After slaughtering the knight, Lou Sha listened carefully for any sounds outside and only relaxed slightly when she was sure there was nothing else.
"You rest and catch your breath. I’ll look around," Tianmiao said, letting Lou Sha sit down to regain her strength.
Lou Sha nodded and sat down as instructed, resting against the wall.
After a long time, there were still no sounds outside, and both of them had mostly recovered their strength.
Tianmiao took the opportunity to look around. The room had three large doors, and the entire building was like a giant maze, seemingly open and accessible, yet full of hidden dangers.
"Let’s try to find some water or wine; I feel like I’m dying of thirst," Lou Sha said, standing up.
Tianmiao nodded. She understood that under such extreme circumstances, Lou Sha was highly tense mentally, and all the running had drained her physically. Her body was already showing signs of fatigue.
Lou Sha and Tianmiao walked up to one of the large doors and paused for a moment. Lou Sha said, "Let’s try our luck with this door." Tianmiao responded with a word of agreement.
Then Lou Sha reached out and pulled the door open, and the moment she did, three girls who were just about to push the door appeared before them. The sudden encounter was shocking, and there was only one result: a chorus of screams.
For a brief moment, Tianmiao felt her eardrums were about to be pierced by the screams and quickly raised her hand to cover her ears.
"OH! Fuck! My ears are going to be deafened by you!" Lou Sha couldn’t help but burst out with a curse.
However, the three girls seemed even more frightened; one rolled her eyes and fainted, while the other two had wounds all over their bodies, with one clutching a leather bag tightly.
Seeing Lou Sha and Tianmiao, the two girls retreated cautiously, dragging the unconscious girl into the room.
Lou Sha glanced at them and said coldly, "I’m just looking for some water, I’m about to die of thirst. I’m not interested in taking your lives. I advise you not to have such thoughts either. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire for you."
"Close the door first," one of the girls said upon hearing Lou Sha’s words, her expression seeming to relax slightly, "We have no ill intentions either. We just want to escape this damn place."
"You mentioned you wanted to find water?" the other girl asked quietly.
"Yes," Lou Sha nodded.
"We can give you water, but first, take a look at this. I think there’s something strange about this castle, and there might be clues in this book. I think we can cooperate to leave this damn place together. What do you think?" one girl said, her tone growing increasingly indignant, "We can form an alliance first, deal with those cruel knights, and we even want to kill Duke Andophin, that deranged woman."
"This book seems to have recorded some clues that might help us escape from here, take a look," another girl said, handing over a book.
"What’s this?" Lou Sha took the book and started looking at it with Tianmiao.
"Found on a dead girl," the girl said.
Lou Sha flipped through a few pages, but the book had been completely soaked with blood, making the text illegible.
"Hmm?" Tianmiao slowly uttered one word, full of meaning.
Lou Sha looked up at Tianmiao, exchanged glances, and closed the book. Her mind suddenly became as clear as snow.
