The blade flashed, followed by the mayor's scream. He tried to dodge, but couldn't escape at all.
Yin Xiu's knife was fast and ruthless, just like his ruthless nature. He cleanly sliced off a part of the body with a single stroke and then kicked it at the spirits.
The spirits were extremely ferocious and filled with resentment towards him. Whenever they had the chance, they would try to bite the mayor directly, which prevented the mayor from recovering his condition in time, let alone fighting back against the spirits.
He could only watch helplessly as Yin Xiu's knife swiftly fell upon him, consuming all his ability to resist.
In that instant, he seemed to realize that he had provoked something he shouldn't have.
Thinking about it carefully, if someone like Li Mo, who could make them feel clear fear and dread, could be interested in Yin Xiu, then what kind of person is Yin Xiu?
When would it be his turn to possess such a superior product?
In a moment of distraction, Yin Xiu's knife ripped off another piece of flesh from him and kicked it toward the spirits. Those eerie beings instantly swarmed up and devoured it clean. Then, they stared menacingly at the town mayor, who was now powerless to resist, their eyes filled with hatred.
"Don't rush." Yin Xiu held his sword horizontally in front of the spirit that was about to pounce on him, his eyes coldly instructing, "You must eat elegantly and respect the dead. Even if you can't cook, you must cut it into pieces and chew slowly. Gobbling down food is a big no-no."
The spirits glared at the now-ruined town mayor, but unwillingly took a half-step back, waiting for Yin Xiu to feed them.
"Yin Xiu!! If you have the guts, just kill me!" The town mayor howled through gritted teeth. He was, after all, a dungeon boss, and Yin Xiu dared to let these people who had died at his hands devour his body. It was an insult, worse than being killed.
"No rush. You'll die eventually. Before that, you'll have to see your own helplessness." Yin Xiu slowly walked back to the mayor's side, staring at the mangled body in front of him. He leaned down and whispered in the mayor's ear, "Don't worry, I know how to dismember a body. I'm more artistic than you."
The mayor was instantly enraged, but before he could vent his anger, Yin Xiu struck again, cutting off his scream.
The viewers stared tremblingly at the bloody scene on the screen, feeling that Yin Xiu was even more ferocious than the monsters in the dungeon.
At least the monster was swallowed whole and died at the speed of light without much pain. Yin Xiu, on the other hand, suffered slow torture and was insulted, suffering a double blow to his body and mind.
In the end, he did indeed keep his promise. Slowly, while gazing at the sky outside the window, he used a knife to cut the town mayor piece by piece, cutting him into small pieces under his conscious mind and throwing them to the spirits. In the end, only his head remained.
The spirits were fed, and after watching the mayor being tortured, their hatred had almost disappeared. As the mayor's size decreased, many spirits slowly disappeared from the room.
As darkness fell, the town was gradually entering its night.
Yin Xiu withdrew his gaze, then turned and pressed the tip of his knife against the town mayor's head. "Is he still alive?"
The mayor remained silent. All he felt now was regret—regret for not playing dead when Yin Xiu first cut off his head. Now, all he had was a head.
"It's about time, time to clear the dungeon." Yin Xiu said in a cold tone, reached out and picked up the mayor's head before turning and walking out.
Night began to fall, and the townspeople gradually left. The players knew that tonight they had to help the little girl complete the last rule on the note, and even though they didn't dare to face the townspeople, they had no choice but to come out of the inn.
In the square, two or three lights dimly illuminated the figures of two groups of people.
The townspeople glared menacingly at the players, their eyes flashing with malice as they looked at the frail little girl behind them.
Players cannot hand the little girl over to the townspeople. Even if she is dead, the mission can still be completed. If there is no body left, they will definitely be trapped and die in this instance.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Zhong Mu cautiously picked up an axe, prepared to face two groups of people if necessary.
The players cannot be allowed to take the little girl away, and naturally, the townspeople cannot be allowed to snatch her away either.
He glanced back at the little girl lying on his coat, barely alive, and felt a mix of emotions. If he hadn't been with Yin Xiu, he wouldn't have empathized with the monster. In the dungeon, indifference was the best form of self-protection. But since he was with Yin Xiu, he was determined to follow his own will to the end.
The situation became tense for a time, with neither side making a move, but the hostility between them was strong.
After the last glimmer of light disappeared on the horizon, Yin Xiu suddenly emerged from the mayor's house.
His appearance immediately drew everyone's attention. Covered in blood and icy cold, he held the town mayor's head in one hand and a Miao knife in the other, walking step by step into the dim light towards the crowd.
As he moved forward, both the players and the townspeople panicked and took a step back, none daring to get any closer to him. The two groups surrounding the entire square were forcibly pushed to the side by Yin Xiu's arrival.
Then everyone saw Yin Xiu place the mayor's head on the altar, raise the knife in his hand, his blood-stained face was very cold, but his words were very kind, "Is there anything you want to say before you die? I can barely listen."
The town mayor had completely lost his body, leaving only his head, which was also on the verge of death. He stared at Yin Xiu in the night, his lifeless pupils seeming to be lit up again.
The person with exquisite features was expressionless, dressed in white stained with blood. He was stunningly beautiful, yet cold-hearted. No matter when he saw him, he could still feel pleasure. He was the most perfect and elegant work of art he had ever seen in many years.
"I still want to have you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Xiu's blade slashed down, splitting his head in two. Black liquid trickled down and spilled onto the altar.
"The town mayor?"
"The town mayor was killed??"
"You! You actually killed our town mayor?!"
The townspeople's voices rose in a formulaic manner, filled with both anger and fear—anger that someone had killed their leader, and fear that someone had killed their leader!
Although they were furious, they didn't dare approach Yin Xiu at all, venting their anger from a distance of several meters.
With a cold expression, Yin Xiu rummaged around at his waist for a while before finally finding the notebook he had previously tucked there. He then tossed it in front of them, saying, "Look for yourselves."
The townspeople looked at him with confusion, then cautiously took two steps forward, picked up the record book from the ground, and quickly turned back to the crowd to look through the record book with the others.
After reading the logbook, the townspeople fell silent. After exchanging glances, they managed to stammer, "Uh... good for him."
Normally, if you want to complete the game through the mayor's route, this is how it works. To prevent a large-scale counterattack from the townspeople later on, you must find the logbook in the basement, otherwise you will have to fight your way out. However, if you can kill the mayor, you can also fight your way out. The logbook is just in case.
Even those who have never been to the basement can still complete the game by killing the mayor.
As for the large-scale counterattack by the townspeople...
Yin Xiu glanced at the number of townspeople. He had probably killed one when he entered the town with the little girl and another while chasing the player. The number of townspeople was not large at all. Even without the logbook, he could still kill them all.
As for handing over the manual, it was only because Ya Ya needed to be safely delivered by him.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Yin Xiu glanced at the townspeople, then stepped forward and walked through the crowd toward the direction where the little girl was.
The viewers in the live chat finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we're going to see Yin Xiu clear the game! This is the first time I've seen someone clear the game by killing the town mayor! I wonder how many stars he gets."
"Exciting! Let's get ready to meet that promising talent when the dungeon ends! We have to trick him into coming here no matter what! It's such a waste for him to stay in another town!"
"I understand, I understand. My hands are already on the keyboard. No one will be able to type faster than me in a moment!"
"I'm counting on you, bro!"
"By the way... have you guys noticed a problem?"
"What's the problem?"
"Yin Xiu has already killed the town mayor, why hasn't he put his knife away yet?"
The viewers in the live chat suddenly noticed that even though he had already killed the mayor, he was still holding the knife in his hand, without sheathing it or wiping it.
The comments section suddenly shuddered.
"Holy crap? What else is he planning to do???"
