Holy crap!
Even Chiyo Eine was startled, thinking to herself—such hatred?
Establishing an organization and directly naming it after the guy you want to deal with?
Very well...
"Punishnt from Heaven," hmm... those familiar with Chinese culture sure have an advantage, casually spouting such profound phrases.
"Divine Punishnt"—the na actually sounds quite pleasing.
"Fine, you decide."
Chiyo Eine nodded slightly, lowering her head as she stepped aside, as if imdiately assuming the role of a subordinate the mont she decided to join.
Xie Antong found it sowhat exasperating to watch.
"Alright, that's settled then. We'll officially register the in-ga faction after we get out this ti."
"We're running out of ti—the ga has already started. No more delays. This ti, he's the one hunting, and that's no simple matter."
"Got any plans?"
"Plans?" Chiyo Eine blinked her large eyes. "You're better at this stuff, right? Just tell what to do."
"If necessary, I'll hold him off while you run for it."
"Your sense of humor is... sothing," Xie Antong retorted, recalling how this woman had seed highly intelligent last ti.
"The ga rules state that during each hunting phase, transformations are limited to three tis maximum."
"Getting caught deducts one point; catching soone earns one point."
"But the criteria for determining a 'catch' seem... odd."
Xie Antong frowned. The acting was over—now she was fully imrsed in deciphering the ga chanics.
The ga's criteria for determining a "catch" were bizarre:
[thod for Hunters to Score: Force the hiders to commit actions revealing their identity. Specific circumstances will be judged by the ga's powerful autonomous AI.]
This wording was ambiguous, yet after so thought, Xie Antong realized this was likely the exact angle Lu Ce would exploit.
What counted as "actions revealing their identity"?
If I transform into a car and get recognized, but insist I'm just a car—what can they do?
As the familiarization period was about to end, Xie Antong knew that unpredictable guy would soon be unleashed...
Facing him as an enemy for the first ti—she almost looked forward to it.
Unable to suppress another grin, she turned to Chiyo Eine:
"Got any ideas?"
"If not, then follow my lead. Transform into a car and head for open roads."
"Stay mobile. If anyone spots you, don't transform back. Keep your car form and just floor it—escape!"
"Preferably a sports car—sothing that can realistically speed away."
After hearing this, Chiyo Eine nodded decisively:
"Understood!"
Her imdiate compliance left Xie Antong speechless.
When collaborating with that guy before, he never obeyed so readily. This level of submission made managent easier...
Though admittedly, her skills were far inferior to "Sin's."
"What about you?" Chiyo Eine asked.
"I have my thods. Stay in touch."
With that, they split up to prepare for the ga's start, venturing into this unknown Hell Mode!
Other players followed similar patterns—after familiarizing themselves with the environnt, each chose their transformation targets.
All awaited that man's appearance.
[Hiding phase concluded. Hunters may now move! Hunting duration: twenty minutes!]
As the ga's announcent echoed, a doorway appeared before Lu Ce's room—or perhaps it had always been there, now just flashing.
"Who? Who's the hunter?"
After a refreshing nap, Lu Ce felt revitalized, never having been so comfortable before.
Which made him want... to keep sleeping!
Forcing himself up through sheer rationality, he listened to the ga's announcent but showed no intention to move.
His amnesia was severe, but not enough to forget everything. After wrestling his rational mind into dominance, he vaguely recalled being the hunter.
But even so, he was exhausted.
"Who to catch? Where to go?" He addressed the empty air, seeking the ga's guidance.
The ga ignored him—no one wanted to deal with problematic players like this.
Mainly because the rules didn't require reminding him either.
Dragging himself upright, he shuffled toward the door.
He leaned halfway out while keeping part of himself inside, as if afraid he wouldn't be allowed back in.
Before him sprawled an entire city—its vastness made his lazy soul tremble.
—Find soone in all this? That'd be exhausting!
He jerked back inside. Suddenly, a lightbulb symbol flickered across his dark green mask.
"Ah, let's think this through properly."
"The ga just started—we know nothing. Charging out now would make a lab rat."
"That's no good."
"Besides, everyone gets their chance. There's plenty of ti—theoretically, no need to rush."
"So logically, our best move is... wait and see!"
For the first ti since donning the mask, Lu Ce's thoughts flowed with computer-like clarity.
Reaching an utterly predictable conclusion—best take another nap first, assess later.
Thus, twenty entire minutes passed.
Nothing happened.
The nine players grew increasingly puzzled—had they hidden that well?
Had that monster failed to find anyone?
But... why was the city so silent? This wasn't the chaos expected when he appeared.
Where were the explosions?
The battle sounds? No score announcents either.
Hmmmm...
Amidst their confusion, the slacker's ti finally expired.
[Now switching to the second hunter: Perfect Life!]
The instant the hunter switched, Lu Ce was unceremoniously ejected from the room.
Perhaps even the ga couldn't tolerate such slacking—while hunters could laze about, it couldn't let him idle during hiding phases.
Thus, an extrely drowsy Lu Ce wandered the streets unchanged—unaware he could transform—completely aimless.
anwhile, on another street, Perfect Life had been unleashed. His yin-yang hands sensing spatial opportunities, he streaked through the urban landscape at high speed.
