Chapter 489 Controlling the Undead
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyin looked at Ye Yingjun and asked, "Hmm? What reminded you of?"
Ye Yingjun explained in detail: "When I heard you mention the dead, and that they appeared here under different identities, I immediately thought of the cat people. Their cat, Mao He, has a secret technique that can control the dead. Mao He is also the god who created this world, so I guessed that all of this might be related to Mao He."
"Maohe?" Meng Qingyin had heard Ye Yingjun mention this name before, but she knew nothing about the gods, so she didn't ask any questions at the time.
Now it seems that all of this is actually related to that god named Maohe?
Did she manipulate those dead spirits, allowing them to survive here in another way?
What was her purpose in doing this?
"How much do you know about those five gods?" Meng Qingyin decided to ask all the questions at once.
“I only have a deep impression of that treacherous and cunning bird, Huang Teng,” Ye Yingjun said through gritted teeth. “As for the other four gods, I have only heard a little about them. After all, our Night Demon Clan lives on Night Orchid Star, while they live together on Pinggu Star. We have very little interaction.”
"Maohe is the current leader of the cat people. The cat people's secret art is to control the undead, but I don't know exactly how far they can control them."
"The current leader of the Minotaur tribe is called..." Ye Yingjun suddenly hesitated for a moment before saying, "I remember now, his name is Niu Meng. They are a race that worships absolute power, with strong limbs but simple minds."
Upon hearing these eight words of evaluation, Meng Qingyin fell silent.
Before you judge others, shouldn't you take a look at yourself first?
Ye Yingjun didn't see Meng Qingyin's complicated expression and continued, "The current leader of the Black Snake Clan is called Snake Bing, but I've never had a good impression of snakes and don't know anything special about the Black Snake Clan."
Meng Qingyin looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Ye Yingjun shrugged and said, "Alright, that's all the information I have about the five God Lords."
Meng Qingyin sighed, "You only mentioned four people..."
Ye Yingjun was somewhat surprised, "Only four people? Let me sort this out..."
“No need to go through all this,” Meng Qingyin said, truly at her wit’s end. “There is another merfolk god-king you didn’t mention earlier.”
Under Ye Yingjun's "brilliant" leadership, how can it not be a miracle that the Night Demon Clan has survived to this day?
She is now even beginning to suspect that Huang Teng, whom Ye Yingjun described as "insidious, cunning, and scheming," may not actually be as cunning as he imagines.
It's just that Ye Yingjun is so stupid that he stands out from the crowd.
Ye Yingjun suddenly realized, "No wonder I always felt like I missed something. It turns out I missed the Merfolk. But the Merfolk are a race that lives in the sea. They are too mysterious. I don't know anything about their race, not even who their leader is."
Meng Qingyin gained a deeper understanding of Ye Yingjun's mind. These were all messages that Ye Yingjun had heard, and it was already quite impressive that he could remember them.
At least, she learned more about the two deities, Maohe and Niumeng.
"Looking at it this way, Maohe gave those undead a second life. She's actually a pretty good person." Ye Yingjun nodded as he spoke, completely convinced of his own deduction. "I thought she was also in cahoots with Huang Teng. Now it seems I was wrong about her."
Meng Qingyin looked at him with a very serious gaze, "Ye Yingjun, I have a question for you, and you must answer me truthfully."
Ye Yingjun immediately sat up straight, a hint of nervousness showing on his handsome face: "You can ask me anything, I will absolutely not tell you a single lie."
Meng Qingyin: "Do you have zombies on your Night Orchid Star?"
"Zombies?" Ye Yingjun asked, puzzled. "What are those? Edible plants?"
Meng Qingyin: "A creature that can eat human brains."
Meng Qingyin now genuinely suspects that Ye Yingjun's brain was eaten by zombies.
Otherwise, why would he be so naive?
Will Catfish grant those dead a second life for no reason?
Absolutely impossible.
The white fox can nourish the soul, but this is extremely costly for it. Moreover, it nourishes the Taotie's soul to protect itself because its mother risked her life to save it, and the white fox is repaying that kindness.
But what about Maohe?
Her secret art of controlling the dead must have taken a lot of effort; she would never have done it without a purpose.
But what exactly was her purpose in doing this?
Ye Yingjun chuckled dryly: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you have a brain or not. For us Night Demons, the heart is the most important thing."
Heart? Night Demon's Heart?
Meng Qingyin paused, wondering if Mao He was after the Heart of the Night Demon.
Whether it's Jinxiu or Achen, they are both dead souls, but here they are traveling merchants, and only the Heart of the Night Demon can trade with them.
How does Zheng Yi explain this?
He was not a traveling merchant.
Meng Qingyin couldn't be sure whether Mao He's purpose in doing this was to obtain the Heart of the Night Demon, or perhaps she had other motives.
"Is there anything special about your hearts?" Meng Qingyin asked Ye Yingjun.
Ye Yingjun replied calmly, "No."
Meng Qingyin was even more confused.
She noted down the information she had just received and spent the day with Ye Yingjun.
When she was about to leave that evening, Lu Cheng came again.
He told Meng Qingyin about the markings on the calendar he saw at Achen's place, emphasizing "ten years" and "one hundred Night Demon Hearts".
With the information provided by Lu Cheng, Meng Qingyin was almost certain that Mao He's goal was the Heart of the Night Demon.
But Ye Yingjun said that the Night Demon Heart is nothing special, so what is Mao He's purpose in wanting so many Night Demon Hearts?
Moreover, what does "ten years" refer to?
Meng Qingyin felt that they were getting closer and closer to the truth.
...
In just one day, players in Zone 30 were all using car air conditioning.
Meng Qingyin also sent one to Li the blacksmith. Although the car air conditioner had low power, it was still much better than having no air conditioner at all.
Li the blacksmith was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, saying that the girl was the most considerate.
Meng Qingyin chatted with him for a while before returning to the train; it was already completely dark outside.
Lu Cheng invited everyone in the group chat to his birthday party three days later.
With the air conditioning issue resolved, everyone was relaxed and agreed to attend. Lu Cheng began preparing for the gathering three days in advance.
