Faced with Xia Yue's request, Lin Yu naturally had no reason to refuse. The two naturally formed the first group. Of the remaining four, Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei did not want to be in the same group with Bao Liu and Yao Zhengye. So, after Xia Yue invited Lin Yu, the grouping of the seven people was automatically completed. The first group was "detective" Lin Yu and "veterinarian" Xia Yue. The second group was "rogue" Bao Liu and "thief" Yao Zhengye. The third group was "homeboy" Chen Zhuo and "teacher" Xu Xiumei. The fourth group was "soldier" Yu Longguo acting alone. After the four groups were completed, everyone claimed the tasks on the schedule in order. After confirming the tasks they were going to do, the four groups hurriedly left the meeting room.
After all, there was not much time left for them to do their first tasks. Lin Yu and Xia Yue also hurriedly looked for the "engineering room" mentioned in the first task. After leaving the conference room, the corridor outside the room also has a slightly exaggerated decoration style, with wolf heads carved on the iron candlesticks and dark red heavy carpets inlaid with golden silk threads. Looking out through some broken windows in the corridor, you can see that the outer wall is made of stone, and the style is probably an ancient castle. The conference room is at the end of the first floor of the castle. After leaving the conference room, go forward along the corridor and soon see a spiral staircase. Lin Yu and Xia Yue walked up quickly and came to the corridor on the second floor. Just next to the stairs, Lin Yu saw a wooden door with a metal nameplate. "It's the engineering room." Lin Yu read the words on the nameplate. And behind the wooden door, sharp alarms kept ringing - this was the source of the alarm they heard downstairs. "We found it... There's still plenty of time." Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward and reached out to hold the wooden door handle and turned it gently. The door was not locked, and the two entered the engineering room easily. In the huge room, an old-fashioned generator was running slowly, with many halogen lamps on it. One of the lamps had turned red and emitted a loud "beep" alarm. The generator was also connected to some other devices, but these devices were all running normally and did not seem to need repair. Lin Yu and Xia Yue approached the generator. As a weak girl and a veterinarian, Xia Yue obviously did not know much about machinery. She said in some distress: "How can I repair this? Isn't there an instruction manual or something?"
Although the name of the death game is a game, you can't automatically enter the game by pressing and holding a key to complete the task. For tasks like "repairing the generator", you still need to troubleshoot the fault yourself! But Lin Yu was not nervous. "The estimated time to complete this task is 10 minutes, which means it doesn't have any major faults. It seems to have only a minor problem from the appearance..." "And this is a game like 'Werewolf' after all. These 'tasks' are probably just a means to break us up. They shouldn't be too difficult." Lin Yu thought, his eyes fell on the storage cabinet next to the generator. On the top of the cabinet was a toolbox with some wrenches and screwdrivers. And under the toolbox was a booklet. Lin Yu gently lifted the toolbox and pulled out the booklet. The booklet was thin and covered with black oil, with some curled pages. The cover read "Wolf III Generator Instruction Manual". "Isn't this the clue?" Lin Yu reached out and flicked the booklet gently, smiling confidently and speaking. Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Lin Yu with admiration: "You are indeed a detective in reality. Even if you don't have 'ability', you are sharp enough." Lin Yu shrugged noncommittally, and then opened the book in his hand. "Three indicator lights... If this indicator light turns red, it means that the engine is not lubricated enough and needs to be replenished with lubricating oil - it is stored in the utility room on the first floor." This booklet was as straightforward as Lin Yu imagined, and he easily found the problem and the solution. "You need to go to the utility room on the first floor to get the lubricant, right? I'll go get it." Xia Yue said, "I saw it on the way to the utility room." Faced with Xia Yue's proposal, Lin Yu frowned slightly, his expression a little grim: "But, we are divided into groups of two to avoid acting alone." Xia Yue put on a smile on her face: "But, the mission time is very tight, you stay here and continue to study this machine - what if you get the lubricant by then, but can't find where to add the lubricant and cause the mission to fail?" "Don't worry about my safety, this is a very dangerous game... and I said, anyway, this life has been picked up." She said with her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly, her tone relaxed and her expression playful. Lin Yu heard Xia Yue say this, and then nodded: "Okay, according to the task allocation, there are only a group of otakus and teachers on the first floor now, you may be fine if you go and come back quickly." "Try to control the time within five minutes and thirty seconds. If it exceeds this time, you will be in danger." Lin Yu said calmly. As for why it was five and a half minutes, he did not explain to Xia Yue. "It will definitely be quick, there is a countdown!" Xia Yue said with a smile, left the engineering room, and closed the door. Lin Yu was the only one left in the room.
The calm and conceited expression on Lin Yu's face disappeared instantly. He rubbed his face vigorously. Until the moment when he was alone with Xia Yue just now, he was still "acting". He was playing a conceited and smart "detective" who liked to control the situation. Why five and a half minutes? Lin Yu just said it casually - in his opinion, the sooner Xia Yue came back, the better. "If I could really gain super observation and logical analysis skills by making others think I'm a 'famous detective'..." Lin Yu rubbed his forehead with a headache. He believed that he was not stupid. After all, Jiangcheng Media's performance department was also in the top three in the country, and the admission score was very high. It was also easy to study performance courses and self-study psychology. Because he participated in the drama club and often performed on stage, his psychological quality was also relatively strong, and he could force himself to calm down quickly. In fact, Lin Yu felt that he did have a certain advantage in "analyzing others". But in such a game where people can die, Lin Yu still clearly felt that his intelligence and calmness... were far from enough! After all, Lin Yu was only a sophomore student in the Department of Acting, and his biggest advantage was that he had a lot of experience in drama performances. He couldn't grasp everyone's movements, nor could he really see through everyone's thoughts and directly point out who the werewolf was, and he couldn't remain completely indifferent between life and death! In fact, Lin Yu had vaguely felt that there was something "wrong" with this game from the beginning - from the rules to the reactions of other people, there were some abnormalities in all the details! But he couldn't figure out how to explain these abnormalities. However... Even if you are not smart enough, you have to play hard. Lin Yu adjusted his mentality. "Don't think about the problems you don't understand." "These five minutes of solitude... must be used well." Thinking of this, Lin Yu's eyes began to search in the room.
