There were cleaning tools readily available in the room, placed in the most conspicuous spot, probably prepared specifically for him.
Filled with grief and indignation, and suppressing the churning in his stomach, he began cleaning with utmost seriousness…
At this moment, monsters don't seem scary anymore... Aren't monsters just something humans created...?
What's terrifying is the human heart; what's terrifying is the harmful rules of this world!
He carefully sorted everything, gently comforting these non-existent spirits and telling them to rest in peace.
If he gets a chance to get out, he'll make that mad scientist pay the price!
As he was scrubbing the floor, the light suddenly flickered, the light changing from bright to dim...
The atmosphere began to turn strange.
The bloodstains on the ground were also restlessly changing their state.
Bloody footprints approached him one by one, each step, each step, the devil's pace...
Lin Mu's eyes dimmed, but he continued wiping the floor as if he hadn't noticed anything, and also wiped away the footprints of the shoes that were near him.
Hehehehe…
The eerie, sinister laughter seemed to have a reverberation effect, echoing throughout the space.
Lin Mu spoke in a heavy tone.
"You're the eldest daughter of the Red Clan, aren't you? I know you..."
The eldest daughter of the Red Clan, who was hiding in the shadows and had decided to tease the boy on a whim, was momentarily stunned.
After all, this is someone the boss protects; as long as no taboos are broken, she naturally wouldn't intentionally harm them.
She likes to eat meat, but she's not so desperate as to eat anything that way.
I just thought he was funny, and I was just teasing him within the rules.
I remember this kid was playing a game before, and he was clearly terrified by her appearance, but he still tried to stay calm and acted like a coward.
How come people's mental fortitude has become so hardcore these days?
Even those minor incidents from before couldn't scare him anymore?
He also said he knew her…
Did the boss pull some strings for him?
Lin Mu: "I know you were all forced into becoming puppets here."
Hong Changnu was taken aback. This kid even knew this?
What exactly is the relationship between the boss and this kid?
"So harming people wasn't your intention. The real culprit is that madman who turned you into monsters here! You're just like us, pitiful victims... So, don't try to scare me..."
The eldest daughter fell silent…
Suddenly, a warning flashed in his mind, and a strange, almost programmed smile appeared on his face.
Ugh, so annoying, I have to work again!
We haven't even finished arguing with this kid yet...
Lin Mu spoke for a long time but received no response. Instead, the room returned to its bright and normal state.
It must be that the eldest daughter of the Red Clan has passed away.
He wondered how much the other person had heard. He sighed and refocused his attention on his current task.
...
Meanwhile, in the room where Yu Yan was.
Zhou Ya stared at Yu Yan in disbelief.
She gripped a piece of paper tightly in her hand, her fingers losing some color from the force, and her whole body trembled with anger.
"Yu Yan! I never expected you to be the one hiding the deepest secret!... You used a prop to steal my trump card and even made me take a knife for you, breaking a taboo! How could there be such a vicious woman in the world?!... Ah!..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly grabbed by the eldest daughter in red, and amidst her shrill screams, she still managed to leave behind a curse.
"You'll die a horrible death!! Yu Yan!!..."
The only eyewitness at the scene, Li Jun, frowned and looked at Yu Yan with an unprecedentedly unfamiliar gaze.
He has absolutely no moral bottom line. If he stays with Yu Yan any longer, he might just become the next Zhou Ya.
He made a quick decision, picked up his luggage, and strode towards the door.
Yu Yan found it hard to believe that Li Jun would leave her at this time.
"Li Jun, where are you going?! Do you think it's my fault? Is there even a right or wrong in this world? It's either her or me, I just want to live. What did I do wrong?!"
Li Junyi opened the door to the room without hesitation, without stopping for her.
Yu Yan was so angry that she chased after him.
"I now have a life-saving item that makes me immune to monster attacks. With such a favorable condition, you still want to leave me? Are you stupid?! Come back here! Come back!..."
In her last sentence, she became somewhat hysterical, shouting at Li Jun's disappearing figure:
You'll regret this!
...
A room on the 3rd floor.
The lights began to flicker again, the window was suddenly flung open, and an unidentified object darted in like lightning.
The floor that Lin Mu had just cleaned was now covered in blood again.
The eldest daughter of the red-haired family returned and bit off her prey's arm, causing the prey to let out a shrill scream.
Lin Mu was stunned by this sudden turn of events and remained frozen in place for a long time, unable to calm down.
"Ah! Help! Help me!... Lin Mu! Lin Mu!... Help me... You're a good person!! Ah—"
In her despair, Zhou Ya saw a familiar face and, as if grasping at the last straw, frantically begged Lin Mu for help.
Save her? How?
He'd only be a scapegoat if he went up there.
The bizarre phenomenon of being manipulated by rules is beyond one's control, like a pre-programmed sequence that will never stop.
What appeared to be a terrifying scene revealed a deeper aspect to him.
Although it was thrilling to watch, it wasn't as mindlessly frightening as before.
Fortunately, Zhou Ya stopped howling after a short while. The eldest daughter in the red dress also stopped her frantic movements.
She gave Lin Mu a strange smile.
"You know me, so you should know how strong and terrifying I am. Stop looking at me with pity, and worry about yourself instead."
