Chapter 135: Finally Obtaining the Hell Puzzle Box

Noshil closed the box and turned his head to look at Duke Vansample again. He thought for a while while looking at the sleeping Duke, but in the end he did nothing. Instead, he turned around and transformed into a little devil, taking the items away one by one.

Duke Vansample was now powerless to fight back. Noshil thought about whether to take this opportunity to kill her directly, but after thinking about it, the answer was no.

There was a certain reason because of her identity as a duke. If the duke suddenly died because of him before getting definite evidence, it would be difficult for Noshil to explain even if he was right.

After all, no matter how terrible the duke's conspiracy was, she was still the duke of this city before she had a definite implementation plan. As long as she was the duke, she had to go through the relevant legal procedures of Baldur's Gate to finally convict her. If an outsider really did something like murdering the duke...

He didn't know what would happen specifically, but it was definitely a thankless task. Moreover, even if she didn't consider her identity as a duke, just saying that she cooperated with Zariel... No, it should be loyalty. Since she pledged loyalty, the ownership of her soul no longer belonged to him.

As long as the Duke dies, she will be dragged down to hell by the contract, and as soon as she goes to hell, Zariel will know that her back-up plan in Baldur's Gate has failed.

Noshiel doesn't know how Zariel will react, but this will undoubtedly add a lot of unknown troubles to his subsequent trip to hell, so he must try to avoid this risk. The best result is naturally not to show up in front of the Duke, find evidence, and then let the Flame Fist solve the rest.

After placing these small objects, Noshiel ran towards the final destination. According to Gargos's information, the Hell Puzzle Box should be in that room.

He climbed out of the elevator while keeping invisible. The layout of this room is similar to the previous ones. In addition to the fixed furniture, the only extra things are the four little devils hidden in various corners.

The presence of these little devils will greatly restrict his actions, and he must find a way to solve this problem.

In fact, at this point, he no longer needs to hide too cautiously. Now he can take some slightly more radical actions, such as using physical means to make the originally sleeping Seswell VanSample sleep deeper, and kill the little devils wandering in the room in a short time, so that they have no chance to tip off, and then immediately look for the Hell Puzzle Box, and then return to the basement to get a few boxes of treasures after finding it, and finally drag Tavis away directly.

Although it is easy to say, it is still quite difficult to do this. Although Noshier knows where these little devils are hiding through the induction of the helmet, their positions are too scattered, and even he can't kill them instantly across several positions in a short time.

However, after a period of careful observation, Noshier still thought of a feasible solution.

Still maintaining invisibility, he quietly touched a little devil hiding in the stone fireplace. The little devil looked a little tired. Yes, he could see him directly. Noshier didn't know why the little devil didn't hide, but it didn't matter.

The reason why Noshier chose him was entirely because of his location. This fireplace could block the vision of other little devils, and the little devil in the fireplace only needed to stick his head out to see the other two of the three little devils. It was precisely because of this unique location that this little devil became Noshier's first target.

Noshier passed by him silently, and finally came behind him, and then silently raised the poison needle behind his tail.

Don't get me wrong, the real killer move is not the toxin in the tail. All devils have a very high toxin resistance. Simple toxins, even the colorless and odorless sleep toxins like the Breath of Vignan, are difficult to knock them down, not to mention that Noshier is just a little devil now, and for the little devils, the toxins from the same race are the least worrying poisons, they have a high enough resistance to ignore this poison.

However, although the poison in the tail may not work, the lethality of this stinger should not be underestimated, especially for the little devil. As a miniature devil whose wingspan is no more than 3 feet (1 meter), this little monster's vitality is really fragile.

Noshier only needs to pierce the needle on the tail into their central nervous system, and then gently stir it, and this poor little monster will be directly paralyzed. It is only a matter of time before it enters the state of death without knowing it.

Noshier's tail traced the crouching little devil. He was looking for a place where he could kill it directly with one blow, and he soon found it.

The little devil who was squatting bored suddenly widened his eyes. He was attacked. The lower half of the back of the head of this poor guy was pierced by a stinger in an instant, but because the angle of the attack was too tricky, he lost control of his body in almost an instant, and could only be carried back to the depths of the fireplace by the tail powerlessly, lying silently in a dark corner.

The lower part of the little devil's head was the target he deliberately chose to attack. There was no bone defense in that area and at the same time it was close to the nerve center. As long as he acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, he could easily kill the enemy in an instant.

Then he did the same thing and dealt with the two little devils under the desk and on the chandelier. One was thrown into the corner as before, and the other was hung directly on the chandelier.

Now there was only one little devil hiding under the bedside table. This little devil had no idea that in less than two minutes, his other three companions had died silently. Without any vigilance, he had undoubtedly been sentenced to death. In less than five seconds, this little thing would follow his companions to hell.

Noshier threw the last corpse on his tail casually. He was not worried that these little guys would let Zariel know what happened here after returning to hell. After being reborn in the Styx, they would not remember anything. In fact, even if they remembered these experiences, Zariel would not remember an unknown person like the little devil.

After clearing the obstacles, Noshier took the Breath of Vignan again. The continuous use in a short period of time had caused the effect of this bottle of medicine to begin to fade, but the only remaining point could still allow this seemingly weak guy to sleep until dawn.

Putting the almost ineffective bottle back into the elevator tunnel, Noshier immediately began to look for the Hell Puzzle Box. After searching through boxes and cabinets, he finally found the target in the drawer under the desk.

"Finally found you, little thing."
