I might be the only gun user in the wizarding world, right?

After hearing Zero's words, I breathed a sigh of relief. Since Zero said so, it means that there is no danger within 50 meters.

"Then let's keep looking for that key, find it quickly, and get out of this ghostly place quickly."

[Do you want to use [-] exchange points to exchange for the "infrared" night vision device? 】

"Infrared night vision device? Can I exchange for this kind of thing?"

【Need [-] exchange points】

Infrared night vision devices can be said to be very useful for the current situation, but I haven't used that kind of thing yet and don't know how effective it is.

If you use the night vision device, the lantern in your hand is useless, you can put it in the warehouse first, and then return it to the people in the reward hall.

"Exchange it, I need this item."

As soon as I finished my words, I felt the top of my head sink, and the things I saw were covered with a layer of green. On the contrary, I could see all the objects within a hundred meters around me clearly.

"This! This is great!"

I said in surprise, I didn't expect that after the exchange, I put it on my head directly, like a mask with an elastic band wrapped around my head, like a telescope fixed on my eyes.

However, in order to exchange it, I used up [-] exchange points, which made me feel a little distressed, but the exchange points can be earned again. If the current task is completed, it will also be a lot of money.

Put the lantern into the warehouse, and look around with infrared night vision goggles.

This time there is no darkness that can stop my footsteps, and it is clearer than the infrared night vision devices I have seen in TV movies and games. Thinking about it, the things made by God are definitely not comparable to those.

[How effective is it? 】

"Wonderful, if not for this layer of green, you know, what green symbolizes in my country is not very pleasant"

[Some are good enough to use, but I’m still picky and picky]

"You can't say that! I spent exchange points, so I should be a consumer! Isn't it natural for consumers to evaluate products?"

[If you are not satisfied, you can return the product, but the exchange point cannot be returned to you]

"Are you kidding me!"

After talking to Zero, I walked to the previous position and continued to explore inside.

Hopefully there won't be any ghosts or anything like that, and hope they've all gone to see God the old man.

"Follow this road, there will be a big bath ahead... Ah, there it is!"

In front of me is the bathing pool in the castle. From the perspective of luxury, the previous owner of this castle was very luxurious.

However, the luxurious decoration is almost weathered. I have to take a closer look. If there are gold or gemstones inlaid, I must knock them down and take them away.

Just as I was busy by the pool, there were footsteps.

"Eh?"

Startled, I looked up.

On the other side of the passage, a figure walked past.

My heart was lifted to the side of my throat at once.

what is that! ?what is that! ?Is it a ghost? ?What will appear in this kind of place is not a ghost! ?

【Your heart rate is too fast】

"Zero zero zero zero!! Come on, tell me, is that a ghost!?"

[Ghosts don’t have footsteps. In other words, they don’t have a body at all, so the other party is not a ghost, at least it is a physical existence. I don’t know whether it is a living thing]

Zero explained it to me, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. It’s easy to say that it’s not a ghost. If it’s a ghost, I really can’t do anything about it. You have to be able to hit it with a gun!

"In that case... then let's go and have a look!"

I gritted my teeth, cheered myself up, and said.

Regardless of what the other party is doing here, if I want to continue looking for keys in this castle, it is too dangerous to leave such an unstable factor, at least I have to figure out what it is.

"Follow quietly..."

I tiptoed after him, hiding behind the wall and sticking out my head.

It really looked like a person, wearing a cloak, walking to the depths of the castle.

I'm not sure what the other party is doing here, but looking at it, it doesn't seem to be blocked by the darkness, and it doesn't have any lighting tools.

[What should I do next?Do you want to find a way to get it here?Or do you want to follow behind it to see what it wants to do? 】

I thought to myself.

[I think it will be safer to follow behind it]

【Is it?Then I will follow it to see the situation first! 】

After getting Zero's suggestion, I nodded, quietly followed behind it, and moved forward slowly.

Followed it for such a long distance that I almost lost track of where I was going, and luckily there was a map so I wouldn't get completely lost, but it made me wonder what this man was trying to do.

It's like a walk, seemingly aimless.

Could it be possible! ?

Could it be that it found me and planned to get rid of me! ?

I was taken aback. I didn't make any sound just now, and stepped very lightly. Was this also discovered?

"Thump, thump, thump!"

That person ran suddenly when I was stunned, and quickly disappeared around the corner in front of me.

#23 Shirley

The figure disappeared around the corner in front of me, and I frowned slightly.

really!I've been spotted!

Get a pistol out of the store in case you need it.

I followed up quickly, and when I turned the corner, I suddenly felt a strong wind blowing on me!

In an instant, my feet left the ground, my whole body was swept up by the wind, the surrounding scenery retreated rapidly, and severe pain came from my back.

"Wow!"

My body slammed into the wall hard, and I could clearly feel the cracks in the wall behind me, which shows how heavy the impact was.

If my body hadn't been strengthened, I'm afraid my internal organs would have been crushed, right?

After hitting the wall, the wind died down and I fell off the wall onto the floor with the pistol slipping aside.

"Chen Tong?"

When I fell to the ground, a familiar voice came from my ear.

"You are Chen Tong? Why did you come to this kind of place?"

"This voice... Shirley!?"

The voice sounded again, and I recognized the person in front of me, it was Shirley!That Shirley Christina!

I struggled to get up from the ground, and the face of Shirley I saw through the night vision device was full of doubts.

"Why are you here?!"

"That's what I want to ask you! Why are you here?"

I asked back dissatisfied.

I didn't expect to see a suspicious figure, and after chasing it, it turned out to be an acquaintance, and this acquaintance even used magic to shoot me on the wall.

Look back at this wall!There are cracks all over the place!How hard did it have to be to knock it out?

Oh wait, it shouldn't collapse, right?

"Oh... I came here looking for something, how about you?"

She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and said.

"I'm here to find something too! But you're not an adventurer registered in the bounty hall, so you shouldn't have accepted the quest to come here, right? What are you looking for?"

"Ah~ That's a long story, what are you looking for here?"

"Key! I don't know which bastard left the key here. I want to find the key and bring it back. The reward is quite high...Ah! It hurts!"

I spread my hands, and I couldn't straighten up because I pulled the place where I just hit.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You followed me like that, and I didn't look back at you. How could I know who you are? I had to lure you over first and then subdue you! Otherwise, who knows if it's an enemy?"

"Really, then there's no need to strike so hard as soon as we meet, right? If it were someone with a weak body, I'm afraid it would have been sacrificed by your hands!"

I said dissatisfied.

"Sorry! I'm really sorry! I'll treat you to a big meal when I get back!"

Shirley clasped her hands together and said very sincerely.

"By the way, what did you mean when you said you thought I was an enemy? Are there any monsters around here?"

I remembered what Shirley said just now, and asked.

"Of course! This is a famous castle haunted by monsters!"

"Eh?"

I froze for a moment, Shirley's tone was as if this was information that everyone knew, but I didn't know!

"Is there a monster? Why didn't I see it? What monster made you so nervous? It couldn't be a very strong monster, right?"

"Well, it's very strong. It's hard to deal with me who is so strong. If we really meet the strongest one, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to run?"

Shirley's indifferent look made me suspect that she was simply lying to me.

"It's so scary, so what are you looking for here?"

"Remember my birthday friend Xiao Mu?"

"Remember!"

"The two of us have explored here before, and we encountered powerful monsters. As a powerful magician, of course I don't have to be afraid of them! But Xiaomu is not that strong, but was hurt by the monster's attack. I was hurt, so I still feel sorry for her. I said that I would come here to explore, because I didn’t protect her well and she got hurt.”

"Hmm... well-founded and convincing! But you haven't told me what you're looking for here yet."

"Didn't I finish this!? It was very difficult for me to take the injured Kogi out while resisting the attack of monsters! Because of the attacks of a large number of monsters, I accidentally left my mother behind. I lost my crystal here.”

crystal!

After these two words came out of Shirley's mouth, what came to my mind was the "red crystal" in the mission description!

It should be the crystal Shirley lost here, right?

No wonder Mira went into Shirley's room and couldn't find it. It turned out that she was left here.

"In that case, I'll help you find it!"

I said to Shirley.

"Eh? Why? You should have no reason to help me find it! You just came to complete the task in the Reward Hall, and I did something to you just now..."

"Why? Do you still need to ask? You helped Mira and me before, which is enough reason for me to help you. Why are there so many?"

Although it is one of my goals to find that crystal and complete the system task, even if there is no such task, I will help Shirley. After all, Shirley is kind to me and Mira, and let us live in her for the past two days. home.

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Let's go find it. Maybe while we're looking for your crystal, we'll also find the key I'm looking for. Kill two birds with one stone. Everyone's happy, right?"

"……alright, I got it!"

Shirley didn't refuse anymore, nodded and followed.

"Speaking of which, I've been wanting to ask since just now, what are you wearing on your face? The big ones... are they glasses?"

Walking around in the castle, Shirley asked suddenly.

Does she mean the infrared night vision goggles I wear on my head?

"Hmm...how should I explain this? If I had to say it, it would be considered a kind of glasses, right? They allow me to see things around me clearly in a dark environment."

"Eh? Is it a magic item? But I didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power on it. Is it some kind of high-level magic? If there is magic of this level, why couldn't you and Mira get money before?"
