Chapter 225 Did I Win the Bet?

He sat upright in the chair and stared at the white-haired man in front of him, "Do you still know Ye Tianxuan?"

"I know him." Mu He answered lightly, turned around, fumbled for a chair and sat down, "I need to collect information from every dungeon Ye Tianxuan has visited. I'm the boss of the dungeon's secondary quest, so I must have met him before."

"That's true..." Yin Xiu thought it made sense, so he continued to ask, "You said you had a message Ye Tianxuan left me before. How did he predict that you and I would meet in the future?"

Mu He smiled, lowered his gray eyes, and said softly, "It's not a premonition. He just left a message on the path you will take in the future."

He raised a hand and pointed at himself. "I, Mu He, am the boss of the dungeon's secondary quest. You won't encounter me if you clear the dungeon normally. And for someone like you who has fought your way through the dungeon, you won't have the chance to see me. What kind of situation will it be when you see me normally one day?"

"I went to take the side quest of the dungeon..." Yin Xiu thought about it and could only give this answer. Even now, Yin Xiu did not go looking for the so-called side quest, but met Mu He in this unexpected situation.

"Yes, the God of Killing has honestly gone to the side quest. It must be for some special reason." Mu He smiled. "Ye Tianxuan mentioned you to me in the dungeon about three years ago."

"He said he felt you'd changed a lot recently, and that maybe you'd become more normal in the future. One day, you might choose to pursue a side quest for some reason. So, he left messages with the side bosses in many dungeons. You'll always meet one."

Yin Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect that this person would have time to chat and leave messages with the monsters in the dungeon after collecting information.

There is more than one left.

"If he has something to say, why not just tell me? Why leave a message..." If Yin Xiu doesn't change and continues to be the killing god he used to be for the rest of his life, won't he never hear these messages?

Mu He chuckled softly, her gray eyes dim but her smile bright. "Ye Tianxuan said that the worst-case scenario would be after his death, when you'd been changed and met me. So these messages are all written to you in the future, assuming he's already dead."

"In a sense, he guessed right, didn't he?"

Yin Xiu was speechless for two seconds, then said calmly, "Okay, tell me, what did he leave for me?"

"Don't worry." Mu He fumbled in his sleeves and found something familiar to Yin Xiu. "This is a recorder Ye Tianxuan gave me. It seems to be in all the weird places where he left messages. Maybe you can look for it slowly later."

He handed the recorder to Yin Xiu and said, "Monsters won't use this human thing, so we're responsible for keeping it and handing it over to you. I don't know what's inside."

Yin Xiu took it and turned off the recorder.

After two seconds of silence in the lobby, Ye Tianxuan's voice came from the small recorder.

"Good evening, Yin Shashen."

"Oh, it's nighttime here, so it might not be nighttime when you hear this. So, good morning, or noon, is fine too. Should I say 'Long time no see, Yin Shashen'?"

According to Mu He, this recorder was given to him by Ye Tianxuan three years ago. So, this is the recorder that Ye Tianxuan was going to give to Yin Xiu, who would receive it in who knows how many years.

It was only three years ago that Ye Tianxuan still called him Yin the Killing God.

This familiar but now forgotten name instantly reminded Yin Xiu of the person who once distributed rule sheets in the town.

"Slayer Yin, was I still alive when you received this recorder?"

"If I'm still alive, just treat me as dead and continue listening."

Yin Xiu was silent, and he had the urge to hang up the recorder. This person was always talking about life and death, and he had always been like this.

"I know you've always been careless when going through dungeons, and you've never learned about some of the side quests within the dungeon. Now that you've met Mu He, you should have already begun to understand part of the weird world, right?

"This information is some clues I left behind to help you better understand the rules of the strange world.

"Because I don't know how many years it will be since you got this recorder, and what will happen to me and the town by then. I can only hope that in the future you will take over the management of the town after I die, and update the dungeons as the strange world changes, and update some difficult dungeons for me.

"I don't think of you as a tool, I truly think of you as a good friend, so just consider this my last words! I believe your future self will be able to help! Please, God of Death, you are the great God of Death! If there is anything you can't do, save those useless people in this town, it's a piece of cake!"

Three years ago, Ye Tianxuan could still make some jokes, but now he is more calm and values ​​life more.

Yin Xiu had never noticed it before, but now he clearly realized that he had changed a little, and everything around him was changing.

"First of all, I'm going to tell you a big secret I just learned. It's the secret of the weird community. Don't let other weird people hear it!"

Yin Xiu looked at Mu He silently, and Mu He turned his head away, pretending he didn't exist.

"It's like this. I found out that players can become monsters through a monster contract, but this is not welcomed among the original monsters and is considered an outlier."

"When you receive a contract, you have two choices. One is to become a complete monster and give up being human. If you are killed, you will be reborn like a native monster. You can also gradually become a high-level monster, use monster props, and enter the dungeon customization rules. From then on, you will completely become part of the monster group and no longer be human.

"Second, even if you don't become a monster, you're still a player. Players who trade will receive special items, which can be used at a very high price. The user will have a monster contract engraved on their soul, which will remain forever and cannot be erased.

"The cigarette you saw me using before was my contract item. I traded it with a black cat monster. It seems to be a manager-like existence in the dungeon, responsible for managing everything in the dungeon, just like Queen Night is in charge of the town.

"After trading with it, I obtained the item, but the price was my life.

"The black cat believed that everyone in the dungeon was pursuing survival, and life was the most precious price. If one couldn't leave the dungeon, all the trades would be meaningless. He made a bet with me, saying that someone like me who sacrificed his life wouldn't be able to leave.

"But I don't care. I've earned it by exchanging my life for the lives of many others.

"But I still really want to know, all these years after you got this recorder, did you win my bet?"
