She is expressive and has clear emotions; all the typical behaviors of a child are present in this little girl.
If it weren't for his ability to kill, he would indeed seem like an ordinary child.
The viewers in the live chat glanced at the spoiled little girl happily eating in Yin Xiu's room, and then at the little girl fiercely waiting for her food in another room. For a moment, they all wondered if these were two children.
"Bad brother, I'm done eating." The little girl finished the entire lunchbox of food in one go, and nodded to Yin Xiu with a satisfied look. "Wipe your mouth."
Yin Xiu glanced at the blood-soaked towel in his hand, grabbed a tissue from the side and wiped her mouth, then put away the lunchbox.
The little girl, hugging her rabbit, watched Yin Xiu pack up the lunchbox, her face innocent. "Bad brother, can you read me a story before bed?"
Unable to refuse the little girl's request, Yin Xiu nodded, "I'll come before bedtime."
"Then I'll wait for you." The little girl smiled innocently, looking happy.
In another player's room, the little girl took a bite of her unpalatable food, then angrily threw down her chopsticks, saying, "It's awful! I'm not eating anymore!"
She had already taken a bite, which counted as having eaten, and having completed the required steps, the player hurriedly went up to clear the dishes, ignoring her and not daring to have much contact with her.
"Hey." The little girl, annoyed at being ignored, grabbed the player's clothes. "Come to my room and sleep with me tonight."
The player was stunned, on the verge of tears, "But I can only stay in my own room at night, otherwise it will be dangerous..."
The rules state that you should stay in your room at night and not go to the living room, but if a player goes from their room to the little girl's room, they will inevitably have to pass through the living room, and they should not be able to find it. Obviously, there will be a monster that can kill the player wandering around the living room at night.
"I don't care! Dinner wasn't good, you have to come to my room and sleep with me!" The little girl glared at the player, her blood-stained face filled with indifference. "Or are you going to refuse me?"
The player's heart skipped a beat, "...Okay."
We'll have to figure things out later tonight; this little girl is just too difficult to please...
A comment drifted across the screen: "Compared to this, the little girl in Yin Xiu's room is really so cute..."
"She only asked for a bedtime story to lull her to sleep, then she could leave."
"I remember all the little girls were actually the same person, how come they are so different?"
"It's all thanks to Yin Xiu for handling things so well; he even knew to wipe the little girl's hands and face."
"Indeed, the other players only cooked, but didn't pay any attention to the little girl. Does the monster also have a favorability rating?"
"No way... Even if they did, who would dare to use them?"
"I certainly wouldn't dare."
Yin Xiu went outside and glanced at the time on the wall. It was already past five o'clock, and the setting sun was still shining through the window. There was still some time before nightfall.
He put down the towel and found that the food had been moved from the kitchen to the table in the living room. Li Mo was sitting properly at the table, with his usual smile, waiting for Yin Xiu.
The two sat facing each other in silence. Yin Xiu ate quietly, but Li Mo's voice was quite loud.
His movements were very light, but the sound of him chewing was very clear after the food entered his mouth. Judging from his expression, he probably liked the taste as much as the little girl.
When Yin Xiu looked up and stared at Li Mo as he opened his mouth, the density of the teeth revealed was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Noticing that Yin Xiu cared a lot, Li Mo smiled and said, "If you don't like it, I can turn back into my normal self."
He pursed his lips, then swallowed hard. When he opened his mouth again, the structure inside was very similar to that of a normal person, but there were still some differences, such as the excessively long tongue and the distribution of teeth.
"Isn't it a bit late to pull back your inhumanity now?" Yin Xiu casually picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.
He could tell that Li Mo was imitating a human. Although he had a flawless human appearance, his words and actions were very strange. His posture was very standard, even his smile was standard. He had no human personality and was full of the appearance that a human template should have.
"It's not something you often hear, so I can't use it as a reference," Li Mo smiled slightly. "If you care, I'll change it."
"I don't care." Yin Xiu didn't care. Whether the other party was a player or something else, it was none of his business. After this dungeon, they would all have to get out of his room.
He didn't care whether other players saw it or not. If this monster posed a danger to him, he would fight back without hesitation; he wouldn't move until then.
"If you don't mind, I'll recover. It'll be more convenient to eat this way." Li Mo lowered his head, picked up some food and put it in his mouth, and the dense chewing sound rang out again.
Night was approaching, and it was getting dark outside the window. Yin Xiu had tried it; if the lights in the room weren't turned on, nothing could be seen at night, which meant that when it was completely dark outside, night would begin inside the instance.
Before it got completely dark, Yin Xiu carried the little girl into the bathroom, made her wash off the bloodstains all over her body, and then found a clean dress for her to change into.
"Bad brother, tell me a story!" The little girl lying in the pink bed sheet looked extremely excited, showing no sign of wanting to sleep.
Holding an old children's book, Yin Xiu sat on the edge of the bed and flipped through it. "Aren't we supposed to be reading stories?"
"Don't read stories anymore! I'm tired of hearing these stories! I want to hear bad brother tell stories!" The little girl huddled under the covers, looking on expectantly.
Yin Xiu considered the time it would be completely dark. It seemed that if he didn't get her to sleep and leave soon, he would probably have to pass through the living room at night.
He reached out and patted the little girl's blanket, his eyes gentle and his voice soft, as if he were truly the little girl's older brother, "What do you want to hear?"
The little girl pondered for a moment, blinked, and stared intently at Yin Xiu. "I don't have a brother, so I want to know your story, you bad brother."
"My story…" Yin Xiu lowered his eyes in thought, his profile gentle. "But I don't remember much about the past. My memories of the last two years have become increasingly blurry. I've even forgotten how long I've lived in my small town."
A furious message instantly appeared in the live chat.
"Six years! Six years!! You've forgotten, but we remember!"
"Do you know what we've been through these past six years?!"
"You're always fishing and drying your nets, you don't take us seriously at all! You've even forgotten who you chopped up last night, haven't you!"
"Haha, why were those first few posts so agitated? Could they have been posted by some weirdo in town?"
"Hilarious! Could it be that the monster that Yin Xiu slashed has come knocking on our door? Hahahaha."
"You'll find out soon enough. If you laugh again, I'm coming to find you right now."
"Hahaha, come on, I don't believe you're really a monster."
"Tell me where you want to stay, and I'll see if you'll go."
"I'm not afraid of you! Acting weird in the middle of the night, 101 D Alley, come on if you dare."
"Hehe, remember to open the door later."
"Brother, don't cause trouble. What if it really was sent by some weirdo in the town?"
"Definitely not. I've lived in this town for a year and I've never heard of it. It must have been some guy who set it up... Hey, there's a knock at the door. I'll go check it out."
Don't go!
"May you have a safe journey, brother."
"Is he still there, bro? Give me a shout!"
"Why did that person stop talking? I'm scared."
"I'm scared too..."
In the town square, under the live broadcast screen, a group of densely packed dark figures sat around the Night Goddess, staring angrily at the messages on the screen, resisting the urge to reply.
"Has my brother lost his memory? Like in the movies?" Inside the instance, the little girl became interested in Yin Xiu's topic.
Yin Xiu shook his head. "It's not amnesia. I can remember why I came here, but many memories have become increasingly blurry as I've lived in this small town for so long."
The little girl looked puzzled and, not daring to delve too deeply into where Yin Xiu was, changed the subject, "Then why did you come here, brother?"
Yin Xiu hesitated for a few seconds, stared at the little girl, and slowly said, "I'm looking for someone. I came here while looking for someone, a girl about your age..."
The little girl's eyes immediately lit up. "Who are you looking for? Your sister?"
Yin Xiu nodded.
"But it's been six years, haven't you found it yet?" The little girl tilted her head, paused for a moment after asking, and then shrank back into the blankets.
Another message appeared in the live chat.
"I remember it all too clearly! Sixteen-year-old Yin Xiu was wandering around the town at night with a knife, asking his sister about anything strange he encountered. It gave me a real psychological trauma."
"Hahaha, really? That makes me want to see it."
"What are you looking at! Go try having a knife pointed at you and you'll know what that feels like!"
"...Sorry to bother you."
