Due to Mo Yang’s sudden outbreak, Dong Ge, who was once full of arrogance, and the four male players he brought with him instantly became submissive.
The man who had been slapped dozens of times by Mo Yang, with his face swollen and blood flowing from his mouth and nose, quietly covered his face, even though his lowered eyes were filled with anger and malice. But at this moment, he didn’t dare to say a word.
Mo Yang didn’t bother with him. After Wan Mei praised the guy with the small red mole on his butt cheeks, Mo Yang’s mood soared. He didn’t even need to drink the “Otaku Happy Water” he had prepared. He walked to the principal’s office with a mysterious smile and excitement.
Rose looked at the appearance of the two big shots in front of her and deeply felt that she hadn’t cultivated enough. This was what it truly meant to be calm in the face of praise and shame and to strike back without hesitation!
Then everyone in the principal’s office started rummaging through things in a very impolite manner. This activity seemed to be Captain Song’s forte. Although they were all rummaging, when others hadn’t found anything significant, Captain Song had already skillfully found three different clues hidden among the pages of books, the backside of cabinets, and even behind a painting, along with an old, slightly yellowed photograph.
Zhou Api admired, “Brother, Song, you’re amazing! You truly have the keenness of a great detective!”
Mo Yang curled his lips. This was the most annoying old dog. When it came to finding things, he was undoubtedly a professional. He must have searched hundreds of households, to say the least.
Song Kefeng modestly smiled, “It’s nothing, just got used to it.”
Then everyone gathered together to look at the long photograph. Although Dong Ge and a few others wanted to squeeze in and take a look, they restrained themselves when they saw the pig-headed face of someone.
Even if they were eager to provoke, they couldn’t treat their own lives lightly! So no matter how much Goris tried to provoke them, they held themselves back.
“This girl with chestnut-colored long curls should be Goris, right?” Zhou Luoluo pointed to the center of the photo. The little girl with chestnut curls was wearing a very gorgeous and beautiful dress, like the center of attention among everyone. She was hugging a young boy with black curly hair next to her, both of them smiling brightly.
Mo Yang took a closer look at the boy’s appearance and compared it with the npc Goley he saw last night, it was really hard to see them as the same person.
However, this photo revealed a lot, such as their social status, as well as hidden malice.
“Tsk, I don’t know why, but I feel uncomfortable looking at this photo,” Rose examined the photo carefully, and suddenly said, “Jealousy!”
“What?”
“I see jealousy in the eyes of others. They envy this girl and her brother,” Rose said with certainty. “They envy how good-looking and wealthy the siblings are.”
Other big shots in the room looked at the photo seriously, but they couldn’t see anything wrong. Weren’t they all good-looking and smiling in the photo?
Mo Yang nodded, “Yes. They envy these two siblings. Look at the clothes they’re wearing. Although the styles are similar, the materials are vastly different. Both of them have emeralds embellished on their school uniforms, but Goris and her brother’s emeralds are genuine and invaluable, while the emeralds on other students’ collars are of inferior quality.”
“I heard from a hotel employee before that Goris’ family is probably the richest in town.”
“So what?” Zhou Api frowned. “Could it be that they want to harm them just because they’re wealthy? That would be insane.”
As soon as Zhou Api finished speaking, he saw everyone in the room staring at him, with expressions that said, ‘You’re such a jinx.’
Fatty Zhou paused for a moment and forced a smile, “It can’t really be like that, right?”
Mo Yang said pensively, “It is said that Goris and her brother’s house was burned down in a big fire. Out of the four family members, only Golei survived, but he went mad after that.”
Fatty Zhou, “Uh, how come I didn’t know about this? Besides, even if their house burned down, it doesn’t mean the townspeople did it, right? The people in this town shouldn’t be so insane.”
After Fatty Zhou spoke, he suddenly felt that the whole principal’s office became much colder. He inexplicably thought of himself selling information, only to be betrayed and then chased by the police, the underworld, and celebrities like a rat in the streets. He also remembered the extremely harsh comments and cyberbullying he received on the internet for selling information. He suddenly felt very bad, and his breathing became rapid.
It was like a signal, and the others in the room also thought of things they didn’t want to remember. Even though they tried to control themselves from feeling angry, resentful, or sad, emotions were the most challenging to control.
Soon, a female player began to cry loudly, lamenting how miserable she was and how terrible her real life was. Other players who didn’t cry were also gasping for breath as if they were about to explode at any moment.

Initially, his father was struggling, but when he saw Mo Yang, his father showed a worried yet relieved smile, which caused him to fall directly.
Mo Yang used all his restraint at that time and immediately turned and ran. He knew that if he continued to stay on the rooftop, the two people he discovered would undoubtedly try their best to make him a member of the “suicide.”
But that deep-seated anger kept him awake at night. He roared, vented, and grieved in his mansion like a madman for three days, then suppressed all emotions, took a gun, and went to the company.
Blood debt must be repaid in blood.
Mo Yang felt as if he had returned to the day he went to the company with a gun. He felt extreme calmness. Then he took out the gun from his backpack, but it wasn’t a gun, it was the Tang knife. Mo Yang frowned. Then he decided to use the knife. He drew it out of his backpack and looked at the two company executives still smiling at him. He swung the knife mercilessly.
CLANG!
Song Kefeng used his own dagger to block the long knife. His eyes were extremely sharp. What stood before him now was the most sinister and cunning drug lord he had encountered during his special forces days. No matter what, he must catch him, and if necessary, kill him!
In a few short minutes, the players in the principal’s office began to turn against each other, killing each other.
Goris sat on the elegant chandelier, her crimson eyes full of satisfaction.
[Kill, kill! Die, everyone. This world is dirty and evil. There’s no need for nostalgia. Die!]
Seeing that the players were about to annihilate each other, Goris suddenly noticed someone who didn’t show any expression looking at them.
Goris widened her eyes, as if she had just seen this person. She floated over, unbelieving.
[Impossible, why aren’t you affected? Don’t you feel angry, sad, or unfair about things in your heart?!]
Goris didn’t wait for Wan Mei’s response, as she knew regular people couldn’t see or hear her. But in the next second, she heard a cold voice.
“Sorry. From childhood to now, everything has been under my control. Everything has been as I anticipated. Why should I have any emotions? Is boredom considered an emotion?”
He suddenly smiled, “But there is someone who always deviates from the norm. However, I quite like it.”
Goris: ????
Is your life filled with such joy and everything goes smoothly? This is impossible!! No one can live this carefreely!!
Then, Goris was drenched in “Otaku Happy Water” from head to toe. She covered her face and screamed, unable to avoid thinking of the happy scene when she and her brother, parents, and other family members went on an outing together.
The atmosphere in the room changed.
The demon lord, Wan Mei, who had poured cola over the little girl’s face, still had no expression on his face, as if saying: ‘You see, everything is as I anticipated. What kind of emotions can I have? Does boredom count?’
He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth as he spoke: “If I were to dissect you, I wonder what I’d find? I’m looking forward to it.”
Goris: ……..
She trembled inexplicably. She almost didn’t hesitate and turned around to run. Angry while running. She thought, how could there be such a detestable and terrifying person in the world?! She would rather go find other people in the town to play with!
Mo Yang was the first to recover. He smelled the cola in the air and said, “You spilled the Otaku Happy Water?”
Wan Mei looked at him, his eyes somewhat red, he approached to pour the remaining Happy Water into Mo Yang’s mouth, retracting his hand when Mo Yang choked.
“I gave the cola to Goris. She should have left by now.”
Mo Yang: “…You’re amazing.”
The others also quickly regained their composure, but without the nourishment of the Otaku Happy Water, their expressions still didn’t look good. Mo Yang looked at them and kindly reminded, “In Happy Town, there’s no sadness. Those who are sad will be unfortunate. I think you should cheer up as soon as possible.”
As a result, Zhou Api voiced what everyone was thinking, “But I really can’t be happy right now!”
Mo Yang took out the “Otaku Happy Water” from his backpack.
“You only have one bottle left, right?”
Zhou Api exclaimed and quickly took out a cola from his backpack.
Rose, Zhou Luoluo, and even Song Kefeng followed suit. After drinking the Happy Water, their moods indeed became much happier.
But the players beside them, including Dong Ge, Hu Ge, and others, looked at the cola, Fanta, Sprite, and other carbonated drinks in their hands and felt like they were playing a different game.
“Wait, isn’t it not allowed to bring food into the game?” the more sensitive female player, Chu Xiuli, couldn’t help but ask.
Zhou Luoluo looked at her sympathetically, “Sister, you still haven’t figured out the sinister nature of the Dream World? Before I enter the game, I’ll spend half a day carefully browsing the virtual mall. Unless I check each item one by one, I won’t be at ease.”
“This Otaku Happy Water is what I found in the second-to-last slot of the food card. One bottle costs 500 Dream Coins, it’s ridiculously expensive.”
Zhou Luoluo added, “I’ve never drunk such an expensive Fanta before.”
The other players were all dumbfounded, but at this moment, everyone’s minds were quite clear. They couldn’t do anything as daring as forcefully robbing others.
In the end, it was Chu Xiuli who blushed and said to Zhou Luoluo, “Um, sister, I’ll transfer 100 Dream Coins to you. Can you let me have a few sips of water?” If she didn’t drink, she felt that she couldn’t get over it. She was afraid that she might fall asleep tonight and never wake up.
Zhou Luoluo was generous and said, “Sure.” After all, the universal currency in this game world was Dream Coins. Besides, the food in the town was quite cheap, like a large cream cake that cost only 5 Dream Coins and a bottle of juice for 1 Dream Coin. Indeed, Dream World’s virtual mall was the most deceptive.
Then, Chu Xiuli transferred 100 Dream Coins to Zhou Luoluo and drank about one-fifth of the Fanta Happy Water. After drinking it, she indeed felt much better, and her worries eased. However, she couldn’t help but worry about what to do when she encountered Goris later. She didn’t have this kind of Otaku Happy Water.
“Cough, brother, do you have any spare Happy Water on you? I’ll pay 500 Dream Coins for a bottle, okay?” It was Hu Ge who spoke, and he was looking at Zhou Api.
Among Mo Yang’s group, Zhou Api seemed to be the most approachable. However, although Zhou Api had bought five bottles of Otaku Happy Water, he still felt it might not be enough. Who knew when they would leave the town? If it took another five days, his own Happy Water wouldn’t be enough.
“Brother, it’s not that I’m not giving you face, but I only bought three bottles of Happy Water myself. If I drink one bottle a day, I feel like I won’t have enough for myself. I’m really sorry,” Zhou Api replied.
Hu Ge furrowed his brow. This answer was within his expectations, but it also made him feel disappointed.
At this moment, Wan Mei took out his second bottle of Otaku Happy Water and placed it on the principal’s desk.
“1000 coins for a bottle. You guys can pool your resources and each have a few sips.”
Hu Ge and Chu Xiuli never expected the person who contributed the Happy Water to be the one they least expected. Although they all wanted to bite the bullet and buy a bottle each, how could they manage so much?
They pooled the remaining Dream Coins to pay 1000 coins to Wan Mei and then divided the bottle of cola.
Their moods indeed recovered.
Then they could continue discussing the previous topic.
“So, Goris’s family tragedy should be related to the town’s residents. They might not be the direct arsonists, but I believe they weren’t actively trying to put out the fire and save people either. Otherwise, Goris’s family wouldn’t have lost three members and only Golei survived the fire.”
Mo Yang held up the other three diary slips in his hand, “This also confirms it.”
[Goris’s family is really wealthy. Dad said we all work for Goris’s family’s company. I wonder when our family will become as rich as them? Do we have to wait until Goris’s family disappears from the town?]
[Today, I overheard Dad and several uncles talking. It seems the factory has encountered some accounting issues, and Goris’s dad has started an investigation. They looked very anxious. Since I’m good friends with Goris, should I go help plead with Dad and the others?]
[Why is Goris so beautiful, wealthy, and has such a handsome and gentle brother? Why can’t I compare to Goris in any aspect? Why does my brother, even though I have one, not care about me or protect me and always bully me?! I want Goris’s brother. I want a lot of money. I want Goris to have nothing. This way, I won’t be the most miserable one.]
“Tsk tsk, the jealousy of a child is truly terrifying,” Rose looked at the three notes and said, “Jealousy to the point of wanting someone to disappear. Now, Goris has indeed disappeared, but are they happy now?”
Mo Yang sighed, “At this point, the answer to the second question in this game becomes evident: the truly sad and unfortunate people in Happy Town are most likely Golei and Goris. Although the other town residents constantly bear the fear of suffering and sadness, they are still a bit better off compared to Golei and Goris.”
“Let’s go to the playground next time, and then I think we can directly find Golei. When we ask him about the fire, we’ll know what exactly happened.”
At this point, Zhou Luoluo added, “So, the third question ‘dispel the panic in Happy Town and catch the villain with a smile’ is referring to capturing Goris, right? What happens after we catch Goris? Are we all going to kill her again?” Her expression showed that she disagreed with this.
Mo Yang shrugged, “I don’t know. This is not a novel I wrote, let’s take it one step at a time for now.”
Song Kefeng’s eyes lit up, “Brother Hei, you write novels?”
Mo Yang laughed, “What a joke! I like to read novels about domineering protagonists, but I’m definitely not the one writing them. I admire those who write novels, their minds are full of wild ideas, and they can concoct all sorts of stories.”
Zhou Api: …
Wan Mei chuckled.
The group walked around the playground, and there, they saw the backyard cemetery of the church and the fitness area of the hospital.
As expected, these three places were adjacent to each other, and at the center of the three buildings that Wan Mei had circled on the map, Mo Yang saw a blackened area of land that had been circled.
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
“So, could this be where Goris’s family’s home used to be?!”
No one answered, and then the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind them. Mo Yang’s group saw the townspeople approaching with forced smiles on their faces.
They were holding various objects that could be used as weapons and said with twisted smiles, “Goris said that once we kill you outsiders, the town will return to joy and tranquility.”
“So, sorry! We have no choice either!”
“Yes, we’re glad you came to Happy Town. Let’s consider this an adventure game!”
[There are currently 27 players remaining in the game. Please continue to work hard and keep your spirits high!]
Hmph, high spirits my foot!
Killing people with happy smile
