Evil God? My servants are players!

"Luckily you stopped the monster, so we're all fine," Sasha said, putting away her weapon.

"It's alright, it's alright." Veronica, still shaken, breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Lady Veronica, do you know what just happened?" Sasha asked curiously.

Veronica asked Sasha, somewhat surprised, "You don't know what just happened?"

"None of us know," Sasha said, pointing to the members of the Ice Adventure Team.

"Do those resurrected ones know? But where have they gone?"

Veronica clearly remembered what had just happened.

Veronica wanted to check the information with the players, but she found that most of them had run away, with only a few remaining to watch.

So Veronica found a player to ask.

"Do you know what just happened?"

The player being questioned looked completely bewildered, and his answer was irrelevant:

"Is this some kind of rebellion against the Heavenly Order?! NPCs are grabbing players and demanding information?!"

But Veronica, eager to obtain information, still maintained a forced smile and continued to 'politely' inquire, "Do you know what just happened?"

"It's just a cutscene, right? A big black pillar just smashed the boss to death." The player, feeling a bit uneasy under Veronica's gaze, replied.

"Thank you for your answer." After saying this, Veronica returned to the Ice Adventure Team.

This only made the player more confused.

"What's going on? Is the AI ​​rebelling? Why is there a scene where an NPC is interrogating the player?!"

------

"What's wrong?"

Sasha asked after seeing Veronica's serious expression.

"Things might be getting serious," Veronica whispered.

"What's so serious?"

Veronica didn't respond, but instead changed the subject to the Frost Adventurers:

"I advise you not to join the Resurrected's faction; it's a very dangerous place."

It seems Veronica has guessed something.

"Of course we know the water is deep, but..."

"A god is involved! A god himself!" Veronica interrupted Sasha, stating her own guess.

"It's alright, I was prepared for this." Sasha's tone was indifferent, as if she really didn't care about the god Veronica mentioned.

She even began to thank Veronica: "Thank you, Lady Veronica, at least we have a new direction."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Sasha, Veronica could only sigh and look at the inescapable dome, saying:

"Whatever, I'm doomed anyway."

"Since things have come to this point, can't you just be clear about things, Lady Veronica?" Sasha was fed up with all sorts of riddles.

"A deity just intervened, and then erased all traces of His intervention, probably because He didn't want others to discover His presence."

At this point, Veronica shook her head again, seemingly lamenting her own situation:

"I thought that after regaining my strength, I could negotiate properly with the resurrected forces, but I didn't expect this, haha."

"Lady Veronica, you are a Holy Knight of the Church of Holy Light, a beacon of light..."

Sasha only offered a brief reminder and didn't continue.

"Want to ask the goddess for help? Do you think we can even get out?" Veronica said, pointing to the dome in the sky.

"I reckon if we touch the city's defensive magic circle, we'll be wiped out by some unknown god," Veronica said, offering her guess.

"No way, I feel like those hyacinths and resurrected beings are all good people. They didn't hurt my sister, so they shouldn't be evil gods," Sasha guessed.

"Hyacinth." Upon hearing this name, Veronica paused and looked at the hyacinth.

The hyacinth, which had been in the ceremony, was now surrounded by goblins, and no one was allowed to get close.

At that moment, the goblins parted to make way, and the hyacinth emerged from among them.

"Lady Hyacinth, we've already guessed it, so tell us," Veronica asked directly.

After all, the unknown god has successfully carried out the ritual, and He can now intervene in the reality near Hamlet Town.

Veronica now believes she is already in the possession of an unknown god.

Since there was no way to resist, she might as well die knowing why, so Veronica chose to get straight to the point.

But the 'Hyacinth' that came down from the altar had shining eyes and its clothes moved without wind.

Then, 'Hyacinth' spoke in a completely flat tone:

"Little one, our agreement is still in effect. We just want to walk in the sunlight again. What, you disagree?"

Seeing the hyacinth's special effects at their peak, Veronica immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered her head.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Frost Adventure Team all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads deeply, believing that a god had descended upon Hyacinth.

"Unknown Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending you, the agreement is of course valid!" Veronica said respectfully, without even raising her head.

"That's good. My people are just a pitiful bunch, and even I am cursed. I hope you won't discriminate against them." Hyacinth suddenly became very talkative.

"Unknown Your Majesty, can you tell us the truth?" Seeing that the deity seemed willing to say more, Veronica quickly pressed for an answer.

"No, we are cursed, and there are many things we cannot say, otherwise you will also be tainted by misfortune."

"I should go now. Let Hyacinth handle the rest. Remember to keep your promise."

During the long-range attack, Shen Yuan casually erased everyone else's memories, leaving only Veronica's, just to put pressure on her.

This made her realize that there was a powerful force behind this group of resurrected beings, and that she should think twice before breaking the contract.

Shen Yuan had assumed that Veronica would endure the humiliation and remain silent for the sake of the bigger picture.

After all, if she chose to offend a god, not only would she be wiped out, but the entire town of Hamlet would be reduced to ashes.

But to Shen Yuan's surprise, when he put pressure on the pressure cooker, it exploded.

Veronica immediately started talking about designer brands. In desperation, Shen Yuan could only temporarily appease Veronica through Hyacinth's words to prevent any unexpected situations from arising.

But Shen Yuan didn't say much; the more lies you tell, the more mistakes you make.

Reveal some information, and let them fill in the rest in their imagination.

Shen Yuan wasn't worried about revealing that he was a god, just like having cockroaches in your house versus having interstellar insectoids in your house—the two cannot be generalized.

Moreover, Shen Yuan believed that if Veronica wasn't stupid, she wouldn't have leaked this information, since it wouldn't bring any benefits and would turn Hamlet Town upside down.

Even if this matter is exposed, there is a way to remedy it: spread a lot of rumors about the appearance of a god in a certain place, and then the matter of the god in Hamlet Town will be quickly forgotten.

------

Then, the light in Hyacinth's eyes disappeared, and her clothes stopped floating.

Seeing this, Veronica realized that the unknown deity had left, and she got up again to respectfully inquire of the hyacinth.

"Lady Hyacinth, what should we do next?"

"Save your town, and we'll help too," Hyacinth replied.

As the hyacinth finished speaking, the revitalized houses that had been stacked together began to move their massive bodies back to their original places.

The houses with people inside automatically opened their doors, attempting to let the people inside out.

Seeing this, Veronica understood what she had to do, and she leaped onto the clock tower.

Fortunately, the clock tower was neither revitalized nor destroyed in the battle, so it can still fulfill its original function.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

Two fast chimes followed by one slow chime, three chimes in total, signifying that the town is safe and the townspeople need to gather in the square.

The townspeople who heard the bell did not immediately come out of their houses, but instead peered out through their windows to see what was happening outside.

Although these townspeople hiding in their houses had seen the players running around fighting the Chaos Eggs, they knew that there was indeed a battle outside.

But in their eyes, both the Chaos Egg and the undead were villains, so no one dared to leave the "safe" living house; they were still observing.

All the townspeople who had seen Veronica had been rescued by her, so even though the bells rang for a long time, not a single villager came out.

Veronica sighed when she saw that no one responded to her call. Without a messenger, she had no choice but to do it herself.

Veronica drew her sword, raised it high above her head, and then a surge of holy light erupted forth.

These holy lights were not lethal, but they were bright enough that they illuminated an area of ​​the dimly lit town like the sun.

Moreover, this holy light, representing hope, can be seen even from a great distance.

Ding~ Ding~ Ding~

The bells rang again, but this time, accompanied by the appearance of holy light, the townspeople realized who had regained control of the town.

The townspeople came out of their houses, praising their savior.

"It's the Holy Light of the Church of Holy Light! Lady Veronica has succeeded again!"

"Thank goodness, we're finally saved!"

"Bravo, Lady Veronica! I hope she won't let the Earl take power again."
