Chapter 29, Dealing with the Enemy

What worried Zhong Bingxuan even more was that she pushed open the door without any fear in her heart, her mind solely focused on the portrait painting, and ended up dying without even a chance to recover.

If even the prerequisites for death change, the danger level of this instance will increase infinitely, and the player's survival rate will be even lower.

"My dear girl, what are you doing standing at the door? Is it because Wang Jingzhu and Wang Boyang won't allow you to come see me? It's clearly their fault, why won't they let me see my daughter?"

The dancer's words contained a lot of information. Given that the stepmother's name was Wang Jingjing, the second sister's name was Wang Shixuan, and the father's name was Wang Boyang, the only woman related to the father was the original owner's mother, Wang Jingzhu.

Does this woman mean that the original owner was her daughter, and that Wang Jingzhu and Wang Boyang fought over a dancer's child? Or does she mean that Wang Boyang had an affair with the dancer? If it's the latter, then the original owner's mother's death might not have been an accident; it's more likely that it was caused by someone.

“My dear girl, my sweetheart, sob sob... Why don’t you recognize your mother? My heart is full of bitterness. For many years, I have even hated my own daughter and refused to acknowledge her as my mother.”

Upon hearing the dancer's words, Zhong Bingxuan knew she couldn't call her "mother." The earlier warning had also indirectly reminded her not to call her that. It would be better to ignore it, but if she couldn't ignore it, she had to make it all seem like an illusion.

If the original owner's fifth rule of role-playing was true, then what happened when she pushed open the door and died instantly?

Wait a minute, why did the dancer mention Wang Jingzhu and Wang Boyang just now? If the original owner's mother was named Wang Jingzhu, then it might be because of her impersonating the former wife earlier. But what about Wang Boyang?

Given that Zhong Bingxuan was instantly killed outside the door, she had reason to suspect that Wang Boyang was waiting outside.

If the person who leaves is the original owner of this body, they might die, but what if the person who leaves is the former wife?

However, Zhong Bingxuan knew too little about the original owner's mother. She could still pretend to be innocent in front of the ghost servant, but she might be exposed as soon as she met Wang's father, her husband. Zhong Bingxuan guessed that this might be the reason why she was bound to die when she went out.

"Daughter, daughter, look at the clothes your mother prepared for you, aren't they beautiful?"

The dancer picked up a beautiful red wedding dress and waved it in front of Zhong Bingxuan. Zhong Bingxuan glanced at it and dared not look any longer. The beautiful red wedding dress had a magical power that made anyone who saw it want to wear it.

In the supernatural film set, a red wedding dress always represents misfortune, and the warning sound also reminds her that the dancer herself is dangerous, so it's best to avoid contact with this red wedding dress if possible.

If going outside means certain death, then could we perhaps look for a secret passage within the room?

[WARNING! WARNING! Danger approaching, please move away as soon as possible.]

At this moment, the warning sounded again. Zhong Bingxuan was completely confused. She had clearly been standing still and hadn't done anything. How could she have triggered the death condition again?

Zhong Bingxuan's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She felt that she had misunderstood something. The source of danger warned of by the dangerous prophecy did not seem to be the dancer, but something else entirely.

That eerie creature might be lurking outside the door, waiting for Zhong Bingxuan, ready to break in at any moment.

Just now, she guessed that the person outside the door was the original owner's father, Wang Boyang. His attitude towards the original owner was completely different from last night. Tonight, Wang's father had a deep murderous intent towards Wang Qiuling. Zhong Bingxuan was killed as soon as she stepped out of the door, which shows that there is something wrong.

However, the matter got stuck here. As the head of the Wang family, if Wang's father wanted to kill her, why didn't he just come in? Why did he have to wait outside and kill Zhong Bingxuan, who was impersonating Wang Qiuling, after she came out?

Could it be that they really can't confirm whether Zhong Bingxuan is Wang Jingzhu, Wang Boyang's ex-wife, and are worried about killing the wrong person?

While pondering a solution, Zhong Bingxuan tiptoed around the room, searching for any way to survive.

"I'm so tired, my daughter. It's late, and I want to sleep. You should rest early too."

As soon as the dancer said this, a loud banging sound began outside the door. By the time Zhong Bingxuan realized something was wrong, Wang's father had already broken down the door and entered.

"Wang Qiuling, what are you doing in your second sister's room?"

The alarm blared wildly in her ears, and Zhong Bingxuan felt like crying. She realized that her scumbag father, Wang Boyang, was too afraid to come in, and that his mistress hadn't rested and didn't want to show her ugly side in front of the beauty.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be Wang Jingzhu, the original owner's mother. Otherwise, given Wang Boyang's intense killing intent towards her, Zhong Bingxuan had no doubt that he would kill her even if it meant mutual destruction.

"Wang Boyang, you bastard, how dare you curse me..."

As soon as Zhong Bingxuan uttered those words, she was attacked by a large cloud of black mist and fell into a daze. She could not concentrate and only vaguely heard Wang Boyang say, "Wang Qiuling, you unfilial daughter, how dare you impersonate your mother? When has your mother ever been so nice to me?"

[Five seconds before the rewind, the pain of death was multiplied fivefold.]

Then Zhong Bingxuan felt a pain all over her body as if it were being swallowed by something. Compared to the first time when it was just a needle prick, this time the pain was extremely intense, like sulfuric acid corroding the human body.

The pain was so intense that Zhong Bingxuan, who had just regained consciousness, almost cried out, startling Wang Boyang, who had just pushed the door open and entered.

After experiencing Wang Boyang's questioning again, Zhong Bingxuan felt like she was going to vomit blood. If she could go back a little earlier, she would have thought of a way to keep the dancer's godmother so that she wouldn't have to share a space with Wang Boyang, that fickle and scumbag father.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Zhong Bingxuan frantically racked her brains, recalling what she had learned about the dignified and generous first wife during this time. She was even more stubborn and crazy in her dealings with the murderous and brutal Wang Boyang.

"Wang Boyang, what kind of attitude is that? You said you'd take care of that woman, so why is she still here?"

On the surface, Zhong Bingxuan appeared fierce and ready to settle scores with Wang Boyang, but in reality, she was quite uncertain after making those harsh remarks.

Wang Boyang's face became even more gloomy and terrifying, and Zhong Bingxuan had the illusion that he was about to strangle her to death at any moment.

“Jingniang, sigh~ you’re still so petty, you’ve even abandoned the image of a proper lady.”

"That bitch is trying to steal my man! She's trying to steal my man! Why should I have to swallow my anger?"

Zhong Bingxuan imagined the actions of the most romantically obsessed characters in countless TV dramas, and then tried to find the craziest one.

Zhong Bingxuan was worried that this action might be too unusual and arouse Wang Boyang's suspicion. However, Wang Boyang instead suppressed his murderous intent and comforted Wang Qiuling's wife.

"Alright, Jingniang, you know I only have you in my heart. Everyone else is just a tool for me to reproduce."

"Hmph, who knows if you'll actually take this for granted? I'll never believe your lies again."

Zhong Bingxuan never expected that by sheer chance, she had actually managed to establish Wang Jingzhu's image as the original wife without arousing suspicion from her husband, Wang Boyang.

But that's all we can do. Zhong Bingxuan knows too little about Wang Boyang's ex-wife. If she stays, there's a high chance of things going wrong. It's better to take this opportunity to act spoiled and leave.
