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

With that in mind, Fan Xiao selected one of them and once again entered the mirror world. He then appeared on the side of the chosen iceberg and reached out to touch it.

The skin on his wrist was cut open by the blood gushing from his veins, and the surging blood adhered to the smooth surface of the iceberg and began to burn.

The ice melted rapidly.

Fan Xiao entered the interior of the iceberg and, after a careful search, found a small, roughly shaped box near the center of the mountainside.

Upon opening the box, he found a folded A4 sheet of paper lying quietly inside.

Chapter 439 You can ride me a little longer

After taking the A4 paper and entering the mirror world, Fan Xiao bled himself while reading the information on the paper.

"Reincarnation instance, you, for the third time."

"The dark space is hell, hell is the present, and the outside world is the past..."

"Obsidian City, the hooded girl, junior sister, tell her..."

Each line of information on the paper was brief, but the overall picture was very broad.

Besides information about Hell... that is, the Dark Space, the paper also mentioned what he would encounter next, what dangers he would face, and key information related to the background of the instance.

For example, the reasons why the two kings appeared in Longxi Village, the specific plans of the Celestial Race and the Demon Race against the two kings, the abilities of the True King Caesar, the consequences of not stopping the invasion of Hell... and what kind of ending the history that is being repeated in the outside world will have.

After reading it, he had a complete grasp of the background of this instance.

Next…

Fan Xiao's gaze fell on the last few lines of information on the A4 paper: "Speculated solution: After the forced plot ends, collect the bodies of the Demon King's two daughters and build a tomb. Using the tomb as a breakthrough, there is a high probability that the sleeping main personality of the true King Caesar will be awakened. Then, by untying his knot in his heart, you can pass the game."

"The hypothetical perfect ending is to save the Demon King's daughter, change the course of history, and achieve a perfect happy ending. However, the consequences are unpredictable; one may receive the highest rating or lose the opportunity to build the Tomb of Guilt, entering a new cycle."

"Note: The deaths of the Demon King's twin daughters are a forced plot point. Trying to rescue them by starting with them may fail due to the dungeon's safety measures. To make the plan succeed, it's best to directly overturn the chessboard."

The information ends here.

Fan Xiao put the A4 paper back into the small box and stored it in his storage space, looking thoughtful.

"To overturn the chessboard..."

He murmured softly, a plan forming in his mind.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated on the A4 paper, the meaning of "flipping the chessboard" and the general background information provided make the answer obvious.

I can't solve the problem, but I can solve the people who create it.

In other words, wiping out all the high-ranking members of the Celestial Race and the Demon Race would prevent the war between the two kings.

otherwise……

This copy has been designed with very robust safeguards against external historical events.

Players can interact with the inhabitants of the instance and exchange a few words, but this won't affect the overall situation, so they won't be targeted.

However, if one wants to change a key point in history, then insurance measures will be triggered.

For example, as mentioned in the information, at 4:10 PM on the third day outside, players near the Demon King's daughter will be forcibly restricted by the dungeon. Not only will their bodies be unable to move, but their spirits will also be suppressed to the limit, preventing them from activating their talents.

Even with insurance measures in place, if one tries to save the sisters by taking the Demon King's daughter away beforehand... there's no guarantee that something unexpected might happen along the way.

Of course, it's also possible that he was overthinking things in his previous reincarnation.

You can't gamble on something like this.

The safest approach is to kill the high-ranking members of the Demon Race and the Celestial Race.

The information on the A4 paper mentioned that in the previous cycle, other players most likely went to the territory of the Demon Race, captured and interrogated the Demon Race's high-ranking members, but did not encounter any historical insurance measures.

This means that dealing with the demon race will not violate the rules... No, perhaps the demon race's own strength is the so-called insurance measure, and... if too much of a commotion is caused, it may attract the punishment of the Demon King Carmen.

If the Celestial Race is also targeted... then we will face the hostility of both kings at the same time.

No player with a sound mind would do such a thing.

“Using the method of killing high-ranking members of the Celestial Race and the Demon Race will be targeted by the two kings... This should be considered a disguised historical insurance measure.”

Fan Xiao speculated: "But this kind of insurance is not an unreasonable and mandatory restriction. As long as we act quickly and succeed before the two kings can react, we should be able to complete the plan successfully."

"Even if things go wrong, the two kings will arrive quickly... As long as we can withstand the pressure from the two kings and kill them, we can still complete the plan."

"This should be a concession made by the dungeon, not completely sealing off the possibility of a perfect clear, otherwise it would violate the balance of the evolution game."

"Of course, the prerequisite for passing the level using this method is having enough strength to annihilate the high-ranking members of both races in a very short time... It's very difficult! Extremely difficult!"

Fan Xiao frowned slightly.

He can't do this alone; he needs to find help.

And the people who can help him...

"Junior sister..."

Fan Xiao sighed softly, "The remaining information clearly states that she is my junior sister... It seems my expectations have been dashed."

To avoid getting into new romantic entanglements, he had to find a way to prevent his junior sister from developing feelings for him because of the "suspension bridge effect" or their shared hardships.

After organizing the intelligence, Fan Xiao temporarily stopped the bloodletting and stored the large amount of fresh blood he had released into "Nana's Suitcase".

If this cycle fails as well, this blood can be used to create another iceberg to leave a message.

If it succeeds... then keep it for combat.

"The Blood Duke is quite adaptable. Pairing him with a suitcase can also create item combo skills. If you accumulate more blood in normal times, you can unleash a large-scale destructive ultimate move when it matters."

Fan Xiao discovered that he had found a new approach.

However, now is not the time to delve deeper.

He temporarily put aside his thoughts and used the "mirror" to teleport to another iceberg, where he took out the small box from the iceberg in the same way.

Just as he had predicted, the information contained in this box was exactly the same as the information stored in the first iceberg.

He kept both documents for future reference.

If this cycle also fails, simply add a few lines to explain the reasons for the failure, and it can be passed on as ready-made information to your next reincarnation.

I just don't know if placing the information directly in the player's storage space will preserve it for the next cycle...

Fan Xiao thought about it and felt that this plan should not be tried lightly.

Since Hell is so dangerous, he must have replaced his usual five B-grade items with new ones during his last reincarnation battle.

However, after this cycle began, he only equipped four permanent B-grade items, the last of which was a D-grade disguise item—used to disguise the color of the player's ID number.

The items he changed in the previous cycle have most likely been reversed and brought back.

Therefore, leaving information in storage space is not safe.

"A cycle of memories that is sealed, and players can only survive for two days in the cycle before they die, with little chance to even obtain information. The difficulty is unimaginable. But... I found the perfect solution to complete it with just two cycles."

"Yes, as expected of me."

"However, in the second cycle... I chose to leave a message, which means I have most likely accepted the defeat and will no longer use extreme attack methods... such as transforming into a bat and hiding in Qiqi's stomach to fully unleash Qiqi's mobility."

"In other words, the death scenes that appeared in my mind before... were the ending of the first reincarnation? Does that mean that in the next reincarnation, I will recall two death scenes?"

"From this perspective, it seems the memories weren't completely lost, but rather temporarily sealed... Will all the memories be restored after the dungeon ends?"

Although it's just a guess, Fan Xiao thinks it's very likely.

He immediately thought of his junior sister and sighed softly.

"Based on my mindset when I entered the instance, I most likely pretended to be a jerk when I first encountered my junior sister in the first reincarnation, and gained a lot of negative impressions."

"And the second time... my junior sister even revealed her name to me, so my approach to her was probably normal, and I didn't pretend to be a jerk anymore."

"Once her memory returns, she'll easily be able to guess from my contradictory behavior that I'm faking it... Tsk, never mind, there's no need to act this time."

"Let's clear the game as soon as possible."

With that thought in mind, he didn't delay any longer and teleported away from Hell.

……

Because of the time spent in Hell, Fan Xiao returned to the outside world at 4:55 PM, thanks to the 15-fold time speed.

Judging from the information left on the A4 paper, at this point in time, players from the Silver City and Obsidian City factions might have already started fighting... or rather, putting on a show.

Instead of heading to Longxi Village immediately, Fan Xiao searched for information among the residents in the outer city area of ​​Baiyin City, comparing their accounts with the remaining information.

After finding no logical flaws, he began to act according to his plan, inquired about the direction of Longxi Village, and headed there.

After leaving the city, he did not encounter any resistance from the army.

As he had predicted, the army of Silver City had already set off.

Once out of human sight, Fan Xiao stopped pretending to have physical abilities and unleashed the speed expected of a C-level player, arriving at the outskirts of Longxi Village in just a few minutes.

The remaining information mentioned that after the players from Silver City and Obsidian City broke away from the army and regained their freedom of movement, they met up at 5:17 pm on the outskirts of Longxi Village.

Although he is no longer in charge this time, players from both sides will likely still meet up once again to exchange information.

He has plenty of time.

And just as Van Shaw had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Longxi Village, he found that the players were still acting and had not yet had time to move around freely.

He looked out into the distance and saw that the armies of Silver City and Obsidian City were both concentrated inside Longxi Village, facing off against each other, and players from both sides were forced to participate in the confrontation.

A moment later, a tall figure appeared and, with a terrifying aura, drove back the armies of the two cities.

The players followed the army and fled Longxi Village, all of them hanging at the very back.

Around 5:20 PM, players from both sides broke away from their armies and regrouped in the mountains west of Longxi Village.

Neilong, representing the Silver City faction, stepped forward and began conversing with the handsome young man from Obsidian City.

Before they could exchange more than a few words, all 12 players simultaneously turned their heads to look towards the south.

Fan Xiao's slowly approaching figure came into their view.

"Brother Fan...?"

When Nei Long saw Fan Xiao, he was visibly taken aback.

Then, almost instinctively, he asked, "Why did you suddenly disappear?"

"Huh?" The handsome young man opposite Neilong was taken aback and looked at Fan Xiao with surprise and suspicion: "You disappeared? Some players on our side also disappeared. Do you know where they went?"

"They've been pulled into the hellish space. You can ask the villagers of Longxi Village what hell is."

Fan Xiao gave a somewhat perfunctory reply.

His gaze swept around the room, moving in and out as if searching for something.

The hooded target... wasn't here, he frowned slightly.

Could it be that Junior Sister thought these people were unreliable and probably wouldn't get any useful information, so she simply didn't come?

"Even if she didn't come, it's still uncertain whether King Caesar and Demon King Carmen have left Longxi Village. She probably won't go to the village right now; she's likely hiding nearby..."

"No, that's not right. Her ability can create a time-stopping effect. With this ability, even if she observes the two kings at close range, they won't notice her."

With this in mind, Fan Xiao decided to go directly to Longxi Village.

But before setting off, he called out to the surrounding mountains and forests, "Cassandra."

After finding no movement, he then took a step.

Seeing this, Neilong and the others behind quickly followed.

Nei Long asked, "Brother Fan, where are you going? You disappeared before... What exactly is Hell? Can you tell me in detail?"

"In this instance, besides the space we are in now, there is a dark space with a different flow of time, called Hell. I disappeared before because I was suddenly pulled into Hell."

As Fan Xiao continued on his way, he replied, "There are many alien monsters in Hell. They have the ability to mutate players. Most of the other players who disappeared probably died inside."

After he finished speaking, he sped up.

After hearing this, the samurai-headed youth behind him frowned and asked, "Then how did you manage to come back alive?"

“You can use items in Hell, and mine are pretty good,” Fan Xiao replied. “The fixed entrance to Hell is at the Longxi Coast Lighthouse. If you want to explore it, you can ask the villagers in Longxi Village, and they will tell you the exact location.”

This time, he didn't show any impatience. He explained everything that needed to be explained and didn't hesitate to share information.
