Chapter 249 Brothers 13
Other than the paper that expanded on the background of the Xin clan, Feng Bujue did not find anything else of value in Arthur’s bedroom even though he had given the place a thorough search twice. Therefore, he could only leave the room and head to the bathroom. The bathroom on the second floor was twice as big as the one on the ground floor. There was a small cupboard above the sink and the white wooden cupboard that appeared so often in horror movies. It was placed slightly higher than one’s eye level. The door was fixed with a mirror, and everyday items like a razor, cup, and toothbrush were placed inside.
In various horror movies, the characters would be washing their hair or brushing their teeth before such cupboards. Then, the cupboard door would open and close before something scary showed up in the mirror. Combined with scary sound effects, it would scare every time, but there were no mirrors in this scenario.
Feng Bujue came to the sink, looked at the cupboard door, whose surface was sunk one centimeter, and sighed. "They removed the mirror... without even leaving a small piece behind."
He opened the cupboard. The top shelf was empty. A key was sitting alone on the lowest shelf.

"Now I have the red, blue, black, and white keys," Feng Bujue said. "Only the yellow and gray keys are left..."
His eyes drifted to the toilet.
He closed his hands together and mumbled, "Amitabha..."
Then with the wrench, he slit open the creature’s throat and started to search the body.
An atheist who would pray to Jesus sometimes and Buddha at other times was conducting an autopsy on a carcass that was not really human, just to confirm that there was nothing that he needed inside the body. If any other player was present during this moment, they would be scarred by Brother Jue.
"It’s really hidden here..." Finally, Feng Bujue managed to find the yellow key inside the carcass’ intestines like he wished. He used the wrench to fish out the key and walked to the sink to give it a good wash before putting it in the inventory. Then he placed it inside the inventory before taking it out again. Theoretically speaking, after all that he had done, there would be nothing left on the key anymore, but Feng Bujue was only willing to touch it through the protection of a glove.

Feng Bujue was too lazy to comment on the remark. It was no different from mocking. He was only missing the gray key to have the full set. So, he quickened his step. He cleaned the muck that had gotten onto his shirt and rushed to the last explorable room on the second floor.
This room was right above the empty room on the ground floor. Feng Bujue pushed open the door to be greeted by a large, blood-red alchemy circle in the room.
After just a glance, he lost control of his body. This time, he did not have a chance to use the iron rod to check for danger. He had not even stepped into the room. Just opening the door triggered the event cinematic.
