“We want to know too,” the smiling man, Mada, sneered, turning his gaze to Mei. “Can you tell us what happened, Your Highness? Why did you replace our employer? Where is the employer?”

"Princess..." Fan Xiao was somewhat surprised: "She's a princess? From which princess? From the royal family of Division 001?"

“That’s right.” The gentlemanly man answered the question: “Melissa Celen, one of the candidates for the next Queen, I didn’t expect to meet you here… Was your replacement of our employer a setup from the beginning, or… just a coincidence?”

His words implied a willingness to back down—he hoped it was just a coincidence!

It wasn't that he was afraid of the other party.

Once you reach the B-level player stage, the gap between ordinary players and second-generation players is very small, at least at the point where they fall behind.

Everyone's using B-grade items, so who's afraid of who when it comes to fighting?

As for A-grade items... these are treasured by A-grade players who are behind the game's tier, how could they possibly use them to show off to the younger generation in their family?

If things go wrong, a character dies and their items are recycled by the game... and there's nowhere to cry!

Lang Mo was not afraid of Melissa Celen's power.

With the other players' positions unknown, the opposing team only has two people, while they, along with Fan Jieqiang, make three, giving them the advantage.

However... if something happens to Melissa Celen, the consequences will be very troublesome!

After they clear the dungeon and leave, they might be hunted down by A-level players... so they must be careful.

"Would you believe me if I said it was just a coincidence?"

Melissa's smile faded slightly: "Since the disguise has been exposed, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Six months ago, the daughter of the Marquis of Taran died in the dungeon despite hiring two guardians."

"Afterwards, under pressure from the aristocratic faction, the people with white shoulder patches launched an investigation using A-grade tools and found that the two hired guards came from Division 004, Star Memory City."

"And they didn't die in the dungeon; they successfully cleared it and left."

"..." Lang Mo frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? Does Your Highness... suspect us?"

"Yes."

Melissa stated without hesitation, "I posted a B-level Guardian mercenary mission on the mercenary platform. My purpose, of course, was to fish for some fish."

"Of course, whether the person who accepted the mission is the murderer who took the bait, or a mercenary who is simply here to make money... this needs to be verified."

At this point, she said with a slightly emotional tone, "Although some minor accidents happened after entering this instance, the instance's rule against disguises made luck work in my favor."

"So, could you two show me the colors of your player IDs?"

"I want to see if it's black."

"..."

Neither the gentlemanly man Mo nor the smiling man Mada reacted.

Seeing this, Melissa's smile faded slightly: "Whether you show your numbers or not is actually irrelevant now."

Her gaze fell on Fan Xiao: "Mr. Fan, I'm not sure if you're a cannibal player. What I just said was more like what I said to them than to you."

"Look, after they heard you say you're a cannibal player, they immediately moved closer to you and even wanted to team up with you... Heh, instinct is the most reliable thing to do."

"Does Mr. Fan think those two are cannibalistic players?"

"..."

"Damn it, trying to show off, huh..." Fan Xiao immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! Who's a cannibal player? They approached me because Lang Mo and I are both Mammon members. We're both Mammons, so what's wrong with teaming up? What does that have to do with cannibal players?"

He brandished a red card that had appeared in his hand and continued, "Country bumpkin! Have you ever seen the Key of Mammon? You've said all that, but you haven't considered that our three-person team was formed for some other reason, have you? No way! This reasoning is so obviously flawed, and you still proudly say it out loud. Aren't you ashamed?"

"..."

Melissa clenched her small fists silently.

This guy... she really wanted to punch Fan Xiao to death.

She said, "I have only one goal: to avenge my friend! Get out of my way! You are not my target."

Melissa's gaze turned cold as she looked at Lang Mo and Ma Da.

"Hmph, I only call you Princess because of your status." Mada's sneer deepened: "You've gone too far... Who do you think you are? Three against two, if you have the guts to fight back, then come and try!"

"The dungeon has only just opened. Are you sure you want to fight us?" Lang Mo backed down, saying, "This is a B-rank dungeon, not some small fry!"

"That's right. Little girl, use your brain! Don't be so arrogant. As a human being, I advise you to be kind!" Fan Xiao seized the opportunity to fan the flames, saying, "Don't rely on your lousy princess status to run around and act all high and mighty. This is a dungeon, not your royal family. Here, you're nobody!"

Lang Mo: "..."

"...Hehe, Élisabeth, we might need to add another target."

Chapter 588 Ah, I'm Dead

Seeing Melissa's expression turn cold, Fan Xiao knew he had successfully stirred up trouble.

He wasn't being a jerk; he just wanted others to step on his landmine first.

If these people start fighting and don't stop, what might happen if they hurt the students here?

The second tip from the game is: Please abide by the laws of the City of True Love.

Although he didn't know what laws existed, assaulting someone... based on common sense, such behavior is illegal everywhere.

Furthermore, since players are now also residents of the City of True Love, wouldn't it be illegal for them to harm each other?

Thinking of this, he shouted again, "Brother Lang Mo, Brother Ma Da, let's teach this little brat a lesson!"

As he spoke, he walked forward, displaying an air of being ready to take the lead.

Seeing this, Lang Mo's suspicions lessened slightly—he suspected that this guy was deliberately stirring things up to embarrass him.

The Mammon organization has many of these sword tombs!

"Brother Fan, please wait a moment..."

"We've already been looked down upon by a brat! What the hell are we waiting for!"

After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Melissa, who had just finished preparing the props.

"Zeus's Thunder!"

He murmured something.

The next second, the "blood armor" on his shoulder began to wriggle, loading the genes of the electric eel.

A powerful electric current gathered, piercing through the air and striking Melissa and Elise like a snake.

"Ah……"

Melissa chuckled softly.

The electric current that was spreading forward began to weaken and dissipate when it got within three meters of her, and finally disappeared like a bursting bubble when it was two meters away from her.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"Damn it!" Lang Mo cursed inwardly.

Why did this guy attack?!

And with such a weak attack... how dare you be so arrogant?

How dare you!

"A cemetery from which there is no escape!"

"Brain overload!"

"A certificate of best friend!"

Suddenly, Elise activated three props.

Suddenly, mounds of earth appeared out of thin air in the corridors, classrooms, and the grounds outside the school building, turning the school into a cemetery in an instant.

The inescapable cemetery—as the name suggests, it is a restrictive item. Its effect is to restrict teleportation within a limited space.

At the same time, Lang Mo and Ma Da both felt their thinking speed slowing down, and the time it took to process a single thought was constantly increasing.

Moreover, their hostility towards Melissa and Elizabeth suddenly dropped to a very low level, and they had no intention of attacking each other at all.

Even Fan Xiao was affected to some extent... but not by much.

His mental strength, having reached the A-level range, helped him withstand most of the effects of the B-level items.

He didn't even need to open the "Gates of the Incredible Kingdom" to resist.

However, on the surface, he still pretended to be someone who had been infected.

At this moment, Melissa walked forward, raised her right hand, extended her finger, and pointed at Fan Xiao from a distance.

A massive, invisible force spread out, lifting Fan Xiao up and suspending him in mid-air. A chilling sensation swept over his body, and immense fear gripped him... With a loud "bang," Fan Xiao exploded!

The body, torn to pieces, was scattered throughout the corridor.

Melissa: "..."

Oh my god... when did she become so amazing?

She did possess telekinesis, capable of tearing someone's body apart, but... she didn't try!

She simply wanted to use her psychic powers to control the other person, so how did this happen?

On the other side, when Lang Mo and Ma Da saw Fan Xiao's miserable death, their sluggish consciousness cleared up considerably, and even the dissipated hostility began to rise fiercely from their hearts again.

What a terrifying power!

A B-level player just killed me without hesitation... There's no room for compromise!

Taking advantage of their heightened state of consciousness as a conditioned reflex, the two immediately launched their attack items.

"The Domain Without Entirety!"

"Hell has invaded!"

*Thud...* The floor began to break and collapse, and the debris instantly turned into dust.

Uncomplete domain – a domain in which objects do not possess a complete form.

Everything in the realm will be constantly cut, divided into two, then into four... until it becomes particles smaller than dust.

At the same time, the air became scorching hot—no, the air itself burst into flames, and a fiery red glow began to spread along the corridor. A sulfurous smell permeated the air, and many students nearby fainted on the spot after smelling it.

The boundless realm and the hellish flames that defied common sense and burned the air simultaneously attacked Melissa.

As had happened before, the attack weakened and dissipated once it got within three meters of Melissa.

However, unlike before, this time, the two attacks traveled a greater distance forward than the electric shocks that Fan Xiao had released previously.

A small portion of the attack crossed three meters and landed on Melissa.

Melissa's expression was calm, with the corners of her mouth turned up as if she were mocking someone.

Her figure suddenly became semi-transparent.

The evil god—that's the psychic power she awakened.

Humans always create all sorts of supernatural stories out of fear. Diverse vengeful spirits, ghosts, vengeful spirits, and other malevolent beings appear in these stories, and they... or rather, most of them possess very similar abilities.

For example, teleportation, passing through walls, teleportation, becoming invisible, fear aura, possession... Melissa can collect supernatural legends through the psychic power of "evil spirits" and replicate the abilities shared by these evil spirits onto herself.

It's like loading a plugin.

Of course, she couldn't simply load whatever ability she wanted.

The more exaggerated the capability, the lower the success rate of loading.

The probability of loading an ability that is too miraculous is practically zero.

Furthermore, due to the limitations of her mental capacity, there is a limit to the number of abilities she can acquire.

At this moment, she was using the ethereal power of a vengeful spirit.

In this state, she is immune to all physical attacks and can only be affected by powerful mental attacks.

The attacks that pierced through her defensive gear and hurtled towards her all missed their mark.

Melissa's lips curled into a slightly cold smile as she took a few steps closer to Lang Mo and Ma Da.

Lang Mo and Ma Da are still trapped in the negative effects of "slow thinking" and "reduced hostility," and their reactions are getting slower and slower.

Realizing that they would be defeated if things continued this way, they hardened their expressions and activated the second-stage transformation skill from the evolution rate.
