"Crap… she's not going to take advantage of me again while she has the chance, is she?"
Only after climbing into the coffin did Lin Yu suddenly realize a serious problem.
After all, there were only a few minutes left before the next Safe Period.
And during the Safe Period, the Blood Clan Queen would likely choose the nearest coffin to rest in.
Wouldn't that mean—
He was about to get taken advantage of again?
At that thought, Lin Yu's expression instantly turned awkward.
Unfortunately, there was no room for regret now.
After all—
When he climbed into the coffin, he'd already closed the lid behind him.
If he pushed it open now, he might end up staring straight into the Blood Clan Queen's eyes.
The situation unfolded exactly as Lin Yu feared.
When the Safe Period arrived, the Blood Clan Queen once again lay down inside the coffin.
[She's here! She's here! Same scene as always!]
[I don't even want to say the word "envy" anymore…]
[Honestly, if anyone else got a purple-quality item, I'd be jealous—but if it's Lin Yu, I'm not jealous at all.]
[Just the fact that he can sacrifice his dignity and sleep in the same coffin as the Blood Clan Queen—there aren't many players in the Horror Game who could pull that off.]
[What if when the Safe Period ends, she gives Lin Yu another item?]
[Damn it! If that happens, I'd be fine with just a blue-quality item, honestly!]
[I swear—this guy is built different!]
...
Watching that familiar scene unfold, the livestream audience couldn't help but smile knowingly.
To be fair, they weren't that jealous about the purple-quality item anymore.
After all—
Being able to stay calm enough to lie beside the Blood Clan Queen inside a coffin wasn't something an ordinary player could do.
If it were them, they'd probably break down under the pressure and do something stupid.
...
Time passed, second by second.
Lin Yu, safely within the Safe Period, felt nothing but boredom.
But he didn't dare move.
The Blood Clan Queen beside him was clearly resting.
If he accidentally woke her up, there would be no escape.
Still—
Lin Yu couldn't deny that he owed his completed side quest and valuable items to her, albeit unintentionally.
Because of that, the fear he felt toward her had faded considerably.
In fact, curiosity began to creep in—
What did the Blood Clan Queen actually look like?
[Safe Period ending! All players, remain alert!]
[Safe Period ending! All players, remain alert!]
The system notification sounded twice in a row.
Lin Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.
The end of the Safe Period meant the Blood Clan Queen would leave.
That was what he thought—
But something completely unexpected happened.
After the Safe Period ended, the Blood Clan Queen did not leave.
She remained perfectly still, lying beside him.
This made Lin Yu frown in confusion.
This situation was completely outside his expectations.
However, he didn't panic.
Instead, he chose to wait and observe.
But—
This wait far exceeded anything he'd anticipated.
[Safe Period activated! Time remaining: 04:59]
[Safe Period activated! Time remaining: 04:58]
...
A full 25 minutes passed.
Until the next Safe Period arrived.
And throughout the entire time—
The Blood Clan Queen didn't move an inch.
Strangely enough, Lin Yu didn't feel nervous.
From a certain perspective, he was actually very safe right now.
The only downside was—
He had no chance to search for items.
And holding the same position for too long made his legs go numb.
"If this keeps up until the dungeon ends… I guess that works too…"
Checking the remaining dungeon time, Lin Yu sighed quietly to himself.
Even when the Safe Period ended again, the Blood Clan Queen still showed no reaction.
Seeing that she clearly had no intention of leaving, Lin Yu stopped overthinking it.
He simply gave up and decided to rest inside the coffin until the dungeon ended.
Time flowed by slowly.
Just as Lin Yu was about to close his eyes—
A faint, delicate fragrance drifted into his nose.
It seemed to be coming from the Blood Clan Queen.
At first, Lin Yu didn't react.
But when his eyelids began to grow heavy against his will, his expression finally changed.
Unfortunately—
By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late.
His consciousness faded, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Time flew by.
Very quickly—
There was only about one minute left until the dungeon ended.
[What's going on? Lin Yu looks like he's planning to sleep until the dungeon clears.]
[His nerves are insane—how can he fall asleep in this situation?]
[Other players fight for their lives in dungeons, and Lin Yu clears it by lying down. I'm so jealous.]
[If it were me, sleeping next to the Blood Clan Queen, I wouldn't dare blink.]
[Are newbie players all this terrifying now?]
[You don't get it—Lin Yu and the Blood Clan Queen are basically an old married couple at this point. That's why he can sleep so peacefully.]
[Old married couple my ass—are you trying to kill me laughing and steal my 200 QQ coins?!]
...
Seeing Lin Yu about to clear the dungeon, the livestream audience was once again stunned.
Clearing a horror dungeon by lying down wasn't unheard of—
But legitimately lying down from start to finish and clearing it?
That was something no one even dared imagine.
Especially not in the Vampire Castle, a dungeon that no player had ever cleared before.
The jealousy was overwhelming.
However—
Just as everyone thought Lin Yu was about to clear the dungeon—
Something unimaginable happened.
The Blood Clan Queen, who had shown no reaction since entering the coffin—
Suddenly opened her eyes.
Her blood-red pupils sent a wave of terror through everyone watching the stream.
...
"Lin Yu… wake up. It's time to get up…"
A young girl's voice suddenly echoed in Lin Yu's ears.
"Huang Yiyi, you wake up this early every day—that's why you're malnourished…"
"Stop talking… let me sleep a bit longer…"
Without opening his eyes, Lin Yu subconsciously replied.
After all, the girl living across the hall, Huang Yiyi, often snuck into his apartment in the mornings to wake him up.
But the moment the words left his mouth—
Lin Yu suddenly realized something was wrong.
His eyes flew open.
What greeted him was not the familiar white ceiling, nor Huang Yiyi's angry face—
But a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at him.
Before Lin Yu could react—
The Blood Clan Queen suddenly lowered her head.
In an instant—
A sharp pain exploded at Lin Yu's neck.
