There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

After saying this, Chen Yi stopped talking and looked up, patiently waiting for everyone else's response.

He had already found the solution to this map.

Being a spy required disguise, but... in this map, disguises were completely meaningless. Even if you disguised your identity well, if the players from the hostile camp didn't all die, you'd die in the map yourself.

So the main mission of this map was to kill all enemy players.

Whether you were a commoner, a spy, or a hero, as long as you achieved this, you could win.

In a situation where nobody could use props, there was no need to bother with the two little girls and the old man could be ignored for the time being, as could the middle-aged woman and that young man.

First, take out this middle-aged man, Wang Yimei, that college student studying psychology, and the guy in a suit who looked like a lawyer.

In this tense atmosphere, it was rare to find an opportunity to attack someone who was alone.

But in absolute darkness, there was a perfect chance to strike.

A common misconception about this map was that a spy didn't need to worry too much about revealing their identity. Even if exposed, what of it? You couldn't be voted to death, just run for your life, and as long as you weren't caught, it didn't matter if your identity was revealed.

Moreover, the spy had the ability to walk through walls three times.

The only thing that made him somewhat uneasy was that he didn't know what the Heroic Skill was.

Soon, everyone had come up with a plan.

They left the two little girls outside to hold each other in check, while the other eight people entered the courtyard holding hands to search for the prop.

The two little girls were at the forefront of the human chain, and the middle-aged man was at the end.

Chen Yi did not object to this arrangement. Instead, he subtly shifted the blade hidden on his shoulder, letting it fall naturally into the little pocket at his sleeve. When he learned that props could not be carried into this map, he brought along some small blades.

After all, efficiency was key when it came to killing.

Then, everything proceeded according to plan.

The two little girls stayed outside while the remaining eight people entered the courtyard hand in hand and started groping around in the dark.

...

"Ah, how boring."

Tuberculosis Rabbit, somewhat bored, squatted on the eaves of a house in the little brick town, idly smoking a cigarette and gazing at the foggy horizon. He and Yi had been separated.

This made him, who had been slightly hopeful about this map, instantly lose interest.

"Forget it."

A moment later Tuberculosis Rabbit sighed softly and shook his head, "Better just stay alive and get out of here first."

At that moment, a young man with his right hand behind his back and a smile on his face came and sat down next to Tuberculosis Rabbit, "How's the view? If you don't consider the danger of this map, the scenery is actually quite nice, isn't it?"

"Indeed, it's not bad. Want a smoke?"

"Sure, I'll take one, thanks."

"No problem."

Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded casually and then reached into his chest, seemingly to take out a cigarette. As he extended his arm, a dagger that was very black in the night was pulled out.

Without any hesitation.

Tuberculosis Rabbit stood up and stabbed the dagger into the neck of the young man sitting next to him, immediately twisting the dagger repeatedly, and then, looking at the young man's rapidly fading eyes and the gushing, blinding fresh blood, he pushed the body into the house behind him.

He glanced at the dagger in the man's hand without talking much, then rubbed his blood-stained hands against the rainy eaves before reaching for another cigarette to put into his mouth.

Thinking he was alone and coming to kill him?

The enemy was either a spy or possessed the Heroic Skill.

Another identity ruled out.

He actually did not know what the young man's identity was. His own identity was just a commoner, but it was fine to attack anyone who approached him. After all, striking first was the best strategy.

In a situation with no props and no skills, it was all about who could strike more fiercely and more steadily.

Even if he had killed the wrong person, if the other was just a teammate with no ill intent, it didn't matter.

As long as he survived.

"I wonder how Yi is doing."

His approach to the map was simple; just kill everyone except himself. As long as he wasn't being ganged up on, he was confident he would not lose to anyone in a 1v1 situation.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Yi had started forming a human chain to enter the courtyard.

The courtyard was pitch black, the kind of absolute darkness where not a sound could be heard, and the only reassurance was the contact of holding hands with your fellow players, affirming that you were not plunged into the darkness alone.

The middle-aged man at the front was constantly searching for the so-called prop in the darkness.

It was no easy task.

There were no clues to the prop's location, and the courtyard was not small, so they had to keep groping on the ground.

"..."

Chen Yi felt the darkness around him, the silence unnerving enough to make one's skin crawl. He quietly let go of the hands of the players on both sides. Although he couldn't hear their cries, he could feel two pairs of hands desperately trying to grab towards him in the dark.
Experience tales at empire

There was no sound of cutting through air.

But when his hand brushed against his clothes, there was still a sensation.

He immediately took the blade from the cuff of his sleeve.

And at that moment—

A hand suddenly grabbed his clothes and clung tightly without letting go.

Chen Yi didn't hesitate too much; he grabbed the hand and quickly slid it up the arm, and when he could roughly judge the position of the neck, the hand with the blade lunged forward and viciously sliced!

Immediately after, he could feel some warm liquid spraying onto his hand, and the grip on his clothes gradually weakened.

Still not completely reassured, he slashed several more times in the darkness before quickly moving away from his original position.

By this time, the courtyard had already descended into chaos. The other player leading the corpse obviously knew something had gone wrong and turned around to leave the courtyard first, but the other player tied to the deceased was unaware of what had happened.

In the darkness, absolute silence was mandated; even the squad channel couldn't be used.

Transferring information was extremely difficult.

The other player, mistaking that the player wanted to make a move, retaliated immediately, plunging the whole courtyard into immediate disarray.

After killing one person, Chen Yi didn't continue to fight; instead, he slowly backed away in the opposite direction, trying his best not to bump into any player in the dark.

This was because getting injured posed a great risk on this map, and getting hurt wasn't a good thing at all.

The person he had been pulling on his left was the one dressed in a suit, looking like a lawyer. Unless something unexpected had happened, that person should be dead or, at the very least, critically wounded and close to death.

He had to be cautious.

Until he knew what the Heroic Skill was, he had to avoid being in a direct one-on-one, let alone a one-against-multiple, situation as much as possible.

Suddenly there was an extra corpse, and the rope tying the group broke in the middle, leaving the rest not necessarily panicked but definitely thrown into disarray.

Chen Yi planned to take this opportunity to quickly locate the Prop hidden in the courtyard.

He bent his arm slightly and stretched it out, ensuring that if he did bump into another player, he could strike faster than the opponent could.

Being fearless by nature, he didn't feel any apprehension in the all-encompassing darkness, only that it was slightly inconvenient due to the low margin for error.

He sped up his pace slightly, moving away from the other players behind him and groping in the dark of the courtyard.

And just then—

He suddenly saw a glowing white dot on the ground about three steps away.

Chen Yi was startled, his brows furrowed as he stepped back. The glowing white dot immediately vanished from his sight, but as he stepped forward again, the dot reappeared in his field of vision.

This must be the so-called Prop hidden in the courtyard.

It seemed that one could only see the Prop if they were within a few steps of it.

He didn't rush over immediately. Instead, holding the knife in his hand, his body tensed like a bow, he carefully felt his way forward step by step. And at that moment—

Chen Yi suddenly stepped on an animal trap in the darkness, and the severe pain made him let out an involuntary grunt.

An animal trap hidden on the ground in the darkness.

The intense pain made Chen Yi instantly alert, and with gritted teeth, he moved his body and held the knife, slowly searching around the Prop. The very next second, he suddenly felt like he had touched a strand of hair.

Without any hesitation.

In the darkness, he pounced forward, raising the knife and wildly stabbing at the player he had pinned down!

"Puchi!"

Once, twice, three times!

Warm blood splattered on Chen Yi's cheeks, but he didn't stop; he stabbed even more vigorously!

Only when the player underneath him no longer moved did he grab the Prop on the ground and, moving with some difficulty, continued to walk step by step into the darkness until he touched a wall.

He let out a slight breath of relief and leaned on the wall to look at the information of the Prop in his hands.

'Prop Name': Dark Vision.

'Prop Level': None, exclusive to the 'Werewolf Kill' map, cannot be taken out of the map.

'Prop Effect': Once activated, this Prop allows one to have normal vision in absolute darkness, can be used six times, each time lasting ten seconds.

'Prop Description': "I hate darkness, just as I sleep with the light on, I'm genuinely worried about how many people might be hiding under my bed, staring up at me through the boards."

He didn't activate the Prop immediately, but instead felt for the animal trap on his shin.

It hurt.

With his strength, he couldn't manage to open or pry the trap apart; it simply wouldn't budge.

After trying for a long while.

Chen Yi simply stopped bothering with it, and as his constant blood loss made his body increasingly weak, he took off his jacket and used the blade to cut it into strips of cloth.

He wound the cloth strips around the animal trap and his wound together, which at least could reduce the speed of bleeding.

Feeling his body growing weak, Chen Yi bit his lip and leaned against the wall, gasping for air through his pain!

He must receive treatment within 30 minutes!
