I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 348, 1.23, 11 Paper Cutting (Inside)

"Mu Yegui? Where are you?" Lan Xiao stood up and scanned her surroundings, trying to spot that familiar figure.

"Up there." Mu Yegui's soft, childlike voice came from above. The two subconsciously looked up and saw Mu Yegui sitting on the beam, kicking her legs idly.

Lan Xiao looked up at Mu Yegui and asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Yegui obediently replied, "Dazed."

"You were surrounded by soldiers after you came in, and then brought to this room, right?" Bertias asked, her gaze on Mu Yegui filled with scrutiny.

"Hmm...it seems right, but it also seems a little wrong..." Mu Yegui said slowly, pondering.

"Isn't that right?" Lan Xiao asked softly.

With her slender, pale fingers lightly touching her chin, Mu Yegui said thoughtfully, "We've surrounded them, but I tried to escape. I just couldn't get away. The space here is very restricted; it's not as free as the surface world. I wasn't brought in; I was thrown in."

Bertias, Lan Xiao: "..." You seem quite proud of yourself.

"Are there only two of you coming in?" Mu Yegui asked, looking down at the two of them.

“Yes, the others are still in the surface world you mentioned,” Bertias nodded and said.

"Ling Tong is a big liar," Mu Yegui said angrily, then used his hands to brace himself against the crossbeam and jumped down.

"I'm so hungry, I'm going out to find some food," Mu Yegui said, walking towards the door.

"The door can't be opened," Bertias quickly called out to Mu Yegui, reminding him.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Mu Yegui revealed her two adorable, round, white feet and kicked the carved wooden door in a rather unappealing way.

With a loud crash and a cloud of dust, the wooden door was kicked into pieces.

"Since we can't open it, let's just kick it to pieces. We don't need to open it anyway." He glanced at the wood chips on the ground with his cool silver eyes and said slowly.

Bertias: "..." That's why he didn't want to get close to Mu Yegui. What if he got killed without realizing it?
The loud noise attracted a group of soldiers, who saw Mu Yegui standing calmly in front of the threshold, showing no intention of going out.

Soldiers surrounded the doorway with long spears, pointing the tips at Mu Yegui, ready to stab her the moment she took a step out.

"Oh." Mu Yegui, with a blank expression, uttered two words of surprise in a calm tone to express his shock.

"Isn't this obvious?" Bertias rubbed his forehead, saying helplessly.

They must be guarding the area, otherwise, if the door were destroyed, wouldn't it be pointless to arrest someone for nothing?

Mu Yegui tentatively lifted her foot and saw the soldier move. She said slowly, "As long as I don't go out, they won't make a move."

"So, do you still want to go out?" Bertias raised an eyebrow and asked with a light laugh.

"I still want to." Mu Yegui turned around and nodded at him, saying, "However, I need to confirm one thing."

Before Bertias could ponder the meaning of those words, she saw Mu Yegui pull out his phone, tap the screen, and quickly type something. Bertias frowned slightly. Shouldn't there be no signal? Or is the inner world and the outer world different?

No! Since it's the same copy, the rules should be the same.

If there was no signal before, then there is definitely no signal now. But if there is no signal, then what is the purpose of Mu Yegui's action?

Bertias suddenly remembered Mu Yegui's inexplicable action when they first arrived in the dungeon.

She first took out her phone and glanced at it, then tossed it to him for a quick look before taking it back and putting it away. She was probably checking if the phone had a signal, but this action now aroused his suspicion.

He had a guess that Mu Yegui was indeed checking if there was a signal outside, but she was checking the difference between what they held in their hands and what she held in her hands.

If he wasn't mistaken, the steps at that time were actually like this: Mu Yegui picked up the phone, saw that it had a signal, and then showed it to him to confirm that the phone had no signal on other people's phones. After understanding the rules and their effect on her, she took the phone back.

In other words, the rules are invalid for Muyegui.

With an unfathomable depth in his blue-gray eyes, Bertias smiled slightly and said, "Mu Yegui, you actually know that the rules don't apply to you, right?"

Rather than keeping their suspicions to themselves, Bertias prefers to voice them and make good use of them, just like now.

"Why would you think that?" Mu Yegui turned her head and glanced at him, asking.

"You tossed the phone to me back then to confirm this, otherwise that action would contradict your current behavior. If the phone really had no signal, you wouldn't have taken it out now."

All of this is based on the premise that the phone had a signal when it was in Mu Yegui's hands, since he did see no signal when the phone was in his hands.

“You’re right, but aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you to silence you for saying this so bluntly to my face?” Mu Yegui tilted his head and looked at Bertias, speaking bluntly.

"I only told you because I was sure you wouldn't kill me, after all, we're teammates now, aren't we?" Bertias said with a light laugh. Although he had never considered this group of people as teammates, that didn't stop him from subtly changing the subject.

With her cool, silver eyes fixed on Bertias, Mu Yegui remained silent. After pressing the last button on her phone, she put it back in her pocket.

Bertias blinked, still wearing a slight smile, but a closer look revealed beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

Mu Yegui's aura was inexplicably terrifying, especially when she was silent. It was impossible to figure out her true thoughts, and you always felt that she would kill you at any moment.

He felt inexplicably excited, and couldn't help but feel thrilled.

“Mu Yegui is the crown prince, isn’t he?” Bertias added again, seemingly unafraid of death, his smile deepening.

Lan Xiao sat in the chair, looking left and right, observing the expressions of the two people. Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and phosphorescent powder with a black glow flew through the air. A delicate black butterfly appeared out of thin air and slowly landed on the back of Lan Xiao's hand, elegant and alluring.

Mu Yegui remained silent, gazing quietly at Bertias. Her exquisite face, devoid of any expression from beginning to end, resembled an empty doll, beautiful to the point of being unreal.

The surroundings were deathly silent; no one spoke, and the soldiers at the door remained standing, their guns still drawn.

“Your royal privileges allow you to disregard the rules, so the rules are invalid for you.” Bertias’s smile widened, and he added as a final remark.
