Rudinand Castle is located in a vast grassland, it is almost uninhabited for more than ten kilometers nearby, and the town of Carlos, where Zhang Yunfan temporarily lives, is twelve kilometers away from the castle.

The townspeople say that the castle is empty, but in fact it is an exaggeration, but there are still a lot of people in the castle, but they usually only move out at night!

Zhang Yunfan rented a car in the town and made two turns from the road only more than 800 meters away from the castle every day to observe the situation inside.

At night, he simply parked his car in a meadow two kilometers away from the castle and walked close to the castle.

When Zhang Yunfan was closest to the castle, he was only a few dozen meters away.

The castle is very high, more than thirty meters long, and it looks like it has three floors from the outside, and the color on the outside is very dull, and there is no difference in the others.

It's just that Zhang Yunfan has been differentiating one thing, according to Ke Xinyi, at the beginning, the eight hundred of them were divided into four ways and launched an attack on the castle from four directions, but in the end they were intercepted from behind!

At the beginning, Zhang Yunfan only heard about it, but he hadn't seen it on the spot, so he couldn't understand it.

But this time, when he looked at it on the spot, he quickly discovered the problem.

There were only a few scattered plants around this castle, except for these, it was almost an endless grassland, if the people of Xuanmen wanted to attack at that time, according to their caution, they should have explored everything around, so there were puppets lurking around as Ke Xinyi said, so how could they not find out?

Ke Xinyi can lie? Zhang Yunfan felt unlikely.

So what is the reason? Could it be that those puppets fell from the sky?

This question has been bothering Zhang Yunfan for a long time, until one night, he came to the vicinity of the castle as expected......

At first, there was no abnormal situation, Zhang Yunfan once again suppressed his urge to climb over the wall and enter the castle, and prepared to leave.

He knew very well that since this was the headquarters of the Rudinand family, he would inevitably guard it strictly and enter it rashly, and the result would definitely be very sad!

But the abnormality of the situation happened when Zhang Yunfan was about to leave.

After Zhang Yunfan broke through the quenching realm, the sensitivity of his senses reached a superhuman level.

Even in the dark room where he couldn't see his fingers, he could read the words on the face of a cigarette box.

So the person who followed him about a kilometer away may have felt that he was well hidden, or he was contemptuous of Zhang Yunfan, but he was discovered by Zhang Yunfan.

"Good fellow, I just wanted to have a tongue but didn't, and someone sent me to the door!" Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but secretly rejoice, so he pretended to be casual and let that person follow him.

Zhang Yunfan walked a long way, he parked the car under a few trees two kilometers away from the castle, after Zhang Yunfan approached the tree, he did not walk directly to the car, but quickly flashed to a place more than a hundred meters away from here.

Zhang Yunfan's speed is so fast that few people can see him clearly even during the day, let alone in this dark night!

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yunfan saw the cautious figure approaching his car!

That person's stature is not high, at most one meter and early six, but his movements look very sharp.

After this person circled around the car, he probably also wondered why he had disappeared when he saw Zhang Yunfan coming.

But after repeated observation, I didn't find anything, and I was about to go back, but as soon as I turned around, I suddenly felt a pain in my face, and then the whole person fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but the man woke up, his face was burning and painful, and he could clearly feel the swelling of his face.

He reached out to touch his face, but found that his hands and feet were tied behind his back, and his whole body was tied to a chair.

With a click, a light with abnormally closed eyes shone in front of his eyes, and the man quickly narrowed his eyes.

"Can you understand me?" Zhang Yunfan moved his hand away from the lamp and looked at the yellow-skinned man in front of him whose face was swollen from being beaten by himself, "It's Chinese?" ”

The man nodded, but he didn't dare to look up, for fear of the direct light, and even more afraid of seeing Zhang Yunfan's face.

He knows very well the consequences of seeing the other party's face clearly in this situation, this is definitely not an apocryphal, if he is unfortunate enough to see the other party, maybe he will be killed!

"Yes......" the man said in Chinese, "It's Chinese, what do you want?" ”

This person's tone is not a trace of backbone, soft and stompy, but he is quite smart, he does not mean to pretend to be garlic, so he does not directly recruit everything, obviously he knows that it is very important to find out what the other party thinks at this time.

Zhang Yunfan locked this person in his bedroom, tightened the curtains, and specially turned off all the lights, leaving only this beam of light shining on the other party's face.

"Who are you from the Rudinand family?" Zhang Yunfan asked, "Identity, status, let's make it clear!" ”

"Little minions......" As soon as the man said a word, he received a slap.

"What are you hitting me for?" The other party sighed.

"You'll have one more chance, but I'm not sure you'll catch that slap!" Zhang Yunfan warned gloomily, "Say, your identity!" ”

"Castle Guard! Take charge of the puppets......" the man said in dismay.

"How many?" Zhang Yunfan asked.

"Thirty ......" that man.

"Where's Archduke Rudinand? What is the interior of the castle like! Zhang Yunfan asked one after another, "What does a puppet look like?" What kind of abilities do you have......

The man hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to answer honestly.

"The Grand Duke is in the castle, but not on the ground, there are 10,000 square meters of underground space under the castle, and the Grand Duke is generally there! In addition, the castle also has 3,000 puppet legions, and some were lost during a Xuanmen attack, but there are still less than 2,000. ”

Zhang Yunfan nodded, walked behind this man and untied his hands, and threw a pen to him by the way: "Draw me the internal structure of the castle, and let me ask you, what are you monsters?"

Anyway, he had already said it, and the man simply drew it on a piece of paper in front of him, and then said: "Those are called giant puppets, they are some mutated species, in short, their combat power and damage resistance are terrifyingly strong......

Zhang Yunfan also knew a rough idea of this Rudinand Castle from the mouth of this tongue, and also threatened that he would send someone to sneak in, and if it didn't match what he said, he would decisively kill him!

Probably because of this sentence, the man then drew a few more strokes.

And with this person's story, Zhang Yunfan finally understood one thing, that is, why Ke Xinyi said that those puppets would suddenly appear.

In fact, the reason is very simple, Rudinand Castle looks like an old castle on the outside, but in fact, it has a lot of space underground, even reaching as many as three floors.

And the reason why the Xuanmen was ambushed and unprepared at that time was because they were discovered at the beginning, and there was a passage under the castle to the outside, and in the end, those puppet legions killed everyone in this way.

After figuring out all this, Zhang Yunfan had a bold idea.

Based on the man's map, he prepared to sneak into the castle through a secret entrance.

If he didn't figure out the exact environment, Zhang Yunfan wouldn't do it easily, and this time he wanted to sneak in to lay the weight for his final success.

Zhang Yunfan did not rush to deal with the man, but just imprisoned him in his own house.

The next night, Zhang Yunfan secretly came to the underground entrance drawn by the man to investigate.

This entrance is difficult to detect without looking closely, as it is hidden beneath a farm's barn.

Zhang Yunfan finally entered it after some twists and turns, and then walked down a long downward staircase until he reached a corridor.

This was supposed to be the edge of the castle dungeon, and few people came here, and Zhang Yunfan only occasionally saw a few puppets with stiff movements walking from one end of the corridor to the other.

According to what the man said before, Zhang Yunfan learned that in fact, these puppets have no consciousness at all, and they are similar to robots, but their combat instinct is much higher.

They are divided into groups of dozens, controlled by one or a few people, and when fighting, they act like machines, using crowd tactics.

It is said that the Rudinand family also has a so-called factory specializing in the production of puppets, and some people have disappeared in some regional markets, which is related to this factory.

According to the map, Zhang Yunfan walked forward and basically arrived at the dungeon where the Rudinand family held prisoners.

In fact, the Xuanmen was not completely wiped out, and probably dozens of people survived, all of whom were imprisoned.

These people may end up being made into puppets or dragged into other experiments.

An existence like the Rudinand family should wipe them out completely! Zhang Yunfan thought to himself.

Zhang Yunfan walked a distance according to the map, and suddenly the front suddenly opened up, and a hall of several hundred square meters suddenly appeared.

It was silent, and there wasn't a trace of any other noise.

However, Zhang Yunfan was very puzzled, because the map that the man drew for him did not have this square in it, could it be that he went wrong?

Zhang Yunfan walked forward for another distance, walked out of the passageway, and reached the edge of the hall, only then did he realize that this place was really more like a square, and there were more than a dozen passages from all directions that finally extended here.

It's just that as soon as he stepped here, Zhang Yunfan regretted it a little, because he knew that it was not he who made a mistake, but who did it himself!

He did notice it a little late, for soon a loud and deafening sound came from the hole behind him.

It was as if a tank had driven in at the end of the passage. The difference, though, was that instead of a tank, it was a huge ball of stones.

The stone ball rumbled and blocked the exit it had just come from, and then the lights in the hall suddenly turned on, and there were bursts of hurried footsteps at the entrances of more than a dozen holes.

After a while, a group of people poured out of more than a dozen holes, and in less than two minutes, a pair of 100 people appeared in front of Zhang Yunfan.

These were puppets, a few European-faced men with strange antenna-like helmets on their heads, giving orders.

At this moment, a yellow-skinned face slowly stood out from the crowd. Zhang Yunfan didn't know this person, but he always felt a little familiar.

The man walked up to Zhang Yunfan with a sneer and said, "Zhang Yunfan, I've been waiting for a long time!"
