"Now that my mission is complete... It's time to start investigating," Adam prepared his belongings. He also replaced the bandage on his shoulder wound and treated the cuts on his fingers.
After preparing his belongings, including arrows and bow, knife, a bag containing Rabbit Pendant meat, and Blue Fox, he couldn't track other players using the minimap, which meant he had to search for other players manually.Just as he exited the cave and descended from the rocks, Adam already heard strange noises coming from the forest. "Is that coming from the forest?" Adam followed the source of the noise.And a hundred meters away, Adam saw a woman wearing yellow-striped sportswear with short shoulder-length hair chopping down a pine tree. However, instead of using the sharp side of the axe, she was using the blunt side.It was Elly, and she was alone."What is she doing?" Adam was clearly puzzled by Elly's actions.Elly seemed so focused oIndeed, something as simple as chopping down a tree is indeed simple, but behind it, it is also a big clue. Elly herself stated that it was part of her mission.Adam would believe more if Elly gave another reason, for example, to waste time, exercise, or something similar. That would kill the possibility that something as simple as chopping down a tree is part of a mission that blatantly gives a big picture of her card. Besides, from the beginning, no one would think that chopping down a tree is part of the mission."Why have you been silent all this time? I thought I was the only one struggling to find concrete evidence here!" Adam stood up and promptly grabbed his gear.It's clear that Rashard's current goal is to follow Elly's footsteps into the forest. That way, they might find additional clues.Rashard chuckled, "Your reaction is easy to read. At least for now, I'm sure that the woman suspects that you've been suspicious of her. If I tell you
Connecting his suspicion to Elly, Adam quickly drew a rough conclusion. "Are Elly and Leon working together?""They do seem close... And considering the game rules allow The Fool to win with two other players, that adds to the reason why Leon might be willing to collaborate with them."As he wandered in his thoughts, William, a bald man in military attire, opened the discussion session, "As agreed in the previous discussion session, now each player must report the information they have.""I'll go first." He then glanced at John Gates. "My information is quite simple, I can guarantee that John Gates is not the holder of The Fool card."The other players were silent for a moment. Then Rashard immediately asked, "What makes you so sure?"William said with a serious face, "I've concluded which card he holds. I won't say it here, but I can guarantee he's not The Fool."Andrew, the middle-aged man with a slightly round body, looked cyn
Andrew frowned, "Are you sure? What about your own mission? Besides, it would be too risky leaving just the two of you.""No need to worry about the mission." Rashard calmly replied.At that moment, Trevor Thys, a man in his late twenties wearing a white shirt without a tie with rolled-up sleeves and faded green eyes, raised his hand, "I also volunteer to supervise Lockwood.""Furthermore, as a backup plan, shouldn't we focus less on Lockwood? What if he really isn't The Fool cardholder? That would take us back to square one." Trevor, whose face had interesting contours, said expressionlessly."I agree." Collin White exclaimed.At that moment, Adam was still racking his brain. He was barely even listening to what the other players were discussing in this discussion session; he was just thinking about the many strategies he could use.Unbeknownst to him, time flew by quickly. And the discussion session was nearing its end.
"I'm always curious about how other players defeat beasts," Rashard muttered.Both Adam and Trevor began to aim and release their arrows at the same time.Trevor's arrow clearly had the advantage with its tip made of sharpened stone, while Adam's arrow was purely bamboo.As the two arrows flew, one of them had an erratic trajectory. The movement of the wind in the bamboo forest was unpredictable, causing Adam's bamboo arrow to experience some shaking. On the other hand, Trevor's arrow arrived first and instantly pierced the skull of one of the Rock Pandas.Kwaaaaak!!The Rock Pandas began to realize the attack as one of them fell with bright red blood gushing from the arrow lodged in it.Not long after that, Adam's arrow gently stuck to the arm of one of the Rock Pandas.At that moment, there was no significant effect yet; the wound on the Rock Panda's arm wouldn't kill it.Seeing Adam's attack fail, James immed
Adam fell silent for a moment. He had formulated several scenarios during the discussion session, even skipping most of the debates at that time. And in the end, he arrived at one plan.To win the game, understanding the rules well was crucial. In this case, Adam wanted to use the game's rules to lure out the holder of The Fool card on their own."Actually, I've devised this considering James is on my side. And with Thys here, it's even better," Adam smiled."First, we need to complete the mission," he said.[Chaos Points: 6]He managed to kill two level C beasts and two level D beasts....Time passed quickly, and the sun began to rise from the east.Both Adam and Trevor had gathered materials to complete their missions. Thanks to the curse received by Adam because of The Hanged Man card, they were able to encounter beasts continuously.And luck didn't stop there. They didn't encounter any level A or even l
Rashard immediately embraced Adam while saying, "Lockwood really dislikes the idea of taking turns on missions. If it weren't for necessity, I doubt he would do it."The goal of Adam, Rashard, and Trevor was to make Leon take the bait quickly. It was quite simple; they just needed to steer the conversation to the point where Leon would be curious about the cards held by the three of them. It wouldn't be difficult, considering Leon had already allied with Elly from the beginning.However, seeing that Leon seemed a bit closed off due to his traumatic first experience, they had to improvise."Besides, Thys also has a little interesting secret. The Empress card should be held by a woman!" Rashard joked halfheartedly."Shut up. If I could choose, I would also prefer a card that sounds cool like yours, The Devil," Trevor joked. He deliberately used the same phrase as Rashard's response when he and Adam questioned his card.Leon's eyes widened,
[Granting special rights to the holder of The Fool card to guess other players' cards][Note: Missing cards cannot be guessed until the next session][Time: 5 Minutes]Similar to the voting system, the guessing system also treats things the same. The system will track brain activity and enable the guesser to make guesses without arousing suspicion.At the moment, Elly was confident in the information brought by Leon after seeing that Adam truly held The Hanged Man card!Therefore, she didn't doubt any other information. "System!" she said inwardly.[System ready]"I will guess the cards of two players."[Give your guesses!]"Rashard James as The Devil and Trevor Thys as The Empress," she murmured confidently and confidently to herself.After five minutes passed, Elly began to think about her next steps to choose another scapegoat. But a few moments later, she suddenly stomped her foot, contrary to what s
Elly realized that what was happening to her right now—becoming impatient—was the effect of guessing wrong. Therefore, there was nothing she could do to stop it."You've shown enough of your foolishness to me, your carelessness to everyone else, it will all lead to one thing: You'll just be the subject of ridicule," Rashard continued.Actually, whether it was William, Andrew, Darrel, Edward, or others, they didn't quite understand why Rashard was cornering Elly slowly instead of accusing her directly. But even after seeing that, no one stopped him."What are you saying!? I'm not guilty!" Elly panicked, turning to Leon and immediately pointing at him, "Ask him! He knows I'm innocent!" She tried to avoid anything that had happened by pointing at Leon.The gaze turned back to Leon. Leon looked confused and didn't say anything. His expression was full of concern and disappointment.Seeing Leon unwilling to vouch for her, Elly slowly began to
