Because... we might need to use these people later to stop Hell from invading.
Therefore, we must not antagonize each other prematurely.
Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of Longxi Village.
Carmen the Demon King and Caesar the True King have already left.
Fan Xiao said to the group, "I'm looking for a hooded player. She's from the Obsidian City faction and is someone I know. You can choose whoever you like."
After saying that, he walked into Longxi Village.
Seeing this, the other players discussed it amongst themselves and decided to go to Hell to check on the situation first.
After parting ways with the others, Fan Xiao found a villager, asked him for directions to the village chief's house, and quickly headed there.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but as soon as he arrived at the village chief's house, he saw the door open and a girl in a hoodie came out.
The large hood covered most of the girl's face, leaving only her smooth, fair chin exposed.
Upon seeing Fan Xiao standing outside the door, the hooded girl immediately became wary.
She deduced from their clothing that the other person was also a player.
At this moment, Fan Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Cassandra, stop shirking your responsibilities."
Hooded girl: "..."
In the blink of an eye, Fan Xiao found himself pinned to the ground, a short sword pressed against his throat.
The hooded girl was half-riding on him, her eyes coldly looking down at him, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"This development is quite unexpected..."
Fan Xiao showed no signs of nervousness.
Because of the angle, he could clearly see the hooded girl's stunning face and met her gaze with her cold eyes.
"answer my question!"
The hooded girl frowned.
The tip of the short sword in her hand had already touched the skin of Fan Xiao's throat.
“Don’t be nervous,” Fan Xiao said. “I think you already have some doubts about this instance, such as… the exaggerated number on the back of your hand that is different from other players.”
"...What do you want to say?"
The hooded girl remained vigilant.
Fan Xiao smiled and said, "This place is actually a dungeon with a cycle of reincarnation rules..."
He didn't keep anyone in suspense and quickly shared most of the information he knew.
After about five minutes of narration, the hooded girl's figure flashed and disappeared from Fan Xiao's body, reappearing a meter away.
Taking the opportunity, Fan Xiao stood up, dusted off his clothes and pants, and said with a smile, "Hmm... such a soft body, full of the sweet scent of a young girl... Actually, you can ride me a little longer, I don't mind at all."
"..."
Chapter 440 Actually, everyone is a pervert
Fan Xiao's bizarre remarks caused the hooded girl's eyes to turn cold again.
She revealed a faint killing intent as she said, "In the last reincarnation... I actually told a pervert like you my secret...?"
She seemed genuinely puzzled.
After a few seconds of silence, she gave a soft, cold snort and said, "It seems this dungeon is indeed extremely dangerous, so dangerous that I've compromised with someone like you..."
"Oh?" Fan Xiao laughed, "You believe it quite quickly."
The hooded girl was too lazy to explain.
This guy had no idea how much weight his very first words carried to her.
She even revealed such a secret... The other party deserves at least 60% of her trust.
Moreover, after careful consideration, she realized that the concept of reincarnation perfectly matched the anomalies she was currently experiencing.
If you go to hell and examine the "déjà vu" and "death scenes" again, you can basically confirm this claim.
"Judging from your reaction... it seems you've told me a secret that's quite significant to you?"
Fan Xiao seemed thoughtful: "What responsibility are you shirking? I'm starting to get curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat," the hooded girl said coldly. "Don't ask questions if you don't want to die."
"I kind of regret it."
Fan Xiao sighed softly, "Tell me, if I had added a sentence just now, like, 'Cassandra, stop running away from your responsibilities, I will face them with you,' would you have subconsciously thought that we had established a very close relationship in the last reincarnation? Would that have made you feel quite fond of me and eventually throw yourself into my arms?"
"Shameless!"
The hooded girl made no attempt to hide the disgust and aversion in her tone.
At the same time, I felt a little scared.
Fortunately, this guy was twisted enough that he couldn't suppress his ugly nature at all, and he gave himself away after only a few words.
Otherwise, if he were to play her... she might actually fall for it.
Thinking about this, the hooded girl felt even more disgusted with Fan Xiao.
Fan Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he continued, "By the way, my name is Fan Mida, you can just call me dear Fan."
He originally didn't intend to become a pervert.
But it felt like I started acting without even realizing it... How did that happen?
He carefully examined himself.
Perhaps because he came with the intention of making enemies, he felt no qualms about teasing his junior sister, and his flirtatious remarks came very naturally and freely.
So... this is a release of his true nature?
Was he a pervert from the start?
"No, how could that be? I have a great personality and noble character."
Fan Xiao felt that he was being influenced by the cycle of reincarnation and had acted out of habit.
Yes, that should be it.
Even if it's not... both men and women have a tendency towards chaos. Chaos is human nature, just as entropy increase is a universal law. The universe is destined to move from order to disorder and chaos. Humans live in the universe and naturally follow the laws of the universe. What they really want to pursue is chaos, but they are usually restrained by orderly morality and... they don't have the opportunity to do bad things.
That's right!
Humans are all hidden perverts!
He is not an exception.
He was merely using the opportunity to reveal some universal laws.
"Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"
The hooded girl raised her short sword again.
Her eyes were filled with frost.
He dared to flirt with her so many times on their first meeting... She really wants to kill him now.
"I advise you to save your breath. If you really lay a hand on me, you'll pay the price."
Fan Xiao shrugged: "Your ability can create a time-stopping effect, right? That's really powerful, giving you an almost absolute first-mover advantage."
"But... why was I able to grasp the secrets of this dungeon so quickly? Didn't you ever think... that I'm actually more capable than you?"
"And your abilities are never the most bizarre, they only get more bizarre. Aren't you curious... why I'm not afraid of you at all?"
"..."
The hooded girl frowned, instinctively taking a small step back, becoming wary.
She rarely encountered such blatant and repeated harassment, and in her anger and shame, she subconsciously ignored the need to consider this point.
This pervert... seems to be more than just a pervert!
Perhaps feeling that she had backed down and lost in terms of momentum, she said coldly, "Even the most powerful pervert is still just a pervert. You don't need to bluff in front of me."
"Hehe... It seems my words have successfully given you a sense of my abilities."
Fan Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's good that you understand. It will be much easier to talk from now on. After all... the solution I devised to pass the level is quite dangerous."
"Moreover, the 'danger' here is based on the strength level of you and me. If it were any other C-level player... that would be pure suicide."
"..."
The hooded girl's face, obscured by shadows, appeared somewhat heavy.
Is this dungeon really that dangerous?
She was quite confident in her abilities...
"Let's talk as we walk."
The hooded girl quickly suppressed her worries and said, "I want to go to hell first."
She originally planned to go and find the twin sisters that the Demon King had taken away from Longxi Village.
However, now that she knows the sisters are the Demon King's daughters and their ultimate fate, there's no need to go any further.
"can."
As Fan Xiao walked, he said, "There are two options. The first is for the corpse collector to create the 'Tomb of Guilt'... Well, I've shared all the information with you, so you should understand what I mean."
"As for the connection between the 'Tomb of Guilt' and the awakening of Caesar's true personality..."
He recounted his guess.
That is, the true personality of Caesar may be dormant in the outside world... or the outside world is a combination of his dreams and memories, and the player is in the "consciousness space" of Caesar.
The true King Caesar certainly didn't possess such "creation-level" power; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt guilty and could have simply resurrected his deceased friends and their daughters.
The reason why this external space was able to form is probably mainly due to the rules of the instance, which is an evolutionary game.
Just like the "Green Mountain Prison" instance, Himuro Rui was clearly just an ordinary person in her previous life. However, after her story was chosen as the background of the instance and created as an instance, she gained powerful and strange abilities and became an instance boss.
The power of creation has nothing to do with the dungeon boss himself.
The one who truly possesses the power of creation is most likely the "god" that Tina once mentioned—the "god" seems to be able to materialize all the ethereal things such as history and legends, creating dungeons and items.
The relationship between "God" and the evolution game is forbidden knowledge marked and cursed by S-class items; anyone who knows it will be hunted down by the game company.
Even the eldest sister, Yu Xuezhao, was unaware of this knowledge—she had the opportunity to learn it, but she didn't want to be targeted by the game company, so she voluntarily gave up exploring it.
After all... it's estimated that only hardcore gamers can truly escape the game companies' clutches.
In short, what the outside world can understand as the "consciousness space" of the true King Caesar, there is an eternal void in the heart of the true King Caesar - he failed to fulfill the last wish entrusted to him by his friend before his death, to properly bury Lina and Melissa.
If the player can protect the bodies of the twin sisters in his place and successfully bury them... after the regret is resolved, the true king Caesar's main personality may be awakened from the "repeated dream".
Afterwards, if we can resolve Caesar's inner conflict and eliminate his guilt, we can probably indirectly eliminate the alternate personality of Caesar that arose from his guilt.
Or it could be called a "rampant personality" or "out-of-control personality"—that is, the collection of Caesar's negative emotions that led to the destruction of the world.
"Next is the second option."
Fan Xiao slowed down his speech slightly: "Let's work together to kill off the high-ranking members of the Celestial Race and the Demon Race ahead of time."
"By preventing the 'cause' of a two-kings battle, the 'effect' of a two-kings battle will naturally not occur."
"This behavior will undoubtedly invite the wrath of the two kings. In the worst-case scenario, we may have to face the pressure from the two kings head-on to kill those high-ranking officials, so we must kill them quickly!"
"...That does sound very dangerous." The hooded girl asked, "Why didn't you choose to move the sisters' location beforehand?"
"That's also an option."
Fan Xiao added, "Similar methods include telling the truth to Carmen the Demon King, and... on the day of the incident, finding a way to prevent Carmen the Demon King from leaving the cabin, so that he stays with his daughter that day."
"We can even spread information about Carmen's daughter to humanity. Then, how dare humans harm Lina and Melissa?"
"Judging from your tone... could it be that these methods have a very high failure rate?"
The hooded girl frowned and asked.
Otherwise... why not use these simpler solutions?
