After the Skyfall

Chapter 495 Worms

The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy, and the lighting was bright. Li Yi could see the outside world through the thick windows.

However, it was still pitch black outside. There was no daytime. There were only lights from other buildings in the distance. Apart from that, you could occasionally see dead souls flying around in the sky. Danger was everywhere in this world.

Li Yi didn't think much about it, he just set the time and then lay down on the bed to sleep.

He wanted to try and see if he could receive Xuan Yuezi's dream-telling technique after falling asleep.

However, when Li Yi fell asleep, he did not dream of Xuan Yuezi, but had a nightmare instead.

In the dream, he was wrapped in darkness, with countless huge eyes spying on him. He felt very small and powerless. He wanted to break free but was unable to do so. Moreover, he seemed to be infected by evil power in the dream. Many black hairs emerged from his pores. These hairs grew longer and longer, wrapping around him tightly, making him suffocated and desperate.

Dreams are short.

But a long time passed.

Li Yi was awakened from his sleep only when the alarm on his cell phone rang.

The moment Li Yi opened his eyes, he suddenly sat up. He felt it was incredible that he would have a nightmare.

After he condensed his soul, his thoughts were united. Unless someone sent him a dream, he would not have a nightmare.

"The curse of the evil god?" Li Yi looked at the back of his hand.

The faint mark is lingering, and under the eyes of the evolver, the mark seems to emit a faint black aura, evil and ominous. If this evil is allowed to reside in the body, the body may really mutate, grow black hair all over, and turn into a strange monster.

"It seems I have to find the golden apple quickly to wash away the curse, otherwise the impact on me will become more and more serious."

Without hesitation, he tidied himself up and immediately walked out of the room, ready to take action.

But as soon as I went out, I found that there were a lot of people gathered outside.

Li Yi's arrival attracted everyone's attention and the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Hmm?" His expression changed and he looked at these people, only to find that they had prepared their armor, swords, and gathered manpower, as if they were planning to take an adventure.

"Sir, they want to go on an adventure with us." At this moment, Sun Fei walked over and spoke in a low voice.

"You guys go back. I'm not used to leading a team." Li Yi said.

He didn't want to take the risk of going into the passage with a group of burdens, because these people were too weak and couldn't even protect themselves. Going there would be seeking death.

"Give us a chance to follow you," someone shouted.

"Since you have moved in here and become a new resident, you have the responsibility and obligation to help us and train new adventurers." Someone shouted.

"We shared the information about the channel with you, and you should give something back to us. Even if you don't need us to take risks, you still have to give us 30% of the spoils according to the rules." Some people also thought about the benefits.

Li Yi frowned as he listened.

When did rules become a tool to kidnap others?
"No wonder this building is in decline. It turns out that it houses a group of people who want to get something for nothing. I just passed by before and didn't notice it." Li Yi said calmly, then glanced at the woman named Bai You in the crowd.

The woman looked calm at the moment and didn't think there was anything wrong with the matter.

After all, it was the same thing after Li Yi killed the golden rat before, and he took away 30% of the spoils.

"Sir, I suggest that we move to another building temporarily. This building has no enlightened leader and the atmosphere has become bad. Although they still abide by the rules, the rest of the people are just thinking about getting something for nothing and hope to get a piece of meat from the powerful adventurers. They have no respect or courtesy at all." Sun Fei said in a low voice.

"I've encountered similar things before. The traditional rules in the building were established to protect the weak. But when people find that they can always rely on the strong to survive, this group will continue to grow until it finally drags down all the adventurers in the building, and finally declines and perishes."

Li Yi understood this principle.

It's very simple. There are too many adventurers in one building supporting people who want to gain something for nothing, which leads to adventurers leaving or dying one after another.

Those who want to gain something for nothing are unwilling to take over the adventurers' place, so the balance of the building will be broken and eventually it will be swallowed up by darkness.

Originally, there were no adventurers in this building, but Li Yi's arrival gave these people hope. They wanted to use the rules to kidnap him and make him the new provider of the building, so that they could take away 30% of Li Yi's spoils without doing anything.

So the real darkness is not the sky outside, but the greed and ugliness of people's hearts.

Of course, the formulation of rules is not all disadvantages, it also has advantages, that is, in front of powerful adventurers, the weak also have the right to survive.

Li Yi had just arrived and had no intention of challenging the traditional rules. He just said calmly: "You want to share the spoils, no problem, then you have to go with me to take risks outside the building."

"You, you, and you, and finally you, Bai You."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at everyone who had spoken before.

There are two extremes among those named: either they are excited and feel they can take risks, or they are terrified because they do not have the courage to leave the building and only want to share the spoils.

"No, I'm too weak and don't want to take risks." Someone hurriedly refused.

Sun Fei shouted, "You have no right to refuse unless you are willing to give up sharing the spoils."

"Well, then I will give up sharing the spoils." The man hesitated and spoke.

He cared more about his life than the spoils. Sun Fei continued, "It's too late. You have already accepted a share of the spoils once before, just a few days ago, the golden rat. Have you forgotten? You have taken the spoils, which means that you must now fulfill your responsibilities as an adventurer and become our teammate, otherwise you will be kicked out of this building."

He is well aware of the traditional rules.

So when Li Yi had no teammates, they had to contribute as long as they received Li Yi's spoils.

Of course, the premise is that Li Yi insists on this request. If he is soft-hearted and indulges them, then he is doomed.

“Whoever doesn’t go must leave this building.” Sun Fei said again, “If you want to share the spoils, all those whose names are mentioned must follow us.”

Everyone fell silent again.

Rules protect them and also restrain them.

No matter how reluctant they were and how much they wanted to avoid it, a dozen young people finally came out.

"Follow me." Li Yi had a blank expression on his face, and then strode out of the building.

"Let him go. Anyway, we are weak and cannot deal with the monster. We can just let him kill the monster when the time comes."

"That's right. When the time comes, we must take away the benefits that belong to us from every monster. Not a single gold coin can be left behind."

"This person is very powerful, and we will definitely gain a lot from this trip."

These people followed Li Yi out of the building, and then started talking to each other, with excitement on their faces.

Li Yi said nothing and led them out of the bright building and into the darkness outside.

Without the protection of the holy corpse, the evil god's curse in Li Yi's hand immediately took effect.

The monsters in the darkness nearby were immediately attracted over.

"What's that noise?" Someone in the team looked around in fear, not knowing if it was an illusion, but it seemed like something just passed by them.

Above their heads, the familiar dead souls appeared again, making strange noises and flying towards them quickly with sickles in their hands.

However, at this moment Li Yi stopped and no longer moved forward.

"Hey, why don't you leave? There seem to be a lot of monsters here. It's not safe for us to stay here. Let's go to the passage quickly. Don't you have the golden rat skin? Maybe you can get a huge treasure." Someone shouted to Li Yi hurriedly.

Li Yi still didn't speak.

His silver eyes saw through the darkness and found that the monsters were coming.

"what!"

The next moment, a miserable cry rang out in the team, and a man was instantly knocked to the ground by the monster in the darkness, and then quickly carried away.

The dead soul monster also rushed into the crowd waving a sickle. With a swing of the sickle, it immediately cut off a person's head.

The blood splattered, shocking everyone around.

Then they realized that they were attacked by a monster.

"Help, help." They shouted for help and then swung around with the simple weapons in their hands.

Sun Fei in the crowd also said nothing. He understood Li Yi's idea. He wanted to use the name of adventure to take these selfish and weak people to die in the darkness.

This situation is not uncommon. Adventurers forcibly clear out the incompetent people in the building, which helps to restore order in the building.

So their cries for help were doomed to be in vain.

Li Yi's evil god curse attracted too many monsters, and most of the dozen people died in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you doing this?" At this moment, the girl named Bai You looked at Li Yi and questioned: "You don't want to take them into danger, but there is no need to kill them. There are not many people in the building. You will destroy the building by doing this."

Li Yi said calmly: "There are too many termites who want to gain something for nothing. Only when one group of them disappears can more people survive. I am trying to save this building, not destroy it."

"So, I am also a termite?" Bai You said.

Li Yi asked back: "Are you special?"

Bai You fell silent immediately.

She can sense the changes in the holy corpse and the location of monsters, which can be of great help to adventurers. People in the building are quite respectful to her, but after really walking into the darkness, she found that there seemed to be nothing special.

next moment.

A huge pale arm stretched out from the darkness, grabbed Bai You, and quickly pulled him into the darkness, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Li Yi watched all this without taking any action, just waiting for these people to disappear.
