Chapter 831 No. 58's Monologue
Soon, the blue-haired No. 58 sat on the black shadow, as if sitting on a puddle of soft black mud, with half of his crossed legs sunk into the shadow.

"Why are you looking for me again? Didn't Alice tell you? Don't open the door too frequently. Even a real door will become unstable if it is opened and closed too frequently." No. 58 smiled contemptuously. It was hard to tell whether it was a threat or a kind reminder.

"Do you know Thorad?"

"Sorad? Who?"

Sure enough, he didn't know either.

But now that I've already called it out, I might as well ask other questions.

"Do you know about Alice's past?" Xia Shou asked.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lie again?" No. 58 sneered.

"I want you to judge for yourself whether what you said is true or false." Xia Shou said.

No. 58 can certainly lie, but the power and price defined by the door frame have a binding force similar to that of a devil's contract, and when it comes to the use of the door, he cannot lie.

Just like when he asked Idrisu to transplant the scorpion spine, he needed to provide the other party with treatment for the incurable disease. Idrisu could not satisfy his desire without performing the operation, and he could not let Idrisu perform the operation without providing the terminal disease to satisfy his desire.

Therefore, as long as No. 58 is allowed to self-identify, even if No. 58 lied, he can at least determine what information No. 58 lied about.

"This way you can know whether what I say is true or false, but if I lie all the time, it won't be considered a breach of contract. Don't you think it's a loss?"

"So we can talk."

"Haha, let's make an additional gentleman's agreement on this. Next time you fight with someone, give me the vision of one eye and the sense of touch of part of my body, including the sense of pain.

Pain is also a vital experience for being a human being, but I have never felt it. I want to experience what it feels like for a real human to fight.

I know this will affect your combat, but some past events are worth the risk, and the decision is yours." No. 58 said.

"I promise you, but this is just a verbal promise. Like you said, this is a gentleman's agreement. If what you say is helpful to me, I will not fool you." Xia Shou said.

He was also reminding No. 58 that this deal depended entirely on the integrity of both parties. He could completely break his promise, and No. 58 could tell the whole truth but only talk about a small, unimportant part of the past.

Such a transaction can be a lose-lose situation or a win-win situation.

“Well, maybe from this time on, our relationship can improve?
So, I started talking about my story.

You should have guessed my previous name a long time ago, right? "

"Pinocchio."

“Yes, my name used to be Pinocchio, a puppet made of cherry wood.

Since this time you're asking about Alice, I won't talk about the story after I ran away from home. Let's just start from the time when I was created by my grandfather.

I have known Alice since I was born, because my grandfather who created me is a resident of Merlin's House. Of course, my grandfather is not the owner of Merlin's House, but a carpenter who helps the owners suppress the seal inside the door.

Also living in the house with us is Lilia, who is my good friend, and Alice, the maid of Merlin's House. She guards Merlin's House and is responsible for taking care of the food and daily life of everyone living in Merlin's House.

Also helps every owner of Merlin's House.

Of course, in fact, she works for Merlin's House, and every owner of the house also works for Merlin's House. No one can occupy the position of owner forever, but Merlin's House will always exist, and Alice, as the keeper of the house, will always be there. The only thing that will change is the owner of Merlin's House.

I remember telling you that every owner of Merlin's House eventually became a door, without exception, and this is true, at least that's what I saw.

The power of Merlin's House is very strong, right? I understand. No matter who it is, as long as they become the owner of that house, they will become extremely powerful. It is such a powerful thing. According to the standards of the Control Bureau, Merlin's House should be classified as a mythological relic... No, it should be a heritage.

Devouring all abnormalities and transforming abnormal power into extraordinary power that one can use is a miraculous power in itself. Just knowing the monsters imprisoned inside, one can understand how high the level of this house is.

For this reason, every homeowner will have the illusion that he or she is unique and regards himself or herself as the protagonist of the world.

But without any exception, they were all locked in the door in the end. The living were locked in separate doors, and the dead, bodies and everything, were locked in the utility room and placed together with other dead owners of the house from past generations.

Do you know where that room is?
Behind the door at the end of the corridor there is a staircase leading to the second floor. Behind a door on the second floor are the names of the deceased owners of the house.

If you die, that's where you'll end up, and if you live, it'll probably end up being a separate door."

"Lord Xia Shou, this is impossible." Alice suddenly spoke.

No. 58 looked at Alice in confusion and sighed: "Alice... has she really forgotten everything? It's clear that she was the one who sealed every owner of the house in the end."

"He's lying. I wouldn't do that to you," Alice said angrily.

"What I said is true. At least every homeowner I know ended up like this." No. 58 defended himself calmly.

"Alice, listen to him first...you continue."

“Lilia, my grandfather and I all like Alice very much. I think no one would dislike Alice. The only annoying thing about Alice is that she would do those things to the owner of the house.

Antoine, Huai Yeyu, Jiang Yunsheng, Jingshui Huizi, everyone was locked behind doors by Alice in the end. Lilia and I became very good friends with the new owners several times, but in the end we were all locked behind doors by Alice.

Why do this when everyone is so happy and has been together for so long? Alice, you like them too, right? Alice also considers them as friends, doesn’t she?

"...I don't remember." Alice said softly, with no emotion in her voice.

“There’s nothing we can do about the dead, but as for the others, it’s obvious that they became like that because of that room. Isn’t it pitiful to lock them up again?” No. 58 said sadly.

No. 58's mood is beyond words. If Xia Shou could not let No. 58 verify the truth of his words, he might think that No. 58 is lying now.

If he was not lying, it meant that these past events had a huge impact on his heart, and even left a huge psychological shadow.
