I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 612, pages 2.3-1: Guess Who I Am

Welcome to the 'Guess Who I Am?' instance! I'm your good friend, Filu. Let's play hide-and-seek together!

【Task 1: Eliminate 5 ghosts (0/5)】

[Task 2: Obtain the Gem of the Wrathful Lord]

[Task 3: Explore the complete map]

[Task 4: Find the ghost.]

[Instance Level: Unknown]

[Now, let's announce the rules of the game:]

[I. Death means elimination.]

[II. Hide-and-seek mode, no time limit.]

[III. Explore the map section on your own.]

[IV. Each ghost has its own role card; only those who correctly guess the ghost's role are eliminated.]

Fifth, ghosts are everywhere.

6. No items can be used.

"A ghost..." Dao Lin murmured thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Everyone, run!"

“They ran away a long time ago, why would you tell me?” Mingxi said, her lips twitching slightly.

"So the hermit is a kind person after all? He even reminded those ordinary players, although most of them were quite obedient." Chloe curled her red lips, gesturing for Daolin to turn around, and said with a charming smile.

Daolin glanced at Chloe and explained, "Because of the herd effect, although the intelligence of a group is lower than that of an individual, at least being in a group makes it easier to be influenced and trust others. In a way, this is a good thing. I don't want to face a total wipeout right from the start."

After hearing Dao Lin's words, Yu Yin hesitated for a moment before preparing to run, but it was too late. She had only run a few steps when she suddenly felt something and froze in place, unable to move anymore.

She could only sense something approaching from behind, and in an instant, her hair stood on end and her pupils contracted sharply.

She closed her eyes and cried out with a death-defying resolve, "Ah—Mu Yegui!"

Upon hearing Yu Yin's voice, Mu Yegui abruptly stopped and turned to run back.

"Mu Yegui!" Ming Jin frowned sharply and shouted in a cold voice.

However, his words did not cause Mu Yegui to stop in his tracks, so he could only curse "Damn it!" and his murderous intent toward someone grew stronger.

After turning around, Mu Yegui quickly ran towards Yu Yin. Just as Yu Yin was about to be touched by the ghost, she leaned forward slightly, grabbed Yu Yin's waist with one hand, and pulled her away, successfully creating distance between them.

Watching Mu Yegui's swift and decisive rescue, Shui Qi couldn't help but whistle and praise, "Beautiful."

Mu Yegui glanced at Shui Qi, showing no intention of answering at all.

After running quite a distance, the group gradually came to a stop.

Bertias looked behind him at the empty space and slowly said, "The ghost didn't come any closer." Mu Yegui paused, took a few steps back, and said, "I kept my promise."

"I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble," Yu Yin said softly.

Mu Yegui nodded to her without saying anything. When she heard Dao Lin's voice, she turned around and walked towards him without hesitation.

Dao Lin sat on the rock, quietly looking at the deserted distance. Then, the crowd gradually gathered into small groups and frowned slightly.

"The rules this time provide too little information, making it impossible to uncover much hidden information. We can only rely on exploration to obtain it all," Dao Lin said slowly, looking up at Ming Jin.

“That makes sense. Why don’t we split up?” Ming Jin smiled and looked back at Dao Lin, without any extra emotion in her expression.

“From the leaked information from Mission 1, there are a total of five ghosts, so I guess there should also be five maps. It’s unlikely that they would appear at the same time under normal circumstances, meaning there should be one ghost per map. But… why is there another part about finding the ghost?” Chloe said thoughtfully, “Unless the ghost is hidden among the players and only appears when it is found.”

“That’s troublesome. We need to catch the mole… but 100 people is too many. It’s too much trouble to search for them. We need to find a way to split them into 5 groups. That way, it will be easier for each group of 20 people to search for the ghost, since ghosts are everywhere.” Shui Qi glanced at everyone present and said slowly.

Dao Lin glanced at Shui Qi and said coolly, "Are you trying to sow discord, Shui Qi? No one is more like a mole than you."

“Actually, I have a good idea,” Shui Qi said with a smile, holding up one finger.

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it." Ming Jin interrupted as if she had anticipated what Shui Qi was about to say.

"I haven't said anything yet," Shui Qi said innocently.

"Are you trying to say that since the rules state that you are eliminated only when you die, why not test the waters by injuring a player and see if the ghost will show itself?" Ming Jin said slowly, her lake-blue eyes coldly fixed on Shui Qi.

"Huh? You already knew about this?" Shui Qi chuckled.

"That's why I wouldn't shut you up this way." Ming Jin snorted coldly, no longer wanting to pay attention to Shui Qi.

“Although Shui Qi’s method is not feasible, it can’t be said to be a method, but it’s best not to use it unless absolutely necessary,” Bertias said in a low voice, pulling down her hood to hide her face.

"Speaking of which, ghosts need to guess their identities to be eliminated, so where are the clues?" Chloe asked, a smile playing on her lips.

"Shui Qi, go and divide everyone into five teams first. You should be able to do it, right, social butterfly?" Dao Lin raised his eyes and stared at Shui Qi with his icy blue eyes. Although his hands were in the pockets of his white coat, his right thumb was rubbing something.

After Shui Qi left, Bertias glanced at his retreating figure with an ambiguous expression and asked, "Have you ever seen such a universally disliked socialite?"

"Even if he's universally disliked, he's still a social butterfly. You can't deny that you didn't find him annoying when you first met him. As long as you don't get too close to him, it's fine. Besides, there's no one else suitable to step forward and lead the way."

After all, everyone present was either extremely socially anxious or extremely withdrawn, and they couldn't wait to act alone.

"Considering that Zhu Yan will appear in Mission 2, it's best to split up to avoid a total wipeout. Also, each team will definitely have one ghost instead of being all together, which reduces the danger. In addition, map exploration can't be done one by one; it has to start simultaneously. I'm not sure if there will be any hidden maps, and the clues to the ghosts' identities might also be released separately."

At this point, Daolin paused and then continued, "Have you noticed this? All our supplies have disappeared, and none of us have any food or supplies. This means we have to rely on scavenging. According to the rules of the Sinful Kingdom, supplies are dropped from the air, and splitting up is to avoid infighting over supplies."

Of course, this is just one example; actually...

Let's start brainstorming.
