Unchangeable rules? No wonder I felt like I had already won when I swung that knife.
Yuki finally understood the value of the "concept". No wonder this was the player's last trump card. As for Thomas——
He glanced at the head with wide-open eyes and had to admit that this man was really difficult to deal with. He was powerful, determined, and actually had a good brain. He must have performed brilliantly in the previous copy, which was why Li Dan valued him.
He and I both discovered that specializing in one thing and creating its own unique characteristics is far better than doing too many things without any specialization.
Yuki didn't show much emotion. The reincarnation game was full of killing, and everyone was prepared to kill each other from the moment they joined.
"There is no justice or evil. We are all just poor creatures trying to survive. If it was me who fell, he wouldn't have any regrets." Yuki retracted his gaze and turned to look at Mai Sakurajima who had been holding a gun. "Senior, you can breathe now."
"He's dead?" Mai poked the headless corpse on the ground with the barrel of the gun, still a little unconvinced. The look from Thomas just now made her freeze in place, and the trigger seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
This is simply a monster. A good supermarket is almost demolished.
"Thomas has only been through one instance, and Li Dan hasn't been through too many either. I guess these two don't have items or skills like resurrection." Yuki analyzed calmly, and suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid? We just killed someone. It was a perfect murder."
Thomas is different from the monsters in the copy. He is a living person who lives in the same world as them.
The gun barrel paused, and Sakurajima Mai raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream. She was surprised at first, then a trace of fear flashed across her face, but in the end she became calm.
"I... didn't think too much about it just now. I seem to have gotten used to it."
The tone is filled with sadness and disgust. The reincarnation game is like a master of psychology. It first maximizes the sense of crisis so that people cannot think rationally, and then lets the players slowly get used to the blood and cruelty.
Take Mai for example. At the beginning of the game, Thomas probably couldn't bring himself to cut her when she stood there. But not long ago, she had just blown up hundreds of "humans" who looked like her. In an emergency, the brain will automatically adapt.
The hideous zombies, the police officers who look like normal people but are definitely not normal, and finally the players themselves.
Yuki looked at the ground covered with water. It was pitch black, like a quagmire in the abyss, dragging him deeper and deeper.
Then when we return to reality, killing will become commonplace.
"We have no choice. If we don't kill him, we will die." Yuki put away his long knife, checked the corpse and picked up the chainsword. There is no reward for killing players, but the old players themselves are the treasure.
[Chaos Item: Bloody Chainsaw Sword (Chaos Level), ****]
[As the killing progresses, the user is slightly strengthened until the limit. ***Effect: Overload Mode]
[Side effects: As the enhancement progresses, the user's cognition gradually becomes violent, and after reaching the limit, it begins to cool down and gives back a feeling of fatigue]
[Description: Killing brings pleasure and excitement, but after the pleasure fades, there will be endless fatigue]
It’s still a simple and rough introduction style, but what does the mosaic at the back mean? Is there anything special about it?
Moreover, being at the same chaos level, this sword is much stronger than Hayasaka Ai's frontal lobe fragment. Its ability against groups is slightly weaker, but it won't cause direct kidney deficiency after one shot.
Yuki had some guesses. He glanced at Sakurajima Mai who was standing there in a daze, shook his head, walked towards the scattered shelves, and groped around inside.
"What are you doing?" Sakurajima Mai immediately followed him without even looking at the corpse on the ground. Unlike Yuki, she was not used to killing.
"Now that I've won, I have to get some benefits before confronting Li Dan. You can't use this chaos item, but I've put in so much effort, so I have to compensate you."
"Compensation? Didn't you just search me?"
Mai's face was full of suspicion, and she saw Yuki throwing something to her. She took it subconsciously, and when she looked at it in her hand, her sweet face suddenly froze.
Thin, familiar, isn't this...
"A pair of black stockings is not a sign of respect. Senior sister, you look best in it. This way I will have more strength to swing the knife. Maybe you wouldn't have to do it just now. What are you still standing there for? Thank me now!"
Crash.
As the package was clenched, Mai Sakurajima raised her head, her wet face slightly red, and threw the thing back fiercely.
"Who's going to thank you, you pighead!"
......
All the zombies were led away and they left the mall unimpeded. This was also planned by Yuuki. He was afraid that he would kill Thomas with great difficulty and then be killed by another zombie. Who would he go to for justice then?
Thomas' body was left in the underground supermarket. Players were no different from soldiers in a war. If they failed, they would die on the battlefield. Such a large 'tombstone' was given as a token of appreciation.
"He's a good opponent, and he reminded me not to underestimate any player." Yuki recalled his first impression of Thomas, who was irritable, greedy, and stupid. He was a typical Karami template.
Is acting a necessary option in this damn game? If I dare to underestimate him, I will definitely die.
If one is not naturally wary of 'old players', one would probably have been fooled by this double act.
Fortunately, the initiative is now in my hands.
Yuki secretly glanced back and couldn't help but laugh. Sakurajima Mai was still wearing stockings, which were stained with the crimson moonlight and had a strange beauty.
According to her, this was a thank you gift for saving her life, a reward to the pig-headed boy, but Yuki knew very well where the gratitude was.
Some things cannot be thought about too much, otherwise one will either go crazy or die. She is different from herself, no, all players are different from herself. After joining the game, they will feel astonished and frightened, and then derive a way of life or death based on each person's psychological quality.
'But I am different. When the prompt sounded, my biggest feeling was actually relief.'
The long wait finally paid off, as if the meaning of time travel was for this day, so Li Dan’s guess was correct.
"I'm a time traveler, a time traveler waiting for the advent of the extraordinary. Is it natural that I'm targeted by the game?"
"What are you mumbling about again?" Sakurajima Mai, who was a few steps behind, raised her eyebrows. This is a weird guy.
"I say black stockings are the best!"
"Bah, you're addicted to being a pig, right?" Mai wrinkled her nose and tried to maintain a normal expression: "Seriously, how do we deal with Li Dan? Are we going to fight him again?"
"He is much stronger than Thomas. We will not be able to defeat him even if we use all our trump cards."
"Then let Hasaka escape quietly?"
"Li Dan is not blind, how could he let her escape from under his nose." Yuki snorted, and seeing the serious expression of the senior sister, he was relieved that her companions had a strong sense of awareness, and explained: "If we can't win, there is no need to fight."
“But now the relationship has been torn apart.”
"That's right, but face is not important for survival. I left a hint before. Li Dan is not at the end of his rope yet, and there is no need for him to perish with us."
Mai Sakurajima didn't know what the foreshadowing was, but after thinking about it, she felt that Yuki was right.
Thomas is dead, and Li Dan's greatest reliance and trump card has disappeared. If he wants to survive this copy, he has to rely on Yuki's power. Thinking about it, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"You've already thought about getting through the dungeon? No wonder Thomas mentioned 'clues'!"
"Of course I have an idea, otherwise I would have offered you up to me long ago." Yuki glanced at the girl who was about to curse, and said confidently: "Li Dan originally had his own strategy, there was no need to waste time with me, but now it's different-"
"His path has been cut off, and my path is his only way to survive."
Hiss, this pighead is so insidious!
Sakurajima Mai took a breath. This was like dangling a carrot to prevent Li Dan from doing anything desperate. However, the two sides had already fallen out. How should they cooperate and how should they defend against backstabs? She scratched her head but had no idea.
She simply stopped thinking about it. Well, it had nothing to do with IQ. It was a matter of leaving professional matters to the experts.
"By the way, when you were fighting Thomas, I found the housewife. She was hiding in the mall."
Of course, Thomas can't do it alone.
Yuki's pace suddenly slowed down, his expression focused: "So what is she doing?"
The housewife couldn't see Mai Sakurajima, and Mai didn't bother her. Instead, she observed for a few minutes, as if she had forgotten that Yuki was being beaten all over the floor by Thomas.
"He was in a daze and had no inclination to participate in the battle, like a puppet, and..." Mai tapped his forehead and suddenly remembered a key point.
"Oh, she's still coughing."
Bloodthirsty Red Moon: Chapter 44: Killing People and Destroying Their Hearts (Part 2)
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.
It was extremely insidious and disgusting. After encountering this situation, Li Dan always regarded it as the biggest threat, and then things took a clever turn.
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 discovered something was wrong the next night.
The copy was ridiculously difficult, and he never gained Yuki's true trust. The other party was more than just a talent, which brought back some bad memories for him.
An uncontrolled genius is harmful and useless. Li Dan immediately lost his patience and started to make up for his losses, which led to Thomas's action.
"If I had known I would have taken over the command from the beginning, or I would have simply fed all the newcomers to the zombies, and I would have teamed up with Thomas to honestly attack them. Maybe they would have returned by now."
He rubbed his swollen forehead, thinking that he had made things too complicated.
Ultimately, I was too greedy. I wanted to discover some good talents that I could control and strengthen the team, but when I found out something was not right, the difficulty of the dungeon posed a huge threat.
'Alas, the threat has grown, and no talent has been gained. I have to go back to the simplest and most effective solution. What a waste of time.'
After going around in circles, I'm back to the starting point. I have to nip the good seedlings in the bud myself, and I have to rely on myself and Thomas to survive.
"Fortunately, it's not all in vain."
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 obtaining the true self characteristics of this woman, Li Dan had a 70% chance of passing the dungeon. Then, using this terrifying characteristic as his biggest trump card, the survival rate of the next dungeon would be greatly improved.
There are many good seedlings, but you only have one life. Although this copy has many twists and turns, fortunately the harvest is huge. You just need to hold on for more than 20 hours, and there is also a shortcut.
"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.
