Chapter 37: I'm Really Not the Final Boss of the Horror Game

Bai You waved her hand in front of Li Mingming, feigning ignorance, "Did you hear me?"

Li Mingming then came to her senses.

She immediately gave Baiyou the battery she had accidentally found earlier.

Baiyou seemed quite satisfied, and left the server room after changing the battery.

After Bai You left, Li Mingming immediately squatted down to retrieve the items from the safe.

This thing is a beautiful piece of cloth, and something is wrapped inside.

Li Mingming carefully opened it.

An exquisite gold bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, and a note came into view.

The note read: "A man wants to marry me. He gave me a gold bracelet and a pair of gold earrings. But I know he doesn't really want to marry me. I overheard their conversation; they said that simply committing torture and murder is unoriginal and won't get them any rewards. A blood-red wedding theme is a great idea. There's still a week until the wedding, and I think I'll be killed in a week. Will anyone come to save me?"

After reading the note, Li Mingming took a deep breath.

Isn't this a plot she set up for Li Gui?

She actually obtained a small clue belonging to Li Gui!

Li Mingming repackaged the items and left the computer room with them.

After reuniting with everyone, Li Mingming shared the news with them without hesitation.

Wang Rou and Lao Yang were very excited, but Xu Wen's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing their joy.

"This only proves that Li Gui had such a tragic experience before her death, and it has no absolute connection with the clues for passing the level. If we all encounter her tonight, will such a clue help us save our lives?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Mingming suggested a different approach: "All the monsters here can communicate with players. If we present this clue and tell Li Gui that we're not the murderer, maybe she'll let us go. At least we should be safe tonight!"

Xu Wen shrugged upon hearing this and said nothing.

Old Yang neither agrees with nor agrees with Li Mingming's point of view.

In his mind, if Li Gui were as easy to talk to as Li Mingming predicted, she wouldn't have become the BOSS among all the monsters!

Seeing through Lao Yang's thoughts, Xu Wen walked up to him and said, seemingly invitingly, "Shall we keep watch tonight? Let these two ladies get a good night's sleep?"

Old Yang was a kind-hearted man with a strong sense of justice, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

After searching the amusement park for a while, the group set off with Xu Wen to the "refuge" he had found.

As the figures of the group gradually disappeared into the distance, Bai You turned off the carousel.

The two little children pouted, looking somewhat disgruntled.

One of the little children said, "Sister, I have to work tonight, can't you let me play a little longer?"

Bai You patted the little baby's head and said softly with a smile, "You'll come with me tonight, but don't hurt anyone, okay?"

The little child shook his head resolutely, "No! They're all bad guys!! They were so cruel to me! They broke my legs, gouged out my eyes, and then boiled me! I'm not going to let them get away with this so easily!"

Bai You gently touched the little baby's face and patiently said, "But some people haven't hurt you. Even if these people haven't hurt you, would you still do this?"

The little baby blinked, looking confused.

Another little child spoke up: "Sister, don't let those people blind you! Have you forgotten what the big boss told me when we came here?"

According to Li Mingming's original article, everyone involved in this game, whether player or monster, has a deep connection. Their gathering is arranged by a ruler of all living beings, the "big boss" mentioned by the little child.

However, Li Mingming provides very little description of the underworld, only mentioning it briefly.

After the bug, not only were there innocent players, but the monsters also retained the original Li Mingming setting.

They stubbornly believe that all players participating in the game are criminals who slaughtered them.

Bai You looked at the two little children and stopped arguing. Instead, she changed her approach and said, "Among these players, there is a criminal who is even more vicious than the one who killed you. Do you want to punish him?"

The two little children said indignantly, "We will not let any criminal go unpunished!"

Bai You smiled without saying anything more. She touched the two little children's faces, looked up at the sky that seemed to be darkening, and her eyes sparkled...

Li Mingming and Wang Rou were arranged by Xu Wen to go into the dark room, while Lao Yang and Xu Wen guarded outside the dark room.

Xu Wen handed a chicken leg to Lao Yang, as if to reward him, saying, "Thank you for keeping watch with me tonight."

Old Yang took the chicken leg and said righteously, "We men have to protect women! What's the big deal?"

As he spoke, Old Yang took a bite of his chicken leg and asked with a hint of doubt, "Why do you always like to act alone? We're all very worried that something might happen to you."

Xu Wen smiled, adjusted his glasses, and said with a refined and righteous air, "At first, when we were all together, we were like headless flies when faced with the monster's attack. Although everyone trusted me, I didn't want everyone to be helpless when night fell. That's why I sometimes acted alone. I did this to find resources and safe havens for everyone."

Old Yang gave Xu Wen a thumbs up, "Sir, you are truly righteous!"

Xu Wen smiled but didn't say anything, but his eyes grew even more profound in the gradually darkening sky.

Before long, it got completely dark.

The house was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Old Yang felt the house was eerily quiet and couldn't help but shiver.

Just then, Xu Wen suddenly patted him on the shoulder, startling Old Yang.

Xu Wen seemed to be reassuring Old Yang, saying, "Don't be afraid, it's safe here. I suddenly remembered there are some supplies on the first floor, I'll go get them."

Old Yang picked up the hammer beside him and hurriedly said, "I'll go with you!"

Xu Wen naturally wouldn't let Lao Yang go with him. He said slowly and logically, "I'll be back soon. Besides, if we all leave, who will look after them? We can't put women in danger, right?"

Old Yang rolled his eyes and thought Xu Wen's words made a lot of sense, so he didn't insist any further.

However, he still let Xu Wen take the hammer he used for self-defense.

The blood moon hung high, illuminating everything with an eerie and ever-changing light.

With the appearance of the blood moon, Baiyou transformed into a terrifying and monstrous form, her gaping maw seemingly ready to devour her chosen prey!

Screams rang out one after another as players who failed to find the items became the victims of the monsters!

The stench of blood grew stronger and stronger in the air...

Bai You stared expressionlessly at the horrified look on the executioner's face, who had killed a monster, after he died at the monster's hands.

She stepped over his corpse and walked toward where Li Mingming and the others were hiding.
