Yin Xiu glanced at the three blurry hands, pretended not to see them, and turned his head to look elsewhere.
After a while, he glanced at them again, and the shadows were still there.
Why? He doesn't want it!
Yin Xiu forced himself to pretend he hadn't seen it and turned his gaze back to the distance.
In their quest to possess the Gate of Sin, players relentlessly chased after the unseen figure, their crowds surging and twisting as they moved.
After all this time, not a single player bound to the Sin Gate has appeared. These Sin Gate players have pretty high standards.
Yin Xiu tried hard to distinguish the unseen gates of sin wandering in the crowd. There were seven in total, three of which were beside him, and at least four more were loitering outside.
He glanced around and noticed Ye Tianxuan's side. Ye Tianxuan was in a corner, waving disdainfully at the air, taking two steps and then stopping, turning back to curse.
It seems they've been targeted.
Still dazed, he glanced to his side again. Not only had none of them left after all this time, but there was now one more, making it four!
Judging from Ye Tianxuan's actions, it seems that there is only one person entangled with him, and another Sin Gate member who can be clearly seen on the field is next to a girl. All things considered, there is still one missing. This is the Sin Gate member with truly high standards. They don't even bother to get involved with these players.
"Ah! That's great!" The girl guarding the gate of sin suddenly screamed, her face clearly showing joy.
"I've bound to one! That's wonderful!" The girl was probably very happy. She hugged the man next to her and rubbed her shoulder affectionately. "With this Sin Gate, we won't be afraid of being killed by others! We can live, darling!"
Her joy drew complex glances from others. Some might have considered taking her away from her, but seeing her boyfriend beside her, they fell into deep thought.
They were in a pair. The boyfriend looked fierce and had the "Sin Gate" curse, so it would probably be difficult to snatch him. They could only observe the situation of the others.
Just as the players were considering giving up, a terrifying plume of black smoke appeared above the man the girl was holding. With a loud bang, the man's head exploded, gushing blood.
So sudden was it that the girl fell to the ground, her face pale, unable to even speak.
The players were stunned and stared blankly at the scene. Once it quieted down, they could clearly hear a muttered curse coming from next to the girl.
"You belong only to me, you belong only to me, you belong only to me..."
Everyone was startled by the sudden murmur and felt a chill run down their spines. They looked around nervously, barely managing to discern from the chaotic crowd that the voice was coming from beside the girl.
"Why did you kill him..." The girl looked at the empty space beside her with tearful, dazed eyes. It was almost certain that the sin gate she was bound to had killed her boyfriend.
Yin Xiu pondered for a few seconds before realizing what was happening.
"It's jealousy... one of the seven deadly sins... jealousy."
If her sin is jealousy, then it's understandable that her sin doesn't allow her to have any other important existence, so her boyfriend instantly became infatuated.
The gate of sin has both advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantages should refer to this.
Yin Xiu glanced at the four blurry figures reaching out beside him and became even less interested, showing his disdain.
Seeing such extreme jealousy, it's almost certain that the bond with the Sin Gate is a double-edged sword.
Moreover, the few people next to him just stood there stubbornly and wouldn't leave. If Yin Xiu had to choose, he would pick the one who hadn't come yet, because at least they had some pride.
"Ah... Could it be that the one who didn't come was Pride..." Yin Xiu felt that he had figured it out. The Sin Gates do indeed have different personalities based on sins. If you think about it, maybe only Sloth is safe among the seven sins.
The death of the girl's boyfriend awakened the players, making them aware of the dangers of the Sin Gate. However, for them, this danger was insignificant. Binding to the Sin Gate had a certain probability of killing themselves or those around them, while not binding to the Sin Gate would have a greater probability of dying in the dungeon.
The player community's fervent search for the Gate of Sin has not quieted down. After learning about its drawbacks, they are even more eager to possess it.
However... almost all the remaining sin doors on site are here.
Yin Xiu glanced at the four blurry figures beside him, pretending not to see them with an air of nonchalance, so much so that no one noticed that there were so many members of the Sin Gate lurking around him.
After half an hour of binding to a Sin Gate, an announcement was made to all players: "The Sin Gate selection time has ended, and all Sin Gates are about to return to their respective areas. If prisoners still have Sin Gates they wish to bind to, please go to the areas where those Sin Gates are located; there is still a chance."
"But conquering them comes with certain dangers, so please choose carefully."
After the broadcast ended, the few chilling figures that had been lingering around Yin Xiu finally left. Before they left, their gazes lingered on Yin Xiu, seemingly filled with resentment.
This player is truly the first to treat them like air.
After leaving the Sin Gate, the broadcast did not immediately notify the players that free time would begin. Instead, the guards on each floor distributed a slip of paper to the players on their respective floors.
After the notes were handed out one by one, they reached Yin Xiu. The prison guard looked at the quiet Yin Xiu and was quite satisfied with his composure. Then he searched through his logbook and said, "Ye Tianxuan, right? This is where your belongings are stored. Only by going to this place can you retrieve your things and get the key to your handcuffs."
As he spoke, he handed Yin Xiu a slip of paper.
The white paper had a floor number and a room number written on it, but the note read "Ye Tianxuan".
"..." Yin Xiu stared silently at the note and nodded. He hadn't expected that the handcuff key could only be obtained along with the props. So, everyone would have to wear these inconvenient handcuffs for the first few days.
"Keep up the good work and try to get out of this instance." The prison guard patted Yin Xiu on the shoulder again. Compared to the other players who were full of hostility, he really liked Yin Xiu, who was expressionless and indifferent. He was obviously different from the other players.
"Hmm." Yin Xiu responded lazily, rolled up the note, and planned to exchange it with Ye Tianxuan later when they had free time.
After all the prison guards had handed out their notes to the players on their respective floors, the prison loudspeaker finally announced again, "In one minute, all prisoners will have free time. Please proceed to the first floor of Elysium in an orderly manner to find the warden and get out of prison in time."
After the broadcast announcement, the prison guards watching over them gradually dispersed and returned to their respective solitary cells via the stairs, leaving only the players there, eagerly gazing at the passageways they had chosen.
When the time came, the doors of the seven different passages opened with a whoosh.
The players, who had been waiting, rushed out aggressively, crowding and surging into the passage.
Everyone remembers that the Sin Gate members returned to their respective areas, and they had to hurry to retrieve their items before the others and then rob the Sin Gate members.
Yin Xiu stood still, watching the crowd surge forward and disperse through the seven passages.
There are still two or three hundred people out now. It'll be hard to say what will happen once everyone gets their items. Everyone is racing against time, fighting for their own lives.
Putting a group of bloodthirsty players together and setting a rule that allows them to kill each other and steal things is just watching the villains erode each other's resources.
The prison instance is really something else.
As he stood there in a daze, Ye Tianxuan strolled over slowly, tossing a rolled-up piece of paper at him, a smile on his face. "Oh, isn't this Ye Tianxuan? What are you doing standing here in a daze?"
