Unintentionally transmigrated into a background villainess role, Yu Qing feels this is right up her alley – torturing the male lead and main heroine has to be fun, right?

But before she cou...

Chapter 193 Falling Flower Cave Girl 27: The Secret of the Girls' Dormitory Dungeon

Yan Qing was talking to Sun Ning when he suddenly shouted, startling her. After understanding what he said, she was both amused and exasperated.

"Guo Hu, are you sure you've got the right person? I'm not Zhang Nana."

"No!" Guo Hu jumped up on the spot. "You are, I'm absolutely certain, you are Zhang Nana from the girls' dormitory!"

Before Yan Qing could react, Su Su was the first to jump out and deliver a devastating blow.

"I've said it so many times, she's not Zhang Nana at all. Sun Ning can testify to that. Didn't the Zhang Nana we saw already draw for you? Why are you still acting so stupid?"

Guo Hu was in pain from the beating, and although he stopped talking, his expression was still quite defiant.

"Oh?" Yan Qing also became interested. "I've been to the girls' dormitory instance too. Do you have a portrait of Zhang Nana? Can I take a look?"

Su Su glared at Guo Hu, then took out the sketch she had drawn and handed it to Yan Qing.

The sketch was drawn very simply and crudely, but Yan Qing still recognized it at a glance as Zhang Nana, whom she had seen in the girls' dormitory.

"That's true. I've also been to the girls' dormitory instance, and Zhang Nana really does look like that."

Her words made Guo Hu's face fall even more.

"Could it be that my memory is really faulty? That's impossible!!" Guo Hu began to doubt himself.

However, Guo Hu's words did catch her attention, and Yan Qing shifted her focus to Guo Hu.

"You mean, the Zhang Nana you saw in the girls' dormitory looks exactly like me?"

Guo Hu nodded dejectedly, looking at her with a resentful expression.

"Hey, can you stop being so stubborn?" Su Su really wanted to punch him again. Why was this guy so fixated on Sister Yan?

Yan Qing stood to the side, resting her chin on her hand. Guo Hu's insistence made her think of something.

"Wait a minute—Guo Hu, I'm asking you, was the girls' dormitory the first instance you entered?"

Yan Qing suddenly asked a question that completely caught Guo Hu off guard. He instinctively answered,

"No, the girls' dormitory is my second instance. The first instance I entered was called the Supermarket, which was also a one-star instance."

Yan Qing turned to Su Su, "And what about you?"

"Sister Yan, my first dungeon is the girls' dormitory," Su Su quickly stated, and also answered for Sun Ning, "Sun Ning too."

Yan Qing laughed, "What a coincidence, me too. Not only that, I was also the first person to clear it with an S rank. However, the girls' dormitory is a one-star dungeon, so there's not much difference between clearing it with an S rank and clearing it with a normal rank."

Su Su instantly became a little fangirl, "Wow, Sister Yan, you're so amazing!" She turned her head and started to worry again, "Did Sister Yan also receive an invitation?"

“Yes!” Yan Qing nodded. “However, my invitation was forcibly bound when the girls’ dormitory instance was released. What about yours?”

She desperately needed to know why these adventurers had returned. "Could it be that you also cleared the dungeon with an S-rank?"

"No!" Su Su shook her head vigorously. "I only cleared the game at B level. Sun Ning is better than me; he cleared it at A level. We both suddenly received this invitation a couple of days ago, and it's an invitation that can't be refused, otherwise it's considered a failure and we'll be eliminated."

Yan Qing's expression turned serious, a strong sense of conspiracy emanating from her. She glanced at Sun Ning, who seemed lost in thought behind Su Su, and unexpectedly asked a question.

"What do you think, Sun Ning?"

Sun Ning, despite being called out by her, showed no sign of panic. Instead of directly stating his guess, he asked Yan Qing a question.

"Excuse me for asking, have you seen Zhang Nana?"

"You're indeed a smart man!" Yan Qing didn't hide anything from him. "That's true."

"Does the Zhang Nana you saw look exactly like you?"

When Sun Ning said this, Su Su and Guo Hu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. What were these two saying?! They couldn't understand a word they were hearing.

“That’s right, that’s exactly it. And one of my targets in the dungeon is Zhang Nana.” Yan Qing didn’t intend to hide anything and told him the truth.

Sun Ning frowned even more deeply. "The instant all the white-clad maids disappeared yesterday, all the other adventurers failed their missions and died. But we are absolutely certain that everyone communicated and no one actually received a notification to enter the instance, so how can there be any talk of failure?"

"So, I guessed at the time that there should be a second instance here at the same time, and all of us are just pawns in this instance—to put it bluntly, we might not even be pawns. And the real breakthrough was you, the only one who had contact with you, Su Su, successfully opened the instance."

He paused, looking at the parchment in his hand with a complicated expression, and said with a wry smile,

"Now you even have the 'Zhang Family Old House Rules.' Combined with the system notification we heard yesterday, I can't help but suspect that this invitation to the Zhang Family Old House Fire Festival is a complete scam, designed to lure us here with no intention of getting us out of the way, right?"

His explanation was similar to Yan Qing's guess: "I remember you said that yesterday the system told you the way to pass the level was in the 'Zhang Family Old House Rules.' Now, you can take a look at that so-called 'Zhang Family Old House Rules' and see if there's a way out."

Sun Ning opened the "Rules of the Zhang Family Old House" in his hand, his brows furrowing even more deeply.
