(2) Undercurrent (15)
At this point, Qingkong had no other choice, so he let Vanessa hold her hand, walked to the front of the tide, and said carefully to each step of her arrangement...
The plan was made clear and took action immediately.
-
Following the princess’ instructions, the maids ran out of the tent and shouted loudly: “Is your highness’s bath water ready? Why are you so slow today?”
After a while, the two guards walked in with a tub that was enough to hold five or six people, and placed it in the center of the room, outside the screen. After the guards left, they crawled out of the clear sky behind the tide and were pushed to the bathtub by the maids. They saw that it was filled with clear warm water, and there were many fragrant five-color petals floating on it.
"Do you have to wash?" Seeing four maids standing in the bathtub, staring at him straight, Qingkong felt the burrs on his body and couldn't sit still.
"The Dorys usually likes water, and it is my habit to take a shower and then go to bed every night. Although it is acting, I have to act well, otherwise, who knows what stage will be exposed? You should wash it quickly."
Under the urging of the princess, Qingkong took off her clothes and took a bath in front of everyone for the first time. Even in the virtual world and body, she still felt extremely embarrassed, so she soaked in the bathtub for less than five minutes before she crawled out in a hurry.
The coarse cloth clothes and civilian equipment she wore were wearing earlier had been received by the maids. Qingkong put on the luxurious and sexy blue robe of the princess as planned, and then sat in front of the mirror to start dressing up. The maids pushed her sea away, tied out a few strands of long hair, braided a few thin braids and coiled the floating long hair around the arc, so as to cover the parts of their ears tightly, and then painted dark blue eyeliners and silver lip gloss. She looked exactly like Queen Vanessa.
After the dressing was finished, Qingkong looked back and saw that the princess had already changed into a short white robe, a pointed long hat on her head, and a transparent gauze mask on her face. The maid next to her explained that this was the dress of a military Chinese medicine woman, and it was also the only professional outfit that could cover her hair color and face.
Then Vanessa walked to the wooden bucket and watched the four maids work together to twist the upper half of the bathtub full of water half a circle to one side, and then lifted it up - it turned out that the lower half of the bathtub was designed as a hollow space enough to hide in a person.
The princess lay in without hesitation, and the four maids then put the upper half of the barrel in place and twisted it tightly.
The guards who were receiving the support had already been waiting on both sides of the door of the tent. When they heard the maids' call, they went into the room and carried the bathtub out. Princess Vanessa successfully moved outside the tent, leaving Qingshang and four maids waiting for the next step.
-
[What should I do after you go out?]
[wait.]
[wait?]
[Yes, next, as long as you lie on the tumbling and pretend to sleep, what should come will come naturally - wait, that's it.]
-
Qingkong, who was lying flat on the ground, repeated Vanessa's explanation in her mind, holding a bitter musk pill in her throat, and holding a glass bottle that was said to be broken if it was used. These were all the items given to her by the maid after the princess left.
[When the assassin appears, immediately crush the glass bottle and sprinkle the liquid in the bottle on him. Even if your mission is achieved, understand?] Vanessa and the maid each reminded the core points of the Qingkong's stand-in mission tonight, which led to her constantly imagining the hypothesis drills of various situations in her heart. The most unknown and unpredictable thing in the hypothesis process is - the assassins who don't know when they will appear, and the way they don't know how to appear -
She imagined that perhaps the assassins would cut a certain direction in the tent, rag in, or fall from the sky; or try to cause fire or riots to divert the attention of the guards and maids, and then take advantage of the chaos to assassinate?
All these conjectures made Qingkong tense his nerves and constantly scan the entire space in the tent camp to prevent a shadow full of murderous intent from being reflected on the brown and green tent cloth...
In the quieter world, I don’t know how long it took, Qingkong’s tense brain line began to relax slightly. The musk pills contained in her throat were completely absorbed. Although I don’t know what the pill has, this thing caused her mouth and tongue to dry and her mind to swell, so she thought of getting up and looking for saliva to drink.
[Your voice is different from mine, so don't make a sound when pretending to be me.] This is another reminder from Vanessa earlier, so you can't say hello to the maid for help, so get up and get it yourself.
Qingkong leaned down and was about to stand up with his feet on the ground, when he suddenly heard a "buzzing" sound in his ear... She suddenly raised her head alertly and looked around, but couldn't tell the source of the sound. The four maids standing at the entrance of the tent seemed unmoved, and they didn't seem to feel any abnormal movement?
Qingkong had already sat up from the ground. She walked to the wooden table placed against the wall, picked up a cup of water filled with spring water prepared by the maid earlier, and it was clean. The water flowed down from her throat and made a "gurgling" sound, but at the same time, a "buzzing" sound came from her ears again.
Putting down the water cup, she frowned slightly and looked around, then when she met a maid looking back. She was about to ask, but the other party raised her index finger and put it beside her mouth, making a move to silence. Qingkong had to lie back to her original position, wondering if it was because of being too nervous that some kind of auditory hallucination was caused.
Lying flat on the mat, trying to take a deep breath in peace, once, twice... ten times, but... she was puzzled that the intermittent "buzzing" sound seemed to be getting closer and closer. Her eyes were swept around, and there was no abnormal movement. For a moment, she couldn't think of any kind of friction that would make such a grinding sound. The strangest thing was that the maids at the door did not respond from beginning to end. So, she could hear it? Why...
The clear sky stared straight at the cemetery of the camp, and the corks evenly supported the entire space, emitting a beautiful inner shape of the umbrella, focusing the vision in one place, and attributed the balance to one point, the origin of the room...
[Original...] Qingkong's brain nerve intuition preceded all other perceptions, putting the center of gravity of the entire hearing in the center of the room - the strange sound became more and more intense, and the speed of the sound was almost in a few seconds - just as Qingkong finally understood the source of the sound, a strong arm broke out, easily smashed the blocking action into pieces, and hugged Qingkong's neck to death, dragging her to the ground!
Qingkong was shocked by the sudden attack and his mind was blank, but resistance was a natural conditioned reflex. She raised her hands almost in a millisecond to try to spread the giant hand that strangled her neck. Within a force, the glass bottle that was originally held in her palm was then shattered on the arm of the giant hand. A stream of deep red liquid immediately flowed to the assassin. Of course, Qingkong's body was not stained less.
[When the assassin appears, he immediately crushes the glass bottle and sprinkles the liquid in the bottle on him. Even if your mission is achieved, understand?] - The crimson liquid contains a pungent fishy smell, which makes Qingkong unconsciously remember the princess' explanation to herself earlier. This makes the girl who is almost breathless and has been dragged into the endless darkness, and has a glimmer of hope in her heart...
The rumbling sound naturally alarmed the maids inside and the guards outside the door. The entire camp was boiling, but Qingkong didn't know what was going on outside. She saw a darkness in front of her. Her arms, legs, and body were constantly rubbing against stones and moving rapidly. The pain stirred and suffocating. It was a feeling of dying... Just when she believed that this wave of assassin attacks tonight would send herself to the skeleton passage seen in the black and white and gray world, a smooth touch suddenly rose from the soles of her feet, slid across her body, slid over her arms, and slid across her cheeks. With the sound of "hissing", her body finally stopped being dragged away. Then she heard a harsh scream behind her, for a long time...
-
After nearly ten seconds of being released in the darkness, Qingkong finally came to his senses and wanted to escape. Although she could not see anything around, she still understood that just crawling in the opposite direction would be the exit. So she moved one centimeter in the narrow passage towards her toes.
After moving for less than a few minutes, she immediately felt layers of stone chips falling on her face. It must have been caused by someone knocking on the ground. At the same time, she heard someone calling her name not far away, which was the voice of one of the maids.
"Xings! Qingshang!! Hearing the answer to me, are you far from the entrance of the cave?!"
"I... I'm here, I can hear you, it shouldn't be far away!"
Qingkong responded and immediately received a reply - "Our people have crawled in to save you, don't be afraid!"
Soon, she saw a fire light gradually light up. It must be the light brought in by the guard who crawled in. The girl finally calmed down her anxiety in her heart.
-
The guards were dragged and pulled out of the cave. As soon as Qingkong showed up, a maid put on a brand new thick fluff blanket for her and called a doctor to simply deal with the skin and trauma.
After looking around, Qingkong didn't see the princess. She was a little worried and asked, "Is Your Highness the Princess okay?"
"Your Highness the Princess should be waiting to interrogate the prisoner, and you are safe for the time being." The maid who served the side replied.
"Ah? Did the assassin catch it?!" Qingkong was a little surprised. Although she was lucky enough to be dragged away in her memory, the assassin should be able to escape from the deep and bottomless dark tunnel, right?
As if she understood her doubts, the maid replied with a smile: "It will definitely be caught, otherwise the assassin will definitely die. As long as you successfully sank the red starfish on him - it is a smell that the water-resential snake cannot resist. As long as it is contaminated with the object of this smell, they will inevitably bite it firmly, tie it to death, and immerse it in the mysterious smell and cannot listen to any command."
[So that's it...] Qingkong finally understood the effect of the bottle of mysterious liquid. But what made her feel strange was why herself, who was also stained with red starfish, did not become the target of the water-resentful snake? She said with doubts: "The assassin was attacked by the poisonous snake... Why am I fine who was also stained with red starfish, and I?"
"That's because of the effect of the musk slice you had earlier, which was the most annoying smell of water-resential snakes. And after the musk penetrated your body, the smell was strong enough to overwhelm the scent of red starfish bile."
The entire stand-in incident finally became clear. Qingkong unconsciously admired Princess Vanessa's delicate mind and comprehensive plan.
At this moment, more fires suddenly lit up outside the tent, and bursts of increasingly noisy sounds sounded.
His Highness, who was silently praising Qingkong, suddenly lifted the canvas of the tent, hurriedly walked in, and said to the maid: "Hurry! - Change me up and dress me up, and unexpected people will come to visit!"
