Chapter 60, Rescuing Teammates
Of course, Zhong Bingxuan was still too optimistic. There had been no problems before, but when she saw the place where Fu Yuchen was being held, her face twitched.
The mechanism above uses white candles, which can be blown out and turn into red candles.
There were red lanterns hanging outside the place where Fu Yuchen was being held. Zhong Bingxuan didn't know if they would turn into white lanterns after being extinguished, but she knew that at this point, it wasn't a good time to just run away.
"Fu Yucheng, pray to God that half of that rule is wrong, or that I can find a loophole in the rule and rescue you."
Zhong Bingxuan avoided the area illuminated by the red lanterns and ran towards Fu Yuchen.
[WARNING! WARNING! This violates the rules against death. Please evacuate the scene immediately.]
Zhong Bingxuan dodged left and right, but when she arrived in front of Fu Yuchen, a warning sound rang in her mind, leaving her completely bewildered.
She was fine when she ran over, but how come she was about to be stabbed just as she was about to be rescued?
Zhong Bingxuan was barely able to save herself, so she couldn't spare any time to save Fu Yuchen. She quickly retreated, trying to escape from the brink of death.
Unfortunately, Zhong Bingxuan wasn't so lucky this time. Blood-red rays of light shot out from Fu Yuchen's body and attacked Zhong Bingxuan, who was running backward. In less than a minute, Zhong Bingxuan was completely killed.
Zhong Bingxuan's appearance and death happened so fast that the two didn't even exchange a word. The thing that attacked Zhong Bingxuan came from his own body. Fu Yuchen was completely dumbfounded.
Is this considered him indirectly causing the death of his teammates?
[You are dead. Rewind three minutes.]
Zhong Bingxuan blinked and reappeared under the bed, remaining motionless. However, she already had a plan, so her mind wasn't as chaotic. She took a deep breath, exhaled forcefully, and blew out the white candle.
Prepared to fall, Zhong Bingxuan wasn't in such a sorry state this time. As she fell, she curled up to reduce the damage to her body, then landed safely and rushed forward quickly.
"Fatty, I told you I wouldn't marry you, so give up on that idea."
This time, Zhong Bingxuan knew that there was no other danger in the basement besides Fu Yuchen's place, so she moved around a bit too much, which attracted Fu Yuchen's attention.
“It’s me, Fu Yucheng. Look at your body and see where the red lanterns are. Remove them, or I won’t be able to get you out.”
Previously, when Zhong Bingxuan rushed towards Fu Yuchen, she was killed and fled by a red light. Considering the previous wedding banquet rules, it should be that Fu Yuchen had something like a red lantern on him, which caused Zhong Bingxuan to violate the rules of death and be killed by the strange thing possessed by the red lantern.
"ah??"
"What are you still standing there for? You still want to be someone's husband? Then I'm leaving?"
Zhong Bingxuan looked at Fu Yuchen with a half-smile. Fu Yuchen was startled by what Zhong Bingxuan said and quickly checked the things around him to see if there was a red lantern.
"There's none here, there's none there, you wicked woman, are you trying to fool me? I don't have any red lanterns here."
"And what about yourself? Anything that appears after you kidnapped someone has a problem."
Zhong Bingxuan refused to believe her premonition was wrong. The agony she had just suffered was not in vain. Fu Yuchen definitely had something like a red lantern on him that would make her violate the rules of death.
"Let me think about it."
Fu Yucheng looked down at his clothes and jewelry, pondering his appearance after entering the dungeon, and then hesitated before untying his belt to examine it.
"If there's anything different, it's this belt I'm wearing. It seems it wasn't pure red with gold trim before, but pure black with gold trim. If there's any possibility of a problem, it's this belt."
Fu Yucheng examined the embroidery on the belt and discovered an exquisite red lantern embroidery in the very center. He quickly tossed the belt aside.
“Your intuition is still sharper, you fierce woman. There’s something wrong with this belt. There’s a very creepy-looking red lantern on it. If you look at it for too long, you feel like blood will flow out and you’ll feel dizzy.”
"Alright, it's good that you've found the problem. Move aside a bit, I'll rush over and help you open the cage."
Fu Yucheng obediently stepped back, waiting for the captain to rescue him. He believed in the fierce woman's abilities and that she could help him escape from this cage.
If this cage hadn't been able to block players' items and talents, Fu Yucheng wouldn't have been stuck here, feeling miserable and waiting for someone to rescue him.
Once he gets out, he'll definitely turn this wretched Wen family mansion upside down.
Zhong Bingxuan didn't have the key. She was gambled that this place was used to being strange and arrogant, and that she had only set a trap for Fu Yuchen, without tampering with the cage, so that it could be physically destroyed.
Fortunately, this idea was correct. Zhong Bingxuan dodged left and right, successfully passing through the range of the red lanterns along the way, and brought Fu Yuchen to her side. She kicked the cage, creating a large hole in the barbed wire next to it.
Knowing that this method was effective and had not violated any death rules, Zhong Bingxuan kicked a few more times to make the hole just right for Fu Yuchen to come out. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and urged Fu Yuchen to come out quickly.
"Hurry up, those two weirdos are fighting outside. That's how I managed to sneak in. If we don't get out quickly, we'll be in big trouble once they finish fighting."
"Okay, you fierce woman, move aside, I'll be right out."
Zhong Bingxuan moved a step to the right, avoiding the range of the red lantern's light, thus giving Fu Yu space to stand.
After Zhong Bingxuan destroyed the iron cage, all restrictions on Fu Yuchen were lifted, allowing him to use his own items and innate abilities.
He had been feeling incredibly frustrated for a long time. He pulled out a Samadhi Fire from his spatial storage, threw it on the ground, and quickly darted out of the iron cage. Before he could even get his footing, he and Zhong Bingxuan teleported away from this wretched place.
"Damn, Fu Yucheng, you're setting the house on fire! In peacetime, you'd be working as a sewing machine."
"I will not be able to get rid of this hatred until I get my revenge."
"But……"
"There are no buts. This is just a dungeon world. The NPCs in it are naturally opposed to us. You can't be too kind and treat them like real people, or you'll end up dying at the hands of those seemingly gentle and harmless NPCs, even if they saved you just recently."
If Zhong Bingxuan hadn't known that Fu Yuchen was unaware of the connection between her previous instance and this one, she would have thought he was subtly mocking and belittling her naivety.
This time when she entered the dungeon, she almost fell into the dungeon's trap and was killed by the kind old mother from the previous dungeon.
Just because Zhong Bingxuan has the ability to reload after death doesn't mean she has to stay in this instance forever.
only……
"Wait, why is this a dead end? Where's the exit?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I was going to say? Please give me a heads-up before you go crazy next time, or I'll drag you down with me and we'll both end up dead."
Zhong Bingxuan was speechless at Fu Yucheng's unexpected stroke of genius.
"Stop being sarcastic. I don't know what happened either. How did you get here? Let's get out of here quickly. This is Samadhi Fire, which can burn everything. The bits of flesh on the two of us won't even last three minutes."
