"Mr. Yang, could you provide us with keys that allow free return? For some unknown reason, the number of Wanderers and Entities in Level 0 is increasing. Our Fuse Brigade's main responsibility is rescue and assault..."
Michel said a lot.
Yang Tao showed no sign of displeasure on his face, quietly listening to the other party's words, nodding occasionally in agreement with him.
A few minutes later.
"I understand all the reasoning, and I also understand your good intentions... In principle, I also want to help you and those Wanderers."
Hearing Yang Tao say this, Michel's heart sank to the bottom. So-called agreement in principle actually meant disagreement.
"Mr. Yang..."
"Michel, I'm not worried that you will affect my world, but rather... I'm worried that you M.E.G. simply cannot bear the corresponding consequences."
"I do know a thing or two about why the Wanderers are increasing. Eric will pass the message to you when the time comes."
"You mean Observer Eric?"
Yang Tao showed a slightly surprised expression. Does Eric already have such a cool title?
"If there isn't a second person who frequently publishes level information, then it should be him."
"The isolated effect of Level 0 has no impact on me, but it does on you."
"Also, you should know that this group of Wanderers I sent over, because they haven't gone through the Backrooms screening, all sorts of monsters will pop up."
"Just like yesterday, I encountered a nasty incident in the Backrooms..."
"Human nature cannot withstand testing. I don't want the Backrooms to become a mess. Humans are already difficult enough; having to guard against their own kind..."
At this point, Yang Tao gently shook his head.
Michel's heart was also somewhat complicated upon hearing this. He had seen too many such incidents occur, because the inherent mental influence of the Backrooms amplifies the darkness within human hearts, leading to all sorts of things happening.
"Mr. Yang, even so, I still hope to save the Wanderers. All they lack is proper guidance. Furthermore, we can exploit the characteristics of certain levels to filter out those with malicious intentions... We cannot abandon those Wanderers who truly hold hope because of a small number of people."
Looking at Michel's determined eyes, Yang Tao suddenly showed a smile and said, "Since you have made up your mind, then I can help you."
"Let me explain beforehand, anyone who tries to use the keys to pass through my level, if they harbor ill will towards me, will be directly eliminated. This is a true elimination, both physically and mentally, and even I cannot reverse it. If you have decided, then I will sell the keys in the weapons shop..."
As for whether they would have any malicious thoughts towards M.E.G., that was none of Yang Tao's business. After all, it was their choice.
If they wanted benefits, then they had to bear the corresponding consequences.
Michel forced out that tiger-like smile again: "Thank you for your benevolence. I'll go back and tell the others first. I won't disturb you any longer."
With that, he turned and left directly.
Looking at Michel's back, Yang Tao showed a smile on his face, then shook his head and turned back into the weapons shop.
'A one-time door key will sell for 100... That's just over six times the profit, can't be too greedy, after all, it's something for long-term use...'
Spending half a day, Yang Tao renovated the weapons shop, marked prices on all the equipment, and exchanged a massive amount of one-time door keys to keep in the weapons shop.
'I'll go back and limit the range of the wooden door first.'
Returning to the Overworld, the sky had completely darkened, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.
Eric saw him return, stood up, and walked to his side, saying, "Yang, I want her to go to a safe world..."
"A safe world?"
Yang Tao walked to the Mist Wall, with Eric following behind him. From an initially empty wall, it had now developed to have dozens of wooden doors, densely arranged on the wall.
He stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the wooden doors, pondering which world would be better to go to.
'Detective Conan World... No, no, not to mention Conan, that dangerous individual, the chaotic timeline alone is not something an ordinary person can bear.'
'Digital World... is also not that safe. I remember there are still many parts of the plot, 1, 2, 3, later on.'
'Resident Evil pass, Girl's Last Tour has been digitized, Silent Hill World definitely has other supernatural elements, Miko's world isn't very suitable either...'
After a moment of thought, Yang Tao still felt that Spider-Man's world was more suitable, and looking at Eric, he said:
"Eric, there are two choices. One is Spider-Man's world. I will arrange for someone to send your loved one to Florida... After all, you are familiar with that area, and the safety is relatively high."
"The other is that I build a house for you two in the Overworld, and you can live a carefree life here. The advantage is safety, the disadvantage is your son's schooling problem."
Hearing his teasing, Eric thought for a moment and said, "Yang, can Arya go to school in China?"
Hearing this request, Yang Tao looked at Eric with some surprise: "Holy crap, Eric, aren't you afraid your son will hate you?"
"Compared to him hating me, I'd rather he learn more and stay away from danger. During my time in the Backrooms, I met many Chinese people. They are very smart and have no bad habits..."
"I don't want my son to come back one day and tell me that his frequently taken advantage of classmate begged him not to come to school tomorrow, and I certainly don't want him to smoke weed every day..."
Yang Tao couldn't help but laugh when he heard Eric's words. He took out the Building Staff from his backpack and gently waved it. Pure white quartz blocks quickly surrounded the wooden door leading to the Backrooms.
"Eric, congratulations on mastering the traffic password, but your suggestion is quite good. I will arrange for him to go to a foreign language school in China. Although the tuition fees there are a bit high, the educational resources are still very good..."
He waved the Building Staff in his hand again.
'And some glowstone for lighting!'
Yang Tao still likes this kind of large-scale construction, which can be built easily, unlike interior decoration that requires meticulous refinement.
"When it gets light, you can go to Spider-Man's world first and play with your child for two days. I'll take care of this. Oh, and when you're playing, stay away from New York..."
Leaving an exit on the quartz wall, he called two Mutated Iron Golems to guard the entrance, not out of fear of attack, but out of concern for overly curious people.
After isolating the wooden door, Yang Tao and Eric returned to the table, took out several cups and food from their backpacks, and placed them on the table.
"Let's eat something first."
Yang Tao chuckled as he took out Seer Tea powder from his backpack and brewed three cups. He and Eric exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
Eric took the Seer Tea from the table and handed it to Mary, who was beside him, saying earnestly, "Mary, try this. This is a Backrooms specialty, Seer Tea... It has an unparalleled taste. I guarantee you've never experienced anything like it in your life."
