The moment they saw Xu Huo, the two couldn't wait to ask if he'd gained anything. Xu Huo shared part of the truth: first, even after entering the castle, you couldn't just wander into rooms at will—if discovered, you'd risk becoming a criminal.
Secondly, there might be players inside the castle. But he didn't clearly say there were humanoid props, only suggested that maybe this player was the one controlling the castle.
"But it's not like there's no loophole," Xu Huo glanced at their expressions and said, "One of you keeps watch, one goes into the room, and as long as you use the Teleportation Prop to leave before the guards find you, you're fine."
Hearing this, the two calmed down. If they stole something in the castle now, their identity would immediately switch to thief as soon as they left—a one-time deal. Whether they could return was questionable, and who knew if being a thief in Jewel City would prevent entry into Moon City.
