Several people slowly realized something, their hearts collapsing, their faces stiff.
The air was thick, filled not only with heavy fear but also with profound despair.
The group of people stood like statues, not daring to move, afraid of being discovered by Lin Lin.
In fact, their previous performance already displayed a distinctive ‘player demeanor’.
Lin Lin probably knew it long ago.
Moreover, she was originally a player.
She had even read their self-introductions written in the notebook.
Drops of cold sweat fell from the players’ foreheads.
Some of the rigidly standing players began to tremble.
It started with their legs, then their hands, gradually spreading upwards.
Trembling seems to be contagious, and sweating is the same. Two players seemed like they could faint right there on the spot.
Lin Lin sat on the upper bunk, watching them. After a while, she jumped down, and rolled up the sleeves of her yellow shirt.
Ning Su squinted slightly. In the dim light, he could see the condition of the blood vessels on her pale skin.
She’s not like the flower attendants whose bodies underwent modifications; she had normal human blood vessels, except they were devoid of blood.
In a normal person’s death, some blood would turn into livor mortis, some would settle in organs, exhibiting different manifestations on the body.
But Lin Lin, lacking these signs, was hung upside down on a tree by the corpses right after death, letting her blood dry up.
Therefore, she had very few signs of livor mortis on her body.
Indeed, her name was Lin Lin, not a corpse pretending to be her; her notebook contained things she remembered.
She entered the dungeon with them and was killed by the corpses a couple of days ago.
All players saw only the first two players who died a few days ago.
Later deaths occurred more rapidly, with the corpses becoming more proficient in dealing with them, and many players couldn’t see what happened clearly, especially during the night.
Perhaps only the people belonging in her bus knew.
So, others didn’t know that Lin Lin was no longer a player.
Lin Lin walked up to Xue Wei, lowered her head to look at her, and reached out to pat her face, leaving a handprint of Dong Zhengxuan’s blood. “Just now, were you thinking of cursing me?”
The action of slapping the face is disrespectful to ordinary people, let alone for the human pupa master.
Once inside the game, no one dared to treat her this way.
But Lin Lin was no longer a player; she had become a corpse that held control over their life and death.
Many players dared not watch this scene, but Ning Su and Pang Yang were still watching.
The human pupa master’s cheek muscles bulged, as if fiercely biting down on a back molar. She glanced sideways at Lin Lin, and the blood that dripped into her eyes caused her pupils to dilate, giving her a terrifying gaze.
“Dong Zhengxuan, did you kill him?”
Lin Lin tilted her head, the scarf around her neck slipping off, revealing two bloody holes in front of Xue Wei.
Xue Wei confirmed something and suddenly laughed.
She extended her wet red tongue, licked the fresh blood of Dong Zhengxuan on her face, and savored it in her mouth.
Lin Lin: “Yes...”
“Splash.”
Pang Yang didn’t even see clearly; Lin Lin in front of him turned into a headless corpse.
Her head was in the hands of the blood-soaked human pupa master, her eyes still wide in surprise.
The human pupa master held a long, thin human body part, with fragments of human tissue that had just been touched.
It came from Lin Lin’s neck, where there was a circular bite mark.
Ning Su pursed his lips, looking again at this fierce human pupa master.
The blood splattered on her right cheek from Lin Lin’s slap had already been licked in a big circle by her. She seemed to enjoy the taste of blood, with a smile on her lips that perpetually carried a bloody scent.
When Ning Su looked over, she looked back, her smile even wider.
The head in her hand began to twitch. She calmly opened the window, throwing the head into the dark and mysterious river.
The headless corpse received the same treatment.
Not only were the traces obliterated, but the disposal was clean and calm.
The ship quietly and quickly sailed on the dark river towards the unknown.
The head and the corpse slowly sank into the dark river, getting farther and farther away.
At this moment, Ning Su suddenly understood why this seemingly not very intelligent human pupa master could firmly hold a place in the top ten of the player rankings and become a nightmare for the base residents.
Her innate brutality and unabashed ferocity were enough to get to that position.
In this area, there hadn’t been much commotion since Dong Zhengxuan’s body was taken away.
Players who came to check the situation happened to be standing between two bunk beds, blocking the view of what was happening inside. Most of the corpses outside were unaware of what was unfolding here.
It was quieter, unnoticeably calm.
Yun Xiangning and the player on the upper bunk gradually stopped trembling, but they didn’t dare to lift their heads from their knees and the covers.
Gu Xinghua pulled the leg of the player on the upper bunk, forcefully dragging him down, and in a low, stern voice, he asked, “What’s going on? Explain it clearly!”
Ning Su remembered this man named Wan Bo; he was a player from a relatively unknown guild.
Trembling, he said, “Lin Lin is a corpse!”
“I only realized it when I saw her kill Dong Zhengxuan!”
Several players had already speculated about this, but hearing him say it still left them devastated and desperate.
It was another death far beyond expectations.
The unexpected turn of events included corpses posing as players, players being mistaken for corpses, and players transforming into corpses.
This damn instance always had exposure and death methods that they couldn’t anticipate, making it difficult to defend against.
If the players who had died all transform into corpses searching for players, then what chance did they have to survive?
Those players likely knew them, knew they were different, and there would be no way to defend against that.
The only method was demonstrated by the human pupa master just now.
But not every player was as skilled as her, able to decisively and silently deal with corpses.
Xue Wei said coldly, “Be more specific, describe the process.”
Wan Bo: “I was lying on the bed, and I heard Dong Zhengxuan and Yun Xiangning talking for a bit. Yun Xiangning seemed unwilling to chat. It was at this moment that Lin Lin got off the bed.”
“I only heard some commotion and didn’t pay much attention. Next, Dong Zhengxuan and Lin Lin were chatting, and they seemed very happy.”
“...Now that I think about it, their seemingly happy conversation seemed eerie.”
Fang Qi asked, “Was there any specific point to their conversation?”
Wan Bo thought for a moment, “They talked about personal matches and guild competitions, mainly praising each other.”
They couldn’t grasp the main point.
Wan Bo’s eyes widened suddenly, saying, “Dong Zhengxuan was the one mainly talking about guild competitions and individual matches; what Lin Lin said was unrelated.”
Pang Yang asked, “Does she also need to go through evolution? Hasn’t she remembered everything yet?”
Wan Bo glanced at the human pupa master and continued, “Everything was normal until their conversation ended. The unexpected happened when Lin Lin was about to go to bed.”
“She climbed up one level of the ladder, and I don’t know what happened, but Dong Zhengxuan tried to help her.”
It was at that moment when Wan Bo turned his head and looked, a glance that would become a nightmare for him for a lifetime.
If you suddenly come face to face with a dead body when you turn your head, it’s likely to give you a good scare, similar to the surprise of a spooky ghost appearing in a movie.
Intense moments came suddenly and passed quickly.
