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

Hearing that the person was heading towards the laboratory, Jing Shan felt a little relieved and analyzed, "A-level players aren't rare. They couldn't possibly have passed through our outer defense system silently, unless... the other party possesses A-level spacetime psionic energy. Could it be that Zhuang Yan sent them?"

“How rare is A-level spacetime psionic energy? I’ve never heard of such a person in the solemn faction.”

Duran frowned and said, "Compared to psionic energy, it's more likely to be a dungeon transfer. Dungeon transfers are handled by the evolution game, which is at the highest level and can easily ignore our defense system."

“If it’s a dungeon, it will be a bit difficult to deal with,” Sheng Zi said. “Even if we are stronger than the rats that have infiltrated, if they have no will to fight and just run away… we don’t have any high-level spacetime artifacts that can lock onto dungeon traces. There are very few people who have these things, and most of them are used to feed experimental subjects.”

She shook her head: "If we arrest them directly, they might escape. We need to think of a different approach."

At this point, she sighed softly, "It's a pity we didn't get the 'Boundary Sealing' permit, otherwise dealing with intruders would be much easier."

"The 'Sealed Boundary' thing is so powerful that the entire Wing has fewer than one member in total, and it's all controlled by the big boss. You think you can just apply for it like that?" Jing Shan shook his head and said, "Don't have unrealistic ideas."

He paused for a moment, then suggested, "Returning to the instance requires a specific ritual. If we act quickly, we should be able to suppress them before they complete their ritual... What do you think?"

"The fact that the other party was able to infiltrate silently suggests that the dungeon ritual was a very rare and extremely simple one," Sheng Zi shook her head and said. "Perhaps returning to the dungeon is just a gesture or a few thoughts away. Who knows? Doing this is too risky; the other party might escape."

"Then let's use dungeons to fight dungeons."

Duran then offered a proposal: "My instance is docked at my home base and can't connect. I can only... rely on local forces."

At this point, he took out a high-level communication device, brought it to his lips, and said, "Samael, there's an intruder in the research institute. I need your cooperation in carrying out a capture operation..."

……

The young man... Du Lan, stopped in front of Fan Xiao and spoke, his voice slightly cold: "When I first heard Sheng Zi say that a rat had sneaked in, I thought she was joking, but I didn't expect... that a reckless rat would actually be running around in the institute."

"Little mouse, are you wondering how you were discovered?"

Behind them, the alluring woman… Sheng Zi, spoke in a slightly mocking tone: “Hehe, your little hacking tricks are practically transparent to us. We’re done playing with you now, so we’re here to capture you… You’re about to die, aren’t you feeling hopeless?”

"Are you trying to show off?"

*Pfft*—A second head suddenly sprouted from Fan Xiao's neck, facing the alluring woman: "I, Reinhardt, hate those damn bitches who can't speak properly the most! What the hell are you showing off for? Idiot!"

"..."

Sheng Zi narrowed her eyes, her gaze becoming unusually dangerous.

She originally wanted to mess with the other person's mentality, but unexpectedly... the other person's foul language messed with her mentality instead.

That's a fucking bastard!

And the other party's ability... grew a second head?

Why is this so weird?

"You managed to break through our defenses by teleporting in from a dungeon, didn't you?" Sheng Zi sneered. "Try it now, see if you can get out."

"You guys are pretty quick."

Fan Xiao glanced at the pop-up player panel, where a dungeon information notification had already appeared.

The "Paradise" instance is now open.

If I remember correctly, this is the copy of Samael that he is going to investigate next.

I didn't expect that before I even used the train ticket Lu Baizhi gave me, the dungeon had already forcibly appeared on its own...

Fan Xiao's second head stared at Sheng Zi and Jing Shan for a moment: "I'm a little curious, which Sword Tomb thing discovered my Reinhardt's whereabouts?"

"..." Sheng Zi's expression turned icy: "You're courting death!"

"Enough! Sheng Zi, stop wasting your breath on a mouse!"

Duran, who was standing in front of Fan Xiao, spoke up at this moment: "Although the experiment at the research institute has not started yet, it still needs A-level players to be in charge of guarding it. We can't leave for too long."

"Let's finish this quickly! Once you've extracted the information from his head, you can kill him."

Chapter 649 Starting Position

Fan Xiao hadn't expected the battle to start so quickly!

To be honest, he was quite confident in his ability to conceal himself.

In any case, it is based on the concealment of traces of the "Delusional Kingdom".

Although Yan Keke's psychic ability is not an A-level ability specifically used for concealment, the title of "highest level of psychic ability" is well-deserved, and she is outstanding in terms of concealment.

I never expected things to go wrong in such a small research institute.

And besides covert methods...

"Didn't Bai Zhi pray for me? Or... is this the result of her prayers?"

A hint of doubt arose in Fan Xiao's mind.

Logically, since he is currently receiving Lu Baizhi's blessing, he shouldn't be accidentally discovered by the enemy.

Unless... the enemy's reconnaissance methods exceed the limits of Lu Baizhi's luck, or the probability of being discovered while infiltrating here is 100%, an absolute event with no room for luck.

But if that's the case... why wasn't he immediately noticed when he first came in?

As for the alluring woman's explanation—that the other side wanted to play with him first before killing him… as someone who often tells lies, he naturally wouldn't believe other people's lies.

He went to the lecture hall and listened to a lot of confidential information about the cultivation experiments.

Why would the other party be so kind, thinking they had victory in their grasp, and let him run around and do whatever he wanted?

No one but an idiot would do something so mortifying.

The most likely explanation is that the other side probably discovered him along the way.

So the question comes back to the beginning—since it was only discovered halfway through, it means that the chance of being discovered after the intrusion was not 100%. With Lu Baizhi's help, he shouldn't have run into any trouble.

However, something happened to him.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Working backward from the result to the cause—his being caught red-handed, forcing him to start the war prematurely, should have been advantageous to him.

Further speculation... suggests that if this battle is delayed any longer, it will be detrimental.

Harmful... Why is it harmful?

Because we'll lose?

With these three people, plus Samael, who is the dungeon boss, they shouldn't pose a threat to him.

unless……

With his mind racing, Fan Xiao considered a possibility—unless multiple forces were targeting him and all of them converged to attack him together.

The three men in the One Wing and Samael are just two of the factions involved.

"There really are treacherous subjects who want to harm me!"

BOOM—as he thought of this, Fan Xiao's body exploded, turning into countless writhing flesh and blood that continued to expand and spread across the floor and walls.

Then, dozens of "Fan Xiaos" crawled out of the writhing flesh at the same time, their eyes looking at Du Lan, Sheng Zi, and Jing Shan respectively.

One of them, Fan Xiao, suddenly said to Duran, "Do you think I, Ryan Hart, am giving you face? A moron like you dares to call me 'Grandpa Ryan the Rat'? Today, Grandpa Ryan will kill you!"

"Ha... a rat that relies on its sharp tongue is still a rat."

Duran sneered, "You think you can fool us by creating clones?"

As a core member of One Wing, he naturally possesses psychic abilities.

Any psychic energy can enhance a player's mental senses, making them extremely perceptive.

The effects are particularly noticeable with higher-grade products.

For example, right now, with just a slight sense, he discovered that the other party's mental activity was moving within the flesh and blood covering the walls and floor, and was not at all within the dozens of clones on the floor.

Duran could feel his flesh and blood beginning to stir restlessly, as if it were gradually slipping out of his control.

Presumably, the same applies to Jing Shan and Sheng Zi; this restlessness likely stems from the enemy's ability to attack.

In an instant, a dark power surged from his mind and quickly sank into the writhing flesh below.

The Sleeping Plague!

His psychic abilities excel at attacking consciousness and silent contemplation.

Whoosh—a storm mixed with shrill cries swept up, counteracting the dark power surging into the flesh and blood.

The sea of ​​blood released by Fan Xiao began to take shape, and a chaotic wind of will was born.

The storm that could tear apart the mind neutralized the dark power unleashed by Duran.

"Something's wrong!"

Behind Fan Xiaoqun, Sheng Zi's expression suddenly turned serious as she reminded her two teammates, "He's still spreading! Very fast! It's already spread... Oh no! This is breaking the limit!"

Sheng Zi sensed that Fan Xiao's spreading spirit had become unusually active, and was brewing some kind of powerful move.

The next second, the "Fan Xiao swarm" on the ground began to pounce on the three of them.

Before they even got close, these "Fan Xiao" transformed into terrifying monsters, waving tentacles with suction cups, opening their huge mouths, and revealing ferocious fangs as they lunged at the three of them.

At the same time, the flesh and blood on the ground, walls, and ceiling came to life, surging towards the three like a tidal wave.

In an instant, the three were trapped in a prison of flesh and blood, their bodies constantly being attacked.

"Little tricks."

Duran snorted coldly, showing no fear.

These attacks only look scary; in reality, they're nothing to brag about.

He has discovered that these writhing flesh and roaring monsters do not possess spirit, are not normal life forms, and cannot be interfered with by spirit. For most psychic energy users, they are natural enemies.

But the core members of their One Wing possess more than just psychic abilities.

Psionic energy is merely a necessary condition for entering the core.

Besides, One Wing has accumulated an unimaginable amount of psionic experience, so why wouldn't it use it on its own people?

Therefore, all outstanding One-Wing Core members basically possess two kinds of psionic abilities.

For example, Sheng Zi and Jing Shan.

Duran, on the other hand, possesses three types of psionic abilities, all of which are B-grade—this is why he was able to become the team leader.

At his level, he had almost reached the pinnacle, standing at the top among the core members.

Psychic powers cannot be awakened in any quantity one desires.

Three – that's the limit for most players.

Three or more will only appear on a small number of S-level players.

To go further, one would probably need to awaken A-level psionic energy, which is another realm altogether.

As a top-tier member, Durant was naturally not intimidated by a small-scale event that was merely impressive in scale.

In an instant, he used his second type of psychic power.

The Body of Purgatory—Any substance touched by him will become flammable and burn rapidly, turning into ashes in black flames.

Water, ice, and air are no exception.

He would even set fire to any props that were tangible.

Boom! The flesh and blood near Duran exploded, turning into black ashes and dissipating.

The air around him began to distort and burst into flames, black flames erupting and spreading rapidly toward the dozen or so monsters that were rushing toward him!

The flames weren't particularly hot, but strangely, when they touched a dozen or so monsters, the monsters also started to burn and turned to ashes in just two or three seconds.

This is the second level of contact with the "Hellish Body".

Although the effect will be greatly reduced, it will be enough to deal with these monsters.

The black flames spread out in one breath, destroying dozens of crazed monsters and all the writhing flesh around them, until there was nothing left to burn, and then disappeared into the air.

The area around Duran and his two companions became clean and empty.

The research institute's floors, walls, and ceiling were all burned down—Samael's instance will drag and engulf the player and parts of the surrounding real-world environment into the instance.

This is why their surroundings remained unchanged even though they were drawn into the instance.

The research institute corridor that had been dragged in disappeared, revealing the real dungeon environment.

Under the dim yellow light, the new floor, walls, and ceiling appeared.
