"I don't think anyone else has any objections to tomorrow's operation, right?" Zhong Mu glanced at the people around him out of the corner of his eye, imitating Xiu Ge's manner and using the coldest gaze to intimidate them.
But for some reason, the people around them became even more excited, nodding obediently, "No, no! We'll do whatever you say!"
The expressions on their faces didn't suggest they were intimidated by his imposing manner, but in the end, it was best to listen to him.
This was Zhong Mu's first time independently impersonating a big shot, and he was a little nervous.
But whether you imitate Boss Ye or Brother Xiu, it's useful. It's just that the two styles are quite different, and the effects they bring are probably not the same.
"Alright, let's hurry up and deal with that person." Zhong Mu stood still and pointed behind him. He didn't want to see the incomplete human figure lying on the ground, otherwise his heart would tremble and he would be unable to help but feel scared.
"Okay, okay, we'll do whatever you say!" The people around were very efficient at this moment.
They did whatever Zhong Mu said, their movements clean and swift.
After the bodies were cleaned up, even those who had wanted to say something earlier were now quiet and could only follow the main group.
Who can deal with a man who holds both information and power? If he wants to be the leader, let him be. Opposing him will only get you killed.
After silencing the opposition within the team, Zhong Mu pulled out the little wooden figure he had previously made up.
There was no prop related to the agreement with the monster at all. This was just a small wooden doll containing Ling Feng. He brought it back to fool everyone and increase the credibility of his words, and then burned it in the small base that Ling Feng had been painstakingly building.
The bonfire was lit, and everyone stood solemnly around it, watching Zhong Mu raise the small wooden figure in his hand and then throw it into the fire.
A piercing scream erupted from the fire, like a human's scream. Although it was frightening, they didn't care because they thought it was something obtained from a monster and it was normal for it to make strange noises. Instead, they stood in front of the fire and mourned as Zhong Mu had arranged.
Zhong Mu sat leisurely to the side, listening to Ling Feng's screams coming from the fire, humming a little tune.
Let the small group he once gathered mourn for him; it's a sign of Zhong Mu's kindness. From now on, this small group will be his people, forcibly pulled back from the brink of becoming enemies. Let them pay their last respects to their former captain.
Ling Feng's screams continued intermittently for a while before finally disappearing, and the little wooden figure turned to ashes in the fire.
"Alright! Everyone, go and rest after you've finished your moment of silence. Get plenty of rest, and we'll set off for the town tomorrow!" Zhong Mu clapped his hands and dismissed the crowd, letting them pack up and rest.
He sat to one side, took out a small mirror from his pocket, and began to examine the doctor's face in the mirror.
Good-looking people really do have an advantage; his appearance has brought him a lot of convenience, especially the contrast between his appearance and Zhong Mu himself.
Zhong Mu, standing at 1.8 meters tall, was a model young man with impeccable character. He stood there holding a weapon, glaring menacingly at his opponent, his demeanor quite different from Mu He's.
If he were to appear as a physician, even wielding an axe, his aggressiveness would be somewhat diminished, making people underestimate him.
More importantly, it can win the hearts of those who appreciate good looks, such as Zhong Mu himself.
"It's so beautiful, it looks good from every angle." Taking advantage of the doctor's absence, Zhong Mu admired it from every angle and exclaimed.
Even if the doctor only showed the back of his head, he would look better than him.
"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful!" The people next to them also exclaimed, only to be glared at by Zhong Mu.
Turn your head away! Don't look at me!
His fierce glare softened somewhat, making him appear less aggressive, but the other person still obediently turned their head away.
How could someone admire their own beauty in a mirror but not let others see it?
This leader is somewhat narcissistic.
After observing carefully for a while, Zhong Mu obediently put away the small mirror. Although she was using this appearance, it wasn't her own face after all. Staring at the mirror for too long made her feel like the doctor himself was looking at her, and she felt a little embarrassed.
It's better to behave yourself; if you accidentally get caught by the doctor, it will severely damage your reputation.
Time flies by in the town, and almost all the players are secretly counting down the days.
It's been quite a while since the Deep Sea instance ended. They worked hard to retrieve Boss Ye's soul and the resurrection items, counting down the days, managing the town and keeping it running in Boss Ye's absence.
Now that the town has encountered such a disaster, they are struggling to survive. They either perish here together or be reborn here with Boss Ye.
As the gray sky gradually lightened, dawn was just around the corner, and everyone's hearts grew increasingly excited.
But just as a sliver of light appeared on the horizon, it was suddenly swallowed up by darkness, sending a chill down one's spine.
In the distance, the sound of bells rang out, echoing throughout the town and alerting everyone.
Everyone quickly found good places to hide, preparing for the arrival of the black fog.
No one knew what would appear in the black fog this time, so everyone took precautions.
The bell tolled continuously, echoing like an alarm bell in the quiet town.
The sky was completely shrouded in darkness, without a single ray of light.
Zhong Mu stood on the edge of the town, looking up at the sky, waiting for the strange thing to appear again. Just like yesterday, there were red-glowing dark clouds and the sound of singing, but nothing new.
Zhong Mu waited for today's new tricks, but nothing came. He looked up for a long time but heard no sound.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a deep groan suddenly came from beside me.
"My body...my body has been...changed..."
"My hand! My... hand—!"
"My head is going to explode! It hurts so much! Someone help me..."
"My body is contorted! Aaaaaah!"
One after another, the sounds of collapse rang out. Zhong Mu turned his head in surprise and found that the dungeon players around him were all curled up on the ground, struggling in pain.
Extra limbs uncontrollably sprouted from their bodies, and their forms twisted and crawled, as if they were about to transform into a new kind of creature.
Zhong Mu was startled, realizing that although he did not feel pain, his body was also changing. He quickly took out the candy that Mu He had given him earlier from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, barely suppressing the changes in his body.
In the deep-sea instance, the mutation is caused by a change in cognition, and the food is gummy candy. In the mental hospital, the mutation is caused by mental corruption, and the food is hard candy.
Zhong Mu ate the hard candy and experienced relief, indicating that this anomaly was caused by the influence of the mental hospital.
Those resentful monsters went to great lengths this time, even bringing the effects of a mental hospital to the scene.
