After finally waiting for the man with a ferocious face to leave, Isabel climbed out of the quilt to investigate.

Her head felt dizzy, as if there was a heavy lead weight in her head, and she felt severe pain when she moved her head even slightly. This made her dare not move too fast, and her body was so weak that she could not even stand up.

When she climbed out of bed, she almost missed her footing and fell down.

The intense fear caused her back to be soaked in cold sweat for an instant, followed by bursts of severe pain in her brain.

This made her face suddenly wrinkle and she lay on the edge of the bed and curled up into a ball.

I felt nausea in my stomach, and the skin and bones on my body felt a slight pain all the time. Even if I touched it with my hands, it would only become more painful.

"……it hurts."

She murmured quietly and got up.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning fell outside.

The next moment, the candles in the room suddenly went out without any wind. At the same time, the window was suddenly pushed open by the wind, and the sound of the howling rain suddenly became louder.

She subconsciously wanted to scream, but Isabel endured it.

——It's useless to scream anyway. Don't be embarrassed, Isabel...he won't die anyway.

She said to herself fiercely in her heart.

This time, no one can help her. Isabel has no idea which level Aiwass and Sherlock are on... If they were on a lower level than her, they wouldn't be able to help her at all.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, there must be no one else on her current level.

And it doesn't matter even if you die, it's just falling one level. Although Isabel doesn't really understand what she should do, she at least understands the rules - she can't appear on the zero level, so even if she dies,

It doesn't matter.

And if you are on a low floor, someone should come down soon. If you haven't seen anyone yet, it means you may be on a high floor.

——So what she has to do is to do her best to investigate while holding on as long as possible.

Maybe there is something that only her level can see.

"...At least, I can't be a burden."

Isabel gritted her teeth, covered her head, and stood up unsteadily.

Originally, her last advancement ceremony did not involve anyone - it was just that she was lucky enough to meet Aiwass and Sherlock, and they happened to decide to help her.

That is their kindness and their good luck. But that is not a natural protection.

They cannot protect themselves forever, and one day they will have to walk on their own.

...My grandmother will eventually die, and I will succeed to the throne.

She doesn't know when she will become the queen - compared to the nightmare where it doesn't matter if she dies, the reality is that there is no chance to come back again, a promotion ceremony with nightmare level difficulty!

Can't let Aivas down!

"If you want to die... you should try your best and not directly commit suicide to seek help..."

Thinking this, Isabel stumbled towards the pushed-open window.

The heavy rain outside soaked Isabel in an instant. And she first wanted to close the window, but found that she couldn't reach the window at all - it might be possible if she stepped on a stool, but she wasn't sure she could stand firmly now, and she wasn't sure.

Will you fall down?

At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened and she discovered something.

That was something she had to walk to the window in the heavy rain to see——

I saw the stars in the sky outside the window shining brightly and dimly, as if they vaguely formed some words.

She stood there in the heavy rain and looked at it intently for a long time. Her whole body was completely soaked by the rain, and she finally understood the word.

That's not a word, but the number "201".

Starlight is guiding her to Room 201!

Isabel cheered up.

She hastily wiped her face with a towel. She had no clothes to change, so she could only hold her body that was soaked by the rain and stumbled out of the house.

As she started walking, she realized that she was so dizzy that she was even a little unbalanced. Isabel took two quick steps and almost hit the door handle.

Realizing that her health was worse than she thought, she became more cautious and walked step by step while holding on to the wall.

Her steps became weaker and weaker, and her eyes became blurry.

The storm was beating against the window, and there were faint sounds of little girls singing, quarreling, loud noises of something falling on the ground, and women's screams. But Isabel couldn't tell whether it was her hallucination at all, she just

I feel that my consciousness has become a little blurry, and the world is spinning in front of my eyes.

There was only a short walk from Room 202 to Room 201, but she walked for a long time.

——Is this really just a cold and fever?

Isabel had such doubts in her heart.

She walked to room 201 and was about to stand on tiptoes to pull the door handle.

But at this moment, the door handle moved on its own. Then the old door squeaked and opened on its own.

Isabel immediately held her breath and her heartbeat stopped. Her whole figure stood motionless as if under a restraining spell.

——Is there anyone inside?

But after a long time, she didn't hear any sound coming from inside. Even the singing, noise and loud noises disappeared. Only the roaring sound of rain and the constant flapping of the windows by the wind were left.

There was an irregular collision sound.

She gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. As soon as she let go, the door closed with a bang.

The house was pitch dark, with no sign of anyone living there. But even so, she felt even more weird.

Even if someone suddenly rushes out and kills me...

Just then, another thunder struck.

Through the flash of lightning, she could clearly see a little blond girl with a purple complexion standing outside the window.

——But this is the second floor.

Isabel finally screamed.

She immediately turned back, jumped up and pulled the door handle. But the door seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't open it even after pulling it several times.

She suddenly used force and pulled down the door handle. She opened the door and was about to rush out——

But what was outside the door was not a corridor at all, but a sealed red brick wall. She hit the wall, and the skin on her body became more painful, and even the arm she subconsciously blocked in front of her was scratched a little.

.

She turned around again in horror and found that the girl outside the window had disappeared.

The house was empty again.

Isabel swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down.

She had a vague suspicion, closed the door again, and then opened it again.

This time the door changed again - it turned into an upward staircase.

This time Isabel was not in a hurry to go out, so she opened the door and boldly went to the window.

She pressed against the window and looked for a long time. She found that there was indeed nothing outside.

And through the lightning that lit up from time to time outside the house, she could vaguely see the furnishings inside the house - different from the room 202 she rented, this place had a more living atmosphere. Specifically, there were some books scattered messily on the table.

, and a somewhat worn stuffed bear.

If the people here disappeared a long time ago, then these things should have been packed away.

Isabel walked over cautiously, reached out and touched the books. She found that there was no dust on the books.

She picked up the only open book and waited by the window for the lightning to fall.

After a while, as the electric light fell - she saw the cover of the book clearly.

"..."The Wise Man in the Oak"."

She frowned and murmured: "This is Merlin's story."

Isabel has read this book.

This book tells the story of Merlin, the apostle of Weizhe now, who was once imprisoned in an oak tree by his ex-girlfriend Vivian when he was a human.

He could hear everything outside and speak. But he could not come out or cast spells. The oak tree that sealed him was extremely hard. Even with an axe, he could not cut through the oak tree and rescue him.

So he was regarded as the "inner spirit" of the oak tree.

People heard that there was a wise and spiritual oak tree here, so they came from all directions to ask him questions. Later, a knight who traveled with a red-handled holy sword traveled here and thought it was an evil oak tree that could confuse people's hearts, so he

The sword cut the oak tree in half, but accidentally released Merlin.

Merlin was grateful to this knight and took him back to Lancelot. He became a Knight of the Round Table and the ancestor of the founding family "Camelot".

——But as a descendant of Lancelot, Isabel certainly knew that this book was wrong.
