With Zhong Mu gone, Yin Xiu was the only player left in the instance.
The townspeople looked at each other, filled with fear and unease as they watched Yin Xiu return from the white mist.
The dungeon is already over, why is this person still staring at them?! How terrifying!!
Yin Xiu calmly stepped forward with his knife, and the townspeople quickly retreated, very wary of him.
They knew that Yin Xiu's return would bring no good, but they had nowhere to escape. Even if they went back to their own homes, Yin Xiu would still come knocking on their door.
Everyone says that dungeons are a prison for players, and once you enter, you can only survive inside with nowhere to escape. But now, it's them who are trapped!
After the normal dungeon ends, players will quickly leave, and the dungeon will restart with monsters waiting for the next batch of players. Who would have thought that someone like Yin Xiu would deliberately block the way, putting the monsters in a dilemma.
When Yin Xiu reached the center of the square, the townspeople were already trembling and huddled in a corner, staring at him. "What...what do you want to do? Why aren't you leaving?"
Yin Xiu remained silent, ignoring the large group of weaklings and monsters, and stared up at the female statue standing in the center of the square.
Even though the mayor has disappeared, her statue remains in the same state as when the player arrived, with its head sealed by huge nails and surrounded by red talismans, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Yin Xiu climbed onto the top of the giant statue with a knife in hand. Looking down at the nails, he plunged the knife into the nail holes in front of everyone and began to pry the nails, destroying the entire statue.
The townspeople turned pale with fright and rushed forward in a panic, shouting, "You can't touch that!! If we let that woman out, we're all doomed!!"
"We can't let her out! If she gets out, the whole town will be doomed!!"
"The seal absolutely cannot be touched! If you release her, you'll die here too! You can leave right now!"
"Stop! Please don't do that!"
Ignoring the townspeople's desperate pleas, Yin Xiu continued to pry at the nails, attempting to break the entire sealed statue through the tiny cracks.
"You! Why won't you listen to advice! You want to die, but I don't!"
Seeing that Yin Xiu remained unmoved, some townspeople couldn't help but rush over, cursing and swearing, trying to stop him.
Just as the man reached the statue and before he could even grab him, Yin Xiu suddenly drew his knife, swung it backhand, and cleanly severed the townman's head. The bloody blade was then plunged back into the crack, and Yin Xiu continued to pry at the statue indifferently, without even glancing at him.
The townspeople nearby were stunned and looked on in despair.
Whether they stop them or not, they're all going to die. What else can they do but watch?
How incredibly unlucky must they be to have run into a killing machine like Yin Xiu? Now, nobody can even think about surviving.
As Yin Xiu continued to break the seal, the sky over the town grew darker and darker, and white mist gradually rose around it. The woman's footsteps echoed in the white mist.
She watched Yin Xiu destroy the statue, somewhat puzzled, "Are you helping me? Trying to free me from the seal?"
Yin Xiu remained silent, glancing at the woman out of the corner of his eye. He forcefully stomped the knife into the crack, then grabbed the huge nail and began kicking it to the side.
The cracks widened, and the entire statue was almost about to shatter. The woman's eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement. Regardless of whether Yin Xiu intended to help her, she was finally going to be free.
"Finally... I'm finally going to get my body back! That man is dead! My seal is gone! Nothing can bind me anymore!" The woman's smile was twisted, her bloodshot eyes staring at Yin Xiu, her malice growing ever stronger.
Although this man helped her kill the town mayor and was helping her break the seal, she never felt that Yin Xiu was really helping her, and that feeling of hostility was even more obvious now.
It doesn't matter. She can't deal with Yin Xiu now, but now that she has regained her body, her power is above that of the town mayor. Whether she kills Yin Xiu or not will depend on her mood.
With a tremendous roar from the entire statue, the seal instantly cracked, revealing the black coffin that had been suppressed beneath it.
The woman's face instantly lit up with ecstatic joy. She rushed towards her coffin, and her entire figure became translucent as she disappeared into it.
"It's over...it's all over..." The townspeople stared in despair as the woman was placed in the coffin.
The sky darkened, becoming heavy with dense clouds.
Compared to the townspeople's despair, Yin Xiu was much calmer. After breaking the seal, he turned around and walked to the side, choosing a relatively smooth piece of statue fragment to sit down and rest for a while.
The black coffin swayed twice and was slowly opened in the cold, damp environment.
Amidst swirling black smoke, a shriveled and emaciated corpse slowly crawled out. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, her body rotting away, having mutated into a monster during the long period of sealing.
After the corpse came into contact with the air, it began to swell and grow larger, just like the town mayor, and its crawling body was twice as tall as Yin Xiu.
She roared with ecstatic joy under the overcast sky, her eyes bloodshot and filled with murderous intent.
"I'm going to kill you all! Kill all of you accomplices!" The woman was filled with hatred for the townspeople. The first thing she did after gaining her freedom was to rush towards the townspeople in the square, ferociously tearing at their bodies and crushing them flat with intense hatred.
The townspeople screamed and scattered, fleeing in all directions. But the town was like a prison for the dungeon; neither the players nor the monsters could escape. They could only run around inside, waiting for the woman to hunt them down.
"Hmm...boring." Compared to the frenzied killing and screaming over there, Yin Xiu was calm and peaceful.
He squinted, sitting lazily on the rock watching the woman wreak havoc, and yawned wearily.
Thinking about it, he found something to do, got up and moved the corpses, stacked the bodies of the dead townspeople together, and started playing Jenga.
"Yin Xiu is a pervert, there's no doubt about it."
"Is this how big shots pass the time? I don't understand."
"What do you know! Boss Yin Xiu is just collecting their corpses! He's incredibly kind, okay!"
"Why can't I believe it?"
"By releasing the female ghost from the seal and letting her kill the townspeople, we don't even have to lift a finger. It's true that evil people are always punished by evil people. Yin Xiu understands the environment of this town too well. He avenged the little girl."
"Look at how they used to bully little girls, who would have thought that now it's their turn to be beaten up? It's hilarious."
"As expected, the monsters in the dungeon with Yin Xiu are suffering heavy casualties..."
"There's a reason why the monsters in the dungeon tremble with fear... This person is characterized by coldness and ruthlessness."
After Yin Xiu finished stacking the corpses, the surroundings became much quieter. The woman seemed to have vented her hatred. After killing all the townspeople, she returned with considerable satisfaction and began to scrutinize Yin Xiu.
"Do you want to leave the instance?" the woman asked with a sinister smile, circling around Yin Xiu's location with ease, as if testing the waters of a hunt.
"If you're not leaving, I'll stay here and chat with you?" Yin Xiu replied lazily, watching the woman's figure and silently tightening his grip on the knife.
"Then I'll let you leave reluctantly, since you killed the mayor and broke my seal." The woman smiled, stopping abruptly, but her gaze towards Yin Xiu was full of threat.
Yin Xiu stared at the woman's silence, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. His gaze swept coldly toward the huge figure hidden in the white mist, and he spoke clearly and indifferently, "I didn't mean to help you. I just felt that killing a town mayor of three-star difficulty wasn't enough fun, and you, without the seal broken, would be even less interesting."
The woman sneered, "So you've lifted the seal, or do you still want to kill me?"
Yin Xiu's lips curled slightly, but his eyes were icy cold. "This instance must be completed when I leave, at which point all the monsters inside must be dead."
"They cannot live, and neither can you."
