Chapter 29 It's a py transaction, brothers.

The person who was reminded turned his head in horror and paid attention to the painting on the wall.

Among the paintings with closed eyes, one can briefly glimpse a person with open eyes, and the direction of the gaze is indeed in the direction of Yin Xiu.

"Hiss... Better stay away from him... Nothing good will happen if you follow him."

"It's absolutely right to listen to Boss Zhang Si. Just don't get close to him!"

The player trembled and quickly cleaned up his dishes and went aside.

Yin Xiu was unconsciously isolated by the player group again.

This result silenced the comments, "Why is Yin Xiu so unsociable everywhere?"

"Stop talking nonsense, it was Yin Xiu who isolated them."

"Although I can understand it, it's really infuriating to watch from a God's perspective. I'm just waiting for them to discover that useless Zhang Si is the real loser."

"Hahaha, I'm waiting too. Yin Xiu has a good temper. If anyone were to target me like this, I would give them two big slaps."

"I bet Yin Xiu holds a grudge."

"bet!"

After dinner, the players went back to their houses and followed the rules honestly. After all, the conditions for passing the level were to protect the little girl, complete the task, and inexplicably place the corpse on the altar. Now they should not wander around if they have nothing to do, as it is easy to break the rules.

After Yin Xiu brought the little girl back to the house, he wandered outside alone to check the structure of the house.

He remembered the rules mentioned a basement, so he searched around and finally found a secret door in the first-floor lobby. It was under the stairs, not too hidden, but it would be hard to miss if you weren't looking for it. This was probably the entrance to the basement.

There are many portraits hanging on the wall near the entrance, densely packed, almost covering the entire wall. Countless eyes have been focused on Yin Xiu since he appeared here, and they are hard to get rid of. But if you look up, you will see countless beautiful and delicate faces in large and small frames.

When faces appear on a wall, all with the same expression, it's inevitably a bit creepy.

Yin Xiu stopped staring at the painting. He turned around and touched the gap in the wall. He pushed it lightly and tentatively. The door sank in easily. There was no lock at all.

Whether or not to go to the basement depends entirely on the player's awareness.

When the rules say not to go to the basement and there is no defense in such a dangerous place, this place is 100% dangerous and you may encounter something unexpected once you step in.

Now is not the time to go in and explore.

Yin Xiu let go of his hand, took a step back and prepared to leave.

As he turned around, he heard a small sound of something falling behind him. When he looked back, he found that a painting hanging on the wall had fallen down, and there seemed to be something stuck on the back of the painting.

Yin Xiu squatted down, picked it up and examined it. It was a photo.

The photos show what the place looked like before. The new and friendly town was crowded with busy townspeople, who were all smiling and happily taking photos in the square. There was no statue of the woman in the background of the photos, nor the house they lived in now. The expressions on everyone's faces looked harmonious and happy, without any of the gloomy and tense atmosphere that existed in the town during the day.

There are even one or two slightly familiar-looking faces in the photos, and if you look up you can find the same ones in the surrounding frames.

This town full of monsters seems to have been just an ordinary town before. The changes probably happened after the statue of the woman in the square and the house they live in now appeared.

The sense of sight around him did not dissipate, and the person in the portrait did not directly invade his consciousness like before, but the aura continued to extend outward, trying to attract Yin Xiu's attention again, making him feel that his head was not very clear.

He bent down to pick up the portrait that had just fallen to the ground, and it turned out to be the man on the second floor.

The person in the portrait still has his eyes closed and looks quiet. The background of the frame is pitch black. Like other portraits, the picture is upright, but he is lying down.

Yin Xiu carefully studied the background which was pitch black but had a faint texture. What was he lying on?

The black color slightly reflects a dull light, and has some fuzzy vertical textures, indicating that it is a wooden board painted black.

After pondering for a few seconds, Yin Xiu hung the portrait back on the wall meaningfully, "It's a coffin, right?"

The man in the portrait suddenly opened his eyes and met Yin Xiu's gaze. His eyes were blue, and his oriental cheeks had a hint of mixed blood. He was handsome and pure, but at this moment there was only panic on his face. He stared at Yin Xiu and repeated over and over again what he had said in the corridor before.

"Leave, leave, leave..."

“He he he…”

Before he could finish his words, an indescribable coldness suddenly descended upon the hall, causing Yin Xiu to shiver.

A faint gaze was hanging over his head, startling Yin Xiu so much that he quickly looked up.

It's the mayor.

He appeared on the stairs at some point, leaning on the railing and looking down at Yin Xiu.

After most of the players had returned to their rooms, the entire first-floor lobby was exceptionally deserted, with only the two of them visible under the pale light.

The mayor glanced at the photo in Yin Xiu's hand, a vague smile on his face. "Are you curious about the town's past?"

"Yeah." Yin Xiu responded calmly.

"It's normal for outsiders to be interested in everything in the town, but instead of researching it yourself, it's better to ask me. I'm the mayor." The mayor said as he slowly walked down the stairs.

He stood against the light, his face immersed in shadow, his smile revealing a malicious intent. "If you're willing to join me for some tea and a chat, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask."

Yin Xiu stared at him warily, alert to his approach.

The mayor walked slowly to Yin Xiu's side, hooked his shoulder skillfully and naturally, and took the photo from his hand.

His arrival plunged the surroundings into an eerie silence. The portraits that were originally faintly noisy now all fell silent. The cold atmosphere also inexplicably made Yin Xiu's mind clearer.

The chill lingering around him reminded Yin Xiu of the monster that would break into his room at night. The similarity between the two was that the monster would drive away other abnormalities and then leave its presence next to Yin Xiu.

However, this mayor is very purposeful and has a very cold aura.

"Where are we going to talk?" Yin Xiu asked unmoved.

The mayor's eyes lit up, clearly pleased with Yin Xiu's reassurance. He immediately raised his hand and pointed outside, "There's going to be a sacrificial ceremony in the square soon. As a special favor, I can take you there to see it up close. While you're there, I'll also share some information about the town. How about that?"

This condition is quite tempting for players who need intelligence. The mayor knows exactly what the players need, and the conditions he offers are to the point.

The sacrificial ceremony is written in the rules and is of vital importance to this town. It would be best to participate in it up close.

"Am I the only one going with you?"

"Of course." The mayor narrowed his eyes and smiled, his hand hooked on Yin Xiu's shoulder silently tightening. "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't care, but you are special."

The profound meaning in his tone shocked the netizens. "What the hell is this development? Is he flirting with Yin Xiu???"

"It's a py deal, brothers! This monster wants to py Yin Xiu!"

"I noticed earlier that there was something wrong with the way he looked at Yin Xiu! He definitely wanted to take advantage of me!"

"But he put forward special conditions."

"It's so uncomfortable. We're all straight, okay? You show me this? I can't accept it!"

"I strongly request that you guys have a fight with the weirdo who sneaked into Yin Xiu's room!"

"That person has been speculated to be Yin Xiu's roommate!"

"So it's your roommate? I'm not sleepy anymore now that you're talking about this. I like this idea. Please, please have your roommate and the mayor fight. I want to see it."

"I want to see it too, hahahaha. In that case, I'll vote for the mayor. At least the mayor is good-looking."

"Hahahaha, then I'll vote for the mayor too. My roommate is nice, but he's too creepy and a bit scary. The mayor is also weird, but he's very human. He's always flirting, okay?"

"You all voted for the mayor. Be careful your roommates find out and come looking for you in the middle of the night."

"Hahahaha, this is hilarious. Come on if you can."

As the barrage of comments continued to laugh, the entire live broadcast screen suddenly flashed twice, and all the players fell silent in an instant.
