"Eight Reversed Cards?"
Yu Xiangnan tilted his head, pretending not to understand.
Ji Fu explained, "The Eight Reversed Positions is a collective term. Legend has it that only the eight players with the strongest overall strength can become the Eight Reversed Positions."
Yu Xiangnan nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
It seems that Ji Fu did indeed know something... In addition, from the establishment of the first Eight Great Reversed States until now, it has probably been sixty-six years. Combined with what Fu Meng said before, under normal circumstances, the term of a 'Eight Great Reversed States' is as long as fifty years, but since nine years ago, an election has been held every three years.
However, Ni Ya, Parade, and others mentioned the reversed position in the previous edition, so she guessed that the position of the eight reversed positions has not changed much, basically only for two editions, but the situation has become increasingly severe in recent years.
Yu Xiangnan's tone was tinged with doubt, "You said you only recently got the results of your investigation and learned that this prop is related to the eight reversed cardinal numbers. So, does that mean the person who impersonated your aunt was after this prop?"
Ji Fu replied, "I think it's very likely. But whatever their purpose may be, the situation is already quite dire."
Yu Xiangnan understood what he meant.
If players from outside Earth were to infiltrate a special operations team... that would be chaos, unimaginable chaos.
Yu Xiangnan asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Fu narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible glint of coldness flashing within them. He slowly raised his right hand and gently grasped the headphones hanging around his neck.
After a brief pause, he nodded.
"Can you gather some manpower? I can't trust the members of the special operations team right now."
“Of course.” Yu Xiangnan’s tone suddenly changed, and his eyes sharpened. “However, you have to tell me the complete plan in detail first, and also give me the list of personnel in the special operations team, how about that?”
“Okay,” Ji Fu pondered for a moment, then looked directly into Yu Xiangnan’s eyes, “I need to confirm, are you really planning to cooperate with me?”
Yu Xiangnan smiled and extended his right little finger, waving it: "Of course, don't you believe me? How about we pinky swear to confirm?"
Ji Fu rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "I'm an adult now. You can't go around making pinky promises to other people for 100 years."
“Oh, congratulations on successfully escaping the anti-addiction measures for minors…” Yu Xiangnan’s smile faded, and his expression became serious. “But to be honest, although I don’t know the purpose of that person’s actions, this matter is too tricky. I think we can test the waters first.”
Ji Fu nodded.
"Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking."
......
The two talked for another 30 minutes before Ji Fu left.
Yu Xiangnan stared at the list of special operations team members on the paper, lost in thought.
[Insect Nail] Remains, various abnormal behaviors... This matter is intricately connected to the Eight Reversed Cardinals, the Ruins Star, and the Moon Fera Star.
What's baffling is that the [Insect Nail] was able to parasitize the game before it was even invaded? This item is incredibly bizarre.
No wonder "Ying Xiao" was able to single-handedly assemble a special operations team under the banner of the National Special Administration to collect Dragon Mu Totem fragments. It's highly likely that shortly before or after the game invasion, she had already secretly eliminated all the other members of the team.
It's not yet possible to confirm whether this person is indeed a new player from Ruins. After all, the new players from Ruins harbor strong murderous intent towards her, yet this imposter shows no such hostility whatsoever.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he has been hiding very well and initially did not find an opportunity to strike, so he has not succeeded until now and can only wait for the right moment.
The members of the special operations team were indeed all renowned players on the leaderboard, much as she had initially guessed. Among them were also members of the guild [Qingyun], which Ying Xiao had founded.
Ji Fu's plan did indeed sound quite meticulous, with each step interconnected and every detail carefully considered. But as he himself said, a large number of people would be needed to successfully implement the plan.
Judging from the current situation, the probability of players being assigned to the same instance in the survival instance is too low, making it virtually impossible to carry out any actions. Therefore, the only option is to take action during rest periods.
If they were to operate during a rest period, calling Fedobula over for help wouldn't be out of the question. However, once they reached Blue Star, their abilities would be significantly weakened, which would undoubtedly be a thorny issue. But if they were considering the local players on Blue Star, besides Ning Xiluo and Ning Haizhi from her own guild, she could talk to Huo Qingyi.
Just then, Yu You, who had been hiding in the warehouse with a bunch of placement items, yawned loudly and slowly floated out.
"Finally free! I almost fell asleep..."
Upon seeing it, Yu Xiangnan had a sudden inspiration and quickly asked, "Yu You, can you become invisible? Or can you conceal your aura?"
"Conceal your presence?" Yu You instantly perked up, confidently declaring, "I am a top-tier ghost from the Underworld; naturally, I am omnipotent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the skull, which had originally been only the size of a bead, was suddenly surrounded by a strange, faint light, and then quickly became transparent. In a short while, only a faint, extremely fine outline could be vaguely seen.
Unless you get close and look closely, you can hardly notice its existence; it's like a speck of dust floating in the air.
Moreover, even with keen perception, it is difficult to detect.
Yu Xiangnan was very satisfied and said, "Not bad. After the next survival instance ends, I have a difficult task for you. It's extremely tricky, and I can only rely on you."
"Only...only I can rely on you?!" Upon hearing this, Yu You paused abruptly, then coughed lightly, "Since you trust me so much, then I agree!"
......
Two days later.
drop--
The "rest period" is over; we are now entering the survival instance...
Yu Xiangnan was teleported to a void, and at the same time, a emotionless mechanical voice rang out.
[Countdown begins, 3, 2, 1...]
[The game has officially started; dungeons are being randomly selected...]
[Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00), Dungeon: "City of Light"; Dungeon Players: 1000; Preparation Period: 24 hours; Survival Period: 20 days.]
The blinding white light once again engulfed our vision.
