Chapter 34: What is the GM thinking?

"Are you asking me to remind my father that the entire Tana City is very likely to encounter a catastrophe? Especially those people in the City Hall?" Saina lowered her head, feeling somewhat dazed; she did not understand why the Lord of Calamity would actually want her to remind her father.

Wouldn't this deity feel joy upon seeing disaster?

Hearing Saina's confusion, Chen Zhi feigned a serious tone and said, "My plan cannot be disrupted."

While observing Chen Ai, he had already discovered the witch's intentions; she held a map in her hand, and although Chen Ai could not understand it, Chen Zhi could.

This witch had performed sacrifices in various places throughout the city; if one were to draw a hexagram, the Municipal Hall would be exactly in the center.

Not to mention that the witch had also made markings on that map, with the word "die" written at the center of the map.

He had to give a reminder; if he weren't under the Municipal Hall, and if he weren't unable to change his location, he might have wanted to flee himself.

"I will strictly follow your holy will."

Very good, this time Saina did not have so many questions, and Saina was indeed a very good Believer; although she could not do manual labor, she could provide a certain amount of help in terms of money and connections.

Saina was a smart person; after climbing out of the Sewers, she took out perfume and sprayed it, then walked straight to the Municipal Hall.

Her father was currently there discussing election issues with others; the position of Governor was a very important one in Tana City, but Mr. Jones was participating in such an election for the first time, and many procedures needed to be confirmed.

He already confidently believed that this election belonged to him, because his few competitors were simply not qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as him.

The cooperation with the Wealth Church had given him high prestige in Tana City, and on top of that, a while ago, two mistresses had actually died in his competitor's home.

He had made every effort to exploit this matter; the newspaper reports made his image even more positive, which instead made his opponent look like a good-for-nothing drunkard.

"Mr. Jones, your daughter is looking for you outside." The secretary of the City Hall gently pushed open the office door, "She seems to have something very urgent to communicate with you."

"Saina?" Mr. Jones frowned; he did not like this daughter, just as he did not like her mother.

However, this daughter rarely came to disturb him; since she had come, there must be something she needed his help with.

Sighing, he nodded, and soon Saina was led in.

"Father, I heard that the witch's figure has appeared in the Factory District again." Saina did not say anything else to cover up her purpose, "I always feel that Tana City is not very safe."

"I know that sacrifices have also appeared at your Farm; I have already said that you don't need to worry too much." Mr. Jones did not like his eldest daughter's inability to keep her composure, "I will make it clear to those Gold Ties and have them return your serfs."

"That matter is not urgent; the wheat at the Nongzhuang has already been harvested, you don't need to worry." Saina shook her head, "I am just worried about you, and think you should move to a safer place to work."

Mr. Jones was stunned for a moment, then said: "What you say also makes sense, but there are guards patrolling nearby, and people from the Five Great Churches have come over..."

"It is precisely because the people from the Five Great Churches are here that I feel..." Saina simply stopped pretending and said straightforwardly, "This witch is circling Tana City performing Rituals; I think she must have some purpose. With the election approaching, it is hard to say whether she was brought here by your opponent."

It must be said that what Saina said was quite reasonable; this witch kept performing Rituals around Tana City, and she was also very persistent in performing them near the Theater across the river from the Municipal Hall.

It is hard to say whether she has ulterior motives.

"You did well; regardless of what her actual thoughts are, at least we must avoid potential problems." Mr. Jones looked at his willful daughter squarely for the first time, "I will have the people here accompany me to Rose Manor, and give the others a few days of vacation; this can also disrupt some of the opponent's little plans."

Very good, her father supported her idea; Saina breathed a sigh of relief. She had considered for quite a while how to communicate with her father, and she had not expected that a method she had never used before would actually be effective.

Inside the Sewers, Chen Zhi, who had been observing for quite a while, quickly shifted his gaze; without a doubt, that witch had still escaped.

That giant-like Awakened did well, ensuring that the people in the Factory District would not be sacrificed on a large scale, but because the commotion was too great, the witch escaped.

Since this witch had already prepared this warehouse, how could she not have prepared an escape route?

Watching these people come up empty-handed, Chen Zhi might as well turn back and watch those little players finish cleaning the Sewers.

"Think on the bright side, at least we get a full day's wages for half a day's work." A player holding a shovel and cleaning the Sewers said indifferently, "This way, after we finish five days of work, we will have quite a bit of capital when we log in."

"But the game's closed beta is almost over too. By the time we log in, this game will only have three days of closed beta time left, oh, and it might need a day for updates." Another player said with a bitter face, "Hurry up and let those players who rest during the day log in; I've really had enough of the smell here. It's a good thing I can log off soon."

"Actually, you could also log off now." A player nearby reminded him, "It's just that you might get a little less pay."

"No, no, the officials must have a purpose in doing this kind of test, for example, letting us see if there are any problems with the textures in the Sewers, or letting us test the sense of smell or something." That player waved his hand, "It is my honor to conduct tests for such an epoch-making game."

As the few were talking, the second batch of relief players finally arrived at the Sewers.

Seeing the people who came to take over, those players who had been sweeping the Sewers all afternoon immediately beamed with joy, excitedly handing the cleaning tools in their hands to their good brothers one by one.

"We're actually sweeping? This isn't playing a game, it's clearly doing manual labor." Li You complained as he picked up the shovel, "If we keep working like this, when will we be able to awaken?"

"Who knows what the GM is thinking." The player handing over the shift also had a look of annoyance, "I don't know if there is any plot in the Sewers either. We, a group of people who honestly push tasks, can't always..."

"Always do manual labor?" Li You raised his head and saw that good brother looking excitedly into the distance.

"Damn, there really is a plot!" He turned his head abruptly and saw the scene he had been looking forward to.
