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

If they can't be found in the factory, then it's highly likely... the other person has already been murdered.

He had read the relevant materials and knew very well what fate awaited those who were trafficked.

"Captain, I'm fine."

Ren Fu gently shook his head: "It would be best if we could find it, but if we don't in the end... I'm mentally prepared."

"Xiao Ren, what are you saying!" Captain Qi scolded, "Your brother has only been missing for a few days, how could something happen so quickly? We've all come with you to search for him, have some confidence."

"Don't be so pessimistic."

The frivolous man patted Ren Fu on the shoulder: "Didn't you notice that most of the people locked up here were just tricked into coming here today? There are only a few we haven't seen before."

"I suspect that those who were tricked into coming here were either assigned to some kind of position or sold off."

"Since they are trafficking people, people are very valuable commodities to them, so they will not kill and dispose of them casually."

"Even if they dismantle the body to sell organs, they can first keep the person as a blood slave for a period of time to squeeze out all their value."

"Hmm... Brother Cheng is right."

The college student sighed softly, "It's ironic, really. Such a beastly act is indirectly helping us... Let's hurry up and take action."

The four of them quickened their pace and focused their attention, increasing their speed in observing and searching for people in the detention room.

Upon arriving at the room where "Fan Xiao" and "Lu Baizhi" were being held, the frivolous man's gaze passed through the iron bars and fell upon the "two"... mainly on "Fan Xiao".

Upon seeing the surprised expression on Fan Xiao's face, he grinned mockingly, his eyes filled with contempt, seemingly quite pleased with Fan Xiao's expression.

As if it were a routine matter, he approached the iron bars and said to "Lu Baizhi," "Miss Fan, don't be afraid. We are investigating the surrounding area to confirm the escape route."

"Don't worry, once we find the best route, we'll take you away together."

"Until then, you all need to behave normally. Don't make a fuss or attract those people with knives and guns, and then we'll all be finished!"

After speaking quickly, he asked, "Did you understand?"

"Ok!"

Lu Baizhi nodded vigorously, cooperating fully.

"Fan Xiao" nodded in agreement, his attitude very obedient, showing none of the arrogance he had displayed when acting as the "aggressor," as if he had been frightened.

The frivolous man nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and followed his three teammates forward.

Because they lacked invisibility items, they would reassure the detainees every time they passed a cell to prevent them from shouting and making a commotion that would expose them.

As for whether they will return to rescue people...

If they have the means, they don't mind being good people and accepting some benefits depending on the situation.

If there are any risks... then I can only apologize.

"Wang Cheng, a promise to save lives is just a promise; it depends on the specific circumstances."

Captain Qi glanced at the frivolous man who had followed him and said, "If you can't control your lower body this time and act recklessly again, don't blame me for cutting it off for you!"

"...Captain, please don't suddenly say such scary things, okay?"

The frivolous man said with an unnatural expression, "Don't worry, although that Miss Fan is quite alluring, her life is definitely more important than a woman. I know what's important."

Upon hearing this, Captain Qi looked away and said nothing more.

On the other side, Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi quietly followed behind the four frivolous men.

After taking a few steps, Lu Baizhi couldn't help but say to Fan Xiao, "Fan Xiao, that annoying guy seems to be targeting you. Should we teach him a lesson?"

She pointed to the frivolous man's back.

“I didn’t expect you to be so considerate of me,” Fan Xiao replied casually. “Yes, I’m really touched.”

"It's alright..."

Lu Baizhi blushed slightly and said, "You didn't provoke him, but he inexplicably targeted you. That's so outrageous, I definitely have to say something."

As she spoke, the girl had completely forgotten Fan Xiao's earlier act of pretending to be a gay man to disgust people.

Being love-struck is often accompanied by varying degrees of double standards.

Fan Xiao smiled and said nothing, but simply took Lu Baizhi's fair and soft hand in his.

While suppressing her embarrassment, Lu Baizhi curled the corners of her lips and began to curse the frivolous man in her heart.

Of course, calling it a curse shouldn't be taken too far.

I just... I curse this guy to trip and fall flat on his face.

A moment later, Captain Qi, who was walking at the front, suddenly paused.

The three college students noticed his unusual behavior and stopped in their tracks.

The college student was the first to ask, "What's wrong, Captain?"

"Have you noticed that the air around us seems a little cooler than before?"

Captain Qi looked around and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"A little cooler?" The frivolous man raised his arm, carefully feeling the coolness with his exposed skin as he said, "Now that you mention it, Captain... it does seem a bit cooler?"

"I don't feel anything."

The dark-skinned young man, Ren Fu, shook his head.

The college student asked suspiciously, "I think I sensed something? But it's very slight, almost imperceptible."

“That should be right,” Captain Qi said. “The strength of perception is related to mental strength. Your two evolution rates are higher than Xiao Ren’s. He doesn’t feel anything, but you do, which is normal.”

He looked thoughtful: "A mental sensation... doesn't seem to be a real temperature drop?"

The tool he currently carries for mental communication has a secondary effect: amplifying mental power.

Although the amplification effect wasn't significant, it still made his perception stronger than that of a typical D-level player.

Qi Tongwei did not ignore this strange feeling and seized the opportunity to investigate the surrounding area, trying to find the source of the anomaly.

The result was fruitless.

"……never mind."

In the end, he shook his head: "This probably has nothing to do with Xiao Ren's brother. Let's suppress our curiosity."

"I only felt a very slight sensation, so I didn't care. Why would I be curious?"

The frivolous man shrugged and said, "But you, Captain, why are you getting hung up on such trivial matters?"

Haven't you heard of the sixth sense?

Captain Qi said, "The player's mental power may seem to have no effect, but its effects are actually manifested in some places that are not easy to detect."

"I thought it was my intuition giving me a clue, but it wasn't... Oh well, let's keep looking."

"Ok."

The frivolous man nodded.

The four maintained their original pace and continued walking forward.

"Are you looking for me...?"

Suddenly, a hoarse, deep voice rang out from behind them.

A chilling sensation ran down my spine, as if something cold was clinging to my back.

The four of them turned around almost simultaneously and saw a female corpse, swollen and rotting from being submerged in water, appear before them.

The woman's pale skin was covered in wrinkles, and dripping, foul-smelling water droplets kept dripping from her body.

She... or rather, it just stared at the four of them, its rotten glasses seemingly revealing immense malice, and the eerie smile formed by the torn corners of its mouth conveying a chilling coldness.

The four frivolous men's hearts jumped into their throats. Due to the stress reaction, they subconsciously held their breath and froze.

However, being D-level players, they quickly overcame the fear brought on by the sudden situation and charged forward, trying to create distance.

Thump—During his escape, the frivolous man stepped on the floor, which was soaked with sticky, foul-smelling water droplets. Because he used too much force, he fell face down on the floor, making a sickening sound and almost knocking out his front teeth.

Ignoring the pain, the frivolous man immediately lay down on the ground and crawled forward quickly using his hands and feet, creating distance in a second or two.

At this moment, Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi realized what was happening.

Fan Xiao once again used illusions to create a cage that bound the swollen female corpse, and summoned illusory flames to scorch her spirit.

His intention was not to attack, but to test.

Soon, the female corpse disappeared again.

However, before it disappeared, Fan Xiao vaguely heard its mournful cries.

It seems the attack from the illusionary flames was effective.

"The fact that it could be attacked has further evidence that it wasn't a hallucination."

"Speaking of which, how did this... let's call it the Bubble Ghost for now, discover me and Gardenia when we were invisible, and then make eye contact with us?"

"Could it be that it has special senses that do not rely on the five senses?"

Upon seeing the female corpse disappear for the second time, Fan Xiao revealed a thoughtful expression.

"It's happened again...!?"

Lu Baizhi exclaimed in surprise.

She felt a little guilty as she shouted.

Because of the appearance of the female corpse, the frivolous man in front was affected and fell flat on his face, his nose bleeding.

Unexpectedly, the curse she casually uttered took effect so quickly.

In other words, this female corpse... was most likely summoned indirectly by her.

How can my luck be so amazing!

She really just cursed randomly...

When Fan Xiao looked at her, Lu Baizhi's eyes darted around, as if she had done something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Fan Xiao asked.

"No, it's nothing," Lu Baizhi said. "There are unknown dangers in this factory. We need to hurry up and not get involved."

"Our speed depends on their speed."

Fan Xiao turned his gaze forward.

At this moment, the four men, including the frivolous man, were looking around warily.

They breathed a sigh of relief after finding nothing amiss.

"What the hell is this?"

Wiping blood from his nose, the frivolous man's eye twitched as he asked, "A prop? Or a female ghost? We've been exposed?"

“If it had really been exposed, it wouldn’t be this big of a scene,” the college student analyzed. “It was probably just an accident. The female corpse was most likely a pre-existing danger in this factory.”

"Whatever it is, let's get out of here first," Captain Qi said. "That thing is unpredictable; who knows if it will suddenly jump out again and attack us? Just to be safe, let's get outside first."

The four exchanged glances, said nothing more, and quickly left the spot.

Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi followed.

"Fan Xiao, tell me... what exactly was that female corpse?"

During their walk, Lu Baizhi asked Fan Xiao a question.

"After ruling out possibilities such as psionic energy, talent, items, and player impersonation, there's only one answer left," Fan Xiao replied. "It's most likely a dungeon phenomenon."

"We're inside a dungeon? No... that doesn't make sense."

Lu Baizhi pondered: "Could it be a copy that is currently being formed?"

“It’s too early to say,” Van Shaw said, “but it’s very likely.”

As they were about to leave the detention area, Fan Xiao stopped talking.

The four frivolous men ahead searched all the way but couldn't find their target.

Seemingly expecting this outcome, apart from the dark-skinned young man Ren Fu who was somewhat frustrated, the other three quickly adjusted their mindset and prepared to capture a few "tongues" to begin interrogation.

They quickly identified the four members of the fraud gang who were guarding the exit.
