"You, you, what are you?!"

Caught in Duanmu Huai's hand, the Nine Gates Patriarch could no longer calm down. He stared at Duanmu Huai in fear, as if he could not understand what kind of existence was in front of him. In other words, in his brain, he could not process the information "Why did a guy wearing sci-fi armor suddenly appear in his home?"

However, Duanmu Huai was not interested in this at all. He just stared at the Nine Gates Patriarch and asked.

"Answer my question, old man, what do you want to do? Why do you want to infect humans with Shoggoths? Answer me! What is your final plan?!"

"Plan? Plan? Plan?!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the Nine Gates Patriarch seemed to come back to his senses. He stared at Duanmu Huai and grinned.

"There is no plan! All this is just a performance dedicated to it! You, me, and everyone in this city are just actors on the stage! We are all actors! No exceptions!"

"I've had enough of your nonsense."

Duanmu Huai was too lazy to listen to this idiot's nonsense. He raised his left hand and pointed it at the Nine Gates Patriarch, intending to scan it. He could get the answer directly from the shadow, so why waste time on the main body?

However, even so, the Nine Gates Patriarch's struggle did not stop. Although his body was tightly grasped by Duanmu Huai, he still shook his head back and forth desperately, as if he wanted to shake his head off his body. At the same time, his screams did not stop.

"Did you hear it? I heard it! The music and cheers at the end of that scene! Cheers! Cheers! Did you see it? The light from the yellow seal..."

"!?"

Hearing the words of the Nine Gates Patriarch, Duanmu Huai was immediately shocked, and then he threw the Nine Gates Patriarch out as if it was hot. The latter flew out like a tattered rag doll, hit the bookcase, and then collapsed to the ground. His limbs and spine were smashed to pieces by the huge impact, but even so, the Nine Gates Patriarch still raised his head, staring at Duanmu Huai with his crazy eyes.

"Did you see it? The Yellow Seal is here, it has seen you! And you will become its actor! Just like me! This drama is not over yet! Everything is going on, for the advent of the great nameless king............!"

Duanmu Huai didn't let it continue, he just raised his foot and stepped on the pathetic, twisted figure, stepping it deep into the ruins of the bookcase. The screams of the Nine Gates Patriarch also stopped abruptly, and soon the whole room returned to its original silence again.

But it was not so quiet.

Duanmu Huai heard the melodious singing coming from behind him on the wind.

"I dance in a bright garden, surrounded by vines, flowers and weeds! The youngest son is lost, the second son is dead, and the eldest son is looking for power! I dance where the flames fall, and the unknown king is coming, bringing what we think we need, taking away the common ways of the world---!"

"Get lost!"

Duanmu Huai roared, and with him as the center, shadows roared in all directions like a tide, accompanied by the roar of thousands of roars, and the song was completely covered by the roaring sound waves and disappeared.

"Fuck............!"

Looking at the Nine Gates Patriarch who had merged with the bookcase fragments, Duanmu Huai gritted his teeth. Of course, he was not interested in this bloody corpse, but saw the book with a yellow cover that looked like a script held in the arms of the Nine Gates Patriarch!

Duanmu Huai knew what it was.

The King of Yellow Clothes!

If you want to rank the most difficult Old Days outside the Outer Gods, then the King of Yellow Clothes must be in the top three. Strictly speaking, the Yellow King is not stronger than other Outer Gods, but the problem is that the damn thing is an information hazard!

In the game, the Yellow King's hazard is that once someone has read, watched, or even heard the "Yellow King" script, a DEBUFF called "The Gaze of the Nameless Lord" will appear on the player. It will slightly weaken the player's attributes, and will occasionally pull the player into a dungeon-like environment (including but not limited to PK, dungeons, gathering, and even tasks), and the player will experience a broken adventure in that dungeon.

The entire dungeon is fragmented, it can be said that there is no cause and effect, and it is not coherent at all. No player can experience the entire dungeon plot smoothly at one time, and according to the players who have read this script, the content of this script is a palace drama, and its content itself is also fragmented and quite complicated. The general meaning is that the palace queen is about to be born, and a series of palace conspiracies are unfolding around all this, but in the end, the existence of the self-proclaimed Yellow King descends here and seizes the queen's throne and the country.

At that time, this task made many players very angry. The reason was very simple. The triggering of the Yellow King task was a kind of information pollution. You didn't even need to find any props. As long as you sent a message to someone in the game and mentioned "Yellow King", the other party would automatically be infected with this DEBUFF.

The last thing lacking in the game was people who wanted to have fun, so many people inexplicably received messages from their friends, and then inexplicably fell into the trap, and then began a miserable life tortured by the Yellow King.

Especially think about it, when you are in a dungeon and fighting a boss, at the most critical moment, the scene suddenly changes and you are transferred to a palace drama. The player will feel like vomiting blood and killing people. And there is no way to get out after entering, even if you force quit the game. Unless you finish this plot, you can only stay in it.

Just thinking about this scene is enough to make people crazy.

So many players are almost crazy outside the game.

And holding the idea of ​​"I can't be the only one suffering", many players immediately began to spread the information pollution of "The King in Yellow", resulting in all game players having to suspend their actions, especially those big guilds, which have put their plans and strategies on hold. After all, if you participate in a guild war and are suddenly pulled into a fantasy, it would be fine if it is just an interlude of walking through the scene, but if it is an interlude that lasts for several hours, you can only be angry to death.

Duanmu Huai and other workers were naturally affected. After all, customers don't care about the King in Yellow or not, they just want the result. Therefore, many players, including Duanmu Huai, could only bite the bullet and spend more time than before to play the single.

Players have also protested to the game company, but in response to the players' protest, the game company still maintained their style of "play if you want to play, get out if you don't", that is, pretending to be dead and not saying anything. So in desperation, the players had to rack their brains to complete this task. After all, since this is a task, there must be a way to complete it.

Otherwise, the players will really go to smash the game company.

As for how to do it... Duanmu Huai is not very clear. He only remembers that one day when he was browsing the Internet, he suddenly saw someone saying that the King in Yellow was solved and the DEBUFF disappeared. Duanmu Huai went online and saw that it was indeed the case. As for how this was solved, the whistleblower said it was also vague. He only said that someone found the King in Yellow who was imprisoned and sealed on a planet based on the clues in the drama, and then directly PKed with it offline and killed the opponent.

And the DEBUFFs that have troubled countless players for a long time also disappeared.

Whether the Yellow King is powerful or not is not mentioned for now, but for Duanmu Huai, the most terrifying thing about it is information pollution. As long as you hear the name of the Yellow King or the Yellow Seal, you will be polluted, which is much more difficult.

Moreover, the shadow part of Duanmu Huai's Old One ability is about information, so the information pollution of the Yellow King will restrain him.

After all, think about it carefully, if you copy a game like "Yanji O Pregnancy" from the hard drive to play well, it turns out that there is a virus in it?

Then you will be doomed if you open it?

No wonder Duanmu Huai exploded after scanning the director's copy before—it turned out to be information polluted after a long time!

"Damn..."

Duanmu Huai frowned, complained in a low voice, then walked to the side of the rotten corpse, picked up the script that he was holding tightly in his arms, and the four words "Yellow King" were clearly visible on the cover.

As Duanmu Huai looked at the script, the singing around him seemed to be coming back again, but it was soon dispersed by the roaring waves. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai was also an Old One, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with this information pollution.

The whole script was not long. Duanmu Huai went through it briefly. In short, it was a court conspiracy drama of a country. The queen believed that a church in the country that believed in the King in Yellow was trying to steal power from her, and even her children believed the nonsense of that church.

Then at the banquet, a man wearing a mask and a yellow robe appeared and announced that he would take over the city. The queen imprisoned, whipped, and then killed him.

However, just after that, the army of the dead came outside the city wall, they captured the city, and the King in Yellow also appeared and took over the country.

It was that simple.

A fragmented, crazy drama story that didn't seem to be anything special.

"It's really troublesome."

Looking at the vague descriptions and script lines, Duanmu Huai frowned. He couldn't even discuss this with others. No matter the lines, content, or even a sentence, it might make the other party feel the information pollution and be targeted by the Yellow King.

With the power Duanmu Huai currently has, he obviously doesn't have time to find the planet where the Yellow King is sealed.

So, what should be done to deal with this thorny problem?
