Chapter 516 The First Day (5K big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)
A bunch of strange messages were written on the ceiling. What caught Lin Yi's attention the most was a string of warnings written in blood. Those short sentences revealed a deep warning.
"Subsequent players, do not trust anyone in the third-level game. Even your brothers who fight alongside you, or your lovers who spend life and death with you, are temporarily doubtful. Likewise, warn them not to trust anyone at this moment. I have to trust you. This is the advice I have condensed with my life. Only strength can gain a foothold. Alice's clone is not invincible."
These blood-red writings were hidden on the ceiling, and they could only be seen when Lin Yi was lying on the bed.
Previously, when Lin Yi stepped into the room, he had a cursory look around, but he did not notice any traces of these bloody words.
Obviously, the previous contractors had done their best to leave this vital information for those who came after.
Lin Yi glanced at the bloody words on the ceiling and felt a little clearer.
At night, Alice will kill randomly like a werewolf in the Werewolf game, but her power is not as irresistible as in the game.
Words in Scarlet clearly mentions that Alice's clone is not invincible.
The contractors who come here are all third-level contractors who have exceeded 80 attribute points. It can be speculated that Alice's clone is likely to be subject to similar restrictions, with all attributes sealed at around 80 points.
In this case, as long as the clone's skills are not extremely powerful, Lin Yi feels that he has the ability to compete with Alice's clone.
And the most important point is that Alice can replace any contractor.
He wasn't sure if the replacement would transfer the memory as well.
If Alice can inherit the memory of the person being replaced, she will have an absolute advantage in this game and can be said to be almost invulnerable.
"No, there is another strategy!" An idea flashed in Lin Yi's mind and he quickly opened his character interface.
[Occupation: Doctor of the Abyss (only)]
You must know that Lin Yi's profession is not only unique in Samsara Paradise, but also unique in the entire void.
Except for Hill, no one has the same career as him, which becomes an excellent way for Lin Yi to verify his identity.
As long as he can demonstrate the unique skills of his profession, he can immediately prove his true identity.
In the same way, Su Xiao's identity as a law destroyer is also very easy to verify.
Whether it's the unique energy of the Green Steel Shadow or Su Xiao's blue eyes, they are the unique symbols of the Shadow of Destruction and cannot be imitated by ordinary professions.
Therefore, Lin Yi quickly thought of a plan. He and Su Xiao only needed to show their unique skills or characteristics to quickly rule out their suspected identities.
Just as Lin Yi was thinking, the beep of Samsara Paradise sounded again.
[Tip: The third game of Devil's Castle begins. 】
[The content of the third game is: Who is Alice? 】
[When drawing the room number card, there are already contractors who have been drawn and qualified to directly pass this round of the game. The drawing method through the qualification number is random. 】
[Alice has disguised herself as the contractor. If you find Alice, you can pass this round of the game. 】
[This round of the game is a night/day system. The night lasts for 2 hours and the day lasts for 1 hour. During the day, players can move freely. During the night, they can only stay in the room corresponding to the card number. 】
[The total length of day + night is three hours. This is one game day. This game will end after seven game days. If Alice is not found before then, the game will fail. 】
[After the game fails, Butler Wolf will arrive on the third floor and eliminate all contractors on the third floor, including the lucky contractor who passed the third floor game. 】
[The first contractor who is lucky enough to pass the third level will provide a small amount of information on the third and seventh day. This information has no identity features, no facial features, etc., and is in the form of patterns. 】
[Tip: The hunter has the right to question who Alice is once. If the question succeeds, the game ends. If the question fails, the game continues. 】
[Tip: The right to challenge can only be used when all surviving players are present, and must be during the day. During each day, all players can challenge only once. 】
[Tip: After Alice disguises herself as a contractor, she will temporarily obtain all the memories of this contractor. 】
[Tip: The pretender is Alice's clone, all five attributes are 80 points, and the skill level is LV40! 】
[The game starts on: the first day. 】
Lin Yi's prediction was verified, Alice's clone was indeed restricted by the rules.
According to Lin Yi's estimation, it had only been a few hours since he entered the room. Obviously, the passage of time in the third game did not seem to follow the regular change of day and night.
After arranging his clothes, Lin Yi got up from the bed, opened the door and walked out of the room.
The moment the door opened, he heard the sound of opening doors one after another. He looked up and saw that the contractors in other rooms were also coming out one after another.
Those who can participate in this game are all third-level contractors, and their physical strength is naturally far higher than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, going without sleep for even a few days is nothing but a piece of cake for them.
"Mystery games? That suits my taste very well." The little detective adjusted the peaked cap on her head to look like Detective Sherlock Holmes.
"Judging from the information currently available, Alice should be among us." The man with gold-rimmed glasses glanced at the people around him. His eyes stayed on Su Xiao for a moment, but in the end he shook his head, as if Denying some of his own conjectures.
"This may not just be a reasoning game." Catwoman interjected, "but more like a elimination game." Her words revealed her wariness against everyone.
"How to say it?"
The third player in the national football team was obviously confused.
"If it is a pure reasoning game, then there is no need to distinguish between day and night, only day is enough. So, what is the meaning of the existence of the night? I think the dark night means that it is not safe even in the room. This is In Alice's castle, she can enter and exit all rooms freely. In the dark, she can enter the room to kill people. The five attributes are all 80 points, and the same is true for all skills. It only takes a few game days to increase the number of people. Dramatically reduced." Catwoman's face was quite ugly. Obviously, she was not good at this type of game.
"That's not right." Detective Little Loli retorted resolutely. She had been very active from the beginning of the game.
"This is actually a reasoning game. The dark night is just a smoke bomb. If someone really dies in the dark night, Alice can also pretend to be the dead person, hide in the room all the time, and only come out to kill people in the dark night. She can mix in among the living people, and also kill people in the dark night. She can blend in with the dead. It is easier for the dead to conceal her identity than the living people who often appear in the daytime." Detective Little Loli seemed to have entered a special mode and became very confident.
“Let’s not go into these details first, let’s summarize the rules of the game.”
The man with gold-rimmed glasses walked towards the living room below. Soon, ten people were gathered around the sofa. It was impossible for Alice to take action during the day.
At this time, Lin Yi raised his hand, attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, I have a way to prove my identity and Bai Ye's."
Sure enough, after Lin Yi said these words, all the contractors looked at Lin Yi.
Alice, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but frown. She was going to carefully observe Lin Yi's next move to see what tricks he could do.
"Now we can't be sure whether Alice will inherit her memory after disguising herself as someone, so the people around us are untrustworthy. However, there is one thing that Alice cannot disguise, and that is her professional characteristics." Lin Yi elaborated his point of view.
"Profession?"
"Yes, it is a profession. There are some special skills in my inherited profession. These skills cannot be used by others. In other words, if others try to use them, they will face great risks or even death. This is something that Alice cannot Pretended." Lin Yi explained.
Lin Yi's explanation was recognized by the detective girl and the man with gold-rimmed glasses. They nodded to express their agreement with Lin Yi's statement.
In fact, all third-level contractors have understood the importance of profession, but some of them have not yet encountered a suitable profession.
However, some special skills are indeed unique to each profession and cannot be imitated or replaced by other professions.
"Then, let me prove my identity first."
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, a faint jet black shield immediately appeared around him, and at the same time, a soldier from the Black Shadow Corps also appeared beside him.
"Let me try."
A pale golden pistol appeared in Pi Pang's hand and he pointed the gun at Lin Yi.
Others didn't seem surprised by Pi Pang's behavior.
With the sound of a gunshot, a bullet quickly shot towards Lin Yi's shield.
The bullet stayed on the shield in front of Lin Yi for a second and then fell to the ground without making any waves.
"No problem, the doctor's identity has been successfully verified." Pi Pang nodded. You must know that the pistol in his hand is a +13 light golden pistol. Only Lin Yi's invincible shield can resist this attack so easily.
Most invincible skills are inherited from professions, and few people will have such skills in the early stage.
Coupled with the appearance of the Black Shadow Corps, Lin Yi's identity was undoubtedly further confirmed.
Therefore, now everyone can be basically sure that Lin Yi is not Alice.
"Very good, this way we have eliminated one target. Is there anyone else who can identify himself?" Detective Little Loli had a smile on her face. Lin Yi's actions greatly helped her reasoning work.
"Let me try." Su Xiao said, a light blue light flashing in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the Dragon-Slaying Flash in Su Xiao's hand was attached with a layer of jumping Qinggang Shadow energy. This is the unique characteristic of Qinggang Shadow and is difficult to be imitated or disguised by others.
"I'm familiar with this."
After seeing this scene, the third player in the national football team immediately recalled the scene where he was chased and hacked by Su Xiao on Judiciary Island.
The three of them had shared Su Xiao's information, so they all knew how terrifying Su Xiao's knife was.
The third player in the national football team stretched out his arm, and Su Xiao gently held the knife, leaving a shallow wound on his arm.
Although the wound was not deep, the third player in the national football team had a twisted expression on his face. Without him, it was too painful.
"It hurts so much. This feeling, yes, it's really you, Brother Bai Ye." The third player in the national football team shouted while covering his arm while confirming Su Xiao's identity.
Seeing this scene, the second player and the boss of the national football team also nodded, expressing their recognition of Su Xiao's identity.
With the knife that can burn mana and the extreme pain, Su Xiao is the only one in the entire paradise. Even Alice cannot have the ability to destroy the shadow of magic.
"Very good, now we have eliminated two suspects. Is there anyone else who can prove his identity?" Detective Little Loli looked around and looked at the remaining contractors expectantly.
Pi Pang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have no special profession, and no unique skills to show. But I can adapt the game for you to prove my identity." He proposed a unique way of self-certification.
Those who dare to prove themselves at this time are those who have enough confidence in their own strength and are not afraid of Alice's visit at night.
Whether it is Lin Yi or Su Xiao, all attributes have reached 80 points, and their core skills have almost reached LV40. If Alice really comes to visit, the two of them are really not afraid.
As for Pi Pang, his profession makes Pi Pang's frankness and blood volume very exaggerated. In addition, the paradise coins earned by Pi Pang from making games allowed Pi Pang to buy a lot of potions that can improve his attributes, so Pi Pang also Don't be afraid of Alice.
Even if you can't beat him, it's always okay to stay for one night.
"This is also a way."
You must know that making games is not a simple craft. Even if Alice really has Pi Pang's memory, she can only know what backdoors Pip Pang left when making games before.
This time, what Pi Pang proposed was to change the game based on the original one, which was not much simpler than programming a new game from scratch.
Lin Yi's eyes lit up after hearing Pi Pang's words, and he quickly took out the tablet.
"What functions do you want to add?" Pi Pang took the tablet from Lin Yi, raised his head and asked.
"Simple, add me a Wind Spirit Moon Shadow function, and let me fight back when I encounter monsters. I want them to know what cruelty is." Obviously, Lin Yi wanted to experience invincibility in the game Pleasure, taking revenge on the monsters who had tortured him.
After hearing this, Pi Pang shook his head helplessly, thinking that this was another child who was tortured by games to the point of going crazy.
Then everyone saw that Pi Pang didn't know what he was doing, and the game interface turned into a series of characters.
After Pi Pang entered this interface, his hand speed was as fast as opening and closing, and he couldn't stop.
Everyone only saw a series of afterimages, and then a lot of unintelligible strings appeared on the tablet.
Five minutes later, Pi Pang re-run the game and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi took the tablet and found an icon in the upper right corner. He clicked it and saw that it was the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Modifier he had dreamed of.
He did not hesitate to increase all the values to the maximum, and at the same time turned on the enemy function.
At this moment, Lin Yi's game character had a long sword in his hand, and the originally boring puzzle game instantly turned into an exciting action game.
No matter what kind of monster he faces, Lin Yi can easily defeat the enemy with one move.
"Okay, no problem."
Lin Yi played for a while and nodded to everyone, indicating that Pi Pang's identity was true.
This time, three out of ten people have proved themselves successful.
The remaining seven people looked at each other, all looking helpless.
They do not have special skills or items to directly prove their identities like Lin Yi, Su Xiao and Pi Pang.
At this time, Pi Pang, Su Xiao and Lin Yi were sitting side by side on the sofa, while the others were scattered in different corners of the room.
The trio's identities have been conclusively confirmed, so they naturally distance themselves from the as-yet-unidentified individuals.
"It's very good." Detective Little Loli analyzed optimistically, "On the first day of the game, we have successfully eliminated the identities of three people. In the normal game process, this means that the good guys camp has already taken advantage of the situation. Status. In the next seven days, we have seven more opportunities to exercise our right to question. Even if we only reveal the true identity of one suspect each day, we are already guaranteed to win this game."
After listening to Little Loli's analysis, everyone agreed with her point of view.
With Lin Yi and the others showing their good guy cards, all they have to do is reveal the identities of the others one by one in order.
There may be one or two unfortunate victims in the process, but overall, a few people are invincible in this game.
"Since we don't have any clear clues yet," Lin Yi suggested, "then let's start questioning one by one from other people."
Everyone thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
It's the first day of the game, and there's really a lack of solid evidence to directly deduce Alice's identity.
Therefore, following Lin Yi's suggestion, several people decided to start from scratch and gradually eliminate everyone's suspicion.
"I agree."
"I agree too."
As others nodded in agreement, Lin Yi used his questioning authority on player No. 4, the detective little Lolita.
[Announcement: Gamer No. 1 used the questioning authority against Gamer No. 4, but the challenge failed. Gamer No. 4 is not Alice in disguise. 】
This is a reminder from Samsara Paradise. Even if Alice has great magical powers, she cannot deceive Paradise. Otherwise, Samsara Paradise will not teleport the contractor to the castle.
"Okay, now my identity is confirmed as a good person, and Alice is among you."
After being questioned by Lin Yi, the detective little Loli came to the sofa where the three of them were.
Because Su Xiao's momentum was too frightening, the detective girl hesitated for a moment and did not dare to sit between Su Xiao and Pi Pang. Instead, she sat on Lin Yi's right hand side and leaned against Lin Yi.
This time, the expression of the man with gold-rimmed glasses became serious.
Daylight time in the game only lasts for one hour, and now it's been 49 minutes.
However, everyone is in a pretty good mood at the moment. With nearly half of the suspects eliminated in one day, this game can be said to be a sure win.
Alice's doppelgänger may seem powerful, but she actually needs to be very cautious.
Everyone present is a contractor who has experienced life and death for a long time, and among them there are even more hunters who are good at hunting. As long as she shows the slightest clue, even a wrong look, she will be caught on the spot.
Lin Yi has already noticed two unusual candidates, but now is not the time to alert others.
As the first day came to an end, everyone returned to their rooms to prepare for the night ahead.
