Wu Shuang narrowed her eyes coldly. Regret The Ghost Mask knew better than anyone else how lonely and helpless it felt to have no opponent. Regret How could that be, she had never done anything in this life that made her regret.

This kind of evenly matched competition, as long as one is capable, they wouldn't feel any regrets.

She even started looking forward to this day.

The Ghost Mask and Wu Shuang parted ways at the garage. Neither knew what the other was doing in Devil's Castle. But there was one thing clear, their target was both the secret room on the sixth floor. The Ghost Mask went first...

Wu Shuang was bold yet meticulous, always having a well-thought-out plan when it came to doing things. This time of stealing treasures was no exception.

Because she knew the villa's blueprint and mechanism diagram, Wu Shuang easily avoided the mechanisms and surveillance cameras, climbing up along the elevator frame. She slightly regretted not walking with the Ghost Mask, not because they needed each other for support.

Now that she was in Devil's Castle as well, so was the Ghost Mask. If he shot himself dead, it would be over once and for all; but if he were caught, it might牽累her instead.

She knew the map and how to get up there, with her leading the way, it wouldn't be easy for others to discover them. And given their abilities, cooperation was more advantageous than confrontation. At least tonight, they should cooperate.

Sure enough, she noticed some dirt marks on the shelf in the elevator and realized that Ghost Mask had climbed up using it. Just as Wu Shuang was approaching the fifth floor, the elevator below suddenly started moving again. It kept rising, causing Wu Shuang to be extremely alarmed. The friction between the elevator and the steel cable produced sparks; the dark space reflected Wu Shuang's slightly changed expression. The speed of the elevator increased rapidly, getting closer and closer, with the sound of the brakes and cables rubbing together sounding like a unique form of torture, terrifying everyone.

Looking at it from this perspective, the elevator was about to crash into Wu Shuang on the sixth floor. She had already prepared herself to damage the brakes in order to stop the elevator from moving upwards further. However, after reaching the fourth floor, the speed of the elevator gradually slowed down, and Wu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately!

The Devil's Castle only had one elevator, and there was no extra space inside where anyone could hide. If it continued to rise at full speed, Wu Shuang would definitely be in danger; her only option would have been to damage the elevator brakes.

This was also the worst-case scenario: once the elevator brake system was damaged, even if someone came to fix it in the middle of the night, which might happen, and that person turned out to be a security guard from the castle, things could become very problematic indeed.

Therefore, Wu Shuang would not damage the elevator brakes until absolutely necessary.

Luckily, the elevator stopped at the fifth floor.

The fifth floor housed both the information room and monitoring center. On the fourth floor resided several guards to deal with any emergencies. The elevator slowly descended, and Wu Shuang pried open a small gap in the elevator door. She took out something resembling a chip from her small handbag, pressing it tightly against the outside of the elevator door. This was a video interference device.

This seemingly inconspicuous little object had been specially researched and made by Mo Jue for Ye Wei and Wu Shuang since they enjoyed exploring and didn't want to listen when he asked them to stay at home. By using this interference device, they could avoid being monitored by surveillance cameras during their adventures.

There was only one way out from the elevator, or else another hole would need to be opened above it in order to directly reach a secret chamber. However, doing so would have been too dangerous: once such an opening was made into the hidden chamber, its gravitational sensors would activate immediately; Wu Shuang wouldn't do this before setting off any traps within.

After pasting the jammer, Wu Shuang pried open the elevator door and quickly slipped out. There were eight surveillance cameras rotating in the hallway; she darted through it to avoid being caught by them. Since each jammer has a time limit, she decided how long they would be effective based on her own situation. The jammer she just pasted only worked for five minutes, so from prying open the elevator door until she darted through the hallway, she had exactly five minutes.

The surveillance room on the fifth floor showed static and a white screen, making it impossible to see anything. One of them asked sensitively, "What’s going on"

A technician checked the signal and connection of the cameras, frowned in confusion, then suddenly said calmly, “The wires are loose.”

“Fix it immediately.”

He called the surveillance room on the first floor to ask about their situation; they reported everything was normal. Nobody had entered, and there were no abnormalities in the footage. In less than five minutes, the wire ends were secured. The picture wasn’t clear but slightly blurry movements could be seen. After another minute, it returned to normal. This surveillance room monitored floors one through six; the information officer began switching and checking from floor six down, searching layer by layer without finding any suspicious signs.

Eight people were in the surveillance room—some chatting while others worked. One of them said, “It’s really strange tonight: first someone came to steal things, then there was an issue with the monitoring footage. Could it be that somebody managed to get inside”

Someone laughed and replied, "Who could possibly do that Anyone who comes in ends up lying on the floor outside. Getting into the lobby of the first floor would already be amazing; at most, someone might make it to the third floor. Nobody has reached the fifth floor."

"That’s true."

“These people are truly fearless, actually coming here to steal from Devil’s Castle. They’re just asking for death.”

"Haha, Duke is really impressive. I wonder where he found the designer; this castle is as solid as gold, and no one can break in."

...

Wu Shuang had already reached the secret room's entrance. She was familiar with all of the castle's mechanisms and knew how to avoid them from bottom to top, but she couldn't bypass the sixth-floor mechanism. She could only pull the master switch for the mechanisms, yet pulling it would alert others.

The sixth floor had no guards, and the surveillance camera at the secret room entrance was moving around. Standing in a blind spot, Wu Shuang pondered how to enter when she suddenly heard a faint sound. Her body tensed up instantly as she quickly turned her head; all she saw was a black figure dashing toward her.

It was Ghost Face...

Wu Shuang thought that Ghost Face had already come before her, but unexpectedly... he was actually behind her. Then whose traces were left in the elevator They appeared to have been left very recently.

The two stared at each other for a moment; the atmosphere around them became tense. There were only two blind spots near the secret room entrance. Each of them occupied one side, and Wu Shuang asked, "Didn't you come before me"

"Later I realized that I had forgotten something, so I went back down," Ghost Face replied coldly, his voice devoid of warmth. He looked at the door to the secret room and asked, "Do you have a way in"

Wu Shuang smiled faintly without responding. She glanced at her watch, "I have until tomorrow evening, no rush."ious tussle and noisy behavior had already drawn suspicion from passersby; now with Mo Chen shouting like this, everyone was pointing fingers and gossiping. Gu Baobao had been avoiding public attentio...
