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

Besides that, there are no other family members.

There is no "older brother" in this family.

"Let's go to the next one."

Without wasting any time, Fan Xiao once again used the "Dustless Shield" to lift the three of them into the sky and fly towards the next house.

The reason they flew so high was to avoid contact with the monsters on the ground.

Who knows how many new monsters have been born in Wangxiang Town these days?

The little angel can't come out for now; sometimes it's time to be a little cowardly.

Fan Xiao quickly found the next household in the town.

After using repulsive force to open the new brick house door, the four saw a player with animal ears standing behind the door, holding a knight's longsword in his left hand and a teddy bear in his right, looking at Fan Xiao and the others with a wary expression.

It seems he had heard the commotion outside long ago and had prepared for battle in advance.

It's estimated that the items are already in the activation state.

It seems those animal ears weren't just for show.

"I can hear that you flew over from the sky. So that's how you avoid the old woman with the dried corpse..."

The beast-eared player asked in a serious tone, "What is your purpose?"

"Don't be nervous. If we wanted to attack you, we would have done so when we landed."

Fan Xiao took a step forward and said, "We came here just to confirm the family composition of each household in the town."

"I only have my parents and younger brother here, no other family members," the beast-eared player said. "You can leave now."

"What you say doesn't count; we need to confirm it ourselves."

Lu Xining said bluntly, "You'd better move aside. Otherwise..."

"..."

Threats are effective.

Faced with the gazes of the four people, the beast-eared player eventually stepped aside silently.

Fan Xiao and the others entered the living room and quickly checked all the rooms, but did not find "brother".

It seems this player is quite honest and didn't try any tricks with words.

Before leaving, Fan Xiao asked the beast-eared player, "By the way, what was the horror story you told?"

"Ouija board," the beast-eared player's expression changed, "You'd better be careful, the stories we tell can become reality!"

"Oh?" Fan Xiao said, "Looks like you've escaped unscathed. Is there any pattern to the Ouija board game?"

"The Ouija board is a female ghost that lives inside an oil pen. The oil pen will suddenly appear in front of you and materialize the items needed to play the Ouija board game."

The beast-eared player solemnly warned, "If the oil pen appears, you must play the game with her, otherwise she will attack you directly."

"When playing the game, you must hold the pen with all your might and not let it move even an inch, nor ask the spirit any questions."

"If you can maintain this state and hold out against the Ouija board for ten minutes, she will give up on playing the game with you."

"Since you've been so cooperative, I'll give you some information for free," Fan Xiao said with a smile. "There's a 'deceitful ghost' wandering around the town. It can disguise itself as other people to maliciously deceive them. You'd better be careful."

After giving the reminder, he called to his companion, "Let's go, let's go to the next one. Oh, by the way..."

Fan Xiao suddenly looked at Lu Xining: "Did you find the diary?"

"..."

Seeing his serious expression, Lu Xining immediately realized what was going on and frowned in agreement, saying, "It's not that easy. However... I already have a lead, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should have results by tomorrow, but I can't guarantee that we'll find it."

"Having a clue is better than being a headless fly," Fan Xiao sighed. "I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for another second!"

"Is this the time for idle chatter?" Du Ruo reminded us seriously. "We need to leave quickly, or we'll attract the dried-up corpse granny, which wouldn't be good."

Li Jian: "..."

"Of course I know that, you don't need to remind me. Let's go."

Fan Xiao nodded, and the "Dustless Shield" carried the three of them into the sky.

The beast-eared player stood at the entrance of the living room, watching the three figures disappear into the air before turning his gaze away.

His expression was somewhat uncertain.

On the other side, Li Jian, who was being carried through the air, asked Fan Xiao... or rather reminded him, "Why don't we just kill him directly? The players are scattered now. If you want to reduce the number of players, there's no need to use this kind of tactic. We have a complete advantage here. We can take advantage of the night to defeat them one by one. It's very simple."

“Try to imagine this scenario first,” Fan Xiao said: “You’re out of town with your wife, eating hot pot and singing songs, when suddenly you’re robbed by bandits.”

Li Jian: "?"

Fan Xiao continued, "Tell me, aren't the bandits despicable?"

Li Jian: "..."

……

To the four's surprise, the intelligence gathering work did not proceed as smoothly as expected.

The scattered players are easy to deal with.

But the monsters that come to life from horror stories are a real headache.

Fortunately, most monsters don't pursue you relentlessly.

With the "Dustless Shield" by your side, if you encounter one, you can simply escape through the air. Not all monsters possess the teleportation ability of the Mummy Granny.

Of course, there are exceptions.

After Fan Xiao used "Dustless Shield" to break open the door of the twelfth town's house, he found a male player lying motionless on the cement floor of the living room.

Fan Xiao observed that the other person had no wounds.

After a moment's thought, he didn't rush in. Instead, he used repulsive force to send the other person flying into the air and observed their reaction.

He eventually determined that it was a corpse.

Lu Xining, Du Ruo, and Li Jian quickly completed their search of all the houses.

"There is no 'older brother' in this family, only 'parents' and 'younger brother'."

Li Jian said to Fan Xiao.

Lu Xining glanced at the corpse that had fallen back to the ground and frowned, saying, "There are no wounds on his forehead or body, which doesn't match the attack pattern of the Big Face Monster. He must have died at the hands of a monster that manifested from a horror story."

“Stop investigating,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s leave here first.”

During their previous investigations, whenever they encountered a player, in addition to the usual fishing, they would try to ask the player what kind of horror stories they had told, and use this information to deduce the corresponding ghost's attack methods.

This helps improve the survival rate.

However, just like the first time, the player had already sent the package and could only leave as soon as possible.

Just then, a deep, hoarse voice came from outside, attracting their attention.

Do I look more like a man or a god to you?

"..."

Fan, Xiao, and the other three immediately turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the gate, a weasel, about the size of an adult, stood upright, its slightly reddish eyes fixed on them.

Do I look like a human or a god to you?

"..."

When faced with the weasel's second question, none of the four—Fan, Xiao, and the others—answered.

The story of the weasel begging for a title—similar stories simultaneously surfaced in the minds of Fan Xiao, Du Ruo, and Lu Xining.

Weasels are also known as Huang Daxian in folklore, and are considered to be quite spiritual.

Legend has it that a weasel with considerable cultivation will ask those it has a connection with, "Do I look like a human or a god to you?"

This is called seeking official recognition.

If you answer like a god, it will receive a title and become an immortal on the spot, which can be considered as forming a good karmic connection with you.

If you answer that it's like a human, it's equivalent to ruining its cultivation, making all its previous efforts go to waste, and it will definitely come back to retaliate against you in the future.

Judging from the current situation, the dead player on the ground was probably telling this story.

As a storyteller, one naturally knows how to answer correctly.

But now the other side's people are all lying dead on the ground... that says it all.

This story has been completely distorted by the dungeon!

Whether you answer "like a human" or "like a god," something bad will happen!

You must never answer questions.

Ignore is best.

Do I look more like a man or a god to you?

The weasel asked another question.

It stood at the doorway, completely blocking the way out.

Fan Xiao's eyes narrowed, and with a flick of his "Dustless Shield," he quickly lifted his three companions into the air, crashing through the roof of the brick house and soaring into the sky.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears again: "Do I look like a human or a god to you?"

The truth behind Chapter 124, the dungeon?

Hearing the question, Fan Xiao and the other three turned their heads to look.

The weasel had appeared beside them unnoticed, its scarlet eyes fixed on them. It kept teleporting, pressing close to them as it asked, "Do I look like a human or a god to you?"

"Dark Arrow!"

"Close-range contact!"

"An active kite string!"

Du Ruo, Lu Xining, and Li Jian made their moves one after another.

The wriggling dark arrows, the powerful attacking puppets that ignored all obstacles, and the kite strings that could forcibly strangle a person and hang them up, all fell on the weasel.

Fan Xiao also controlled the flow of blood and cast an emotional spell, the firelight illuminating the sky shrouded in night.

The four items worked simultaneously, but they didn't harm the opponent in the slightest.

Do I look more like a man or a god to you?

The weasel persisted, relentlessly asking questions.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao's eyes turned cold. He unleashed the full power of the "Dustless Shield" and rushed out, circling the town continuously.

After circling around for more than half an hour without receiving any response, the weasel finally left dejectedly.

"This dungeon is getting more and more dangerous!"

After landing back on the ground, Li Jian said with lingering fear, "A weasel, almost as troublesome as the dried-up old woman."

"It just has the same mobility as the old woman with the dried corpse. It's not exactly troublesome, but it is annoying."

Du Ruo said, "As long as you don't answer its questions, it won't attack you. That should be its attack pattern."

"The ghosts and monsters depicted in horror stories should all follow certain patterns."

"If there's no pattern to it, and all ghosts can attack at will, then we can't stay home at night. If we try to escape, we'll run into the Mummified Granny. Wouldn't the players be doomed?"

"The pattern is indeed a safety guarantee that the dungeon provides for us players. If you only encounter one ghost, and you know its pattern, you can deal with it by following the pattern. It is not difficult."

Lu Xining said, "But as the number of ghosts and monsters increases and their individual patterns accumulate, how can we possibly figure them all out and abide by them all in one go?"

"Moreover, some rules may be contradictory, and when you encounter them, you can only follow one of them."

"This dungeon gets harder as you progress! You'll probably need to be incredibly lucky to survive seven days."

"Monsters can only be considered a direct danger."

Fan Xiao added, "In addition, there is the indirect danger of 'players killing each other'."
