You Liars

An hour later, the Reincarnator had been gathering intelligence regrouped in Washington Square Park. They had captured the Night Demon and, based on this, deduced that they were in the world of "I Am Legend".

Almost the instant the conclusion was reached, a notification sound, audible only to them, announced that the Supreme God had identified two factions.

Night Demon or Human!

With 30 minutes left in the countdown, the Reincarnator must choose between two factions. The winner gets the chance to roll the dice, while the loser is instantly eliminated!

It wasn't a difficult choice. As Reincarnator has read the story knows, humanity's only hope is the male protagonist, Robert. But Robert is incredibly weak. Let alone powerful Reincarnator, he could easily shoot an ordinary person with a rifle.

However, the Reincarnator did not make a choice immediately, maintaining an eerie silence among themselves. This was because Reincarnator of the same faction would lose Reward Points if they killed each other, while Reincarnator of different factions could gain Reward Points by killing each other.

Choosing a faction requires careful consideration!

Ultimately, the open and covert struggles among Reincarnator will always be the most Eternity theme in the Main God Space!

The sixteen Reincarnator are divided into four small teams, suspicious of each other yet smiling and testing the choices of the others.

"Hey bro, did you choose a human or a Night Demon?"

"Night Demon!"

"Coincidentally, I also chose the Night Demon. Killing the male protagonist, Little Black, will end the mission. It's easy and risk-free. Only a fool would choose the human camp."

"Haha, that's exactly right."

"That's right, great minds think alike!"

"..."

A group of people had smiles on their faces, and almost all of them had chosen to join the Night Demon's camp, but whether that was really the case, only they themselves knew the truth.

"Cough cough!"

A loud cough interrupted the Reincarnator, each with their own hidden agendas. A burly man, as strong as an ox, jumped onto the hibernation pod, clapped his hands, and attracted everyone's attention.

This man was broad-shouldered and burly, with thick shoulders and a large chest. His arms were as thick as his thighs. A white shirt was draped over his body, making him look like Tank.

"Everyone, I know you have doubts and are hesitant about how to choose. You say you've chosen the Night Demon faction, but you haven't really made up your minds yet."

"Ah!?"

Upon hearing this, one of the Reincarnator clad in armor instantly turned pale and exclaimed in shock, "What?! You bunch of liars! I really chose Night Demon!"

The few Reincarnator standing next to him silently walked to the side, their expressions unchanged, but inwardly they were extremely disdainful and secretly despised his intelligence.

The Reincarnator didn't immediately choose a faction is simple: on the surface, choosing the Night Demon faction seems like a sure win, but the reality is quite different. The main god added faction options and even offered kill rewards, all to incentivize the Reincarnator to fight each other for profit.

Like raising poisonous insects, whoever collects the most Reward Points is the ultimate winner. But the Reincarnator, knowing that the main god is setting a trap, are still willing to walk into it.

The combat power system in the world of "I Am Legend" is relatively low, so the one who ultimately determines the victory of the two factions is not the protagonist Robert, nor the Night Demon, but this group of Reincarnator.

To give an example, a powerful Reincarnator is capable of killing ten weaker Reincarnator, and the faction he chooses has the highest probability of winning.

He claimed to have chosen the Night Demon faction, but in reality, he had chosen the Human faction. Once everyone else had chosen the Night Demon, he would instantly expose his traitorous nature and wreak havoc, reaping a substantial Reward Points.

He easily navigated the dungeon world of "I Am Legend," so why would he possibly give up the free Reward Points?

With these concerns in mind, many people present smiled on the surface but were on high alert in their hearts, and had not yet decided on their side.

Of course, there are also those with simpler thoughts, like that armored man from earlier.

The burly man said, "Gentlemen, although we come from different teams and have some grudges against each other, it is fate that we have met. Fighting and killing is too damaging to our harmony..."

"Lu Tongzhi, just say what you want to say, don't ramble on and waste everyone's time."

A disdainful snort came from the crowd. The muscular man named Lu Tongzhi smiled and looked over, a barely perceptible coldness hidden in his eyes. "Bao Shuang, calm down and let me finish. I am also doing this for the benefit of everyone."

"Then hurry up and tell me!"

A few more impatient voices came from the crowd. This time, Lu Tongzhi did not get angry because the people speaking were his teammates, shills who were trying to set the tone for him.

"This is only the tenth world. There are still ten more worlds ahead. Who knows what kind of enemies we'll encounter next? We might as well save our energy just in case. If we all work together and choose the same faction, we can get through this level directly. It will benefit all of us."

"That's true, but you can't judge a book by its cover. Who knows if you're saying one thing and doing another, secretly plotting to harm us?" Bao Shuang retorted sarcastically.

"Hahaha, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I have a way to prove myself..." Lu Tongzhi pointed to the twelve hibernation pods. "Kill them, and I can prove my faction choice."

The twelve hibernation pods remained motionless, clearly indicating that some people had gone out on a mission, while the rest were prepared to sit back and wait for the win. Confirming their allegiance was quite simple...

"You, kill one of them and see which faction they chose!" Lu Tongzhi looked at the pale-faced armored man. This guy had chosen the Night Demon faction, so he was just the right person to test the waters.

The armored man felt a chill run down his spine. Killing his own teammates would deduct Reward Points, and he didn't want to gamble with his luck. But if he didn't, the pack of ravenous Reincarnator around him wouldn't let him leave.

The armored man glared resentfully at Lu Tongzhi, then took out a two-handed greatsword from his Space Ring and, with a clang, cleaved one of the hibernation pods in two.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a hint of joy flashed in the armored man's eyes. The main god notified him that he had received Reward Points, and that the person he had killed was not a teammate from the same faction.

Everyone noticed the armored man's changing expression. Lu Tongzhi laughed loudly, chose the Night Demon camp, stomped his feet hard, and flattened the hibernation pod below. Upon hearing the notification sound, he immediately smiled brightly.

"Everyone, there are still ten hibernation pods left. Those who chose the Night Demon faction will each be assigned one. These are free Reward Points, first come, first served..."

In an instant, the breathing in the arena became heavy. The Reincarnator were fighting desperately for Reward Points, and the immediate benefits made it impossible for them to refuse.

"Wait a moment!"

Bao Shuang shouted, "These twelve idiots who chose the human camp dare to hibernate here because they trust their teammates' abilities. Maybe a vaccine for the virus will be developed soon. If they chose the wrong side, wouldn't we be wiped out?"

"Idiot!"

Lu Tongzhi sneered, "Let's not even talk about whether a virus vaccine can be developed. If you were in that situation, would you sleep on the streets without any precautions?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means they're expendable pawns, tricked into hibernation pods by their teammates, specifically to mislead idiots like you! If I were the first to enter this world, my first thought would be to control the male protagonist, then choose the Night Demon faction, and mislead the others to choose the human faction."

"This..."

"If we can win, we'll collect the Reward Points; if we can't, we'll kill the male protagonist and end the war in this world immediately!"

Upon hearing Lu Tongzhi's analysis, the Reincarnator nodded in agreement. "So that's how it is. No wonder these idiots were sleeping on the streets; they were betrayed by their teammates."

"So, someone has already laid the groundwork, and we have no choice but to choose the Night Demon faction?"

"That's right, the Night Demon faction is invincible, choosing the human faction is doomed, unless they can get the male protagonist back..."

"New York is so big, how easy is it to find someone who's hiding there?"

"I wonder who this person is. They're really ruthless. They betrayed twelve teammates without hesitation and even stayed behind to mislead the others. This guy has quite the ambition!"

"Then I'll choose the Night Demon faction. Give me a hibernation pod, and I'll gladly accept this Reward Points!"

"Me too, please save one for me."

"..."

Two dark figures silently retreated from the crowd, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.

"Vice Captain, why don't we choose the Night Demon faction?"

"Hmph, how can you make a judgment so easily with insufficient information?"

"But the time given by the God is running out. There are only fifteen minutes left on the countdown. If we don't make a choice soon, we're both doomed."

"Don't rush, fifteen minutes is plenty of time. It's enough for us to go to the male lead's house and gather information. We must first determine if he's being controlled by someone..."

Do you know where the male lead lives?

"Of course, the entire plot is in my mind, I remember it perfectly."

As they spoke, a Flying Carpet rose from the ground...
