Chapter 61, Escape by Deception

"They came down from above."

Zhong Bingxuan suppressed the urge to beat Fu Yuchen up, raised her head, and pointed to the closed mechanism door above.

"It's all locked up, how are we supposed to get out?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? You didn't cause this."

Zhong Bingxuan rolled her eyes at Fu Yuchen, annoyed, and began to think about how to escape.

Fu Yuchen knew that what he had just done was somewhat rash, and he was afraid that Zhong Bingxuan would lose her temper and give him a good beating.

"If we can't go up, let the people above come down and handle it."

"Wouldn't that mean you're face-to-face with them?"

Now that Fu Yucheng has unlocked both his items and talents, he can handle a few strange occurrences. With a little more reliance on the strange artifacts in Zhong Bingxuan's hands, the two of them can break through the encirclement.

However, Fu Yuchen did not think that confronting the supernatural head-on was a good idea. This was the supernatural stronghold, and even without considering the ubiquitous rules of death, the supernatural sea tactics alone would make the two of them suffer greatly.

"You must have killed quite a few Faceless Mud Golems in that newbie dungeon, right?"

"You're not very clear about this."

Fu Yuchen felt a bit dazed that Zhong Bingxuan was asking such irrelevant questions at such a crucial moment, and he didn't want to talk.

"You've never used a disguise card?"

"I am the strongest in the world, and I do not need to rely on external forces."

"Alright, you're the best live-in son-in-law in the world. You stay here and behave yourself. I'm off to do something big."

Zhong Bingxuan doesn't have many resources at her disposal, but she has a boyfriend who's like Doraemon.

In case heavy firepower support was needed to rescue Fu Yucheng, Zhong Bingxuan asked her sweetheart for a rocket launcher, which she used at the right moment, firing a shot at the gate above.

Rumble~

The main gate above remained intact; not a single stone was knocked down.

"Damn it, you call me crazy? You're even crazier than me, you shrew! We're still standing here. Luckily, the gate is sturdy enough not to be destroyed by your shot, otherwise we would have been buried alive."

Fu Yucheng jumped up excitedly, behaving in an exaggerated way.

Zhong Bingxuan didn't even want to talk to this guy. He was an old player pretending to be a newbie. She didn't believe that this guy didn't have a good defensive item and couldn't possibly be buried alive by a small pile of rocks.

"Okay, I was exaggerating a bit earlier, but you made such a commotion, those two monsters fighting up there must have heard it. What are we going to do now? Just go and fight them head-on?"

"You're stupid. Why not just hide? Why go through all that trouble and suffer a bunch of strange, tireless soldiers?"

Zhong Bingxuan felt that Fu Yuchen must have been driven crazy by Wen Yuelan these days, that she even had to explain such a simple truth to him.

Is there anywhere here to hide?

Even though Fu Yuchen thought the question he asked earlier was a bit stupid, the most important problem in front of them had not yet been solved, and the two of them would have to face the strange thing head-on sooner or later.

"Are all those disguise cards you have just for show? Use one and turn it into a decoration here."

Zhong Bingxuan had already heard the heavy footsteps above and knew that the strange creatures were about to descend. After saying this, she used her disguise card to transform into the red candles here.

Fu Yucheng stared blankly. Seeing that the other party did not react and the footsteps outside became more and more frequent, Zhong Bingxuan said anxiously, "Quickly put me on the wall." She hurriedly put away a red candle to avoid letting the ghost notice that something was wrong and found something to hide herself.

Fu Yuchen never imagined that the disguise card could be used like this. He always thought that the disguise card could only be used on people, and he subconsciously did what Zhong Bingxuan told him, while he himself became an inconspicuous little stone in the corner.

After he finished setting everything up, the strange creature above opened its mechanism and came down.

The hardest part of escaping here is opening the mechanism door; no weapons, including swords, spears, or firearms, can open it.

The monsters came down and rushed towards where Fu Yucheng was being held. This was the best opportunity for Zhong Bingxuan and Fu Yucheng to escape. They had to seize the opportunity; once they missed it, they would never be able to get out again.

"Damn it, where is he? I'm asking you, where is my future husband?"

"Haha, you ugly woman, it seems the other party can't take it anymore and is fleeing from here."

Inside, Wen Yuelan's furious voice rang out, along with Wen Changxing's sarcastic tone. Amidst the subsequent loud fighting between the two, Zhong Bingxuan and Fu Yucheng took advantage of the chaos to begin their operation.

Fu Yuchen had a small flying device, similar to a board game. Knowing that Zhong Bingxuan had little experience in dungeons and needed a huge amount of points to buy a system shield, she had very few items. So he gave one to Zhong Bingxuan, and the two of them flew out on the small flying device.

Fortunately, after these strange creatures went inside, one person remained outside, and the mechanism door did not close immediately, allowing Zhong Bingxuan and Fu Yucheng to escape in time.

"What are these? Have the stone and the red candle come to life?"

Zhong Bingxuan and Fu Yuchen were pressed for time and did not restore their original appearances, but instead appeared in their previous disguises.

"what to do?"

"Kill him, but don't let anyone else find out."

Without saying a word, Zhong Bingxuan made her move, aiming the Nine Nether Ice Transparent Dart at the forehead of the strange creature left in front, killing it instantly.

Fortunately, the remaining strange creature was only of ordinary level and did not have any special conditions for killing it. Zhong Bingxuan killed it with a single blow.

Unfortunately, the strange scream that had just been heard still attracted the attention of the security guards outside, who began to inquire about the situation in the bedroom inside.

"Xiangxiang, what's wrong? Do you need my help?"

"No need for all that trouble, it's just a small thing, I can solve it in no time."

Zhong Bingxuan disguised herself as the maid she had previously impersonated, while Fu Yuchen, who knew a bit of ventriloquism, impersonated the strange person left behind to deal with the security guards.

"Okay, that's good. Are you going out, Miss Xiangxiang?"

The security guard noticed that Xiangxiang came out directly, dispelling the last trace of doubt in his heart.

The familiar voice and the familiar face—it was Xiangxiang, the girl he knew. It seemed that what had just happened was indeed a small accident, and there hadn't been any other major changes.

The security guards were focused on Fu Yucheng disguised as Xiangxiang and didn't notice Zhong Bingxuan who appeared later. Zhong Bingxuan pierced through him with the Nine Nether Ice Transparent Dart and turned him into ashes.

The security guard was also an ordinary weirdo. The Wen family's special weirdos, besides Wen Yuelan, might be Manli, Wen Changxing, and the Wen family patriarch. Even servants with some skills could be defeated.

"I thought you would be merciful and let this security guard go."

Fu Yuchen watched with admiration as Zhong Bingxuan swiftly raised her knife and brought it down, without the slightest hesitation.

“He was standing guard outside the door just now, he must have heard something was wrong inside the room. Just in case, only a dead person can keep the secret.”

If the rest of the Wen family finds out that someone can impersonate another person, the situation will definitely be bad, and they will be more restricted in their actions in the future.

She's just an NPC; Zhong Bingxuan wouldn't be so incapable of even grasping this basic principle.
