Most players were still bewildered when midnight arrived, and the forum paused at that moment too.
Yang Yi sat up in bed, feeling that something was off.
"The Eden...?"
He immediately thought of a mysterious fleet called Eden. There were very few clues about it; he had only heard of it when it was recruiting, and later it had purchased materials related to Dream Demons.
Before the merger, Yang Yi's ship had been the Nightmare, which carried a curse of haunting nightmares that made him constantly have bad dreams.
Later, during the battle involving the Shelter, he had heard of Beautiful Dream's existence, so he paid particular attention to any player ships connected with dreams.
Putting together all the intelligence he had, this ship called the Eden very likely possessed abilities related to Beautiful Dream, and its captain might be extremely powerful.
Yang Yi grew more vigilant, but he could no longer use the Astrologer's skill to Peep at the Eden's situation.
If only he had known during the previous stage. Now this skill had a range limit.
But the other ship's name had already been exposed. Once he entered the Sea of Miracles or waters with large numbers of players, he could search for it now and then. He might just find it...
The next day.
The post about the annual player election was unceremoniously deleted by an administrator, and an official announcement was released.
[...There is no editor named "Brother-in-law" within the Great Newspaper. Instead, we suffered a malicious intrusion by the Eden fleet. The threat has now been eliminated, and we will cease all cooperation with Eden from this point forward.
The Eden possesses an unknown means of intrusion that allows it to remotely control other players' actions.
If more clues become available, we will publish them
