Chapter 360: Strangers

Once the "teleportation word" of Mount Alagas is activated, it will only send people to the corridor engraved with coordinates.

And the group of people who appeared out of thin air in front of him obviously came in another way.

Moyu concluded that the instigator was the unknown organism hanging upside down on the top of the cave, but he didn't know the other party's intention.

Prey?

Since ordinary people are the target, there is no need to go through so much trouble, so the possibility is very low.

Playing? Sacrifice?

There is too little information, Moyu can't figure out the thread, and can only wait and see in the dark.

"One hundred people, one is a Nen user."

Moyu observed the group of people who were shouting and soon noticed the only Nen user in the crowd.

It was a fat man with a middle-parted hairstyle, narrow eyes, and fair skin and tender flesh.

The white shirt on him seemed to be too small, and the fat flesh was almost bursting the button blockade.

If it weren't for the telekinesis that lingered in his body, which was as conspicuous as a crane standing out among a group of ordinary people, it would be difficult for Moyou to notice the existence of this fat man in a short time.

"The basic skills are very good."

After carefully observing the entanglement on the fat man, Moyou secretly paid attention.

The main reason is that the fat man looks about the same age as himself, but his basic skills are very solid.

From this performance, two most basic information can be obtained.

This fat man -

It is very likely that he is not from a wild background, and it is very likely that he has mature telekinesis.

Temporarily retracting his gaze, Moyou turned to look at the unknown organism hanging upside down on the top of the cave.

Several minutes have passed, and this unknown organism is like a sculpture, hiding its breath and not moving.

On the flat ground.

The emotions of the crowd are like a stretched rubber band, which can break at any time.

Anyone who encounters such a thing will find it difficult to remain calm.

What's more, there are nearly a hundred people here. Under the influence of the herd effect, this panic-induced emotion makes them more sensitive and suspicious.

Only a few people began to observe the surrounding environment, trying to obtain some useful information.

Unfortunately, ordinary people know nothing about the ability of Nen, and the natural lack of cognition will limit their ability to find solutions.

Mi Ji is also observing the surrounding environment.

"Which bastard did it..."

Unlike ordinary people who know nothing about the ability of Nen, Mi Ji, as a Nen user, does not need to collect too much information, and can be sure that some kind of Nen ability sent him here.

And compared to figuring out where this place is, he is more concerned about the unknown Nen user who sent him here.

Because he was sent here instantly without knowing it...

In fact, for a moment, he even thought that Killua used Alluka's ability to send him to this ghost place.

But the next second he denied this guess.

Because Alluka has been confined, and Brother Illumi inserted a needle in Killua's head, causing Killua to lose any memory related to Alluka.

But the birth of this guess also shows that Mi Ji is afraid of the Nen user who sent him here.

"Damn it."

Mi Ji, who had encountered an unexpected incident, habitually bit his thumb, his eyes moved quickly left and right, always paying attention to the slightest movement around him.

The noise coming from all directions really made him upset.

"I have been staying at home for too long. If I could complete the commission regularly, I would not be unable to afford even an out-of-print game cartridge."

Mi Ji bit his thumb hard and kept complaining in his heart: "If I had enough money, I would not have to go out at all. I just need to ask the seller to mail the cartridge to me, and I would not have to endure the loud voices of a group of idiots here."

In fact, if Shiba or other members of the family were willing to lend Mi Ji money, then Mi Ji would not have to go out to find a way to get a loan.

If he did not go out to get a loan, he would not encounter such a thing.

Mi Ji himself understood why his father was unwilling to lend him money. He just wanted him to focus on the commission, so that at least he would not worry about money.

But now it is too late to regret.

Mi Ji can blame himself, but he dare not blame his father.

"First, find a way to leave this damn place."

Concentrating his meaningless thoughts, Mi Ji glanced at the other people around him.

They were all ordinary people who didn't know how to read. In this way, his presence here was instantly maximized, and he was just short of having a target on his head.

Although he had the idea of ​​putting away the "entanglement" and disguising himself as an ordinary person, he didn't put it into action in the end.

He was sent in, so what was the point of disguising himself in this situation.

There is certainly a risk of being the first to be hit, but it is more important to always ensure your own defense capabilities.

"Is this... a ruin?"

Mi Ji looked at the underground city ruins shrouded in green light in the distance, and his eyes flickered a few times.

For some people, the ruins preserved in the long river of history are a treasure of civilization of inestimable value, but for some people, ruins like the one in front of them can also be a bargaining chip that can be exchanged for a lot of wealth.

Mi Ji is obviously the latter.

So after seeing the ruins, although he was still highly vigilant, a sense of greed emerged in his heart.

There should be a lot of valuable goods in there, right?

If I just sell it, I might be able to buy that out-of-print Sonic game cartridge, and even have enough money to stay at home.

Thinking of this, Mi Ji's eyes sparkled.

The people around were still making a lot of noise, but it was obviously not as noisy as at the beginning.

Some people focused on the ruins of the underground city and had the same idea as Mi Ji.

In their eyes, the underground city ruins standing in the cold green light was equivalent to a huge potential wealth.

Even if you pry off a small piece of meat from above, it is very likely to alleviate the current difficult situation, or even turn around and give birth to a new life.

The greed that grew in my heart gradually overcame the fear.

Those who were more courageous were already walking towards the ruins quietly.

This man is a gambler. Because of his gambling habit, he lost all his wealth, separated his wife and children, and finally came to the end of his life.

"Money, as long as you give me a little money, I can definitely make a profit!"

Before he was forcibly sent here, he robbed and killed people in order to make money, but the money he robbed was too little to satisfy his desires.

I wanted to do something bigger, but I ended up here inexplicably.

Now that he has seen the ruins of the underground city, his only remaining thought is to get a lot of money.

Naturally, this gambler's actions cannot be concealed from other people with ulterior motives.

But no one raised any alarm. Instead, they each found a location and sneaked over.

"It's a big place, first come, first served."

The expanding greed suppressed fear, and more and more people began to take action, moving towards the ruins of the underground city.

Moyu saw this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly.

If it was the telepathic person approaching the dungeon ruins, Moyu wouldn't be surprised.

After all, talented people are bold.

But why do these ordinary people dare to enter the underground city ruins without knowing anything about it?

I was so panicked just a few minutes ago...

Moyu felt an unusual aura.

"If we let them in..."

Seeing the group of ordinary people scattered towards the underground city, Moyu frowned slowly.

There must be armored corpses and head-hugging human statues controlled by thoughts of death in the city. If these ordinary people enter, they will definitely die.

Suddenly, a neutral voice that could not be distinguished as male or female came from behind.

"It's their choice."

Hearing the sudden sound, Moyu had no intention of turning around, but immediately looked at the unknown organism hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave.

The reason why I didn’t turn around and respond was——

There was nothing in the back view complemented by the shadow clone hidden elsewhere.

Although the sound came from behind, that was the fact.

At the same time, Moyu could feel the sight of the unknown life form looking over at him.

"..."

Looking at the unknown life form silently, Moyu was secretly vigilant.

During the last contact, although the other party showed no hostility and even gave him an eyeball, things are different now than in the past, and it is not a bad thing to be more considerate.

The unknown organism hanging upside down from the cave ceiling is Mammon.

He looked at Moyu, who was hiding in the corner, with a hint of surprise in the depths of his obsidian eyes.

He was surprised that Moyu was here, while not allowing Moyu to ruin his important meal.

"Don't do anything. It's not a request, it's a message."

Mammen's voice reached Moyu's ears again.

But the second sentence contains a strong warning.

Moyu's eyes narrowed, and he was already sure that these people were sent in by unknown organisms, and that they might also have exerted suggestive manipulation abilities on this group of people.

There are also an unknown number of armored corpses and human statues holding heads in the ruins. Letting this group of people enter the ruins is no different than sending them into a tiger's mouth.

But this matter seemed to be very important to this unknown organism, so he was specifically warned not to meddle in his own business.

"Who are you? And why do you do this?"

Moyu did not act rashly, but lowered his voice and asked from a distance.

He didn't know if the other party could hear him, so he just tried to ask a question that might get more information.

And Mammon can not only send the sound directly into Moyu's ears in a certain way, but also hear Moyu's lowered voice from a distance.

"I am a stranger. All I did was give them a chance to make their own choices."

Mammen's answer rang in Moyu's ears.

"A chance to choose...?"

Moyu frowned slightly, looking at the group of people entering the ruins from the corner of his eye, and vaguely understood something.

The so-called opportunity to choose is probably to send this group of people to the ruins.

So there are two choices before this group of people.

One is to focus on getting out of trouble, then it may be like last time, when the time comes, everyone will be teleported out.

The other is to explore the ruins. Although you will always be threatened by armored corpses and human statues holding heads, there is a certain probability of looting valuable things.

This is true on the surface, but...

"But you 'control' them."

Moyu met Mamen's gaze.

Judging from the reactions of this group of people, it was obviously affected by the ability of the operating system.

Since it is control, why bother using "choice" to cover it up?

"Ah……"

Facing the facts pointed out by Moyu, Mamen responded with a sarcastic sneer.

But perhaps thinking of Moyu’s special identity, he still responded:

"It's not me who controls them, but greed and desire."

"..."

Moyou was silent, his eyes slightly changed.

Greed and desire...

With just this answer, he can combine the previous judgment and come to a conclusion that is very close to the answer.

It is undoubtedly a suggestive operation system ability.

Use greed and desire to induce others to make choices, and use greed and desire to cover up various potential crises.

The question is-

Why do this?

If it is simply to let this group of people die, then just do it directly.

Moyou has seen the surging aura of this unknown organism.

The total amount of the manifested aura alone can exert considerable combat power.

And this group of people in the field, except for the fat man with the ability to read, as long as this unknown organism is willing, one finger can get rid of everyone, so why bother.

There must be a reason and motive for doing this deliberately.

Moyou thought silently.

At the top of the cave.

Mammon glanced at the people who had already entered the ruins, and then spread his wings and flew straight to Moyou.

Noticing Mammon's movements, Moyu was secretly alert.

"Jian"

Without caring about being noticed by the fat man, Moyu immediately released his telekinesis to the maximum extent, and then tightly wrapped it around his body.

Mammon didn't care about Moyu's reaction.

As a stranger, he always abided by his principles and never really killed humans.

What he has done in the past is just to let humans release their nature more wantonly.

"Your human nature has always been like this, do you want to deny this?"

Mammon slowly landed a few meters in front of Moyu, with no emotion on his smooth and pale face.

Moyu stared at Mammon, but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What about you? Do you want to deny the fact that you used your ability to influence them?"

"I don't deny it, but I just accelerated the process. In fact, they should thank me."

Mammon retracted his wings, shrank behind him, and said calmly:

"I gave them a precious opportunity. People who love vanity and have high debts may be able to use this opportunity to get enough money to repay their debts. People who are addicted to gambling and have no way out may be able to use this opportunity to regain their lives. Do you understand?"

"..."

Of course Moyu understood.

It is not this unknown organism that controls this group of people, but the imminent situation, the desire and greed of human beings.

But at the same time, it is also this unknown organism that creates a situation that allows this group of people to be controlled.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from not far away.

Moyu didn't need to send a shadow clone to check and knew that someone was attacked by an armored corpse or a human statue holding his head.

Mammon ignored the screams and stared at Moyu who suddenly fell silent.

From the beginning to the end, there was no malice in his aura, even when talking about the situation faced by those ordinary people, he did not show any malice.

In addition to preventing Moyu from interfering with eating, he was also very curious about how Moyu returned to the ruins.

"How did you get in?"

"Same as last time."

Moyu did not hide it, but just answered a little tricky.

But Mammon knew the mechanism of the entire ruins, and a humanized surprise appeared in his obsidian eyes.

"You activated the 'channel'? So, you learned the 'contact'?"

"Contact...?"

Moyu was slightly startled.
