“…but before attending the banquet, you need to know some rules…” When the man in black robe said this, the players finally reacted and raised their heads.
A deep blue panel appeared in front of everyone.
…
【Final Silver Star Instance】
[Instance name: Castle Exploration]
[Difficulty: 5 Silver Stars (Winner will receive 5 Silver Stars)]
【Number of participants: 9】
[Suggested areas for players to excel in: Intelligence, Luck, and Sharpness. ]
[In the castle, there are clean and tidy corridors and warmly decorated rooms.
As outsiders coming from afar, you will spend three warm and healing nights here...】
…
With a soft "swish" sound, a black feather suddenly appeared in everyone's hands.
Su Mingan took a look and saw a bright red 1 written on his feather.
"Now, all of you should have a feather in your hand." The man in black robe said:
"Your mission is to search the castle, obtain more feathers, and accumulate the number on your hands to 100 points.
At noon on the third day, you can gather in the hall and hand in your feathers. You will win only when the total of all your points reaches 100.
But there are traitors among you who want to deliberately destroy the feathers. They have replaced the original person and are no longer the person you know. They will deliberately destroy the scattered feathers so that you cannot reach 100 points in the end.
Please beware of them and kill them early!
Friendly reminder, when someone dies, the feathers in his/her hand will be automatically destroyed, so please don't hurt innocent people by mistake, so as to avoid the feathers not reaching 100 points in the end. "
After the man in black robe finished explaining the rules, everyone took a while to digest them.
They really didn't expect that this final copy would be a faction cooperation system. They thought they would be fighting each other.
"Excuse me, what is the basis for determining the number of the initial feathers in our hands?" asked Mizushima Kawaseong.
The feather in her hand has the distinct number 3.
The numbers of the people next to them were not big. Among them, Lu and Beiwang had 12, Noel had 18, Herbert and Joey had 3 and 4 points, and Shirley had the highest number, 24 points. Angel's feathers were protected by him and did not show.
"It depends on how kind you are." The man in black robe said, "The more pure and kind you are, the higher the number will be."
Su Mingan stared at the bright red number 1 on his hand and took a look.
...Humph, he's been tricked again.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Ai's feathers, and his eyes suddenly froze.
Xiao Ai protected the feather with her hands so that no one else could see it, but he had already seen it - the number on her feather was 99.
1+99=100, his calculation should not be wrong.
...already won?
What is this copy playing?
"Question: Does the insider know that he is a insider?" Lu raised his hand and said.
"I know." said the man in black robe.
"You just said that one of us was replaced by an insider, so where did the original player go?" Noel asked.
"They naturally have their own way of getting through the customs." said the man in black robe.
"Does the traitor know the personal information of the replaced players and their past?" Shirley asked a crucial question, which would become their method of identifying the traitor.
"This...you guess it yourself." The man in black robe spoke vaguely.
Others wanted to ask more questions, but the man in black robe no longer answered.
He took a step back, his figure blending into the light.
"There are various interesting things in the castle that are related to 'Perfect Clearance'. I look forward to your exploration." The black-robed man bowed his head slightly: "Then - I wish you all a happy vacation."
The fireplace flickered, the fire went out suddenly, and the hall fell into darkness.
Su Mingan immediately turned on his watch and shone the light accurately onto the man in black robe.
This person was still trying to hide in the shadows, but he scored twice and was completely illuminated by the light.
"Don't go yet. Are you related to Captain Feng? Why are you the one who issues the rules of the copy?" Su Mingan asked.
When he mentioned Su Lin in the cave a few days ago, the black-robed man's favorability dropped by 5 points, which means that the black-robed man must know Su Lin and is most likely from Captain Feng's side.
However, the man in black robe did not respond to him and ran very fast, like a mouse with greased feet.
“Ding Dong!”
The system prompt suddenly sounded.
[The game has begun, all contestants begin to teleport randomly——]
…
Su Ming'an grabbed Xiao Ai. His 1 point plus her 99 points meant they won. As long as they waited until the submission stage at noon on the third day, they would win directly.
However, this was a dispersed teleportation, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no one around him.
He looked up and it was pitch black.
Once the lights in the castle went out, everything in sight was pitch black.
A series of "crackling" sounds suddenly sounded, as if something twisted was approaching. Due to the laws of the dark forest, he did not rush to turn on the light, but stood quietly where he was.
But the next moment, his sixth sense in the shadow state suddenly began to sound an alarm, as if something life-threatening was approaching rapidly -!
[You must find the light source as soon as possible, otherwise you will be swallowed by darkness! ! ! ]
A blood-red prompt lit up, and the words looked like they were dripping with blood, which was extremely terrifying in the dark vision.
Su Mingan no longer hesitated and turned on the light.
“Click!”
The next moment, the terrifying feeling of fatal threat immediately faded away, as if some huge shadow flashed at the edge of his vision and disappeared.
He turned his head, but could only catch a glimpse of a vague black shadow and a few low chewing sounds coming from the darkness.
He looked around and found himself in a large room. In the corner there was a bamboo candle basket with three bright red candles and a match in it.
...This should be an initial benefit, if someone doesn't have a flashlight, these candles are their pitiful tiny source of light.
If they hadn't touched the candles before the threat arrived, they would have been dead.
[The self-contained light source is only valid for the first hour, please collect more light sources as soon as possible! ]
The bright red prompt popped up again.
Su Mingan put three candles and matches in his pocket - these things could not be put into the backpack.
He took a step forward, but paused.
At my feet - a purple-black corpse appeared at some point, its skin and flesh rotted and covered with spots, and its hands and feet were as thin and shriveled as spider legs.
The next step he took happened to land on the back of the corpse's hand. With a "crack", thick dark blood covered the soles of his shoes.
“…”
He stared at the horrible corpse.
...This is a [warm and healing] castle vacation.
Sure enough, it is still the familiar world game style.
"——Su Mingan?"
He turned his head and saw a man with sea-blue hair walking in through the small door, holding a red candle dripping with wax.
…
[SAN value: 50 points]
[Number of survivors: 13]
[Su Lin's status: passionately playing in the jungle. ]
