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

"Maybe."

Fan Xiao remained noncommittal: "After all, the outside world is a replay of history, and there are safeguards in the copy that ensure history proceeds along its original trajectory."

“I don’t know where this insurance measure will take effect. In the last reincarnation, it took effect at a critical moment, suppressing our bodies and minds, rendering us both unable to move.”

"So I haven't tried these methods, so I can't say for sure whether they will work."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "It's actually a simple choice. I personally prefer to choose to slaughter the high-ranking members of both races."

"Because in this way, we can directly cut off the initial 'cause' and create the most fundamental historical logical conflict."

"With the enemies of the two kings gone and their schemes eliminated, the Demon King's daughter will naturally be out of danger."

"What about the 'Tomb of Guilt'?" the hooded girl asked.

“Don’t take the ‘Tomb of Guilt’ as a tomb that provides shelter.”

Fan Xiao shook his head and reminded him, "According to my guess, the significance of the 'Tomb of Guilt' is to make up for the regret that King Caesar failed to fulfill his best friend's last wish."

"Having made up for the regrets, Caesar's true king personality has awakened, and he will naturally protect us players who helped him."

“I think this is the specific protective effect that the ‘Tomb of Guilt’ can provide to players. But…”

He asked, "Do you remember what the game hints said?"

Upon hearing this, the hooded girl subconsciously brought up the player panel and took a look.

She then replied, "'The Grave of Guilt' can provide you with some protection."

"Yes, the phrase 'certain protection' contains the qualifier 'certain,' which is the problem."

Fan Xiao offered his speculation: "Perhaps simply building the 'Tomb of Guilt' won't be enough to completely awaken the true King Caesar's main personality. Players might still face many dangers, just without... the most deadly crisis?"

"If we were to use a dungeon rating as an analogy... it would be roughly a mediocre rating."

"And my second solution might be the most perfect way to pass the level. It can not only completely awaken the consciousness of the true king Caesar, but perhaps... it can also directly resolve his inner conflict in one fell swoop."

"..."

The hooded girl fell silent.

Option one: Collect the bodies of the Demon King's twin daughters and build a tomb. Simple and efficient.

Option two: eliminate a bunch of idiots and scum, save the twins' lives, and achieve a happy ending... Well, a fake happy ending, which is meaningless from a realistic point of view.

Although the pervert said that the first plan might have subsequent dangers, compared to the dangers of the second plan... it's child's play.

After all, the latter would have to face the threat of the two kings directly.

This dungeon is too difficult. She no longer expects a high rating; she just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.

As a self-interested player, the choice is obvious.

"..."

As expected, I'm not suited to be a player... After a moment of silence, the hooded girl said, "I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. Your second plan is the fastest to implement and can be carried out today. Let's go with that. I'll cooperate with you."

"readily."

Fan Xiao grinned.

No wonder Tina values ​​her student.

This level of awareness completely eliminates the need to test their eligibility to enter court with a "badge of justice".

It's definitely guaranteed to pass.

She's a bit too naive and innocent, she needs some proper guidance... oh no, I mean instruction.

However... my junior sister is still young and a bit naive, which is understandable.

Fan Xiao is quite tolerant in this regard.

After finalizing the plan, the two stopped talking and silently quickened their pace.

The lighthouse was not far from Longxi Village. After demonstrating the physical qualities expected of a C-level player, they arrived at their destination in less than a minute.

If the invasion of Hell is not stopped, all the players will die—Fan Xiao had learned of this hidden danger from the leftover information, so he was on high alert when observing the fixed entrances and exits of Hell.

However, to his surprise...

The white light at the entrance and exit was very dim.

The area... isn't very large.

It's only the size of a door.

The brightness of this light... was far less intense than the white light he had seen when he left Hell.

"You seem surprised?" the hooded girl asked.

“There’s something wrong with the brightness of the transmitted white light,” Fan Xiao said. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

The hooded girl nodded slightly and jumped into the light with him.

The next second, the two appeared on a scorched, weed-covered wasteland.

In the hellish area near the entrance and exit, there were only five or six scattered corpses of alien monsters... likely killed by the 12 players including Neilong.

Fan Xiao and the hooded girl looked up and saw Nei Long and his group exploring the surrounding area.

Fan Xiao turned around and glanced at the entrance behind him. He found that the white light was still dim when looking out from Hell, and the range was only the size of a door.

In addition, there are very few monsters in the surrounding area...

He immediately came to the conclusion: "It seems that some of the achievements from the previous cycle have been retained in this cycle..."

“That’s right. Hell doesn’t participate in the cycle of reincarnation. If the monsters in this area are killed, they are truly dead. New monsters aren’t born that quickly, so the progress of Hell’s invasion will naturally be delayed, without having to start all over again.”

If you say so...

He glanced at Neilong and the others not far away, thinking to himself—these people are no longer of any use to him, so there's no need to be polite to them anymore.

"How is it? Can it be verified?"

Fan Xiao turned his head and glanced at the hooded girl beside him, asking a question.

The hooded girl was frowning, her delicate brows furrowed, and her beautiful face was somewhat gloomy.

She instinctively recalled the scene of her death during her "first time around"—her mental energy was exhausted, her psychic powers could no longer be activated, and she was ultimately affected by the putrid smell in the atmosphere, causing her to mutate from the inside out, with clusters of large and small eyeballs bursting out of her body from the inside.

The feeling of something gushing out of my body...it's disgusting.

"Verified."

The hooded girl quickly composed herself and asked, "How are things on your end? Did you notice anything unusual?"

"There are indeed some anomalies, but it's a good thing."

Fan Xiao then recounted his reasoning.

"Don't we need to stop them again..." The hooded girl nodded. "In that case, let's begin. Celestials and Demons, which side are you going to?"

Chapter 441 Fan Xiao's Scheme

Fan Xiao guessed that the plan to plot against the two kings must have been quite secretive, since it would be very dangerous if such a thing got out.

Although everything is now history, and whether it was exposed is no longer relevant, given the circumstances at the time... very few people must have known this secret.

Even if the high-ranking members of both races were involved, the people who actually planned and executed the schemes would likely only be a handful at the very top.

Because of this consideration, when faced with the hooded girl's question, he replied, "Don't be in such a hurry. Let's go to the Demon Clan first, capture a prisoner, and interrogate him to get some information."

"If things go well, we might be able to resolve the root of the problem in one go. If things go badly... we'll probably have to kill them several times over."

"Killing the high-ranking members of both clans is tantamount to a blatant provocation against the two kings. Do we really have the opportunity to provoke them repeatedly?"

The hooded girl asked a question.

However, she quickly realized: "Using Hell as a refuge... seems feasible! The two kings in the outside world are figures from the dream's history, while Hell is reality, so they most likely can't get in here."

“That’s how it is,” Fan Xiao grinned. “As long as you run fast, you can kill everyone outside and maybe nothing will happen.”

Don't assume people are like you!

The hooded girl's voice was indifferent.

Fan Xiao didn't mind and arranged, "Let's go to the Demon Clan to gather intelligence first. Then, I'll deal with the Demon Clan's high-ranking members, and you'll deal with the Celestial Clan's high-ranking members."

"can."

The hooded girl did not refute.

But... there was a hint of disdain in her voice.

In the previous cycle, the final outcome of the war between the two kings was that Caesar the True King won—Van Meadow had already informed her of this result.

Without a doubt, the true King Caesar is stronger than the demon king Carmen.

The pervert, as the one who proposed the plan, actually sent a girl like her to deal with a stronger enemy... Although she herself didn't mind, but... shamelessness is shamelessness.

"You seem to be thinking something very rude?"

Fan Xiao shrugged: "I didn't switch targets with you because I was afraid of Caesar the True King. It's just that... we're really incompatible."

“His body can split and blend into the environment, making him difficult to kill. In addition, he can attack me directly from a great distance, causing aberration damage. My talent... well, I am better at close combat, so dealing with Carmen is more suitable for me.”

"As for you... your ability has a huge advantage in prioritizing attacks, and it's also excellent for escaping. You're more suitable to deal with Caesar the True King. As long as you don't hesitate to use your ability, his aberration attacks will basically not hurt you. You can even kill someone right under his nose."

"Besides..."

He added a reminder: "We may not necessarily encounter the Twin Kings. And the Demon Race is generally stronger than the Celestial Race."

"From this perspective, I'm under even more pressure."

“You don’t need to explain so much to me,” the hooded girl said. “In my eyes, you’re already a pervert. A few more flaws won’t make a difference.”

"Is that so... You have a high opinion of me."

Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "A deep impression is the beginning of goodwill. A bad impression is still an impression."

"I look forward to the day you climb into my bed and beg for my affection."

"..."

The hooded girl had a cold look in her eyes, but she didn't make a move.

The plan is about to begin; now is not the time for infighting.

She'll save her anger for now, and after the dungeon ends... she'll give this pervert a good beating!

After discussing their plan, the two prepared to leave hell.

At this moment, Nei Long and the handsome young man saw Fan Xiao turn around and quickly called out to them.

"Brother Fan, wait a minute."

Nei Long was the first to walk over and asked, "Do any of you have a sense of 'déjà vu'? And... do images of your own death suddenly flash through your minds?"

"It seems you have some too." Fan Xiao nodded.

"Did he die in hell?" Nelong continued to ask.

"Yes."

"Where is this... Hooded Miss?"

"Same."

The hooded girl replied casually.

"As expected, everyone has it! And everyone died in hell." Neilong frowned and said, "We speculate that this is a hint from the dungeon to the players, the sense of déjà vu combined with the death scene... Perhaps, we've been here before and died here?"

"If this conjecture is correct..." the handsome young man concluded with a startling statement: "This instance is very likely a cyclic instance. There's a high probability that our group has already been reincarnated once."

"I found a large amount of ice left on the ground."

The samurai-headed youth said, "If this is a reincarnation instance... these ice blocks, as well as the many ditches and large holes on the ground, are likely traces of battles we left behind when we fought monsters in Hell in our previous reincarnation."

He paused, looked at Fan Xiao and the hooded girl, and asked, "Which of you has the talent or the tools to create ice? I've asked the others, and none of them do."

“I have a tool that can create ice,” Fan Xiao frowned. “So… the ice marks were left by me?”

“It seems our guess is most likely correct.” The handsome young man’s expression turned serious. “If we follow this guess… perhaps the numbers on the back of our hands represent the number of times we can reincarnate.”

“Obsidian City has 15 people, while Silver City only has 13. The numbers don’t match up.”
