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

"It was precisely because he frequently caused us trouble, preventing us from having sex parties, hunting, and even rebelling against us in order to protect humans, that this guy injured me and my friends."

"We... are furious, extremely furious! We won't be satisfied until we kill him!"

"..."

The hooded girl opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

This story sounds a bit far-fetched, but logically... it's not wrong.

And reality is often just that magical.

She couldn't find a way to refute it.

"Let's go, let's search the area for the twins. Don't overthink it."

Fan Xiao reminded the hooded girl, "The reason why Carmen the Demon King and Caesar the True King would appear in Longxi Village is... well, I guessed it."

"One came to see his daughter, and the other came with a friend to see his friend's daughter."

"But... the Twin Kings' indifference to the intrusion of Hell remains a contradictory point of doubt."

"It's getting late. We need to try to find the twins before dark. Maybe they know something about the invasion of Hell, or even... they know where the 'Tomb of Guilt' is. After all, they are key figures in the dungeon."

The hooded girl didn't reply, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Carmen and the twins are very likely nearby—Fan Xiao has figured out why she came to this conclusion.

The Demon King took the twins away—this sent a signal to the outside world that the Demon King's daughter was no longer in Longxi Village.

This signal will be received by the Demon King's enemies.

If the Demon King were to quietly return to the vicinity of Longxi Village and settle down at this time, he could likely live peacefully for a while without worrying about his daughters being drawn into any conspiracies or schemes. Well, the Demon King's enemies certainly wouldn't dare to attack him directly, as that would be suicidal, so they could only resort to some schemes and plots.

Of course, the enemy might also realize that the Demon King has returned to Longxi Village.

But this is a chain of suspicion, and the guessing will go on and on without end.

Now that we've figured out a method, we should try it out first.

In other words, there is a possibility that the sisters Lina and Melissa live near Longxi Village.

After figuring things out, the hooded girl no longer hesitated and, together with Fan Xiao, began a thorough search of the area surrounding the village.

After leaving Longxi Village, once out of sight of the dungeon's inhabitants, revealing one's strength will not cause any trouble.

With the physical abilities of a C-level player, the search efficiency is quite high.

However, the hooded girl didn't actually have high expectations.

The twins are nearby—this is just one possibility.

However, to her surprise, she and Fan Xiao found their target in just over half an hour.

Chapter 417 Junior Sister, Why Are You in Such a Hurry?

About 7 kilometers away from Longxi Village, Fan Xiao and the hooded girl saw a few wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.

The two immediately slowed down, disguised their physical abilities, and approached as ordinary people, observing from a distance.

Ahead in the distance stood a brand-new wooden house, seemingly built not long ago. The house was situated beside a small river, making it easy to fetch water.

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl moved to different positions and adjusted their angles, finally seeing the two girls busy in the kitchen through the window.

The two looked remarkably alike, differing only in their hairstyles and clothing.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should be the twins from Longxi Village.

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl did not approach immediately, but continued to lie in wait and observe for about ten minutes.

Only after confirming that Carmen was not there did they relax their vigilance slightly.

At the same time, some doubts arose in my mind.

"Carmen, you're so careless..."

The hooded girl frowned and murmured something.

He actually abandoned his own daughter... I'm sure it's his daughter, in this kind of place and left. Isn't he afraid something might happen to her?

She was somewhat speechless.

Does Carmen truly care about her daughter?

"It doesn't necessarily mean they're carefree."

Fan Xiao speculated, "None of our previous guesses have been supported by direct evidence. Perhaps... what Carmen the Demon King has been doing all along isn't hiding her daughter's whereabouts, but rather hiding the fact that she has a daughter. Or perhaps..."

After thinking for a moment, he offered another possibility: "Carmen's enemies have known for a long time that he has a daughter, but he himself believes that he has hidden it very well and has never been exposed, so... that's why he is so careless?"

"Carmen, you can't be that stupid, can you?" The hooded girl was a little skeptical.

“You’re looking at the problem from an outsider’s perspective… no, you’re looking at it from God’s perspective.”

Fan Xiao shook his head: "From the very beginning, the background of the instance reminded us that the Celestial Race and the Demon Race had ulterior motives, which is why we were able to step outside the situation and analyze the contradictions and details."

"If it weren't for this intelligence, who would have thought that the Celestial Race and the Demon Race would dare to go against the strongest in their own clan group?"

"You could have figured that out yourself..." the hooded girl thought to herself.

"And you said it was stupid..."

Fan Xiao continued, "Who says a demon king has to be a wise man? Carmen, the demon king, can't even be considered a qualified king. If we have to say... he can only be considered a good person with great power."

Since the demon race intends to cultivate Carmen's "distorted" values, they naturally cannot allow her to be too intelligent.

Wisdom requires the accumulation of countless pieces of knowledge; it's not just about talent.

Otherwise... the story of Zhong Yong's tragic fate is known to every household.

In this world without the internet and the information explosion, it is very difficult for people to gain wisdom; they can only rely on the accumulation of life experience.

The most efficient way to acquire sufficient knowledge and wisdom is to read books or consult wise people.

Without books, without anyone to teach... and even if one is instilled with the idea that "knowledge is useless" from childhood, it is hard to imagine how much wisdom a person growing up in such an environment could possess.

They're not some extraordinary genius, born with innate knowledge.

Even the Demon King Carmen couldn't see through the true nature of this war... it was a class conflict.

To truly stop the war, we must first slaughter both the Celestials and the Demons, and then enlighten the people... cough, Fan Xiao composed himself and said, "Let's not worry about what Demon King Carmen is thinking for now. Let's go and contact those sisters and find out if they know any key information."

"Could this be a trap? Is Carmen the Demon King fishing?" The hooded girl remained vigilant.

"If the Demon King had such a sinister mind, how come he couldn't even manage his own people? Why did he have to live a life of hardship with his daughter?"

Fan Xiao shook his head slightly: "Even if it really is a trap, there's no need to worry. As long as we don't reveal our strength, we'll just be ordinary people... or rather, ordinary mercenaries."

"When the soldiers of Silver City killed someone in Longxi Village, Carmen, in his rage, punished them without killing them, but only knocking them away."

"He probably won't make things difficult for us. Besides..."

He looked at the hooded girl and a smirk played on his lips: "Isn't this all there for you? If something really goes wrong, remember to protect me. Without me, you won't be able to get through."

"..."

The hooded girl frowned.

If she could, she naturally wouldn't want to protect such a perverted monster who both eats people and is a lecher.

However, given the current situation, this guy is leading this collaboration, essentially playing the role of the team's "strategist," and his importance is self-evident.

Hmph, just wait until the dungeon ends...

The hooded girl composed herself and walked towards the wooden house.

Fan Xiao followed closely behind.

Even if you do encounter fishing, it's not a big deal.

His confidence doesn't come from his junior sister, but from his little angel.

Upon approaching the cabin, the hooded girl went straight up and knocked on the door.

Soon, Lina, the older of the twins with long hair, opened the door and looked warily outside.

Upon seeing the two people outside, the wariness in her eyes subsided: "Oh, you're mercenaries. What brings you here?"

"We're here to investigate the lighthouse on the Longxi coast. You probably know our purpose, right? To save the world."

Fan Xiao used his old excuse again: "We hope you can cooperate and answer a few questions for us."

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

Lina was not on guard.

Just like answering a mercenary's question, it's a perfectly normal thing to do.

"What is your relationship with Carmen the Demon King?" Fan Xiao asked bluntly.

“He is my and Melissa’s father,” Lina asked doubtfully. “Does this question…have anything to do with stopping the invasion of Hell?”

"Maybe yes, maybe no. I can't answer your question until the investigation is complete."

Fan Xiao then took on the role of the riddle teller: "So... don't overthink it, just answer our questions."

"Ok."

Once the topic of saving the world came up, Lina had no doubts.

Fan Xiao then asked, "Miss Lina, you seem to be an ordinary person? Since Carmen the Demon King is your father, why... did you not inherit the power of the demon race?"

"This……"

Lina hesitated for a moment before replying, "Although Dad is the king of the demon race, Mom... Mom is an ordinary human. Melissa and I were both born as ordinary people and did not awaken the power of the demon race."

"oh……?"

"That's explosive information..." Fan Xiao continued, "Where are your mothers? Why aren't they with you?"

"Mom, she..."

Lina looked sad: "My mother used to live in Silver City. Two years ago, Silver City and Obsidian City had a conflict and sent assassins to cause trouble for each other."

"In that conflict, my mother and many innocent residents were unfortunately caught up in it and died at the hands of the assassins."

"..."

Fan Xiao looked surprised.

He... died?

Two years ago... the time when the twins were sent to Longxi Village coincides with that.

"And then?" Fan Xiao asked, "Did your father... seek revenge?"

"He should...have gone, right?"

Lina looked uncertain as she replied, "That day...that afternoon, Dad stormed out in a fit of rage, and when he came back that evening, he never talked to us about it again."

"So... I think Dad has already taken his revenge, right?"

"..."

Fan Xiao sighed softly to himself.

He couldn't help but recall the two sentences Carmen, the Demon King, had said to Caesar, the True King, back in Longxi Village—

"Caesar, my friend, are you going to stop me again?"

"Okay... this time, I'll give you face again."

The truth is harsh.

Carmen, the Demon King, most likely failed to exact his revenge.

Where did your dad go?

Suddenly, the hooded girl asked, "Isn't he going to stay and take care of you and your sister?"

"Dad is very busy."

Lina shook her head gently: "Silver City and Obsidian City have started fighting again recently, and many people have died. Daddy has to go and stop the war and save people."

"And... he has to go to the rescue secretly, otherwise if Caesar finds out, the two will argue again, and Dad will be stopped."

“Caesar…brother?” Fan Xiao retorted, “Shouldn’t it be uncle?”
