[A giant barrier surrounds the magnificent castle tower and fortress in front of you. Holding the barrier token, you pass through the barrier under the watchful eyes of a line of warriors and enter the bottom floor of the castle tower...]

[The entrance is like a maze of criss-crossing corridors, with many intermediaries, many maids coming and going, and elite warriors guarding every corner of the corridor...]

[As far as you know, after the assassination during the day, the city lord Daimyo took a rest deep in this layer to recuperate. 】

[According to your memory, you come to the deepest part of the castle tower. Along the way, even if the samurai see you, they don’t bow and salute. They hold the hilts of their swords tightly at their waists, and they still look like they are on guard. 】

[These samurai guards are all dead warriors who have been trained since childhood. They have almost fanatical loyalty to the city lord's name. Even if they are ordered to commit suicide on the spot, the dead warrior guards will do it without hesitation. 】

[At the end of the corridor is the bedroom of the castle lord Daimyo, but there is a giant man standing in front of the shoji gate. ]

[The huge figure of the sturdy man almost occupies the entire passage, blocking the shoji door tightly. His body like a hill is naked from the upper body, and the large bulging muscles can be faintly seen under the thick fat. 】

[It holds a heavy Odachi sword and blocks your way to the bedroom. 】

【You discovered the ‘Fire-Worshiping Ogiwara Family Chief’! 】

[You look at the Odachi standing in front of you and recall this person’s identity...]

[It is the most trusted imperial family member of the Daming Castle Lord and the personal guard of the entire family.]

[His physical strength is astonishing. He can tear apart cattle and horses as easily as he raises his hand. He once wiped out hundreds of enemy troops with one person on the battlefield.]

[It was also favored by the head of the family because of such a terrifying performance, and the head of the family named it a guard to protect the safety of the family members. 】

[The ‘Ogiwara family chief’ blocks your way, his eyes narrowed into slits on his fat face, but there is a fierce light in them. 】

[It yelled angrily, no one is allowed to come near the bedroom without the owner’s permission!]

[The 'Ogiwara Family Daibanya' flips his thick wrist and points the sharp edge of the Odachi towards you. If you dare to take a step forward, even your powerful family boss will kill you with the sword!

】

[Looking at the unyielding Obanya, you feel very angry, knowing that you will never be able to enter the dormitory unless you pass this person.]

【Do you want to duel with him? 】

[You slowly take two steps back and shout loudly to the bedroom, Master, I have something important to report, about the assassination during the day...]

[The ‘Ogiwara family chief’ doesn’t look sideways, still staring at you. 】

[The voice of the ‘Ogiwara family head’ came from behind it: Come in! 】

[The voice of the city lord’s name was full of energy, and there was no trace of any injury on his body.]

[The chief officer responded solemnly, then stepped aside to make way for the passage. You strode forward, opened the shoji door and entered the bedroom...]

[The furnishings in the bedroom are simple, there are no maids waiting around, and only the Lord of the City is sitting in front of the table drinking wine. 】

[It has no hair on its upper body, and its right arm is missing from its right shoulder. However, the original bloody wounds have grown new skin, and the skin is pink, like the skin of a newborn.]

[‘The fire-worshiping head of the Ogiwara family’ pours wine with his remaining left arm, gesturing for you to come forward and drink with him. 】

[You quietly closed the shoji door, stepped forward, took the glass and drank it down in one gulp.]

[The city lord’s daimyo’s eyes were in a trance, as if he was lost in memories. After a long time, he slowly spoke. He thought that when Lord Xuanyi returned, it would be able to rejuvenate itself and live forever...]

[Unexpectedly, Palace Master Xuanyi had been poisoned by the ‘remnants of evil spirits’ long ago, and the person who was most likely to live forever was the first to rush to hell... It’s really ridiculous! 】

[The city lord’s name doesn’t seem to be interested in listening to your report. At this moment, it may just want to find someone it trusts to vent its feelings of hopelessness. 】

[It invites you to have another drink and continues, it doesn’t know what method the ‘evil remnant’ used to seize the skins of Palace Master Xuanyi and the Ninja Master... Such magic is extremely terrifying and is truly shocking to the world.]

[Although it has no hope of immortality at this time, if it can master this amazing magic, it may be able to achieve another way of immortality by changing its skin...]

[‘The head of the Ogiwara family who worships fire’ suddenly throws his wine glass to the ground! 】

[It stood up, stared at you with scorching eyes, and said loudly, it doesn’t have to care about the vengeance with you, or it can ignore your identity as an ‘evil remnant’, but you must teach the magic that takes away the skin.

to it!]

[Otherwise, you may not be able to leave the castle tower after drinking the poisoned wine!]

[After saying this, the shoji door behind you was split open by a blade, and a large number of elite warriors poured in outside the door, and the leader was the giant "Ogiwara Family Dabanbu". 】

[In the blink of an eye, you are surrounded by layers of warriors, with countless crossbows aimed at you and ready to go! 】

[You suddenly feel cramping in your abdomen, as if your liver and intestines have been severed.]

[You lose strength all over your body, your vision goes dark, and you pass out...]

【……】

The game text ended abruptly, leaving Lin Xun with a confused look on his face.

"Damn! When did I get exposed?"

After waiting for a long time, the game text continued to jump.

【……】

[You opened your eyes drowsily, only to feel that there was no strength left in your body. 】

[The environment around me is dark and humid, and the strong rancid smell lingers in my nose. 】

[The lights in the corner are dim, and it takes you a long time to see that this is a water cell.]

[Your lower body is soaked in rancid sewage. The walls are all made of copper and iron. Only the top of your head is an iron mesh prison made of fine steel. 】

[Your hands and feet are bound by chains engraved with talismans. A slight exertion of force will cause the talismans to flicker, sucking out all your strength.]

[Your awakening attracted the attention of the warrior on duty above the cell. The warrior hurriedly left the cell, apparently going out to report.]

[Not long after, the figure of the ‘Ogiwara family head’ appeared outside the water prison. 】

[It drives away the warriors on the left and right, leaving only you and it in the cell. 】

[The ‘Head of the Ogiwara Family’ squatted down and looked down at you, half of your body soaked in rotten water, and spoke slowly...]

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Are you confused about how it discovered your identity?]

[The head of the Ogiwara family smiled softly and told you that entering the castle tower requires not only a barrier token, but also a password. You didn't give the password when you entered the castle tower, and you didn't say it when the captain stopped you.

Export order.]

[As for your order for a group of warriors to unload the arrows from their crossbows, such an unusual order attracted other retainers to report to it, and your identity was naturally exposed.]

[After investigation, it was found that four warriors and two craftsmen were missing in the guard building. No one was alive or dead, but no corpses were found.]

[Contacting the assassination actions of you as the Lord of Xuanyi Palace and the ninja dog during the day, we can deduce that what you used was not the 'transformation technique', but the evil magic that plundered the skin. 】

[Knowing that you are capable of such sorcery, it understands that instead of guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it is better to trick you into a trap... Now you have become a prisoner, no different from the monsters in Faxiang Temple. ]

[Speaking of this, the 'Head of the Ogiwara Family' paused and continued, the chains that bind your hands and feet are not mortal things. He advises you not to waste your energy. If you teach him sorcery and magic earlier, you may be able to escape from the prison.

Suffer less physical pain.]

Even if Lin Xun wanted to teach the 'head of the Ogiwara family' the method of possessing the body, he couldn't teach it. What's more, he was under the control of others at this time. Even if he could teach it, Lin Xun would not hand over the 'witchcraft'.

[The 'Head of the Ogiwara Family' can tell by the look in your eyes that you haven't surrendered yet. It smiles contemptuously, stands up, and looks at you with cold eyes...]

[You tried to break free from the chains, but you couldn't exert any strength.]

"Oh, you think you can tie me up with this?"

Lin Xun decisively switched bodies.

[You are possessed by the ‘body of the sunken earth giant’! 】

[You shouted angrily, and the muscles all over your body bulged. Just as you were about to exert your strength, the chain charm flashed, sucking all your strength away in an instant like a whale sucking water. 】

[You fell to the ground unable to do anything, choked on a mouthful of rotten water, and coughed repeatedly.]

[The ‘Head of the Ogiwara Family’ is still looking at you with cold eyes and contempt, as if urging you to continue resisting so that you can surrender in despair as soon as possible. 】

[You roar angrily, activate the racial talent of ‘Dajishikun’, and your body will increase in size and transform into a giant...]

[But I saw the chain talisman flashing again, fixing your body here, and you can't even use your racial talent. 】

Lin Xun was startled and quickly opened the panel to check.

I saw that the fonts of various skills were already dark in color, and they were obviously unable to be activated.

Even the props and equipment on the body can no longer be used and cannot appear with the possessed body.

There is a mark at the top of the body bar: Abnormal status.

He tried switching to various bodies, but he couldn't break free from the chains.

"...Is it possible that we can only return to the city for free?"

When the body is useless, the only way to escape the current situation seems to be to commit suicide and return to the resting page.

But doing so would be equivalent to a second failed assassination, which would strengthen the castle tower again. Even if we return to the castle tower, it would probably be difficult to conquer this place.

For a moment, Lin Xun frowned and tried various ways to get out of trouble.

While in a chain-bound state, in addition to being able to switch bodies, skills, props, etc. cannot be used.

【……】

[The 'Ogiwara Family Patriarch' has been waiting for a long time. Seeing that you haven't given up your struggle yet, it seems to have lost its patience. It sneered, turned around and walked away. 】

[Not long after, a huge man appeared in the cell, it was the ‘Fire Worshiper of the Ogiwara Family’.]
