“Bone shackles, the slight over-movement stimulates the bones, causing bone spurs to grow from inside.
Furthermore, this kind of shackles should be under the surveillance of this Senior from the Dead Spirit Class. The moment we show any inclination to break free, he will know immediately.
It’s really challenging, we can only delay the time slightly.”
Like a slave being led, Han Dong gave Winry a ‘reassuring’ look… before receiving a signal, Winry only needs to wait quietly.
At this time, the leading Lucius issued a heavy voice from his helmet, “Right, we haven’t introduced ourselves yet?
My name is Lucius Tosser, Cross Crusader, specializing in blood knights.
These two are my teammates. Lunze Fiji, majoring in ‘Library’, specializing in dead spirits; and Jane Mikazki, majoring in ‘Mysticism’, specializing in shadow arts.”
“Mysticism? Senior…”
Han Dong glanced at the senior who was surrounded by a dark aura and wearing a skull mask…Unexpectedly, ‘Mysticism’ could also be used to create assassins.
However,
Even though they are from the same academy, this senior named Jane seemed to ignore the fact that this junior has been shackled like this.
“As freshmen, no matter how you made your way to the ‘Upper Area’, it indicates that you are quite capable…In addition, you were able to kill the ‘Blacksmith’, as well as seeing through Lunze’s Dead Spirit tracking, it all proves that you are unique.
That’s why I have to be a bit cautious with you, so as not to make any mistakes.
According to the map, the room not too far ahead corresponds to the ‘Private Butler’ of the Great Lord, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“Hmm… Lunze, leave the indoor combat to Jane and me, you stay outside and watch these two.”
The Dead Spirit Apprentice named Lunze slightly nodded.
“No problem… If you haven’t solved the target within half an hour, I’ll come in and help. I’ll take good care of these two juniors, haha.”
Facing the sealed bedroom wooden door, Lucius reached out.
A sharp blood-armoured arm emerged on its own, easily destroyed the lock with one claw.
A familiar greasy smell flooded out from the room.
Upon smelling this disgusting odor, Lucius and his party looked at the greasy walls inside the room, their expressions slightly changed.
The Dead Spirit Apprentice Lunze asked, “Doesn’t seem like an ordinary Family Executive, Captain… Should I let the skeleton soldier guard them, and we go in together?”
“No need… The cooperation between Jane and me is enough.”
Having said that,
Ms. Jane who was wearing a skull mask, her body seemed to blend into the shadow behind Lucius… She seemed to be adept at shadow control.
In front of Lucius, in addition to the ‘goggles’, an additional layer of blood mist was applied to strengthen the filter against pollution.
He officially entered the Grease House.
Upon close observation, one will realize,
Every step Lucius’d taken seemed to be on the greasy ground.
In reality, there was a layer of blood beneath his feet that separated the grease, preventing direct contact with it, and at the same time preventing the creep of contamination.
In no time, Lucius entered the partition, which was the wax statue making area where Barbara was located.
Squish! Squish! The grease was wriggling.
The manufacturing area and the bedroom doors were both sealed by a thick and contaminated layer of grease, leaving only the Dead Spirit Apprentice and Han Dong to wait in the passageway.
“This smell… it feels familiar…”
Winry sniffed the greasy smell in the air, suddenly reminded of what happened last night, her cheeks flushed.
At this moment.
The Dead Spirit Apprentice responsible for guarding the two of them, Lunze Fiji, raised his hood.
His face was emaciated, with sparse hair and dark circles under his eyes due to practicing Dead Spirit spells…Such an image quite matched those of Dead Spirit Mages, Han Dong also recalled that in his previous world, employees in certain industries would also appear in a similar state.
Besides, Senior Lunze’s face was covered with many strange tattoos, his two eyes covered with a light grey mist were staring at Han Dong.
“You should be part of the same team as Dumps Martin, right?”
“Yes.”
Lunze curiously asked, “What’s he like, is he really that impressive?
Recently, the whole library has been spreading his information. They were all not positive information, I heard that he seems to have something going on with the Deputy Curator… I really want to see this ‘unique’ junior.”
As he said this, Lunze stuck out his tongue and licked his face in a full circle.
“Dumps, well… I did not see much.”
Han Dong just chuckled softly. At present, Mr. Dumps is helping him with affairs, naturally he wouldn’t say anything bad about him here. He also certainly wouldn’t expose anything about Second Five Man.
Lunze’s attention quickly shifted to Han Dong, “Your disguise ability is really interesting? How did you do it?”
“Suturing.”
“Oh…no wonder!
I heard that masters of suturing can perfectly stitch the limbs of various monsters onto an individual’s body. Using it for disguise like this is the basic’s basics, that’s interesting.
Relax, we won’t make it too hard for you.
It’s just that your performance yesterday was quite realistic and successfully deceived us, which annoyed the Captain… As long as you follow us obediently to find the elevator to the hall, we will let you leave safely.
With the Captain’s abilities, as long as the Great Lord here doesn’t reach the level of ‘Demon’, he’ll certainly be able to kill him head-on, you just need to wait for the training to end.”
“Thank you, senior.”
Han Dong kept silent and chuckled to himself, continuing to wait.
In a short while,
The shadow beside Lunze floated, and Jane, who was wearing a skull mask, showed her head.
“Lunze, come help! Inside are many objects that need to be disposed of.
Also, I can’t find where the ‘key’ is, try using your Dead Spirit Art to temporarily control this private butler, ask where the key is or let her lead the way to the ‘Main Hall’.”
“Oh… you actually need my help?” Lunze seemed to dislike entering this greasy environment.
“This Executive is a bit different from those in the lower levels, the level difference from ‘Demon’ isn’t much… Hurry in.”
“I’m coming!”
Lunze scattered a small pile of white bones casually, immediately forming a Skeleton Soldier with blue ghostly fire in its eyes to supervise Han Dong and Winry.
“Juniors, don’t even think about escaping… As I’ve said, we mean no harm.”
As this Dead Spirit Apprentice entered the inner room.
Winry immediately nudged Han Dong with her shoulder… signalling that these bone shackles were not strong enough to hold her, she could break free at any time.
Who knew, Han Dong would stick his mouth to her ear and whisper, “Keep waiting… no hurry.”
“Ah… alright!”
This whispering made Winry a bit embarrassed, at the same time she also gave a puzzled look, unable to fathom Han Dong’s thoughts.
