"Then... do you know where he is?" Lu Baizhi asked.
"As for his location... I can't detect it for now. He must have used extremely special methods to conceal his existence. I only know that he's here, but I don't know his exact location yet." Fan Xiao shook his head: "Unless he makes some big move, if he keeps hiding, I can't find him at this stage."
Yes, it can't be found at this stage.
It's hard to say what will happen after some time has passed.
After all, he gets stronger every day.
“There’s no need to worry too much about Dr. Zhuang,” Fan Xiao said. “His hiding and not showing himself is actually a good thing for me. With Tina watching over him, his S-class counterparts can’t get here. Even if a few A-class counterparts come, they won’t pose any threat to me right now.”
Even if it were an S-class counterpart that came, it wouldn't pose any threat to him now.
Back then, Dr. Zhuang's S-rank physical abilities were arrogant and domineering because his level far surpassed Dr. Zhuang's at the time.
It was an absolute crushing victory!
Bullying children!
At that time, he was only a C-level player, with a mental strength of only B-level. He hadn't even fully acquired the Seven Deadly Sins abilities of the Little Angel, and there was even a time limit to summoning the Little Angel—a few minutes in the real world followed by a cooldown of several hours.
In this state, he went to fight an S-level player and actually won... It has to be said that "quantum immortality" really did him a huge disadvantage.
At that time, he didn't even know the concept of breaking the limit, and could only rely on luck to get people to come and fight in a group.
But players will always grow and improve.
In today's terms, he would immediately unleash a Multi-Dimensional Killing Intent - Judgment of Inevitable Annihilation!
Whether Dr. Zhuang's S-class isotope can withstand this powerful identification technique... well, it's hard to say, really hard to say!
Fan Xiao continued, "What we need to do right now is to continue to lie low and use time to build up our strength."
"Once I've reached the limit I can reach in a short time, if Dr. Zhuang is still hiding, we'll find him and deal with him as we go."
"...Fan Xiao, isn't this...a bit too much underestimation of the enemy?" Lu Baizhi asked.
What she really meant was—Fan Xiao, have you gotten too big for your britches?
To be considerate of her boyfriend's feelings, she softened her words.
Fan Xiao smiled and said, "Tactically take it seriously, but strategically look down on it. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He ended the conversation and said to the three of them, "Let's go, we should go back. There haven't been any problems in Sector 004 for so long, it's probably because the Twilight Council has shifted its attention to other sectors... like Sector 007."
"007... You suspect that the unrest there was orchestrated by the Twilight Council?" Lu Xining asked.
*Snap*—Fan Xiao tossed a coin into the air.
At the same time, he instantly cleared his mind and transformed it into good fortune, making a wish to obtain the answer.
The coin landed heads up.
Fan Xiao said with considerable surprise, "It really was the Twilight Council that was behind this."
Unexpectedly, what I said casually actually came true.
"Is this confirmation really accurate?" Yin asked doubtfully.
Just by flipping a coin and seeing heads or tails, you can know what's going on in other world divisions... Isn't that ability a bit too overpowered?
She knew that S-class psionic power was extraordinary.
But knowing and understanding are two different things.
"Don't worry, there's basically no chance of anything going wrong. After all, it's not some big secret," Fan Xiao said with a smile.
Although his "personal fortune," which he transformed through his spirit, is far less effective than "world fortune" when interfering with external cause and effect, his current mental strength is not low, reaching the limit of A-level. With such strength, the chance of him making a mistake by clearing out all the luck he transformed through his spirit and using it to obtain information about such a small matter is pitifully small.
Unless someone used a super A-grade item specifically designed to block information, or used A-grade psionic energy with information attributes to block and mislead the public.
"Besides, we can check it out when we pass by later," Fan Xiao added.
"Passing by?"
Lu Baizhi tilted her head slightly.
After realizing what had happened, she said, "By the way, the Fairy Tale Kingdom opened before Xiao Yin and I were caught up in the dungeon. Has it ended yet?"
"Not yet," Lu Xining answered for Fan Xiao.
"Then...should we use train tickets to go back? Or continue to wait?" Lu Baizhi said, "If we use train tickets, we have to get off once when we pass through the 007 district, and then we'll have to use another ticket to go back...two wastes will definitely shorten the dungeon time limit and delay the hibernation plan."
She suggested, "Why don't we wait..."
"No need, I'll take you back."
Fan Xiao interrupted Lu Baizhi and said with a smile, "Here I must mention another gain from my trip."
A seven-star pattern appeared in his eyes.
As his mental energy was partially depleted, a spatial portal opened—yes, having just emptied his mental energy, he was now back to full mental reserve, just like a joke.
Lu Baizhi and Yin didn't notice this; their attention was completely drawn to the suddenly appearing spatial portal.
Across from the gate, you can see the city skyline, which is quite different from that of Zone 004.
Fan Xiao reminded them, "District 005 is right across the street."
"..."
Lu Baizhi and Yin both fell silent.
Well, they've already accepted the "independent growth tree system" of S-class psionic energy, and opening spatial portals between zones... doesn't seem like such a big deal.
"let's go."
Fan Xiao took the first step and entered the spatial portal.
……
When passing through Division 007, Fan Xiao and his group of four stopped and began their intelligence investigation.
The investigation process... was not complicated.
To put it simply, he wore Xiao Zhen's clothes, and with three close female friends, he took a trip to the chaotic area of the 007 district as if he were a tourist, and then... he investigated everything.
No matter what, Xiao Zhen is a super A-grade prop. Don't let its usual timid appearance fool you; it still has that much ability and class.
The entire investigation process was incredibly smooth, allowing Lu Xining and the other two to experience the terror of an S-class player... Fan Xiao can now be regarded as a seasoned S-class player.
No, in terms of versatility, it even surpasses S-class players.
The truth behind the chaos in Division 007 is the same as what Van Shaw confirmed with luck before—it was indeed the Twilight Council's doing behind the scenes.
The council's goal is simple: to replicate the operations it performed in the 004 district a long time ago, and to turn the 007 district into their second backyard, and into the second Star Memory City of the G08 node.
Meanwhile, the council also elected a new member for Division 007 to replace the deceased Samael—this new member is a newly promoted A-level player who is no longer in Division 007.
Besides indulging in pleasure, squandering money, and secretly controlling the top leaders of the G08 node, the council had another hidden purpose in taking action against the 007 sector—to use this opportunity to curry favor with the One Wing Organization.
The Star City model makes it very convenient for One-Wing people to come to the G08 node to build a psionic experimental area.
Although the cooperation between the two organizations was interrupted once, and all the One-Wing members who came were killed, the main blame was placed on Dr. Zhuang's main body thanks to Fan Xiao's lucky intervention.
Therefore, the Twilight Council, a small organization lagging behind, was not angered by the Wing and did not face any annihilation.
Therefore... the cooperation can still continue.
It must be said that the Twilight Council was able to survive thanks to Van Chau.
Otherwise, in the face of a behemoth like the One-Winged Spinner, it wouldn't even make a ripple; a single act of misplaced anger would be enough to kill it.
After investigating the matter, Fan Xiao and his three companions took the opportunity to kill the council mole who was stirring up trouble in Division 007.
Unfortunately, the thirteen core members of the council, who were also the thirteen A-level players, did not personally participate in the disruption of the 007 division.
"Is the council really afraid?" Lu Xining said thoughtfully, "For such an important matter, they didn't send a single core member, but relied on some B and C level players to lead a plan to disrupt the situation... That's a bit strange."
“They must be scared,” Yin analyzed. “We not only killed Samael, but also the group of players sent by One Wing. Several A-level players died. It would be abnormal if they weren’t afraid of the mysterious organization Whale Fall.”
Should we... just leave it alone for now?
Lu Baizhi asked Fan Xiaodao.
She remembered Fan Xiao saying that the next step was to lie low and use time to build up strength.
Chapter 744 Let's sweat it out! Dr. Zhuang
Hearing Lu Baizhi's question, Fan Xiao shook his head: "There's really no need to deal with this matter in a big way. At this stage, it's best for Whale Fall not to get involved. However... although I said I want to lie low and use time to gain strength, I haven't reached the point where I can just ignore this kind of thing."
"You want to lie low, but you also want to thwart the Twilight Council's plans... Do you have a compromise?"
Lu Xining looked at Fan Xiao and asked curiously.
With too little time, she could only come up with one compromise—bringing in a third party to handle the troublesome matter.
After all, Whalefall is essentially an assassin organization. They can do things like upholding justice at the nodes, but they can't be the first to rush in. They can only step in to turn the tide when others can't handle the situation.
Otherwise, if they have to handle everything, the G08 node will eventually become obsolete.
Well... under normal circumstances, this approach is the most reasonable.
Unfortunately, there's something wrong with node G08.
The Twilight Council is suspected to be the "underground emperor" of G08, and no one can control them.
Lu Xining was curious about how Fan Xiao would handle this matter.
Yin and Lu Baizhi also looked over.
Meeting the gazes of the three, Fan Xiao didn't hide anything this time and spoke frankly: "What need is there for a compromise? Don't complicate simple matters."
"If dealing with problems is too troublesome, then get rid of the people who created them."
"The problem now is caused by the Twilight Council. Why not just kill them all?"
"..."
Is not this nonsensical?
The question is, how do we kill them?
Fan Xiao continued, "Leave this to me. The members of the Twilight Council are all A-level players; killing them will be easy."
"So... Fan Xiao, how do you plan to find them?" Lu Baizhi asked.
Fan Xiao: "Use luck."
"Then... shall we split up and go kill them?" Silver asked.
“No, we’ll kill him remotely right here.” Fan Xiao: “This process is also left to luck.”
"..." Lu Xining asked, "Xiao, are you serious?"
Is it that outrageous?
Standing still, across countless worlds, directly killing 13 formidable A-level players... Is such a thing really possible?
Uh...it seems like Miss Destroying the Country could do that.
Not to mention killing across zones, even across numerous nodes, she can accurately lock onto a target and bring about their fateful calamity—this was demonstrated in Fan Xiao, and Yin witnessed the entire process firsthand.
Immediately, a surge of amazement welled up within the three of them—before, without a point of comparison to anchor their strength, they knew that Fan Xiao's strength had greatly improved, but lacked a real sense of it. Now, with the Miss Destroyer of Kingdoms as a reference point, they immediately felt the reality.
As expected of an S-rank psionic power, this is ridiculous!
"To be honest, I haven't given you a detailed introduction yet about what I can actually do right now."
Fan Xiao smiled and said, "This is a rare opportunity, so I'll give you a practical demonstration."
Having said that, he used his spiritual power to intervene in the cause and effect of the world, guiding out tiny wishes.
Whoosh... A gust of wind blew up, swirling up the withered yellow leaves that had fallen in the city's streets and alleys. As the wind intensified, these withered yellow leaves shattered into fine fragments, which were blown to Fan Xiao's front and piled up into a small mountain.
Then he continued to transform his luck and began to make a wish—to obtain the identity of one of the thirteen core members of the Twilight Council.
Failed to retrieve...
"..."
Fan Xiao was slightly surprised.
How can it get a failure result?
He had previously ignored the Twilight Council because he was busy testing artifacts and collecting souls. It was only now, in Division 007, that he remembered the matter by chance and prepared to take action.
