Lin Feng had died with a terrified expression on his face. Clearly, he had been frightened to death!
What had happened to him left many of the more timid viewers too scared to keep watching.
They feared they would dream of that horrifying ghostly face when they went to sleep that night!
Some had even decided never to get married for the rest of their lives!
It was too fucking terrifying!
But compared with what had happened to Lin Feng, the scene in the cafeteria was perfectly peaceful.
Tang Xiaoling held a chicken drumstick in one hand and a pig's trotter in the other, eating until her mouth was smeared with grease.
Beside her, Lady Ten watched her wolf down her food, her face filled with tenderness.
Every so often, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Tang Xiaoling's mouth without the slightest hint of distaste.
Then she thoughtfully handed her a drink, afraid she might choke.
"Lingling, there's no rush. Eat slowly."
Lady Ten gave her a concerned reminder, then picked up a large piece of fish and placed it on her own plate.
She carefully removed the bones with her chopsticks and checked it several times before putting it in Tang Xiaoling's bowl.
"Have some fish. It's very fresh."
"Thank you, Auntie..." Tang Xiaoling mumbled through a mouthful of food.
Seeing this, the viewers had completely given up resisting the obvious.
"That settles it. Tang Xiaoling's father must be someone important!"
"I think so too. Otherwise, why would this Lord-Level Evil Spirit treat her so well?"
"Hey, do you think... this female Evil Spirit wants to fatten Tang Xiaoling up before eating her?"
"Give it up, commenter above. Tang Xiaoling is only spending three days in the Instance. How much fatter could she possibly get?"
"It's not that I want the little girl to die, but there are still two days before the Instance ends. Nobody can guarantee what'll happen!"
"Exactly! Counting Lin Feng, three people have already died today. At this rate, they'll all be wiped out on the third day!"
"Oh, please! Tang Xiaoling would outlive you! Accept reality!"
But even so, the viewers found this reality hard to accept.
In the twenty years since Evil Spirit Instances had appeared, nothing like this had ever happened.
Who had ever entered one without narrowly escaping death and enduring countless torments?
Even the lucky survivors had to see therapists and spend ages recovering.
Nobody had ever been like Tang Xiaoling, eating and playing after entering as though she were on vacation!
If every Instance were like this, the real world would have been deserted long ago.
Everyone would have pulled every string they could find to get inside with their entire families!
But whether the viewers accepted it or not, the facts were right there before them.
Tang Xiaoling, whom they had expected to die the moment she arrived, was not only fine but was now doing better than any of the other players!
Yet just then, something unexpected happened!
Four lines of blood-red text appeared before everyone.
At the same time, the players inside the Instance heard a mission notification.
[Attention! Attention!] [The Amusement Park's chairman will arrive shortly. The rules for all players have changed. Proceed to the cafeteria immediately to welcome the chairman!] [Anyone who fails to arrive within the allotted time will receive severe punishment!] [Time until the chairman's arrival: 3 minutes!]
The sudden change stunned not only the viewers.
Even the players inside the game were deeply shocked.
The Evil Spirit Amusement Park had appeared many times before, but nobody had ever heard of a stage involving the chairman's arrival!
Were they really unlucky enough to have encountered an unexpected event?!
Over the past twenty years, people had also discovered that Instances did not always remain the same.
Sometimes, an unforeseen event would suddenly arise, causing enormous changes throughout the entire Instance!
For the players, this was undoubtedly the deadliest thing that could happen!
After learning about the Instance, they had become familiar with its rules and were all following them with painstaking care.
But this sudden change left them unable to predict what would happen next.
One tiny mistake could leave them torn apart and devoured by a horde of spirits!
But now, there was no point saying anything.
If they wanted to survive, they could only obey this new rule.
With three minutes to spare, the remaining four players aside from Tang Xiaoling and Roman all raced desperately toward the cafeteria.
They no longer had the presence of mind to worry about whether Evil Spirits were still blocking the entrance.
Even if there were, they would have to force their way inside!
After all, obeying the rules might still allow them to survive.
But breaking them meant certain death!
Tang Xiaoling, of course, was the exception.
Less than a minute after the rule-change notification appeared, Old He, a man in his fifties, was the first to arrive.
But the moment he entered, Lady Ten's gaze fell on him.
The instant their eyes met, Old He's legs went weak and cold sweat broke out across his forehead.
If the rules had not constrained him, he would already have turned and fled!
But he soon noticed that Tang Xiaoling was sitting beside that Evil Spirit, heartily enjoying her food.
Meanwhile, the Evil Spirit wore a kindly smile as she kept serving Tang Xiaoling food and wiping the corners of her mouth.
The sight left Old He utterly rattled.
He could not understand why a mighty Lord-Level Evil Spirit would wait on a human while she ate!
Could it be that, despite her formidable strength, this female Evil Spirit was not actually vicious?
Otherwise, how could she be so friendly toward a human who was supposed to be food?
But Old He only dared entertain the thought. He did not have the courage to test it.
Who knew what this Evil Spirit was really up to!
What if she was just so bored her breasts ached and had come here to indulge her maternal instincts?
As a grown man in his fifties, he had better not join in.
If he accidentally angered her...
She would not even need to follow the rules to kill him!
Old He withdrew his gaze, only to find that he had no idea where to look.
Everywhere he looked seemed somehow inappropriate.
In the end, he simply looked at Roman on the floor.
It seemed that only looking at her, a fellow human, could give Old He a little peace of mind.
But just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
Startled, Old He hurriedly turned to look.
He discovered that, at some point, Evil Spirits had crowded the area outside!
There were more than twice as many as before!
It seemed that every Evil Spirit in the Amusement Park had gathered here!
Were they here to welcome the chairman too?
They wouldn't suddenly rush in and eat me, would they...?
Unease gripped Old He, and he swallowed hard.
Both his calves began cramping treacherously, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
But just then, he suddenly spotted a headless Evil Spirit running rapidly toward him.
In the blink of an eye, it opened the door and ran straight inside!
At the sight, Old He's legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor.
But just as he was about to scream, the "Evil Spirit" suddenly reached out and covered his mouth.
"Don't shout! It's me!"
As he spoke, the headless "Evil Spirit" pulled his clothes down, revealing his head.
Old He took a closer look and realized it was Li Zhuang. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
It turned out that Li Zhuang had been too scared to enter after seeing all those Evil Spirits.
But with the countdown about to end, he had steeled himself, covered his head with his clothes, and dashed inside.
To Old He, however, he had looked like a headless Evil Spirit!
