He rushed to the corridor.

"Welcome to the Rand Kingdom Treasure House"

At that moment, a prompt message appeared on the system interface.

Xiao Huai frowned. There was a half-open door at the end of the corridor.

However, through just half a crack in the door, he saw a room full of gold and jewelry.

Even if there is no light in the house, these magnificent treasures piled together, the golden light reflected by each other can even reach a dazzling level.

Xiao Huai stopped and opened the invitation letter, which contained a key.

There is nothing special about this key, it is just a rusty piece of iron.

"What are you waiting for, child? Go and get the treasure you want."

Suddenly, a female voice sounded from behind him. Xiao Huai turned around and saw a woman in gorgeous clothes.

Her long blue hair was like the shore of Lake Clayt. Even though she had a smile on her face, the aloofness in her eyes made her seem unlike an ordinary person.

At that moment, Lu Yuanshi's face flashed through Xiao Huai's mind.

His frown deepened.

The two of them are clearly not related at all.

His intuition told him that this woman was not a mortal, but most likely a god who played an NPC in the game.

"who are you?"

The woman thought Xiao Huai would ask some special questions, but he just asked lightly who she was.

Blue-haired woman: "If you must define my identity, you can call me the guardian of this place."

Xiao Huai raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly: "You are not protecting anyone, you are just a gatekeeper."

There are no living people who can protect this place.

The blue-haired woman was slightly stunned, her smile widened, and there was suddenly a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"So what do you think I'm guarding?"

"The variables of the game." Xiao Huai's gaze seemed to pass through the woman and fell directly on a shabby little room.

In the past of the Land Kingdom, the powerful did not find treasure in the palace, not because they hid it.

But it’s because there is no treasure here at all.

When all the people of a country live and work in peace and contentment, money is just a number, and the real treasure is the trust between people.

Xiao Huai looked back at the treasure house: "That's not a treasure house at all, but a cage, isn't it?"

Everyone chases after wealth and ends up trapped in the cage of money.

As Xiao Huai finished speaking, hundreds of scarlet lights suddenly flashed in the treasure house, like the eyes of a monster.

The woman raised an eyebrow, and after a moment, she said, "You are very special."

There lie the greediest sinners, those who brought about the downfall of Rand Palace.

A country that was once favored by the gods eventually fell into destruction.

She was accustomed to the ugliness of human nature, and the group of people she wanted to protect with great difficulty eventually disappeared. She chose to come here to see how many such people there were.

But after waiting for so long, I didn’t see any sinners, not even a single person.

She had plenty of time. Even if no one could come to the Lost Land, she could see how many people chose to kill their own kind.

It's so boring.

But the moment Xiao Huai entered the game, he caught her attention immediately, and her mood fluctuated with his every choice.

He is special, he is different from other humans.

He said he wanted to harm people, but he was protecting them in secret.

This reminded her of an old friend - the prince of the Rand Kingdom.

The little prince.

Due to the restrictions of the rules, she could no longer see him, but at least she was still here and could feel the presence of the little prince.

For her, it is one of the few lights.

Even so, she would see this light disappear with her own eyes.

To her, a human life is just a fleeting glimpse.

Xiao Huai gripped the key tightly. "I'm looking for someone. If he is the variable in the game, will you, as the gatekeeper, stop me?"

The woman slowly approached Xiao Huai and raised her head: "Is it really okay for you to ask me such a question?"

Is the villain going to announce to the world that he wants to kill someone? That kind of villain might not be too stupid.

Xiao Huai stared into her eyes. In her blue eyes, there was no complicated emotion, but a hint of tenderness was hidden.

"I can't beat you."

He said it as if he was giving up.

The woman's pupils dilated slightly, and she laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Go ahead. I won't attack you, but you have to be quick. My mission is indeed similar to what you imagined. I will pretend not to see you." She walked forward, passing Xiao Huai, and whispered, "If you don't find him, or are too slow, then you lose."

She could take the risk of letting him go, but if she had to bear the divine punishment, she would definitely kill the young man in front of her without hesitation, no matter how unique he was.

The pain of divine punishment is unimaginable.

Xiao Huai rushed to the shabby little room without stopping. It looked like a dirty and messy room for servants to live in.

But the heroic deeds piled up in the corner vaguely told Xiao Huai that this was where the boy's growth was recorded.

He took out a flashlight, illuminated the room, and carefully searched for more clues related to him.

Key…key…

He opened his eyes wide, rushed out the door, and ran to the other side of the palace.

The blue-haired woman looked at his departing back, pinched her chin lightly, and muttered to herself:

"That child is really quick to react. It looks like he's going to win this game." She looked into the distance. "Little Prince, is it worth it for you to use up all your remaining strength to make him your variable?"

----

"Witch's House", where is the witches' home and who gave it to them?

Their home is in the Rand Palace, and their home was given to them by His Royal Highness the Prince.

He had seen this key before. At that time, the boy gave them the box hidden behind him, and the key was inside.

Only now, the key has rusted and changed its shape, but no matter what, it still represents home.

There is a group photo in the small room, a photo of the young prince and the eight witches taken in the palace.

He put the photo into the system space and ran forward.

Ahead is their way home.

Finally, he stopped in front of the other palace.

The door was locked. Xiao Huai took a deep breath, inserted the key ring, and the sound of the lock turning reached his eardrums.

at last……

The moment the door was opened, thousands of blue butterflies danced and lingered on the beams, and transparent silver fragments connected into lines and tightly wrapped around the young man like chains.

The young man in battle robes knelt in the middle of the room, imprisoned there.

His body had disappeared until only an afterimage remained.

The moment Xiao Huai pushed open the door, the young man raised his head and looked at him.

Lips start: "You are finally here."

Xiao Huai came to him.

The young man's legs were deeply embedded in the ground, like a quagmire, and his legs had long been imprisoned.

Xiao Huai didn't ask him why he asked "You are finally here" at the beginning, as if he knew he would come from the beginning.

Xiao Huai simply said: "Why me?"
