Global Collapse

Chapter 356 The Yue Maiden's Paper Cube
007 frowned slightly.

Gu Mian also looked at Yue Nu thoughtfully.

He remembered that Chu Changge had mentioned this point when she first received the game rules from 007.

Ordinary people cannot kill, but ghosts can kill anyone.

Ordinary people can use this rule to identify who is the ghost.

Now, the Yue woman is clearly going to start using this rule.

She then said, "Leaving aside Zhang Pingfan and Pan Yue who are not here, there are eight of us here now. We eight can use the rule that 'civilians cannot kill other players, while ghosts can kill any player' to find the ghost hidden among us."

At this moment, Coco, who was sitting by the window deep in thought, also looked over. She seemed to have guessed Yue Nu's thoughts: "You mean... we should use this rule to actively attack other players?"

At this moment, Li Yibai looked at Yue Nu with some shock.

Yue Nu continued, "That's right. The rules state that civilians cannot kill other players, so as long as you're a civilian, you can't kill anyone. Even if you try to stab another player with a knife, you won't succeed. Conversely, any player who can stab someone to death with a knife after 8 PM is definitely a ghost..."

Yuan Qinghua, who was closest to Yue Nu, widened her eyes slightly: "You mean when the time comes, we'll... stab each other?"

Yue Nu paused slightly before continuing, "That's roughly the idea. If civilians put others' lives in danger, the game will definitely stop them."

So those who can't stab others to death are ordinary people, and those who can stab others to death are ghosts.

Upon hearing Yue Nu's words, Li Yibai was the first to stand up excitedly: "No! Absolutely not, this is too absurd! If the game can prevent civilians from killing, then who knows how the game prevents civilians from killing? Does it just eliminate civilians who want to kill?"

Before last night, none of the people present paid much attention to the word "out of the game".

But after witnessing Li Wentao's removal from the election, no one could continue to ignore this term.

Being eliminated means death.

Li Yibai still remembers Li Wentao's strangely twisted body before his death yesterday, and the tears flowing from his eyes.

At this moment, Gu Mian also spoke up: "I remember in the games I used to play, people who broke the rules would be eliminated directly, right? So I guess the way the game prevents civilians from killing is to directly eliminate civilians who are about to kill."

007 also turned to look at Yue Nu: "That's right, it's best not to try this method lightly."

Yue Nu's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed: "I guessed you might not agree with my idea, but it's okay... Just remember that only civilians can't kill other players. If anyone sees someone kill someone, then that person must be a ghost."

She paused again at this point: "So I suggest that everyone not separate tonight. If we all stay together, the ghost will definitely not dare to show itself and kill people."

Coco frowned: "We were together all night, but then the ghosts separated us. I'm afraid we might not be able to stay together even if we want to."

Yue Nu nodded slightly: "Although I wasn't with you last night, Lin Qi has already told me everything about you. The ghosts will separate people after 8 p.m.

Since 007 and Yue Nu were in the same class, they had more opportunities to interact, so 007 told Yue Nu most of what happened last night. "If we are really separated, I hope that no matter where we are scattered, we will all come back to this classroom to gather," Yue Nu said, lowering her voice. "Ideally, when the second round of voting takes place at three o'clock this morning, everyone will be gathered here."

“But that’s impossible,” Li Yibai said anxiously. “Like yesterday, we were all sent to a place a hundred thousand kilometers away from the school and couldn’t go downstairs. There’s no way we could get back to this classroom.”

If they could, ghosts would have a thousand ways to prevent them from meeting.

Yue Nu spoke up to calm the agitated Li Yibai: "I know, so I just want you to try to get back here before 3 a.m. today to vote. If you can't get back, then you'll have to vote on your own. I can't help you."

At this moment, 007 sensed that Yue Nu's words seemed to have a hidden meaning. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "You mean, if we gather here before 3 a.m., will you provide any clues about the vote?"

Yue Nu nodded: "I only discovered that there are usable items in this game after we separated at noon today."

Can we use the props? Gu Mian frowned.

He knew that players in dungeons could use special items, but he couldn't find any such items in the game, and the rules didn't mention them. Was Yue Nu making things up, or did such things really exist?

Everyone dispersed at noon today.

Yue Nu was the last to return to the classroom, and she had a lot of free time. Perhaps the "prop" she mentioned was found during that time.

Li Yibai immediately asked, "You found the prop, what is it?"

The Yue woman shook her head slightly: "I can't say for now, but with this tool, I will definitely find out who one of the three ghosts is tonight..."

As she said this, Gu Mian suddenly interrupted, "Since you've said that, the ghost's target tonight is definitely you. You have a very high probability of dying tonight, so there's no need to use the props you have. You don't think there aren't any ghosts among the eight of us here, do you? Why are you saying this now?"

The Yue woman was slightly taken aback. She didn't know the identities of others, but she was certain that she was a commoner.

This instance is somewhat special; it's the only one she's ever encountered where the mission doesn't necessarily fail even if the player dies.

Even if she dies, as long as the remaining living civilians vote all the ghosts out, the dungeon mission is complete.

If the surviving civilians are clever enough, she might be able to win while dragging a corpse along.

Yue Nu noticed that there were a few mysterious players among the dungeon players, but she couldn't be sure if they were human or ghosts, so she didn't plan to win while dragging a corpse along.

Even though she said those words in front of everyone, she didn't expect to be eliminated tonight.

They need to at least hold out until the next round.

As Yue Nu pondered this, she said, "Of course I don't want to die, so today I will randomly hand this thing in my hand to one of the people present."

As she spoke, she took out seven almost identical paper cubes from her pocket. No one could tell whether there was anything inside. "The 'prop' I was talking about is among these. Now I'm going to distribute them to you randomly, so even I don't know who will end up with that 'prop'."
