Chapter 441 Twenty's Hiding Place
Chapter 441 Twenty's Hiding Place
"Oh my, the news about the Rakshasa has spread everywhere..."
"I'm afraid even the important figures in this world, outside of the Glory Festival, have already started discussing this matter."
"That's incredible, Moruo."
Fern easily killed the tall wild wolf in front of him with his long sword, removed one of its eyes and put it into its skin, muttering to himself.
"Very good, very good. Together with the two Moruo gave me before, I have enough to pass the level... From now on, I just need to keep a low profile... Do you want to change your identity? It seems unnecessary to say!"
"But after hanging out with Marana Rakshasa for a while, I wonder if I've caught their attention... Tsk, while the attention of NPCs isn't necessarily a bad thing compared to players, is it good or bad for the world to be noticed in this way at this point in time?"
She muttered to herself, then hit her head with the hilt of her sword.
"Alright, alright, alright, enough of that, Ah Fern. This dungeon isn't that simple... Although I thought I could just toy with those simple-minded guys when I got to the Black Swamp, it seems there are some serious players among the players this time."
"The Psychology Society's [Arrogant Mouthpiece] has even appeared... Tsk, and that Psychology Society guy is actually being manipulated. This is incredible."
"And that guy in combat uniform...why did he go to the furnace and deliberately mention Rakshasa? Although Moruo didn't explain it to me, could he have reached some kind of agreement with Moruo? If that's the case, he's truly audacious—his deception just isn't sophisticated enough."
"You have to be very careful with these two people. Ah Fen, you've already been keeping a low profile for fifty-five dungeons. You absolutely must not attract attention among the other players!"
Her chattering became faster and faster, and then...
"Crack!"
There were faint sounds of footsteps behind her, and someone stepped on the small branch behind her and broke it.
When Fern heard the sound, he was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long sigh.
"I knew... by the time I felt something was wrong, it was already too late."
She turned around and saw a player.
An ordinary man in sportswear.
At first glance, there didn't seem to be anything unusual about the other person, except that his eyes seemed a little distracted compared to a normal person's upon closer inspection.
It's like being in a "sleepwalking" state.
"Hey, hello, would you like to team up with me?"
Fern looked at the other person, put one hand on his waist, and held the sword in front of him with the other hand.
"I say, you're the guy who caused chaos in the healing area, right? Don't think I don't recognize you."
The player smiled and spoke.
"Yes, I have no intention of hiding or deceiving anyone."
"In that case, if we're going to team up, the real body should come first," Fern said cautiously, declining the other party. "What if you're planning to take over my body?"
"You can rest assured about this, young lady," the other party said politely. "To show my sincerity, I can directly tell you the principles and methods of my manipulation of others... The answer is to enter their dreams."
"I can invade other people's dreams and gamble and play games with them within them. Only if they lose to me in the game... will they temporarily lose control of their body and soul for a period of time."
"And the right to play this game or not, the decision-making power even lies in the hands of the other party."
Fern spat at the other's calm words.
"This makes you even more terrifying, okay? It means you can use some kind of deception to get these guys to willingly give their bodies to you, and then die without knowing why!"
"You're so strong now, yet you still come to me for cooperation...why?"
Fern couldn't help but ask more vigilantly.
The other person laughed.
"Of course it's out of respect for your strength."
"Rather than collaboration, it's more like I have a few questions for you."
Fern raised an eyebrow. "About that Rakshasa? I can only tell you that I only used him temporarily, or maybe we used each other... I don't know much about him."
"No, it has nothing to do with that Rakshasa."
The manipulated player spoke again, "What I want to ask is, how much do you know about the player who approached Luhuo at the healing area and then mysteriously disappeared?"
"I think... he should also be in a cooperative relationship with Luosha!"
Fern was very surprised, then nodded: "Sure enough, you think so too."
"Great minds think alike."
The player was a little disappointed: "It seems that you are not familiar with him either."
"Of course, that guy seems to have a split personality," Fern said, waving his hands and complaining, "I always feel that his deception skills are sometimes good and sometimes bad..."
"So, although you're not familiar with him, do you have other 'players' you work with? Teammates, accomplices... something like that?"
Fern looked at the other person and flexed his wrist.
"Not really...why are you asking?"
As Fern spoke, the player spoke up, "I know there's a player I know in this dungeon. Or rather, I'm here chasing him."
"But so far, I haven't found any trace of him."
Fern raised an eyebrow: "So, you're looking for him?"
"Yes...and you weren't very honest with me just now."
The player said, calmly, "You lied to me... You have an 'accomplice' in this [Instance]."
Fern's face changed slightly, and then he slowly raised the long sword in front of him.
"Ha...you're coming for me, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Although I don't know when you set your sights on me, but... now it seems that I have no choice but to leave you here."
As she spoke, she rushed towards the player with her sword drawn.
"Hey!"
The long sword slashed the opponent's throat, and then the player collapsed to the ground with almost no resistance.
Blood flowed out and Fern frowned.
"As expected, puppets just don't feel bad... There's no point in killing more."
"We still have to find that guy's real body!"
She murmured, then took out the crow's head again, bit her finger and smeared the blood on it.
"I choose to consume one 'Transformation' in exchange for one 'Reality': Respected and great God of Transformation, tell me... where is that guy hiding in the shadows in this [Instance], constantly using hypnosis to enter others' dreams?"
Not far behind Fern, Lin Yu was squatting on a tree, wearing camouflage. He looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, that crow has more than just two items..."
"And—this tool can be used for more than just asking questions."
But anyway...
Now, Ershi's hiding place was found without any effort.
After all, Lin Yu is particularly good at being both a fisherman and a oriole.
