Excessive ferocity due to caution

The rain stopped on the twelfth day.

That is, the day when Ed and Bell originally started slaughtering the players.

But now that Ed and Bell have died of guilt, the kind-hearted psychologist Zhao Yi has nothing to do, so he starts tinkering with Ed's camera.

And... left behind a video recording.

After doing all this, Zhao Yi put the video in Edbub's bag and threw it into Bell's cave.

After the main quest ended, the players disappeared in a flash of white light.

The mountains and forests gradually returned to their former tranquility, as if none of this had ever happened.

A few days later, a helicopter arrived at the mountaintop, and several men dressed in black suits and sunglasses got off the helicopter and went to Bell's cave.

"My lord... we have reached the Rubak Mountains, but Bell and Ed, those two captive beasts, are nowhere to be found."

The man in black placed his hand on the communicator to his ear, listening quietly to the instructions on the other end.

Another soldier went inside the cave, searched it thoroughly, and quickly found Ed's tattered bag.

"what?"

He looked puzzled.

He had come here more than once, and had even personally piloted a helicopter to take Ed and Bell to several restricted areas.

So he recognized Ed and Bell's bags.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out the camera and, out of curiosity, turned on the recording.

A thin but handsome man is talking to himself in front of the camera.

The soldier couldn't hear what the man was saying, so he pointed his ear at the camera's sound output.

As he listened, his eyes gradually became vacant and lost.

But a strange smile curved his lips.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black who was on the phone suddenly saw the soldier turn around and raise his rifle.

He stopped talking to his boss while he was on the phone.

On his deathbed, he murmured:

"oh!"

"Mom said to her son, Fakle!"

Da da da da da da da...

...

Congratulations to player Zhao Yi!

[Rating: SS+]

[Rewards: 150 experience points, 15000 points]

[Item Obtained: Destiny Chest (Blue)]

[Title Obtained: The Deceiver]

[Evaluation: Congratulations on once again finishing the dungeon early single-handedly. It seems that the Inferno difficulty dungeon is still too easy for you. Perhaps next time the system will consider giving you an unsolvable difficulty dungeon to broaden your horizons! Also, you (--data deleted--) don't cause trouble for the system after the dungeon ends again! Last time in the 'Haunted School' dungeon, it was you (--data deleted--) who caused trouble at the end, turning X-2 from a Hell BOSS into a Desperate BOSS, causing the other dungeon team to be wiped out! I (--data deleted--) you stinky (--data deleted--)]

...

Zhao Yi, who had returned to the guild's headquarters, glanced at the system's rating and evaluation.

It contains an extremely high amount of maternal essence.

The gist of it is that after X-2 from the Haunted School was taught some basic skills, he became the boss in another instance and rampaged through the dungeons.

A glint of light flashed in Zhao's eyes.

Therefore, the instances that players experience are not simply game instances.

After the NPCs inside are used up, they will be put into other dungeons for continued use.

In other words, the NPCs players encounter in the game dungeons now may very well be encountered again in other dungeons later on.

Good heavens, it seems we've discovered something incredible!

beep beep-

Zhao Yi received a message on his system panel. When he opened it, he saw it was from Liu Ruoqing.

"Little brother, come to your sister's room."

He hesitated for a moment, then replied with a message:

"Is he having an episode?"

"Yes, my brother needs treatment."

"Take a picture and let me see it."

Soon, Liu Ruoqing took two photos.

One pouts, the other licks its lips.

Zhao Yi was speechless.

"I told you to take pictures of the affected areas, who gave you the right to send me a selfie here?"

"Ah—I'm sorry."

Soon, another picture was sent from the other end.

A long, slender leg that should have been as white as snow was now covered with red scales!

This is a sign that the Red Devils are about to make a comeback.

Zhao Yi immediately knocked on the door of room 707.

The door opened, and a slender finger hooked onto Zhao Yi's clothes, pulling him inside...

...

"I am very satisfied with today's treatment."

The red scales on Liu Ruoqing's legs faded.

She sat on the sofa, poured herself a glass of red wine, and slowly drank it, a blush rising on her charming cheeks.

Zhao Yi, sitting opposite, was diligently taking notes.

"Old charlatan Jiang Xiao has already registered you. When the Demon Tide arrives, you will be summoned and teleported to that great secret realm."

"Also... I've already reimbursed you for the registration fee."

Zhao Yi was surprised and looked up to ask:

"Is there a registration fee?"

Liu Ruoqing lazily brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Otherwise what?"

"It's high-risk, high-reward inside, and it's only open to newcomers, making it a place many players desperately want to go. The system isn't stupid; if hundreds of thousands or millions of players went in at once, wouldn't it create complete chaos?"

"Therefore, it needs to conduct high-quality screening in advance."

Zhao nodded.

Thank you.

Liu Ruoqing chuckled:

"No need."

"Anyway... last time, that old charlatan Jiang Xiao lost a golden item to me in a bet. If I sell it, I can earn a lot of points."

"You can no longer enter the dungeon during this period. After registering for the Demon Tide, your soul imprint will be locked, and you can only stay in the Chaotic Realm during this time."

"Open world quests are definitely worth doing."

Zhao nodded and left Liu Ruoqing's room.

After he left, the allure on Liu Ruoqing's face gradually faded.

Are you scared?

She opened her mouth, but it was unclear who she was talking to.

Until… a strange voice rang out.

Trembling with a hint of fear.

Only she could hear it.

"It wants to..."

"Eat me."

...

PS: I revised the horror story today, trying to make Yang Linlin look less disgusting, so the update is a bit slower.

Or at least 6000 as a minimum.

After finishing our meal, we continued working.
