Yin Xiu stood straight at the door, trying to hear any sounds from behind it, or sense the other person's presence, but only silence answered him.
The black door was utterly silent, and no sound came from behind it.
He turned to look at Li Mo beside him, "Were you behind the door?"
"Yes." Li Mo nodded slightly, her smile genuinely brightening with joy, "I've been waiting for my boyfriend behind the door."
Yin Xiu relaxed slightly.
Standing at the door, Ye Niangniang first glanced at Yin Xiu and Ye Tianxuan, then looked at Li Mo, "Perhaps when the seal opens, you'll have to go in yourself, let your true form enter this human form, and then come out. If your true form passes through the seal, your influence will directly turn the two humans present into monsters."
Years ago, when the monsters placed this seal, they did so with the determination that it would never be opened again.
Li Mo nodded silently, her fingers tightly gripping Yin Xiu's hand.
Both sides were tense at this moment, and not only them, but Ye Niangniang and 408 beside them were also quite nervous.
When they abandoned the monster, they were prepared never to see it again, but they never imagined that one day they would come to this door again and... accept it once more.
Night Goddess took a deep breath, slowly pricked her finger, and after black blood flowed out, she raised her hand and pressed it against the door. 408 beside her did the same.
White, eerie characters appeared on the black door, then instantly turned black. The characters swirled around the entire door, gradually falling off, but very slowly.
"Come help me!" 408 called out to Mu He, unable to bear seeing the great monster so clingy with a human every day.
The black cat at Night Goddess's feet also slowly walked to the door, then transformed into a human and stood at the door to help Night Goddess.
Ye Tianxuan brought a small stool from the dungeon and sat at the back to watch the show; after all, he wasn't the one who was busy or nervous.
Two members of the Black Cat faction and two of the White Cat faction, one on each side, pressed their hands onto the seal. The characters floating around the door spun and crumbled faster.
The black door began to tremble, slowly opening a crack from its impenetrable closure. An invisible pressure instantly emanated from behind the crack, a chill descending upon everyone, causing them to tremble and unconsciously instill fear and awe.
The figures before the door trembled, but silently continued to break the seal.
The chill seeped from the crack, swirling around everyone, but upon detecting Yin Xiu, it suddenly retreated, disappearing back inside the door, becoming docile.
After the oppressive feeling vanished, the monsters before the door breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that even a small human could become docile.
Before opening the door, they weren't without their fears. Perhaps, within the long seal, the monster had already gone mad, hating everything outside. It feigned trust in humans, feigned obedience, all so that the moment the seal was broken, it could unleash all the resentment accumulated over the years, wiping out everything outside.
Currently, it seems that more than resentment, it doesn't want its boyfriend to become a monster.
As the seal disappeared, the door slowly opened, revealing endless darkness beyond, nothing visible.
But after the door was fully open, Ye Niangniang and the others withdrew their hands, turning to look at Li Mo. "The seal is broken, go in."
Yin Xiu followed their gaze and met Li Mo's eyes. Li Mo had been holding his hand tightly since the door opened, reluctant to let go.
"What's wrong?" Yin Xiu asked softly, noticing a slight agitation in Li Mo after the door opened.
"I'm a little scared... If they suddenly seal the door again after I go in, I'll never see my boyfriend again." Li Mo trusted her boyfriend, but no longer trusted the monsters.
He lowered his eyes, unease weighing on his brow. "I finally found my boyfriend outside the door."
Even now, the monster didn't want to willingly step into this sealed space, which was nothing but darkness, as if entering would return it to its former state, devoid of everything.
"I'll wait for you outside. I promise no one can close the door again." Yin Xiu stared intently at Li Mo, offering him the most solemn promise. "Anyone who touches the door before you come out, I will kill them."
His words were serious, and the killing intent emanating from him was unmistakable.
The monsters beside him paled, their expressions complex. Ye Tianxuan even wiped away a cold sweat; the aura emanating from the serious Yin Xiu was truly terrifying.
Li Mo's brows gradually relaxed. "I believe my boyfriend."
He slowly released Yin Xiu's hand, gazing longingly at his boyfriend, and turned to walk towards the sealed door he feared most.
At the door, they gazed at each other, confirming each other's emotions, before Li Mo turned and stepped into the seal.
The instant his black figure disappeared, the two large doors on either side slammed shut with a loud bang.
Almost instantly, Night Goddess's tense and loud voice rang out, "We didn't close the doors! The seal on the doors has disappeared. Now it's just an ordinary door that connects to the sealed space. He closed it himself after going in, probably afraid that his existence would affect the people outside."
Night Goddess explained quickly; she was genuinely afraid that Yin Shashen would misunderstand, so she didn't give them time to explain before launching into a tirade.
Yin Xiu silently stared at the closed doors and nodded.
After Li Mo went in, he completely suppressed his aura and stood quietly in front of the door, waiting.
"How long will it take to come out?" Ye Tianxuan stared at the door, sitting idly in the darkness, somewhat wanting to go back to his dungeon to play cards.
"I don't know... If his true form has grown quite large, it needs time to enter that small humanoid form, and... the monster's influence will cause some changes in his humanoid form, making it impossible for him to maintain that form.
"If he wants to come out intact, he might need some time to adjust." "Night Goddess explained.
Ye Tianxuan nodded, glancing at Yin Xiu out of the corner of his eye, "Then, just in case anything unexpected happens, everyone should wait here."
The monsters had no right to refuse. 408 sat down on the ground, Night Goddess picked up the black cat and stood aside, only Zhong Mu immediately stepped forward to take back his doctor.
"Doctor, how's your finger?" Zhong Mu was still worried about the doctor cutting his finger to break the seal.
"It's alright." Mu He slowly raised his hand; the wound had already healed, leaving only a small mark.
Zhong Mu blew on that small mark twice, afraid that the doctor would still feel pain.
"The seal is broken, you should all go back now." Mu He murmured softly, "I wonder when you'll come back next time."
Whether intentional or unintentional, the faint disappointment and sorrow in his tone were undisguised, as if he couldn't bear to see Zhong Mu leave.
This direct approach left Zhong Mu dizzy. Filled with happiness and secret delight, he glanced around to make sure no
one was paying attention, then secretly turned to the side, took a stuffed animal from his small bag, and slipped it into Mu He's hand, whispering shyly, "This is... a token of my love for the doctor... I hope the doctor will like it."
Mu He ran his fingers over the object in his hand, carefully tracing its outline. "What is this?"
Zhong Mu's ears turned bright red, but she still leaned closer and whispered, "It's... a rag doll I sewed myself."
"That way, when the doctor misses me, he can touch the doll..."
