Chapter 803: with translation of chapter title

Simple?

Everyone subconsciously questioned in their hearts; after a moment of thought, their train of thought gradually became clear.

Alright, this time they understood Lin An's meaning.

The last Li Shouyi could see the order of all skulls, which meant that Li Shouyi only needed to report whether the number of human skulls everyone wore was even or odd, and they could quickly compare their own situation.

Assuming Li Shouyi reported an even number (human), but the total number of human skulls one sees is odd, then that means one is human!

Because one cannot see oneself, but adding oneself turns the odd number into an even!

For example: if one is in the third-to-last position, the second-to-last Lin An sees seven white skulls, and the last Li Shouyi sees eight white skulls.

That means Lin An is also white.

And if the third-to-last oneself looks forward and sees five, that also means one is likewise white!

With the explanation finished, Lin An turned around, leaving only the trainees who grew more and more excited the more they thought.

Compared to the first round, although this round's thinking time is short, it is obviously much simpler.

Looking at Lin An's back, Li Shouyi differed from others; he only felt his whole body stiff, as if plunged into an ice cellar.

It was not astonishment at Lin An's idea this time.

But rather, he thought of something else.

I will die... and I am the only one who could possibly die.

According to this method, besides him (No. 19) having a 50% chance of dying.

Others will perfectly pass this round of the trial, with no deaths.

Not only that.

What he couldn't understand the most was...

If he deliberately reported false information, for example, clearly seeing that the number of humans is even (shouting 'human'), but he shouts 'odd' (zombie).

Then everyone would die from the false information, including Lin An.

No, if the people ahead of Lin An were smarter, then only Lin An would die!

This means Lin An will entrust his life and death to his hands, betting that he dare not report randomly.

What right does he have!? How dare he!?

Judging others by oneself.

Putting himself in others' shoes, he would absolutely not dare to make such a bet!

Unless, Lin An hid an absolute trump card that guarantees he won't die! He has absolute confidence to win this trial, to the point of completely ignoring his threat.

After figuring this out, Li Shouyi's expression turned solemn; he felt Lin An becoming ever more mysterious and terrifying.

"How dare he..."

"Countdown: 3... 2... 1!"

The trial begins; everyone quietly walks to their own numbers, waiting for the system to issue the 【Resentful Skull】.

Standing in front of Li Shouyi, at position number 18.

Lin An's eyes flickered as he thoughtfully looked at the resentful skull in the equipment slot.

It was a dark red, withered skull.

Since obtaining it, he has always tossed it into the equipment slot, serving as a waist pendant without display.

Standing at the end, Li Shouyi silently clenched his fists.

From his position, he could instantly see how many white skulls were ahead.

8 white human skulls, 10 blood-red zombie skulls.

The remaining one is himself, of unknown color.

Lin An, what on earth is he thinking?

Li Shouyi felt bitter in his heart; Lin An had placed him in the most dangerous spot, and logically he could exact Retaliation.

Moreover, why is it that everyone else has a 100% chance of survival, while only he might die?

This clearly amounts to putting him in danger.

But the more this is the case, the more fearful he feels, and the less he dares to mistakenly shout as an act of Retaliation.

After struggling for a moment, he secretly sighed and gave up the idea of shouting wrong on purpose.

He is afraid, afraid that this is Lin An deliberately setting a trap.

Perhaps, if he shouts randomly, this pervert could still deduce the correct answer.

By then, even if he survives, provoking everyone's anger will surely get him killed.

Compared to the high-difficulty trial mission, Li Shouyi always feels that Lin An is the real difficulty.

"Human! (even)"

"Human!"

"Zombie!"

"Mission ended, Squad 7 currently has 19 survivors."

"Gained 20 points of reward, gained 1 point of will attribute reward."

Collapsed onto the ground.

Being first, the last Awakened Ones to report the information only felt his calves trembling.

It was exactly as Lin An said, and yet they all actually survived!

Even Li Shouyi fortunately survived; the 【Resentful Skull】 on his head was a human skull.

However, that guy looks somewhat lost and dispirited.

"Lord Lin An is truly amazing!"

"Holy shit, when it was finally my turn, I was almost scared to death!"

After the mission ended, the Awakened Ones following behind Lin An began excitedly discussing.

Looking at the half they had submitted, yet still having 10 points and one reward attribute left, even the most arrogant Awakened Ones couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Come on, follow Lin An, let's go to the next trial!"

Walking beside Lin An, Ajiaxi grinned widely, already fantasizing about the wonderful points-grinding to come.

Good teammates, earlier those who came out of the Agility Test had mentioned this, but they still didn't quite believe it.

But now..

Perhaps Lin An really can lead them all the way to victory.

"The fourth round trial ends, gaining 15 points reward..."

"Holy shit, I didn't even understand the rules just now, and it's already over!?"

A youth wearing a baseball cap, who usually acted aloof and looked down on others, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

For some reason, Lin An seemed to be in a hurry; starting from the third round, he began leading them to quickly rack up points.

He even felt it was damn too fast..

"The fifth round trial ends, gaining 20 points reward.."

"I feel like an idiot..."

Several Awakened Ones from the Western Europe War Zone gave a self-mocking smile with complex expressions.

47 seconds, from accepting the mission to its completion.

Even though they felt the mission difficulty was increasing, for some reason Lin An's speed of breaking through kept getting faster.

Often, while they were still reading the question, Lin An would instantly start the mission.

By the time they reacted, the points were already in hand.

"The sixth round trial ends, gaining 20 points reward.."

Standing outside the maze, the system's notification sound woke everyone up.

"The solution is simple; just use a Fourier transform on the image..."

He casually explained to the bewildered crowd, and Lin An, without looking back, rushed straight to the next mission point.

This mission is a three-dimensional maze similar to the 【Interdimensional Killing Array】.

The three-dimensional maze, clearly its difficulty exceeds that of a flat maze by four orders of magnitude.

Lin An ran all out, leading them to burst out of the maze.

In everyone's eyes, he seemed to have X-ray vision, heading straight for the finish line.

Inside the Thought Space, the Second Will let out a light chuckle:

("How is it, my memory, isn't it very useful...")

("Have you also noticed something wrong with this trial? That's why you're in such a hurry?")

With a silent expression, Lin An silently responded.

"You can go back now."

No one knew.

Starting from the third round trial, he began silently absorbing fragments of the Second Will's memory.

These memory fragments came from the countless Death Tests the Second Will had undergone.

In these fragments, almost every conceivable human predicament was covered.

With analogical thinking combined with super-effective thought, the tasks issued by the system were as simple as an open-book exam.

Unlike the surface calm.

Running at the front, Lin An silently clenched his fists.

The Second Will was right.

He felt that something was spying on him..

That intangible sense of fear was suffocating.

This forced him to hurry to the Final Trial as quickly as possible.

This also made his performance increasingly exaggerated.
