They were all very familiar with this sound. None of them had heard it before, and they were all 'personnel' who had suffered greatly from it.
If you can't hear it, then the NPCs you have spent these decades have been in vain.
"Why - did I delay you from clearing your accounts?"
Fu Qingyan walked slowly every step of the way, like an old man going out for shopping after dinner, his tone and demeanor were so leisurely.
Appearing in everyone's field of vision against the light, the light of the banquet slowly spread, allowing the high-level NPCs standing at the door to see at a glance - Fu Qingyan's physical body had returned to its place.
Zhu Yin once said that Fu Qingyan's separated entity seemed to have gone to the 'real world', leaving behind a virtual body as the number one manager to maintain order and rules in the thriller game.
In that state, Fu Qingyan's strength would naturally be greatly reduced. He could barely tie with them and couldn't even suppress them.
Looking at it again today, it is obviously abnormal for the physical and virtual bodies to return to their original positions.
Zhu Yin thought of an explanation.
They are all NPCs with advanced wisdom, and there is an essential difference from those NPCs below level ten.
That is, their brains may be 'smarter' than humans, and their thinking is higher than that of normal people.
Therefore, they can think of everything Zhu Yin can think of.
"Damn it - it's too big!" The tall Lu Jinyang carefully looked for the cover around him.
Until Fu Qingyan's whole body appeared in the light, and the air around him was trembling, "I said - you are really going to find trouble for me -"
"You really think I can't do anything to you -"
With a leisurely tone, Fu Qingyan grabbed the attention of everyone present as soon as he came out.
This includes Ana Shen.
He had no intention of looking outside until all the NPCs reacted, and then - he saw...
The pretentious Fu Qingyan.
Don't say——
This one looks quite handsome...
"The game is about to be 'archived', you guys are really delaying things..."
"Do you think that by helping to open three channels and contact the 'people' over there, the thriller game won't cut off all connections?"
"You know, you all exist because of Thriller Games."
"This is your destination——"
Taking a small step forward, Fu Qingyan spoke word by word.
His voice was low, but particularly loud in this silent atmosphere.
All the NPCs who had no intention of eavesdropping heard these words.
They paused blankly and listened carefully to what the No. 1 administrator said next.
A long time ago, they didn't know that they were in a dispensable 'space', until that day when the institute exploded, and one of them actually walked out of this 'space' and disappeared.
After that, the NPCs had the idea that there was another 'world' outside of this game.
After all, they are just individuals outside of this world.
Not tolerated by the world.
"You have no choice -"
"This is the ending, but you actually want to join forces with those people. Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the game?"
"Again and again, I am not a good-tempered person..."
"You should have thought about the consequences when you test-"
Within a few words, all the NPCs in the inner city and even the outer city fell into silence. They knew clearly their situation in the game, but they did not expect that someone would collude with 'people outside' in order to get out.
"So - are you ready to accept the punishment of the system?" Fu Qingyan raised his eyes and stood in the night dressed in black. He did not choose to enter the banquet.
I was just here to do a small thing, and it didn't matter whether I got in or not.
Perhaps the biggest difference is that they are obviously poker buddies who played mahjong together a long time ago, but because of their different positions and different perspectives on issues, that's all.
They became rivals.
"Haha - you said 'file it, just file it', have you considered the fate of our NPCs?"
"Why didn't they give you the key? The manager must also know it. It's just because once they give it to you, it might speed up the 'filing' time!"
"We NPCs just want a way to survive, and you won't even give us this!!"
Lu Jinyang's rough voice and cold face just broke the endless silence.
'Archiving' means that the horror game will collapse and everything will return to zero, and then these NPCs will also return to their original state, that is, they have never appeared.
Obliterated by the system.
This is what happened to them.
This so-called 'archiving' is just to prevent those people in the future from using the thriller game as a bridge to appear in the real world, but once this is done, these NPCs will become 'victims'.
They are just a part of this culture that prevents invasion, and no one cares about their life or death.
Even if they are extremely high level ten NPCs, they cannot escape the rules of the game.
In order to survive, they find a way out for themselves, what's wrong with that?
"We are the masters here. Even if you are related to the caster here, you have to ask for our opinions."
"As for why you cooperated with those people, let me ask - did you give us a way to survive?"
"At least, they promised us, after that, the horror game will still be there."
"And you chose to give up everything in order to intercept the so-called invasion. You are really great - our dear Manager No. 1 -"
Every word was an accusation against Fu Qingyan. Mu Qian sneered, and her words were conveyed in everyone's heart.
Among them are many players hiding in Monster City.
It turns out that NPCs also have their difficulties...
Every individual in this world is working hard to live, and some people use up everything just to survive...
