74: Chapter 74 The Eternal Resting Palace 1

Luo Yuejian opened her eyes. A damp, decaying scent rushed at her. Dim light emanated from ancient oil lamps embedded in the walls, casting flickering, illusory shadows over the surroundings.

Her eyes held a bone-chilling indifference, as if they were ice that had not melted for a thousand years.

The main livestream room for this game:

"Wuwuwu, Moon God, it's been so long, I missed you so much!"

"Moon God go! go! go!"

"This beauty makes my heart race every time I see it, TAT!"

"Moon God, do you still remember me? Moon God! We didn't even know each other when you were little!"

"Who is this, calling themselves a god so early? The one with the white hair?"

"Her face is pretty, but I advise the fans not to simp too hard. It'll be embarrassing if she dies this round."

"Don't worry about it. My Moon God's nickname is the Face-Slapping Queen. Just waiting for you all to get your faces slapped."

...

Luo Yuejian's mind was still groggy, as if someone had struck her with a club. She touched the uneven stone wall to stand up and subconsciously walked forward.

The stone slab beneath her feet was uneven, worn by the passage of time, and emitted a dull sound with every step.

Suddenly, Luo Yuejian stopped. She felt as if she had stepped on something. Something had suddenly depressed under her weight.

Luo Yuejian was startled. Her first instinct was that she had triggered some kind of mechanism or trap, so she immediately froze. But then, her consciousness gradually returned, and she suddenly realized—

Wait, wasn't her goal to slack off and die? Good grief, such a perfect opportunity right in front of her?

Luo Yuejian immediately wanted to lift her foot, but a system beep suddenly sounded in her mind: "Beep—Detected that the host is attempting to commit suicide. One yellow card warning issued."

The system's warning made Luo Yuejian freeze again. She secretly felt annoyed; she had missed such a good opportunity just now!

A voice suddenly came from behind her, sounding not too far away: "Is anyone there? Is anyone there!"

The voice drew closer over time. Gradually, Luo Yuejian could hear the footsteps. As they got closer, the person behind seemed to have discovered her, and their tone became pleasantly surprised.

"Oh, there is someone here. Why didn't you answer when I called for so long? You scared me, I thought there was nobody in this ghost place."

Luo Yuejian stood frozen in place. The situation was extremely awkward for her. She had originally wanted to crouch down and check the mechanism she was stepping on to see if she could release herself, or perhaps trigger the trap directly.

But as soon as she heard someone calling her from behind, her old habits kicked in. Her body instantly stiffened, and she desperately wanted to run away. However, the trap she was stepping on prevented her from moving.

Luo Yuejian could only stand there stiffly, listening to the person behind her getting closer and closer, until she could almost feel the air from the person's speech on the back of her neck.

The person continued to ask: "Why aren't you talking? Why won't you turn around? Is there something in front of you?"

Luo Yuejian was already cursing internally. Because the person behind her was so close, every hair on her body stood on end, and her muscles tensed like a bowstring.

What Luo Yuejian didn't know was that from the perspective of the livestream room, there was no one behind her.

At this moment in the livestream room:

"What the hell, what sound? There's no one nearby, right?"

"My goosebumps are rising. Are there ghosts in this dungeon?"

"Mommy, you guys should check out the White-haired Beauty's livestream room. That sound is like it's right in her ear. It has a stereo echo effect, feels like watching a horror movie."

"Is that thing trying to lure the Moon God to turn around? Moon God, you must not turn around!"

"Damn, the tone and attitude of this voice are exactly like a normal person. If it were me, I'd definitely turn around to look!"

"If you turn around, you're dead. I just checked other players' livestream rooms. Two players encountered this situation, and they died as soon as they turned around."

"Seriously, it's an instant kill once you show your head, their heads just fall off. Exciting, hahahaha."

"The White-haired Beauty probably doesn't know what's behind her either. I feel like she's definitely going to turn around. I can't bear to see such a pretty head fall off."

"Feels a bit dangerous, but I choose to trust the Moon God."

"Don't worry, the Moon God must have already sensed the danger, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped suddenly just now."

"The Moon God definitely noticed some small details we didn't. I've already taken out my notebook to record it!"

...

The voice behind her kept chattering: "Hey, do you know it's very rude to be like this? I'm talking to you and you won't even answer me? You... What is that?!"

The person behind her suddenly exclaimed, and in the next second, there was no more sound. It was as quiet as if no one had been there at all.

Something must have happened behind her, and it was likely a fatal danger, otherwise that noisy guy wouldn't have suddenly stopped talking.

Luo Yuejian realized this and instinctively wanted to turn around to see what had happened. But then she suddenly thought: wait, her goal was to die. She had already missed one perfect opportunity, did she want to miss this one too?

Besides, she had a reason not to turn around this time, because she was stepping on a mechanism. What if she turned and triggered the trap instead?

If there really was a monster behind her, given the speed at which it killed the person behind her, she would definitely be dead!

Luo Yuejian stood there happily waiting to die, but one second, two seconds... one minute... two minutes...

Luo Yuejian was getting a little impatient. She thought, is the monster eating someone? Why is it so slow?

She waited a while longer, but there was still no movement behind her, as if nothing had happened. Luo Yuejian finally realized something was wrong.

What's going on?

Where is the person behind her? Where is the monster? Anything is fine, just let someone come and finish her off!

After a long time, there was still no movement behind her, and Luo Yuejian had to accept her fate. She felt quite speechless—did the person behind her run away on their own? They didn't even say a word before leaving, making her wait here for so long.

What a waste of excitement.

Helpless, since there was no one behind her, her body was free to move. She had to crouch down to see what she was stepping on.

As she lowered her head, she didn't notice that a pitch-black creature, whose specific form couldn't be seen clearly, suddenly flew past the area near her head.

That pitch-black creature had a pair of sharp claws. If those claws had actually touched Luo Yuejian's neck just now, her head might have fallen off.

The amazing thing was that when this pitch-black creature flew, it didn't make a sound, nor did it stir up even a hint of wind.

As a result, after Luo Yuejian crouched down, she didn't realize at all that she had just brushed shoulders with death.

At this moment in the game livestream room:

"Awesome! I'll just ask, who! else!"
