Chapter 57: She Is So Strong Now!

"I slept really well last night…" Sharon stretched and got out of bed.

The marks of rain outside the window had not yet dried, and the ground was a patchwork of light and dark colors.

In sharp contrast to Sharon, Lin Lin got out of bed with dark circles under her eyes.

As Sharon opened the curtains, she turned and was startled by Lin Lin’s dark circles, "What did you do last night?"

Lin Lin, "I find it hard to explain in one sentence."

Sharon glanced at the clock on the bedside table, "Then you have five minutes to tell it."

Lin Lin told Sharon that Bulwo is Arthur’s brother and is also the real killer whale that entered this illusion.

This time, it was Sharon’s turn to show a shocked and frustrated expression.

Lin Lin finally understood why Bulwo smiled at her expression yesterday.

"Perfect, just like that," Lin Lin raised her instant camera and pointed it at Sharon, "I’m going to take your picture."

"Stop joking," Sharon began to hurriedly change clothes after she took the picture, "Why do you think he acted so well before, but revealed himself last night?"

"Because he is a bad person?" Lin Lin stated her opinion of Bulwo from last night.

"No, even though he is clearly a bad person, I think he revealed himself because he achieved his goal," Sharon said.

Lin Lin immediately became anxious and started changing her clothes.

The two of them walked out of the room, and the whole mansion was in chaos.

The front door of the mansion was wide open, with some people going out and others rummaging through things.

The servants did not leave any space untouched, even pushing the leather sofa in the entrance hall to another spot.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Lin stopped a maid who hurried past them.

"The young lady is missing," the maid said in a panic, then ran further back, probably to check the backyard.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Lin and Sharon exchanged glances.

On one side of the hall, Arthur was already standing there, looking up.

Lin Lin saw Bulwo standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Today, the head maid did not wear a dress; he wore a complete suit.

And among the panicking crowd, no one noticed his different outfit.

Because no matter what Bulwo wore, these people would automatically create a reasonable explanation in their minds.

Bulwo leaned on the armrest and looked at Lin Lin, waving to her from a distance.

Lin Lin pretended not to see his gesture and turned her head.

Bulwo raised an eyebrow and shrugged, showing a "I knew this would happen" expression.

Lin Lin and Sharon stood in front of Arthur.

Lin Lin felt like she had stepped into a game world.

At this moment, whether it was Bulwo, who stood casually on the second-floor staircase, or the three of them quietly standing at the entrance of the hall, they were all still.

In the midst of the servants’ anxious hustle and bustle and loud noise, the few of them seemed out of place.

It was like a player watching an NPC; they could feel sympathy for their struggles and feelings, but that was about it.

Even when they heard that the young lady was missing, their first reaction was, "She must be dead."

Knowing the story’s ending already made even that tension feel half as strong.

After both sides were at a standstill for a while, Bulwo kindly asked if they needed any dessert, "Because they won’t be able to eat until tomorrow."

"No, thank you," Lin Lin firmly declined him.

After Roslyn disappeared, the only important character left in this world was the City Lord, and Lin Lin thought they would have to work hard to find him.

But they found him very easily.

Because he was right where the crowd was gathered.

At this time, the City Lord did not have much respect at the port and did not interfere in many things there, but the residents of the port still showed him their greatest sympathy.

The City Lord found a pair of small white shoes worn by a girl that had been washed ashore by the sea.

The people around stepped back and automatically created a quiet space for him.

Lin Lin watched the strong young father clean the sand off the small shoes. He looked at the crowd and simply said, "Don’t gather by the shore; it’s too dangerous."

Then, he walked away.

–

Everything was the same, but also different.

The City Lord dismissed most of the servants because many of their tasks had revolved around Roslyn before.

The City Lord still worked hard, ate, and slept.

Open your eyes, close your eyes. Daytime, nighttime.

He continues to do the same things as before, but he looks noticeably thinner and older.

The unhealthy weight loss is not all at once; his arms have become thin while his waist is swollen and fat. He looks worse than he did many years ago.

The City Lord began to read and started moving books from the library to his study.

As one of the few servants left, Lin Lin also helped carry books with others, and among those books, she saw some that she recognized, written in ancient script.

These books were moved to the deepest part of the study.

The third line from the paper Sharon stole from the study said, "Do not go to the innermost room of the study."

The last time Sharon went on an adventure, the study was empty; now it is not.

Lin Lin tried to take away or destroy this ominous book but failed, just like Roslyn’s fate. The book’s fate is to be read by the City Lord here.

The unchangeable direction continued, even though Sharon tried to use magic to change everything. Even though Lin Lin communicated with the City Lord again and again, nothing could stop those strange magical items from being moved into the mansion.

The servants in the mansion kept taking leave, and in just over a week, only five or six of them remained.

Bulwo no longer played the role of head maid; he leisurely enjoyed pastries and tea, making snarky comments while Lin Lin and the others worked in vain, and even when they scolded him to be quiet, he shamelessly pretended not to hear.

The past few days went by quickly, like a book being flipped through fast, pulling out unimportant details and leaving only the boring main parts.

Lin Lin was the only one who felt this way; even when she asked Sharon if there was an effect of magic, Sharon felt for a while but could only shake her head.

Then came the night.

At night, Lin Lin heard the sound of pages turning.

The sound was faint and unobtrusive, but what truly woke Lin Lin was the burning sensation of the Demon King Imprint on her neck.

Lin Lin felt a dark, deep energy wrapping around her, making her vision clearer and her body lighter and stronger.

Very good, she has been empowered! Lin Lin has this feeling.

If before Lin Lin was at level 1, now she is at least level 10!

Lin Lin wiped the sweat from her forehead. She tried to wake Sharon, who was sleeping peacefully, but no matter how hard she pushed, Sharon remained fast asleep.

Lin Lin went to another room to find Arthur, but he too was in a deep sleep and could not be awakened.

Lin Lin slapped Arthur twice, confirming that this slap, boosted ten times, still couldn’t wake him up.

As she heard another page turn, Lin Lin noticed some activity on the second floor. She took a baseball bat from the entertainment room.

When Lin Lin reached the second floor, she saw the City Lord, who had just woken up.

She had already talked too much nonsense with the City Lord lately, and Lin Lin knew that no matter what she said, this stubborn person would not listen.

The City Lord was walking deeper into the second floor. Before he could frown and speak to Lin Lin, she had already raised the baseball bat and swung it at his forehead.

The thin and weak City Lord was knocked out by Lin Lin and thrown aside.

Indeed, only violence can solve problems! He looks very obedient with his eyes closed!

Lin Lin’s mind felt a bit dizzy; maybe it was because of the Demon King’s mark strengthening her. She felt strangely excited and eager to start a big project.

With her eyes full of fury, Lin Lin held a baseball bat as she walked deeper into the second floor.

At that moment, the tenfold stronger Lin Lin was filled with confidence!

Anyway, all the bad things in this space are related to Bulwo. Lin Lin had lost patience to deal with him; it would be better to take him down too!

Lin Lin dragged the baseball bat to the corner of the second floor, where Bulwo was reading under the light. He looked a bit surprised at her.

Bulwo closed the book.

Then, he looked at the mark hidden under the patch on Lin Lin’s neck. The man slightly turned toward her, and his blue eyes reflected colors in the dim light, showing interest like a killer whale.

Under the patch, Bulwo saw the dark power of the demon race flowing around Lin Lin. Even a whale, who was not sensitive to magic, could feel its delicate movement.

"The Demon King has given you a lot," Bulwo said with a smile, his voice deep.

"Do you really need to say that?" Lin Lin was already preparing to swing her baseball bat, ready to give him a hit while her grip felt good.

Go, Lin Lin! Knock this guy out, and you will be second only to Safir at the Demon King Castle! Even Arthur will call you boss!

Then, just when she was carefully calculating the strength and angle of her swing, Bulwo suddenly moved closer to Lin Lin, and he easily snatched the baseball bat from her hands!

The baseball bat was thrown to the ground by Bulwo, and the thick carpet muffled some of the sound.

Lin Lin was shocked; she stood frozen in place.

Lin Lin suddenly realized that even a game player would not challenge a level 60 boss when they were level 10.

"Wow," Lin Lin praised Bulwo’s quick move, "You’re really quick, that’s amazing! Sweet dreams, I’m going back to sleep now!"

Then, someone gently tugged at her arm, their warm voice whispering in her ear, "Don’t hurry to leave, you’ve just arrived."
