Chapter 22 Tamed
He was a middle-aged man, with an upright figure and steady steps. His face was full of strong features, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he had a fine stubble on his face, it added a bit of masculine charm. He smiled amiably and clapped his hands, "Oh, so many outsiders are visiting our tomb town today. It's an honor."
The players instantly became alert to this strange man.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I am the mayor of this town. I am here to welcome you all on behalf of this town." The mayor explained quickly, calming the tense atmosphere among the crowd.
"This is my house. I usually use it to entertain guests. Since everyone's here, why don't you just stay here?" The mayor kindly reminded, "I think some of you don't want to go out right now..."
When the players heard that they could stay here, their eyes lit up instantly as they didn't want to go out or go back.
"Is it really possible?" Zhang Si asked immediately. He didn't really want to go out now.
"Of course, we're guests. I'll have someone arrange rooms for everyone to stay in. As long as everyone abides by the rules of this house, it's completely safe here." The mayor mentioned the rules, which meant that this was also one of the places players had to deal with. Being able to stay here now was just a coincidence.
"Okay, okay, as long as we can stay here." Wang Guang nodded happily. He didn't want to go back and forth between the little girl's house and the town every day. There were too many players and many uncontrollable factors. It would be better if they could find a safe place in the town. In case the same situation happened again, they could just run here directly.
"Now that I've arranged for everyone to stay, I'll get back to my work. The rules that need to be followed in this house are posted on the pillars in the lobby. Everyone should definitely take a look at them." The mayor turned around with a smile, preparing to go upstairs again and leave.
The moment he turned around, he suddenly caught sight of Yin Xiu in the corner.
That person was different from the other vigilant players. He completely ignored his presence and stood motionless in the corner, staring at the painting on the wall, like a cold and beautiful sculpture.
That pale face was outlined by the hazy light filtering through the window, and the whole person was shrouded in a halo, quiet and beautiful, yet lifeless. He stood there like a painting, gloomy, dangerous, and extremely attractive.
There was a flash of restlessness in the mayor's eyes for a moment, and then he saw Yin Xiu turned his head and looked at him. Although his eyes were calm and without any emotion, he did react defensively to his gaze.
The mayor smiled apologetically and hurried upstairs, muttering, "So it's alive."
Yin Xiu stared at the man's leaving figure, his eyes thoughtful.
"Boss, my name is Zhong Mu, what's your name?" After settling down, the newcomer quickly started a conversation with Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu responded calmly, "Yin Xiu."
"Oh~ I think you look like you're alone." Zhong Mu rubbed his hands meaningfully. "Where's your roommate? Is he dead?"
"No." Yin Xiu replied lazily, "I left him with the little girl."
Zhong Mu was stunned. "You left him alone with that little girl in the room?"
"Um."
Zhong Mu's scalp tingled. "Then your roommate must be terrified. How miserable."
Yin Xiu:?
Being reminded of this, Yin Xiu suddenly remembered the real purpose of today, and turned to look at Wang Guang who was holding his mother's package, "I have to go back and give the package to the little girl, and then we'll see what to do next."
Everyone realized belatedly that they still had to go back to see the little girl.
"Um... we really have to go back..." Zhang Si looked at the others in confusion. Now almost all the players did not want to leave this safe area, and no one was willing to go back.
When Wang Guang saw that everyone was reluctant and it was time to demonstrate his role as a leader, he immediately stood up.
"I don't think everyone needs to go back. Send the packages back first and see what to do in the next stage, then send someone back to inform others. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to go back in such a large group." Wang Guang didn't want to take these people who were holding them back with him, so he quickly suggested.
Most of the newlyweds no longer wanted to go out, so they gave up the option of going back.
Wang Guang, who was holding the package, had to go back. As one of the leaders, Zhang Si had to stay to take care of the new players, otherwise they would be anxious without the old players around.
Since Yin Xiu wanted to go back, Zhong Mu followed him, and no one else thought of going back.
In the end, Wang Guang, Yin Xiu and Zhong Mu went back together.
"How come you two are not afraid of death?" Wang Guang didn't like these two people very much and didn't want to go back with them, but it was indeed a bit dangerous to go back alone. If it really didn't work out, he could still sell someone else to protect himself at the critical moment.
Zhong Mu snorted and had no good impression of Wang Guang. Yin Xiu, as always, did not want to get involved in the dispute and ignored Wang Guang's words. This indifference seemed very arrogant to Wang Guang, which made him unhappy.
The three of them opened the door and left the mayor's house. As soon as they went out, everyone immediately closed the door, fearing that there would be any further mistakes.
The fog had dissipated and the woman was gone.
The town square was silent. There was no blood, no corpses, and no unnecessary traces. The dim light enveloped the entire town, harmonious and peaceful, as if the noise just now did not exist, and the group of missing players had never appeared in the dungeon in the first place.
"It's really hell." Wang Guang shivered and felt a little scared.
The three of them followed the same route back to the bungalow area where the little girl was.
After triggering the receiving of the mother's package, the little girls in all the players' rooms became one, and she was staying in Yin Xiu's room.
As soon as she heard footsteps in the distance, the little girl quickly opened the curtains and leaned against the window, pointing excitedly, "He's back! It's my brother who's back!"
When the little girl's bright and cheerful voice rang out in the room, Wang Guang almost didn't recognize her for a moment. This sweet and crisp voice was different from the extremely vicious little girl in his room.
Then Yin Xiu opened the door, revealing a sweet and lovely little girl in the room. Wang Guang and Zhong Mu were stunned and quickly turned to look at other rooms, fearing that they had missed the real little girl.
The little girl happily threw herself into Yin Xiu's arms and acted coquettishly, "Brother, you're finally back! I was so worried about you!"
"Yin Xiu...is this your roommate?" Zhong Mu didn't want to admit that this lovely sister was the cruel little girl.
"No, my roommate is inside." Yin Xiu pointed coldly into the house.
Zhong Mu immediately looked into the room and saw the man in the black suit, who exuded a strange aura, turning his head and looking at him with a smile. The abrupt turn of his head made Zhong Mu shiver.
This person looks more like a copy monster than a little girl!
"Brother, where is mom's package?" The little girl rubbed Yin Xiu and reminded him.
Wang Guang, who was in a daze, quickly handed over the dirty bag in his hand, "Here, here."
"Why is it so dirty!" The little girl was stunned when she saw the bag. Her voice suddenly became sharp and her pupils constricted. "Did you dirty the package my mother gave me?!"
"No, no, that's not it!" Wang Guang shuddered with fear. This familiar moody feeling, it turned out to be that little girl who was moody every day in his room. He was afraid that something strange was going to happen again.
"If you dare to lie, I will eat you!" the little girl shouted angrily, but before she could finish her words, Yin Xiu patted her on the head.
"It was this dirty when I found it. Let's take a look inside first."
"Oh." The little girl immediately became obedient, opened the bag and took out a note from it.
Before she could even read what was on the note, Yin Xiu next to her snatched it away.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Guang suddenly realized that there was a note inside, which might be the second note with rules. If the little girl had seen it just now, it would have violated the rules. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.
The reaction was obvious, but the little girl...
"Brother, what are you doing? I haven't even looked at it yet." The little girl muttered and pouted. She finally got the thing her mother left for her, but it was snatched away before she even had a chance to look at it.
Wouldn't you be angry no matter what I say?
Wang Guang's eyes became gloating, waiting to see the little girl's changes.
