Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

This is the first time that San Chong Zhenren and Feng Gu have encountered "copying".

They dared not make a random choice and turned to look at Zuo Chang.

This is the greatest significance of "copying".

To prevent most unexpected events, either don't get involved at all, or once you do, fight to the bitter end until a victor emerges.

Zuo Chang spoke up: "Choose bystanders. That acting leader only wants us to be witnesses, not to get involved."

All four people present chose to remain bystanders.

The vortex gate emitted a bright light, and Zuo Chang's vision distorted for a moment. When his vision refocused, he found that his body had become transparent, and his feet were off the ground, like a ghost.

The same change occurred in the other three.

"Incredible..."

Feng Gu looked at his translucent palm and asked, "General, how... should I walk?"

Zuo Chang didn't know either.

Blood Rose said, "Director Feng, you don't need to walk. You just need to have the thought of 'moving forward,' and your body will float forward—like this."

She floated forward as she spoke.

Zuo Chang tried it briefly, and it was indeed the case!

He wandered around the gate twice, finding it quite novel, but he didn't show it on his face.

He spoke calmly, “Follow me. Let’s see just how capable the acting leader of the Chief Adventurer’s Guild really is, and whether he can truly bring ‘peace’ to Mailbox City as he claims!”

Chapter 180 Anonymous Mode

Four ghosts roamed the duplicated headquarters of the Eight Spiders.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Zuo Chang immediately saw several people confronting each other.

These people seem very nervous.

The reason I say "seems" is because Zuo Chang can't see their faces.

Everyone in the courtyard was covered in a strange black substance, looking as if they had just fallen into a mud pit and were covered in mud, making it impossible to recognize their original appearance.

The weapons they carried had also lost their shape; all they looked like were black sticks of varying lengths.

One person asked, "You say you're the vice-captain of the Dawn of the Swords? Do you have any proof?"

Another person, his tone tinged with irritation, retorted angrily, "What evidence do you want?"

"How many people are there in our Sword of Dawn?"

They are verifying each other's identities.

Master Sanchong frowned as he looked at the situation before him, then turned and asked, "General, what's going on?"

Zuo Chang wasn't entirely sure either: "It's probably random teleportation, plus an anonymous mode. The Gluttons seem to have used a little trick to make this 'copy' more complicated."

First, they used "mud" to cover everyone's face and body, concealing their features;

Then use "random teleportation" to make each adventurer who arrives at the instance randomly appear at a certain location in the instance.

This would prevent adventurers from gathering.

If the methods are even more ruthless, one could arrange for one's own people to impersonate the enemy, both to seize opportunities to gain victory and to sow distrust among the adventurer team, making it difficult to unite and causing it to fall apart.

Michiru Michiru is not very accepting of the current situation.

He hissed and asked, "Didn't you say that duplication wouldn't strengthen either side?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "I did say that."

"Then now——"

"The Gluttons are also affected by 'anonymous mode' and 'random teleportation'. The reason they are in the initiative now is not because of the instance mechanism, but because of their intelligence advantage."

Zuo Chang remained calm and composed.

Blood Rose said, "Triple Leader, now we know about this mechanism. Next time we enter, we can devise a specific strategy to counter it, thereby eliminating the Gluttons' advantage, and even using the mechanism to our advantage against our opponents."

Sanchong slowly nodded, realizing what was happening.

After considering the current situation, he said after a moment, "What ruthless methods! The Glutton is indeed formidable!"

Zuo Chang shared the same sentiment.

The Glutton's combat ability is still questionable, but she certainly used the "copycat" technique quite well.

Anonymous mode is all about torture; it requires adventurers to be extremely calm.

Calm communication, calm analysis.

When it is impossible to identify others with the naked eye, one can only distinguish each other's identities through communication, meticulousness, and patience.

but……

Those with a voracious appetite are adept at manipulating people's hearts.

Even a fool would know that the concentration of the factor here is lethal.

Those involved in the operation are all experts and can remain unaffected for a short period of time, but as time goes on, they will inevitably lose their composure and become anxious and angry.

Once emotions spiral out of control, working together will likely be nothing but empty talk. The end of this challenge is infighting, especially since this team is a makeshift one!

But these things have nothing to do with Zuo Chang now.

He was just a harmless ghost, incapable of doing anything.

……

……

The acting leader of the Chief Adventurer's Guild is the son of the former leader, Patrol Horse.

The child inherited his father's name and also referred to himself as "Patrol Horse" in public.

He was the leader of this operation, gathering the elites of the other two great adventure groups to form a 25-person assault team to attempt to attack the Lord of Mailbox City.

but now……

The patrol horse looked at its hands, which were covered in black mud, and felt a little annoyed.

He tried using skills—

"Deliberately unleashed a powerful punch"

The skill's effect remains unchanged, and its power is still there.

However, the fist wind that should have been blood-red turned into a pool of black slime due to the dungeon's mechanics, showing no resemblance to a powerful punch.

"It's troublesome."

The patrolman sighed heavily, realizing the predicament of the situation.

The best course of action now is to quickly gather personnel and regroup, otherwise there is a risk of being picked off one by one.

"brother!"

Just then, a group of people walked by.

The leader, with a commanding presence, spoke first: "I am Xun Chengma, the acting leader of the Chief Adventurer's Guild. Which guild are you from?"

"……What did you say?"

what!

The patrol horse chuckled and looked at the man: "You're the patrol horse? Then who am I?"

The patrol horse scoffed, "How would I know who you are?"

"I am the patrol horse!"

"..."

The two patrol horses stared at each other, the atmosphere tense and ready to fight!

The six adventurers who had come with the imposter looked at each other, bewildered. They instinctively put some distance between themselves and stared at the real and fake patrol horses.

"Patrol Horse" scoffed, "Where did this bastard come from? Daring to impersonate me!"

The patrol horse felt both annoyed and amused: "I should be the one saying that!"

It was so awkward.

The patrol horses didn't know how to prove their identities, and the adventurers didn't know how to distinguish between the real and the fake.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

Just then, footsteps sounded again.

The third man, with a hawk-like gaze and wolf-like eyes, strode over. Seeing the scene, he said, "You're all here? Then rejoin the team!"

The patrol horse frowned and looked over, asking, "And who are you?"

The third person clasped his hands in greeting: "I am the acting leader of the Chief Adventurer's Guild, Patrol Horse!"

The third is the patrol horse.

The other six people present felt no surprise or doubt upon seeing this scene.

They only felt—

Terror and despair.

They were already aware of the severity of the situation, but when the absurd situation actually unfolded before their eyes, they realized that they had underestimated the dangers of this place!

Which of the three patrol horses is the real one?

No.

It wasn't just the patrol horses; there were nine people present. Besides being able to ascertain their own identities, who else could they ascertain?

The Eight Spiders Adventure Team has fifty official members.

They are clearly part of the gluttonous group.

That is to say...
