Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 123: Explorer Identity
[Reading the Hint Prompts that debunked the rules, dealing with the Rule Horror Maze became a lot easier for you now.]
[Something that would take the lives of others to figure out the authenticity of the rules was merely discovered by you with just several Hint Prompts in under a minute.]
[Looking at the wooden signboard, you pondered, ’No wonder no one has solved this Rule Horror Maze yet. All the explorers who had entered this Rule Horror Maze are below Platinum rank."]
["The Zenith Train Crew merely had Peak Gold ranks, so no wonder we encountered this station as an option. They’ll only allow those below Platinum rank to encounter the Rule Horror Maze. Yet, the strongest rule horror here is at Peak Platinum rank."]
[You still remembered that the Train Conductors who had also arrived here alongside you were only at Iron rank. None of them had even reached Silver rank or even Bronze rank, making them easy prey for the rule horrors.]
[In other words, the Rule Horror Maze would go as low as that when inviting Explorers into the Rule Horror Maze while you, at Peak Gold rank, were the maximum power rank of its tolerance.]
[The only good thing was that, after using Hint Prompt, you discovered that as long as you could reach the exit of the Rule Horror Maze, the item you wished you acquired would have to be granted, no matter what.] 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
[Due to the rules they themselves imposed, they couldn’t default on it. They just used it to their advantage and specifically chose Explorers who had no shot at leaving the Rule Horror Maze alive.]
[After familiarizing yourself with the rules of the Rule Horror Maze, you looked at the entrance and saw a booth appearing.]
[It didn’t have anyone taking charge of it. However, there was a set of Explorer outfits displayed in it.]
[Knowing that the Explorer outfit wasn’t a trap, but it still could mislead others into forgetting any other identity they had other than as an Explorer, you didn’t head there yet and used a Hint Prompt for safety measures.]
{Hint Prompt: A set of Explorer outfits specifically tailored for your size. Since there was only one person planning to enter the Rule Horror Maze, they created only one set of Explorer outfits. But if you hadn’t killed the other Train Conductors, they would have created more.
You can wear the Explorer outfit as it’s needed to complete the Rule Horror Maze. Identities or roles within the Rule Horror Maze are determined by one’s outfit and actions. However, the longer you wear the Explorer outfit and role-play as an Explorer, the more you will be assimilated by its role.}
{Hint Prompt: While using the Explorer outfit, do not forget your true identity as a Train Conductor. Using the SS-rank Mental Fortification innate talent will render the assimilation effects of the Explorer outfit useless.}
[Following the guidance of the Hint Prompt, you used your SS-rank Mental Fortification innate talent and created layers of protective barriers within your soul and mind.]
[You imbued everything you have, fully making use of your Spirit attribute at Initial Platinum rank. You spent several minutes fortifying your mental protective barriers, even going as far as using your Multiplication ability to multiply its durability by a thousand times.]
[After making those preparations, you took another few minutes to recover your spirit energy to its peak state.]
[After recovering your energy reserves, you went to the empty booth and took down the Explorer outfit hanging there. Afterward, you wore the Explorer outfit on top of your own clothing.]
[The Explorer outfit even came with a flashlight, which you checked its item description using Hint Prompt.]
{Hint Prompt: The Explorer’s Flashlight. It can be used to flash the props in the Rule Horror Maze to stun them for five seconds. It’s a Late Platinum-grade item, but it’s only usable on props and bizarre creatures of this station, and it cannot be taken out of this station.}
{Hint Prompt: If you insisted and somehow managed to take this out from the station, the Explorer’s Flashlight will turn to dust as its existence is maintained by the rules of the Rule Horror Maze. It’s not a standalone item.}
[’Well, so this small flashlight has such a high item grade and could even deal with all props and stun them merely due to it being maintained by the rules of the Rule Horror Maze that came with the Explorer identity.’]
[’Although it might be redundant for me, it’s best to just take it since the assimilation effects of the Explorer outfit and identity were already neutralized by my mental barriers.’]
[Taking the flashlight, you looked at the tall flesh walls that kept pulsating as if they were alive. The only relief was that it didn’t reek of the smell of blood. There was also no blood spewing out from it, so you decided to ignore it.]
[However, your curiosity still caused you to use Hint Prompt on it.]
{Hint Prompt: The flesh walls used to construct the Rule Horror Maze. An Initial Diamond rank bizarre creature was slain by the Amusement Park Owner, and its body was used to construct the Rule Horror Maze. The flesh walls kept pulsating because the heart or core of the bizarre creature was used to maintain the rules of this place.
In other words, as long as you are above Initial Diamond rank, you can ignore all the rules of this Rule Horror Maze.}
{Hint Prompt: The flesh walls are stationary and will not attack. It’s merely used to contain the props and bizarre creatures inside it. However, unless you are at the Initial Diamond rank, you can’t brute-force your way out of the Rule Horror Maze and can only explore it and find the proper exit.}
[Reading the Hint Prompts, you discovered that the flesh walls weren’t problematic aside from being used to contain anyone inside and prevent them from leaving, only allowing proper exit using the exit of the Rule Horror Maze.]
[With that in mind, you stepped inside the entrance of the Rule Horror Maze and started exploring it!]
