75: Chapter 75 Followers of the Mother Goddess of Night
"Sigh... why is your class Magician?"
"I feel like you'd be better suited as an actor; your performance almost brought me to tears."
Mist welled up in the man's eyes, and he almost shed tears.
"That's right! I am Amy Seeger, I'm laying my cards on the table." Amy Seeger spread her hands.
Chen Mo was a bit confused; he didn't understand what Amy Seeger meant by what she just said.
Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Amy Seeger smiled.
She explained, "I meant that your portrayal of my student was too convincing. If you were an American, you'd probably win an Oscar."
"But it's a pity that you are Chinese. Our film festivals here often have inside dealings and target movies from other countries."
"For example, if China is portrayed as very magnificent and powerful, with 'top-tier plot and meaning,' we would absolutely not allow that film to win."
"Only by filming China as ignorant, feudal, and dilapidated can it possibly win an award!"
Amy Seeger really was a person of grand vision, stating the unspoken rules of the film industry right in front of Chen Mo.
"Wait, hold on." Chen Mo narrowed his eyes.
"You know I'm not Sam?"
"That's right. How should I address you? You must be an existence from another dimension called a Player."
"And this place... is the Thriller Game!"
The information in Amy Seeger's words was too massive, instantly giving Chen Mo goosebumps.
This was simply not something that could be said by an NPC.
"You... are also a Player?" Chen Mo lowered his voice.
"Something like that. I used to be, but now I'm just a 996 office worker slaving away for the game."
"I've been waiting here for 10 years. Finally, someone has discovered that I am Amy Seeger."
"Only in this way can I assist you in killing Vincent!"
Amy Seeger's expression suddenly turned cunning, and her excitement was written all over her face.
"10 years ago, there was once a player named Longevity Like Southern Mountain. His vigilance was too high; he never came to find me, but instead went to find the church priest."
"The final result was... the priest died, and he only killed a shadow of Vincent, receiving only an A-grade evaluation."
"However, with my help, the S-grade that you players pursue and can never reach, I think you should be able to get it!"
"This..."
Chen Mo suddenly felt like a pie had fallen from the sky, and it had even given him a huge bump on his head.
Because this pie was drawn way too big!
Before the results were in, all promises could only be met with a question mark.
"Teacher, can you describe what that person named Longevity Like Southern Mountain looked like?" Chen Mo asked.
Upon hearing this, Amy Seeger rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.
She shook her head, "Time has passed for too long, and... you know, I'm American, and you're Chinese."
"I think all you Chinese people look the same."
"Uh..."
Chen Mo's mouth twitched. Indeed, I think you Americans all look the same too!
"Do you have any other questions?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment and asked: "Teacher, why do you want to kill Vincent? You are both Magicians."
"Our philosophies are different, and the magic we use is different."
Amy Seeger suddenly raised her arms high and said excitedly: "I am a follower of the Mother Goddess of Light, like scorching flames, illuminating the earth at all times."
"And that guy Vincent was originally a follower of the Mother Goddess of Light too, but he eventually defected to the Mother Goddess of Night and fell into becoming a black wizard."
"As for the reason, it's very simple: he just wanted to surpass me and become the world's number one Magician."
"Because that way... when he does shady things, it will be more convenient, and social resources will naturally tilt toward him."
"Just like how people all over the world only remember that Mount Everest is the world's highest peak, while no one remembers the second highest."
When Amy Seeger spoke of her faith, she also injected her own personal agenda, showing a strong sense of narcissism.
"The second highest peak is K2." Chen Mo suddenly replied.
"Uh?!" Amy Seeger was a bit dazed.
She continued to ask: "What about the third highest peak?"
"Kangchenjunga." Chen Mo said again.
Amy Seeger: "..."
"Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. It's 10 PM now, there are still 5 hours left, we need to make some preparations." Amy Seeger skipped over the part where she got slapped in the face.
Chen Mo followed Amy Seeger into the inner room again.
This time, when the purple curtains were drawn back, a strange purple light swirled around the room.
118 Ocean Avenue.
The underground world, in that pitch-black darkness.
A face with a hooked nose was revealed, the face full of wrinkles, with only the whites of the eyes left in the pupils.
In front of this person was a large iron pot, and they were stirring it with a pitch-black wooden stick.
In their sharp claws, they held a lizard's tail and tossed it in.
With a "bang!", a purple mushroom cloud exploded from the iron pot.
After picking up the wooden stick and continuing to stir, the iron pot suddenly began to shake violently, as if it were about to explode on the spot.
The hooked-nose figure spread its palms, and strands of black, writhing mist shot out from its palms into the iron pot in front of it.
"Ullala, Molala~" It repeatedly chanted incantations in its mouth.
Then, the thick liquid boiling in the iron pot suddenly churned out countless bubbles.
"Glug, glug!"
A white skull emerged from the surface of the water, opened its mouth, and said.
"Why did you call me out, follower of the Mother Goddess of Night."
"Hehehe, let me show you something good; you'll definitely like it."
As it spoke, the hooked-nose figure took out a mirror from behind and displayed it in front of the skull.
A vortex suddenly appeared within that ordinary mirror.
Immediately afterward, a human face materialized.
That face was exactly Sam's face, which was also Chen Mo's face.
"I get it, you cunning fellow, hahaha!"
The hooked-nose figure also laughed loudly; the laughter of the two was incredibly jarring and very sinister.
The surface world.
The wife and children were sleeping in the bedroom, a thunderstorm was raging outside, and bean-sized raindrops were pounding on the window glass.
It washed away the dirt and also masked the scent of lavender.
Anna Catherine was sleeping separately from the children.
Having revealed the secrets hidden in their hearts to Chen Mo, their hearts were very peaceful at this moment.
At this moment, the neighbor was lying on the fence of Chen Mo's house, taking out a pair of binoculars, his gaze locked onto the second floor where Anna Catherine lived.
A streak of purple lightning cut through the sky behind him, illuminating his ugly face.
A smile full of lascivious intent appeared at the corners of his mouth.
He put down the binoculars, climbed over the fence, and stepped onto the wet lawn.
"Heh heh, that guy Sam isn't home." He licked his tongue and laughed impatiently.
"Anna Catherine, here I come!"
