Evil God? My servants are players!

"But how do we deal with these curses?" Veronica pressed.

"Unfortunately, it can't be dealt with. Even the gods can't deal with these curses," Hyacinth replied.

"But didn't you say you could cure the mutations in the townspeople?"

"Of course, you just need to remove the mutated part and treat the wound."

The harsh answer made Veronica take a step back; it was a simple treatment, but also very difficult.

Although there are priests in this world, medical expenses are still a considerable burden.

Although Veronica can do it herself, it would probably take forever for her to heal all the residents on her own.

This also means that most residents must endure the effects of the curse for a long time.

The only thing that made Veronica feel fortunate was that, under the influence of the curse, the townspeople didn't care about the physical mutations.

Moreover, these mutations do not appear to cause any harm to the townspeople's health.

So the only effect of the curse might be the strange looks from other people.

However, Hamlet Town is a remote town with few outsiders. It was only when the anomaly occurred in the Sien Dungeon that it attracted a group of top adventurers.

Therefore, the handling of the mutated townspeople can only be planned in the long term.

"But what exactly is this curse?" Veronica asked, voicing her deepest question.

"A curse is a silent corruption that erodes both the body and the mind. Just look at the appearance of those who have just been resurrected and their usual behavior."

"Moreover, these resurrected beings are still able to resist the curse, and as you have seen, they still have a conscience."

"As for those that cannot be resisted, you can refer to those mutated, twisted monsters."

"But there's no need to worry too much. The source of the curse is under strict control by the gods. As long as you don't interfere with the gods, the curse won't erupt."

"Finally, all we need is for you to declare to the outside world that our people are also your townspeople, only they are more cursed."

Hyacinth explained a lot in one go. After all, they would be spending a lot of time together in the future, and giving a vague answer was much better than letting Veronica investigate on her own.

After a moment's thought, Veronica accepted this view and agreed to Shen Yuan's request.

Seeing a group of people observing the man's phase for a long time, even the half-carrier couldn't resist joining in.

"No way, what kind of stupid mission is this? Are you here to be a model?" Quan Xianban, standing next to the muscular man, complained.

"This is part of the storyline. It looks like a new main city is about to open, and it seems like we won't need to keep using our mimicry skill all the time anymore," the Phase Man explained.

"Isn't the mimicry skill a bug? I can't seem to turn it off?"

"It's probably not a bug; it seems to be forced to be on to progress through the story."

"Okay, okay, the plot is so confusing, and it's ruining my enjoyment of the battles," Quanxianbangua sighed.

On the other hand, after dealing with Veronica's matter and finding new identities for the players, it was time for Shen Yuan to deal with the Ice Adventure Team's affairs.

The Frost Adventurers, seeing that Veronica had finished her conversation, also came over.

"Hyacinth, what do you think about us joining...?" Sasha, who was in charge, asked.

"sure."

"So, what kind of work do we have?"

"no."

"So what do we need to do?"

"unnecessary."

……

After a pointless conversation, both sides were exhausted.

After saying goodbye to Hyacinth, the thief approached Sasha and asked, "Was she just fooling us?"

"I don't know." Sasha shook her head and continued, "Maybe they really don't have much to do, and those resurrected ones are just wandering around everywhere."

Then, Sasha saw two players fencing and immediately blushed.

"This curse is terrifying," the warrior muttered, looking at the abstract players.

------

And so, the town of Hamlet, devastated by the catastrophe, began to slowly recover.

The townspeople, under Veronica's leadership, began rebuilding Hamlet, but the top officials had all perished in the previous catastrophe.

Therefore, the reconstruction progress was quite slow at first, but after Veronica reorganized the local officials, the reconstruction of the town accelerated again.

However, after the first few days, the townspeople's food changed from bread to mushroom soup.

After all, the existence of the evil god didn't come from a gust of wind. Although the townspeople produced a lot of emotional energy, they also ate a lot of bread.

Since drinking mushroom soup is the same, I might as well skip the bread.

It's worth mentioning that Veronica did not dispel the protective magic circle around Hamlet Town.

After all, if the magic circle were dispelled too early, the townspeople might have to leave this troublesome place with their families.

But with the magic circle blocking their way, the townspeople were able to stay peacefully in Hamlet Town and participate in the reconstruction.

To reassure people, Veronica even staged a performance.

She bombarded the city's defensive magic with a barrage of holy light effects, then feigned exhaustion and announced to the residents:

The city's defensive magic cannot be destroyed by force; it can only be deactivated automatically once the magic power is exhausted.

The townspeople, not understanding these things, could only listen to Veronica and obediently work.

Although many townspeople harbored wicked intentions during the reconstruction, the Goblin Guard suppressed them, and Hamlet Town did not experience any major chaos.

Moreover, during this period, as an intermediary and translator, the Traveling Frog's status rose accordingly, and she even obtained a minor official position in Hamlet Town.

However, after the events in Hamlet Town ended, players entered a period of downtime.

Although in order to retain players and improve their image, Shen Yuan introduced daily tasks to ask players to help rebuild Hamlet Town.

However, due to the relatively small rewards, veteran players didn't seem to be satisfied, and a significant number of them went back to grinding monsters in the dungeon.

Only a few new players stayed in Hamlet Town to participate in the reconstruction, but surprisingly, the townspeople treated the players quite well.

Despite Veronica's support, the townspeople did not show any aversion to the players' appearance or their aura of power.

It's as if they are the same kind of people.

Furthermore, the players' selfless acts of assistance have earned them a great deal of goodwill.

Of course, the players' usual abstract behavior also aroused the resentment of many townspeople, especially the female townspeople who found that their swords had been stolen.

Therefore, players' reputation in Hamlet Town is probably mixed.

However, most players don't care about these things.

As for the Frost Adventure Team, they've mostly been hanging out with the players in the dungeons lately.

The long period of time spent together has allowed the Frost Adventure Team and the players to become quite familiar with each other.

Although the Frost Adventure Team attempted to extract information from this, they gained nothing due to Shen Yuan's language filter.

As for the hyacinth, the mouse was running back and forth during this time.

During the day, they go to "work" on the surface, and at night they return to the evil god's headquarters to rest.

Moreover, the teleportation array makes commuting very convenient for the mice.
