At Barracks Mountain in Yuanzu City, Gu Xi, having put away the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, pretended to be a camper awakened by the distant explosions and poked his head out from the woods.
"What happened outside?"
Gu Xi pulled over a player who was watching the commotion and asked.
Gu Xi had asked exactly the right question.
Though this player clearly knew nothing, he eagerly began explaining it all to Gu Xi.
"See that? Something major has happened. Foreign enemies found out we were about to begin Genesis, so they came to sabotage it.
We usually call enemies like this Extraterrestrial Demons.
Let me tell you, this sort of thing has happened plenty of times before.
Every time Genesis is about to begin, chaos like this breaks out."
The player spoke as though he had witnessed it himself.
If Gu Xi had not just come from over there, he might have believed him.
Still, Gu Xi nodded along with him.
Even if he was pretending, he had to act like he knew nothing.
About half an hour later, the sound of vehicles driving by came from the foot of Barracks Mountain.
Though no one knew what kind of vehicles they were, the loudspeakers mounted on them completely changed the atmosphere of Yuanzu City.
"Residents of the city, please do not panic. Residents of the city, please do not panic. No accident has occurred. The earlier explosion was caused by improper use of lighting in the library and aging electrical wiring.
There has been no enemy invasion. Please remain calm.

Hearing the announcement, the player Gu Xi had stopped turned to glance at him.
"Do you believe that?"
"No."
Gu Xi shook his head firmly.
Everyone knew
