Level 9, the Suburbs.
A Sightless Seer, glowing with a faint blue light, roamed the streets. This Sightless Seer, who shouldn't have appeared on this level, was naturally Yang Tao.
'It's also a problem that Watchers cannot perceive human locations.'
However, on second thought, if the members of the Neighborhood Watch had the same perception abilities as a Sightless Seer, then Level 9, the Suburbs, would directly become a dead zone.
Suddenly, a special 'scent' entered his perception.
'Someone's here!'
Yang Tao swiftly flew in the direction of the scent. With the enhancement of various buffs, his body transformed into a blue afterimage.
Relying on his extraordinary speed, Yang Tao soon saw an M.E.G. team standing at the entrance of a house.
"Mice, let's talk!"
A translucent figure passed through the wooden door of the room and appeared before them. It was Mice, whom Yang Tao had saved and transformed into a ghost.
"What do you want to talk about? I've already said I'll stay here and won't leave with you."
The leader of the M.E.G. team clearly didn't want to give up and said, "Mice, we just want to understand how you became like this..."
"Like this?"
A smile appeared on Mice's somewhat transparent face as he said, "It's very simple to become like me: find a Watcher and let it shine its strange light on you."
"The next point is the most important..."
"If you're lucky, you'll encounter that benevolent existence, who will save your suffering souls..."
"Isn't it simple?"
With that, Mice turned to leave. The M.E.G. team leader's face showed an expression as if Mice was joking, but he quickly composed himself and called out to Mice, "Wait!"
Mice stopped and looked at them with cold eyes, saying, "I've told you all I can say."
"I know what you want to know. Remember! He hasn't allowed me to reveal his identity, and I won't reveal his identity."
"If you want to talk about other things in Level 9, the Suburbs, I'd be happy to tell you. If you intend to offend him, I'll also let you know how strong the power he bestowed is."
It was clear that Mice was getting agitated.
The M.E.G. members immediately soothed him, "No, no, while we're very interested in the 'he' You mentioned, for us, you are more important right now."
"You have saved many Wanderers who accidentally ended up in Level 9, the Suburbs. We came here, on one hand, to ask if you are willing to leave with us, and on the other hand, to ask if there's anything you need help with."
Mice extended his hand and looked at his somewhat ethereal body, then shook his head and said, "I don't need any help right now. Don't worry about me; after all, I was human when I was alive."
With that, Mice walked directly through the wooden door and into the house.
Outside the door, the M.E.G. team discussed for a moment, then turned and walked into another house. Clearly, they didn't intend to withdraw from here just yet.
Mice returned to the room.
His teammates gathered around and asked, "Mice, how was it?"
Mice smiled and said, "It's nothing, they just wanted to understand my current situation."
Ade nodded gently, then looked behind Mice, a hint of panic in his eyes: "A Sightless Seer?! Damn it, how can there be a Sightless Seer in Level 9?"
The strength of a Sightless Seer is not strong, and with Mice, dealing with one should not be a problem. However, a Sightless Seer appearing in Level 9, the Suburbs, indicates that some unknown changes have occurred in this level.
Mice turned to look behind him. Just as he was about to act, a large number of black squares appeared on the Sightless Seer.
"Mice, long time no see!"
"Yang Tao!"
The faces of the people in the room showed surprise. Yang Tao smiled and nodded at them, then glanced at the health bar above Mice's head.
240 points.
Not bad. With such strength, if he were in Levels 0, 1, 2, or 3, he could walk around confidently with a little caution.
The premise is not to encounter powers that restrain souls, such as level influence and attacks that target the mind.
"Yang, you're here!"
Mice's face broke into a bright smile. He wasn't reserved just because Yang Tao had saved him.
"Mm, just passing by, thought I'd drop in and see how you're doing."
Glancing at some food on the living room table, Yang Tao walked over with a smile and said, "Having dinner?"
"Uh, if we're going by time, it should be breakfast."
Ade said from the side.
Level 9, the Suburbs, is always nighttime, so one needs to adjust the time themselves.
Yang Tao sat down on the sofa without ceremony, looking at the food on the table.
Small cakes, Almond water, and pasta...
Simple and pure, after all, you can't expect to eat very well in the Backrooms.
"Do you mind if we eat together?"
"No, I don't."
Yang Tao saying that was just an excuse to treat them to a meal.
He took out some food and placed it on the table, then asked Mice, "I remember giving you a key. Why haven't you come to visit me?"
"I didn't want to disturb you."
"Look at you, you should be able to connect to the outside network, right? I opened a supermarket in Level 4, the Abandoned Office. It sells many ordinary daily necessities. You just need to exchange Almond water for points to buy supplies."
"Ordinary food is very cheap. You might as well improve your lives a bit."
"Supermarket?"
Mice was a bit confused. He couldn't use a computer at all now. He spent all his time wandering Level 9, looking for Wanderers who needed help and Entities hidden in houses. He wasn't aware of outside news.
His gaze turned to Ade; he was usually responsible for going online.
Ade: "???"
"Mice, don't look at me. I don't know either. Not all computers in houses can access the internet..."
Mice nodded.
"Yang, is there anything special about your visit this time? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Oh, nothing much. I'm just planning to go to Level 10 to take a look. I just passed by here to see how you're doing."
One only needs to find a pedestrian path leading to a grassy area in Level 9 to reach Level 10, the 'Abundance' level.
Mice nodded gently and said, "Yang, if you're heading to Level 10, then I can take you there."
"The entrance to Level 10 is not far from here."
"No rush, let's eat first. Mice, you come eat too. I imagine you haven't eaten in a long time, have you?"
