I am a reincarnation player.

"It fits the character's personality traits, but it's incomplete." Yuki stroked his chin and hesitated, "The second main plot is too vague and needs to be verified. If the world is destroyed, will we have to experience it again?"

"Perhaps it's because of the first half of hint 5. From the analysis just now, Mr. Yuki is very useful, and the cult is unwilling to exclude you." Hiyori thought. As a strategy player, she pays more attention to game hints.

[Tip 5: Players who lose three times will be eliminated]

According to the information provided by Li Mo'an, if you kill three players in the same team, you will be eliminated even if you do nothing.

Yuki's eyes flickered as he whispered, "Go on."

"This also needs to be combined with hint 4, our initial guess, and what we've seen along the way. The people in this dungeon won't hold back. The only way to solve problems is to kill. So, they can't do anything to us?"

With a gentle tone, everyone returned to the questions raised during yesterday's summary, and today there was also information from other players.

There is no way to win this dungeon. Players can either die or fight. These are the only two options.

So the cult is just a bunch of diodes. It’s not that they don’t know what the seniors and others are doing, but they can’t do anything about them?

The only way to stop them is to kill them. If they die, I will die too. But the cult thinks I'm useful and doesn't want me to die, so they can't do anything to them?

A slightly absurd logical formation would be a joke in a normal world, but this world is not normal.

So that’s it. It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I can’t.

"Combined with Kaguya's assessment, the probability is as high as 5%." If so many people weren't watching, Yuuki would have wanted to rub the little genius Hiyori's face. "But don't let your guard down. Hint has redundancy. If you go too far, the cult might take action against one of you."

"I'll control the timing, so we won't seek death." Mai took over the conversation. She was also the team leader.

"I trust you to do the job." Yuki quickly flattered her, making her smile so happy that she became a little serious.

If that was the case, there was nothing much to say. He would not admire the simplicity of the cult. As an old shaman...

I only bully honest people!

"Hayasaka, follow up with Zhang the Twin Spears. If he becomes a warrior, challenge him immediately."

"Me? You mean Hint 1?"

[Hint 1: This is a world of deathmatch, players will participate in deathmatch as individual teams]

"Yes, you are also a member of the team. The reincarnation game never said that two warriors must face each other directly. Remember what Elke said?"

Warriors can compete within their own team, let alone between two player teams.

"I'll try." Hayasaka Ai nodded immediately. As for how to enter other death arenas?

Just have Zhang with Two Guns come to the door and accept the challenge, and you can also test whether the cult can intervene in the deathmatch.

"Seniors, you guys take this opportunity to investigate the black building. I'll try to lure that red figure away from the mountain. But be careful, we can't be sure how many of these people there are."

"Well, I will protect Hiyori."

"Kaguya, go test your guess about the deathmatch time limit." Yuuki pointed to another person and raised his hand to stop Kaguya's protest. "Don't complain, your ability is best suited to stalling for time. Senior, lend her the singer's white veil again. Remember, you must leave your deathmatch opponent with hope of victory, otherwise they will self-destruct in a matter of minutes."

Hey, this is harder than killing someone.

The black-haired girl moved her mouth, but seeing Hayasaka's encouraging eyes, she didn't say it out loud after all. However, she didn't know that Yuki's idea came from the maid's recommendation.

Shiina Hiyori looked at the man who was giving orders and knew that he was hiding something.

If the cult arranges it this way, it will definitely ensure that Adam will win. The seemingly simplest battle scenario actually has the greatest risk.

"Mr. Yuki, out of the eight groups of players, only three remain in two days. Do you think this level of difficulty is a problem?"

Yuki, who was giving orders, choked and instinctively looked at Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai. The three of them looked at each other and spread their hands helplessly.

"When you team up with this idiot, you'll always receive special treatment. Hiyori, are you scared?" Mai went to comfort him, but didn't see any fear on his face.

"I just think the taste is wrong. It's not that difficult to be like 'Devil's Hospital'."

"Don't overthink it. At least we're doing OK so far. That cult is all stubborn. I like straightforward guys like that." Yuuki patted Hiyori's shoulder gently, narrowing his eyes. "At least I haven't smelled the 'Bloodthirsty Red Moon' yet."

"What does the bloodthirsty red moon taste like?" Kaguya interrupted. She was very curious, but Hayasaka didn't want to explain in detail. She only knew that it was difficult.

Yuuki glanced at Kaguya, and the smiling young lady felt uneasy.

"It feels like you're plotting to kill me."

......

"Adam has killed all the warriors at Altar VIII."

At the same time, in an airtight room, a man in a golden mask was reporting.

The hall, covering several thousand square meters, was flashing with blood-red light. There were no recognizable furniture, only densely packed skulls.

The walls were covered with skulls, and the ground was piled high with skulls. There was no floor to be seen at all. The man seemed to be standing on a mountain of skulls, and all he could see was pale white.

There was a hint of blood-red mixed in with the paleness, which was a pile of heads that had just been chopped off and were still bloody.

And at the top of the 'mountain', the red figure was standing quietly, and after hearing the report, he was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.

"This may be the most convincing warrior in history. I have never seen such a suitable seed."

It is indeed enjoyable. The usual practice is that players go from weak to strong and defeat the strongest warrior to pass the level. As for how many games to play, it depends on the player's combat characteristics.

Generally speaking, 20-30 sessions are sufficient if arranged by the religious order only.

But Adam was different. He really accepted everyone who came and aroused the fighting spirit of the entire altar to the extreme.

"This is the most suitable seed. According to the original plan, the demon should have the final battle with him. And this time, we have encountered the most unsuitable seed." The apostle's voice became more joyful, making the entire Skull Mountain tremble.

"This is God's blessing. With these two completely opposite seeds, we will surely be able to set off the most magnificent blood tide."

These words excited the man in the red suit. What weapons would produce the brightest sparks when they collided? Of course, it would be the sharpest spear and the strongest shield.

They didn't understand the theory of contradiction, but they knew this was a good opportunity.

The emotions suppressed to the extreme were ignited by the most glorious person himself. Just thinking about that scene is exciting.

"But that Kevin won't necessarily make it to the end."

"That's fate. The Warriors will only fight with all their might and won't let up." The red figure never thought about match-fixing or anything like that.

"But Adam doesn't guarantee victory. If he loses, all our planning will be in vain."

"This is just an attempt." The apostle waved his hand, the flames in his eyes dancing wildly, as if he hated this kind of trouble and might as well jump out and kill Kevin and Adam.

But in the end, he forced himself to endure, as if he had made a huge decision: "Of course, he'd better win. I will provide all the help I can. If he loses, even if there is a chance to start a bloodbath, the price will be heavy."

Just as Yuki had expected, the people in the copy were too simple, or rather, too straightforward, and had no intention of coercion or kidnapping at all.

"How about this, let's assign 'Golden Skull' to be his opponent in the first Warrior Battle." The apostle thought for a moment and made a decision.

"I at least need to know how strong this Kevin is."

Chapter 17: Kill, or endure?

"Your next battle opponent has been selected."

A few hours later, Abate came hurriedly into the lounge, speaking while wiping the blood with a handkerchief.

"Who?" Yuki sat up a little straighter.

"Golden Skull, a very strong opponent, definitely very excited, right? Oh no, I forgot you wouldn't be excited."

It wasn't Adam after all.

Yuki was obviously relieved. If the opponent was Adam, it would prove that the cult simply wanted to kill him, and his previous speculation was just wishful thinking.

Since it's not, it's interesting.

"You killed someone again?"

"It's all because of you that I'm being laughed at by my colleagues." Abate wiped his hands and said nonchalantly, "I challenged him and defeated him. It should be quiet for a while. By the way, when will you die? It's really hard for me to do this."

Damn, this is the first time someone has asked me this question to my face.

Yuki was speechless. Everyone in this copy was stubborn, but fortunately they were "above board". Abate was unhappy but still did his job conscientiously.

And why use defeat?

"You didn't kill him? Because you didn't want to or couldn't?" Yuki's eyes flickered.

"It's none of your business." Abate was stunned for a moment and didn't answer.

Can't members of the sect kill each other? Why?

Yuki noted this clue and changed the subject before Abate could become alert: "What is the origin of this golden skull?"

"The warriors of Death Arena I."

"What about being more specific?"

"You want to get information from me?" Abate raised his head, his expression full of sarcasm. "That's impossible. You can only test your opponent's strength yourself. I even want him to kill you."

Of course Yuki knew it was impossible. The seniors couldn't even enter the death arena, obviously seeking "fairness".

"Can I choose where to play?"

"Both I and IV are fine. Wait, are you..."

"I choose number I, just like I can't refuse your arrangement, it's my legitimate right." Yuuki smiled, making Abate grit his teeth.

He turned the IV Death Arena into a library, and everyone has gotten used to it. He was trying to disgust other audiences. I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking, but they didn't kill this bastard.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Abate stood up depressedly, but was stopped just as he was about to leave.

"We've been together for several days, so we're pretty familiar with each other."

"Getting close? Trying to extract information from me is wishful thinking. If you want to be my friend, please die first."

The man talked a lot, leaving Yuki speechless again. He didn't dislike this kind of straightforwardness, at least he was more reliable than those who were sweet-mouthed but had a sharp tongue.

"I never thought of making friends with you, I just wanted to ask why you were born?"

The question was a profound philosophical one, so Abate simply replied, "First, tell me why you fight. You are obviously very strong, but you don't fight for glory."

"To survive."

"And then, just to survive?"

"It's a better way to live. Power is just a tool." Yuki did not lie. The entire reincarnation game was just a tool for him.

Abate had a strange expression on his face. He could tell what was true and what was false, but he just couldn't understand it.

Power is indeed a tool, but it is a tool to gain glory.

"I was born for glory," he answered decisively.

"Isn't that killing?"

"It's similar to what you think. Strength is a tool for killing, and killing exists for the sake of glory. This is a truth deeply rooted in every warrior." Abate said this with a sense of holiness. Seeing Yuki's expression, he frowned immediately.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think it's so comfortable to trample on glory?"

"You're overthinking it. I've never intentionally trampled on Glory because I don't care about the audience's cheers." Yuki crossed his fingers and said instinctively without thinking:

"If there really is someone who is watching everything, perhaps He wouldn't care about glory at all."

"Killing in its purest form is simple. Who cares what caused the war or where the blood came from?"

The test was a bit too much, Yuuki said, and glanced at Abate out of the corner of his eye.

The guide lowered his head, as if he was lost in thought, lost in the philosophical questions of killing and glory, and did not question Yuki about where he knew of the existence of 'Him'.

"Where did the war begin? Where did the blood come from? Your explanation is quite interesting."

"Oh? Were there no death matches and no spectators before?" Yuki's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he keenly captured the change in emotions.

"I told you, don't try to get any information out of me." Abate didn't respond. He just stood up and turned away, pausing at the door. "But what you said makes sense. It doesn't seem so annoying anymore."

thump.

The door closed and he left again. Hayasaka Ai, who had been observing silently from the side, frowned suddenly.

On the one hand, I feel that Abate seems a bit tsundere, but on the other hand, I find that Yuki has gained something.

"You mean, these rules in the dungeon have nothing to do with the mastermind?"

She had learned in detail about 'those in the know are often confused' and knew about the existence of transcendent copies, and Yuki had confirmed from the eight pillars that He was not a myth.

"It should be, but this copy is different from 'Those in the know are confused'. The evil god of Yaduo Town did give clear instructions." Yuki answered hesitantly.

"You mean, creating such a large number of them wasn't the idea of ​​the person behind it?"

"I can only say it's a guess. The rules of this dungeon are too rigid. Everything is designed to stir up the emotions of the characters. Oh, and Hiyori just happened to find three clues."
