Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 705 - 365_2

Including the Sophias, the Heckmedeas, the Tars, and the Einsteins.

This year is the last for the Einstein family to act as the controllers.

Once the 13th month passes, after the 14th month, the angels of the Dawn Empire will arrive, compelling the current City Owner to relinquish all powers in hand.

This is the phenomenon of shifting fortunes that can be seen everywhere in the Dawn Empire.

However, to prevent any family in power from oppressing other families to the point of extinction, the Emperor of Dawn specifically established oversight—the Dawn Guards. All major actions against other families must obtain consent from the Dawn Guards.

Otherwise, that would be tantamount to harboring rebellious intent!

Yet, aside from pure military oppression, other forms of suppression are allowed, such as the seizure of resources and talent recruitment. But every family has hundreds, if not thousands of years of accumulation. Who would fear a decade of suppression?

At worst, when I come into power, I can just deal with you then.

This is the reason why, even with huge contradictions and anger between many of the large families in the Dawn Empire, all remains peaceful.

"That person has left, Lord Melissa," the pigeon said.

"Hmm, don’t bother me with visitors anymore. Before the angel of the Dawn Empire arrives next month, the Sophia family will close its doors and see no one," Melissa said indifferently.

"Yes," the pigeon cooed twice, flying away from the place.

"Mother, you don’t have to do this for me—"

"It’s not just for you,"

Melissa smiled and said, "Every time this season comes around, a bunch of riff-raff always pops up. Closing our doors is also for the sake of our family. Once the angel arrives and all is settled, then you, Ya’er, can announce your return openly and rightfully."

Liya hesitated, then said, "I feel like the Heckmedea family won’t just give up."

After all, she had turned their ’Kirin’ into a vegetative state.

If they don’t do something, once the City Owner of Dusk City is replaced, they will have no chance whatsoever.

By then, the Sophia family could even forcibly investigate what happened during her pregnancy.

How could a family with such strong defenses be infiltrated, and the Mutant Factor spread?

And why was the majority of it directed towards her?

Though Liya no longer cared much about these issues, they occasionally pricked at her like thorns.

There was definitely someone orchestrating that event from behind the scenes.

Liya looked up.

Suddenly, the sky darkened considerably.

The overcast sky was like the clouds before a storm, turning the world into a shade of pitch black; yet from within this darkness, a hint of blue was discernible.

...

In the depths of an ancient castle.

Around a round table, a group of elders was discussing something.

"Melissa refused to see me, and she has also sealed the entrance to their family residence. She’s likely waiting for the angel next month," one of them said.

"We cannot let the Sophias take control, otherwise, they will surely investigate that incident. Sooner or later, they will find out what we are up to! The opening of the You Shadow world is imminent. We cannot let anyone interfere! This concerns the legacy of our Heckmedea family for generations to come."

"It’s all your fault to begin with—abandoning your post back then—"

"Is now the time to discuss that matter?"

"Such a pity about Hercules, still not awake to this day. That sinister woman Liya, to treat her husband in such a way, is he not just a Variant with a contaminated bloodline? Couldn’t she just bear a pure-blooded one after he’s gone?"

"There’s nothing more to say. Whether it’s the Sophias or Liya, once the You Shadow world opens, they will all become stepping stones for our family to reach the pinnacle."

"Then, the plan should commence. Those Otherworld Travelers, how many have you recruited?"

"Not many, about a hundred or so."

"Let’s start with them. They seem to have their own special channels of communication. Provide them with Sublimation pathways and resources, let them gather intelligence for us."

"Elders, something is happening outside!" a young man pushed open the door, shouting into the interior.

"What has happened?"

The group of elders walked out, looking up at the gray sky and the fog encircling the city, their faces showing bewilderment.

What is this?

Between gaps in the fog, it seemed they could see an expanse of blue ocean, and on it, a steel behemoth sailing—above it, a flag with stars and stripes fluttered.

...

Luo Xi had a smooth time capturing the players’ movements.

Before long, nearly a hundred ships successively passed through the ocean, arriving near the Red Flame Mountain Range.

Florecia transformed into her true form as a Red Dragon and, one by one, blew them all into the territory of Dawn City.

"Fuck, who the hell is messing with us?"

"Doesn’t that red dragon look somewhat familiar?"

"A Red Dragon of the Monarch tier, isn’t that the mount of Black Death God?"

"It seems so, that dragon’s scales on its belly are also black!"

"No, why isn’t there any town within the scope of this Divine Tree?"

—"Everyone, welcome to my world."

A deep voice resounded in the ears of all the players.

"I am Luo Xi, also known as the Black Death God you’re all familiar with. I am sure you are very interested in this city. Congratulations, you will become the first residents of this city."

"Of course, you can choose to leave. I don’t insist on anything, but once you leave, don’t expect to ever come back."

"The Black Death God!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn’t it said that he had died?"

The person beside was baffled, "He just disappeared from the internet for half a month, how did that get related to being dead?"

"Misinformation spread, I guess."

"This is the city of the Black Death God? Such a huge Divine Tree, this must be enough to provide him with Tier Five strength, right?"

"Should be."

"As expected of the Black Death God, he has claimed such a large territory in the Elf Kingdom without us being aware. But if he can do it, I think I can too, I want to give it a try." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Me too, there’s nothing like the joy of exploring on your own."

"I, on the other hand, want to stay here. A new city with no people, if it develops well, there’s definitely a place for me, right? Getting some prime real estate here, and in the future, it could sell for a lot of money!"

Many chose to leave, entering the interior of the Emerald Forest.

About a quarter remained behind.

Luo Xi didn’t stop those players who wanted to leave.

A melon forced off its vine is not sweet; he needed players who could help build the town, not troublemakers.

"Need to discuss with Master Jiujian and Director Jiao Qian, get them to send over a few people capable of management to help."

Luo Xi himself was not very good at management, nor was he willing to bother too much.

If not for Ulysses’ constant care, Belgri Town would have collapsed long ago.

"Tweet tweet."

A grey bird landed on Luo Xi’s shoulder, pecking at his face before flying into Feya’s arms.

Feya asked curiously from the side, "Mr. Luo Xi, since when did Huihui become so close to you?"

"Because... of a contract."

After thinking it over, Luo Xi decided to reveal the reason.

Now that the Little Fox Lady was his companion, there was no need to deceive her.

Luo Xi thought that Feya might get angry.

But Feya just stroked Huihui’s head with a smile as bright as ever.

She even had thoughts of offering herself to Mr. Luo Xi.

Huihui having an owner like Mr. Luo Xi was not bad at all; she too, wanted to call Mr. Luo Xi her master.

With this thought, Feya felt a stir in her heart and said, "Mr. Luo Xi, wait a moment, I’ll change my clothes."

Feya entered a temporarily built wooden hut.

Aina muttered as she watched the door of the hut, "That fox spirit is definitely thinking of something to seduce brother."

Wei’er did not express any opinion.

A few minutes later, a six-tailed elf girl with fox ears, wearing a maid outfit, tiptoed out of the hut, bending slightly towards Luo Xi, her voice sweet and shy:

"Master... hello."

Luo Xi: "!"

[Ding! Your Happiness Level +200]

Wei’er and Aina immediately felt as if facing a formidable enemy.

So, there was such a play!

The interview is over, but the physical examination will be soon, on the 4th, so I’ll still have to slack on the updates for a few days.
