A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"It's really easy to get in here... Adams, is it redundant to call us here? Is this broken ring really worth our effort?"

The short-haired woman said.

"Danis, you haven't got the stuff yet, so don't let your guard down."

The calm middle-aged man next to Adams reminded.

"Bilfer is right, Danis, this all comes too easily, we must be careful around us...Where's Bombur?"

Adams asked.

"Look, it's on the roof."

Danis pointed upwards and stretched out a hand to greet the three people.

"He really likes to be in high places..."

"Anyway, let's split up and look for the pair of rings. If we find them... we'll meet back here."

"Be careful with those statues and paintings... It's best not to touch anything. I heard that the vampires like to attach all kinds of unexpected traps to them."

"That's not a trap, it's actually a living thing... Anyway, be careful, I don't want to lose you here..."

"Stop being so cheesy, disband, get this over with and leave quickly, I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a second."

Danis said, then she picked a direction and left the three of them.

"...That's it, disband..."

......

Adams chose the top floor of the castle because it is often the living room of the castle owner, and the probability of finding something there might be greater.

The fireplace is empty. I don't know how many years it has been since a spark came into the fireplace...

After all, the castle didn't look like it had ever been lived in.

Adams didn't know whether this was the vampire's habit or whether this castle was not meant for those guys to live in...

portrait......

The most eye-catching thing in this room is the portrait hanging above the fireplace.

The painting depicts a large family standing together, enjoying themselves...

If those pale faces and red eyes were not so conspicuous, one would believe that this was indeed an ordinary family.

It's a pity that such paintings can only make people feel creepy.

The date is also written in the lower right corner of the painting... and the line of small words following it -

"McAvian".

This is probably the name of this big family...

Looks like a bunch of psychopaths...

In order to avoid being trapped by the portrait, Adams immediately shifted his gaze to other corners of the room.

The dusty, tattered bed, and... the inappropriately large vase covered in spider webs at the head of the bed...

Adams, who had been engaged in stealing for many years, keenly realized the unusualness of the vase and immediately stepped forward to identify the vase.

Antiques...absolutely antiques, with a history that is no less than that of the castle, or even older.

But should I just leave such a precious thing by the bed like this?

Adams knew that this was impossible. There must be a whole chain of traps hidden inside. As long as someone dared to touch it, some danger would follow.

But Adams is quite confident in his skills.

After looking around the vase, Adams had basically locked onto several traps that were visible to the naked eye.

There are two arrow traps, one in front and one behind, a magic trap above the head, and three drop traps around the vase.

A dragnet...

However, once the location of the trap is known, it will be much easier to remove it.

Adams first bypassed the pit trap and dismantled the two archery traps in front and behind.

If the magic trap cannot be dismantled, then it will be triggered...

Magic traps used indoors... generally not explosive ones...

In that case, all you have to do is dodge quickly.

But to be on the safe side, Adams used a magic dispel scroll first.

As his whole body lit up, a faint light enveloped Adams. As long as magic approached his body, it would instantly become ineffective or weakened, and then the scroll would become invalid.

Then Adams put on the special gloves he had prepared for the crime.

Anti-poison and anti-bite.

Everything was ready. Adams stood at a rather tricky angle and reached out to touch the antique vase.

Sure enough, the moment the fingertips touched the vase, the magic circle on the roof flickered at an astonishing frequency, and then several sharp ice cones and a red lightning shot out from it.

Adams, who realized something was wrong, was already prepared. He estimated the location of the pit trap, dodged the initial ice cone, and then used the scroll effect to take on the red lightning.

A puff of green smoke rose up, and the scroll was barely able to withstand the lightning attack, but it made Adams feel a little numb.

It's actually a compound magic trap...

You can dodge an icicle, but you may not be able to dodge lightning.

If the effect of the scroll is canceled out by the ice cone first, the subsequent lightning will be difficult to dodge in the first place due to the brief impact caused by the cancellation of the two.

When dodging, be careful of the pit traps under your feet.

Not to mention the archery traps that were removed in advance...

Adams did not completely relax his vigilance, because he realized that the vase could not be lifted at all, and it was completely stuck to the cabinet...

So this is simply a deliberately designed bait.

What kind of psychopath would do that?

Or did the designer leave some...backdoor?

Adams re-evaluated the vase.

Is there something fishy inside the vase?

Adams reached into the vase and felt around with the help of special gloves he was wearing.

Hey hey...

Soon, Adams pulled his hand out, bringing out a large, strangely shaped worm.

This is......

"Hidden insect".

How could the thief nemesis that only appears in legends appear here?

It is said that this insect can perform simple mechanical manipulation according to the instructions pre-entered by the breeder...

As the designer of the house, he naturally wouldn't trigger any mechanism when he touched the vase...

No wonder the trap’s design is so… bold?

The appearance of the legendary "hidden worm" further illustrates the importance of the vase... Perhaps there are other mechanisms in this vase besides the trap?

Throwing aside the difficult-to-carry-away "hidden insect", Adams reached back into the vase.

This way... this way... and this way...

The mechanism that can be operated by the intelligence of the "hidden worm" is simpler than human operation, and it is enough for Adams to just explore it.

After a few or three clicks, the wall behind the vase made a series of creaking sounds.

Soon, a hidden passage appeared before Adams.
