Yin Xiu sighed and simply closed his eyes to take a nap in the coffin.
Players who happened to be moving the screen over saw their Xiu lying in a coffin with his eyes closed, enveloped in a bunch of sticky tentacles.
"Holy crap, did my Xiu-ge get eaten by tentacles? How come he's lying in a coffin with his funeral preparations all made?"
"Ahhh, my Xiu-ge! You're not going to get strangled by those tentacles, are you? No, my god of death!"
"Lying there with eyes closed so peacefully, it's most likely that he's gone."
"Waaaaah, my dear Xiu-ge, I haven't even had a chance to see you kill the warden yet."
The viewers in the live chat were heartbroken and went to cry to Ye Tianxuan.
"Huh? Yin Xiu was killed by tentacles?" Ye Tianxuan smoked a cigarette as he watched a barrage of crying comments float by. He exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "That was his boyfriend. What business is it of yours if the young couple is resting after their fun? Come back here! Stop watching."
The comments section crawled back from the other end with blank stares.
Boyfriend? Couple? Wasn't that just talk before in front of the Jealousy Gate? Besides, Brother Xiu rejected him!
It's absolutely impossible for someone to be boyfriend to some unknown monster and get entangled with him. That's Yin Shashen, who would never get close to anyone in ten thousand years!
Two hours later, the players gradually got up, and the church gradually returned to its white state after dawn.
Those players who emerged from the small room, now tainted by sin, smiled contentedly, quietly stepping over the others to sit in the chairs, gazing longingly at the angel statue, listening to the church bells ring once more.
Ye Tianxuan gazed indifferently at those people. The lust and sins in the church were equivalent to polluting the pure land deep in people's hearts. This place was chosen to be both extreme and exciting. If he hadn't been here, countless players would have fallen into this trap.
In the final minutes, the players gradually packed up their belongings and prepared to escape. After enduring all night with the help of Ye Tianxuan's smoke, they were all flushed and eager to get out of this hellish place.
"Why hasn't Yin Xiu returned yet?" Ye Tianxuan stood at the door waiting. It seemed that he hadn't returned since he disappeared from the church. Could it be that after being corrupted, he went and killed the warden in a fit of rage?
Ye Tianxuan considered his reaction after being corrupted by laziness, and it wasn't impossible...
With a click, the church door opened, and a soft light streamed in. The players excitedly rushed outside and hurriedly left the place.
The Rift changes random every half hour. If you find the stairwell and navigate to the first floor to the warden's room in the next half hour, you should be able to leave the instance smoothly.
As soon as the door opened, everyone returned to the corridor outside and saw Yin Xiu standing by the corridor waiting for them, dressed in prison clothes.
"You... what are you doing outside?" The players were astonished. They had noticed Yin Xiu before entering the church, but once inside, they were overwhelmed. They thought he had been corrupted in the small room, but it turned out he had been waiting outside all along.
Yin Xiu lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd in front of him. He spoke in a soft, low voice, slightly sleepy, with a sticky tone, "You're out? If you're out, let's go."
"You went to sleep?" Ye Tianxuan noticed that he didn't seem very energetic, as if his whole body was full of fatigue.
"Hmm...I guess so." Yin Xiu responded softly. Before even reaching the warden's office, he drew the knife from his waist, startling all the players into turning pale.
"What! What are you going to do?!"
Yin Xiu glanced at them indifferently. "It's nothing. I'm just drawing my sword to refresh myself so I don't react too slowly later."
Player: ? ? ?
They know each word individually, so why can't they understand it when they say them together?
"Let's go." Ye Tianxuan was already used to it and waved his hand to head to the stairwell before the floors of Bliss City were scrambled.
Seeing the number of survivors in this instance, the player team marched in a large group towards the warden's chamber, and the players watching the instance from outside were also somewhat excited.
In the player-versus-player instance, the white-handed player was corrupted, but in the end, there was no infighting among the players, and Yin Xiu was not corrupted. When he arrived in front of the warden, who knows how panicked he would be.
Returning to the warden's office on the first floor, Yin Xiu recalled his last visit, when he was empty-handed and handcuffed. He was still handcuffed now, but he was no longer alone.
Full of anticipation, everyone pushed open the warden's office door and slowly walked in.
The warden's cell looked like a huge study, with bookshelves built on all four walls, and books piled up to the ceiling. The precariously stacked books on all sides were a frightening sight.
A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the center of the room, above which was a small area resembling a courtroom, with a man in a black robe standing in the center.
The master of Elysium, the warden.
He gazed arrogantly at the arrival of the crowd, much more composed than before when he had been flustered.
"As expected, you still made it this far." The warden's gaze was fixed on Yin Xiu, completely ignoring the others.
Yin Xiu stared at him indifferently, casually taking two steps forward with the knife in his hand. "I'm also looking forward to seeing you again."
Before he even got close, the warden quickly raised his hand, "Wait, according to the rules, let me judge your worth first."
Yin Xiu remained silent. Ye Tianxuan tugged at him, and he quietly took a step back. "Alright."
The warden's tense face relaxed slightly before he addressed the people below: "The lowest value of Bliss City is possession of some items obtained within Bliss City; the middle value of Bliss City is possession of the Seven Layers of Sinful Rules; and the highest value of Bliss City is possession of the Gate of Sin."
"The more sin gates you possess, the higher their value and the higher your ranking. You can leave the dungeon with peace of mind. From there on, the ranking will be determined based on what each player possesses. Prisoners ranked seventh or lower are not worthy to leave Elysium."
After the warden finished his announcement, he raised his chin and stared coldly at the players. "While I'm glad so many of you have survived, I'm afraid many of you will have to stay here with regret."
After he finished speaking, he looked expectantly at the players below, trying to see fear, panic, and despair on their faces so that he could announce the next rule: let them kill the players ranked higher than them in order to survive.
The players below merely exchanged glances, then whispered among themselves, "Seven? Are we enough?"
"That's enough, how could it not be enough? We even have four of us."
"Holy crap, it's even further ahead than I expected! No wonder it's Master Yin Xiu, he's so reliable, just like he said!"
The players gathered around Ye Tianxuan in a lively atmosphere, happy that they had found a good leader.
The warden on the platform lowered his gaze slightly.
Fourth place overall? Why? And why did they name that pale, weak guy, who didn't look like a killer at all, Yin Xiu?
Faced with the players' hushed discussions, the warden slammed his hand on the table in slight displeasure.
"Show us your proof of value!"
The next second, countless hands raised up the rule sheets in unison, each player holding seven rule sheets, neatly arranged, not one missing.
This scene has never appeared before in the entire Elysium City instance.
