Yin Xiu looked down at his handcuffs. He should go and discuss the handcuff issue with Ye Tianxuan, but he nodded and said calmly, "Since Ye... well, since Yin Xiu is there, I'd like to go and see what the legendary God of Slaughter looks like."
The player was overjoyed. "You have good taste! Although our Boss Yin Xiu looks a bit weak and his health doesn't seem very good, since he's the legendary God of Slaughter, he must be very strong."
"Let me tell you, judging from your indifferent reaction, you probably have no idea how strong Yin Xiu is." The other person excitedly hooked his arm around Yin Xiu's shoulder and began to loudly proclaim the killing god's deeds they had heard, chattering on and on as he led Yin Xiu forward.
"Tell me, how many people can make monsters so afraid? The word 'Yin Xiu' that comes out of a monster's mouth is almost always trembling; not one of them isn't terrified when they hear it!"
"Someone who wiped out the entire dungeon before leaving must be incredibly ruthless and powerful! We newbies are nowhere near their level! Following the pros and working hard is definitely the right thing to do!"
"Mmm..." Yin Xiu responded perfunctorily, his gaze lingering on this floor as he examined it. "Which floor is this?"
"It's the fourth floor, Laziness! I just bound the Gate of Sin on this floor!" The player happily pointed to the Gate of Sin next to him.
The Sin Gate, wearing a purple mask and a long robe, had not reacted at all since Yin Xiu first saw it. It neither urged the player to do anything nor said a word, acting as if it were an accessory hanging next to the player.
Yin Xiu sized up the player next to him, who was speaking eloquently and appearing energetic. He really didn't seem to be affected by laziness.
What exactly are the criteria that the Sin Gate uses to select people?
Yin Xiu recalled that although Ye Tianxuan would sometimes grumble at disobedient players in the town, he was actually very good-tempered. It was unusual that he would be targeted by the "Wrathful Gate," a sin with a completely different nature.
"Do you know what abilities your laziness has?" Yin Xiu asked softly, looking at the sin gate that was as still as a pendant, feeling like it was just idling away.
"I don't know, I just bound myself! I'll find a monster to test it out on my way back!" This player looked very aggressive and motivated.
Yin Xiu nodded silently, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the eye that had quietly appeared on his left palm, staring at him intently.
He brought his palm closer and whispered, "Don't come out yet, wait a while."
The eye in the palm curved slightly, then shrank back.
"Speaking of which, what's your name? I'm Zuo Meng." The player next to him put his hands in his pockets and looked up at Yin Xiu with a proud expression. "I'm 58% complete, but I'm too afraid of monsters, so I accidentally killed too many people while using an item and ended up here. I'm a law-abiding citizen, I don't kill other players."
Yin Xiu replied casually, "Yes, my name is Ye Tianxuan."
"Ye Tianxuan? That name sounds familiar..." Zuo Meng scratched her head, unable to recall for a moment, and waved her hand. "It's probably the same name as someone I remember. Anyway, you're still handcuffed at this point, and you're not exactly a powerful person anymore. Follow me, I'll protect you! I guarantee I'll get you safely to Boss Yin Xiu!"
Yin Xiu nodded calmly, showing no reaction to Zuo Meng's belittling, while the comments section was filled with laughter.
"Hahaha! Someone has led Yin Xiu to see Yin Xiu!"
"Some people say that Brother Xiu doesn't know about Yin Xiu's deeds, and they're telling Brother Xiu about Yin Xiu's deeds, hahaha."
"This guy looks so simple-minded, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
"A player from the mid-to-low rank mixed in with the high rank players. He didn't even recognize any of the pros, yet he called himself a pro. It's hilarious."
"Please, the look that monster that just peeked out from the wall had when it saw Yin Xiu's handcuffs was more terrifying than when it saw his sin gate. What is he so proud of?"
"The handcuffs are fading; do you even know the value of a player with white handcuffs?"
"When I saw Brother Xiu and Boss Ye switch identities, I knew something funny was going to happen."
"After changing his identity, Boss Ye has been doing very well using Brother Xiu's identity. Even the Sin Sect doesn't dare to do anything to him."
"Yes, but I didn't expect Brother Xiu's part to be so funny, hahaha."
Amidst the laughter of the comments section, Zuo Meng led Yin Xiu into the next section of the corridor.
The two had just stepped into the corridor when the door behind them slammed shut, startling Zuo Meng. "That scared me to death! Why did the door close by itself?!"
Yin Xiu, who was standing next to him, gave him a cold look. He quickly explained, "I suspect that some monster is attacking us! I wasn't scared."
"…Hmm." Yin Xiu nodded a second time, completely unconcerned about his little bit of pride as a big shot.
Yin Xiu could sense the extreme quietness of the Sloth floor from the time he was at the stairwell. The Gluttony floor was completely devoured by Li Mo, so the absence of any strange occurrences or sounds was normal. However, the complete silence of this floor was quite unusual.
"Anyway, don't worry. Although I haven't received the rules for this level yet, and neither has the organization, I have the Gate of Sin. There's always a way to get you through. Don't be afraid!" Zuo Meng said earnestly, her eyes trembling as she cautiously looked around.
"Hmm." Yin Xiu nodded, thought for a moment, and took out the rule sheet that Li Mo had given him earlier from his pocket.
That seems to be the rule list for the laziness level.
"I don't know why this floor is so quiet, there aren't even any ghosts." Zuo Meng muttered to herself, clenching her fists as she carefully examined the nearest door.
"Because the monsters on this floor are all asleep, they won't wake up unless you make a loud noise," Yin Xiu replied.
"Oh, I see." Zuo Meng nodded, then paused for a second before turning back. "How did you know?!"
He turned his head and saw Yin Xiu standing there quietly, carefully looking at a rule sheet. Zuo Meng's eyes widened instantly.
"This...this couldn't be the rule sheet for the lazy layer? The lazy layer rule sheet that our organization hasn't received yet???"
Yin Xiu nodded perfunctorily, "Mmm...mmm."
His attention was entirely focused on the rule sheet, which contained very simple rules.
Lazy layer rules:
1. To enter the world of laziness, one must become lazy and not disturb it.
2. Enter the world of laziness. Don't become lazy, or you'll sink into it.
3. Laziness is a good habit. When your brain is controlled by any emotion, you can return to normal by simply letting go of your brain briefly and going into a blank state.
4. Be quiet when passing through the corridor, but once you enter the room, it is your private area.
Yin Xiu quickly skimmed through the rules, memorized them, and then pondered them repeatedly in his mind.
He looked up and saw Zuo Meng rubbing her hands together eagerly, saying, "I didn't expect you to have such a good thing on you. Since you're going to the organization anyway, why not donate this good thing to the organization? Boss Yin Xiu will remember your contribution!"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Yin Xiu quickly put away the rule sheet, tucked it behind his back, and looked slightly cold.
"These are my personal belongings, and no one is allowed to take them."
