I will be a boss in the future world

When I hurried back to the palace, the sky had gradually changed from deep darkness to a faint dawn. At this moment, the entire palace was like a sleeping giant, quiet and solemn.

Yuying carefully found a corner where no one could notice her and quickly changed into the clothes she was wearing when she left the room.

Accompanied by the faint light of morning light, Yu Ying quietly moved towards the king's residence, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of making the slightest sound.

Finally, she came to the door and gently pushed open the tightly closed door.

When the door opened, a faint fishy smell hit me. The empty wine glasses from last night were still placed on the dining table, as if silently telling the story of last night. They stood there alone, as if waiting for their owner to return again.

"Queen...Queen, save me!!"

Just as Yuying raised her foot and prepared to step forward, she felt someone grabbing her ankle. She lowered her head and looked in the direction of the hand, and saw a woman whose face was covered in blood and could not be seen clearly. She was crawling on the ground, grabbing her ankle in pain and begging for help.

The woman in front of him was in tattered clothes, with marks of whipping all over her body. Her flesh and blood were blurred, and her messy hair and tears were stuck to her face, making it look even more horrible and difficult to recognize her true appearance.

Yuying frowned, struggled to free her feet from the woman's hands, and took several steps back to create some distance between them.

The place where the woman had just grabbed me began to feel strangely numb and quickly spread to the surrounding skin, emitting a strange smell in the air that I had not smelled when I first came in.

Only now did she suddenly realize that the whole room was filled with a disgusting fishy smell.

"Queen...run...quickly..."

The woman crawling on the ground was moaning in pain, and the words she uttered were unclear. Yu Ying's heart trembled, and he stepped forward to brush away the hair stuck on her face.

"Main!?"

The woman lying on the ground was actually Myne! ?

She was shocked, something bad was happening!

"Tsk, tsk, what a wonderful show of the deep love between master and servant."

Just when I realized that the matter might have been exposed, the king came out of the house with a large group of people.

Yuying pursed her lips, hugged the dying Mayin with one hand, and stroked her back with the other hand to secretly heal her, then looked down at Mayin's bloody face.

"Main, how are you?"

"Instead of worrying about others, worry about yourself."

Facing the king's ridicule, Yu Ying's tone remained calm, as if she was not affected at all, and she just said lightly: "I don't understand what you are saying."

All I can do now is to insist that I know nothing and deny everything.

He rushed forward, squatted down and grabbed Yuying's chin tightly.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

He gritted his teeth and questioned, "First you drugged me and stole my token, and then you went to save your little lover."

"Then rush back before I wake up and pretend you know nothing."

"Isn't this your entire battle plan?"

"..."

"What little lover? I really don't understand what you are talking about."

Yuying met his gloomy gaze without dodging or avoiding, without any fear on her face.

"Are you talking back?"

He pursed his lips and tightened his grip on Yuying's chin.

"I just don't understand. Even if you force me, I still won't understand!"

Enduring the pain in her chin, Yuying frowned and looked at him and answered.

"..."

"Bring the people up."

At the king's command, a man among the guards stepped forward, holding his abdomen and slightly hunched over.

"Repeat to the Queen what you just told me."

"Yes."

The guard nodded respectfully.

"Last night, the Queen entered the palace's secret prison with your Highness' token, took away the prisoners, and killed and injured several people from the first squad."

"The prisoner the queen kidnapped has special abilities. I saw with my own eyes that the person standing behind that man was the queen herself!"

"..."

He stared into Yuying's eyes and said, "Did you hear that clearly? Do you have anything else to explain?"

Yu Ying said nothing: "..."

"You still don't admit it?"

He suddenly released the hand that was restraining Yuying's chin and looked at Mayin, who was lying on the ground and dying, with amusement.

The powerful force came like a surging wave, and the next second, the king's fingers had tightly grasped Marin's throat.

Marin couldn't breathe, her face turned even paler in an instant, and she let out a painful groan from her throat. Due to lack of oxygen, the veins on her forehead began to bulge, clearly visible, as if they were about to burst.

"She has admitted that she gave you the drugs."

"What are you doing! Let her go!"

Ma Yin looked at Yu Ying with eyes full of pleading and fear. She held Yu Ying's hand tightly and begged her for help, as if she wanted to get a glimmer of redemption and hope from her.

Yuying reached out without hesitation to pull the king's arm, trying to get him to loosen his grip on Mayin, but no matter how hard she tried, it was useless. On the contrary, every time she increased her strength, the king would tighten his fingers more cruelly, making Mayin's situation more dangerous.

"Okay! I admit it!"

Ma Yin helped her and she didn’t want to kill her because of this.

Yuying looked at him coldly, "Can you let her go?"

He smiled but said nothing, his hands still tightly around Myne's neck.

"Tell me, where did you hide him?"

"..."

"Aren't you going to say yes?"

He tightened his grip on Myne's neck again.

Myne's eyeballs bulged slightly and her entire face turned purple.

"..."

Yu Ying pursed her lips tightly, trying to convince herself in her heart that even if Mayin was a player with human consciousness like them, she was not as important as Xu Yechen's safety.

Huai Zhen didn’t know how long it would take to send Xu Yechen back to the real world, so she couldn’t take any risks.

"Don't waste your energy, even if you strangled me to death."

"I won't tell you either!"

"..."

His aura grew increasingly gloomy. His fingers slowly loosened their grip on Myne and he stood up slowly and gracefully.

"Follow the footprints and smell of the queen when she broke into prison, and search the whole country."

"I don't believe a remnant soldier can run very far on his own."

"As for the Queen, since she has released the prisoners, then..."

"She will go to jail in place of the prisoner."

In the dark, cold and musty cell, Yu Ying lay quietly with her eyes closed on the hard and icy bed. The walls around her were covered with black spots and moss due to long-term moisture. The air was filled with suffocating moisture, and every breath was filled with a strong smell of decay.

The entire prison was deathly silent. Not a single sound could break the awful tranquility. Only drops of water dripped from the roof, occasionally falling on the worn-out bed boards, making a "tick-tick" sound that echoed in the empty cell.

How long have you been locked up?

She didn't know it herself.

It was dark here, with no sunlight, and it was impossible to tell the time.

Yuying's face was as pale as paper, her hands tightly covering her abdomen, her body shaking uncontrollably, and she curled up on the wet, moldy, and shabby wooden bed.

I've never felt this way before -

The pain of hunger and fatigue intertwined together, as if millions of ants were gnawing at her body at the same time.

She had not drunk a drop of water or eaten a bite of food since she came out of that cruel and bloody arena. And escorting Xu Yechen safely away from this dangerous place had exhausted her last bit of strength and spirit.

At this moment, her stomach felt like it was being kneaded by a ruthless hand, and severe pain came in waves. Every spasm was like a sharp sword piercing her body, bringing endless torture.

Yuying couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps she was not really suitable to fix these bugs. Every time she tried to solve the problem, it seemed to only make the situation worse. If it was Shiyuan, he would probably only agree with her to destroy the existing bugs by herself, of course, on the premise of completing the employer's task.

On second thought, I wonder if Huai Zhen and the others have received Xu Yechen's call...

I should have asked Shi Yuan to help me open a backdoor to escape, so that I wouldn't end up trapped in prison...

Tired, hungry and thirsty, Yuying's eyelids finally couldn't hold up anymore and she slowly closed her eyes.

In the hazy state, his consciousness seemed to fall into chaos, but his body felt extremely uncomfortable and he could not fall asleep peacefully. At this moment——

A slight "creaking" sound was heard, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent environment, as if it was the sound of a door being opened.

Yuying tried hard to pry open her eyelids, which felt as heavy as a thousand-pound burden, so that she could see clearly who had entered the room. However, no matter how she struggled, her eyes seemed to be filled with lead and were tightly closed, unable to open even a crack.

At this moment, only her keen hearing could come in handy. She heard a rhythmic sound of footsteps coming from far away. The sound was like someone wearing leather shoes approaching her with steady and slow steps.

As the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground became clearer and clearer, the distance became closer and closer, and finally stopped in front of her...

After a moment, a slight sound of clothing friction came into his ears, and Yuying realized that an invisible force was gradually approaching.

This person... is also a mutant!

The breath filled with male hormones slowly approached her, and her body was surrounded by a cold breath...

She felt a pair of broad, cold hands gently caressing her cheeks, sliding gently from her forehead to the tip of her nose, and slowly tucking the loose hair that was tightly attached to Yuying's face behind her ears. It was obviously an extremely gentle action, but she only felt the cold temperature.

"turn out to be……"

"…It seems like we are destined to be together."

"You're still so interesting..."

"But... you still haven't recognized me yet..."

The boy's voice was vague and hoarse, like a call from an endless abyss. It sounded intermittently in the ears, making people's hearts tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, Yuying felt her hand being held up and a slightly warm kiss placed on the back of her hand.

"The cat and mouse game begins."

The hand was gently put down, the cold masculine scent dissipated, and Yuying fell into sleep again.

……

When consciousness gradually returned, it was still impossible to determine how much time had passed.

Yuying slowly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a long and deep dream. Her body seemed to have regained vitality, and the feeling of exhaustion was much relieved, but the feeling of hunger was still there.

It seems like I have recovered a lot of my strength, except that I'm still hungry.

Yuying supported herself on the bed with her hands and sat up, then she hammered her head. Her head was aching from sleeping for so long.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in my mind, and some memory flashed in my mind——

Yuying looked at her right hand blankly and slowly touched the skin on the back of her hand.

Suddenly I can’t tell whether the things in my memory are dreams or reality.

She was too lazy to think about it anymore. It must be a dream. How could anyone come into such a place?

Yuying stood up and stretched. The hard times will eventually come to an end. Didn’t Xu Yichen say that he would come back? At the latest, it will be that time.

!!!

When I stretched, I noticed that the door was open!

Yuying hurried forward——

As soon as she reached the door, she bumped into someone. She frowned and quickly took a few steps back to see who was coming...

Zheng Shanhui!

What is she doing here!?

"..."

The woman with delicate and cold makeup also looked at the opened lock with a little surprise, and then looked at Yuying with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You opened this lock?"

"..."

Yuying didn't say anything.

"..."

Zheng Shanhui looked at the lock again, then at the silent Yuying, with a thoughtful expression, as if he was recalling something, or as if he was judging and thinking.

Soon, Zheng Shanhui looked at Yuying with certainty, hatred and jealousy.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and helped you that day."

"If you didn't soften your heart at that moment, how could you stand here peacefully?"

As she spoke, she moved closer step by step. Yuying frowned and looked at her vigilantly, without moving at all, until she stopped just one step away from Yuying.

The two were so close that they could even feel the heat of each other's breath.

"It's really hard not to feel pity for this defensive little face."

"..."

Yuying did not dare to relax at all, and concentrated all her mental strength, fearing that Zheng Shanhui would take advantage of her if she was not careful.

He knew that the other party possessed powerful mental control abilities, and if he was careless, he would be doomed.

"What do you want?"

"I know you are not from this virtual world."

After saying that, Zheng Shanhui looked at her mockingly, "So what?"

"Xu Yichen also knows about this. If you dare to do anything to me, the entire TOX will not let you go."

"Oh my, I'm so scared."

Zheng Shanhui pretended to be very scared and looked at Yuying in a funny way.

"..."

I wanted to threaten her with this matter, but she seemed like she didn't care at all.

"Since I decided to help you on the day of the bet, I won't do anything to you in the palace."

"I'm just here to confirm one thing today. You just need to cooperate."

Yuying frowned, "What do you want to do...?"

"You just need to look into my eyes..."

"look into my eyes……"

She was startled and turned her head away quickly, but she was only less than two seconds late. Her brain seemed to obey Zheng Shanhui's order uncontrollably, and then everything in front of her eyes became blurry.

I don't know anything about it.
