"Alright, we'll wait for you," the first rabbit spirit smiled.
Mu Anxiao looked at the smiles on the faces of the first rabbit spirit and the others, and suddenly felt immense pressure.
However, in the following time, the rabbit spirits began a round of repetitive questioning.
After a quarter of an hour, Mu Anxiao sat in a corner, looking helplessly at the rabbit spirits gathered in front of her. "Can you all stop looking at me like that? I'm under a lot of pressure," she said with a smile.
"Have you figured it out yet?" the second rabbit spirit asked.
Mu Anxiao covered her face and said, "Big brother, big sister, brothers and sisters, can you please stop asking? Let me think, let me think."
"A quarter of an hour has already passed," said the maid rabbit.
Mu Anxiao had initially thought that communicating with these rabbits wouldn't be so difficult, but after this quarter of an hour of experience, she found herself longing for humans.
"I know," she forced a smile at the maid rabbit.
"Then keep thinking," said the fifth rabbit spirit. She looked at the rabbit spirits on either side and said, "Everyone, don't rush her. She's just a human who has become a cripple after experiencing who knows what. If we pressure her like this, she won't be able to figure it out. Let's go, don't surround her like this." With that, she stood up and led the way, walking off.
Another quarter of an hour later, Mu Anxiao looked helplessly at the rabbit spirits lying in a heap, fast asleep. She muttered, "They think too highly of me if they've all fallen asleep." As she spoke, she pursed her lips.
In the rabbit queen's room, Piao floated before the rabbit queen and said, "There is a traitor among you."
"A traitor?" The rabbit queen looked up at Piao, questioning.
"You haven't noticed?" Piao asked.
The rabbit queen blinked and said, "I was only thinking about how to deal with those mice. I really haven't noticed this."
"Look," Piao pointed to the bracelet on the rabbit queen's wrist.
The rabbit queen dared not disobey Piao, so she raised her hand and stared at the bracelet, exclaiming, "They haven't returned yet."
"I will have them executed on the spot, so don't feel bad," Piao said.
The rabbit queen smiled, "I don't feel bad. Whatever you do is right."
"Alright, my guest has arrived. Please help take care of her for me," Piao said, bending down to pat the rabbit queen's shoulder.
The rabbit queen frowned, "Where are you going?"
"Some people still aren't afraid of me," Piao said, straightening up and leaving the room.
The rabbit queen swallowed, remaining silent.
In the wood shed, Mu Anxiao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any solution. However, seeing the trust the rabbit spirits had in her, she decided to take a risk and go out. Perhaps she could find a way, but how to get out... that became a new problem for her.
"Did you think of anything?" the first rabbit spirit, awakened, asked in a hoarse voice.
Mu Anxiao was temporarily unable to attend to him. She looked up at her surroundings, her gaze finally settling on the window.
The first rabbit spirit followed Mu Anxiao's line of sight and stared at the window with her, asking, "Why are you looking at the window?"
"I need to go out for a bit," Mu Anxiao said, withdrawing her gaze to look at the rabbit spirits.
The rabbit spirits were startled and simultaneously focused their attention on Mu Anxiao's face.
The maid rabbit asked nervously, "Are you going to abandon us?"
"No, I want to go out and see. Because staying here, I can't think of anything and will just be wasting time," Mu Anxiao said, standing up.
They all stood up with Mu Anxiao.
"You'll be discovered if you go out," the maid rabbit said.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved. "Although I am enveloped by immortal energy, as long as I stay away from here, the great demons won't be able to find me, so I'm different from you."
"You're right about that, but," the second rabbit spirit looked to the sides and said, "the door is locked, how will you get out?"
"Who said I was going out through the door?" Mu Anxiao said calmly.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the first rabbit spirit immediately realized, "You're going to climb out the window."
"Yes," Mu Anxiao nodded and walked gracefully to the wall, then looked up at the closed window and asked, "This window pushes outwards, right?"
"Mm," the maid rabbit nodded.
"Has any of you ever opened this window?" Mu Anxiao asked, looking up at the window.
They looked at each other one after another, and then the third rabbit spirit suddenly raised his hand and said, "I opened it, it pushes outwards."
"Outwards?" Mu Anxiao looked at the third rabbit spirit.
The third rabbit spirit nodded. "Outwards, I just wiped it clean not long ago."
"Is it locked?" Mu Anxiao asked again.
The third rabbit spirit said excitedly, "No."
Upon hearing that it wasn't locked, a smile appeared on Mu Anxiao's face. "Then I'll go out from here."
"There are no stools here, how will you get out?" the maid rabbit asked Mu Anxiao with confusion.
Mu Anxiao smiled at the maid rabbit, then looked around at the rabbit spirits present and said, "Help me out, won't you?"
"Us?" they said in unison.
Hearing their synchronized voices, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but laugh. "Not bad, quite synchronized."
"How can we help you?" the first rabbit spirit stepped forward and asked.
"Lend me your shoulders, and I'll step on them!" Mu Anxiao said lightly.
Immediately, a bitter smile appeared on the first rabbit spirit's face. "This... it might be difficult."
"What, difficult? You think I'm fat?" Mu Anxiao asked unhappily.
The first rabbit spirit shook his head. "No, we..."
"I see, you're still worried I'll run away, aren't you?" Mu Anxiao saw through the first rabbit spirit at a glance.
The first rabbit spirit dared not lie and nodded slightly.
"I knew it," Mu Anxiao said, placing a hand on her hip and sighing. "Well, if that's the case, then I really have no other options. We'll all just wait to die."
"We don't want to die," the fourth rabbit spirit said.
Mu Anxiao said, "Since you don't want to die, then listen to me. Besides, how far can I run? I just want to go out and gather some information. Perhaps your rabbit queen's study has a way to break this."
"This..."
"What is this? Let me tell you all, I'm willing to help you, and I will definitely help you to the end. If you don't believe me, then I can only say, everyone, fend for yourselves and wait to die." Mu Anxiao said, and sat down directly on the ground.
They all fell silent.
A few minutes later, Mu Anxiao looked down and started playing with the dry grass.
The second rabbit spirit walked to the side of the first rabbit spirit and whispered, "I think we should trust her."
"I think so too," the third rabbit spirit whispered.
"She doesn't seem to be lying," the maid rabbit said excitedly.
Immediately, they all turned their gaze to the first rabbit spirit's face.
The first rabbit spirit looked at them sheepishly and asked as if he didn't know, "Why are you all looking at me?"
