Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 604 Frequent tricks
Half-human?

Li Zheng was puzzled when he saw this.

Does this kind of race exist on Planet Blue?
Judging from the name, he seems to be a player from the muddy country. He plays quite the fancy game, huh?
And what does it mean that I recognize his eyes?
I've seen him, but have I only seen his eyes?
Li Zheng thought back carefully and realized he had never had such a bizarre experience before.

But after giving the other party the information, Old Pu fell silent, clearly starting his riddle-solving routine again, leaving the rest to be figured out by himself.

While Li was looking at Yamamoto, the other man was also looking at him.

Yamamoto sensed a very faint familiar aura from Li Zheng; it was a backup plan he had left behind!
"So this guy took the things I used for rebirth!" Evil Eye Yamamoto gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that even though he had his eyes on such a far back channel, he could still be found.

"Unfortunately, his identity was concealed by the rules in this special room, so we don't know his name yet..." Evil Eye pondered for a moment, and already had an idea.

If you can't get your things back from the other person in the special room, you should try to find out their identity so that you can find them after you leave.

[Everyone is here. Now, let's announce the game rules for this round of challengers:]
The winning method is simple: each participant advances by eliminating one other person.

The advancement method was so simple that it was practically a freebie for Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Listen to me, I'll tell you who to eliminate, and you just investigate and submit your identity verification." Li Zheng immediately assigned the team members their targets.

"Wang Xiaoshan, your target is the short guy on the right platform." Li Zheng was referring to Yamamoto, who happened to be a general, and Wang Xiaoshan could perfectly counter him.

However, he didn't say it explicitly, but instead gave a vague answer.

Trusting Li Zheng, Wang Xiaoshan used his detection ability, and an invisible wave struck Evil Eye Yamamoto.

Although the commotion was subtle, it did not escape the eyes of everyone present.

The ability to detect is traceable!

In this way, everyone can clearly see who is spying on them, and can also use their abilities to conceal their identity the moment they are spyed on.

This was an enormous advantage for the executors from the outer city.

After all, their fourth ability is "countermeasures," which can directly eliminate those who are trying to detect them!

“Boss Ruizhou, his identity is the same as mine, a Marquis. Even if I submit, I won’t be eliminated.” After investigating, Wang Xiaoshan first disguised himself and randomly changed into another identity.

"I'll do it!" Upon hearing that the other party's identity was Hou, Carol, the only 'King' in the team, was so excited that she didn't even need to use her detection abilities and directly submitted the verification to the terminal.

Verification failed!

Four large characters appeared above Carol's head. The next second, the platform beneath his feet suddenly split open, and his body fell uncontrollably into the abyss.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

The screams echoed below the empty platform before quickly fading away.

"Damn it!!" Li Zheng roared, "Didn't I tell you to listen to me?"

I warned them repeatedly, but I still couldn't believe that some fools would act on their own!

Li Zheng was truly impressed by some people's inexplicable confidence. If this kind of plot appeared in a web novel he used to read, he would have cursed the author to death for writing such an idiotic thing.

But this is reality...

"Wang Xiaoshan!" Li Zheng wanted Wang Xiaoshan to take this opportunity to eliminate Yamamoto on the other side.

As a result, four large characters appeared above Yamamoto's head.

[Successfully advanced!]

Immediately afterwards, the platform beneath Yamamoto's feet also split open and fell down.

"????"

This scene caught everyone off guard. How could the treatment be the same for those who successfully advanced and those who failed the verification?

Also, how did he advance?
"Look at the rules!" someone exclaimed, having discovered the truth. "The terminal only tells us to eliminate anyone, but it doesn't specify how, so reverse elimination is still elimination!"

"Holy crap~?" someone on another platform exclaimed, "This actually works?" Now everyone was too scared to make a move, because the detection ability had a limited number of uses, the same as the disguise ability. Even if all of them were used on one person, they might not be able to find out the other person's true identity, so no one dared to waste them.

Don't forget, besides the ability to disguise yourself and randomly change into other identities, there is also a deception ability that allows others to see a specific identity. In other words, the margin for error for the detection skill is very low!

"Hey, who's that teammate of yours who got eliminated?" someone asked loudly.

Yamamoto's team consisted of only two people. Knowing Carol's identity, it could be deduced that Yamamoto was at least not a marquis.

Given the nature of the terminal, it's highly unlikely that two people would have the same identity, so the remaining one is easy to guess.

Upon hearing this question, Chen Qianxiang realized the same thing and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, Li Zheng and his group ignored the other party, because exposing Carol's identity, even if it was a fabricated lie, would be easily deciphered by someone using reverse thinking.

Silence is the best option.

The atmosphere on the field gradually became awkward. No one wanted to waste their investigative abilities, and no one wanted to be the next to be eliminated.

"I'm saying..." someone couldn't help but speak up again, "Don't you guys think this is unreasonable? Why do those who successfully advance suffer the same fate as those who fail the test?"

The bottom of the platform is unfathomable; even with extraordinary physical abilities, they would surely die in freefall.

unless……

"Is it possible that in this round of the challenger game, even if you're eliminated, you won't die?" someone speculated.

Someone immediately suggested, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Everyone immediately shut up.

This is risking your life; who would dare to try it lightly?
After a while.

Someone said, "Continuing to drag this out won't benefit anyone. Why don't we switch? I'll tell you who your teammates are, and you tell me who yours are too."

"Shut up!"

“Funny mad pee!”

His teammates immediately shouted in rebuttal. Before entering this place, they, like Li Zheng's team, had all identified themselves to each other so that they could know each other's background and cooperate effectively.

It turns out that someone in the team wanted to betray them?

Who can bear this?

"This traitor's identity is that of a prime minister!" Someone preemptively exposed him.

Embarrassingly, no one from the other teams moved, and the expected scenario of some advancing and others being eliminated never happened.

Li Zheng chuckled to himself; these people really put on a convincing performance.

The 'traitor' is clearly a king, not a prime minister.

In order to successfully deceive the enemy, the 'traitor' even used his deceptive abilities, transforming himself into the 'Prime Minister' to try to appear caught off guard.

Not only did it fail, but it also failed to deceive others' ability to detect, resulting in a wasted opportunity for deception.

"They're all ancient foxes, what are they doing putting on a show like Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?" someone scoffed.

Just then, ripples suddenly appeared in the air, instantly hitting two members of the team that had just been acting.

Then, four large characters appeared above the opponent's head: Advancement Failed!

The verification was successful!
Li Zheng looked in that direction and was surprised to find that the people who had just been verified were actually Yu Xiaoyu and Yuanfei Yuluo.

As the four individuals, despite their different identities, fell off the platform with the same treatment, the remaining people were in an uproar.
