The Instance Ends

Before onlookers and those in the live stream could gasp in surprise, Night Moon's separated body suddenly became even more transparent, and within moments it had completely melted, dripping into the surrounding water.

Lin Yi raised his hand and retrieved the flying kitchen knife. In the rain, a new Night Moon had risen from the flowing water once more.

"So this is your Rules. No wonder he sent you here." Lin Yi frowned, his blood-red eyes fogged up by the rain, blurring his vision.

We still lost. This guy was definitely prepared all along.

His Rules against Night Moon, who is immune to physical attacks, will most likely result in a stalemate, with each side waiting for the other to run out of energy first. But will Lin Nieran let him go so easily?

The sounds of colliding energies from the North were deafening and intense, yet the residents of the neighborhood felt unusually relaxed.

After being weakened by the Writer, the monsters are no longer so difficult to deal with; a well-coordinated team can eliminate one without taking any damage.

As more and more teammates were rescued, more and more people joined the fight against the strange creatures.

The enhanced Wen Keke perfectly utilized her abilities to capture most of the Weird Object.

In her words, she wouldn't waste anything. Since no one wanted to stay here to revive the monster, she might as well keep it for now and return it to them after leaving the Instance.

Besides her, there were two other people who were almost insane with killing and were also collecting Weird Object: Bai Yang and Flower Language.

As soon as one of them kills a monster, the other immediately tries to follow suit, as if they're competing with each other.

Seeing that the strange occurrences in the neighborhood had been mostly resolved, Qin Rang removed the Limited-Edition Gentle Evil Ghost Mask and dragged the excited Bai Yang back home.

"Don't stop me! I can still kill!" Bai Yang and the Little Cat in his arms cried out excitedly. The Little Rabbit was exhausted and wouldn't get off his shoulder, its ears drooping low behind its head.

Qin Rang wiped the raindrops from his eyes and forced them open, saying, "Give them what they have here. They're all low-level monsters; killing them wouldn't be of much use to us. It's been so long; I wonder what's going on over there. Let's go check on Moonlit Night— "

"Watch out!" Sheng Qingqiao suddenly shouted from beside him, "Keep your head down!"

Their bodies moved faster than their minds; in unison, everyone ducked and lowered their heads. A silent, swift blade of light sliced through the tall building and the rain, the aftershocks flying over their heads.

The Bai Ao rubbed its cold head. If it hadn't lowered its head, their heads would have been flying up with the rain.

"Sheng Qingqiao, your intuition is more reliable than any warning about Weird Object."

While everyone was still shaken, they praised Sheng Qingqiao's accurate intuition about the crisis, Sheng Qingqiao chuckled.

After this unexpected incident, they did not delay and rushed to Wang Ding's side.

"How's it going?"

Qin Rang, wading through the water, approached him and took Wang Ding's glasses to examine them closely.

"We've been fighting for over half an hour, and the battle has reached a stalemate." Wang Ding's clothes were already soaked through. The terrain where they were located wasn't high, and if they stayed there any longer, they would be flooded.

Tang Pin added, "Moonlit Night is immune to physical attacks in water, and Lin Yi's Rules seems to be an extremely strong self-healing ability; they cannot kill each other."

Bai Yang left the Writer at the stairwell, where he could take shelter from the rain, and watched the two strange figures fight.

Tao Yuan placed the scalding Chainsaw in water to cool it down, and asked Bai Yang, "Does your organization have any way to deal with Lin Yi?"

"Yes, but the ones that can be solved haven't come yet." The Master hasn't drawn one yet.

"This stalemate isn't going to work."

"Wait, Captain Qin Rang, wouldn't your mask be just what you need to do right now?" someone suddenly said. "By making him immune to Lin Yi's Rules, wouldn't that kill him?"

"No," Bai Yang said. "Their Rules are far superior to those of the masked Weird Object. Qin Rang's current energy is insufficient to sustain the Weird Object until they take effect. If he uses the Rules, he'll be dead."

Qin Rang nodded. "That's right."

"So we can only watch like this?" Mi Chuchu asked.

Tao Yuan fished the Chainsaw out of the water and hung it back on his waist. He walked under An Ying's umbrella and vigorously wiped the water off his face. Here, only under An Ying's umbrella could keep the rain from hitting his face so hard.

Wang Ding caught a glimpse of it and secretly resolved to remember to bring a raincoat when he went out in the future, because who knew what strange abilities the people in this organization might have.

At that moment, Flower Language's wet figure emerged from the water.

"It won't be long."

Her entire body was covered in Rose Thorns Vines, which became even more vibrant and lush as they were drenched in water. Her body was no longer recognizable as human, and she moved quickly through the rain, propelled by the Vines behind her.

"Of course, the Feeder has a way."

At the North Gate, as Night Moon once again plunged the rain-transformed blades into Lin Yi's body, Lin Yi suddenly realized that the blood within him was being drawn towards Night Moon.

Is this an attempt to drain his blood completely?

Lin Yi resolutely swung his sword to sever the part of his body that was in contact with Night Moon, trying to separate the energy that was drawing blood from him. However, the rainwater around him tightly sealed the wound, forcibly sticking his body back together.

Not only that, the excess blood and rainwater clung tightly to his body, forming water ropes that pushed the blade in Night Moon's hand deeper into his body.

Within the water curtain, Night Moon's rain-like body suddenly seemed to freeze slightly.

He extended his left hand, and a transparent red left-hand glove appeared in his palm.

The moment Lin Yi saw the gloves, he almost laughed in anger.

"Okay, very good." These words didn't sound like something Lin Yi would say when he was a child; rather, they sounded more like something he would say when he was a young man wearing a mask.

Lin Nieran has a pair of gloves left to him by his Dad. He uses his right hand to forge and repair Weird Artifacts Weird Artifact, and his left hand to destroy life.

It is Lin Yi's natural nemesis.

Lin Yi did not resist anymore. He watched as his body was dissolved by the gloves and the Rules dissipated.

As Lin Yi's body was pierced by the rain and he fell to the ground, the heavy rain stopped abruptly.

[Congratulations! You have achieved Perfect Clear of the Happy Residential Complex Instance!]

A happy neighborhood, a happy family

Some families are happy and harmonious, some are ordinary and uneventful, and some are the original sin of everything.

Do you want a family that's strangely cold yet harmonious, or one that's genuinely warm but imperfect?

[Due to a bizarre mass death, the Instance has completely collapsed, and you have been forcibly removed from the Instance.]

Standing in front of the residential compound, Lin Nieran looked down and saw some ashes he had burned before entering; he had been sent back to the place where he had come in.

Looking up again, the neighborhood was utterly silent in the darkness.

He reached out and pushed open the old gate of the residential area; the gate where he burned paper money happened to be the North Gate entrance.

Lin Nieran retrieved all of Night Moon's cards and put them to rest in the Boundless Land. This place was definitely under the watchful eyes of the Authorities, and having them here could easily expose them.

The Community Facilities North Gate were already dilapidated and weathered. Lin Nieran didn't go any further. He just looked at the Masked Youth had reappeared beside him and smiled, "You're back?"

Lin Yi's bloodshot eyes remained filled with murderous intent, and he still seemed to have some lingering moisture on his body. "Here we go again."

Lin Nieran laughed, "The trick may be old, but it works."

"We've seen it all, we've fought it all, shall we go home?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. "Do I have the right to decide?"

You don't.
