"Which one is the best? The one who hasn't said a word?" the bald man asked.
The tattooed man nodded: "It's her."
"You think we can just stop robbing like that?" The bald man curled his lip. "If I really have the chance, I'll naturally have to enjoy it too. We should all go together then, instead of trying to hog it all."
“I like that big foreign woman,” the young male player said. “If I have the chance, I want to eat her. You can have the others. I don’t care.”
"Tsk tsk..." the bald man said, "Are young people these days all so picky? Sigh... As you get older, you start to prefer something more delicate and refreshing."
He looked at Fan Xiao and asked, "Brother, which one do you like?"
“I don’t discriminate against men,” Fan Xiao laughed. “Of course I want them all, regardless of gender.”
Of the 19 people who entered the instance this time, only 4 were women.
Guan Yao, the female player with a katana and a high ponytail, and that blonde foreign female player.
His three "teammates"... probably think Mercury is a woman too.
And it was considered the most exquisite one.
For a moment, Fan Xiao didn't know which side to sympathize with.
"As expected, the cannibalistic nature of players is hard to change. Hmm... very good, very good."
He thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction.
He's not afraid of these people being bad, he's afraid of them being good.
He felt no guilt about harming wicked people, but when it came to people of decent character... he found it hard to do it.
"You're amazing! You don't have any dietary restrictions."
The bald man praised.
“Let’s save the small talk for when we have some free time,” Fan Xiao said. “Everyone else has gone to the villa. We don’t want to fall behind. Once those people find the information, they might not be willing to share it with us…”
At this point, he suddenly paused, his pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously tensed his body, preparing for battle.
"what happened?"
The bald man noticed something was wrong with him.
"Look behind you," Fan Xiao reminded him.
Upon hearing this, both the bald man and the tattooed man were taken aback.
They reacted quickly, immediately moving forward a few steps to create distance from their original positions before looking back.
The terrifying scene I had imagined did not occur.
but……
One person is missing.
The young male player has disappeared.
The living, breathing people who were just talking suddenly vanished without a trace... Both the bald man and the tattooed man felt a surge of fear.
Chapter 291 The Method to Enter the Underworld
"Where...where did he go?!"
The tattooed man, tense and alert, asked Fan Xiao, "You're standing right across from us, he's in your field of vision, you should have seen him, right?"
“My eyes were not focused on him the whole time.”
Fan Xiao shook his head: "I only caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye and he suddenly disappeared. As for how he disappeared... I don't know."
"How could someone suddenly disappear..."
The bald man frowned and asked the tattooed man, "Does he have any teleportation devices on him?"
"Do you think that's possible?" the tattooed man replied. "Items involving time and space are all of a higher level. How could a D-level player obtain them?"
He paused, then added, "Besides, Ah Xiong isn't some second-generation player. Our 010 division has only recently been involved in the evolution game, and we don't even know if we have any C-level players yet, so where would we get any high-level items?"
Ah Xiong was his younger brother. Although he looked tall and strong, he was actually quite young, having just graduated from high school not long ago.
Ah Xiong met him when he was still a delinquent in school. They spent two years together, and although their relationship wasn't that of close brothers, it was definitely more than just being acquainted.
He is extremely anxious now that the other party has encountered an accident.
"If it's not a teleportation device, then..."
The bald man turned his gaze away from the tattooed man and looked at Fan Xiao, saying, "I think... your guess has been verified. There is an inner world here, and the space of the inner world will... well, forcibly swallow Ah Xiong."
"If nothing unexpected happens, those who participated in the gathering in the courtyard should have disappeared in the same way."
"We...may also disappear from this place in this way one after another."
"What should we do now?" the tattooed man reminded him. "Ah Xiong just disappeared, he shouldn't be dead yet, there's still hope."
"I'm warning you beforehand, if you want to save people, don't drag us into it."
The bald man, disregarding teamwork, said, "We teamed up to support each other, not to drag each other down! If someone needs rescuing, go rescue them yourself, don't drag others along."
"You...you dare say you won't be swallowed up by the other world?"
The tattooed man's face showed a slight anger as he said, "What's the point of teaming up if we don't help each other?"
"Don't give me that nonsense!"
The bald man replied dismissively, "If something really happened to me, would you be kind enough to save me? Hah, do you even believe that yourself?"
"Stop arguing."
Fan Xiao stepped in to smooth things over: "We don't know how to get to the inner world yet. Even if we wanted to save people, we could only wait. There's no point in discussing this now."
"I can't carry this player who can eat people..." he sighed softly to himself.
"and."
Fan Xiao continued, "The missing person may be in danger, but the chances of encountering fatal danger should not be very high."
"Being swallowed into the inner world is uncontrollable; at least I haven't discovered any patterns yet."
"Uncontrollable means that anyone could be the one swallowed up."
"If entering the inner world is equivalent to death, then the difficulty of this instance is far too unbalanced."
Perhaps having accepted Fan Xiao's deduction, the tattooed man, though still frowning, had significantly reduced the anger on his face.
"Let's go gather intelligence first."
After giving a reminder, Fan Xiao headed towards the villa.
Seeing this, the bald man and the tattooed man composed themselves and followed.
Both of them entered a state of preparation, their attention highly focused.
Being swallowed by the underworld may not be dangerous in itself, but the landing point after entering the underworld... If the landing point is random, one bad luck can lead to being surrounded by various crises, so one must be careful.
If we're talking about who's the most relaxed among the three, it has to be Fan Xiao.
He has the strongest confidence.
To some extent, he even looked forward to being swallowed into the inner world so that he could carry out further intelligence gathering.
As for the danger... with the little angel around, he believed he could protect himself without any problem.
Soon, the three entered the villa.
Fan Xiao saw the female player with the katana in the hall; she was leading four subordinates, ransacking the place.
The female player with the katana also saw Fan Xiao and his two companions. The number of them... seems to be one less?
She wasn't too concerned and continued her work while remaining vigilant.
Fan Xiao, accompanied by two "teammates," headed towards the villa's bedroom.
The first bedroom on the side is the largest, and there are several books on the bedside table, indicating that the original owner of the villa had a reading habit.
He picked up several books and looked at their covers; some were about economics, while others were purely literary works.
I flipped through the table of contents, but there didn't seem to be any information worth paying attention to.
The tattooed man and the bald man also picked up the book and looked at it, but they didn't find anything useful either.
The three exchanged a glance, and then began a house-wrecking search, even tearing open and rummaging through the mattress.
However, after making a complete mess of the bedroom, they still couldn't find any clues, so Fan Xiao had to take his "teammates" to another bedroom.
After searching all this way, they soon arrived at a study on the second floor of the villa.
The study was quite spacious, and some people had already gotten there first—a team of players from other regions, including Guan Yao, Tu Shang, and Yin Chen Nan.
They were diligently searching through and reading the books.
With the arrival of Fan, Xiao, and the other two, the study became slightly crowded.
Ignoring the wary gazes of the people opposite him, Fan Xiao walked towards Guan Yao.
Guan Yao was holding a photo album and looking at some of the photos inside.
"How did it go? Any results?"
While asking the questions, Fan Xiaochao glanced at the photo album and found that it contained group photos of students and teachers, somewhat like graduation photos.
There are very few photos of individuals.
"The owner of this villa must be a teacher."
As Guan Yao flipped through the photo album, she replied, "There are many photos of him with the graduating class here."
“That’s pretty much what I guessed,” Fan Xiao nodded and said, “The background information of the dungeon mentions Qingshan Academy. When you think of a school, the first two identities that come to mind are naturally teachers and students.”
Turning his gaze away from the photo album, he continued, "In addition, there's a gathering in this courtyard... maybe it's the graduating class coming back to visit their teachers, so it can be considered another form of class reunion."
"How much have you actually thought of?"
Guan Yao looked up at Fan Xiao and asked curiously.
"Not much, just simple deduction," Fan Xiao laughed. "Besides, that's not the point. The point is how to enter the inner world. Have you found any clues?"
"not yet."
Guan Yao shook her head and said, "There are so many things to look through, it's not that easy."
Aoyama Academy, a class reunion, and all the people who attended the reunion have disappeared... She tries to connect these three things.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of intelligence, she couldn't find a breakthrough.
I wonder if Fan Xiao has thought of anything... This man is very smart.
At this moment, the gloomy man couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to remind Guan Yao, "Which side are you on? They are cannibalistic players!"
"I'm naturally on your side."
Guan Yao smiled slightly and said, "It's just a simple sharing of information. Our current goal is to leave this villa. It's not time for infighting yet."
"Humph……"
The gloomy man snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Fan Xiao left Guan Yao's side and headed towards the direction with the most books.
Because the books had already been searched, the books on the shelf were very messy.
Finding the information you need from so many books is no easy task and will take a lot of time.
Moreover... the information may not necessarily be in the book; the information might be hidden in other unexpected places.
"We need to speed things up."
Fan Xiao took out a small wooden stick from his storage space.
The stick spun deftly in his hand, then its tip pointed in one direction.
He picked up the books that the stick was pointing in, opened them, and glanced at the table of contents.
There were books on self-cultivation, psychology, economics, and novels... but none of them contained what he was looking for.
He hasn't accumulated any luck yet, nor is he in the "lucky blessing" state that comes with making a wish.
Finding books by chance is undoubtedly very unreliable.
