For example, the mayor who is currently being chased by the female ghost will definitely not be able to immediately return and kill the player who has entered the basement.
The game developers probably never imagined that the mayor would be alive but unable to move freely.
"It's a bug! This is definitely a bug!"
Some viewers in the live chat were stunned when they saw Yin Xiu enter the basement unharmed.
"Will this dungeon have bugs? This is an old dungeon, did Yin Xiu use something to exploit it?"
"Regardless, he's now in the basement, but the rules didn't kill him! He broke the rules and yet he's alive—is that reasonable?!"
"This is outrageous! I think it's ridiculous too. This must be a bug, right?"
"Regardless of whether it's a bug or not, Yin Xiu actually used the hatred of the portrait to block the door, preventing the townspeople from completing the sacrifice, and then lured out the female ghost to suppress the town mayor. This combo really stunned me."
"The best way to suppress the enemy is to release the enemy's enemy, because the female ghost and the mayor are two opposing forces that are mutually restraining each other. The best way to deal with one side is to release the other side."
"Speaking of which, the fact that he was fine after entering the basement shouldn't be a bug, right? I remember when I was clearing this dungeon, I saw someone enter the basement and be immediately killed by the mayor! And now the mayor is being chased by the female ghost... so he can't kill Yin Xiu who entered the basement?"
"So that's how it is!! Was this part of your plan too?! Yin Xiu!"
"This is just speculation, a risky act without any verification. He really dared to do it. How brave."
"This would be suicidal for anyone else! He just happened to bet right."
The viewers in the live chat were still uncomfortable with Yin Xiu's incredibly brave moves. It wasn't for any other reason than that they couldn't copy his strategies anymore; most people wouldn't dare to do the same.
At that moment, a message suddenly floated across the screen.
"Yin Xiu only dared to do it after he was sure he could kill the mayor. Do you think he was gambling? Right now, no one in the entire instance, including the mayor himself, knows that Yin Xiu can kill him. If things don't go smoothly, he can just kill the mayor instead!"
"Holy crap? Really? He did kill a town resident who turned into a monster once before, but not to the point of killing the mayor, right? That's one of the dungeon's big bosses! Don't give me that nonsense."
"Ha, you're too naive, brother. If I say he can kill, he definitely can."
"Heh, who do you think you are, bragging like that? Even Boss Ye from our town wouldn't dare to brag like that!"
"What a coincidence, I also have the surname Ye, and my name is Ye Tianxuan. Who is this Boss Ye you're talking about? Why don't you come out and have a go at me?"
"..."
"..."
6.
"...Um, Boss Ye, you're out of the dungeon? Where are you now? I'll come pick you up."
"No rush. I just came out and saw Yin Xiu in the dungeon. Let me see how he got in."
"It seems that Lady Ye forced her in."
"Really? Lady Ye has really made something of herself. After six years, she has finally achieved something great."
"...Brother Ye, Lady Ye can see it."
The chat instantly fell silent.
The group silently dropped the topic and shifted their focus back to Yin Xiu, who was entering the basement in the video.
Upon entering the basement, there were no lights on either side, and only a dimly lit staircase leading downwards in front of you.
Yin Xiu stood at the entrance for a while to let his eyes adjust to the darkness, and only started walking down after confirming that he could see the steps clearly.
After taking only a couple of steps down, a strong stench of blood and decay immediately rose up. Yin Xiu wrinkled his nose, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and continued walking down.
At the top of the stairs, the depths were even more gloomy and dark. The surrounding walls were shrouded in a chill, and the coldness against the skin made one shiver uncontrollably. Even in such a cold place, a strong stench of decay lingered, sending chills down one's spine.
"Can you see where the light is?" Yin Xiu couldn't see his surroundings clearly, so he could only ask Li Mo behind him.
"Mm." After replying, Li Mo turned on the basement light.
The moment the blinding light shone, Yin Xiu instinctively squinted. After his eyes adjusted to the light and he could see his surroundings clearly, he fell silent.
The basement was small, with portraits hanging on the walls, interspersed with gruesome dismemberment props. Dark brown marks were everywhere—on the floor, walls, tables, and in the center of the basement, where a huge black coffin stood.
It's obvious what this place is used for.
Looking at the portraits covering the wall, Yin Xiu quickly became alert.
After the lights came on, the people in the portraits slowly opened their eyes.
Yin Xiu turned around, grabbed Li Mo, and looked up at the portrait on the wall that was gradually opening its eyes, "Eat them all."
audience:?
Li Mo: ...
Although confused, Li Mo did as instructed.
The viewers watched as the man in the black suit smashed the portraits on the wall one by one, then reached out and pulled out the shadowy figures from the portraits, one by one, and then popped them out.
Screams echoed throughout the basement. The portraits trembled and were unable to escape. They were helplessly devoured by Li Mo in just a few bites.
At that moment, Ye Tianxuan, who happened to be on his way home, was stunned when he saw this scene in the square of Rules Town.
"What the hell is that thing with Yin Xiu???"
"Brother Ye, that's his roommate."
"Roommate? You call this weirdo who keeps repeating himself his roommate???"
"He's not from our town. He seems to have appeared when it was raining earlier, and went to Yin Xiu's place when no one noticed. It seems that Yin Xiu's entry into the dungeon is also related to him."
Ye Tianxuan pondered for a moment, then silently passed by the square filled with strange creatures watching the live stream. He waved to Lady Ye and left.
After Li Mo finished eating all the portraits on the basement walls, Yin Xiu turned to look at the basement entrance. Only after hearing no sound did he relax.
Suddenly, a knowledgeable comment appeared in the live chat: "Oh! I know why Yin Xiu made his roommate eat those portraits!"
"Why? Seeking analysis from experts."
"Those paintings are different from the portraits of the victims hanging outside. The paintings in the basement are of the group of people who came to persuade Yin Xiu to join the town mayor at night. They are the town mayor's informants."
"The reason the mayor was able to detect when a player entered the basement and then promptly kill the player who violated the rules is because there are portraits in the basement. Once someone breaks in, the portraits will immediately inform the mayor."
"That's why Yin Xiucai immediately had his roommate eat the person in the painting."
"The analysis makes a lot of sense, but I feel like the mayor already knew about it just now, didn't he?"
"He knows, but he's being chased by the female ghost and can't come back. Even if he manages to rush back later, all the witnesses here have been eaten, so he won't know who came in."
"So that's how it is!!"
"Only Yin Xiu, who has roommates, can do this kind of way of circumventing the rules... It's something that most people can't learn."
"That's right, so no one has ever known what's inside this basement. Yin Xiu is the first player to publicly reveal information about the basement, so hurry up and take a look!"
All eyes turned expectantly to Yin Xiu in the scene, watching him walk around the basement and then find a notebook and a mayor's handbook on the table.
The record book mainly contains the mayor's criminal records. Each file clearly describes how he selected his favorite candidate, how he approached the candidate, how he lured them to this house, how he killed them, and how he used his strange powers to seal them in a painting, preserving their most beautiful appearance.
All the previous victims had lengthy descriptions of their experiences and were praised in detail, but the last page only contained a name and a single sentence in the notes.
[Yin Xiu]
A unique collectible, irreplaceable.
