1264 Words
"Is it all so that they don't hide their own abilities?."
After Ricky thought about it for a while, he recalled the action their group had chosen that time.
After their group of prisoners climbed to the second layer, they were notified by the virtual man in the Cerberus mask that a game would be held to earn enough points for them to advance to the third layer.
At that time, the virtual man in the Cerberus mask said that there were two games that everyone would play, namely individual games and group games.
After hearing this, the prisoners in the same year as them thought the same thing.
That is working together to climb the next layer simultaneously, everyone working together to earn points and hide their own abilities from other prisoners.
Because all the prisoners at that time thought that the more hidden the ability, the higher the survival in the fourth layer and beyond.
But all of that was a big mistake because there were a lot of people in his group who wanted to hide their strength.
Therefore they lost in individual battles, even so, the defeat of the group didn't stop there.
When they find out that defeat will reduce the group's points, they start blaming the people who hide their strength.
Even though his group benefited from hiding the ability so that the enemy prisoner group wouldn't know about it, but that was also true for his own team.
The group itself was not informed at all about the abilities of the prisoners who were hiding their powers, that was the cause of their group's defeat and that was also one of the reasons why her brother was now the leader of this group.
"Yes, knowing the abilities of the other prisoners is one of our goals but there is a bigger goal that your brother wants."
The man said with a serious face.
"What is it that my sister wants from them?"
Ricky asked in a curious tone.
“Your brother aims to destroy the foundation of trust of the new prisoners.”
The man explained it to Ricky after glancing at Rubuck.
"Basic trust new prisoners? what for ?."
"Wait a minute, don't you mean he's aiming to..."
Before he could ask again, Ricky suddenly thought of a very great idea.
'If what I think is true, doesn't that mean there will be chaos between the new prisoners?.'
As Ricky thought about what would happen next, he felt a chill run down his spine.
'Is this plan really from my brother?.'
Ricky became amazed, now he looked at his brother more respectfully.
"I don't know what you're thinking, but judging by your expression it looks like you understand your brother's plan."
The person after explaining to Ricky immediately went to their group's resting area.
“Hey wait, why do you dare to call my brother without his title?.”
Ricky suddenly realized that the person in front of him did not call his brother boss.
But the person in front of him didn't answer Ricky's question anymore, he was already walking quickly out of sight.
“Sis, are you sure he is always in our group?.”
Ricky asked curiously while looking at his brother
“Yes, he was with our group when he entered this Tartarus prison. He is my loyal subordinate, his name is Rufus.”
Rubuck looked in the direction Rufus was left with a straight look.

On the other hand, where Jin Kazama was.
“Hey Jin, why did you suddenly become more active like that?.”
“Is it just to gather information from them?.”
Naoto asked Jin Kazama after seeing the sudden change in him.
“Naoto, what do you think is important when it comes to winning the game?.”
Jin Kazama didn't answer but asked Naoto back.
"Of course it's an experience."
Naoto answered without thinking, because according to him no matter how smart one was they should play the game at least once.
“That's true, but what to do if that person doesn't have that experience?.”
Jin Kazama nodded his head after hearing Naoto's answer.
"Shouldn't they follow the instructions given by the more experienced people?."
“Right, we will follow what they will plan for us.”
Jin Kazama agreed with Naoto's answer then explained it implicitly to Naoto.
"Following their plan?"
“Jin, don't tell me that you intend to manipulate the actions of all of them?!?!”
Naoto thought for a moment then was surprised to think of what Jin Kazama wanted to tell him.
“Naoto, don't make me sound like I'm a scheming person. what I just thought was a countermeasure against their cunning scheme.”
“They want us to fight each other with all our might so they can analyze our abilities.”
Jin Kazama shook his head when he saw that Naoto's eyes were looking at him like he was seeing someone he didn't know.
Naoto pondered for a while after Jin Kazama's words, then said.
"So it's like that, it's only natural that they throw away such information so that the new group of prisoners can't easily cooperate."
“I didn't think that the information was like a stone dropped into the still water of a pond. It will make the pool of water undulating.”
Naoto felt the horror of the plot devised by that group of senior prisoners.
Naoto had always thought that no matter what schemes others had devised or tricks performed by someone, they could never defeat absolute power.
But on second thought, he felt pity for people who thought that way.
Absolute power was indeed scarier than a scheme or petty trick carried out by others, but if the person who possessed absolute power continued to think like that then what would await him would be a grievous death.
Because if he remembers it again
"But I still have to thank you for that, because that's why we don't need to be afraid of being betrayed by other group's prisoners."
Jin Kazama said it while closing his eyes.
After he finished saying that, he felt a familiar aura observing the new prisoners.
“Hey, you, the virtual man in the Cerberus mask why are you still hiding there? Was it really fun to see the expressions on all of us?.”
Among the prisoners in this second layer room, there was a man with a wound to his ear screaming towards the corner in front of them.
"Hmm? what did that guy just say?”
The other prisoners were a little confused when they heard the voice of a male prisoner with a wound on his ear.
“Hehehehe, I didn't expect some of you to have noticed my existence.”
"If I'm not mistaken you said 'why am I still hiding there? Your ability is very interesting because you can feel me from the start I didn't leave this place at all, I'm curious as to what kind of ability you are."
The man in the Cerberus mask stroked his chin while looking at the male prisoner with a wound on his ear.
"Cut your bullshit, isn't there still something you want to tell us all?."
The man with the wound on his ear responded coldly to the virtual person in the Cerberus mask.
"Hehehe, well listen carefully. This is the last information I will pass on to you.”
Then the virtual man in the Cerberus mask floated up.
