Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.
Chapter 44 Better to Die for Your Fellow Daoist Than for Yourself
Besides the special agent team, there are five other players inside the castle.
Coincidentally, there were some acquaintances among them: the two brothers who were shooting air guns yesterday. In addition to them, there was a disheveled homeless man, a painter, and a civil engineering student.
Everyone except the painter chose to wear mascot costumes.
This isn't about courting death.
Rather, it is to live in the face of death.
It wasn't just Captain Wu; other smart people would also judge the level of danger of a project by observing the difference between the number of tourists entering and exiting.
Aside from the most problematic ring toss game.
Hide-and-seek, shooting air guns, catching goldfish, and bumper cars—these are only four low-risk activities.
But the conditions for escaping the park are five attractions.
So, with only a one in twenty chance of survival, you have to choose one of dancing or dressing up as a doll!
No one can guarantee they'll be the lucky one, so earning game currency to exchange for information on dangerous projects is the only way to survive.
The homeless man was not afraid of dirt and filth, so he chose to hide himself in the garbage dump outside the castle, hoping to drive away the cat monster with the stench of the garbage.
Poor guy, if he had psychic abilities and knew how the lady in the previous round died, he probably wouldn't have done it.
The civil engineering student used his expertise to discover that the second floor had one less area than the first floor. By tapping on the bricks, he successfully found a secret room.
"I knew it! What kind of castle is it if it doesn't have a secret room?!"
The civil engineering students happily locked the door from the inside.
Next up was the painter, who wasn't wearing a mascot costume, so he had a lot of room to express himself.
He first rushed into the art studio on the third floor, found the ink and paint, and completely covered himself in black. Then he sprinkled the remaining ink in the second-floor corridor to ruin the smell. Finally, he found a dormitory room on the second floor, destroyed the light bulb, and hid under the bed.
It's nighttime, there are no lights, and it's pitch black. Who could spot the black man under the bed with the naked eye?
Finally, the two brothers went to the basement, emptied the two barrels, and hid inside.
The older brother hid on the outside, while the younger brother hid on the inside.
The passersby were all experts, and the agents were no exception.
As a Taoist priest, Lin He usually practiced movement techniques and lightness skills, so he jumped directly onto the roof of the castle.
The pastor, a believer in fate, hid under a table in the chapel on the first floor: "No child cries every day, no gambler loses every day. May the Lord protect me from being discovered."
Captain Wu went to the training ground, which was very spacious and therefore the best place for shooting. After seeing that even the lady who had been hiding so well had been caught, he didn't expect to be able to hide until the end.
If we get caught, we'll fight those beasts to the death.
This is his idea.
Finally, Meng Chengcheng analyzed the information she obtained through psychic communication: "Water, smells, and noise—things that cats generally dislike—have no effect on these monster cats."
"And they're also very clever; they know how to use that to catch people."
"Just like the rules say, they're almost as smart as humans."
"But I can also do the opposite. Since the safest places will be searched first, then the most dangerous places will be blind spots!"
Meng Chengcheng chose to hide behind the cat house, but this was only the first step. After the cats came out, she took the opportunity to sneak into the cat house.
During her previous visit, she noticed that the cattery's litter box was as big as a swimming pool, filled with dense litter, enough to bury a person.
As for Chen Feng, no one knows where he is hiding.
At the start of the game, all the cats rushed towards the swimming pool and the bathhouse.
Just as Meng Chengcheng guessed, these monsters were very clever and experienced. Having played the game so many times, they knew exactly where the tourists liked to hide.
But this time, they were destined to be disappointed.
"Twenty-seven minutes left."
Lin He stood atop the castle tower, silently observing how things unfolded.
Despite the unfavorable start, the black cats were not discouraged. Instead, they began a thorough search, poking at wardrobes, boxes, and any place where people might be hiding.
Good luck won't last forever.
Soon, a black cat tried to climb the building.
Although its eyes shone brightly in the darkness, Lin He could still tell from the scratches around its eyelids that this was the "one-eyed dragon" that he had previously blinded but later regained its sight through resurrection.
"What a small world!"
Cats are excellent climbers; this is a fact known to everyone.
Lin He still chose the highest point, not because he was stupid, but to make it easier to observe where the others were hiding.
Once the location is known, this tactic of diverting trouble can be used.
"go!"
Lin He held the coin sword, chanted an incantation, and a beam of sword light shot towards the garbage heap.
boom!
Cats have extremely sensitive hearing. Upon hearing the sound coming from the garbage heap, the one-eyed black cat, which was originally going to climb the stairs, immediately changed direction and headed towards the sound.
Soon, the homeless man hiding in the garbage dump was found.
"No, help!"
The homeless man ran for his life, trying to use the speed boost from the mascot costume to escape.
But strangely enough...
The one-eyed black cat didn't rush to catch the homeless man. Instead, it watched the homeless man run for a while until he was out of breath before suddenly making its move and tearing off one of his legs.
What fast movements!
Even with Lin He's keen eyesight, he only saw a fleeting afterimage, which shows just how powerful these black cats were.
It has the agility of a cat, yet the strength of a lion!
Lin He thought to himself, "If it's one-on-one, I might be able to win, but against ten, I'm doomed."
"This mission is too difficult. Even a B-level agent captain can't protect himself in front of these respawning monsters. I still have a long life ahead of me, and I can't die here."
Thinking of this, Lin He took off the mouse mascot costume.
Even if it's humiliating, he has to live!
"what!"
The homeless man was not quite dead yet; he screamed in agony as he dragged his broken leg across the ground.
The one-eyed black cat, however, used its claws to paw at him like it was playing with a ball, torturing him for a full three minutes before finally giving the homeless man a quick death.
It took about five minutes?
Instead of feeling guilty, Lin He, who witnessed all of this, began to think about who he should harm next.
Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.
From an emotional perspective, one would definitely choose a stranger.
However, from his own safety perspective, the second floor where the painter and construction workers were located was too close to the roof, and making any noise might expose them, while the underground level where the brothers were hiding was too far away for him to attack.
Of course, even if there is no one around, Lin He can release sword light into an empty area and use the sound to lure away the monsters.
But this not only consumes magic power, but also, if done too many times, the cat will stop falling for it.
So after much deliberation, Lin He decided to take drastic measures against his teammates: "Only if others find out will it be shameful. Once they're all dead, I can report it however I want, right?"
Just then, the one-eyed black cat finished dealing with the homeless man and was about to climb the stairs again.
"That bastard Xiao Hu, I wonder where he's hiding."
"So, Pastor, I'm sorry."
"Given your vice-captain's skill level, you could at least stall for ten minutes, right?"
Lin He shot a sword beam towards the chapel, creating a large hole in the ceiling.
Upon hearing the commotion, three black cats nearby rushed into the auditorium.
In an instant, the sounds of cats hissing, tables and chairs clattering, fighting, and the priest's angry curses rang out simultaneously:
"Lin He! You bastard!"
