His best tools right now are active and passive attacks. Although they are not as strong as Yin Xiu's, they are still enough to kill them if he has to risk his life.
But the players didn't take him seriously at all. "Even if you kill us now, Yin Xiu will still be in deep trouble. He won't be able to leave this instance alive."
The players felt a chill for a moment, but they still didn't take the newcomer seriously.
"Without Yin Xiu, what are you, a newbie? You can only watch him die here! And then you'll soon die in this instance too, and then nobody can leave."
Several players burst into laughter, their mocking remarks ringing out.
Zhong Mu's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.
If Boss Ye were here, or Ya Ya, Li Mo, or anyone else, they could probably help Brother Xiu even more.
But he was really useless. He had learned so much about the town and cleared several dungeons, but he still couldn't be independent. In the end, he still had to rely on Brother Xiu to adventure through the dungeons.
But he still has a way to rescue Brother Xiu.
"Who says I can only watch Brother Xiu die?" As if he had made up his mind, Zhong Mu's eyes were resolute as he took out the small dagger from his pocket again.
Several players quickly took a few steps back, wary of him.
"Indeed, I'm the only newcomer who came in with him. He has no help from me, no items, and he's not in his right mind… But even if he's alone in the dangerous dungeon, as long as the message can be sent, someone will do everything they can to save Brother Xiu."
Several players stared at him blankly, muttering to themselves, then raised the daggers in their hands, but not towards them, but towards themselves.
The players were taken aback.
"Is this player crazy? Why is he pointing a knife at himself?"
"I don't think I'm of any help. Shall we just prepare to die together?"
"As expected, he's a useless rookie."
Zhong Mu ignored their mocking voices and took a deep breath to calm his trembling.
His gaze was fixed on the knife in his hand, and he prayed desperately, "Please, Ya Ya, even if you're Xiu Ge's tool, you're still connected to me. You shouldn't be blocked, right? You can get out, right?"
His breathing was a little unsteady, but he tried hard to control it.
Ya Ya is Yin Xiu's tool, but this instance blocks all tools.
Zhong Mu, who is the only one who can use items, can only summon items that belong to him; Ya Ya is not his item.
Based on that single note alone, Zhong Mu couldn't be sure whether Ya Ya would come out because of him, but he wanted to give it a try.
Ya Ya, who only appears because of him in extremely dangerous situations, would be the best candidate to save Xiu Ge.
However, Zhong Mu has Mu He's heart, so he cannot rely on the people around him to enter such an extremely dangerous state in a short time. Therefore, if there is no danger, Zhong Mu has to create danger himself.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and steeled himself, stabbing the knife into his heart.
In the strange world of the cabin, Ya Ya was taking a big bite of the cookie her mother had made for her. Just as she was about to savor it, she suddenly vanished from her seat. The suddenness of the act even startled Li Mo, who was sitting opposite her.
"Where did she go?" Li Mo turned to look at the cat with the white collar next to him.
"Meow~ Meow meow meow..." the mother cat replied in a low voice.
"But I didn't sense my boyfriend entering the dungeon. Ya Ya didn't notice either..." Li Mo stood up, puzzled. Without thinking too much about it, she quickly straightened her collar, picked up a large bouquet of flowers she had gathered, and happily prepared to go find her boyfriend.
Ya Ya, who suddenly appeared in the corridor of the mental hospital, was still confused. She stood in front of several players with half a pancake in her hand, chewing on the pancake while turning her head to look at Zhong Mu, who was lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his heart.
She was startled, then quickly stuffed the pancakes into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and ran over, shouting, "Zhongmu Gege! Are you alright?"
She pulled the dagger out with her small hand and threw it aside, then pressed it onto the wound. A green light surrounded it, slowly healing the wound.
"Where did this weird thing come from?" Several players nearby stepped back, seeing this player suddenly go crazy and stab himself in the chest. Then this little girl in the red dress appeared here. Obviously, she was not a person.
Ya Ya turned her head and glared at them fiercely. She hurriedly swallowed the biscuit in her mouth and said in a harsh voice, "What are you ugly things doing here? Did you stab Brother Zhong Mu?"
"Nonsense! He clearly stabbed himself! Who knows what got into him!" The players were utterly speechless.
"I don't care! You guys are here, it must be related to you! You dare to hurt Brother Zhong Mu, you're asking for death!"
The little girl in the red dress in front of them looked adorable and even had a healing quality, but when she opened her mouth, she was extremely fierce. What was even more terrifying was that her adorable appearance instantly transformed into a terrifying monster, which lunged at them fiercely.
The corridor was filled with screams of agony, so heart-wrenching that no player dared to show their face, lest they encounter the same inexplicable fate as last night, being inexplicably attacked by a level four player.
"Brother Zhong Mu, are you alright? Your wounds should be healed by now, right?" After cleaning up the things on the ground, Ya Ya turned around and squatted down next to Zhong Mu, pressing her hand against his chest and shaking him.
"Stop shaking me... The wound is healed, but it still hurts." Zhong Mu muttered, her face pale.
He slowly got up from the ground, feeling like he had just escaped death, but when he heard Ya Ya's voice, he felt much relieved. He had made the right bet after all.
"Don't worry about me for now." Zhong Mu pointed to the mental area next to them and carefully explained to Ya Ya what was happening in the dungeon.
"This awful instance! It blocked me! I didn't even know my brother was in the instance!" Ya Ya, hands on her hips, angrily turned to walk towards the madhouse area, but before leaving, she glanced back at Zhong Mu, "Are you alright here all by yourself?"
"I'm fine. I have a really powerful new gadget. I have something else protecting me." Zhong Mu patted her head. "Go find Brother Xiu. He needs you more right now."
"Okay." Ya Ya responded, turned around, grabbed the iron fence of the mental hospital area, and pried it open to both sides to create a width that she could pass through easily.
Zhong Mu stared silently at the massive iron fence. It was indeed a strange thing; it looked small and cute on the outside, but it was incredibly strong.
But with Ya Ya here, she'll be able to help Xiu Ge a lot. I wonder if Ya Ya's arrival will bring Xiu Ge's boyfriend along too...
In the blood-red, distorted madhouse, Yin Xiu sat lifelessly in his wheelchair, his head drooping. His eyes were dull and lifeless; he had not yet awakened from his hallucinations and was completely dazed, unable to distinguish anything around him.
The door to his ward was slowly pushed open, and a black figure appeared in the doorway.
The dark figure stood there holding a large bouquet of bright red flowers, and the visual color alone unconsciously attracted Yin Xiu's attention.
His unfocused pupils slowly moved toward it, hazy and unclear. In his daze, he seemed to see a black monster blocking the way with a bunch of flowers in its mouth, and then letting out a joyful shout.
"Boyfriend, what are you doing sitting here?"
