"What's he doing in the toilet?! Is he looking to die?! That's a dead end!"
"Sigh, I just praised him for being clever, and then this move completely baffled me. Is he doomed?"
"What a pity, what a pity."
A wave of regret swept through the live chat as the screen paused. The waiter, who had been sprinting after Zhong Mu, stopped the moment he entered the men's restroom and stood at the door without going in.
Zhong Mu safely hid in a toilet stall, but the attendant at the door did not go in for a long time.
"Why didn't she chase after him inside? I refuse to believe that a monster would follow the rules of the men's and women's restrooms. If you followed the rules so well, you wouldn't be a monster!"
"It shouldn't be that; there's probably some other reason."
"Ah... wait, isn't this the fourth rule of the inn? The toilet is at the end of the corridor. If possible, try to have someone accompany you. You can go alone, but don't pay any attention to any noise."
"I was wondering if someone went to the toilet alone at night and died on the way, would the person left in the room trigger the first rule? But then I thought, since the rule says that it is okay for a person to go alone, then when a person enters the toilet alone, the room ignores the first rule of two people sharing the room, right?"
"Your analysis seems to make sense, so this newbie... plans to spend the night in the bathroom using the fourth rule???"
"It's not impossible."
6.
"Bold and meticulous, no wonder he could see Yin Xiu was a big shot at a glance. Good seedling, let's raise him."
"It's a pity she's not from our town, otherwise I would definitely have taken her in."
"That's easy. When the dungeon ends, players can see the chat. At that time, you can change towns again to steal or trick them! You can definitely win them over!"
"666".
"...I remember someone saying he was doomed?"
"Haha, it definitely wasn't me."
Zhong Mu successfully slipped into the toilet through the part of the rules that were unclear, but the waiter kept guarding the door and showed no sign of leaving, which meant that he couldn't get out of there before dawn, and naturally he couldn't notify Yin Xiu.
"I hope the little girl is alright..." Zhong Mu hesitated as he peeked out of the cubicle, trying to see what was going on. He then exchanged a deep look with the waiter at the door, but under the waiter's angry glare, he silently shrank back inside.
Unable to go out and inform Yin Xiu in time, they could only leave it to fate.
Although it's easy for the little girl to get into trouble by going to the mayor, considering that she herself is also a strange creature, I don't think she will die. What's making Zhong Mu more panicked now is Yin Xiu.
After spending the last two days together, he could sense that Yin Xiu treated this strange little girl quite well. His cold demeanor couldn't hide a hint of tenderness, which was clearly an expression of his affection for her.
So, what would Yin Xiu do if something happened to the little girl?
Thinking back to the last time the little girl was abducted by Wang Guang, the murderous intent emanating from Yin Xiu was terrifying.
He was such a cold and indifferent person from the moment they met, someone who didn't even bother to get angry at the players' indifference and mockery, yet he actually took the initiative to draw his sword and charge into the monster horde, killing until the monsters were terrified, until the town mayor stepped in to stop him, covered in blood, so cold that even Zhong Mu was frightened.
In that instant, Yin Xiu's aura was completely different from his usual indifference; it was filled with more ferocity and killing intent, as if his hands were stained with countless drops of blood.
Zhong Mu frowned, sighed, and panicked a little. The players were alright... but the monsters were another story.
Late at night, noisy voices could be heard in the square outside the town, seemingly from the townspeople.
A faint light flickered across the dark square, dappling the crowd in the night. Their distorted faces were now gathered together, each wielding a weapon and launching an attack on the enormous monster that had appeared in the center of the square.
The woman inside the seal only kills during the day and when sacrifices are violated, but she has no power at night, so the townspeople can roam freely outside.
At that moment, a gigantic monster suddenly appeared in the square. It roared and charged at the crowd, scattering them with a single blow. Its twisted mouth tore and gnawed at the bodies of the townspeople, and as if venting its anger, it slammed them to the ground and crushed them.
The townspeople, their eyes bloodshot, grabbed their knives and hysterically pounced on the monster, hacking at it wildly whenever they had the chance. Every cut pierced the flesh, leaving bloody wounds on its furry body.
The monster roared in pain and fought back even more fiercely.
Both sides attacked each other like madmen. One side was outnumbered but extremely aggressive, while the other side fought in groups, maneuvering and slowly wearing down her strength.
Other players who had overheard the conversation between the little girl and the woman in the corridor were somewhat bewildered after seeing the fierce battle in the square. Why were the dungeon monsters fighting each other?
"That little girl has completely turned into a monster! I knew the monster's corpse mentioned in the game rules was her!"
"Speaking of which, apart from leaving town at night, you fulfilled all of Mom's promises, right?"
"Yes, and it wasn't specified whether they were dead or alive when they left the town. Even if their bodies left the town, it would still count as leaving."
"So that means it doesn't matter if the little girl dies now? Because all the rules that required her have been fulfilled."
"That's right, she's no longer of any value to us, only a threat."
"Once the townspeople kill her, we can go and loot the loot. If she's the monster corpse mentioned in the rules, we'll clear this dungeon easily!"
"Even if the corpse referred to in the rules isn't the little girl, we can still give it a try. If she dies, we'll have one less threat. In any case, her killing will only benefit us."
"Hahaha, yes, I hope the townspeople will kill her quickly!"
A group of onlookers, no longer wanting to sleep, stayed by the window watching the carnage unfold, waiting for the final outcome.
The monstrous little girl kept howling and retaliating furiously. As her body was constantly injured and bleeding, her strength waned and her mobility slowed down. The townspeople even began to gain the upper hand.
This brawl lasted for several hours. During this time, the little girl tore countless townspeople to pieces, but her body was also covered in wounds, with bones even showing through the torn flesh. She fought back while howling in pain.
Players crowded onto the windowsills, cheering for the townspeople.
"Ya Ya..." Zhong Mu peeked out of the cubicle with concern. From his position, he couldn't see the direction of the square, but he could hear screams and the little girl's cries coming from there.
The deep, hoarse roar of the monster sounded to him like crying.
