The wound is characterized by exposed skin and flesh, indicating it is not a simple scratch.

But she didn't even frown.

Tian Mu sighed, "Another ruthless person."

Xixi worked diligently without complaint, muttering to herself as the green halo reappeared.

Once the exposed wound had completely healed, Xixi's face turned extremely pale, and her lips were almost devoid of color.

This is the ability she gained—healing.

While this healing ability is rare, it's not exactly uncommon.

If it's a talent sequence, then it's certainly worth coveting.

Unfortunately, it's a healing ability with strange powers, and healing with strange powers requires paying varying prices, with the body's vital energy being the lowest price to pay.

"Thank you. In return, I will try my best to protect you." The woman with the dreadlocks didn't mince words and directly expressed her sincerity.

The injury will affect her mobility, and having a healing person by her side will greatly improve the situation.

"Welcome home, sir."

The voices of two nannies came from the doorway.

Then a man in a suit walked in.

He was at least two meters tall, carrying a brown briefcase, and strode into the house.

Looking up, the player was horrified to discover that the male homeowner had no face!

His face was covered with a layer of dead skin, without any facial features or even a mouth.

Su Yuan, who was closest, stood up while holding the doll and greeted them politely, "Welcome back."

The man lowered his head, as if he were sizing him up.

Su Yuan felt no sense of being stared at.

The plump nanny introduced, "Sir, this is Miss A-Liu, she just arrived home today."

[The overweight nanny's current attitude: Paying attention]

The man nodded his large head slightly, as if in response to Su Yuan's greeting.

The other players also came forward to greet them, but the chubby nanny did not take the initiative to introduce the others.

The strange nanny only introduced Su Yuan.

Realizing this, the players immediately had their own thoughts.

The fat man rubbed his lumbar spine, which he could barely touch, and grimaced. Suddenly, he saw a blood-soaked figure appear on the second floor, and he trembled with fear.

"Look, you all—!"

"What is that?"

The blood-soaked figure had a huge gap in its body; its left arm, along with its entire shoulder blade, was completely missing!

It's almost a C-shaped arc, and can no longer be considered a person.

But he was still able to walk normally and was not muttering anything.

The bloodied man tumbled and crawled all the way to the living room, stumbling towards the group.

The fat man stared intently, his hand trembling as he reached out and recognized who it was. "It's...it's Glasses."

The skinny nanny appeared out of nowhere, her voice icy, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go to the dining room for dinner."

She stepped forward and took the man's briefcase. "Sir, your wife is waiting for you in the study."

After the strange creature left, the fat man could no longer bear the strong smell of blood and began to gag.

"Oh my god!" Xixi covered her mouth, her stomach churning.

Even Tianmu, who had been smelling the blood for so long, couldn't help himself; his cheeks puffed up and deflated repeatedly, and he almost vomited several times.

He pointed at the man with glasses, "You, you're still alive."

Is this even human?

Su Yuan narrowed her eyes. The man's eerie aura value had reached 49, placing him just above the middle line.

If I'm not mistaken, that's his ability.

As for the cost, it will likely be similar to replacing death with a body part.

However, the man's current mental strength can only support him to use it once.

After using it a second time, the amount of eerie energy will double. He's afraid that the eerie energy will devour his brain and turn him into a madman, or if he's lucky, he'll become a puppet like You Ning...?

[Damn! My heart was in my throat, and it turned out to be just a player?]

[I got all excited for nothing. I thought some new weird thing had appeared. But how can this player survive like this? Is there anyone with special abilities who can explain this?]

[Substitute death, the ability to use one's own body to die once in one's place. This person with glasses is an ability user; judging by the level, it should be a D-rank substitute death user, because in a D-rank dungeon, a substitute death user below D-rank would need at least half a body to survive one death.]

The woman with the dreadlocks immediately saw what the bespectacled man had done, and sneered disdainfully, "Oh, not bad, huh?"

"How did things get so pathetic that someone needs to die in your place?"

The bespectacled man's face was covered in blood, and only his eyes were visible. His eyes were bloodshot from extreme pain, and his eyeballs bulged out as if they might burst at any moment.

Xixi looked reluctant to let go. Although she couldn't cure him yet, she could stop the bleeding.

"I..."

The woman with the dreadlocks grabbed her, her tone cold, "After he dies in her place, no matter how big the wound or how much blood he loses, he won't die."

"They dare to train such wasteful talents."

While injuries sustained during a dungeon run will heal to the maximum extent after the dungeon ends, such as regrowth of missing parts, damage taken will not be restored.

Such a depleted body requires a huge financial investment to recover.

"No wonder everyone says the association is a golden palace; it truly lives up to its name."

[System, this association sounds pretty wealthy. What do you think about me joining and having them pay off my debts?]

System: [We advise the host to abandon this idea. According to information, the association's members work year-round and must do everything possible to obtain the artifacts within the instance.]

[If an ability user fails to meet performance targets, they will be sold to an alien organization and become a puppet devoid of any self-awareness.]

Su Yuan was surprised that the system knew so much: [A puppet, like You Ning?]

[Host, according to available information, You Ning is a symbiotic puppet, which should be considered a high-level puppet. However, the fusion between the two is not yet 100%, thus limiting her abilities.]

Those who are sold off with their abilities can only become low-level puppets devoid of consciousness.

[Currently, there is no information showing how the alien organization turns humans into puppets. Sorry, host, this is all the system knows.]

Su Yuan smiled slightly, "Not bad, you've leveled up and your brain is much smarter now."

The system proudly announced: "[Learning from last experience, the system has pre-researched and stored relevant information in the database to prevent issues arising from network connectivity limitations within the instance, which could prevent us from answering the host's questions.]"

Because of his abilities, the bespectacled man couldn't feel pain or his body temperature dropping. The only thing he felt was that his control over his limbs had become less sensitive.

He glared viciously at the woman with the dreadlocks. "You bitch, I'll kill you."

Su Yuan watched as if she were an outsider, as if she had truly become a resident of the villa, while these players were like strangers who had suddenly barged into her home.

One is a healer, the other a scapegoat.

She became increasingly curious about what abilities Tianmu and the woman with the dreadlocks possessed.

Oh, and that unassuming fat guy too.

These people's abilities come from bizarre gifts, but what about hers?

"It's time to eat. If you still want to argue, please make way," Su Yuan calmly reminded them.

Both Tianmu and Xixi showed fear of Su Yuan.

The woman with the dreadlocks looked at Su Yuan.

In this bizarre dungeon, she even chose to wear a pure white dress, so she must be a young lady from a wealthy family here for training.

18:00 sharp.

All the players sat together at the dining table.

The gentle mother urged her children to eat more.

The tall and imposing father was taciturn.

Even when they chatted casually, it was always the mother who started it, showing her concern for each of her children.

After the visit ended, the only sound in the restaurant was the crisp clinking of knives and forks against plates.

"My dear children, remember to cover yourselves well with blankets at night," the gentle mother whispered.

She opened a glass jar filled with colorful candies. "Before going upstairs, come to me one by one to get your Sweet Dream Candy."

The glass jar was filled with candies of various colors.

Each person takes one in turn.

It could be blue, or purple, or orange...

When it was Su Yuan's turn, she reached out and took a white candy.

The gentle mother's expression stiffened for a moment, then she smiled and said, "White candies have no taste. I think this pink candy is much tastier."
