Chapter 53: Raising a good seedling

"Why is he going to the bathroom? Is he going there to get killed?! It's a dead end in there!"

"Oh, I just finished praising him for being clever, but then this move completely stumped me. Is he doomed?"

"What a shame."

The barrage of comments was filled with regret, and then the scene paused. The waiter who was originally running at full speed to catch up with Zhong Mu stopped the moment he entered the men's restroom, and stood at the door without going in.

Zhong Mu hid safely in the toilet cubicle, but the waiter at the door was slow to come in.

"Why didn't she go in after him? I don't believe that spooks still follow the rules of the men's and women's restrooms. If you follow the rules like that, you're not a spook!"

"It shouldn't be. I'm afraid there are other reasons."

"Ah...wait, isn't that the fourth rule of the hostel? The restroom is at the end of the corridor. If possible, try to go with someone accompanying you. You can go alone, but don't pay attention to any noise."

"I was wondering, if someone went to the restroom alone at night and died on the way, would the person left behind in the room trigger the first rule? But then I thought, since the rules say that people can go alone, then when a single person goes to the restroom, the room ignores the first rule of double occupancy, right?"

"Your analysis seems to make sense, so this newcomer... intends to stay in the bathroom all night using the fourth rule???"

“It’s not impossible.”

“6.”

"He's bold but careful. He's worthy of being the one who saw at a glance that Yin Xiu is a big shot. He's a good seedling. Let's raise him."

"It's a pity that he's not from our town, otherwise he would definitely be raised."

"That's not easy. When the dungeon ends, players can see the barrage. Then they can change towns and steal or cheat! They can definitely trick them!"

“666.”

"...I remember someone said he was dead before?"

"Haha, it's definitely not me."

Zhong Mu successfully got around the ambiguous part of the rules and hid in the restroom, but the waiter was guarding the door and had no intention of leaving, which meant that he couldn't get out before dawn, and naturally couldn't notify Yin Xiu.

"I hope the little girl is okay..." Zhong Mu stuck his head out of the cubicle in confusion, trying to look outside. Then he made a deep eye contact with the waiter at the door. Faced with the waiter's gritted teeth and angry stare, he silently shrank back.

I couldn't go out and inform Yin Xiu in time, so I could only leave it to fate.

Although it was easy for something to happen if the little girl went to see the mayor, considering that she was a weird person herself, it was unlikely that she would die. What made Zhong Mu even more panicked now was Yin Xiu.

After spending these two days together, he could feel that Yin Xiu was very nice to this strange little girl, and his outward indifference could not hide a hint of hidden tenderness, which was obviously an emotion that came from valuing her existence.

So, what would Yin Xiu do if something happened to the little girl?

Thinking of the murderous intent that Yin Xiu revealed when the little girl was kidnapped by Wang Guang last time, it was so terrifying that it made people tremble.

He was a person who had been cold and aloof since they met, and who was too lazy to get angry in the face of the players' neglect and ridicule. But at that time, he took the initiative to pick up a knife and charged into the group of monsters, killing them until the monsters were afraid and the mayor appeared to stop them. He was covered in blood and was so cold that even Zhong Mu was scared.

At that moment, the aura of Yin Xiu was completely different from his usual coldness. He was filled with more hostility and murderous intent, as if his hands were stained with countless blood.

Zhong Mu frowned, sighed, and was a little panicked. The players were okay... but it was hard to say about the monsters.

Late at night, noisy voices were heard in the square outside the town, which seemed to be from the townspeople.

Faint light flickered in the dark square, illuminating the crowd in the night. The distorted faces gathered together at this moment, and each of them attacked the huge monster that appeared in the center of the square with a weapon.

The sealed woman would only kill people during the day or when she violated the sacrifice, but she had no power after nightfall, so the townspeople could naturally walk around outside without restraint.

At this moment, a huge monster appeared out of nowhere in the square. It roared and rushed towards the crowd, slapping them away with one palm. Its twisted mouth tore and bit the bodies of the townspeople, and it slammed them to the ground and crushed them hard as if venting its anger.

The townspeople's eyes also turned bloodshot, and they rushed forward hysterically with knives in hand. Whenever they got a chance, they would hack at the monster. Each knife cut into the flesh, leaving bloody wounds on the hairy body.

The monster roared in pain and fought back even harder.

Both sides attacked each other like crazy. One side was weak but very aggressive, while the other side attacked in groups, circling around and slowly consuming her strength.

The other players who had heard the conversation between the little girl and the woman in the corridor were a little confused after seeing the fierce confrontation in the square. Why were the monsters in the dungeon fighting each other?

"That little girl has completely transformed into a monster. I was saying that the monster corpse mentioned in the clearance rules was her!"

"Come to think of it, Mom's note is complete except for leaving town at night, right?"

"Yes, and leaving the town doesn't mean dead or alive. Even if a corpse leaves the town, it still counts as leaving."

"Does that mean it doesn't matter if the little girl dies now? Because the rules that required her have been fulfilled."

"It's like this, she's no longer of any value to us, she's just a threat."

"Then once the townspeople kill her, we can go pick up the spoils. If she's the monster corpse mentioned in the clearance rules, we'll be able to clear this dungeon easily!"

"Even if the corpse referred to in the rules isn't a little girl, we can still give it a try. If she dies, we'll have one less threat. No matter what, her death will only benefit us."

"Hahaha yes, I hope the townspeople kill her quickly!"

A group of people who were just there to watch the fun didn't even want to sleep. They kept leaning against the window, watching them kill each other, waiting for the final outcome.

The monsterized little girl kept howling and fighting back furiously. After being injured and bleeding continuously, her physical strength became weaker and weaker, and her movements became slower and slower. Even the townspeople began to gradually gain the upper hand.

The fight lasted for several hours. During this time, the little girl tore countless townspeople to pieces, but her body was covered with scars, and even bones were exposed in the torn flesh. She wailed in pain while fighting back.

The players leaned on the windowsill and cheered for the townspeople.

"Yaya..." Zhong Mu worriedly poked his head out from the cubicle. He couldn't see the direction of the square from his position, and could only hear screams and the little girl's wails coming from there.

The low, hoarse roar of the monster even sounded like crying to him.
