Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Forced to Cooperate

At this moment, it was most likely for a new note to appear, so once Xu Huo mentioned it, Players stood up one after the other, ready to search from upstairs again.

While going upstairs, the muscular man could stay at the back and talk to Xu Huo while using the Prop, "Everyone is focused on the person who gets the note, seemingly forgetting about the person written on the note. You were the first to discover that the content of the note corresponded with the books, didn’t you think of trying it out yourself?"

If the premise of this instance really was a game, then it would be normal game procedure for the person issuing the note to come up with it, and the person answering to find the corresponding item. If Xu Huo were a dungeon player, he could have verified if this idea was correct.

Of course, Zhou Yuanzhu just revealed the correlation between the book content and the note content, it’s not hard to think of this level. Up to now, the lack of results is only due to three possibilities.

The first is that the person who counter-killed the long-haired female Player is the target of the note, either they didn’t realize this or they’ve already secretly tried and failed to clear the game.

The second possibility is that the target of the note has secretly cleared the game but hasn’t left the instance.

The third is that someone else killed the long-haired female Player, which means the Player on the note cannot clear.

Xu Huo and the muscular man in front of him haven’t made things clear because they fear that, in the end, no one will be able to clear.

If Players can’t get the note while moving together, they will ultimately have to separate; if everyone knew that the way to clear was possibly for the Player to hold the note corresponding to their own number and find the related book, then there would be no need to risk killing — it would be harder for the person who got the note to be exposed.

From the current situation, it’s highly unlikely for Players to get their own number’s note; it might end up with everyone hiding information to save themselves.

At least one new note should appear to verify the feasibility of the clearing method.

Muscular man specifically came to say these words, obviously indicating his suspicion that Xu Huo was not a dungeon player.

Xu Huo glanced at him, "Wouldn’t it be better to clear the game harmoniously?"

Muscular man looked deep, "Good, of course good, I also hope for more Players like you."

Xu Huo chuckled, "With more people, the situation changes."

The best way for non-dungeon players to accelerate the instance process is to artificially reduce the number of dungeon players.

Muscular man laughed heartily, "Understandable, but one against ten is still challenging. I’m curious, why didn’t you kill that person?"

He pointed with his chin at the Player who attacked Xu Huo.

"Killing him would mean one less person."

"It’s simple, he got the note but didn’t successfully complete the note’s content." Xu Huo said, "The direction to clear is one thing, the game’s misdirection is another matter. As the loser of the last round, his number might appear on the note next round."

"I see," the muscular man looked ahead, "Looks like there’s a high chance to find the fourth note on him."

"Speak directly." Lip-pierced Player turned his head, "It’s pointless to keep hiding things if we’re clearing together."

Muscular man smiled amiably and put away the Prop.

Everyone searched again from the fifth to the first floor, still unable to find the fourth note. This was a waste of time, and everyone eventually returned to their own rooms.

Close to dawn the next day, there was noise on the second floor. Only after the other Players went there did Xu Huo go upstairs with Teacher Fan— nobody wanted to miss the chance to get a note, so no one wanted to stay in the same room as Teacher Fan.

Muscular man caught the speckled Player and successfully got his note. The Player who ambushed Xu Huo was alive but injured again.

"Let me go!" The tendons in the speckled Player’s legs were cut; he angrily swung at the person standing on his shoulders.

Muscular man did not show the content of the note to the others but kept it directly in his own luggage; then he said to Xu Huo, "You have two notes, and I have one. That’s not too much, right?"

Xu Huo understood his meaning, which was to guard against the final exchange phase: to get the note from him, one would need to bring the note corresponding to his number for a trade.

The other party seemed sure he wouldn’t disclose this potential clearing method.

"You got one thing wrong," Xu Huo said, "You only need one new note to verify the clearing method. Regardless if the second note is in Player 10’s hands, at most there could only be one more Player who might not be able to clear, plus you that makes two. You are still in the minority."

"Really a minority?" Muscular man kicked the person by his feet, "Count carefully, nobody knows who Player number 6 got on his note, there are still four people alive before him, and the likelihood of this note appearing again is very small. Even if it does turn up, it could be that the murderer got another note and replaced it, ultimately we wouldn’t know which unfortunate will be hurt."

"Not considering the latter possibility, there would still be at least four people who might not be able to clear. Whose head will this fall on? If you knew you might not clear in the end, would you let others clear? Or would you not find every possible way to find a note?"

"Will there be new notes then?"

"So, when will the instance end? You can’t possibly kill everyone, can you?"

If they don’t think of this clearing method, most Players will probably continue to kill according to the note’s content, which benefits everyone.

"You’re wrong again," Xu Huo smiled faintly, "I’m just very interested in the instance’s clearing method; whether other people cooperate doesn’t matter much."

"Just like now," he suddenly appeared behind the muscular man, "I can force you to cooperate."

Muscular man’s expression changed, and before he could turn around, he felt a prick at the back of his neck. The next second he swung his weapon to force Xu Huo back and jumped toward the window, about to escape when he suddenly clutched his neck and stiffened, then took out the Antitoxin and injected it into his arm.

The other Players present didn’t quite understand what was happening, but seeing the muscular man trying to flee with the note, their first reaction was definitely not to let him go.

The Prop sealed the window, and the person already disturbed by the Poison fell backward onto the ground—the Antitoxin didn’t work, his neck and face turned blue-purple, and veins quickly spread across his skin.

"Antitoxin... antidote..." he struggled to reach out to Xu Huo, "The note... for you..."

Unfortunately, he died before he could finish speaking.

Xu Huo walked over, picked up the note that fell on the ground, unfolded it and showed it to everyone, "Please help find the book that corresponds with the pattern on this."

Everyone looked at each other, maintaining an awkward silence.

After a while, Chi Minghong asked, "What exactly happened? I didn’t quite understand what you were talking about just now."

"The method to clear could likely be related to the sequence number and the pattern on the note pointing to a book," Xu Huo announced.
