Chapter 5 Little Girl
"Didn't he already clear the level? Why is he still here after six years?"
"Which instance did he enter this time?"
"Small town monster."
"It's okay, it's not my copy."
"But what should we do this time? He's already cleared all the dungeons before, and even let the other small town players in his batch take advantage of the situation and cleared them all. I don't think he'll do the same thing this time, will he?"
"We can only increase the difficulty! First, apply to change the rules so that he can't harm the monsters."
"Then those strange monsters in this dungeon..."
"Change it to a new one! Change it to one that doesn't recognize Yin Xiu!"
"That's all we can do."
After some whispered discussions, the dungeon officially began.
The player information displayed on the big screen slowly disappeared, the darkness faded, and the picture began to appear.
In the town square, a dense mass of dark shadows filled the shadows beneath the large projection screen. Even Night Queen crouched there, watching with a look of displeasure on her face. Inside the town's houses, countless players abandoned their sleep to hunker down in front of their televisions to watch the dungeon livestream.
The copy had just begun and the message had already filled the entire screen.
"Am I seeing correctly? The one who entered the dungeon was Yin Xiu?"
"It's Yin Xiu. He and I live in the same alley. There was such a loud noise just now. I guess something unexpected happened tonight."
"It feels like a dream... I can actually see Yin Xiu in the dungeon..."
"Some people said he was actually very powerful before, but I think that was all bragging. It's rare for him to enter the dungeon, so I want to see how powerful he is in the dungeon."
"I also think it's probably just exaggeration, but it's certain that he's not normal."
"The other town players participating in this dungeon have also woken up. Let's take a look at this dungeon."
"I've cleared this dungeon before. It's a novice survival dungeon, not difficult."
"Yin Xiu actually started from the Novice dungeon... He really has never entered a dungeon before, right?"
"You didn't see the player's information just now, right? Yin Xiu is a master who has cleared all the levels."
"real???"
With information flying all over the screen, Yin Xiu slowly opened his eyes.
"He's coming in again..." He muttered, sitting up from the bed, his face tired and relaxed for a few seconds before looking around.
This seemed to be a women's room. He had no recollection of it, but the prospect of the dungeon rang in his mind:
"Theme of this dungeon: Monsters in the town."
“A happy little girl moved into the monster town where her grandmother lived with her mother. Her mother had to leave home for three days for something. In this monster-filled town, you need to help the poor little girl, who is alone at home, successfully survive these three days while waiting for her mother to come home.”
"There seems to be some danger in her room. You must follow the note left by her mother to help her survive. Always be careful of the monsters around you."
After the voice sounded, Yin Xiu tried hard to recall things related to this copy, but it was too long ago, and the memory in his mind was very vague and could not help.
"Let's go out and take a look first." Muttering, Yin Xiu stood up and opened the door.
The things in this room are very simple. Judging from the daily necessities, there are only things belonging to adult women and children, which basically correspond to the characters in the background prompts. Since the mother is not at home, there must be a little girl in the room.
Yin Xiu didn't rush to look for it. He walked around the living room and noticed two notes on the table in the living room.
One with the familiar black regular font, and one with handwritten font.
The black rules font contains the survival rules that all players are familiar with.
[Instance survival rule one: Don't let the little girl see the rules within the instance.]
At the same time Yin Xiu saw this message, another door in the living room opened.
A little girl in a red dress, holding a bunny doll, peeked out of the room. She looked at Yin Xiu with a puzzled expression on her innocent face. "Are you the one my mom hired to take care of me?"
"Yeah." Yin Xiu responded lazily, ignoring the little girl and continuing to read.
[Rule 2 of the Dungeon Survival Rule: You cannot refuse a little girl's request.]
"Brother." The little girl in the red dress walked to Yin Xiu's side without him noticing. She tugged at the hem of Yin Xiu's clothes, a smile on her face. "What are you looking at? Is it the note my mother left for me? Can you let me see what my mother wrote to me?"
The moment she opened her mouth, a shrill scream suddenly came from the next room. The sound was heart-wrenching and made people tremble with fear.
Yin Xiu looked at the little girl expressionlessly, and glanced at the two pieces of paper in his hand. One was the copy rules, and the other was indeed a note from his mother, but it also had rules on it, the rules for survival at home.
She can’t see the rules in the copy, which means she can’t see any rules, including her mother’s note.
But I couldn't refuse the little girl's request...
Yin Xiu seemed to know where the screams came from the house next door.
"Brother, just let me see it." The little girl smiled strangely and asked Yin Xiu for the rules in his hand with an innocent look.
Giving or not giving seems to be a fatal choice.
Now not only Yin Xiu was silent, but even the players outside the screen were silent.
"Did you see what happened in the next room?"
"I saw it... The rejected little girl's head instantly transformed into a monster and bit off that person's limbs."
"Holy shit, my hands and feet are freezing right now. Why is this dungeon so different from anything I've experienced before? Is it going to be this deadly from the start?!"
"I remember this was a novice dungeon? It wasn't that difficult, was it? What's going on?"
"You call this a novice dungeon? If I had entered here when I was a novice, I would have been dead by now like the player in the room next to Yin Xiu!"
"We're in a dilemma right from the start. The players in other rooms are all frozen. Now it all depends on how Yin Xiu makes it through. I think Yin Xiu will die, right?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yin Xiu in the copy.
He had a cold face. After a few seconds of silence, he reached out and touched the little girl's hair. Although he tried to be gentle, his cold face was not gentle at all. He said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I'll show you after I finish reading it."
"Hmm..." The little girl had a conflicted expression on her face.
After thinking for a few seconds, she nodded reluctantly. It wasn't that she didn't want to show it to her, but if she showed it to her later, it wouldn't be considered a rejection.
"Be good." Yin Xiu comforted her perfunctorily and carried her to the sofa, "Sit and play for a while."
He leaned back on the sofa in the living room to check the rules. The little girl sat beside him obediently, playing with her doll. The scene looked very harmonious, without any sense of danger from before.
The comments were somewhat surprised: "Is this still possible?"
"It's not that I can't, it's just that he's so calm... How come he's not afraid?"
"Yeah, returning to the dungeon is like coming home..."
"Maybe he has no idea that this little girl is also a murderous monster."
The barrage was filled with confused mutterings. After looking at Yin Xiu and then at the bloody scene in the next room, it was hard to imagine that this was the same copy.
After comforting the little girl, Yin Xiu continued to read the note.
【Copy survival rules:
3. Help the little girl follow her mother’s note.
4. Don’t give little girls any weapons.
5. Do not open the door to anyone outside and hide the presence of the little girl.
6. Stay in your room at night, don’t go to the living room, and don’t let it find you.
7. If you feel something enter your room, immediately call your roommate loudly to come find you, and then the two of you stay together until dawn. 】..
Yin Xiu tilted his head slightly. Regardless of what the "it" in the sixth item was, if the seventh item involved something related to roommates, then he must have a roommate?
The rules are absolute. The town rules include a part about sacrificing to the Night Queen, so the town must have the Night Queen. The copy rules say that he has a roommate, so he definitely has a roommate.
As if in response to Yin Xiu's thoughts, another door in the living room suddenly opened with a click, and a person Yin Xiu did not expect walked out.
