I am a reincarnation player.

"Oh, she's still coughing."

Chapter 44: Killing and Destroying the Heart (Edited)

cough cough.

Under the red moon, faint coughing sounds were heard from the rooftop of the apartment building. Li Dan held the railing and looked into the distance, with no expression on his honest face.

Thomas should start the action now, and everything will go well according to my arrangement.

He is very confident. In addition to the huge gap in combat power between the two sides, he is also confident in his acting skills. Li Dan believes that he has not exposed any problems since the beginning of the game.

The old players were the first to enter the castle hall, which means that the script had already been written before Yuki and the others arrived.

"I am in the open, he is in the dark, pretending to be incompatible yet reluctantly cooperating, which is enough to deal with any threat."

This arrangement was originally intended to prevent someone from pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. After all, some old players can use some method to delay entry, pretend to be newcomers to deceive their companions, and finally jump out to reap the rewards at the critical moment.

Facts have proved that the top six players are a minority after all, and there are no old players pretending to be pigs and eating the tigers. However, a newcomer who does not look like a newcomer appeared in the team and even found a way to get through the first night.

This was a talent worth recruiting, so he simply changed the plan and gave the stage to Yuki. However, he found something was wrong the next day.

The copy was ridiculously difficult, far beyond my imagination, and even violated the principle of high risk and high reward.

This kind of abnormality is definitely not caused by myself, especially the change of principles cannot happen naturally. After thinking about it, only players can cause this abnormality.

It wasn't him, it wasn't Thomas, and it couldn't be the fat man or the housewife. He worked back the time and quickly locked onto the node right after leaving the castle. There were only a few players in total, so it wasn't difficult to guess.

Something must have gone wrong with one of Yuki, Mai, and Hasaka. After they reunited, he began to observe quietly and quickly narrowed down the scope.

Yuki, it can only be him.

This man is like an indestructible cockroach. He can turn danger into safety time and again, completely occupying the center of the stage. He is even more evil than the young man he met before.

He vaguely felt that this kind of monster should not exist in the game. It was too unfair. When Li Dan was a newcomer, he could only follow behind the old players and take advantage of them. How could he possibly lead a strategy?

After discovering the problem, Li Dan had two choices. One was to really rely on Jiecheng and use this monster to get through the dungeon; the other was to eliminate the source of danger and see if he could get mercy from the game.

If you want to eliminate the evildoers, don't drag us into it.

Li Dan finally chose the second option. This had nothing to do with jealousy or anything, it was simply because of fear and impulse.

He was afraid of the unknown. Who was this being targeted by the reincarnation game? How could a player go against the game?

He acted on his impulse and thought about it over and over again, feeling that if he had followed his impulse in the corridor and pulled the trigger at Yuki, nothing would have happened afterwards.

"Major changes to the game difficulty because of a single player are unheard of. I'll definitely ask about it on the forums when I return, maybe I'll get some interest from the big guys."

He fell into fantasy. He heard that the 'ruthless strategist' really liked to explore the game settings. Using this experience as a stepping stone would definitely bring him benefits.

"But first, I have to find a way to get back."

Li Dan turned his head slightly and looked at the black-haired girl on the other side of the rooftop. The latter was gazing into the distance with anticipation. It was no use chatting with him for a long time just now.

It’s strange, why do these three people always distrust me and care so much about friendship?

Li Dan was really confused. These three people called him "Brother Li, Brother Li" from the beginning of the game, and their acting was very real, but they never really trusted him. It was totally illogical.

If it weren't for my special ability to sense it, I would have been deceived long ago.

It doesn’t matter. Once those two people die, she will have no choice. If it doesn’t work, I will patiently set up some more plots.

He was too lazy to think too much and also looked into the distance. By getting the true characteristics of this woman, Li Dan was 70% sure that he could pass the dungeon, and then use this experience to contact those large player organizations and reach the pinnacle of his life.

"It all depends on whether Thomas can force out clues. With this, our chances of success will be 100% and we can save a lot of time."

'But there's no need to force it. With her characteristics, I can find the clues myself.'

A kind of confidence that everything is under control emerged, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. His eyes had already been set on the next copy. With the harvest this time and his own caution, he would have a chance for revenge even if he met 'him' again.

My characteristics are the strongest, and the hardships I encounter in reality are born for the reincarnation game!

Li Dan raised his hand, looked at his watch, and found that the time was almost up. In just a moment, the smile on his face was replaced by regret and self-blame, and he slowly walked towards Sakurajima Mai.

"Ms. Mai, stop looking. It's been almost an hour, and Yuki and the others haven't joined us yet. I'm afraid..." Li Dan hesitated and then gritted his teeth, as if he was trying to be a bad guy:

"I'm afraid they've been eliminated. This is my fault. I didn't expect the side effects of 'Death Knell' to last so long."

Taking the responsibility proactively seemed quite honorable, but as soon as he finished speaking, Robert started yelling.

"It has nothing to do with Brother Li. A lot of people have died in this shitty game. Miss Mai, please cheer up. I don't want to be the next one!"

He almost begged, and then saw the black-haired girl still looking into the distance. He was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond next.

Are they just dumbfounded? The three of them have been together for just one day, and they have become close friends who depend on each other for life and death?

Mai Sakurajima didn't look back, as if she didn't feel the embarrassment behind her, and her empty eyes made people feel pity.

"Okay, put away your sadness, we still have to live on." Li Dan emphasized his tone, provoking the other party: "Our destiny is in our own hands. I don't care how deep the feelings between you are, but please bear their lives until the last copy and tell the truth to your deceased friends!"

With passion and enthusiasm, like a brave man roaring at fate, Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light suddenly appear in Sakurajima Mai's eyes.

Well, this trick is most useful for little kids.

"Look, they're back." Sakurajima Mai suddenly said, making Li Dan frown.

Are you hallucinating because you are too sad?

The little brat was so naive that he suddenly felt a little bored and instinctively turned his head away, and then -

The face quickly turned white, then from white to blue, and the eyeballs bulged out, as if he had seen something horrible.

"This is impossible!!"

On the roof opposite, there stood a man and a woman, with similar equipment and weapons, but they looked completely different from Thomas. Reflected in Li Dan's dark brown pupils, they became more terrifying than evil spirits.

That was the boy with red eyes, and that was the girl with long black hair. They stood side by side, appearing and disappearing under the red moon, but the boy could be seen raising his right hand and waving, smiling with his brilliant white teeth.

After being killed by Thomas, he turned into a ghost! ?

This thought flashed through Li Dan's mind instantly. In the reincarnation game, everything is possible. It is also normal for dead players to be sent back as gifts by the red moon, but he soon felt something was wrong.

Wait a minute, that kid Yuki can turn into a ghost, but what about Mai Sakurajima?

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the side. There was still a girl in his pupils, but she had blonde hair and a side ponytail, and she looked at him with the same surprised eyes.

"Brother Li, if you look at me like that, I'll be shy."

Hayasaka Ai covered her face. Her naturally charming tone was very tempting, but it also made Li Dan's face turn red instantly.

I was fooled! I was completely fooled!

I don't know when Sakurajima Mai and Hasaka were switched, and my plot had already been seen through by him!

How could he be seen through? When did they change their identities? How could he have the ability to kill Thomas? I just talked to her for almost an hour, why didn't I notice anything wrong?

How many cards do these three have?

A huge number of doubts filled my mind, none of which could be answered. Under the hazy moonlight, everything seemed like a dream, making it difficult to distinguish what was true and what was false.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Dan instantly pulled out a huge revolver and aimed at Yuki's head.

"You're looking for death!"

It was very accurate, and he didn't even need to make any adjustments. Yuki felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if the other party would pull the trigger at any time and his head would explode.

But he was not afraid, and a smile appeared on his face. He spoke slowly and calmly: "Brother Li, look at what you said, I should have wanted to die a long time ago, otherwise how could you bear to kill me."

Yuki stroked the chainsaw sword with an indifferent expression, and stared back without showing any weakness.

"Unfortunately, I was prepared. I'll take Thomas's things for now. If you want to continue fighting, I'll accompany you. Anyway, the winner will only live a few more hours."

"I'm a newcomer, and it doesn't matter if I live a few hours less. But you've gone through two dungeons with great difficulty and planned such a huge script. If you are willing to die with me--"

Yuki put down his sword, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed slightly.

"What an honor!"

Chapter 45: Pot-Sharing Conference (Revised)

Murder and kill!

Even though Yuki's tone was indifferent, without any sarcasm or deliberate ridicule, but at that moment, Li Dan's veins bulged and his index finger exerted some force.

Kill him, kill this ignorant newcomer!

He felt like he was being slapped in the face. He thought the game was created for him. He took advantage of his status as an old player and arranged the script in advance. Not only was he exposed, but he also killed Thomas, who was also an old player.

How can I not be angry? How can I not hate?

Hateful as it was, those eyes filled with murderous intent trembled slightly. The reason was very simple:

This statement is indeed heartbreaking, but it hits the point directly and there is no way to refute it.

If he wanted to kill Yuki, he would have pulled the trigger long ago, without any unnecessary words. However, the desire to survive kept him rational and prevented his body from being controlled by anger.

First of all, this newcomer is not an easy problem. He must have some terrible trump card in his hand, otherwise how could he kill Thomas? And this trump card still exists, otherwise how could he dare to appear in front of him so openly.

'That woman is gone. Is she hiding in the dark, preparing for battle?'

His attention began to spread around. He knew how terrifying the invisible assassin was, but these were not the key points.

Secondly, Yuki was right. He was not afraid of fighting Li Dan, but the problem was that even if he won, what would happen even if he chopped this bastard into dumpling filling? Not to mention the possibility of injury, his plan would have failed at the very beginning.

Without Thomas, he would be dead if he relied on himself, but this was not the end of the world——

Isn't the key clue to the strategy in the hands of the other party?

"What do you want to do?" After a brief silence, Li Dan finally spoke, and his eyes, which were always full of encouragement, became cold.

"Simple, please don't interfere with my dungeon strategy. We are players, and this is our most important job." Yuki shrugged, his tone relaxed: "Besides, our goal is to survive. Anyway, we may not meet in the next dungeon. I think face, friendship, hatred and other things are meaningless."

There is no need to answer this question. Players are forced to join the game, and their first priority is definitely survival. Even if Li Dan kills Yuki to avenge his teammates and save his face, what good will it do? Will the game judge him as the winner?

Similarly, there is no need for Yuki to seek revenge, as that would be a threat to his own life.

So after a moment, Li Dan nodded slightly. In order to survive, he didn't care about failure.

"Cooperation or truce?"

"Of course it's a truce. We've torn our faces apart, and if we cooperate we still have to be on guard against each other. Don't worry, I didn't touch that housewife. I'll tell you the clues before I leave."

"You want me to believe in your character?" Li Dan laughed sarcastically.

"I'm not that naive." Yuki still looked at ease and said casually: "Since you can act with Thomas, you must not trust his character."

How could two old perverts trust each other? There must be some key prop.

Li Dan looked at Jie Cheng deeply, but since the other party could calculate to such an extent, it was reasonable for him to guess the reason.

"You are very smart, so smart that it makes me regret it. No wonder you dare to stand directly in front of me."

"Thank you for the compliment. I was just lucky. Besides, you are a rational person and you will make the right choice even without this tool."

Yuki felt relieved, he guessed right, with this key prop, Li Dan would have no desire to fight.

Luck? Luck alone could have pushed me to this point?

Li Dan snorted coldly, too lazy to argue anymore. He snapped his left fingers and something like a bamboo slip appeared in his palm.

"The Land Blessing Contract, under the premise of consensus, the content written by both parties will be recognized and constrained by the game, and the signatories cannot violate it."

It is indeed a team-type prop. I was wondering how well the two old villains cooperated with each other. Li Dan was not afraid of Thomas' backstabbing, after all, the latter's acting skills were also very professional.

Everything made sense at once, and Yuki asked curiously, "What are the side effects?"

"Don't worry about the random phenomena at the strategic level. They no longer exist." Li Dan looked away. The meaning was too obvious.

"Haha, no wonder the game is so difficult, it turns out it's you. I was wondering, two veteran players teamed up, you have more experience than Thomas."

Yuki immediately understood that Li Dan and Thomas had different qualifications, which was equivalent to sneaking into someone else's copy and encountering a low-probability event where there were only two veteran players.

You have all the advantages. If I don't hit you hard, do you really think the dungeon is a place to get rewards?

"I do bear some responsibility." Li Dan frowned and said bitterly, "But you bear the greater responsibility. My plan will cause risks, but it can't change the game settings. The one the reincarnation game wants to kill is you, not me."

He was also doubting himself at first, until he killed a bunch of zombies but didn't get any rewards, and then he realized it wasn't his fault.

"But if it weren't for the risks you created, I think the castle wouldn't be so dangerous, and I wouldn't have to make a choice." Yuki said expressionlessly and threw the pot back.

Yes, if he hadn't been scared by the castle, he would have chosen 'no' at that time.

Choice? Mutation comes from choice?

Li Dan's expression changed slightly. He didn't know what Yuki chose, but it sounded like it was related to the horror of the castle.
