Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era
Chapter 196: Death Papyrus Basic Rules (2)
/Rule 5: Aside from seeing the name of the mortals they see, a Death Envoy can also unlock new abilities depending on the mortal souls they’ve collected using the Death Papyrus./
/Rule 6: When a Death Envoy kills a hundred mortal lives, they’ll obtain the ability to see the remaining lifespan of a mortal life.
Killing a thousand will allow them to see the most probable cause of death of that mortal life. Killing ten thousand will allow them to see the manner of death for the probable cause of death./
/Rule 7: No matter what, the Death Papyrus will have infinite length and will never run out of papyrus to write on. Any means of destroying it, as long as it doesn’t exceed the limit of the Death Papyrus, will cause it to repair itself./
/Rule 8: After writing the mortal’s name on the Death Papyrus, if a minute passes and the cause of death isn’t written, then the cause of death will be the loss of the mortal soul, as it will be taken by the Death Papyrus directly and transferred to the Angel of Death./
/Rule 9: After writing the cause of death, you have three minutes to write the manner of death. During that time, every time you write a letter, the three-minute time frame for writing the manner of death will keep resetting until you’re done./
/Rule 10: Within 7 days or less, the Death Papyrus user will meet the creator of the Death Papyrus, the Angel of Death. However, it is up to the Angel of Death if they plan to accompany the Death Papyrus user or not./
/Note: These are only the basic rules of the Death Papyrus. To discover more rules, ask the Angel of Death./
[After you and the others read the rules, you spoke, "There’s not much point in any of us becoming a Death Envoy. Jade or my information-based talent could easily figure out someone’s name just by looking at them, making the abilities of a Death Envoy useless."]
["Moreover, even the Death Envoy’s abilities are based on seeing through the most probable death of someone. So it’s not absolute and somehow works similarly to my Future Diary."]
["However, at least the Angels of Death are honest with how the Death Envoy’s abilities work. For all we know, they could lie and fool the Death Papyrus user that the cause of death seen by the Death Envoy is absolute."]
["Even if they do that, they would be able to successfully fool most Death Papyrus users since they aren’t all veteran Train Conductors but merely the Iron rank native humans of this world."]
[While you said that to Jade and the others, you didn’t forget to use Hint Prompt on the Death Papyrus Basic Rules.]
{Hint Prompt: The Death Papyrus Basic Rules are all true. The Angel of Death hasn’t deceived anyone with the basic rules.}
[After confirming that the Death Papyrus Basic Rules were indeed true, you were still quite surprised that these Angels of Death were very principled. So far, you haven’t encountered any case where they have lied with the rules they established.]
["I’ve confirmed that the basic rules are indeed all true. And with a Death Papyrus in hand, one of us can start becoming the Death Papyrus user by writing the name of any mortal into this papyrus."]
["As long as one of us will become a Death Papyrus user, the Angel of Death who created this Death Papyrus will descend into the mortal world and find the Death Papyrus user."]
[Hearing your words, Scarlet commented, "As long as we become a Death Papyrus user, I doubt the Late Diamond rank Angel of Death who created this Death Papyrus won’t accompany us. After all, no matter what, we should be one of the strongest veteran Train Conductors of this batch."]
["I presume that the Angel of Death will only accompany the Death Papyrus user they find to be interesting or entertaining. So far, we fit the former, as we are one of the death contestants who have the highest chance of surviving to the end."]
["Even if we have sealed our power just to comply with the Angel of Death’s Ten Rules, it doesn’t change the fact that we are Initial Crystal rank powerhouses."]
[You agreed with Scarlet. After all, even if the Angel of Death’s Ten Rules had forbidden you and the other Veteran Train Conductors from using item grades or power ranks beyond Peak Iron rank, you still managed to find a loophole.]
[Despite your base power rank now being at Peak Iron rank, it was effectively improved to Peak Silver rank by using magic spells that boosted your power.]
[You know that such methods weren’t exclusive to you and the other veteran Train Conductors, as long as they had a brain and a lot of experience, they would do a similar approach.]
[No matter what, it doesn’t change the fact that the native human contestants are at a disadvantage even with the Angel of Death’s Ten Rules being imposed.]
[Pondering for a while, Astraea suggested, "I’d suggest either Zayne or me will become the Death Papyrus user. Zayne has a superior Hint Prompt talent compared to Jade, so it’s more foolproof."]
["Not to mention, he also has the Future Diary innate talent, so even if he encountered someone using the Death Papyrus on him in the future, he can just use it to avoid his most probable future death."]
["And if he’s lucky enough, his future self might be able to write the name and even draw the picture of the Death Papyrus user that killed him."]
[Astraea continued, "As for suggesting myself, it’s due to a Pureblood Vampire like myself having more lifespan than the Zenith Train Crew combined. If there’s a situation where we need the abilities or identity of a Death Envoy, I can easily sacrifice 50 years of lifespan, and it won’t affect me in any way."]
[Faced with Astraea’s suggestion, you replied, "Let me become the Death Papyrus user. As an Initial Crystal rank Arch Human, I still have approximately ten thousand years of lifespan. Fifty years is nothing but a drop in the bucket."]
