I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 635, page 2.3, 19: Guess Who I Am (Special)

"Library, library, library... Ah, shouldn't we turn left here? This big city doesn't even have a landmark, how shabby!" Mingxi observed the intersection, scratched her hair, sighed softly, and said in distress.

Mingxi turned the corner and walked across the intersection, his lake-blue eyes narrowing slightly. He suddenly turned around and at the same time drew a pistol from his pocket, aiming it at the guy who had been following him.

"I...I...I! Waaah!" The girl in the maid outfit was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, seemingly frightened.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Mingxi stared coldly at the crying girl with her lake-blue eyes, her gun still firmly pointed at her, showing no sign of letting her guard down.

"My name is Lan, the Lan of orchid. I was just curious where you were going and wanted to sneak a peek..." Lan took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and timidly peeked at Mingxi, feeling wronged.

Mingxi's lips twitched slightly, and she said incredulously, "Didn't I have Fei lure you away?"

"Because... I noticed you were attracting attention by walking in another direction alone, so I left a clone behind and secretly followed you," Lancer whispered, shrinking back slightly.

Mingxi: "..." Is he really going to do things against all the rules?
"So what? What do you plan to do after you catch up? Kill me?" Mingxi lifted her eyelids, looking at Lan thoughtfully, her meaning ambiguous.

"Kill? Kill! No, I won't! That's too scary! Even if you're eliminating a player, you don't necessarily have to kill them. I was just curious and wanted to peek, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done!" Lan said anxiously, her eyes red.

"Not kill anyone? Then how do you eliminate players?" Mingxi narrowed her eyes and asked again.

Lan took out a stack of stickers with red crosses on them and said, "This...this! Just stick it on the players when they're not looking, and they're eliminated. The eliminated players are automatically kicked out of the instance. If any of us don't want to kill players, we'll use this item."

The red cross is smaller than a fingernail; if someone gets stuck on it, it's almost impossible to detect. After all, getting stuck on it means elimination, which is much easier than killing a player, because unless it's an instant kill, there's always a chance for the player to escape.

Mingxi looked at the stickers in her hand with great interest, then suddenly looked behind her and asked in surprise, "Huh? What are you doing here?"

Lan was slightly taken aback and quickly turned her head, only to find that there was no one behind her. She realized that she had been tricked, but when she turned back, she found that Mingxi was gone, along with the sticker in her hand.

She remained silent and stiff for a few seconds before bursting into tears.

the other side.

After getting rid of Lan, Mingxi checked the props in her hand as she walked forward.

"So she was hiding some information. Luckily, I'm smart and clever Mingxi, and I wasn't fooled by that woman." After reading the description of the prop, Mingxi snorted coldly. Sure enough, women's words are deceitful; you can't trust them.

【99】Lockdown and Expulsion

Grade: D (Special)

Description: Once you're locked on, there's no escaping.

How to use: Placing a 'red dot' on someone will lock them in, and they will then be visible on your personal map no matter where they go. Placing a 'red cross' on someone will immediately remove them from the current map.

Cooldown time: One-time

Review: I can't quite pinpoint what's wrong with it, but we're in the age of AI now, can't we please stop using such outdated methods? The system needs an update!
The so-called red dot is the center of the red cross. However, each sticker can only be used once, and you have to choose between the red dot and the red cross. No wonder Lan prepared a stack of stickers.

However, Mingxi only asked about the elimination method, not the items. Lan only answered Mingxi's question. Normally, people wouldn't deliberately mention information that wasn't mentioned. Who knew Mingxi would try to steal something?

Mingxi's sudden action completely stunned Lan.

"Found it." Mingxi stopped and looked up at the huge, magnificent, pure white library in front of her, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"The door is closed? No, it's ajar, just like Jin said, it's open."

Pushing open the door, one is greeted by a vast reading area, followed by bookshelves reaching dozens of meters high. In the center of the reading area, a figure lies sprawled, seemingly asleep.

Mingxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to bypass him and head straight for the book section.

A slightly deep voice came from the silence.

"Wait a moment."

Mingxi turned around and saw that the guy who had been sleeping on the table had sat up.

She was somewhat different from what I had imagined; she seemed even younger than me, perhaps only fifteen or sixteen years old, and extremely petite.

His dark, tousled hair fell casually down his back, and he had a pair of slightly long horns on his head. His features were delicate but also quite youthful. If you ignored his eyes, you might think he was some elementary school student.

Those crimson vertical pupils were extremely beautiful, yet they were filled with indifference and arrogance. Just being stared at by them would create a strange sense of tension, and they were full of intimidation.

A mixture of naivety and world-weariness, like a paradoxical combination.

His outfit consisted of a white striped shirt and overalls, which seemed to match his appearance. The black jacket draped over his shoulders dispelled his liveliness and instead gave him a particularly handsome and mature look.

He stood up and walked step by step toward Mingxi.

The coat draped over his shoulders swayed slightly, and even just by walking, Mingxi sensed a danger that grew stronger as he approached.

Who is he?
Why does it feel so terrifying?!
I want to escape...

They couldn't muster any thought of resistance.

Mingxi wanted to run away immediately, but he couldn't move his feet for a long time. He was frozen in place, completely unable to move because of fear.

The boy's height only reached Mingxi's chin. He wasn't very tall, and could even be described as short, yet he was surprisingly terrifying, even intimidating. Even when she first met Lazy, she never felt this kind of fear simply from being stared at.

"Why do you smell like a little savage?" He looked at Mingxi with curiosity in his rose-red eyes and asked in surprise.

Little ruthless?
Who is that?
Why does he smell like that? Is it someone he knows? Or someone he's been in contact with?

"It seems I've slept for too long. A considerable amount of time must have passed outside," he murmured, his tone surprisingly mature, or rather, he sounded like an old man.

He snapped his fingers casually.

Mingxi suddenly felt as if she could move again.

"Human, what brings you here?" He asked slowly, his crimson eyes fixed on Mingxi.

"My name is Mingxi. I'd like to look up some information about this world." After thinking for a moment, he finally revealed his purpose. He didn't think there would be any benefit in deceiving the other party.

“My name is Lilia, and I am the maintainer of the rules of this world.” He paused, then added, “The evaluation of items is also something I do in my spare time.”

Mingxi: "!!!" So it was you who wrote the review! Seriously, your way of speaking is completely different from how you express yourself in the review section!

From the 'evaluation', we can see that Lilia is actually quite lively at heart, even though she is essentially an old woman.
