The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 191 The Marchers.

Qi Min answered casually, hesitating whether to use a treatment card on him, as he still had some questions to ask.

All we know so far is that the veteran's name is Lu Hefeng; we haven't had a chance to ask him anything else yet.

"Hah...cough cough cough...uh..."

Before Qi Min could make a decision, the previously motionless instance shakily woke up.

"Oh, you're awake? You've recovered pretty quickly."

Qi Min raised an eyebrow in surprise. Seeing how close he was to death, she thought she would need a healing card to save him. Perfect, she could save the card.

"Uh...cough cough, what's wrong with me? Ugh...my body hurts so much?"

Hearing his questioning tone, Qi Min realized something was wrong. Looking at the copy of the character, who was frowning in pain—no, it should be Luo Haoyu now—she looked at him.

Do you remember what just happened?

Qi Min looked at Luo Haoyu with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, his voice calm and devoid of emotion.

"What? What just happened? Where are we? We weren't just... Ouch, my head hurts so much, it feels like it's going to explode..."

Luo Haoyu struggled to sit up, clutching his head in obvious pain, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Qi Min frowned and thought for a moment, then guessed the general idea: the previous instance must have wanted to break free from Luo Haoyu's body.

He hadn't expected the card's effect to work on him as well, forcibly preventing him from leaving.

When dealing with the vines later, Qi Min didn't pay much attention to him. It's possible that while the vines were being powerfully electrocuted by him...

Luo Haoyu's body had already been wrapped up by the vines, and the effect of the imprisonment card probably expired at that time.

The copy has likely already forcibly broken free from his body and left; the current Luo Haoyu should be his own consciousness.

"You fainted. The monster chased us to where we were before, so for safety we're temporarily hiding here."

Now that you're awake, fulfill your promise to me. You haven't forgotten even that, have you?

Qi Min slowly withdrew the scrutiny from his eyes, and spoke tentatively with a hint of warning, his words carrying a slightly dangerous undertone.

"No... I haven't forgotten, but could I use a healing card first? My head really hurts..."

Sensing the threat in Qi Min's tone, Luo Haoyu spoke with a hint of pleading, still hoping Qi Min would help him escape the dungeon.

"No, let's finish what you promised first, then I'll give it to you. Hurry up, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I don't have the patience to wait any longer."

Qi Min's rejection was cold and indifferent, his impatience was undisguised, and he seemed completely unapproachable.

Luo Haoyu felt pain all over his body and wanted to get angry and refuse, but he couldn't beat Qi Min and needed his help, so he had no choice but to do as Qi Min asked.

After Luo Haoyu repeatedly assured that he had handed over everything in his backpack,

Qi Min was full of suspicion when he gave Luo Haoyu a healing card. Qi Min did not ask for Luo Haoyu's points, as he had enough points for him.

Qi Min didn't take any of the everyday items; they could be easily redeemed in the lower-tier shop. He simply gave these to Liu Yan.

It can be said that apart from Luo Haoyu's 'gift' of cards, Qi Min was not very interested in any of the others.

If Ling Yi hadn't been a new player and the inventory shop hadn't been unlocked yet, he would have packed all these items for Ling Yi.

As for Chen Xuan...

Who is this?

Qi Min said he didn't know him.

After everything was settled, Qi Min put away all the cards and was about to get up when the ground suddenly shook again.

"Boom..."

"What's wrong? Why is it vibrating again?"

Liu Yan, who was happily putting things into his backpack, looked around in surprise.

This place had been quiet all along, but now, for some reason, it suddenly began to tremble, just like the place where they had stayed before.

Qi Min felt the vibration coming from him, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The place behind this stone gate is a hidden side story of the castle, the kind that isn't very important. He only found out about it by chance later.

Logically speaking, even Aurora, one of the main NPCs in the castle, shouldn't know this.

This was because it was unearthed secretly by some servants who wanted to steal and sell the artifacts from the castle after they were forged.

Later, the house was discovered by the butler Rupert, but one of the servants was his son with his personal maid.

To protect his son from being discovered by those in power, Rupert secretly kept the matter a secret.

With certain permission, she even allowed her son to secretly amass a small amount of wealth.

That's why this passage was preserved; its secrecy has always been a secret.

Later, the castle's owner died in the war, and the castle came under the control of his only daughter, Miss Aurora.

Later, a 'protester' came to the castle and was inexplicably treated as the most honored guest by Aurora.

Aurora called him the guide, and from that moment on, the castle began to change.

First, some low-ranking servants died mysteriously, and then Aurora began to buy slaves from outside on a large scale.

Then one day, after Rupert was killed by Aurora in the name of sacrifice.

To prevent the passage from being discovered, Rupert's son placed the switch to open it under the middle coffin.

This coffin had always been used to hold various offerings and livestock; it had never been used before. After everything was set up,

Rupert's son, not wanting to become the next sacrifice, stole a large sum of money and resolutely left the castle, disappearing without a trace.

Rupert, having become a monster, has lost his most basic memories, leaving only his belief in serving the castle's master and his instinctive bloodlust and savagery as a monster.

It's safe to say that this passage is now unknown to anyone.

"Boom...boom..."

However, the constant tremors coming from near the stone gate told Qi Min that the passage had indeed been discovered.

"It's no longer safe here. We have to get out of here right away."

Qi Min turned around to check the area above the drooping vines. It was still slightly twilight above, indicating that it was only just approaching dawn and not yet daylight.

Even as dawn broke, the constant tremors left Qi Min with little time to test the chances that the vines that had attacked them might carry them out.

Suddenly, Qi Min thought of something, walked over to Ling Yi, and asked seriously.
