Chapter 46: Sandwiched Between Two Sides
He really liked the way this person looked, alive but cold and lifeless.
For a moment, the person he was looking at seemed to be hazy and dreamy, as crystal clear as bubbles, making him dizzy.
But the next second, he was awakened by the screams of the townspeople nearby.
The mayor suddenly realized that Yin Xiu shouldn't be hiding at this time. Why was he still standing there calmly?
As soon as he turned around, the noise at the door gave him the answer.
At the moment when the townspeople opened the door of the house and prepared to rush in, something rushed out with a shrill howl and grabbed the townspeople who were rushing in front.
The dark blue spirit, brimming with black smoke and resentment, charged towards the townspeople standing in front of the houses. With hatred, it swiftly killed the townspeople who rushed towards it, angrily throwing its twisted body into the crowd. The corpse, blood splattering, flung itself towards the crowd before crashing heavily to the ground, adding to the tragedy.
"What is that?!" The townspeople retreated in panic, instinctively dispersing after being frightened.
They looked at the twisted corpse on the ground, then at the pale and resentful faces floating at the door, and were stunned for a moment.
What…what the hell is this? Why is there a ghost in the mayor's house? And it's a vengeful spirit with strong resentment and a strong aggression.
"Don't go! The sacrifice is inside!" Someone shouted to call the crowd back, still facing the entrance of the house and refusing to give up.
Facing the strange spirit in front of the door means death, and not preparing a sacrifice will also mean death if they are killed by the woman. They are in a dilemma and can only grit their teeth and rush into the house with their weapons to try to fight.
But faced with the spirit that was full of resentment and immune to physical attacks, they mustered up the courage to rush forward. Apart from widespread screams, almost no one made it in successfully.
In just a few minutes, a large number of townspeople were killed or injured, and the wailing was horrific.
The entire house is filled with spirits. Even if we get into the lobby and go up to the second floor, how can we bring Yin Xiu out?
The mayor stared blankly at the faces huddled at the doorway, twisted with hatred, and was in a daze for a moment before he reacted.
Those are paintings, and all of them are people he trapped in the paintings!
How could it be possible... Is it that man?
That man actually released all of his treasures! It was the hard work he had accumulated over many years!
The mayor glared at Yin Xiu, who was staring at him from the second floor, with gritted teeth. He felt both excited and sad. He now understood why Yin Xiu had taken away those paintings in the afternoon. It was all in preparation for this time in the evening. He had never thought of it at that time.
He was excited about Yin Xiu's resistance, as he actually dared to release the evil spirits in his paintings to defend himself. However, he was also sad that his collection of many years was cleared out in one day.
The desire to include Yin Xiu in the frame became even more intense.
"Mayor! We can't get in!"
"Dead... So many people died! Mayor, why are there so many evil spirits in your house?!"
"It's over. We're all finished. There's no way we can get a sacrifice... We're all going to be killed by that woman."
In the blink of an eye, the townspeople were killed or injured, and the ground was covered with corpses and blood. The scene was extremely horrifying.
All those spirits were guarding the door, their faces crowded there, glaring at the people outside. Anyone who entered would be attacked, and killing someone would be a quick matter.
They were just defending against the invasion of the townspeople, but with the presence of the mayor, those twisted faces became even more crazy, and they all wanted to rush out and kill this man.
At this time, a misty white fog rose in the square.
A low woman's laughter echoed in the cold square, frightening a group of townspeople so much that they began to tremble.
"She, she's here...it's time for sacrifice..."
"It's over... Our town is finished!!"
The townspeople looked back at the square in despair. The woman's figure appeared in the hazy white fog. She dragged her lame leg and walked out of the white fog step by step, with blood dripping all the way.
The townspeople and the mayor were caught between two things for a while. On one side was a woman who came to kill the townspeople, and on the other side was a spirit that wanted to rush out and kill the mayor. No matter which one it was, the townspeople and the mayor were in an impossible situation, and no one had time to care about Yin Xiu, the sacrifice.
"Finally... I finally found the opportunity." After the woman appeared, she ignored the townspeople and stared at the mayor with bloodshot eyes.
"Die... Kill you... I will kill you..." The spirits in the house also began to cry and wandered in front of the door of the house, trying desperately to squeeze out and kill the mayor, but no spirit could squeeze out.
"This has really caused me a big trouble..." Facing the two parties who were eyeing each other covetously, the mayor slowly took a step back.
Fortunately, Yin Xiu threw the trouble to him, so he didn't have to die tonight.
Unfortunately, what Yin Xiu gave him was really a huge trouble, a very fatal one.
Faced with the woman slowly approaching, the mayor could only take a step back, turn around and run into the darkness.
"Don't go!!" The woman screamed and lay on the ground. Her twisted figure quickly ran out to catch up with the mayor, and the two of them disappeared in the white mist.
Downstairs, the spirits couldn't follow the mayor out and could only continue to block the door. The townspeople wanted to offer sacrifices but couldn't get in. The spirits also resented them for silently tolerating the mayor's behavior and would never let them into the house.
After watching the commotion, Yin Xiu yawned lazily.
Well, the mayor is not in the house and the townspeople cannot come in. Now it is absolutely safe here. Who would have the time to care about him as a sacrifice?
"Come with me to the basement." Yin Xiu turned around, beckoned at Li Mo, opened the door and went out.
Li Mo came to Yin Xiu's room, so Zhong Mu had to go to the next room with the little girl. Once the door was opened, there was no other figure in the corridor except the spirit, so there was no obstruction wherever they went.
The players heard Yin Xiu open the door and walk downstairs, but when they looked out through the peephole, they saw spirits standing quietly on both sides of the corridor. No one dared to provoke them, especially after hearing the screams of countless townspeople who had died tragically downstairs.
Yin Xiu didn't care. After all, he was the one who released these spirits. Even if they killed people indiscriminately, they would be afraid of Li Mo behind him.
He walked down to the lobby on the first floor and paused for a moment when he passed a pillar engraved with rules.
Hotel room rule number six: Don't go to the basement.
After carefully studying the rules, Yin Xiu discovered that the dungeon survival rules were used to constrain players. If the rules were violated, the dungeon would kill the player.
The mother's note is to restrain the little girl. If the rules are violated, it will be the little girl who will die. The reason why the player will die is simply because his own rules include the life and death of the little girl.
The rules of the cemetery town are partly imposed by the female ghost to restrain the townspeople. If the townspeople fail to follow the rules, the female ghost will kill them.
Now, the hotel he is staying in belongs to the mayor, and the rules are naturally set by the mayor to restrict the guests.
The rule that residents are not allowed to go to the basement is a restriction imposed by the mayor, who does not want others to know the secrets in the basement. Once someone violates the rule and goes to the basement, the mayor will kill the person who violated the rule.
It’s not a copy, not a female ghost, nor any other existence. It must be the mayor, because this is the mayor’s rule.
Rules are independent unless they are related to each other.
But what if someone enters the basement when the mayor is unable to impose punishment?
