Chapter 82 - Chapter 82 When will I die?

Yin Xiu silently examined the handcuffs again, never expecting that the thing the warden had casually tossed onto him would be so terrifying.

The man glanced at Yin Xiu, then at Li Mo smiling behind him, and continued cautiously, "Your handcuffs are still white, which means you haven't been seriously corrupted yet. Your will is strong enough. But when you are corrupted by sin, the color of your handcuffs will change with the amount of sin you are corrupted by."

"The last person I saw wearing these handcuffs had their handcuffs turned yellow... The extremely proud player was corrupted by lust and became a madman who succumbed to lust and never came out again."

"The color of sin..." Yin Xiu turned to look at Li Mo. He remembered that when Li Mo first appeared in front of him, he was wearing a mask with a blue color on his face.

"Different sins have different colors, which are manifested in the sin gates. However, I have not seen all the sin gates, so I am not sure what color each sin gate corresponds to. I only know that lust is yellow, greed is cyan, and envy is green." The man knelt down obediently and said everything he needed to say, explaining each point one by one and adding anything he could.

"Furthermore, once you kill someone or a monster, you will be more easily corrupted by sin. But the players who enter here are all bloodthirsty, so it is extremely difficult for those wearing white handcuffs to leave."

Yin Xiu nodded slowly, having roughly understood.

From the moment he put on these handcuffs, he was no longer on the same level of difficulty as the other players who entered this place.

The best outcome is to successfully avoid the corruption of all sins and leave Elysium. However, if different levels of sin are triggered, one may fall into one of the seven sins, resulting in a bad ending.

Other players only need to survive, survive against enemy players and monsters, and then successfully reach the warden to leave.

Both individuals stepped into the first layer of sin, but the effects they experienced were completely different.

Yin Xiu sighed slowly, beginning to regret that he hadn't rushed over and strangled the warden with handcuffs.

"However... there must be a way to alleviate the sins, right? Dungeons don't have rules that guarantee death; there are always loopholes to exploit." Yin Xiuliang stared at the man intently. "Even in white handcuffs, there are ways to live, aren't there?"

The man scratched his head. "In Paradise, there's only one way to live if you're tainted by sin: just subdue the sinful desires in your heart. The white handcuffs should work the same way."

Yin Xiu pondered, "It's like a fit of rage. If we can find a way to keep calm, we can reduce the pollution?"

"Yes."

Yin Xiu felt that the difficulty of the white handcuffs was complicated. He hadn't even grasped the rules of each level, nor had he understood the conditions for passing the level. He was immediately pushed to the highest difficulty.

The white handcuffs were obtained from the warden. There is definitely no information about white handcuffs in Elysium City, so the only way to get information is to pry it from monsters. I'm afraid many players who own white handcuffs have been severely corrupted while trying to get information.

"You can't kill monsters... and you can't kill people either, right?" Yin Xiu felt like he had really become a prisoner in the instance, handcuffed and then turned into a law-abiding citizen, with both players and monsters celebrating.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Surely my Sin Gate can kill, right?"

The man's face turned pale, and he began to tremble.

Judging from his reaction, the killings at the Gate of Sin will not affect the sins of the White Handcuffs.

Alright, here's another solution that allows free movement.

"I...I've already told you so much, can't you just let me off the hook?" The man was on the verge of tears. It was really hard to fight monsters in the dungeon, especially when he encountered a powerful boss who killed monsters without blinking an eye.

"I never said I was going to kill you," Yin Xiu said calmly, without even drawing his sword.

If we really want to test the knife, those few hidden in the ground in the Greedy Cemetery would be more suitable.

We can't kill him yet. Who said we can't kill him after the dungeon announcement sounds once the handcuffs are removed?

"Thank you, boss! Thank you for sparing my life!" The man kowtowed in ecstasy, once again feeling a sense of holiness from Yin Xiu!

"But how am I supposed to take all these gems with me?" Yin Xiu turned to look around, feeling quite reluctant to part with so many dungeon assets.

After thinking it over, he frowned. There were plenty of dungeons left after this, so why was he reluctant to part with this little bit? He was starting to be influenced by greed.

"Never mind, I don't want it." He frowned and turned to leave.

The man suddenly lunged forward and grabbed his leg. "It's okay, boss, you can take it. I want to go with you too. As long as you leave and take down this 303 room number, you'll have taken the whole house. Next time you want to see me or get the gems, just find any room and hang up the room number."

Yin Xiu paused for a moment, then nodded and prepared to leave with Li Mo.

Before leaving, the man cautiously inquired, "Big Boss, you must be a special player to have been handcuffed in white handcuffs, right? I heard Yin Xiu is in this instance, you wouldn't happen to be him, would you?"

Yin Xiu stood calmly at the door and shook his head. "No, my name is Ye Tianxuan."

He then closed the door to room 303.

The man clapped his hands happily, "Oh, it's Ye Tianxuan! Hello, Ye Tianxuan! I heard that as long as you give out information, you can save your life. It really is true!"

"I need to tell the others right away that Ye Tianxuan has been put in white handcuffs. If they give me information, they can save their lives."

Ye Tianxuan, who was sitting on the third floor buying information at a fortune-telling stall, suddenly sneezed.

"Is no one thinking about me?" He wrinkled his nose.

"Hurry up, one million for a message, are you buying or not!" the stall owner said rudely to him, clearly annoyed by the high-risk player in red and trying to shoo him away.

"Buy it." Ye Tianxuan nodded calmly. "One million is worth it."

The stall owner was taken aback; this person was really willing to spend money.

He quickly corrected his attitude and asked in a friendly manner, "A big client, I'll give you a discount on the next one. What would you like to ask?"

Ye Tianxuan smiled and tapped the table. "Who set the rules for Bliss City?"

"Of course, the warden is the one who sets all the rules in Bliss City."

Ye Tianxuan nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, that's about what I thought."

The stall owner stared at him with a complicated look. "You already know this, why are you asking? Don't you have enough money?"

Even if you had a million, you wouldn't spend it like this.

"I'm just here to confirm my guess. My guess may not be accurate, but the information you all give me is definitely accurate." Ye Tianxuan slowly stood up. "Alright, I've now confirmed the five-star completion conditions for Bliss City. Thank you."

The stall owner was taken aback. He felt that he had just given a pointless answer, and he was still a little uneasy about taking the million. "How about I answer one more question for free, as an extra question for the million?"

Ye Tianxuan nodded, feeling it wasn't a bad deal, and stood upright in front of the table, pointing to himself, "Didn't you say you were omniscient and could predict everything? Then when am I going to die?"

His question instantly created a complex atmosphere in the entire live stream, including among the stall owners.

He stared intently at Ye Tianxuan's face. "...Are you sure you want to know?"

"I want to know."

"This is probably not good news for you."

"It's okay, I knew this wasn't good news."
