Chapter 286 Is that a sound that only I can hear?
"Brother Xiu, you know that our town has become a dungeon. However, it seems that because it is a new dungeon, not many people have joined in, and not many people are watching the live broadcast, so it is still under control."
Zhong Mu spread his hands helplessly, "But since the players who came in didn't believe that we were also players, and running around randomly could easily cause trouble, we had no choice but to tie them up first."
After one or two of them came in, they treated their room as a dungeon search site and insisted on going in to look for clues and props. It was really annoying, so we arrested them all.
Even after being caught, I still felt that this dungeon was so real that even the monsters simulating players reacted like real players.
Zhong Mu rolled his eyes and complained as he spoke to Yin Xiu, "Who would have thought that the room where I sleep every day would be searched as a dungeon location? He even tried to take my items, saying, 'The drop rate in this dungeon is so high, I'll find items if I come in.' I kicked him out right away."
Yin Xiu nodded, "Have all the players in the town been gathered here?"
Zhong Mu excitedly clenched his fist and said, "We've gathered everyone who's still alive, but with so many people, it's noisy and could easily cause trouble, so we've picked a few people who usually stay with Boss Ye to sort things out. We'll gather in Boss Ye's room later."
Yin Xiu nodded after listening and organized the information in his mind so that he could tell them later.
He had never worked with so many players before. He had always done dungeons alone. This was the first time he had to work with players from the entire town due to special circumstances, and he was a little nervous.
Ye Tianxuan's room was not big, and not many people were called over this time. Four people came from the opposite side, plus Zhong Mu, Yin Xiu, and Ye Tianxuan in the coffin, there were seven people in the room, and it was a little crowded.
In fact, most of the people who initially managed the town with Ye Tianxuan have already completed the game and left, but Ye Tianxuan was obsessed with the complete copy information and stayed to work on the five-star level. Only a few people stayed to manage the town like him.
Although they had been in the small town for so long, Yin Xiu didn't know anyone. They didn't usually contact Yin Xiu. Ye Tianxuan was responsible for stabilizing the condition of this killing god. So when people in a room met, those opposite knew Yin Xiu, but Yin Xiu looked at everyone else as strangers.
"Um...Brother Xiu, do you need us to introduce ourselves first?" When several people met, they looked at each other, not knowing how to start. After all, the only person in the room who was familiar with Yin Xiu was Zhong Mu, who had entered the dungeon with Yin Xiu.
Yin Xiu nodded, and then the four people opposite began to introduce themselves.
"Anyway, we just met. If you can't remember everyone's names one by one, Brother Xiu, then just briefly introduce our location in the town."
The first person to step forward said, "I'm in charge of information search and management. It's my job to compile guidance information for newcomers regarding dungeons. Simply put, I collect dungeon information. You can call me the information team leader. I'm in charge of dungeon strategies."
Another one followed and said, "I'm in charge of human resources management. I'm responsible for accepting newcomers from the dungeon and bringing them to the town for assignment. I bring most of the newcomers to the town. You can call me... the reception team leader."
"I'm in charge of training new players. I manage some veteran players with rich dungeon experience and assign them to guide new players through dungeons and train them. You can call me the education team leader."
The last one nodded calmly. "I manage the distribution of supplies within the town. The items that the town players collect from dungeons, as well as the food they redeem from the store, are all handed over to me. I distribute items based on the suitability of the new players, and before entering the dungeon, I give them food resources based on the duration of the dungeon. You can call me the Supply Team Leader."
After everyone had introduced themselves, they all said in unison, "Of course, when the town first started, the system wasn't as complete as it is now, and there weren't enough people. Boss Ye did everything, and only later did we make assignments when we had enough manpower. So, he's in charge of everything in the town, and he's considered our leader, so we call him Boss Ye."
After listening to this, Yin Xiu fell into a long period of contemplation. "So there are so many management branches in this town?"
He had lived in the small town for so long, fishing every day, but he had never understood the environment he lived in. This was the first time he knew about it.
One of them scratched his head awkwardly, "Brother Xiu might not be too happy to tell you this, but actually, when Boss Ye didn't know you very well at the beginning, our town had an emergency team specifically for you. They were responsible for observing your condition, and when you went berserk, they did everything they could to suppress you.
"Because at first, Brother Xiu seemed unkind and wouldn't listen to anyone. Everyone was afraid of you. If they turned against us, we had to have a solution... But now we don't have that anymore."
The four of them turned their eyes away from Yin Xiu guiltily, fearing that Brother Xiu would be unhappy.
Yin Xiu had never expected that he had been guarded against before, to the point that there was a special small team responsible for keeping an eye on him.
Maybe he felt relieved after realizing that he had been fishing for a living in retirement.
"It's okay, I don't care either." Yin Xiu shook his head lightly, then calmed down to organize the information and told the other party the current situation of the town.
The involvement of Li Mo and Yin Xiu has made the dungeon tense, and turning the town into a dungeon is one of the measures taken by Queen Ye to deal with him. The current positioning of the town players is sacrifice, as well as the connection between the town players and Yin Xiu.
After hearing this enormous amount of information, several people began to discuss the matter face to face. "Brother Xiu, your boyfriend has a great connection to the dungeon. He's the one that makes Night Queen and the others fear him. And because your boyfriend is so close to you, Night Queen is also very nervous about you, so she showed up in person to pull you into the dungeon."
"The last instance was a trap. It made you, Brother Xiu, become a follower of some god and start to mutate into a monster. We were all sacrificed. If one of us dies, your mutation will intensify."
Yin Xiu nodded, that’s about it.
Li Mo contacted the dungeon, Yin Xiu contacted Li Mo, and the town players are now in contact with Yin Xiu.
I don’t know what Empress Ye’s plan is by stringing them together and forcing Yin Xiu to become a strange tool, but going along with it will definitely not lead to good results.
"And that's another thing," one of them objected. "Brother Xiu, you said you saw black fog emerging from the lake where you usually fish. That's new information for us, but you said you could hear sounds from past instances in the black fog. That's not quite right."
The person on the other side spread his hands in confusion. "To be honest, it's the second day since the black fog appeared, and we haven't gotten used to it yet. We often don't have time to hide in the town, and there are also times when we stand in the black fog, but no one has heard any sound?"
Faced with the confusion on the other side, Yin Xiu was stunned.
"Is that a sound only I can hear?"
