The dungeon players looked up at the two people sitting in the corner, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay. One was expressionless, looking decisive and indifferent, while the other would immediately reveal a sinister and terrifying smile the moment their eyes met, making them shudder.
In comparison, Ye Tianxuan's side appeared exceptionally kind and approachable.
With life and death looming before them, and having endured so much suffering, if they suddenly choose to die now, wouldn't all the pain they've suffered have been for nothing?
"Go, untie them, let them think it over and make a choice." Ye Tianxuan raised his hand, signaling Zhong Mu to untie the ropes.
A group of people who had regained their freedom of movement looked at Ye Tianxuan in confusion, then turned to look at Yin Xiu in the corner.
Since things had developed to this point, Yin Xiu had no choice but to cooperate by drawing his knife and making a symbolic threat.
Upon seeing the two men radiating danger in the corner, the players immediately trembled and huddled closer to Ye Tianxuan. It took some courage to give up their suicide attempt.
So the previously reluctant players could only obediently stand beside Ye Tianxuan and timidly say, "We choose... to join the town."
Now that no one is instigating or inspiring them to rebel, and no one is leading them, they are a bunch of headless flies who can only cling to the players in the town, or go to Yin Xiu's side to die.
"Okay." Ye Tianxuan nodded lightly. "Do you still remember the rules you saw in the town before? They wrote down the rules on how to survive in the town. Just follow them and don't break the rules, or you'll be sent there too."
Ye Tianxuan pointed at Yin Xiu again.
The players looked at Yin Xiu, still feeling fear, and nodded hastily, "Understood."
This solves the internal problems of the town; now all that's left is the external problem of the monsters.
But if the other party doesn't show up, they're helpless, and all they can do is wait.
The town is united and has killed all the monsters from outside. No dungeon boss can shake the current state of the town. If Lady Night and the others want to do something more, they will definitely come to the town in person.
"Everyone, go back to sleep. You're all exhausted today, so get some rest." After finishing everything, Ye Tianxuan dismissed everyone and sent them away.
Mu He hadn't left yet and stayed temporarily. Zhong Mu looked at Mu He, who hadn't been provided with a place to stay in town, feeling helpless. After much internal struggle, he decided to take him back to his own place.
Yin Xiu led Li Mo back to his room. Since the town was now a dungeon, Li Mo could move around freely in the town.
He seemed quite happy to be back in his room in the small town where Yin Xiu had lived.
After everyone had made their arrangements, Ye Tianxuan was the only one left standing at the door.
"Since there's no one here, I'll…" Ye Tianxuan tiptoed to the edge of the town.
The town was quiet at night. Apart from a few people left to keep watch, most people had gone to sleep peacefully after a long day.
Yin Xiu and Ye Tianxuan returned to the town. They no longer had to live in fear at night like before. This night would be the most comfortable night's sleep they had had in a long time.
Ye Tianxuan made his way to the edge of the town in the dark. The road beyond the bus station was blocked by darkness, and he could not see anything but a dark expanse that blended into the night.
Ye Tianxuan checked the time, then looked at the darkness, and sat on the edge to wait.
Before long, some strange creatures, some humanoid and some non-human, crawled out of the darkness. Some of them were humanoid, while others were inhuman. They all exuded a twisted and terrifying aura. Their ferocious eyes swept around and noticed Ye Tianxuan sitting at the bus stop.
Ye Tianxuan looked up and met their gazes, smiling and squinting his eyes, "Good evening."
The moment their eyes met, the twisted monsters pounced excitedly, engulfing Ye Tianxuan.
"You little brat!! You're finally alive!!!"
"I almost thought you were really dead! I even felt it was a pity!"
"I never expected you to come back to life during this period. I think you can't live without your town! You come back to life whenever the town is in danger!"
Ye Tianxuan chuckled and patted the monsters on his body. "It's because everyone can't let me go. I've come back from the underworld."
He smiled as he looked at the monsters, some of the more friendly side bosses he had met in the dungeon, who could be considered friends.
"By the way, Yin Xiu is getting along well with the town now. Although the dungeon has become strange, I believe he will live a normal life in the future. The main thing is that I am unlikely to die again now. Give me back the things I gave you before." Ye Tianxuan reached out to ask for them. "These things are a few years old. Yin Xiu probably won't need them anymore."
"Oh~ you told us to give this to Yin Xiu if we could see him." The monsters all pulled out a recording pen from their bodies. "But unfortunately, we haven't seen Yin Xiu yet, and we haven't been able to give him this."
"During the time you were away, we considered whether to go to him and give him this, but we were too scared to go because he was too terrifying, and there were also some restrictions in the dungeon. We never expected that the town would be entered into the dungeon and we could come to the town now."
"Yes... I never thought we'd come to this town again."
Ye Tianxuan reached out and took the recording pens one by one, letting out a sigh of relief. "It's better not to give them to him. These are all things from the past, and the information is no longer useful to Yin Xiu. Besides, some of the cheesy words were better left unreleased."
A few years ago, these might have been considered caring words, based on the premise that Ye Tianxuan was dead. Now, they're like looking at a dark history, and he has to take them back quickly.
"So there are some cheesy things in the other voice recorders? Let me hear them?" Yin Xiu's voice suddenly came from the side.
Ye Tianxuan turned his head and saw that Yin Xiu was standing in the darkness not far from them, with the dark-skinned man standing next to him.
The monsters trembled at the sight of the two people, but Ye Tianxuan nervously clutched the recording pen, saying, "This is an old thing, a dark history, I can't listen to it."
"I'm only listening because I can't stand it." Yin Xiu patted Li Mo and pointed at Ye Tianxuan, "Snatch it from me."
Li Mo smiled slightly, "Okay, boyfriend."
There's nothing my boyfriend can't get.
The recording pen that Ye Tianxuan was holding tightly was suddenly snatched away by something invisible and fell into Li Mo's hands in the blink of an eye, where it was respectfully handed over to Yin Xiu.
Ye Tianxuan forced a smile, gritting his teeth, "You heartless little thing, now you only have eyes for your boyfriend."
He even tried so hard to help him before!
