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

Because he had maximized the repulsive force of the "Dustless Shield," his own body was under tremendous strain, and he felt his lungs and internal organs trembling uncontrollably, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Fan Xiao forcibly suppressed his discomfort and generated a reverse repulsive force to stop himself quickly.

The physical impact of the sudden movement and sudden stop almost made him vomit blood.

Fortunately, his "battle" is over.

The following "battle" required no further involvement from him.

"The halo of intellectual disability!"

"Draw a circle on the ground to make a prison!"

"Dragon Binding Rope!"

The next second, three props attacked Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao felt his thinking becoming somewhat sluggish.

At the same time, I couldn't move my body.

A golden rope flew towards him, but it was blocked by the repulsive barrier.

Fan Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he did not use any props to retaliate.

Because, "Hehe..."

A lovely laugh rang in his ears.

Puff, puff, puff...

A series of sounds of flesh tearing followed.

In just two seconds, all the players surrounding Fan Xiao were slaughtered.

The remaining two players who were seriously injured and thrown away by him were then surrounded and beaten to death by Lu Xining's puppet army.

The battle ended in an instant.

Li Jian, who was preparing to join the battle, looked dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, they directly or indirectly killed 10 D-level players who were ready for battle.

This level of skill is so high that even C-level or B-level players probably wouldn't be this efficient, let alone D-level players.

Who exactly are the Fan brothers?

On the other hand, Lu Xining was used to it.

Aside from envy, there wasn't much surprise in his eyes.

She manipulated the ten puppets back onto her skirt, remaining vigilant.

Because there might be an ambush.

Fan Xiao quickly took out a bottle of medicine and drank it, which relieved the intense discomfort inside his body.

Then he manipulated the "Dustless Shield" to carry himself into the high sky.

From this vantage point, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire town.

Fan Xiao certainly didn't come here to admire the scenery.

Without wasting any time, he directly gave Fan Qiqi the order: "De-materialize, avoid mental interference within this town, and then check if the town below is a ruin."

Chapter 127 Is there still a loli inside my body?

The little girl had somehow teleported behind Fan Xiao, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned against his back, her little head peeking out from his right shoulder.

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's command, she immediately and obediently de-materialized, then teleported to a high place next to Fan Xiao and looked down.

"Ruins...some places are ruins, some places aren't, and there are fewer places that aren't."

"Some places...aren't they?"

Fan Xiao was taken aback.

Could it be that my guess was missing something?

He quickly worked backward from the conclusion, recalling all the people and things he had encountered after entering the instance, and sorted out the details of all the events again.

"Could it be... those old women?"

The answer is out.

In this instance, in the entire town of Wangxiang, the only group of people who have little or no contact with the players are the women who were trafficked to this town and used as breeding machines.

They are all old, and there are only a few of them left who are still alive.

So they weren't illusions after all, but real human beings...

After deducing this, Fan Xiao said to Fan Qiqi, "Take another look and see if these townspeople are real or fake."

After saying that, he swooped down to the ground and rushed into Lu Xining's house, arriving at the room where the little girl's "parents" were sleeping.

Fan Qiqi looked inside and said, "There's no one here."

"Try to materialize it again."

"Oh...wow, there are people here again, how amazing!"

"Continue to de-entityize."

"Fan Xiao, you're so annoying."

"obedient."

"Humph."

Fan Qiqi snorted coldly as she deactivated her physical form.

Fan Xiao then asked, "Is the room very old? Very dilapidated?"

"Mmm," Fan Qiqi nodded her little head and said, "It's old, broken, and dirty. There's a lot of dust, vines, and weeds."

"really……"

Fan Xiao was now completely certain of his guess.

This Wangxiang town is a fake.

Of course, it's not all fake.

The women who were trafficked here still live in this small town.

However, judging from their completely unaffected attitude, they should also be like the players, their minds interfered with by this town, living in a world where reality and illusion intertwine.

"Those old women looked to be around seventy years old. Their descendants, that is, their parents, must be quite old. The fathers must be around fifty years old at the very least. But the fathers that we players saw were mostly around forty years old. There is a difference of about ten years in between."

"It is very likely that their parents died ten years ago, so their hallucinations remain the same as they were ten years ago."

"So, this town has been abandoned for about ten years, and the disaster happened ten years ago?"

Based on the new intelligence, Fan Xiao quickly deduced new information.

Upon arriving here, although the specific nature of the disaster remains unknown.

However, we can already draw a preliminary conclusion about who caused the disaster.

The daughters—most likely the little girls in this town—caused a disaster that led to the deaths of their parents' generation.

As for my grandparents' generation...

My grandmother was one of those women who were trafficked.

Grandpa's words... why they've disappeared is a mystery.

It's possible that, like his "brother," he was killed by the player who initially cast the curse.

The only people left in this small town are my grandmother and parents.

Then the parents had a daughter and abused her.

The daughter's hatred for her parents led to a tragedy in which she killed them.

The reason they didn't kill Grandma... must be that those old women felt sorry for the little girls in the town and never bullied them, so the old women survived.

Judging from the old women's personalities, this conclusion is reasonable.

As women who were trafficked and abused, they naturally felt empathy and compassion for little girls who were also being mistreated.

Perhaps, in private, the little girls receive a lot of care from them.

"The third dungeon quest is to fulfill everyone's wishes. Parents and younger brother are illusions, not real people, so what needs to be fulfilled are the wishes of those old women?"

"No, that's not right. The little girls in this town have been missing. They may not be dead. They may still be alive in some special way."

"Parents, younger brother, small town—these are all figments of our imagination. Then...who imagined them?"

The answer is already obvious.

It might be difficult for one person to imagine the entire town.

But when most people fantasize together and fill in the details from their own memories to build the original town, the difficulty is reduced all at once.

Unsurprisingly, the idea for this town was conceived by those missing little girls.

As for why there's an extra "younger brother" without a prototype...

"These girls have always lived in families that favor sons over daughters. Every day they are abused to the point of death because their parents want a son. Their hatred is directed not only at their parents, but also at their unborn younger brothers."

"So while they were imagining their parents, they also imagined a younger brother in their respective families, and then had the player tell the younger brother scary stories to frighten him into tears, in order to vent their hatred? What an adorable way to get revenge."

"As for why the horror stories told by players come true... it's probably the same as the big-faced monster, the dried-up old woman, and the will-o'-the-wisp. Whatever information the little girls receive, they might imagine what they will imagine. It's an instinct that they can't control. Just like the parents they imagine, they will still abuse their daughters without any improvement. They can't subjectively control their fantasies."

“Even the things they imagine can be distorted by the copy.”

"It's reasonable that the dungeon boss can't completely control the dungeon, only have partial authority."

Having analyzed the matter to this point, Fan Xiao had almost pieced together the truth.

At the same time, he also had some guesses about where the missing little girls had gone.

They...maybe they didn't go anywhere.

The entire Wangxiang Town instance leans towards a spiritual theme.

Parents and younger brother are mental illusions.

So... is it possible that the little girls also became a kind of spiritual life form?

In other words, it refers to a "ghost" in the common sense.

They may have been attached to each player in a spiritual form.

Commonly known as "possession by a ghost".

Therefore, the illusion of "parents" makes the player mistaken for a daughter.

Although these illusions are false, they possess a certain degree of independent consciousness, preventing them from mistaking people for real ones.

The truth is very likely that the world seen by the player and the "parents" is not the same.

The player sees themselves.

The parents saw their daughter.

If this conjecture is true, then we'll have a better idea of ​​how to find the diary.

Yan Keke—this girl is very likely the key to the “disaster” that occurred in this town.

She might even be the boss of this instance.

The other little girls were probably just her appendages.

All you need to do is find the player possessed by Yan Keke, then direct a storyline where you show great care and concern for that player, so that Yan Keke, who is possessing that player, can empathize with their feelings and be directly moved.

After that... she might be able to remove the mental interference from the player, allowing the player to see the real town and then find the diary in the ruins.

Admittedly, this is a ridiculous guess about how to pass the level.

But it has its own rationale.

Because Yan Keke is just a little girl.

Even though she gained powerful mental abilities, her mindset remained that of a little girl.
