Chapter 24 The Enthusiasm of the Townspeople
Li Mo took off his suit jacket and handed it to Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu took the coat and covered the little girl with it.
At this moment, Zhong Mu clearly saw that the expressions of the little girl and Li Mo became very subtle at the same time.
"I don't want to cover him with his clothes..." the little girl muttered, and pulled off the coat covering her body with disgust.
"Don't take it off. Your mother told you not to let people in town find you. It's very dangerous on the way to grandma's house." Yin Xiu warned gently and put the coat back on.
"Is it really necessary to cover it?" The little girl was still reluctant.
"must."
After Yin Xiu gave a positive answer, the little girl compromised.
Wang Guang's expression was complicated. This little girl was incredibly obedient to Yin Xiu. If it were someone else, clearing this dungeon wouldn't have been so easy. It seemed Zhong Mu was right. Yin Xiu was indeed a more suitable leader than him. However, if a newcomer were to lead the dungeon while he lay down beside them, he would surely be laughed at when he returned to town. That wouldn't work.
"Let's go. It's time to go back to town before it gets dark." Yin Xiu took the little girl's hand and looked up at the sky. They had to go back as soon as possible.
"I want my brother to hold me." The little girl tugged at the suit jacket covering her head. She felt unhappy no matter how she thought about it, and deliberately pulled Yin Xiu's hand and shook it coquettishly.
Li Mo's eyes darkened and fixed on the little girl. The little girl pouted and pretended not to see him and looked into the distance.
"Okay." Yin Xiu didn't think twice before reaching out and picking up the little girl, completely ignoring the cold aura emanating from Li Mo behind him.
"Let's go, let's go." Zhong Mu was sweating profusely. Fearing that this weird roommate would be angry, he hurriedly urged Yin Xiu to leave.
Yin Xiu was walking in front holding the little girl wrapped in a black coat, followed by Li Mo and Zhong Mu. Only Wang Guang was walking at the back with a complicated look on his face.
The few of them returned smoothly to the entrance of the town.
When I came here before, there was only sight on both sides and it was very quiet, but this time it was very different.
From the moment the little girl entered the town, the atmosphere suddenly grew chilly, even the afternoon sun dimming in an instant. The creaking sounds of doors opening echoed from both sides, and gazes and figures emerged from the doors simultaneously, seemingly drawn to them.
"What, what happened?" Zhong Mu looked around in panic, staring at the residents of the towns on both sides vigilantly, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
Many townspeople who were reluctant to open their doors before now opened them enthusiastically. They smiled and waved to Yin Xiu and others, and sinister voices rang out one after another.
"Young man, it's very dangerous outside during the day. Come and sit in my room."
"Are you tired? You must be exhausted from walking around outside. Come to my room and take a rest."
"There haven't been any visitors to this town for a while. Would you like to come sit in my room for a while? I'll prepare some delicious food for you. Come on."
They all stood at the door and waved at them with enthusiastic smiles. The parts in the shadows looked like normal people's faces, smiling very gently, but a small part of some people was exposed to the sun, revealing that they were not human.
Their skin was covered with dense black hair, and their pupils became extremely sharp, making them look as terrifying as wild beasts. Even so, they seemed unaware of it and still waved at them with a smile, "Come into my room, come on."
The sound of calling filled the streets of the town, like a tide rolling in from both sides. People's gazes stuck to them like a chill, constantly waving at them and slowly approaching.
When one person waves to you, it may be enthusiastic, but when there are a row of houses on both sides and countless people trying to call you into the room, the scene becomes particularly weird, not to mention that some of them are not human.
Zhong Mu shuddered, too frightened by the bizarre scene to dare move on. He immediately squeezed to Yin Xiu's side and trembled, "Are the townspeople in this town inhuman?"
"Yeah." Yin Xiu responded, ignored those people and continued walking forward.
After all, the foreground summary at the beginning of the copy said that the little girl and her mother moved to the monster town where her grandmother lived. Even if all the people here suddenly turned into monsters, he would not find it strange.
"Come on, come to my room, why don't you come?"
"Come here, come here quickly!"
"I will give you delicious food and drinks, and I will never do anything dangerous to you."
"Yes, I will treat you well, come on."
"Hahaha... If you guys didn't come, I would have gone..."
As they moved forward indifferently, the noises on both sides became more and more frantic. Those people seemed to be unable to contain themselves and took two steps forward from the door. Their entire bodies were instantly exposed to the sunlight, and their appearances were no longer human. They turned into monsters covered with black hair, waving their sharp claws at them, tempting them.
The scene changed from the eerie townspeople greeting them to the monsters greeting them. The densely packed heads and the voices constantly calling out to them slowly overlapped and moved forward, gradually crawling from the doors of the houses to the road, overwhelming and blocking their way.
In the black crowd, faces were crowded and voices were floating.
"Come...come with me."
"Come to my house, come to my house."
"Give her to me, give her to me, give her to me..."
Dense mumblings drifted faintly on the silent road. The overlapping sounds were even a little disturbing, making people feel dazed for a moment.
Yin Xiu stopped and protected the little girl without moving forward. His eyes became cold and he stared at the monster townspeople who blocked his way thoughtfully.
There are so many townspeople in the town, killing one or two shouldn't affect the rules, right?
He moved the little girl to his left hand and held her in his right hand silently covering the hilt of the knife.
"Brother... I'm scared..." The little girl in his arms said tremblingly, and the trembling voice made Yin Xiu's hand holding the hilt of the knife become more determined.
"Don't be afraid, brother will protect you."
"Give her to me...give her to me..."
"Come to my house...come and die in my house..."
"How pitiful! You are about to die."
"Hahahaha... Outsiders, outsiders who break the rules, you will die sooner or later..."
The voices were crying and occasionally crazy, and the faces gradually became distorted and crazy. The dense black hands approached them little by little, and the encirclement became smaller and smaller, with no way to escape.
"What should we do? We've been stopped?" Zhong Mu trembled as he stuck behind Yin Xiu, feeling a little panicked. After all, the rules stated that one should not go to any monster's house on the way, but now they were stopped and they couldn't leave even if they didn't go.
"Fight your way out?" Wang Guang's voice trembled. He was a little panicked and didn't think he could fight his way out.
If it really doesn't work, he can just snatch the little girl and run away at the critical moment... After all, he has passed two dungeons and has self-protection props on him. It doesn't matter if he leaves these troublesome people here to die. Anyway, the little girl will not affect the progress of the dungeon. He can just run away with the little girl!
Thinking of this, he immediately locked his eyes on Yin Xiu.
"Who will kill them? You come and kill them. It's so easy to say." Zhong Mu rolled his eyes at him. Even if someone could kill the monsters, they wouldn't be able to deal with so many of them. These were the residents of the entire town.
The players on the screen were panicking, but the players in the town outside the screen were rubbing their hands excitedly, full of anticipation.
"Is it finally time for Yin Xiu to take action? I've been waiting for a long time!"
"I'm really looking forward to it! I've only seen him fight a monster once, and he was so handsome that it gave me the shivers, guys!"
"Now that you say that, I'm really looking forward to it. If it were someone else in this situation, they would definitely be wiped out, but with Yin Xiu here, I feel at ease!"
"I feel very reassured about Yin Xiu, but I'm a little worried about the guy next to him named Wang Guang."
"You saw it too. He seemed to be groping in his pocket just now."
"I hope this Ruizhi will behave himself and stop holding Yin Xiu back!"
The monsters kept advancing and howling, and the dense black figures were approaching them from all directions like a tide.
"Brother..." The little girl in his arms hugged Yin Xiu's neck in panic, a little scared.
He was not afraid for more than a few seconds before Li Mo silently pushed him down by the head.
"Don't be afraid." Yin Xiu didn't notice Li Mo's little movements, and whispered to comfort him. Looking at the group of monsters approaching, he tightly gripped the hilt of the knife.
Amidst the overwhelming roars of monsters, they watched them approaching with increasing anxiety. Wang Guang shivered, glancing at the little girl in Yin Xiu's arms. Should they just grab the little girl and run? They would die in the monster swarm anyway.
The situation is urgent and the tension is on the verge of breaking out.
The moment the monster in the front came forward, Yin Xiu, who was standing still, took a half step back, his eyes darkened slightly, and in an instant he drew the knife from his waist.
