In the dark room, the head dripping with blood rolled slowly, drawing a long line of blood on the floor.

The headless body that fell to the ground lay at Su Mingan's feet.

He confirmed again that this person's appearance was indeed the princess he had just seen.

He didn't panic, he just turned around and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

He stared at the door.

"Dong dong dong."

The visitor knocked on the door leisurely and did not seem to find it strange to knock on the door in the early hours of the morning.

"Who?" Su Mingan said.

What responded to him was the steady knock on the door.

Su Mingan took a step forward and suddenly felt something grabbing her leg.

He looked down and saw a face that suddenly began to decay.

The head on the ground slowly began to stand up, its round eyeballs staring at him silently.

The sticky blood and tangled skin slowly slid down from her cheek, and it was the hand of the headless corpse that grabbed Su Ming'an's calf.

"Whoa!"

Su Ming'an cut off the hand with a sword. At this time, the hand that was separated from the body also began to rot. Soon it became bloody and bloody, and blood flowed all over the floor.

...what the hell is this.

Rather than saying that this is the princess of the Praia royal family, he is more willing to believe that this is a demon that has invaded the princess's body.

He shook his legs, there was still a blood-red fingerprint on his pants, and the knock on the door was still ringing.

While looking at the corpse, he walked towards the door and saw that the corpse had begun to squirm on its own, and the broken flesh and beautiful clothes were mixed together, like a meandering semi-liquid.

The detached head was still staring at him closely, and the eyeballs in the two eye sockets seemed to be detached.

"Click."

Before Su Mingan's hand touched the doorknob, the door opened by itself.

He quickly turned his gaze back to the squirming mass of flesh and blood.

In the dark corridor, a girl in a gorgeous yellow dress was looking at him quietly, holding a red candle.

The dim light of the candlelight shone on her smooth face, and she still looked dignified and beautiful.

"……Princess?"

Su Mingan was stunned for a moment.

A person with the same appearance as the corpse inside appeared outside his door.

Wait, that one in the room is...?

"Good morning, Su Lin." The princess smiled slightly: "The maid said she heard some movement in your room, are you okay?"

Looking at the princess whose expression was normal, Su Mingan gradually realized the complexity of the matter.

He had thought before that as long as he controlled the Soul Clan and the Soul Hunters, he could even overthrow the entire Praia.

But now it seems that the royal family in Praia is not as simple as he imagined.

I chatted with Garde before, and she said that in the previous royal family of Praia, the former king died suddenly and the former queen died on the same day, leaving only the young Princess Tulip. The barrier was unstable and foreign enemies were prying. The royal family’s

The situation is not very optimistic.

But Princess Tulip quickly stabilized the situation and secured her position at a very young age. Even before she was crowned, she already had the power to rule Praia.

Judging from the Pope's attitude, he did not despise the princess in front of him at all.

The princess in front of him will be his biggest obstacle so far. If he can conquer it or transform it...

"...Su Lin?" The princess tilted her head slightly, and the arc of her smile looked just right: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong in the room?"

"..." Su Ming'an turned aside and motioned for her to see for herself.

The princess slowly entered the room, and Su Mingan turned around with her and looked at the twisted and rotting corpse in the room——

He saw a clean floor.

There were no squirming blood clots, no crimson and black blood stains, and no heads staring at people in an eerie manner.

It's like nothing happened.

"What's wrong?" The princess turned to look at him, looking a little confused.

"Just now, someone just like you assassinated me." Su Mingan said bluntly.

After listening to his words, the princess's expression became a little confused.

"It turns out it's her." The princess turned around and said, "Just in time, I want to talk to you about this matter. It's almost morning... Su Lin, come with me."

She handed the candlestick to the maid who was hanging her head at the side, and then walked out the door.

Su Mingan was stunned when he saw the maid.

These maids had always lowered their heads so low that their bangs covered their faces, making it difficult to see their eyes. But now when the candlelight illuminated their faces, they raised their faces slightly, and he suddenly saw the faces of these maids.

, looks exactly like Princess Tulip.

If they change their clothes and hairstyle, they will look like they are carved from the same mold.

He immediately focused his attention and began to observe everyone coming and going, paying attention to the small half of their faces.

After observing like this, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

Everyone he passed along the way with the princess...whether it was the maid sweeping the house, the maid on duty, or the gardener in the garden, their facial features were almost exactly the same, except for the differences in the quality of their skin due to age.

, there is no difference in the shape of other facial features.

...This entire royal castle is like a world of replicas. And Princess Tulip, who is in her best years, the most beautiful, and the most upright, is the king who commands them.

Following the princess, he gradually walked out of the castle area, went down the stairs, and entered the underground.

Under the narrow stairs, the underground space is unique and seems to be quite large.

This is an underground prison.

The environment was somewhat dark and humid, with an unpleasant smell of water vapor in the air, and there were several shocking large bloodstains on the broken mud walls.

Behind the iron railings, there were several prisoners locked up with dull eyes. Their eyes seemed to have lost their vitality, and they were just lying in the corner blankly.

...but they still look exactly like the princess.

However, unlike the maids and maids outside, they look younger and more beautiful. Even if they are locked up in prison, they still seem to be well taken care of.

Hearing the movement, they raised their heads slightly, and then their expressions suddenly became excited as if they saw something.

They stood up suddenly and rushed towards the iron railing as if they were bumping into each other, holding the iron railing tightly with their hands, their eyes full of desire.

Like several dogs with their tongues hanging out, they pressed against the iron railing almost impatiently, as if waiting for something.

"What is this?" Su Mingan looked at the princess.

"Su Lin, you haven't had a good meal since you came back." The princess lowered her head slightly and was carefully wiping her slender fingers with a white square handkerchief.

The soft white cloth slid across the back of her hand, revealing her bright red fingernails. She lowered her head and said with a gentle smile in her voice: "...please use it."

"What?"

"A meal to entertain you when you return." The princess smiled: "The conditions are a bit crude, but after all, this kind of thing cannot be put on the table, so please forgive me."

Su Mingan moved his eyes.

Following her line of sight, he saw that the "food" the princess was referring to was those young women who looked exactly like her.

...she knows that she is a soul clan?

But since I started the dungeon, I have never felt the so-called hunger of the Soul Clan, and I have never attacked humans.

He glanced at these crazy, wild-looking girls and didn't want to do anything at all.

"What is it you want to tell me?" He changed the subject.

The square handkerchief slipped from the princess's hand.

She had no intention of picking it up, but slowly turned her head and looked at him.

"Don't you want to eat?" she asked.

"Let's talk business first," Su Mingan said.

"..." The princess leaned forward slightly.

Her light-colored eyes, which were always smiling, were now full of aggression.

Like a wild beast that finally revealed its murderous intent, her eyes were fixed on him.

"...If you don't eat, they will commit suicide." Her voice seemed to have a strong inducement: "Do you know what they will do next? Their nails are very long and sharp.
