At this point, Qingkong had no other choice, so she let Vanessa hold her hand, walked to Zuota, sat down, and explained every step of her arrangement in detail...
The plan is clear, and action is taken immediately.
-
According to the princess' instructions, the maids ran outside the tent and shouted: "Is your Highness's bath water ready? Why is it so slow today?!"
After a while, two guards came in carrying a tub that could hold five or six people, and placed it in the center of the room, beyond the screen. After the guards left, Qingkong, who was hiding behind Zuota, crawled out and was pushed in front of the bathtub by the maids, only to see that it was filled with clear warm water, and there were many fragrant five-colored flower petals floating on it.
"Do you have to wash it?" Seeing the four maids standing around the bathtub staring at him, Qingkong felt burrs on his body and felt restless.
"The Dolly family usually likes water, and it's my habit to take a bath every night before going to bed. Even if it's an act, you have to perform a full set, otherwise, who knows where your feet will be exposed? You should hurry up and wash."
At the urging of the princess, Qingkong undressed and took a bath in full view for the first time. Even in the virtual world and body, she still felt extremely embarrassed, so she hurried out after soaking in the bathtub for less than five minutes.
The coarse cloth clothes and civilian equipment worn earlier had been received by the maids who did not know where. Qingkong put on the luxurious and sexy blue robe of the princess as planned, and then sat in front of the mirror and began to dress up. The maids parted her long hair, pulled out a few strands of long hair, braided a few thin braids and coiled the loose long hair around arcs, so as to tightly cover the ears, and then painted it in dark blue. Eyeliner and silver lip gloss, she already looks like Princess Vanessa.
After the dressing was completed, Qing Kong looked back and saw that the princess had also changed into a white short robe, a long peaked hat on her head, and a transparent gauze mask on her face. After being explained by the maid next to her, it turns out that this is the attire of women in military medicine, and it is also the only professional attire that can cover her hair color and face.
Afterwards, Vanessa walked to the side of the tub and watched the four maids work together to twist the upper half of the tub filled with water half a turn to one side, and then lifted it up—it turned out that The lower part of the tub is designed as a hollow space big enough to hide a person.
The princess lay down without hesitation, and the four maids then put the upper part of the barrel back in place and twisted it tightly.
The accompanying guards had already been waiting on both sides of the tent door. Hearing the maids' call, they entered the room and carried the bathtub out. Princess Vanessa successfully moved outside the tent, leaving Qingkong and four maids waiting. The next step is coming.
-
[After you go out, what should I do? ]
[wait. ]
[wait? ]
[Yes, from now on, you just need to lie on the bench and pretend to sleep, and what should come will come naturally—wait, that’s it. ]
-
Lying flat on the bench, Qing Kong repeated Vanessa's explanation in her mind, with a bitter musk tablet in her throat, and a glass bottle that was said to break when she exerted herself in her hand. Items given to her by the maid.
[When the assassin appears, immediately crush the glass bottle and sprinkle the liquid on his body, your mission will be accomplished, understand? ] Vanessa and the maid each reminded the core points of Clear Sky’s stand-in mission tonight, causing her to keep imagining hypothetical drills of various situations in her heart, and the most unknown and unpredictable thing in the imaginary process is—not knowing when it will appear assassins, and the way they somehow appeared—
She imagined that perhaps the assassins would cut open a certain part of the tent, break in with rags, or fall from the sky; they might also try to cause a fire or riot in order to divert the attention of the guards and maids, and then take advantage of the chaos to carry out the assassination? …
All these conjectures made Qingkong tense up, and kept scanning the entire space in the tent, in case a shadow full of murderous intent reflected on the brown-green tent...
After an unknown amount of time passed in the increasingly quiet world, Qingkong's tense brain began to relax a little. The musk tablet contained in the swollen throat has been completely absorbed. Although I don't know what the effect of this tablet is, in short, this thing made her mouth and tongue dry and her head swollen, so she wanted to get up and find a saliva to drink.
[Your voice is different from mine, so don't make any noise while pretending to be me. ] This is another reminder from Vanessa earlier, so, if you can’t call out to the maid for help, then get up and get it yourself.
Qingkong leaned down and was about to stand up with her feet on the ground when she suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound... She suddenly raised her head vigilantly and looked around, but she couldn't tell the source of the sound. And the four maids standing at the entrance of the tent seemed unmoved, it seems that they didn't feel any changes
At this moment, Qingkong sat up from the table, she walked to the wooden table placed on the side of the wall, picked up a cup filled with spring water prepared by the maid earlier, and cleaned it up. The water flowed down her throat, making a "gurgling" sound, but at the same time, there was another "buzzing" sound in her ears.
Putting down the water glass, she frowned slightly and looked around, then met the gaze of the previous maid who looked back. Just as she was about to ask, the other party raised her index finger to her mouth, making a silent gesture. Qing Kong had to lie back in his original position, wondering if it was some kind of auditory hallucination caused by being too nervous.
Lying flat on the mat, she tried to take a deep breath calmly, once, twice... ten times, but... what puzzled her was that the intermittent "buzzing" sound seemed to be getting closer. Her eyes flicked around, but there was no change. For a while, she couldn't think of what kind of friction would make such a grinding sound. The strangest thing was that the maids at the door didn't make any noise from the beginning to the end. respond. So, only she can hear it? Why…
The clear sky is staring straight at the zenith of the camp. The cork is evenly arranged to support the entire space, exuding a beautiful umbrella shape, focusing the vision on one place, and bringing the balance to one point, the origin of the room...
[Origin...] Qingkong's brain nerve intuition precedes all other perceptions, and puts the center of gravity of the entire hearing in the center of the room—the strange sound really became more and more intense, and the speed of sound intensification was almost at a few seconds. In a matter of seconds—the moment Qingkong finally understood the source of the sound, a strong arm broke through the ground, easily shattered the barrier, and hugged Qingkong's neck to death. She dragged it underground!
Qingkong was startled by this sudden attack and her mind went blank, but resistance was a natural conditioned reflex. She raised her hands almost in milliseconds and tried to break away the giant hand that strangled her neck. The glass bottle in her hand shattered on the arm of the giant hand, a stream of crimson liquid immediately flowed onto the assassin's body, and of course Qingkong's body was not less stained.
[When the assassin appears, immediately crush the glass bottle and sprinkle the liquid on his body, your mission will be accomplished, understand? ]—The crimson liquid contained a pungent fishy smell, which reminded Qing Kong of the princess's confession to him earlier. This made the girl who was strangled almost out of breath and had been dragged into the endless dark tunnel, a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart...
The rumbling sound naturally alarmed the maids in the room and the guards outside the door, and the whole camp erupted, but Qingkong didn't know what was going on outside, she could only see darkness in front of her eyes, her arms, legs, feet, body Constantly being rubbed by stones and moving at high speed, the pain stirred the feeling of suffocation, it was the feeling of dying... Just when she decided that this wave of assassin attacks tonight would send herself to the tunnel of bones she saw in the black, white and gray world At that time, a slippery feeling suddenly rose from the soles of her feet, sliding over her body, arms, and cheeks. With the sound of "hissing", her body finally stopped the rhythm of being dragged away, and then she I heard piercing screams behind me, which lasted for a long time...
-
After being released in the darkness for nearly ten seconds, Clear Sky finally came to his senses and wanted to escape. Although she couldn't see anything around her, she still knew that if she crawled in the opposite direction, she might find the exit, so she moved in the direction of her toes in the narrow passage.
After moving for less than a few minutes, she immediately felt layers of stone chips falling on her face, presumably caused by someone knocking holes in the ground. At the same time, she heard someone calling her name not far away, it was the voice of one of the maids—
"Clear sky! Clear sky!! Hear answer me, are you far from the entrance of the cave?!"
"I... I'm here, I can hear your voice, it shouldn't be far away!"
Clear Sky responded, and immediately got an answer—"Our people crawled in to save you, don't be afraid!"
Not long after, she really saw a flame gradually lighting up, which must have been brought in by the guards who climbed in, and the girl finally eased her anxiety a little.
-
She was dragged and dragged by the guards to rescue her from the cave in disgrace. As soon as the clear sky appeared, a maid put a brand new thick fleece blanket on her, and called the medical lady to treat her skin trauma.
After looking around, but did not see the princess, Qing Kong was a little worried, so he asked, "Is your highness okay?"
"His Royal Highness should be waiting to interrogate the prisoner, and she is fine for the time being." The maid who was waiting on the side replied.
"Ah? Did the assassin catch it?!" Qingkong was a little surprised. In her memory, although she was lucky not to be dragged away, the assassin should be able to escape from the bottomless dark tunnel, right
As if understanding her doubts, the maid replied with a smile: "You can definitely catch it, otherwise the assassin will surely die, as long as you successfully expose the red starfish bile to his body - that is the smell that the poisonous snake cannot resist. , as long as the object is contaminated with this smell, they can't help but bite it firmly, tie it to death, and immerse themselves in the mysterious smell and refuse to listen to any orders."
[So that's how it is...] Qing Kong finally understood the effect of that bottle of mysterious liquid. But what made her feel very strange was why she, who was also stained with the bile of the red starfish, didn't become the target of the water resentment poisonous snake? Then he expressed his doubts: "The assassin was attacked by a poisonous snake...why am I fine with the bile of the red starfish?"
"That's because of the musk tablet you sucked earlier. It's the most disgusting smell of the venomous snake. And after the musk penetrates your body, the smell is strong enough to overwhelm the bile smell of the red sea star." .”
The whole stand-in incident finally came to light, and Qing Kong unconsciously admired Princess Vanessa's delicate thoughts and thorough planning.
At this moment, more fire lights suddenly lit up outside the tent, and there were more and more noisy sounds.
Her Royal Highness, who was silently praising in Qingkong's heart, suddenly lifted the canvas of the tent, walked in hastily, and said to the maid: "Quick! - Change my clothes quickly, there is an unexpected visitor!"
