I am a reincarnation player.

Sakurajima Mai immediately understood that Yuki was moved, and took out the bamboo slips. The boy was a bachelor, so he signed the contract in his own name.

The young man named 'Li Mo'an' promised to tell the truth, and the Yuki team was willing to provide equivalent information.

"We can provide intelligence. You guys should go to various death fighting arenas to investigate. We just happen to have some free intelligence to offer." Li Mo'an touched his nose, and his face turned from playful to grim.

"Including you, there are at least six player teams participating in the dungeon, and now we know there are only three left."

Oh, is it so fast?

Yuki was also a little surprised. He hadn't even seen the other players, but most of them had been eliminated. So he listened carefully to the boy's complaints.

"This damn dungeon is too difficult. No, to be more precise, the combat atmosphere is too intense. It's always a fight to the death. Even if those plot characters are slightly weaker than the player, they can often counterattack. And they have the advantage of the terrain. Standing in that damn arena, either your legs will tremble, or you'll rush in like a fool and fight to the death."

As if he finally had someone to talk to, he kept complaining, and Mai and the others nodded in agreement.

If one has poor psychological quality, he will not be able to exert his full strength due to nervousness. If one has too good psychological quality, he will be easily infected by the fanatical atmosphere. Yuki's original purpose of opening the night domain was to block spiritual erosion.

"All of these characters are melee fighters. You can't defeat them even if you fight hard. The further you go, the harder it gets. If you fight seven or eight times a day, there's no time to recover your strength."

"What if it's a round-robin match?" Hiyori suddenly interrupted.

The boy felt very comfortable with the light voice, and he patiently replied, "Not to mention that the Lone Ranger can't fight in a rotation. The players in each team have their own strength-building direction, so there won't be many people suitable for dealing with that kind of battlefield. And then the prompt 5 is even more deadly."

"If one player is defeated, it is equivalent to the defeat of the entire team. If a player is defeated three times, even if other players did not participate in the battle, the entire team will be wiped out?" Hiyori had already thought of it. This was exactly the key question she was eager to answer.

"That's right, this copy seems free, but in fact it traps the players." The young man sighed, his face full of sadness.

It was obvious that this information was obtained by their companions at the cost of their lives, which made the three people in the car silent. No wonder they were so anxious. They only had one chance to defeat the enemy, otherwise they would all be wiped out.

It is really a place full of hidden dangers. Even in a team of experienced players, there won't be many players suitable for fighting. After fighting several battles a day, even an iron man will be exhausted.

The characters in the story are not fools. They may underestimate the enemy at the beginning, and they will not accept group fights later. Basically, they are one-on-one or two-on-two. The problem is back to the starting point:

Aren’t the ones who are going to fight the same few professional players?

"My suspicions were confirmed. If many seeds could reach the level of warriors, the Cult would have intervened long ago, instead of just talking nonsense."

Yuuki continued to listen while thinking. Perhaps to show his willingness to cooperate, the boy also gave him an important piece of information:

The deathmatch rules apply to the entire city, including battles between players and passers-by. Once the deathmatch begins, teammates cannot interfere.

"You're saying that a team of players escaped the arena and tried to hide, but ended up getting into a fight with passersby. Because their teammates forcibly intervened in the fight, they were punished by the game?"

The young man looked back in surprise. The man who had just been sitting on the bench had come to the side of the car without him noticing. The distance between them was getting closer, making him feel a huge sense of oppression.

A monster, just like Big Brother Zhang, who took charge of all the battles.

He instinctively moved back and answered honestly, "Yes, our entire team was attacked by people from the entire street, so it was dangerous for us to fight alone, but being surrounded and attacked was equivalent to a dead end."

This is true. The combat effectiveness of the citizens is obvious to all. Even if the player can crush a few of them and defeat dozens of them, it is impossible to survive being attacked by hundreds of people.

As we have seen and heard along the way, there are only a few people who started the war, and most people are fanning the flames. If those who fan the flames are allowed to roll up their sleeves and fight, the situation will definitely be bad.

So tip 4 is both a restriction and a protection?

Yuki is no stranger to this. This is just like the elevator in the Devil's Hospital. The rules restrict both parties and also protect the players.

They exchanged a glance, each a little frightened. They thanked themselves for having learned the essence of 'Going Slow' and not blindly trying. Looking at the heavy traffic outside, with hundreds of people on the street, Yuki was likely to be beaten to death.

In other words, if you follow the rules of Tip 4, you won't be ganged up on. It's a bit like triggering a random mission, and the deathmatch is conducted on a round-by-round basis.

Unfortunately, I was not alone this time, and Hiyori and the senior did not have much fighting power.

Yuuki's mind raced through many thoughts before returning to the topic: "How did you know this information? And how do you know there are only three groups of players left?"

With the feeling of oppression, all eyes are focused on the young man. The truth does not mean the real thing. Don't analyze it for a long time and be misled by the story made up by others.

Li Mo'an didn't show any fear, but instead puffed out his chest and said, "Because of Brother Zhang's reputation, we did our best to contact the other players after entering the dungeon, and prepared to unite and conquer the dungeon."

We found five groups of players in two days. This efficiency is quite good. I didn’t expect that reputation could be used in this way.

Yuki nodded silently, just like he was interested when the boy mentioned the name of Double-Gun Zhang just now. Brother Zhang has been cultivating his reputation. At least he is quite famous in the player forum, and not as notorious as the "Artist" and the like.

Is this considered a mainstream player? Unfortunately, I can't learn it.

Being able to play this style of play must be fearless in real life, not afraid of enemies coming to find the door. If Yuki wants to unite other players based on reputation alone, people will only ask:

Who do you want to play?

"But that Brother Zhang still couldn't save the players."

"There's nothing I can do. Hint 4 is here, so even if Brother Zhang wants to help, there's nothing I can do." Li Mo'an chuckled and said gloomily, "Deathmatch is on, and anyone who intervenes will be punished. Players can't enter other deathmatch arenas to help. It's good enough that we can exchange information. Let me be frank."

He kept looking at his watch. It was obvious that this communication time was also delayed by Brother Zhang at the risk of his life. He had no time to talk nonsense with Yuki.

"According to the player teams we've contacted, those who stray from the plot will surely die, either being worn down by passersby or being eliminated by the cult. If they want a dignified exit, they can only rely on the power of us players, but..."

"But there's only one group of players in a Death Arena. It's impossible for them to meet in the arena unless they cross the Death Arena's boundaries." Yuki finished his words for him, returning the favor.

"Tell Zhang Shuangqiang that his guess about hint 5 is correct. Becoming a hero will allow you to transcend the Death Arena and gain lasting respect. And I've verified that this respect will not be reduced by losing the title."

This is it!

Excitement was almost written all over Li Mo'an's face. He took the risk of getting something for free just to wait for this information.

It is useless to just withdraw. If you want to move around in this city full of powder kegs, you must have "respect" and exclude a large number of citizens, otherwise you will not be able to move forward.

No one is a fool. Everyone has figured out what the cult wants to do, and the defeated players have no value in existence and will definitely be eliminated.

"Honesty?"

"Of course. After all, I'm a warrior now and can get more information."

"I see. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare take the risk of being taken advantage of." The young man smiled cunningly and held out his hand. "We can only cooperate with you. Don't worry, as long as you get out of the plot and go into the dark, our team will definitely be able to help."

Yuki glanced at his hand but didn't shake it. Whether he was offering any help remained to be seen, but he wouldn't let anyone take advantage of him for nothing.

To become a champion and destroy secrets, Zhang with Two Guns obviously gave up the first main line, and the second main line is not just about finding a place to hide. How can they return without completing the main line task?

"One last question, why don't you go find the third group of players?"

"Then why don't you go find a third group of players?"

"That's Adam, a notorious lunatic." Li Mo'an was about to withdraw his hand with a wry smile when he suddenly looked up: "Huh, you don't know him?"

Yuki really didn't know him and didn't have time to collect information in reality. He just suspected that the "Adam" on the big screen was a player, but looking at the boy's expression, he knew there was no need to doubt it.

Adam, this is the second time I hear this name.

He still remembered the solemn expression of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and seeing that this knowledgeable young man looked very scared, he immediately understood why Zhang Shuangqiang did not choose the first path.

At first I thought it was a coincidence, then I thought it was quite normal.

Ayanokouji had reminded Yuuki that Hiruzen was looking for him, and it was no coincidence at all.

Adam?

Yuki looked up and saw a picture appear on the giant screen across the street. It was a bald man with dark skin, strong muscles, and wearing a blood-red fang mask.

The painting style was exactly the same as this copy, but the line of small words below made his pupils shrink slightly.

Number of wins: 98.

This isn't shocking at all; it's clearly a problem with the screen. Even if Yuki is taking shortcuts and deliberately trying to make people uninterested, a normal player can only play 20 to 30 games in two days.

How the hell did he get 98 games? All the fighters in Deathmatch IV combined don’t have that many. And why is he the only one who can appear on the big screen?

Yuki instantly felt a deep threat, his mind worked rapidly, and he raised his hand to point at the screen opposite.

"I agree to cooperate, but first you have to talk to me about this Adam."

Chapter 4: Really Simple Folk Customs (K)

With the roar of the engine, the red car drove away. After receiving the intention of cooperation, Li Mo'an immediately went back to report.

Yuki stood in the middle of the road, and the traffic automatically separated to both sides. Obviously, this was the city's highest respect for the warriors, but he had no intention of enjoying it, as his brain was filled with a huge amount of information.

It is normal for Zhang Shuangqiang to seek cooperation. He is under greater pressure than Yuki and is fighting hard in the Death Arena No. 2.

There were too many warriors interested in him. After playing nearly 30 games in two days, he was already exhausted, but he had to keep fighting. At least he had to become a warrior to be qualified to carry out the subsequent plan.

"I thought Ayanokouji was exaggerating, but it turns out he saved some adjectives." Yuuki gave a wry smile. Just hearing the description always felt empty, but now he had a reference.

The 'Pure White Warrior' who was also very famous on the forum died at his hands. He was a veteran player, almost on par with 'Artist' and others. The key was the way he was killed.

Zhang with Two Guns and the Pure White Warriors are old friends. The two teams established contact when they entered the dungeon. However, before they could join forces to push the dungeon, the Pure White Warriors were wiped out by Adam who broke in.

"That's not right. I guess there should be only one group of players in each death arena. How did they meet?" Shiina Hiyori was analyzing the information and looked up with a confused look on his face.

After being reminded of this, Yuki was a little confused. The reincarnation game has a certain pattern to follow, and there are probably eight groups of players in the eight death arenas.

"Unless he didn't go where he was supposed to go, we were also taken there by Abate." Hayasaka Ai was a little uncertain at the side of the car.

Hiyori thought seriously for a few seconds and immediately shook her head: "This is impossible. The death arena has been arranged and cannot be refused, unless..."

"Unless he doesn't follow the guidance at all and kills the guide." Yuki finished her words for her, and then his face was expressionless, but his eyes were twitching.

There is actually a solution like killing the guide and moving freely?

Yuuki had actually thought about it at first, but he was cautious by nature and was afraid that this would attract the hostility of the cult. The bloody disaster was much more powerful than the authorities being confused. Just these citizens on the street were enough to make the players suffer.

Who in their right mind would dare to attack the cult right after entering the dungeon? Doesn't this guy even analyze the prompts?

"I suddenly understand why he's a madman. This has nothing to do with courage. Adam is hoping to be hunted by the entire dungeon so he can kill people and shed blood."

Yuki's words shocked everyone. Although they had participated in many dungeons, this was the first time they had encountered such a player.

It's incomprehensible and unreasonable. While a normal person is still analyzing the clues word by word, he has already taken action. It's a typical example of his hands being faster than his brain.

"A pure madman. Even without a deathmatch, he would kill all the players. No wonder Zhang the Double Gun wants to cooperate." Hiyori muttered to herself. Adam was the exact opposite of her. It was an eye-opener. She said a little depressedly:

"But he accidentally did the right thing. Judging from the reaction of the cult, not only did they not hold him responsible, they actually respected him."

Of course, how could a person who was being hunted appear on the big screen and be thanked for killing members of the cult? This copy was really absurd.

"This could be considered a hidden strategy. We were all concerned about Hint 6, but Adam did the opposite. From what I've seen, it's not a bad idea."

Yuki is deeply involved in the plot. The core here is killing and glory. As long as you are strong enough and kill people who are convinced, you will only be cheered.

"So, there are two sets of rules in this copy." Rihe interrupted with some excitement. The information exchanged by Li Mo'an was very important. At least it saved a lot of time.

"The rules of the game, and the rules of the cult?"

"Well, the rules of the game cannot be violated. They bind players and plot characters, just like the group of players who were beaten to death, and the 'respect' we receive." Hiyori stuck her head out of the car window, her azure eyes sparkling.

"But the cult's rules are different. It's more like using force to force players to follow the script they set."

Just like the unbridled Adam, just like Yuuki's unique fighting style, just like the flexible red line, just like the rule that players are not allowed to go to other deathmatches, she and senior sister Mai were stopped by the guards, not bounced back by some air wall.

All signs can verify the answer, just like the old saying:

Rules are dead, people are alive.

"I have to make them reluctant to kill me. The more important I am, the more flexible their rules will be." Yuki grasped the key point and also had an idea on how to enhance his own value.

Continue to participate in the plot and keep fighting. The fewer Warriors there are, the more valuable he is. Zhang's plan of double guns is also an assist.

Players are important, right? If the third group of players is no longer qualified to become the champion, there will only be two groups left to choose from.

"But what about Adam?" Mai said, her face full of worry, pointing across the street. "In the Warriors' Battle, we'll assign you Adam for the first match. Can you beat him?"

"We're probably going to lose, but the chances are slim." Yuuki waved his hand. He had disgusted the cult, so how could he just walk away? "You don't start a fight right away. Remember my deduction with Hiyori?"

The two of them deduced many things, but there was one thing that was relevant to the current situation, and it was becoming more and more likely.

Adam is undoubtedly the protagonist in this instance, while Yuuki is the villain. Since the cult's rituals require a fanatical atmosphere, there's a shortcut:

Let Adam and Yuuki meet in the final battle, allowing the emotions that have been suppressed for a long time to burst out completely.

A most likable warrior, a hidden conspirator who makes the audience sick, and even better, both of them are players. There is no better script than this.

"There's one more crucial point. Everyone, think carefully about it." Yuuki thought about himself and then about the team. "The cult wouldn't be completely unaware of why you didn't take any hostile actions."

The cult just acts in an absurd way, they are not mentally retarded, and they certainly are not ignorant.

In fact, Mai was also constantly testing the bottom line. At the beginning, she was very cautious, fearing that she would be followed or something. Later, she simply approached the guards openly.

Logically speaking, what they did was detrimental to the cult, and if they dug up any more intelligence, it would be too late to stop them.

But up to now, the cult has not even mentioned it, let alone taken any action to stop it.

"Didn't you make up a rhyme? Something like the hospitable Yaduo Town and the simple-minded Xueguang City." The senior student asked back with a smile. She wanted to laugh every time she read it.

Yuki couldn't laugh, and shook his head, saying, "That's the result. I want to know why the people are so simple and honest."

"Are you so confident? No matter how hard we try, we won't be able to find the ultimate secret anyway?" Kaguya asked tentatively, remembering the ways of the king and tyrant in the book.
