"So there's something this terrifying inside the dungeon? Is the dungeon formed because of it?" The players' minds couldn't quite process it, so they just made a note of it.
I feel like they've gotten a little closer to the real background of the game.
The players hurriedly took notes, while Yin Xiu stared intently at the chalk drawing on the blackboard.
Monsters formed from offerings...
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes, "Shouldn't that...be black?"
The players immediately turned to stare at Yin Xiu. "What? Brother Xiu, you've been there?"
Yin Xiu silently shook his head, "No... I don't think so, I have no recollection of it."
Even as he said this, staring at the drawn white area, he inexplicably felt that it should be black... a dark and cold place...
"Hiss..." Yin Xiu frowned, feeling a bit uncomfortable in his head, so he immediately got up and turned to go somewhere else to enjoy the sea breeze. Anyway, he could just listen to the lecture.
Li Mo, who was sitting next to him, immediately got up and followed.
Ya Ya was about to follow, but after running two steps, her aunt stopped her and picked her up, saying, "Why are you all wet? Come here and warm up by the fire."
"But brother..." Ya Ya was about to say something when her aunt fed her a small spoonful of soup.
"Try it for your aunt and see how it tastes."
Ya Ya smacked her lips, then smiled and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
Then she forgot about her brother and went to have soup with her aunt.
Yin Xiu followed the edge of the crack in the school to a spot near the sea. He stood on the edge of the broken floor and looked down at the shimmering sea.
After killing the monster, the wind on the sea gradually subsided, and the sky returned to its clear color. Yin Xiu's mind cleared up instantly, and he remembered Ye Tianxuan and his purpose in coming to this instance.
He clearly wanted to help Ye Tianxuan escape this instance, but he ended up getting into trouble as soon as he entered, and in the end, Ye Tianxuan helped him instead.
The monster that overflows into the town affects people's perceptions, alters their memories, and has an appearance similar to the monster form of Limo, all of which undoubtedly make it a part of Limo.
He hadn't paid much attention at first, but there were many secrets in the instance, and Li Mo had many secrets as well.
But when the teacher mentioned the relationship between the dungeon and the town, he suddenly realized that the so-called monster living in the center of the dungeon should be Li Mo.
Judging from the teacher's description, these strange creatures do not like that monster. The so-called seal seems to be meant to imprison it. And Li Mo is indeed very dangerous, dangerous enough to have a great impact on people.
If a replica is like this, what about the original?
"What's wrong?" Li Mo's voice rang out from behind him. He still had that smile on his face and was quietly approaching Yin Xiu with an inhuman aura.
From the moment he appeared, Li Mo made no attempt to hide the fact that he was a monster, and Yin Xiu had always known this, but... he had never imagined that his true form would be such a dangerous existence.
Even the existence of copies extends outwards from his original body.
"Are you really in danger?" Yin Xiu turned to look at him, gazing at that face, his feelings indescribable, like the complex mix of Ye Tianxuan's death and the possibility of saving him.
"I don't know." Li Mo smiled faintly. "I don't know what they're thinking. I've just lived there ever since I became conscious. What she just said is something I'm hearing for the first time."
He pondered, "No wonder I couldn't move freely in the dungeon before... was that a seal?"
Seeing Yin Xiu staring at him silently, Li Mo's smile faded, and she pursed her lips. "Boyfriend, do you hate me because I'm dangerous?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, stepped forward, and hugged Li Mo.
He felt the person's cold body temperature, felt the person's heartless chest. Having spent every day with this person, he knew better than anyone that this was not a human being.
Yin Xiu said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if it's a monster... I don't want to lose anything anymore. Even if it's a monster, I don't care. You just need to stay by my side."
One of his few remaining connections had just been severed, and he would have to do everything in his power to make up for it. He was terrified that he would lose even more along the long road ahead, until he ended up with nothing.
Monsters are actually better, aren't they?
The most dangerous and powerful, causing all the monsters in the dungeon to resist, means that this person will not die so easily.
Faced with Yin Xiu's embrace, Li Mo smiled again and nudged his head against his, saying, "I will always stay by your side, as long as you don't leave me first."
"Hmm…" Yin Xiu responded softly.
The sea breeze gently swept across the broken edges of the school, caressing the two people embracing. It seemed that at this moment, what touched each other was no longer just their outward appearance, but their deeper souls.
After a moment of silence, Li Mo's deep voice suddenly rang out above Yin Xiu's head, "Then can I be your boyfriend?"
Yin Xiu opened his eyes abruptly, took a step back expressionlessly, and said, "No."
When his arms suddenly felt empty, Li Mo was at a loss. It was one thing that they couldn't be boyfriend and girlfriend, but now he couldn't even hug her.
"But I still have a kiss as a reward."
When he mentioned it, Yin Xiu remembered that when he hadn't fully recovered his senses, he had been fooled by Li Mo and thought that they were boyfriend and girlfriend and that kissing shouldn't be a problem.
Now that I've come to my senses, I realize that what boyfriend I was talking about was just a one-sided term.
But... the other party did help me, so it seems a bit unfair to them to say I should reward them.
Yin Xiu carefully raised his head, "A reward is fine, but a boyfriend is not."
Why not?
"Why do you insist on being my boyfriend? Do you even fully understand the human definition of a boyfriend?"
"Maybe… I can't fully understand…" Li Mo's smile froze for a moment, "But Ye Tianxuan said that we can kiss each other freely after we become boyfriends."
"..."
Yin Xiuzhen had no idea what Ye Tianxuan and Li Mo were talking about with their backs turned.
"Anyway, relationships are two-way. Just because you're clingy doesn't mean we have to be boyfriend and girlfriend. It's just that... it's not enough right now." Yin Xiu had never even thought about having a partner before; just surviving in the dungeon was exhausting enough.
People around him die frequently. In such an environment, who knows if he will still be alive tomorrow? A trusting relationship that will support each other for the rest of his life can become a heavy burden that will only bring him a heavy blow one day.
Friends are enough for him. He doesn't need a boyfriend yet. Having friends, having people to help and trust each other, is enough to satisfy his spiritual needs. He doesn't need a boyfriend for the time being.
Moreover... the monster's structure... seems unbearable for humans.
For now, friends are enough, that's what Yin Xiu thinks.
