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

This pervert... he actually saw through it all along!?

So he even came over specifically to ask... was he teasing her?

Thinking of this, anger flashed in the hooded girl's eyes: "You..."

"You don't believe that nonsense, do you? There's no such thing as psychic power, a useless psychic power specifically designed to see through game classes?"

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "But... judging from your reaction, I actually guessed right? Tsk tsk... I can only say that you can't judge a book by its cover."

"..."

The hooded girl's shoulders trembled slightly, revealing a state of mind befitting her age.

Just as she was about to unleash her fury, she exclaimed, "Huh? It's already 5:40..."

Fan Xiao suddenly exclaimed in surprise and frowned, "We need to speed things up. The game says that nighttime is extremely dangerous, and we don't know what might happen then."

"We'd better gather as much intelligence as possible before nightfall."

"..."

The hooded girl suppressed the raging anger within her.

She started walking again, heading towards her destination.

That freak is right, now is not the time to be angry.

Once the dungeon is over, I'll find a chance to teach this guy a lesson!

Without another word, the two arrived at the house that Carmen had visited before leaving, at the fastest speed an ordinary person could achieve.

Carmen the Demon King took a pair of twin sisters from this family.

Upon reaching the door, Fan Xiao muttered to himself, "Do you think Carmen the Demon King likes to play with twin sisters? And even twins... Tsk tsk, he's got quite the tricks up his sleeve."

"Shut up."

The hooded girl scolded him.

Given Carmen's previously displayed upright character, how could he possibly do such a despicable thing?

This guy judges others by his own standards; he's a pervert himself, so he sees everyone else as a pervert!

Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly.

well.

First impressions are hard to change.

Now that his junior sister has decided he's a scoundrel, even if he were to reveal his great personality and noble character again in the future, she'd probably think he was just pretending.

It seems... I won't get into any romantic entanglements this time.

An upright junior sister can't possibly fall for a scoundrel, can she?

Fan Xiao was very pleased.

Even if the relationship isn't perfect in the future, it doesn't matter, as long as we're proper senior and junior brothers and sisters and fellow disciples.

"If... well, I mean if."

"If my junior sister can fall for me, I'll livestream myself eating pomegranates while doing a handstand right now."

Fan Xiao wanted to say a few harsh words to himself.

But then I thought, why bother to heal myself?

Yes—after tricking the hooded girl into revealing that she possessed both psychic abilities and the assassin class in the game, he was almost 100% certain that she was the target he was looking for.

Soon, the two who knocked on the door were greeted by a middle-aged woman with her hair tied up in a bun.

Fan Xiao got straight to the point: "We need to stop Hell from invading and save the world. For this, we need your cooperation in answering a few questions."

The middle-aged woman immediately recognized the two men as "mercenaries" and nodded, saying, "Go ahead and ask."

"Why did Carmen want to take those twin sisters from you?" Fan Xiao asked, getting straight to the point.

"Twins...they are not actually my children."

The middle-aged woman sighed and explained, “Two years ago, a man wearing a cloak and hood brought the twins to my house, gave me a large sum of money, and told me to take good care of them.”

"The man gave Lina and Melissa... those are the names of twin sisters. He put two different shaped pendants on Lina and Melissa respectively, and told me that someone would come to me with two other pendant halves. At that time, I would have to allow them to take Lina and Melissa away."

"And the Demon King is the one who possesses the pendant."

At this point, a worried expression appeared on her face. "Lina and Melissa are both very cute and obedient... If the other party weren't the Demon Lord, I wouldn't have given them up! I wonder if they'll be able to adapt to their new lives after leaving here..."

"Was the hooded man who contacted you two years ago similar in build to Carmen the Demon King?"

Fan Xiao interrupted the woman's reminiscence.

The woman shook her head: "I know what you want to ask. They are not the same person. I can tell the difference."

"Did Carmen say where they were going?" Fan Xiao continued, "Or...did you ask where he was taking the sisters? And...what is their relationship?"

The woman shook her head: "When the Demon King left, he didn't say anything. But... I could tell that he liked Lina and Melissa very much, like a kind elder."

"Is it……"

Fan Xiao seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked some more detailed questions.

For example, how old are those twins?

The woman only mentioned the two sisters' age, 13, and shook her head to answer all other questions.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao had no choice but to give up and leave the woman's house with the hooded girl.

After finding a secluded spot, Fan Xiao asked the hooded girl, "What do you think those twin sisters, Lina and Melissa, are to Carmen the Demon King?"

"It sounds like... a daughter."

The hooded girl said, "The twins were sent to Longxi Village two years ago. Although they weren't the Demon King Carmen, that doesn't prove anything. It's perfectly feasible to send them through someone else."

The background information of the instance mentions that both King Caesar and Demon King Carmen were born in the year 823 of the continental calendar.

In the year 855 of the Continental Calendar, humanity erupted into a new round of struggle for power and resources, with Silver City and Obsidian City clashing in their first battle... which is now.

Based on this timeline, both King Caesar and King Carmen are 32 years old this year... This instance world seems to be from a bygone era, where men and women should get married very early, so it's reasonable for a 32-year-old to have two 13-year-old daughters.

She did a mental analysis.

He added, "Of course, the twins could also be the daughters of Carmen's friend. Anyway..."

The hooded girl revealed a sharp, cold look in her eyes: "It's impossible for me to think like a pervert like you, a female slave or a mistress."

"Hehe, you know quite a lot, little beauty." Fan Xiao grinned and said, "You must have read quite a few erotic works, right? How about it, do you want to put it into practice with me... Okay, let's get down to business, don't glare at me yet."

After a slight cough, he said seriously, "Let's go and look around Longxi Village. Carmen the Demon King and his two daughters... well, let's assume the twins are daughters for now. They might be in the vicinity."

"What are your reasons for this judgment?" the hooded girl asked.

"Well... it's a long story."

Fan Xiao explained, "Carmen the Demon King appeared in Longxi Village and stopped and repelled the army. As long as the army's leaders have a little bit of sense, they wouldn't dare to send people over to carry out any more massacres."

"After all, if you can encounter the Demon King Carmen here once, there is a very high probability that you will encounter him a second time. And the second time... since he is a Demon King, he must have some temper, right? I don't want to leave millions of corpses and bloodshed for thousands of miles, but at least he should teach a group of people a lesson to establish his authority, such as breaking bones and tendons."

"Therefore, according to normal logic, Longxi Village is actually the safest place in this war at this moment."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Carmen is, after all, the king of a race; he wouldn't be so unaware of this."

“If he wanted to protect his two daughters, he shouldn’t have taken them away.”

"But he took it...why?"

“He has other enemies,” the hooded girl quickly deduced. “And these enemies aren’t human; humans wouldn’t dare offend him.”

This answer also explains why Carmen sent her daughter to Longxi Village to be cared for by others—because there were enemies there, it would be too dangerous to place her loved ones in a conspicuous place nearby.

By concealing the identities of his daughters, or rather... concealing the fact that he has daughters, and letting them live ordinary, unremarkable lives, he would naturally avoid attracting the attention of the enemy.

This is undoubtedly the safest approach.

but……

A deep sense of doubt arose in the hooded girl's heart.

What enemies could Carmen possibly have?

According to the background information of the dungeon, the two kings possess invincible strength within their own race.

They are most likely the strongest in this instance world.

How could such a being possibly have enemies?

Which enemy would dare to lay a hand on Carmen's daughter?

This is so contradictory!

Fan Xiao seemed to sense what the hooded girl was wondering, and a smile played on his lips as he said, "What's wrong? Can't figure out why the Demon King Carmen has enemies?"

"..."

The hooded girl did not reply.

Having her thoughts read by a pervert, she felt only coldness and anger.

Fan Xiao didn't keep his junior sister in suspense. He explained the contradiction by telling a story: "32 years ago, I was a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan... or the Celestial Clan, you could say. I lived a life of extravagance and debauchery. When I had nothing to do, I would capture a bunch of beautiful human women to be my slaves, hold lewd parties, and party every night. When I was in a bad mood, I would capture a group of lowly commoners to be my prey and play hunting games with my high-ranking friends. I was very good at archery. With one arrow, I could kill three people like a string of gourds."

“One day, I suddenly learned that the king of the tribe had been born, possessing unparalleled power. I began to panic because... my wife and daughters might be taken by the king as slave girls and used for slut parties. I might also be taken by the king as prey and used for hunting games. The king could shoot an arrow that could pin me to the wall forever.”

“I cannot defy the king, just as those lowly and weak humans cannot defy me.”

"I panicked for a moment, so I had a meeting with my senior friends and finally came up with a clever solution—while Wang is still young and his understanding of the world is still in a state of ignorance, we should shape his values ​​and cultivate him into a selfless and kind person."

"Because good people are the easiest to control and the safest."

"In the end, we succeeded."

After Fan Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the hooded girl, a smile playing on his lips, and asked, "What do you think of this story?"

"..."

The hooded girl remained silent.

Fan Xiao continued, "Carmen... despite being called the Demon King, his personality is anything but demonic. He can't stand the tragedies caused by war, he can't stand the army that massacres villages, and he's single-mindedly trying to stop human civil war and end the endless killing... Don't you think this behavior is too incongruous with his title of Demon King?"

Before the hooded girl could answer, he continued, "As for the other demon race... look at us players, or rather, us mercenaries. If we do something bad in the city, we get labeled as demons. What does that say?"

"That shows the usual behavior of the Demon Clan..." the hooded girl replied, "They're really despicable!"

"Yes, the Demon race's ways are the complete opposite of those of Demon King Carmen. So..."

Fan Xiao chuckled softly, “My story is very likely true. The Demon King and the True King were probably educated crookedly from a young age… no, it can’t be said that they were crooked; they were just raised to be good people.”

After a pause, he concluded, "And good people should be held at gunpoint."

“Heresy!”

The hooded girl seemed to strongly disagree with this conclusion.

Why should good people be allowed to have guns pointed at them?

That doesn't make sense!

Fan Xiao glanced at the girl, chuckled inwardly, and did not refute her.

Arguing with a girl who is only sixteen or seventeen years old is pointless; she has too little experience.

"Never mind whether it's fallacious or not, let's follow this line of thought first."

Fan Xiao continued, getting down to business: "Because of his upright and kind nature, and his noble character, the Demon King Carmen will not easily commit any acts of killing."

"The Demon Clan understands him, and... I suppose the Celestial Clan understands him as well, just like they understand the True King Caesar."

“They knew the Twin Kings wouldn’t kill their own people. Even if a member of their tribe made a mistake, the Twin Kings would patiently correct it and wouldn’t kill them, so…”

He chuckled and said, "Is it strange that Carmen has several enemies?"

"The background information of the dungeon mentions that the Celestial Race and the Demon Race are plotting in secret to achieve a certain goal... Perhaps this goal is to deal with the Twin Kings."

"Dealing with...the Twin Kings?" the hooded girl asked.

"Hmm... let's go back to the story we were talking about earlier."

Fan Xiao continued, "I am a high-ranking member of the Demon race. 32 years ago, in order to avoid being pulled down from the top of the food chain, my friends and I raised the Demon King Carmen into an upright person."

"But... it seems we went too far and made this guy too upright."
