Chapter 125 Rules: Crazy Killing

"...So you can talk."

Aiwass stopped and looked over with interest: "I thought you had sworn an oath and couldn't speak. Or maybe you would show mercy and let me save him."

"Those meaningless words, there is no need to say too much. It will only damage the will and make people weak."

When Aiwass stopped, the monk nodded slightly and continued to speak in a low voice: "Mr. Aleister, please be patient and listen to me.

"This ceremony has a special victory condition, which is different from the normal new moon ceremony - under normal circumstances, the new moon ceremony, even if you kill everyone, but as long as the task is not completed, you will be sentenced to lose.

"But this time there is a [Crazy Killing] rule, so killing everyone in advance can complete the task. Even if the task is not completed, the person who survives to the end will win. The easiest way to win is to reduce the number of people to three People. The giants will give priority to picking corpses, and the remaining three will automatically win no matter how many points they have.

"But this strategy is flawed. If the remaining six people are not all killed, but someone survives... he may get a lot of points. This will cause one of the three people to be eliminated.

"Therefore, the most stable winner, in addition to the first score, is also the person who kills the most. If someone kills one person and the remaining seven people survive, then as long as the giant chooses the dead as food, the person who kills A one-man ritualist is bound to win.

"From this point of view, it is the safest way to kill one person in each of the three storage rooms. In this way, no matter which room the giant goes to, it will not choose the surviving person as food."

"You're right," Aiwass nodded, "but can anyone else think of it?"

"The team that didn't expect it is inherently inferior."

the monk replied calmly.

His pupils are shining with blue light that symbolizes the path of wisdom: "Although the person who has not killed before, there is inherently less chance of winning - when the remaining six people gather, as long as they work together to annihilate a team, they will gain certainty." victory.

"Because there are four people left at this time, the other team has only one kill, but the teammates have not. Even if the opponent gets a second kill again, it will reduce the number to three."

"But it also means that the person who gets three heads can hide until the end of the ceremony."

Aiwass shook his head: "There is no need for him to cooperate with his teammates to help him complete the task."

"If this is the case," the monk replied, "his teammates may join the opponent's team or even betray him. Therefore, this is the best way of checks and balances, allowing the two to work together perfectly without worrying about the scores of their teammates being higher than their own." high.

"As soon as our team of two shows up in front of other teams. They'll get it right away - if they don't make any kills, then you're going to win straight away, because 1 is greater than 0. With that in mind, they just There has to be at least one kill to restore balance, so it ends up being a six-handed game anyway.

"But if you kill two people, then you're powerless against teams of threes and teams of two. Overall, teams of two have a better chance of winning than teams of three, and teams of two and three have better odds of winning than teams of three. A one-man team. But if everyone is a one-man team, the remaining three will win outright."

After reading the rules of this promotion, the monk sorted out several possible tactics in less than half a minute.

But Aiwass just raised his eyebrows, and said with a low laugh: "However, you missed one situation. That is, people who have multiple kills are likely to be targeted by the rest of the people."

"Will not."

Holding the flame high with one hand, the monk like the sun replied: "If we work together to annihilate a team, that is, kill four people in total, then there are at most five people alive including you. Then if someone kills you, He will be the only survivor with a kill count and get a special victory condition. So for others, it doesn't matter whether you survive or not-it's just that the victory condition of [Crazy Killing] has shifted.

"And if someone has already killed someone at this time, there are four people left including you. Then there is no need for them to target you, because any death at this time means victory.

"In other words, points and missions are just traps, and there is no need to pay attention to them at all. In any case, as long as a team is wiped out, the ritualists who have killed people will gain an advantage; the fewer the number, the greater the advantage. We kill 'red' and Annihilating a squad ensures both of us get promoted. It's the strategy with the highest total payoff for both of us out of all possibilities."

"……amazing."

Aiwass nodded in admiration: "You convinced me. Now that we are teammates, what is your name and how should I call you?"

"Sharifulo, I am an ascendant of the path of wisdom. A monk who protects the temple and practices the power of the four elephants."

The monk code-named "Sharifulo" clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I am an ascetic monk from the ancient kingdom of Anxi, and I have recently marched to Avalon..."

When he clasped his hands together, the flames on his body gradually went out.The flame in his palm was gradually sucked back into his body.

Sharifulo looked down at Hong, his blue pupils were calm and merciless.

However, Hong, who was lying on the ground without saying a word, met his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, the dense shadows turned into countless sharp blades, directly piercing the monk from the side and piercing him into a hedgehog!

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

But before he could make a move, the shadow blade from Aleister retracted instantly.

Then, a pure shadow like a huge knife condensed and fell, splitting him in half instantly.

This is just the most common attack for Shadow Demon.But he couldn't bear just one attack.

"Unfortunately, he was late."

This is the situation Red has been waiting for.She stayed still on purpose so that the monk could expose her weakness to her allies.

Hong gloated and said: "He doesn't know that the few of us have already reached a cooperation—let me out, Mr. Aleister. You just heard that the efficiency of our two-person team is more convenient than your own action." Much more."

Aiwass, who was surrounded by shadows all over his body, his pupils glowed with a bewitching purple light, and his whole body was cracked with many purple wounds, just looked at her silently, without saying a word.

Seeing his attitude, Hong panicked a little.

She soon realized why—it should have been the words "Knight" said that reminded simple Aleister that the three of them had formed an alliance in advance.

The monk who was new to the path of wisdom made a mistake...but it wasn't really his mistake.

Because he came late, he didn't hear about Aleister's experience, and he didn't know that he was a demon possessed by a shadow demon.

Sharifulo regards "one person" as a unit of calculation, and by default, more people can be better than fewer people.But in fact, the strength in this ceremony is uneven - "Aleister", who is possessed by the shadow demon, is undoubtedly the ceiling of strength in this ceremony where the per capita only has the first energy level.

Although she, Antler, and Thunder have higher-level professions, that doesn't mean they are also very good at fighting now.

The ceremony this time is very simple - as long as three people survive to the end and kill all the others, they will win.You don't have to worry about missions and holy guns.

This is the feature of the New Moon Ceremony, you can kill people without knowing how to get it.The only thing to consider is not to kill everyone in advance... But because of the special victory in this ceremony, there is not even this requirement.

"I can work with you, Mr. Aleister."

Hong quickly said: "I actually have some work in the Inspectorate of Glass Island. It's not bad for you to know a friend like me? If you encounter some troubles, you can come to me...Although Avalon forbids to go beyond the Tao However, you are a devil and not a demon scholar after all, so there is still some room for manipulation..."

But Aiwass just watched her silently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The reckless and thoughtless temperament on his body disappeared without a trace, revealing a gloomy and evil aura.

"Mr. Jalifero reminded me of one thing, a very important thing."

Aiwass said quietly: "That is, if you kill the most people, you may not be targeted by others. Because the process of killing you will also generate the number of kills. There are only nine people in total. Now, it is actually easier to exclude the weak than to target the strong...

"And the problem of 'killing everyone will cause the ceremony to settle early' will also be offset by the special rules of this ceremony."

Hearing this, Hong finally realized something was wrong.

The skin of her whole body was swollen and red—the blood overflowed from under her skin, turned into blades, and cut the rope.

But when the monk died, the room lost its only source of light.

She couldn't dodge the Shadow Fiend at all, or even notice where the Shadow Fiend was coming from.

The next moment, she felt that her throat and limbs were tied up, and she was hung up by the silk thread composed of shadows.

"Then goodbye, Lady Red. Demons don't need teammates."

Aleister's voice fell.

Her head was easily severed by the shadow.
