Chapter 1900: Chapter 843: The Phone Call That Crosses Time and Space!
The study was extremely quiet, with a thick Persian carpet laid out on the floor. Lin Baici stepped on it without making a sound.
He dug his fingers into the crack.
“Could this be where you insert the coins?”
Lin Baici slowly turned the dial, and after three rotations, a polite voice suddenly came through the phone.
“Please insert coins to use!”
“What coins? Money?”
Lin Baici immediately asked.
“Please insert coins to use!”
The other party did not answer. After repeating this sentence three times, the phone hung up.
Lin Baici immediately began searching the room, rummaging through everything to find coins from this era.
He didn’t even know how many would be needed?
After searching around, he turned over all the cabinets but didn’t see a single copper plate. There was no choice but to move to the next room.
There was no one visible in this ancient castle; otherwise, he could have just taken it directly.
[The only inhabitants in the castle are ghosts. You have to drink the enchanted water to see and interact with them!]
Eater God commented.
“I see!”
Lin Baici’s thoughts immediately began to scatter: “So, that little girl who loves to play chess is actually a ghost?”
Such an obvious and boring question, Eater God didn’t bother to answer.
“Where can I get the enchanted water?”
Lin Baici asked while already running downstairs.
Most likely, it would require finding a well.
Three minutes later, Lin Baici reached the first floor and found a large door, but it was locked. He couldn’t get out, so he broke open a room’s door to see if he could climb out of the window.
Turns out, he could!
Just as Lin Baici was about to climb out, Eater God spoke up.
[The main kitchen on the first floor has the enchanted water!]
“Next time, can you speak sooner?”
Lin Baici immediately went searching for the kitchen.
Because this place served food for the entire castle’s servants, it was quite large. Lin Baici found it without much effort.
In the kitchen, there was a row of water jars along the eastern wall, with more than half filled with water.
Lin Baici was very cautious. After observing from outside the kitchen, he didn’t take action immediately but left, climbing out of the castle through the same window from the previous room.
This must be the backyard; a short distance away were several rows of drying racks.
Lin Baici quietly passed by and found a few sets of servant clothes that fit him, then sneaked back into the castle.
He changed into the clothes, took a bottle, sneaked into the kitchen, and filled it with water before quickly leaving.
However, as soon as he walked out of the kitchen, the water in the bottle disappeared into thin air.
‘This stuff can’t be taken out of the kitchen?’
Lin Baici frowned and tried again, with the same result.
No choice,
he could only drink it in the kitchen.
Now, two options presented themselves: first, fill the bottle and drink at the kitchen door; second, find a hidden corner to drink the water.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Baici chose the second option.
Although with the first option, he could run immediately after drinking, the chances of being caught were too high, making it hard to get away.
Lin Baici acted immediately.
He chose to hide behind the large garbage bin and then drank the water.
Gulp! Gulp!
He drank a third of the bottle in one go.
Lin Baici knelt on one knee on the ground, and just as he was anxiously wondering if it had worked, a severe pain suddenly erupted in his stomach.
It felt like someone was pulling his intestines out and excessively squeezing everything out of them.
Lin Baici was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, this process was short, lasting only about ten seconds, before the pain subsided. Then, Lin Baici’s vision filled with people, most being women dressed in servant uniforms.
Some were peeling potatoes, some roasting meat, and others washing dishes…
“How do I get out?”
Lin Baici was wearing a servant’s outfit, but there were seven or eight people in the kitchen, and Lin Baici was too tall and conspicuous. Those natives would definitely spot him.
“Might as well go all the way and eliminate them, besides, I need coins anyway!”
Lin Baici gritted his teeth, his killing intent erupted!
As long as he wiped out the enemies without being discovered, it would be considered a successful infiltration.
Thinking was followed by action, Lin Baici activated Performance Master and imitated the sound of a mouse.
Squeak! Squeak!
The servants heard the mouse noises and immediately dropped what they were doing, grabbed sticks and brooms, and headed towards the source of the sound.
Then Lin Baici was discovered.
No choice,
unless they were blind, they couldn’t have missed seeing him.
Two of the servants immediately ran out, intending to find security, but they didn’t have the chance anymore.
Lin Baici had already activated Floating Night Rain and Wild Buddha blowing a lamp, igniting the fire of their souls.
Just as the two maids reached the door, the Great Buddha bent over and blew out the lamps.
Woo!
A gentle breeze swept through, extinguishing the flames above the maids’ heads, and they immediately collapsed straight to the ground, dying on the spot.
Lin Baici rushed to the door, grabbed the ankles of two maids, and dragged them back.
Next was closing the door and searching the bodies.
Lin Baici found more than twenty dirty coins, big and small, but they didn’t look valuable.
After looting, Lin Baici took out a Pine Wood Torch and set the corpses on fire.
It must be said, this taboo item was simply the ultimate tool for destroying evidence.
The burning corpses were reduced to ashes within seconds.
Lin Baici finished cleaning up and returned upstairs, but this time it was more difficult.
Since he had drunk the enchanted water, he was no longer in a ghost state. The servants and security in the castle could see him, so he activated Cat Step Light Charm, trying not to make any sound, resembling a solitary phantom thief sneaking back cautiously.
Once back in the study, Lin Baici rushed to the phone, picked up the receiver, inserted a few of the largest coins, and turned the dial.
