The backdrop can also be propped up.

After taking Li Hongying to his residence, Fang Cheng went out to find Wang Jianhua. Following the directions given by Gu Huayang, Fang Cheng successfully found Wang Jianhua.

After listening to what Fang Cheng had to say, Wang Jianhua said he understood. He went back into the house, took down his kerosene lamp, and then found four small, portable containers for holding water in his room. He said to Fang Cheng, "The place to fetch water isn't far from here. Let's fetch the water and then go over."

Fang Cheng thought about it and agreed that it would be a good idea; bringing some water along the way would reduce the number of times he had to come out to get water.

So Fang Cheng and Wang Jianhua each took two jars as long as their faces to the well to fetch water, where they encountered Chen Yi'an, who was alone.

Although Chen Yi'an had run away with the stack of clue papers, Fang Cheng still felt it was quite dangerous to leave him and Fu Qu alone here. Since they could run away anyway, they might as well leave together.

When Chen Yi'an saw Fang Cheng and the others arrive, he cautiously reached into his pocket—inside was a knife, which was the reward he had received for completing the task of throwing a book into the third-floor window.

Upon seeing the kerosene lamp, Chen Yi'an knew they were players and relaxed slightly. However, he still didn't take the hand holding the knife out of his pocket and instead asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Fang Cheng explained how to leave this instance world. After he finished, Fang Cheng looked at Chen Yi'an's face and asked cautiously, "We need to fetch more water for self-defense to prevent ourselves from being burned by the fire—this well can still be used to draw water, right?"

“Okay, you can go ahead and draw water. The bucket is by the well.” Chen Yi’an stepped aside, revealing a low well to Fang Cheng and Wang Jianhua.

"Ah, okay, Uncle Wang, how about I fetch some water?" Fang Cheng said. "You go to my room first and meet up with Gu Huayang and the others."

"My goodness, those buckets are so heavy, how can a little girl like you carry them?" Wang Jianhua said, while stuffing two cans into Fang Cheng's arms, and rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Here, I'll fill them for you, you can fill them up."

Fang Cheng wanted to decline again, but after she freed one hand to hold the wooden bucket, she handed it to Wang Jianhua. There was no other way; the bucket was really heavy. After only two seconds of lifting it, Fang Cheng felt a slight pain in her palm.

Wang Jianhua hung the wooden bucket on the hook above the well and bent over to turn the small turntable next to the well. With a creaking sound, the wooden bucket slowly fell into the well.

The three waited by the well for a while. Judging by the time, the water should be ready, so Wang Jianhua continued to bend over and lift the wooden bucket full of water up.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." The wooden bucket slowly rose up, and the moonlight reflected on the water in the bucket became clearer and clearer.

Just as the bucket was about to rise, while Fang Cheng and Wang Jianhua were both focused on the water, a pair of hands suddenly appeared from behind Wang Jianhua and shoved him violently into the well.

Fang Cheng didn't react in time, but he still dropped the jar in his hands, grabbed Wang Jianhua's clothes, and used all his strength to drag Wang Jianhua out of the well.

Fang Cheng alone couldn't drag Wang Jianhua, who was twice her width. The fact that the two of them didn't fall down together was thanks to Wang Jianhua's strong arms as a worker and his body, which was almost as wide as the well opening.

Remembering that Chen Yi'an was still standing by the well, Fang Cheng anxiously called out to him, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, are you there? Brother Chen, come and help me! Uncle Wang is about to fall into the well!"

There was no response from behind for a long time.

"Brother Chen?" Fang Cheng, sweat beading on his forehead, frowned as he looked at Wang Jianhua, who was barely holding up the well, and called out to Chen Yi'an again, but his voice was much softer than before.

"Who gave you permission to call me that?" Chen Yi'an's voice came from behind, sounding impatient and disgusted.

"Then, then, then, Chen Yi'an! Come over here and help me pull Uncle Wang out!" Fang Cheng didn't understand why Chen Yi'an was making such a fuss, but the most important thing was to pull Wang Jianhua out of the well first.

"Still begging for my help? Hmph." Chen Yi'an's words were laced with obvious contempt. "We're on opposite sides."

"Opposite side... what do you mean? Aren't our opposites the eldest and second young ladies?" Fang Cheng's mind was confused by Chen Yi'an's words. She quickly thought of a possibility and said in horror, "You, you are a ghost! You, what did you do to the original Brother Chen?"

"Who's the ghost?" Chen Yi'an's voice suddenly rose, he sounded very angry, "I'm a human!"

Fang Cheng was even more confused now: "Then why did you do this? We were clearly together."

“Since you want to know why I did this, I’ll just tell you everything,” Chen Yi’an said, her feet rustling on the grass. “The clues Fu Qu and I found told us that this instanced world is survivable; only two people can leave.”

"The clues you found are wrong, aren't they?" Fang Cheng felt even more sweat pouring down his forehead—Uncle Wang was really too heavy. Luckily, Uncle Wang was also holding onto the edge of the well to prevent himself from falling in completely, otherwise Fang Cheng wouldn't have been able to hold him back either.

"How could that be?" Chen Yi'an clearly didn't believe it. "This is a clue we obtained after defeating the Second Miss. How could it be wrong?"

"Second Miss... defeated?" Fang Cheng gritted his teeth, barely managing to utter these words. "But we... were just..."

"Don't even think about saying anything else to distract me," Chen Yi'an frowned and stretched out his hands again. "You need to know that all the dungeon worlds are inherently a matter of life and death."

"No! We really can all escape!" Fang Cheng was still trying to reason with Chen Yi'an. "We've already given them the method."

"I've said it before, I won't believe anything you say, because you're on the opposite side from us." Chen Yi'an reached out and tried to grab Fang Cheng by the waist, trying to shove him into the well.

However, it didn't work. The moment Chen Yi'an touched it, he felt something attack his hand. His left hand was fine, just being repeatedly slapped, but his right hand felt like it was being bitten, causing him considerable pain. The pain was so intense that Chen Yi'an had to pull his hand back to check, and then he discovered two rows of small teeth marks on his hand, with blood coming out.

Chen Yi'an was furious. He was just about to push Fang Cheng and Wang Jianhua into the well when he heard a voice behind him.

"What are you doing?" A boy appeared; it was Fu Qu.

Fang Cheng felt like she had found a savior, and she shouted, "Help! Help! Help!"

As Chen Yi'an said, "A-Qu, let me explain..." a pair of fair hands reached out and grabbed Wang Jianhua's clothes—it was Fu Qu who came over to help pull people away.

Fang Cheng was overjoyed—finally, she wasn't alone. She had to pull Wang Jianhua out by his clothes while also guarding against Chen Yi'an's sneak attack.

But soon, Fang Cheng's smile vanished. She saw Chen Yi'an lying on Fu Qu's body and saying something. Then Fu Qu let go of Wang Jianhua's hand and stood aside, watching Wang Jianhua and Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng was truly desperate, but thankfully, Fu Qu had just helped pull Wang Jianhua out of the well a little, and now Wang Jianhua could get out.

Wang Jianhua gasped for breath. He wiped the water off his face from when Chen Yi'an pushed him down into the well and he touched the bucket. Then he shielded Fang Cheng behind him and watched Chen Yi'an and Fu Qu beside him warily.

“Go get some water first,” Wang Jianhua said, turning his head to Fang Cheng. “I’ll talk to the two of them.”

The equation nodded, then went to fill the water container.

Chen Yi'an frowned as he looked at Wang Jianhua and Fang Cheng. He regretted it—he should have stopped Fu Qu earlier, otherwise he could have pushed Wang Jianhua and Fang Cheng off the stage long ago, thus eliminating two competitors for them.

At this moment, Wang Jianhua was carrying a large stone. After helping Fang Cheng lift the wooden bucket out of the well, he used his body to block Fang Cheng's body.

Wang Jianhua then hid the huge rock behind his back and smiled at Chen Yi'an and Fu Qu, saying, "Hey, Brother Chen, were you being controlled just now? Otherwise, why would you suddenly push me down the well?"

Chen Yi'an remained silent, his face grim as he stared at Wang Jianhua. In his mind, he was calculating how he could push both of them into the well should they fight, especially if Fang Cheng ambushed him.

"Oh dear, Brother Chen, Fang Cheng just told me that he has found a way for everyone to get out. Why do you still have to follow the path of fighting to the death in those previous worlds..."

"How can you be sure she didn't receive the wrong information?" Chen Yi'an asked with a stern face.

"If it's wrong information, why did you take all those clue papers from me..." Fang Cheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it reached the ears of everyone present.

Chen Yi'an's expression worsened. He took out his knife and said, "In that case, let's follow the unwritten rules of the dungeon world and see who is more skilled. Then whoever is right will be right."

Wang Jianhua saw Chen Yi'an take a knife out of his pocket. Fu Qu, who was next to him, seemed to want to stop him, but then seemed to think of something and turned his back and stopped looking.

"Two lunatics," Wang Jianhua cursed inwardly, glancing back at Fang Cheng.

After confirming that Fangcheng had filled all the small jars, Wang Jianhua held up the large rock in front of Fangcheng, protecting her as she retreated to prevent her from being hurt by Chen Yi'an, who was closing in at any moment.

As Fang Cheng retreated, he kept glancing at the road behind him and then at Chen Yi'an in front of him. Once he found the right moment, Fang Cheng grabbed Wang Jianhua with one hand and said, "Uncle Wang, let's run now!"

Wang Jianhua quickly hurled the large rock in his hand at Chen Yi'an, then turned and followed Fang Cheng.

Seeing a large rock flying towards him, Chen Yi'an instinctively dodged to the side. The rock landed on the ground and made a crater. When Chen Yi'an looked up, Wang Jianhua and Fang Cheng had already run far away.
