had never cried, rarely smiled, spoke little, and had no special hobbies. He was just a bit stubborn in character. In fact, he was a good child who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Why..."Well, the temperature in the room is quite high," Ghost Noodles said truthfully. It was at least 40 degrees Celsius, maybe even close to 50°. He thought to himself that even in a room like this, ordinary lighting couldn't possibly produce such an effect.

The temperature is incredibly high...

"I'm feeling the heat too," Wushuang said nonchalantly. She got Gui Mian to help her move a statue, but the problem was that the two of them couldn't budge it. Wushuang gave up and decided it wasn't worth wasting time on it, even if they eventually managed to move it.

"You squat down and hold me up, I want to take a look." Wushuang gave a direct order. Gui Mian raised an eyebrow but remained motionless. Wushuang narrowed her eyes and smiled, breathtakingly beautiful, "Come here, squat down."

"You want to step on me…" he pointed at the ceiling.

Wushuang naturally retorted, "Do you have an opinion"

Nonsense, of course I have opinions. How could he, a man of his stature, let her step all over him Wu Shuang reminded him of time, "Don't dawdle any longer, there are still half an hour left. If we don't get out, we'll both die. Of course, if you want to stay and keep me company in my grave, I have no problem. But your little girlfriend would be heartbroken, wouldn't she"

Ghost Noodles felt a knot in her throat, suppressing the urge to punch her. "So domineering, which man would dare to want you"

He had struck a nerve with his words, and her face paled. Ghost Face also realized he’d said the wrong thing. Without a word, he immediately crouched down. Wu Shuang stomped hard on his back with one foot, almost making him kneel. Ghost Face was irritated, "Woman, go easy!"

"Sorry!" Wu Shuang said with a smile, stepping on Gui Mian's shoulders. He slowly stood up, reaching the ceiling and taking apart the outer glass. Sure enough, there was something inside...

Besides the incandescent light bulbs, inside the dark compartment was a long rectangular sandalwood box. Without hesitation, she took out the box and opened it. Inside, nestled within, was the Sea Blue Heart, its brilliant azure hue accompanied by a wisp of warm air. Within the gem, something seemed to be moving, pulsing with an ethereal energy.

Very beautiful...

It truly is the Azure Heart, a treasure and a spirit.

"Did you get it"

"As expected, I got it." Wushuang smiled.

She placed the glass back where it belonged, turned her body and slid off Ghostface's back. She brushed the dust off her shoulders. Wushuang took out the Azure Heart, and the temperature in the secret room rose sharply. Both of them started sweating.

"So beautiful, is this the Heart of the Sea"

With a nod, it was an ominous object. Yet, it was unparalleled in its beauty, radiant and captivating. No wonder so many people, despite knowing its ominous nature, still craved to possess it.

She let out a sigh of relief, she finally got it.

Kaka will definitely be happy to see this, it's the necklace that Hai Lan has always wanted.

Even the curse of non-ink holds a thread of hope.

"It's so hot! What's going on" The two of them were drenched in sweat, like they had just come out of a river. It was unbearably hot, and the source of the heat was this Sea Blue Heart...

"Wushuang said, 'The Heart of the Sea gemstone is a heat-gathering gem with a storage function. At normal temperatures, the gem won't change in any way and its temperature won't rise. But place it next to an incandescent light bulb, and the gem will gather the heat and release it, hence the high room temperature.'"

She hadn't thought of that at first, but later realized the connection between room temperature and gemstones. The secret compartment inside the incandescent bulb was very well hidden and difficult to find. Even if she searched the entire room, she might not have found it. If it weren't for the high-temperature reaction of the sapphire heart, Wu Shuang wouldn't have discovered it either.

The Duke should not know about the Sea Blue Heart's function, otherwise he wouldn't have placed it next to the White Flame.

Wu Shuang put the Azure Heart into her bag and checked the time. The two of them packed up their things and went out. Wu Shuang casually asked, "There are so many jewels here, don't you take one to please your girlfriend"

At first glance, she didn't have a good impression of this person. His face was too grim and cold, and he was cunning. She always did things her own way, openly and honestly, and didn't like dealing with sly people.

As she talked and interacted with him, she found that Gui Mian wasn't so bad after all.

At least, facing such a treasure, she wasn't moved. She was quite surprised.

He wore a mask, and she couldn't see his expression, but his voice was much lower, "She has been dead for seven years. I promised her I would stay with her for seven years, not leave our home."

Wúshuāng was startled and blurted out, "Your woman is really good to you."

After she died, he stayed by her side for seven years. It seemed lonely, miserable, and cruel, but she knew there had to be a reason, and that reason was why after seven years, he would return to the world.

Wushuang thought, Ghost Face's girlfriend must hope that Ghost Face can let go of his hatred and live a good life.

This is her greatest comfort.

She recalled what Long Chengtian’s wife had said when she died, it was completely different. She asked Long Chengtian to avenge her, and Wu Shuang guessed that the ghost face’s girlfriend must have also been killed by revenge, but their approaches were different.

The ghost noodle smiled faintly, "Yes!"

The first time she saw him smile, he seemed like a deeply affectionate man, a hopeless romantic!

His feelings for him skyrocketed, a man who is so devoted is the most attractive! Why hasn't anyone ever treated her like this

As the two reached the door to the secret chamber, just about to turn the statue, Wushuang and Gui Mian both stopped abruptly. They looked at each other, their bodies tense with caution, they moved lightly. Wushuang pressed her ear against the stone wall, her brows furrowed suddenly, she made a gesture to Gui Mian.

All the people in the assassin world use almost the same hand language, Ghost Face understands it. There are many people outside waiting for them to open the stone gate and come out. Wushuang and Ghost Face retreat...

"What do we do" asked Gui Mian. They were trapped in a locked room, with no way out except through the stone door, but outside was a hail of bullets. Their chances of making it out alive were slim.

"Let's give it our all!" Gui Mian said, since there was no other way, they could only fight hard.

Wu Shuang smiled faintly, "That's not necessarily true."

"This is a secret room!"

"I know!" Wu Shuang said faintly, "Follow me."

They returned to the blue light passage, Wushuang pointing in a direction in the corner. "This villa isn't without flaws, his lightning protection was poorly done at first. Five years ago, a bolt of lightning destroyed the rooftop water tank, and this section was rebuilt. It was originally a ventilation shaft."

"Are you sure"

"Of course!" Wushuang said in a deep voice, his ghost-like eyes narrowed, "Leave it to me!"

If it's a ventilation shaft, then that's easy!y a decent guy, he risked his life for his girlfriend and even saved mine. The gunshot wound on his shoulder was my fault, how could I leave him behind Even though we've only known each other for a fe...
