Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: I Have Valuable Information

The prop’s time was up, and the chains disappeared as Xu Huo returned to the ground, smiling, "You’re really unlucky to have drawn me. Hand over the note."

With his life in his hands, the male player had no choice but to soften his stance, dragging his feet as he took something out of the luggage compartment.

Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "If you really can’t produce it, I can help you."

While speaking, the "Eye of the Deceased," only half-open, was already in his hand.

The male player twitched at the sight and had to throw the note at him.

A very ordinary piece of paper, torn from a larger sheet, had no text but a drawn pattern of a person with severed arms and legs arranged inside a circle, beside which was marked a "13".

was the order in which Xu Huo had entered the villa.

"You’re sure you want to kill based on just this pattern?" he said, "The instance’s requirement for passing is just finding a small piece of paper, right?"

"The people before me did it, why can’t I?" the male player stated plainly that he was just following precedent, "And I have no other way to pass the instance. Of course, I’ll do what others do. If we pass, we pass together; if we fail, I won’t be the only one."

Xu Huo let out a laugh, pointing at his temple with his finger, "Can’t you use your brain?"

The male player felt insulted and his face showed embarrassment. He quickly retorted, "Do you have any other clues?"

Xu Huo wasn’t sure if he had any, as his purpose for coming to the villa was already accomplished, and so far, he was still unclear about the background details of this instance.

The instance’s task was simple, and there were no clear instructions about the "small piece of paper." The real hidden conditions must be in the background details, but for the moment, no one had brought them up.

The male player stared at him for a while, then said, "You don’t know either, do you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be wasting time here asking me."

It was as if he had found an opportunity, "We don’t have to fight to the death; wouldn’t it be better to cooperate and pass the instance?"

"Let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be so easy for you to kill me, and I suspect your prop won’t last much longer. Soon, other players will notice what’s happening here."

Xu Huo looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Do you think that by saying a few words like that, you can walk out of this room unscathed?"

The male player’s expression changed, and he grabbed a prop in his hand, "There’s no way I’m going to sit here and wait for death!"

From how easily the opponent had trapped someone earlier, it was clear that the other’s mental strength was average. Now deeply immersed in the Spiritual World, escaping was even less likely. Xu Huo did not waste time; he quickly disarmed the man’s arms and then put the "Constriction Collar" around his neck.

He didn’t kill him outright. Xu Huo just crossed his hands and said, "When I clasp my hands again, this collar will tighten until you suffocate to death. You’re the first to experience the whole process. I’ll record your death in detail later, no rush."

The male player, hands on the collar, seemed to be having more and more trouble breathing, and he quickly said, "Wait, wait! I’ll give you all my props and money, just spare me!"

Xu Huo was unmoved, and the male player had to raise the stakes, "Aside from these, I can also share with you some valuable information."

"Let’s hear it." Xu Huo showed a bit of interest.

"The first murder last night was definitely by that Teacher Fan," the male player said, "Last night I actually discovered someone was dead, so I quietly made some bloodstains on the side of my room. The murderer would definitely feel guilty and wipe them off. Surely enough, when I came out in the morning, the bloodstains were cleaned up, and just so happened my neighbor on the left was that Teacher Fan."

"That doesn’t prove it was him for sure. Maybe he just didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself," Xu Huo said.

"It was absolutely him." The male player said, "Yesterday I had accidentally overheard him asking the woman who died in the morning about the order players arrived; at the time, I didn’t know why, but what else is there to wonder about after obtaining the note?"

Coincidentally, the second note was obtained by the long-haired female player, who must also have known Teacher Fan’s intentions but saw no need to expose him because she too needed to know the arrival sequence of the other players.

That way, the death of the long-haired female player had two possibilities: either killed by the target or silenced by Teacher Fan.

But the difference was not significant.

"This piece of information is fairly common." Xu Huo pulled up a chair and sat opposite the man, "Tell me something else."

The man across from him darkened a bit before saying, "There should be a major event happening in Snow City."

"I have my information channels. It’s said that the upper echelons of Snow City, in order to invade other new districts and seize resources, purchased a batch of Large Space Weapons from the Game Base Government. You should know about the small space portals in District 002, it’s an upgraded version of that. Not only is it bigger, but people can also directly cross within the space."

"In a couple of days, once the beauty contest is over, it’s time for a massive departure of players from District 002, at which point Snow City will surely be in chaos. For us outsiders, it’s undoubtedly a good opportunity."

"Good opportunity..." Xu Huo chuckled lowly, "Just a chance to loot amidst the chaos."

The male player then said, "The people of District 002 are not so kind, robbing new districts, not knowing how many people they’d kill, it’s not too much to take some of their props, right?"

"With so many stores selling props and Potions, just robbing one can make up for doing an instance twice!"

"It is indeed tempting." Xu Huo stroked his chin, "But how do you, an outsider, know about such a big event?"

"I told you I have my channels," the male player clung to this bargaining chip, "and I have allies outside. Snow City surely won’t be foolish enough to pull all Advanced Players away, so choosing the right place is key, neither to leave empty-handed nor to get blocked."

Choosing the right place to rob is therefore very important.

"After the instance is over, I can take you to meet them. With your capabilities, getting a share of the loot, no one would object."

Xu Huo nodded his head, "Anything else?"

The male player hesitated, "What else would you like to know?"

"Partnering with you isn’t out of the question," Xu Huo tapped the floor with his foot, "but you’ll need to give me two decent props in exchange for your life."

Relieved at this, the male player handed over the "Hell’s Prison" he had just used, "This is a Rank-B prop, and my most practical one."

Of all the props he’d used just now, this was the one that Xu Huo had found to be the most promising, which is why he didn’t use the Life Core to destroy it.

But he did not take it.

"Just this one surely isn’t enough." The male player bit the bullet and took out a Rank-C item and a special item, "This really is the best I’ve got. You have to leave me something to save my own life, or I might not live to see the end of the instance."
