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

The elongated blood scythe, like harvesting wheat, slaughtered monsters on the ground, cutting down entire swathes with a single stroke.

The monsters that were originally immortal were easily slaughtered, and the floor was covered with signs of destruction.

In just two or three seconds, Fan Xiao ended the battle and used the "Flesh and Blood Ancestor" spiritual energy to repair his body, which was about to turn into a dried-up corpse.

The two little angels carried him and continued flying upwards, while the remaining fourteen swung their scythes and slashed at the ceiling.

Hundreds of slashes were unleashed continuously in a short period of time, forming a dense attack network.

Boom! The indestructible ceiling was instantly torn apart, leaving a hole.

Fan Xiao was too lazy to find the correct way to leave the enclosed room, so he directly entered a rampage mode, breaking through upwards in one breath.

Chapter 654 If I were to defect to the enemy, how would you respond?

at the same time.

Inside the luxurious palace with its futuristic sci-fi atmosphere, Samael sensed the unusual changes occurring in the instance, and his expression grew increasingly serious.

Every corner of the entire Paradise instance is under his surveillance.

He can observe anything that happens in the instance through mental projection, as long as it is not obscured by special abilities.

Fan Xiao's actions of killing all the rule monsters he had transferred there, breaking through the ceiling of the closed room, and causing slaughter and destruction throughout the entire instance, all appeared in his mind as projections.

The other party didn't even try to hide it.

It perfectly illustrates what it means to be completely unscrupulous!

Samael's face grew increasingly grim.

He had hesitated a bit about Durant's suggestion earlier—he didn't want to take the blame and clean up the mess for those two guys!

But now he has no choice.

Samael said with a slightly anxious tone, "The situation is a bit bad! The indestructible rules of the dungeon can't hold him back at all, and he's killed all those immortal monsters!"

"At this rate, he won't encounter any obstacles at all when he's gathering intelligence in my instance!"

"If he were a little smarter... completing the dungeon quest would be a piece of cake for him!"

"He'll be able to clear the level and leave soon, causing chaos everywhere. You all need to get out there before him, gather B-level players, and set up an ambush!"

When he said these words, Samael's tone was a mixture of disbelief and deep helplessness.

The process of deciphering the Paradise instance, which involves uncovering hidden history, is actually not difficult.

Because a lot of information is placed directly and conspicuously within the instance. For example, torn notes, leftover experimental data, and harmless monsters that talk to themselves.

Although he is the dungeon boss, these intelligence deployments are the result of the game's balancing of dungeon difficulty and are not under his control at all.

In the park, the real challenge is never the reasoning part, but rather the process of gathering information amidst numerous crises.

Various enclosed rooms from which there is no escape.

Various types of undead monsters that possess conceptual damage capabilities and are bound to the dungeon rules.

The combination of these two factors, along with the malicious teleportation of this dungeon boss... will set players on a nightmare.

Whether they can survive is a question, let alone gather intelligence and complete the deduction.

So... how could there be someone who could ignore the indestructibility of the dungeon environment and still kill undead monsters head-on, defying common sense?

This is completely unreasonable!

"How did he do that?!"

Duran, lying on the ground, looked even worse than Samael, and almost growled as he asked a question.

Sheng Zi, standing to the side, was in no better shape; her alluring face was contorted with a somewhat distorted expression.

Samael replied, "I'm not entirely sure either, I just know that he did it."

"Now is not the time to dwell on why he was able to do it. Our priority is to complete the subsequent arrangements."

“Your existence is a secret. The other side has discovered so much information, we can’t let it go… No, now it’s not a question of whether we let him go or not, but what he really wants to do.”

"This guy is clearly after you. He might be from a higher node?"

"..."

This sentence reminded Du Lan and Sheng Zi, and the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time, and the same thought popped into their heads in tacit agreement - could this guy be someone sent by Zhuang Yan?

Or perhaps... this guy is Zhuang Yan's A-rank counterpart?

"Zhuang Yan's psychic abilities have always been a mystery. According to some fragmented rumors circulating within the organization, he can not only use a variety of different psychic abilities, but his methods for breaking through the limits of psychic abilities are also very special, even exceeding the boundaries of A-rank..."

After calming down, Duran's mind became clear and active.

Zhuang Yan's spiritual energy level is A-rank, and a very powerful A-rank at that—this information is considered public knowledge within One Wing.

If the guy they fought before was really a solemn A-rank counterpart, then it's barely believable that he could destroy an indestructible instance scene.

Grade A psionic energy is inherently more inclined towards the rule-based system. Its limit-breaking ability allows it to touch upon the unknown realms and depths of the rule level, using rules to destroy rules... In addition, Zhuang Yan can use extremely special limit-breaking abilities...

"Only S-rank counterparts can use the ultimate state of A-rank psionic energy, but... if we abandon the completeness and only use a part of it, A-rank counterparts should be able to do it."

"There's a high probability that the other party is a Zhuangyan counterpart!"

After some thought, Duran made a decision in his mind.

If that's the case, he'd be even more determined to kill this guy!

Jing Shan has not yet completely erased the traces of human experimentation. If Zhuang Yan's counterpart discovers them, they will definitely be eliminated... No, the other party has already made it clear that they want to eliminate them!

Fortunately, while the solemn counterparts can share intelligence, there are clear distance restrictions. Their "defying the rules" shouldn't have reached the One-Wing headquarters and been known to the reformist members yet.

The G08 node and the initial partition are separated by countless times and spaces; how far apart are they?

Real-time intelligence sharing over such a long distance can only be achieved by combining the "Tide of Chaos" with the S-rank item "Key to the Gate"... Perhaps the S-rank item controlled by the game company that can curse knowledge can also achieve this?

Duran knew some secrets about the evolution game, such as... some confidential information about "God" and the game company, information about the relationship between the two, and related knowledge was cursed by this S-class item.

All who know will be marked.

Game companies can't do anything about super players like those who destroy entire nations, but they can easily control smaller, less powerful players.

Initially, many super players spread the relevant secrets, but those who knew them were eventually killed—unless their memories were erased.

The game company is the most powerful and violent organization in the evolution game, and no one can confront it head-on; there is no doubt about that.

Over time, spreading secrets became a taboo.

Even some hardcore gamers would use this secret as a means of killing someone else's enemy—for example, telling it to someone they dislike but can't kill themselves for various reasons... That seems a bit far-fetched.

Duran quickly reined in his wandering thoughts.

“It’s impossible for two entities of the same rank to share intelligence in real time over such a great distance. This conflict was initiated by us. His investigation of our base has only just begun, and he should not yet know that we are defying the rules.”

"After leaving the instance, I can even take the initiative and use the medal communication to falsely accuse him of sending a clone to cause trouble, so that the conservatives can take the opportunity to attack... Hmm, let's do it this way."

"As long as we can eliminate his counterpart here and prevent the truth from spreading back, that will be our victory!"

Thinking of this, Duran looked at Shengzi and gave her a meaningful look.

Sheng Zi immediately understood and released a hunting dog from her mind, which entered Duran's mind.

The secret mental communication channel has been completed.

Duran telepathically asked Shengzi, "Is that guy's spiritual aura related to Zhuangyan?"

“It has nothing to do with it,” Sheng Zi replied, “but given the current situation… logically speaking, there’s a very high chance that guy is an isotope!”

At this point, she sighed softly, a mixture of resentment in her voice, "It seems Dr. Zhuang's counterpart has a way of deceiving my psychic perception. I've been locking onto his spiritual aura, but even though he's infiltrated our research institute, I haven't detected a thing..."

It is an embarrassing thing to know and admit your own incompetence.

“Let’s treat that guy as his counterpart for now,” Duran said. “We must go out and set up an ambush immediately, and launch a thunderous attack on him the moment he clears the dungeon!”

"Can Dr. Zhuang's A-level isotope really be surrounded and killed?" Sheng Zi was a little doubtful.

“That guy’s psychic energy breakthrough is so powerful, he definitely can’t be taken down by sheer numbers in a short time,” Duran reminded. “But don’t forget, an A-level counterpart using A-level psychic energy breakthrough can only unleash a portion of its power, and the consumption is enormous! As long as we seal off the space and let a large number of B-level players deplete his spirit, then we can deliver the final blow when we’re ready to strike.”

“…That’s the only way.” Sheng Zi agreed.

They are now caught in a bind, bound by their positions and current circumstances, making a battle inevitable.

Dr. Zhuang... he really knows how to cause trouble!

They can still cause them so much trouble in this godforsaken, remote place!

The two immediately ended their private conversation.

Duran looked at Samael and asked, "How big is your instance? How long can it hold that guy off?"

“The edge space is twisted and connected, similar to a head and tail being connected, with no physically reachable end. Moreover... this connection is also changing in real time; flying in a straight line from one place may not necessarily return to the very beginning.”

Samael replied, "That man is trying to rush upwards, probably trying to find what is called the ground and the sky."

"There is no ground or sky here. No matter how he flies, he can't reach the so-called boundary. And because the connection is changing in real time, if he can't fly to the starting point, he might think that this place is even larger than a planetary world."

"If he just keeps flying like this... this instance will definitely trap him for seven days without a doubt."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Duran frowned. "You and I both know this is impossible."

The other side isn't an idiot. After realizing that they can't fly to the end, they'll fly for seven days and seven nights.

Isn't this funny?

Samael shook his head and said, "I was just giving an example of the structural problem. He kept destroying the walls, the floors, the ceilings, and wandering around the entire instance without any restraint."

"In this situation, it's almost certain that he found a clue to pass through."

"I can probably keep harassing him with monsters and trap him for about two hours, that's a conservative estimate."

"If we're not conservative... we can probably hold him for four hours."

"So short?" Duran frowned. "The flow of time in the instance is generally faster than outside. Two hours outside might correspond to only one hour."

"I will try my best to stall him for as long as possible."

Samael assured.

It was guaranteed, but not completely; the statement was vague.

Because... if things go wrong, he'll definitely run away on the spot; he's not going to risk his life for someone on one wing.

The cooperation involves two organizations; how much benefit would he possibly gain? Is it worth risking his life for?

If he weren't currently in a predicament where he couldn't back down and had no choice but to deal with the current predicament, he would have run away on the spot!

Since this instance belongs to him, he can't escape!

"Wait a minute! I think I can operate on two separate fronts?"

"As long as we secretly open a back door so that guy can pass through and leave early, this conflict will only be between him and the members of One Wing, without involving the entire Star Memory City..."

"That's right! Why should I go against that person? We have no conflict."

Samael's mind suddenly opened up, as if a blind person had suddenly discovered a key point.

Why did he drag the entire Xingyi City into this desperate struggle?

He could have easily remained neutral and watched the dogs fight.

"One Wing is a super-large organization. Losing a few A-level players is nothing. New members will likely be sent over later, and everything will continue to operate as usual. It seems that it will not affect the cooperation and interests between organizations."

"However... I can't be too obvious, otherwise it will be hard to explain if it gets discovered."

"That's it! All I need to do is secretly move the talking monster closer to that person. Talking monsters are part of the dungeon's intelligence gathering design. The other person just happened to run into one. What does that have to do with me? That's right, it's entirely their good luck!"

Samael came up with a plan.

Of course, on the surface he still maintained a serious expression, his disguise was flawless.

"It's not about just trying your best; you need to stall him for even longer!"

Perhaps looking down on A-rank players who were lagging behind, or perhaps simply being used to giving orders, Duran spoke to Samael in a commanding tone: "You must guarantee the time! Only with enough time can we gather a large number of B-rank players to prepare an ambush in advance."

"Besides... your Paradise is at least a B-rank dungeon. How could you be so passive when facing just one player? Letting the other party do whatever they want?"

"You must have some tricks up your sleeve that you haven't used yet, right?"

"No, really no."

Samael concealed his sinister gaze and shook his head slightly, saying, "The difficulty and danger of this instance, if I had to put it in perspective, are in a rather awkward situation."
