Yin Xiu, however, explored various possibilities based on this.
"If I fail to become the sacrifice, will the woman break the seal in anger and kill everyone in the town, or will the mayor kill me personally before that?"
"Will they kill you all during this process?"
He spoke casually, but it sent shivers down the spines of the others.
Either outcome would be disastrous, something players wouldn't dare imagine. If Yin Xiu broke the rules first, it could affect other players' dungeon progress or even prevent them from completing it altogether. Furthermore, if a major problem were to arise in the town and spiral out of control, players could very well face danger as well. The result could only get worse.
Seeing Yin Xiu's nonchalant demeanor, the others felt uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.
It was Yin Xiu, not someone else, who began to agonize over becoming a sacrifice. Others might not have been able to resist and would obediently become sacrifices to get through the first day, but Yin Xiu might not have been.
"I think dungeons definitely have their own rules, and they shouldn't be so easily affected..." a player muttered, trying to dissuade Yin Xiu from causing a scene, but Yin Xiu just smiled.
"I'm going to take a nap first."
With that, he turned and went upstairs.
Want to take a nap?
That night, he would become a sacrifice, to be torn to pieces. How could he dare to calmly go to sleep when he was about to die in a few hours?
The players panicked even more; this guy was definitely going to do something big!
"If my brother is sleeping, I'm going to play for a while." The little girl hugged her little rabbit doll and happily hopped upstairs, and the other two naturally followed suit.
Li Mo naturally went with Yin Xiu, and Zhong Mu, not being accepted by the other players, could only follow them upstairs.
The remaining players in the lobby looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Upon reaching the second floor, Yin Xiu noticed the broken painting at the top of the stairs, which was the result of the noise Li Mo had made last night after he went into the bathroom.
The portrait depicted a man, a member of the town mayor's faction, who maliciously tried to persuade him to choose the town mayor. When he came out of the toilet, the man disappeared from the portrait, and the glass in the portrait shattered.
Judging from the screams that were heard in the corridor at that time, it seemed that the other party had been eaten by Li Mo.
In other words...
Yin Xiu turned to look at Li Mo, who had followed behind, and pointed to the portrait, "Where is the person inside?"
Li Mo smiled slightly, "I ate it."
Zhong Mu, who was walking behind Li Mo, was shocked. He turned pale, raised his hand to cover his ears, and hurriedly walked past them while muttering that he couldn't hear them.
Yin Xiu continued, "Can you pull him out of the portrait?"
Li Mo nodded.
"So you have this ability... Not bad..." Yin Xiu pondered, quickly calculating its uses in his mind.
The moment the word "not bad" escaped Yin Xiu's lips, Li Mo's ever-present upturned lips quickly curled upwards, subtly revealing a hint of pleasure.
"Can you pull the other people in the portrait out of the portrait too?" Yin Xiu didn't notice his expression and continued to probe.
Li Mo nodded again.
Yin Xiu was taken aback. He had only asked the question casually, but he hadn't expected that the man could actually do it. The scope of this man's abilities was simply too incredible. Even if he was a monster, he was definitely not an ordinary monster. Just the fact that he could pull people out of the portrait was enough to give the town mayor a good beating.
Yin Xiu quickly considered its uses in his mind. With this incredible existence, his desire to enter the basement of the house became much easier.
"Let's make a deal." Yin Xiu quickly formulated a plan in his mind, then looked up at Li Mo and said seriously, "I'll tell you what you need to do first, and you can consider whether you can do it. If you're willing, I'll tell you the conditions you want, how about it?"
Li Mo nodded.
Yin Xiu leaned closer and whispered his plans in Li Mo's ear for a while, then stepped back and stared at Li Mo, "Do you think you can do it?"
Li Mo smiled and said, "Okay."
"What are your conditions? Tell me and I'll consider it."
Li Mo began to think, his eyes lowered as he pondered, motionless as if his computer had stopped working.
Yin Xiu patiently stood opposite him and waited.
So the players outside the screen watched as the two stood face to face, saying nothing, for several minutes. Just when they were about to think the screen had frozen, Li Mo looked up.
His dark eyes held a smile as he slowly said, "Go to sleep."
Yin Xiu tilted his head slightly, "How are we going to sleep?"
"We'll sleep in coffins together."
Yin Xiu pondered, "One night?"
"Um."
"No problem." Yin Xiu nodded. Because Li Mo was so inhuman, he was mentally prepared for whatever conditions Li Mo might say, so he wasn't too surprised.
But the players outside the screen were completely confused.
"What the heck? When I heard him say he was going to sleep, I thought this amazing roommate was finally going to make a move, but he's sleeping in a coffin?? Did I hear that right??"
"You heard me right... He said he'd sleep in a coffin, sleep in a coffin with Yin Xiu. I can't even keep up with his train of thought. What's going on in his head?"
"Can't you have any self-respect?! Can't you be a decent human being?! Be bold and sleep with my brother Xiu!"
"You, who came before me, are even more extraordinary."
Once the two agreed on the terms, Yin Xiu immediately pulled Li Mo along and began to act, saying, "Let's go, let's take down all the paintings in the building first."
Li Mo nodded and quietly followed behind Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu would take one painting, and he would take another, then follow behind, staring at the paintings.
As he stared at it, he grinned, startling all the surrounding portraits into trembling.
"You're not allowed to eat them." Yin Xiu turned around and couldn't help but frown, instructing, "You can't eat any of the portraits from the daytime. If you want to eat, eat the ones from the evening."
Li Mo slowly closed his mouth again, maintaining his smile.
The portrait was startled, the players outside the screen were startled, and Zhong Mu, who happened to witness this scene, was also startled. Only Yin Xiu continued to retrieve the painting as if nothing had happened.
"In a way, they're a perfect match..." Zhong Mu encountered such a combination on his first time entering a dungeon. If there weren't other normal players around, he would have almost thought that all players entering dungeons were this weird.
"Do you need my help?" He quickly came over to lend a hand.
Just then, Li Mo's painting was almost full, so Yin Xiu pointed to the portrait and said, "Please put it in my room for me."
"Okay." Zhong Mu obediently took the portrait from Li Mo's hand. Her fingers accidentally touched his cold fingers, and she couldn't help but shiver. She looked up and met Li Mo's smiling expression, but still forced herself to pretend nothing had happened. She turned to ask Yin Xiu, "What do you want to do with these paintings?"
"It's too early to say."
"Oh." Since following Yin Xiu, Zhong Mu has learned not to look at what she shouldn't look at, not to listen to what she shouldn't listen to, and not to ask about what she shouldn't know. She obediently took the painting and left.
"Keep an eye on Ya Ya for me." Yin Xiu reminded her again as he was about to go downstairs after retrieving the portrait from the second floor.
"Okay." Zhong Mu replied, turning to open Yin Xiu's room door.
Just as I opened the door, I saw Ya Ya squatting next to the portrait, staring at it and drooling.
"…I can't see it, I can't see it, I can't see it." Zhong Mu took a deep breath, muttered to himself, and carried the portrait into the house.
Once this dungeon is completed, he will definitely be a half-finished master who won't be surprised by anything.
After going downstairs, some players were still discussing information in the lobby, but most had already gone out to check the town, leaving only a small group. They became alert when they saw Yin Xiu and Li Mo come down, but then became confused when they saw them taking the portrait.
"What do they want with the mayor's painting?"
Not only were the players inside the instance confused, but those outside were equally perplexed, having no idea what Yin Xiu was planning to do.
As they were getting things, the door suddenly creaked open, and someone returned.
Everyone turned to look.
He is the town mayor.
