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
Surprised by this, Adam immediately stepped back a few steps, taking his arrows and small backpack with him."Did you get the same notification? This is what I don't like about the system. Hufff," the man sighed before turning back towards the forest. However, before disappearing into the darkness, he said, "You know, being part of the Underworld faction is quite torturous. So far, I only know a few players from the Underworld faction who have survived until the end.""And this is a warning. Be cautious of players affiliated with the Prayers faction. They can be quite challenging for the Underworld faction."His silhouette slowly merged into the darkness and disappeared, leaving a silence that made Adam repeat his words in his head just to remember them.After a while, he immediately asked the system."System!"[System ready]"Who was that?"The answer came unexpectedly. It was a vague sentence as if a sensor ha
"Hey, what are you doing?" Adam stood at the gate, leaning against it. He just wanted to start a conversation with small talk.John glanced at him for a moment before returning to his activity.Feeling annoyed at being ignored, Adam restrained himself and tried to remain calm. Then he asked seriously, "Why are you so suspicious of me?"John looked back at him again, and with a clear sigh showing his effort, he said, "Have you ever killed someone?"Adam furrowed his brow. "Is he still thinking I killed Rachel Gray!?" He muttered to himself.Adam was about to answer when John continued, "I can see it."Adam asked, "See what?""A number," John said.He continued to dig into the dark soil while talking, "I have a Skill that allows me to see whether someone has killed or not. It projects all that into numbers depending on the number of people killed by the person I'm looking at when activating this skill."T
Adam tried to open his palm as a distorted black smoke formed into a ball above it. It looked evil and terrifying, but for Adam, it brought warmth.He quickly swung his hand holding the distorted black ball upward and immediately created a cross-shaped pole where at its highest point there was a rope in the form of a circular knot.The wood was dark brown with some signs of decay visible on it. Additionally, an unpleasant aura emanated from the object, strangely making Adam feel more comfortable with his body and movements felt very smooth.Adam immediately remembered the same scene from his dream. In his dream, Leon also died hanging himself on the same object Adam created now![Creating Gallows]"That's really similar!" He exclaimed in surprise.He didn't expect a dream to display something he hadn't even encountered before. And here he was![Doubling ability effects][Stealth Step doubled][Poison Touch double
