Chapter 21 Helping the King of Hell to Improve His Performance
"Hurry up, let's run away!" Seeing that Yin Xiu had been standing there without moving, the newcomer pulled Yin Xiu anxiously.
Yin Xiu silently lowered his hand from the hilt of the knife.
Forget it, the copy has been changed a lot compared to before, so it’s better not to rashly kill the existence within the rules.
Let's see the situation. We can kill him sooner or later. There's no need to rush.
"Let's go." Yin Xiu restrained his murderous intent, turned around and walked straight in a certain direction.
"Where are we going?" The newcomer was stunned and subconsciously followed Yin Xiu, but he didn't know where else they could go in this fog.
Yin Xiu raised his eyes and looked around, looking for the largest house in the town.
The rules state that one can seek help from other townspeople. Although this rule is meant for their own people, it must be effective for this woman.
Seeing that all the townspeople closed their doors and refused to accept them, it can be confirmed that their houses are safe, otherwise there would be no reminder to stay indoors as much as possible during the day.
Yin Xiu noticed that the house closest to the statue was a wooden structure, two stories taller than any other in the town. It looked quite old, patched up and weathered, but still sturdy. Judging by its size and height, it seemed to be more than just a place to live.
Yin Xiu walked straight through the chaotic crowd. He looked at the closed door, then at the window with the curtains drawn, and decisively picked up a stone from the ground and pointed it at the door.
Since the townspeople don't want to help them, force them to help.
He first politely knocked on the door with a stone in his hand and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"
There was no response from inside the house, but several breathing sounds were heard behind the door.
Yin Xiu continued unmoved, "I know there's someone inside. I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, I'll break it down and get in. I'll die outside anyway, so I might as well take you with me before I die."
His voice was light and emotionless, which made the people inside shudder and their faces turned pale instantly. What kind of evil person was this who was trying to improve his performance for the King of Hell?
"You should know that if the door is broken, that woman will be able to get in, and you will die. So I hope you can open the door before I take action to ensure that it is intact. This way, we can both have the best of both worlds."
The people inside were silent, and the newcomer next to them became nervous. Would such threats really work? Could they really operate like this?
"If you don't respond, I'm going to break down the door."
"Three..." Yin Xiu stared at the door and counted down quietly, "Two..."
"one!"
As the countdown ended, he suddenly raised his hand, raised the stone in his hand, and slammed it hard on the door panel with a bang. It was so heavy that the whole door panel was shaking.
Then, Yin Xiu raised the stone again, ready for the second strike.
"Wait! Stop smashing it!" The people inside realized that he was really going to do it, that he really didn't care about their lives, and hurriedly opened the door in panic, "Come in, come in!"
"Thank you." Yin Xiu nodded politely, put down the stone in his hand, and went into the house.
The newlyweds quickly followed him into the house.
The people in the inner room tried to close the door, but were stopped by Yin Xiu.
He said coldly, "Your house is quite big. Do you mind if I bring two more people?"
The people in the room turned pale and did not dare to refuse.
The players not far away saw them enter the house and rushed over frantically, their faces pale as they squeezed into the house, "Please, let me go in and hide for a while!"
Once this door is opened, players who want to survive will pour in continuously. Almost all the players near Yin Xiu noticed that the door was open and immediately ran over to get into the house, including Wang Guang and Zhang Si who reacted quickly.
"Nine……"
The countdown for the woman's death was approaching the edge, and more and more players rushed towards the big house, but they were slow to react. By the time they realized it, it was already too late, and they could only try their best to get closer to the house with panic expressions.
"Help me! Wait a moment!"
The player had a sad face and seeing that the distance was almost too late, he could only shout for help.
The last person to enter the house before him was Wang Guang. He barely made it into the house, panting. When he heard the sound, he wanted to turn back and help, but a woman's voice sounded in the distance.
"ten!"
As the woman giggled and counted, Wang Guang closed the door without hesitation, locked it, and stopped people from coming in.
"I'm coming to find you." The woman's figure moved quickly in the white fog.
The player who hurriedly ran towards the big room was torn apart by a pair of huge hands in an instant, his head and body were separated, and blood-red color gushed out, dyeing the fog red, which was extremely horrifying.
"Ah!!" The players in the house screamed in terror, but what was even more terrifying was the horrific sound outside the door.
The fog was so thick that the players in the room couldn't see what was happening outside, but just by listening to the screams and the outlines of people falling down, they knew it was a massacre.
Those who survived were frightened and relieved that they had entered the house in time. If they had been a little later, they would probably have been lying on the ground and turned into meat paste.
There were constant noises outside, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely solemn. Most of the players were newcomers, seeing such a scene for the first time, and all of them were pale and a little collapsed.
Wang Guang and Zhang Si were both shocked and in danger. They didn't expect that this copy would become so cruel now. It was completely different from when they passed it before. If they had known earlier, they would have been more cautious.
"Well... a dungeon is full of danger and death. If you're not careful, you'll die instantly. You already knew that before you came in, but it's normal to be scared when you see such a scene. Everyone, take it easy." Wang Guang took the lead in trying to ease the tense atmosphere in the room without mentioning a word about what he had just said to the players.
Now almost all the players have pale faces and dare not look out the window. They are terrified and have no time to worry about the death of others. Some people huddled in the corner with their heads in their hands, shivering, listening to the constant sounds outside, and are on the verge of collapse.
At a glance, the entire group was in disarray.
"Alas." Wang Guang shook his head. "This batch of newcomers is really incompetent. They deserve to die."
When he turned around, he found that the newcomer in the corner was glaring at him. Standing next to him was the man who had a low presence before. Because he was the only one with a knife hanging around his waist, he was particularly different, so Wang Guang remembered him.
At this moment, among the decadent players in the hall, only that man was looking up at the paintings on the wall, without any sense of decadence like the other players.
There are only two special things about the newcomers. One is hostile to him and disobeys discipline, and the other has never even looked at him straight in the eye.
In the chaos just now, he didn't know who opened the door first, but he didn't help much and finally locked the person outside. Now he was afraid that as a leader he would lose his prestige and would not be able to unite this group of newcomers. He would have to choose someone to discipline and make an example of him to scare the monkeys before they would obey him again.
"You!" Wang Guang raised his hand and pointed at the newcomer who had been staring at him. "Why are you staring at me? Is this how you treat the captain?!"
The newcomer snorted coldly. He was the first person to leave the team, but now he was rebellious. He was already very dissatisfied with being scolded by this person before, and now he dared to make fun of him. He immediately glared back, "What's wrong with glaring at you? You locked out the players who almost survived, and you have the nerve to call yourself the leader? You are useless. You ran faster than anyone else!"
"The woman had already started to act. Why didn't I close the door and wait for her to come in and kill you all? You talk as if you are useful. In the dungeon, newcomers like you who don't take the words of old players seriously are the first to die!" Wang Guang pointed at the newcomer angrily, feeling particularly unhappy about being provoked.
"Then am I not living well? Compared to you who is the leader and acts so arrogantly, I am not as good as the person who opens the door next to me!" The newcomer suddenly pointed his finger at Yin Xiu who was quietly looking at the painting on the side.
Everyone's eyes fell on Yin Xiu. Was he the one who opened the door?
Yin Xiu withdrew his gaze from the painting, pressed back the finger pointed at him by the newcomer, and said coldly, "I'll go look somewhere else."
After saying this, he walked away from the crowd and went to a quiet corner as if it had nothing to do with him, not wanting to get involved in the argument.
Wang Guang was silent for a moment. He hadn't expected Yin Xiu to open the door. He said stubbornly, "He's a newcomer. He was just lucky. How can he have as much experience as me? If you follow him this time, he'll take you all to death next time!"
Wang Guang's harsh words are very intimidating to the novice players who are now afraid of death.
They would certainly trust veteran players more than new players whose strength was unclear. Although Wang Guang was a bit ruthless at critical moments, Yin Xiu didn't seem to have any intention of participating in this dispute to compete for the leader's position. Wang Guang was very arrogant.
The newcomer was so angry that he gritted his teeth and could only turn around and go to Yin Xiu, not intending to argue with Wang Guang.
The screams outside the door gradually disappeared, and the woman's giggling also stopped after the player died. The white mist dissipated, which almost meant that all the players outside were dead and the massacre was over.
The room was silent and the atmosphere was tense. Even though it was over, no one wanted to leave.
At this moment, a figure slowly walked down from the second floor...
