Paintings of Terror

Chapter 265: Regain the Initiative

Qin Ci chose a very thick wooden board. He successfully crossed the iron plate and reached the exit on the other side.

On this side, Ke Xun wrapped his arm around Mu Yirans shoulder, brought his face close to his and kissed his cheek. I run faster than you, you admit that right? WrmpRh

Mu Yiran understood what Ke Xun meant. Although the Leidenfrost effect had real-world examples, an untrained person might still have psychological barriers stepping on a scorching iron plate barefoot. If they ran slow, it could be even more dangerous.

Mu Yiran pinched Ke Xuns neck and said, Okay, you can use the Leidenfrost effect, but theres one condition: if wrapping clothes around your feet or piggybacking arent allowed, you cant ask to switch the Leidenfrost effect to me.

Hey.. Ke Xun didnt expect Mu Yiran to play this card.

He also understood Mu Yirans intention. If these two methods werent allowed, they would need to come up with a new one, but new ideas werent easy to come by. What if they couldnt think of one? What if the one they thought of still wasnt allowed? In that case, Mu Yiran would be the one in the most danger. i1PVDa

Ke Xun didnt respond to Mu Yirans words and furrowed his brows in contemplation. Yiran, what if we use ice as a footpad? Does that work? Running over it quickly before it melts, wouldnt that work?

Mu Yiran shook his head slightly, The requirement asks for different phases of matter. Solid, liquid, and gas are the three phases of matter. Old Qin already used the solid, and ice is also a solid. It wont be allowed. Dont think about it. Lets first try the existing methods.

Saying this, he was about to take off his clothes, but Ke Xun stopped him, Your clothes are too heavy; use mine. Down jackets are lighter.

Mu Yiran still took off a few layers of his own clothes, Keep at least two for yourself; otherwise, youll get cold when you come out of the painting. gctXUL

Ill make sure to bring more clothes next time and store them in the storage locker in the museum. Ke Xun said. Otherwise, who could bear getting stripped naked every time they entered the painting?

The two of them worked together, wrapping all the clothes they were going to use around Mu Yirans feet. Then, Mu Yiran turned around and faced away from Ke Xun, saying, Get on.

If you feel your feet burning halfway through, dont just tolerate it, Ke Xun reminded, I can use that effect halfway, and Ill carry you the rest of the way.

Okay. Mu Yiran agreed. 7kj3Ds

The two wasted no time. Ke Xun crawled onto Mu Yirans back and Mu Yiran decisively stepped onto the scorching iron plate.
