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

He was rather thin, and his face showed signs of panic.

He was visibly taken aback when he saw Fan Xiao.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and raised the utility knife in his hand, aiming it at the two men rushing towards Fan Xiao.

The blade of the utility knife was ejected and shattered into tiny pieces in mid-air, flying in an arc towards the two people.

"Divide the troops into two groups!"

A roar came from the second floor.

The torrent of blades shot out by the thin man suddenly split in the middle and rushed to both sides, without harming the two men who were about to capture Fan Xiao.

"Heh... I've really become a player!"

Voices came from the second floor again.

A man with a scar on his face jumped down and landed on the road.

The thin man holding the utility knife immediately became alert upon seeing him: "This has nothing to do with him! I don't know him, don't arrest people randomly!"

The thin man glanced at Fan Xiao.

"It's not up to you. We'll investigate whether he's your accomplice ourselves." The scarred man sneered. "Don't even think about escaping with the train ticket. Otherwise, whether your sister will survive is anyone's guess."

"..."

The thin man frowned deeply: "You bunch of bastards...! So reckless, harming so many people, aren't you afraid...?"

"Aren't you afraid? These poor bastards from the outer district don't even have any identity. Who'll care if something happens to them?"

The scarred man chuckled and said, "Kid, come with us. Now that you're a player, we can save you a potion."

"Don't resist. Think of your sister. She's still in our hands."

On the other side, Fan Xiao, who was in a particularly irritable mood due to recent bad luck, stopped his murderous intent after hearing the scarred man's words and allowed the two men rushing over to restrain him.

This matter seems worth investigating further.

Chapter 245 Side Job

After Fan Xiao decided to give up resisting, she was forcibly dragged into a car next to her by two burly men, like a helpless young girl.

The thin man, his face full of resentment, got into the car without hesitation under the scarred man's cold gaze.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

There were few pedestrians nearby, and almost no one witnessed the looting.

Even if they saw it, they would probably pretend not to see it and leave the scene quickly.

After a roughly 20-minute drive, Van Shaw and the skinny man, whose vision was restricted, arrived inside a luxurious building that seemed out of place in Wayne's neighborhood.

After taking the elevator to the underground floor, the two were pushed and shoved to a room surrounded by a band of light.

Fan Xiao was a little surprised to see the band of light.

Each of the time-space stations under the jurisdiction of Zone 001 has a large number of facilities with similar light strips.

This seems to be a very advanced technology; in terms of blocking power alone, it is probably even more effective than a copper wall or an iron wall.

Fan Xiao naturally wouldn't obediently comply; if he went in and couldn't get out, it would be quite a joke.

So he summoned the instance environment to create an illusion, making the scarred man and the other two believe that he and the skinny man had obediently entered the semi-transparent room.

Even the skinny man himself developed the same perception under the influence of the illusion.

After closing the door to the room with the light, the scarred man pointed at "Fan Xiao" and said to his two henchmen, "Contact Ma Qi and have him come over and interrogate this kid. He's a professional in this line of work."

“Scarface, what if we arrest the wrong person…? How about we use the old method?” one of the henchmen asked.

"of course."

The scarred man chuckled and said, "The area we just visited is mostly in District 015. Even if this guy isn't an accomplice, he's probably from another district."

"Although he wasn't our target, well... we've already arrested him, so let's just make use of him."

"If he's from this district... then teach him a lesson, throw him out, and warn him not to talk nonsense. Remember, when dealing with people from this district, you can't easily cause someone's death!"

“We know that, Scarface,” another henchman replied with a malicious grin. “There are plenty of ways to keep people in line without causing any deaths.”

"As for you..."

The scarred man then looked at the skinny man: "There's a party for those 'old men' tonight, hey...maybe you'll get to perform on stage soon. Of course, your sister might be the first to go on stage."

"You bunch of bastards...!"

The skinny man gritted his teeth and said, "If anything happens to my sister, none of you will live!"

"Heh, kid, whether you can survive is still an unknown."

The scarred man sneered, "Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about your own life first!"

"Why!" the skinny man shouted angrily, "What did we do to offend you?!"

"Tsk tsk, look at your eyes, they're really scary."

Meeting the skinny man's resentful gaze, the scarred man shrugged and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm just someone who does things for money."

"The real perverts are those rich bastards and those noble gentlemen. If they didn't have these kinds of perverted fetishes and wanted to see some shady and exciting things, why would we bother you poor bastards?"

"Where there is demand, there is supply, understand?"

"What do you want from us?!"

The skinny man growled.

"Accept your fate, kid," the scarred man said coldly. "No one who goes in here ever gets out..."

"Who said there isn't?" Fan Xiao interrupted him, "Aren't you human?"

"..."

“You’re not human, but I am, and I’m a noble citizen of this district.” Fan Xiao said disdainfully, “You’ll send me out the same way you sent me in.”

The scarred man's gaze shifted towards Fan Xiao.

He was surprised at first, then his eyes turned strange as he said, "I hate being interrupted when I'm speaking! Kid, even if you really are from this district, before I throw you out, I'll teach you a lesson in manners. Heh... I guarantee you'll never forget it!"

"How terrible."

Fan Xiaobang read a sentence.

"Heh, you're pretty arrogant!" the scarred man said with a twisted smile. "I'll have someone play with you slowly later!"

After uttering those harsh words, he ignored Fan Xiao and turned back to the thin man, saying, "Don't hold a grudge against me, kid. There's one thing you can rest assured about: as the one who brought you here, I will collect your and your sister's bodies. In a foreign land, you all need a place to be buried in the end."

"Oh, by the way, your sister... I must say she's quite attractive. If she survives tonight's event, I might even take good care of her for you, haha..."

After saying that, he laughed arrogantly a few times.

He then instructed one of his two henchmen, "Ah Liang, you stay here and keep an eye on them. Attack the room from time to time, and don't let this kid get out of combat mode and use the ticket."

As long as you're willing to bear the subsequent costs, it's acceptable to use the ticket but not go to the instance.

We'll have to put in some effort to prevent the "goods" from escaping.

The scarred man then said to another henchman, "Let's go out first."

Upon hearing this, neither of the two henchmen responded, standing motionless as if frozen in time.

Even the expressions on their faces froze.

"Let's go," the scarred man called out again.

But the two remained unmoved.

"You...what's going on?"

This unusual scene made the scarred man wary.

Even if it's a joke, you have to choose the right time!

Out of instinct, he took several steps back and stared intently at the two of them.

At this moment, the two finally reacted.

They turned their gaze to the scarred man, their mouths twitching into eerie smiles.

The two men stared intently at the scarred man, making him feel uneasy.

The scarred man tried to avoid their gaze.

But wherever he went, the two of them could see him, as if they had locked onto him.

"Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost!"

The scarred man let out a cold snort and took out a prop to launch a probing attack.

"The autumn wind that refuses to remain silent!"

After his deep voice, a light white storm, like a shockwave, was generated from his hand and blew forward.

The storm didn't affect anything else; it only struck the two henchmen who were wearing eerie smiles.

After the violent impact, the two remained standing still, their eerie smiles unchanged.

The only change was that their smiles grew wider and wider.

It looked as if it was about to crack open.

Upon seeing this, the scarred man's expression changed, and he could no longer remain calm.

Suddenly, the two men moved!

The scarred man slowly walked over.

The scarred man immediately tensed up, feeling puzzled, and prepared to run away.

So weird!

This happened out of nowhere.

He's just an E-level player, and the current situation is clearly beyond his capabilities.

The two were getting closer and closer.

The scarred man seized his chance and tried to escape through the entrance he had come from.

At that moment, all the lights in the underground space went out simultaneously.

The already enclosed environment immediately became pitch black after losing its only source of light.

The scarred man paused in his movements.

His vision was suddenly taken away, and he dared not move again, overwhelmed by immense fear.

"what……!"

“Help! Help…”

Suddenly, screams rang out from inside the light-filled room.

The sound was like a scythe that would snatch away a soul, making the scarred man's nerves tense. Unable to bear the fear any longer, he ran towards the exit as if by instinct.

The next second, the lights in the underground space came back on.

The scarred man subconsciously glanced back, but Fan Xiao and the thin man were no longer in the room.

His two henchmen, who had been grinning strangely, also disappeared.

He was the only one who stayed behind.

"what is going on……!?"

The scarred man grew increasingly frightened and, not daring to linger, ran out under the light.

Once he took the elevator to the ground floor and saw the open space outside, the oppressive feeling in his heart began to lessen.

The fear also subsided somewhat.

"Phew... This is really weird! How could something like this happen!?"

The scarred man was panting heavily.

"Have a drink."
