Chapter 32, Teammates Reunited

Zhong Bingxuan never expected that Ma Yewei, this player, would bring disaster upon himself and drag her into it as well. Daytime was a relatively safe period, but she was placed under house arrest by the head of the household.

Although the original owner, Wang Qiuling, was somewhat two-faced and not as submissive as the rules suggested, she would never dare to disobey her father.

In other words, Zhong Bingxuan can forget about going out during the day for the time being. Only at night, at the risk of her life, does she have the opportunity to investigate clues in the dungeon.

Zhong Bingxuan was also helpless about this matter and could only place her hopes on her teammates, hoping to find an opportunity to meet up with them at night.

"Yes, Granny Wang, I'll be back in a bit."

Instead of leaving immediately, Wang Juan waited in place, making it clear that she would not leave until Zhong Bingxuan did.

Unable to do anything else, Zhong Bingxuan could only signal to Fu Yuchen to come to her with her eyes. In front of everyone, she couldn't talk to Fu Yuchen directly, as it would be easy for other players to see and guess their relationship and cause them to be targeted. So she could only ask Fu Yuchen to come to her privately to discuss things.

Fu Yuchen nodded to indicate that he understood. Taking advantage of Wang Juan leaving with Ma Yewei, he seized the opportunity to break away from the group, found Zhong Linlin, and headed towards the young lady's room.

Because of what happened on the first day, Fu Yuchen had already found out where the young lady's room was. Without much effort, he led Zhong Linlin to Zhong Bingxuan's room and met up with her.

"Cousin, are you alright?"

Upon meeting, before Zhong Bingxuan could say anything, Zhong Linlin rushed over and examined her from head to toe. Still not at ease, she used tiny dots to treat Zhong Bingxuan until she found nothing amiss before finally feeling relieved.

Why do you say that?

Zhong Bingxuan didn't think anything major had happened to her in the past three days. Logically speaking, Linlin shouldn't have misunderstood that she was injured.

"It's because the recording pen of Butler Li recorded that the eldest young lady is possessed by the ghost of the first wife, confirming that the scene on the first day when the eldest young lady was possessed by the first wife was true."

"The players all say that Miss Wang Qiuling is the real boss behind this dungeon, and they want to find an opportunity to kill her and get the rich kill reward. If you don't believe me, just look at Fu Yuchen, he's here too."

Zhong Bingxuan was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't expected that her spur-of-the-moment idea would lead the players astray, causing them to treat her like a boss.

"I'm a little curious about what the recording pen said. Why would it treat me as the boss when the boss is clearly Wang Boyang, the patriarch of the Wang family."

Zhong Bingxuan had previously thought that the dancer was the mastermind or the original wife, but after returning to her room and thinking about it carefully, she realized that everything was very strange.

Whether it's the original wife or the dancer, they are subject to too many restrictions and their combat power is not very strong. As long as they resist the temptation of the other party, they can escape a calamity, unlike the behind-the-scenes boss who has powerful attack power.

Wang Boyang, who usually seems harmless, has made Zhong Bingxuan wary, especially after what happened last night, her sense of danger has grown stronger.

She died after only two meetings. If it weren't for Zhong Bingxuan's quick thinking, she would have died countless times.

Zhong Bingxuan told her two teammates what happened last night, and Fu Yuchen took out a voice recorder and carefully played back what Butler Li had said last night.

"Young Miss, it's true that the original wife is possessed by an evil spirit."

"If I die, it must be her doing. She must have noticed something was wrong on the first day, but she was too weak to deal with me. Once she became stronger, she would make her move against me."

"Master Wang even killed his young lover for her sake, which shows that Miss Wang Qiuling's status in the Wang family is extraordinary."

"Sizzle~"

The rest of the conversation became somewhat unclear; the hissing sound was too loud, and in the finer details, only a faint sound of corrosive liquid could be heard.

Fu Yuchen had listened to it several times before but didn't notice anything wrong. He even mistakenly thought, like the other players, that Wang Qiuling was the biggest boss of the Wang family.

It wasn't until they saw that Wang Qiuling was impersonating one of their own that they realized this was a trap set by the instance to make players kill each other.

"Based on the information you've gathered, what kind of person was the original owner of this body, Wang Qiuling?"

Having experienced what happened last night, she had some guesses about the corrosive sounds that Butler Li made at the end. However, the original owner's identity was always a major hidden danger, and she needed other channels and information to resolve the problems of the original owner.

"The young lady is a timid child who has no father or mother to love her. She obeys her father's orders without question. If her father says east, she dares not go west."

"My cousin's character, Wang Qiuling, has a deep-seated fear of the master of the Wang family or the maids and nannies with some status, but she is arrogant and condescending towards other people of low status. She is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong."

Fu Yucheng and Zhong Linlin shared the information they had found about the young lady, which was not much different from Zhong Bingxuan's previous guesses. They had no other opinions to draw upon and were momentarily confused.

"Hmm, by the way, everyone in the manor is very afraid of the big tree where I first settled, and they dare not go there easily. I wonder if we can start from that point."

Zhong Linlin remembered the big tree that had saved her life and immediately told her cousin about it.

With no other clues, we had no choice but to go and check on the matter of that big tree.

It's safer during the day. Since Zhong Bingxuan is under house arrest and can't go out, Fu Yuchen and Zhong Linlin will handle this for now. They'll check on her again tonight after Zhong Bingxuan is released from her confinement.

Of course, it's best to find relevant clues during the day when it's safe, and go to the big tree at night, as the probability of something unexpected happening is too high.

"Have you seen Hanmo?"

Zhong Bingxuan suddenly realized that only two people had come over. Could it be that neither of them had seen Li Hanmo?

"I saw him. He's the accountant's son. The accountant's office has been very busy lately. He was conscripted by his character's father and can't go out all day."

As a result, Li Hanmo became increasingly anxious. He couldn't get away during the day when it was safe, and at night, with his character's father watching over him, he couldn't leave the group to search for clues.

Even worse than Zhong Linlin, at least Zhong Linlin discovered a hidden place that made everyone in the mansion wary and dared not go there easily.

Li Hanmo really couldn't find out a single piece of information.

Hearing about her lover's terrible situation, Zhong Bingxuan suddenly felt relieved. No matter how bad her treatment was, it wasn't as bad as Li Hanmo's. Her personal freedom was only affected by Ma Yewei's foolishness today. For the past two or three days, she had been very free and could move around anywhere in the mansion at will.

"Why did it get dark so quickly?"

Zhong Linlin was surprised to find that it was already dark outside. A moment later, someone knocked on the door and asked the young lady to come for dinner.

This indicates that it's not just that it gets dark quickly, but there are also some issues with the timing.

"How long has it been? It hasn't even been three hours since dawn."

Fu Yuchen raised his wrist to check the time.

This is a watch he obtained while doing a quest in a certain instance. It guarantees absolute time accuracy and is unaffected by instance rules or curses.

The time displayed above is now five or six o'clock in the game, the time when the owner of the Wang family is preparing to eat.
