GOR Chapter 572 Phoenix’s Decision

Forbidden for Players!

Nicole’s mind raced and the expression on her face quickly changed.

Naturally, she understood the implications of those words.

“A forbidden land designated by the system?”

“No,” Tian Lie shook his head.

“… not the system?” Cold sweat oozed out from Nicole’s forehead. “Not the system? Then who else could possess the authority to make this place a forbidden land?”

“Don’t ask me, I do not know.” There was a serious expression on Tian Lie’s face. He spoke each word clearly, “Back then, ‘he’ was the one who informed me about this secret. “This forbidden land is not designated by the system. Rather, it is the custom.”

“Custom? What do you mean?”

Tian Lie gave Nicole a glance and said coolly, “It means, no one knows when it began, but whenever Players come near this place, they will inexplicably disappear.”

“… … …”

…

Chen Xiaolian pushed open the window and the cold air outside blew in. The temperature inside the room quickly fell.

As Chen Xiaolian had genetically enhanced his body before, it was only natural that he would not be affected by this drop in temperature. Rather, inhaling the cool air gave him a refreshing feeling.

Chen Xiaolian walked back to the central area of the room. He picked up the pillow from the couch, where he had slept last night, and gave it a few light pats. Then, he tossed it over onto the bed.

There on the bed, Soo Soo was already up. She wrapped the blanket over her head as she sat there. The pillow that Chen Xiaolian tossed over fell onto her head and she threw a displeased glare at Chen Xiaolian.

“Wake up, brush your teeth, wash your face and go get breakfast,” said Chen Xiaolian with a very serious tone. “We have matters to do today.”

“… oh,” Soo Soo responded with a hushed tone and obediently got up from the bed before moving into the bathroom.

Chen Xiaolian turned around and moved to stand before the window again. Looking out the window, he then stuck out his wrist and checked the time.

“There is not much time left… … will they really appear here?”

…

Phoenix stood before the mirror. She had long since gotten ready.

She had a bright red overcoat on her and looked most striking. Underneath the overcoat were two guns holstered upon her waist. There was a belt on each of her thighs and a sharp dagger was placed on each of them.

Phoenix regarded her own reflection on the mirror. She abruptly shot one hand out and a dagger that was as slender as a chopstick flew out from the sleeve. A chilling light flashed within the room as a result.

Without revealing any emotions on her face, Phoenix regarded the reflection on the mirror for one whole minute. Only then did she turn around. She casually picked up a simple looking shoulder bag that was on the sofa and strode out the room.

The moment she stepped out of her room, she saw Chen Xiaolian stepping out from the next room. Soo Soo followed behind him.

“Let us go.” Chen Xiaolian went straight to the point. After giving Phoenix a nod, he turned to the stairs and was the first to move toward it.

“Your clothes are very flashy,” said Soo Soo coolly, who raised her head to regard Phoenix as she was walking past her.

“What about it?” replied Phoenix with a light smile.

“It is very eye-catching. If a fight breaks out, it will definitely attract a great deal of attacks, a magnificent target.” After saying that, Soo Soo quickly caught up to Chen Xiaolian, leaving a dumbstruck looking Phoenix.

…

At 10 in the morning, Bran Castle was finally open to visitors and a new day began for the exhibition.

Chen Xiaolian, Soo Soo and Phoenix sat in a car in the outer area of the castle.

Soo Soo held onto a bottle of yogurt. She had, in fact, already finished the contents of the bottle long ago. However, the little girl continued biting the straw and her dark pupils kept looking at the back of Chen Xiaolian’s head.

Her gaze kept alternating between Chen Xiaolian and Phoenix.

“What is your relationship with her?”

“Mm?”

“Do you like her? Or does she like you?”

“Stop messing around!”

“Humph!”

Although no words were actually exchanged, Soo Soo and Chen Xiaolian had an unpleasant conversation through their guild channel.

“How long until that time you mentioned?” Phoenix suddenly spoke up.

“Twenty more minutes,” replied Chen Xiaolian with a frown.

“Let’s go.” Phoenix opened the car door. However, before that, she had given Chen Xiaolian a deep stare and said, “Remember your promise. This time, I help you. Next time, you help me.”

“All right.” Chen Xiaolian did not spout any nonsensical words. He too, opened the car door and got off the car.

At this moment in the morning, Bran Castle had just opened its doors. Thus, they were not many tourists here. The three of them stepped forward, moving onto the walkway leading to Bran Castle.

It was as that moment that the three of them suddenly received a prompt from the system. Immediately, a jolt ran through all three of them and they halted their steps.

The expressions on their faces had turned peculiar.
