He quickly went over to look at them one by one…
The above contains some strange information.
Their origins, characteristics, and features…
Monsters without thought that only attack humans, and forbidden ghosts with thought.
There are also three strange occurrences at the very top of the pyramid.
Lin Mu stared blankly at a silhouette on the wall. The mysterious figure depicted on it looked exactly like his friend, whose fate was unknown.
No way, it really is him?
"It's him." This was confirmed by Yu Shuang.
Lin Mu quickly processed the information, and became increasingly alarmed as he read on.
Nightfall—Lord of the Uncanny!?
Rather than calling him the Lord of the Uncanny, it's more accurate to describe him as a puppet operating under the rules of this place.
Because he has no control over the rules here; instead, he is controlled by the rules.
He is a vampire who grew up without family, but was fortunate enough to be adopted by a kind family.
She was once so kind, righteous, and innocent, never harming anyone and always happy to help.
Good times don't last long; natural disasters and man-made calamities strike, and the village is attacked by bandits.
In a moment of crisis, he killed all the brutal and bloodthirsty bandits, saving the entire village from slaughter.
He inadvertently exposed himself and was subsequently targeted and killed by the villagers, including his own family.
He was captured, tied to a pyre, and prepared to be burned alive, this monster.
He did not resist...
He didn't know if he was really dead. When he regained consciousness, he was in an experimental vessel, his body covered in tubes.
He was subjected to blood draws, electric shocks, and flesh cuttings every day... He spent every day in conscious agony.
There were other test subjects like him around him.
There was a crazy man in a white coat who claimed to be their god and had given them a second life.
They perfected the rules of the bizarre world...
Thus, the night became a strange master controlled by rules.
Meanwhile, the eldest daughter in red and the third son in white, along with other oddities, became part of the world decorated with rules…
No wonder the night is so averse to doing good deeds; it's disheartening that good people don't get rewarded...
However, there is still one point of doubt.
"I can't figure it out. I can tell he's weak. He can't even beat me. How could he be the master of this strange place?"
Yu Shuang nodded thoughtfully:
"...Based on my research, there's usually only one reason that could injure the Lord of the Unseen: being devoured by the rules of this place. ...He must have done something against the will of this world's rules..."
Ling Linmu was indignant:
"Who in their right mind would want to be a puppet controlled by the rules here?!"
No wonder he asked me some strange questions out of the blue before; it turns out he wanted to learn about the outside world through me.
He definitely didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place, so what did he do to suffer the backlash from the rules?
That research freak is a complete scoundrel! Every life lost to the monsters here should be blamed on that madman. He deserves to die a thousand deaths!!
Finally, still not satisfied, he spat out a sigh of relief:
"These crazy researchers are all idiots! They should be dragged out and shot, and it wouldn't be a crime against them."
Yu Shuang looked at the person who was venting their frustration with surprise.
"Such deep resentment? Do you know any other psychopaths who went insane from doing research?"
As the protagonist, all events revolve around him. Often, even the smallest piece of information can lead to a major discovery.
Lin Mu took a deep breath to calm himself down, seemingly not intending to say anything more.
"Don't wash your dirty linen in public, let's not talk about it. What do we do next? Where do we find Nightfall? In any case, let's figure out a way to get out of this hellhole together."
His gaze was firm, as if he had made a great decision.
Since the person in question didn't want to talk about it, Yu Shuang was too lazy to press him for details.
"He'll appear once he regains his strength. Let's go back first."
Lin Mu nodded, then suddenly realized something and was startled.
"Wait! ...The old geezer you dreamed about earlier, who made you the master of the supernatural, was he wearing a white coat?"
He had already imagined yet another conspiracy.
As it turns out, being the master of the eerie things here is not a good thing.
I wouldn't even be a dog.
Yu Shuang must not make a big mistake because of a little temptation.
Yu Shuang was taken aback. "No, not at all."
What dreams are there? What old men are there?
Lin Mu glanced at Yu Shuang's previously injured foot, his expression extremely serious.
"Let's not let a little bit of success lull us into a false sense of security; there might be an even bigger trap waiting ahead."
"Well... I know what I'm doing..."
...
The two returned to the safe house as dusk fell.
Seeing some people looking listless and full of resentment, you don't need to guess to know that someone else must be in trouble.
When Yu Yan saw the two return, she immediately fixed her gaze on Lin Mu, her face filled with shock.
"Lin Mu!? You're still alive?!"
The other people also looked incredulous.
For a moment, Zhou Ya's surprised face showed an unnatural expression.
Impossible!! He actually came back alive!?
Will the things I've painstakingly hidden be exposed?
When Lin Mu looked over, she avoided his gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.
In the game world, she was always in the wrong. She was selfish and cowardly, and did something truly disheartening…
Lin Mu looked away in disgust, no longer bothering to spare her a single glance.
One thing at a time. Helping was his choice, and he's taking responsibility for the consequences. But that doesn't mean he'll forgive unconditionally.
Damn it, I hate people who are so disloyal the most!
People are already eagerly asking what happened to Lin Mu? Why didn't the other person return? And how did he and Yu Shuang run into each other? ...
Lin Mu briefly and concisely explained the situation.
They exchanged information again and learned the situation at the scene. My heart sank to the bottom. More people had died... two more...
They weren't idle that day; some were already trying to make contact with the monsters here and build goodwill towards them.
Unfortunately, they either died or gained nothing...
Even if they knew the three strange preferences, would they still turn on each other and try to please them?
The clues suggest that one likes to drink blood, one likes to eat human flesh, and one likes to eat souls.
What should I do?
Weren't there supposed to be three mysterious figures? How come we've only seen one? The other two haven't even given them a chance to gain favor.
Is there something big brewing up behind us?
In any case, trying to please the supernatural is not going to work.
After two days, everyone had figured out the general way to survive.
As long as you don't do anything reckless and just wait patiently until the time runs out, the chances of surviving are still quite high.
"Lin Mu, anyway, congratulations on coming back alive. You have no idea, after you all perished, someone wasn't worried at all, and even had the leisure to take a beauty nap..."
Yu Yan seized the opportunity to sow discord among others, glancing smugly at where Yu Shuang was.
Oh! Where is Yu Shuang?
In a corner far from the crowd.
Yu Shuang glanced at the trembling female ghost on the ground and said impatiently:
"Spit it out."
