Bang!
Old Fang's blood exploded, and he died on the spot.
Fan Xiao dispelled the repulsive force of the "Dustless Shield," causing the mangled corpse to fall to the ground. He then retrieved the "Duke Bunny," who was still performing the bunny dance.
Seeing this, Lu Baizhi's expression remained largely unchanged.
She is no longer the weak little girl she once was.
Moreover, the other side killed eight people as soon as they arrived, specifically targeting young women, which is extremely hateful.
She has no sympathy for this kind of person.
"Let's go, let's rescue them first. We'll leave this to the police; they'll handle it."
Fan Xiao led Lu Baizhi toward the intersection to the left.
……
When Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi arrived at their destination, they heard the sobbing of four women coming from inside.
After forcibly opening the door, the smell of blood filled the air.
Upon seeing the half-corpse on the ground, Lu Baizhi remained silent for a few seconds.
Fan Xiao patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, then went over and untied the four people who had been brought there.
Two of them, upon seeing that they had been rescued, couldn't control their emotions and burst into tears on the spot.
I guess they were terrified.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi waited in the small house until the police arrived.
Fortunately, the team leader was Captain Wang, an old acquaintance of Fan Xiao.
Because of their familiarity and trust, Captain Wang did not take Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi back to give statements. After listening to Fan Xiao's account of the incident, he let the two of them leave.
9:00 in the evening.
Fan Xiao and Lu Baizhi finally had their first meal of the day.
It's not easy.
During the meal, Fan Xiao took a moment to look at the props he had just acquired.
[E-Rank Item - Swift Legs]
In ancient times, when military documents were delivered, a feather was usually attached to the corner of the envelope, called a "feathered proclamation." Sometimes, where horses couldn't reach, skilled runners would be sent to deliver the message. These runners were called "swift runners," "quick-footed runners," or "flying-legged runners." Later, the rumors became increasingly outlandish, and people began to believe that people with more leg hair could run faster than average. Based on this principle, some people collected large amounts of leg hair to create "hairy leg stockings," claiming that as long as they wore them, even disabled people could run like the wind.
[Note: Wearing "hairy leg socks" can increase your running speed by 90%]
"..."
I was eating, and this disgusting thing happened... Could this be bad luck?
Without much hesitation, Fan Xiao threw the useless item to the game for recycling.
He then looked at the second prop.
[E-Rank Item - Nobody Wants It]
[Legend has it that in Happy Town, there exists a beggar disliked by all the residents. People ignore him, subconsciously avoid him, and completely isolate him from their social circles. Thus, the beggar seems to have become invisible.]
[Note 1: This can make people with an evolution rate of less than 1% subconsciously want to stay away from you and ignore you]
[Note 2: Effective range is within a radius of 50 meters]
"A tool for interfering with other people's minds..."
Fan Xiao's interest grew.
In his view, mental interference items are more powerful than other items.
If it weren't for the low level, this item would be very useful.
Fan Xiao kept it and put it into the player's storage space.
There might be a time when it comes in handy.
"Gardenia jasminoides".
After finishing his meal, Fan Xiao said to the girl sitting across from him, "Let's end our employment relationship for now. I'll contact you again next time I need you, and we can start over."
"Huh?" Lu Baizhi was stunned: "So fast?"
“It’s been 13 days,” Fan Xiao shook his head. “Your sister has gone to the dungeon three times, but you haven’t gone even once. This can’t go on.”
"Um... an E-rank player only needs to go to the dungeon once a month, so I'm not in a hurry."
Lu Baizhi tried her best to explain.
“That’s just the minimum standard. If we follow the minimum standard, we’ll fall far behind everyone else. And…”
After a pause, Fan Xiao reminded him, "If you continue to follow me, you will also encounter danger, so let's split up for now."
Fan Xiao has basically confirmed that Lu Baizhi's luck can only provide him with a 12-day protection period.
Starting from the 13th day, his bad luck will in turn affect Lu Baizhi.
Just like what happened not long ago.
Although his bad luck is to some extent controlled by his subconscious, even if it affects others, it will only affect a type of person he dislikes, such as criminals.
However, Lu Baizhi was right beside him, so when the "man-made disaster" happened, she was naturally dragged into it as well.
Surely he can't just ignore Lu Baizhi, a living person, when the enemy is standing right in front of him, right?
Separation is necessary.
Fan Xiao speculated that the bad luck he encountered increased as his strength improved.
Back when he was just an ordinary person, if he had encountered a D-level player head-on, he probably wouldn't have survived.
So even though he had accumulated luck for two months, the biggest crisis he encountered before was nothing more than cannibalistic evolvers, not even players.
But it's only been 13 days and I've already encountered a D-level player.
This only shows that, with his current strength, encountering trivial matters, such as murder cases, is no longer considered unlucky for him.
It's about as gentle as a breeze, something you can easily handle with a wave of your hand.
Therefore, it will only get more and more dangerous from now on.
Until he couldn't take it anymore and voluntarily shut down his superpowers.
Lu Baizhi is no longer suitable to follow him.
Chapter 99 Private Talk
On the 13th night of accumulating luck, in order to spend a safe night with Lu Baizhi, Fan Xiao temporarily shut down his superpowers, allowing his luck to return to normal.
Although he had already made the decision to separate from Lu Baizhi, he wasn't so cruel as to kick the girl out of the house in the middle of the night and make her stay in a hotel.
Since we're going to be staying together for one night, safety needs to be guaranteed.
If he were to activate his superpowers, Fan Xiao didn't know if he would encounter any trouble that night.
Just to be on the safe side, I'd better behave myself tonight.
On the other hand, after returning to Fan Xiao's home, Lu Baizhi's expression was still somewhat gloomy.
I felt a little down.
However, she concealed herself and tried her best not to let Fan Xiao see anything.
Although in Fan Xiao's eyes, she was doing useless work.
To avoid making the atmosphere awkward because of her, Lu Baizhi started a conversation: "By the way, Fan Xiao, your real purpose in asking me for help wasn't actually to test some 'unlucky prop,' was it?"
"There is indeed another purpose."
Fan Xiao nodded.
He wasn't surprised that his guess was correct.
To reduce the number of lies, he never deliberately concealed anything.
People like Lu Xining had been suspicious of him for a long time.
"Um...can you tell me?"
Lu Baizhi raised her head and asked curiously.
Fan Xiao wanted to make up some random "luck-gathering item" to get by, but he swallowed the lie back and said instead, "It's not the right time yet. I'll tell you when the time is right."
"Ha...that's not what you said to me back then."
Suddenly, a third person's voice rang out in the living room.
Fan Xiao keenly sensed that the air trembled slightly.
He and Lu Baizhi turned their heads at the same time, looking to the side, where they saw a stunningly beautiful girl with long legs, a tall figure, and a cold, aloof expression.
It was Lu Xining, whom I hadn't seen for several days.
Lu Xining stared at Fan Xiao and continued, "When I asked you that question back then, you never gave me a straight answer, always saying no, no... Were you being discriminatory?"
"Can I interpret your words as...?"
Fan Xiao met the girl's questioning gaze with a smile and said, "You want me to treat you as a 'special person'?"
"..." Lu Xining: "A person who is always arguing with girls will not be liked by them."
"Can I interpret your words as...?"
Fan Xiaomei asked again, "You want me to be nicer to you so that you'll like me?"
"..."
Lu Xining shut up.
She couldn't argue with Fan Xiao, and continuing would only bring her further humiliation.
"Sister, you are back!"
Lu Baizhi moved closer to Lu Xining and placed her hand on her body.
The healing talent was activated immediately.
Lu Xining felt warm all over and grabbed her sister's hand to stop her, saying, "I'm not injured, don't waste your talent."
"It's okay, we're not in a dungeon now."
Lu Baizhi said, "Treatment can also eliminate fatigue."
"Have you forgotten the purpose of my props?" Lu Xining shook her head: "Concern leads to confusion; you need to change this habit."
"You should just accept Bai Zhi's treatment and not waste your sister's good intentions."
Fan Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and offered a timely reminder.
Seeing that Lu Xining had stopped making a fuss, he asked, "How was the dungeon run?"
"Grade B rating".
"Has the player level increased?"
"Not yet, but I estimate that after one more dungeon run, I should be able to level up."
After answering Fan Xiao's question, Lu Xining said, "By the way, I can't lend Bai Zhi to you for now. I need to take her home first. When we left, we told our parents we'd be back in a month, and now it's about time... Hmm? What are you doing?"
Lu Xining noticed that her younger sister pinched her arm.
This made her look puzzled.
"Sister, don't talk to me like I'm a piece of merchandise," Lu Baizhi complained.
"Her wording is always good, so just give up on correcting her."
Fan Xiao then delivered the final blow.
Meeting Lu Xining's glare, he shrugged and said, "This time it's just a coincidence. My employment relationship with Bai Zhi just ended, so I don't need her to continue helping me for the time being. As for helping next time... that's still a long way off. You don't need to worry about my schedule. You can go back whenever you want."
"Have you achieved your goal?"
Lu Xining felt a strong interest.
