"I'll go in and give it a try."
"Then I'll give it a try!"
Jiang Ran looked at Lin Zhi, then extended a hand.
Do you have any paper? Can I borrow one?
"Oh well!"
Although she didn't know why Jiang Ran wanted to borrow the paper, Lin Zhi quickly pulled a napkin from her pocket and handed it to Jiang Ran.
"Hmm, you didn't meet the requirements before, but you do now."
Jiang Ran returned the paper to Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was somewhat confused by his actions, but when she turned her head to look at the three sentences on the door again, she suddenly understood something!
Those who uphold justice are welcome to enter.
[Those who help the vulnerable may enter]
Those who punish evil and uphold justice may enter.
With Jiang Ran's reminder about borrowing paper, Lin Zhi finally understood what he meant!
The three sentences above are indeed related to identity, but they don't say that they are only related to one's own identity!
Jiang Ran's current identity is "Beggar". Before the two exchanged identity cards, Lin Zhi was also "Beggar" in the previous round!
Isn't "beggar" a perfect synonym for weakness?
Therefore, Jiang Ran, who draped a coat over Lin Zhi in the previous round, and Lin Zhi, who lent Jiang Ran paper in this round, both fulfilled the second requirement: [Helping the weak]!
Helping the weak only requires meeting the two conditions of being both helped and being weak, but it doesn't specify what kind of help should be provided, so there's a lot of room for maneuver!
Meanwhile, Jiang Ran killed the Octopus Head, who was a [Prisoner], in the previous round, which perfectly fulfilled the requirement of [Punishing the Evil and Eliminating the Wicked].
There was also a strange figure outside the door whose strength and identity were unknown. Jiang Ran would never leave Lin Zhi, an ordinary girl, here. That would be no different from sending a lamb to the slaughter.
The well-dressed man simply smiled at the two of them and made no further move.
When Jiang Ran entered, he paid special attention to the words on the door, and just as he expected, the last two lines of words lit up.
The two entered the room. Including Jiang Ran and Lin Zhi, there were four people in the room. Besides the one who came in before them, "Justice," there was another person dressed in an even more peculiar way!
He was covered from head to toe in thick armor, not in the Western style, but rather in the style of Tang Dynasty general's armor, which made him look exceptionally imposing!
Even just staring into his eyes sends chills down your spine!
Could his identity card be "General"? This identity card inevitably brings to mind the "Chariot" card, which is number seven!
"I have to thank you for arriving so quickly." The "Justice" smiled slightly. "After ten minutes, I won't be satisfied with your request."
He was only able to enter this place because of his special identity, so as soon as his identity changes, he will be ruthlessly kicked out of the room.
"I don't know if this is your first time here, but anyone who can get in here is definitely not an ordinary person." [Justice] laughed. "My name is Kroni, and I hope you won't compete with me for the position of city lord."
"Don't worry, let's make friends here today. If you encounter any trouble after we leave, I will definitely do my best to help you!"
Competing for the position of city lord? Wow, it seems this game has a much deeper meaning than Jiang Ran imagined!
[Rule Twelve: Try to avoid conflicts with the native inhabitants. It's best not to meet the city lord in any way. If you unfortunately do meet him, then absolutely do not speak to him.]
Is the position of city lord currently vacant, and we need to rely on this game to select the next city lord?
This also explains why the old man said there were many important people here, and it explains why so many people still come to play despite the danger of death inside!
Of course, the position of city lord is not necessarily vacant, but it will be passed on after the next city lord is selected. This brings up a problem for Jiang Ran.
Would the current city lord give up his position so easily?
That's impossible; he'll definitely come and fight for it!
Therefore—Jiang Ran might encounter the city lord in the game! And according to the rules, the city lord is an absolutely dangerous person!
"What's the point of saying all this?" The General stared at Kloni with hostility. "Or do you think the position of city lord is something you can just say?"
"No, no, not at all." Kroni smiled. "I just thought that since you can't possibly beat me anyway, you might as well just admit defeat and make a dignified exit. Of course, I genuinely consider you all my friends!"
It's so genuine... so incredibly genuine.
What are you two thinking?
Kloni then looked at Jiang Ran and Lin Zhi.
The two of them naturally couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it then," Kloni shrugged. "We'll just have to see who comes out on top in the game."
"You should have stopped your nonsense a long time ago."
A light shone from the ceiling, a round lamp turned on, and projected its light onto the table.
Several lines of large characters appeared on the table—
This mini-game uses an elimination system.
The game ends when only one player remains at the table who is eligible to continue. That player wins and gains three chances to change the candle's position, corresponding to the current roles of the other three players.
There are indeed other ways to change the candle flame!
The automatic acquisition of the candlelight transformation opportunity corresponding to the identity at the end of the round requires that the identity matches both systems, that is, the winner matches the winner, and the loser matches the loser.
Apart from these, no other method has this limitation!
Leaving aside Lin Zhi's identity for the moment, since she is in the same position as Jiang Ran (rank zero), the most important thing in winning this round of the game is to obtain the opportunity to change the candle flames corresponding to the other two players.
[Round 1: Everyone, please reveal your identity card.]
Everyone needs to guess the order of the other three people's identities; guessing incorrectly results in elimination.
Guessing the order of the other people's identities? Jiang Ran could only say it was difficult, but not much.
If you only guess based on appearance, it would be really difficult to figure it out. If it weren't for that first sentence when he entered, he wouldn't have been able to guess Kloni's true identity.
But since they've already revealed their identities, what's there to be wrong with?
So this first round might just be a setup, letting them become more familiar with the identities of the remaining three people, which could potentially influence the course of the game!
"Such simple rules, what are you still thinking about?" The man in the general's uniform slammed his identification badge on the table. "Stop dawdling, if you're a man, hurry up!"
Jiang Ran looked at his ID card.
[General]
Just as Jiang Ran had guessed!
Jiang Ran felt that there was no need to hide his tattered clothes. The earlier the rank, the less confidentiality there was, and basically everyone would know about them.
So he and Lin Zhi readily showed their identity cards.
Finally, there's the question of Klonny's identity.
