Li Mo smiled and gazed at him. "Why are you better now?"
Yin Xiu casually waved the rule sheet in his hand, his expression cool and aloof. "Because of this."
"Rules sheet? If you want, I can find you two more." In an instant, Li Mo had already figured out how to sneak off to other floors to catch monsters, but Yin Xiu waved his hand.
"There's no need to rush to look for it for now. I need to go get my knife back first." Yin Xiu turned to look at the cemetery behind him. It was silent and quiet, without any of the previous noise. It was as desolate as if the monsters underground did not exist.
He pursed his lips slightly, his voice deep and muffled, "If I had a knife, I wouldn't have been stopped by something like this."
Li Mo noticed his subtle displeasure and smiled, "Okay, go get the knife first."
Yin Xiu's unhappiness was obvious to the naked eye.
Not only could Li Mo discover it, but players watching the instance in the town through their screens could also see it.
The words, greedy and treacherous, were piercing to the heart. They didn't mention much about his past, but each flower representing desire seemed to peel back Yin Xiu's past and lay it before him.
He was so penniless that he would treasure even gifts from mysterious figures like Li Mo.
Players sighed with emotion as they thought of the little girl from the previous instance.
Suddenly, I understood why he was still so kind to her even though she was a monster. What he saw in her eyes was not something superficial like her identity, but a purer emotion hidden beneath her skin.
Thinking of the fact that everyone avoided Yin Xiu as much as the monster mentioned, including them, a barrage of outrageous comments flew across the screen at lightning speed.
"Brother Xiu!! When you come back, I'm going to plant flowers all over your front door!!"
"Brother Xiu, do you need a little sister? I can dress up as a woman and be your little sister."
"Are you awake, sir?"
"Brother Xiu! I declare you the second god of this town! If Boss Ye is ever gone, I'll make you his successor!!"
"Be careful up ahead... Boss Ye will be using live chat to clear dungeons."
"...It's okay, he doesn't know who I am."
"He doesn't know, but I do! You dare to disrespect Boss Ye? I'll report you and have Boss Ye give you a couple of slaps to wake you up."
"I was wrong! I choose to join the ranks of flower growers!"
"You're lucky you knelt down quickly."
Yin Xiu couldn't see a single word of the noisy comments. To avoid not being able to find the cemetery when he came back with the knife, he hurriedly walked along the corridor to find the place where he stored his props.
[Fifth Floor, Storage Room 303]
The section of corridor after Yin Xiu left the cemetery had a slightly more normal style; at least it looked like a corridor should.
The rooms and door numbers are densely packed on both sides, and you can see to the end of the corridor with doors separating the two sides.
Each door was marked with a room number, like a hotel room, but according to the note, these doors should be storage room doors.
As they were passing by a half-open door, Yin Xiu stopped and peeked inside.
It didn't look like a storage room; it looked like an ordinary room. A man sat at a table piled high with money, counting it with relish, muttering to himself, "Once the company goes public this week, I'll have so much money I can't spend it all. I'm going to invest. I want even more money."
A little boy tugged at the man's sleeve, "Dad, when will you earn enough money to take me out to play?"
The man ignored him, his eyes fixed on the money in his hand, grinning, "Not enough! I'm still too poor! I want more and more!!"
As the man's voice rang out, more and more money piled up on the table, slowly rolling down, while the man continued to greedily take more.
Yin Xiu silently turned and walked towards another door, quietly reaching out to open it slightly to check.
Inside, a woman was surrounded by several handsome young men. She sat among them, kissing one man's hand and another's cheek, her voice filled with lust, "I've got plenty of money, I want lots and lots of handsome men!"
Her face was haggard, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, but she still held the man's hand next to her and stuffed money into his hand, saying, "I don't want love, I just want companionship. You all have to stay by my side. One isn't enough, I'll have ten!"
The man beside her asked gently, "You've been working too hard lately. Why don't you go and rest? I'll stay with you."
The woman retorted angrily, "You're lying! You'll all leave the moment I close my eyes! I want you all to stay by my side, and I want more people watching me! I don't want to be alone!"
The room gradually became more crowded, and the handsome man's figure gradually overshadowed the woman, as well as the man who had initially sat next to her.
But the woman's voice continued, "I want more people around me, I want more people watching me, it's not enough!"
Yin Xiu closed the door and slowly walked down the corridor. After looking at the scenes in several rooms, he gradually understood that these rooms were indeed storage rooms, storing different kinds of greed.
After reaching storage room number 303, Yin Xiu stopped and stared at the door in front of him.
He carefully turned the doorknob and peered through the crack.
As soon as the door opened, a black figure rushed out and pounced on Yin Xiu.
It was a man, his entire body adorned with jewels—not just his clothes, but even his skin was studded with dazzling gems. He gazed at Yin Xiu with ecstatic joy, raising the knife in his hand. "I have no more gems left. Your eyes are so beautiful, like gems. Give them to me!"
Yin Xiu lay calmly on the ground, pointing to the side with the double handcuffs in his hand, "I think his eyes are quite nice too, why don't you go and gouge them out?"
The man paused, then looked up at Li Mo beside him.
The man, dressed entirely in black, was looking down at him with a smile. Although the man was smiling, the smile instilled fear in him silently.
Li Mo laughed, kicked the man away from Yin Xiu, then picked Yin Xiu up from the ground and threw him into the house. After completing the actions of rescuing the man and putting him in the house in one smooth motion, he smiled and turned to look at the man, saying in a gentle and amicable voice, "Want my eyes?"
The man remained silent, his face pale.
"Sure, I'll dig it out for you right now." Li Mo nodded nonchalantly. In an instant, the entire corridor was enveloped in a chill, and countless tentacles with eyes slowly swirled around the man.
Every eye stared at him intently, radiating an eerie aura.
Which of my eyes do you want?
