Then, there were the appalling human experiments.
Within just one year, more than a hundred villagers had been kidnapped, and only a dozen or so were still alive.
Those who survived had undergone significant transformations; they could no longer be called human.
Afterward, ordinary people were continually captured by Borrell and taken back to the ancient castle for experimentation.
Mu Rufeng watched these scenes unfold, his heart filled with mixed emotions, unsure of what to say.
Meanwhile, Mu Rufeng also learned from these memories about Borrell’s identity; he was a viscount from a certain region in England.
"England," Mu Rufeng muttered, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.
After he returned, he planned to visit that area and try to find information about the ancient castle. He also wanted to find Ye Lin to inquire whether there were any supernatural powers in the country before the emergence of the Abnormal instance.
Having gathered enough information, Mu Rufeng left the dream of the sculpted woman.
He then returned to his own body.
Mu Rufeng stood up from the chair, and the bubbles above the monsters’ heads in the sculpted woman’s dream also vanished.
Mu Rufeng looked at the time; it was half-past three in the morning.
Mu Rufeng walked to the window, which was still covered with white snow.
He placed his hand on the glass, and then, fire spread forth.
In the blink of an eye, the layer of snow melted, and Mu Rufeng could clearly see the outside scenery.
Gulas and the monsters were still attacking the protective barrier of the ancient castle.
Mu Rufeng shook his head slightly while watching the monsters and sighed inwardly.
They were all pitiful people.
The sculpted woman, Yanis, could be considered Gulas’s wife, no wonder he relentlessly attacked the barrier.
Anyone would be desperate if their wife was taken away.
"So, the master of the castle is Borrell, but where is he now?" Mu Rufeng pondered.
Suddenly, he remembered the heart in the safe; could that heart belong to Borrell?
If so, was Borrell hiding in an area of the castle that had not yet been opened?
"Let’s take it one step at a time," Mu Rufeng decided as he moved away from the window and stood before Yanis and the others.
He was now contemplating how to deal with these monsters.
Finally, Mu Rufeng decided to first lock them up in cages and complete the task.
Opening the ghostly realm, Mu Rufeng directly transferred all the monsters to the front of the cages.
At that moment, the black mist inside the cages began to dissipate, revealing their original forms.
Ordinary cells appeared; there were about thirty in total, each room had been modified to contain three cages, making thirty cages from ten rooms.
The cells were empty except for the floors and walls covered in scratch and bite marks and the iron bar doors.
Mu Rufeng checked the monsters’ identification numbers one by one.
Among these monsters, there were five Level 7 and five Level 8 monsters.
The Level 7 monsters generally had higher numbers, like the werewolf, whose experiment number was 33.
The highest number reached 76.
With only thirty rooms in all, it was impossible to match every number correctly.
Thinking it over, Mu Rufeng first led Yanis, numbered 15, to cage number fifteen.
He took out a large bunch of keys and easily found the corresponding key, opened the cage effortlessly, and threw Yanis inside.
[Successful capture of subject number 15, mission rating increased]
A prompt appeared in Mu Rufeng’s mind.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng sequentially placed the other four Level 8 monsters into cages within thirty, receiving the same prompt each time.
Then, Mu Rufeng carefully examined the collars around the necks of the five Level 7 monsters.
The collars also had numbers engraved on them, but they were different from those on their foreheads, all within thirty.
The number on the werewolf’s collar was 19; Mu Rufeng immediately went to cage 19, opened it with the key, and threw the werewolf inside.
At once, the same prompt appeared in his mind.
Mu Rufeng smiled slightly, then following the numbers on their collars, locked them up in their corresponding cages.
"Alright, let’s go, haven’t you had enough yet?" Mu Rufeng said to the bandage that was still clinging to Yanis.
At his words, the bandage sucked in a deep breath and then swiftly detached from Yanis, wrapping around Mu Rufeng again.
Then, Mu Rufeng went to the laboratory, called for Ma Qiu, and then returned to the butler’s room on the second floor.
First, he checked the soul banknotes in the fireplace and found them still plentiful, so he let Ma Qiu keep an eye on them.
He then started practicing the Fierce Tiger Power on a patch of empty ground nearby.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
At seven in the morning, Mu Rufeng finished his training.
At the moment, he felt unbearably hot and was even emitting white steam all over.
This was due to the extreme internal temperatures caused by practicing the Fierce Tiger Power.
Mu Rufeng took a quick shower, which refreshed him significantly.
Having trained for quite a while, he was starting to feel hungry.
After breakfast, Mu Rufeng leisurely made his way to the great hall on the second floor before eight o’clock.
At this time, the twenty-five Contractors had already gathered in the great hall.
The hall was very dark, but as Mu Rufeng arrived, the chandelier above slowly lit up.
