Chapter 97 Are You Jealous?
Confused, he decided to explore this floor first.
Just as he took a step forward, a door not far ahead suddenly opened, and a player covered in black and red blood walked out of the room.
The man was wearing a mask that might have been pure white but was now stained with blood. He exuded coldness all over, like a moving corpse that had just crawled out of a grave, without any breath of life.
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, and he could make out the number "1" from his bloodstained prison uniform. What shocked Yin Xiu even more was the knife hanging from his waist. It was very similar to Yin Xiu's, except that the sheath was white.
Yin Xiu immediately understood why Ye Tianxuan mistook him for himself.
This man, bathed in the blood of monsters and players and holding a knife, looked very much like Yin Xiu, who had not yet retired and was rushing through the dungeon.
Slaughtering all the players and monsters seemed like something he would do in the past.
He looked at the player who was half a corridor away from him, and for a moment he felt as if he had crossed time and saw another self.
"Who... are you?" He subconsciously tightened his grip on the knife and asked with a frown.
The other party didn't answer him. Behind the bloodstained mask was silence. A criminal wearing an orange mask slowly floated out from the side and kept whispering in the man's ear: "Ants, ants, ants, ants..."
The player slowly turned around, faced Yin Xiu, and calmly drew the knife from his waist.
Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows and silently drew out his knife. Although he was wearing handcuffs and his pollution value would increase after killing someone, he really didn't like being despised by a mere criminal sect.
The two men almost simultaneously turned the blades in their hands and rushed towards each other in an instant.
Almost at the same time, the ground between the two of them suddenly turned into a black swamp, sinking them.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared in the corridor, leaving Li Mo standing there alone.
He paused, looked at the smooth ground and fell silent.
How could he, such a great Yin Killer God, just disappear like that?
The moment he fell into the dark swamp, Yin Xiu felt a little suffocated, and his mind was filled with a lot of negative emotions. Then he fell into a pitch-black space.
There was no corridor around, no player, no Li Mo, only him.
Yin Xiu got up, frowned and confronted the darkness for a moment. After realizing that there was indeed nothing here, he slowly put away his knife.
He stared around, losing even his sense of space, completely unaware of the environment he was in.
"What a gimmick! Is there any other sin level like this?" Yin Xiu muttered and took a tentative step forward.
After his feet landed on something that looked like the ground, a picture suddenly lit up in the surrounding darkness, instantly pulling Yin Xiu into an environment.
The sound of the crowd drowned out Yin Xiu. In the darkness, he saw the players in the town, and among those people, he saw a more familiar figure.
"Ye Tianxuan?" Yin Xiu called out uncertainly, but neither the crowd nor Ye Tianxuan responded to him. Instead, they were talking and laughing. The scene was very lively and warm.
"Are you jealous?" A voice sounded faintly beside his ear, floating in Yin Xiu's mind.
"Look at him..." Yin Xiu's attention was forced to focus on Ye Tianxuan in the crowd. The white figure was surrounded by the crowd, and his whole body was shrouded in sunlight, dazzling, as if it was the sun itself.
"He's so weak, so powerless, and has no offensive power. He can be killed with just one knife, but he's more popular than you and has more friends. Aren't you jealous?"
Yin Xiu frowned, feeling annoyed by the inexplicable voice in his mind, "That's what he deserves."
"No... maybe without him, it's you that these people should be admiring."
“Look at you, how powerful you are. No one in this town or even in this dungeon can surpass you. They should all know how great you are, but it was this person who hid your brilliance and monopolized everyone else. That’s why you have no friends.
"It's all his fault that you're so lonely. He took your friend away. Shouldn't you be jealous?"
Yin Xiu raised his hand to press down on his aching head. The handcuffs on his wrists glowed faintly green. He shouted angrily, "Shut up and get out."
But the voice persisted. The surrounding scene changed, and Yin Xiu appeared sitting alone by the river fishing. The dim sky reflected the lake, and his reflection in the lake looked particularly lonely.
"You've been in this small town for six years, and no one has ever approached you. Why? Because of him. He doesn't let anyone get close to you. He's taken away your glory. You should be jealous."
The surrounding scenes kept flashing, and many scenes of Yin Xiu alone in the small town at night appeared.
"For six years, apart from Weird, no one was by your side. You had no friends, no family, nothing. When you looked at him, didn't you feel jealous of him for a moment?"
The voice continued to echo, slowly and subtly enticing Yin Xiu in his mind. Whenever he even considered resisting, his head would begin to ache like needles. His nerves felt like they were being pulled, producing sharp pains that stretched into an endlessly prolonged ringing in his ears, leaving him dizzy and dazed.
The handcuffs on his wrists grew greener and greener.
"I don't……"
"You're lying." The voice chuckled with conviction, "You've been jealous of him, surrounded by so many people and in such a brilliant light."
"Because you are human, you will be jealous of what you don't have. You have feelings, so you will be jealous."
Yin Xiu's forehead was covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I'm not jealous. I'm a monster, and monsters don't have feelings!"
The smile in his voice became more and more flamboyant and sharp. "No emotions? A person who truly has no emotions should be like a walking corpse, unmoved by anything."
"Just like you, who remained indifferent to them six years ago."
The scene around him changed in an instant. Countless skeletons stretched out their hands from the darkness at his feet and pounced on him. Black mucus overflowed from the skeletons' empty eye sockets. They tightly hugged his legs and dragged him down.
"You have no friends. You've killed everyone around you."
"You have no family. You killed everyone in the orphanage."
"You are alone, you are a monster, you have nothing, and you don't deserve anything."
"You should have died in the final instance then."
The skeleton kept muttering in its mouth, and its empty eye sockets looked at Yin Xiu's tense face, his hesitation, his gradually rapid breathing, and his pale face.
The voice laughed sharply, and as if it had found his weakness, it began to ask repeatedly, "Are you scared? Are you scared?"
"You are also afraid of having nothing, so you are jealous of Ye Tianxuan, right?
“Because he has everything you want.
"Although he is so weak and powerless, he has a family who is willing to take care of his body, friends who are willing to trust him, a strong heart and a soul that will never sink into darkness."
The voice was laughing wildly, and the sharp pain became more and more rampant, almost occupying Yin Xiu's brain and making him unable to think.
He gritted his teeth and his face turned completely pale. He squinted at Ye Tianxuan who was swaying in the light and shadow not far away. The white figure was as bright as the sun.
Yin Xiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath slowly.
"You're right. Ye Tianxuan is completely different from me. I was indeed jealous of him, but I was jealous that he... was mentally stronger than me."
He opened his eyes quickly, pulled a coin out of his pocket and threw it into the darkness.
The golden coin shone brightly in the darkness, illuminating Yin Xiu's face.
"Besides, I'm not completely without anything. I have a friend like Ye Tianxuan, and a...small family."
The coin fell to the ground in an instant, and a petite and cute red figure jumped out from the air and flew into Yin Xiu's arms.
"Brother! Are you hurt?!"
