Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Shi Qi said: "We didn't come in together, we just came in at about the same time. There is still a difference."

Bian Tingchu frowned, carefully recalling every detail of entering the castle, trying to find evidence to prove or refute Shi Qi's hypothesis. She said slowly: "Okay! Maybe "it" wants us to kill each other."

Shi Qi nodded, his expression solemn: "I think so too. This copy seems to have its own consciousness. "It" is controlling us, making us panic and chaotic, so as to achieve a certain purpose."

Bian Tingchu sighed, looking somewhat helpless: "Then what should we do? If this is really the case, then aren't we just its pawns?"

Shi Qi said: "How could that be? From the moment you came in, you have become a chess piece. The only difference is: you are a chess piece or a chess player."

"You're right. We can't be controlled by 'it'. We must be the ones who control our own destiny." Bian Tingchu clenched his fists, his tone full of determination. "Since 'it' wants us to kill each other, then we must unite and fight this copy together."

Shi Qi nodded, "Okay."

Then, they began to combine the clues they had obtained, eliminate the erroneous information, and roughly guessed the truth.

After an intense and meticulous analysis, Shi Qi and Bian Tingchu discovered that all the clues seemed to point to an ancient and mysterious legend - this castle was once the residence of a powerful wizard, who used his magic to imprison countless dead souls here in order to seek eternal life.

However, the wizard's plan ultimately failed, and his soul was trapped in the castle forever, becoming the castle's guardian, or... controller.

"It seems that our mission is to find the key items left by the wizard, free the souls from his bondage, and free the castle." Shi Qi concluded, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Bian Tingchu nodded in agreement, but then showed a worried look: "But how do we know which clue is true and which is false? 'It' has been deliberately confusing us."

Shi Qi: "This requires us to use our own wisdom to distinguish. Remember, although the clues may change, there is only one truth. We must trust our intuition and find the unchanging core."

Bian Tingchu thought of the housekeeper Lu Li and asked, "Do you think that Lu Li could be the wizard?"

Shi Qi shook his head and said affirmatively, "Although Lu Li's behavior is a bit strange, I can feel that he is not that wizard. The power of a wizard is far stronger and more complex than Lu Li's. He is still a little weak..."

Bian Tingchu frowned slightly and continued to think: "Then how can we find the key item left by this wizard? This castle is so big and the clues are so confusing. We are like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Shi Qi comforted him, "Don't worry, Bian Tingchu. Although the clues are confusing, as long as we stay calm and observe carefully, we will definitely find the connection between the clues. Moreover, I think that the key item is likely hidden in a place we have been to but have not explored carefully."

Bian Tingchu's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "Yes! We may have been too nervous before and didn't pay attention to some details. This time, we must search carefully and not miss any corner."

Therefore, Shi Qi and Bian Tingchu decided to go deeper into the castle again. This time, they would observe every detail more meticulously and not miss any possible clues.

They first returned to the study they had visited before, which was filled with ancient books and scrolls.

This time, they did not rush to flip through the books, but patiently observed the layout of the bookshelf and the arrangement of the books.

Suddenly, Bian Tingchu found a seemingly ordinary book with a slightly raised cover, as if it was hiding some secret.

"Look at this book. Is there anything different?" Bian Tingchu said to Shi Qi, pointing at the book.

Shi Qi took a closer look and indeed found something unusual. She carefully opened the book and found a yellowed parchment inside. There were some strange symbols and patterns drawn on the paper, which seemed to be an ancient spell.

"This...is this a wizard's spell?" Shi Qi asked in surprise.

Bian Tingchu carefully examined the parchment and nodded: "It is very likely. It seems that we have found an important clue."

They continued their search and found a hidden drawer in a corner of the study. In the drawer was a rusty key and a piece of paper with numbers written on it.

"What can this key be used to open?" Bian Tingchu asked puzzledly.

Shi Qi took the key and looked at it carefully: "I don't know, but we can try to find a matching lock."

They took the key and parchment, left the study, and began to look for clues throughout the castle. After some effort, they finally found an ancient treasure chest in a secret room, and the keyhole of the treasure chest perfectly matched the key in their hands.

"That's it!" Bian Tingchu shouted excitedly.

They carefully opened the treasure chest, and inside was a crystal ball. The crystal ball seemed to contain powerful magic power, which made people feel awed.

"This... is this the key item left by the wizard?" Bian Tingchu said in surprise.

Shi Qi nodded and looked at the crystal ball. "It should be correct. This is what we are looking for. As long as we can free the dead souls, the castle will be free again."

Then, Shi Qi lowered his voice and complained quietly: "Why are there so many crystal balls? How much do the people on this island like crystal balls? They are everywhere."

When Bian Tingchu heard Shi Qi's complaints, he couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe this crystal ball is the key to solving all the mysteries in this instance, just like the magic props in fairy tales."

Shi Qi also smiled. She picked up the crystal ball and looked at it carefully: "So what should we do next? We can't just drop the crystal ball, right?"

Bian Tingchu thought for a moment and said, "We have to find a way to use this crystal ball. I think, since it was left by a wizard, there should be records about it in the study."

So, the two began to look through the books again, and after a hard search, they finally found the record about the crystal ball in a thick magic book.

“Look here!” Bian Tingchu pointed to a paragraph of text on the page and said, “The book says that this crystal ball is the source of the wizard’s magic power. To release it from the bondage of the dead souls, you must engrave a specific spell on the crystal ball and then place it at the highest point of the castle so that the sunlight can shine directly on it.”

Shi Qi nodded, she looked at the crystal ball in her hand and said, "Then let's act quickly. Carve the spell and then place the crystal ball at the highest point of the castle."

However, just as they were about to leave the secret room, a sinister voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Do you think you can escape my control like this?"

Shi Qi and Bian Tingchu turned around suddenly and saw a figure in a black robe slowly walking out of the darkness. He was wearing a hideous mask on his face, making it difficult to see his true face.

"You...you are the wizard?" Shi Qi asked with a strange look on his face.

The wizard did not answer, but smiled coldly. He waved the magic wand in his hand, and suddenly, the whole castle began to shake violently.

Shi Qi looked at him and asked, "When did you become a wizard? And you're wearing a mask, do you think I don't know you?"

Bian Tingchu nervously stood in front of Shi Qi, staring at the mysterious black-robed wizard warily, and asked in a trembling voice: "You... who are you? Why are you trying to stop us?"

The black-robed wizard let out a deep laugh, like a whimper in the night wind, which made people shudder. "Foolish human, you don't understand the secret of this castle at all. The crystal ball is the source of my power. Do you think you can free me with your power? How ridiculous!"

Bian Tingchu frowned and looked at the wizard firmly, his tone filled with unquestionable determination: "No matter who you are, we will not give up. This castle and the souls inside need freedom, we can't let your evil plan succeed!"
