Accelerating Game Progress! Players Fighting Individually!

In Lin Yu's perception, the identity of "Administrator" suddenly became real.

The entire castle's floor plan, the locations and information of various traps and chests, all flooded into his mind.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, it's real!"

His understanding of the "Deceiver" ability deepened further.

Because from the moment just now until now, the "belief" level of the people around him hadn't actually changed much.

The instant he handed out the envelopes, everyone already deeply believed in his identity as "Administrator" or even "Deity"!

But...

Lin Yu still hadn't obtained "Administrator" privileges just now; this lie hadn't "come true"!

The reason wasn't that the surrounding people's "belief" wasn't strong enough...

It was because Lin Yu's description of the "Administrator" privileges wasn't clear enough.

They didn't know what Lin Yu, as a "Deity" or "Game Administrator," could do.

Therefore, Lin Yu had just described his specific "privileges"—directly saying he could "arbitrarily change and manipulate" the game, and the "belief" level wasn't quite enough.

However...

Just obtaining the information of the entire game's overview was still achievable!

And for Lin Yu, having already secured a solid Administrator identity, existing outside the game, he had essentially already won more than half the battle!

Now, with an "all-map vision" like a cheat, Lin Yu felt he was objectively certain to win.

But with the experience from last time...

Lin Yu still didn't dare to be careless.

Everyone present was not stupid.

And precisely because they all had an almost obsessive desire for "life," none of them would hesitate to kill.

Even the seemingly fragile Xia Yue, the moment her identity was exposed by him in the last game, immediately drew her knife to stab him.

So...

He still had to find a way to end this quickly.

After he had already said he wouldn't "directly interfere with the game," he needed to find a way to "accelerate their progress."

And preferably, leave them no room for "discussion"—last time it was Yu Longguo and Xu Xiumei's interaction that caused his plan to fail.

Lin Yu hadn't been able to think of this before...

But after obtaining Administrator privileges, a new idea formed in Lin Yu's mind.

He clapped his hands.

"However, everyone—although I won't directly 'interfere' with this game, I will still be active within this castle with all of you."

"And when you see me... you can ask me one question."

"For example, the location, abilities, or even whether others have killed someone."

"Or about the traps and supplies within this ancient castle."

Lin Yu said this, a smile spreading across his face.

"However, 'questions' require a certain 'reward' before I will answer."

Lin Yu said in a low voice, and Xu Xiumei quickly asked.

"What do we need to pay?"

"'Other people's lives'—for every person you kill, you will gain one opportunity to ask a question."

Lin Yu finished speaking.

And the intelligent people present instantly deduced a fact from Lin Yu's words.

"In other words, it's not just 'werewolves' who can kill in this game; werewolves just have a 'weapon advantage', right..."

Yu Longguo said in a low voice.

He had the latter half of the sentence left unsaid.

That is, with this condition...

Not only could humans kill werewolves in return.

Even characters within the same faction could "kill each other."

"Yes," Lin Yu chuckled softly, "this batch of players is far more interesting than I imagined, so I've decided to give you another 'hint'—not about this game, but a hint about the entire Death Game."

"The condition for clearing the game is indeed 'Faction Victory,' but... all the 'Players' who survive will equally share the 'Mission Reward'."

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

"What is the Mission Reward?"

Xia Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Time, my dear lady... or to put it in a way you might understand better," Lin Yu paused slightly, "the reward for clearing the game is your 'lifespan'—after this game, you'll revive, but to keep living, you'll have to participate in games continuously."

"The 'lifespan' you gain in this game will determine when you play the next one."

"The reward for this beginner game... is seven years."

Lin Yu said in a low voice, and everyone present turned to look at him.

They had already realized something...

Other players in this game might not only be from different factions...

Even "players" from the same faction couldn't be trusted.

Anyone could turn on the person next to them.

Lin Yu looked up at the clock and chuckled.

"Oh my, time's almost up... I suggest you start acting immediately."

"Don't forget, your enemies aren't just the people beside you; this 'ancient castle' itself is also man-eating."

Lin Yu smiled and lightly pointed to the schedule on the wall.

As the "Administrator," Lin Yu's advice would naturally be followed by the other players.

Yu Longguo was the first to stand up, scoffed, glanced at the schedule, and walked straight out the door.

He didn't mention anything about forming groups this time.

Under Lin Yu's "hint," this "game" had transformed from a "faction confrontation" into a battle royale.

No one doubted Lin Yu's words.

Therefore, they naturally harbored a subconscious belief that people from the "same faction" were untrustworthy.

If only one person cleared the game, they could at least live for "seven years."

But if even one teammate cleared it with them...

Then the next time they'd have to participate in such a brutal, life-or-death game would be brought forward by a full three and a half years.

Three and a half years of happy, stable life...

Especially for those with an abnormal "desire to live"...

It was enough reason for them to kill!

After Yu Longguo left, the next to exit the meeting room was Bao Liu, his expression grim.

He didn't even look at the schedule and walked straight out of the meeting room.

Next to leave were Xu Xiumei and Xia Yue.

Finally, Chen Zhuo and Yao Zhengye.

Lin Yu observed the departure of each of them—none of them acted together.

After leaving the meeting room, everyone quickly maintained distance from each other.

From their movements, Lin Yu could easily deduce something.

"It seems like everyone except Chen Zhuo is looking for the werewolf supply crates."

Lin Yu chuckled.

Everyone's "enthusiasm" this time was much higher than before.

"Well then, it's time for me to find the most suitable weapon."

Lin Yu muttered, his gaze falling on the castle "map" in his mind.

In a storage room at the end of the first floor, there was a seemingly ordinary human supply crate...

But inside it lay the ultimate symbol of violence in this game.

The one that fell into Xu Xiumei's hands in the last game...

The pistol!
