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

Chapter 195 What are you doing? Nothing.

Qi Min walked over and said something in a low voice. Then he asked Chen Xuan to help carry Liu Yan on her back, indicating that he was ready to take them away from here now.

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Yi and Chen Xuan, who was carrying Liu Yan, arrived at the exit passage that Qi Min had mentioned.

"After we leave here, will the other female insects above leave with us?"

In the not-so-wide alley, Chen Xuan, who was slightly hunched over, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Qi Min, who was walking ahead, turned around and glanced at him. His gaze swept over Ling Yi, who was also looking at him, and he nodded slightly, replying, "Yes."

"This is a survival-type dungeon. As long as someone passes the final level, the other players in the same dungeon will also survive and pass."

Qi Min walked forward, paused after speaking, and then continued.

"I know you are soldiers, and you may have a natural urge to help the public."

But this is not your world. Your duties and missions, at times, may become the catalyst for your death, so…”

Qi Min paused again, turned around and looked at Ling Yi seriously, and calmly finished speaking the last sentence.

"Don't have excessive sympathy, nor excessive curiosity."

Here, ensuring your own survival is the most important thing, understand?

Without waiting for Ling Yi's reply, Qi Min turned around and continued leading the way.

These words were less of a reply to Chen Xuan and more of a warning and reminder. As they were spoken, the way they looked at Ling Yi towards the end carried an even more unusual meaning.

Ling Yi blinked slightly, understanding Qi Min's implication. She turned back and glanced at Chen Xuan with a furrowed brow before continuing to walk with Qi Min.

Chen Xuan followed behind, shaking her head with a slight amusement. She was just casually probing; was there any other meaning behind it? Was it necessary to protect her like this?

Before long, the passageway gradually widened, and a dead end appeared before them.

Ling Yi turned his head and looked around. Apart from the road they had come from, there were no other passages around.

If Qi Min didn't lead the wrong way, then he must have had other ways to get through.

And indeed, just as he had guessed, Qi Min untied the package that had been hanging from his waist.

He took out the intact heart that had been kept inside and handed it to Ling Yi, gesturing for him to hold it in his hands.

Ling Yi reached out, puzzled, and let Qi Min place the still bloodied and slightly trembling heart into his palm.

"Hold it in your hands, close your eyes and walk towards that rock wall, and you can leave this castle."

Qi Min began to explain, seemingly noticing Ling Yi's surprise at this simple way of leaving. He paused for a moment before continuing.

"When you finally walk out, close your eyes. No matter what you hear or feel, you must not open your eyes or speak."

Even if you hear the system's notification sound indicating that you've cleared the level, don't believe it unless you feel your heart turn to stone.

Otherwise, you absolutely must not open your eyes, nor stop moving forward.

Ling Yi, I have something else to do and can't go with you. Take care of yourself.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Qi Min.

"Don't ask me anything right now. You'll have to wait until we get out of here to talk about any questions you have."

Remember, unless the heart in your hand turns to stone, do not open your eyes, do not stop.

It has the ability to create illusions, whether you see, hear, smell, or feel them.

Everything else is fake; only the feel and warmth of holding it in your hands are real.

Qi Min repeatedly reminded Ling Yi, fearing that he might fall into the trap. It didn't matter if he failed to pass the test; at most, the others would have to start over.

However, the harm and impact on those who pass the heart test will be very real.

If he didn't have to verify his conjecture, he would definitely have gone with Ling Yi.

Looking at Qi Min, who was repeatedly giving him instructions, Ling Yi understood that he was worried about her. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her previous doubts were suppressed because of Qi Min's words.

“I understand, Master, you don’t need to worry so much. Although I’m not familiar with this place, I’m still a high-ranking female soldier, and I’ve gotten full marks in all the training I’m supposed to receive.”

I will strictly abide by what the lord says, even though I don't know what the lord is going to do?

But I hope the male ruler can also protect himself. I don't want to see him like that again..."

Because I'll worry...

Ling Yi didn't say the last sentence, but Qi Min could see the heartache and worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I just want to verify my guess. Nothing will happen. You'll definitely see me after you clear the level and go back."

Qi Min smiled and reached out to touch his short hair. His smile was bright and cheerful, and he looked especially handsome.

Seeing Ling Yi momentarily distracted by his smile, Qi Min chuckled and turned to leave.

Chen Xuan, who had watched the whole thing with Liu Yan on her back, was left standing to the side, waiting for Ling Yi to come to his senses with a hint of helplessness.

As for?

The male insect just smiled.

That's it? It's enough to mesmerize him?

What a disappointment!

How come we never noticed before that a female insect like Ling Yi could be so infatuated with beauty?

Sigh, it's all because he was young and didn't know much about insects...

Chen Xuan sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. After waiting for two seconds, seeing that Ling Yi was still standing still, she raised her foot to kick him, hoping to make him pass the level quickly.

But just as Chen Xuan got into position, Ling Yi turned around and their eyes met. Ling Yi looked at her with some confusion, while Chen Xuan withdrew her leg, looking bored.

"what are you doing?"

Ling Yi looked at the way he naturally pulled his leg back and asked in confusion, "If I wasn't mistaken, Chen Xuan was trying to kick him, right?"

"Nothing much, just some exercise. Stop talking so much and hurry up and try what your lord said. Get out of here as soon as possible."

"We've been missing for so long, who knows what kind of chaos is happening outside."

Chen Xuan bounced Liu Yan on his back, his expression indifferent, indicating that he missed that idiot Lin Simiao a little. They had both disappeared this time, and he wondered how busy he was.

"Ah...ah sneeze!"

Lin Simiao, who was busy dealing with inquiries from all sides, suddenly sneezed loudly, his face showing signs of exhaustion from not having rested for a long time.

"Sir, Commander Liu is still outside..."

A female soldier, who also looked tired, came in to report. Looking at her superior who was glaring at her, the female soldier's expression also showed some difficulty.

Commander Liu has come here many times, and each time the superior officer tells him to say he's not here.

Whether it's real or not, Commander Liu isn't blind; he can't believe everything he hears.

Commander Liu had been waiting outside for a long time, clearly determined to see Lin Simiao. What could a lowly messenger like him do?

Ah, if only Commander Chen were here. He's the best at handling things like this.

"Forget it, I'll go see him anyway. Where is he?"
