He is the strongest, and he has not yet been corrupted into a monster by arrogance.
After giving the commands "Get up" and "Sit down," Yin Xiu basically confirmed that these players, having become half-monsters, would react to his commands.
When Ya Ya discovered this, she clapped her hands happily, "Brother is so amazing, he can make everyone listen to him."
Her soft chuckle made all the players turn pale, but the next second, Yin Xiu's voice rang out lightly.
"What does Ya Ya want them to do? Your brother will grant your wish."
He arrogantly delegated authority to a monster, something no one expected.
Remembering that they had just scolded her, the players turned pale and stared intently at Ya Ya, furious but helpless because Yin Xiu was beside them.
Ya Ya smiled innocently, pondering, "What should I ask them to do..."
As her melodious and sweet voice rang out, panic began to spread among the players.
Then Ya Ya pointed her finger playfully at the players, then pointed at the monster, "Let's turn things around!"
The moment the sound came out, the players froze, and so did the monster.
The reverse means...
"The monsters become the masters, and the players are the pets?" Yin Xiu pondered, a smile curving his lips. "That's not bad. Let the arrogant taste the bitterness of being bullied."
He stared at the players in the hall, and under the expectant gazes of the monsters, he issued the order expressionlessly, "From now on, the status of players and monsters in the Pride Layer is reversed. Follow the rules. Even without players, monsters are still their own masters."
As soon as he gave the order, all the monsters lying on the ground instantly stood up, began to revel, howl, and excitedly enjoy their freedom.
The players wore expressions of agony, their eyes bloodshot as they glared at the aloof Yin Xiu, shouting, "How dare you turn us high-level players into monsters' pets?! Are you insane?!"
"The player... the player is the master of the monster... how could they become a pet..."
"How could I become the pet of these despicable creatures..."
"We are distinguished players!"
Faced with their angry rebukes, Yin Xiu said calmly, "Look down at yourselves, you're still wearing prison clothes, where does your dignity come from?"
In a single sentence, the players broke down and wailed. Their arrogant attitude gradually caused them to lose their humanity, and they were gradually assimilated amidst the screams of the bizarre revelry.
Yin Xiu lazily watched the strange creatures dancing wildly and excitedly throughout the hall, folded up the rule sheet for the Arrogance Layer, put it in his pocket, and prepared to leave.
Just before leaving the hall, the guard, who had finally stood up from the ground, stared at Yin Xiu excitedly, "Seeing you wearing white handcuffs, you must be Ye Tianxuan!"
"Huh?" Ya Ya looked confused, but before she could explain, Yin Xiu covered her mouth.
"Yes, that's right, I am Ye Tianxuan." Yin Xiu nodded in agreement.
"As expected... I heard that Ye Tianxuan treated monsters better than Yin Xiu, and it turns out it's true." The guard of the monster was full of gratitude. "I was disrespectful at first. Thank you, Boss Ye, for freeing us... In exchange, I'll tell you about the white handcuffs."
Yin Xiu himself hadn't even thought to ask about the white handcuffs, but the other party was very proactive.
Perhaps you could have gotten this kind of information by questioning the monsters here with an arrogant attitude, but that would have fallen into the trap of arrogance.
"Alright, go ahead and say it."
"Oh, thank goodness, you're Ye Tianxuan, not Yin Xiu. Let me tell you, the warden gave a special order this time, forbidding us from telling Yin Xiu about the White Handcuffs, even if we're killed, we absolutely cannot say anything. But I never expected that the White Handcuffs player this time would be you, Ye Tianxuan." The eerie creature sighed, "It's so good that we don't have to disobey the warden's orders."
Yin Xiu paused for a moment, then nodded silently.
We can't tell Yin Xiu; what does it have to do with Ye Tianxuan?
"Actually, the way Elysium used to eliminate players was quite efficient before, but the new warden has added some special rules, such as the corruption of sin on each floor... white handcuffs... and player rankings."
"He said that if he wanted to keep Yin Xiu, these things were necessary. Based on his understanding of that killing god, he would never be able to leave the City of Bliss. Every level would be a point of his sinful downfall."
The eerie man shrugged. "I don't know why the warden is so sure, but he said he can keep Yin Xiu in the game and corrupt him, so we have no choice but to do it, because we are also afraid of Yin Xiu."
"If you want to leave Elysium, you must avoid the sins that are most likely to attack you."
"The most powerful attack doesn't refer to an actual attack on you, but rather to the psychological level." The strange creature pondered deeply. "I am not human, so I cannot understand the impact of sin on people, but sin originates from the mind, and only those with a strong enough mind can withstand sin."
"If you know which sin you are most likely to fall into, then try to avoid it."
"All beings in the City of Bliss are equal. Even the God of Slaughter will be affected by some sin. Be careful not to fall into it."
Yin Xiu nodded silently.
The eerie figure rubbed his hands together. "Normally, we wouldn't give players this much information, but you just seem special. Just standing in front of you makes me shiver for some reason. Maybe that's what awe feels like?"
"It's because I'm scared of that silly monster," Ya Ya muttered softly.
Yin Xiu covered her mouth and nodded to the monster. "Then I'll be going now."
"Okay, okay." The ghost quickly opened the door and let Yin Xiu and the others out.
As soon as the door to the ballroom was opened, a damp, cold wind suddenly swept in, engulfing the entire ballroom. All the monsters inside instantly knelt down and trembled uncontrollably.
Something was pressing down on their heads, forcing them to kneel and feel genuine awe.
Within the layer of arrogance, an even more powerful being has arrived.
Just by standing there, it exudes an invisible pressure that is enough to instill fear and dread in people, making them so afraid that they don't even dare to look at it.
One second the hall was filled with a bizarre frenzy, the next second everyone was kneeling on the ground in complete silence.
Yin Xiu glanced at the strange figure who had suddenly knelt on the ground with a puzzled look, then turned to look at Li Mo, who was standing at the door with a slight smile and an obedient appearance. "What are you doing here?"
"I came looking for you," Li Mo replied calmly, his gaze sweeping over Yin Xiu's entire body before glancing at Ya Ya, who was holding Yin Xiu's hand beside him.
His smile froze, and he pointed at Ya Ya, "What's she doing here?"
Ya Ya shrank behind Yin Xiu and said seriously, "I was called here to protect my brother."
Li Mo pursed her lips. "Having me protect you is enough."
Ya Ya frowned and snorted at Li Mo, "If you could protect my brother, I wouldn't be here!"
The next second, she vanished from her spot and turned back into a small prop coin.
Li Mo smiled, picked up the prop, placed it in Yin Xiu's palm, and reiterated, "It's enough for me to protect you."
The prop coin stubbornly trembled twice in Yin Xiu's palm, but finally gave up dejectedly after failing to come out.
Yin Xiu: ...
The two people in the family are strangely at odds, which is upsetting.
