Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

The trial space then closed.

When Jiang Luo opened his eyes again, he was already standing in front of the shattered crystal altar.

The white-haired woman was still bound within a thirty-step radius by the marriage contract chains, while the fake Jiang Luo stood on the other side of the altar, holding the Blood Moon Scythe that had been taken from him in both hands.

"You actually made it out alive?"

As the fake Jiang Luo raised his sickle, his smile was only half-revealed when the weapon began to hum on its own.

Jiang Luo raised her right hand.

Blood Moon Scythe broke free from the counterfeit's grasp, its hilt striking Jiang Luo's palm, and the Bloodthirsty Feast lit up again along the blade.

"You've been taking Lolo's things for so long, have you prepared the rent yet?"

The fake Jiang Luo took two steps back, but the crystal wall behind him rose up first, sealing off all exits.

The white-haired woman did not activate the marriage contract chains.

She stared at the newly formed mark of calamity on Jiang Luo's chest, her lips moving repeatedly, but in the end she could only squeeze out half a sentence.

"So, the marriage contract chains had mistaken someone else for someone else..."

The white-haired woman loosened her fingers, and the chains wrapped around her wrist bones slid off one by one, hitting the crystal shards scattered on the ground, the crisp sound carrying all the way to the back of the altar.

"It recognized not the thief of the contract, but the new master of the source of the calamity."

Jiang Luo gripped the Blood Moon Scythe, the bloodthirsty patterns on the blade still swirling. His red eyes passed over the woman's shoulder and fell upon the already cracked crystal altar.

All of this, including everything that happened before.

Both just a simple apology?

Was all that beating Luo Luo suffered for nothing?

Jiang Luo laughed in exasperation.

"So, how do we settle the score for whipping Lolo with the chains earlier?"

"Go find Jiang Juechen."

"It's him again?"

"The decline of Red Moon Castle, the defeat in the Battle of Twilight, and the eventual sealing of the tomb—all of these were started by him, and it is time for him to pay the price."

The white-haired woman raised her hand and pointed at Jiang Luo's chest, her fingertip stopping in front of the calamity mark. The dim light of the marriage contract flashed twice between the two of them.

"And you."

"What's wrong with Lolo?"

"He needed a body that could withstand the full source of the calamity. He didn't get one a hundred years ago, so he left his last chance here."

Jiang Luo turned his palm over, and the dark patterns from the trial were still visible on his fair fingertips. Those patterns were flowing back along his blood vessels and gradually merging into his chest.

"You mean, Lolo's been on his ledger since birth?"

"Whether he's a pawn or a successor, you'll have to ask him yourself when you see him."

"He'd better prepare 300,000 in fear points, plus 100 years of interest."

The woman's lips curved into a slight smile, which quickly faded.

"As expected, you even do the same thing when it comes to settling accounts."

She took a half step back, and the scattered crystals rose from the ground, reassembling in the center of the altar, with a dark red light shining through the cracks.

A heart rises with the light, its surface covered with patterns of calamity. With each beat, a layer of the surrounding seal is destroyed.

"The inheritance trial has recognized you; my custodianship ends here."

"What is this?"

"The Heart of Calamity".

Is it valuable?

"If Jiang Juechen were still alive, he would probably say that the entire Senate combined couldn't afford to pay the compensation."

Jiang Luo immediately reached out and took the heart into his palm.

"Then what are you waiting for? If you leave it outside and it gets lost, you can't afford to pay for it."

The Heart of Calamity pressed against the palm lines, and the black lines then passed through the arm, along the shoulder, and into the chest. The original Lord's Mark was pushed to the sides, making room for it in the center.

thump.

The altar sank an inch.

thump.

Cracks appeared in the crystal wall that had sealed the surrounding area, and the faces inside, identical to those of the white-haired woman, went dark.

The third heartbeat resounded, and a crown-shaped mark of calamity landed on Jiang Luo's head, with all the doors and windows of the Red Moon Castle responding from afar.

The fake Jiang Luo still held the afterimage of the Blood Moon Mad Scythe, half of his body already embedded in his own shadow.

"On what grounds?"

"You used Lolo's face, stole Lolo's weapons, and now you want to ask what right you have?"

Jiang Luo opened her right hand, and the real Blood Moon Scythe immediately broke free of its afterimage, its hilt passing through the altar and landing steadily in her palm.

The fake Jiang Luo stepped back, but the bloodstains left by the coffin bearing the name of Jiang Luo appeared at her feet, and Jiang Luo's name was written stroke by stroke on her chest.

Those who impersonate the disaster victim shall return the stolen goods.

Those who occupy the shadow of disaster shall return the form they have borrowed.

As the two judgments were rendered, the fake Jiang Luo's white hair first turned back into a black shadow, and then his facial features were erased, leaving only a nameless human-shaped outline.

"Wait, I also know about the final grave..."

"Information that Lolo doesn't buy counterfeit goods."

The scythe struck the ground, and the shadow was retracted by the Heart of Calamity, along with the unspoken words, and stuffed into the crack in the altar.

The surroundings quieted down, and the outline of the white-haired woman began to fade, first her fingers, then her shoulders and long hair.

"Are you merely a projection of your soul left here?"

"The main body is still down there."

"What's next?"

"You will see it when you are able to truly resist those foreign influences."

"What's the name?"

The woman looked at the thin thread of the marriage contract that had wrapped around Jiang Luo's wrist again, and a weariness in her eyes that Jiang Luo couldn't understand.

"The marriage contract will find you for me."

"Lolo asked for the name."

"We've waited a hundred years, what's a few more days?"

The soul projection scattered into white light, leaving only a broken chain ring on the altar, with a word, mostly worn away, engraved on its inner side.

Jiang Luo picked up the chain link and stuffed it into her skirt pocket.

"So, after guarding this tomb for a hundred years, all the blame will fall on Jiang Juechen, that broken metal shell?"

Jiang Luo was so angry she laughed.

Just then.

A new set of red text popped up in front of Jiang Luo's eyes.

[Warning: The Senate's accountability army has arrived at Red Moon Castle.]

Jiang Luo was slightly taken aback.

"You old wrecked metal shell, are you still there?"

The system didn't answer her question, but instead gave a cold, impersonal explanation.

[The auras of three SSS-rank Abyss Lords have been detected; Red Moon Castle is in imminent danger!]

【warn!warn!warn! 】

Realizing that the system was no longer the broken metal shell it once was, Jiang Luo became too lazy to argue with this empty shell.

She pressed the heart of calamity into her chest, and the crown mark sank into her fair skin, leaving only a dark red line under her collarbone.

"Who did Shura bring?"

[Blood Armor Lord Herman, Fire Lord Morn.]

[Nyarlathotep is sealing the Lord's Contract; the Thousand-Eyed Demon God can only maintain forty-seven compound eyes and cannot fight for long.]

"It seems the Senate is serious this time..."

Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems these eerie old fogies are really planning to go head-to-head with Red Moon Castle!

"Since you're courting death, then Lolo will grant your wish!"

The calamity patterns within Jiang Luo's body drilled into the altar, and the crystal wall in front of him split open to the sides, revealing a spiral staircase leading to the Red Moon Castle.

As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, her shadow bulged up at her feet, and Jiang Xiaobai emerged with a crooked, boyish face.

"Big sister, Xiaobai is awake."

"You came out too?"

"Little White had a dream in which it ate a lot of black things and lost its teeth. Later, its owner locked Little White in a black ball."

The whiskers curled up the hem of her skirt, and the few eyeballs at the ends looked upwards along the mark of calamity, while the corners of her mouth stretched wider and wider.

"My master smells better now."

"Dare to bite Luo Luo, and today's meal will be replaced with stones."

Jiang Xiaobai immediately shut up, but his stomach rumbled loudly.

At this moment, Jiang Luo suddenly noticed that the aura emanating from Jiang Xiaobai was almost identical to the aura emanating from her.

This means that...

Jiang Xiaobai is now a genuine SSS-level eerie entity!
