There are always inconsistencies in the details of a lie, and it will eventually be exposed.
However, if it develops to the stage of "actively filling in the blanks," there is basically no possibility of being exposed.
As a player recognized by the "Key of Mammon," and as a "kind" recognized by Wu Tongyue... in short, in the eyes of his siblings from the same year and month, he was already a complete villain.
This means that if he tells the truth, those two guys will absolutely not believe him and will definitely guess the opposite.
Fan Xiao had no idea what they would imagine, nor did he need to know.
At this point, he has already concealed his true intentions.
As expected, Wu Tongyue disregarded any semblance of girlish reserve and raised her hands, making two international friendship gestures to Fan Xiao.
Wu Tongnian, who was next to her, also cursed, "You... are you trying to pull off another big stunt? You've kept it from us? Are we even brothers anymore?"
"Hehe...believe it or not, it's up to you."
Fan Xiao said nonchalantly, "Remember to pass on a message for me after the goods are delivered—this is a gift from a kind person."
"Kind person... stop disgusting me!"
Wu Tongnian's curiosity grew stronger: "You're definitely plotting something! What is it?"
"I have already told you my purpose, but you do not believe me. What can I do?"
Fan Xiao sighed softly, "I didn't have a choice before, but now I just want to..."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Wu Tongyue interrupted Fan Xiao, who was about to imitate the lines, and snorted, "We'll take this commission. Bring out the goods; we're in a hurry."
As she spoke, she subtly exchanged a glance with Wu Tongnian.
Even if Fan Xiao doesn't say anything, wouldn't they investigate on their own?
To satisfy their curiosity, they didn't even mind charging less to prevent Van Shaw from thinking they were overcharging and going to other Mammon members.
"It's not convenient to deliver goods here, we need to find another place."
Fan Xiao smiled and said, "But there's no need to rush. Let's eat first."
He noticed Wu Tongyue's subtle actions.
But he doesn't care.
These two were already convinced he was a scoundrel. If they launched an investigation, the opposite of what they expected would only increase their suspicions and lead them to speculate about the facts in an even more distorted way.
It must be said that the recognition of the "Key of Mammon" is a very good protective shield.
Once the premise that he was the ultimate scoundrel was established, no matter what good things he did, his "peers" would smear him.
After the meal, Fan Xiao and his siblings, who were born in the same year and month, left the restaurant and headed to a base the two siblings had in Roman City.
The delivery was completed very quickly.
After that, he left the base and got into a car heading to Rice Estate.
From the moment he met the two siblings, he never stopped opening the dungeon entrance.
After all, the two were relatively skilled B-level players. He wasn't that careless to meet them so hastily without any precautions.
Inside the car, Yan Keke's image appeared, and she actively created a soundproof illusion.
"So Brother Fan's plan is to have Mammon's people deliver the goods..."
Yan Keke asked, "But in this way, the Guangyao Society still won't know that they owe us a favor, right? Won't Brother Fan be at a great disadvantage?"
"Don't reveal your real identity for now; the brother and sister will use my fake identity."
Fan Xiao replied, "When you need to use someone's connections, just reveal your false identity. It's just a simple matter of proving something, not troublesome at all."
"Then... what if they find out that Brother Fan is actually a good person?" Yan Keke asked worriedly.
"I like to hear that."
Fan Xiao patted Yan Keke's hair, as if rewarding her.
He knew that the "they" the little girl was referring to was the brother and sister.
He smiled and said, "People only see what they want to see. They both want to cause trouble, so naturally they hope that my heart is black too."
"They'd rather believe I'm plotting something against the Radiant Society so they can get involved and join in the revelry. Those two were really crazy at the previous banquet."
"Plus, there's the 'Key of Mammon' certification..."
He paused, then said in a self-deprecating tone, "Don't worry, in their eyes, I'm beyond saving."
……
at the same time.
On the time-space track, a deluxe version of an ordinary train came to a stop.
The white-strapped individuals from Division 001 boarded four aircraft and left the carriage, flying towards the chaotic spacetime where No Island once existed.
Svina and the dog-eared youth stood respectfully behind a middle-aged man, their backs ramrod straight, as if awaiting orders at any moment.
Four days later, Division 001 finally responded to the mass disappearance of the powerful and wealthy.
After gathering clues and intelligence from all sides, they tracked down to this place.
Chapter 282 Tina's Perverse Punishment
Through the aircraft, Svina glanced at the huge crack in the sky, then looked at the empty surroundings, a look of confusion on her face.
"According to the intelligence provided by the church, there should be an island in this place where humans can live normally. In the photos we received, there is no crack in the sky... The environment here has been changed. Could it be because of the battle?"
"If it's a battle, then it's conservatively estimated to be a battle between players of rank A or above."
The dog-eared youth chimed in, "That crack in the sky is enormous. The spatial structure has been damaged to this extent; it's not something an ordinary attack could accomplish. Allen and his group... are probably already in grave danger."
"Your Grace, things seem to have taken an unexpected turn. What should we do next?"
Svetlana asked the middle-aged man standing in front of her.
The middle-aged man is wearing white shoulder insignia... or rather, he is the current director of the 001 Division Air Service Bureau.
He is also an A-level player.
Just as the saintess had predicted, this incident had blown up too much, resulting in the deaths of too many members of the powerful and wealthy class.
The pressure exerted by various forces made the white epaulettes very uncomfortable.
Left with no other choice, the bureau chief personally led a team to conduct intelligence work.
At this moment, the middle-aged man who was being spoken to looked at the crack in the sky, and his pupils contracted slightly.
A not-so-good guess formed in his mind... but he wasn't entirely sure and needed to verify it.
"How to characterize and handle this matter is a task for later; there's no need to worry too much about it now."
The middle-aged man responded to Sivina's question by saying, "Let's dig out the truth first."
“Your Grace, this area has been severely damaged. It’s unlikely that we can gather any information using technological means.”
While keeping an eye on the aircraft's screen, the dog-eared youth reminded, "The detector detected an extremely powerful energy burst here. The laser beams emitted from here have irregularly bent paths within a one-kilometer radius. The energy that burst here must have been strong enough to forcibly distort spacetime."
"That serious?" Svina frowned. "It seems we have no choice but to use 'Truth Overcomes All.' But..."
She said with a slightly doubtful tone, "This prop... doesn't seem to be able to perfectly restore the truth? When we used it to investigate the 'Raiser of the Ivy,' we didn't get any useful information."
"Since this area may have been the site of battles between players of rank A or higher, 'Truth Overcomes All' will likely be subject to even greater restrictions, and we probably won't get any useful information."
"Let's give it a try first; we need a result."
The middle-aged man spoke again: "Even if we can't find out information about the person behind the scenes, finding out the fate of the banquet participants shouldn't be a problem."
After saying that, he opened the door of the aircraft and flew out, then turned back and said, "I'm going to take a look. Don't follow me. There are many spatial distortions here, and it's still very dangerous."
"Yes."
Sivina and the others responded respectfully.
The middle-aged man quickly arrived directly below the crack in the sky.
He took out "Truth Transcends Everything" and activated the prop.
As an A-level player, A-level items can naturally perform perfectly in his hands, a feat that his subordinates cannot match.
Soon, "Truth Beyond All" explored the past records of this area, "two-dimensionalized" the truth, and transmitted it into the middle-aged man's mind.
He saw the beautiful island of Nok.
I saw all sorts of people enter Noh Island.
I saw a "carnival" taking place on Nok Island.
Suddenly, the two clowns high-fived each other, and colorful beams of light burst forth from their palms. The beams expanded and grew larger, tearing the entire island of Nodo apart.
Then, a tall, thin man wearing a hat, hiding his face in the shadows, and dressed in gentlemanly attire suddenly stepped forward in a high-profile manner.
Little girls began to appear around him.
The little girls scattered and began to circle around the ruins of the hall.
A beautiful but illusory fairyland was created by them and enveloped everyone.
Finally, everyone collapsed to the ground, the screen filled with red, as if representing death.
After the red light, a new scene appears—a mosaic of human figures waves its hand forward, and then the scene turns pure white.
After the pure white dissipated, a dark crack appeared in the sky, and the remaining island of Nodo beneath the crack vanished without a trace.
This concludes the two-dimensional display.
"They...it seems they were killed by some kind of illusion?"
"Judging from this appearance... it looks a bit like the work of the 'carrot breeder' who's been causing trouble in Roman City lately."
"What's with the last mosaic? It's barely recognizable as a human shape; the information is too vague."
The middle-aged man was puzzled.
After glancing at the prop in his hand, he pondered for a moment and gradually came to an answer.
This answer left him feeling helpless—he probably chickened out again with the idea that "truth transcends everything."
That's right, this A-grade item has its own consciousness.
These days, even summonable items exist, so items with their own consciousness are not uncommon.
However, for players, this is not necessarily a good thing.
Because of the inherent nature of the items, sometimes they can conflict with the player's ideas.
"Truth Overcomes All" is rather cowardly, exhibiting a style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong—something he knew long ago.
Of course, at first he was kept in the dark and thought that the prop was not very effective.
Until one day, an A-level player from another region committed a crime in Roman City, and all the details of the crime were vividly and meticulously described, even the name and identity of the perpetrator were revealed... At that time, he realized that the effect of this item was actually very powerful.
As for its unreliability... I guess it only dares to reveal information to those who pose no threat, but when faced with someone capable of destroying it... it probably wouldn't dare utter a single word.
However, as a prop, it must also deliver a result.
Therefore, it can only abstract and obscure the intelligence it has gathered as much as possible in order to minimize the degree of offending people.
The "ace" of the white shoulder insignia is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong... Even for the sake of face, this kind of thing cannot be spread.
Therefore, it is said that this item is affected by advanced talents, psionic energy, and other items, thus affecting the results of the investigation.
There may be some influence, but how much can be affected by looking at the truth of the past?
Ultimately, it's because this prop is too cowardly.
From this perspective, the final humanoid mosaic...
To be able to compromise on "truth above all else" to this extent, one must undoubtedly be a big shot.
The middle-aged man frowned.
The information gleaned by the tool matched his guess.
A massive spatial rift... Rumor has it that wherever the super player "Destroy the Nation" made his move, traces similar to spatial rifts were left behind.
The one who made the final move was... someone who destroyed the entire nation?
