Chapter 739: Chapter 291 Chapter 291 Return, Settlement Rewards [10,000 Words]_2
But now that he knew Borrell was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Ancient Castle, he couldn’t just violate the rules at will.
"I’ve got it! Formalin, some organs inside the formalin are alive. If I take them all out and let them go, then catch them again, will that work?" Mumu Ya suddenly shouted excitedly.
"What are you waiting for, then? Go now," Mu Rufeng said in a stern voice.
Initially unsure, Mumu Ya, upon hearing Mu Rufeng’s words, became certain and quickly made his way to the third floor.
Ten minutes later, Mumu Ya successfully completed the fourth round of the death game.
At the same time, Mu Rufeng had him take a barrel of formalin into his Item Slot.
Meanwhile, the fifth floor also opened up for him.
"Mumu Ya, go back to your room and rest now. Remember the time. In twenty minutes, go and complete your extra task," Mu Rufeng told Mumu Ya.
"Yes, Mr. Sen," Mumu Ya nodded repeatedly.
Then Mu Rufeng headed to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor was the topmost floor. There were no stairs leading further up.
This floor was completely different from the floors below---it was vast and expansive and even featured a small tower-like space.
It also verified the layout of the Ancient Castle seen from the outside.
This floor had a room, which Mu Rufeng noted without surprise must be the Castle Owner’s room.
Besides that, all around were glass cabinets filled with a large number of strange and unusual creatures.
Mu Rufeng even saw a Mermaid among them.
He guessed that the specimens inside the glass cabinets were all exhibits, collected here by the castle’s original owner, Borrell.
It was clear that these were not Abnormalities, but rather various Beastmen and a few rare Exotic Beasts that had been modified.
As for the Mermaid, Mu Rufeng did not know whether it had been created through modification or caught from the real world.
That could be figured out later.
After walking around the area and examining each of the display cabinets, Mu Rufeng was about to enter the Castle Owner’s room.
Unfortunately, the door was locked and could not be opened, even with the set of keys he had, which wouldn’t unlock this particular door.
Mu Rufeng quickly came to terms with this; the keys, found in the housekeeper’s room, could open all the doors in the castle but definitely not the master’s room.
Mu Rufeng was not at all panicked. He simply virtualized and easily entered.
Mu Rufeng glanced around. It was similar in layout to the temporary housekeeper’s room.
However, it was more luxurious here with many more luxuries.
Additionally, Mu Rufeng saw the fifth fireplace in the study.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a very familiar object on the desk, the safe.
At this moment, the safe was already opened, and the heart inside had disappeared without a trace.
Mu Rufeng’s eyes narrowed slightly. Indeed, Borrell had been staying here all along.
But now that he could not see him, where had he gone?
Mu Rufeng’s gaze then abruptly shifted to the fireplace.
Without a word, he threw a million soul banknotes into it, immediately lighting the fireplace.
Then, Mu Rufeng quickly returned to the fourth floor’s storeroom, moved the miscellaneous items aside, and swiftly threw down another million to light this fireplace as well.
[Congratulations Dorgula Sen, you have successfully ignited five fireplaces, all the fireplaces in the castle are now lit, your clearance score has greatly increased]
[All the fireplaces in the castle are now lit, you are now the second owner of the castle, able to control the castle’s power]
Almost instantly, Mu Rufeng felt he had full control of the castle, and some information also appeared in his mind.
This castle turned out to be a Level 8 group power, and controlling it would grant the power of a Level 9 Ghost Emperor.
And those five fireplaces, once all lit, would allow the owner to regain control of the castle’s power.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng understood why Borrell had given Mitchell the order to find and kill the spy.
Because the spy was here to cause trouble, likely to make the soul banknotes in the fireplace burn out faster, possibly an order from the giant monster?
The tasks Borrell had assigned to Mumu Ya were also all beneficial to the Castle Owner.
Whether it was stealing keys or hearts, and even pouring formalin into the fireplace.
Because this formalin was special, high in formaldehyde content, it could certainly cause a massive combustion inside the fireplace.
Mu Rufeng guessed that these five fireplaces must be interconnected.
Could it be that a combustion in one fireplace could trigger a simultaneous burning in all five?
If so, could Borrell control all the power of the castle during this burning period?
Based on his current conjecture, Mu Rufeng leaned toward the idea that Borrell had been dismembered and was now collecting his various organs.
Thinking this, Mu Rufeng became even more certain.
Just then, a powerful force acted on Mu Rufeng; it was the power of the castle.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng instantly controlled the power, causing it to dissipate.
Soon, a shadow appeared in front of Mu Rufeng.
"You... you were just a temporary housekeeper, why... why can you also control the power of the castle?" The shadow, faced with Mu Rufeng, displayed utter disbelief.
