It was truly terrifying.
Borrell did not even acknowledge Sister Si as a Level 4 Contract Demon. Instead, he said to Mu Rufeng, "I agree. The technology will be yours, but you must give me all of my limbs back, including the heart, and you cannot take the soul banknotes from the fireplace."
Borrell still compromised.
"Good, that’s right. We have no conflicts of interest. Cooperation is the foundation of a win-win situation." There was a smile on Mu Rufeng’s face.
It was just a few hundred million soul banknotes after all. He had plenty of money.
"First, show me my heart, limbs, brain, eyes." Borrell demanded.
Upon hearing that, Mu Rufeng thought for a moment, and they all materialized before him.
Borrell saw his own body and was somewhat excited.
When he had woken up, the only place he could stay was his room on the fifth floor.
Besides that, he could only wander within the five fireplaces.
Thus, even if he knew where his limbs were, he just couldn’t go and get them, not even able to light the fireplace himself.
If he were to light one fireplace, he could move one meter from the fireplace; once all five were lit, he would be able to control the Ancient Castle’s power.
As for why those monsters didn’t come over to destroy the Ancient Castle, it was naturally because they were unable to destroy it.
Moreover, they couldn’t even enter it.
It was only in order to regain his strength that Borrell started issuing instructions to those Contractors.
As for the so-called invitation, he was the one who sent it out, but he waited for a full five years. Finally, a Contractor received that invitation.
Just, he really didn’t expect that this Contractor’s approach was so wild that he could have the same function and control the Ancient Castle’s power.
"Where’s the thing I want?" Mu Rufeng spoke up.
Quickly, Borrell waved his hand, and a metal filing cabinet appeared on the ground, inside which were a large number of paper documents.
A hundred years ago, there were no USB drives; everything was recorded on paper documents.
"Hm?" Mu Rufeng looked at the file cabinet with furrowed brows.
"This file cabinet contains the information you need," Borrell said.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Mm," Borrell hummed softly in response.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng stepped forward and touched the filing cabinet.
[Borrell’s Precious File Cabinet]: Inside was Borrell’s life’s work, which he valued incomparably and contained records of all his research technology.
Attributes don’t lie; that was the truth.
"This is yours now," Mu Rufeng gestured, giving all the body organs to Borrell.
Then Mu Rufeng directly placed the filing cabinet in his Item Slot.
"What are you still doing here? Go complete your task and then wait on the fifth floor for the last round of the death game," Mu Rufeng said, looking towards Mumu Ya, who was completely afraid to move.
"Yes... yes, Steward Sen," Mumu Ya replied, glanced at Borrell, and immediately lowered his head and walked towards the door.
And Sister Si, also afraid to move the entire time, breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to her Contract Slot right away.
She wasn’t coming out again; she would rather die than come out in this instance.
"My lord Viscount, I shall not disturb you any longer," Mu Rufeng said, having gotten what he wanted, and prepared to go to the fifth floor.
"Wait a moment, could you release those experimental subjects you’ve captured?" Borrell suddenly said.
"Release them? Why?" Mu Rufeng looked at Borrell in surprise.
After all, capturing those things would allow him to get a passing grade.
"The fuel in the fireplaces is limited, and your arrival let them know I’m still alive. I don’t want to have to fight those experimental subjects again," Borrell explained.
"Alright," Mu Rufeng nodded, not refusing.
Instantly, Mu Rufeng teleported and appeared in front of the third floor’s cells.
Mu Rufeng opened the cell doors one by one.
The monsters, who were trembling before, sprang into action as soon as they saw the cell doors open, charging directly at Mu Rufeng.
Bolts of lightning struck down, and, immediately, they frothed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.
Then Mu Rufeng used his ghostly powers to transport them all to the courtyard of the Ancient Castle.
Two vines emerged from the soil and slowly opened the gate.
Afterward, Mu Rufeng dragged all the monsters onto the snow outside.
"Go," Mu Rufeng said to the group of monsters.
Mu Rufeng hadn’t been particularly harsh with the lightning this time; their Constitution allowed them to recover quickly.
Seeing themselves outside the Ancient Castle, they were extremely delighted.
The sculpture-like woman opened her wings and shot into the sky.
A piercing screech rose, as if she was declaring her regained freedom.
The rest of the monsters scampered away.
The ground up ahead, however, was ruptured and pockmarked with many large holes, now covered by heavy snow and mistaken for level ground.
One by one, the monsters fell into these large holes and were covered by snow.
They quickly jumped out and soon disappeared into the snowstorm.
The sculpture-like woman, however, did not leave immediately. Instead, she circled above the Ancient Castle a few times, glanced at Mu Rufeng twice, and then departed.
Truth be told, Mu Rufeng wasn’t too concerned about the rating for passing the instance.
Moreover, he actually felt sympathy for Gulas, the giant monster, and the sculpture-like woman; it was quite good that he could let them go.
And Borrell knew that if he didn’t let the sculpture-like woman go, Gulas would definitely come and smash the place up all night long.
