Chapter 4 Entering the Dungeon
It was obvious that the man beside the bed also noticed the sound, and he moved his eyes to the window.
“Dongdong——”
The knock on the window sounded again, and outside the door came the extremely strange and low voice of Ye Niangniang, "Yin Xiu, open the door."
Yin Xiu heard the man next to him stand up and start walking towards the door.
"Who are you?" he asked standing at the door.
"Who are you?" Empress Ye was very surprised. She had never seen anyone else in Yin Xiu's house.
But after a few seconds of silence, she put on a kind smile and said, "Open the door for me, and you'll know who I am."
The man thought for a moment, then grasped the door handle.
He's not really going to open the door, is he?!
Yin Xiu instinctively tightened his grip on the knife tied to his waist and began to struggle against the inexplicable drowsiness, trying to open his eyes.
Accompanied by a hoarse "creak" sound of the door opening, a night wind suddenly swept into the entire room, and the coldness instantly made Yin Xiu completely sober.
He rolled off the bed and looked towards the door.
The door is already open.
The man in the black suit, soaked all over, was smiling as he held the door handle and looked back at Yin Xiu, pointing outside the door with a smile, "Are you awake? Look, there's a huge face outside."
What you see outside the open door is not the alley at night, but the face of Queen Night filling the entire gap of the door.
She smiled strangely, blinking her eyes as she looked at Yin Xiu in the room through the crack in the door. Her eyes narrowed, and her pale cheeks revealed true joy.
Yin Xiu then tightened his grip on the knife hanging from his waist, "...Yeah, what a shame."
He didn't react much, his eyes moving from Lady Ye to the man who opened the door, "Why did you open the door for her? Are you together?"
The man was puzzled, but his smile remained unchanged. "Can't it be opened?"
"I asked you to read the rules, but you didn't?"
The man smiled and nodded, "I looked, but there's nothing on the paper."
Yin Xiu understood instantly. This man couldn't see the rules. He didn't even know that the door couldn't be opened at night. He was not a traitor sent in by Empress Ye.
"As your roommate, let me tell you something." Yin Xiu calmly and slowly drew a long, sharp Miao Dao from his waist. "In this small town, you absolutely cannot open your door at night, otherwise..."
"otherwise?"
The moment the words fell, the blade flashed with cold light, cutting off a strand of long hair that had crawled into the house. Almost at the same time, Empress Ye's hand suddenly reached out from the door and slapped where Yin Xiu was.
A loud clang echoed through the room, sending parts scattering. The thin bed was easily flattened by the palm of his hand, and cracks spread across the floor. Almost everything in the room was knocked over and scattered. Standing in this earthquake-like area, Yin Xiu clung to the corner of the wall, narrowly avoiding the blow.
Through the window, Empress Ye stared at Yin Xiu, who had escaped the disaster, with a smile on her face. She bared her sharp teeth and said, "After six years, I can finally bite off your head, Yin Xiu. Don't let me catch you."
As if on its own, her hair began to crawl along the floorboards at the doorway into the house, tangling and wriggling, quickly covering the entire wall of the house. Dense black hair hung from the ceiling, sweeping towards Yin Xiu. M..
He swung his knife and cut off the attacking hair, then began to dodge elsewhere, but no matter where he hid in the room, he was quickly surrounded and entangled by the hair.
A rare look of displeasure appeared on Yin Xiu's handsome face.
The town does not allow anyone to kill any conscious being. This rule is for the player, which means that Queen Night can kill him, but he cannot kill Queen Night in the town.
Then escape?
The only exit of the entire house had been blocked by Queen Ye, and he had no way to escape.
Yin Xiu's gaze fell on the smiling man at the door. He had lived in the small town for so many years and had never broken the rules, but tonight someone helped him break them.
"Are you angry?" The man seemed to have noticed his slightly fluctuating emotions, and the corners of his mouth curled up even more.
Yin Xiu ignored him. It was already a great effort for him to avoid being caught in a room full of hair. He could only keep dodging and chopping off the attacking hair with his knife.
"Your knife is indeed very special..." Empress Ye stared at the Miao Dao in Yin Xiu's hand. It was sharp and dangerous. "Where did you get it?"
Yin Xiu didn't respond. He stepped on the hair on the ground and stabbed it with a knife, cutting the long hair into pieces.
The long black hair was tangled and twisted on the ground. Even after being chopped into pieces by Yin Xiu, it continued to grow and spread, wrapping around his feet.
"Do you need my help?" The man's voice sounded in the room, and he seemed to want to make up for making someone angry.
Yin Xiu looked up and saw the man casually grabbed a handful of wriggling long hair and stuffed it into his mouth. Deep in his mouth, which was full of slightly pointed teeth, there were circles of secondary teeth that chewed and crushed the long hair carefully, then swallowed it with a gulp.
There were still some twisting and struggling hairs at the corners of his smiling mouth, which he sucked in with a flick of his tongue, followed by another burst of dense chewing sounds.
Not to mention Yin Xiu, even Empress Ye was stunned.
"Who are you? How did you get here?... Did you come out of the copy?" Her trembling voice with uncertainty made Yin Xiu fall into deep thought.
Well, even Queen Ye didn’t know who he was, so it was obvious that he existed outside the town.
The man ignored Empress Ye and stared at Yin Xiu with his usual smile, repeating like a stiff repeater, "Do you need my help?"
Yin Xiu lowered his eyes to look at the hair that had entangled his calves, then looked at Empress Ye who was blocking the door, revealing a heavy expression.
Perhaps this man can kill Queen Ye and allow Yin Xiu to survive without breaking the rules, but the town will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes without Queen Ye.
There is a rule that requires the presence of Queen Ye, but if Queen Ye is gone, no one knows what changes will happen to the rules.
He doesn't want it, he still wants to live here.
You can't escape, and you can't kill, so there is only one option left.
"I don't need your help." Yin Xiu raised his hand and quickly put the knife into the black scabbard, then bent down to pick up the little girl doll that he had brought back from the door at dusk and thrown into the corner.
This is one of the conditions for entering the dungeon. A different prop will be refreshed every day and placed at the player's door. Maybe it is placed by the monsters in the town, but that doesn't matter. As long as the key prop is triggered actively, all the players in the room will enter the dungeon together.
For six years, all the monsters in the town and all the players in the town knew that Yin Xiu had never actively entered the dungeon, nor had he ever been automatically pulled into the dungeon.
But now, his intention of holding the little girl doll in the red dress was obvious.
"Are you trying to escape into a dungeon?" Lady Ye's smile seemed to mock. "Everyone in this town knows you never enter a dungeon. You're just a player who lives in this town."
Yin Xiu remained silent.
There is only one way to avoid breaking the rules and escaping from this room, and that is to enter the copy, but who can guarantee that they will survive this copy?
Amidst Empress Ye's surprise and the man's smile, Yin Xiu's eyes turned fierce and he tore the puppet's body apart.
He and the man disappeared from the room in an instant, leaving only debris on the ground.
After two seconds of silence, a new room suddenly appeared on the town’s public screen projection, and the town’s loudspeaker loudly broadcast a new message to the entire town in the night.
"Player from the 35th plane town, Yin Xiu, enters the dungeon."
This notification was like water dropping into an oil pan, waking up everyone in the town. Lights quickly lit up in the darkness at night, and they hurriedly turned on the TV at home and adjusted the screen of the players in the dungeon.
In the darkness, the first thing displayed will be the information of the players entering the dungeon.
It clearly reads:
Congratulations to the player for entering the dungeon: Monsters in the Town.
[This player's name: Yin Xiu
Gender: Male
Residence: 401, Alley A, 35th Floor Town
Copy assets held: 35.8
Dungeon progress: All cleared. 】
When the words "All levels cleared" appeared on the screen, all the players in the town were stunned, including the monsters squatting under the projection in the square.
It's not that he doesn't actively enter the dungeon, it's that he has already completed all the levels. The dungeon no longer automatically pulls him into the dungeon because there is no dungeon for him to complete anymore.
This is a player who has completed all the levels. How could such a player not leave the town right away, but live here for six years???
In the darkness, the players in the town and all the monsters were a little confused.
The moment the dungeon monsters received the player's information, they howled in a haunted manner: "Who dragged in the man who killed his way through the dungeon six years ago?! I told you not to bring him in!!"
