Chapter 81 Bite, Twist, Hug
Yin Xiu bit the tip of the tentacle, and after confirming that it was a real limb, he stopped biting.
He stared at the eye next to his teeth marks. Before, it was moving around and staring at him, but now its pupil was trembling, and the emotion reflected seemed particularly unstable.
Yin Xiu took a step back in confusion and bumped into Li Mo behind him. Just as he was about to turn around to look, a black tentacle quickly blocked his eyes.
"You can't look at me yet."
The surrounding chill climbed up his waist, and the tentacle intentionally blocked his vision and turned his head back to the right direction.
Yin Xiu listened to the slightly low and rapid breathing behind him, and felt Zhang Yang's chill swaying unscrupulously. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Did I hurt you by biting me?"
Li Mo did not respond. Instead, the coldness around Yin Xiu's waist began to shrink little by little, clinging tightly to his skin. The sound of his breathing seemed like he was enduring and suppressing something, and it was particularly clear in the silent room.
Yin Xiu stood there without moving. He indeed felt that his words seemed to have had a significant impact on Li Mo. He just waited quietly for the coldness in his heart to slowly subside and for his original calmness to return bit by bit.
During this period, the barrage of comments exploded.
"Why is the screen black again?! You won't show me the crucial part!"
"A black screen is a good thing, brother. I remember one night in the last dungeon, the brothers who stayed up all night recording the strategy read something and everyone went insane."
"According to the players who managed to avoid it, it seems they saw Brother Xiu and his roommate go into the woods and saw something they shouldn't have seen. It affected them mentally, and the live broadcast was urgently stopped at that time."
"Did you see something you shouldn't have seen in the woods...?"
"Fuck, how can something so horrifying come out of your mouth and become so ambiguous? Is it really something that cannot be seen?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this is his roommate. This weirdo seems to be very powerful, everyone should be careful."
"Is it okay for my brother Xiu to stay so close?"
"My brother Xiu will definitely be fine. Everyone suffers, but he is the only one who is favored."
The live broadcast screen quickly returned to normal, and everyone saw that in the room full of gems, Li Mo was hugging Yin Xiu from behind without saying a word. He looked normal, but he buried his head in Yin Xiu's shoulder without saying a word.
Yin Xiu sensed his stability and looked around. The tentacles had been hidden, and Li Mo seemed to have returned to his normal self. He whispered, "Alright?"
"Yeah." Li Mo responded, and Yin Xiu raised his hand to push him away, then turned around and stared at the person in front of him.
As always, with a sinister smile and wearing a neat black suit, he was handsome and elegant, neither human nor inhuman.
"I didn't bite you, did I? I just wanted to confirm that it was really a part of you." Yin Xiu stared at him, trying to see some special reaction on Li Mo's face.
But he smiled calmly, "I'm not hurt. It's just that it was the first time someone bit me, so I got a little emotional."
Confusion appeared on Yin Xiu's face, and then he nodded calmly, "As long as you're okay."
His understanding of Li Mo was limited to the glance he just saw, and he wasn't quite sure whether his so-called emotional excitement was a normal reaction, so he just glanced over the topic and prepared to get down to business.
Yin Xiu turned and walked to the man huddled in the corner.
Li Mo's emotions had stabilized, but this man seemed to have become extremely panicked.
He huddled there trembling, staring at Li Mo with horror on his face. He didn't say a word, but his fear was clearly visible.
"Do you have anything to say before you die?" Yin Xiu stared at him and asked calmly. Before he could draw his knife, the man suddenly pounced on him and hugged Yin Xiu's legs.
"Don't kill me! I don't want to die! I can give you all the gems in the room! These gems can be exchanged for copy assets, or they can be exchanged for props or information from other monsters! They are very useful!!" The man begged for mercy in a series of ways, and even thought of the conditions to save his life.
Yin Xiu silently turned his head and stared at the room full of jewels. They looked indeed valuable. Then he lowered his eyes indifferently, "I don't really need props to clear the dungeon. I'll have plenty of assets after the dungeon is over, so I don't need you for that."
The man was stunned and began to cry. "I... I can also tell you some news about the dungeon! No one in this dungeon knows the environment better than us monsters. If you want, I can provide a lot of help!"
Facing the man's plea for mercy, Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the man's fear level was far higher than usual.
The townspeople who were killed in the previous instance knew they were going to be killed, and they weren't this scared.
He wasn't that scared when he was thrown into the house before. Could it be Li Mo's influence?
Yin Xiu was not sure, but he was still interested in the news about the copy he mentioned.
He raised the handcuffs on his hands, "Do you know this?"
The man nodded hurriedly. "I know! The white handcuffs are the warden's special tools, specially used on those he considers to be extremely dangerous and vicious. Once they're on, they can't be broken, and only the warden can remove them."
"Furthermore, those wearing white handcuffs will be exposed to far more pollution than other players walking around in Paradise City. Every time they kill a person or a monster, the pollution will spread rapidly. It won't be long before this person falls into Paradise City."
"Pollution value?"
"In fact, every floor of Paradise City is filled with sin. Players will be contaminated as soon as they step in. However, the degree of contamination is very small. The longer you stay, the more serious the contamination will be. Depending on the contamination of sin, the impact on people will be different. The white handcuffs are props that accelerate the contamination."
Yin Xiu stared silently at the only white handcuffs left on his hands. The black handcuffs had just been taken with the package key, but the white ones could only be obtained from the warden. Doesn't that mean that if he doesn't find the warden quickly, he will slowly degenerate in Paradise City?
Under Li Mo's cold stare, the man continued tremblingly, "You... you must have encountered the greed zone when you came here, right? If your original determination was 100, the handcuffs would reduce it by 50. When you are tempted, it will be reduced by another 10. If it is something that attracts you very much, you will easily lose your rationality."
"White handcuffs are the biggest restriction in Rapture City. Players who wear them cannot leave Rapture City and will eventually become madmen in various sins."
"So far, there has been no precedent of anyone leaving Paradise in white handcuffs."
