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

Chapter 513, Section 2.1: Playing the Role
After Shui Qi left, Mu Yegui glanced down at the message on his phone, his expression unchanged, but he could vaguely sense the danger.

"What's wrong?" The black-haired man sat down in the spot where Shui Qi had been sitting, looked at her quietly for several seconds, and asked.

“I sent Jafar to the Fairy Tale Kingdom to discuss the dungeon with Fish, but Jafar just messaged me saying that Fish has gone missing. According to Jean, he was not found until around the day our crown prince arrived. It seems that he was hidden by someone, as there were no signs of a struggle at the scene.”

It's as if they deliberately prevented her from contacting Fish. Who would do something like this? Fish isn't particularly strong in terms of martial arts. At least, she's no match for martial arts geniuses like Jafar and Zhu Yan.

The absence of signs of a struggle at the scene means that Fish left voluntarily without any resistance. Either the person was incredibly strong, or they reached some kind of agreement with Fish.

The dark-haired man said in a low voice, "Generally speaking, the most suspicious person is Lazy, but he's not stupid. If it wasn't done on purpose, he wouldn't have done something that anyone with eyes could see."

"What if it's not laziness?" Mu Yegui asked.

Fish's first thought after his disappearance was that Lazy was up to something, given his numerous previous underhanded actions, which made everyone suspicious. However, once he ruled him out, the options disappeared; there wasn't a single suspect to be found, making it like searching for a needle in a haystack.

There are three guesses.

First, the culprit is laziness, deliberately drawing attention to oneself so that one subconsciously overlooks the possibility of him when considering him.

Second, the real culprit is not laziness. There are other people behind the scenes trying to frame laziness, so that everyone's attention will be drawn to laziness and its existence will be ignored.

Third, the culprit is laziness. It's simply a matter of preparing in advance to stop her, even if she's suspected, it doesn't matter, since there's no way to take her back from him anyway. It even carries a hint of warning in it.

To be honest, ignoring points one and three, it's really hard to imagine which one could be the mastermind behind it all.

Pride disdains such petty tricks; Jealousy, being her apostle, wouldn't hide it from her; Wrath lacks the brains for it; Greed may or may not be long, but he has no reason to do so; Gluttony, with its detached attitude, clearly doesn't want to get involved; Lust's memories haven't returned, and since they've been together every day, anyone hiding would have acted long ago.

If we ignore the seven sins, no one else would dare to act in the territory of lust.

In conclusion, laziness remains the most likely explanation, making it hard not to suspect him.

"Whether it is or not, it means we have to give up on Fish. You don't have time to look for Fish." More than two months have passed in the instance; a lot of big things must have happened by now.

Mu Yegui lowered her head in thought, her cold silver eyes looking at her sharp nails. After a few minutes of silence, she slowly stood up and said, "Let's go."

The black-haired man chuckled softly and followed Mu Yegui out.

The moment he stepped out the door, his black, tousled hair transformed into long, silver hair cascading down his back. His casual clothes also turned into silver armor, and a faint smile graced his handsome face, revealing adorable dimples.

This is undoubtedly what Jafar looks like.

He slightly raised his hand to his thin lips and whistled a slightly sharp whistle.

All they heard was the sound of wings flapping in the air, accompanied by a whistling sound, and a white Pegasus landed in front of them.

Mu Yegui glanced at him, seemingly asking where the Pegasus came from. "It's from Jafar, but now I am Jafar. As long as I whistle, it will mistake me for Jafar," he chuckled softly as he spoke.

The next second, he raised his head, and his entire demeanor became exactly like that of Jafar himself.

Jealousy wrapped an arm around Mu Yegui's waist and, while mounting the horse, carried her on horseback in a half-hug manner. Her scarlet eyes were fixed intently on Mu Yegui's profile as she slowly said, "Master, let's go."

In less than a day, the two arrived at the entrance to the ruins.

Jealousy took out a contact lens case and used the lenses to cover her scarlet eyes, revealing her dark orange eyes.

He deliberately used this color of colored contact lenses to remind Mu Yegui not to forget who he was.

At that time, red eyes were associated with dark creatures and were considered something to be rejected, so he chose to use colored contact lenses to conceal them to avoid this. Of course, don't ask why he didn't just use his natural eye color from the beginning.

Jealousy is a star, not only a model and fashion designer but also an actor, always demanding perfection in his portrayal of others unless it is intentional.

Therefore, it is only natural to use colored contact lenses to change to your own eye color instead of using your own eye color from the beginning. This is not redundant, but rather to avoid attracting the attention of lazy people.

At that time, using abilities unrelated to the role he was playing might be discovered, and he didn't want to ruin his persona, so it was best to play the role perfectly from the beginning, including every action and even his name.

From now on, he is not jealous, but Jafar.

“Last time we entered, Bell, Daolin, and I were all separated. I guess it was because there was no physical contact, otherwise Rachel and the others who were tied together when we first entered wouldn’t have been teleported to the same place.”

She had this idea because Laki and the others were teleported to one place while they were separated.

Mu Yegui reached out and touched the sword hanging at her waist. It was the sword that Jafar had presented to her during the knighthood ceremony, and as its owner, she naturally had to carry it with her at all times.

There were two reasons for inviting Fisch: first, to borrow his abilities, and second, to attract Lanlos's attention. However, Fisch hasn't used his 'unconventional' ability since the September instance, and if he hadn't disappeared, it's unclear whether he would still be able to use it.

That world has hidden restrictions; all items will be confiscated the moment you enter, but the crown prince's privileges and his own abilities will not be erased.

Although Mu Yegui could disregard the rules, the items were confiscated the moment she entered the instance, which was a mandatory process, before anyone could react. Moreover, she didn't know where the confiscated items would be stored.

The privilege of ignoring the rules is useless in this matter; unless she finds the treasure vault and retrieves the items, there's nothing she can do.

Muyegui grabbed Jiafa'er's wrist and reached out to touch the magnificent mural.

With a flash of light, the two disappeared from the spot.
