Two hundred and eighty-three. Awkward meeting
The yard was patrolled as well, but like the guards standing at the door, they all seemed rather lazy, just wandering around the yard and making a show.
Shi Lin didn't pay attention to them at all, and easily walked around the side and came to the gate of the castle.
"Is there really no one?" Shi Lin looked into the castle, the hall was empty, and he walked in slowly. "It's weird!"
Shi Lin slowly walked to the top of the high platform, there was no trace there, if they walked voluntarily, then there would definitely be nothing left, and he didn't have any way to verify it.
But then, he suddenly heard something from upstairs, which interrupted his train of thought.
"Someone upstairs? It turned out to be hiding on it! β
Those who could enter the castle were all leaders of the black light, so he didn't continue to hide, but strode upstairs.
βbossοΌ Black Feather? I'm Shi Lin, are you upstairs? β
No one responded to the question, and the more Shi Lin walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he walked to the second floor and didn't see anyone.
He hadn't been to the second floor, nor had he been to the third floor, so when he came to the second floor, he habitually slowed down his movements and began to observe his surroundings.
"There are a lot of sun murals here, and it looks like Black Light is a sun worship organization, but..."Shi Lin touched the mural hanging on the wall with his hand. There are a lot of shadows in these paintings, which makes people look uncomfortable..."
Shi Lin had already come to the stairs as he walked, and he walked up to the third floor, and he looked up the stairs, puzzled.
"If it's the boss and the black feather, they must have already discovered me, it's impossible to stay on it and wait for me to go up by myself..."
He slowly walked up the stairs until he reached the third floor, but instead of seeing the so-called boss and Black Feather, or even the other members, he saw a woman in black trapped in an iron cage.
And the pair of crimson eyes instantly reminded him of that dark night, the figure standing on the tree staring at him.
"Is that you? The man who stood in the tree that night, why are you here? Could it be that you are also a person of black light? β
Heijing also found the stone forest coming up at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and then regained her composure.
"Is that you? Oh, I remember you, I saw you in the woods the other day, you sneaky don't know what you're doing? β
"How can I be sneaky? I'm just trying to get acquainted with the environment! Shi Lin quibbled as he walked to the side of the iron cage. It's you, you're locked up in this kind of place, you're definitely not a good person, are you? β
Heijing looked at Shi Lin quietly, but her mind was thinking about how to escape from here with him, after all, those people, including Nameless, may have already left here, and if she wants to escape from this cage, she can only rely on him to help herself.
"If I said I was a good person, would you believe me?" Sombra said with a smile. "The black light has changed, I'm here to stop this..."
Shi Lin silently looked at the woman in front of him, although he didn't believe it, but this woman's tone and expression didn't look like a lie, and even if it was to test him, he didn't need to lock himself up in such a big iron cage, right?
But he still kept an eye on her, and instead of asking her immediately, he asked rhetorically.
"You're here to stop this? What do you mean? You're not a Black Light person? β
"I wasβ" Sombra smiled bitterly, then looked up at the stone forest. I can see that your heart is not in the black light, our purpose is the same, can you help me? β
"Help? I'm a high-ranking member of the Black Light, don't use your rhetoric to confuse me, I won't believe it! Shi Lin smiled slightly and sat outside the iron cage. Unless, you tell me who you really are, I may open up and consider whether to release you! β
"Does my real identity matter that much?" Sombra whispered. "But it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, after all, I know you're not a bad person..."
"Twenty years agoβ" Heijing sighed, her body slumped weakly on the bed, and she said slowly and helplessly. I am the High Priestess of the Black Light, the former Second Person of the Black Light, and the Black Light was still thriving at that time, and everyone's goal was to build a light world without disasters and darkness..."
"But just five years later, a young man named Nameless came here and changed all that..."
"Wait... Wait a minute! I'm a little confused, you mean, twenty years ago, the black light wasn't what it is now, right? β
"Yes!" Sombra nodded. "At that time, our main method of help was still persuasion or disguised exposure, and it would not involve such extreme acts as murder at all, but..."
"After Nameless came, he replaced the black light boss at that time and became the new boss, and no one found out..."
"Alternate boss? Are you saying that the current boss is nameless? β
Shi Lin knew that this nameless person, this person was very mysterious and low-key, he usually wore a mask, even when he was in a meeting, he also wore a mask, and no one had ever seen his real appearance, which he was very similar to the boss.
"Isn't that right? But when we were in a conference, Nameless and Boss appeared at the same time, huh? β
"That's just a trick on his side," Sombra said slowly. All he had to do was have one of his men wear a mask and pretend to be him

With that, he can settle everything else! β
"So what? You go on to say that the black light has become what it is now? β
"Nameless is a genius, he can do anything, he first used psychedelics to corrupt everyone, and then used hypnotism to make them create all kinds of killing games, let them know that this way is the way to completely eradicate evil..."
"But they don't know that killing people is addictive, and this method will only make Black Light fall into a bloodthirsty vortex, and the end result is exactly like this..."Black Crystal choked up as she spoke. The black light was ruined by that guy, I must kill him and avenge the dead boss! β
Shi Lin was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say, in fact, he really wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the black light boss. But with so much information at once, his brain couldn't digest it.
"Since you're so honest, then I'll make it clear," Shi Lin said softly. I sympathize with your plight, I actually came here to help the weak, but I can't let you out, because if I let you go, I will become a sinner, but I can do things for you, but the premise is that you can't say that I've been here..."
Sombra thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Then you can help me find a pair of tongs, and then find me something to eat... Nothing else..."
Shi Lin could only accept this kind of request silently, who made him just agree to help others?
"It's easy to find food, but this iron tong..."Shi Lin looked a little embarrassed. I'm not familiar with this place, so where can I find this thing for you? β
"You go out of the castle and go all the way north, and you will see a blacksmith shop with iron tongs, you go there and pick one and bring it back to me!"
"Okay..."
Shi Lin nodded, then rolled over and jumped out of the window.
This castle is actually not very high, the location of the third floor is about three meters, and there is a lawn below, and a person like him who has practiced jumping from it has nothing to do at all.
Again deftly evaded the guards, and then ran out the same way.
"The castle goes north... Is the woman so familiar with this? β
Shi Lin has always been a little suspicious of this woman's identity, because this woman looks too similar to Hei Yu, but it is not exactly the same, she is like Hei Yu after getting old, which can't help but make him suspect that this woman is actually Hei Yu's mother.
But, is Black Feather an orphan? Although this news is not very credible, but the black light is spreading like this, he believes it.
"When I go back later, I must ask her what her relationship is with Black Feather, in case this is a test, then won't I fall into the pit?"
He now has an inexplicable feeling, he has just taken the test, hungry and cold, and his mental state is not very good, and then he came to the castle to find someone, and he inexplicably wants to help others find food and things.
Although there are a lot of complaints in my heart, I always have to do good deeds to the end, after all, that woman may know more about the Black Light Boss, as well as the inside of the Black Light.
What's more, if what she said is true, and Nameless is the boss, then he can have many opportunities to get close to him, and then take the opportunity to kill him, so it doesn't have to be so troublesome.
Soon he saw the blacksmith shop in the forest to the north, and there was an old man sharpening his knife in front of the blacksmith shop.
"Is there anyone here? How else am I going to get something? β
At this time, the old man seemed to have also discovered the stone forest, glanced over there and said.
"Young man, what are you hiding there, what's the matter with coming to my blacksmith shop!"
Shi Lin had no choice but to walk out slowly.
"Old man, I want to borrow a pair of tongs from you, do you think it's okay?"
"Borrowing something? No, no, no! You can't borrow anything here, unlessβ" said the old man with a smile. "Unless, you can pay to buy him away!"
"Spending money? Okay! How much does that one pair cost? I bought it! β
"A thousand! No counteroffers! β
The old man slowly stood up, then picked up the knife that was being sharpened, looked at the surprised stone forest in front of him, and whispered.
"What? No money? Don't have the money to ask for anything? Don't waste my time! β
The old man walked towards the house, but how could Shi Lin let him go so easily, this is the territory of black light, and he speaks with strength.
He rushed forward with a lunge, grabbed the old man by the neck, and then pulled him backwards, dragging the old man to the ground, and at the same time smashed him half to death with a single punch.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! I throw in the towel! β
Although the old man had already shown the intention of surrendering, it was clear that Shi Lin did not intend to let him go, punching one punch after another until the old man was knocked unconscious.
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, I have to blackmail other people's nothing good at every turn!"
Shi Lin dragged him aside, and then walked straight into the blacksmith shop.
It is said to be a blacksmith shop, but this is actually just a blacksmith shop, and there is basically nothing in the shop. There are only a few basic tools, and some simple weapons.
After he found the iron tongs, he also took two daggers and a knife.
"Next is food, I really didn't notice if there are any restaurants here, do you want to find someone to eat?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
His first reaction was Lin Xue. This little girl is so cute, since those high-ranking members have already left, then that forest dream must also be gone, so there should be no problem for him to go there, as long as he is not discovered by others.
"It's just past noon, and it should be just time to eat, so I should be just right to go now!"
Shi Lin quickly followed the route in his memory, until he came to two cherry blossom trees, and compared to other people's territory, Lin Jianmeng's territory was relatively easy to identify.
Climbing over the wall again, there are still some people in the courtyard who are still wandering around and training, it seems that Lin Jianmeng's departure did not make them relax, but trained as always.
However, he didn't see Lin Xue, and he guessed that it might be because she hadn't finished eating yet, or was training somewhere else.
"Then I'd better go to her room and wait for her!"
Shi Lin quickly concealed his figure, and then walked towards the residential area in the backyard.
He hadn't been to Lin Xue's room, but he knew where the room he bought was, near Lin Jianmeng's room.
He knocked on the door to make sure there was no one inside, then pushed it open and walked in.
"Sure enough, there's no one, so I'll just wait here for a while..."
Shi Lin sat on a stool beside him, and the table was full of some simple cosmetics and a mirror.
"I'm so old... I didn't expect my face to be so rough when I was just over 30..."
He couldn't help but sigh, and instead of looking at the mirror that made people feel bad, he looked at other things around him.
"Although this room is very simple, the style does look like a little girl, especially this one..."Shi Lin looked at a pink pajama on the bed. I don't know if that violent woman in the forest dream will have such a thing..."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and Shi Lin hurriedly hid behind the door, after all, he didn't notify him in advance, so he still had to keep a little mystery and not scare others.
The door slowly opened, and Lin Xue walked in from outside with a basket, sweating profusely, looking like she had just finished training.
After Lin Xue put the basket on the table, she walked towards the back of the house, taking off her clothes as she went.
Shi Lin didn't know that there was still space in the back of this room, he just saw a bed, so he didn't look back.
"What is this for? Why are you still starting to take off your clothes? Shi Lin immediately followed, came to the bed and saw the back, only then did he realize that there was a small bathroom in the back, which was very similar to the architectural style in ancient times.
I saw that Lin Xue had all stripped off and walked into a large wooden barrel, and her snow-white skin flashed, which also made Shi Lin hurriedly turn around.
"Let's wait until she's done washing! I'm waiting for her outside! β
Shi Lin hurriedly returned to the outside and sat on the stool. Quietly wait for her to come out.
After about half an hour, there was finally some movement inside, and Shi Lin hurriedly came to the door, pretending to knock on the door.
"Anyone? No one, I'm in! β
Shi Lin pushed open the door, pretended to close it again, and then came to the room.
"Who? Wait a minute! Lin Xue's voice appeared in the back, and she waited for a while before she walked out from behind. Brother Shi Lin? You're back! β
Lin Xue ran over barefoot and hugged Shi Lin, the extremely soft feeling on his body, coupled with the fragrant smell, made Shi Lin forget to speak for a moment.
It wasn't until Lin Xue found out about this and hurriedly jumped away and blushed that Shi Lin slowly recovered and said with a smile.
"Hey, hey! Lin Xue hasn't seen you for a long time..."
"Brother Shi Lin, why are you here?" Lin Xue straightened her clothes, then turned around and asked. "Was the test successful? You're here to find the master this time, right?! β
"Of course not..."Looking at Lin Xue, who was a little lonely, he hurriedly shook his head. I'm here to find you, and I need your help with something! β
"Huh? What's up? Brother Shi Lin, you say it! If you can do it, I will definitely help you! β
"I need something to eat, I have a friend who is hungry, I need to find him something to eat..."Shi Lin scratched his head. But I don't know where to eat, I don't have any friends here, so I thought I'd come to you..."
"That's it?" Lin Xue covered her mouth and smiled. "Come on! Brother Shi Lin, come here, I just brought some food, let's eat together! β
Lin Xue turned around and came to the table, and opened the basket she had brought back before, which contained some steamed buns, a plate of roast chicken, and a few side dishes.
"This food is hearty, isn't it? Do you usually eat this? Shi Lin hurriedly followed and sat down at the table.
"This is very ordinary food..."Lin Xue smiled and took out all the contents inside. Oh! By the way, you mean bring some to your friends, right? Then I'll give you a share! β
The two had a lunch together, and then Shi Lin said goodbye to Lin Xue, even though Lin Xue didn't want him to go, but Shi Lin still found an excuse to leave, after all, he still had a task to do.
"Lin Xue, I'll come back to you after I'm done and see if there's a chance to take you out!"
"Good! Brother Shi Lin, I'm waiting for you! β
Shi Lin took the basket and climbed over the wall again, walking towards the castle.
"Is it already dark? It's been a long delay..."
