"Can we trust that man?" Karube, Arisu's friend, had his doubts.

"Whatever, what we can't deny is that he knows the games much better than all of us combined, and he has survived level nine difficulty games." Arisu was impressed by Jacob.

"He's a foreigner and has better education than anyone I've met in the games. He's definitely a skilled man." Nitobe appeared behind Arisu and Karube at some point.

"He's using all of us, but we are also using him, and that's a good thing." Arisu suddenly felt someone passing quickly by his side and saw a girl.

Usagi had overheard the conversation among those men and felt a bit annoyed. Jacob had created a plan for everyone to survive, yet they were labeling him as a manipulator. The truth was that everyone would be working based on their own abilities, so Jacob had nothing to do with it.

If they encounter the hunter who prevents them from entering the safe zone, everyone has an equal chance of eliminating the hunter. It was simply a plan to win the game.

"Are you the girl who was with him?" Arisu asked suddenly.

Usagi stopped, turned to Arisu, and said, "My name is Usagi, and my partner's name is Jacob. We rely on our own abilities, and if you can't survive, it's your own incompetence."

"What are you saying?" Karube suddenly got angry, remembering his injured friend.

"Wait, Karube." Arisu stopped his friend, and his gaze turned to Usagi. "Have you played many games?"

Usagi shook her head and said, "We have played high-difficulty games, which gave us many days to heal our wounds and prepare for the next games."

After saying that, Usagi climbed the wall and scaled the metal pipes beside the building at full speed.

"She is very skilled at surviving." Karube praised her a little.

"Yes, she also seems very experienced."

"I wouldn't trust her. I've seen better people die in trials that even a child could handle." Nitobe pretended to be confident.

However, at a certain moment, a boy rushed out right in front of them, followed by a huge figure with a horse's head holding an automatic weapon aimed at them.

...

To win this game is very simple; it only takes the first three minutes of the game to know where the safe room is due to the protection the hunter must provide to that place.

Unfortunately, for someone to win, someone needs to die, and that will work like a roulette. Anyone on the floors from the first to the last has a chance of dying, so the best thing everyone can do is start from the top and work their way down. When the hunter realizes there are players on the floor of the safe room, they will start hunting them.

During the first ten minutes, it's difficult to determine the room on his own for Jacob, but once his AI assistant finds the room, he will get the answer he wants.

While Jacob pondered that, he walked slowly up the stairs to the next floor, and Aguni followed behind him. Looking around, Aguni asked Jacob, "How armed do you think the person who prevents us from entering the safe room will be?"

Jacob didn't have to turn around to respond, "It can vary. The last person I faced head-on wore a level IV protection vest, and shotgun shells couldn't do more than stun him."

"I heard the theory about the cards, by the way..." Jacob noticed the minutes starting to diminish and pointed, "It's a good theory, possibly the only one that makes sense... But there's one small detail you haven't considered. Will it be that easy to get out of this place? If there's a difficulty scale from 1 to 10, and considering that the games are a deck, where are the kings?"

Aguni thought for a moment and said, "No one has played a King or Queen difficulty game, so we assume that type of game doesn't exist."

"That's your mistake." Jacob stopped, remained silent for a moment, and said, "What made you think that kings and queens don't exist? It's likely that they appear when the deck is about to be completed, and considering there are people playing against the players, they must already be among us."

"You're saying that..." Aguni looked at the ground, stunned. No one had thought about it this way. The suits of the deck represent the game's difficulty, and since not all the cards have been gathered in the beach, the kings and queens of the games shouldn't appear... If they think about it that way, once everyone has completed the games, it would be the moment when they meet the requirements to face the kings and queens.

Jacob saw Usagi avoiding the stairs and climbing the exterior pipes of the building. His voice was calm as he pointed out, "After thinking about it, I deduced that this is a general game... The games are divided into four sectors that are all related to each other, the theme and how to win."

"Take this game, the theme of spades always involves weapons and the cruelty of war..." Looking at Aguni's pants, he pointed, "You should be a military man, so you know the cruelty of war. Therefore, the creator of this game must be a lover of weapons and war; that theme characterizes all the games in this genre."

"That makes sense, because there had never been a game featuring the king, we dismissed the possibility of such a game, but if we manage to gather the entire deck, it's possible that we will move on to the next phase of the game." Aguni said this after deep contemplation.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, a series of gunshots could be heard from above where Jacob and Aguni were located.

"The game has begun."

"Let's go!" Aguni said as he moved toward the distant gunfire.

"It's not time yet," Jacob said, stopping Aguni, who was about to advance.

"Why?"

"We have to let him approach the area near the safe room; only then will we win," Jacob said as he walked slowly.
