F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 215 We are twins, understand?

The four returned to the corridor.

The countdown has begun; less than twenty minutes remain.

The atmosphere was even more oppressive than before.

Everyone knows it in their hearts.

Finding each card means losing one member of the team.

The agony of waiting to be torn apart, and the challenge of facing the unknown, is more agonizing than facing the enemy directly.

"Fanzi, which way are we going this time?"

Wang Fugui's voice was a little hoarse.

Chen Yifan closed his eyes again.

The perception of "Mind's Eye" scanned the entire corridor once again, like a radar.

He was analyzing the situation the whole way.

Analyze the structure of this corridor, analyze the energy flow inside those metal walls, and analyze every trace of information remaining in the air.

Just as Zhao Hu was teleported away, he caught a very faint spatial fluctuation.

Those fluctuations are not random.

Instead, it points to a fixed coordinate.

This indicates that the destination of the transmission is fixed.

At least, within the same area, it is fixed.

"Hound... Lawful alignment..."

Chen Yifan's mind raced as he analyzed the information on Zhao Hu's identity card.

The game may very well be divided into two, or even more, factions.

Lawful, chaotic, neutral?

Hounds, hunters, fugitives.

This is more like a cat-and-mouse game.

Zhao Hu's "smell tracking" makes him a natural-born hunter.

So, what will the next identity card be?

hunter?

He searched and pondered at the same time.

Soon, four faint energy nodes appeared simultaneously in the perception of the [Mind's Eye].

And the closest one is right above their heads.

"above."

Chen Yifan opened his eyes and pointed to the ceiling.

Everyone looked up.

The ceiling was a smooth metal surface, without even a light, let alone any entrance.

"Fanzi, are you sure?" Wang Fugui was a little skeptical.

Chen Yifan did not answer.

He simply took out that strangely shaped demonic sword—[Touch of the Howler].

The moment he gripped the hilt of the knife, countless frantic whispers flooded his mind once more.

"Shut up."

Chen Yifan said coldly to himself.

My mind instantly cleared up.

He weighed the demonic knife in his hand, then gave Wang Fugui a bright smile.

"Fatty, can I borrow your shoulder to step on?"

"Step...step on my shoulder?"

Wang Fugui was taken aback, but then realized what was happening and quickly squatted down, using his shoulders to form a solid "human ladder".

"Fanzi, take it easy, don't strain your back!"

Chen Yifan ignored his teasing, and using Wang Fugui's broad shoulder as leverage, reached out and gently tapped the ceiling.

"Empty...empty?"

Unlike the previous wall, this time, a hollow echo returned.

Without hesitation, he aimed the tip of the [Wailer's Touch] at that spot and stabbed it forcefully!

puff!

I don't know if it's because the SS-grade demonic sword is sharp enough.

Or it's because this place was pre-set.

The solid metal ceiling, as fragile as paper, was easily pierced with a hole.

Chen Yifan used both hands to tear open a hole large enough for a person to pass through.

Sure enough, there was a hidden ventilation duct above.

"I'll go up and take a look first."

As Chen Yifan spoke, he did a pull-up and nimbly flipped himself into the pipe.

The pipes were pitch black, filled with dust and cobwebs.

He took out a flashlight and climbed up the pipe for about ten meters. A downward exit appeared in front of him.

Below the exit is another room that looks exactly the same as the one before.

Stone platform, magic circle, floating cards.

The only difference is that this card is white, with a dove of peace about to take flight outlined in gold thread.

"Safety."

Chen Yifan made a hand gesture to the three people below.

Soon, Wang Fugui, Lin Xiaoyu, and Mu Wanqing also climbed up the pipe.

When they saw yet another room that was almost a copy-paste, their expressions became somewhat numb.

"That damn mechanism again."

Wang Fugui muttered something under his breath.

"This time, it should be my turn."

Without wasting any words, Chen Yifan walked directly to the stone platform in the center of the room.

Wang Fugui, Lin Xiaoyu, and Mu Wanqing also tacitly entered three of the recesses.

Because there is one person missing from the team.

The group was unsure whether they could activate the magic circle successfully.

Just as the group noticed that he was not responding for a long time.

The light from the magic circle then faded.

Chen Yifan took a deep breath.

He had no idea what awaited him behind that card.

But he knew that the most important thing now was to get there as soon as possible and find out what was going on.

He reached out and grasped the white card.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, like a piece of warm jade.

[Identity Card: Fugitive]

[Faction: Chaos]

[Ability: Disguise (Active) - You can consume mental energy to disguise your appearance, aura, and personal items as anyone you have ever met for ten minutes. During this time, you will not be detected in any way. Cooldown: one hour.]

[Mission: Survive]

Fugitives.

Chaotic Faction.

To survive?

Chen Yifan's eyes became incredibly deep.

On one side are the "hounds" and "hunters" with tracking abilities.

On the other side are the "fugitives" who possess abilities such as disguise and deception.

The two sides have completely different goals.

One side wants to "eliminate".

One side needs to "survive".

However, the same team can be divided into different factions.

Moreover, the hunter and the hound are clearly in cahoots just by their names.

The fugitive...

So unlucky?

Are we going to be besieged by two opposing factions?

What exactly is the person who designed this game up to?

Before he could think it through.

The ventilation ducts beneath our feet began to vibrate violently.

The teleportation is about to begin.

"Fanzi!"

"Brother Fan!"

Wang Fugui and Lin Xiaoyu's voices were filled with anxiety.

"I'm fine."

Chen Yifan's voice remained calm, but it was as fast as reciting a menu:

"Listen, keep going forward. About thirty meters down the left wall, about fifty meters down the right hidden compartment, and there's an embedded button on the ground."

"I sensed four energy points. There's one here, so the remaining three should be in the locations I mentioned."

"Don't rush to get it. Go confirm first, and then teleport over when the countdown is almost over."

He remained calm and clearly explained everything.

As he finished speaking, his body began to become transparent.

Unlike Zhao Hu, he did something in the last second before he completely disappeared.

A thought flashed through my mind.

The identity card's ability to "disguise".

launch!

His figure, face, and even his aura were distorted and reshaped in the light, becoming exactly the same as Zhao Hu who had just been teleported away.

……

A flash of white light.

Chen Yifan's feet landed on solid ground.

All around was a dilapidated city ruin.

Skyscrapers are crumbling, streets are cracked, and abandoned hovercars, resembling rusted beetles, are everywhere.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of gunpowder and blood.

This is the real game arena—the Cage of the Winners.

In front of him, Zhao Hu stood warily, holding a shield and leaning against a broken wall.

The moment Zhao Hu saw Chen Yifan appear, an expression of extreme shock appeared on his face.

"You...how could you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Chen Yifan.

That face was exactly the same as his own.

Zhao Hu's pupils suddenly contracted.

"you……"

"Shhh."

Chen Yifan gestured for him to be quiet.

Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he said quickly:

"I am Chen Yifan, and I have already obtained an identity card."

"From now on, we are twin brothers, and we are both hunting dogs."

"Did you understand?"
