Chapter 261 People who are close to monsters
Zhong Mu shook his head, he really didn’t quite understand.
For players, the existence of monsters is the biggest monster in the dungeon. When monsters are sealing monsters, what else is there behind them?
Zhong Mu flipped through the previous notes and came to the part where the teacher in the deep-sea dungeon talked about the connection between the dungeon and the town. The town acted as an outer seal surrounding the dungeon, and the dungeon acted as an inner seal surrounding the more central area.
"The monster has been sealed by you now, right?" Zhong Mu looked down at the cat in his arms. He sat upright, holding a small notebook, and was indifferent to the cat lying on his legs with its legs spread out, which looked very pleasant to touch.
"Right." The white cat wagged its tail gracefully. "The Black Cat Faction advocated killing monsters. They tried, but ultimately failed. Even monsters that hadn't yet taken shape were too much for them to defeat, so they ultimately chose to seal them."
"But they have never given up on killing monsters, and they still haven't given up now." The white cat raised its gray pupils, reflecting Zhong Mu sitting in a precarious position. "Anyone who gets close to monsters will become their target."
Zhong Mu paused, lowered his eyes to look at the cat in his arms, flipped through his notes and seemed to be thinking about something. Queen Ye personally appeared at dusk to find Brother Xiu and pulled him into this copy.
Brother Xiu is a player targeted by Lady Night, but they are not suddenly targeting him because of his overly strong martial arts skills, because Brother Xiu was also very strong in the past, and they would have targeted him long ago. However, the dungeons that Brother Xiu has passed since the deep-sea dungeon have been targeted, and this one is no exception.
If there is any reason why Brother Xiu is suddenly targeted by the monsters in any way compared to six years ago, it is because there is a special person around him.
"Monster... are you referring to the man next to Brother Xiu?" This was the only thing Zhong Mu could think of.
Even Yaya, who was standing next to Brother Xiu, was actually restricted by the dungeon. However, players who had watched Brother Xiu's dungeon live broadcast could see that the man was like a monster like a ghost, but was not restricted by the dungeon at all. He was an independent being that roamed around in the dungeon.
As long as he sorted it out in his mind a little, he could sense the clues. The reason why Brother Xiu was targeted by Empress Ye was because of Li Mo.
"It seems you're well aware of this as well." The white cat lazily lay there. "The monsters, which have been sealed for a long time, no longer have much impact on the current fixed environment. But one person has triggered a change in the monsters, like the beginning of a mutation. This is an ominous sign, and it may even change everything. So they are trying their best to eliminate the source of this mutation."
Zhong Mu's eyes widened. "So they want to kill Brother Xiu?"
The white cat shook its head. "From what I've observed, the Black Cat Faction's previous actions seemed more like they were trying to send Yin Xiu out of the dungeon, to cut off any possibility of connection between him and the monster before it became deeper. But they've clearly failed. This is their relatively gentle approach. If this fails, their next plan will become dangerous."
Zhong Mu stared at his small notebook and thought hard.
"Brother Xiu stayed in the town for a long time, and his memory gradually faded... According to the original plan, they should have waited for Brother Xiu to forget everything and then sent him out of the dungeon, but Brother Xiu met Li Mo again, causing the plan to fail.
"Then they came up with a countermeasure... They tried to kill Brother Xiu in the dungeon, severing their connection with force and depriving the monster of the motivation to break free from the seal. But they still failed. They were unable to kill Brother Xiu."
Zhong Mu tilted his head and thought about the dungeon that had the greatest impact on Brother Xiu recently, which was the deep sea dungeon. The players in the small town had been paying attention to that dungeon. When they saw that Brother Xiu was almost sinking into the dungeon and forgetting a lot of things, they were really worried.
But there was a change in that copy, which was the existence of Boss Ye.
It was because of Boss Ye's existence that their plan failed for the second time.
"Then this copy...!" Zhong Mu's face was filled with horror. "Are they still planning to kill Brother Xiu using the same method while Boss Ye is away?"
"Perhaps, but the Black Cat Faction should be well aware that they can't use the same method to kill Yin Xiu next to that monster." The white cat turned sideways and lay on Zhong Mu's legs, wagging its tail. "They have changed their plan."
Zhong Mu began to worry, as if he had thought of something, and looked down at the cat lying on his lap, "You advocate sealing the monster, but if Li Mo wants to come out of the seal, won't you also target him?"
The white cat raised its head lazily. "No, the White Cat Faction doesn't advocate sealing the monster, but a peaceful solution. We advocated sealing it at that time because there was no better way. If there is a more advantageous method than sealing it, we will try it even if it is dangerous.
"Now, Yin Xiu is the more dangerous, but more peaceful solution. The White Cat Faction will protect him."
Zhong Mu tilted his head in confusion, "Brother Xiu, what kind of peaceful method is this?"
The white cat raised its head, its gray pupils staring at Zhong Mu without blinking, dull and lifeless. "If you trap a monster in darkness, it will struggle and resist because it has consciousness. But if you trap a monster next to someone it's willing to be with, it will be obedient and won't feel uncomfortable.
"Yin Xiu is the rope that ties the monster. He is the best seal, the best shackle.
"If it's extreme, one day the rope disappears, and the monster may disappear with it."
Zhong Mu stared at the cat in his arms in silence. "From the results, it seems that you all want the monster to disappear, but you're using different methods."
"right."
Zhong Mu frowned. "What the White Cat Faction considers to be the optimal solution is actually just the optimal solution from your perspective. Whether it's sealing the monster or binding the monster to Brother Xiu, waiting for Brother Xiu to die of old age and let the monster go with him, none of these considerations consider the monster's feelings. Your peace faction doesn't seem to be that peaceful after all."
The white cat remained unmoved by his gaze. "Because it's a monster that's not good for us, we don't need to consider its feelings."
Zhong Mu stood up quickly, shook the white cat off his lap, and said coldly, "A monster that doesn't even know why it exists doesn't appear out of thin air. You have no tribe, no companions, and you were locked in darkness for so many years before you even formed any self-awareness. If I were that monster, I would kill you all too."
He had watched Brother Xiu's live broadcast and paid attention to the information that came out of Li Mo's mouth.
Brother Xiu was someone who had helped him, so he had always been very concerned about Brother Xiu, a dangerous being of unknown origin, fearing that Brother Xiu would be attacked by monsters one day.
Because he cared so much, he remembered very clearly the past information that came out of Li Mo's mouth.
Zhong Mu can be 100% sure that Li Mo's birth must be related to this group of monsters.
But the result is that its existence threatens the group. The Black Cat Faction wants to kill it, and the White Cat Faction wants to imprison it.
For Li Mo, neither faction is a good thing.
