Letting others kill himself, was this boss out of his mind?

Generally, if a person is driven to desperation, they are capable of anything, even murder, without hesitation.

What's more, there were so many people in the cellar; how could they willingly die at the boss's hands?

"Boss, why are you doing this?" A slightly younger-looking man asked the boss, puzzled.

The boss sighed helplessly and said, "Actually, I don't want to do this either, but some people don't deserve to live in this world."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the boss with confusion.

What did he mean by "some people"?

If it was just "some people," why did he trap everyone here?

"But we have no grudges!" someone said, dissatisfied.

"We have no grudges, that's right. Blame yourselves for being human. Humans deserve to die."

The boss almost gritted his teeth when he said this.

It was clear how much he hated humanity.

But the strange thing was, wasn't he human himself? Why did he hate humans?

Could it be that something had happened between him and humans?

If something hadn't happened, he wouldn't have this kind of mentality.

"Aren't you human yourself? Shouldn't you die too?" one of the men grunted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others chimed in, "Yeah, aren't you human too? If you think we deserve to die, then kill yourself first!"

Faced with the crowd's jeering, the boss didn't panic at all. He took out a dagger from his pocket and looked at the people in front of him expressionlessly. Without saying a word, he plunged the dagger straight into his heart.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw this scene because they never dreamed that the boss would really commit suicide.

"Is this boss a madman?"

"Definitely a madman. A normal person wouldn't do something like this. We're really unlucky to have encountered someone like this!"

For a time, the cellar was filled with discussion.

Just when they thought the boss was sure to die, he actually pulled the dagger out again.

But strangely, even though the dagger had pierced his heart, not a single drop of blood flowed.

"Holy crap, what the hell is going on? Why isn't he bleeding? Could it be that he's not alive? That he's already dead?"

Seeing this, everyone panicked.

They could deal with a living person, but how could they deal with a dead person?

"No wonder he could stab the dagger into his heart without hesitation. It turns out he was already dead. Since he's already dead, then we don't need to hold back. Let's all work together to take him down and then escape from here."

Under the urging, everyone, for the sake of their lives, couldn't care less and rushed towards the boss. One of them snatched the dagger from the boss's hand and stabbed it fiercely into his neck.

The boss didn't shout and just stood there.

Although Yuan Mu Ye couldn't see what was happening inside from the outside, he knew from the movement inside that the situation wasn't good. He originally wanted to go straight in, but after thinking about the system's prompts, he gave up the idea.

"Sigh..."

Yuan Mu Ye sighed and thought that the system might know something, so he asked, "Can you tell what kind of person that boss is?"

"I don't know, but I can be sure he's not alive," the system replied coldly.

Not alive?

Yuan Mu Ye really hadn't seen that.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little doubtful of himself. He had already reached the middle to late stages of the Shuntian realm, so why couldn't he see this?

Just then, Ghost Advisor suddenly said, "My lord, I suspect that the hotel owner is the protagonist in the book you were just reading."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was stunned on the spot, thinking that this was impossible.

But on second thought, it wasn't impossible. Either that, or the boss knew the protagonist in the story.

"Then what should I do next? Should I go in and save those people?"

"Forget it. If you go in, you'll be implicated," Ghost Advisor said bluntly.

It wasn't that Ghost Advisor was heartless, but that he didn't want anything to happen to Yuan Mu Ye.

Those people could kill others for their own sake, so they could definitely do even more crazy things.

Yuan Mu Ye was a little hesitant at first, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

After about four or five minutes, the people hiding in the cellar rushed out one after another.

Yuan Mu Ye quickly found a place to hide. He was surprised to find that each of them was holding a piece of something. On closer inspection, he found that it was a piece of meat!

Holy crap!

There was no need to ask whose meat it was.

Were those people really that ruthless? They had actually dismembered the boss into eight pieces!

Yuan Mu Ye frowned, and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Although the boss wanted to kill them first, their actions were really a bit scary.

The first few people who escaped looked at the dark forest and didn't dare to run anywhere else.

"What should we do next? It's so dark all around. If evil spirits appear, we'll definitely be unable to escape."

"Now that the boss is dead, we don't need to follow any rules. Let's just go to the hotel. Now, no one should be able to stop us!"

Someone suggested.

The others didn't want to stay in this wilderness, so they agreed with his suggestion.

After discussing it, they went straight to the hotel.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but gasp, looking at the entrance to the cellar. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately returned to the hotel.

But what happened next shocked them all.

Yuan Mu Ye returned to the hotel one step ahead of them. Just as he was about to go upstairs, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Young man, where have you been so late?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Yuan Mu Ye suddenly felt a surge of fear in his heart. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

He slowly turned around and, unsurprisingly, saw a familiar yet strange face.

It was the boss!

Wasn't the boss already dead? And wasn't he dismembered by those people? How was he still here?

"Boss... weren't you just..."

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't say it.

Because it was too scary!

The boss looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "What about me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of rapid knocking on the door.

"Open the door!"

The boss then turned and walked towards the door.

Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but sweat for those people. If they saw that the boss was still alive, they would probably be scared to death!
