I am a reincarnation player.

This does liven up the atmosphere, but the haste is hard to hide.

There were members of the cult standing across the street, three black and one red. They were guarding here and not letting the players out, and Yuki had no intention of forcing his way in.

Ironically, it is the apostles who are responsible for ensuring their own safety. They require players to attend tomorrow's ceremony at the specified time. Any unusual movement will challenge their already limited patience.

Yuki glanced at them, left the door open, went back into the house, and pointed towards the street.

"They seem anxious?"

"Indeed, they even took us away from the death arena and back to the original lounge, as if they were avoiding something." Hiyori pursed her lips and subconsciously played with her gray-blue hair.

"I suspect something went wrong with Adam. Now both you and he are key figures. And judging by Adam's behavior, he doesn't seem like he'd be able to wait patiently until tomorrow."

"Adam is indeed difficult to control, but neither he nor I can die, so we can only speed up." Yuki nodded slightly. This speculation made sense.

The current situation is simple:

24 hours later, Yuki will face Adam in a decisive battle. Using his own life to ignite the audience's emotions, this frenzy will trigger a chain reaction, activating the city and this instance to fulfill the apostle's wish.

This is not good news. According to Yuki's original plan, the standoff should last for two or three days.

Zhang is in the dark while he is in the light. Together they work together to do some cool moves and add more chips to their chances of victory.

It seems that there is no chance now. Those black cars whizzing past on the road are obviously going to surround and kill Zhang with Two Guns. He will definitely not last until that time.

"New news, Mr. Zhang has confirmed that the members of the cult must also follow Tip 4." Hayasaka Ai walked over quickly, with a spiritual particle communicator in the other person's hand, and she was responsible for the contact.

"How to abide by the law?" Yuki was very interested. Zhang with two guns was responsible for breaking the rules and exploring the way.

"After the battle began, several groups of cult members engaged him in turn, following a similar pattern to a random dungeon."

Random dungeons? That would be calculated by the number of rounds, but in this way, wouldn't he be able to use a bug to delay time?

Yuki hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. It was impossible to delay. Not to mention that the characters in the dungeon were very crazy. Even if they were imprisoned with some skills, they would self-destruct like the golden skull.

"What about the citizens involved? Will they join the battle?"

"No, they only watch the battles between players and the cult. Even if they are killed by mistake, they won't participate." Hayasaka paused for a moment, then continued, "Unlike us players, we can break the rules as long as we can bear the consequences, but the people here won't do that."

"Okay, I see."

Yuki quickly formed the concept in his mind. This was a collaborative operation between two player teams, and Zhang with Two Guns was obviously full of sincerity.

This is normal. It would take a lot of time for him to search for all this information. How could Yuki let other players get it for free?

If you want to live, everyone has to fight hard.

"Another tactical problem has been solved. Now the only thing left is where to start the battle." Yuki spoke very quickly. Every second was precious now. It was time to combine the clues found by everyone.

"Yeah, no matter which deathmatch arena, it's impossible to cram all the spectators in." Kaguya realized this problem, and then thought about what she found at the beginning of the dungeon: "Can't we just fight in the city? But how will the audience watch?"

"I don't know. It doesn't look like there's any broadcasting technology here, but I have a new discovery." Hiyori stood up lightly, took out a pen and paper and started scribbling. Everyone gathered around, and for a moment they couldn't make out what she was drawing.

Eight circles, eight thick lines, Yuki suddenly looked at the street outside.

"Hiyori, are you drawing a city map?"

"Well, each death arena corresponds to a black building, arranged in an arc, with an error of less than a hundred meters. And Mr. Yuuki, have you noticed anything similar to this layout?"

Yuki thought for a moment, then clenched his fist and slammed the table lightly. "Eight columns surrounding the arena."

This was a very important discovery. Of course, Yuuki, who was always in the Death Arena and rarely left, would not have discovered it. In total, Hiyori had been wandering around the city for three days.

The city is huge and sprawling, with no schematic map and no commanding heights.

It is difficult to observe this in the city. You need to find a reference point and then measure it continuously.

It occupies almost two-thirds of the city's area, including those messy residential areas.

"So, there are more than just Adam and I in the huge arena." Yuki suddenly remembered what Wu Lei'an said, about a group of people fighting in it, and the two strongest people were the focus of everyone's attention.

He probably couldn't go any further after reaching this point, which indirectly proved that Rihe's speculation was correct.

Having solved a strategic problem, Yuki felt much better. Now, there was only one problem that was troubling him and that he couldn't solve:

Can defeating Adam really complete the main mission one and return safely?

[Hint 1: This is a world of deathmatch. Players will participate in deathmatches as individual teams, and the strongest will be the champion.]

This tip had been read hundreds of times, and on the surface it seemed to be true, but the apostle had clearly stated that he was the strongest, which added several ambiguities to the tip.

What a guessing game, no, I have to prepare for the worst.

Thinking of this, Yuuki turned his head expectantly: "Kaguya, how's the clue going?"

While he was fighting Wu Lei'an, Shinomiya Kaguya was responsible for testing ways to escape from the deadly fight.

She is the only one responsible for this. The characters in the copy will self-destruct when they can no longer fight, and will burn themselves when there is no chance of winning. This will prevent the strong from bullying the weak or using control skills.

Kaguya is not very strong, but she is full of skills that are best at delaying time.

When she triggers a deathmatch with a sniper from thousands of meters away, the enemy will instinctively come looking for her, which indeed makes it impossible for her to hide her hidden skills. However, pursuit battles consume a lot of time, and Kaguya also has control skills such as freezing and tidal vortex.

So she escaped and seduced at the same time, and failed several times. But there were endless citizens anyway, so she had plenty of material to try.

"It wasn't until the fifth time that I finally figured it out." The girl paused, seeing Yuki's focused expression, and straightened her messy hair.

"Two hours and twelve minutes. This is the limit of the deathmatch. If I exceed this time, the enemy will not be able to find me. It is equivalent to releasing the battle binding."

Boom!

Yuuki slammed his fist on the table, his eyes gleaming.

"Now all the conditions are met, and we are qualified to launch the final battle."

He couldn't help but get excited. As soon as he entered the dungeon, he pondered over it word by word and confirmed that hint 4 was the core, but the enemy was too stubborn and Yuki had no time to test it.

Difficult, but not absolutely. There must be a problem, either the distance or the time. It is most appropriate to let Kaguya Shinomiya test these two points.

"Thanks for the hard work." He said sincerely. The passerby was not weak. It was really torture to fight for two hours and master the timing.

"Just be less mean to me next time." Kaguya lowered her head, her bangs hiding her expression. She was actually very happy and enjoyed the process of unraveling the mystery.

When have I ever been mean to you?

Yuuki wanted to explain, but he didn't have the time. He paced around the room with his hands behind his back, summarizing all the information he had received over the past few days.

This information was obtained by his own exploration, the hard work of Sakurajima Mai and others, the tireless analysis of Shiina Hiwa, the information told by Wu Lei'an before his death, and the full support of Shuangqiang Zhang.

"Hiyori, I'll summarize and you can add to it."

"Okay." The girl put down her notebook, her eyes shining, and finally came to the final reasoning and analysis of the "murder case".

"The enemy is a cult, led by an 'Apostle'. Their members are non-renewable, and they use killing cycles to perform rituals, hoping to ignite fanatical emotions and achieve certain goals. Players, as seeds, are an important means to achieve their goals. However, after several days of fighting, only Adam and I are left as seeds."

"To be precise, you and Adam are like yin and yang, the best seeds. This ritual must have been carried out many times, and this time the hope is the greatest. That's why it has been patient, even at the cost of breaking the rules it set." Hiyori added softly, as if completing a story.

Yuuki nodded slightly. He'd already figured it out after so many rounds, and continued pacing. "The seeds and the frenzy are both essential. We know the frenzy originates from the 'audience.' If we want to disrupt the ritual, we have to start with the audience. But based on what we've just deduced, if the final battle takes place inside the city, we won't be able to harm the audience outside the eight 'columns.'"

"So we have to get out there, just like when my senior and I investigated the city. Team members don't all have to stay in the 'ring'."

"But how do we deal with the cult's combat power? They will definitely guard those eight death arenas tightly." Yuki turned his head, his eyes sharp.

"Attract their attention, make them put their defensive strength into the 'ring', and when the championship match begins, they won't be able to leave."

"How to attract?"

"They're using time to create a time difference. Since the championship match is scheduled for 23 hours later, they'll do everything they can to prevent you and Adam from meeting." Hiyori's eyes gleamed, clearly activating her 'future reasoning':

"It can't be too early, or the apostles will take action themselves. It can't be too late either. If the 'arena' opens, we won't be able to leave. And you must be under surveillance."

Of course, only Yuki can do it. If he dares to disappear now, the apostles are not fools and will definitely respond.

"But the gap in combat power cannot be made up. Even if I use hint 4, how can I have the energy to face Adam after round of attacks?" Yuki asked again. This time, Hiyori, who had been answering fluently just now, paused.

There was no way Adam would cooperate with him in acting, and the encounter would definitely be a life-and-death battle.

It is known that hint 4 applies to every character in the dungeon. The deathmatch ends when one side dies in battle, or the fight drags on for two hours. No one can intervene before the end.

Yuki can catch one person and beat him half to death, but he cannot control the opponent's self-destruction. If one person dies in the battle, the next one will take over, and it will be endless.

"You're not the only one facing this problem."

When Sakurajima Mai's voice was heard, everyone turned around. It turned out that she had appeared in the lounge without anyone noticing. Her hair was stuck to her forehead, and it was obvious that she had run back.

"Adam has lost control and is now being held in the death arena by members of the cult."

"You mean the cult should personally stop him?" Hayasaka Ai sat beside him, gently swinging her brown leather boots. "That's unnecessary. Those people can't be resurrected. Would they be willing to do that?"

"There seems to be nothing that can be done. The fighters in each death arena should have been exhausted long ago. They can only do it themselves." Shiina Hiyori immediately responded. After everyone thought about it for a moment, they found that it was indeed the case.

Warriors select brave warriors through duels. This process is a process of consumption. Then they learn from Wu Lei'an that warriors can also be resurrected, and this killing cycle will continue indefinitely.

But warriors are different from city residents, and their resurrection speed should not be that fast. Except for the IV Death Arena where Yuki is located, the other venues are littered with corpses.

Speaking of which, I have to thank Adam.

Yuki narrowed his eyes, thinking that he would find a way to cheat. The madman Adam would not let anyone off the hook. Anyone who dared to challenge him would be killed, and the apostles did not dare to really kill him.

A stubborn mind becomes blocked at both ends, right?

He found that with the combined effect of Tip 4, the simple folk customs, and the championship ceremony, the power of the cult was both dispersed and consumed very quickly. Of course, he would not really thank Adam.

If it were a normal player, both sides would have joined hands to act and the problem would have been solved long ago.

"He and I must meet. I must leave hope in that apostle and allow him to devote himself to the ritual."

"But you can't beat him." Mai reminded.

"Not necessarily. If he does this, the consumption will definitely be greater than mine. And don't forget, there is a third group of players." Yuki seemed very confident. He stood solemnly in the room, closed his eyes, and began to deduce frantically.

The location of the decisive battle has been almost determined, the fighting method has been outlined, and we have an idea of ​​who to deal with.

Unable to retreat, we have no chance to find other attack routes; unable to refuse, the apostle is more terrifying than Adam.

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and looked at Hiyori, whose breathing was slightly rapid.

"Where did the battle take place?"

"The urban area within the 'column'."

"Who are you fighting?"

"Adam and the Order, especially the spectators."

"Battle target?"

"Hedging their bets, competing for the championship and disrupting the final ceremony."

"Way?"

"Using Tip 4 and the simple customs of the people here, the former will be hosted by you and Mr. Zhang, and the latter will be handled by Senior Mai. No matter which side wins, we can all return."

After a quick question and answer, Yuuki closed his eyes again. In fact, he and Hiyori both had many hidden dangers that they had not told each other.

Does defeating Adam really make you the champion? Why does the apostle say he is the strongest?

There is more than one player around Adam, what should be done with these people?

The cult will definitely defend the eight death arenas. Can we really attract all their attention?

Even if all goes well, how many spectators would have to be killed for the ritual to fail?

And can Zhang with Two Guns maintain his all-in spirit until the end?

.....

These details could not be resolved. Even Hiyori was a little panicked. The cult was in a hurry, and so were they. There was no time to prepare for each one.

Her head felt a little dizzy, and at this moment, a warm hand was placed on her cheek.

"Hiyori, I really want to give you a feather fan." Yuki felt the delicate touch and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Dry!"

Chapter 29 Attack Speed ​​Stacking

All members are present for this copy.

Shiina Hiyori is responsible for designing the strategy, and any unsolvable problems are naturally handed over to Yuuki. When it comes to tactical adaptability, no known player can be his opponent.

Yuki knew that a copy was like a chessboard, and it was impossible for him to make a move alone, not to mention that there were four players on this game.

The apostles, Adam, him, and Mr. Zhang, each party had a different request, and he didn't even know what the "sacrifice" Wu Lei'an meant.

To whom should we offer sacrifices and for what?
