The second person appeared at the alley. He looked very stylish in his white cloak and a smiley mask, looking very much like Kaito Kid.
It couldn't be him. Instead, it was more likely that he was playing up the contrast.
The third and fourth veteran players stepped into the square almost at the same time, and they were not too far apart.
The former wore a black suit, leather gloves, a goatee, sunglasses, and his gray hair was meticulously groomed, just like the mafia in the movies. He held a katana in his hand and appeared calm and silent.
The latter was completely the opposite, wearing a somewhat exaggerated large-flowered shirt, a thick gold chain, and looking at him with an irritable look, looking like someone with a low level of education.
'Gangsters and ruffians, a good combination.'
Yuki shifted his gaze and looked at the fifth veteran player who arrived. This person was dressed even more strangely, like a clown working in an amusement park, with colorful hair and thick oil paint on his face.
He quickly looked around and saw Yuki looking at him, then he placed his right hand on his chest and saluted.
Everyone in the group is weird. No one is dressed normally. Only the gangster didn't cover his face, but who can guarantee that it's not a human skin mask?
In the reincarnation game, if the player panel is not revealed, you cannot judge people by their appearance. Some players will even turn into the face of your enemy to mislead you.
Wary gazes collided and no one spoke. Fortunately, after experiencing this once, Yuki had gotten used to it and didn't feel embarrassed, as someone would break the silence anyway.
Sure enough, a minute later, the ruffian snorted and walked to the middle of the square with his hands in his pockets.
"Okay, you guys are bored every time you enter the game because you encounter a mute." The ruffian stood with his right hand pointing at himself, "My name is Pan Zi, if we can cooperate, then we will cooperate, if we can't, then we will fight, be straightforward."
All eyes turned to look over, but no one paid any attention to him. Yuki squinted his eyes and observed every detail, trying to find out if any of the five players were working as a team.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you not only dumb but also deaf? You're ready to start the movie before you even hear the prompt, right?"
The voice became violent, and the clown walked over, swinging several sandbags in the air as he walked.
"I'm the Joker."
"I'm asking you for a code name, just make one up!"
"But my name is Joker."
Pan Zi blinked and shook his hands in annoyance: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want, what about you?"
"Black Sword." The gray-haired swordsman uttered two words and walked over as well.
"Tsk, you're a show-off." Pan Zi grinned with disdain, as if he hated this kind of person.
Someone responded, and the remaining "female knights" and "phantom thieves" also took a step forward and reported their code names.
The former called himself "Moon Bow", which was obviously a code name plagiarized from the swordsman on the spot, while the latter simply called himself "Phantom Thief", saying it skillfully and calmly, obviously he used it frequently.
"It's hard to tell who is on the team. Either the senior has outstanding acting skills, or they have worked together many times and are already very good at it."
'If it's not a coincidence, the female knight's qualifications should be very shallow. It's a bit like she was quick-witted and didn't expect the old players to meet in advance and introduce each other. Or it's more famous, and the player's name can't be used directly.'
"The thief should be young, and like me, he carefully observes others when they announce their names, so he should be a lone wolf."
After a simple self-introduction, Yuki discovered a lot of information and quickly went through it in his mind.
Pan Zi, the Joker, the Black Sword, the Moon Bow, the Phantom Thief.
We can’t analyze much from the codes alone, and there’s no regularity, but it feels like everyone has their own unique skills.
At this time, all eyes were focused on him, and he was the only one among the six veteran players who remained silent.
"Hey, you can at least make up one." Pan Zi raised his finger. His aggressive attitude made people feel uncomfortable.
Is this place called Yaduo Town?
Yuki saw the road sign at the edge of the square and introduced himself in a magnetic voice, like an elite office worker:
"My name is Li Dan, please take care of me."
Li Dan?
This code is obviously different from the others, and it exudes a kind of sincerity, just like the feeling of a real estate agent trying to trick you into buying a house.
Scrutiny, interest, indifference.
After Yuki finished speaking, he savored the gaze, then felt a little disappointed that he didn't run into anyone Li Dan knew.
He wasn't joking when he stole other people's names. If he was lucky enough and ran into an old 'acquaintance', he might get some unexpected gains. Besides, it wouldn't cause any trouble to the dead.
"Okay, come over here. The newcomers haven't arrived yet. There's no point in acting in front of us." The ruffian boy waved his hand and waited for Yuki to come over for a while before saying:
"It looks like there are only six of us. There are no other veteran players. Tsk, are you all okay?"
His thoughts were a little jumpy, but Yuki knew what he wanted to say, just like Senior Mai pretending to be a noob in the hospital.
A novice who has only experienced one copy will ask why it is certain that there are only six veteran players, and then the secret will be exposed.
"Damn, no wonder everyone likes to pretend to be dumb. If they don't speak, they won't make mistakes, right?" Pan Zi cursed and glanced at the rest of the people one by one. Just when he was about to pick two people to question, he heard a gentle voice.
"The gathering time in the dungeon is related to the environment. Now that the bell has stopped, the gathering time for veteran players has ended. If you choose to hide, you must bear the consequences."
Pan Zi turned his head and looked with an unfriendly look, and the others also turned their heads. Everyone was not stupid and understood that Pan Zi played the villain in order to force out the rookie.
It doesn’t matter who is the strongest, just identify the weakest first.
But Li Dan has answered all the questions, so what should I ask next?
"Are you a goody-goody?"
"I'm sorry, I'm used to serving customers, so I wanted to answer the question as soon as I knew it," Yuki bowed slightly again, leaving all the players speechless.
At least he is not a rookie, and his actions seem deliberate, as if he is covering for his teammates?
These players reacted very quickly. If they were a little slower, they would have been exposed. Moreover, Pan Zi dared to jump out as the bad guy, so he must have a lot of experience.
Different thoughts flashed through their minds, and on that sunny noon, the old players' first conversation was cloudy and strange.
Now every player is more cautious. Yuki copied Li Dan's "good guy" persona and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
"This instance is very strange. It seems like we are always in the plot."
There was no one in the square, but the residents at the alley were curious about the players in their strange costumes.
"It's a common thing. Haven't you encountered it before?" The thief suddenly spoke, his voice a little lazy.
"No, I've always been ignored or hunted down in the past. This is the first time I've been treated like a monkey." Yuki shook his head and answered honestly.
There was a subtle change in his eyes. If he was not lying intentionally, it proved that he was an old player, but his experience was not too deep, at least he did not have much experience.
"I haven't experienced it either. It should be a matter of probability." The female knight spoke next, her voice cold and emotionless.
"I've encountered this kind of copy before. It means that the prompts later will allow us to deeply participate in the plot. Everyone should be mentally prepared."
"Can you explain more?"
"That's exactly what it means." The thief shook his head slightly and kindly advised, "The difficulty lies in the dungeon. Don't do unnecessary things and don't always think about the chaos items in other players' hands."
"Yes, we should unite. Don't be fooled by my appearance. I am actually kind to others."
He showed his kindness, but only Yuki thanked him, while the others were either in a daze or looked on with disdain.
Without the duet between the senior and Hayasaka, Yuki had some trouble testing the players. Fortunately, not long after the bell stopped, the roar of an engine was heard in the distance.
The old players turned their heads and saw a yellow-painted bus coming on the road from the south, which was very conspicuous on the empty road.
"New people are here, who among you will go?" Black Sword, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to do such troublesome things. Being entangled by newcomers would always hinder them, unless they needed to unite their strength.
According to the settings of the reincarnation game, you will gain enhancement points and characteristics after passing the first stage. You can use them to have a fighting chance, and you may even be noticed by an old player with the support of an organization.
The clown who had been playing with sandbags nearby stopped and was about to make a move, but before he could open his mouth, Yuki had already taken the lead.
"I'll do it."
"Okay, you're a goody-goody, go ahead." Pan Zi waved his hand indifferently.
The character is continuously built, and then corresponding choices will be made based on the character. Yuki really went there excitedly, and he didn't have to walk far, because there was a bus stop next to the square.
He was very curious. Even if the reincarnation game liked to take human lives lightly, there should be a limit.
'My novice mission is Bloodthirsty Red Moon. Although it is ridiculously difficult, it is mostly due to coincidence. Judging from the player's experience alone, Li Dan's three copies are the limit.'
Under normal circumstances, the difficulty of a dungeon should be determined by the strongest player among the players. For example, this time there are six veteran players, and it feels like there are many strong players. The luck of the newcomers in this dungeon is too bad.
He had no answer, firstly because he was born unlucky, and secondly because the difficulty of the reincarnation game was dynamic.
If six veteran players now formed an alliance and worked together to complete the dungeon, it would definitely be many times easier than the Devil's Hospital, and the newcomer could just rely on their strength to get through it.
But the problem is-
This is impossible.
Chapter 2 The Judge (Part 1)
Unity? Union? Impossible.
In the reincarnation game, PVE and PVP each account for half. If players really want to push the dungeon with all their strength, they shouldn't set the difficulty to hell when the number of team members is too large.
Squeak.
Just as he was thinking about it, the bus stopped in front of him. Yuki frowned immediately and found that it was slightly different from the Demon Hospital.
That time, the newlyweds came up one by one in the elevator, but this time there was more than one on the bus. When the door opened, three people got off one by one.
There were two men and one woman, all around 20 years old, dressed in rags, as if they had suffered horrible torture.
Yuki didn't see any familiar faces, and felt a little disappointed, but also a little calm.
He now has experience in two dungeons, and is definitely not the most experienced one. Does this mean that 'guiding newbies' will also become difficult?
"Just you three?"
The three men looked at each other, all of them were pale. The first one had a square face, fair skin, and was wearing a police uniform from an unknown country. Due to his profession, he was relatively calm.
"No, there were many, but they all died on the way."
He described it in a trembling voice, saying that he was inexplicably thrown into an abandoned school, and then some people in grey robes appeared and started hacking and killing people without any explanation.
Some people died before they could react, and the rest ran away desperately and got on the bus after a fight.
"I had limited bullets and couldn't protect so many people. Rebecca rushed into the enemy group with an oil barrel and set it on fire. That's how the three of us escaped."
Yuki didn't know who Rebecca was, but he knew that she must have good qualities since she had the courage to sacrifice herself, and he gradually figured out what she meant.
The novice guidance has indeed become more difficult, and it is not like Bloodthirsty Red Moon or Devil's Hospital, which are each in an independent space. In other words, newcomers go through purgatory without the old players.
No wonder he looked so embarrassed, but not as confused as the newbies before. He was carefully selected. And the difficulty increased, but also gave him a way out. At least when he was guiding the newbies, he only had a scalpel.
Yuki glanced at the three men again, lingering for a moment on the pistol on the police officer's waist.
"Thank you for your hard work. My name is Li Dan. What's your name?"
"Rick, this is Pinto and the girl's name is Kanon." The police officer introduced them one by one. The red-haired young man and the black-haired girl wearing masks nodded slightly in greeting and then closed their mouths tightly.
This was obviously discussed on the way here, and the team was formed before entering the dungeon. Yuki knew that sticking together for warmth during the rookie period was the most solid.
"I can't understand why I was thrown into the reincarnation game?"
"Yes, but I just want to live for Rebecca." The man's eyes were full of sadness, but he was more determined than any newcomer Yuki had ever seen. After a short pause, he asked tentatively:
"Mr. Li Dan, I don't understand why the reincarnation game tortures us. Only three people survived among dozens of people. Aren't they afraid that we will all be wiped out?"
Now I start to think about the content of the game, and it is indeed of good quality.
Yuki thought about it and realized that regardless of whether there was any factor involved or not, as the dungeon went deeper, newcomers would have to endure this torture.
This might be luck, just like in Bloodthirsty Red Moon, which should have been of average difficulty, but met newcomers like myself and Li Dan, but in essence it was something more cruel:
No one knows how many copies are being carried out at the same time. Some are very smooth and all members survive, some are only survived by a few people, and some new and old players are wiped out together.
If it is really a selection, it requires fools to transform slowly, and it also requires elites with both luck and strength.
So what if the whole group is wiped out? It's just a few dozen lives. Even if you add "ten thousand" at the end, it's still a drop in the ocean among human beings.
Only veteran players have human rights, and they can also fall at any time and anywhere.
Having already killed ten players, Yuuki, with blood on his hands, patted the other player on the shoulder and told him the final answer:
“He is not afraid, nor does he care.”
It was a cruel answer, and it made Rick's throat well up, as if he felt the deepest malice in the world. He watched Yuki leave and followed him woodenly.
......
Six old players and three newcomers, this ratio is quite distorted.
