That sounds like an insult.
Ignoring the ambiguity for the moment, Fan Xiao turned to Gao Wen and asked, "Your talent allows you to create cold weapons. Can you freely change the shape of these weapons? For example, can you create a weapon shaped like a tombstone?"
"can."
Gawain nodded: "However, more than a thousand tombstone weapons... I can't create that many in a short time."
"Before dawn?"
"That's no problem."
"The tombstone is yours to do; I'll take care of digging the hole and burying it."
Fan Xiao quickly determined the division of labor.
Nori asked, "How should we bury them? If we go outside now, the monsters will target us."
“Let’s deal with whatever comes our way,” Fan Xiao said. “Gao Wen and I will dig, bury, and erect the monument, while you’ll be responsible for dealing with the monster’s attacks.”
"This seems really difficult."
Nori revealed the look of a challenger.
“Don’t worry,” Fan Xiao said, “Leave the movement to me. As long as we’re fast enough, we won’t encounter that many monsters.”
"Can you use the same talent you have during the day at night?"
The head maid suddenly asked.
Her underlying question was: why not simply wipe out the monsters all at once, and then slowly and leisurely carry out the burial?
“It’s not cooled down yet,” Fan Xiao shook his head and said, “It can’t be used for the time being.”
The cooldown period has long since passed.
However, he did not plan to make a big fuss at night.
The psionic monsters are different from the humanoid monsters during the day; many of them do not have a concrete form that can be seen with the naked eye.
The "shape" here does not refer to a physical shape.
Rather, it refers to the shapes that the eyes can see.
As long as you can see it, whether it's physical or mental, or even through a defensive barrier... once you see it, you can attack it.
However, the little angels, which cannot be seen, are not very effective when facing such enemies.
Just like "it" in the Hope Middle School instance.
Because they couldn't see "it," they didn't know where to attack, so they could only swing their sickles wildly, hoping to get lucky and hit the opponent.
The current "Angel of Death" is not yet all-around in terms of attack.
Weaknesses still exist.
With this in mind, Fan Xiao decided it was better to be cautious at night and strive for absolute certainty.
The little angel's summoning opportunity is reserved for survival and as a last resort. Unless something unexpected happens, she probably won't have a chance to appear tonight.
"Well, it seems we'll just have to deal with it as it comes."
Although the head maid felt it was a pity, she accepted the situation.
After assigning their respective tasks, the five quickly got to work.
Gawain began making tombstones in the laboratory.
Because he couldn't handle the details, Fan Xiao took over the task of engraving the inscription on the tombstone.
After conjuring an incomparably sharp blood blade, Fan Xiao, based on his memory, engraved the names of the test subjects, their times of death, and other simple information on the tombstones.
Using his talent was extremely mentally taxing; Gawain took several breaks and consumed two bottles of mental recovery potions.
He didn't finish making all the tombstones until 3 a.m.
After Fan Xiao and the other three patiently waited for him to recover, they took a few tombstones and went outside the building.
They plan to bury the name badges in batches.
To their surprise, no monsters appeared to attack them during the burial.
Even after all the tombstones they brought had been used up, not a single psionic monster appeared.
Standing before a large number of tombstones, Gawain looked around at his surroundings and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "The monsters haven't attacked us. What we're doing has this special characteristic, so if nothing unexpected happens, this is indeed the way to clear the level."
"It's probably the copy rule of 'cognitive interference' that's at work."
The head maid guessed, "If the rules can interfere with us players, then interfering with monsters should be no problem either."
"The interference rule originated from the believer's opinion that burial is a good thing, so the interference rule will actively help the player who does this... that's roughly it."
“It seems that the rules of interference are not simple rules,” Nori said. “They should be like monsters, possessing some kind of consciousness or instinct.”
"Let's get to work," Fan Xiao reminded his teammates. "We can save the small talk for after we've accomplished the mission."
So the group of five returned to the laboratory to move the other tombstones.
With their worries about the monster gone, they were much more relaxed and their burial was done with more sincerity.
After all the name tags were buried and all the tombstones were erected.
Gao Wen led the way into the next stage—admitting mistakes and apologizing.
Perhaps he had become so used to losing his integrity that he knelt down in front of the tombstone without hesitation and began to wail and waile, listing his sins.
He was completely absorbed in the drama, his expressions vivid, as if he were truly weeping and filled with remorse for his past actions.
The head maid and the head guard's eyes twitched, but they still obediently followed his instructions.
After the three completed their repentance ceremony, they stood up and all turned their gazes toward Van Shaw and Nori.
"It's your turn."
Gao Wen said expressionlessly.
Although he said "you all," his gaze remained fixed on Fan Xiao.
It seems they just want to see Van Chau do this.
"Hurry up, let's make the most of the time."
The head maid also urged Fan Xiao, then looked at Nori and said, "Your Highness as well."
She seemed to be intrigued and wanted to see her little master make a fool of himself.
Unlike her, the head guard had no intention of overstepping his bounds and silently kept his eyes fixed on Fan Xiao alone.
Fan Xiao: "..."
It seems he went too far with his jokes and made these guys hold a grudge against him.
The thought of summoning a little angel to kill them all before admitting his mistake and apologizing crossed Fan Xiao's mind, but he quickly suppressed it with his great personality and noble character.
It's just an apology act; there's no need to take it so seriously.
As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Fan Xiao naturally curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Nori, saying, "Your Highness, let's go together."
"okay."
Nori, who was being stared at by the head maid, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fan Tuan is such a good person!
I'm willing to help her out of this predicament.
Doing it together makes it less awkward.
And so, under the watchful eyes of Gao Wen and the other two, Fan Xiao and Nori quickly completed the acts of "kneeling and begging for mercy" and "weeping bitterly."
Seeing Fan Xiao's completely absorbed performance and shameless expression, the three of them couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This guy is so shameless, there's no way to find any flaws in him.
Besides sighing in their hearts, there was nothing else they could do.
After Vanshaw and Norrie stood up again, a crisp cracking sound reached everyone's ears.
At the same time, the game notification arrived as scheduled—
[One of the mission requirements has been met. Do you wish to clear this dungeon?]
Upon seeing the notification on the player panel, Gao Wen and the others revealed joy in their eyes.
Fan Xiao felt that things had fallen into place naturally, and his emotions didn't fluctuate much.
He turned his gaze to the distant building, his eyes narrowing, and warned everyone, "The monster is here! Let's try evacuating outside the research institute."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wen and the other three immediately turned to look.
In the distance, a large number of mirrors flew out from the entrance of the first floor of a building.
It's a mirror monster!
The next second, the sound of children's laughter suddenly came from afar and grew closer.
The Laughter Monster has arrived too!
Other monsters also emerged and pounced on them.
"let's go."
As Fan Xiao spoke, he activated "Dustless Shield".
At that moment, Gao Wen suddenly said, "Wait!"
He quickly moved closer to one of the tombstones.
Since the monsters were still far away, Fan Xiao didn't urge him and waited patiently for a few seconds.
After arriving at the tombstone, Gao Wen glanced at the inscription: "Gao Jingshu".
"Date of death: September 27, 2068".
He paused for a second, then used his talent to create a dagger, gripped it tightly in his hand, and forcefully carved a line of words on the tombstone: "My best sister."
Chapter 220 The end of the copy
Fan Xiao activated the "Dust-Free Shield" and led his teammates to the edge of the research institute.
During the journey, three bolts of lightning struck down.
However, they were all blocked by the head maid's protective barrier.
Fan Xiao took out a pebble from his storage space and threw it forward. The pebble flew at an extremely fast speed towards the forest outside the research institute without encountering any obstacles.
The invisible barrier has disappeared.
The "crack" sound I heard earlier was indeed the sound of the barrier shattering.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao no longer had any concerns and led his teammates to fly over the wall and arrive outside the research institute.
They had just left when another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky above the research institute.
The lightning suddenly veered off course and struck them from outside the research institute.
However, when the lightning approached the area above the wall, it seemed to hit the surface of a lake, causing ripples in the air, and the lightning was suddenly bounced away and dissipated.
The invisible barrier has reappeared.
Soon after, the other psionic monsters inside the research institute also rushed to the entrance.
Fan Xiao and his group of five saw mirrors flying towards the front, crashing into the main entrance one after another, only to be bounced back by the invisible barrier, shattering and making a constant cracking sound.
The special mirror that could connect to the world within the mirror shattered just like an ordinary mirror.
All five of them were somewhat surprised to see this.
Immediately afterwards, children's laughter came from inside the research institute.
However, after hearing the laughter, the five people did not experience the same persistent twitching of their lips as they had the previous night.
After being filtered through an invisible barrier, the laughter no longer seemed to possess any strange power.
The mirror monster and the laughter monster were both intercepted by the blockade monster.
