After Yue Zhenqiao issued the order, all the bodyguards also gathered around him.
The bodyguards quickly sat in a circle, some with serious expressions, some with worried expressions, and overall they didn't look very optimistic.
This was only natural... encountering the bizarre situation of colleagues mysteriously disappearing, and even not being able to remember who the missing colleagues were, was a rare and terrible experience even in the Prison Mountain Realm.
So, of course they couldn't be optimistic.
Yue Zhenqiao sat there and also made slight adjustments to the seating arrangement of the bodyguards around him.
"You two sit closer together."
"Wu San, check your position with the person next to you..."
"Everyone must pay attention to the people around them."
Watching Yue Zhenqiao's arrangements, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Although this Chief Yue's skills are just so-so, his experience in the martial world is still rich and his leadership is also very good."
After all, even in the face of unknown, invisible enemies, in the face of the terror that hasn't even been summarized, Yue Zhenqiao is trying to find ways to fight it.
What he is doing is indeed the optimal solution after summarizing the current rules.
But unfortunately...
"These measures probably won't prevent people from continuing to disappear."
Lin Yu said in a low voice.
Li Nian, who was next to him, heard Lin Yu's words and asked curiously, "Why do you say that, Sister Zhu Ming?"
"Isn't his method much better than the trio over there waving weapons around?"
Lin Yu shook his head upon hearing this.
"It's stronger than them, but Chief Yue's approach is equivalent to placing hope on people's attention... but people's attention and memory are the most unreliable things, not to mention this demon or whatever hidden in the dark, this guy who caused the disappearance, is obviously very good at deceiving people's senses and playing with people's memories... Your profession is 'Thief', you should know this better than me."
Li Nian nodded: "That's true... the two people just now also disappeared silently, and the people around them didn't notice any signs at all."
As Li Nian spoke, she understood what Lin Yu said.
After all, she had just personally proven Lin Yu's statement—Squirtle didn't notice that his scroll had been stolen silently, which was the best example.
With Lin Yu's reminder, Li Nian could recall many similar examples of attention diversion... after all, even without the ability of the 'Death Game', she was extremely talented in 'stealing things'.
Of course, for Lin Yu, there was another reason why he was not optimistic about Yue Zhenqiao's plan...
That was because he had already asked Lao Zheng to keep an eye on everyone... but it was useless.
Lao Zheng's mental power coverage was much more reliable than ordinary people's eyesight and hearing, but all he could do was to inform himself as soon as someone was missing.
Unable to prevent, unable to track, and even unable to capture how the disappearance happened.
Lin Yu looked at Yue Zhenqiao again—the leader of the bodyguard team was now staring firmly at all his colleagues and subordinates, constantly counting numbers in his mouth.
Obviously, Yue Zhenqiao was constantly counting the number of people around him.
However...
The last disappearance happened the moment Lin Yu issued a reminder and warning, so theoretically the next disappearance will not come so quickly.
Moreover, Lin Yu vaguely had a premonition...
The thing causing the continuous disappearance of these bodyguards doesn't seem to be some kind of 'regular' and 'rule-based' unconscious weirdness, nor is it a demon with low intelligence.
In other words, the disappearance of these bodyguards must be actively manipulated behind the scenes by a certain existence, a certain existence with a strong subjective consciousness.
After all, if his reasoning that "people with sparser interpersonal relationships disappear first" and "players and natives are treated differently" is true...
Then it is likely that the mastermind behind the scenes is subjectively promoting all of this.
This shows that the guy at least has the intelligence to judge who is more withdrawn among the bodyguards and can distinguish the difference between players and natives, and can also secretly spy on all of this in some way.
If this assumption is true, based on this prerequisite, Lin Yu put himself in the perspective of the "mastermind behind the scenes".
"To be more radical, assuming this mastermind has observed that Yue Zhenqiao and I have discovered that something is wrong, and are taking actions to reason and find rules, and tentatively sets its goal as making us all disappear or die as much as possible..."
Lin Yu began to think from the perspective of the "mastermind behind the scenes".
"If it were me... although there are still twenty-four bodyguards, disappearing two by two would even require twelve rounds to disappear completely."
"So, the best choice is... the next third round of disappearance will not follow the previous two rounds of rules, but will choose to break the deadlock and create greater chaos..."
"Even if it's not the third round, it may be the fourth, fifth, or sixth round... in short, it's impossible to keep boiling the frog in warm water like this, letting us keep looking for rules and trying to find loopholes."
Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at the place where the two people had just disappeared.
To think about it cruelly, the strategy of trading lives for time is actually beneficial to us players.
So...
"There will be variables within the next half an hour."
Lin Yu thought to himself.
He was just about to share his reasoning with Li Nian, but he heard a sound coming from outside the stone house.
"Whoosh—"
"Bang!"
After the sharp sound of the air being pierced, there was a violent explosion.
Lin Yu's face changed slightly.
He had heard this sound at Mount Fuyuan—it was the bodyguard team's signal arrow.
He looked at Yue Zhenqiao, only to see Yue Zhenqiao stop counting and stand up with a whoosh.
"It was Lao Liu who fired the signal arrow, something happened to the镖车!"
"We have to go and take a look quickly."
Yue Zhenqiao stood up, turned around, and looked at the bodyguards: "Wu San, you come with me... Wu Qi, you guard here."
Wu San nodded in agreement, but Wu Qi immediately opened his mouth.
"No, Chief, it's noon now, the hottest time of the day, going out will probably be fraught with danger!"
"This Chen Family Fort is already weird, if you and Wu San go..."
Hearing this, Lin Yu stood up.
"Add me."
As he spoke, Yue Zhenqiao looked at Lin Yu: "Is this female hero really willing to help?"
Seeing Lin Yu's expression that didn't seem to be joking, Yue Zhenqiao clasped his fists.
"Thank you, female hero, for your willingness to help, I, Yue, am extremely grateful!"
Hearing this, Li Nian also stood up.
Lin Yu glanced at her and said before Li Nian could speak, "You have to stay here—someone has to watch these guys and the employer."
"I can't take the employer and you out to risk the sun... right?"
Hearing this, Li Nian sat back down helplessly.
"Okay, you have a point," Li Nian said, taking off a transparent, almost invisible soft armor from her body, "But... take this with you."
