Yin Xiu was pressed face-to-face with the wall for a long time and was really frozen by the cold air below. After regaining his freedom, he quickly rubbed his arms before turning to look at the two people next to him.
The two sides maintained a considerable distance, staring intently at each other.
Li Mo was in high spirits, facing the enemy with a smile as always, handling the situation with ease.
The mayor had just been attacked by the female ghost. His shoulder had been bitten off, and his clothes were covered in blood. His once strong face was also covered in blood, and he was panting heavily, clearly exhausted.
Yin Xiu stroked his chin thoughtfully. Was this... about to start a fight?
Being able to see the attack methods of two monsters at once was a good experience. The main purpose was to study the opponents in advance so that he could have a way to fight back if attacked by either of them.
With an attitude of observing, Yin Xiu stood silently by the wall, waiting for the two to start fighting.
But neither Li Mo nor the mayor took the initiative to make a move. After a stalemate that lasted for a minute, the mayor spoke first.
"Yin Xiu, someone as special as you will inevitably be noticed by other strange creatures, even if I didn't discover it."
He was helpless against Li Mo, and even somewhat afraid of him. He could only turn to Yin Xiu, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said meaningfully, "If you don't die by my hand now, you will definitely be killed by that monster by your side one day."
Yin Xiu lowered his eyes, brushed the dust off his clothes, and nodded. "Yes, that's what I think too."
The mayor's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't expected Yin Xiu to agree with him so easily. He immediately continued to sow discord, saying, "I noticed you've been wary of him the whole time. He must have provoked you, right?"
Yin Xiu thought about it and realized it was true. It was like a bolt from the blue. He had been living in the small town for six years when suddenly a strange creature appeared at his doorstep and pulled him into a dungeon. Unfortunately.
The mayor continued leisurely, "If this is a dungeon monster, and he doesn't want you to leave, he will definitely keep you in the dungeon."
"He will definitely take action to prevent you from leaving the instance. You will have to worry every moment from now on that he will attack you when you are weak. Rather than being killed for no reason one day, you might as well cooperate with me now. I guarantee you can leave the instance safely."
Yin Xiu pondered that the biggest commotion Li Mo made after appearing in the town was pulling him into a dungeon, suggesting that the dungeon was indeed quite likely to be a strange place.
His downcast gaze and deep thought gave the town mayor hope; he thought Yin Xiu was shaking the current distance between them.
After thinking it over, Yin Xiu simply raised his eyes and stared at the town mayor peacefully. "Thank you for your reminder, but I'm not going to cooperate with you. Whoever wants to kill me, I will kill them. Even he is no exception. If he dares to attack me, I will definitely kill him. So you don't need to worry."
He spoke casually, without a hint of pretension, clearly demonstrating his confidence.
Looking at Li Mo, he didn't show any anger at being called out by Yin Xiu. In fact, the corners of his mouth turned up even more, and he was in a very good mood.
The mayor's expression turned complicated. "Are you really comfortable having such an unidentified and strange person by your side?"
"I'm not at ease."
"Then why don't you just cooperate with me to get rid of him?"
"There's no need for it, and it's not troublesome anyway." Yin Xiu calmly spread his hands. He was telling the truth. Li Mo was strange, but he didn't cause any trouble at all. In fact, he could even help. It was a hundred times easier than the town mayor who was very goal-oriented.
The town mayor saw that he could neither sway Yin Xiu nor defeat Li Mo, and was caught in a dilemma.
Someone broke the rules he set in his house, but he couldn't do anything about it.
"What are you planning to do now?" Seeing the mayor remain silent, Yin Xiu took the initiative to pull out the record book and the mayor's handbook from his pocket and waved them around. "Now that I have evidence of your crimes, are you going to come and kill me for breaking the rules and taking away your important things, or... go and heal your wounds first before coming to settle accounts with me?"
Yin Xiu's actions were both pushing his luck and giving the town mayor a way out.
The mayor stared at Yin Xiu, wanting the record book and mayor's handbook back from his hands, and also wanting Yin Xiu.
But there was Li Mo standing right in front of Yin Xiu, emanating an invisible pressure that was intimidating him.
Yin Xiu might not be able to see it, but he could clearly see that the man in the black suit was emanating countless terrifying and twisted tentacles from behind, stretching and spreading through the air, clinging tightly to the walls of the entire secret room. Each tentacle had extremely horrifying eyes, staring at him.
Those gazes were like a terrifying abyss, making it impossible for him to take a single step forward. It seemed that if he were to be carelessly exposed to them, something would rush into his body and tear his nerves apart. The fear in his heart was already making him on the verge of losing his composure.
"Wait, wait for me... to recover from my injuries..." After a long silence, the town mayor uttered a few words with a pale face. While keeping a watchful eye on Li Mo, he slowly retreated and disappeared into the secret room.
Yin Xiu was surprised by his departure. He had only wanted to provoke the mayor to see if the mayor would fight with Li Mo. In his mind, the mayor should be evenly matched with Li Mo.
So he ran away?
Why did they leave a player who broke the rules and took evidence of their crime instead of killing them?
Yin Xiu glanced at Li Mo meaningfully, as if this strange creature who had stuck to him was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. At least for now, he seemed to be above the town mayor in terms of ability.
It seems he needs to pay attention to the mayor's words. If Li Mo really intends to kill him, he definitely needs to be on guard.
Just then, Li Mo suddenly turned her head and looked at Yin Xiu.
Because he always had a smile on his face, he often exuded a very eerie and sinister aura. At this moment, he suddenly turned around and stared intently at Yin Xiu, which was particularly frightening in this cold and dark secret room.
Yin Xiu instinctively gripped the hilt of the knife, staring at him warily. "What's wrong?"
Li Mo didn't respond. Instead, he smiled and turned around, approaching Yin Xiu step by step. The atmosphere in the secret room became tense as he got closer.
The viewers in the live chat held their breath.
"Has this roommate finally stopped pretending? Is he finally going to make a move against Yin Xiu?"
"It must have been the town mayor's reminder that put Yin Xiu on his guard, so he's not going to pretend anymore!"
"I think he never pretended."
"Ahhh, this roommate is even more awesome than the mayor if he can scare him away! If his roommate really wanted to kill him, would Yin Xiu even survive?!"
"Ugh, the mayor's shares are gone, and now even the roommate's shares are going to disappear?"
"He can't even wait for this instance to end! Damn it, the mayor wants to turn Yin Xiu into a painting, let me see what his purpose is in Yin Xiu!"
Everyone stared intently at the screen, watching Li Mo approach step by step, while Yin Xiu retreated step by step, until he was pressed against the wall again.
The coldness behind him intensified Yin Xiu's hostility. He stared intently at Li Mo, never letting go of the hilt of his knife, gripping it tightly until Li Mo stood before him.
The two were close together, and Li Mo's tall figure blocked the faint light in the secret room, casting a shadow in front of him.
The person in front of him smiled and looked down at him, the smile on their lips carrying an ambiguous meaning.
Yin Xiu stared at him with a tense face, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of hostility.
"If you come any closer, I'll make my move."
