I am a reincarnation player.

They came to the rooftop of a shopping mall, where the view was wide and they could see the small square in front of them and the residential areas around them. Those were all five- or six-story walk-up buildings with old and mottled exterior walls.

"Take a break first." Yuki glanced at Hayasaka Ai who was holding her knees and gasping for breath, and took out a tablet from her backpack.

This is also the information terminal seized from SWAT. The police disappeared at night, and there was only a lonely blue light in the huge city.

"When are we going to rescue her?" Hayasaka Ai asked for the second time, quite persistently.

"The straight line distance is three kilometers. We are still stopping. Li Dan should be trying to win her over. There is no player death notification in this instance. They don't know whether we are alive or dead."

"Then Li Dan becomes the only one to rely on? That's right, if we die, Sakurajima Mai has no choice but to obey, which not only satisfies friendship, but also conforms to the instinct of survival." Hayasaka Ai showed a cold and sarcastic smile and asked:

"But there's one thing I don't understand. Why would I choose between Sakurajima Mai and you? Isn't the value you've demonstrated enough?"

"Because he's not stupid, he guessed the anomaly in the copy was directly related to me. This is using experience and the simplest method of elimination."

Yuki looked up at Hongyue. He didn't have the ability to read minds, so he could only guess at some things.

According to common sense, a talented newcomer should be won over, which does not conflict with using Sakurajima Mai. It can only be said that Li Dan is too smart.

He accurately locked onto the time period when the copy was abnormal. It happened that during that period, he was not under his surveillance. After confirming that Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai had nothing to do with this, who else could be the suspect?

As for why the abnormality occurred, whether it was your fault or not, it doesn’t matter.

"It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. This Li Dan is a real character."

Hayasaka Ai looked at him and didn't ask if Li Dan's guess was right. She frowned and said, "If that's the case, why not just kill you?"

"Because my value hasn't been fully exploited yet. He wants to clear the dungeon himself, and he needs Mai Sakurajima's special abilities." Yuuki rolled his eyes at her, leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance, his voice lowered.

"He turned against me on the spot. He couldn't guarantee which side Mai would be on, so he had to use conspiracy to split the team and let us die at the hands of the zombies."

"But we are alive, we can go back and expose him." Hayasaka Ai was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. It was disgusting for such an old player to treat newcomers as tools and talk too much about being generous.

"Ha, so we have to die. He can't control the zombies, but he has a trump card."

Pop, pop, pop.

As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out. Yuuki and Hayasaka Ai trembled slightly and turned their heads to look at the entrance to the rooftop.

Under the crimson moon, a man in a leather jacket sat cross-legged on the bed. His short hair fluttering in the night wind had a tuft of red highlights. His right hand was raised, holding a handful of——

Scarlet Chainsaw Greatsword!

Chapter 41 You Must Die! (Edited)

Pop, pop, pop.

Thomas clapped softly, not enthusiastically, but full of admiration.

"Very good reasoning. Are you a medical student or a detective? You actually guessed everything."

His tone was a little curious, but when he saw the two people staring at him tensely, he shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be nervous. I like to read suspense novels. I can't sleep if there is no answer. If you satisfy my curiosity, I will let you die with a clear mind." He was not nervous, and there was no need to be nervous. He was like a cat that blocked a mouse. Without waiting for an answer, he asked:

"When did you find out he was going to do it?"

Yuki watched his every move and opened his dry mouth: "Just now I just had reasonable suspicion, but now it is certain."

Thomas was stunned, his eyes widened slightly, and then he started clapping again.

"Excellent! It turns out that you were deliberately following the script, identifying the crisis at the most appropriate time and place. Oh, and even holding out for a slight chance of a comeback."

He understood. There were no zombies around now, and it was not time for Red Moon to give her gift. If they really wanted to have a falling out, now was the best time. At least they didn't have to worry about being attacked by the enemies in the dungeon.

"Then when did you start to suspect me? Let me guess. It must have been when he passed the message to me. That's amazing. He actually suspected that I had a special relationship with him just from this point."

At that moment, Thomas had already seen that Yuki was not surprised. He had obviously guessed his arrival, but he didn't know where he had revealed the flaw.

"It's normal for old players to secretly exchange information. I have no doubts about it. The acting skills of the two of you are perfect."

"Then why did you..." Thomas' mouth froze with joy. He saw Yuki raised his hand and patted his shoulder with just the right amount of force, exactly three times.

"It's difficult to hide people's body language. Li Dan only does this to people he trusts. Once I have doubts, I can focus my attention and observe to make more doubts." Yuki lowered his hands and slowly smiled.

"For example, you two seem to have a bad relationship, but you work well together. For example, when Robert mentioned that the difficulty of the dungeon was ridiculous, I specifically mentioned your reason. Maybe it was too sudden, so his expression changed instinctively. "

"Another example is that when time was so tight, he stopped less than a kilometer away from the meeting point and you didn't take the initiative to look for him."

Thomas took a breath, and the curiosity and admiration in his eyes turned into fear. He thought Yuki had some skills like observing the future.

Now it seems that it was just an unintentional calculation, with meticulous observation, silently approaching the profound truth in the human body.

This is even more terrifying. It's as if he was born for games. God knows how far he will grow.

"You are really amazing. I suddenly feel that you may not have gained anything from the reincarnation game. Your mere existence has caused the copy to become abnormal."

Oh, you guessed it right. Isn’t it all because you unlocked the characteristics yourself?

"Mr. Thomas, do you also think I've obtained some kind of artifact, or a skill that changes the difficulty of the game?"

"Of course not. In my experience, any reward in the reincarnation game comes from hard work. How could it be corrected by reward?"

"Then why do you suspect me?" Yuki was depressed. His characteristics were very special, but they were far from the level of 'Wind Spirit Moon Shadow'.

"My intuition tells me that you deserve to die the first time I saw you." Thomas held the greatsword and pressed forward steadily, making the feeling of oppression even stronger.

"Is that such a ridiculous reason?"

"Ha, what else could be the reason? You dare say there weren't any unusual circumstances?" Thomas took a second step, looked at Yuki, speechless, and laughed. "Right? My teaming up with him does affect the dungeon's difficulty, but high risk means high reward. If there's a problem on the reward side, it must be something else."

"There are only a few new players. Fatty is next to Li Dan, and the housewife is next to me. You three are the only suspects left, and you have such a big role. Isn't the answer obvious?"

Li Dan deliberately gave up the stage. He escaped from the castle, broke through the siege, and killed the tyrant. His presence was indeed too strong, but there was nothing he could do if he was not strong. Should he just give up and wait for death?

"Has this ever happened before where the difficulty of the game is affected by a certain player?" Yuki retreated quietly. He also wanted to get an answer from the old players.

"I've never heard of it. If Li Dan hadn't analyzed it to me for a long time, I wouldn't have believed it." Thomas shrugged. In fact, he didn't believe it now, but he had no other explanation.

He had discussed this with other players and found the sudden increase in difficulty unbelievable. After returning, this adventure might be able to fetch a good price.

"Alright, even if it's my fault." Yuki raised his hands, struggling in vain. "Killing me will solve the problem? You don't want to know what's wrong with me?"

"I don't care, I don't know. Anyway, there's no harm in killing you." Thomas's logic was simple and crude, but one had to admit that this was the best choice.

The more ordinary players know, the more dangerous it is. Judging from the current situation, since the reincarnation game wants them dead, they should just eliminate the source of danger. Maybe they can get mercy from the game.

As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, the abnormality was caused by Yuki, please don't drag us into it.

thump.

He jumped onto the rooftop, stepped on the floor and made a few cracks, and asked casually: "But I will still give you a chance to tell me the clues to leave the castle."

This topic has nothing to do with the present, but it seems very important.

"I'll die anyway."

"At least it will be a quick and clean death. Of course, I think you have no clues at all and are just bluffing."

"Of course, but let me die knowing full well first." Yuki raised his voice, as if this could reduce the fear.

"Okay, let's make a gentleman's agreement." The man didn't want to ask any further questions, because he was also completing the dungeon in his own way.

Wuwuwu——

The chainsaw sword cut through the floor, scattering dazzling sparks. Thomas came towards him, getting closer and closer, and Yuki seemed to care more about his curiosity.

"The player's idiosyncrasies are bound skills, so why can Li Dan take them away?"

"Who told you that you can't take it? Under certain conditions, special items, skills, and even other players' characteristics can be taken."

"I understand. That's why Li Dan wants me to die so that Mai can trust him and rely on him, thus satisfying the conditions?" Yuki's eyes widened, his face filled with excitement.

"Trust is the condition of his predatory nature!"

Thomas stopped suddenly. He didn't tell anyone any useful information, but Yuki deduced the truth. He burst out laughing and twisted his neck, making a "clicking" sound.

"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting, but I——"

boom! !

The roof shook and the whistling sound of the chainsaw arrived before the words.

"I hate smart people the most!"

The floor was cut, the guardrail was broken into two pieces like a piece of paper, and a corner of the mall roof was instantly missing.

The stones flew everywhere and were torn into powder by the chainsaw. Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly and kicked them.

boom--

The flash bomb exploded in the air, brightening the night sky, but did not cause any damage at all.

"It seems you want to die in pain."

He gave a cruel smile, stepped out of the dust, and saw that there was no one in front of him, only a rope hanging on the railing. It turned out that during the question and answer session just now, this guy quietly hung the straps on the railing and turned over and jumped off the roof.

It's interesting to do two things at once.

Thomas stabbed the sword into the floor, drew a circle, and fell downstairs like cutting tofu.

Boom.

The rubble fell to the ground along with the figure. Yuki, who had just run into the mall, turned around and saw Thomas squatting in the corridor. Without thinking, he raised his gun and shot.

Ding ding ding.

Sparks flew from the greatsword, tightly covering his body, and then he charged at an extraordinary speed, catching up in just three or two steps.

'Skills like dynamic vision.'

Yuki licked his lips and changed several positions for bursts of fire. The opponent was able to move to block in advance, which meant that he could accurately capture the direction of his gun.

He simply threw the rifle away, and saw the gun turned into a pile of broken parts in the air, and then rolled backwards at the moment Thomas took a lunge forward.

Swah——

A straight crack was cut in the floor. Thomas continued to rush forward, exerting force on his waist and abdomen to pull out the greatsword that was dragged behind him, followed by a horizontal slash.

The vending machine and the wall were cut off together, and the drinks splashed out, but the chainsaw sword showed no sign of getting stuck. As his waist turned, he slashed back with his backhand, blasting the two objects thrown at him in mid-air.

boom.

Fine white powder exploded and filled the corridor. Thomas stood still, listening with his ears cocked. It took several seconds before he slowly stood up.

"Escaped pretty fast."

He glanced at the remains of the fire extinguisher at his feet, his interest growing stronger.

This newcomer is extraordinary. He can remain calm under his own attacks and use the environment to fight back. This has surpassed most ordinary people.

And the chosen location is also very interesting. If all the zombies are led away, there will be no creatures to warm the chainsaw sword. Otherwise, it would only take one or two levels to crush this clever trick with absolute speed and strength.

"It seems you still have a trump card to play. I'm also curious, what's your basis for changing the difficulty of the reincarnation game?"

He raised his hand and pulled down the glasses on his forehead. In thermal imaging mode, the world turned gray and white, and a few drops of warm blood on the floor were extending into the distance.

Da da da.

Thomas tapped the wall rhythmically with the back of his hand and walked towards the mall at a leisurely pace, dragging his sword with him, letting his humming echo in the silent building.

"Hide well and run as fast as you can, or Death will come to you soon."

Chapter 42: Hesitation, Defeat! (Part 2)

Hu Hu Hu.

Outside the freezer door, the cold air turned into frost. Yuki leaned his back against the wall and slowly put a tourniquet on his left arm.

The body acted instinctively, but the brain was thinking at full speed. It was not shivering in the closet like a little animal, but was filled with cold rationality.

"As I expected, his Chaos Item needs flesh and blood to be fed in order to exert its more terrifying power."

Under the moonlight in the ancient castle, everyone else was concentrating on escaping, but Yuki was the only one who had the energy to carefully observe the combat effectiveness of the veteran players. Thomas could not hold back in that emergency situation, as he saw it all.

The more he killed, the more violent he became, and in the end he was completely unable to control himself, which in turn brought him great destructive power, like a human demolition machine, killing hundreds of zombies.

'Not only is he blessed with Chaos Items, he should have extreme physical strength, and has traces of training in European swords and free fighting, coupled with skills such as dynamic vision, well, he is indeed a player who specializes in combat.'

Unlike Li Dan who always makes Yuki unable to guess, Thomas is more simple and straightforward, making it easier for Yuki to infer information.

"Thomas must have had excellent basic qualities before becoming a player. His experience with the game is no more than two dungeons, which is definitely beyond the ordinary. But besides being a combat expert, he doesn't have as many hidden cards as Li Dan."

Yuki stretched his shoulders and wrapped his thick coat tightly around him. He had just said so much about the topic not only for the purpose of escaping. Before starting a war, he must try his best to know himself and the enemy.
