The live chat was instantly filled with horrified reactions; everyone was too shocked to speak by this speculation.
"Impossible...it can't be possible, how could a player eat a monster? Impossible!"
"Yes, it must have been when we weren't looking that he secretly found the item in the room that could eliminate the monster, and then quietly killed it. That's it."
"Yes, yes, that must be it. Newcomers are usually quite lucky, and since we haven't paid any attention to him, it must be a prop."
"The newbie is so lucky. I never found an item that could directly kill monsters back then."
"I've been doing this for so long, and I haven't even seen a single prop yet, haha."
"Who isn't? Haha."
The live chat erupted in laughter, as viewers tried to break free from the fear that was rising in their hearts with humor.
But another comment popped up at an inopportune moment: "Speaking of which, does that mean the monster in Yin Xiu's living room has disappeared? Since Yin Xiu didn't see what just happened, he has no idea that the first monster he encountered was fake?"
This comment almost confirmed the previous speculations, and even brought greater panic to everyone.
It mimicked the actions of the Rule Monster, took its place, and killed the monster that originally operated in the living room to completely replace it. Yin Xiu didn't discuss this with others, so he was completely unaware of it.
Is it possible that... the player that all players are seeing on their screens right now, Yin Xiu's new roommate, is doing the same thing?
In the darkness, the cold and handsome man was smiling as he wiped the bloodstains off his body with a towel, as elegantly as wiping his mouth after a meal, completely unrelated to the eerie chewing sounds that had just echoed in the darkness.
But considering his previous motionless sitting in the dark and his inhuman smile, everyone is now absolutely certain that this person is the one who impersonated the dungeon monster earlier!
Moreover, only Yin Xiu is currently being kept in the dark.
"Damn! That's scary!! I don't want a creepy monster watching me while I'm sleeping!"
"Hopefully, Yin Xiu will realize something's wrong with this person soon! Be wary of him!"
"From our God's perspective, it's easy to deduce, but Yin Xiu might have a hard time finding out, and this person might be intentionally hiding it from him."
"It's a bit scary, mainly because we don't know what his purpose is, since he killed other players but not Yin Xiu."
"He'll definitely torture them until the very end of the dungeon before killing them! That's how psychopaths are! This monster is a psychopath too!"
"Mom, there's something weird and creepy here!!"
The comments section was filled with groans as people watched Li Mo sit in the room all night.
Not long after dawn, Yin Xiu woke up.
He hadn't planned to sleep, and would at least have been on guard for a long time, but for some reason, under Li Mo's gaze, he soon became sleepy and couldn't resist falling asleep.
"Good morning." With the dim light in the room, Li Mo greeted him with a smile.
He was still sitting in that chair, no different from the night before, as if he had really been sitting there all night.
"Good morning..." Yin Xiu replied calmly and immediately got up.
"It's time to make breakfast," Li Mo reminded him.
"Are you hungry?" Yin Xiu didn't expect him to urge him so eagerly.
"I ate last night, so I'm not hungry." Li Mo's eyes curved into a smile with an ambiguous meaning. "But the one next door is hungry. She started knocking on your door as soon as it was light, but I ignored her."
"Little girl? Why didn't you call me?" Yin Xiu quickly opened the door and walked out, and Li Mo also got up and walked out.
"She's too noisy, I don't want her to keep you from sleeping."
After standing in the clean and tidy living room without a trace of mess, Yin Xiu glanced at him coldly and said, "Next time, just call me directly."
Li Mo tilted her head slightly, "But I don't want anyone to disturb your sleep. You look so beautiful when you sleep, like a cold corpse, completely still."
Yin Xiu ignored him and went straight back to the little girl's room.
The comments section was filled with trepidation: "Does Yin Xiu really not react at all to his strange remarks?"
Why didn't Yin Xiu ask him what he ate last night?!
"He said he liked that Yin Xiu slept like a corpse! Why doesn't Yin Xiu find that strange?!"
"Yin Xiu is too calm, making it seem like I'm the one who's acting strange!"
"Brother upstairs, you're really weird. Yin Xiu really does look like a corpse when he sleeps. He's pale, quiet, and weak. He lies there all night without moving an inch. And he's a very good-looking corpse."
"Dude, don't reply to me anymore, I can't keep up with your train of thought."
"Is it because he usually looks like a corpse? Yin Xiu's expression is very calm, he hardly reacts, and his face is very pale. He really looks like a moving corpse."
"Damn it, let's get to the point! The point is that guy said he likes Yin Xiu to look like a corpse!! What if he kills Yin Xiu just to see him actually turn into a corpse?!"
"It all depends on Yin Xiu's fate... There's still hope if he discovers that the other party isn't human."
Under the tense gazes of everyone, Yin Xiu left Li Mo in the living room and went into the little girl's room.
This cozy little room, which was perfectly fine yesterday, became a mess overnight. The bed was overturned, books were scattered everywhere, the carpet was torn to shreds, and even the door was covered with horrifying scratch marks, as if some monster had wreaked havoc in the whole room last night.
As soon as she entered, the little girl threw herself into Yin Xiu's arms, tears streaming down her face, and said softly, "Brother, I'm scared!"
Yin Xiu glanced silently at the entire room, then looked down at the little girl.
There were signs of some monster making noise in the house, but the little girl was completely unharmed. To prevent the little girl from coming out, he had locked the door from the outside last night, so there were only scratch marks on the door, and all the damage was limited to the inside of the house.
"Hold out your hand." Yin Xiu squatted down and extended his palm to the little girl.
The little girl wiped away her tears and placed her little hand on Yin Xiu's hand.
Her hands were unharmed, but there were some wood chips under her fingernails. Compared to the scratch marks on the door, it was hard not to guess what had damaged the room.
Given that we already knew the little girl could turn into a monster and kill people, it's not surprising to see this.
Mom's fifth rule in her note: You must sleep in your own room at night. When you wake up, whatever you see in the room is normal.
It's obvious that this little girl has been doing this for a while now; she's a repeat offender.
"Brother, I'm so scared..." The little girl, tears welling in her eyes, threw herself into Yin Xiu's arms. "This place is so scary..."
Yin Xiu guessed that she knew she would turn into a monster, but the transformation at night was unconscious, so she would be panicked when she woke up and saw her surroundings.
"It's alright." Yin Xiu patted the little girl's back. "I'll clean you up in a bit."
The little girl trembled slightly in Yin Xiu's arms. Her appearance was changing, as if she was afraid. Black liquid spread from her eyes, like tears or something else, and slid down her face, twisting and changing the skin it touched.
She reached up and touched her face, trembling. "Brother, I'm so scary... Am I about to turn into a monster?"
Seeing that she was wavering, Yin Xiu preemptively said, "Isn't this a cute girl? How does she look like a monster?" to prevent her from saying that she wanted to see herself in the mirror.
"Doesn't it look like a monster?" The little girl rubbed her face, touching the twisted parts of herself and the black liquid overflowing from her eyes. Her voice trembled. "Doesn't it look like a monster? Am I cute? Am I really still cute? I'm about to become the monster that Mom is afraid of. Mom won't come back."
The more she trembled, the more distorted her appearance became, until her entire head became increasingly unrecognizable as human.
Facing the bizarre little girl with an indescribable head, Yin Xiu didn't even blink and calmly nodded, "She's very cute, not at all like a monster."
The little girl's body trembled, and black tears streamed down her face as she repeatedly asked, "Is it really cute?"
"cute."
"Doesn't look like a monster?"
"It doesn't look like it."
With Yin Xiu's calm confirmations, the little girl's appearance gradually returned to normal, and her tears cleared away.
"Brother is so good." The little girl cried and threw herself into Yin Xiu's arms, as if everything had returned to normal.
The audience silently turned their attention to the other players' rooms that triggered this plot. In the scene, a little girl was huddled alone in her room, trembling with fear, twisting and turning into a terrifying monster. Then, she smashed the door open with a loud crash and rushed out to attack the players in the room. Her twisted posture was so horrifying that she could hardly be recognized as a little girl.
It's truly remarkable that Yin Xiu could utter the word "cute" while facing such a distorted face.
