Chapter 170: Chapter 168: Do You Think What You Think Is What You Think?_1

...Huh?

Justin’s real name is Karni Kasting?

Annan was somewhat surprised.

That being said, Justin’s acting skills are not bad at all.

Although Annan could sense that he was probably not a good person, he never expected that this guy was an ex-murderer...

Annan totally failed to notice any murderous intent towards himself.

...Or is it not an act?

Did he actually get intimidated?

Annan remembered that nightmares were born from regrets that persisted until death without being dispelled.

The regret of Karni Kasting... couldn’t possibly be a quick death, could it?

If that were the case, he could have ended his harmful life long ago.

But if it was to successfully kill "Arthur," then the task itself would be impossible.

Let’s not even mention those four guards, but Arthur must survive.

So it’s not an issue that can be solved by simply sending someone to their death.

...No, don’t think too much.

This is just a simple dungeon... and without decryption provided, thinking too much is useless.

Even dungeons without decryption might have different rules from other dungeons, which is entirely possible...

Looking at Annan deep in thought on the spot, the scar-faced strongman with the name "Jiu’er" over his head cautiously glanced at Annan.

"...My lord?"

"Yes, it’s me."

Annan quickly came back to his senses.

He asked Jiu’er, "Right now, what do I look like? Describe my appearance and main features."

This Arthur Burnfang, if he could continue to live, would clearly be an important figure. Not to mention anything else, just from his personal belongings, one could tell he was definitely a wealthy man.

Perhaps Annan and the other players might meet him later.

Even though Annan was in the live stream, by asking this, he could make the players vaguely realize that they needed to pay attention to information about Arthur. That way, when they truly encounter him later, they could react immediately.

"You look... like a handsome young man who seems a bit mad. Thin, not very tall, with very scary eyes..."

Jiu’er described vaguely.

Listening to her description, Annan felt like he needed a hint of inspiration to understand.

Delicious Goose nearby couldn’t help either.

"...Let me do it."

He said and then explained to Annan, "This is Jiu’er. She’s not very proficient in this...

"You look like a young nobleman with golden curls, wearing a red and white collared cape that is very noticeable. About 1.7 meters tall, with a long face, very pale skin, and peculiar pupils that look like flowing lava. When you breathe, you exhale a faint white mist... with a sulfuric scent."

"...Hmm, I understand now."

Annan nodded in approval.

He glanced at the name over Delicious Goose’s head and asked, "Are you Old Goose?"

"Yes."

Delicious Goose nodded repeatedly, then introduced to Annan, "This is Eleven, this is Kid..."

...Still too young.

If I were really an NPC, I’d be cautious about why you can see other people’s real names by now.

Annan shook his head silently.

He reminded them, "I know you’re familiar with each other and can recognize each other easily. But if it’s not in my presence, and you’re in front of strangers, it’s best not to do this. Just introduce yourself honestly.

"Otherwise, they might suspect you have Curse Binding or cursed objects that allow you to see true names. This could very well lead to you being targeted or silenced."

Upon hearing this, Delicious Goose realized the gravity of the situation.

It dawned on him... what had become routine among players appeared wholly unnatural in the eyes of NPCs.

If this weren’t Tan Juan Geraint, they might end up becoming his enemies or being pushed to take the fall for him...

After all, in this dungeon, the guards could die, the Wizard could not.

Therefore, Delicious Goose nodded earnestly.

"I will inform them once I get back."

——Actually, there’s no need.

The players are watching their live stream right now.

They learned about this information the moment it was shared.

The reason Annan knew this.

Was because he too was silently lying in the live stream, ready to switch over and sneak a peek at any moment.

"You guys spread out."

Annan commanded, "Dismount the carriage. I’ll stand away from the main road, near the side of the woods. From this distance, a crossbow bolt shot from the woods can’t reach here. Eleven, you’re taller, so stand on my left... block any stray arrows for me, and watch the direction of the woods with me.

"Jiu’er and Old Goose, hide yourselves. You two should be far apart from each other, but still able to see one another, and also have a view of the three of us."

"Kid, you’re the shortest and thinnest. Try to climb up a tree... and observe from a higher vantage point, the back of the carriage, and the blind spots in my line of sight. Kid and Eleven, watch each other closely.

"Listen carefully, don’t move from your position under any circumstances, to avoid your partner not being able to find you and getting killed in the dark.

"I see you are all equipped with light crossbows and Stigmatization balls, if there’s no friendly fire in the direction of shooting, use the light crossbow. If there are friendlies, use the Stigmatization balls to shoot, and call out the person’s name. The person who hears their name should immediately dodge and turn to survey their surroundings.

"Remember, Kid and Eleven can shout warnings. Old Goose and Jiu’er, try to stay silent as much as possible unless you’re sure the enemy is close by."

Completely beyond the players’ initial expectations.

Annan was giving orders methodically, displaying the professionalism of an excellent commander.

The young golden-haired man who appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old exuded an overwhelming confidence and an unquestionable air of leadership.

If he really were a 25 or 26-year-old wizard, it would be fine.

But the problem is, in the eyes of the players, Annan only looked to be about 12 or 13 years old...

—— a bona fide elementary school student.

Are all elementary school students from Otherworld monsters these days?

"Let’s be clear on one thing. The enemy has the means to swiftly kill any one of us, and they certainly have ranged weapons like crossbows or bows. And for me, he is completely invisible.

"So if we look outwards from any one point, we’ll just get picked off one by one. Instead, we need to reverse it, look inward from all directions, keep an eye on each other’s positions, and use the children and Jiu’er as bait.

"As long as I can confirm a general direction, I’ll immediately launch a blanket attack. You are responsible for signaling to me whether the enemy survives, and for correcting my attacks.

"The goal this time is to defeat the enemy with one or fewer casualties. Understand?"

Annans gaze was sharp, his tone fast and clear enough: "What are you dazing for? Get into position quickly!"

"Understood!"

The four bodyguards quickly responded, each moving to their positions.

The players watching the live stream in the barrage were all a bit astonished.

"——How come Tan Juan is so professional?"

"——I don’t know, he shouldn’t know this kind of wilderness survival knowledge at his age."

"——What survival skills? This is knowledge on encamping and setting up alerts!"

"——I think the Geraint family might be military forces."

"——That could be possible..."

Annan remained silent as he watched the barrage.

He had already planned this tactic in advance.

While he visited this dungeon to lead players through speed-leveling, it was also a part of revealing his own strength and identity to them.

The identity of Tan Juan Geraint being uncovered was just a matter of time.

And "David" was a rare white identity that had no association whatsoever with Annan Winter.

So now, Annan was beginning to lay out his plans.

He would gradually show his abnormalities and reveal his true identity to the players bit by bit.

He wanted the players to slowly start suspecting his true identity... but to make them feel excited and tense, not deceived.

This was actually quite simple.

As long as the players understood that if Annan reverted to his true identity, the benefits for them would be much greater than now, and his prestige higher. And if the players knew that Annan wasn’t intending to deceive them, that their relationship had always been this way... then it was entirely doable.

This was actually quite simple.

Because the players were in a similar "amnesia" situation as Annan.

They had no idea what their real identities were.

When others said they were the private soldiers of Tan Juan Geraint, Annan didn’t deny it, but he didn’t confirm it either.

He just said, "These people are my bodyguards."

——But why couldn’t they be the bodyguards of Annan Winter?

After all, the real Tan Juan Geraint’s bodyguards had either run away or died.

It was very clean, easy to check.

When the time comes, players would have an epiphany: Ah, so I am also a person of Winter.

You think you think what you think?

The information that made you suspect me... is still provided by me!

When did you start to feel I wasn’t using "Mirror Flower, Water Moon"?

Sure enough, even without Annan directing the barrage, players had already begun to discuss Tan Juan Geraint’s position in his family, and the situation that the Geraint family might now be facing...

Using very marginal and fragmented details, they wildly speculated about plots they haven’t even touched. This too was characteristic of the player community...

"——My lord!"

But at that moment, Annan suddenly heard Jiu’er’s somewhat tense voice.

"...is that person... him?"

Seen them? ƒгeewёbnovel.com

So soon?

Annan was a bit surprised.

He glanced down subtly and used his peripheral vision to scan the direction Jiu’er was pointing with his chin.

After looking around twice, he saw no one.

So Annan immediately called out, "Attack!"

He opened his clenched right hand.

A burning dark gold gem soared up like the sun. Its light grew brighter... and at its peak, it transformed into a huge, somewhat illusory eyeball.

The pupil of the eyeball was like that of a serpent’s!

At that moment, Jiu’er, Xiao hai and one-one all immediately launched attacks in that direction.

But Annan still couldn’t see where the enemy was...

It was as if he had become a space-age player.

However, Annan quickly realized they were shooting Stigmatization spheres!

This meant that the distance between Roaring Fang and Karni Kasting was very short!

So short that they might cause accidental injury!

"Don’t move, I’ll go take a look,"

Annan replied decisively in a low voice.

This nearly scared the life out of Jiu’er——
