In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 183: The Deadly Mechanism

Shang Qinghua saw through his intent and said to Xi Yu, "Don’t forget, Master will be arriving soon."

Understanding the threat in Shang Qinghua’s words, Xi Yu said helplessly, "You heard him. I really can’t help you. Why don’t you tell her yourself after you get out?"

Yue Mingxuan shot Shang Qinghua an annoyed glare.

It was just passing a message.

Shang Qinghua didn’t even need to go himself, one wave of his hand and a shadow guard would come.

Why did he have to make things so difficult?

Sensing Yue Mingxuan’s dissatisfaction, Shang Qinghua said, "Do you even know where you are right now?"

Yue Mingxuan replied, "Isn’t it just a slightly larger brothel?"

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan still hadn’t grasped the situation, Xi Yu couldn’t help but interject. "This isn’t just a slightly larger brothel at all. This place is an industry of the Flying Opera Group called Piaoxiang Courtyard. An entire valley is a brothel. Entry and exit both require credentials, and the valley entrance is filled with layers of mechanisms. No matter how high your martial arts are, once you’re here, there’s nowhere to use them." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yue Mingxuan opened his mouth in some shock.

It seemed he had offended someone truly formidable.

"Then it seems I offended the owner of this Piaoxiang Courtyard."

Xi Yu flatly denied his statement.

"Everything in Piaoxiang Courtyard belongs to the Flying Opera Group. There is no individual owner at all. If one insists on naming an owner, then it would only be the leader of Flying Opera Group."

Yue Mingxuan drooped his head listlessly. "All right then... it seems I offended the leader of Flying Opera Group."

Shang Qinghua raised an eyebrow.

Just moments ago, Yue Mingxuan had still been worrying about someone drugging Bai Huayue, and now in the blink of an eye it had turned into him offending someone instead.

"The leader of Flying Opera Group is Bai Huayue. When did you offend her?"

Shang Qinghua’s words left Yue Mingxuan standing there in a daze.

Could it really have been his sister who threw him into this place?

No, no, no, he had clearly heard those two people plotting against his sister.

But, if what Shang Qinghua said was true... thinking of this, his complexion turned rather unpleasant.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan looking as though his soul had left his body, Xi Yu said, "Whatever it is, let’s talk about it after we get out. There might be some misunderstanding in all this."

Yue Mingxuan nodded.

Bai Huayue and Tang Lubao were among the very few people he trusted.

He did not believe, absolutely did not believe, that this was something she had done.

At this moment, the watch bell had just sounded on both sides.

Xi Yu opened the door, glanced left and right, and said, "No one’s here. Let’s go now."

Taking advantage of the deep cover of night, the three of them quickly rushed toward the entrance of Piaoxiang Courtyard.

Looking back, the lights within the valley resembled scattered stars in the sky, strewn across the Piaoxiang Courtyard in all directions.

The Piaoxiang Courtyard entrance was unusually quiet, there were not even any patrolling guards.

Xi Yu frowned. "Something’s not right. There should at least be guards here."

After surveying the surroundings, Shang Qinghua’s expression changed abruptly. He said urgently to Xi Yu, "Retreat, quickly."

As he spoke, he also pulled Yue Mingxuan back several steps.

Just as the three of them had steadied themselves, the spot where they had been standing suddenly collapsed into a deep pit.

Yue Mingxuan patted his chest in lingering fear.

If he had fallen into that pit, someone like him with no martial arts would have been crippled even if he did not die.

Xi Yu’s face changed when he saw the pit. "We’ve triggered that ultimate killing device. Whether we live or die now depends on heaven."

He knew it wouldn’t be so easy to get out from here.

What a pity, his whole life of carefree romance, and now he was going to lose his life at the entrance of a brothel.

Hearing Xi Yu say this, Shang Qinghua instead remained remarkably calm.

He simply tightened his grip on Yue Mingxuan’s hand.

Since it was a mechanism, there would certainly be a way to get out. Panicking now would only throw them into greater chaos.

Shang Qinghua’s calmness infected Yue Mingxuan as well. Facing the so-called ultimate killing device Xi Yu spoke of, the slight fear that had just surfaced vanished without a trace.

The killer’s instincts allowed Xi Yu to quickly regain his composure after a brief moment of panic.

The three stood side by side while staring at the silent entrance. Although the exit was right before their eyes, leaving this place was fraught with countless dangers.

After pondering for a moment, Shang Qinghua asked, "Xi Yu, Master once taught us that mechanisms are nothing more than poisons, fire, arrows, traps, and sealed chambers. No matter how they change, they never stray far from these categories. Why is it that you alone are so wary of the mechanisms of Piaoxiang Courtyard?"

Xi Yu thought for a while before replying, "I once saw the scene of this mechanism being triggered from afar. If it were an ordinary mechanism, I wouldn’t be afraid. But this one is intricately linked with the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. Anyone who does not understand the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams simply cannot get out. And this isn’t even the most terrifying part. The most frightening thing is that inside the mechanism there is a strange iron rod. The projectiles it launches are so fast that no one can dodge them. Moreover, these projectiles are similar to thunder pellets, not only are they poisonous, but once they enter the body, they explode into a burst of blood. I once watched with my own eyes as the sect master of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Sect, along with his senior disciple, all died under this very weapon."
