Within sight, there was no trace of other players or NPCs; the butcher and the other mutated NPCs silently dispersed.
The butcher dragged his heavy steps back to the dilapidated house.
Everything returned to calm, except for the long-dried corpse on the ground.
Yu Xiangnan observed for a while longer before turning his gaze away and asking Fei Duo, "Fei Duo, I want to talk to you. I originally just wanted to ask you about the prophecy, but Gong Mo suddenly appeared today and even mentioned the [Insect Nails] on Moonfire Star..."
"I want to know, why were you able to accurately name the Wan Ya who helped him and the second reversed one come to Blue Star to find me? What is your relationship with it? And what is the connection between this and the traitor you mentioned who helped the players from the Ruins Star come to Blue Star?"
The thick, black mist, as dark as ink, was slowly churning, its thoughts unreadable.
A moment later, the chat box popped up.
【chat】
[Feiduo]: To be honest, Moonfella Star is actually divided into two opposing factions: the Prophecy Faction and the Anti-Prophecy Faction. I belong to the Prophecy Faction, and while that traitor who helped the players from Ruins Star come to Blue Star also belonged to the Prophecy Faction... I think he was essentially an Anti-Prophecy Faction.
[Feiduo]: However, this is just my guess. As for why it chose to betray us and instead help that player from the Ruins Star, we still don't understand.
[Fedo]: Wanya...
[Fei Duo]: Wan Ya is also a member of the prophetic faction. Half a year ago, before we received the prophecy that "some of your actions will lead to the destruction of the Ruins Star and bring new life to the Moon Fera Star," Wan Ya told us that it had been recruited by the current second reversed card—Fu Meng—and become one of the reversed guardians. Gong Mo also mentioned [Insect Nail] and the second reversed card, which is why I thought of it.
So that's how it is...
But don't monthly Fera Star players only have one [Insect Nail]? It was just used up so casually?
This kind of overpowered item that can break through the rules of the game can really play an extraordinary role if used properly.
Yu Xiangnan then asked, "What do you know about the eight reversed positions? About six months ago, a Blue Star player named Ying Xiao asked me to help him find the [Dragon Mu Totem Fragment]. As far as I know, the [Dragon Mu Totem] was an item left behind by the second reversed position from the previous tournament."
[Feiduo]: In our last prediction, we did mention the Dragon Totem item. But wasn't Blue Star just launched six months ago? How would that Blue Star player have known about it?
Upon hearing Fei Duo's question, Yu Xiangnan pursed his lips, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
yes.
Why did Ying Xiao know about this thing so early, right after the first survival dungeon ended?
Unless she encountered something during the first survival instance that led her to learn of the [Dragon Totem]'s existence, either Ying Xiao is no longer the same Ying Xiao...
Yu Xiangnan gasped.
At this moment, the chat box popped up again.
[Fei Duo]: In my opinion, the second reversed card wants to talk to you most likely because of the [Dragon Totem]. After all, I've heard that this year's second reversed card and the previous year's second reversed card were partners.
"companion?"
A look of surprise flashed across Yu Xiangnan's eyes, his brows furrowed, and he seemed somewhat skeptical.
Bula was already so sleepy that its eyelids were drooping. It had just finished eating a can of luncheon meat, and its mouth was covered in meat juice. It was about to run to the little nest that Yu Xiangnan had built for it to sleep.
Sensing the presence of gossip, it stood up abruptly, its ears perked up, and its previously cloudy eyes instantly became clear and bright.
The spirit of gossip burns fiercely.
[Fei Duo]: Yes, the Moon Fera Star had already been invaded by this game before the last eight reversed positions appeared, so it knows a lot of information.
[Feiduo]: I heard that in a chaotic dungeon where everyone was in a party, the second-ranked player from the previous round and the current second-ranked player were assigned to the same party. As a result, the previous second-ranked player accidentally encountered an NPC that appeared due to a bug, and their health was almost depleted.
[Fedo]: The second reversed card in this cycle, also known as Fu Meng, had a very low level at the time, yet somehow managed to revive someone. Afterwards, the two successfully avoided monsters created by a game glitch. During this process, they developed a deep emotional bond and eventually became partners.
At this point, the parts on both sides of Fedor's body that originally resembled human hands surged and rolled, gradually transforming into two perfect heart shapes.
—??—
Yu Xiangnan was also unusually focused.
Goodness, I've finally figured it out.
Based on the relationships between the characters presented so far, there seems to be a logical chain: the second reversed card from the previous period and the second reversed card from this period are partners, while the Sea Witch, as the fifth reversed card from the previous period, is a friend of the second reversed card.
Based on this emotional connection, it can be inferred that the second reversed card in this edition is in the same camp as the Sea Witch, or at least not in an adversarial state.
However, given the complex situation and conflicting interests, such a relationship may be impacted, and more details and evidence are needed to further clarify and verify the true stance of the second reversed position.
Yu Xiangnan leaned against the wall by the window, arms crossed, head slightly turned to the side, his gaze lingering briefly on the dazed butcher before looking away.
He then looked at Fedor beside him.
She then asked, "By the way, Fedor, do you know about Moon Teardrops?"
When Fei Duo heard Yu Xiangnan's question, he was slightly taken aback.
[Fedo]: Yes, the Moon Tear is a unique item of Moonfera, originating from Moon Tear Cliff. Legend has it that it was formed from the tears of the moon goddess. This thing already existed on our planet before the game's invasion.
[Fedo]: Moon Tears possess healing power, symbolizing hope and rebirth, but it seems they cannot be used directly in the game.
[Fedo]: That's all I know.
Yu Xiangnan nodded.
At this moment, Bula, who had been lurking and observing the situation, suddenly posted a message.
[Bula]: Report, I smell lunch... ugh, the smell of a corpse!
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnan followed Bula out of the shelter to search for the player's corpse.
At the same time.
At the end of the old street in the small town, there is an inconspicuous funeral shop.
The shop owner was nearly fifty years old, with loose and sallow skin, small eyes, and a thin build, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
He wore a long black robe and walked very lightly and silently. He wore black gloves on his hands. When arranging funeral supplies, his movements were unusually swift. Whether arranging paper figures and horses or folding ingots, he was surprisingly skilled and focused.
