I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

"Red...red ghost lantern!" The old man muttered hesitantly, twisting his neck and suddenly turning a circle. With a creaking sound, no more words came out of his mouth.

Darkness suddenly enveloped the sky, and Lin Yan looked up.

The flower on the wall stretched out its neck, opened its fangs that had been hidden for a long time, and bit Lin Yan fiercely.

"It's time to have a full meal."

"Little girl, just wait and die!"

Lin Yan looked back and conjured a colorful grass in his hand, emitting a strange red light.

"Uh……"

Looking at the tender grass, all the flowers froze in mid-air, motionless.

Suddenly, everyone was silent.

Lin Yan remembered that they were blood roses and wanted to study them, so he moved his head forward slightly.

The blood roses shrank their petals, covered their buds with leaves, and trembled.

"waste!"

The old man screamed hoarsely and rushed forward with a lantern in hand.

Lin Yan turned sideways, quickly grabbed the old man's head with one hand, pressed it against the flower wall, and said coldly, "Eat."

Overwhelmed by the powerful pressure, Blood Rose dared not disobey.

He bared his fangs again, wanting to say something, but Lin Yan's appearance was too scary, so he had no choice but to swallow the old man into his stomach.

The white lantern fell to the ground, and with a clang, the night disappeared.

The lantern turned into a driftwood sign with two words scrawled on it: BROKEN.

Lin Yan pointed at the wooden sign and asked, "What is this?"

"Illusion...Illusion Key. With it, you won't be affected by illusions."

Lin Yan picked up the driftwood sign, glanced at it, and asked, "Is it a spiritual weapon?"

Blood Rose shook her head and quickly explained, "No, generally, the skills of ten thousand year old wood demons can break illusions, so they are called illusion keys."

Lin Yan turned to look at Blood Rose, "What happened just now?"

"Young master, please spare our lives. We were forced to do this." The blood rose stretched out two leaves in surrender.

"Tell me something useful, and I'll consider whether to spare your lives."

"Yes, yes, yes." Blood Rose picked at the petals, "Originally, we and Mr. Chen lived here peacefully."

"Mr. Chen?"

Blood Rose weakly lowered her head and said, "The person you just asked us to eat."

Lin Yan: "I know him, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

You didn't even give me a chance to speak.

Xiaohua covered her mouth and cried.

Another flower popped up and continued, "Mr. Chen's wife passed away a few years ago. She loved us the most, so Mr. Chen has been raising us ever since."

"Until a man appeared. He turned Mr. Chen into a puppet and took our demon hearts. He made us work for him and would eat anyone who entered here."

Lin Yan asked indifferently: "Where is that man?"

"I don't know. He only showed up once, and I haven't seen him since."

As soon as the flower was finished speaking, Lin Yan cut it off without any hesitation and cut it very neatly.

!!!

Lin Yan said coldly: "Monster beasts are extremely sensitive to smells."

"That direction."

All the blood roses pointed in unison to one place, the manor behind the villa.

After confirming the location, a force of attribute flew out from Lin Yan's hand and headed straight for the roots of the blood rose.

"You damned human."

"I'm going to kill you and bury you with me."

Lin Yan turned around and left, ignoring the heart-wrenching screams. A moment later, the flowers fell from the wall.

"As expected, none of the human race is good. Madam is not bad, and Mr. Chen is not bad either."

Unlike Mr. Chen's villa, the gate of the manor is intact and there are signs of human life inside.

Qin Jialin's skills can see her every word and action. Just now, Qin Jialin told her.

The lady of that villa is a lunatic who loves to eat all kinds of flowers.

Roses have thorns, which always hurt his wife, so Mr. Chen planted a wall of them just to make rose flower meat slices for his wife.

But before the dish was ready, the lady died, bitten to death.

Half an hour later, Qin Jialin walked into the villa. He glanced at the wall, opened the door and went upstairs thoughtfully.

Room on the third floor.

Lin Yan stood at the window, opened the curtains a little, and stared at the scenery outside.

"This manor is very large. The main building is an ancient castle. There are monsters patrolling, so there should be a trainer."

Qin Jialin paused, "That must be... a spirit bond master or a summoner."

"Uh..." Lin Yan's expression changed slightly. He glanced around from time to time and said awkwardly, "Oh, can you tell what profession it is?"

Qin Jialin explained to himself, "Summoners use blood as a medium to contract with real monsters in reality through the contract space. Spiritual contract masters contract with monsters from other worlds. Monsters from other worlds often have strange appearances."

Lin Yan looked through the glass and saw a strange-looking bird flying in the manor, flying up and down with clumsy movements, and it had no claws or feathers.

It seemed that there was no need for comparison, she already had the answer, it must be a strange beast.

"Spiritual Contract Master."

"Well, the opponent's level is not high." Qin Jialin stood beside her and pointed to the ground.

A strange energy fluctuation.

Lin Yan stared at it for a while, her mind blank. She gave up thinking and asked, "What is that?"

"The range of a Spiritual Contract Master's domain is like a formation. The higher the level, the stronger the attribute power, and the larger the range and stronger the effect."

Her eyes focused and she roughly judged: "The range is only in this ancient castle. The distance is so small. It can be at most level 30. I will deal with it."

Qin Jialin nodded, "Leave the investigation to me. Come meet me after you're done."

Lin Yan left in a flash and used the displacement symbol to travel around the manor.

Qin Jialin was about to say something when the person was already on the other side. "You act as soon as you say so. You're really reliable."

The roof of the castle is covered with crimson tiles, and the windows are large and bright, inlaid with colored glass.

She stopped on the branch of a tree and looked at the strange beast in the sky.

Where will the spiritual master be?

It is easy to be discovered by using a tracking array to lock on.

Let’s go and have a look first.

Lin Yan looked inside the castle, found an empty room, and sneaked in.

Smelling a faint scent of turpentine mixed with paint, she looked around warily.

There is an unfinished painting on the easel, with bright colors.

The paintings on the walls of the room where I met Wei Xi were similar to the ones here.

These paintings are probably from the same person.

The scene in front of her changed, and the entire structure of the castle appeared in her vision.

Qin Jialin's skills?

correct.

You can find the Spiritual Contract Master through his skills.

Lin Yan was just thinking about it when Qin Jialin left her a message saying: Don’t do anything yet, come to this place to find me.

What is he doing?

Thanks to the internal structure of the castle, Lin Yan's movements were almost unimpeded.

"Master is not sitting at the door today. Let's go in and serve the food."

"Well, I hope they can get along well in the future, otherwise I really want to quit."

"I heard that he's no longer in a bad mood because he broke off the engagement for the young master."

"Breaking off the engagement has nothing to do with us. Hurry up and deliver the food and get off work."

Lin Yan frowned as he watched four women in maid uniforms walk over.

Breaking off an engagement? It doesn't sound like a word that goes well with the dark theme.

Blood Rose lied to me?

Lin Yan teleported to the room Qin Jialin mentioned, and was disgusted by the foul stench as soon as he arrived.

She couldn't help but cover her nose, "What's going on?"

"Come and look at this."

Qin Jialin stood in front of a huge water tank, where a huge creature was immersed in the green liquid.

Its skeleton is sinuous, its claws are sharp as blades, and its tail is long and powerful.

A dragon with an ancient and mysterious aura that inspires awe.

Lin Yan looked around, "That dark laboratory?"

"It's hard to say." Qin Jialin held up the research records. "Compared to the dark dragon, this one is even more terrifying."
