Yin Xiu turned around and gazed leisurely at 408, neither sitting down nor leaving, his indifferent demeanor suggesting he might depart at any moment.
408, impatient and afraid that he might suddenly lose interest in the topic, quickly said, "Abnormal monsters refer to those that are unwilling to cooperate with other monsters in dungeons! Because they have nowhere to go, they are all locked up! There are not many of these kinds of monsters in dungeons, and very few players will find them."
Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you unwilling to cooperate with other monsters in the dungeon?"
408 paused for a moment, then said, "Take me out and I'll tell you. What if I finish telling you and you just leave me here again?"
He was still being cautious, but Yin Xiu ignored his caution and turned to leave. Remember 408 shouted loudly, "If you were Yin Xiu, this would be related to your boyfriend! Don't you want to know that?!"
Yin Xiu paused, turned around and stared coldly at 408, "Do your strange affairs still have anything to do with him?"
"He is inextricably linked to the instance, so of course it's related to him." Seeing that Yin Xiu was interested, 408 became more confident. "Originally, I didn't want to deal with players, but if you are willing to take me out of this instance, I will consider telling you everything I know."
408 knew that the dark-skinned man was love-struck. Since the two were a couple, they would probably want to know more about each other.
Yin Xiu seemed to be thinking, "Since you know, then the other imprisoned monsters should also know."
"Wouldn't it tell us if we captured one in the next dungeon?"
408's expression changed. "Have some decency! Stop messing around with other monsters. Is it so hard to just take me out for a bit?"
"I don't want to bring it," Yin Xiu replied lazily, turning to walk out.
"Is it because of my Kongtong that you didn't take me with you?!" 408 shouted from behind. When no one answered him, he secretly followed behind.
"Brother, what does Kongtong mean?" Ya Ya asked, looking up at Yin Xiu with a puzzled expression.
Yin Xiu silently pointed to Zhong Mu, "Ask him, he knows a lot."
"Huh?" Zhong Mu, suddenly called out, looked confused. Under Ya Ya's bewildered gaze, he stammered, "Um... it's just..."
Zhong Mu was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead, and he glanced up at Li Mo.
Li Mo smiled and replied, "I know, I've read it in a book."
Then he pulled Ya Ya aside and whispered to her.
"Brother Xiu, isn't Ya Ya knowing too much at such a young age?" Zhong Mu asked with a worried expression, all out of concern for the child's future development.
Yin Xiu remained calm and composed, saying, "She hears Li Mo call me 'boyfriend' every day and doesn't react at all, so what's there to worry about?"
"That makes sense." Zhong Mu nodded. Moreover, Ya Ya is a monster. She looks like a child, but who knows how long she has survived in the dungeon. She just has a small mind, but she is probably not young.
There aren't many young monsters in dungeons; you'd see almost one in ten dungeons. Ya Ya is one of the rare young monsters.
Zhong Mu was unsure of the exact nature of the monsters in the dungeon, but it was extremely rare for such cub monsters to appear there.
"Oh! So he doesn't like you and your brother, right!" Ya Ya heard Li Mo's mutterings and then suddenly realized, "Could it be that he's following so far away that he doesn't dare to come over at all?"
Ya Ya stood with her hands on her hips. No matter what the reason was that her brother was disliked, the other person must be a bad person, too bad. She was ready to glare at him!
As he walked, 408 saw the little girl in the red dress turn around fiercely and stare at him with her big eyes.
408 paused, wondering if they didn't want him to continue following them and had sent a little girl to threaten him.
408 was caught in a dilemma, but in the end, it gritted its teeth and followed them.
Yin Xiu glanced at the person who had followed behind him out of the corner of his eye, then turned to look at Li Mo, "Don't you remember what he said? The dungeon, and the connection between the monster and you."
"I may know about the connection between the monsters and me, but I don't know about the dungeon." Li Mo lowered his eyes and pondered. "I've spent almost all my time in that darkness and haven't been outside. It was only after you came out that I discovered that my outside world was the dungeon."
Yin Xiu nodded slowly; the information from the monster's mouth was indeed only known to the monster itself.
It seems that the dungeons and monsters are all connected to Li Mo, but Li Mo is just a monster locked in darkness who doesn't even know why he was born. He doesn't know most of the information.
Yin Xiu suddenly remembered that the creature beside him was a small part that had squeezed out from the crack in the door and then merged with a human cub to become what it is now. Its original body was still locked behind that door and had never come out.
Perhaps only by delving into and understanding the strange group can one truly understand everything about Li Mo.
He wanted to understand everything about Li Mo, to know more about him, so that he wouldn't always be influenced by external things and separate from him again.
Yin Xiu's hand silently hooked onto Li Mo's finger, and he secretly made up his mind.
He needs to become stronger, both mentally and physically, to protect everything he has, including Li Mo, a monster who is stronger than him but needs him even more.
He would no longer let this little monster wander alone in the dungeon for so many years just to meet him again. This time, he would hold that hand tightly and never let go.
Li Mo smiled calmly as his hand was suddenly hooked, but his heart was in turmoil.
For some reason, his boyfriend just took his hand while they were walking, without saying anything. He didn't know what to do, so he just smiled and said that was the best he could do.
The books he read didn't tell him what to do after being held hands by someone. In the books he read, couples in love held hands without even realizing it. Does that mean his boyfriend accepted him just like those people?
He needs to hurry up and read more books to learn how to get along with someone he's dating!
The group returned to the iron fence of the madhouse. After passing through the fence, Yin Xiu began to recall where he had exited this dungeon the last time he cleared it.
The doctor, who had been sitting quietly with blood all over his body, slowly raised his eyes after hearing footsteps. "You...did you bring the key?"
He looked up and saw Yin Xiu, instinctively shuddering. Then he noticed 408 following behind the crowd and cried out in terror, "Why did you bring him here too! Why didn't you kill him!"
Zhong Mu glanced back at 408 and said calmly, "He didn't intend to kill us, so we didn't kill him."
The doctor's expression trembled slightly, then he frowned. "No, he has to die... If he doesn't die, without a sacrifice... we can't activate it..."
He muttered as he got up, glaring fiercely at 408, "We have to kill him!"
