"Originally there wasn't any." The old man responded to him, saying, "But since His Majesty the Silver Knight brought the firewood of the First Flame, everything has changed."

"The firewood of the First Flame's Afterglow? What is that?"

Lu Fang took the opportunity to ask, he felt that now was a critical moment to further explore this world.

If you can complete the side quest 'Deciphering the Mystery of the Decline of Civilization', the reward you get will definitely be extremely generous!

"I can't say that."

The old man looked at him with slightly cloudy eyes, and then said: "Outsiders, please do not try to peek into the secrets of firewood - you just need to know that civilization can continue because of firewood."

"From now on, this tent and the afterglow of the first fire will serve as your shelter."

"Protect it well, otherwise if something happens, no one will be able to help you!"

The old man's words were powerful.

The players stared at the fire and nodded solemnly.

Fire is the only thing that humans in this world can rely on to survive, and it is also the most important thing for players like them to survive and complete their missions.

They have no choice but to be serious!

After saying these words, the old man nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.

The players in the tent fell into silence around the fire.

Outside the tent, amidst the rustling sounds, there were voices of conversation...

"'Gatekeeper', are you really determined to give up your first flame?"

"It's almost time to add new blood to the settlement, isn't it?"

"But..."

"Don't worry, I will personally tell His Majesty the Silver Knight. He will support me. I can see that these people are not ordinary people."

"All right!"

It seemed like the old man was communicating with someone else. Although his voice was very low, the players present were indeed not ordinary people as he said, so they could all hear it.

Everyone in the tent couldn't help but look at each other.

"I always feel like this world is full of hidden secrets!" The man named Zhou Yu who was with Lu Fang couldn't help but say, "We don't even know what the first fire is, and now there's firewood - there can't be such a thing as a firewood king in this world, right?"

"Stop showing off your shallow gaming knowledge!" The female among the three, 'Su Anxiao' rolled her eyes.

The lone player said nothing.

Xiao Se just stood at the edge of the tent, holding his saber.

clap clap clap!

Li Re suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Quiet, quiet!"

"Have you forgotten one question?"

"Now we have answered the key words of fire, shadow, predator and guidance. So what does the last word, 'inside response', mean?"

He successfully drew everyone's attention again.

The players paused slightly when they heard this.

The atmosphere immediately froze.

What does "internal response" mean? As the name suggests - the meaning of this word is actually clear enough!

Chapter 70 Who is the Ghost?

A blazing bonfire bloomed in the air in the center of the tent, the blazing flames swayed and made crackling sounds, and the players' shadows fell on the ground, seeming to sway with the flames.

As Li Re's words came out, the not-so-spacious space inside the tent suddenly became quiet.

Different from the previous analysis.

No matter how important the other keywords are, the content involved will at least not cause internal divisions in this team of players randomly selected from the paradise.

The key word "internal response" is obviously different.

Because that's the same as saying 'there's a mole among us'.

This is also the reason why players all ignored this keyword during the previous discussion.

When faced with missions and survival crises, as long as the "ghost" doesn't jump out to cause trouble, you can indeed skip them.

But now, the survival crisis has been temporarily resolved.

It was only natural that Li Re brought it up.

The players looked at each other with tense expressions and vigilance in their eyes.

They looked at the others warily, and the three people who made up the group, Lu Fang, Zhou Yu, and Su Anxiao, moved closer at the same time.

Li Re and Lu Baixi were still standing together.

The three lone travelers also separated a little.

In the case of an 'insider', everyone else becomes untrustworthy except for those who entered here as a team and received the same mission.

"There is a problem."

Just when everyone was suspicious, Xiao Se suddenly raised her pretty and heroic face from under the brim of her hat, and her deep blue eyes narrowed slightly.

Her clear and cold words rang out: "How can we be sure that the person who said this... is not lying?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Then they all turned their gazes towards the male lone player who said this keyword—

The player's face flushed instantly: "I didn't lie...do I have to lie? If we fail the mission, we will all die!"

"That seems to be true." Lu Fang nodded: "Is there really no need for him to lie?"

"Let's put aside the question of whether it's a lie or not. In this situation, we'd rather believe it than not," Zhou Yu also said.

Xiao Se stopped talking and looked at Li Re who was mentioned first.

Li Re waved his hand: "I will bring it up, of course, on the premise that there is this keyword."

"At least our previous key words have come true, and as he said, there is no need for him to lie."

When saying these words, Li Re's smiling face made Lu Baixi beside him murmur in her heart. She deeply suspected that even if this keyword was fake, Li Re would make it real!

And Li Re indeed thought so.

Li Re continued, "But then again, what does the keyword 'internal response' refer to?"

"Is it an 'insider' sent by an 'illegal player' from the enemy camp of the normal players? Or is it an insider from the hostile forces in the dungeon?"

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the traitor is among our group of players!"

The players at the scene were not stupid, and they quickly understood the meaning of Li Re's words - if it was the former, it would be better. After all, if it was just an "illegal player", then at least the task they received was the same, and in the face of a survival crisis, it was not impossible for them to compromise with each other.

But if it is the latter, the nature is quite different!

"Which one do you think it is?" Xiao Se pondered for a moment and asked again.

As the flames burned more and more fiercely, everyone's eyes were always on Li Re.

They not only believed in Li Re's analytical ability,

I also believe that as a psychic player, he must have a weird perception that is different from ordinary people.

“I think it’s mostly the former!”

Li Re smiled and said, "After all, you all saw the shadow giant's attack just now. If I hadn't taken action at that time, I'm afraid none of you would have been able to walk out of the darkness and come here."

"The Shadow Giant has no intention of holding back on anyone - not to mention, along the way from there to here, if there really are players whose mission objectives are different from ours, then there will be plenty of opportunities for them to take action."

"Apart from anything else, it's normal for one or two lone players to die in the dark, isn't it?"

The two lone players, a man and a woman, looked slightly unhappy.

The others seemed to be thinking about it.

The blonde girl said directly: "So what you mean is..."

"I mean, we can put aside the term 'inside help' for now!" He said, "If we are against the players themselves, then the conflict between us can be resolved after the mission is over-"

"This mission is of great importance. We may also face dangers hidden in the darkness of the entire world. We cannot afford to waste any energy on internal strife!"

Li Re's words were sonorous and powerful.

Everyone present changed color slightly, but when they thought of the power Li Re had just displayed in the darkness after the engine was turned off, they did not dare to refute.

"It seems that you have already thought of a solution before raising this question?"

Xiao Se said expressionlessly.

"That's right." Li Re did not deny it and said lightly: "But this is also the best choice, isn't it?"

“In that case…” Xiao Se closed his eyes slightly: “It’s up to you, as long as you don’t disturb me from completing my mission!”

"I have no objection." Land Defense represented the trio.

The minority obeys the majority.

The two lone travelers hesitated for a moment and could only nod.

At this moment, the fire in the tent seemed to burn more fiercely.

that's it.

Because Li Re took the initiative to put aside the keyword "insider" for the time being, the players in the tent once again returned to their previous state. Li Re and Lu Baixi stood together, the Lu Fang trio still huddled together, and the three lone players also stood on their own sides.

They found a suitable place to stay and at the same time were on guard against other people, and they could never trust other people.

But at least before completing the task, they all seemed to have decided not to deliberately hold others back - this was the best outcome for the players.

No matter what, they can't completely trust unfamiliar players.

But it seemed that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

The girl in military uniform named Xiao Se with blonde hair suddenly stood up from the corner of the tent and said, "It's too stuffy here. I'm going to go out for a walk."

The continuous flames outside enveloped the entire camp.

After understanding how to fight against giants, safety can be guaranteed.

And after Xiao Se got up and left.

Lu Fang then said, "I feel bored too, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. The old man just said that it will soon be time to add firewood. Although I don't know what that is, I think something strange will happen by then - Paradise won't let us have it easy!"

"I have no objection if you go out," Zhou Yu said.

Su Anxiao nodded.

The three also walked out of the tent.

Li Re looked around the tent where only four people were left, and stood up as well—Lu Baixi hurriedly followed.

There were only two people in the last tent.

The two lone players, a man and a woman, looked at each other and remained silent.

"Where are you going?"

After leaving the tent, Lu Baixi couldn't help but shiver slightly due to the oncoming cold air. She looked at the camp in front of her. There were dozens of tents distributed in a circle. They gathered together like a huge altar. Surrounding the center, there was a blazing furnace hanging high up like the scorching sun.

There was a young and strong man guarding the stove.

There were also people coming and going on the road between the tents.

And at this moment,

They were just to the right of the fire.

Lu Baixi blinked, not knowing what Li Re wanted to do...

"I've covered you up, and I'll give you this too. Use this to avoid danger."

After taking only two steps, Li Re suddenly handed a yellow key to the girl, and at the same time covered the girl's face with ghost fog so that the local residents here would not cause a commotion because of her face - just like when she came here before, the girl always hid behind Li Re.
