Chapter 363 1.23 25 Paper Cutting
midnight.

Yu Yin couldn't sleep for some reason, so she wanted to go out for a walk. But she didn't expect to see a light coming from the kitchen in the distance. She paused slightly, her expression hesitant, wondering whether she should go up and take a look.

She stood in the darkness, lost in her own thoughts. Completely unaware, a beautiful black butterfly fluttered past her feet, scattering specks of phosphorescent powder that shimmered with a black light.

Should she go see it?
Let's go take a look...

Maybe something's happened...

We were discussing during the day whether someone would steal the bread in the middle of the night; could it be happening now?

Yu Yin quietly approached the kitchen doorway and peeked into the kitchen. She saw Mu Yegui sitting on the stove, his eyes quietly watching the cream bread on the table. His expression was calm, not like he intended to steal the bread, but he had indeed appeared in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

In the silence, that soft, sweet voice rang out, causing Yu Yin to tremble involuntarily.

"What are you peeking at from the doorway?"

They were caught peeping.

For a moment, Yu Yin didn't know whether she should take the initiative to go out and answer her, or continue to remain silent and pretend to be dead.

Just as she was wondering whether she should go out, she saw a figure walk out from behind her, walk past her without looking at her, and enter the kitchen.

Yu Yin was completely shocked. When did this person appear behind her? She hadn't noticed at all, and hadn't even heard a sound before he appeared.

If you want to kill her...

She's probably already dead.

Before she could finish speaking, her heart pounding with fear, she heard voices coming from the kitchen. She had already missed her chance to leave. To avoid attracting their attention, she could only stay put and listen to the conversation she didn't want to hear.

"I was just passing by on my way to the toilet in the middle of the night, I didn't mean to peep..." Lan Xiao's voice trembled with fear.

When Yu Yin heard Lan Xiao say that, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. So she wasn't the only one out for a night stroll.

In the kitchen.

Mu Yegui glanced at the spot where Yu Yin was standing outside, then turned his gaze to Lan Xiao, who was trembling with her head down.

"To the toilet? A physiological need? That direction seems to be the opposite of the kitchen. Did you go around in circles?" Her tone was indifferent, as if she didn't care much, but she didn't hesitate to expose Lan Xiao's lie.

"Why is Ye Gui here?" Lan Xiao asked timidly, looking at Mu Ye Gui.

"Waiting for you." With his cool, silver eyes fixed on her, Mu Yegui said slowly.

Lan Xiao was slightly taken aback, then frowned.

“I firmly believe that there must be someone with the opposite mission, and among them, you are the most likely candidate,” Mu Yegui continued.

"Why would you suspect me instead of Bell?" Lan Xiao asked, looking back at Mu Yegui.

Mu Yegui simply looked at Lan Xiao without saying a word.

Lan Xiao sighed softly, and said in a tone of helplessness, "I'm sorry, you guessed wrong. My mission is the same as yours, there's nothing different about it."

"Then, let me put it another way. Did you really receive a mission?" Mu Yegui lightly jumped off the stove and took a few steps forward. Lan Xiao subconsciously took a few steps back, seemingly afraid of Mu Yegui's approach.

"What...what do you mean?" Lan Xiao's tone was tinged with panic and fear.

The two were getting closer and closer. Lan Xiao was now pressed against the wall and could not retreat. There was a window next to her. Yu Yin outside the window quickly squatted down and covered her mouth with her hands. Even though she was trembling with nervousness, she tried her best to calm herself down and not make a sound.

"No, don't come near me..." Lan Xiao's face turned pale, as if she had thought of something bad, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Just as the two were only 15 centimeters apart, Mu Yegui stopped in her tracks. She looked down at the black butterfly fluttering past her feet, and slightly raised her bare foot as if to kick it away.

However, the next second Lan Xiao reached out and pushed Mu Yegui, and at the same time bent down, grabbed the black butterfly in her hand and ran to the side.

With a loud 'bang', dust billowed up.

Hearing the lingering sound from the corner of the wall outside the door and window, he trembled and covered his mouth tightly with both hands, trying his best not to shout out loud.

Although we don't know what happened inside, it certainly wasn't a good thing.

I really want to leave...

But his feet felt as heavy as if they were bound with lead, and he couldn't move them at all, so he could only squat passively in place.

"Just as I thought, butterflies can be your eyes and ears, helping you to find out all the information you want to know. When we entered the instance, that butterfly flew by to warn you, right? I heard it very clearly."

You clearly have paranoia, yet you're completely unafraid that this dungeon might harm you; your only fear from beginning to end is the players. This indicates you already knew what was going to happen in this dungeon, while you had only a superficial understanding of the players.

Mu Yegui's emotionless words kept coming, and Yu Yin wished she could go deaf. This information should never be known to her. If they found out she was eavesdropping, the only consequence would be death.

"These are just your guesses, not true. I have no reason to do so," Lan Xiao said in a low voice.

“You do have one thing in this copy that is why you have to do this.” Mu Yegui placed the perfectly intact bread on the windowsill.

A soft sound came from above. Yu Yin looked up and peeked out, only to find it was from that plate of bread.

The plate isn't positioned very well. If there's too much movement inside, it might tip over and fall on her head. Should we push the plate further in?
Yu Yin tried to stand up, but the moment she poked her head out, she squatted down and instead reached out shakily to move the plate little by little, as if afraid of being seen.

"What is it?" Lan Xiao lowered her eyes, and the hand holding the butterfly gradually clenched into a fist.

"As a resident of the Entertainment Kingdom, where intelligence is most easily obtained, you should easily know what the Crown Prince's item in this instance is like." Mu Yegui narrowed his eyes slightly, but his tone remained calm.

"I'm just an ordinary player in the Entertainment Kingdom..." Lan Xiao turned his head to the side and said softly.

"I've already said I've seen your '30-Second Quick Q&A.' If you're really just an ordinary player from the Entertainment Kingdom, then how do you know that the owner of the Information Shop is named Adele?"

This was the biggest question that arose in Mu Yegui's mind when he watched that program.

“Because I have read many biographies about Mr. Adele, of course I know about Mr. Adele’s charm…” Lan Xiao suddenly stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, her expression showing a hint of shock.

She let it slip.
