As they were talking, a student covered in blood suddenly rushed over and pounced on Yin Xiu's side.
He didn't say anything to Yin Xiu, but stared at his aunt through the glass window with bloodshot eyes, glaring at her angrily, "Why did you help him?"
"Aren't players and monsters enemies? Shouldn't you be beings that kill each other?"
He bared his teeth and claws, trying to climb in through the window, but Yin Xiu grabbed his collar and pulled him back, then pressed his head down and slammed it against the glass window.
With a loud thud, the impact made the student dizzy, but the pair of scarlet eyes showed no resentment towards Yin Xiu. Instead, they stared at him leisurely and said, "You can't leave this instance. No matter what, I won't let you leave."
"You don't belong to it, you belong to me."
Yin Xiu lazily grabbed his head, his expression indifferent, but his grip was fierce. He grabbed him and slammed him against the glass window again, his voice low and menacing, "You're the third weirdo to say that to me."
He lowered his cold gaze to meet those eyes, and smiled slightly, "I killed the first two."
"You won't be an exception."
Those scarlet eyes reflected Yin Xiu's appearance, making it impossible to discern the emotions within them.
Before Yin Xiu could bump into him again, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed the student away for Yin Xiu.
The man smiled and leaned closer, saying softly, "You can have your boyfriend do this."
Yin Xiu stared at him leisurely, then lowered his voice, "I'll say it again, I don't have a boyfriend."
"Okay," the man replied dismissively, ignoring the student, and then grabbed him and left.
The strange students in the cafeteria were frightened and tried to run out, but Li Mo blocked all the entrances and exits with his tentacles first. He smiled wildly, with a sinister chill, "Finally, you can disappear, you troublesome things."
He killed with great gusto, using all sorts of methods, the most common being to gnaw on the meat, chewing it haphazardly while complaining that it didn't taste good.
After he had killed them all, he returned covered in blood and his mouth was full of blood. He met Yin Xiu's slightly disgusted and narrowed eyes.
"What's wrong?" The man smiled and wiped his mouth, leaving a long trail of blood on his face, which, combined with his smile, made the scene even more horrifying.
"It's nothing," Yin Xiu said casually, while staring thoughtfully at his mouth.
It looks very much like a human, although there are some strange things about it, but the most inhuman thing about its body is probably its mouth.
Seeing Yin Xiu staring intently at his mouth, the man opened his mouth, revealing clean and neat teeth. "Don't worry about it, I can become like this."
"This is a disguised mouth, completely like a human mouth, but it's a different mouth used when gnawing on monsters."
He closed his mouth, pursed it, and then opened it again, revealing a non-human state. It was gentler than when he was biting people, with fewer dense accessory teeth and sharp teeth. His tongue was rather long and blue, making it instantly recognizable as a monster's mouth.
"This is the mouth I use to kiss you. Although you often bite it off, my tongue is longer than a human's, which is very convenient."
He pursed his lips again, and this time the mouth he revealed was a horrifying mess of blood and flesh, covered with accessory teeth. "This is the mouth we use to eat. It has a lot of teeth, which is very convenient."
Yin Xiu didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment, he could only say that it was multifunctional and convenient, and had evolved very well.
But is it really necessary to leave a special space for a kissing mouth?
"So he won't kiss you after you finish eating the monster, don't worry." The man smiled slightly, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
Yin Xiu frowned. "If you hadn't insisted on coming up to me, who would have kissed you?"
The man smiled, his expression innocent. "But I kiss you to pollute you, to correct the abnormal part of your body into a normal one."
"Contaminate me?"
Yin Xiu has once again fallen into a blind spot regarding his knowledge of the man in front of him, and this strange ability can also corrupt others; it's a bit perverted.
"Because your perception has been corrupted, I have no choice but to corrupt it back. But I don't know why… I can't corrupt the part about me back…" The man stared at him, scrutinizing him, but still couldn't figure it out.
Yin Xiu wasn't quite sure what the contamination in his mouth was, but if he thought back on the rules carefully now, he would realize that after that bite that was hardly a kiss, the rules in his mind became clearer and his consciousness became much clearer. It seemed that something mixed with blood had been swallowed at that time.
But she couldn't remember anything else, except for the man in front of her, which was a bit strange.
"Perhaps it's because of the environment within this instance," the aunt beside her said softly. "Within this instance, all knowledge about that monster will be blurred, and any information related to it will be distorted. Even if you regain your knowledge, you won't be able to correct it."
Auntie stretched her slender neck out of the window and circled around to Yin Xiu's side. "In this instance, there are two places where you can regain your senses. One is for players, since there is no instance that is completely unsolvable. The other is for monsters, which is right here with me."
Auntie smiled and squinted at Yin Xiu, "The player obtains the information about restoring cognition from the security guard. If you encounter a security guard outside of class time because you feel unwell, he will tell you to go to the infirmary, where there is medicine to restore the player's cognition."
Yin Xiu was taken aback.
Ah... he killed the security guard on the second night...
Auntie slowly pulled her head back from Yin Xiu's side. "You can also sense that the monster that controls all the students and is the core of this instance is not the same as the original monster of Deep Sea Academy, namely me, the teacher, and the security guard."
"This new dungeon, built on top of the Deep Sea Academy dungeon, only introduces one new monster, the one that has been influencing players' perceptions."
"But just this one is enough to trap countless players here, turning them into bizarre students."
Auntie sighed, "We were supposed to cooperate with it to build this challenging instance, but... that monster is hard to control, it's even affecting us."
"My sister, who is also your teacher, has already been influenced."
Yin Xiu stared straight at her, his eyes calm and steady. "So, Auntie, by helping me, you are actually helping yourself. If no one kills that monster, you and your sister will lose your self-awareness and become part of this place."
Auntie smiled, her bright red, horrifying face surprisingly kind. "Yes, Auntie has seen many players come in and all fail, but you are the only one Auntie thinks is worth the risk."
"You can't kill it 100%, and I can't escape unscathed, but if you're with me, there's a greater chance."
In a dungeon, the monster, the boss, and the player are three independent entities. The monster and the boss should have cooperated to ensure that the player had no chance of recovery, but Auntie's small act of defiance has created more possibilities for the player.
Yin Xiu immediately understood what the student who had rushed over was questioning his aunt about.
There's a traitor in the instance.
