In the middle of the night, a heavy feeling pressed down on him, and Yin Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that he couldn't move.
His room was very cold and dark. Something unseen was firmly binding his limbs to the bed, like sleep paralysis, but not quite, because the thing on his body was still moving.
A cool sensation wrapped around his waist, slipped inside his clothes, and clung to his skin. As Yin Xiu perceived it, it felt like a long, cold, and sticky object wrapped around him, slowly climbing up his legs, wriggling over his waist and abdomen, and hooking around Yin Xiu's neck, making him breathe rapidly.
It was clearly cold and sticky, but it clung tightly to my skin, making me unable to move and radiating a slight warmth wherever it touched.
Dungeon Survival Rule Seven: If you feel something enter your room, shout for your roommate to come find you. The two of you must stay together until dawn.
Yin Xiu didn't know where he had triggered Rule Seven, but the moment he came to his senses and realized the situation, he opened his mouth to call for Li Mo in the next room. Although Li Mo was also a dangerous person, he was at least his roommate in name.
But the moment he opened his mouth, that thing immediately sprang up and blocked his mouth.
"Ugh..." Yin Xiu tried to shout, but the sound was stuck in his throat and he was very weak.
The sticky, flowing chill entered his mouth, curiously probing inside, flowing along his palate, caressing and outlining, as if studying the structure of the human mouth.
Yin Xiu frowned and struggled hard, trying to regain control of his body, but all he could get in response was a small tremor. Under the immense pressure, he was lying on the bed with almost no power to fight back.
Yin Xiu's unusual behavior was also noticed by the viewers in the live chat.
"Look, Yin Xiu seems a bit off."
"Not to mention Yin Xiu, the players who came back to their rooms alive from the living room are all acting strangely."
"I suspect it's that thing in the living room. Although it didn't kill the players hiding in the living room, it followed them back to their rooms, which is why Rule Seven came about."
"I have the same suspicion. Otherwise, the rule being triggered at seven o'clock would be too random. It really depends on whose room it goes to."
"Ah... that player's body was almost distorted by something that could see things..."
"Holy crap... his spine was completely broken, and his limbs too..."
"Oh my god, I was about to go to sleep, but now I can't fall asleep."
"Another player is starting to get tortured too, it's so awful..."
"It seems like they didn't immediately realize they needed to call their roommates. At that time, if it was in a player's room and not in the living room, it would be possible to pass through."
"Even if you invite your roommate, they have to dare to come. I did invite one, but my roommate didn't show up..."
"The importance of good teammates is undeniable, but why didn't Yin Xiu call for them?"
"He doesn't seem to be able to call out..."
All the players' eyes were fixed on the screen in Yin Xiu's room. They could clearly see something unseen entangled around him. Something was writhing and moving under his clothes. He was lying on the bed unable to move, and even his head seemed to be fixed in place by something.
Even though Yin Xiu wanted to struggle, each act of resistance only resulted in a slight twisting motion.
He was like prey caught in the coils of a snake, unable to struggle or resist, only able to wait for death while being entangled.
"To be honest, the way he struggled in bed was a bit... you know."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it!"
"Haha, you've got it by now. Don't listen, you can see, Yin Xiu is struggling quite a bit, his clothes are all rolled up."
"It looks like red marks are starting to appear on his skin, which looks quite creepy."
"But it also looks even more... well, you know."
"Stop talking! I don't want to look, I don't want to look!"
"If you don't watch, you might miss the boss's death scene."
"That one is almost done. Now, apart from the one who called his roommate, all the other players who were being targeted are dead. Only Yin Xiu has lasted this long."
"Yeah, all the players who triggered the rules at the same time are dead, so how come he's still alive?"
"Didn't you notice that it didn't intend to kill him? It was just torturing him. If it really wanted to kill him, it would have been a quick matter."
"Benta! This dungeon is so weird! How did it even learn to torture people?!"
"It's called torture... but it feels more like playing a game..."
"The other players couldn't move at all and were strangled to death instantly. Yin Xiu could even struggle occasionally, and the tension was sometimes loose and sometimes tight, allowing Yin Xiu to resist as a kind of relief."
"If you keep playing with them, they'll still kill eventually. It just shows that those who toy with their prey are perverts!"
Yin Xiu was also aware of this. When the thing on his body sensed that Yin Xiu was not moving, it would loosen up a bit to give him some control. Once Yin Xiu resisted, it would immediately tighten up to firmly imprison him.
After studying Yin Xiu's mouth, it covered his mouth and began to crawl all over his body, studying other places, truly finding itself in the state of researching materials and exploring everywhere.
Yin Xiu took a slight breath, his thin eyes fixed on the unseen object in the darkness, quietly gathering his strength, waiting for the next opportunity to act.
After it found that Yin Xiu was not moving, it tried to loosen its binding force a little more, and immediately tightened it the moment it loosened it. But this time it found that Yin Xiu did not resist at all.
Yin Xiu's quietness made him even more enigmatic, and the prey became even more unpredictable. The most boring time was when the prey stopped struggling, so the prey relaxed even more, waiting for Yin Xiu to fight back. After all, it had plenty of ways to get back at him.
Sensing that the other party had relaxed, Yin Xiu narrowed his eyes and, once his right hand regained its movement, suddenly gripped the knife hanging at his waist, drew it out instantly, and swept it across the unseen entity in front of him.
A flash of cold light, and something seemed to be torn apart in the darkness.
Before it could have another chance to coil around, Yin Xiu suddenly shouted towards the doorway, "Li Mo!"
His voice drifted through the door, across the living room, and into another room.
The person who had been sitting quietly in the darkness suddenly opened their eyes, and the unchanging smile on their face was even more intriguing than usual.
Li Mo lowered his eyes and raised his hand. There was a cut on his palm, from which some black liquid trickled down, but it quickly disappeared completely.
The lingering warmth and touch in my palm are still very clear, and I even feel a little reluctant to let go.
"So this is what the human mouth looks like." He muttered thoughtfully, got up from the chair, and slowly opened the door to walk into Yin Xiu's room.
If he has another chance, he wants to explore other places.
