After swallowing a soup dumpling, Luo Bin blinked.
Mmm~ It tastes good, and the mutation value on the panel hasn't changed at all.
I used a disinfectant this morning, and the level is still around 30%.
So… “These foods are all normal?” Luo Bin asked in astonishment.
"Hmm." Xiao Jin nodded, completely unaware of what she had just said: "How can you eat if it's not normal?"
I negotiated with them and found some normal ingredients.
Negotiation? What kind of negotiation are you referring to?
Luo Bin gave Xiao Jin a thumbs up, then lowered his head and ate even more heartily, while Xu Qing almost burst out laughing.
He simply stood up and put the plate of steamed buns at the very edge of the table back by the window.
"Since you've all worked so hard, you should try some!" With that, he ignored the two ghosts' stares and sat back down at the table.
Luo Bin: "Tsk~"
Since the late-night snack was eaten quite late, no one was very hungry.
But since Xiao Jin had put some thought into preparing this meal, the four of them ate only a token amount.
And they have almost figured out why Xiao Jin is so irritable!
After a lot of commotion last night, it was almost four o'clock when Xiao Jin got back to her room. They had to leave the guesthouse before eight o'clock this morning.
After a while, I couldn't even get four hours of sleep.
But when Xiao Jin returned to her room, she couldn't fall asleep at all; she suffered from insomnia.
Seeing the light shining through the curtains getting brighter and brighter, Xiao Jin got so angry that she decided not to sleep and waited downstairs for the time to end.
As Xiao Jin waited, she inadvertently caught sight of a figure in the window. The more she looked at the person, the more displeased she became. Look, that's the one hanging there!
………………
It was almost eight o'clock, and the players gradually arrived at the park's main entrance.
When I went out, the staff at the work station in front of the guesthouse area had been waiting for a long time.
Her smile froze, and her gaze towards the players was no longer the same. Especially when she saw Xiao Jin, she looked like she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
"...Dear Tester...this is your badge..."
The other person reached out their hand, but quickly pulled their arm back as Xiao Jin took it.
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow.
Because it was quite dark at night, even with lights, it was difficult to see clearly. But when it came to daytime, everyone realized what kind of mess they had made of the amusement park.
The surrounding area was charred black, with the ruins of the remaining buildings scattered everywhere.
The once lush flowers and plants were largely devoured by the merciless fire, leaving only a few scattered green shoots struggling tenaciously in the scorched earth.
Flames still raged in some places, crackling and spewing thick black smoke, filling the air with a pungent, burnt smell.
The church on the north side, in particular, is almost completely gone.
Before long, the remaining players slowly gathered at the entrance of the park.
The intense sunlight shone brightly on the empty square, casting clear shadows on everyone.
It was still that familiar place, music could be faintly heard, but nearly 90% of the familiar faces were gone, and an indescribable heaviness filled the air.
Xiao Jin and his group arrived relatively late, and as soon as they got close, they keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere among the players.
Following everyone's gaze, Xiao Jin actually spotted Yin Qiu in the distance.
She's not dead?
Since she didn't come back last night, Xiao Jin and the others thought that Yin Qiu had died in the Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, since Xu Qing couldn't guarantee that he could contact everyone.
But now that she's at the gate, it can only mean that something unexpected happened at night, preventing her from returning to the guesthouse.
Xiao Jin glanced at it and finally understood why the atmosphere here was so strange.
Although Yin Qiu did not die, she seems to be in a very bad state now.
Her mutation value is already alarmingly high, with 70% of her body showing signs of mutation.
Yin Qiu's one eye had turned an eerie deep purple, flashing with a vertical pupil that was not human, while the other eye was tightly closed, seemingly unable to open again.
Her arms, like twisted, withered branches, were covered with rough, hard scales, and her legs were also out of proportion, with muscles that looked as if they might burst at any moment.
Even more chillingly, half of her torso had become translucent, and a mutated eye was coldly watching everything around her from her twisted face.
"Hiss~"
Upon seeing this, Luo Bin gasped.
Xiao Jin knew why he did it, because they could no longer see even a trace of human emotion in Yin Qiu's eyes.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
Especially since Yin Qiu wasn't the only one like this; the five of them standing together looked shocking.
Nobody knows if they might suddenly turn around and face the players.
Xiao Jin did not step forward, nor did Yin Qiu.
Even though Xiao Jin had once saved her, when her gaze swept over Xiao Jin, her eyes remained devoid of any emotion.
"Ta-da~~Ta-da~"
A familiar entrance music played, accompanied by the explosion of colorful balls, and countless ribbons fell from mid-air.
The clown that the player encountered when they first arrived reappears.
He bent down, removed his hat, and gave the players a gentlemanly bow.
He then straightened up: 'Hello everyone, the work is going smoothly... Oh my god, who did this?!'
Clown: Aaaaaaah! (Groundhog screaming image)
What a dashing entrance! All of that was ruined by the sight before him.
But that doesn't matter. The Joker believes that what will be destroyed soon is not just his image, but also him as a person!
He clutched his head in despair: "Why did Paradise turn out like this? I only went to take a look at the other instances, how could this happen..."
The clown's eyes were lifeless, then he suddenly turned around with bloodshot eyes, a chilling murderous intent flashing in them.
"Who? Who did this?"
The players' eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with the clown, while a few secretly glanced at Xiao Jin.
But it was this very glance that the clown happened to spot.
"Heh~" He sneered, then his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Xiao Jin in the next second.
Before the clown could speak, he felt a chill at his throat. Upon closer inspection, he saw Xiao Jin holding a long knife, the tip of which was already pressed against the clown's throat.
When was it...?
The clown was very surprised and gave Xiao Jin a deep look. This human could actually predict his movements.
After Xu Qing and the others reacted, they all cautiously gathered around, and some players who had a good impression of Xiao Jin also took out their items.
