"Because we have steak for dinner, I specially paired it with this glass of red wine to help with the greasiness."
"Um."
Yi Li nodded, picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
The taste is indeed unique and quite delicious.
After Yili finished his dinner, the waiter cleaned up and left with the dining cart.
As Yi Li stood up, he felt a flash before his eyes.
Finally, it's here.
"If I kill her, Tariel will die?"
"Yes, that's right. Her life is now connected to Tariel's. As long as she dies, Tariel will naturally...hahahaha!"
"We've waited so long, and now we can finally kill him."
"Tell me, if we eat her flesh, will we become the next island master?"
"The game should agree, right? After all, she carries the game's core memory. Once we eat her, Tariel will die, and then we can eat Tariel. Hahahaha, even if the people above don't want to, they'll agree to it for the sake of the normal landing of the dungeon."
"A rotten rose will eventually be swallowed by darkness. Even if a mermaid's tears turn into pearls, she cannot save her beloved."
"She's just an ordinary player. No matter how powerful she is, what can she do to us?"
There was a clamor of conversation and the stench of decay and mildew.
Yili felt the cold blade roaming around his neck.
"Cut this off. You can drink the blood..."
The dwarf with the bulbous nose was about to attack with a smile when he was kicked away.
The tall man next to her stood there in a daze, staring at her.
Yili opened his eyes lazily, sat on the broken bed and looked at them: "Where do you want to cut me? Tell me."
After she finished speaking, she took out a Mao Bu Dao Yuan shoulder-fired cannon. With a click, the cannon was loaded.
The pitch-black barrels were pointed at them.
The two monsters who were just so excited: "..."
Where is the medicine?
Didn’t you take the medicine?
Why is she still awake?
Yili yawned as he pointed his cannon at them. "Come on, why aren't you talking? Is there something on your mind? Tell me, I really want to enlighten you."
Bang!
The tall, unharmed man slumped to his knees before her, a few hairs on his head twitching. His ugly, green, scaly face quickly transformed as he wailed and begged for mercy, "I was wrong! We were wrong! We won't do this again! I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my wife gave birth to a child who is not only missing limbs but also mentally retarded! We're doing this wicked thing because we really have no other choice!"
Yili: "Oh? Really?"
The tall man said, "Yes, yes, yes! If I lie to you, my son will be struck by lightning and die miserably!"
Yi Li was quite speechless: "...You swear if you want to, but why did your son swear?"
The tall man said with determination: "Because in my heart, my son is more important than my life."
The dwarf lying on the wall next to him looked at the tall man in shock, his eyes full of: What the hell are you talking about?
Yili smiled and said, "Then you are really a good father."
The tall man was sweating profusely: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, haha."
"Why don't we play a game?"
Yi Li pointed at the cannon in his hand and said, "I only have one gunpowder in here, and it will only kill one of you. I will ask you a few questions. Whoever answers me to my satisfaction will live."
"Okay! I promise!"
The tall man was the first to agree.
Yili's eyes fell on the dwarf: "Do you want to join?"
"I...will participate." It stood up with difficulty and knelt beside the tall man.
It was the first time that Yili had experienced the feeling of deciding life or death.
It feels pretty good.
"First question, how did you get me out here?"
"It was a man. He gave us some money and told us an address, asking us to get rid of you. He also told me that if we killed you and ate you, we could become the owner of this dungeon."
The tall man couldn't wait to speak, and the dwarf next to him looked at him as if he had a knife in his eyes, as if he wanted to stab him to death.
"Second question, where is this place?"
The tall man was about to speak when the dwarf interrupted him: "This is Poor Alley, the most chaotic area in Giant Island."
After saying this, the dwarf glared at him fiercely.
"The third question is, what time is it now?"
"It's already past ten o'clock in the evening."
"Aren't you afraid that you'll be caught by the island owner before you kill me?"
"That person told us that he has a way to prevent the island owner from finding us before seven o'clock tomorrow morning, so we should hurry up and do it."
Yili silently memorized the time.
"I've finished asking my questions."
Yi Li smiled slightly.
"Can I survive now? I answered the most questions in the most detail!"
The tall man said quickly.
The dwarf next to him blushed in anger: "You were the first one to clamor for more of her meat! How dare you do that!"
"Don't you also want to drink her blood yourself?"
The tall man retorted angrily.
Just as they were arguing about who would survive, there was a loud bang and everything turned to ashes.
Yili retracted the cannon and elegantly took off the sunglasses on his face. The prop was quite useful and could control the range of the explosion.
She got out of bed and walked to the door to take a look at their ashes. "I always treat everyone equally. Your answers are all good. I'll let them all die."
Yi Li opened the door and found a pair of stone stairs leading upwards, with black stains of unknown oil on them.
There are two words written in red paint on the wall - Rat House.
Yi Li was wearing a sky blue lace dress that she had not had time to change. Even though it was just an ordinary everyday dress, it was still too gorgeous in the hands of the embroiderer of Ishta Castle. She took apart all the gems and pearls and put them into the space. The dress that was originally dazzling with jewels immediately became several times simpler.
Yi Li walked up the stairs and pushed open the closed door.
A group of ratmen, who were the same height as him, wearing simple and patched clothes and dragging their rat tails, were wandering the streets.
"I heard that the Marquis of Meimi is looking for help to clean the sewers. The revenge is very generous. Do you want to go?"
"How dare you go? Don't you know that the Marquis has a son who particularly likes to play with rat-stompers? Last time, the husband of my second brother-in-law's neighbor's third aunt's second daughter was tricked into going there, and when he came back, he was just a pile of pulp."
"But I heard the Marquis gave a lot of good things. I heard there were three large pearls of excellent quality, five beautiful rubies, and twenty gold coins."
When Yili came out, he instantly attracted the attention of countless rat people.
"Why is she the same height as us?"
"Why are there no mouse ears and tail?"
"She comes from the tall and short brothers' family."
"Didn't you just hear something explode inside?"
Yi Li glanced at them calmly, then walked straight ahead.
"Is she human?"
"How is this possible? How dare humans come to this damn place?"
"They should be giants of noble blood."
"Are giants this short?"
"Then you must not offend them. Anyone who can afford the shrinking potion must be rich or noble! He must know those wizards!"
