If they can decompose iron railings, they can definitely decompose stone, right? Qu Lingyuan was confident in this plan.
As night fell, it was a dark and windy night with few people on guard against fire. Qu Lingyuan quietly changed into the palace maid costume that Ruoxi had brought, placed her hands on the wall at the back of the cell, and began to extract various elements from the stone wall. She felt a little excited and panicked.
Fortunately, it was a peaceful time and there were few prisoners, so there was no one in the row of cells opposite. Otherwise, I would have to be on guard against being seen, which would have been really troublesome.
In order to prevent the wall from making too much noise when it collapsed and attracting the guards, Qu Lingyuan only opened a small hole that was only big enough for herself to get out, and then tiptoed to a cell at the end. It was said that this was the cell where the dead female prisoner was locked.
Using the same method, he opened a small hole in the stone wall and Qu Lingyuan crawled in with difficulty.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Life forces us to do this. Let's understand each other. Don't look for me if you want to take your life..." Qu Lingyuan put his hands together and bowed three times respectfully to the woman's body. He timidly changed the body into his own clothes, put his hands under the body's armpits, and dragged her to his cell.
After trying his best to prepare himself mentally, Qu Lingyuan buried the woman's clothes in the straw, put the body in the corner, placed the bomb on her chest, took out a flint and lit the fuse, then got out of the cell as quickly as possible and hid in the woods behind the cell.
There is a lot of dry straw in the cell. When the straw catches fire, the buried clothes will be burned to ashes. There is no need to worry too much.
With a loud bang, the entire cell collapsed, and the two adjacent cells were inevitably affected, seemingly hitting the people inside...
Qu Lingyuan left the place quickly with a full sense of guilt.
After hearing the loud noise, the guard rushed over quickly. When he saw the collapsed cell, he felt that his worldview collapsed along with the cell.
How could it collapse and catch fire?
The guard who first reacted shouted, "Quick! Put out the fire!"
No one had expected that the prison would catch fire. There was no water source nearby for emergency relief, and a pile of dry straw in the cell effectively increased the flames. By the time the guards gathered many brothers to put out the fire and clean up the collapsed rubble, all the evidence had disappeared in the fire. They only found a charred corpse that was blown to pieces and unrecognizable.
Hiding in a corner where no one would ever pass by, Qu Lingyuan covered her chest and gasped.
This plan was really too much for her body, but she couldn't do anything except give herself more oxygen by coming out.
"Huh...Huh...Yiling, I have never felt that living is so difficult." Qu Lingyuan sat on the ground, her head leaning against the wall behind her, her posture untidy.
"...Come on." Yi Ling couldn't say anything, he couldn't help much either.
Qu Lingyuan glanced at her hands, which had become dirty from so much experience, and suddenly felt aggrieved. "What should I do next? There are patrols in the palace at night, and my face is too conspicuous."
"You... can use the life span you earned as a mission reward to buy things from the mall. There are disguise masks in the World Law Mall. Since this is your first mission, you are allowed to overdraw, but you have to think clearly. You need to accumulate 80 years of life before you can choose to retire. Using your life span to buy something may directly result in you having to complete one more mission before you can retire." Yi Ling threw out a very useful piece of information.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qu Lingyuan's current state could be described as jumping up from the ground in excitement. She felt like she had been saved from a desperate situation, as if a new light had appeared after a dark period. "Well, I guess I didn't ask, right? The workers have all received on-the-job training, and you didn't tell me anything clearly."
When she saw hope again, tears immediately flowed out from the corners of her eyes. Life is really full of ups and downs.
"Don't cry, please?" Yi Ling was even worse at coaxing people than Chen Qingmo. "Well, I'll use my salary to get you a discount at the mall, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Lingyuan burst out laughing again: "You still have a salary?"
This crying and laughing made Yiling feel that she had been deceived. Humans are really complicated animals, and women are even more complicated and a little nervous.
So, when Yi Ling offered a discount, Qu Lingyuan overdrew her "salary" and chose an unremarkable disguise mask.
This face is quite distinctive. The characteristic is that no matter how many times you see it, you will not remember it. It is a typical passerby face.
"Just to clarify, this is an item that you, as a tasker, purchased from the dedicated World Law Mall with your life salary. It can be stored in the mall backpack and can be used again in future tasks." Yi Ling explained it clearly this time.
That doesn't seem like a big loss.
Qu Lingyuan took a look at the soft and thin mask, then put it on her face according to the instructions. She never thought that looking good was a problem, but she never expected that there would be a day when she would have to look ugly.
With an unprepossessing face, Qu Lingyuan swaggered back to Xiyun Palace. Anyway, there were no many palace maids below the second rank in Xiyun Palace, so it was convenient for her to sneak in. Now that the master was away, the people in Xiyun Palace had nothing to do. Some even went to seek refuge with other masters, leaving their residences vacant, which made it convenient for Qu Lingyuan.
