Why didn't he check the criminal record before stamping the document? Why?
The jailer's expression was enigmatic. Compared to his previous arrogance, he had become respectful, leaning slightly forward to tentatively ask Yin Xiu, "I've already seen your criminal record. You... no, you've toned it down now, right? Fighting and killing every day isn't good for your health. Occasionally, you can relax and do some dungeons to unwind, right?"
Covered in blood, Yin Xiu smiled slightly, "You're right."
"This… once this prison instance is stamped, it will automatically pull the player into the instance three days later… and it can't be changed, this… look…" The jailer rubbed his hands, his face ashen, "Could you relax a little after you go in?"
What do you mean?
"Well, it's that..." the jailer stammered tentatively, "It's about tightening up a bit, leaving one or two survivors or something..."
Yin Xiu nodded casually, "I'll try my best."
His casual reply made the jailer even more flustered, but whether to kill him or not was a matter for Yin Xiu to decide after he entered the instance. He was helpless now and could only respectfully step aside to make way for him. "Then you should go back and rest. You must be very tired after killing the monsters. You need to recover your energy in time. I won't bother you any longer."
Yin Xiu nodded and, seeing the jailer's sincere attitude, let him pass and left. After all, the jailer was a gentle person and wouldn't kill indiscriminately.
Watching Yin Xiu leave, the jailer glanced once more at the copy of the prison record that already bore Yin Xiu's name, and broke out in a cold sweat. "It's over, it's over, this is a huge problem!"
"I really am! Ugh!" He slapped himself twice in frustration. How could he have dragged this killing machine into the dungeon? All the monsters in this dungeon are probably going to suffer.
The jailer stared at Yin Xiu's fully cleared dungeon record. Up until now, including this newbie dungeon which he had just run for the second time, he had still cleared it all and left. It was impossible for him to break this record in the next dungeon.
"Maybe I should go back now and report this. Maybe we can hold an emergency meeting to discuss it." The jailer, weeping, clutched the records and disappeared into the white mist.
The viewers in the live chat were also stunned.
First of all, they had never even heard of the prison dungeon for high-risk players.
Secondly, Yin Xiu's past record is that he cleared the game by killing everyone?! If he had left even one survivor, his record wouldn't be completely red! What kind of living Yama is this?!
Finally...
"Hehe, Yin Xiu has finally been caught and taken to the police station! As expected, any player who tortures and kills monsters will be brought to justice!"
"Is it possible that he'll massacre everyone in this prison next time?"
"Hilarious! This prison instance is a high-risk player gathering instance that restricts all other instances from coming out. It's full of villains, and to deal with villains, the instance has to be even more terrifying! I've heard about how terrifying it is."
"Even if Yin Xiu is inside, he'll definitely suffer a bit! He probably won't be killed outright."
"Heh, you little monster, narrow-minded. Just wait for me, the great Yin Xiu, to slaughter you."
"You dare provoke me? You better not close your eyes tonight!"
"With my brother Xiu here, do you think I'm afraid of you? At worst, I'll go kowtow at his doorstep! You dare to come?"
"You wait, 365 days, I'll be able to wait until Yin Xiu isn't around, and I'll go to Bo Sha in three days!"
"Brother Gui, I was wrong!"
"Brother, your words are as arrogant as your kneeling sliding."
As the white mist dissipated, Yin Xiu left the instance through the familiar door and returned to his own room.
It was daytime in the town of Rules, and the Night Goddess was no longer at the door.
Light from outside the window streamed into the messy room, and the wreckage of the fight left Yin Xiu exhausted.
The outside was noisy and bustling, quite different from the quiet and serene atmosphere of Yin Xiu's room.
Looking at the mess in the room, he began to calculate the cost of repairs. Aside from the marks on the walls, his bed had been flattened by the Night Goddess, making it impossible to go to sleep immediately. He could only go buy some things first.
Fortunately, he had just finished the dungeon and settled some of his dungeon assets, so he finally had some money to squander.
Players must obtain all the expenses needed to live in the rule towns from the dungeon assets they receive after completing the dungeons. Each rule town has a shop that has everything, but it only accepts dungeon assets.
Since Yin Xiu left the dungeon six years ago and stopped entering it, his dungeon assets have only decreased and never increased. In addition, he never considered the star rating when clearing dungeons before. He killed all the enemies he needed to kill and cleared them quickly with low stars, so his dungeon assets were not much. He had indeed spent them all in six years.
He lived a frugal life himself, so he had no extra assets to prepare offerings for Lady Ye. Therefore, he only drank water and tea every day, which made Lady Ye particularly unhappy with him.
"Prepare something good for Lady Ye. She won't come back tonight, will she?" Yin Xiu hurriedly changed his clothes, not even bothering to clean up the bloodstains on his body, and turned to go out to buy supplies. He needed to prepare the house repairs and the offerings for Lady Ye before dark.
Just before leaving, Yin Xiu suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look around the room.
It seems that Li Mo didn't come out with them.
He not only disappeared at the end of the dungeon, but he also didn't return to the room after the dungeon ended.
"They should be gone." Yin Xiu wasn't sure, but he was glad that there was no longer a strange person watching him. He turned around and walked out the door, heading towards the shop at the end of the alley.
As soon as he stepped outside, Yin Xiu immediately sensed something was wrong.
He stopped and stood in the quiet alley, turning around to look behind him, squinting as he scanned the deep corners.
When he returned to his room, he felt it was cold, as if a chill lingered in the air. Considering that Li Mo and Ye Niangniang had been in the room before, this was understandable. But now that he was outside, he still felt a bit cold.
It was as if the chill wasn't in his room, but rather following him around.
Yin Xiu didn't see anything, so he turned around and continued walking.
He took two steps, then paused again.
Okay, now not only is there a clear chill all around, but the sense of sight is also completely unobstructed.
It felt like Li Mo, but the oppressive feeling was much less than when Li Mo himself was next to him. It felt like... a part of Li Mo?
Yin Xiu was inexplicably startled by his own thoughts. He was able to recognize that this was a part of Li Mo from an unknown entity, and he was somewhat influenced by it.
Yin Xiu gave up trying to find the source of this sense of presence and continued on his way to buy things.
After preparing the tools to repair the doors and windows and buying a new bed, his assets were reduced by more than half. After buying some offerings for the Night Goddess, he had very little left.
Yin Xiu walked back with a heavy expression, carrying packages of various sizes. If he had these offerings, the Night Goddess would still come to bother him tonight. He promised that from now on, he would only have plain water every day, no more.
Large items such as beds will be automatically placed into Yin Xiu's house, but Yin Xiu will have to repair the doors and windows himself. He can't afford to buy brand new doors, windows and walls, so he has to repair them himself, and Yin Xiu has gotten used to this.
No one in the entire town was more independent and versatile than him.
Good afternoon.
As soon as Yin Xiu returned to the front door, he bumped into a familiar figure standing in front of his door, who was smiling and greeting him.
The man was dressed in a casual white sweatshirt. He had gentle features with a hint of mixed heritage, clear blue eyes, and delicate features. He was the kind of man the mayor would be ecstatic to see. However, his pale complexion and the fragility surrounding him made him seem like a flower that could be broken at any moment in the dangerous town.
This is Ye Tianxuan, the current manager of the town.
