Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones being displaced, a sharp pain rushed into his mind, making Mu En's forehead break out in cold sweat.

"Hiss—as expected, even if it has been tried in the Black Book space, the pain in reality is still unbearable."

"It's a dislocated thumb after all."

But fortunately the pain was not in vain.

After the thumb was dislocated, the palm of the hand was able to pass through the shackles with ease.

TV dramas don't lie to me!

After successfully freeing her right hand from the shackles, Mu En pressed her palm on the ground again, aligned it with the position, and then——suddenly pressed.

Boom.

The sound of bone displacement sounded again.

The severe pain came again.

"Hiss—damn it, it really hurts more to set the bone than to dislocate it."

Mu En held her head high, gritted her teeth and resisted.

But he didn't even have time to rest and calm down the pain.

After the thumb returned to its place, there were still bruises around the root of the bone, and the palm of his hand was trembling uncontrollably, but he didn't have the time to care about it.

Ann didn't know when he would come back, he had to hurry up.

Mu En raised her hand and slowly took out something in her mouth with trembling fingers.

That was what he had just hidden under his tongue, and was almost discovered by Ann...

Fishbone.

It is also his key to freedom.

Unlock LV8.

Mu En looked at the records in the black book and felt the results of her hard work, so she couldn't help showing a lucky smile.

Father, grandfather, and the ancestors of the Campbell family, I have wronged you.

Those strange books you stuff in your library are not useless!

At least the book "Fish Bones Can Unlock Locks - One Hundred Ways to Burglary" is very useful now!

"Okay, let's start now."

Mu En took a few deep breaths to calm down, and at the same time to stop her hands from shaking.

He twisted the fishbone with his right hand, and cautiously stretched out to the keyhole of the shackles on his left hand, his heart couldn't help but raised into his throat.

Success or failure, in one fell swoop!

……

The result was even smoother than Mu En imagined.

With his lockpicking skill as high as LV8, not only the shackles that bound him, but even the big lock on the iron fence, which looked very reassuring, was easily pried open by fishbone.

An didn't seem to have imagined this possibility at all. Although she was so cautious that she didn't even wear clothes for Mu En, she never thought that Mu En could learn the heaven-defying skill of picking fishbone locks.

My father, my grandfather, the ancestors of the Campbell family, thank you again!

It's great that you're a bunch of dumbasses who don't like reading and only have muscles in your head.

"Got to get away as soon as possible."

After the door was unlocked, Mu En walked out of the iron fence carefully.

The light outside the fence was dimmer than inside the cage, only illuminated by a glowing stone inlaid a few meters above the head.

Fortunately, it doesn't affect the line of sight very much.

"Here... seems to be an underground utility room?"

Looking at the debris piled up around, Mu En vaguely seemed to remember where this place was.

In the farthest corner of the Duke's Manor, there is an underground storage room used by the maids to store various sundries.

Later, due to the rectification of the manor, it was abandoned.

I remember that when I was a child, Mu En came here to explore, but because it was too dark, I fell hard.

Mu En touched her forehead subconsciously, and could vaguely feel a small mark there.

"Remember at that time, it was Ann who had just become a personal maid who comforted the crying little Mu En and rescued him from this place."

"It was also from that time that Mu En began to rely more and more on Ann."

"Ann at that time was so gentle, just like a big sister."

……

So why do you become such a dangerous and sick girl now!

[WEB] 49. Life is full of fright... fright

Although I don't know what kind of changes have taken place in An's mentality over the years, so that he turned Zhengtai into a prison play, but Mu En knew that he had to escape.

Because he really didn't know what tricks An could do for him.

After being locked up like this for a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore.

The heart is tired, and the kidneys are even more tired.

He wants to live, and even more wants to live freely.

If you can live, it is best to live happily.

The yellow-haired villain didn't want to succumb to this.

"Come on, Tata Kai!"

……

The biggest advantage of recognizing the places you have been to is that you can feel at ease.

What Mu En was most afraid of was that Ann would lock him up in a complicated and unfamiliar place, so that he might not even be able to find a way to escape.

Fortunately, Ann is his personal maid, so her actions have certain limitations.

So transforming an abandoned basement around the Duke's Mansion into a cage is probably the limit for her.

Otherwise, Mu En has no doubt that Ann will directly build a castle in the center of the lake to imprison him forever.

Turning him into a "princess" who never sees the sun in the castle may be what Ann wants to do most.

"Unfortunately, I want to be a prince more."

Mu En casually took out a rusty hatchet from the sundries in the corner, held the hatchet tightly, and proceeded cautiously according to the location of the exit in memory.

At the same time, beware of possible traps and the like.

Fortunately, there are no traps.

This made Mu En breathe a sigh of relief, he now has no ability to distinguish traps, especially magic traps.

If it was more ruthless and installed various trigger traps or alarm systems in the exit passage, then Mu En would definitely send it.

But if you think about it carefully, this place is still within the scope of the Duke's Mansion after all.

If someone from the mansion enters by mistake and triggers the trap, I'm afraid it may cause a lot of trouble.

For Ann, who imprisoned the Duke's son, he definitely didn't want to cause such trouble.

"Speaking of which, do the other maids in the mansion know about this?"

"Are they being kept in the dark by Anne, or are they... accomplices?"

……

Mu En didn't walk very fast, but the passage was obviously coming to an end.

After passing a corner, the sudden light almost blinded Mu En's eyes.

But he didn't want to close his eyes at all, even if he was stimulated to tears, he still had to look directly at the dazzling light source not far away.

Like a dying man seeing hope.

Export!

That's the exit!

He's about to escape successfully!

At this moment, Mu En thought of the sky, the sea, and her galloping horse on the endless grassland!

Ah, freedom, this is the taste of freedom.

Freedom, right there...

pat.

The sound of crisp footsteps suddenly sounded.

Along with the place where the light was shining, a shadow suddenly shook, covering most of the light.

Mu En, who was still passionately sighing about freedom just now, suddenly seemed to have teleported to the iceberg and snow field, and was also poured a basin of cold water by the way.

He quickly hid around the corner.

The sound of footsteps that can suddenly appear at this time, of course, can only belong to one person.

Ann.

But why did she come back so soon?

Mu En roughly estimated the time, from the moment she unlocked the lock and came to this place, it took at most half an hour.

Half an hour!

For a girl who thinks she is in love, half an hour may not even be enough to paint her eyebrows.

How did Ann manage to take a bath and change clothes in one go and end so quickly?

Is this the profession of a maid?In half an hour, you can make yourself smelly and white, so that the impatient master will be lucky to come?

Such cuteness, no need!

"hateful."

Now that things have happened, Mu En has to admit that she seems a little anxious.

Perhaps it would be a better choice to be patient for a while and wait until night.

But there was no turning back when he opened the bow. Now even if he took the initiative to go back to the cage and lock himself up to pretend that nothing happened, An would probably find out the clues.

Only to find another way.

Mu En glanced around and found an abandoned cabinet in a dark corner.

"perhaps……"

Mu En's eyes lit up.

……

despair.

despair.

despair.

In the silence, the crisp footsteps were getting closer and closer, each step seemed to step on Mu En's heart.

Mu En tried her best to control her state of mind, not to let her heart beat so fast, and at the same time tightly covered her mouth and nose, holding her breath temporarily.

He's hiding in a closet now.

The abandoned cabinet was about the height of a person, just enough to hide him in.
