After being stunned for several seconds, Yan Jiangchen realized that he had triggered the safe mode, and his room had become a safe fortress with impenetrable walls.

You'll never get out unless you enter the correct password again!

"Hehe, my trick worked really well, didn't it?" Zhou Ruofeng looked at the imposter locked in the room, spinning around in circles, through the surveillance camera and laughed, "I personally installed this surveillance camera while he was participating in a variety show, monitoring the imposter from every angle!"

As for fingerprint locks, of course, a simple app can handle it.

After resetting it to factory settings, I re-entered the fingerprint, password, and facial recognition, and set a security password. Without the password, he can't access the settings at all; he can't even add a new fingerprint!

Xiang Ninghua nodded in satisfaction, "This is the application of high technology; it's indeed simple and convenient."

"What about his cell phone signal? Did you cut it off?" Ye Zhi Qiu pressed.

Zhou Ruofeng replied with a grin, "Don't worry, I've got it all sorted out! Now he can only play some single-player games on his phone."

"Our multi-pronged approach is working well." Hua Siming glanced at the monitor and smiled confidently. "His aura has dimmed to the point of being almost invisible. Let's hurry and try to get everything done before dawn!"

Liu Qingmei was busy preparing for her doctoral entrance exam and was unable to attend.

But she kept a close eye on the group chat and only breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that everything was going smoothly.

The cell phone suddenly lost signal, and even dialing the police showed an error and could not connect. Yan Jiangchen was trapped in the steel fortress and was running around in circles like an ant on a hot pan.

"Was the original owner out of their mind? Who the hell installed two doors, one with a fingerprint lock on each side? They should have torn them down the very first day after transmigrating! How afraid of death were they? They actually made such a mess of the room, and I don't remember anything about it..."

The translucent Jiang Chen stroked his fur, just smiled and didn't say anything.

The fluffy little ball wagged its big, fluffy tail triumphantly, "You definitely don't remember, right? I arranged all of this for my host!"

The power was not cut off in the room, so the fresh air system continued to run to keep the room in the most comfortable condition.

Yan Jiangchen didn't feel comfortable at all. He couldn't get the money or find the treasure the original owner had hidden. How was he going to deal with the butler coming to collect the money tomorrow?

And what jewelry did the fourth sister, Bai Wei, want? The original owner did have such a thing in his memories, and he even showed it to his sisters. It was a set of extremely luxurious emeralds.

What if I can't get it out by myself tomorrow?

"Ha, you actually said bad things about my brother?" Zhou Ruofeng heard the other person's angry mutterings clearly through the monitor, and immediately pressed the button in his hand to cut off the power to the room's lights.

The large bedroom was suddenly plunged into suffocating darkness.

Chapter Forty: The Final Chapter

"Damn it! Why is there a power outage?!" All that could be heard on the monitor was the imposter's slightly frightened scream in the darkness.

Yan Jiangchen's heart pounded a few times, but when she realized the ventilation system hadn't stopped, she felt a little relieved, at least she wasn't worried about suffocating here.

He turned on the flashlight on his phone, and finally a ray of light in the room dispelled the suffocating feeling.

"Phew! Maybe it's not such a bad thing after all." After banging and calling for help for a long time and finding no effect, Yan Jiangchen collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, and comforted himself: "Locked in the safe fortress, no one will be able to ask me for money tomorrow."

The gardener needs something urgently, but I can't go out and can't contact him. I'm sure my little sister can help.

Is Bai Wei's jewelry more important than mine?

Just wait quietly. I'll go out and pretend to be unwell to go to the hospital, then play the victim. My sisters will help me solve all my problems.

It's really troublesome that we can't find that money and valuables.

I don't even have the confidence to speak when I'm broke! What will I do if they bring up those jewels again?

Uh, how about we create another accident and use a classic 'amnesia' escape?

In that case, my personality would drastically change, and losing everything would seem perfectly logical. Maybe making them nervous would reveal who's most important to my sisters. Under my protagonist's halo, could any beauty be irresistible?

Hearing his arrogant self-talk, the younger sisters in the secret room were furious.

"Brother is right, the imposter really is trying to find an opportunity to fake amnesia and fool us!"

"Letting him die a quick death won't satisfy my hatred. I must trap his soul so that he can neither live nor die!"

"How could such trash as this imposter get to experience something as good as time travel? Shouldn't he just be dead and gone? What kind of ridiculous world laws are these, giving him a second life and a halo of glory? It's so unfair!"

"There's no such thing as fairness; I've never seen it."

"Exactly! My brother is such a good person, yet his body was taken over for no reason."

"Stop complaining, everyone come and help find something usable. Once the formation is fixed, the imposter won't be so arrogant anymore."

"That book seems to be full of religious terminology, which I can't understand. There's no information about formations."

"Take a look at this one!"

"I do think this might be useful."

"Some of the formations described in this ancient book seem to be useful. Take a look!"

"Emmm... Soul locking? It seems like it might actually work. Let your brother do the experiment..."

……

Yan Jiangchen, whose aura had dimmed to the point of being almost invisible, fell asleep quickly on the comfortable bed. The faint white (not good) gas slowly drifting into the room from the fresh air system's vents made him sleep deeper and deeper. A few minutes later, he lay motionless.

"I made this sleeping incense myself; I guarantee he can sleep for 12-18 hours without waking up," Bai Wei said confidently. "Let's experiment with it boldly!"

Hua Siming took the lead, with the other girls helping out, and the semi-transparent Jiang Chen personally participated in the test.

After a whole night of experimentation, they finally perfected a complex formation that could trap a soul within it, ensuring it could not escape.

“That’s not safe enough.” Lin Yanran smiled mischievously and pushed her custom-made human prison over. “Mr. Hua, please use cinnabar to draw soul-locking arrays inside and outside this human prison, as well as in the interlayers. That way, we can collect the imposter’s soul or move it to another location at any time.”

Xiang Ninghua snapped her fingers, "Sixth Sister is indeed very thoughtful! If we just trap them, we can't touch their souls and it will be difficult to truly control them."

Having this would be both convenient and safe; I could study it anytime without worrying about my soul escaping.

"It would be best to have Mr. Hua draw more Soul-Locking Arrays on paper, just in case."

"Why don't we just paint it on the ceiling or under the floor? It won't affect us, but it will make it impossible for the imposter's soul to move an inch!"

"Good idea, let's start with the laboratory. After my brother's soul returns, we'll begin setting up the entire manor with a soul-locking array!"

……

In the midst of their conversation, all of the protagonist Yan Jiangchen's escape routes were blocked.

He himself had no sense of crisis whatsoever, and was still immersed in a dream under the influence of the sleeping incense, indulging in a fantasy of wine, women, and brothels.

When the sun was high in the sky and everything was ready, Zhou Ruofeng opened the door of the impregnable fortress with a few clicks on the computer.

Xiang Ninghua and Ye Zhiqi pushed a precision instrument into the room;

Lin Yanran pushed the human prisoner in and placed it to one side for later use;

Hua Siming quickly drew a soul-locking array on the ground with cinnabar;

The other women stood nervously behind the equipment, waiting quietly; the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

"Brother Yan, it's up to you now." After making the final preparations, Hua Siming took a deep breath and looked at the semi-transparent Jiang Chen beside her, nodding to him and saying, "Remember not to step into the cinnabar array. As long as you extract the other party's soul, don't worry about anything else and enter the body immediately."

The little white cat, slightly nervous, wagged its fluffy tail and muttered, "Master, relax! We'll definitely succeed! Come on! Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, my name is Not Nervous!"

"Then I'm going to get ready to start." Jiang Chen calmly walked to the imposter's side and made a grabbing motion.

In reality, what really made a difference was the fluffy ball of fur that jumped to the side of the pillow. It grabbed the other person's shoulder with its two paws and then laboriously lifted up a semi-transparent shadow!

"Host, hurry up and go!"

The little white cat shouted and threw the extracted soul into the cinnabar array.

"I'm Cio!"

"Holy crap!"

Yan Jiangchen and Hua Siming, whose souls had been extracted and appeared semi-transparent, both screamed in surprise.

"It's you?" Yan Jiangchen looked up and saw the guy she was on the variety show with, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you a fashion designer? What are you doing here? What's going on? What are you doing?"

Hua Siming glanced at Yan Jiangchen's soul—tall, thin, and with such an ordinary appearance that he would be unrecognizable in a crowd—and shook her head, twitching her lips. "Tsk tsk tsk, you can tell who's real and who's fake at a glance. With your looks, you think you can steal someone else's body? Sure enough, even in a dragon robe, you don't look like a prince."

Yan Jiangchen then realized what was happening. She looked at her semi-transparent body and then hurriedly looked at the body lying on the bed. A semi-transparent shadow, which looked exactly like the original owner, was trying to enter the body that she had taken over.

"Yan Jiangchen?!" He was startled and tried to pounce on her to grab her body, but found himself unable to move. He exclaimed in shock, "You...you're not dead?!"

The little white cat rolled its eyes. "You're the one who's dead! Your whole family is dead, but my host is perfectly fine!"

"Oh no." Jiang Chen could clearly feel his body rejecting him from entering. He frowned slightly and said, "I've lost contact with the remaining soul. It seems I can't get in."

Upon hearing this, Hua Siming immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "What should we do? Could it be that it's been separated from the body for too long? Oh no, I need to think of a way to soothe the soul."

"What happened? Is something not going well?"

"Mr. Hua, how is my brother?"

"Soothing the soul? Do we need to find ancient books or something?"

"Should we detain the counterfeiters first?"

……

The younger sisters could only see the shadows of the souls through the device, but they couldn't hear their conversations, and they couldn't understand what had happened. They all asked questions at once.

“Your brother’s soul and body can’t resonate, he can’t get in!” Hua Siming quickly issued the order, “Bai Wei, first use silver needles to keep your brother’s heartbeat and breathing smooth;

Big sister, you operate the equipment and work with Yanran to imprison the imposter's soul and transport it to the lab first;

Brother Yan, don't worry, relax and believe that we can definitely do it.

Your aura shines brighter than any imposter's right now, and I'll...

He suddenly froze before he could finish speaking, and looked up at the sky with a tense expression.

At the same time, the little white cat bristled and screamed, "We're doomed! Host, lie down quickly! We've been discovered extracting the protagonist's soul, and a wisp of the main system's will is about to descend!"

Even the translucent Jiang Chen sensed an indescribable feeling, as if something was descending from the sky, and there was a strong sense of oppression in the air.

He took a deep breath and tried to lie as still as possible.

"hiss……"

A very deep sound wave came to my ears, and then a bright light wave appeared in the room, slowly advancing as if filtered.

Time stood still at this moment.

Jiang Chen felt a sense of dreamlike wonder at the scene before him. Hua Siming and her sisters, who had followed orders, remained motionless with tense expressions and movements, and even the clock on the wall seemed to have stopped.

The little white cat jumped onto Yan Jiangchen's soul shoulder, its fur standing on end, watching nervously as the light wave swept towards it.
