Chapter 74 Escape and Hide

Just by looking at each other, both of them understood that the other had read all the text on the pop-up window and had the same idea.

——No matter what, let’s work together to escape from the sight of the princess and prince first.

The next second, Zhao Xun picked up the fat woman standing next to him.

The slightly fat woman was startled, but quickly realized that she was hanging on Zhao Xun's shoulders.

When the princess and prince saw this, they immediately wanted to rush over.

The cloaked man quickly raised his hand, creating an invisible defensive barrier that firmly blocked the two people's path.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xun raised his hand, and the metal mechanism not far away made a "click" sound, and then the door of the secret room opened.

Zhao Xun picked up the cloaked man and ran out quickly.

The cloaked man hung on Zhao Xun's other shoulder, facing the princess and prince in the secret room.

One of his hands remained raised, controlling the defensive barrier to continue intercepting the princess and prince.

It not only ensures the speed of escape, but also does not delay the deployment of defensive barriers.

Unable to see anything clearly in the dark corridor, Zhao Xun could only rely on his memory to run towards the master bedroom.

"After the two of them disappear from my sight, the defensive barrier can still last for about sixty seconds." The cloaked man reminded Zhao Xun in a low voice.

"Then if you build a new defensive barrier at this time, will the defensive barrier blocking those two people disappear immediately?" Zhao Xun asked.

"No." The cloaked man said while raising his other hand and creating a surrounding defensive barrier around the three of them. "It's no problem for me to build two defensive barriers at the same time."

With the protection of the defensive barrier, Zhao Xun doesn't have to worry about crows and bugs that may appear at any time, and can run to his destination with all his strength.

This is the ballroom on the fifth floor, and the master bedroom is also on the fifth floor, not too far apart.

At least you don't have to go up and down stairs, which saves a lot of time.

After turning a corner and running out of sight of the princess and prince, they walked onto a long corridor.

The corridor is a connecting structure between buildings. It has a roof but no enclosure structure.

Both sides of it are empty. If you crane your neck a little, you can see the flower beds and shadowy vegetation downstairs.

At one end of the corridor are various functional rooms, including ball halls, cocktail halls, concert halls, chess and card rooms, etc., while at the other end of the corridor are rest rooms such as the master bedroom, second bedroom, and guest bedroom.

After running up the corridor, Zhao Xun said to the two people on his shoulders: "Do you have anything that can divert their attention? If so, throw it out."

The castle was very quiet at night. Even if they had a chance to escape, they couldn't run without making any noise, so it would be easy for the prince and princess to determine where they were escaping.

Even if he could hide in the secret room before the prince and princess caught up with him, those two men would be able to chase him very close to the secret room, and the risk of discovery would increase.

"Don't worry about the sound." The cloaked man said with some effort, "My special ability can block the sound, but the time is very limited, up to three minutes, you have to hurry up."

When he uses the ability to block sounds, it consumes a lot of mental energy, so it becomes less easy to speak.

Hearing the cloaked man's words, Zhao Xun was completely relieved.

He ran towards the master bedroom without any scruples. Soon, Zhao Xun led two people into the secret room in the master bedroom's dressing room.

It wasn't until the door to the secret room was closed that the fat woman asked in a low voice: "Aren't we going to escape from the castle? Just hide in the secret room like this?"

The cloaked man removed the defensive barrier, calmed down, and then said to the fat woman: "It is already late at night, and there are unknown bugs and unfriendly crows outside. If you try to run out at this time, you can escape from the castle safely. The probability is too low, and there are too many dangers to face. Therefore, it is a wise choice to find a secret room to hide and wait until dawn before leaving."

If his defensive barrier could be used all the time, there would be no problem escaping the castle now.

But his special ability also has limitations. He cannot use this ability for a long time without interruption.

It would take at least an hour to escape from the castle and return to the original location before entering the thorn bush.

This time was beyond his endurance.

So the most appropriate choice is to find a secret room to hide in first.

The fat woman nodded to express her understanding, and then asked a little uneasily: "But is it really okay to hide here? This is the home of the princess in the castle. She should know exactly where there are secret rooms in the castle, right?"

"She may not know about this secret room." Zhao Xun replied in a low voice, "The king is the real owner of this castle, not the princess. Moreover, this secret room was obviously prepared by the king for his own pleasure, and there is no reason for the princess to know .”

The reason why he chose this secret room was because compared to other secret rooms, the probability of the princess knowing about this secret room was the lowest.

What father would let his daughter know about the tricks he plays with?
In addition, the external mechanism of this secret room is inside the closet of the cloakroom, covered by many clothes, and in a very inconspicuous place in the corner.

It's not that easy to find the mechanism.

"It...makes sense." The fat woman scratched her face in embarrassment and said no more.

After a moment of silence, she asked again: "Then if we can spend tonight safely, it proves that the princess does not know about this secret room. Can't we just hide here until the game time is over and complete the hiding mission?"

This is much safer than running out.

After all, as long as you run out, the probability of being discovered by the princess and prince is 100%.

Then there will definitely be a battle royale drama.

With her physical strength, she found it difficult to run out of the castle before the prince and princess caught her.

"No." Zhao Xun and the cloaked man objected in unison.

The two men looked at each other, and finally the cloaked man answered: "We can only hide here for a while. If they can't find us, they will probably search room by room like we did before. And now it's so far away from the game There are still about 26 hours before the end, which is enough time, and they will most likely find this place."

Hiding for one night is fine, but hiding for 26 hours is not that safe.

Escape from the castle after dawn to leave the source of danger as soon as possible.

"Okay, I've pretty much answered all your questions." Zhao Xun looked at the fat woman, "Now we should discuss the next action plan."

He rarely does good things without a reason, and the same goes for saving these two people.
