The Night Goddess disliked Li Mo because she had not enjoyed the benefits of Hai Cun's kindness, yet she was forced to become a sacrifice offered by Hai Cun to Li Mo.
Because of the so-called god, the people of Haicun became crazy, extreme, and no longer accepted by others.
Lady Night dislikes the people of Hai Village, and she also dislikes Li Mo.
Ye Tianxuan, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Don't be so harsh. If you could completely control him, you wouldn't be here. Are you here today to start a bloodbath and die with us, or to negotiate peace?"
Ye Tianxuan was certain that they had come to negotiate peace; otherwise, there would be no question of the town being used as a hostage.
Having the life and death of the town in their hands, they're here to negotiate with them.
"It's not about going on a killing spree, but as for making peace... that's not quite right either." Lady Ye slowly stroked the black cat, then thoughtfully looked up at Yin Xiu. "Yin Xiu, I've been watching you for so many years. I know it's not easy for you to find someone you can open your heart to, but this monster is the one who's giving me a headache."
"Your existence is both a blessing and a curse for us, because no one has been pulled into this place recently because of you."
"The monsters trapped in the seal are lonely inside, so they unconsciously summon people to enter. This is why there are so many players. We were also very troubled by this, but then you appeared, and the monsters' loneliness was relatively reduced. Until recently, they were very satisfied, and there were no new players."
"After I discovered this, I was more inclined to keep you with him, even though this conflicted with my brother. In the end, I was right."
"Your future offers three choices, it all depends on how you choose." Lady Ye held up three fingers, listing them one by one to Yin Xiu.
"The first option is to kill me and my brother now, dragging everyone down with us, including Town 35, you, and Ye Tianxuan. This is the most irrational choice. Although your boyfriend will gain his freedom, the price will be high, and I don't think you would choose that."
She slowly bent her second finger. "Second, you become a monster, enter the seal, and are sealed together with your boyfriend. This way, he can be comforted, and it won't affect others. It will just be unfair to you."
"But judging from your current state, you don't want to become a monster. Otherwise, killing all the dungeon players I threw in would be enough to turn you into a monster."
The player who was listening intently in the corner suddenly shuddered.
What? They thought the players in the town were the sacrifices, and they were just here to complete the game. Turns out they were the sacrifices thrown in?
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. The players in the small town are their own people, so Yin Xiu wouldn't do anything to them. But if he wanted to become a monster, these dungeon players would be the best targets.
Looking back, the dungeon players still felt a chill run down their spines, somewhat relieved that Yin Xiu hadn't chosen to become a monster.
"What about the third one?" Yin Xiu didn't like the first two outcomes; neither was satisfactory. No one would like such a painful ending where someone has to bear the consequences.
"The third way..." Lady Ye trailed off, then looked at Li Mo, "The third way is for you to find a way to kill the evil god. If you are with him right now, there are no new players in the dungeon. This is a closed space. When all the players leave, only the monsters, you, and your boyfriend will be left."
"You can live your entire life here as a human, and then, as you die, kill him. The evil god dies, and we will all vanish. That's the best outcome for everyone."
"Can an evil god be killed?" Yin Xiu was somewhat surprised.
Lady Night raised her chin and looked at Mu He. "Ask the White Cat Sect. What we knew back then was how to summon them, but there are people in the White Cat Sect who know how to kill the evil god, but they refuse to tell us and insist on sealing him away. It's so troublesome. The doctor should know, right?"
All eyes immediately fell on the doctor sitting in the corner.
The doctor smiled and shook his head. "I don't know, because I don't want to get involved."
"Then...nobody will know, right?"
"I know."
A voice suddenly came from the doorway, interrupting everyone's conversation.
Everyone's eyes immediately flew over and they found it was a familiar face.
408, who hadn't appeared for a long time, stood at the door. He glanced at the others in the room, then glared at Lady Ye. "I know. It's because you knew but refused to say that you were put to sleep."
"Where did you go?" When Yin Xiu returned to the town, he didn't see 408. He thought 408 had left through the passage from the dungeon boss, but he didn't expect to see him here again.
"I went to see an old friend and came back." 408 entered the room, casually pulled up a chair and sat down, then stared straight at Lady Night. "When the Black Cat Faction first wanted to kill the monster, they came to the White Cat Faction for a way to kill the evil god."
"At that time, many of the White Cat Faction members who refused to speak out were killed."
The black cat that was grooming itself on the table suddenly stopped and looked at room 408.
"Monsters can die? I remember you have a Fountain of Resurrection?" Yin Xiu remembered hearing monsters say that in the Hunting Grounds instance.
"If you players kill someone, you can definitely respawn, but if you're killed by a monster, you can't." 408 stared at the two opposite him, his fists clenched. "And one of my most important people was killed by the Black Cat Faction!"
Faced with 408's undisguised anger, Lady Night smiled casually, "You have to believe me, I would never harm my own kind. Back then, the leader of the Black Cat Faction wasn't us yet. My brother also tried to stop it, but we were too late."
As she spoke, she turned back and patted the black cat's head. "The Black Cat Faction was in chaos. We didn't have a good leader. Some were extremely extreme, and some were very hesitant. It wasn't until we completely broke with the White Cat Faction and didn't kill any monsters after the operation that things calmed down."
"It wasn't my brother and I who killed your lover, but the previous leader."
408 frowned, still harboring resentment towards them. "So, because fewer and fewer people in the White Cat Faction knew about it, in case a major problem arose in the future and we all died and couldn't be solved, you put us, these monsters who don't fit into the instance, into a deep sleep."
"In the end, it's good for you too, isn't it?" Lady Night smiled and looked at 408. "When we took over, it was already a mess. To prevent you from being hurt again, we put you to sleep."
"You White Cat Faction think we are extremely cruel, but isn't your self-proclaimed gentleness also a form of cruelty?"
"His birth was our shared mistake, but his loneliness attracted countless players to this place, and that was your mistake."
"If we had killed it back then, we wouldn't have so many problems now."
