There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

"Huh!"

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety and concerns in his heart, and continuously hypnotized himself.

It's okay, it's okay.

The scenes he had seen in that movie theater showed that Tuberculosis Rabbit would die in an Insect Tide attack in the future, and moreover, behind him. He shouldn't die on this map.

However... the movie theater had also said that these scenes were only a possible branch in their future lives, not the final outcome.

That is to say, Tuberculosis Rabbit could still possibly die on this map.

Just when Chen Yi's heart first became unsettled, and he began to feel incessant anxiety and worry, a system prompt sounded in the ears of all players.

「Map Name」: Werewolf Kill.

「Map Level」: C-level.

「Map Rules」: The map can accommodate 20 players, with ten players in one camp, totaling two camps that are hostile to each other.

Players must kill each other in this small town in front of them. When all the players in one camp are dead, the survivors of the other camp will be declared the winners.

The town is approximately the size of 10 soccer fields.

The town has different environments like absolute darkness, absolute silence, absolute blindness, absolute falling, etc., and it has some extremely rare props for everyone to compete for.

Each camp has 3 identities.

1: Spy (one person.)

As a spy, you will be born among the hostile camp when you land on the map. No one knows your original identity unless you tell them yourself. Your goal is the death of all players from the opposing camp and your camp's leader, and you will have special abilities.

2: Leader (one person.)

As a leader, you can get more generous rewards than others. However, your victory goal is higher as well. When all players except you and another leader are dead, you will achieve ultimate victory, and you will have special abilities.

3: Ordinary people (eight people.)

As an ordinary person, your victory goal is very simple: just rush into the town and kill all players from the hostile camp and your own camp's leader to win, without any special abilities.

Players in the same camp will have a dedicated chat channel, and spies will also hide in the chat channel of the enemy camp.

Within this map, the May rules and June rules will temporarily take effect.

If no winner emerges within 16 hours, all players will be declared dead.

「Map Introduction」: "In a town enveloped by night, perhaps you need a game that combines cunning and violence to become alert."

Chen Yi looked at the identity popup in front of him without speaking.

「Player Name」: Chen Yi.

「Player Identity」: Spy.

「Identity Ability」: You can speak in your camp's chat channel under the title 'Mysterious Person,' but you only have three opportunities to speak, each up to 15 words maximum, and you also have the ability to pass through walls three times.

「Identity Goal」: "Kill all players in the enemy camp."

An identity with special abilities, but whether it's a good thing or a bad thing was hard to say, at least his situation was certainly not good. Standing next to him, nine players were from the hostile camp.

Which means the moment his identity was exposed, these nine would immediately tear him to shreds.

Right now, he was unable to use skills, naturally lacking the passive effect of double physical attributes. Facing nine opponents, he didn't have that kind of capability.

However, there should be one player feeling even more anxious than him, namely, the player with the identity of the leader.

As a spy, lurking within the enemy camp naturally meant being surrounded by crises.

But as a leader, your enemies are all the players present, doubling the difficulty.

Chen Yi stood still, carefully observing the nine players around him.

On the far left appeared to be two female college students, dressed quite fashionably, probably having bought their outfits from the store. Even though the Fashion Effect could no longer be used, the clothes could still be worn, so the players wouldn't have to enter the instance naked.

Maybe it was the attraction between young women.

Right now, these two girls were leaning on each other, filled with fear and panic in their eyes, their bodies trembling as they continuously scanned the other players, their specific identities unknown.

One in blue clothes, one in pink.

Let's just call them Fen and Lan for now.

To the right was a middle-aged man who was squatting on the spot, staring at the ants in the crevices of the green bricks on the ground, seemingly lost in thought with a cigarette in his mouth.

This man posed a significant threat.

Chen Yi silently upgraded this man's threat level for a simple reason—in a situation where props couldn't be used, this man's physique seemed to be strong.

But the good news was that you could bring cigarettes into this map, which meant if Tuberculosis Rabbit were to die in the map, at least he could light up a cigarette before dying, not leaving with any regrets.

Damn, how could he think of such things.

It's bad luck, pah.

Moving further to the right was a young and middle-aged man in a suit, looking like a lawyer or something similar. At the moment, he had his hands in his pockets and a smile on his lips as he watched the two girls next to him, seemingly enjoying the spectacle.

Looking further back, there was a middle-aged woman, an old man, and a child.

The middle-aged woman was around forty-something, currently speaking a dialect that was somewhat hard to understand with an anxious look on her face, calling out continuously, but no one responded.

The old man looked to be about 70 years old, his face so wrinkled it was almost flowering, but his body seemed quite robust. At this moment, he was smilingly leering at the middle-aged woman's buttocks with impunity.

It was unclear whether he was intentionally presenting himself in this manner to establish the image of a lecher.

If he was really lecherous, wouldn't the two young girls next to him be more tempting? What was so interesting about a middle-aged woman's buttocks?

As for the kid, he appeared to be about 16 years old. Wearing a hoodie, he had his head down and hadn't uttered a word since the beginning.

On the far left stood two young men.

One young man in shorts and a T-shirt had fear in his eyes, but he was still biting his lip, forcing himself to calm down.

The other young man... was an old acquaintance.

Dressed in sports attire, staring at him, he even put on an ingratiating smile and nodded his head in greeting when he saw him looking over, appearing extremely easy to bully.

If it wasn't Wang Yimei, who else could it be?

It seemed Sword Without End had arrived a bit late.

"..."

Chen Yi remained silent and expressionless, not speaking. He just raised his hand and lightly tapped his forehead, vowing to get rid of such damned people as soon as possible in the future!

Before entering the map, he had decided to deal with Gao Yiming and then take care of Wang Yimei.

People like him, who smiled to his face while constantly cursing him behind his back, were typical sycophants. Although the chances were slim, he still worried that if he ended up in the same map with such a person, they might ruin his plans.

But a sudden incident had delayed this matter.

Unexpectedly, he had really encountered this slim chance.

He turned his head to scan the surrounding environment.

They were in a courtyard, with green bricks on the ground and walls all around. The moon overhead was obscured by clouds, giving the scene a somewhat hazy look.

Without much delay.

Chen Yi was the first to speak out, saying, "Have you all finished reading the map rules? I think we should have some simple exchanges, so that we can better work together to achieve our objective."

He was preparing to take control.

Being a spy was too passive. To avoid being eliminated early, the best strategy was to take a prominent position and assume control.

Remaining silent and hidden behind others made one an easy target of suspicion.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking,

The young man standing next to Wang Yimei pointed his hand at Chen Yi, his eyes filled with fear, his lips quivering as he raised his trembling voice to say loudly,

"I majored in psychology at university!"

"According to psychology, in this kind of situation, the first person to stand up and speak is either a spy or a power player, because only such people can assess the situation around them swiftly."

"If you were a common person, you would be just like us right now, unsure of the identities of others and afraid to speak out rashly."

"This is the law of the hunting forest!"

"In the forest, the first to speak is always the hunter, not the prey!"

"I suggest we get rid of this person first. His identity is definitely either a spy or a power player!"

As the young man's voice faded,

The others looked at each other, seeming to agree with what he said. Even the middle-aged man who had been crouching down was already standing up, his hand tucked into his chest and looking at Chen Yi with a smirk on his face.

"..."

Chen Yi stood calmly in place under everyone's gaze, not showing any sign of retreat, simply noting the young man who had spoken in his heart.

So he liked studying psychology, huh? Good.

After all eyes remained on him for three seconds, Chen Yi continued to speak without any change in his expression, "There are ten of us here, with eight being on the good side, leaving two from the hostile camp."

"It's normal for us to suspect those around us."

"My suggestion is that we move together, which can minimize the chances of spies sabotaging and absolutely avoid any opportunities for two people to be alone together."

"When a spy is alone with an ordinary person, there's a significant chance the spy will act."

But even after he said this, there was no reaction from the people present.

And just then,

A flicker of cold laughter appeared in Wang Yimei's eyes, and then, with an annoyed tone, he turned to the others and said in pretend anger, "What's with that attitude? Don't you know who he is?"

"He's Chen Yi!"

"He's the one who's appeared in many global announcements, ranked first on the Global Vehicle Leaderboard, and dealt 3 million damage in the world boss event—that Chen Yi!"

"It's an honor for us to have such a powerhouse lead us through the map. How can you still doubt him?"

Following that, Wang Yimei turned to look at Chen Yi, his face earnest and his voice steady and forceful as he said,

"Big bro Yi, others might not trust you, but I do."

"I don't care what others think; I'm with you. Anyone who doubts you is definitely a spy or a power player!"
