[Judge] The voice changed the voice, still with an electromagnetic noise, which sounded a little harsh.

Everyone looked at the TV, and saw that [Judge] in a black dress was still sitting on a chair similar to a judge's chair, and the back of the chair was shining red, and the red light fell on his black dress, which looked a little weird.

[Judge] looks at the camera, as if he can see the 12 players in front of the screen through the camera.

Then, he began to announce the rules of the game -

[This game is the 13th round, the 6th game]

[Name of this game: Forest of Revenants]

[The rules of this game: This round of the game is a food chain chase and kill battle]

[All players will be arranged into a food chain, interlocking, each player has an upper and lower position, with the player as the coordinates, the player at the top of the food chain will hunt themselves, and the player at the bottom of the food chain will be hunted by themselves, and the closed-loop relationship between players and players will be formed between the food chain to kill and be killed. 】

[Each player can only hunt players who are lower in their own food chain, and cannot hunt other players.] For example, three players A-B-C form a food chain, player A can hunt player B, and player B can hunt player C, but player A cannot hunt player C beyond player B, nor can he hunt other players. If Player B is killed by Player A, the food chain will be shortened to A-C in order to ensure the integrity of the food chain, and Player A will be eligible to hunt Player C. 】

[The more players are eliminated, the shorter the food chain will be, until the last player remains, the game reaches the end and the game ends.] 】

[If you are ready, please go back to your room, there are two cards in the room, one card indicates the identity of a player in the food chain, and the other card has a reminder of the identity of a player under the food chain, and this information will not be disclosed to other players except the player.] 】

[The system has prepared weapons for players that may be needed in this game, there is a secret passage under the bed in the player's room, the secret passage leads to the woods outside the wooden house, once all players have left the safe house, the second alarm will sound immediately, which means that the game between players has officially begun. 】

[Note: The upper player in the food chain can slaughter the lower player, but the lower player cannot attack his own superior player, and can only choose to defend or escape, otherwise it will be considered a violation of the game rules.] 】

[End of the game: There is only one player left in the game]

[Number of players in this game: 12]

[Game system: single-phase system]

[Hunters will appear in this game]

[Hint: After the third round of alarms sounds, an aggressive unknown organism will appear, the highest level is V+]

【Good luck to all players】

……

After the judge read out the rules of the game, the TV screen flickered and went black.

The 12 people at the scene fell silent again.

For a moment, no one spoke, and everyone was thinking about a new set of rules for the game.

This round of the game is still a killing game between players.

But the restriction rules have changed, and it has become a hunt and kill based on food chain relationships.

"Hmph, it's really a change of way to play Uncle Ben." One-eyed sneered, his eyes full of coldness.

The rules of this game are very straightforward, which is the slaughter of people and people.

No matter how beautiful the game scene is, virtual reality still can't hide its criminal, bloody and cruel nature.

"It seems that today is inevitably another fight......" Lorraine muttered as she looked at everyone present.

She doesn't know where she is in the food chain, who is on the food chain and who is next, but no matter what, she will continue to face the choice between being hunted and hunted.

There will be no end to this hunt.

The game will not be terminated unless there are 12 people killed and only 1 person remains.

She couldn't help but wonder, is this really a humane punishment for repeat offenders?

Let them feel the despair of killing and being killed again and again in the game, and be reborn again and again, and keep staging such cruel scenes, is it really a humane punishment?

If there really is purgatory in this world, it should be the same.

Lorraine sighed silently in her heart, she was suddenly a little angry, outside the [Minghe System], do those who say that they will punish repeat offenders really represent justice? Or is it just hiding the essence of their sin under the mask of hypocrisy, in fact, everyone is filthy. They are just clowns who have been put on the stage, while the really ugly people, the real demons, walk in the world.

"What are you afraid of, this game is a [single-phase system], and it doesn't count the total number of lives, and it doesn't count when you die." The beauty smiled faintly and looked at the duke.

"Are you sarcastic that I've already died once in the [Death] game?" The Duke looked coldly.

The beauty's smile deepened: "No, I'm just a little worried about you, we 'old people' still have two lives, but you lost one life on the cruise ship, and now like those 'newcomers', there is only one life." Partner, stay safe. ”

The Duke snorted coldly, as if he had no intention of accepting the kindness of the beauty's yin and yang weirdness.

"I hope my top player is Ogar." One-eyed said bluntly, "Then I can kill with peace of mind, and I don't have to worry about being killed." ”

"yes, then I hope Ogar is my next player, so that I can kill you if I kill Ojiaer." Icarus said calmly.

Ogar shuddered.

Blackblade glanced at Icarus, "Watch out for the consequences. ”

"Black Blade, even if you protect the calf, you can't guarantee that you and Ogar are neighbors in the food chain." Icarus' sharp golden eyes looked at Blackblade, and there was a chill in his tone, indicating that he didn't like to be threatened.

"Does proximity matter?" "As long as you keep killing, you can shorten the food chain, and the final result will be the same." ”

Black Blade's words offended most of the people present.

His meaning is obvious, if he is Ogar's superior player, then he will definitely protect Ogar's safety, if not, then he will continue to slaughter, slaughter until the food chain is shortened enough for them to be neighbors.

It's a threat, but it's also a warning.

"Black Blade, don't talk big." "Although I am grateful that you saved me on board the Octavian, it does not mean that I will be relentless. ”

"That's right." Mars echoed.

As the two people who seem to be the most powerful among the newcomers, they first refuse to accept the monopoly of old players.

Colin sat at the table, his eyes rolling round.

Truth be told, he doesn't have any advantages.

Unless his next player is Ojiaer, maybe he can still have a chance to score.

Otherwise, he will be the priority target of slaughter.

He looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the taiga, it was a primitive forest, there were no computers or computers in sight, and there seemed to be no hidden rules for decrypting hidden treasures, so to speak, his greatest advantage was completely lost in this game, he was a sheep to the slaughter who fled everywhere.

Arthur looked at Caesar and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "You are not feeling well now, don't force it, even if you are scattered in the game, I will find you as soon as possible, don't worry." ”

Caesar glanced at him, "What if I'm your superior player?" ”

“…… Then take your leave. ”

Arthur lifted his forehead.

Caesar smiled slightly, picked up the cup of milk tea without hurry, and drank it.

The warm milk tea instantly warmed the little belly that was a little uncomfortable, and the whole body warmed up, and the faint pain in the stomach before didn't seem to be so serious.

For a while, everyone was speechless, and they each returned to their rooms.

When Arthur returned to his room, he saw two cards on the round table in the room.

(This is what the judge said about the tip of the food chain?) ）

Arthur walked to the round table and found that on the back of the two cards, there were reminders written in red ink: [Upper Player] [Lower Player].

He first picked up the card with [Player on the Food Chain] written on the back, and when he got closer, he smelled a smell of blood, and he realized that it was not red ink, but ...... Blood.

Turning the card over, I saw a line of writing in blood, the red blood fell on the rough cardboard, absorbed by most of the cardboard, but there was also blood that had not yet coagulated and slid down the angle of the card, dripping at Arthur's feet.

The card read: "Little girl with red eyes"

Arthur felt a chill in his heart.

Sure enough, it was said by Caesar's crow's mouth.

She is really his superior player, red eyes + little girl, such an obvious point of information, only Caesar.

Other words...... He was Caesar's pursuer.

Good fellow, he won't live more than half an hour.

Feeling cold, Arthur put down the card in his hand and picked up another card with the words "Lower Player in the Food Chain" written on the back.

There was also a prompt on that card: [Men in the Big Three of the Upper Circle]

Arthur was a little confused.

There are three of the Big Three in the upper circle: Caesar, Black Blade, and Icarus, Caesar is a woman, and it has been determined that Caesar is his superior player, so which of the two is Black Blade and Icarus is his lower player?

Arthur was silent, tore the two cards apart, and threw them away, scattering the shards like snowflakes.

Turning to the bed, he leaned down, lifted the white sheets on the bed, and saw the wooden planks under the sheets, there was a gap between the planks, he put his hand into the gap, moved the plank away, and saw many weapons neatly placed under the plank! Before, he had been wondering why the bed was in the shape of a rectangular wooden box, but now he understood that it was not a bed at all, but really a box, and what was in the box was a weapon. There are two floors in this small arms arsenal, the first layer is various types of daggers, various models of pistols, and the second layer is larger guns such as submachine guns, sniper rifles, HK416 automatic rifles, light machine guns, carbines, etc., for different players to choose from.

Arthur crouched down, looking at the daggers on the first floor, one of which sounded familiar to him - recalling the dagger that Caesar had thrown into the door panel when he knocked on Caesar's door.

The dagger was exactly the same as the one in front of me now.

Arthur picked up the dagger, and looked at the cold light on the dagger, and he frowned slightly.

(All players' arsenals are the same?) ）

(That is, Caesar had already discovered the secret of an arsenal under the bed.) ）

(But she never mentioned it, and if it hadn't been for [the judge], it would have been difficult for others to find out for a while...... ）

(If this game is a log cabin to kill each other, then we, who are one step behind in discovering weapons, are certainly not Caesar's opponents, and it is a matter of three times and five divided by two by her...... ）

Arthur suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

That little girl, it's terrifying.

She has never been a talker, and no one knows what she is planning or secrets.

In fact, she is the most wary person.

She was calculating everyone else all the time.

She's on guard, she's peeping, she's watching.

Always keep a hole card for yourself, only in this way can you ensure that you are invincible at any time.

Arthur couldn't help but think of what Caesar had said in the police station when they first met-

[They are watching you from the dark]

[Observe you, spy on you]

[I want to find a moment when you are unguarded and kill you]

……

Is this sentence talking about the one-eyed who was ambushed outside the police station at the time, or herself?

Arthur sighed, stood up, and chose a knife, two pistols, a folding carbine.

After equipping himself, he opened the second layer of the arsenal, and saw that below the second layer of the arsenal, there was a corridor, winding through the darkness, leading to an unknown place.

After all the players left the safe house along the secret passage in the room, a second alarm sounded in the woods.

【Warning】

[The player's killing game officially begins]
