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

After that, the research institute began testing test subjects with the potential to awaken psychic abilities everywhere and captured them. Dr. Zhuang rewrote the memories of the families of these test subjects, making them "disappear" from society without causing any sensation.

Ultimately, seven out of more than a thousand test subjects successfully awakened their psychic powers.

Upon discovering the emergence of a psychic, Dr. Zhuang rewrote the individual's memories and recruited them into his organization.

Meanwhile, this psychic psionicist, seeking revenge for the deaths of his fellow test subjects, used his psionic powers to involve the researchers' families and relatives.

In subsequent experiments, these people either died or turned into monsters; none of them awakened psychic powers—from this, it can be inferred that they likely lacked the "aptitude."

The selection of test subjects is not so casual.

After sharing his speculation, Gao Wen looked at his four teammates and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"The Xiao Rou mentioned in the letter should be the 'lockdown monster' that created the invisible barrier to seal off the research institute."

Fan Xiao said, "The letter also mentioned that Xiao Rou is very kind. Perhaps if we apologize to her, admit our mistakes, and properly bury the other test subjects, we might be able to get her released."

"As expected, this should be the way to pass the level, which is pretty much what I guessed."

"You guessed it all along?" Gao Wen asked.

"I guess so, the logic behind it isn't complicated."

Fan Xiao nodded: "Apologizing and admitting your mistake is what you did last night, the 'begging for forgiveness' you did."

Gawain: "..."

Fan Xiao continued, "As for the burial... the bodies of the test subjects are long gone. If I'm not mistaken, the burial should mean collecting the name tags and holding a funeral ceremony for them as if they were the test subjects."

"You mean bury the name tag like a person?" Gao Wen asked.

"Yes."

Fan Xiao said, "Moreover, apologies and admissions of wrongdoing are best reserved for formal funeral ceremonies."

"It just so happens that at night our identity is that of 'researchers,' and only by apologizing to the victims as perpetrators can the victims possibly find peace."

"Hmm... this design is quite ingenious."

"The perpetrator..."

Nori paused for two seconds on the word before saying, "The experiments in this research institute implicated two groups of innocent people. Even the dragon slayers ended up becoming the dragons themselves."

She was referring to the psionicist who left the letter.

In his act of revenge against the researchers, the letter's owner recklessly dragged countless innocent people into the mess, making them do the same things as the researchers.

Who is right and who is wrong is now tangled up like a pretzel, completely impossible to unravel.

"We don't need to dwell on the right and wrong of the dragon slayer and the dragon, Your Highness."

Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Human nature is inherently complex and often cannot withstand temptation and tests. When looking at these kinds of issues, we can try to step out of this circle and focus on the core from the perspective of an observer."

He said, "At the heart of this disaster is Dr. Zhuang; he is like the seductive serpent in the Garden of Eden."

“Eden?” Nori blinked. “A snake?”

"rumor……"

Fan Xiao began to tell the story in the Bible about the ancient serpent tempting Eve and Adam to eat the forbidden fruit.

Anyway, to clear the game, you have to wait until dark. There's still some time before dark, so I might as well kill some time by chatting.

After he finished speaking, Nori said, "It's a very allegorical story, hmm... it seems quite similar to the mythology of the Celestial Church."

"The Heavenly Righteous Sect...?" Fan Xiao asked in surprise, "The one in Division 001?"

“Yes,” Nori exclaimed in surprise, “Wait, Earl…you’re not also from Division 001, are you?”

“No,” Vanshaw replied, “but I do intend to make Roman City my second settlement.”

Here he started to tell the truth.

Having passed through the chaotic initial phase of the evolution game, partition 001 is remarkably harmonious and stable—at least on the surface.

When he wants to cause trouble in his own home world division in the future, Roman City in Division 001 can undoubtedly serve as a safe place to temporarily settle his family.

Of course, to achieve this, one must cultivate a good reputation in Roman City, establish a certain status, and ensure that no one dares to provoke them.

The young girl, Nori, standing before him was clearly a lady of high status.

Building a good relationship with her will definitely not hurt.

Fan Xiao concealed his adult thoughts and asked naturally, "Is Your Highness also from Division 001?"

"Mmm!" Nori exclaimed happily, "What a coincidence! Is this a fateful encounter? It seems that the heavens are very kind to us, the Dark Alliance."

"Oh?" Fan Xiao asked in surprise, "Your Highness is also someone burdened by darkness?"

"of course."

Nori puffed out her youthful chest and said, "Oh dear, how rude of me, I forgot to introduce my true identity."

“Count, you are a noble of the night, and I am the queen of the night. We both belong to darkness and are natural allies.”

"Queen of the Night... that title doesn't sound good."

Fan Xiao said, "How about calling it the Evil King's True Eye?"

"The Evil King's True Eye... seems pretty cool, doesn't it?"

Nori's eyes lit up.

After hesitating for two seconds, she successfully transformed from the Dark Queen into the Evil King's True Eye.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao became playful and continued, "The title 'Queen of the Night' doesn't actually need to be discarded. It can be slightly modified and used as a spell when summoning items."

"For example, Your Highness, when you want to summon the Heartless Doll, you can first shout: Explode reality, shatter spirit, banish this world, obey the blood pact, I hereby summon you, Queen of the Night!"

"So cool! But..."

Nori hesitated, "If I don't call for the Mindless Doll, the item won't be summoned."

"You can first recite the summoning incantation loudly, and then quietly call out 'Lost Doll,' just make sure no one hears you."

Fan Xiao suggested.

“Yes, yes,” Nori nodded emphatically, “That’s good! It will work!”

"cough……"

Gao Wen, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and coughed slightly.

He was so embarrassed he could practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with his toes.

“If you really do that, you're just adding unnecessary constraints to yourself,” Gawain reminded Nori. “Battles are unpredictable, and using items naturally requires speed. Why would you intentionally add irrelevant spells to waste time?”

"Hmph...what an unromantic mortal."

Nori turned her head to the side, proudly ignoring Gawain.

Doesn't she know something so simple?

Whether or not to chant a spell depends on the specific circumstances.

She is not stupid.

Fan Xiao chimed in, "Your Highness, that's just how honest people are. We shouldn't pay attention to the opinions of such mortals. In terms of understanding and knowledge, how could mere grains of sand compare to even a fraction of our level?"

Gawain: "..."

Nori nodded in agreement: "The Earl is truly a kindred spirit to me."

“Hehe,” Fan Xiao laughed, “You flatter me.”

Next, Nori became very talkative and began humbly asking Van Shaw for quotes that could elevate her own style.

Fan Xiao naturally shared all his knowledge with him.

Phrases like "Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in this world," "If the heavens had not given birth to me, Nori, the demonic path would have been shrouded in eternal darkness," "Even if I bear the weight of the abyss..." and "No one starts out standing in the heavens... From this day forward, I will stand at the top"...

Nori was amazed!

The head guard and head maid stood behind Nori without saying a word, as if they were already used to it.

Gao Wen silently increased the distance between them.

In this contradictory atmosphere of both laughter and silence, time slowly passed, and night was about to fall.

Vanshaw and Norley stopped talking.

The group of five chose a building and prepared to go to the laboratory for refuge.

Because at night, psionic monsters become active.

There are absolutely no records of how many of the researcher's relatives have undergone mutations.

Therefore, the exact number of monsters in the Seventh Research Institute is unknown.

Even Fan Xiao has to be cautious in this regard.

Although the cooldown period for the Little Angel has passed, many of the psionic monsters are formless.

If no contact medium can be found to inflict damage, the little angel cannot kill indiscriminately.

Fan Xiao did not act rashly.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, the five of them went into a glass room with an open door, their eyes fixed on the bottom of the pool, waiting for the memory badges to appear.

Name tags are a product of the night.

As night falls, the name tags will, unsurprisingly, be refreshed in the pool.

“Speaking of which,” Gawain broke the silence, “wasn’t our previous act of collecting metal employee ID badges and throwing them at the invisible barrier considered a futile effort?”

"Not counting."

Fan Xiao replied, "The letter may only indicate the general direction for clearing the dungeon; we'll have to fill in the details ourselves."

"Moreover, the contents of the letter are the author's speculations and have not been verified."

"Even if 'Xiao Rou' was kind in life, after she became a monster and lost her mind, all that's left is probably anger and hatred."

"We threw its employee ID card to smash it, which symbolically allowed it to get its revenge. This should calm its anger down first. Only after that, by burying it, apologizing, and admitting its mistakes, will it be effective."

"It seems... the conditions for the second mission are really difficult!"

Gao Wen said, "This is the first time I've encountered such a difficult dungeon. Seventeen people came in, and after only one day, only five are left. The death rate is too high!"

"The difficulty level is alright."

Fan Xiao said, "Don't just focus on the second condition. The first condition is to survive for seven days. As long as we are careful and quick-witted, it shouldn't be a problem for a few people to form a team."

This dungeon was not difficult for him.

He only summoned the little angel once and easily got an A rating—given his current performance, getting an A rating shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, even if the little angel doesn't appear this time, and doesn't enter the director's office, he can still achieve the second mission condition by trying out the method he guessed to pass the level.

Without his superpowers activated, his luck was very balanced.

It's highly unlikely that you'll be unlucky enough to encounter a dungeon that's too difficult for you.

Of course, the difficulty level is only from his perspective.

The difficulty level will likely increase if the perspective shifts to Gawain and his group.

At one point, a name tag suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pool.

All five of them saw this scene immediately.

“It’s evening,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s get to work.”

Chapter 219 Fan Xiao, kneel down!

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's words, Gao Wen subconsciously turned and walked towards the glass room door, seemingly wanting to collect memory badges from other rooms.

“Wait,” Fan Xiao called out to him, “have you forgotten something?”

"What?" Gawain stopped and asked.

"Kneel down and beg for mercy," Fan Xiao said.

Gawain: "..."

Not only him, but the head guard and the head maid also looked somewhat uneasy.
