Chapter 469 Respecting the Opinions of the Night Demon's People
At Meng Qingyin's suggestion, the group arrived at the Tower of Babel.
As soon as he entered the Demon Tower, Lu Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "Why didn't you let me shoot the Pear Blossom Needles earlier?"
Although Bill was flying very fast, he was confident in his aim and was certain he could hit him and prevent him from escaping.
Meng Qingyin voiced her guess: "I suspect that this Bill is not a player."
Zhang Yan was shocked: "How is this possible? I'm absolutely certain that he's the Bill I met in the North American server, region 25!"
"Have you ever seen anyone who could remain calm and collected after suffering such a serious injury?" Meng Qingyin asked calmly.
Even if Bill has an extraordinary pain tolerance, it doesn't seem normal that he acted like a mannequin when he suffered such severe injuries.
Moreover, this is a game world, and she has encountered many NPCs, so having such suspicions is not far-fetched.
She even felt that Bill was sent by the god who wanted to kill her.
But the only thing that puzzled her was why he suddenly turned his attention to Fei Qiu this time.
Just then, Fei Qiu's expression shifted, as if he remembered something: "Actually, before you arrived, Bill had the opportunity to kill me directly, but he didn't. It seems that his intention at the time was not to take my life, but my hand."
He could still clearly feel the giant hand gripping his neck. If Bill had just used a little more force, he could have killed him, but why didn't he?
The only explanation is that Bill wasn't trying to kill him.
Meng Qingyin also thought of this, "He didn't come to take your life, then... what is he here for? Or rather, what is the god behind him after?"
Zhang Yan: "Do you think this Bill was sent by some deity? If so, what is it about Fei Qiu that would make that deity go to such lengths?"
“I can’t think of that right now,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, then changed the subject, “But why Bill?”
Zhang Yan didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Meng Qingyin: "That god could have created a completely new NPC, so why did he choose to use Bill's appearance? This is something I especially can't understand."
Zhang Yan: "Perhaps that god knew Bill had committed many evil deeds, so he deliberately created an NPC identical to him, so that he could pin the blame on Bill. Anyway, Bill wasn't a good person. He did so many bad things. He's got a lot of bad things to his name, so one more thing won't hurt."
Meng Qingyin lowered her eyes in thought: "...Is it to confuse the issue?"
Zhang Yan stopped thinking about it. "We can say that we are now on the same side as the Night Demon Clan. Those gods must be well aware of this. They won't send people to besiege us in the future, will they?"
“I’ve already discussed this with Ye Yingjun. Night demons will guard the vehicles at night to protect your safety, but they won’t be able to help during the day. Night demons are afraid of light, so they’ll hide during the day, and even if you encounter danger, they won’t be able to show up in time to help.” Meng Qingyin was also somewhat troubled by the fact that night demons are afraid of light.
Today's situation happened during the day, but fortunately they had just entered the new map and hadn't started getting busy yet, so they were able to arrive in time.
However, once things got busy, it became impossible to carry out rescue operations in a timely manner.
Those deities are lurking in the shadows, watching with predatory intent; the safety of any of them cannot be guaranteed.
There's not much others can do either. Danger is everywhere, and sometimes it's simply unavoidable. All they can do is prepare for the worst.
"Regarding the Night Demons' fear of light, are they unable to be exposed to direct sunlight, or are they simply afraid of sunlight?" Chen Leying suddenly asked.
Meng Qingyin was taken aback. "I haven't asked about that, but Ye Yingjun is on the top floor. Why don't we go ask him?"
The group quickly arrived at the top floor.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin, Ye Yingjun was overjoyed. He rushed over, pushing past Zhang Yan, and exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, you've come to see me!"
Zhang Yan was jostled and stumbled, quite annoyed: "Hey, you bumped into me!"
Ye Yingjun glanced at him, pursed his lips, and offered a half-hearted apology: "Oh, I'm sorry."
Zhang Yan's intuition told him that Ye Yingjun was targeting him!
But it seems like he and Ye Yingjun didn't have any real grudges, right?
Ye Yingjun secretly rolled his eyes. This guy is so annoying, he's practically glued to the leader!
This is their Night Demon Clan's leader, why is he standing so close to him?
Doesn't he have his own leader?
Meng Qingyin, unaware of the undercurrent between Ye Yingjun and Zhang Yan, repeated her earlier question: "Ye Yingjun, to what extent are you Night Demons afraid of light? Are you terrified of light?"
Facing Meng Qingyin, Ye Yingjun smiled radiantly: "My lord, it's like this. Yelan Star is not illuminated by the sun for many years, so our Night Demon Clan is not used to being exposed to sunlight. When exposed to sunlight, we feel uncomfortable and awkward all over. That's why we have been active at night since we came here."
Meng Qingyin gasped: "So, what you've been saying about the Night Demons being afraid of light is just because they're not used to being in the sun? And not because sunlight would cause them great damage to their bodily functions?"
Ye Yingjun said seriously, "Sunlight makes us feel uncomfortable. Isn't that a huge amount of damage?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
What kind of extreme damage is this?
If that's the case, going to work used to leave her physically and mentally exhausted. In keeping with the Night Demons' style, she might as well just lie down and relax.
Meng Qingyin: "Could you overcome this?"
Ye Yingjun was extremely puzzled: "Why do we have to overcome it? We can just avoid the light, why make things difficult for ourselves?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
So, the formidable Night Demons only appear fierce; are they actually just idiots and weaklings?
As the leader of such a race, Meng Qingyin truly felt that this was all there was to her life.
Finally, Meng Qingyin suggested, "I'll make some cloaks for you, the kind that cover you from head to toe, so you won't get sunburned. Would that be acceptable?"
Ye Yingjun thought for a moment, "Well, I need to consult the other Night Demon citizens."
Now you're finally respecting public opinion? When you were trying so hard to persuade her to be the leader, why didn't you consult the Night Demons' people?
Meng Qingyin felt that she, as the leader, was actually just a mascot.
