YM778.TV Chapter 2 - The eerie Yellow Spring Inn!!!
【This dungeon’s name: Yellow Spring Inn!】
【Mission objective: Work hard and survive for two days!】
【Current surviving personnel: 6】
After the countdown reached zero, three lines of blood-red text appeared in front of him, Lin Yu was momentarily distracted and found himself standing in a gloomy, blood-soaked, dilapidated courtyard!
The blue stone tiles were covered in dried blood, and nearby, a flowerbed swayed with crimson spider lilies.
A broken wooden door was slightly ajar, obscuring the scene behind it, and beside him stood five individuals, each with different expressions and attire: a middle-aged man in a suit, slightly plump, exuding the aura of a successful person.
A young man with yellow hair, dressed flamboyantly, with tattoos on his arms, like a street youth.
A taciturn, burly man in a hoodie, cautiously scanning the surroundings.
A middle-aged woman of average looks, but dressed somewhat revealingly.
Finally, a small, timid student girl with glasses, shrinking her shoulders in fear, staring at the ground.
The group exchanged glances, their eyes filled with fear.
Even the flashy yellow-haired youth didn’t impulsively shout, clearly, everyone had realized the dangers of the “horror game!”
Ultimately, it was still the taciturn bearded man who spoke first, “It seems that besides me, everyone else is a newcomer!”
He said this with a sigh.
Upon hearing him, the other five, including Lin Yu, were momentarily brightened.
The mature woman pondered for a moment, suppressing her fear, and spoke with a light laugh. “So, brother, this isn’t your first time?”
The bearded man nodded and said, “That’s right, I’m a beta player from the ‘fourth batch’. I’ve experienced this type of dungeon five times!”
A survivor who had experienced five dungeons!
This identity made everyone feel somewhat reassured.
Since someone had survived five times, it indicated there was still a chance…
The bearded man seemed to see through everyone’s thoughts and shook his head gently.
“Don’t be too optimistic. I survived five times, but each time it was a narrow escape!
“In every dungeon, at least half the people will die… In the newcomer dungeon you’re experiencing, the survival rate for newbies is terrifyingly low!
“When I entered the dungeon for the first time, twenty people went in, and only I and another newcomer survived… Even the veteran leading us perished!”
As he spoke, the uncle rolled up his black hoodie sleeves, revealing his arms covered in horrific black cracks, showing decayed flesh and even eerie white bones within!
“This is the price of survival!
“In that dungeon, the objective was to survive for twelve hours… but this dungeon requires survival for two days!”
The hope that had just ignited among the group was instantly dimmed significantly!
“Is this what ghosts are like… then we’re doomed!” The yellow-haired punk said nervously, revealing a pessimistic expression.
“Damn it…” The middle-aged man in a suit muttered under his breath.
The two women were so scared they covered their mouths, almost screaming.
Even Lin Yu was slightly startled.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
“At least I have a system! My chances of survival must be higher!”
The bearded uncle lowered his sleeves, looking at the four who were losing control of their emotions, shaking his head in disappointment.
He felt somewhat reassured only when he glanced at Lin Yu, who remained relatively calm.
This newcomer… had a better mindset than the others!
Sometimes, a slight difference in mindset in the dungeon could determine life or death!
He steadied himself and continued speaking.
“There’s not completely no hope… As someone who has been through this, I can offer you some advice!
“There are rules in the dungeon! The ghosts are not reckless in the dungeon!
“As long as you follow the rules and don’t meet the ghost’s killing criteria, you might get injured… but you won’t die!
“What are the ‘rules’? Generally, the most important ones will be directly told to you by the ghost or written in very obvious places… but those aren’t all the rules!”
Hearing the bearded man’s words, Lin Yu also nodded slightly.
This was consistent with the results of his own investigation…
Since these words came from the mouth of a five-time survivor, their credibility increased again.
However, the uncle didn’t mention the correlation between the number of rules and the difficulty of the dungeon.
It was unclear whether he didn’t know or chose not to explain to avoid causing panic, or if… that was false information.
Lin Yu didn’t voice any objections, as he felt this bearded uncle wasn’t completely trustworthy.
To survive five times, he must have a very strong will to live!
For his own survival, these newcomers… might all be expendable to him!
The other four remained immersed in shock and fear, processing the bearded uncle’s words, their expressions fluctuating, uncertain of their thoughts.
At that moment…
An old, raspy cough interrupted.
Cough cough…
An elderly man with grayish skin, a face full of wrinkles and brown spots, pushed the wooden door open and walked into the courtyard.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The ghost has arrived!
