It was hard for him to come up with a name. He had been running for seven to eight minutes already.
While he was running, he did not forget to use all kinds of special ammo to destroy the surrounding terrain to delay his pursuer.
However, his efforts … did not buy him much time. In the end, Sashimi was only thirty meters behind him in ten minutes.
Ming Ming knew that if he was a few meters closer, his opponent might start to use his skill. If he continued to turn his back to the enemy, he would be attacked first.
Therefore, he took out a smoke grenade from his backpack and tossed it to the ground when he thought it was the right time to do so.
The thick gray smoke suddenly spread out, covering a radius of more than ten meters in an instant, and it was still expanding.
"Has he decided to fight me to the death …" Seeing this, Sashimi rushed into the smoke without hesitation and thought to himself, "But the 'smoke bomb' basically has no effect on me …"
"Name: Low Tone"
"Skill Card Type: Passive Skill, Permanent"
"Skill Type: Sorcery"
"Effect: When this skill is equipped, a sphere with a radius of 7.4 meters with the player as the center will be considered the" Low Tone Zone ". The range of effect of the Low Tone Zone can be limited by solid walls (such as walls, floors, ceilings, etc.). Non-solid attacks and negative effects (such as fire, cold, light, poisonous gas, etc.) that enter the Low Tone Zone will be buffered and eliminated, unless the power exceeds the limit of the Low Tone Zone.
"Learning Requirement: Sorcery Mastery A"
"Remark: A few years ago, on a weekend night, I went to the Superhero Bar for a drink. I overheard the bartender say that there was a guy on Earth called The Flash who could shake his body at a high frequency to escape from the ice. At the time, I made a bet with him that if it were me, I could even shatter cement. You all know what happened after that. Yes, I was the Shaker who was poisoned by cement. My skill, Low Tone Zone, can even shatter cement. "
Even though the remark of this skill seemed to describe a sad story, that was not the main point …
The main point was that with the special effect of Low Tone Zone, Sashimi could move freely in the smoke without a breathing mask. Coupled with his ability to determine position by listening, visual obstacles were almost meaningless.
"Sure enough … he jumped into the sky …" Two seconds later, Sashimi stopped moving because he had figured out where Minami was going based on the sound of his footsteps and the sound of his body moving through the air. "He plans to use the smoke to buy a few seconds of time and then launch an indiscriminate attack from the air with a considerable range and power …"
After thinking for half a second, a term that he had read in the analysis report popped up in his mind — [Ice Crystal Explosion].
"That's a good idea …" Sashimi thought to himself. "Even if you can't kill me in one hit, you can at least apply a debuff on me to gain an advantage in the upcoming battle." Thinking of this, he steadied himself and pointed to the sky without raising his head. "What a pity … You won't have the chance to use this move …"
Buzz —
In the next second, an invisible force was released from the tip of Sashimi's finger.
Even though he did not use his vision to confirm it, his [Infrasound Finger] had accurately hit Minami's torso, causing him to spit out blood and fall to the ground.
Not long after, the smoke dissipated. He saw Shinkansen kneeling on one knee and hurriedly treating his wounds. Sashimi, who was ten meters away, stood there unscathed. He looked at Shinkansen with his usual calm eyes and sighed, "Sigh … Although your personal skills are top-notch, your studio's logistics skills are still too weak." He shook his bowl cut head and said in a regretful tone, "Looking at your reaction, I can tell that your pre-match intelligence collection is not on par with ours."
As he spoke, Sashimi took out a silver portable loudspeaker from his inventory and placed it in front of his mouth. "Sorry … See you again."
This … was undoubtedly Sashimi's "must-kill" declaration.
As soon as he finished his sentence, he opened his mouth and used the special weapon in his hand, [Throatbreaker] to activate a sonic attack skill, [Roar when the enemy's life is less than 14 points].
However, this move didn't end Xiao Ming's life as expected.
Because …
"Don't even think about it!" Suddenly, a loud shout was heard. A figure appeared and blocked the path of Sashimi's skill.
In that split second, the person had successfully blocked Sashimi's skill with a large shield. He did not even take a step back.
"How is this possible …" Seeing this, Sashimi's habitually expressionless face was filled with shock. He could not help but think to himself, "This is a Level A skill enhanced by a special equipment … How can he block it so easily?"
Whoosh —
Just as Sashimi was still in shock, another figure suddenly appeared and hit the back of his head with a stick.
Sashimi immediately dodged to the side. However, due to his slow reaction, the tip of the stick still grazed his arm and left a bruise on the outside of his arm.
"Tsk … He's one of the Drunken Dreams after all. He can even dodge that …" The man with the stick didn't chase after him after his sneak attack failed. He just looked at Sashimi's figure and muttered.
"You …" A few seconds later, Sashimi had already dodged to more than ten meters away. He stood still and looked back at the three people. "… When did you guys come here?"
"Hahahaha …" [It's So Hard To Name] who was holding the large shield stood up and laughed. He then said, "Since you asked so sincerely …"
"Then we'll be merciful and answer you!" [It's So Hard To Name] tapped the stick on the ground and said.
"To prevent the world from being destroyed."
"To protect the world's peace."
The two of them spoke one after another. Then, they stopped and turned to look at [It's So Hard To Name].
Ming Zi did not answer them but asked with a strange expression, "Hey, hey … I also want to ask, why are you guys here? Didn't you go with Atobe to ambush the other members of Regulation? "
"That was a lie," Ol 'Qu replied.
"The real plan is …" Zhen Ge continued, "to use you as bait to ambush Sashimi."
"Huh?" Ming Zi was shocked. He was stunned for a full five seconds before he said, "I don't mind being bait, but you should have told me beforehand!"
"Informing you beforehand …" Ol 'Qu shrugged. "There will be a certain amount of risk."
Zhen Ge also nodded. "Sashimi's surveillance ability allows him to 'hear' voices from very far away. If you accidentally exposed our plan by talking to yourself, then we'll be in trouble."
"Even if you didn't expose anything in your speech, there will be a difference between knowing you're bait and not knowing you're bait," Ol 'Qu added. "For the sake of security, it's better to use the strategy of 'fooling our own people before fooling the enemy'."
"What the f * ck …" Ming Zi was shocked. "What's going on? When did you guys come up with such a sinister plan? "
"Actually … we didn't plan anything," Ol 'Qu replied.
Zhen Ge added, "We only found out about it after we entered the scenario … Three hours before the competition, Feng Bujue asked our captain out and fed him a bunch of dirty tricks …"
…
On the other hand, in Red Thorn Forest Valley.
"Your problem … lies in your overconfidence." Atobe used a rather smug tone to tell the three from Regulation. "Since the preliminaries, you know that your every match has been recorded, but you haven't done anything suspicious during the competition." He turned to look at Phantom Dawn. "Take you for example … In the scenario, as long as there was a chance, you would go and kill the Time Official. Now that we are in the semi-finals, where all the maps will be generated in the main universe, your behavior will become even more obvious …"
"Humph … So what?" Phantom Dawn scoffed, and his eyes were filled with arrogance. "Even if my data is placed before everyone, who will be able to beat me?"
"Humph …" Atobe scoffed as well. He ignored the man and continued. "It is because of this obvious behavior that your teammates have fallen into the trap with you."
Jin Fugui might have sounded logical, but in reality … most of his dialogue was just repeating Brother Jue's words.
Obviously, before the competition started, Brother Jue had already set up a trap both inside and outside the scenario.
First, through Billy (at the end of the Ultimate Rescue scenario), he had contacted the Count of Script and King Dian Li, who had been working with him for a long time (at the end of the Scary Nursery Rhyme, they had reached an agreement). He had these two bosses who could travel freely in the main universe be prepared when he needed them.
Then, using the power of Phantom Church, he set up similar 'zone-type magic circles' in many places in the main universe, ready to be used at any time. Since this kind of magic circle was used to deal with 'otherworldly travelers', even if the local natives discovered it, they would not have cared.
After that, they just had to wait. They had to wait for the first team to meet a strong team in the knockout stage.
In the end … the team he waited for was Hyotei.
In a way, this was fate. Brother Jue had a good relationship with Jin Fugui. Compared to other big studios, he was more willing to help Hyotei.
Therefore, on the day before the fourth round of the semi-finals, Feng Bujue solo-queued a few solo scenarios on normal difficulty and successfully established contact with his minions in a scenario set in the main universe. He then started to bribe them.
The next day, Brother Jue met with Atobe and told him … "I have already set up a trap in the main universe to help you." Then, he gave Hyotei the detailed information of the members of Regulation One and twelve well-developed plans. After entering the scenario, Atobe only needed to choose a plan based on the actual situation.
After some consideration, Atobe accepted Brother Jue's help. The current him was much more mature compared to when he first entered the game half a year ago. As the boss of a studio and the leader of a team, he could put down his stubborn pride for the benefit of his team.
Of course, Atobe was still quite afraid about this because Feng Bujue's twelve plans not only showed that he had done a thorough research on Regulation One, it also showed that he knew Hyotei like the back of his hand.
To cut the long story short, after the two teams entered the scenario, Dian Lei immediately established contact with Hyotei's members and informed them of Regulation's plan. Atobe had also chosen a plan based on the situation of Regulation. After Ming Zi, who was the bait, was sent away, he revealed the real plan and the various weaknesses of the sashimi to Zhen Bro and Ol 'Qu.
After that, the scene from not too long ago happened …
Actually, Ol 'Qu and Brother Zhen were already on standby in the dark. They understood that it was impossible for Sashimi to be ambushed when he activated his wide-range Tian Xing ability. Once he sensed the presence of three people, he would retreat immediately. Therefore, Ol 'Qu and Brother Zhen did not make a move. It was not until Ming Zi started to run that they tried to make some noise.
About five minutes later, they confirmed that … Sashimi had locked his Tian Xing ability onto Ming Zi. When Sashimi did that, his ability to pick up other sounds around him would be lowered to a normal level. At that moment, Ol 'Qu and Brother Zhen found the chance to get close. With a shield made from vibranium and the advantage of numbers, taking down Sashimi was a sure thing.
"If there is no accident, your vice-captain will be killed soon."
In the valley, Atobe was still talking. "This match … will be our Hyotei taking down the first city."
"Ah … Whatever …" Lying Drunk rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't care what you guys are up to, and I'm too lazy to think about these kinds of traps and tests …" He pulled up his sleeves and made a 'please' gesture. "In any case, if you want to win, talking is not enough." His demeanor radiated the calmness and ease of an expert. "Come, let's see if we will die here or you will be beaten to death by us."
"Humph … You think too much." Dian Lei scoffed coldly and glanced at Atobe. "Even if this kid doesn't make a move, the chance of you surviving is close to zero …"
"Ridiculous." When Understanding Death said that, he took out his main weapon from his inventory — two spray cans. "Do you think you are one of the Four Pillars of Divinity?"
"Perhaps I am not as strong as the Four Pillars of Divinity," Dian Lei said. "However, I'm afraid you aren't as powerful as you think you are in the 'formation' …" He paused for a moment. "Also … have you forgotten something?"
Once that was said, the expressions of the three from Regulation shifted.
"That's right …" The next second, another unfamiliar voice floated out from the forest. "Aren't you here to kill me, the 'Officer of Time'? How could you have forgotten about me? "
