“Quite a few people know about this,” Fan Xiao sighed. “Amitabha.”

"?"

The Mammon player was completely bewildered.

Why are you suddenly worshipping Buddha?

Fan Xiao continued, "Alright, you should recover from your injuries first. Once I've finished dealing with things here, we'll head to your boss's place."

The Mammon player's injuries were not caused by the Little Angel using the Blood Scythe.

So recovery isn't that complicated.

If there were a B-grade item specifically designed for repair, broken limbs might be able to heal in an instant.

"The Land Where Gods Have Passed Away".

Fan Xiao then murmured something to himself.

The next instant, the realm of oblivion enveloped the entire moving bus.

With his current A-level mental strength, it would be very easy for him to use "The Land of the Fallen Gods" again to permanently forget someone's memories for a short period of time.

Especially since those currently on the bus are C-level players and ordinary people with relatively weak mental strength, it would be even easier for him to do this.

Soon, Fan Xiao completed the forgetting operation.

This is a precautionary measure taken just in case.

He didn't really want others to know about Lu Baizhi's special circumstances.

After doing that, he went up to the Mammon player and plucked a tuft of hair from his hair.

The Mammon player groaned in pain, but dared not resist, only asking, "What...what do you want my hair for?"

"After we get out, I'll tell the others that I've killed you."

Fan Xiao's eyes swept over the other person's shoulders and forehead.

Instantly, on the Mammon player's right shoulder, the skin and flesh split open, and an eye grew out.

Fan Xiao continued, "I've left marks on your shoulder and in your mind. You can leave now. I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with things here."

"It's still in your mind!?"

The Mammon player felt the strange sensation in his right shoulder, then touched his forehead, revealing an expression of discomfort as if he had eaten shit.

“Yes,” Fan Xiao said with a smile, “the markings on your shoulders are for location tracking, so I can keep track of your position.”

"What about the brain?" the Mammon player asked quickly.

"What's in your brain... hey, it's naturally a kind of insurance measure," Fan Xiao said. "After one day, if I'm not in control, your brain will be directly contaminated by the methods I left behind, and you'll be dead."

"..." The Mammon player's eye twitched, then he asked, "Then... you pulled my hair..."

"Add some causal relationships needed for cursed items."

Fan Xiao tucked the hair he had pulled out into the black book that had suddenly appeared in his hand, and replied truthfully, "If I can no longer sense your mark, I will curse you to death immediately."

"..."

I'm just a lowly C-level player, how could I possibly deserve your cautious treatment? I really don't deserve it... Mammon player wanted to curse inwardly!

Seeing that the warning was starting to have an effect, Fan Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

His words were not empty threats or intimidation... He really had prepared the methods he mentioned!

He never resorts to tricks when dealing with evil parties.

"Let me see you out first."

Fan Xiao reminded the Mammon player.

Then, he temporarily switched to a C-grade item he had inherited after killing the player earlier, and murmured, "The Wrath of That Moon."

The lamp stove appeared in his hand.

Inside the dark hut and fifty meters away from the bus, eerie blue flames simultaneously lit up.

The flames inside the cabin engulfed the Mammon player, instantly teleporting him to the flames outside the vehicle.

The C-rank item "That Moon's Fury" allows for 7 fire transfers per day, with a transfer range of 50 meters.

In addition, if the player wants, the flames released by this item can exert terrifying heat and can be manipulated by the item owner at will, with the total amount of flames covering an area of ​​1000 square meters.

It's like a small sea of ​​fire.

The C-level player who boarded the Little Crab Bus earlier planned to use the item's flame shape control function to cover the entire interior of the bus with a ghostly blue flame, sealing off the interior space and preventing others from escaping.

Unfortunately, before the overlay was complete, the item was randomly selected by the little angel's jealousy ability and was temporarily removed.

After sending the Mammon player away, Fan Xiao put away the items and removed the dark hut.

The shadow beneath his feet twitched and returned to its normal shape, its color no longer so deep.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Fan Xiao appear.

Because they had forgotten a part of their memory, they all felt a little disoriented.

In their understanding, Fan Xiao had only been in the small dark room with that Mammon player for less than a minute before coming out.

What can be accomplished in such a short time?

And what about that Mammon member?

They killed him to silence him after the conversation?

There wasn't even a corpse... How horrible!

Tanya moved closer and asked, "That guy..."

"You really want to know?"

Fan Xiao smiled and asked a question in return.

Upon hearing this, Tanya immediately conjured up more than a dozen nauseatingly gory scenes in her mind, her body trembled slightly, and she did not ask any further questions.

She changed the subject, saying with a sigh, "I never imagined you were a member of Mammon."

Although she looked surprised, she wasn't surprised at all inside.

why?

“Many people join Mammon,” Fan Xiao said nonchalantly. “Not everyone in Mammon is crazy. Many people choose to join because of the platform’s great convenience. Being a Mammon member doesn’t mean anything. Don’t label me with prejudice.”

No, I think the claim that Mammon is the source of chaos and a gathering place for lunatics is not an exaggeration at all... Tanya thought to herself.

The fact that Vanshaw was a member of Mammon further solidified her prejudice against the Mammon organization.

Of course, she wouldn't reveal this thought to herself.

After all, she's not without emotional intelligence.

"Is that so?"

Tanya then gave a look of sudden realization and said...

Your acting is a bit over the top... Fan Xiao really wants to complain.

At this moment, the four players in black uniforms inside the car mustered their courage and approached.

The team leader was a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and a serious expression.

Upon approaching Van Shaw, he said, "Thank you for your help earlier. My name is Conrad, and I'm a member of the Special Operations Team responsible for maintaining security in this area."

After introducing himself, he asked, "By the way, you... are you also a member of Mammon?"

“Are you prejudiced against Mammon?” Van Shaw asked.

"Uh... it's alright." Conrad said against his will, "The Mammon industry is very large and diverse, with all sorts of people. You can't generalize with just a few negative reviews. Mammon players like you who are willing to help strangers... do exist."

And sure enough, he saw it today.

See you a long time!

Conrad continued, "By the way, what's your name?"

This question immediately touched on Fan Xiao's area of ​​expertise.

Fan Xiao smiled and replied, "Zhuang Bi Fan."

"..." Conrad: "It's a... it's a very distinctive name."

"It's just a name, why are you overthinking it?" Fan Xiao said, "You're getting too attached to it."

"You're really taking advantage of my kindness, aren't you..." Conrad asked. "By the way, how did Mr. Fan know we were in trouble and come to help?"

"I have good hearing and I wasn't far from this car." Fan Xiao readily accepted the favor, saying, "I heard fighting and knew someone was in trouble, so I came over to check on the situation."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, was your special operations team sent by Lach City?"

“Yes,” Conrad sighed, “Recently, too many players have flooded into the 011 section, and we were temporarily reassigned here to maintain stability and security. I never expected to encounter Mammon’s stupidity… uh, I’m not talking about you, Mr. Fan.”

Ignoring the other party's sweeping generalization, Fan Xiao continued, "What's the Special Operations Team's status in Lach City? I have something I might need your help with..."

He briefly recounted the story of the villagers of Hongcun.

After hearing this, Conrad and the other three all showed expressions of astonishment.

"What? You came from Red and White Village? And you brought the people from there out with you...!?"

Chapter 559 All-Time Node Channel

Conrad and his three teammates remained surprised for a while after learning about Van Shaw and his companions' origins.

Noticing their expressions, Tanya cautiously asked, "Is there a problem with Red and White Village? You all seem to know about this instance?"

"Not long after the Evolution Game came to our 011 district, the Red and White Village appeared."

A look of reminiscence flashed in Conrad's eyes as he began to recount past stories: "However, the original Red and White Village did not appear as a dungeon; it was initially caused by a disaster triggered by a mountain spirit."

"A thick white fog enveloped the entire White City. At that time, there weren't many players in the entire 011 division, and even fewer in White City. There were probably fewer than 20 D-level players, very few indeed."

"During that disaster, ordinary people and players in White City suffered greatly, with countless deaths and injuries, and only a small number of people escaped."

"Gradually, White City fell into ruin, and then the Red and White Village dungeon was created, initially as a D-level dungeon."

"First came the extraordinary disaster, then the copies were created..."

Tanya seemed to be deep in thought.

She comes from a relatively old merge zone, where most of the dungeons that were supposed to be created locally have already been created, so she has hardly ever witnessed what happens when a new dungeon is created.

She had heard that some real-world counterparts were indeed accompanied by many catastrophic events before they appeared.

For example, in the early stages of the creation of some paranormal dungeons, the area where the dungeon is located will begin to be haunted...

"The death of nearly an entire city is indeed a major historical event."

Similar events occurred in Fan Xiao's own world division. In the early stages of the dungeon's creation, many paranormal phenomena appeared in the city—he had even completed that dungeon.

He asked, "And then what? A city fell. Did the people in Division 011 consider dealing with the Red and White Village instance?"

"Of course I've considered it!"

Conrad said, "However, at that time in Division 011, the major forces had not yet united. They were all looking out for themselves, and it was already good enough if they didn't kick each other when they were down. As for providing assistance..."

He shook his head: "Back then, such a thing would have been almost impossible. This gave the Red and White Village instance time to grow... or rather, it gave the instance boss, the Ghost Queen, time to grow. As a result, White City and the surrounding area became a forbidden zone for life."

"After the major forces in Division 011 united and realized that they could no longer let the Ghost Queen grow stronger, an A-level player finally made a move."

"The result was a failure! That A-level player almost got killed by the Ghost Queen in the dungeon!"

“From then on, Hongbai Village and its surrounding area became a complete no-go zone, and no one dared to go there anymore. If any of us from the district got a ticket to Hongbai Village, we would throw it away without hesitation.”

"so……"

So you should understand just how incredible it is to bring the villagers of Red and White Village out here—Conrad looked at Van Shaw with admiration, his eyes seemingly holding those words.

Fan Xiao asked, "How many A-level players do you have in your 011 division?"

“Including those who have retired, there are three in total,” Conrad said. “The one who has retired is the one who previously fought against the Demon Queen, and is also the current governor of Lach City.”

"Retired Grade A..."

No wonder he was almost killed by the Ghost Queen... Fan Xiao thought to himself.
