Chapter 40, Finding the Ticket
It's best not to provoke the black mist at this time.
Li Hanmo understood the meaning behind Zhong Bingxuan's gesture. Although he was still worried, he trusted his girlfriend's abilities and took a step back, moving away from the black fog, leaving everything to her to handle.
Li Hanmo's killing intent was too great, and the black mist turned to deal with him. After Li Hanmo took a few steps back, it suppressed its fierce aura and slowly continued to pass by Zhong Bingxuan.
Zhong Bingxuan felt nervous and controlled her thoughts, preventing herself from subconsciously controlling the Nine Nether Ice Transparent Darts to attack the black mist.
The black mist was so deadly that everyone was afraid it would suddenly attack and kill them before they could react.
Zhong Bingxuan, in particular, had been killed by the black mist several times, making her even more terrified of getting close to it.
The black mist approached Zhong Bingxuan, slipped into her pocket, and took out an envelope.
The remaining yellow light, as if it were consciously aware of its surroundings, withdrew its radiance before the black mist approached, obediently allowing itself to be swept away by the black mist.
Zhong Bingxuan watched helplessly as the black mist swept away the envelope. The illusory figure of Wang Jingzhu appeared on the envelope, waving goodbye to Zhong Bingxuan and silently saying, "I'm sorry."
"Ah Xuan, how are you? Are you alright?"
Li Hanmo and the others left with the envelope, then hurriedly ran to Zhong Bingxuan's side, anxiously asking her questions.
"Nothing's wrong. Did you receive the notification that the dungeon quest is complete?"
"Not yet, we should wait until dawn tomorrow."
Li Hanmo shook his head. The main quest was simply moved to dawn earlier; it didn't say that defeating Wang Boyang would complete the quest. The two were very different and shouldn't be confused.
"Ah Xuan, have you completed your mission?"
"All tasks except the main quest have been completed."
Zhong Bingxuan nodded. Her first-class mission was completed when the black mist pulled the envelope away, and she even received Wang Jingzhu's guilt buff, which could block one fatal danger.
With no other restrictions, it's a pretty good life-saving weapon.
"It seems your first-class mission failed. Are you going to look for train tickets later?"
Apart from Zhong Bingxuan, the identities of the other three have already been exposed, and the first-class mission is bound to fail.
"Yes."
"We must find the train ticket before dawn, or we'll be stuck in this instance."
Fu Yuchen helped Zhong Linlin over. During the battle, although Wang Boyang's attention was entirely on Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo, there were still quite a few attacks from the monsters on Fu Yuchen and Zhong Linlin.
Zhong Linlin's superpowers were severely overdrawn, and she needed Fu Yuchen to help her walk.
"This is a bit urgent. Fortunately, I just completed a lot of team tasks. I'll click to accept and see if I can find the location of the tickets?"
Because the other three people failed the first-class mission and could not view the first-class ticket mission details, only Zhong Bingxuan completed the first-class mission and did not have this concern.
Zhong Bingxuan clicked on the ticket, found Team Mission 1, and discovered that there was a bonus to 100 team missions: 100,000 more health, 10,000 more strength, 10,000 more constitution, 10,000 more agility, and 100,000 more mana.
Since all the other team members failed the mission, the reward belonged only to Zhong Bingxuan, which gave Zhong Bingxuan a very strange feeling. Wouldn't this approach cause internal divisions within the team?
Although teams are prohibited from killing each other, just looking at Zhong Bingxuan's dungeon run, it's clear that there are quite a few ways to try and monopolize the rewards.
Zhong Bingxuan told the others about this, telling them to be careful and wary of their teammates when teaming up with others in the future.
Zhong Bingxuan will be separated from everyone for the time being. They will meet again in the next instance and be able to continue their time together. I am still a little reluctant to part with her.
"The ticket is in Wang Jingjing's room, not the bedroom that Linlin and I found earlier, but the dancer's bedroom, which is the private room where the first player who died, Wang Shixuan, was located."
When Zhong Bingxuan saw the portrait of the dancer there, she wondered why a lady from a respectable family would have a portrait of a lowly dancer. Little did she know that the place was actually the room of Wang Jingjing, the mistress of another woman.
It was just that Wang Jingzhu, who later replaced Wang Jingjing, gave the room to Wang Shixuan to sleep in.
But if the original owner wasn't the dancer's child, then who was?
Zhong Bingxuan also considered this point and believed it was Wang Shixuan. The evidence was that Wang Shixuan had never triggered the dancer's death rule while sleeping in the dancer's room since she was a child.
Zhong Bingxuan didn't believe that the dancer was really that kind-hearted, and that she wouldn't harm an innocent child. The only possibility was that the child was the dancer's child.
From this perspective, Wang Boyang is truly a scumbag. The original owner and Wang Shixuan were born on almost the same day, which means that Wang Boyang cheated on her from the very beginning, which is why the dancer was deceived by Wang Jingzhu and could never find her own child.
"Okay, Linlin and I will go to Wang Shixuan's room to look for it. Once we find it, we'll send you a message, Zhong Bingxuan."
Fu Yucheng nodded and left with Zhong Linlin.
Zhong Bingxuan was so busy telling Li Hanmo that the other ticket location was more complicated, it was in the original Wang Boyang's room, and the two of them were discussing the specific location of the ticket that they didn't realize something was wrong.
"I think it should be Wang Jingzhu's room. After all, Wang Boyang and Wang Jingzhu are a couple, so it's normal for them to live together."
Li Hanmo offered his suggestion, but Zhong Bingxuan had a different idea.
“But at that time, Wang Jingzhu was impersonating Wang Yuelun, so it’s impossible for her to live with her own brother-in-law.”
If I'm not mistaken, Wang Jingzhu's room now should be Wang Yuelun's former bedroom. As the brother-in-law, it's unlikely that she would actually get involved with her brother-in-law, Wang Boyang.
"That couldn't be Wang Jingjing's bedroom either. At that time, the two should have been strangers with no interaction. Wang Yuelun, who is obsessed with his sister, would not have allowed his sister to have any intimate contact with Wang Boyang before he had investigated Wang Boyang's character."
"After the investigation was completed, Wang Yuelun was relieved and agreed to his sister dating Wang Boyang. By then, almost a year had passed. In such a long time, it was impossible for Wang Boyang not even to have a place to sleep."
Li Hanmo also denied that Wang Jingjing's room was there, so where would Wang Boyang's room be?
"How about we go check on the original owner's room?"
The master's house only has so many rooms, and there are no rooms in the Wang mansion that cannot be entered, so the only room that I haven't checked is Wang Qiuling's room.
Li Hanmo had no objection and followed Zhong Bingxuan to Wang Qiuling's room. However, his girlfriend suddenly stopped. The two were very close, and an ambiguous atmosphere slowly filled the air.
"Ahem, um... I forgot something... Go check if Master Wang Juan, that trusted maid, is still there. Find an opportunity to interrogate her severely; maybe you can find out something about Wang Boyang's old room."
Zhong Bingxuan blushed, and Li Hanmo was mesmerized by her beauty. However, time was of the essence, and it was not the right time for romance. Reluctantly, he said goodbye to his girlfriend and went to search for Wang Juan's whereabouts.
Logically, it would be more appropriate to ask Wang Juan about Zhong Bingxuan's identity, but since she is currently still in the instance, even if the mission is completed, there is still a possibility of failure, so only her lover can do it herself.
