When the sky began to turn light, Concubine Liu stopped moving in the house. A black snake crawled out of the window and crawled towards the imperial garden.

Lian Wu had long since concealed his presence and followed behind at a leisurely pace. Concubine Liu was most likely dead, and it was inconvenient for him to go forward and check, so he might as well follow the snake demon.

Unexpectedly, the snake demon rushed all the way to the imperial garden and entered the secret passage under the rockery.

Lian Wu knew about the existence of this secret passage. He had seen the craftsmen who built the imperial garden in his early years. He learned from them that there was a complicated secret escape passage underneath that led to the outside of the palace.

Lian Wu did not rush forward, but instead separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and followed in.

Unexpectedly, the snake demon turned back into human form, and the Human Emperor who was supposed to be on the coast was also here.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is dead, and it's time to fulfill your promise to me."

"Don't be anxious, Amu. The power structure in the court is complex and complicated. For your sake, I have to eliminate those who are dissidents. Please wait a moment."

The Human Emperor was painting a long-winded picture without any guilt. Lian Wu was also shocked. After the snake demon died, the Human Emperor had clearly executed Concubine Liu and whipped the snake demon's corpse.

[I'll bet one point that this Human Emperor and the Snake Demon are having an affair.]

[The comment above is still too conservative. I bet 10 points that this Human Emperor is just playing around, using this snake demon. Do you believe he'll kick this snake demon out right away?]

[Second!]

Lian Wu also didn't believe what the Human Emperor said. He knew a lot about the Human Emperor's scandals, but adhering to the principle of minding his own business, he never revealed them.

After they exchanged sweet words for a while, the snake demon followed the emperor out of the palace. Lian Wu also quietly returned to his residence.

After Lian Wu closed his eyes and rested for about two hours, news came from the palace that the Human Emperor had returned to the palace, and it was said that he had brought back a female doctor.

A grand banquet was held in the palace, and Lian Wu, as a distinguished guest, was naturally invited. At the banquet, the so-called female doctor stood beside the Human Emperor.

Lian Wu took a look and found that it was indeed the snake demon in disguise.

The banquet had been going on for less than two quarters of an hour when two eunuchs hurriedly tried to rush in, but were stopped by the guards.

Hearing the noise outside, the Human Emperor frowned.

"What's going on outside?"

"Your Majesty, the eunuch accompanying Concubine Liu said there is something important to report."

Lian Wu immediately knew they had discovered that Concubine Liu was dead. He drank his tea slowly, but the strings in his heart were already taut, and he sensed a sense of crisis.

They were still in the dungeon, and excessive comfort could lead to a greater crisis. Lian Wu didn't dare to relax, constantly observing the Human Emperor and the other guests.

The eunuch was let in. As soon as he entered, he knelt before the Emperor, wailing, "Your Majesty, the Empress is gone!"

The Emperor slammed down his cup, a look of disbelief and anger on his face. "How could this happen? Come, seal off the palace immediately!"

A large number of secret guards rushed in and stood beside everyone, with swords placed on their necks.

Lian Wu glanced coldly at the Human Emperor. It was obvious that the Human Emperor had set a trap. These secret guards had been arranged here long ago by him, and he took advantage of this banquet to capture these people in one fell swoop.

He, who had come to exchange for the unpolished jade, was a pure grudge, and was merely implicated. However, the Human Emperor would not let him off easily. The method of leaving the illusion would most likely depend on the Human Emperor's actions in the future.

"Concubine Liu has passed away, and an assassin has infiltrated the palace. To protect your safety, and also to prevent the assassin from being among us, you will all remain in the palace until the assassin is found."

Everyone had a hard time speaking out their grievances, their necks were held tightly by the blades. If they had any complaints, they would probably be killed by the sword in the next second.

Lian Wu was escorted back to his original residence. Unlike before, there were heavy guards outside.

After several days, when the mist was released, those ministers had been cleared out, and those ministers who posed a threat to the Human Emperor but were inconvenient to eliminate directly were also controlled.

Some were demoted, some were promoted in name only but demoted in reality, and some were even exiled to the frontier.

Lian Wu was directly imprisoned in the palace. After being released from the room, Lian Wu really couldn't sit there and wait for death. He had been staying in the illusion for too long.

That night, Lian Wu froze the secret guards in the yard into ice sculptures, and rushed straight to the Human Emperor's bedroom with a sword in hand.

He kicked the door open, but unexpectedly saw some disgusting scenes.

The snake demon was covered in blood and chained to the bed. The snake scales on its body were visible and the wound on its leg had festered.

The Human Emperor was still holding a branding iron in his hand, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly break in. He didn't hold it firmly and the branding iron fell directly on the snake demon's wound.

The snake demon let out a shrill scream, two sharp fangs appeared, and its pupils turned into vertical pupils.

The sound was so sharp that the Human Emperor couldn't help but cover his ears. Lian Wu didn't hesitate and stabbed the Human Emperor's leg with his sword.

Blood suddenly gushed out of the Human Emperor's thigh. The intense pain made him kneel on the ground, followed by a scream.

Lian Wu broke the Human Emperor's hands and feet with his backhand, threw away the large vase on the low shelf, wiped it briefly, sat on it, and looked down at the two people in front of him.

"Tell me, how can I get out?"

Lianwu pointed his sword at the snake demon, and the bright red blood on the sword dripped onto the snake demon.

The Human Emperor answered Lian Wu first, "You want to go out? No way!"

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me. I want to see who can hold out longer, you two or me."

"You know, I've lived for so many years and have seen no less punishment than you. Remember to be mentally prepared."

Lian Wu smiled, without looking at them, and concentrated on wiping the sword gently with a handkerchief.

His movements were slow, as if he didn't care at all about their answers.

The snake demon had been tortured for two days before Lian Wu arrived, and the pain of being beheaded was still fresh in his memory. He was now completely panicked.

"I say! The way out is to change the course of human history. We can't follow the previous course, nor can we let it go."

The Human Emperor had no time to stop the snake demon. When he heard the snake demon tell him the method, he gritted his teeth and cursed the snake demon.

Seeing them like this, Lian Wu felt only sadness. They knew clearly that they were just illusions in the illusion, yet they were arguing about such things. The power and wealth in the illusion were nothing but a bubble, yet they were still obsessed with it, unwilling to let go.

As for the method of leaving, Lian Wu thought that if he wanted to change all this, the most direct way would probably be to kill the Human Emperor.

Once the Human Emperor dies, those forces will definitely be in chaos. According to the original trend, Liu Fei's family has the greatest power, and her father is very likely to become the new Human Emperor.

Thinking of this, Lian Wu stabbed the Human Emperor in the heart with a sword, blood splattered all over him, and his white robe was stained with blood.

Watching the Human Emperor die in front of him, the snake demon was so frightened that he dared not breathe, fearing that he would be the next to die.

"Tell me, how could a person who is just a person in an illusion have such memories?"

"The illusion randomly extracted a section of your memory. We were assigned corresponding identities and were asked to reenact the original events. If the events unfold differently from our memories, we have a chance to redesign the course."

After the snake demon served these out, its figure gradually faded and everything around it dissipated like smoke. Lian Wu's eyes went dark and when he opened them again, he had already left the illusion.

Wilhelmina had woken up, but her body was covered with thorns and tangled with rose branches. Her eyes had become much more mature, not as arrogant as at the beginning.

The change was so obvious that Lian Wu couldn't help but look at Xing a few more times, holding Shuangjiang vigilantly.

However, Wilhelmina ignored him. Instead, she looked at the vines in the room and smiled coldly, as if she was looking at another person through the vines.

The next person to wake up was Zhang Hui. When she woke up, her entire back was soaked with sweat and her whole body was trembling.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay, it was just too exciting when I jumped off the building."

Zhang Hui suddenly received a surgery notice in the illusion, but the doctors and nurses who came to pick her up had stiff faces and looked at her with extremely empty eyes.

She knew there was definitely something wrong because she had already given up treatment and was about to be discharged from the hospital today. It was impossible for her to suddenly receive a so-called surgery notice.

This operation was definitely a one-way trip. After leaving the ward, Zhang Hui pushed the nurse next to her away and rushed to the rooftop with all her strength. A large group of doctors and nurses chased her and forced her to the edge of the rooftop.

Zhang Hui didn't know where she got the courage from, but she simply climbed over the guardrail and jumped.

As she fell rapidly, she could feel the wind hitting her face violently, and many scenes before she fell ill flashed through her mind. Just as she was about to land, she woke up.

Every time someone wakes up, the vines will wither a little. When he just woke up, Lian Wu didn't notice this, but after Zhang Hui woke up, he clearly saw this process.

When Tang Ze woke up, the change became even more obvious. Large vines withered and fell to the ground.

They hadn't expected that Chen Qianyi would be the last to wake up. However, she was in the best condition when she woke up, as if she had just woken up naturally.

"There's something about this illusion. Even my master brought it up."

Chen Qianyi originally thought that the illusion did not bring out her master, but she did not expect that when the sun was about to set, her master came back from the village carrying wine.

Although she knew she was fake, Chen Qianyi couldn't help but shed tears. Ever since the plague broke out and she entered the world of remembrance, she hadn't seen her master for three years. Illusions like this usually didn't bring her master back, so this time it was truly a pleasant surprise.

So Chen Qianyi chose to be willful for once and stayed with her master in the illusion for a whole month.

Finally, one evening, the master and she drank together under a tree.

"Yiyi, you've been here for a month now, it's time to go back. You know I'm not real, so there's no need to deceive yourself in a false illusion."

Chen Qianyi was stunned when she heard this and almost spilled the wine in her hand.

She was at a loss for words and tried to explain, "Master, I..."

"Yiyi, don't indulge in illusions. It will only make you vulnerable. I don't want to see you like that."

As soon as the words fell, blood flowed from the corner of the master's mouth.

Chen Qianyi didn't say anything else, leaning against a thick branch and sighing silently.

The poison took effect quickly, and in just half an hour, Chen Qianyi left the illusion.

When she woke up, the vines in the room had completely withered, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, a desolate scene.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1/5 of the Bone-Eating Vine through Mr. Leeson's Dream House]

Beautiful plants are often poisonous, and the ugly bone-eating vine is no exception. In certain environments, it can cause people to fall into an illusion, clinging to it. While the illusion exists, the vine grows; when the illusion is broken, the vine withers.

[Congratulations to the player for reaching 100% exploration of the third floor space and obtaining 1/5 of the Bone-Eating Vine]

Originally just a vine on a cliff, it was taken away by Mr. Leeson for an experiment by chance. Since then, its life has changed dramatically, and it has acquired powerful abilities and a bloodthirsty desire.

[Congratulations to player Lianwu for collecting all the information on the Bone-Eating Vine and receiving the reward: Shelter of the Undead]

Congratulations to player Lianwu for collecting a complete set of B-level data items and achieving the achievement: Primary Collector.

The three looked at Lian Wu in surprise. In their impression, they had only collected four pieces of information in total. They didn't expect that Lian Wu actually had another piece of information.

Although they were quite curious about the information, they were too embarrassed to ask directly. After all, it was obtained by Lian Wu himself, and they had no qualifications or position to ask for it.

In fact, Lian Wu had obtained this information in the first room. On the last page of his diary was a piece of paper containing information about the Bone-Eating Vine. The note he had slipped to Zhou Yixi was that information.

The subsequent action of killing Mr. Leeson was also closely related to this information.

After the exploration of the third floor was completed, the entire floor returned to normal. The second room was the wedding room that Lisen prepared for Wilhelmina. Later, due to various accidents, it became a prison that trapped Wilhelmina.

Wilhelmina followed them down from the third floor. At this time, Zhou Yixi and the other two had returned to the first floor, anxiously waiting for them to come down.

By this time, night had fallen, and the maid had become a complete puppet, mechanically repeating instructions and serving food to the players. The escaped butler still hadn't appeared.

A maid pulled out a chair for Wilhelmina, and the other maids bowed to her respectfully.

Zhou Yixi probably guessed who the other person was. Apart from the deceived fiancée, there was no other candidate who could have such a status in the castle.

Wilhelmina's eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped at Zhou Yixi.

"Well, they are somewhat similar."

Zhou Yixi, confused, looked at Chen Qianyi and Lian Wu in confusion, trying to find the answer to this question on their faces.

During the meal, no one spoke, and everyone was secretly observing Wilhelmina.

But until the end of the meal, they had not been able to get any information from Wilhelmina.

After finishing her meal, Wilhelmina returned to the third floor, locked herself in her room, and did not allow anyone to disturb her.

The door of the room is blocked by thorns and roses. If anyone touches it without knowing the truth, he will certainly not get any good results.
