Meanwhile, after parting ways with the three, Fan Xiao went straight to the area where slaves were being auctioned.
It wasn't that he had taken a fancy to a particular slave and wanted to buy her to abuse... When he was observing the slave auction area earlier, he caught a glimpse of a slightly familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
This sense of familiarity didn't come from physical resemblance, but from a sixth sense—presumably, the junior sister had already disguised herself, making her unrecognizable from her appearance alone.
However, he once used luck to evolve his sixth sense, allowing it to reach a realm closer to metaphysics.
Therefore, he has great faith in his intuition.
Chapter 454 Successfully Deceiving Junior Sister
"Lord Van Helsing, there are so many people looking at me."
As they approached the area where slaves were traded, Al-chan looked around curiously and asked Fan Xiao, "Am I popular?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiao looked around.
Many people cast lewd and malicious glances at the white-haired girl beside him.
However, upon catching a glimpse of his nearly two-meter-tall, muscular frame, these people quickly avoided eye contact with him and temporarily suppressed their impure thoughts.
This is one of the advantages of being large.
Even disregarding the player's identity, a person of this size standing on the street would be someone no one would dare to mess with.
Considering that players with such physiques are generally equated with cannibalistic players, even though those who stroll down this street are backed by the "Celestial Dragons" of the central city, who wield great power within the base, they dare not offend players of unknown identity.
"Remember these looks; they all indicate ill intent."
Fan Xiao instructed Al-chan, "These people probably want to capture you and sell you as a slave. You're someone I created, and this face... well, it'll easily fetch a sky-high price."
"Should we kill them?" Al-chan suggested.
"..."
Why is this artificial life form so murderous? Did I add so much violence to the program when I wrote it...? Fan Xiao reflected on himself for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We are acting now, it's not appropriate to kill people in the street."
"I see."
So it's okay to kill people in the street when you're not acting... Al-chan nodded her little head, indicating that she understood.
A short while later, Fan Xiao led the white-haired girl to the platform where the slaves were "placed".
Each slave wore a collar around their neck with a plaque containing brief information.
Fan Xiao glanced over and took a brief look.
"16 years old, virgin, stubborn personality, highly valuable for training."
"18 years old, virgin, shy, obedient and well-behaved."
"26 years old, married, gentle personality, knows a lot of techniques, and can tolerate a variety of perverted ways of playing."
"20 years old, male, taciturn, very strong, and hardworking."
"24 years old, male, proficient in mechanical repair technology..."
The slaves, their eyes lifeless, stood in a row on the stage, allowing the passing crowds to observe and judge them.
Their information plaques listed their age, gender, special skills, and so on.
Fan Xiao glanced around and found that in addition to slaves used to satisfy physical desires, there were many slaves doing hard labor, as well as a variety of "skilled jobs".
While observing the slaves, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at a plain-looking woman beside him. The woman was wearing a loose-fitting outfit, was in her twenties, had sallow skin, and looked somewhat malnourished. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail. At first glance, she was easily mistaken for one of the passersby and ignored without a trace of interest.
The sense of familiarity that Fan Xiao felt came from this woman.
Judging solely from visual appearance, even he wouldn't equate this woman with his junior sister, who was a beautiful young woman.
But intuition that arises out of nowhere doesn't lie.
Fan Xiao immediately activated his psionic powers and secretly gave Al-chan some instructions.
Soon, the white-haired girl faithfully carried out his orders.
The girl stood between Van Helsing and the woman with the low ponytail, and turned to Van Helsing, saying, "Lord Van Helsing, should we save these people?"
"..."
Fan Xiao remained silent.
The girl spoke again: "Lord Van Helsing?"
"..."
Fan Xiao remained silent for a few seconds before lowering his voice and replying in a deep, magnetic tone, "We've just arrived at this base, and it's not suitable for us to clash with the local forces."
"After entering the base, I inquired and found out that there are multiple B-level players inside."
“Once we take action, we will find ourselves in a very troublesome and dangerous situation.”
"So, we're not going to save them?" the girl asked.
Fan Xiao tilted his head and stared at the white-haired girl for a few seconds, then sighed as if he had given in and asked, "How have I always taught you about this kind of thing?"
"Do good deeds and don't worry about the future." The girl said calmly, "Don't think about the consequences for now, just make a choice that you won't regret."
"So, what should we do?" Fan Xiao asked.
“Save them,” the girl replied, “and save those old people outside too, and take them to Base A1.”
"Yes, Not Bad."
Fan Xiao nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said, "There are multiple B-level players in this base. With our strength, overthrowing the tyranny here is almost an impossible task."
"That's all we can do right now."
"As for this base... I hope that someone with this ability will appear in the future to end the suffering here."
After saying that, the two looked at each other, then looked away and silently approached the slave merchant guild members who were holding a large number of collar switches.
While concealing his aura and moving, Fan Xiao activated his spiritual energy, causing an eye to grow on the back of his head, hidden under his hair, silently observing the reaction of the woman with the low ponytail.
If the other party is indeed their junior sister, she will definitely react to their actions.
Although the scene he arranged in a hurry seemed a bit awkward... this is a conclusion that can only be drawn from his perspective. Presumably, it should be enough to fool a young and naive junior sister.
Moreover, he had previously guessed that his junior sister's identity was not simple and that she might be a member of the "Justice Organization" in Division 019, who came to this base to carry out a big operation. If this guess was correct, then his junior sister and the organization behind her certainly did not want to encounter any accidents before taking action, which would alert the enemy.
Therefore, the junior sister will definitely step forward to contact and stop him from being with the white-haired girl.
If the woman with the low ponytail isn't his junior sister, and his intuition is wrong... then it's not a big deal.
It was nothing more than killing the slave traders and freeing a group of slaves and a group of old people.
He never thinks he can do too many good deeds like this.
With the "Land of the Vanished Gods" in place, if a disturbance is caused, a permanent "Great Oblivion Spell" can be used to perfectly suppress the disturbance.
At that time, there will be no need to worry about any conflict with the local forces of this base... He is not afraid even if a conflict does occur; it will be a good opportunity to test the killing efficiency of the "Flesh and Blood Ancestor".
He has quite a few moves he'd like to try.
After these thoughts raced through his mind, Fan Xiao acted without hesitation.
As an artificial life form, the white-haired girl naturally had no hesitation and was completely fearless—the concept of fear did not exist in her mind.
The aura emanating from the two of them made it clear that they were not joking.
The woman with the low ponytail standing at the back frowned slightly upon seeing this.
She quickly took a few steps forward, grabbed Fan Xiao and the white-haired girl with both hands, and then, meeting their wary gazes, said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Calm down and come with me."
After saying that, she ignored their resistance and dragged them toward a less crowded alley in the distance.
Hooked!
It seems that the other party is undoubtedly the junior sister.
"My junior sister is so easy to fool..." Fan Xiao hesitated, wondering whether he should take action now.
"If I activate my talent now, my junior sister's spiritual energy will also sense the danger and activate accordingly. At that time, I will enter a state of stillness, and only my junior sister and Qiqi will be able to move... At such close range, my junior sister will most likely not be able to react in time, and Qiqi's attack will precede her escape."
"However... Qiqi can only move in a higher dimension. Once she is reduced to a lower dimension and materialized, she will also fall into a static state. Under such a harsh restriction, it is almost impossible for her to catch her junior sister in a peaceful way. So she will most likely cripple her junior sister's limbs first... Well, this is a deadly feud."
"The items my junior sister possesses are currently unknown. Among them, there might be items that allow her to teleport. Even if her limbs are crippled, it won't affect her ability to escape. As for me, I am in a stationary state and cannot activate any items that can seal off space."
Thinking of this, Fan Xiao suppressed his urge to take action.
He just wanted to leave a negative impression on his junior sister to avoid any potential "emotional debts"—it wasn't that he was narcissistic, but just taking precautions in advance—in short, he didn't want to really have any life-or-death feud with his junior sister.
Knowing that his junior sister carries many responsibilities, forcibly taking her away without explanation, even if successful, would likely backfire.
"This is really troublesome psionic energy..."
Fan Xiao changed his strategy, suppressing the restless urge he felt based on his current advantageous conditions, and decided to act according to the wish he had made earlier.
First, we need to investigate and find out more information about our junior sister.
After choosing to remain silent, he and Al-chan were soon pulled into a dark alley by the woman with the low ponytail.
After making sure no one was around, Fan Xiao shook off the woman with the low ponytail's hand and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
Seeing this, Al-chan followed suit and flung the other person's hand away.
“You don’t need to know who I am,” the woman with the low ponytail said, not angry at their rudeness. “I brought you here just to remind you that now is not the time to fight.”
"What do you mean?" Fan Xiao remained vigilant.
“If you want to save them, you’ll have to wait a bit,” the woman with the low ponytail replied. “After tonight… I doubt those people will need your help anymore.”
"baffling!"
Fan Xiao frowned and said, "We didn't resist just now because we were giving you face. I didn't expect you to be someone who doesn't even dare to reveal his name... What exactly is your purpose?"
"I told you, I brought you here just to give you a heads-up."
The woman with the low ponytail said, "There are five B-level players stationed inside the A9 base. They happen to be inside the base right now. If you cause trouble, you won't be able to escape."
"..."
After a few seconds of silence, Fan Xiao said, "Before I left Division 019, although it was chaotic here, everyone huddled together for warmth, so it was still somewhat cozy."
"Now... this A9 base is like hell, they've even reinstated slavery!"
"If I hesitate now about whether or not to save people, what's the point of my returning to my hometown?"
Upon hearing this, the woman with the low ponytail softened her expression slightly.
She said, "What you're doing is no different from sending people to their deaths! This isn't how you save people."
Even if you're not worried about your own safety, aren't you at all worried about your companions?
“Al is a good girl,” Fan Xiao glanced at the white-haired girl, then looked away and met the eyes of the woman with the low ponytail. “She is always prepared, which is fundamentally different from a coward like you who hides his face and is afraid of death.”
Upon hearing this, Al-chan promptly put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and raised her head, displaying a proud demeanor in a dignified manner.
"..."
The woman with the low ponytail frowned and said, "Your actions will alert the enemy! They will ruin our plans!"
"So, who exactly are you?" Fan Xiao frowned and asked, "And who are 'you'? Such vague answers, yet you expect us to believe you? Don't you think that's a bit ridiculous?"
The woman with the low ponytail remained silent for a few seconds, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
According to these two people... they are both local players from the 019 division who came back from other divisions.
She didn't really doubt this. The 019 zone was very chaotic before. Many players went to other stable zones to seek development after they reached the D level.
Many of these people, after improving their abilities, eventually returned to their district because they missed their hometown and intended to help the district become better.
There are quite a few members in the Holy Sword Alliance who have had this experience.
Therefore, she did not doubt their identities; on the contrary, she felt a greater sense of approval towards them.
The plan was extremely secretive. All the Holy Sword Alliance members involved in the operation were transferred through the teacher's instance. In addition, she had completely disguised her identity and changed her attire... She didn't believe anyone would recognize her and approach to test her.
Only her teacher knew what she looked like.
Her real-life identity and her identity as a member of the Holy Sword Alliance are completely separate.
She never showed her true face when participating in the Holy Sword Alliance's many operations.
In short, no one could possibly recognize her—even if a player possessed special abilities and saw through her disguise, they would at most consider her a player hiding her appearance and not wanting to cause trouble, and would not think of her as a member of the Holy Sword Alliance.
After these thoughts raced through her mind, the woman with the low ponytail decided to recruit the two people in front of her.
