Yin Xiu squinted as he listened to the sounds outside. How could someone actually break into such a united group of players to steal the rule sheet?
He could get the rules information for free even if the other party didn't try to steal it, so why would he risk going through all that trouble?
With a "let's see what happens" attitude, Yin Xiu immediately got up.
"Shall we go outside?" Li Mo, who had been standing quietly to the side, asked.
"Hmm." Yin Xiu nodded. "But you don't need to go back to me. Anyway, it's noisy outside, so no one should notice you."
"Okay." Li Mo replied and followed Yin Xiu outside.
Yin Xiu left the lounge and saw that the lively crowd at the end of the corridor had become somewhat chaotic, with players layered upon each other surrounding someone.
After taking two steps closer, he heard a shrill female voice from the crowd, filled with deep jealousy, "Why! How can you have so many rules! Why can you stay here happily without facing any danger!"
"Why...why is it that only my poor boyfriend died! Why am I all alone! I'm so envious! I'm so jealous!"
The woman's voice was filled with deep resentment, each utterance sounding like a desperate cry. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Yin Xiu remembered it after a moment's thought.
She was the girl who became entangled in jealousy in the lobby and then had her lover killed.
But even when her voice changed from sweet to fearful, it wasn't as low and resentful as it is now, as if she were a completely different person.
"You killed your boyfriend because of the sin you bound yourself to, what does that have to do with us!" the players retorted angrily. "Besides, these rule lists were the result of the organization's hard work! There are still people who went to collect the rules and haven't returned yet!"
But it seemed the woman was no longer listening to the player.
Yin Xiu peeked through the crowd and saw that the woman who had been so sweet and beautiful in the lobby now had disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, and emotions completely devoid of reason. She was sobbing repeatedly in a low voice, "I want it too, I want it too... so many rules, so many companions... I want it too..."
"I don't want to be alone anymore... I don't want to be alone anymore..."
"I'm so envious...no...I'm so jealous...I'm so jealous of you all..."
She stretched out her hand to the crowd with a sorrowful expression, continuing to move forward. From the shadowy figures that appeared behind her, voices kept echoing, "They have what you don't have, they have what you don't have."
As the woman's emotions erupted, the black smoke swirling around her continued to spread, and the surrounding players retreated warily.
After all, they had witnessed people being killed by this black smoke.
"What do we do! She's heading into the record room, we can't let her take those rule sheets!" a player cried out in despair. "Do we have any defensive items? We can't let her in!"
"No! We only kept the healing and offensive types. Let's find a way to attack her! Drive her away! Or... kill her!"
Once the target was identified, the player groups sprang into action.
There were no defensive items, but there were defensive crime doors, so Zuo Meng was placed at the entrance of the recording room as a door panel. He trembled and clung to the door frame, not daring to look at the gloomy woman a few steps away.
The other players immediately prepared their attack tools and began to surround and kill the woman.
Yin Xiu watched the show from the sidelines, witnessing for the first time the difference between the Sin Sect and ordinary players.
The sharp offensive items were varied and all aimed directly at the vital points. Whether it was a throwing knife with a percentage hit rate or an electric whip that would definitely entangle and generate electricity once it hit the target, they were all troublesome and deadly items for the player. However, the moment these items were used on the woman, they were all blocked by the Sin Gate behind her.
Thick black smoke emanated from the Sin Gate and the woman, forming a powerful defensive shield that easily blocked any attack. Any player within a step of the woman would be instantly killed the moment they touched the black smoke, without any chance to react.
With its balanced offense and defense, and high lethality, Yin Xiu truly witnessed the importance of the Sin Gate in this instance.
No wonder so many players want to bind themselves to the Sin Gate. Even though it's a double-edged sword, the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks, provided you can handle it.
Yin Xiu glanced at Li Mo beside him. He knew from the beginning that Li Mo was very strong, so he didn't have any concept of how strong the Sin Gate was. The Sin Gate he encountered was Sloth... It might attack, but it was Sloth, so it only activated defense.
Now, facing this player with a very high level of corruption and the Sin Gate he possesses, Yin Xiu realizes that the Sin Gate is indeed very powerful.
There are a total of seven sin gates in the instance, four of which have been bound, and three remain scattered and unknown. Ye Tianxuan probably never expected that even their small organization, which had shared information with the outside world, would still be attacked and robbed.
It's quite unexpected that people would refuse something offered for free and insist on grabbing it.
The players' attacks drove the woman even more hysterical. She pointed at the players around her, saying, "I envy you so much... you can have your life guaranteed without any effort..."
The player who was pointed at was instantly obliterated by a plume of black smoke.
"I envy you so much… You even meet like-minded people in the dungeon…" The woman pointed to another player, who was still alive, but the player next to him was killed by black smoke.
"Aaaaah! You! I'm going to kill you!" The player whose teammate was killed charged at the woman in a rage, but the result was tragic.
The woman, corrupted by jealousy, continued to attack the defending players. This was also the rage layer, and unknowingly, the players' emotions were also stirred up, and they began to become unusually sensitive and irritable.
Players the woman pointed at were all killed, so much so that no one dared to get too close to her; wherever her finger pointed, everyone would immediately dodge away.
Finally, the woman pointed in the direction of Yin Xiu, and the crowd that had been surrounding them suddenly dispersed, pointing to Yin Xiu and Li Mo standing outside the crowd.
Her voice slowly rose, "I envy you so much... Even though you are cold and ruthless, with blood on your hands, you still... have people who value you..."
Yin Xiu looked at her calmly, "You're right, thank you."
The woman's gaze was fixed on Yin Xiu, then turned to Li Mo beside him.
"Is that...your boyfriend?"
Yin Xiu denied it calmly, "No."
The woman ignored her, muttering to herself, "How envious... I used to have a boyfriend who loved me very much... but he died..."
"I'm so envious, so jealous... I'm so jealous that your boyfriend is still alive..."
Yin Xiu's eyes drooped slightly. "I already said he's not my boyfriend."
"That's so good... He's still alive... I want one too, I really want a boyfriend who's still alive..." The woman's voice turned mournful and shrill again, "I'm so jealous... Why do you have a boyfriend who's still alive... I'm so jealous... so jealous..."
As she spoke, she slowly approached Yin Xiu, and the large patch of black mist became even thicker.
Yin Xiu sighed softly, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Fine then, if you're jealous, then come and kill my boyfriend."
