Yan Keke is connected to 35 little girls. If she, as the "emotional hub," has a problem, the others will also have problems.
If it really comes to that, it will be very troublesome.
"Why are we talking about her?" Fan Xiao patted Yan Keke's head. "Let's go shopping together. We'll go back to the manor tonight."
"Ah."
Perhaps it's a girl's nature, but Yan Keke's attention immediately shifted upon hearing the word "shopping".
Fan Xiao took her hand and disappeared into the crowd.
……
No. 240, Yuluo Street.
The warm-toned lighting created a banquet atmosphere in the villa's first-floor hall.
The punk girl sat on the edge of the table, blowing a huge bubble from her chewing gum, her two legs, encased in black and red striped over-the-knee socks, swaying back and forth.
She seemed bored.
that's the truth.
She was boredly waiting for her older brother to finish that damn call from his employer.
The punk guy was sitting on a sofa not far away.
The entire lobby on the first floor was filled with his roar: "I'll say it again! The task you entrusted did not have a deadline. So what if we failed a few times? Your impatience is your problem, not ours. Mammon's reputation is not for you to question."
He was holding a paper cup telephone in his hand.
This is a prop; he seems to be talking to some mysterious person.
A few seconds later, a deep voice came from the paper cup phone: "Don't play word games with me and nitpick over meaningless details. You've failed twice in a row. Is this the credibility and competence of Mammon?"
“We’ve only failed once. As for the robbery before that, I wasn’t the one leading the team, so don’t try to pin it on your father.”
The punk guy stated it logically.
He sounded a little frustrated as he said this.
Yes, the hijacking attempt failed more than once.
It happened twice, and the goods were lost both times.
The time before last, he heard that the train conductor detached the carriages immediately, causing the following carriages to lose their direction and eventually derail, falling into the spacetime turbulence and disappearing.
My sister's last attempt also failed, and a whole truckload of fantasy matter disappeared.
He seriously suspected that Mammon had recently been experiencing some bad luck.
"..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
He was probably suppressing his anger.
Soon, the deep voice reappeared: "How do you explain the murder you committed in Star Memory City? Because you acted recklessly, my plans were affected."
"Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters."
The punk guy replied, "Those idiots dared to curse at me! I fucking hate foul-mouthed, uncivilized trash the most! That's a personal grudge, and I have to fight back."
"Then how do you explain the missing goods on the train? You didn't take them, the train conductor didn't take them, so how did they disappear?"
"We're only responsible for robbing and delivering the goods. How would I know if they're missing? Do you think I'm some kind of detective?"
"..."
The person on the other end of the phone had lost count of how many times they'd been speechless today.
The punk man continued, "Mammon's reputation is naturally solid, you can rest assured about that. The first two times were just accidents and bad luck. We will definitely succeed next time."
"You make it sound so easy. Every time I leak train information to you, I have to take a certain risk."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "I'm giving you one last chance. If you still fail... humph, our deal is over! I'll get someone else to do this."
"Let me make this clear in advance: if you terminate the transaction on your own initiative, that's your own problem, and we won't refund your deposit."
"...Wait for my notification."
The phone hangs up.
Seeing this, the punk man put the paper cup into his storage space.
He then got up from the sofa, went to the punk girl's side, and said, "Sis, can you be a little more reliable next time? If you fail again, our organization's reputation will really be in trouble."
"Last time was an accident, I guess I was just unlucky... no, I was very lucky, I met a new fellow countryman."
The punk girl spat her bubblegum onto the floor and replied, "It's just a batch of goods. We can team up next time, grab it, and send it over."
“Don’t come with me on those deliveries next time,” the punk guy said. “I’m so fed up! Star Memory City is full of cannibalistic players. If I let you go with me, how much trouble will you cause me?”
"Huh? Last time, didn't you help me kill most of them?"
"That's because those idiots have foul mouths. I hate swearing trash the most."
"Oh."
The punk girl responded dismissively, her attitude perfunctory.
The punk man glanced at the unconscious, one-armed man on the ground and asked, "Why didn't you kill him?"
The man was the train conductor from before; he had absolutely no backbone.
They confessed everything after I just cut off one of their hands; it was no challenge at all.
“I promised him that I wouldn’t kill him as long as he honestly told me the information.”
The punk girl retorted, "Dude, are you even one of Mammon's men? Businessmen are supposed to be trustworthy, don't you understand that?"
"You bastard... last time you promised not to kill someone, why did you kill them in the end?"
"That player is a cannibal. I find him disgusting. I only keep my word with people, not with disgusting people."
"It doesn't matter," the punk girl said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, the punk guy gave a thumbs up: "You're awesome! You don't even try to hide your double standards."
“You’re the one with the double standards,” the punk girl retorted. “You have a foul mouth, but you won’t let others swear.”
"Heh... You should be so glad you're my sister."
After cursing, the punk guy got down to business: "How did the interrogation go?"
"The other party seems to be a royal guard. He appeared in the procession last time to accompany and protect a little princess. Otherwise... he should be in Roman City."
The punk girl took out her phone, opened a page, handed it to the punk guy, and said, "Take a look at the last wanted criminal. I feel like it's him."
"Wow? He's a wanted criminal so quickly? That's pretty scumbag, I like it."
The punk guy took the phone: "Let me see... The 'Lotus Raiser'? Are you sure it's him? What's your basis for judgment?"
"He can summon two lolis."
The punk girl said, "The people killed by the 'Raising Lolita' had no obvious physical injuries; it was more like brain death caused by spiritual death."
"Coincidentally, he's quite good at mental illusions, so he probably doesn't lack offensive mental abilities either."
"Moreover, he is currently in Roman City."
"Considering all these factors, there is a high probability that he is the one who raises the ivy."
"Isn't that a rather weak excuse?"
The punk guy said speechlessly, "They seem to have been in Roman City for a while, while the 'Lotus Raiser' only appeared recently."
"According to what you've said, since he's always harbored a murderous nature, he must have been secretly killing people in the past."
"The person who raises the 'Lotus' is clearly killing people indiscriminately, which is inconsistent with his style."
"Just a guess."
The punk girl braced herself with both hands, stepped off the edge of the dining table, and placed her feet on the floor: "Let's go, let's go ask that little princess for more information."
The two left the villa and headed into the city.
The punk girl was very patient in her search for this.
Since their employers couldn't provide any new train information for the time being, she had plenty of time before the official work began.
However, to the siblings' surprise, they encountered Fan Xiao walking towards them not long after leaving the villa.
Chapter 255 The Strength of a Rank B Player
Outside Anli Park.
Streetlights illuminated the rubberized pavement near the block.
The punk girl and punk boy, having left the villa, headed to the intersection to catch the vehicle they had come in to return to their hideout.
Just then, a middle-aged man with blond hair and a burly build walked towards us... or rather, a man approaching middle age.
With his arrogant appearance, disdainful eyes, and height of over 1.9 meters, you could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.
However, after the punk girl caught sight of him, her attention was elsewhere.
A mental fluctuation... She subconsciously took a closer look.
With the aid of her powerful mental strength, she quickly saw through the illusion and recognized the true face hidden beneath the mask.
In an instant, her walking motion suddenly stopped, and she quickly stepped back a distance.
The punk guy noticed his sister's strange behavior immediately, and in a flash, he disappeared from where he stood and reappeared beside her.
"Brother, that's him."
The punk girl pointed at the man in front of her, her expression surprised and her tone full of unexpectedness: "To think we'd run into each other here... I'm starting to believe in fate now, hehe."
"Now that the person has been found, there's no need to go to that little princess anymore, which saves a lot of trouble."
The punk guy stared at Fan Xiao, scrutinizing him closely.
He had already learned about the other party's basic information from his sister, and knew that the other party was good at manipulating mental illusions.
With this in mind, he immediately activated his "Amplification" talent, temporarily amplifying his mental resistance.
Although this buff cannot be maintained indefinitely, it is sufficient to deal with immediate troubles.
The next second, he saw Fan Xiao's true appearance and location.
Unlike them who retreated, Fan Xiao took a few steps forward, closing the distance between them.
The illusion of the "blonde, burly man" began to retreat with a wary expression, revealing a deep sense of apprehension towards them.
The real person quietly approached, while the dummy pretended to back away... probably trying to sneak up and take care of them.
The punk man knew that his opponent also possessed a rather powerful close-range attack capability.
In close combat, its attack effectiveness almost completely overwhelms B-level players.
How insidious... The punk guy and punk girl sped up, creating distance in one go, thwarting the opponent's sneak attack strategy.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao had no choice but to stop and observe, becoming wary and preparing for battle.
*Thud*—A wound silently appeared on his back, blood gushing out and turning into sharp blades, disappearing into the shadow cast by the streetlights.
He naturally remembered what the punk girl looked like; she wasn't disguised at all, and he recognized her at a glance.
The punk guy next to her... judging from their similar temperament and appearance, he should be a relative of the punk girl.
Judging from his age, he should be the older brother.
The sense of crisis he felt from the punk guy was even more intense than that from the punk girl.
He can't even beat one person, let alone two people combined.
Fan Xiao's body tensed, and although he remained outwardly calm, he secretly prepared to flee.
If you can't fight, run away!
Although he is only a D-level player, in terms of escape ability, even an A-level player might not be able to beat him.
When faced with insurmountable danger, simply head to "Fairy Tale Town"—it's a simple, direct, and efficient solution.
However, going back to partition 001 is more complicated.
