"Yeah, I miss you." Yin Xiu replied perfunctorily, reaching out to grab the struggling little tentacle, pulling it out forcefully and shaking it in his hand.
Before Yin Xiu could check on the flattened tentacles, Li Mo reached out and took them back, merging them into his body.
"Now my boyfriend's attention should be on me, right?" Li Mo curled his lips into a smile in the night, even though he always unconsciously exuded a sinister aura, which Yin Xiu had gotten used to.
"How has the situation been on the island these past three days?" Yin Xiu, facing his ardent gaze, leisurely shifted his eyes elsewhere, observing the movements of the hunters who had come ashore.
"Everything's fine." Li Mo replied, taking a slow step forward, almost filling all the space in front of Yin Xiu. "Has my boyfriend been thinking about me these past three days?"
His words reminded Yin Xiu of the fish he had been fishing for three days without success, so he frowned and sighed.
He sighed, and Li Mo fell silent.
Not only does her boyfriend not want to see her, but he also sighs when he's around her, as if he really doesn't want to see her.
It had only been three days since they last saw each other, but her boyfriend's attitude towards her was as cold as if they had been divorced for three years.
Li Mo choked slightly, her mind racing as she considered how to win back her human boyfriend's heart. This was incredibly difficult for her!
As soon as the surroundings quieted down, Yin Xiu noticed some footsteps approaching, which seemed to be the sounds of hunters.
He suddenly remembered that a few nights ago, there were some scattered players and players from Town 114 wandering around the island, which attracted some hunters with locators. But now the scattered players have been hidden by Zhong Mu, and only a small number of players from Town 114 are still wandering around outside like headless flies. With so many hunters scattered, there will always be hunters attracted by the presence of Yin Xiu.
He was fine as long as he kept moving around to kill the hunters, as he wouldn't easily attract their attention. Even if he was discovered, it would only be when the hunters were close enough to be killed, so it wouldn't have much of an impact.
However, staying in one place for too long does attract hunters, especially since it's unknown how many players will be out and about tonight.
"Hunters are coming." Yin Xiu muttered in a low voice. Judging from the footsteps, there were quite a few. Counting the number of people, he really couldn't reveal his player identity here. He hadn't completed the player storyline yet, and he couldn't give the monsters all the necessary conditions. He had to keep up the act.
But it's not a good idea to run away with Li Mo now, as it will still arouse suspicion.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Yin Xiu grabbed Li Mo by the collar, then turned around and pinned him against a tree.
The leaves rustled down, and Li Mo's mind went blank for a moment. He stared at Yin Xiu, who was pinning him against the tree trunk, and a hint of excitement flickered in his pupils. He knew this! In human behavior, this was called... tree, tree slam!
She did it to someone she likes! Looks like her boyfriend still likes her!
Just as Li Mo finished being excited, several hunters gradually appeared around them. As soon as they arrived, they saw Yin Xiuzheng, dressed in hunter's clothes, pressing a sinister and eerie man with a perverted smile against a tree trunk. They were stunned for several seconds and couldn't react to what was going on.
"I checked the locator; there should be a player here..."
"I only came here because I saw there was another player here. How come it's that big shot and... that scary thing that's been hanging around the island lately?"
"Um... if I don't see any players around... that means..."
The hunters were stunned, staring at Li Mo for a long time. This terrifying creature was actually a player?!
Wearing a hunter's mask, Yin Xiu grabbed Li Mo's collar and said, "I saw a suspicious person walking around here, so I came over. I didn't expect it to be a player?"
Given that Yin Xiu was dressed as a hunter and considering the previous impressions, and if there were other people around, the hunters wouldn't suddenly suspect that he was a player. However, since the locator only showed one player, Li Mo, who was next to Yin Xiu, would be the best substitute for that identity.
"What players?" Li Mo looked up at the hunters who had come out to disturb their atmosphere, his eyes instantly turning gloomy.
She had finally managed to meet her boyfriend, but they were alone together in the dim light of night. She had just been pinned down by a tree by her boyfriend when a few troublesome predators came out and disturbed her. She was very unhappy.
Upon being glared at by Li Mo, the hunters timidly took a step back.
"Is...is this really a player?"
"I saw him eat a hunter alive... He didn't seem like a player at all! I never thought he was a player! Are players these days this terrifying?!"
"This must be... a special case, right?"
"I...I don't know. Looking at the locator, this should be a player, right?" The hunters looked at the locator and it did indeed show the location of a player. If there was no one else around, then this strange man was the only player.
Seeing the hunters becoming uneasy and panicked, Yin Xiu calmly said, "Don't worry, I've already caught him, he can't escape for now."
Li Mo looked down at Yin Xiu. He understood. His boyfriend needed his cooperation, so he had to obediently pretend to be caught.
After gradually understanding everything, countless sinister and terrifying tentacles suddenly appeared behind Li Mo, then suddenly wrapped around Yin Xiu, hugging him tightly. A smile appeared on his face, and he shouted perfunctorily, "Ah—I've been caught by a terrible hunter, and I can't move at all."
"What's going on? This is too strong—"
Faced with his calm and unperturbed surprise, the hunters were thoughtful and lost in thought.
It looks like the big hunter is being entangled by him, doesn't it?
Yin Xiu coughed lightly, and facing the deafening silence of the hunters, he said calmly, "This is the effect of my strange artifact. That's how it works. He really can't escape now."
After a few seconds of silence, the hunter slowly nodded. Although he still didn't quite believe it, if the big shot said so, then so be it! It seemed to explain why this big shot was able to kill Yin Xiu; he must have some skill and some powerful tools! Makes sense!
"By the way, his strange appearance is probably caused by his player items, like... a mutation or something similar." Yin Xiu explained Li Mo's terrifying appearance again.
"Oh—" the hunters responded, seemingly understanding, and everything became clear and understandable after the leader's explanation.
"So you guys go find other players, don't worry about this." Yin Xiu turned to look at the sky. "Tonight is our last night of hunting, everyone need to work hard."
"Okay, okay." The hunters quickly responded, not wanting to linger in front of this monster player, fearing that if the big boss lost control, this twisted creature would pounce and devour them.
Dying once is one thing, but the psychological trauma left behind can never be erased for a lifetime.
