"A death trap?"
He Zheng started, anxiety creeping into his eyes as he looked at Ye Lin, who had suddenly fallen silent.
He didn't know why Ye Lin had stopped halfway through. If there really was a way, they should hurry up and do it!
Unlike He Zheng, An Ke's expression changed. Something seemed to occur to her, sending a shock through her heart.
"Dead people... entering early..."
An Ke quickly asked:
"Ye Lin, are you saying we can 'kill' the other three teams by killing everyone here?"
"The other three teams are tracking us and forcing their way in, so this isn't their Examination. They can't have any questions."
"Conversely, if everyone dies, there'll be no one left for them to kill once they enter. They won't be able to gather enough points to leave. Even if they kill us, they'll still die here!"
"No, that's not right."

After speaking,
