"The Survivor": Slander! Utter Slander!

"You're going to act alone?" Daisy raised an eyebrow.

Xu Xi asked calmly, "Is there a problem?"

Everyone fell silent.

After a moment, Briman spoke up, "I suddenly want to change my mind."

He smiled at the young man, "Friend, why don't I join you?"

Xu Xi gave him a cryptic look, but said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement.

This guy seems to really enjoy having someone take the lead.

Seeing the young man's seemingly meaningful gaze, and recalling the strange glance he had received earlier, Briman almost lost his smile.

He hadn't forgotten what happened to that short-haired woman.

"Ahem." Thinking of this, Briman coughed lightly, then changed the subject, "But since I've already decided to challenge the Burial Forest with these two ladies, I can't back out at the last minute."

His smile returned to normal, even carrying a perfectly timed hint of apology. "Friend, best of luck."

The two people mentioned Geseling and Kuxiya, exchanged glances but ultimately did not contradict each other.

"..." Xu Xi was speechless.

Is this person playing a trick on him?

"That's settled then, we'll see each other again later." Winniever clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back, and prepared to part ways.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xi turned and left without saying a word.

This decisive action made the remaining few people, who wanted to say something more, swallow back the words that were already on the tip of their tongues, each with their own thoughts.

"Ah, what a special player... truly fascinating." Yurien sighed wistfully, watching the young man's figure gradually disappear.

Saha gave him a strange look and moved closer to Ichimura Kōta had remained silent the entire time.

Yurien, noticing Saha's actions. "... I was just praising him."

Saha snorted coldly.

Praise? More like an evaluation.

The Huaguo man's actions were too conspicuous, especially when he said he wanted to act alone. He couldn't help but look the man up and down.

He was curious where the young man got the courage to leave the group at the very beginning of the Dungeon.

He knew, of course, that no player who could participate in the Mixed-Team Competition was useless.

Even with a trump card, caution is still essential.

After all, we have a limited set of cards to play, and a limited lifespan.

However, it is also possible that the other party obtained some concrete clues and felt that the danger was under control.

Currently, this seems to be the most likely scenario.

Saha glanced at Briman, whose expression was inscrutable, and chuckled inwardly.

I want to get some clues but I don't want to get scammed.

There's no such cheap deal in Dungeons.

Although he was also envious of the clues that the Huaguo boy might have, he preferred to be more cautious.

In situations where information is unclear and intentions are unpredictable, prioritizing the completion of known and definite tasks is the safest survival strategy.

Therefore, it's more practical to follow the main group; the risks are shared, and the goals are clear.

"Alright, it's about time, let's go." Winniever, having turned his gaze away, spoke up.

No one objected.

He looked at the group of people, each lost in their own thoughts, and knew what they were thinking.

To put it bluntly, that Huaguo man has now become a target.

Everyone is watching and waiting for him to explore the path and demonstrate his value.

Winniever shook his head, suppressing these thoughts; wasn't he the same way?

Without further thought, he headed towards the location of the Torture Tower marked on the map.

With someone taking the lead, everyone focused their attention and dispersed towards their respective destinations according to the pre-arranged teams.

Soon, the front hall was empty.

At this point, the four teams each set off for different areas.

Once she was out of everyone's sight, Xu Xi slowed her pace slightly.

Because he didn't know where to find the red Skull Symbol.

Suddenly I realized... he still seems to need to wander around.

After a series of dramatic events in the Livestream Room, the most emotional viewers were undoubtedly those from Maple Leaf Country, who were practically crying and wailing.

Their player was the first to be eliminated. Although he didn't die, his deep coma was practically the same as being eliminated.

Did Huaguo players already know Dana would be attacked? (IP Maple Leaf Country)

[Even if he knew, so what? Does he have to be responsible for your players? Friend, wake up (IP Romance Country)]

In fact, Huaguo netizens were also murmuring in front of their screens.

To say that Xu Xi was completely unaware beforehand?

I don't believe it.

But.

[Slander! Pure slander! My boss only glanced at her, who knows what taboo your contestant broke (IP Huaguo)]

[Defamation! Pure defamation! Just a coincidence (IP from Huaguo)]

Some netizens, however, focused on another matter.

[Didn't anyone notice the sheer number of strange things that appeared at the last minute? They were like they were seeping directly from the walls and floor! Good heavens, there were more of them than a hair on my head! (IP Luo Country)]

Huaguo.

"It seems that netizens from other countries don't quite believe that Xu Xi glanced at the screen unintentionally," said host Yao Han, looking at the rapidly scrolling, speculative, and questioning comments from various countries on the split screen.

On the split screen, real-time bullet comments are scrolling at an unprecedented density.

[He definitely knows something! That look in his eyes was no coincidence! (IP Maple Leaf Country)]

[Intelligence advantage? But how did he predict that? (IP Hans Country)]

[Ah, that glance he gave our player afterwards... (IP United States)]

Luo Zongyun lowered his crossed legs. "Well, actually, I don't believe it either."

[I can't take it anymore, even the breathing of Master Xu Xi is a life full of profound meaning]

[Don't even mention it, even if he were to pick his toes right there, I'd suspect it was because he's weirdly afraid of athlete's foot.]

[c, It smells bad, get out of here!]

A thoughtful look flashed across Lin Miao's face. "It seems these Blue-Gray Entity are undoubtedly former victims; the numbers match up."

Jiang Jin timely raised his question, "But strangely, apart from the players from Maple Leaf Country, it seems only player Xu Xi can see them?"

Even he, watching from outside the screen, was shocked by the sheer number of people, yet he remained unfazed when he was up close with those eerie young men staring at each other.

Jiang Jin didn't show it on the surface, but he secretly admired him greatly.

Luo Zongyun chimed in, "Perhaps it was Xu Xi's remarks as a tourist in front of the Dungeon that caused some kind of difference."

He continued, "Xu Xi temporarily registered a visitor identity for himself, and the visitor identity can be recognized as an accessible object by the monsters, but the other players are still currently identified as intruders."

[Thank you, Brother Luo. I finally understand. So the words "exhibition hall" themselves are a clue.]

[If being different means being subjected to so much strange and intense scrutiny, then I'll stick with it.]

[Don't make me laugh, what you said wasn't voluntary, it was forced due to intellectual limitations.]

[Wow, if you don't explain, I'll still be in the dark!]

"Speaking of the Dungeon, I wonder what important clues are hidden under that stone slab," Yao Han said, her voice filled with regret.

Lin Miao and Luo Zongyun exchanged glances.

Lin Miao: "I think... Xu Xi might already know what's inside."

The fleeting look of understanding on the other person's face as they left suggested they knew what was going on.
