Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

The girl did not answer, maintaining a cool and silent attitude.

Fan Xiao wasn't embarrassed and continued, "It seems you don't believe that the invasion of Hell will lead to the destruction of this world."

"Hmph... Such is the thinking logic of mortals. The rules of dungeons are varied and bizarre. Sometimes, if you don't discard some common sense, you will suffer a great loss."

"I think if we don't stop hell from invading us now, we might all perish in a few days."

"..."

The hooded girl stopped, looked at Fan Xiao, and asked, "Are you... serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "I'd like to ask why you didn't take this intelligence seriously? The instance isn't the real world, so even if it were destroyed, it wouldn't be that... surprising."

"Since you believe it's true, why don't you go investigate the Longxi Lighthouse now?" The hooded girl frowned. "Why stay in the village to investigate irrelevant intelligence?"

"It's just a division of labor. I've already arranged a plan to stop Hell's invasion, and it needs to be implemented step by step; there's no rushing it. Besides..."

Fan Xiao said, "Whether the intelligence we're investigating now is irrelevant or not is not up to you to decide; I will make my own judgment."

He paused, then continued, "As you've probably noticed, the background story mentions that the Celestials and Demons secretly orchestrated this internal strife among humans, without the knowledge of the Twin Kings, to achieve a goal... what goal?"

"I suspect... this purpose is likely related to the two kings, so keeping an eye on their unusual behavior might yield some unexpected information."

"Carmen the Demon King took away a pair of twin sisters from Longxi Village. Isn't that unusual?"

"This anomaly has nothing to do with resolving the Hell Invasion, right?" the hooded girl said. "According to you, the Hell Invasion can be successfully stopped by killing all the monsters in the Dark Space."

"Those monsters... their abnormally fast regeneration ability, the physical attack power brought by their enormous bodies, the bizarre ability to cause players' bodies to mutate, plus their terrifying numbers... they're not easy to kill!"

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "Besides, don't you think the attitude of the two kings towards the invasion of Hell is very incongruous?"

"The Demon King wants to stop the war and create a better society. The True King, though he doesn't interfere in human conflicts, faithfully protects the survival of humanity. Logically, neither of them should ignore the phenomenon of Hell's invasion."

"So I guess... this invasion of hell might be related to them. The information we need to investigate now might play a certain... or even crucial role in eliminating the hellish monsters."

"If you can proactively lower the difficulty level, why insist on challenging yourself with a high level of difficulty? Don't you think so?"

"...Why are you telling me all this?"

The hooded girl seemed somewhat wary.

Why reveal so much information for no reason...? What's the purpose?

"Can't you tell? Heh... Of course, it's because I really like young beauties like you. This is my way of showing my sincerity."

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "How about it? Want to be my girlfriend? Following me is much better than going it alone, and the only price you need to pay is your body."

The hooded girl did not reply.

He directly replaced his verbal response with undisguised murderous intent.

If it weren't for the fact that they would be working together later, she would have loved to kill that bastard on the spot!

She has a pretty face, so how could she be so shameless?!

"Okay, actually, I'm saying all this mainly to try and get you to cooperate with me."

Seeing that his junior sister was on the verge of losing her temper, Fan Xiao immediately changed his tune.

The hooded girl replied, "We've already established a partnership."

"No, I was just scheming against you before, I didn't consider you a real partner."

Fan Xiao stated very directly, "The other players who joined are also just pawns."

“Your skills are up to par…or rather, I value your unpredictable attack methods. Therefore, I would like to formally invite you to cooperate with me.”

"The monster army in the dark space is not easy to deal with. My defense is not strong enough, and I am likely to be defeated when facing them. But if your strange attack method can be used to assist me, it will be much easier to eliminate them."

He wasn't entirely lying when he said that.

Undoubtedly, his talent and the attack power of the Angel of Death are unmatched.

However, the 10-meter range limitation meant that the little angel could not eliminate all enemies in one shot.

It will take some time to eliminate the monster army, and during this period, the enemy may use a rotation tactic to target you.

His offense is strong, but his defense is weak.

He couldn't defend against the monsters' ability to mutate and corrupt.

If all the monsters target him and launch an attack... he could be completely mutated in an instant.

That would be the end of us.

Although he can use the B-grade item "Mirror" to block the monster's distortion interference with space, he must leave the mirror world and appear in the outside world when he wants to attack—so he is still at risk of being hit.

Moreover, one cannot stay in the mirror world for too long...

As for the "Land of the Vanished Gods"... firstly, its attack range is limited and it cannot deal with monsters in the distance; secondly... when he escaped from the dark space before, he actually used this item to test it, making monsters that wanted to attack him forget their intention to attack.

The result... was unsuccessful.

Fan Xiao considered two possible reasons.

Either the monsters are confused and act purely on instinct, without any conscious intention to attack—just like the manifestation of the rules of the instance in operation.

Either these monsters are puppets of some kind of being, controlled by a consciousness hidden behind the scenes, where simply interfering with the monsters is of no use.

Of course, it is very difficult to do it alone, but it is not entirely hopeless to win.

Fan Xiao mainly didn't want to take any risks.

After all... he has suffered from insecurity and paranoia since childhood.

Besides, he also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate what his junior sister's abilities were...

"Let me... assist you?"

After a few seconds of silence, the hooded girl asked, "Why not invite other players to join?"

"Their strength is just so-so, they're not very useful."

Fan Xiao said with a disdainful look, "And judging from their attitude, they probably don't believe in such nonsense as the destruction of the world."

"Let them do the work and come with me to kill the monster army. Ha... the chances are slim. I don't trust these people and I won't entrust my back to them."

"Then why didn't you deceive them before and claim that the monster was weak?" the hooded girl asked.

"no point."

Fan Xiao shook his head and said, "Once a player gets swallowed into the dark space, witnesses the monster's power, and successfully escapes, they'll immediately see through my lie. At that point, my credibility will be zero. And..."

He added, "Escape from the dark space isn't that difficult. Even if they were deceived into agreeing to join me in eliminating the monsters, they would probably run away as soon as they witnessed their power."

"Now that you've seen through them, why did you invite them to join you in the fight against Caesar the True King?" the hooded girl reminded her. "Once the battle begins, they'll run away if they see things are going badly."

"Different."

Fan Xiao explained, "Launching a campaign in the dark space will inevitably attract a monster army, and the situation will become chaotic."

"While both Caesar the True King and Carmen the Demon King have no interest in stopping the invasion of Hell, ... once the Hellish monsters rush in and launch their attack, can Caesar the True King continue to stand idly by?"

"He will definitely retaliate!"

"..."

The hooded girl understood.

This guy... actually plans to drag Caesar into this mess and have him join him in destroying the monsters of hell?

It turns out the plan to subjugate was just a cover... No, if we could really defeat the true King Caesar, that would be even better, killing two birds with one stone and directly clearing the dungeon.

Fan Xiao continued, "At that time, by borrowing the strength of the monster army to besiege King Caesar together, not only will the difficulty of the campaign be greatly reduced, but conversely, our efficiency in killing monsters will also increase."

"Even if players are attacked by monsters at the same time, seeing that the opportunity to complete the dungeon quest is within reach, those guys probably won't easily give up their plans and run away."

"The longer they hold on, the better our chances will be."

If the situation becomes chaotic and the monster army has more targets to attack instead of just targeting him, the "abnormal pressure" he faces will be much less. It will then be much easier to summon the little angels to start the massacre.

Maybe we can fight our way through smoothly.

"...Although you are a disgusting pervert, I have to admit that you have some intelligence."

After a moment of silence, the hooded girl spoke with considerable reluctance.

He's clearly a psychopath, so why is he so calculating?

He's clearly a pervert...

Chapter 416 The Devil's Daughter

The hooded girl finally accepted Fan Xiao's invitation.

She was still somewhat unwilling to believe that the dungeon world would be destroyed by the invasion of Hell... The hundreds of thousands of people in Silver City and Obsidian City, the vast continent, the boundless ocean... These things constantly stimulated and strengthened her perception of "magnificence," making her think, "How could a few insignificant monsters destroy the world?"

The indifferent attitude of the true king Caesar and the demon king Carmen towards the invasion of hell indirectly reinforced her idea.

To make her take the "world's end" as a real prophecy seriously... she needs time to process it.

but……

Subjective feelings aside, since Van Meadows has provided a reasonable logical explanation, she doesn't mind going against her own subjective judgment and taking the risk with him.

“My talent only works on myself,” the hooded girl said. “I can only help you directly in terms of combat power; I can’t provide the kind of indirect assistance you’re talking about.”

"Is it that you can't? Or that you don't want to reveal the secret of your abilities?" Fan Xiao curled his lip.

"No."

The hooded girl was very concise and had no intention of explaining anything further.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Are you sure it's talent?

Fan Xiao said thoughtfully, "What you've shown are two abilities: imperceptible attacks and... bizarre damage capabilities."

"You killed two C-level players by slitting their throats. Logically speaking, C-level players shouldn't die from such minor injuries."

"So... besides your talent, you actually possess a psychic ability?"

"Ignorant!" the hooded girl exclaimed. "A talent that encompasses multiple abilities is rare?"

"Oh?" Fan Xiao's lips curled up: "Looks like I guessed right."

"...What do you mean?" The hooded girl frowned.

"Judging from your personality, even if I'm wrong, you probably won't bother explaining anything to me. You rarely paid attention to me when I asked you questions before, right?"

Fan Xiao's smile widened: "But you just explained it immediately. What does that mean?"

Hooded girl: "..."

"Little beauty, you're still too green."

Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "If someone is very beautiful, and others say she's ugly, she'll most likely just ignore them."

"But if someone is really ugly, they will most likely get agitated if someone says they are ugly."

"Because... my defenses crumbled."

"Don't you think you were very agitated just now?"

"boring."

After coldly uttering a single sentence, the hooded girl ignored Fan Xiao and hurried towards her destination.

Fan Xiao didn't let her off the hook. After following her, he said again, "Actually, I've also awakened a spiritual ability called 'Eye of True Knowledge.' It allows me to see through other players' game classes instantly."

The hooded girl remained silent, ignoring his idle chatter.

Fan Xiao continued, "For example, I can tell at a glance that you are an assassin."

"Game professions are defined based on a player's past life experiences. The fact that you can get the assassin profession means that you must have done assassin-related work before."

"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect you to be so young, yet you've already started causing harm to society."

"This guy... has the nerve to look down on us cannibalistic players?"

"..."

The hooded girl stopped in her tracks, her expression darkening.
