I am a reincarnation player.

"There are eight groups of seeds, and now there are only three left." Elke blocked all the questions with just one sentence. There is no such thing as match-fixing in this world. There are too few players who can reach the level of "Warriors".

"But this Kevin broke the rules, so he's useless." Abate didn't quite understand the above idea. He would have punished him physically before, so why would he use verbal warnings?

"Who said it's useless?" Elke looked at him coldly, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Have you ever heard of the saying 'to praise first, then to criticize'? Even with such a completely opposite style, the Apostle is still useful."

"But the rules..."

"This is an order. If you don't obey, challenge the Apostle. If you win, you will be the new rule."

Wearing a golden mask, he exudes a strong murderous intent. There is no explanation within the cult, and no objection to questioning.

But that will have to be argued with sword and blood.

.........

"They were chatting outside the door, but I couldn't hear what they were talking about."

Hayasaka Ai has been standing silently behind Yuuki, with a look of regret in her eyes.

"What's so good about it? It's just about how to use me." Yuki was single, supporting his head with a faint smile on his lips.

He was afraid that the people from the cult wouldn't come. You see, after a conversation, he gained a lot of important information.

"This dungeon has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Not to mention the warriors, even the citizen players alone can't handle it. But—" Yuki pointed at the gate and nodded his head.

"They have a problem here. It's so easy to trick them."

It's okay for you to call someone a retard right after they leave.

Hayasaka Ai was also amused, and it took her two seconds to regain her seriousness: "Well, it's not that they are stupid, it's just that, uh..."

"A bunch of straight men, all they have in their heads is fighting and killing. If it were me, I would have tied up the seniors long ago. They don't need a red string. If they don't obey, I will kill them. Hey, I was just kidding. Why are you standing so far away?"

Yuki realized that while he was talking, Hayasaka Ai had already run three meters away, so he quickly called her back.

"Alright, alright. Thanks to Elke, I've figured out two key pieces of information." Yuki held up two fingers, his cold demeanor returning to normal.

"First, the other players aren't in good shape. This is probably related to the difficulty of the dungeon. If I had followed the script, I'd probably be out of my mind by now."

"Secondly, players play an important role in this dungeon, one might even say indispensable. Since I'm both a player and a 'warrior', my potential value is quite significant."

Hayasaka Ai nodded repeatedly. She had also heard it. As an observer, she even thought about it a little more: "It seems that the cult is not so opposed to your fighting style anymore. Why is that?"

"Because you have to suppress first before you can promote. If I can move forward a few more steps and someone else finishes me off, the scene will definitely be crazy." Yuki crossed his legs and said firmly.

The more you suppress it, the crazier it will explode.

After the battle with the Bull Demon, Hayasaka Ai also experienced it personally. Why such a fanatical atmosphere should be created and what role the audience plays are still unknown, but she knows.

Isn't that kind of almost insane atmosphere what the cult is pursuing?

"So we—"

"Since we have such a rare commodity, we might as well make the most of it." Yuki stood up with the help of the armrest and straightened the collar of his shirt.

"Try to test their bottom line."

......

As the plot deepens, more and more clues emerge like mushrooms after rain.

The 'respect' that Elke mentioned was genuine. After being tested by Miss Kaguya herself, their team was no longer unable to move forward even in a non-combat state.

But this 'respect' is ridiculous.

In the death arena, although Yuuki is hated by everyone, at least everyone hopes for his death. However, in the city, Mai and others can move freely, which proves the inference of Yuuki and Hiyori's "roles".

The audience and the citizens play different roles, and although they are only separated by a wall, they are clearly distinguished.

"But we can't enter other deathmatch arenas and can't connect with other player teams."

Shiina Hiyori sat in the car in distress, supporting her chin with her hands.

The cult guards refused entry to any player. The senior student tried to sneak in, but the passage was too narrow and the guards were too close. After weighing the risks, she retreated.

Hiyori tried the Void Puppet, but there was not enough time and there was no program in the Death Arena. The information she got from just listening in the corridor was really limited.

The audience will only cheer and roar, the only difference is that sometimes it is loud and sometimes it is small.

Due to the problem of combat effectiveness, they did not think of breaking in by force.

"Thank you for your hard work. At least we know that Adam is in Death Arena No. VIII, and he does have a problem." Mai patted the girl's back gently. She knew that it was painful to have the five senses split for a long time, and Hiyori had already taken several comfort pills.

They spent half a day visiting five death arenas before finding Adam at VIII. They didn't need any plans; they could hear the roar of the sea as soon as they entered the gate.

"Adam! Adam! Adam!"

This is the exact opposite of Yuuki, and it can be said that he is fanatical to the extreme.

Didn't they say that after becoming a warrior, no one would challenge him? Could it be that this Adam hadn't been promoted to a warrior yet?

Also, whether he is a player or a plot character with the same name, forcing contact is too risky, so we can only rely on guessing.

Mai lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked inside the car.

Kaguya in the back seat was withdrawn, muttering to herself, "Why is it always me?"; Hiyori next to her was forcing herself to look at the bustling street, her eyes bloodshot.

"Everyone is very tired, do you want to take a break?"

Of course they were tired. They had just left the raging sea and immediately entered this strange blood-red city.

"Senior, I've noticed that the frequency of street fighting seems to be increasing. This isn't a good sign," Hiyori said without blinking. Only she could compile such big data. "There's also a red car, and the driver is secretly observing us."

Mai was interested in the first half of the sentence, but was stunned when she heard the second half. However, she knew that she must not turn her head to look at this time.

She glanced behind her and saw that Kaguya, who had been muttering to herself, had sat up at some point, an arrow in her hand.

"That shouldn't be the case. There has never been any sign of surveillance in this copy, including going to those black buildings where you won't be tracked." Mai was puzzled.

"That's right. The people in this dungeon are too devoted to violence. They're not afraid of our prying eyes. We have to force our way through important places anyway." Hiyori glanced at the rearview mirror every few seconds and whispered, "This guy is rather thin, and his eyes aren't fierce. His features aren't clear, so he's probably in disguise."

"That's the player who saw through hint 5." Mai lowered her voice, a hint of excitement in her voice.

She made two preparations this time. Since she couldn't enter the death arena, why not wait for others to come to her?

Any player with a little bit of common sense should know that the championship is not worth competing for.

"That car is coming." Kaguya reminded in a low voice, and the red car really drove over.

It crossed the entire street, and the angry traffic stopped one after another, which was obviously a form of 'respect'.

After confirming that it was undoubtedly a player, Mai reached out and pressed down the longbow in Kaguya's hand: "Don't worry, we don't know yet whether the deathmatch rules will be effective between players."

Kaguya immediately put down her bow. The deathmatch could not be interfered with, and she didn't want to fight a stranger in a one-on-one duel.

It was definitely too late to drive away, but the three people in the car did not panic and just waited for the red car to drive over.

As Rihe had observed, there was only a young man in the car. He was not strong, had a bun on his head, and wore black sunglasses on his face.

The windows of both cars rolled down at the same time. The young man turned his head and looked over, slightly curious, and asked, "When did you find out I was following you?"

His tone was relaxed, and it was obvious that he had some brains.

"Even though you changed three cars, you didn't disguise your face. You really underestimated us." Hiyori replied with a smile, which made the boy feel depressed.

How could I underestimate it? With such heavy traffic, it's impossible for a normal player to detect the abnormality of a certain driver.

"Observation-type extraordinary skills?"

How could Shiina Hiyori possibly tell him? She gave him a polite smile and sketched out a character model in her mind:

He is extrovert, mentally normal and fearless.

The boy was not annoyed. He lowered his head slightly, lowered his sunglasses, and glanced inside the car with his black eyes, his eyes becoming amazed.

Coming to this ghost place full of muscular guys, he actually saw three beautiful girls sitting in a car. Even though there were props interfering, his intuition told him that these three girls were definitely very beautiful.

In addition, his intuition also told him that these three people posed no threat.

"Why don't you three run?"

"Why are you running?" Mai asked back, appearing calm and composed.

Of course, your combat power is not strong enough, and you seem out of place in this dungeon.

The boy wanted to answer like this, his ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head quickly.

Ten meters away on the street, a man was sitting on a bench, leaning forward, flicking and closing the long knife in his hand, with a tinkling sound.

He didn't say anything, didn't stand up, and when he noticed the boy's gaze, he just raised his head slightly and gave him a polite smile.

Gulu.

The boy swallowed his saliva, and his intuition quickly brought back the result:

Deadly threat.

Chapter 4: Double Gun Zhang (K)

The reason why Mai Sakurajima and others did not escape is obvious.

Yuuki sat quietly not far away, keeping an eye on them silently to avoid any hostile actions from some brainless players.

There was no connection between the two parties beforehand, so there was no cause and effect, so the boy had no chance to notice at all.

Real fishing is about communicating with the bait. Sakurajima Mai never thought of escaping from the beginning.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked with a smile, just like she did at the beginning.

The boy immediately put away his desire to perform. He could use his special ability to sense whether he was discovered, but a few seconds ago, he didn't feel threatened at all.

Coincidence? They didn't even know their companions were catching up?

This could only be explained by coincidence. The boy's smile turned ugly: "Uh, can I say I was just passing by?"

"Okay, but you have to tell him." Mai pointed to Yuuki not far away. She had already discovered that the young man was not hostile.

If there was, he wouldn't even be able to get to him.

"No need for that. It's just a small matter, perfect for a younger brother like us to discuss."

The young man was straightforward and mentioned in passing that there was someone behind him, but he found that this was useless.

The man heard it, but his cold eyes did not change at all. At least at this moment, no matter how strong the person behind him was, he could not save him.

I was careless. Fortunately, these women are not that strong. If he really kills me, we will have the same chance of revenge.

In the "Blood Disaster", Sakurajima Mai and others are undoubtedly weaknesses, but it is precisely because of their weaknesses that the young man dared to show up.

As Yuuki speculated, there was more than one player team in the copy. The team the boy belonged to also discovered the secret of Hint 5 and used various methods to collect information.

Since he didn't have Hiyori's observation ability, the boy mainly wandered around the streets, using his characteristics to identify the presence of players, and then he actually found them.

"With his intuition, he dared to approach the seniors so carelessly. He must have found them to be no threat at all."

Yuki did not participate in the conversation, but only listened to the entire process using the communicator Lingzi communicator.

It has been two days since I entered the dungeon, and this is the first other player I have encountered.

The boy's purpose was simple, which was to seek cooperation and exchange information. He had obviously discovered that the championship was not something he could win, and of course he was also trying it out, but this test hit a wall.

Mai was in charge of the conversation, while Hiyori observed the details of the expression and occasionally asked a couple of tricky questions, and Kaguya continued to act like an ice sculpture, giving people constant mental pressure.

It was too difficult for this kind of combination to beat around the bush, and after a few rounds the boy became frank. Yuki listened carefully and was intrigued by several things.

Is there 'Double Gun Zhang' behind him?

It is a common tactic to remind the people behind you to weaken your presence, just like the people in the "Daytime" group do not hide their identities when they are in danger, which is to remind other players that "if you touch me, you will pay the price."

Since they were in the same dungeon, there was almost no possibility of bragging. Yuki had never seen this player, but the latter was the kind of person who had made a name for himself on the forum.

As a veteran player, his strength must be quite strong. Tyrant once worked with him and even joked that he was cosplaying.

Yuuki used to not really understand why he needed something as useless as 'reputation', but now he thinks it does make sense.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. If the senior student calls out my name, it will not be intimidating at all.

Brother Zhang realized that there was a problem with continuing the killing, but he was being roasted on the fire and had no choice but to fight on. He keenly discovered how to use hint 5.

The characters in the story will never accept defeat, and the only concept in their minds is "win or die".

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the chance of defeat can only be effective between players. By signing a contract, you can ensure that you can leave the plot with dignity.

As for how the cult would react if they were defeated but not killed, the boy did not reveal it, but Yuuki guessed that this team of players had some kind of concealment item that allowed them to hide.

"Senior, use the Fengtu Contract to make him tell the truth, and then ask him what I can get if I agree to cooperate."
