Chapter 29: Black and White Mystery (11)

The prison gate was opened with a loud noise. Qi Ming hid behind the stone wall at the corner and quietly poked his head to look in the direction of the cell where the White Queen was.

Although he was a little far away, he could still tell that the person was dressed elegantly and was not an ordinary person.

Qi Ming narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the only people who could wear crowns in the entire palace were the king and the queen.

And if you look closely, the woman’s clothes and the crown on her head seemed to be exactly the same as the broken crown beside the White Queen.

Moir stared at the “White Queen” who had just entered with his eyes wide open. Although he was shocked, his reason told him that it was not appropriate to make any sound or move at this time.

He silently endured it, but his eyes were fixed on the cell, and his breathing was heavy.

Why are there two White Queens?

Which White Queen is the real one?

What exactly happened in the Palace of El?

From the perspective of the three people, they could only see the “White Queen” walking to the cell, and then she clenched her hands, her body heaving, and she seemed very emotional.

Bai You thought that the black chess force must have said something to the weak and fallen White Queen.

Yes, Bai You did not think that the woman outside the prison was the real White Queen. In the situation of that chess game, the White Queen was obviously the weaker party, just like now, imprisoned by the black chess party.

Well…

Just why?

Bai You was thinking about a question.

According to the current situation, since the black chess party can replace her, they can completely kill the White Queen, but they did not do so, but just locked her up.

The “White Queen” did not bring a servant with her when she came in, which means that she must have known that this was undoubtedly an act that retained hidden dangers. If the people in the palace found that the White Queen was imprisoned in the cell, the consequences would be disastrous.

So…

Bai You stared at the two white figures in the distance. They seemed to be talking, but the atmosphere was not good. Perhaps it was the “White Queen” who unilaterally crushed her and mocked or threatened her.

Finally, the “White Queen” threw her mink cloak and left the prison. After the prison door was closed, the weak White Queen suddenly collapsed and leaned against the big mirror.

Before Qi Ming made any move, Bai You walked out of the darkness and walked to the cell where the White Queen was imprisoned.

Getting closer, he could finally see the White Queen’s appearance. Her face was pale and she seemed to fall down at any time.

She was too thin. The queen’s clothes that originally fit her were now loose and tattered.

Bai You paid more attention to the mirror. It turned out that the mirror was not pitch black. It was showing some pictures like a video.

The orcs in the city who were cursed and lost consciousness and attacked the citizens crazily, and the citizens who were infected and died after being attacked by the orcs, the tragedy was one after another, and it kept switching until Bai You saw one of the scenes, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

On the high altar, the girl in a white dress was intertwined with the blazing fire. Even if he couldn’t hear the sound, Bai You felt endless unwillingness and regret from their eyes.

Bai You saw a familiar face from them.

She was the youngest among the few people, and looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, but the expression on her face was different from that of others. Her eyes were very calm, and she seemed to feel no pain at all.

“Is she your friend?”

A hoarse female voice suddenly sounded, which made Bai You come back to his senses, and his eyes were pulled away from the mirror and looked at the source of the sound.

After a moment of silence, her voice was very light.

“…… probably.”

The White Queen coughed violently because of her speech. She finally managed to calm down and looked at Bai You with a look of apology in her eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Bai You shook her head, “This has nothing to do with you.”

She could see that the mirror was obviously placed here by the “White Queen” of the black side.

As for the intention, it was just to mentally torture the White Queen and threaten her to achieve her own goals.

“Judging from your clothes, you are also the saint of Verdi Castle.”

Bai You did not refute, but acquiesced, waiting for the White Queen’s next words.

“The mirror behind me is a predictive mirror, and the time it predicts is tomorrow. It takes one night to get to the Altar of Light from here.”

The White Queen straightened her back as much as possible and stood up from the mirror she was leaning on, her voice was unstable.

“Hiss… That means you still have time to save your friend.”

Bai You looked at her steadily. Even though she had fallen to such a state, the elegance and dignity in the queen’s bones could not be crushed.

She half squatted down, looked at Queen Bai at eye level, and spoke in a calm tone.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

Queen Bai stared at the girl’s clear blue eyes, and her thoughts that had been silent for a long time suddenly loosened for a moment.

Perhaps…it would be a better choice to pin hope on others than to be helpless in prison and watch the current situation.

…

When they left the El Palace, it was already dark. Mor was drafted and forced to carry the two people to fly away from the palace and fly back to Verdi Castle as Bai You wanted.

“How credible do you think Queen Bai’s words are?” Qi Ming asked.

“All of them.” Bai You replied without hesitation, “She has no need to lie anymore. We are her last straw.”

What Queen Bai told them was basically consistent with what Mor had described, except that some unknown details were added.

For example, who passed the news of the discovery of the gem to the king, and how the king sent miners to dig in the absence of the queen, etc.

The queen was out of the country for socializing at the time, and when she returned, the news of the miners’ alienation into orcs came. With no other choice, she could only temporarily imprison all the orcs.

The king believed in God and asked the messenger of the Temple of Light to come and check the situation. The messenger said that this was a curse, and there was no other way except to open an altar to drive away the curse.

And the way to drive away the curse was also very simple, requiring the blood of girls between ten and eighteen years old.

The queen was different from the king. She did not believe in these things, and did not want her people to be hurt, so she immediately denied this method.

But the queen didn’t expect that the king had already colluded with the people of the Temple of Light. After the conversation failed, he directly showed his sword and locked her up, imprisoned until now.

“That’s right.”

Qi Ming leaned back with his hands, feeling the wind whistling past his ears.

“But I’m a little surprised. Is this dungeon so long? And… “

Two days have passed since entering the dungeon. Bai You was also very surprised. Usually the dungeon is finished in a day at most, but it is obvious that the plot of this dungeon has just progressed.

Bai You asked curiously: “And what?”

Qi Ming turned his head to look at her and said bluntly: “Isn’t this a horror game, but until now, have you felt the horror atmosphere?”

He thought carefully, “Only the escape room at the beginning is a little interesting. I feel that now it is no different from those games that explore the map and follow the plot.”

This is also the reason why he has been silent and uninvolved. He is a little bit unmotivated.

Bai You was slightly stunned.

She was so focused on the plot that she ignored this aspect.

As a player, Qi Ming only wanted to play horror games, so he would pay attention to this aspect and it would be easy to see whether the dungeon was scary or not.

So… why is there such a long dungeon in the game that does not meet the standards of a horror dungeon?

“And you said we are also in the chess game, which means,” Qi Ming paused, took out his king chess piece, and said his guess: “We who get the chess piece will become part of this chess game, is that right?”

Bai You nodded.

Qi Ming suddenly sighed, “I hope this dungeon will be more exciting next time, I am so sleepy.”

He has no interest in this kind of plot-oriented game, and horror and excitement are more to his liking.

Bai You hummed softly as a response, and then suddenly thought of something and asked him: “Can you exit the dungeon now?”

“Of course, although I don’t know the dungeon information, the forced exit is definitely still there…”

Qi Ming said as he clicked on the location of the exit button in his memory. Normally, a box would appear to prompt whether to confirm the exit and lose all the rewards obtained, but now there was no response.

After trying to click several times, Qi Ming’s hand passed through the air without any obstruction, let alone touching the exit button.

“What’s going on… Where’s the exit button?!”

Qi Ming was confused and puzzled, and looked up at Bai You. Seeing that she looked calm and not surprised at all, he suddenly realized: “You knew you couldn’t exit?”

That’s why you asked him that, right?

Bai You exhaled slowly, without hiding anything, and said frankly: “I guess so. In fact, I have encountered the situation of the exit key disappearing and the inability to receive system messages in the previous copy of the Seventh Middle School, but I was the only one there.”

“It happened before? Is this a problem with the game or is the copy process like this?” Qi Ming asked.

Bai You was silent for a moment, “I don’t know.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ming suddenly slapped the back of his head, “Oh, look at what I asked. You are not a game administrator, how can you know such a thing? Blame me, blame me.”

He kept talking, muttering: “It doesn’t seem to be a problem with the dungeon process. Normally, no matter what dungeon it is, players have the right to force quit. In the last dungeon, only you couldn’t quit, but in this dungeon, it becomes two of us. So it must be a bug in the game.”

“Tsk, I don’t know what this game administrator does. He doesn’t fix such a serious bug. I will complain to him after the dungeon is over!”

Game Administrator Bai You: “…”

Author has something to say:

Bai You: …Have you ever thought of a possibility that the game administrator is also trapped in the game?
