Chapter 80, Osda Tradition
"Something's not right about the timing. Is there a problem with the rules?"
Zhong Bingxuan calculated it several times, but couldn't find the problem. She could only speculate that there was an error in the rules.
"You fierce woman, don't you have a bad sense of time? It's not exactly six o'clock, what's wrong with that?"
Fu Yuchen spoke to Zhong Bingxuan in an annoyed tone, then turned to look at Linlin gently, asking if she was alright.
“Brother Yuchen, you are not allowed to treat your cousin so badly. In the photos, if it weren’t for your cousin protecting me, I would have been killed by those monsters long ago.”
Zhong Linlin was very dissatisfied with Fu Yuchen's rudeness and turned her head away, ignoring him.
"Well... I was just too worried about you. It's almost time to go, and neither of you has come out yet."
Other problems are fine, but if Zhong Bingxuan has a really bad sense of time, then that would be terrible.
The eerie world is full of traps. A misunderstanding of time can easily lead to death in a time-sensitive instance.
"But it seems like we still have plenty of time; we should be closing in about twenty minutes!"
Zhong Linlin thought Fu Yuchen was being unreasonable with her cousin, which was why she turned her head away in anger.
However, judging from the genuine expression on Fu Yucheng's face, Zhong Linlin knew that she and her cousin must have miscalculated something.
"If I'm not mistaken, the time flow in the two timelines is different. You didn't notice anything amiss and were almost misled."
At the very last moment, the eerie creature set a trap for Zhong Bingxuan and her companion. If they had been even a fraction slower, they would have been forced to become paper dolls and remain inside the Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop, just like those customers who didn't return home at night.
"Cousin, it's all my fault..."
Zhong Linlin looked at Zhong Bingxuan with guilt. If she hadn't been thinking of helping her complete the mission, the two of them wouldn't have almost ended up in the Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop.
"Alright, enough of that. Did you find anything this time?"
Zhong Bingxuan interrupted Linlin's next words, saying that everything was in the past and there was nothing more to say.
Besides, in the photo, if it weren't for Linlin's healing abilities, Zhong Bingxuan would have died countless times before she could get out. The two of them could be considered to be helping each other, so there's nothing to argue about.
"One thing is certain: the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes are indeed specialties of Osita. We only have one more specialty left to meet our needs."
This was the information Li Hanmo obtained; the red wedding dress and red embroidered shoes were the main items in his and Ah Xuan's quest, so he was in charge of keeping them.
"If there's any clue, it's that after marriage, the wife will definitely kill her husband and seize everything from him, right?"
"Tell me more about it."
“Captain, didn’t you give me the Soul-Devouring Nail? I read the clues from the Soul-Devouring Nail.”
Fu Yucheng didn't hide anything and told the whole story.
"The mission is complete."
Zhong Linlin was delighted to see that her main quest completion rate had reached 100%. Including the mandatory quests, she had already completed two quests.
Once my cousin finishes her first-class mission, the other teammates who have already completed their missions will automatically complete theirs.
"Then you can go back first. I still have five days left for Hanmo's main quest."
Although only two days have passed, this instance has been far more eventful than the previous ones, leaving everyone exhausted. It's best if Linlin leaves first, as who knows what dangers await them later.
"No."
Zhong Linlin was unhappy, so Zhong Bing turned to Fu Yuchen and said, "Take her away and take good care of my cousin."
"The more people there are, the more strength we have. We'll stay and help."
"But……"
"Cousin, we've almost finished our mission, except for your first-class flight. If it works out, let's take a gamble; maybe we can enjoy it when we get back. If not, we can leave early. We've already got the tickets ready."
Zhong Linlin gestured for her cousin to look at the completed train ticket in her hand, and Zhong Bingxuan had nothing to say, so she didn't let the two of them leave.
Now that the mission is complete, there's no problem staying; we can leave at any time.
"Since you've already stayed, tell me what tasks you still haven't completed and what important clues you currently have."
After seeing that Linlin had settled the matter, Fu Yuchen began to discuss the remaining tasks for his teammates.
"You're familiar with the mandatory missions and the first-class missions, so I won't go into detail. Our main mission is to spend seven days in Osda and acquire at least three local specialties. For two people, that's six local specialties. We've already acquired two, and we still need four more."
Aside from nighttime activities, finding this local specialty is the most important thing.
“Okay, then we’ll split into two groups of two. Linlin and I will go find out about the activities that day, while the captain and vice-captain will go find local specialties in Osda.”
The activity is easy to find, but the local specialty needs to be verified by Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo to know if it is genuine, so it is not suitable for Fu Yuchen and Zhong Linlin to do.
"Okay, everyone go back and rest for a while, and we'll go look for it again after noon."
If you've been up all night without resting, you won't have the energy or spirit to keep going tonight, and you might easily become exhausted and get killed by something supernatural.
Zhong Bingxuan disbanded the team and went home.
This time when I went back, I didn't encounter my parents waiting at the gate to interrogate me.
Perhaps because An's mother and the others knew that Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo were at Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop, they didn't come out to cause trouble, which also indirectly shows that these cheap parents harbored malicious intentions.
Despite knowing the rules of Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop, Zhong Bingxuan remained silent about where she was going.
The events of the last instance are still vivid in my mind, but things have changed beyond recognition.
Wait a minute, Zhong Bingxuan remembered what Fu Yuchen had said before, about the tradition of wives killing their husbands after marriage.
It seems that An's mother planned to marry Harlelin after disembarking. Does this tradition still exist in the An family?
If that exists, wouldn't that violate the family rules about loving and caring for each other?
Zhong Bingxuan realized that if she wanted to get rid of these adoptive parents, she couldn't always be able to come home on time. Constantly using Li Hanmo as a shield wasn't a long-term solution and would arouse their suspicion.
While her parents were at work, Zhong Bingxuan was at home searching for clues, but unfortunately, she didn't have any time to rest.
But for the sake of convenience in the future, she must find the evidence as soon as possible.
Zhong Bingxuan had checked her own room when she entered the instance, but she hadn't checked her parents' bedroom.
That's not a place Zhong Bingxuan should go; going there without permission could be dangerous.
But now, in order to find clues, they can't care about anything else.
Of course, Zhong Bingxuan was not a reckless person. She used a high-level defensive talisman before moving to the door of her parents' bedroom and pushing the door open.
With a ripping sound, something pierced the air. Before Zhong Bingxuan could retreat, the protective talisman was violently attacked and shattered.
