No matter when or where, the words "goodnight" that come out of Li Mo's mouth always seem to have a mysterious spiritual influence, instantly making him let down his guard and fall asleep.
This was both a good thing and a bad thing for Yin Xiu.
Fortunately, he can sleep soundly; unfortunately, he is prone to danger in dungeons.
Even if he tried to be wary of Li Mo, he would always fall asleep unexpectedly and enter a state of complete vulnerability.
Inside the pitch-black coffin, the two lay side by side in silence.
A desolate grove of trees, with two or three graves, swaying in the evening breeze, eerie yet peaceful.
The town in the distance was not as peaceful as this place. After the female ghost caused a great disturbance in the town because the townspeople did not offer sacrifices in time, countless townspeople were killed or injured, and the square was full of corpses, and the stench of blood permeated the air.
The town gradually quieted down after the sacrifice time had passed and the players went to sleep at night.
The mayor had disappeared, and the female ghost was wandering around the town. The players nervously huddled in their rooms, not daring to step outside.
Tonight, the waitress's voice could be heard again in the corridor on the second floor of the building. Just like the night before, she knocked on the players' doors one by one, asking the same questions in each room. She walked from the top of the stairs to the end of the corridor, but there was still no response. White mist gradually rose in the corridor, and the figure of that woman appeared.
The players silently prayed that the incident would end quickly and that no major problems would occur tonight.
However, the sound suddenly stopped and fell silent when it reached the door at the end of the corridor.
The players in the other rooms felt a chill run down their spines.
This is Zhong Mu's room with the little girl. Li Mo and Yin Xiu are not here, and the rules require two people to share a room, so Zhong Mu can only make do with the little girl for the night.
He knew the little girl would turn into a monster at night, and he also knew she would be more irritable at night, but he didn't expect it to be this torturous.
After nightfall, the little girl turned into a monster and started scratching and clawing all over the house, knocking over everything. She would also squat by Zhong Mu's bed and drool over him.
How is he supposed to sleep like this?!
He huddled under the covers, shivering, trying to get through the night, thinking it would all be over by dawn. But then the waiter's voice rang out again in the middle of the night, and the little girl's attention was immediately drawn to the doorway.
She dashed from Zhong Mu's bedside to the door, staring intently at it. As she listened to the waiter's voice approaching, she crouched down and slowly shifted her position, preparing to attack.
The moment the waiter approached their room, the little girl suddenly opened the door and lunged out. The attack was so swift and violent that the waiter was bitten to death before he could even scream.
Hearing the gnawing sounds coming from outside the door, Zhong Mu huddled on the bed, trembling and tears streaming down her face.
Please come back soon, Yin Xiu! He's just an ordinary person! He can't handle this terrifying scene!!
The gnawing sounds continued for a long time. After eating for quite a while, the little girl finally let out a burp at the door, patted her belly contentedly, and prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
However, the next second, a white mist swept in, and a cold wind swept across the entire corridor. The little girl trembled and suddenly turned around nervously to face the other end of the corridor, baring her teeth at something in the white mist.
Zhong Mu also sensed something appearing. Without thinking, he hurriedly jumped out of bed, rushed to the door, picked up the little girl, and ran back into the room, locking the door behind him.
The little girl is an important monster in this instance, and Yin Xiu specifically instructed that she be taken good care of.
After rushing back to his room, Zhong Mu's heart was pounding. He tilted his head back, trying his best not to look at the terrified little monster in his arms, and tremblingly checked the lock on the door.
Something appeared outside the door; slow footsteps sounded in the corridor, walking step by step towards Zhong Mu's room.
The voice was extremely clear in the night, stepping through the darkness with immense chill and fear as it reached Zhong Mu's door, clearly coming for them.
Not only did Zhong Mu feel the fear of having difficulty breathing, but even the little girl in his arms was a little nervous, clearly wary of the presence outside the door.
The footsteps stopped in front of their door and remained motionless, and the corridor fell silent.
Zhong Mu held his breath and tiptoed back two steps. He could clearly see a shadowy figure under the door, but the person made no sound or move, which made him even more uneasy.
After a long silence, a woman's voice faintly sounded outside the door.
"Ya Ya, it's Mommy. Are you inside?"
Zhong Mu was stunned and immediately looked at the little girl in his arms. Her face, which was covered in black hair and twisted, was filled with disbelief.
Everyone in this instance knows, even the little girl herself, that her mother is gone, yet the voice outside the door tonight claims to be her mother?
"Ya Ya... Mommy's here to see you. Please come out and see me, okay?" The woman outside the door continued to ask softly. Her gentle voice echoed in the empty corridor, which only made people feel uneasy.
The little girl stared blankly at the doorway, and after a couple of seconds of confusion, she began to struggle in Zhong Mu's arms, crying, "It's Mommy! Mommy's here to see me!"
Zhong Mu immediately hugged her tightly, "Don't go! That's definitely not your mother!"
"It's Mommy! That's Mommy's voice!" The little girl struggled fiercely, her emotions becoming agitated. She kicked wildly in Zhong Mu's arms, then quickly jumped out and ran straight for the door.
"Don't open the door!" Zhong Mu was so nervous that he was trembling.
The "mother" outside the door clearly knew Yin Xiu wasn't home tonight and that's why she came to lie! She definitely wouldn't have dared if Yin Xiu were inside!! She didn't even come last night!
The door was opened again as the little girl looked on expectantly.
With a creak, the light from the corridor spilled into the dark room and into the little girl's bright eyes.
However, the expectation on her face froze the next second.
Standing outside the door was the woman trapped within the seal.
She was backlit, her whole body shrouded in shadow, radiating a chilling aura. Her white dress had become even more crimson because of tonight's massacre, and blood-red stains dripped onto the doorway.
At this moment, with her face covered in blood, she smiled and looked down at the little girl, gently mimicking her mother's voice as she whispered, "Ya Ya, you're such a good girl."
The chilling sound made the little girl's pupils tremble instantly, and a huge fear immediately appeared on her tender face. She screamed in panic and tried to turn around, but was grabbed by the woman.
The woman's cold face was right in front of her in an instant, a sinister smile on her face. "Ya Ya, why are you running? Don't you want to go save your brother?"
The little girl's scream stopped abruptly. She turned to look at the woman, "...Brother, what's wrong?"
The woman smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Your brother has been arrested by the town mayor and is about to be killed. If Ya Ya hadn't gone to help him, Ya Ya probably would never have seen her brother who was so good to you again."
The woman's casual words instilled fear in the little girl's face. Trembling, she clutched the woman's white dress, crying, "Save...save my brother...I have to save my brother..."
