Reincarnation Paradise-Chapter 911: The Five

The National Football Team's third brother held a plain revolver, looking at the wolf butler with anticipation. The others' expressions varied: the detective girl covered her forehead with one hand, Mr. Pi looked at the wolf butler with interest, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses gave a thumbs up to the third brother, who smiled shyly.

"Your fate... will be very turbulent." The wolf butler's words were ambiguous, neither rejecting nor agreeing.

"Very... turbulent." The third brother panicked, his gaze darting between the plain revolver and the golden one. Ultimately, he put away the plain revolver and picked up the Fate Dominator, holding it to his head.

"Wait a minute!" the third brother suddenly remembered something. "Wolf butler, can I leave a will first? Just in case I die, I can..."

Before he could finish, he realized the wolf butler was staring straight at him. "Haha, just kidding."

The third brother took a deep breath and removed most of his equipment, leaving only defensive items. He even transferred emergency items from his personal storage space to the team storage space and the equipment he had taken off.

He was a straightforward person and knew the power of the Fate Dominator. Judging from the impact of the previous bullet on the shield, he estimated that his defensive capabilities wouldn't withstand a shot.

Unfortunately, the National Football Team trio's level wasn't high enough. They could have mastered invincibility skills if they had developed their paladin class to a certain extent. With such skills, they would be nearly impossible to defeat, making their enemies' lives difficult.

Noticing what the third brother was doing, the eldest and second brothers clenched their fists. The third brother was preparing for the worst, ensuring his gear wouldn't be lost if he died.

"You can do it, third brother."

"Yeah," the third brother's fingers tightened on the trigger, his expression serious. Despite their antics, the National Football Team trio were elite contractors who had reached the third tier, far braver than most.

Click. The Fate Dominator's hammer fell on an empty chamber. The third brother's eyebrow twitched, a grin spreading across his face. "It didn't fire? It didn't fire!"

Having just faced death, the third brother's reaction was unusual, remaining composed rather than losing control.

Seeing this, the cat girl and the detective girl were impressed, admitting they couldn't match his carefree attitude towards life and death.

"Wolf butler, I request to participate in the game ahead of time," said the eldest brother, having transferred his gear to the team space. The trio were the same adventure group members, sharing most of their items.

"Permitted."

"Me too," added the second brother. They decided to participate early because their fates were intertwined. The wolf butler had yet to give the third brother his reward.

"Two participants have chosen to join the game early," the wolf butler placed the Fate Dominator before the eldest brother, who took it without hesitation, activating his defensive skills.

Click—another empty chamber. The eldest brother remained calm while the second and third brothers laughed heartily.

The wolf butler reset the hammer and placed the revolver before the second brother, who picked it up, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger.

Click—a third empty chamber. The trio had successfully passed this round. They all looked at Su Xiao, who was the only one to have been hit by a bullet so far. They smiled at him, and Su Xiao met their gaze calmly, causing the trio to look away, whistling innocently.

"Such good luck," remarked the second brother.

"Yeah, just be mindful of someone's feelings," added the eldest.

The trio's behavior was their typical teasing, even in the presence of Su Xiao, who had beaten them half to death before. If it were anyone else, they'd be even more obnoxious. They were hard to deal with as paladins who could fight, heal, and tank.

As the trio joked around, the wolf butler pulled out a rune card. The card burned in mid-air, and the three brothers received a notification.

[Notification: You have received Alice's Blessing (Friendship). You and the other two members of your adventure group are now linked by life (permanent).]

[Life Link: Once the life of any of the three falls below 30%, the link activates. The low-life target shares 70% of the damage taken with the other two until all three are below 30%. The link breaks if any one of you dies.]

The trio was stunned by this notification.

"Haha, we're invincible now!" The second brother slapped the third on the back of the head, stifling his laughter, while the eldest brother smiled.

For them, the Life Link ability significantly boosted their survivability. Initially, they could heal each other, but they could still be taken down if one got focused. It would be exceedingly difficult to kill any of them quickly, making them even more resilient in battles.

Seeing the trio's reaction, the other five contractors had mixed feelings.

To Su Xiao, the number of participants was a little low. Excluding himself and the trio, only five other participants remained.

After a quick assessment, Su Xiao ranked the five in terms of threat level:

Mr. Pi: Despite his unassuming appearance, Su Xiao felt a threat from him. Mr. Pi might look like an overweight, food-loving man, but his calm demeanor and occasional sharp gaze suggested otherwise. Su Xiao suspected he was a melee expert, with his fat potentially storing some energy or impact force.

Gold-Rimmed Glasses Guy: His various actions suggested he might be a charisma-specialized contractor, possibly a controller, summoner, or mentalist. The charisma attribute had many branches, making it hard to determine.

Su Xiao's assessment continued, considering each participant's potential abilities and threat levels as they prepared for the next phase of the Devil's Castle game.
