Chapter 721: Chapter 288 Successful Capture of Subject No. 15 [10,000 Words]_2

The foyer on the first floor was rather dim at this moment, with only the fire roaring in the fireplace casting a flicker of light.

Since it was the wee hours of the morning, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling had long been extinguished.

Before long, a shadow could be seen approaching the brightly burning fireplace.

He pulled out a bone that didn’t resemble a human finger from his chest and tossed it directly into the fireplace.

After doing all this, the shadow quickly went upstairs and then returned to his room, as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, by the fireplace, once the finger bone fell into the flames, the fire burned even more intensely, more quickly.

The area enveloped by the warm glow noticeably shrank by a circle.

However, the range of the warm light soon returned to its original state, and if it weren’t for the intensely burning fireplace, one might not notice any change at all.

Let’s return to the time when Mu Rufeng set foot on the third floor.

When Mu Rufeng reached the third floor, he was surprisingly able to go up.

Mu Rufeng guessed that it must be due to his status as the Castle Owner.

Even though Mu Rufeng had entered the third floor, the black fog still lingered, and because of the fog, he couldn’t deploy his ghostly abilities.

The layout of the third floor was not much different from the first floor, with the same eleven rooms.

However, these rooms had been transformed into cages.

They were all iron bars.

One could see that these iron bars were covered with blood, bite marks, claw marks, and the like.

Mu Rufeng looked inside but found it was enveloped in black fog, making it impossible to see clearly or hear any sound.

Trying to throw something inside garnered no reaction whatsoever.

"What a strange place," Mu Rufeng muttered after inspecting the area without finding anything of value.

Finally, Mu Rufeng approached the room on the far right.

This room was directly above the butler’s room where he stayed on the second floor.

The door of this room was locked, and there was a sign on it, but it was stained with blood and corroded, making it impossible to read the words.

Mu Rufeng tried to unlock it using his own strength, but found the lock to be very sturdy. Even when he unleashed his ghostly powers to attack, the door remained unshaken.

After a thought, Mu Rufeng pulled out the clown’s chainsaw.

The clown’s chainsaw could not inflict effective damage on non-physical flesh, but it had the ability to saw through non-living materials.

Even the Mysterious Meteorite Iron could be sawed through, let alone this small door.

Just as Mu Rufeng was about to start, he suddenly thought of something.

Although the third floor was temporarily accessible due to the change in Mu Rufeng’s status, it would probably be unlocked by the third round of the game the day after tomorrow.

At that time, it could just be his room, and destroying it would be counterproductive.

Immediately, Mu Rufeng put away the clown’s chainsaw and took out a key from his Item Slot.

[Decayed Universal Key]:...

Effect:...

Number of uses: 9991/10000

Note:...

It had been quite some time since he had used this, and now it just came in handy.

Mu Rufeng inserted the key into the lock and gently twisted it, hearing a crisp sound, and then he pushed the door open.

After entering, Mu Rufeng closed the door behind him and began to survey the environment inside.

Yet, to his surprise, this place was not a room at all, but more like a laboratory.

All kinds of old machines, metal tables, scalpels, glass chambers, and so on.

The study wasn’t much different, except that the bookshelves were filled with various experiment logs and so on.

Mu Rufeng walked over and took an experimental diary off the shelf.

[An experimental data file recording the experiments of the Ancient Castle’s Owner]

Mu Rufeng turned to the first page.

[1924, July 5th, 21:30, Experiment Record of Subject No. 1: Complete peeling of the chest cavity, Subject No. 1 exhibited a pain response. Heartbeat weak, extremely restless.]

[1924, July 5th, 23:00, Second Experiment Record of Subject No. 1: Kidney removal, the subject showed no excessive reaction.]

...

[1924, July 6th, 03:30, Tenth Experiment Record of Subject No. 1: Heart removal, the subject died ten seconds later.]

...

[1924, August 1st, 20:00, Experiment Record of Subject No. 3: A long needle was used to puncture into its body, the subject still exhibited pain, and was highly aggressive.]

...

[1924, August 2nd, 02:00, Seventh Experiment Record of Subject No. 3: Heart removal, vital signs vanished, reattached within one minute, vital signs restored.]

...

[1924, August 3rd, 06:00, Tenth Experiment Record of Subject No. 3: Heart removal, subject did not lose vital signs or mobility, spinal cord destruction led to loss of mobility, brain damage led to loss of vital signs.]

After reading these records, Mu Rufeng’s heart gave a slight stir.

"Are the subjects human? No, this is the Mysterious World, but if the subjects were supernatural, they wouldn’t die from heart removal."

"Are they some kind of creatures? Or are they human? This ancient castle... are those inside the bars the subjects?" Mu Rufeng frowned slightly.

Mu Rufeng then checked the dates on the other experiment logs and found that they were all closely related.

He also glanced at the start and end times of the experiment logs.
