"You've noticed the disappearance of the 'commentary' as well, right?" Phantom Dawn asked.
"Yes," Uncle Worthless replied. "But … compared to that, the situation before us is much stranger."
"The nature is the same," Phantom Dawn said. "They are both system anomalies."
"How is that possible?" Zombie Blade Victor asked. "Perhaps this is a special setting of the Tournament for the Best? For example … after the player dies, their body will be retained, but the player will have returned to the log-in lobby. "
"Hah … Initially, that was what I thought, but …" Shiva smiled bitterly.
Phantom Dawn picked up where he left off and continued. "But we realized that even the action of voluntarily quitting the scenario could not be carried out."
"What?" Uncle Worthless turned around in shock.
"Ha! I will not fall for your trick! " Zombie Blade Victor chuckled coldly. "Do you think I will voluntarily attempt to 'exit the scenario' just because you said those few words in a serious tone?" He shrugged. "Don't you think this kind of trick is too childish? This is similar to the trick you used to teach others to press' Alt + F4 'to activate the cheat and' disband the guild 'to hand it over to the guild leader, right? If I tried that, it would mean that I was tricked into quitting the scenario. "
"In the game menu, after the option to quit the scenario is selected, it needs to be 'confirmed' once before it can be executed," Phantom Dawn said. "You know that, don't you?"
"Hmm … Indeed … There was no confirmation window after the selection," Uncle Worthless said. It looked like he was already trying it out.
"Furthermore … if the two of us wanted you to quit the scenario, would we need to resort to this method?" Shiva said. "We can get points by killing you. What is the benefit of tricking you into quitting the scenario?"
Even though that was not a polite statement, it was the truth. Zombie Blade Victor thought about it and opened the game menu. He tried the option to quit the scenario, but … there was indeed no response. The 'confirm' window did not appear.
"The most ridiculous thing is … the option to directly disconnect the nerves has also failed." Phantom Dawn saw the increase in Zombie Blade Victor's Terror Points from the data, so he added as if to add insult to injury.
"Hey … doesn't that mean …" Zombie Blade Victor's face was as dark as it could get.
"… We are trapped inside the game, unable to leave," Uncle Worthless said. Even his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
…
Beside the dried up blood lake, a blurry black figure slowly approached.
The shadow was about two meters tall, and its silhouette seemed to be that of a human. However, on its temples on both sides of its forehead, there was a pair of large ram horns that curled and protruded forward.
Its body was constantly absorbing the dark energy around it. With it as the center, the area within a radius of fifty meters was shrouded in an invisible, chaotic energy. Even the moonlight could not completely penetrate this barrier, so its figure was always a blur.
At this moment, Lying Drunk and Disappointed, Sashimi, and Understanding Death, who were watching from afar, had solemn expressions on their faces as if they were facing a great enemy. This was because they already knew the identity of this black shadow. It was one of the four pillar gods, the [Chief of Demons].
Of course, they had not fought this monster before. They had only watched a cinematic about the Primordial War in a certain scenario.
"That giant zombie looked scary enough, but that three-headed, six-armed, half-human half-snake monster is even scarier …" Lying Drunk and Disappointed mumbled.
"I thought that the half-snake man who killed the zombie in one shot was already scary enough …" Sashimi could not help but grumble. "Who would have thought it would run away in such a hurry?"
Understanding Death added, "Combining the reaction of the half-snake man and the sentence in the scenario, 'Blood rain, Demon Leader Xiao Xiao is coming' … the black shadow over there is no doubt that it is the Chief of Demons …"
"Hmm …" The three of them let out a long sigh in unison.
"Now that we reanalyze the rules of the finals … the last two sentences are quite interesting …" Sashimi repeated thoughtfully. "Using the power of this world to complete a kill will earn you one point. When there are only two players left in the scenario, no matter what method is used to kill the other player, you will gain five points. 'These two sentences provided the players with a new strategy. "
"That's right … Under the setting of the Grand Battle Royale, aside from the fact that we are in cahoots with each other, there are fifty players in total. In essence, the fifty players in the finals are still fifty opposing individuals, "Lying Drunk said. "Everyone's Life Points and Stamina Points are limited. As the saying goes, 'How many nails can one drive through even if one's whole body is made of iron?' Even for Phantom Dawn, in such a large map, how many opponents can he encounter and kill? Based on the normal way of thinking, if he roams the city to find a target to fight, it will be impressive if he can get more than ten points in one match. By then, even if he survives, most of his opponents will be dead. " He paused. "But … if he can get help from the Four Pillars of Divinity, the situation will be different. He will have the NPCs act as the killers while he hides in the dark. On the surface, the reward is not as good as fighting in person, but if you think about it, from the perspective of safety and exhaustion, it is quite profitable. Furthermore, for every point he gains, it means that the other competitors will lose two points. In this way … if he can survive until the end, he will gain five more points. "
"Using the tiger to devour the wolf, killing with a borrowed knife …" Understanding Death said, "Why don't … we go and negotiate with this God?"
…
At the northern part of the city, on the rooftop of the shopping mall.
With the guidance of the penitent, Feng Bujue was led there.
At the edge of the rooftop, a large skeleton spirit was floating in midair, waiting for Brother Jue's arrival.
Next to Soul Snatcher, there was a half-human, half-snake monster with three heads and six arms. Naturally, this was Bloodthirsty Demon, who had escaped from the blood lake to deliver the message.
"Hi, nice to meet you." Even though Feng Bujue did not like to socialize with others, when necessary, he could instantly show off Wei Xiaobao's diplomatic ability. "The moon is not bad tonight, and the two big brothers look quite well as well. The wind is rather strong today …"
"Feng Bujue, I have heard many rumors about you …" Soulsnatcher interrupted him. "Some say you are frivolous, some say you are cautious, some say you are clever, and some say you are mad …" The use of parallel sentences usually meant that this NPC had a clear mind and was not easy to trick. "So, there is no need for you to act like you are trying to please me. You don't need to try to anger me and make me lose my cool. " He only used a few sentences to seal Brother Jue's two most powerful diplomatic weapons, acting and taunting.
"I hope we can be more honest in our conversation." Soul Snatcher turned around and used his empty eye sockets to look at Feng Bujue. "Just tell me your goal …"
