Just then, a student asked.
“Instructor, can the criminals in Sin Hunter City kill each other?”
An Wen shook his head.
“Sin Hunter City is actually equivalent to a dungeon, but this dungeon isn't open to players from other worlds. It is only for the people of our world.”
“Once you enter, you will also be subject to certain restrictions.”
“For example, pregnancy and childbirth are not allowed in Sin Hunter City!”
Zuo Lin'an was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.
Indeed, reproduction could not be allowed.
After all, Sin Hunter City was a very special place, and the prisoners inside were all heinous criminals.
But if they were allowed to have children, should those children be taken out or left inside?
If they were taken out, it would essentially turn them into orphans.
But if they weren't taken out, the environment inside Sin Hunter City was certainly not suitable for an infant.
“Of course, as that student just mentioned, criminals are also forbidden from killing one another. If someone kills another person, they themselves will die.”
“However!”
“This rule does not apply to you.”
“In other words, nothing will happen to you if you hunt and kill criminals inside. Conversely, if a criminal kills you, they won't die either!”
“That is why I keep emphasizing that you must never expose your identities. Otherwise, death is certain.”
Soon, another student raised a hand to ask.
“Instructor, what if we get surrounded and attacked by multiple criminals? In such an emergency, do we still have to strictly follow our established Death Rules and execution methods to kill them?”
This was indeed a very serious question.
An Wen said, “Asking this question shows that you've already understood what I discussed earlier.”
“I can tell you clearly that once you enter Sin Hunter City, every person you kill must serve your rule!”
“In other words, you must first have them trigger the rule you set, and then kill them according to your predetermined execution method.”
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Seeing their troubled expressions, An Wen shook his head helplessly.
“If you can't beat them, and you can't just kill them directly, then you can run! Why is everyone overcomplicating things?”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, they could still run!
As for whether they could escape, that would depend on their luck and strength.
Afterward, others continued to ask questions one after another.
Time quickly flew by, and it was soon past three in the afternoon.
Only then did An Wen stand up.
“Alright, that's all for today's class. I've basically covered everything that needs to be said. If you have any other questions, you can find me in my office. It's on the first floor, and I'll be there from eight in the morning to six in the evening.”
“As for the upcoming training, it will mostly consist of special training in killing techniques. This is the real key to whether you can survive in Sin Hunter City.”
“Finally, gather at Training Room One tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.”
Zuo Lin'an watched the instructor quickly leave, then got up and walked out of the classroom as well.
Xu Youyou jogged over. “Where are you going?”
Zuo Lin'an said, “First, I'm going back to tidy up the dorm, then I'll study this pamphlet carefully, grab dinner at the cafeteria, and finally come back to get a good night's sleep.”
“As for the killing techniques the instructor mentioned...”
To be honest, combining his past and current life, he had never killed anyone in all these years.
“I wonder how Instructor An plans to train us in killing techniques.”
The two of them returned to the dormitory one after another, opened their suitcases, and began to unpack.
As Xu Youyou was making his bed, he asked casually,
“By the way, Brother An, what kind of Death Rule do you plan to establish for yourself?”
“And the execution method...”
“Instructor An said earlier that the severity of the execution method determines the level of cruelty of our Death Rule.”
Zuo Lin'an replied, “I plan to follow what Instructor An said: simple, efficient, practical, and feasible.”
“And another thing, the trigger for the Death Rule needs to be kept in my own hands.”
“The instructor was right. Everyone wants a powerful Death Rule, but we still have to tailor it to our actual situation.”
“An active Death Rule that requires us to trigger it is the most reasonable, because we are currently living bodies and cannot perform a Death Lock on the people who trigger the rules.”
“Without a Death Lock, we can't confirm the number of targets, their direction, or distance, which naturally makes it impossible to track them.”
“Moreover, the triggering method of the rule can't be too obvious. Otherwise, once the criminals in Sin Hunter City notice it, they will swarm and kill us directly.”
Thinking about this long list of requirements, Zuo Lin'an felt a headache coming on.
“Do you have any ideas?”
Xu Youyou frowned. “If there are so many requirements, then our choices are much more limited.”
“I originally planned to go for something super powerful...”
“Like the one Instructor An mentioned before: 'Everyone who sees me shall die.' Yeah, I really like that one!”
Zuo Lin'an was speechless as he hung his clothes in the wardrobe.
“Can you be a bit more realistic?”
No matter how strong Xu Youyou was, he was only one person. If he really set such a rule, he would purely be seeking death.
“Don't get worked up, I was just joking.”
Zuo Lin'an ignored him. After packing his things, he lay down on his bed and flipped through the pamphlet he had received earlier.
It recorded all the details about Sin Hunter City.
There were many details that Instructor An Wen hadn't mentioned in class, and these were actually very important.
For instance, how to enter Sin Hunter City.
First, they would be given fake identities, listed with various crimes, and turned into death row inmates. Then, they would be sent in alongside many other real death row inmates.
Since there were no entrances or exits on the walls of Sin Hunter City, entry was done by flying in from above, with landing spots randomly chosen inside.
A batch of death row inmates would be dropped at each landing spot.
The students would be mixed in among them.
This would also protect their true identities to the greatest extent.
Just then, Xu Youyou sat up from his bed. “Brother An, I'm hungry. Want to grab food?”
Zuo Lin'an glanced at his watch. Unknowingly, it was already five o'clock.
“Sure, let's go eat.”
He casually tossed the pamphlet onto the bed and was about to head out, but then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and he froze on the spot.
Xu Youyou noticed Zuo Lin'an's odd behavior with some surprise.
Hm?
He leaned in and looked at the dazed Zuo Lin'an, blinking in confusion, but he didn't disturb him.
Once Zuo Lin'an snapped out of it, Xu Youyou asked, “What's wrong with you?”
Zuo Lin'an suddenly smiled. “I have an idea for my rule.”
Xu Youyou's eyes widened.
“What? You have an idea?”
“What kind of idea? Tell me about it, let me use it as a reference!”
“Or we could both use the same rule! The instructor didn't say we couldn't use the same one!”
Zuo Lin'an felt much more relaxed now.
He didn't feel any aversion to Xu Youyou's suggestion. After all, they were both dungeon bosses, and with their good relationship, there wouldn't be any conflict.
Besides, there were countless specters in the supernatural world, and many of them shared the same rules.
“I'm not sure if we can use the same rule. Why don't we go ask the instructor first?”
Xu Youyou immediately agreed. “Alright, let's go ask!”
