Chapter 3: Hidden Mission

  As soon as Xiao Xuan's words fell, the scene suddenly fell into silence. Dong Ge's eyebrows furrowed, Liu Min's face showed an unbelievable expression, and Ding Ming had a look of having seen a ghost. It was clear that they did not know beforehand that the master of this villa in front of them was the protagonist of this movie.

  "What's wrong, haven't you guys seen the movie 'Human Eradication Plan'?" Xiao Xuan seemed to have realized something and asked.

  "To be honest, we haven't actually seen it because this movie isn't very well-known and we can't possibly watch every single movie in the world." Liu Min nodded in agreement. "After entering this task world, we first roughly understood the background of this task world from the main god's introduction, and then through mobile phone connections to query the internet of this world, we finally had a relatively comprehensive understanding of this so-called 'Human Purge Plan'. So if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have known that we coincidentally ended up in the home of the protagonist of this movie."

  "So, in other words, you didn't know which movie background task world you would enter before entering this task world from the main god space?"

  "That's right, it's indeed the case. We can't predict which movie background the next task world will be based on." Liu Min shrugged helplessly, "If we could predict in advance which movie background the next task world would be based on and prepare ahead of time, our chances of survival would increase a lot."

  "No, it's not that it can't be predicted." Dong Ge interrupted Liu Min's words at this time. "It's not that it can't be predicted, but rather our Chinese team's qualifications and permissions are not enough to predict the background of the next task world at this stage. Because our Chinese team has not had a captain until now, when I was still a newcomer, those senior members back then were able to predict in advance the next movie world. However, with those senior members all dead now, none of us currently have the qualifications to be recognized by the main god as having the ability to become the captain of the Chinese team. Predicting the background of the next task world is a special privilege of the captain."

  According to Brother Dong's words, it means that although he is now the de facto captain of the Chinese team and everyone in the team listens to him, his strength has not yet reached the level where the main god recognizes him as the captain. Therefore, at the level of recognition by the main god, the Chinese team is still in a state of "no captain".

  Ding Ming spoke up and asked, "Isn't this a bit too coincidental? We were just randomly looking for a villa to control the entrance, and we happened to run into the family of the protagonist of this movie?"

  "It may not be a coincidence, and I don't believe in such coincidences. It's probably the will of the supreme god that we should meet the protagonist of this movie. So no matter which villa or household we choose, in the end, we would still have met this family. Because it is the will of the supreme god, it is God, and when God says let there be light, then there is light. For us, it's an unthinkable thing, but for God, it's simple and effortless."

  Xiao Xuan said while sizing up Dong Ge and the others, after discovering that they all looked at him, he continued to analyze: "I think, the main god will not let us gather with the protagonist of this movie for no reason, maybe something will change, or, before I thought of the so-called main line task and branch line characters, then, next, will the main god give us a hidden task?"

  "Chinese squad triggers hidden mission 'Human Purge Plan 1' - Protect Sandin through the Night of Slaughter! Failure will result in instant team wipe, success rewards 800 points and a G-grade drama reward for all team members."

  It seemed to be intentionally matching Xiao Xuan's analysis, just as Xiao Xuan had finished speaking, the main god's task prompt sounded in the minds of all members of the Chinese team. At this moment, including Dong Ge, the original three veterans of the Chinese team looked at Xiao Xuan with completely changed eyes. A newcomer like Xiao Xuan, even if he hadn't survived his first task world and hadn't received the main god's strengthening, was already worthy of being recognized and accepted as a teammate by these veterans because of his wisdom. After all, there really wasn't anyone in this Chinese team who could be called a wise person.

  "It's just as I thought."

  Xiao Xuan patted his pocket, intending to pull out a tissue, but found that the tissues were all used up. He had no choice but to walk over to the dining table and pull out a tissue from the tissue box on the table to wipe his glasses. In fact, Xiao Xuan's eyesight was not nearsighted, but due to the special nature of his eyes, he still insisted on wearing a pair of mild color-changing glasses at times to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

  "So, next, we have to go protect him? If we're going to protect him, how are we supposed to participate in the Night of Bloodshed to earn reward points? Isn't the side quest from the main god a waste then?"

  Ding Ming couldn't help but mutter, it was clear that he had originally been looking forward to going out and killing people at night to earn reward points, but now with this so-called hidden task, he knew that all of this had almost become a luxury. Because Ding Ming also knew that he didn't have the strength to take a ordinary oil bottle outside to kill people yet, and if something unexpected happened to this oil bottle, his entire team would be instantly wiped out by the main god. Who dared to take such a risk?

  "It can't be said that way, anyway, I think God won't do something absolutely meaningless. Some miracles we can't understand or comprehend, but it can't be said to be useless. Moreover, the trigger for this hidden task is conditional, because we previously chose to enter the villa to find a safe haven with security facilities. With the protection of the security system, it unknowingly reduced the difficulty of completing our main task. So, the main God simply set up a hidden task here for us, which also increased the difficulty of completing the task; if we kept wandering on the streets until 7 pm when the killing night began, we wouldn't have triggered this hidden task."

  Dong Ge nodded, he walked up and patted Xiao Xuan's shoulder, "Kid, you really surprised me. I'm officially announcing that I accept you as a member of the Chinese team, becoming a recognized teammate among us veterans. From now on, let's work together to get through this damn task world. By the way, it's time for your self-introduction, what's your name?"

  Xiao Xuan.

  Xiao Xuan nodded calmly as he said his name, and was accepted by the seniors, seemingly without causing much fluctuation in Xiao Xuan's mood. In fact, from entering the main god world to now, Xiao Xuan had always given people a very stable and calm feeling.

  Actually, in a deeper sense, since the big fire took away his family, Xiao Xuan's heart has been closed off. What he had left was only a pursuit and longing for what is known as "God". It can also be said that Xiao Xuan is actually similar to those fanatics who dream of seeing "God", except that Xiao Xuan is calmer and more daring, and has more logical thinking than those people. Of course, now Xiao Xuan has finally found the way to see the "Main God".

  "Liu Min, you and Xiao Xuan are in charge of checking the windows and details of this villa. Don't miss any place. Ding Ming, you're responsible for finding another place to lock up this woman and these two kids. I'll take Sang Ding with me to activate the security system of this villa first. It's already 6 o'clock now, and it's not far from 7 o'clock. Everyone should get ready well. I have a premonition that tonight will be unusual."

  "Got it, Brother Dong."

  "I'll go check on the house right away."

  Liu Min glanced at Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan naturally followed her to the second floor to check the windows. Meanwhile, Ding Ming gazed at the plump body of the female owner, a sly smile spreading across his face as he said in a low voice:

  "Alright, I'll lock you up in the basement then. It's quiet there and won't disturb me while I'm busy, heh heh."

  ……

  "Xiao Xuan? This name sounds pretty good, what did you used to do in real life?"

  As she walked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Liu Min began to speak actively. Before, she just felt some sexual interest in Xiao Xuan's clean and handsome appearance. Now, through their previous conversation and analysis, Liu Min started to take an interest in Xiao Xuan as a whole person.

  "Writing a book." Xiao Xuan crouched down and carefully checked whether the joints of the floor-to-ceiling windows were tightly closed.

  "Oh, so you're a writer! How interesting. I remember when I was younger, I always thought it would be great to marry a writer with a scholarly air, surrounded by books, lying on top of them, sniffing the scent of ink... just thinking about it is exciting and moving."

  Hehe, Xiao Xuan, do you think I'm a very cheap and shameless woman? I've slept with Ding Ming, done it with Dong Ge too, and even in the last task world, I specially forced a few handsome guys to do it with me once.

  Xiao Xuan checked the skylight and confirmed it was tightly closed, then he stood up and walked towards another window. Liu Min asked him a question, to which he replied in a very calm tone:

  "When arriving at this place of unknown life and death, the vast majority of people will go to extremes. Some collapse, while others, like you, will intentionally pursue some sensual pleasures. Things that were not done or dared not be done in real society before are now done crazily here. This is a basic way for humans to relieve pressure. Simply put, it's not about being cheap or not, but just doing what most people would choose to do in this situation."

  Liu Min suddenly pushed Xiao Xuan to the corner of the wall, one hand touching Xiao Xuan's chest and the other hand probing down. Her small mouth blew air into Xiao Xuan's ear: "You little rascal, making people really like you to death. Here, do it with me once, okay? Sister's technique is great and very gentle, guaranteed to make you comfortable."

  Xiao Xuan had been unresponsive for a long time, and Liu Min raised her head to look at Xiao Xuan's face. She suddenly discovered that Xiao Xuan's eyes seemed a bit strange, even through the light blue tinted glasses, she could still catch the unusual glint in his eyes. Moreover, Xiao Xuan's body had begun to tremble slightly, cold sweat kept flowing out, and his hair was instantly drenched, as if he was enduring great pain.

  "What's wrong with your eyes?" Liu Min asked.

  "I saw the picture of this villa being blown up." Xiao Xuan directly pushed away Dong Min, who was leaning on him, and said in a low voice: "This villa can't be left!"
