Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 200 Arrival at the Swamp
The team followed the route that had long been recorded in the documents and headed towards the swamp area of ​​Moonburn Village at night.

With Ling Xiao leading the way, the journey became much easier. Bai He was still responsible for avoiding the moonlight, but fortunately, the main section of this route passed through a cave, so Bai He did not need to continue consuming spell power to use his supernatural powers.

Xia Shou walked at the end, silently observing everyone's condition.

For him, the weaker the others are, the better, because by the final step of the plan, he will become everyone's enemy, and when he becomes a blood demon, he must avoid killing the real person while killing the imposter.

This requires overwhelming strength, so the weaker everyone is, the better. The best situation is that everyone is so weak that they cannot move, and only he can move freely. That is his best condition.

Speaking of which...the blood demon who just awakened after death should not be affected by the rules of Yuezhuo Village, right?

Oh, it’s such a headache.

It's not just Yuezhuo Village that's in trouble, it's also that guy No. 58.

No. 58 and Alice should be old acquaintances, but Alice seems to have no memory of the other party at all. Is it because she has become a possessed spirit and lost all her memories of her previous life?

From the few words said by No. 58, we can know that Alice was in Merlin's House even when she was alive, and seemed to be responsible for serving the successive owners of Merlin's House.

"Alice, what was the previous owner of Merlin's House like?" Xia Shou asked softly as he walked at the end of the team.

"I'm sorry, Lord Xia Shou, I forgot." Alice said guiltily.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Xia Shou comforted.

Since Alice doesn't remember the previous owners, she'll have to ask the dead note.

Alice is the spirit that the Note contracted for. It is impossible for the Note not to know that Alice is the keeper of Merlin's House, or even that the Note was the previous owner of Merlin's House.

But when they met for the first time after traveling through time, it concealed such an important fact from him and only told him that Alice was a vengeful spirit.

...Now that I think about it, it seems even more suspicious.

The dead note must know a lot of inside information.

At this moment, Xia Shou really wanted to take out the rote notes from the shadow and ask clearly, but there were too many people around and the timing was not right, so he could only endure it for the time being.

"Xia Shou, do you have any food with you? I'm so hungry. I've eaten all the stewed beef and compressed biscuits." Su Weiyu walked forward with a tired face.

Her spirits were no longer as high as before, and her physical and mental strength were weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What worries Xia Shou even more is her abyssal syndrome.

Miraculously, Xia Shou's delusion has never recurred since he entered Yuezhuo Village.

But Su Weiyu's gluttony never stopped. He often saw Su Weiyu taking out some snacks and eating a few bites from time to time.

In this case, what will happen if Su Weiyu's appetite cannot be satisfied for a long time?

Although it was curious, Xia Shou felt that it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Wait for me." Xia Shou rushed to the front of the team, asked others for a few compressed biscuits, begged for the only bottle of mineral water, and then gave them all to Su Weiyu to temporarily curb her abnormal appetite.

Although there were only a few compressed biscuits, they were enough to sustain her for a while. Su Weiyu's only symptom was that she wanted to eat frequently, but her appetite did not increase much.

Liu Yilong, who had the most physical strength, was walking at the front of the team, holding a makeshift torch.

There was a sound of dripping water in the cave, and the stalactites hanging upside down above their heads had experienced tens of thousands of years. They were like thirsty travelers who had been trapped in the desert for three days and three nights. Everyone was listless, and their strength was reduced to half of the normal state. Even Xia Shou began to worry whether they could defeat the mysterious monster that had defeated the expedition team.

"Alice."

"Ok?"

"There are so many doors in Merlin's House. Are the owners of the house from all generations really sealed inside?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Xia Shou, I don't know." Alice paused for a moment, then immediately continued, "But I am absolutely loyal to you, Lord Xia Shou, and I will never betray you."

Xia Shou nodded and didn't delve into the point further.

He knew that whether to betray or be loyal or not, it was not Alice who was right. There were some rules that Alice could not break, just like he could not turn his head back.

No matter how loyal Alice was, if he turned his head, his neck would still be broken. Now, he was very accustomed to moving his waist and hips at the same time when looking behind him, so that the upper body could turn behind him, instead of just turning his head 60 degrees.

Although it was only a few months, he felt as if he had never turned his head since he was born and had already developed a habit.

But this time, he asked about the doors of Merlin's House not to find out the whereabouts of the other owners.

"Can you open those doors?" Xia Shou asked.

Alice hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, but that's very dangerous. Although I don't know what's sealed inside, it must be something very dangerous that will put you in an unpredictable and huge crisis. And..."

Alice paused for a moment before continuing softly, "If I want to open the door, I shouldn't open it unless the time is right...even if you die, I shouldn't open those doors."

"Rules..."

Xia Shou was mentally prepared for this answer.

He had vaguely guessed the significance of Merlin's House, and understood the true duty of Alice as the caretaker of the house.

Alice's duty is probably to restrict the owner from opening the sealed door at will.

It is conceivable that if these doors could be opened at will, most homeowners would force the doors open before they died, summoning extremely dangerous mythical creatures from the doors and fighting the enemy.

There is no way Merlin's House could have so many doors.

"I see the light, so we should be on the right track." Liu Yilong said in front.

They walked out of the cave, stuck to the mountain wall behind them, and observed the surrounding environment in the shadow of the mountain wall.

This was a huge swamp. A large amount of floating objects created a contrast of light and dark shadows under the moonlight. The ground under their feet was soft and sticky like hot asphalt in summer. If they continued to move closer to the edge of the swamp, their calves would probably sink into the mud.

"This is really terrible! Do we really have to fight here? Let's just go back." No. 102 began to back out.

"I really want to go back to the village. Miss Kamiya is still waiting for me... If I don't go back, Miss Kamiya will become a widow." Goro said with despair.

Ms. Kamiya?

She’s already my fiancée, why are you still calling her so polite?

And if you don't go back, she can just remarry. After all, she is just her fiancée.

Xia Shou refrained from saying such words to avoid irritating Kirigakure Goro's fragile heart. Now returning to his hometown and marrying Miss Kamiya is probably his only spiritual support.

"Work hard, Miss Kamiya must be waiting for you!" Xia Shou patted Goro's shoulder hard.

"Xiao Xia..." Goro stared into Xia Shou's eyes with great emotion, as if he was encouraged.

Ling Xiao turned his head in confusion: "Huh? According to the custom in your ninja village, is it that if the fiancé dies, you can't marry again?"

Xia Shou's expression froze. He saw the light that had just lit up in Wulang's eyes quickly dim.

"It has been figured out, Ling Xiao is a fake." Wu Lang said coldly.

"Why am I fake!" Ling Xiao felt aggrieved and puzzled.

Liu Yilong sighed and said to Ling Xiao: "Are you an idiot? You have no emotional intelligence, right? Didn't you hear that Fatty is still calling his fiancée by her last name?

Fatty actually doesn't know Miss Kamiya very well. It's probably an arranged marriage, but he just likes her very much. If you say that, it will irritate him."

Xia Shou looked at Liu Yilong and thought to himself, your emotional intelligence is not that high. Although all your reasoning is correct, why did you say it out loud?

"I'll kill the first two of you after that." Wu Lang muttered with an unfocused look.

"Um...um, everyone, please stop arguing...it seems like something is coming over there, right?"

113 said timidly, raising his hand and pointing to the swamp in the east.
