"Oh my, it still looks so beautiful even now," Zhong Mu exclaimed, staring at the doctor's face reflected in the glass window.
But the image in the mirror changed with his expression, completely different from Mu He's actual appearance, lacking that certain charm.
Zhong Mu quickly composed himself and carefully observed the face reflected in the glass, as if Mu He was also staring intently at him through the glass.
Zhong Mu coughed lightly, looked away, and decided to get down to business first.
He appeared in the town with a new look. His long, snow-white hair instantly attracted the attention of many people. This seemingly gentle, modest, and polite man walked with an imposing and righteous air. The two feelings intertwined, making people feel that it was too wonderful.
The townspeople were whispering amongst themselves because they had already seen the disguise Zhong Mu was wearing. News travels fast in town, and even if some people didn't know just a moment ago, they now knew who he was.
Most of the muttered thoughts were, "When did Zhong Mu get to know someone so good-looking?! Why don't I know anyone like that?!"
"Long white hair, looks quite unusual, probably not a player, right? Did she hook up with a monster?"
"He often follows Brother Xiu around, so he might actually be hooking up with a weirdo, but this weirdo is really good-looking."
"Brothers, look at his chest, it's flat, he's a guy. Don't be fooled by his long hair, Zhong Mu still doesn't have any luck with women."
"Hiss... a man... I'm not against it either."
"Brother, I advise you to calm down."
The players from the small town just stood at a distance discussing this person, without approaching or greeting them. To the players in the dungeon, this was proof that the players from the small town were not familiar with this person. Although they had never seen such a conspicuous person in the player group before, they could try to recruit someone who was not from the small town into their own camp to gain more strength.
Just as Zhong Mu had predicted, as soon as he stepped out of the sight of the town's players, he was immediately surrounded by several dungeon players in a corner of the square.
"We've never seen you before. Are you from this town?" The group looked the long-haired man up close. He seemed gentle and easy to talk to, and they thought they could get on his good side.
Zhong Mu coughed lightly and spoke in a gentle tone, mimicking Mu He, "I'm not from the town, I'm a player too."
"Then why haven't I seen you before?" Several players frowned, clearly not so easily convinced.
"I was trapped in the black fog as soon as I arrived. I was so scared that I hid and didn't know what was happening outside. It was the people in the town who found me and said that the town could accept me…" As she spoke, Zhong Mu frowned, showing distress on her delicate face. "Can they really be trusted?"
"Don't trust them!" Seeing his wavering stance, the person on the other end quickly pulled him to their side. "The people in the town are sacrifices, and some of them have mutated into monsters. They're all very dangerous! Don't trust them easily!"
"Really? I don't think they're that bad." Zhong Mu put on an innocent face.
Whether they were bewitched by his face or simply resented the town and didn't want it to have another accomplice, they tried their best to persuade the wavering Zhong Mu, and stopped dwelling on his suspicious identity. Instead, they earnestly told him about the current situation in the town.
"Huh? If I go there, I'll have to hand over my items and food? That's a bit dangerous." Zhong Mu pretended to be troubled. "But that player you mentioned who's missing and in danger might come back soon, and then we'll still have to listen to them, right?"
"About this…" One of the men looked around, and after confirming that no town players were nearby, he grabbed Zhong Mu and headed to the other side of the square. "Come with us to our little base. They're all over town, so it's easy for them to overhear."
"Okay." Zhong Mu nodded obediently, silently rolling her eyes in her mind.
The mole was right after all; it turns out these people banded together and formed a small base so quickly.
He maintained a calm expression and followed behind the group of people, watching them lead him to the vicinity of the bus station on the edge of town. Because this was the edge of town, it would be easy to get lost if you went any further out, so players from the town rarely came here.
But now this place has become a small base for dungeon players. As soon as you get close, you can see some unfamiliar faces gathered together, sitting in groups under the trees or at the bus stop, seemingly discussing something.
When Zhong Mu appeared with such an unfamiliar face, he immediately attracted the attention of others. Those who were talking immediately stopped their discussions and focused their gazes on Zhong Mu, their faces tense.
Faced with so many people staring at him, Zhong Mu was still a little nervous. After all, Mu He was one of the side bosses of the unknown dungeon, and who knows if some of these people had seen him before!
As soon as the leader stopped, the people sitting around him immediately stood up and hurriedly gathered around Zhong Mu.
Faced with the menacing crowd that was closing in, Zhong Mu was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he tried his best to keep smiling.
But after these people arrived, they asked the leader, "Are we on this side?"
After the leader nodded, the expressions on the faces of the people around him changed slightly. They gathered around and chattered, "We've never seen you before? Someone as good-looking as you, I shouldn't have missed you, right?"
"I…I was so scared by the black mist that I hid…" Zhong Mu gave them the same dry answer.
"Oh, I see! No wonder you look unfamiliar. You haven't joined the town yet, have you? Be careful of the people in town."
"Yes, yes, you can't trust the people in town, but you can trust us. The people in town are hostile, but we will definitely be your allies."
"Don't worry, although we're in a tough spot right now, as long as we stick together, we'll definitely be able to clear this dungeon!"
"Yes, you have to trust us. If you choose our side, we won't let you down. We'll help you through the dungeons."
Faced with the enthusiasm and encouragement of those around him, Zhong Mu roughly understood that their strange emotions were not due to suspicion of him, but rather an urgent desire to win him over and make him one of their own.
And judging from the expressions on these people's faces, they definitely liked this face just as much as I did.
Zhong Mu silently hummed to himself. Even though he was the one using it, the doctor's face was just too attractive!
Looking at these men who were showering him with affection with ulterior motives, he had to do his best to protect himself! To protect his reputation as a doctor!
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere from behind.
"Who's this white-haired guy? Wasn't it agreed that I'd be the first to see the newcomers?"
The voice startled Zhong Mu; it was very familiar.
Then he turned his head and, sure enough, saw a familiar face.
