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

My body feels like someone else's puppet; the only thing that can move is my mind.

A new monster!

All five reacted immediately and began to struggle.

A certain sense of constraint is gradually being broken.

It seems... I can break free?

However, it will take some time.

Fortunately, although there are problems with my body, the use of props and talents is not restricted.

Fan Xiao quickly discovered this and manipulated the blood in his body to gush out through the "Blood Noble".

Chapter 198 Please, have mercy on me!

Fan Xiao manipulated the gushing blood to continuously condense it, transforming it into blood-red blades that whistled and hovered around, guarding against any potential dangers.

At the same time, he suddenly felt his previously stiff body begin to move.

He raised his hands and reached for Nori's fair neck, which was closest to him, seemingly intending to snap the little girl's neck.

This was certainly not his intention.

He is being controlled by an unknown monster, causing him to harm his teammates.

The next second, Fan Xiao manipulated one of the suspended blood blades into a blood rope, binding his body and restricting his movements.

Soon the head guard also made a move, reaching out to grab the head maid's neck.

Whoosh—a blood-red blade pierced the air and flew towards him, binding his movements in the same way.

Without hesitation, Fan Xiao then manipulated three blood blades to fly towards Nori, the head maid, and Gawain, binding them all as well.

The head maid activated her talent, releasing six protective barriers to create a safe zone that isolated her from external attacks.

However, the stiffness in everyone's bodies did not dissipate as a result.

The protective barrier did not prevent attacks that directly controlled their bodies.

At this moment, Fan Xiao felt that he could move his fingers again.

This time, he wasn't being controlled to move; rather, he had broken free from some of the restraints on his body.

If this stalemate continues, he should be able to completely break free from his immobility in about half a minute.

However, just in case, he adopted a second set of contingency plans.

A repulsive barrier of "Dustless Shield" formed beneath their feet.

He lifted himself and his four teammates up, sending them soaring into the sky.

Whether it's talent or items, there's a limit to how far you can control them.

He believed that monsters were the same way.

Sure enough, after they were about 20 meters away from the rooftop, their bodies were freed from their restraints.

Fan Xiao did not stop immediately, but continued to let the prop output repulsive force. Only after it had created a distance between itself and the rooftop did he stop, supporting his teammates as they floated in the high-altitude area.

"A new monster?" Gawain frowned. "I didn't see its form. Is it another invisible monster?"

“Maybe,” Fan Xiao said. “The other party can control our bodies, with a control distance of about 20 meters. As for the time… given the evolution rate of D-level players, it would take about a minute to break free.”

"The direct threat is not significant, but the indirect threat is enormous!"

The head maid could no longer maintain her indifferent expression and frowned, saying, "What if we encounter other monsters or other players while we're under control? That could be dangerous!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky.

Boom!

A tremendous roar followed immediately.

The next second, another bolt of lightning appeared.

This time, the lightning struck directly on their heads.

Lightning exploded above everyone.

Then came a thunderous roar.

The head maid's protective barrier blocked the lightning strike, preventing everyone from being directly hit.

However, before they could even feel relieved, a faint spark of electricity suddenly emanated from the air and appeared inside the protective barrier.

More and more lightning bolts appeared, quickly coalescing into small white snakes that crackled and pounced towards them.

Upon seeing this, Fan Xiao quickly manipulated the "Dustless Shield" to generate a new repulsive barrier, forming a second layer of protection.

The lightning snakes that lunged at them were repeatedly blasted apart by the repulsive force, exploding into pieces.

However, the exploding lightning quickly reformed into small snakes, rushing towards Fan Xiao and his group of five one after another.

Repulsive barriers cannot completely block lightning strikes.

Fan Xiao felt an electric shock in his body, which caused numbness.

And this numbness is getting stronger.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the head maid's protective barrier.

The head maid frowned deeply and reminded everyone, "This can't go on! My defenses can't be maintained indefinitely."

"It seems we can't stay in the air for long."

Fan Xiao made a quick decision and reminded his four teammates, "Remember my previous guess? Self-harm, then admit your mistake, beg for forgiveness loudly, and see if it works."

He looked at Gao Wen and said, "You try it first."

“…Why don’t you try?” Gawain’s eye twitched.

"I'm using the props and don't have the energy to do anything else."

Fan Xiao explained.

I see you're speaking quite fluently, what obstacle could befall you by loudly begging for mercy... Gao Wen kept these words to himself.

When he can see through the other party's excuses, it means that the other party is not afraid of being exposed at all and is just making up a reason to appease him.

Gao Wen sighed, then suddenly knelt on one knee against the repulsion barrier and shouted, "I'm sorry! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

As he shouted, he used his talent to create a small knife, cut his arm, and let blood flow out, shouting even more vehemently, "I deserve to die! I'm not human! I'm not even a thing..."

He was shouting and self-harming at the same time.

He seems like a lunatic.

"..."

Nori, who was about to follow along with self-harm and beg for mercy, saw this scene and her knees, which were about to bend, straightened up again, and she stood up straight.

Saving face... it's not something you can just throw away.

What a terrifying challenge!

Can she really do it?

"Your Highness, won't you give it a try?"

Fan Xiao reminded the hesitant Nori.

“…Count, and what about you?” Nori kicked the ball back.

Fan Xiao laughed and said, "If it works, I'll follow suit. We're trying it out right now."

“Then…” Nori said, “Me too.”

"Depend on……!"

Gao Wen couldn't help but curse.

However, he was now under Fan Xiao's protection, and being a man who accepted favors, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on this difficult task.

After shouting for about a minute, more and more electric snakes appeared inside the protective barrier.

If this continues, even if the lightning attacks are weakened and neutralized by the "Dustless Shield," the remaining attack intensity will be enough to seriously injure or even kill them.

"This method isn't working, let's go down."

Fan Xiao made a quick decision, controlling the repulsive force to deflect the direction, and quickly landed on the ground with his four teammates.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the head maid's protective barrier.

The head maid's face turned noticeably pale; she was clearly exhausted.

She has already been struck by lightning more than twenty times in a row. If she continues, she will probably be completely exhausted.

Fan Xiao noticed her weakness and used the "Dustless Shield" to wrap them up, quickly flying into a four-story building.

Fortunately, the electric snake in the sky did not pursue them.

The thunder stopped shortly afterward.

Fan Xiao looked outside and, after seeing that the sky had returned to normal, said, "It seems that this lightning monster only attacks targets that fly in the air."

"So, the flight avoidance method you proposed earlier is not feasible."

Gawain drank a bottle of low-level healing potion, and while his arm injury healed, he sighed, "Our only option is to explore the research institute and gather intelligence. This instance... seems quite difficult!"

"I also think it's a bit too high. There are already four monsters."

The head maid said, "Besides the fire monster, we also encountered the shadow monster, the body-controlling monster, and the lightning monster on our side. The monsters can't possibly only target us, can they?"

"I'm sure other players have encountered a lot of other monsters as well. There are just too many monsters in this dungeon! It's difficult enough to survive one night here, let alone seven days."

"I suspect there must be some risk mitigation methods we don't know about! We must find them!"

Having been attacked by four monsters in a row, she has become completely serious.

This instance seems quite unusual.

They were not well-known and kept a low profile, yet they were in such danger.

Could it be that all the players who came in died here?

In the past, with her abilities, the head guard, and Princess Nori who seemed like a pretty face but was actually very powerful, she had never been in such a sorry state when running dungeons... No, now that everyone is unharmed, it's not really a sorry state yet, but if they continue to encounter monsters like this, there will eventually be a time when they fail.

She wasn't sure she could survive seven days.

At this moment, Nori noticed that Vanshaw was constantly observing his surroundings and occasionally frowning. She couldn't help but ask, "Count, is something unusual?"

Does having multiple mirrors count?

Fan Xiao knew that not everyone had night vision like him, so he explained, "There are mirrors embedded in many places on the first floor of this building, which is not normal."

"Mirror... huh?"

Nori suddenly frowned.

She discovered that there was a wound on her face caused by a sharp blade.

A slight pain came over me.

"Your Highness!"

The captain of the guards quickly approached and stood protectively beside Nori.

The head maid followed closely behind, re-released the protective barrier, and carefully observed the anomaly in the surroundings.

The next second, she felt a pain in her arm.

Looking down, he saw a knife wound on his arm, from which blood was flowing and dripping onto the ground.

She's being targeted too!

"careful!"

The head maid warned everyone, "It's an invisible slash! A new monster has appeared!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than wounds appeared on the bodies of the head guard, Fan Xiao, and Gao Wen.
