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

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl tensed up simultaneously, instinctively ready to strike.

Fortunately, they all had strong self-control and suppressed their subconscious instincts.

That voice... it's Carmen the Demon King!

If they actually take action, the consequences could be very serious.

The two turned their heads slightly stiffly, and sure enough, Carmen's tall figure appeared in their field of vision.

Fan Xiao quickly gave the hooded girl a "cooperate with me" look, then stood up and said to Carmen, the Demon King, "We fled here."

"Escape?" Carmen asked. "What do you mean?"

"Although we are mercenaries who do things for money, we still have a conscience."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "The military commander of Baiyin City has given us the order to massacre Longxi Village... We are naturally unwilling, but we have no choice."

"Fortunately, you stopped this, Lord Demon King, otherwise we would probably have regretted it for the rest of our lives."

“Now that the army has run away, we mercenaries have been abandoned. If we go back to Silver City now... we’ll probably be sent to some place to massacre a village again. We don’t want to go back, but we have no money and have been hungry for two days.”

"We have a mission to save the world, we can't die in a place like this, so..."

He pointed to the riverside wooden house in the distance: "There are two sisters living there. We visited them once before and saw that there was a lot of food in the house... We were thinking about whether we should go over and ask for some food."

"This request... well, it's a bit difficult to say."

Hooded girl: "..."

This guy actually said that he's been used to not lying since he was a child... How can he have the nerve to say something like that?

The hooded girl wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but she knew now was not the time.

On the other side, Carmen, the Demon King, had no doubts about the mercenaries' words and nodded, saying, "There's nothing shameful about it. You're unwilling to collude with the Silver City's army, which shows you have a kind heart. Come with me."

After saying that, he walked towards the wooden house.

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl exchanged a glance and followed.

Lina and Melissa heard the noise outside and realized that their father had returned. They ran out to greet him with joy.

The two were not surprised to see Fan Xiao and the hooded girl appear.

It seems that the presence of mercenaries here is a perfectly normal thing.

Melissa even greeted them directly: "Mercenaries, what brings you here again?"

"That's it..."

Fan Xiao repeated what he had said before.

“How pitiful…” Melissa seemed to empathize and felt pity, so she warmly invited, “My sister and I just made breakfast, let’s eat together.”

“Thank you so much,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “Miss Melissa is such a little angel.”

"No, there isn't any..."

The little girl's cheeks were a little rosy.

She felt slightly shy yet proud when praised by a stranger, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

The Demon King did not object to his daughter's invitation and allowed Fan Xiao and the hooded girl to follow him into the wooden house.

The five of them had breakfast together.

Neither Fan Xiao nor the hooded girl had expected things to unfold in such a dramatic way.

If they had known that Carmen was so easy to talk to, they would have come to make contact with him long ago.

"The residents in this instance are very tolerant of mercenaries... no, not all of them. The soldiers in Silver City are quite rude."

"The specific attitude one takes towards mercenaries should be based on their established persona..."

Fan Xiao made a judgment in his mind.

During the meal, he seized the rare opportunity to get close to the Demon King and asked him a few questions.

The Tomb of Guilt...I was told I'd never heard of it.

Dealing with the invasion of Hell... was answered that this was a mercenary's mission.

Is there any danger at night...? The Demon King suspects they're out of their minds.

After some questioning...

We didn't get any useful information at all!

Fan Xiao couldn't help but curse in his heart, "The Demon King is such a waste."

until……

"I've heard that you often spar with Caesar the True King. What are the abilities of Caesar the True King... or rather, the Celestial Race?"

"The Celestial Race, like our Demon Race, possesses a powerful physique, and their ability is to manipulate blood in battle."

This was no secret. Without hesitating whether to answer, the Demon King Carmen said directly, "But Caesar is different from the Celestials. His abilities are more comprehensive. He has absolute control over flesh and blood. He can separate his own flesh and blood to create new life, and he can also erode other life and bring it under his control."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Fan Xiao's eyes narrowed, and a series of guesses and conclusions flashed through his mind.

The hooded girl frowned, becoming even more convinced of the conclusion that "Hell is the work of the true King Caesar."

Chapter 434 The Beginning of the War of the Two Kings

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After finishing breakfast, Carmen chatted with his two daughters for a while before temporarily bidding farewell to the cabin and disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Fan Xiao and the hooded girl didn't know whether to say that the Demon King was too carefree, or... that the players were really no different from "air people" in the eyes of the local residents.

Although residents interact normally with the "air person," they automatically ignore the "air person's" existence when they are thinking.

For example... isn't the Demon King afraid that the two of them are liars and could pose a threat to his daughter?

"I'm increasingly convinced that the outside world is simply a repeat of history...that's the conclusion."

The hooded girl looked in the direction where Carmen had disappeared and murmured, "Because it's a reenactment, they will automatically ignore the parts of the plot that don't make sense."

“This is a good thing for us. Staying with the Demon King is quite stressful,” Fan Xiao said. “At least now we can openly conduct surveillance… surveillance.”

The hooded girl agreed with that statement.

Being with the Demon King is definitely stressful.

Although the other person's body was only that of a slightly taller human, she felt as if it were some kind of terrifying behemoth.

"Mercenaries, why don't you stay here for now?"

Just then, Melissa found Vanshaw and the hooded girl, and looking at them, suggested, "Anyway, you have nowhere else to go. Don't worry about food; Dad brings back plenty every now and then."

"Wouldn't this... be a bit inappropriate?"

Fan Xiao said somewhat embarrassedly.

“What’s wrong with that? You look much older than me, why are you shy?” Melissa patted her thin chest and said with a hint of pride, “You should learn from me.”

"Yes, Miss Melissa is so mature," Fan Xiao praised sincerely.

"Well... it's alright, it's not too mature."

Melissa was a little shy, so she quickly changed the subject, saying, "How about we go fishing? Dad taught me and Lina how, and I'll teach you too, okay? That way you won't go hungry anymore."

"Melissa, how could you say such a thing to a guest?"

Lina walked over, gave her sister a slight scolding, and then looked at Fan Xiao and the hooded girl, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, that's just her eccentric personality."

“It’s alright,” Fan Xiao said with a smile. “I was just thinking of trying fishing myself, so I’ll leave it to Miss Melissa.”

"Haha, sister, see, it was you who was meddling in other people's business!"

Melissa grabbed Van Shaw and the hooded girl and led them outside: "Let's go fishing. We'll make fish soup for lunch, come on, come on."

"Slow down."

Lina gave a few words of advice from behind.

Melissa led Fan Xiao and the hooded girl to the riverbank, picked up the harpoon placed to the side, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and went into the river. Like a little teacher, she focused on finding fish while explaining the relevant techniques to Fan Xiao and the hooded girl.

However... she had a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but she was quite clumsy in practice. She failed to catch any fish several times in a row. A few drops of water splashed onto her nose, making it itchy. She couldn't help but sneeze and almost fell into the river.

She is such a lively and innocent little girl.

Seeing this, the hooded girl frowned deeply.

If possible, she actually doesn't really want to have deep contact with the twin sisters.

The best course of action is undoubtedly to observe them from a distance.

Because once there is too much contact... people are not cold-blooded animals; if you spend a lot of time together, you will develop feelings for them.

Her current goal is to observe history and find the truth behind the "Tomb of Guilt".

According to Van Meadows's speculation... in history, the twin sisters would die, ultimately leading to the War of the Two Kings.

Now history is repeating itself, so... if that moment really comes, should she step in to save people?

Should we let history unfold, observe the outcome, and search for the truth?

Or... should I step in to save them and break the cycle?

What happens after the cycle is broken?

The hooded girl felt a little confused.

She glanced at Van Mida instinctively, only to see that he had already rolled up his trousers and gone into the river to fish.

This guy……

The hooded girl really wanted to ask him if he had a heart at all.

A short while later, Fan Xiao caught three fish and returned to the shore from the river with Melissa.

"Mercenary, you have quite a talent."

Melissa praised with some joy, "Catching three on the first try is fantastic! We're in for a treat today at lunchtime. My sister is a great cook; I asked her to make one for soup, one for braised, and one for steamed."

"It's mainly because of Miss Melissa's excellent teaching," Van Shaw said, taking credit for himself. "As the saying goes, a good teacher produces excellent students. Without your patient guidance, I wouldn't have been able to succeed on my first try."

"Really... Did I teach very well?"

Melissa couldn't help but smile slightly, and said with a touch of smugness, "Yeah, a good teacher produces a good student, and I'm a good teacher, haha..."

The two returned to the cabin together and handed the three large fish to Lina.

Lina was a little surprised, but she quickly suppressed her surprise, took the fish, and began to clean it.

Fan Xiao then kept Melissa company as she grew bored, playing a guessing game with her.

Although she's a little slow-witted, this little girl really enjoys these kinds of brain games.

Once the two had some free time, the hooded girl gave Fan Xiao a look, signaling him to come outside with her.

Fan Xiao didn't pretend not to understand and wisely followed.

The two moved a little further away from the wooden house and came to the riverbank.

The hooded girl cut to the chase: "Why are you getting so close to Melissa?"

"I like lolis."

Fan Xiao grinned.

"..." The hooded girl's eyes flashed with coldness: "Scumbag! Pervert!"

"Say what you will, I'm just being honest about my desires." Fan Xiao shrugged. "If you don't have anything important to do, don't bother me."

"...Do you believe I can kill you with one sword?"

The hooded girl simply couldn't tolerate this perversion.

She couldn't tolerate anyone doing such perverted things right under her nose.

"Aren't you being a bit too nosy?" Fan Xiao frowned and said, "We're both willing participants, what's it to you?"

"..." The hooded girl said, "You have offended the Demon King's daughter, and this will bring us trouble."
