Who told you I am an NPC Chapter 11 : Chapter 11

Chapter : 11

The rmaid was successfully won by Yan Yunqing.

Unsure what the manager and attendant had imagined about his identity, Yan Yunqing waited nervously for a mont, but no one else ca to test him. Instead, they even sent over a lot of exquisite food and trinkets to play with.

Confirming that the people from the auction house had been temporarily fooled and wouldn't suddenly rush in and attack him, Yan Yunqing let out a sigh of relief.

His ears twitched.

Yan Yunqing faintly sensed so movent from the adjacent private box, but with the soundproofing array, even his enhanced hearing couldn't make it out clearly.

But the fact that the soundproofing array couldn't completely block the noise ant that the prince next door was really angry that he had spoiled his fun.

After a short while, the door to the private room was knocked on again.

Yan Yunqing beca vigilant once more, and Lilian quickly hid.

The one who pushed open the door was still the sa attendant from before, but this ti he had a small cart in front of him.

On the cart was a small water tank that wasn't very large.

The little rmaid Yan Yunqing had won was curled up inside, almost filling the entire space of the tank.

Even an ungrown teenager would feel suffocated being stuffed into a water tank about the size of a suitcase, let alone a rmaid whose body, including her tail, was more like an adult's.

However, at this mont, her eyes were still tightly shut, showing no signs of waking up.

The attendant placed the water tank containing the rmaid down and simultaneously put a bottle of potion on the table.

"Esteed guest, this is the item you have won.

Because this rchandise was not very cooperative before, we used a little trick.

This bottle of potion can wake her up.

The guest can use it at any ti."

Looking at the rmaid in the water tank, Yan Yunqing couldn't help but grind his back teeth, disgusted by the attendant's matter-of-fact tone.

It hadn't been long since he'd transmigrated to this other world, but he had already fully experienced that this was a man-eating world.

Without enough ability to protect oneself, one would only beco a consumable in this world.

Fortunately…… at least he still had a ga system that could be considered a golden finger.

Watching the attendant leave, Yan Yunqing waited for a minute before going to check on the little rmaid's condition.

The water tank was also an alchemical item.

Lilian ca out and observed it for a mont, then directed Yan Yunqing to dismantle the tank.

Concerned that there might still be the so-called silencing potion in the water tank, Yan Yunqing moved the little rmaid from the tank to the sofa.

"Pour this potion down her throat, she'll wake up soon."

Lilian dragged the potion bottle that had been placed on the table and flew in front of Yan Yunqing.

"I've checked it. This is the antidote to the sleeping potion."

Yan Yunqing nodded, took the potion, and fed it to the little rmaid's mouth.

Perhaps because she was unconscious, nearly half of the potion was spilled before it was finished.

"Will it not be fully effective if she didn't drink it all?"

Yan Yunqing asked.

Lilian: "Probably not? I've never actually encountered this situation."

The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads to stare at the little rmaid.

However, the little rmaid had not yet woken up.

Her silvery-white tail was the first to change, gradually shedding its scales, and then…… transforming into a pair of legs.

Yan Yunqing: ?!

Yan Yunqing couldn't help but take a step back.

He pulled the thin blanket folded on the sofa to cover the rmaid's gradually forming legs.

He looked down at the potion in his hand and couldn't help but say, "Damn it, could this be the Sea Witch's potion?"

Hans Christian Andersen truly didn't lie to .

After the little rmaid drank the Sea Witch's potion, she could grow legs and go ashore!

"Strange, although it's not a difficult thing for a rmaid to turn into a human, to suddenly grow human legs while unconscious is sothing else."

Lilian flew two circles around the little rmaid before it dawned on her, "I see…… this rmaid is a half-breed."

"Half-breed?"

Yan Yunqing was confused again.

It involved a worldview setting he didn't understand.

"A child born of a rmaid and a human is a half-breed!

You should know this better than an elf like who grew from the Mother Tree, right?"

Lilian explained, "This little rmaid is the sa.

Those half-breed rmaids are in a normal human state on land, and they grow a tail when they enter the water."

"So she lost her tail because she left the water?"

Yan Yunqing seed to understand.

"That's right!"

"Then aren't half-breed rmaids more…… uh," Yan Yunqing didn't know how to describe it, "free?

They can live in the water if they want to, and on land if they want to?"

"It's not that easy." Lilian shook her head.

"The barriers between different races are very deep. In fact, as a Beastman, you should understand this better.

Half-breeds are ostracized in any race."

Yan Yunqing seed to understand but not fully.

"Now that she has legs, it's actually more convenient for us to escape together."

Lilian poked Yan Yunqing's face.

"You really are a naive little cat."

"Hey, why do you keep calling a little cat?

I told you not to……"

"Boom—" A loud noise interrupted Yan Yunqing's words.

He vigilantly moved towards the door and looked out through the one-way glass to see that the central stage had collapsed.

The host, who had been speaking eloquently just a mont ago, was crushed under a crossbeam.

The minor nobles in lavish clothes on the ground floor, after a mont, scread in terror and scattered.

Like ants scattering, the scene was particularly comical.

"What's going on? Did your prank magic take effect?"

Lilian was very shocked, "Impossible! My prank magic doesn't have that much power, and according to my calculations, it should still be a while before it takes effect!"

Yan Yunqing pushed open a crack in the door, and the screams from outside entered the room. Looking at the panicked crowd, "Then what's going on?"

"Boom boom—"

"Boom—"

Several more explosions followed in succession, shaking Yan Yunqing so much that he almost lost his footing. He quickly grabbed the door fra to steady himself.

Several masked figures in tight-fitting clothes appeared in his field of vision, brandishing weapons at the nobles.

"It seems soone has the sa goal as us."

Yan Yunqing steadied himself, his thoughts flying as he quickly figured out the current situation.

"It's the bounty hunters who stole from the other warehouses.

They also want to muddy the waters and then escape."

As he said this, a trace of doubt couldn't help but arise in Yan Yunqing's heart: why did this group of people look more like they were here to kill people rather than to create an opportunity to escape?

Thinking of the prince next door, Yan Yunqing felt speechless again: could it be an assassination attempt on the prince?

Then this third floor was about to beco dangerous.

Really, he was left with no ti to prepare.

He had originally planned to wait for the little rmaid to wake up and get ready before escaping, but now he was forced to flee prematurely.

"Lilian, do you have a way to wake her up quickly?"

Yan Yunqing quickly took out the things he needed.

"We have to start escaping."

Listening to the chaotic footsteps outside and the occasional shouts from the guard team, Yan Yunqing took a deep breath and suppressed the little bit of panic in his heart.

Although he was ntally prepared, he still felt nervous in this situation.

After all…… he was a minor who had just finished his college entrance exams.

To be transferred directly from the leisurely sumr vacation after the college entrance exams to an adventure in a dangerous other world was a bit too much, wasn't it?

"I'll try!"

Lilian tried using several healing spells on the little rmaid, which was the magic their elves were best at. However, the little rmaid showed no reaction at all.

"We can't wait any longer."

Seeing the sowhat out-of-control scene outside, Yan Yunqing directly lifted the little rmaid onto his back.

Before he could take two steps, he was crushed into a stagger.

Yan Yunqing: ……

He forgot he was a weak and fragile character.

"I'll cast a levitation spell on her."

Lilian quickly waved her small magic wand.

"It can reduce her weight a bit, but do you really want to carry her and escape?"

Yan Yunqing felt the person on his back beco much lighter.

The current weight was about the sa as his backpack full of study materials just before his college entrance exams.

He suddenly felt like he was back to the ti before the exams, shuttling between several cram schools.

Experiencing the heavy weight on his shoulders after a long ti, Yan Yunqing carried the little rmaid on his back and tied her to himself with the tattered cloth he had changed out of earlier.

He took another cloak and covered himself and the little rmaid on his back.

Lilian remained hidden in his hood, clinging to Yan Yunqing's hair to secure herself.

What a one-man-drags-two situation.

He was getting more and more like the protagonist of an adventure ga.

Yan Yunqing grumbled a couple of sentences in his heart and then rummaged through his backpack for a costu, [Face·Masquerade Ball], and equipped it.

A uniquely shaped mask, with no additional stats, just a good-looking decorative costu.

For Yan Yunqing, who didn't want anyone to see his face right now, it was barely usable.

He gently pushed open the door to the compartnt.

The third floor was already in complete chaos.

Several people who looked like guards were fighting with a group of masked n.

The door to the Fifth Prince's private box was tightly shut.

He wondered if that guy was trembling inside.

Yan Yunqing didn't pay much attention.

He glanced at the elevator he had co up in earlier.

There were also masked n fighting there, and a few won in gorgeous dresses were trembling and hiding in a corner.

It was obviously impossible to go down by the elevator anymore.

"Over there!" Lilian directed Yan Yunqing, "I saw it when we ca up earlier, there's a staircase over there!"

"I'll add a concealnt spell on you, but this spell can only reduce your presence, it can't make you completely invisible.

Try to run while hiding."

Lilian said quickly, "Both the levitation and concealnt spells require a long-term supply of magic power.

I won't be able to help you with anything else after this.

You're on your own."

"On our own, you say, as if we can part ways now," Yan Yunqing retorted. "Got it."

After speaking, he dodged the crowd and ran towards the stairs as Lilian directed.

The staircase was set up in a relatively hidden location and was rarely used.

The nobles who could co to the third floor had never taken this passage.

Unexpectedly, no one ran in this direction. Most of them were hiding in their private boxes, and a small number had also rushed to the elevator they ca up in.

Yan Yunqing ran past several corridors and found the hidden door to the stairs.

He gritted his teeth and pushed it several tis before it opened.

The stairwell was very dim.

When the door opened, a cloud of dust rose, choking Yan Yunqing into a violent cough.

How long had it been since this staircase was used?

How could there be so much dust?

Did no one clean it?

Yan Yunqing carried the little rmaid on his back and ran down quickly with Lilian.

He leaped down several steps at a ti.

The feeling of adrenaline rushing was fascinating.

Yan Yunqing heard another violent explosion.

This ti the floor didn't shake, but the sound was huge, scaring Yan Yunqing so much that he almost twisted his ankle and rolled down the stairs.

"This is my prank magic," Lilian said. "See, it's just a little loud."

As Lilian said this, Yan Yunqing had already reached the first floor.

He pushed open the stairwell door with another forceful push and heard soone shouting outside.

"Wait, why did the prince's compartnt collapse?"

"The prince is under attack—alert—"

Yan Yunqing was speechless for a few seconds, "This is what you call not very powerful, just loud?"

It even blew up the compartnt carved with a magic array.

One could imagine what would happen to the people inside……

He didn't know if the dragon scale was being carried by the prince.

Forget it, hope he's okay.

After praying for a second in his heart, Yan Yunqing ran around the group of guards without hesitation.

The corridors here were interconnected in all directions.

He didn't know where to go out, so he could only run while avoiding people for now.

While running, Yan Yunqing also threw things on the ground.

They were all the various trinkets sent to the private box later, which Lilian had carved with prank magic in advance.

Taken from the auction house, used for the auction house, it could more or less create so chaos.

The sounds of fighting and killing never stopped.

Countless screams tore through the night sky above the auction house.

The mask on Yan Yunqing's face didn't attract anyone's attention at all.

Everyone was now desperately trying to escape this terrifying hell.

Rushing to a corner, Yan Yunqing collided head-on with a person.

With a sudden stop, the two collided violently.

Yan Yunqing was knocked back several steps, staggering.

The hood on his head slid off due to inertia, revealing the cat ears hidden underneath.

The mont his eyes t the other person's, Yan Yunqing's heart skipped a beat.

Damn it!

The person who collided with Yan Yunqing was dressed in dusty, tight-fitting clothes, his face was covered with a black cloth, and he held two daggers in his hands.

"Beastman?"

The person's gaze fell on Yan Yunqing's ears.

The action of raising his daggers paused for a mont.

He then saw Lilian, who was exposed because the hood had slipped off, and the side profile of the rmaid lying on Yan Yunqing's neck.

A flash of understanding passed through the masked man's eyes.

Under Yan Yunqing's vigilant expression, he took the initiative to lower his hands and cleared the way in the corridor.

"You're the two cat-n and the elf who escaped from the warehouse, right?

Don't be nervous, we're not from Augreer."

He pointed in a direction, "Run out along this passage.

There's an opening that my companions blew open over there.

You can escape from there."

After speaking, he added another sentence, "Hurry up, a fight is about to break out here.

You'd better escape the city directly under the cover of night."

Yan Yunqing gave him a deep look.

Both sides were fearless because they were wearing facial coverings, unaware that the [LV.34 mber of 'Blood Mist'] above the masked man's head had completely exposed his identity.

The face under Yan Yunqing's mask looked strange for a mont.

Ah…… is this? The display above a ga NPC's head?
