Later, we lost another team member, who was the 2nd programmer. In order to deactivate the mantis and some other traps, he infiltrated the control room and modified the entire code.

When he pressed the delete key and saw the eight big words "Please do not modify the system code!" popping up on the screen, I knew he was going to die.

Because those eight words were also a rule.

Soon after came the sound of "drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip," and the 2nd member turned into a mist of blood.

That was a mistake I made, my negligence. If you want to clear the mantis code, you must choose someone with thick blood. Don't be like me, who ignored one of the rules.

I think the doomsday mode has two main characteristics: one is the upheaval of the earth, and the other is the systematic activation of the mantis. But all of these are not important anymore. With this guide, you can skip the detours and directly deduce this conclusion: "The doomsday mode is designed to stimulate you to make mistakes, make more mistakes, and face more eliminations."

Now we have six team members left. I am No. 1, the 2nd programmer is dead, No. 3, lawyer Li Tang, is still alive, No. 4, the police officer, is dead, No. 5, the anchor, is dead. As for the female members, No. 6, 7, and 8 have been transformed into doctors, No. 9, the paleontologist, is dead, No. 10 is the girlfriend of the 2nd programmer and is still alive, No. 11, Ma Kai, is still alive, and No. 12 and 13, two female members, are still here.

Speaking of No. 12 and 13, once again, I shouldn't have focused solely on solving puzzles. I should have paid more attention to the team members. If I had been more observant of them, I would have known that they were NPCs mixed among us.

Under the attack of No. 12 and 13, No. 10 died.

I won't go into the specific details. Let's review No. 10.

When I first met her, I thought she was quite affected, always clinging to her boyfriend's neck, humming with every step, and giving up at the slightest danger, whimpering that she wanted to go home.

It wasn't until after her death that I discovered a sticker behind her name tag. It said, "Birthday gift ticket: Do whatever you want, with no limit on the number of violations."

In other words, No. 10, who I had always labeled as affected, was actually the deepest hidden king in the entire game. While we were fretting over losing blood, the system allowed her to blatantly violate the rules, performing dangerous actions that could lead to death, such as deleting code like the 2nd member or destroying props like the 4th member.

Forgive my incompetence for not discovering such a benefit and for losing two team members in vain.

So, if you have someone in your team who has had a birthday, make sure to confirm in advance and classify them as a fearless member.

However, it's worth noting that the birthday person will not die from making mistakes but can still die from physical attacks. Just like in our team, No. 10 didn't die because of a violation but was devoured by two NPCs.
