"You seem to know the Devil's Castle very well." He stated his conclusion coolly. Rather than wandering around alone and risking death, it would be more efficient to follow Wu Shuang, which was the best option. If he were anywhere else, he wouldn't follow a woman, but here in the Devil's Castle where many had met their end, before achieving his goal, there was no way he would throw away this worthless life.

"Knowing your way around doesn't necessarily mean I'm willing to take you with me," Wu Shuang said coldly, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Ghost Face. "There are many people who repay kindness with malice. Why should I bring you into the secret room If you were to have evil intentions and try to kill me, wouldn't it be a hassle for me to deal with the Devil's Castle's traps while also watching out for you Maybe you would stab me in the back. So, Ghost Face, forget about going together; let's each go our own way."

Ghost Face gave a cold laugh and stared at Wu Shuang with merciless eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I believe you don't want anything bad to happen to me either. It wouldn’t be beneficial for you if something happened to me. The security here isn't like the third-rate places we usually go to; many of them are retired agents and assassins who are far from ordinary. Even if you're brave enough, when you were exploring the Devil's Castle, did you ask about these people Do you think you could handle them alone"

"So what if I can or can’t That’s my own business. It was supposed to be just me stealing; meeting you was a coincidence. If it were up to me, I’d find it easier to work alone. To put it bluntly, Ghost Face, I don't want you to drag me down."

As the number one international assassin under Ghost Face, she showed such disrespect towards her predecessor that anyone who heard about this would think Wu Shuang was arrogant and impolite. She indeed had an air of arrogance, but Ghost Face didn’t get angry.

Truly worthy to be Ye Wei's daughter; her aura is just like it used to be when she was younger.

The daughter of Ye Wei and Mo Jue truly surpasses the previous generation.

Dare to speak to him like that.

What she said was partly true. It’s easier for one person to dodge and handle situations, and it’s also easier for one person to leave if something goes wrong. If there were another person around, it would add an extra layer of risk.

Having more people doesn’t mean things will always be better or safer.

For explorations like this, having too many people can actually get in the way.

If he was discovered, she wouldn’t escape either. If he triggered a mechanism, it would affect her as well.

Wu Shuang’s concerns were quite common. Ghost Mask couldn’t refute them; instead, he smiled faintly and said, “Rest assured, I won’t drag you down with me. In fact, just make sure not to drag me along.”

She chuckled lightly, her easygoing demeanor revealing an air of dominance. Her eyebrows were like winter wind and snow, cold and sharp, making people feel a chill. Suddenly, she found herself liking Ghost Mask’s personality. If he had threatened her by saying that if she didn’t take him along, he would cause a commotion to end up with everyone dying together, she might have brought him in and then taken advantage of the situation to deal with him once and for all.

She hated it most when others tried to threaten or blackmail her. She also wouldn’t tolerate having an unpredictable risk like that around.

The Masked Ghost didn't say that; instead, he mocked her for not wanting to drag him into trouble.

This kind of arrogance she liked.

"Alright, I'll take you!" Without hesitation, Wu Shuang said, "But there are conditions. First, what do you want to steal in there If it's the same as mine, then you must let me have priority. Second, you must follow my instructions."

The Masked Ghost paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes, seemingly reluctant to say more. Wu Shuang didn't push him; she had plenty of time for him to think about it. If he couldn't accept these two conditions, there was no point in wasting her time.

"My ex-girlfriend wanted the 'Wu Shuang' from Iran's queen consort. Later I found out that the 'Wu Shuang' is stored in Devil’s Castle, so I decided to take a chance and see if what you want isn’t the same as mine," The Masked Ghost said solemnly. He was rather afraid Wu Shuang would be after the same thing he wanted, because she already had his name and the necklace of Iran's queen consort; he couldn't guess what could make her willing to risk everything.

Wu Shuang arched an eyebrow with a smile, "Congratulations, our targets aren’t the same. This is my first time hearing about 'Wu Shuang'." If she had heard about it earlier, perhaps she might have been interested too; but mostly, her interest in jewelry wasn't great and she didn't pay much attention to such things.

The Masked Ghost hummed in agreement, "The second condition is fine with me."

Everything settled, Wu Shuang was quick. She took out a remote control from her bag, pursing her lips. "You will have five minutes once we start. The door to this secret room is just an illusion; after you enter, turn left and there will be a small goddess statue on your right-hand side. Turn the statue to the left."

"Good!" Without asking why, Wu Shuang nodded and pressed the remote control to cut off the power supply of the Devil's Castle. The secret room had a stone door with some bas-reliefs on it; these carvings were uneven and seemed to form certain patterns. There was a long row of English letters in the middle. After cutting off the power, Wu Shuang took out her voice recorder.

"Harley Kane." As soon as the voice recorder played the words, the stone door opened. Wu Shuang quickly turned around and said, "Go in."

Her hand was pressed on a palm print on the secret room's door, unable to be removed. Ghost Face quickly entered through the stone door, which then swiftly closed. Frowning, Ghost Face understood what had happened; he chose to follow Wu Shuang’s advice and turned the small statue.

Wu Shuang released her hand and rapidly entered the stone door.

The moment the stone door shut, the corridor lights flickered on.

This was a specially designed stone door that only allowed one person to pass through at a time. If a second person tried to enter simultaneously, they would be sliced in half by magnetic wave beams—an outcome documented after Sea Blue's experiment, during which she described feeling terrified when her soul had been split in two.

The voice recorder’s activation sequence was not for the Duke but his son, Harley Kane. This explained why so many people trying to enter the Devil's Castle were rejected—they didn't realize that it wasn’t the Duke who could activate the stone door, but someone else.

That palm print was imprinted with the Duke’s fingerprint; Wu Shuang had affixed a thin layer of fake human skin onto her hand, mimicking not hers but the Duke's fingerprints. The design of this stone door was ingeniously crafted. After Ghost Face entered and learned its mechanism, he understood that if he hadn't turned the small statue, Wu Shuang wouldn’t have been able to enter because within 24 hours, the voice recognition program would not identify anyone else. In other words, only the Duke had ever entered this castle’s secret room before, with the main switch located inside.adn't turned off.
