"I want food!"
"I'm hungry, I want to eat, I want to survive!"
"I don't want to go back. The cold took my mother, the scorching sun took my father, and now I'm all alone. What more do they want from me?"
"I just want to live a good life, who cares if this place is real or fake..."
The crowd grew noisy.
Not everyone is shouting like that.
However, those who were uncertain dared not speak, and those who wanted to stand with Toki chose to remain silent for fear of condemnation from the excited people around them. Thus, this voice resounded throughout the sky.
That's enough.
These silent people will eventually join those who shout, because society is a river, and going with the flow is the river's law and destiny.
Seeing this, [Shiyin] turned and left. Her power was sealed by Shiyin. There were still some of Shiyin's followers who hindered her. Without her superpowers, she might not be able to resist.
The angry crowd had already surrounded Shi Yin.
Freya stood in front of Shi Yin, warily watching the crowd that was surrounding them. Without the deterrent effect of her superpowers, even with guns, the deterrent effect was very limited.
"We need food! We want to stay here!"
"If you have the ability to take us out, then take us out now."
"That's right. If you have the ability to give us happiness and take us out, then do it now. How can you just fence off the food and cut off our second option..."
"You!" Freya exclaimed angrily.
"Do as you please," Shi Yin said calmly.
The crowd quieted down, completely surprised that Shi Yin would be so agreeable, especially considering that not long ago she had sent troops to violently suppress the protests. Those who tried to forcibly take food were even shot dead.
"Those who want to stay here can just throw away the badges on their chests, it doesn't matter." Shi Yin looked around: "However, I still sincerely advise you not to touch any food that is inexplicably increasing in size."
"Do you still want to take over the mountain and deprive us of our right to happiness here?" someone shouted from the crowd.
The silent became more silent, the excited became more excited, and the clever and the not-so-clever each had their own ulterior motives, making Shi Yin seem isolated and helpless.
"Do as you please. Who said we were going out?" Shi Yin said calmly, pulling Freya along. "Get out of the way if you don't want to die."
The crowd hesitated.
"I think you should know that my sword is more lethal than a gun." Shi Yin weighed the cane in her hand, and the cane immediately transformed into a katana.
This is the cane that Helmod initially made for Toki. It is not Toki's ability, nor does it fall under the category of supernatural abilities. It is a purely mechanical product designed to inspire awe in most people.
In the end, everyone remained silent and made way for Shi Yin.
“Sister, only a portion of people oppose you.” Freya pulled on the hand that held her voice, a little worried: “Most people are just afraid to speak up.”
“I know, I don’t want to abandon them.” Looking at Freya’s worried gaze as she returned to the Doomsday Beacon, Shi Yin couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’m telling the truth, I don’t plan to go out right now.”
"What do we do now?" Freya asked curiously.
"Didn't I tell you before? Everything has a price, your superpowers are one, zombies are one, so why is there no price for entering a brothel?" Shi Yin lay on the chair, glancing at the people rushing in outside the door, unhurried.
"The space here is inherently unstable and chaotic, so the effects may not be immediately apparent. While the seemingly endless supply of food may indeed provide a feeling of fullness, it is actually a deception with nothing in it."
“Your brain senses that you’ve eaten, but you haven’t actually eaten anything, so of course you’ll starve to death.” Shi Yin’s words sent a chill down the spines of the arriving leader and others.
"Why not just talk to them directly?" The leader and the others had just stepped inside when they heard Shi Yin's words. Their questions stuck in their throats, and they couldn't utter a single word.
“Some things are worthless if you say them out loud. You can’t remember them even if you say them a hundred times. They might even hold a grudge against us. Why don’t we wait for them to suffer a loss themselves?” Shi Yin lay on the chair, not in a hurry.
“I’ve already warned everyone not to eat the food here. Besides, I told them that those who don’t want to go out should take off their badges and throw them away, and those who want to go out with us can just keep wearing their badges, right?”
"Is there Sister Yin's power inside?" Lin Beiyue suddenly realized.
She remembered a time when the Doomsday Beacon was invaded, and it was the power released by the badge on her chest that saved everyone.
Although the protective effect was only temporary, it still frightened everyone quite a bit, proving that this badge was not just for detection.
"We must not only defeat the Seven Deadly Sins in terms of strength to win the end times, but also in terms of mentality." Shi Yin nodded: "You've come at the right time. Issue the latest death list."
Lin Beiyue hurriedly stepped forward and took the report from Shi Yin's hand. Upon seeing the names of the deceased in the report, she froze on the spot, her legs feeling like lead, unable to move an inch.
"They're dead?" Lin Beiyue looked at the names on the report, unable to believe it.
Gu Changge and Nan Zhu, weren't they just missing? How did they suddenly get sentenced to death?
Upon closer inspection of the report, it was found to be written by Shi Yin herself—the decoy tactic had been a great success.
The decoy tactic left Lin Beiyue feeling like her brain was buzzing.
"Without them, how do you think arrogance would have appeared in front of me?" Shi Yin waved her hand dismissively: "Every time a new parallel world opens, my power will accumulate. Once she is certain that I am the terminal, she will not be able to easily attack me."
"Then what about the original timeline of this world?" Lin Beiyue suddenly asked, her mind racing.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Lin Beiyue wished she could slap herself twice.
Her IQ wasn't much higher than Ye Shaoheng's, but she knew that silence was golden, so she didn't talk nonsense or ask too many questions. She would obey orders and stay put if she wasn't ordered to.
Upon hearing this, Lin Beiyue realized what was happening.
If they haven't shown up for so long, they must be dead!
"I killed him as soon as I arrived. In essence, I killed myself and absorbed my own energy core so that the power could accumulate." Shi Yin didn't shy away from this at all: "Consider these few days a vacation for you guys. Go have fun."
"How can we possibly enjoy this 'gentle haven'? It's terrifying!" Lin Beiyue's eyes widened. "Isn't the most urgent thing to do to find a way out?"
"Don't assume everyone is as clear-headed as you," Shi Yin said, raising the corners of her lips. "Laziness is contagious, just like yawning is."
"Only a crisis can bring people to their senses. At this time, all we need to do is be very, very, very patient... and wait."
“They will come begging to me.”
