The crisp sound of the heel hitting the ground echoed through the long corridor.

There is no decoration in the hallway, or rather, it is not so much a corridor as a passage made of stone bricks.

At the end of the corridor is a terrifying darkness.

There was no sunlight here, and Anne remembered that when she left the Lord's Hall, the Lord's Hall was still covered with warm sunlight, but here, darkness was the dominant color.

Unlike ordinary little girls, Anne has no fear of the dark. Instead, in this long, cold corridor, she felt nothing but peace of mind.

Anne didn't know how she got here, her original destination was her bedroom, where she had planned to be, trying to communicate with Encore again.

However, the moment she left the lord's hall, she found that the environment around her had changed, and it had become this cold and narrow corridor.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't hesitate and walked all the way forward.

I don't know how long she walked, but Anne finally saw a faint red light in front of her, so she stepped up......

After getting close to the light, Anne realized that the place where the light came from turned out to be a huge steel door that looked very hard.

The giant gate was inlaid with half of the wolf's face on the left and right, and its two eyeballs were two slightly dull red crystals.

However, both the wolf face on that side was full of cracks.

Before Anne came to the steel gate, she carefully looked at the surrounding environment with the faint light emitted by the red crystal, only to find that there was more than just a steel gate.

Outside the steel gate, there are the remains of two knight sculptures, which have fallen to the ground, and if Anne hadn't been carefully identified, they really wouldn't have been able to see - however, the appearance of these two knight sculptures looked somewhat similar to the legendary Scourge Knight, of course, Anne had seen them in books.

This is a huge steel gate!

As if sensing something calling to her on the other side of the door, Anne walked straight to the door without any hesitation.

Just as she put her hand on the door, ready to test if she could push it open, the steel door seemed to turn into a puff of ashes, dissipating towards Anne's back.

Anne didn't think about any reaction before she realized that after the steel gate had dissipated, she was greeted by an open hall.

The floor of the hall and the surrounding walls are paved with raw cut marble, and the whole hall is empty, which makes people look a little uncomfortable.

The only utensils in the hall are those made of obsidian in the center...... Throne!

Above the throne, there seems to be a figure...... One that made Anne look strangely familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it...... Figure.

As if sensing Anne's arrival, the figure moved, and then slowly stood up.

Immediately after, the entire hall was suddenly flooded with light, and Anne subconsciously narrowed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that there was nothing in front of her except the throne.

The only change may be that the hall is no longer so dark, although Anne doesn't know where the light comes from in the absence of magic lamps and candles.

Anne hesitated for a moment, then she was going to continue walking, she wanted to go to the obsidian throne and see where the figure that suddenly disappeared just now had gone—she couldn't be mistaken.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a chill that was so cold that she felt desperate that it came from behind her!

This creepy chill came so suddenly that Anne didn't even have time to turn around!

Then, she felt a trace of malice on her neck.

Anne turned upside down, and her bright red pupils shrank in shock at the face that appeared in front of her, which was almost identical to herself, but more mature!

"Long time no see, little one......"

“...... Encore ......"

That's right, what appeared in front of Anne was none other than Encore, one of the thirteen ancestors of the Blood Clan and the true mistress of the Mokawi clan!

Encore had a wry smile on her lips, she was a head taller than Anne.

It seems that because of the residence in Anne's body, her appearance is not as amorous as that Anne had seen in the forbidden books of Mokkawi, but the same as Anne's, but a little more mature than her.

A mist of blood drifted by, and Encore disappeared in front of Anne's eyes again, but this time, Anne turned back without hesitation...... Sure enough, Encore returned to the obsidian throne.

"What are you doing here, little one, do you want to give me your soul to enjoy?" said Encore, licking her lips and scratching at Anne.

“...... Yes and no. Anne hesitated, took two steps forward, and replied firmly, "I don't know why I'm here, but ...... But I did come to you, and I wanted to make a deal with you...... A deal! You, protect Li Meng for me, and I, I will cooperate with your ......"

"Oh?" Encore's eyes widened, she knew exactly what Anne meant by cooperation, but ...... She shook her head with obvious regret and said, "Ah, so you don't know why you're here...... Actually, I don't know why I'm here...... I've been here since that day, helping you, save your Lemon from that little fellow named Gloa...... Even the last time I communicated with you, I just thought I was back in that damn seal...... But obviously, this is not the place where I was originally requested...... I also want to ask you if you know how to get out...... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything to you here, and if I can't leave this hellish place, neither I nor you can protect your Li Meng. ”

Encore bit the words "your Li Meng" very hard, and his tone was full of ridicule.

But Anne didn't have the heart to laugh, she opened her mouth a little anxiously, and just wanted to speak, but before she could say anything, she turned her head, and she looked behind her, at the entrance of this hall.

And Encore, too, set her sights there, and unlike Annie, her eyes were full of vigilance.

Under the gaze of the two, soon, a broken ragdoll cat appeared in the hall!
