I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 262, page 1.17, 39: A Night of Madness
In the silence, Mu Yegui suddenly spoke, "Xiao Yin, let me out."

"No way!" Mu Yin refused without hesitation, determined not to let Mu Yegui and Fei Xiu meet.

“But this is a promise I made to Fishu, and even if there are only three hours left, I have to keep it,” Mu Yegui said softly.

"...Can't I not go?" He felt that something would happen if he agreed, but even if he didn't agree, Mu Yegui could forcibly control his body.

Although he is the dominant personality now, the main control of the body has long since fallen into Mu Yegui's hands.

The two remained silent and at an impasse. Finally, unable to resist Mu Yegui's insistence, Mu Yin spoke up, "Go, before I regret it."

Her thick, misty gray eyelashes fluttered as she lifted her eyelids and slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of cool, silver, round pupils.

Mu Yegui took a step forward, her black skirt swaying slightly, and suddenly turned to look at Ling Tong, "Give me your hand."

Although she didn't know what she was going to do, Ling Tong obediently stretched out her hand, palm up.

The next second, a fluffy little ball was placed in his palm. Mu Yegui looked at Ling Tong with his calm and unwavering silver eyes and said, "I'll trouble you to take care of Little Jin."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yegui drew the short sword from the scabbard at his waist and handed it to Ling Tong as well.

"Could you keep it safe for me? It's my most important thing, and only Tong can protect it." The soft, sweet voice was filled with seriousness, as if she were entrusting her life to Ling Tong.

Ling Tong froze, his golden-orange eyes flashing with unfathomable emotions. The crimson dot at the corner of his eye seemed like the finishing touch, burning like a raging fire in the soul of others, yet unable to divert his gaze from him.

A slight smile curved his lips, making his exquisite face even more beautiful, less cold and more gentle.

"Well then, I'm leaving." Mu Yegui lifted the sides of her skirt, took a slight step back, and gave Ling Tong an elegant bow.

He then turned and ran toward the circus tent in the distance.

She and Fish had known each other for about nine months; Fish was the first person she encountered after entering this world. He always liked to mislead others, acted recklessly, and subtly tested her, wanting to kill her.

She didn't quite understand why Fish wanted to kill her.

Why is this?

Mu Yegui ran to the circus tent and took out an invitation that was covered in colorful graffiti.

Her cool, silver eyes stared at it. At the very beginning of the dungeon, only the invitation letter that Fish had given her had not disappeared. She had been wondering why it was the only one that was special.

Now she knows why.
-

It wasn't written as "opening ceremony," but rather "entrance."

This refers to the entrance process when entering the circus tent to watch a performance.

Mu Yegui handed the invitation to the faceless ticket inspector, who then gave her a small gift box.

With a hint of confusion in her cool, silver eyes, she held it up to her eyes and looked at it several times before finally putting it down and walking into the circus tent.

It was very dark inside, with only the performance area illuminated by lights.

The clown stood in the center of the light and slowly said after Mu Ye returned, "You've finally arrived."

"..." Mu Yegui remained silent, walking step by step towards Fei Xiu.

Stepping out of the darkness, we entered the performance venue.

Suddenly, cheers from the audience rang in my ears. Even though there was no one in the seats, I could hear them clearly as if I were hallucinating.

“Fishu is really strange,” Mu Yegui said. He always acts recklessly and disregards rules; even she couldn't predict what he would do next.

"Let me enjoy these last three hours." He had been waiting for this moment, the moment he had been longing for most, wanting to be alone with this person and then kill her.

Mu Yegui nodded, placed the small gift box on the ground, and rushed towards Fei Xiu with his hands free.

Even without weapons, fingernails are sharper than any weapon.

Various enemies, other than Fish, kept appearing around her, and every now and then, acrobats would swing through the air, wielding weapons and attacking her.

Mu Yegui dodged them all, but because Fei Xiu filled the gaps in time, he suffered many more wounds for no reason.

The end is only a moment away.

A knife was plunged into his back, all the way to his chest.

She felt no pain at all. The clown gently embraced her, his posture seemingly tender and ambiguous, but in reality, he held the sword tightly.

Mu Yegui tilted his head back and gently stroked the clown's face, but in reality, his fingernails pierced the clown's throat.

"Did I win?" Mu Yegui looked up at him and asked softly.

The clown collapsed from exhaustion, but Mu Yegui caught him.

She reached out and snapped the sword that had pierced her back through her chest, then pulled it out from behind. She didn't even flinch, as if it were a trivial matter to her.

“Most people wouldn’t consider their throat a fatal weakness,” Mu Yegui commented calmly, his brows slightly furrowed.

Unable to speak due to a pierced neck, the clown's face was covered in white paint to conceal his true appearance.

"Fishu, you've always liked to deceive yourself. You clearly said from the beginning that you couldn't kill me, so why do you still want to kill me?" Mu Yegui placed the clown on the enemy side, glanced at the countdown with only ten minutes left, and finally focused his gaze on the gift box not far away.

The clown's mouth moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, his azure eyes held no hatred, no distortion, only tranquility, as pure as clear lake water, capable of reflecting everything.

"..." Mu Yegui remained silent, unsure of what to say.

This world has always been cruel, both to players and to the original inhabitants.

They had a vague feeling that a huge conspiracy was lurking around them, but they could only helplessly and passively accept it.

The clown pointed with his bloodied finger at the small box she had placed some distance away, then reached out and hooked his arm around Mu Yegui's neck, pulling her down a little.

His face was covered by thick, comical face paint and a smile that obscured his features. He bit Mu Yegui's neck hard with his teeth, but didn't draw blood, as if it were just an ambiguous gesture...

It slowly closed its eyes, turning into black specks of light and completely dissipating.

Mu Yegui turned to look at the small box he had received before entering and slowly opened it.

The first thing you see is a small stone that seems to be covered with starlight.
