Chapter 242: Captivity and Protection

"In the end, did you become what you are now?" Mo Wei didn't dare to imagine that scene anymore. When she just recalled it, the weird tune seemed to reach her ears through the endless void.

"When I came back to my senses, my soul had returned to the room. Only then did I realize that the crazy words spoken by the lunatics in the neighborhood committee were correct, so I took off my uniform and joined the neighborhood committee." The glamorous woman The man stood up and took out a black uniform from the cabinet next to him and threw it on the table, scattering flying dust. "They will one day understand and take off their uniforms and come here and come to this wonderful world."

Don't laugh at those crazy people, they just stay crazy longer than us.

The words she saw at the guard booth came to Mo Wei's mind instinctively, and her hand unconsciously touched the armband on her uniform. A disgusting and evil aura immediately emanated from the armband, giving her an electric shock. He withdrew his hand.

[Nyarlathotep's old seal: a symbolic mark of the old days, exuding the chaotic and terrifying atmosphere of Nyarlathotep. 】

"So, the property management staff didn't persecute you, it was all the fault of Building 89?" Ji Yining asked from the side.

"Persecution? No, they are just a group of poor people who signed a contract with an indescribable great being. In order to maintain their poor sanity and help Him manage this amusement park, He gave these poor people a place to live, and The neighborhood committee is responsible for pleasing Him, presenting the strongest negative emotions, and the music composed of screams and howls will make Him happy. "

The beautiful young woman suddenly giggled, "Sanity is just a curse, just as life is accidental, death is inevitable, and madness is the end of sanity."

"It has caused you so much misery, don't you want to drive it away? Then you don't have to hurt other people to collect negative emotions, and you don't have to live in terror anymore." Mo Wei looked at the beautiful young woman going crazy. He couldn't help but tell his true purpose.

"What do you mean?" The faces of the two women who were still smiling turned cold.

"Perhaps we can unite the residents of the entire community to fight against it and drive them away. Then it will not be able to coerce you."

[Resident 4949 in Building 2 has a favorable impression of you -20. 】

[The favorability of the residents in Building 2 4444 towards you is -30. 】

Their favorability dropped so much all of a sudden. Aren't they being persecuted by those monsters? Why do you want to help them and still be hated?

Mo Wei felt that the temperature in the neighborhood committee suddenly dropped, and the two women's eyes gradually became unkind, but because they had gained a lot of favorability points before, they still restrained and did not take action.

"Get out! You don't deserve to live in Arkham Community! Get out of here!" The beautiful young woman's hair was flying, and black blood vessels were looming under her skin.

"Why!?"

The beautiful young woman did not answer any more. The four of them were thrown out by an invisible force, and the door of the neighborhood committee was also closed, no longer welcoming their arrival.

"It's useless. They won't agree. It should be said that no one will agree." Joey's weak voice came from the suitcase.

"What is the reason for this?" Mo Wei couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation no matter how hard she tried, why these people were willing to be dominated and struggled in despair and fear.

"Because they are not only keeping them in captivity, but also protecting them." Joey said desperately: "Their existence prevents outsiders from doing whatever they want. If they leave, the protection mechanism of this community will also disappear, and all residents will No longer able to defend against outsiders.”

"In fact, when the blood moon comes, they deliberately lose the protection mechanism because they can hear more desperate screams."

"I can't understand." Li Wenbin's mind was a little confused.

"It's very simple." Ji Yining explained: "If the Arkham community is compared to a sheepfold, and negative emotions are goat milk, then outsiders are wolves who will prey on sheep without restraint, and those beings are shepherds who protect He keeps these sheep just to get milk from them.”

"If the shepherd is lost, all the sheep will be eaten up by hungry wolves, so they would rather live in fear to please the shepherd and ensure that they survive. They can do nothing but live."

The two newcomers, Li Wenbin and Liu Jiangzhou, fell silent. This was the first time they had experienced the most vivid sense of despair and powerlessness since entering the game.

"Is this the Cthulhu created by Qin Ge?" Liu Jiangzhou murmured: "Under despair, there is only deeper despair. I finally understand why there is such a big difference in his reputation on the Internet. This world view really makes It’s hard for people to accept.”

"We can unite to drive away the shepherds and then fight against the hungry wolves together! This is completely possible!" Mo Wei clenched her fists and said angrily: "I don't believe that no residents in this community will Willing to fight against those existences with us!"

"Do you want to continue?" Ji Yining asked a little bit unbearably.

"Go on, I'm going to find other residents! If you don't want to, you can find a way to go back first. Doesn't the rule say you can just call 514514?"

"I called." Li Wenbin put down the phone beside his ear and said with an ugly smile: "They said it was a crematorium over there and they would reserve a good spot for us."

grass! Sure enough, it was Old Thief Qin’s bad taste!

Ji Yining complained inwardly and said, "Then let's try again, go talk to other residents, and then find a way to return to the other world. These residents can travel between the two worlds, so there must be a way."

The four of them walked out of Building No. 2 and saw the full picture of Arkham Community in the Blood Moon World for the first time. There was not much difference, but the location of Building No. 9 had become an endless black high wall, on which human faces roared and emerged and sank. Up and down, left and right, everything visible to the naked eye was this black high wall, blocking everything.

However, the drums and flute tunes could still be heard faintly penetrating the wall, coming from the other side with endless madness, and all the negative emotions shrouding Jingling City turned into visible mist and passed into the wall from all directions.

Don't go there, absolutely don't go there!

Liu Jiangzhou instinctively took a few steps back when he saw the high wall. It took a lot of effort to control the urge to run away. He didn't know why a mere wall could make him instinctively feel fear from the bottom of his heart. What was very contradictory was that he also had the urge to find out what was going on.

The other three people were not much better. They were trembling all over and their faces were pale.
