Chapter 1868 Rules Modification (The Elder Scrolls 4 Remastered Edition is Out)
When Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and walked into the last checkpoint, the first person he saw was... not someone else, but a familiar figure.

And there are three of them.

Ann, Mary, and Akane Kurokawa.

The three of them were sitting on chairs in the "lounge", staring at the letter on the table in front of them with serious expressions.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"Ah, Mr. Duanmu, you are here."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's voice, the three girls hurriedly turned around and looked at Duanmu Huai, with a sense of relief on their faces.

"Have you destroyed the evil god?"

"Well, the evildoer was also killed. Of course, the method may be a bit extreme, but it is better than nothing..."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand and walked in front of the three people.

"what is this?"

"It's a letter."

Ann stared at the letter.

“When we came to this space, the letter was on the table.”

"………………?"

"This letter is for you, Mr. Chevalier."

"Give me?"

Duanmu Huai picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully. Indeed, this envelope was exactly the same as those that appeared at the beginning of the game. He opened the envelope and took out the letter paper inside. He saw this written on it.

[Note: It has been detected that the player's behavior in the previous world violated the regulations, so special restrictions are imposed on this game - both parties are not allowed to leave the designated map range. Those who leave will be considered eliminated and will be completely wiped out]

"…………………"

Was it true that what I did in the last world was a bit out of line?
Of course, Duanmu Huai had no regrets. This was the only way to deal with the evil that was obsessed with him. But it was obvious that for the creator of this game, blowing a planet into pieces was a bit too much.

But now I have to be within a designated area - it doesn't matter, if it doesn't work, I'll just kill them all. If you limit the map, maybe I'll kill fewer people.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai continued to look down.

[The limited range and identity have been specified. Players are requested to enter the game map according to the specified identity]

Then in the envelope was a map and four cards that looked like some kind of identification cards, except they were blank.

Duanmu Huai looked at the map first, then frowned.

"Private Hope's Peak Academy?"

In other words, the limited map this time is a school? That would be much easier. He could just find a place to set fire to and turn the entire map into a sea of ​​fire. He wanted to see where that idiot could run to.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai picked up a card, and soon it showed Duanmu Huai's name, headshot, and title. Obviously, he was going to be a teacher in this school. After all, it said that he was a teaching staff member... But what was so good about being a teacher?

"You guys take one too."

Duanmu Huai nodded to the three of them, and the girls picked up the cards and looked at them carefully.

"Ah, our information is on this card."

"Yes, it seems that we are all students?"

"We are still students in the same class."

"Oh?"

Hearing the three girls talking, Duanmu Huai leaned over to take a closer look and saw that their cards had also turned into something similar to student ID cards. In addition to their names and portraits, there was also some strange information written on them.

"But what does the latter mean?"

Mary looked at the last message on the card in confusion.

"A super high school level literary writer?"

"Ah, I have one too... It says Super High School Level Drama Actor..."

Kurokawa Akane also raised his hand, while An next to him tilted his head in confusion.

"I have one too. A super high school level magician? What does that mean? Are you looking down on us?"

The three of them were obviously a little dissatisfied with this title. Although they were all about the same age as high school students, they had already surpassed their school level in terms of ability. Kurokawa Akane was a talented superstar in the drama world, and Mary was also a popular writer whose works sold all over the world. If her works were not very politically incorrect, she might have won a literary award.

Not to mention An, a magical genius who only appears once in a thousand years in Manalia.

The result is only super high school level?

This surprised them all. What kind of world is this? Are their abilities only slightly better than those of ordinary students?

If they were evaluated in other areas, the three of them might not think too much about it, but this is the area they are best at, and in the end they were only evaluated as being slightly better than students. No wonder they were dissatisfied. "Don't think too much, no matter what it is, you will know when the time comes."

In contrast, Duanmu Huai seemed very calm. His idea was very simple. Since this was a limited map, what Duanmu Huai had to do was not to compete with the other party in intelligence. Moreover, Duanmu Huai was sure that, at least for now, he did not know what the treacherous gui looked like, and the treacherous gui did not know what he looked like. In other words, under the current conditions, both parties were opening blind boxes. Although Duanmu Huai was eager to push forward and kill all the things that could move except himself, he also knew that according to the usual temperament of the treacherous gui, if he took action first, he would inevitably attract the attention of the other party.

Therefore, the best way is to see what that guy wants to do first, and then decide how to make a move. After all, based on Duanmu Huai's understanding of cunning and deceit, that guy is the master of change, and the thing he can't stand the most is the same old thing, so he will definitely take action to do something to change everything.

All you have to do is lure the mantis into attacking the cicada while the oriole is behind it, and then kill it.

Besides, the restricted area this time is the school, which means that this guy can't escape at all. Duanmu Huai doesn't believe that a school is not a big place. How can he not find him after a carpet search?
But before that, Duanmu Huai still had some things to clarify with others.

"Before entering this world, I have something to make clear to you."

Duanmu Huai stared at the three people, to be exact—Ann and Mary.

"You must not use magic in this world."

"Hey? Why?"

They were both a little surprised to hear Duanmu Huai's request.

"The God of Change is also the god in charge of magic, and from my experience, your attainments in magic are definitely not as good as his. In fact, now that we have our own identities, it means that we are all hidden. He doesn't know our true identities, nor how many of us there are. Judging from the school introduction, this world doesn't seem to be a world with magic, so if you use magic in that world, he will find you immediately."

"I see……………"

Mary nodded, and Ann frowned in dissatisfaction.

"But that would be disadvantageous to me..."

"Also, although I don't want to say this, but...after entering that world, it's best for us to act alone and not trust anyone else."

"Hey?"

It has to be said that this surprised the three of them again.

"Why is this again?"

"The God of Change controls change. It and its subordinates can easily change into anyone's appearance. Therefore, even our own people may be disguised by the other party to extract information."

"But, but, doesn't Miss Mary have golden eyes? She can see through the disguises of those monsters, right?"

An frowned and retorted.

"Indeed, Mary can see through it, but how can we verify it? Let's put it this way, if two Marys appear in front of us, and each of them accuses the other of being the Lord of Change, what should we do?"

"this……………"

It must be said that An and Kurokawa Akane were speechless for a moment after hearing this. Indeed, Mary's golden eyes are very powerful, but the problem with golden eyes is that only Mary has them, and no one else has them. Basically, it is equivalent to who is pretending, and it is entirely up to Mary to decide. Of course, with Mary's character, she will naturally not deceive everyone.

But the problem is—what if the person who appears in front of everyone is not the real Mary?
Who can guarantee this?
The problem is, there is no guarantee.

Just as Duanmu Huai said, if the two Marys with golden eyes both pointed out that the other was a disguised person, then they had no way to tell them apart.

"So, what are we going to do in that world?"

“Just live your life as who you are.”

Duanmu Huai shook the certificate in his hand.

"Just think of yourself as a student of that school, receive education there, attend classes, and be a normal high school student. If anything happens, just act according to your own ideas... In that world, you can't trust anyone except yourself."

"Won't this... make the operation messy?"

An looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that he could not accept this arrangement. Because this meant that they had to do their own thing, and they could not even ask their companions for help, and they might not be able to have in-depth communication and assistance with them...

"It is an evil god."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"For it, the most important thing is to make trouble, and it doesn't care about the success or failure of the plan. It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. So, chaos is the best. You should all do what you want to do according to your own ideas. Don't think about joining forces with others. Don't come to me, because you can't be sure whether I am pretending or not... Mary, the same goes for you. Your golden eyes are your trump card, so don't expose them until the last moment. Even if you see something you shouldn't see, pretend you didn't see it."

"That's... okay."

Mary nodded somewhat awkwardly.

“Although I’m not sure if I can do it, I think I can give it a try.”

"If it's just acting, then I'm pretty good at it."

Compared to Ann and Mary, Kurokawa Akane was full of confidence this time. Indeed, as an actress, acting was her specialty, and she was also the only genuine high school student among the three - if she had not joined the Tribunal, she would still be in high school.

"Okay, that's all I have to say."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then he looked towards the exit in front of him.

"Now that we're ready, let's go."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai walked forward and pushed open the closed door.
