I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game

Chapter 339-2: Young Girl Flanda (2)

The operation to capture the maid assassin alive had ended in failure, and the many guards had tragically perished in this battle.

Lin Xun figured Nightmare Yuri had probably finished the sacrificial ritual by now, so he left tool-man Kim behind and headed for the castle.

The Military Mole Cricket’s travel speed was extremely fast, but its appetite was also much larger than that of a Courier Mole Cricket. One ride required feeding it five stalks of Milk-Sap Matsutake or paying fifty thousand Spirit Essence.

This creature did not count as a mount but as a temporary means of transportation, usable only in this chapter. It was not a true mount like the Three-Headed Lion.

Therefore, each ride required paying the fare. The exploit of making the animal run without feeding it for free could not be realized yet.

“These Courier Mole Crickets are clearly standardized tuned creatures. I might get a chance to obtain one in the future. That should exempt me from paying fares…”

After returning to the castle, Lin Xun used the steward Shell again to enter the dungeon.

The dungeon was empty. Neither Nightmare Yuri nor the Extreme Evil Mutated Maggot-Person was anywhere to be seen.

He left the dungeon and was reminded by a maid in the first-floor hall that the master was waiting for him on the third floor and looked very angry…

[…][You clutch your bloody wounds and limp into the third-floor chambers.]

[Nightmare Yuri stands with its arms crossed, glaring at you with a harsh gaze…]

[Before it can speak, you shout loudly that while the master was conducting the sacrifi… ritual, an assassin attempted to ambush and kill him.]

[That person is definitely a spy planted by Flanda. You saw through the assassin’s trick at a glance and mobilized many guards to capture the assassin…]

[Now the assassin is surrounded by the guards at the Plaza Beneath the City, but the assassin is very powerful, and the guards cannot hold out for long. You beg the master to go with you to the Plaza Beneath the City and personally capture the assassin.]

[Otherwise, if it is revealed that the master secretly sought favor from the Wet Nurse behind Flanda’s back, then…]

[You originally thought Nightmare Yuri would be shocked and immediately follow you out of the castle to the Plaza Beneath the City.]

[Unexpectedly, Nightmare Yuri remains where it is, arms folded, staring at you coldly. There is mockery in its eyes.]

“Crap, this BOSS is not as easy to fool as the small fry.”

According to the intel Kim had overheard, ever since Nightmare Yuri took up residence in the castle, it had been able to tap into the power Belatu left behind here. Trying to kill the BOSS within the castle grounds was unrealistic.

His plan had been to once again use the trick of luring the tiger from the mountain, drawing the BOSS to the Plaza Beneath the City and then teaming up with Kim to kill Nightmare Yuri…

Who would have thought the BOSS would see through his scheme.

He prepared to switch Shells immediately and face it head-on. If he really could not win, he would use his cheat item.

Just as he was about to switch Shells, he saw a prompt in the hellish game…

[Nightmare Yuri suddenly speaks, the hoarse voice coming from behind the mask…]

[How long have you served by its side?]

[You freeze for a moment, then instinctively blurt out, according to the memories remaining in the Shell, twenty-three years.]

[Nightmare Yuri continues, saying that it did not expect even such a loyal servant who has served for so long to betray it…]

[So the spy Lord Flanda left beside it was no one else but you, the ever faithful steward.]

[Originally, when you suggested going to Tentacle City to complete the sacrifice, you were trying to buy time and find a chance to secretly report to Lord Flanda, correct?]

[Now that the plan has gone awry and it has unexpectedly managed to obtain the Sacrificial Emblem and begun the sacrifice, you realized you could not stall any longer.]

[So you drew away the guards to slip outside and inform Flanda…]

[Lord Flanda must already know of its secret sacrifice by now, must she not?]

[Very well. It can only blame itself for being blind and not seeing through you earlier…]

[Nightmare Yuri takes out a broken mask missing its lower half and tosses it to you.]

[You have obtained the Broken Mask of the Guardian of the Divine Kingdom (Legendary+ Equipment)!]

[The hoarse voice continues, now drenched in deep weariness…]

[It knows that even if it uses the power Belatu left behind, it is still absolutely no match for Lord Flanda.]

[It concedes defeat and asks you to present the favor bestowed by the Wet Nurse to Lord Flanda.]

[It hopes the Lord will forgive its momentary greed and confusion. Nightmare Yuri is still a loyal slave under the Lord’s command…]

[As it speaks, Nightmare Yuri places its right hand over its chest and kneels on one knee in a gesture of loyalty…]

Lin Xun was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of god-tier development was this?

This sudden plot twist completely ruined his entire plan.

Nightmare Yuri had mistaken the steward, whose actions no longer fit common sense, for a spy planted at its side by Flanda and had voluntarily surrendered and handed over the favor.

[Just as you are about to help Nightmare Yuri up, the half-closed door suddenly swings open…]

[You whirl around to see a beautiful young girl stepping lightly inside.]

[The girl’s face is stunningly beautiful. A veil thin as silkworm silk cannot conceal her full and enchanting figure at all. She moves like a swaying and blooming flower, and the scenery beneath her skirt appears and disappears.]

[The girl shows not the slightest trace of an Ascended, and seems to be a purely human girl.]

[Looking at her alluring figure, you feel no stir of desire at all. Instead, a genuine fear rises in your heart.]

[The chill that rises from the soles of your feet to the top of your skull makes you tremble uncontrollably.]

[You have seen that familiar, peerlessly beautiful face many times. She is none other than Flanda.]

[And Flanda’s gaze is also fixed on you, her eyes filled with an inscrutable smile.]

[You finally realize that it is not you Nightmare Yuri is kneeling to, but the Wet Nurse’s youngest and most beloved daughter, Flanda.]

“What the hell, I am done for.”

“This woman is going to tear off the mask and confront me.”

No wonder Nightmare Yuri had suddenly admitted defeat. It had realized that Flanda herself was in the castle and knew there was no way out…

Nightmare Yuri might be able to survive this, but what about him?

Lin Xun suddenly recalled how he had once observed whether Flanda had ever left the Ancient Nest.

At that time, he had not seen any sign that Flanda had left.

And his respawn point was still set in the Ancient Nest. If he were killed by Flanda here…

Then after resurrecting, would Flanda’s half-human, half-insect true body still be above his respawn point, or was that not a true body but some kind of avatar?

If the answer was yes, the consequences would be unthinkable.
