After hiding the items, Yin Xiu prepared to go and check out the most bustling place nearby.
They had barely taken off their equipment and taken two steps when they felt a faint sense of vision emanating from the pitch-black surroundings. It was as if countless eyes were lurking in the shadows, watching them and slowly approaching with a dangerous killing intent.
"Boyfriend." Li Mo suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yin Xiu's hand, pointed into the darkness beside them, and smiled nonchalantly, "Should I go kill them?"
He didn't like his boyfriend being stared at constantly; he disliked the intense and malicious gazes he received.
"No, I want to use them to check out the players' headquarters in Town 114." Yin Xiu turned around and instructed Li Mo in advance, "When they arrive, don't make a move, understand? Pretend to be weak."
"Pretend to be weak? How do I do that?" Li Mo encountered a difficult problem.
"...Just don't make a move, that should be fine." Yin Xiu nodded casually, deciding that not responding to the other party's provocation should be enough.
"If I obediently pretend to be weak, will my boyfriend kiss me?" Li Mo seized the opportunity to suggest a reward.
Yin Xiu silently turned back and stared at him. This person was always trying to gain some advantage from him in dangerous dungeons.
"Do you like kissing me that much? Can you feel the pleasure of kissing?" Yin Xiu was puzzled. In his opinion, Li Mo's behavior of asking for kisses was like a child who had tasted the sweetness of candy and would keep asking for more, but perhaps he did not understand the meaning of kissing among humans.
That tenderness and passionate love hidden within it.
"I don't know, but I really like kissing my boyfriend." Li Mo tiptoed forward, hugged Yin Xiu and pressed his arm against hers, his movements careful and gentle, as if he was doing everything he could to be good to Yin Xiu.
It's quite remarkable that a monster in human form could mimic and learn human emotions and behaviors to this extent.
Beneath the monster's skin lies a soul; perhaps, even if it doesn't fully understand human emotions, it can still resonate with him?
Yin Xiu didn't quite understand, but he still leaned in and kissed the sinister and terrifying man, feeling the surge of excitement beneath his disguise. Every emotional fluctuation he felt was caused by him.
No human being could resist someone who is completely devoted to them, right?
"Holy crap! There's Nantong!" The players who were secretly watching from afar were shocked to see the two men standing in the darkness suddenly kiss each other.
"Help! I'm here to arrest someone! Not to see Nantong kissing! I can't take it!" A straight man screamed in terror, covering his eyes, his fragile heart shaken.
"Um... I think it's alright, at least they're both pretty good-looking, aren't they?" The player who said this immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and the people next to him were giving him complicated looks.
"You little brat...you wouldn't happen to be... too..."
"No, no, I'm totally straight!" he quickly shouted in defense. "I just think they're a good match. He's tall and handsome, a perfect match. There are very few couples like that in Nantong!"
He fell silent after speaking, and his teammates around him gave him even stranger looks, but he decided not to say anything more.
"Alright, let's hurry up and catch them, otherwise if we get back late, the boss will turn us into little wooden figures and torture us." The other players urged them on, and the people around them changed their expressions and rushed over, stepping through the darkness towards the two people.
Yin Xiu heard their commotion and sensed their approaching killing intent, but he casually took a step back, wiped his mouth, and pretended nothing was wrong as he turned around and continued walking.
It's perfect timing that they're here. He didn't want to search the whole island for their base. Now that he's here, he can hitch a ride.
They had only taken two steps when several figures suddenly sprang out of the surrounding weeds, surrounding Yin Xiu and Li Mo. Each of them held a sharp weapon and shouted, "Don't move!"
Yin Xiu stopped silently, and Li Mo, who was happily bubbling around in a daze, also stopped. The two of them stood together, staring straight at the people around them.
"I'm warning you, don't move! If you dare to move, I'll kill you!" one of them threatened as he took two steps closer to them. Only when he got closer could they see what the two men looked like.
"Wow, you have good eyesight! You saw him from that far away, he really is handsome!" The person who saw him clearly recognized Yin Xiu and immediately gave the other person a thumbs up with a smile, "Good taste!"
"Right!" The other one nodded immediately, very satisfied.
The others all had dark faces. Damn, another person from Nantong had joined the team. It was kind of scary.
"Never mind, you go away, I'll go check it out." Another person stepped forward, his position closer to Li Mo. As soon as he got to Li Mo's side, he suddenly sensed danger.
The person in front of him stood motionless, his black figure almost blending into the night, with only a section of his neck and face visible. Only when he got closer did he suddenly recognize the smile on that face from the darkness.
It was a delicate and handsome face, but it wore a sinister and eerie smile. The corners of his mouth remained motionless, and his eyes did not blink. The frozen smile instantly evoked a sense of horror, causing the player to stumble back a step, "What the hell! That scared me to death!!"
The others immediately stepped forward warily, weapons in hand, staring at Li Mo and Yin Xiu. One was expressionless, the other wore a strange smile. Neither of them looked normal in the darkness! They were sure to scare passersby half to death.
"What the hell are you two! Are you hunters?!" they yelled, their voices filled with panic. They felt as if they had accidentally disturbed something terrifying on the island, and for a moment they were unsure whether the other party was a player.
Yin Xiu considered that he would be meeting that boy later. Although he had never seen his face, he had heard his voice. Afraid of giving himself away, he didn't open his mouth. He nudged Li Mo with his elbow to signal him to answer.
Upon receiving the signal, Li Mo straightened her expression and smiled seriously, "My boyfriend said we are players."
People around: ...
Who talks about their boyfriend like that? Don't go overboard with showing off your relationship.
"Alright, if they're players, take them back. That's what the boss ordered. We won't worry about anything else. The boss can handle it himself anyway. Let's go!" The others surrounded them and directed them to move in one direction.
Yin Xiu cooperated and walked forward, preparing to go and check on their headquarters. He glanced back, worried that Li Mo might not have followed.
Turning around, he saw Li Mo standing there, staring at the players around him with a threatening smile. The players standing on Li Mo's side kept their distance from him, not wanting to get close at all. Although they were carrying weapons, they were still very afraid of the unarmed Li Mo and did not dare to touch him at all. They just made a show of force from a distance, urging him to move forward.
The more afraid they were, the wider the smile on Li Mo's face became, making those people even more terrified.
It's really terrifying. Some kind of humanoid monster is staring at them and smiling. The smile is getting bigger and more terrifying. Their scalps are tingling. They want to turn around and run away. They can't stay in this dungeon for even a second longer.
Seeing the stalemate, Yin Xiu clapped his hands, attracting Li Mo's attention.
Then he beckoned with his finger, indicating that he should come over.
Then, the other players saw the terrifying humanoid monster that had terrified them quickly go to the expressionless player's side, becoming obedient and docile, and even the ho
rrifying smile on its face seemed to turn into a happy smile in an instant.
What a weird pair!
