I am a reincarnation player.

He didn't know, but that's how the reincarnation game is. There are no good guys. If there are, they must be pretending to be good and trying to trick you into giving him your secrets.

More importantly: Have they all discovered the trap buried in Hint No. 6?

The man suppressed his thoughts and made a decision: "Since the danger is within the tolerable range, let's split into three groups and proceed simultaneously to enter the eighth floor as soon as possible."

"What's hint five? If the two teams go the wrong way and it happens three times in total, we will be punished." Hayasaka Ai reminded them that they had already tried it, but on different floors, the signal interference was very strong and it was difficult for them to communicate with each other through intercoms.

"Don't worry about it. Don't forget to remind Seven. Any further delay will be very dangerous." Curly shook his head helplessly, looking like he was forced to fight.

[Tip 7: Please note that the demon will continue to expand and get closer]

No one knows how and where it expands, but it sounds like it has something to do with time.

After spending one night to adapt and confirm that conventional methods were useless, the dungeon strategy entered a turning point. Every veteran player began to use their own experience and expertise. There was only one last question left:

How should people be divided?

The five veteran players and four newcomers had already determined each other's value, at least on the surface, through previous cooperation.

Yuuki is powerful, but this madman is extremely dangerous. Sakurajima Mai has a weak presence and can be regarded as a semi-newcomer, but she is bound to the taciturn Hayasaka Ai. I won’t say much about the latter, but at least her revolver is powerful.

Among the newcomers, Shiina Hiwa has extremely high observation skills and IQ, Jack has strong physical fitness and is likely to awaken combat characteristics, and as for the female college student Jenny and the boy Zhang Qing, they are completely a burden.

The discussion fell silent in an instant, and solemn gazes collided back and forth. Since it was a matter of survival rate, no one was willing to give in. Sakurajima Mai quietly approached Hayasaka Ai and expressed her attitude.

Just as they were scheming against each other, a hoarse voice rang out.

"She and he come with me, and you can divide the rest among yourselves."

Yuki pointed at Shiina Hiyori and the boy with different-sized eyes with a little annoyance, as if he had lost patience with this endless discussion.

"He's fine, but Miss Hiyori can't go with you." The tyrant frowned and shook his head slowly. Curly also looked over with a flickering look in his eyes.

"What a joke. Who's coming with me? The curly one? Or the rabbit?"

Yuki acted as if he didn't see anything and just one sentence made the tyrant unable to answer.

Among the people present, Jack had a grudge against him and definitely didn't dare to go. Miss Rabbit and Hasaka were obviously in the same group, so they couldn't group three veteran players together. Curly was even more impossible, as his strength was far beyond the standard. What about the other two teams?

The probability on a normal floor is one-third, which means that two teams are bound to fight.

Yuki is not unreasonable. Isn't this just claiming that he is a burden?

He somewhat regretted being the one in charge. There was no way to guarantee fairness, and further arguing would waste a lot of time.

"Does it have to be her? Jenny can go with you."

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to help you get rid of two burdens?" Yuki sneered and raised the chainsaw sword. "As for why it was her, it's very simple--"

He glanced at Shiina Hiyori who had a frightened expression and pointed his finger at his head.

"I'm not very smart, so of course I have to be paired with a smart person. It's only fair."

Chapter 10: Deeply Misguided, Demonic Possession (Part 2)

Hua Hua Hua.

The sound of the elevator running echoed, and there was silence inside the elevator. As a reasonable madman, Yuki made others unable to refute with just a few words.

His current personality does not contain any mentally retarded elements, and he certainly will not be fooled by a tyrant. Valuable newcomers must be held in his own hands, and Shiina Hiyori also concerns his actual operations.

He felt at ease if she stayed by his side, in case she became unrecognizable and it was difficult to predict.

"I'm getting more and more experience in leading girls to dungeons, but I wonder if my senior will be jealous?"

"It's convenient to be an old player. At this stage before, I was still pretending to be Li Dan's grandson."

"The expressions of those two people at the end were very interesting. They probably suspected that I was a wolf."

The other two teams had already left early, leaving only three people in the giant elevator. Just as Yuki was daydreaming, the girl and the boy were both a little panicked.

The boy was really scared, but Shiina Hiyori was both scared and curious.

'From his conversation with Miss Rabbit, Mr. Thomas is clearly a rational and calm player, but he chose to play a weirdo. Is this bluffing?'

Hiyori has already discovered some problems. This division of forces seems to have been proposed by Curly, but in fact it was Yuki who was instigating the situation. He obviously doesn't want to mix with the old players.

"It seems that he is more afraid of his own kind than the copies. Why can't we all unite?"

The girl was very confused, but she still decided to board Yuki's ship. Emotionally, it was Miss Rabbit who tried her best to rescue her, but rationally it was simpler:

She had already seen that the three of them were in a cooperative relationship. No matter how strong they were, at least they had the upper hand. If she guessed correctly, Miss Hasaka and Miss Rabbit were deliberately in a group with Curly.

Ding--

Just as Shiina Hiwa was summarizing the clues, the elevator reached the floor, and everyone, including Yuki, held their breath for a moment.

There is no turning back this time. A fight will most likely break out at any time and the bustling ward in front of us will turn into a dark hell again.

"Plug your ears and don't be disturbed by these sounds." Yuki turned around, took out a pair of earplugs and threw them to the boy.

Zhang Qing blinked and wanted to ask Rihe why she didn't need to wear it, but when he saw the cold man in front of him, he swallowed and put it on obediently.

There are some things you can't listen to.

One of the reasons why Yuuki chose this burden was that he was obedient. He simply stepped out of the elevator, walked forward without looking around, and asked Shiina Hiyori:

"Are you curious as to why the team was separated?"

"Yes, a little bit. In my opinion, it is safer for everyone to act together, and it won't waste too much time."

"Then why didn't you object just now?"

Hiyori bit her lip and said hesitantly, "Because dividing the troops is also your wish. No, it is the wish of all the old players."

Yuki smiled. He liked smart people who could really perceive deeper secrets from just a few words.

To put it bluntly, this is a question of trust. Without a signed contract, no one is willing to take the risk of being betrayed.

The more people there are, the greater the risk. For example, if you divide the team into a cover group and an exploration group to quickly search the floor, how can the person exploring the path guarantee that if something goes wrong, his teammates won't escape first and he will be trapped in the floor.

All veteran players, including him, should have noticed that the starting floor and the abnormal floor are not in the same spatial dimension.

"Anything else?" Yuki asked in a testing tone.

"Uh, and when comparing the floors, the old players found new clues, but for some reason, they refused to share them?"

"Yes, their observation ability may not be as good as yours, but they have more experience and strange skills." Yuki quickened his pace, crossed the three-way intersection where the corridors converged, and headed towards the bright red corridor of last night.

He turned his head slightly and saw the confused expression on the girl's face.

"You must be wondering why players can't unite, pool clues, and solve the puzzle with collective thinking?"

"Well, I think as long as we unite, there must be a solution to this copy." The girl raised her slender neck, and the light of an idealist flashed on her soft face.

Yuki shook his head slightly and did not laugh at the other party's naivety. Most newcomers would have similar cognition. He only reacted after being beaten by Li Dan.

"That's not the case. In the Reincarnation game, the proportion of dungeons and players each accounts for 50%. This feature was determined at the beginning of the game. Think about the seven tips again and again."

He did not tell the answer, and while the girl was thinking hard, he stepped into the bloody corridor of last night.

It was still bright here, and busy nurses walked quickly past. In front was the corner where the man with glasses was swallowed up, and there were four wards on both sides.

This area has not been compared, because even if an abnormality is found, it will be judged as going astray, and every player remembers all the details at the starting floor.

It was less than two hundred meters away from the stairwell. According to the nature of the reincarnation game, if something went wrong, the final stage would often be the most dangerous.

Yuki glanced at the Serenity Drops. There was only half of the liquid in the crystal bottle. It would take eight hours to fill up, which was far from enough time now.

"I won't use the Chainsword for now. It will combine with Demonic Possession and I'll drink up all the Dettol in two gulps. Luckily I have a secondary weapon ready."

Putting away the greatsword, he spread out his palm and grasped the red-handled sword. The two-foot-long blade, like autumn water, was brighter than before.

As early as the last battle, Yuki decisively destroyed the reinforcement points, which allowed him to withstand the bombardment of the death knell.

[Chaos Item: Long Sword (Alienation Level), forged once.]

[Permanent strengthening magic, forging effect: it is sharper and harder]

【Side effects: None.】

[Description: A long sword that evolved from an ordinary item. It is simple, but deadly enough.]

The first time Yuki used enhancement points to forge a weapon, he discovered that the nameless long sword was different from the chaos-level chainsaw sword. The latter added an 'overload mode' after one forging, giving it long-range killing capabilities, but correspondingly, the side effects would also increase.

The coexistence of benefits and costs is an eternal truth. Yuki values ​​the nameless long sword because it has no side effects and can be used without paying too much price, which just matches "Demon Possession".

There is a saying that goes, weapons don’t have to be the strongest, but they must adapt to the current situation.

It's just like using a pistol more often in a CQB fight instead of carrying a powerful bazooka to commit suicide.

Gulu.

The boy swallowed and became nervous when he saw him draw his sword, while Shiina Hiyori seemed to be immersed in thought, and suddenly raised his head and tugged at the corner of Yuki's clothes.

"I understand. It's hint five. The cumulative number of times you have gone astray four times is calculated by floor. So one of our three teams will not be affected at all."

Well, I haven't analyzed this point yet, but it does sound very likely.

Yuuki's energy is too scattered. If he wants to be a scheming old man and plot against players, he must be weak in dungeon research, but this is exactly the reason why Shiina Hiyori is brought along.

When men and women work together, the work becomes less tiring.

"That's not the reason."

"That is......"

"Don't think about it for now." Yuki walked to the corner ahead, then slowly raised his knife and pointed upwards, "It looks like our luck is very bad."

The boy and Hiyori looked up at the same time, and both faces turned pale instantly.

All I saw was the ceiling was covered with fire sprinkler heads. It looked abnormal without even a careful comparison.

The two men instinctively wanted to step back, but Yuki raised his left hand and smashed it hard on the alarm next to him.

Bang——ding ding ding——

The glass shattered, the fire alarm rang, and then there was the sound of the fire door falling down. Before the devil could come to punish the players who had gone astray, Yuki had already actively triggered the abnormality.

The entire ward began to be divided by fire doors, the lights went out one by one, and the sunlight outside the window disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the corridor returned to the green color dyed by the emergency lights.

Yuki looked at the dark corridor entrance in front of him and did not rush in. Instead, he slowly raised his nameless long sword.

Demonic possession.

A layer of gray-black mist lingered around the body, and the blood-red pupils changed strangely. At the same time, Shiina Hiyori and the boy's teeth began to tremble unnaturally.

The atmosphere of cruelty, brutality and terror spread together, making the two ordinary people instinctively afraid, while Yuki drank a sip of the tranquil drops and allowed reason to take over his body again.

All he could see was a dark light, something that was difficult to see with the naked eye. During the last battle, he discovered that demonic possession was more useful than the chainsaw sword, and he even felt at home.

slam-la-

The sprinkler probe started to work, but it sprayed out only red blood. The foul smell of blood was nauseating. Shiina Hiyori and the boy were sprayed all over their heads and felt their consciousness become confused.

"Go to the ward, one room per person."

Yuki growled. Just like before, this horror movie-like scene would corrode the player's spirit, but he was not affected much.

Is this what they mean by as long as I take the initiative to fall into depravity, the environment will not affect me?

"A demon will crawl out of the ward. Isn't this just sending it to the door?"

Shiina Hiyori was stunned, glanced at the back in front of him, and felt that nothing good would come of being bathed in a bloody rain, so he gritted his teeth and quickly ran into the ward on the left.

When she moved, Zhang Qing also reacted and quickly found a ward to hide in. In the blink of an eye, Yuki was the only one left in the entire corridor.

He was bathed in the blood rain, tightly gripping the long sword, listening to the countless wails and roars in his ears, and his red eyes watched the supernatural phenomena that were invisible to the naked eye.

In the remaining two wards, the dark light was condensing into a solid entity, as if someone had eaten Wallace and was about to burst out like vomit.

At the end of the corridor, a deeper and more massive black light was also gathering.

'When the resentment becomes real and is about to affect reality, the demons will emerge from their lair.'

Yuki licked his lips, his eyes swept across the wards that the two players entered, and paused at the door of Zhang Qing's ward.

I got it right.

With a cruel smile, Yuki passed by the door of the ward and swung his long sword, cutting off the condensed black light. A moment later, a headless monster that looked like a deformed baby appeared in the corridor.

It was killed before it was born, and curled up into a ball, screaming.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

A blue magic circuit emerged, and Yuki suddenly accelerated, rushing forward like an arrow, slashing with all his strength at the black light that was about to break through the barriers of reality and be born!
