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

The hooded girl asked, puzzled, "How about explaining the truth, clarifying the stakes, and inviting them to join the plan?"

"Tsk tsk... Such youthful thinking. Once the truth is revealed, the situation could change in uncontrollable ways."

Fan Xiao cautioned, "First of all, the concept of reincarnation is too shocking. Even if we can provide a complete logical chain, the evidence is too scarce. I'm afraid most players will only be skeptical."

"Secondly, we both know what kind of people the players are. Once they know that the numbers might represent the number of reincarnations, wouldn't they... go crazy killing each other? The situation could completely spiral out of control without anyone noticing."

"Finally... you'd really trust someone whose background you don't know? You seem to have quite a few numbers..."

"..."

The hooded girl cautiously took a step or two away.

"See, I only mentioned it once, and you've already started to be wary of me."

Fan Xiao grinned and said, "You doubt a player like me with such a noble character and high moral standards, so how can you expect others to control themselves?"

"..."

The hooded girl is a little angry!

She felt like she was being treated like a child.

My self-esteem is a little hurt...

She couldn't refute it, because everything the other person said was true.

“I didn’t see any virtue in you,” she scoffed softly, “but rather your cunning and treacherous nature.”

"Who among those who can reach the C-level player level would be a naive and innocent person?"

Fan Xiao shrugged: "You'll have to cooperate with me later. You don't need to lie. Just stay silent and don't say anything."

"Oh, by the way, my identity in the Silver City faction is a cannibal player, so don't accidentally ruin my chances."

"..."

This guy is really cunning, even pretending to be a cannibal player... The hooded girl was speechless, but didn't say it out loud.

After deciding what to do next, the two fell silent and quietly quickened their pace.

When they returned to Longxi Village, they found that the players from the Twin Cities faction had already returned before them.

……

Outside Longxi Village, 14 players gathered together, exchanging information.

"Brother, have you found anything on your end?" Nei Long asked Fan Xiao. "You didn't even bother to investigate the lighthouse, but instead focused on gathering intelligence in Longxi Village. Could it be that you've discovered something?"

"Yes. We have indeed made a discovery, and a major one at that."

Fan Xiao first recounted the story of the Demon King's twin daughters, then mixed in a lie: "Although the sisters didn't know the existence or exact location of the 'Tomb of Guilt,' they provided a clue."

"Two years ago, King Caesar stopped the Demon King Carmen from taking revenge on humanity for his wife... Well, there's a follow-up to that."

"At that time, although Carmen had to give Caesar face in order to avoid fighting his only friend, the true king, he could not deceive himself. He was undoubtedly angry and remorseful."

"In the end, he disappeared for a period of time with his wife's remains. No one knew where he went, not even his two daughters."

After a pause, he gave a clue: "Afterwards, whenever the Demon King's two daughters asked to pay respects to their mother, the Demon King would tell them, 'Mom is sleeping in a place where humans can never disturb her. We just need to silently bless her.' He used this as an excuse to repeatedly refuse his daughters' requests to pay respects."

"so……"

The samurai head guessed, "Does the 'guilt' in 'Tomb of Guilt' refer to Carmen's guilt towards his wife? Because he compromised with his friend and didn't avenge her?"

"That's probably the case!"

The handsome young man exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that the clue to the 'Tomb of Guilt' would be hidden here! Carmen's wife died in a conflict between human forces, and he certainly doesn't want humans to disturb his wife's peaceful rest after death. Therefore, he will most likely bury his wife in a place that humans will never go."

"That is... hell!"

He concluded, "'The Tomb of Guilt' is in hell! No wonder we couldn't find out about it before."

"It's normal that you can't find out."

The samurai-headed man said with a hint of emotion, "Who would have thought that 'guilt' refers to the guilt of the Demon King Carmen? And the Demon King certainly wouldn't directly name his wife's grave 'Tomb of Guilt.' This is probably a name given by the dungeon, a kind of information hint to us players."

"..."

The hooded girl glanced at Fan Xiao, her wariness growing even stronger.

This man... he's terrifying!

Not only did he fool all the other players with just a few words, but now everyone has deduced conclusions by analyzing his false information, and is therefore in a state of self-satisfaction.

This... he scammed me and I even gave him money?

Speaking of which... could the "Tomb of Guilt" really be the tomb that Carmen the Demon King built for his wife?

Because he feared his wife would be disturbed by humans again, he built the tomb in hell.

She subconsciously became a little confused.

The more I think about it, the more likely this information seems to be true...

"If only I had asked Lina and Melissa where their mother's grave was..." the hooded girl thought to herself.

"No, that's not right! This guy is so smart, he couldn't possibly be like me and forget to ask about this. He didn't ask where the Demon King's wife's grave was the entire time..."

"So, in his reasoning, the tomb of the Demon King's wife is not the tomb of guilt? Otherwise, he shouldn't have made such a mistake."

"He dared to deny this possibility so easily... Could it be that he already has the final answer? Because it hasn't been verified yet, he's keeping it to himself?"

After her analysis, the hooded girl felt she had completely figured out Van Meadows.

She felt a little smug.

However, she quickly frowned again, suppressing this inexplicable emotion.

What's so great about seeing through this guy?

On the other hand, Fan Xiao was unaware that he had left a deep mark on his junior sister's heart, a mark so deep that it could subtly stir her emotions...

Otherwise, he might have to turn into a lecherous old man, spewing vulgarities and even resorting to physical violence, squandering all the goodwill he had built up with the public.

Hmm, he might just grope her leg...

"It seems I'm not the only one who thought of this. However..."

Fan Xiao continued, "The monsters in Hell are not easy to deal with. Finding the 'Tomb of Guilt' like finding a needle in a haystack will not be an easy task."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Nelong then said, "After we entered Hell from the Lighthouse, we tested the effectiveness of defensive items against monsters."

"The distortion damage caused by the monsters erodes our bodies through mediums such as sight, smell, sound, and touch. We have five group defense items that, when used together, can hold off the monster army for nearly 10 minutes."

"It won't work if we go any higher. Once their numbers accumulate to too much, the distortion and pollution will reach a point where they can directly erode without any medium."

“We have 10 minutes of safety time.”

The handsome young man continued, "So, as long as we move every 10 minutes... no, that's too extreme. As long as we change our location every few minutes to avoid the areas where the monster army is concentrated, we can continuously extend our safety time. Hmm, just like going to a beverage shop for a refill."

“If we use this method properly, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we can stay in hell forever without any problems.”

"Constantly relocating..."

Fan Xiao thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that be too risky? What if we're attacked during the transfer..."

"Being too timid will cause you to miss many opportunities to pass the level!"

The samurai-headed youth had a hint of disdain in his eyes, but he concealed it well: "Whether you go or not, we will definitely go looking for that tomb."

"Moreover, the only fixed entrance to hell is the Longxi Coast Lighthouse. Carmen wouldn't have chosen a location too far for his wife's grave, otherwise it would be very inconvenient for him to visit her."

“I think… as long as we use the area near the lighthouse entrance as the center and expand our search outwards, we should be able to find the tomb very quickly.”

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going…” Fan Xiao frowned and asked, “When do you plan to leave?”

"Tonight!"

The samurai-haired youth replied, "Nighttime is extremely dangerous—who knows what we might encounter at night?"

"The best course of action is to go to hell and find the 'Tomb of Guilt' before it's seven o'clock."

"The sooner we are found, the sooner we can get shelter, which is much safer than simply staying outside."

"Hmm...it's definitely better to find it as soon as possible."

The handsome young man nodded, then looked up at the sky and said in a more serious tone, "The light is getting dimmer and dimmer. It probably won't be long before it's completely dark."

"Brother, let's go together."

Neilong patted Fan Xiao on the shoulder and chuckled, "I thought you were pretty clever before, but why are you acting like a girl at this crucial moment?"

"What did you say!" Jinlian snorted coldly.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

Neilong chuckled.

Fan Xiao pondered for a few seconds, then finally sighed softly, "...Alright. Hopefully, we can find it smoothly."

Wow... is it really that effective?

It's simply amazing!

These people have already come up with a whole bunch of reasonable conclusions in their own minds, so he doesn't need to deliberately guide them.

If he were to stand up now and disagree with the idea of ​​going to hell... this group might just suppress him on the spot!

"Without further ado, let's set off now."

The samurai-haired youth glanced at the time on the player panel and reminded everyone, "It's 7 PM. Danger could strike at any moment. Let's hurry and find the tomb."

……

7:02 in the evening.

Fourteen players passed through the white light emanating from the lighthouse and entered Hell.

The charred ground, overgrown with strange kinds of weeds, suddenly came into view.

Everyone looked up and saw that the sky was dark and the clouds were thick, creating a sense of oppression.

Immediately, the five players who possessed group defense items deployed their items, creating a defensive perimeter.

Fan Xiao stood in the crowd, glancing at the hooded girl next to him.

In his hand, he had already quietly grasped a dagger-shaped pendant—this was the secondary item Yu Xuezhao had given him, the [Assassin Identifier].

Soon, the secondary props provided feedback.

The hooded girl is indeed a player who plays the assassin class.

"Sigh... junior sister it is. After the dungeon ends, I will forcefully suppress her and bring her to Yu Xuezhao. I'm sure that will leave a bad impression on her."

After making up his mind, Fan Xiao stopped dwelling on the matter.

The hooded girl seemed to notice Fan Xiao's gaze, glanced back, but didn't react.

At that moment, she focused all her attention on the sudden sense of déjà vu.

So it really has already happened once... She became more vigilant.

An internal conflict between players is about to break out here.

Although she said she wouldn't help, if Vanmid's attempt to show off backfired... she wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.

At this moment, Fan Xiao turned his gaze to the other 12 players besides himself and his junior sister.

*Clap*—He clapped his hands, a slight smile playing on his lips.

After the applause drew everyone's attention, he said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I was just kidding..."

Chapter 429: I'm meek and submissive when facing monsters, but I strike hard when facing players.

"You're kidding us? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's words, the young man with the samurai-like hair frowned and was the first to react.

Fan Xiao smiled at him: "Since you're in such a hurry, let's start with you."

He quickly muttered the names of several of his props.

With a snap of his fingers, the young man with the samurai hair felt his blood flow erratically, causing extreme dizziness. His vision seemed to spin, and the next second, he uncontrollably knelt down in front of Fan Xiao.
