10:47 AM, You Ji died!
News of You Ji's death appeared on all electronic billboards in the city.
However, Bai Ye found it meaningless, as everyone was still fighting inside the building.
In fact, just as Bai Ye finished off You Ji, he heard a loud noise from the floors above. It didn't sound like an explosion, but rather the sound of heavy objects colliding. If nothing unexpected happened, it meant others were fighting. Dust rained down from the ceiling.
Bai Ye didn't intend to stay in this place any longer. Let them fight; the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. It was a good situation.
He glanced at the elevator, its door dented by You Ji's two punches, making it unusable.
Bai Ye had no choice but to re-enter his spirit form and pass through the outer wall. Then, utilizing his spirit form's low-altitude flight ability, he descended to the ground.
Upon landing, Bai Ye surveyed his surroundings, checked the environment, and then walked forward, quickly entering a convenience store.
Soon, Bai Ye stuffed boxes of playing cards into his pockets.
The Paper God ability was quite useful, but Bai Ye hadn't used it since entering the Death Playground. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had run out of playing cards.
The most troublesome aspect of this ability was that it required paper-based items to be usable.
So, Bai Ye was currently "reloading his ammunition."
Then…
It was time for the gachapon machine segment.
With a bang, a giant gachapon machine suddenly appeared, crashing beside Bai Ye, and then began to spin.
The first capsule…
"Damn…" Bai Ye looked at the white capsule in his hand, speechless. "You again?"
The Great Inventor (Ability): Once every hour, a technological item can be randomly invented.
Bai Ye felt numb. This was the third time he had drawn this.
However, the saying "misfortune is a blessing in disguise" held true. After the first white capsule…
*Clack!*
A black capsule immediately dropped from the gachapon machine.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. A high-level item capsule!
Flying Sword Style (Japanese Swordsmanship) (Black): A style created by a hermit who escaped reality. Although it bears the name of a killing sword, it is practiced as a sword technique to aid the weak and punish the strong. If thrown into a time of chaos, it will only become a tool of murder.
Japanese Swordsmanship…
Bai Ye was not familiar with this. But it was a high-level item from a black capsule, so it couldn't be too bad.
"Shouldn't this directly declare the end of the game?" Bai Ye chuckled. "My luck has turned!"
To describe Bai Ye's current mood in one sentence:
"As the spring breeze gallops his horse, I am Ibrahimović!"
As for the last capsule, Bai Ye now had plenty of Spirit Stone fragments, so he wouldn't gamble on luck. He would save it as a trump card.
Moreover, according to the laws of metaphysics, Bai Ye felt that after drawing a black capsule for the second time, continuing to draw might result in a bad one, a so-called "peak and decline."
With these thoughts, Bai Ye left the convenience store and began walking along the street towards the radio and television tower.
After about a thousand meters, Bai Ye stopped and walked towards a seven-story building. Reaching the rooftop, he took out his gun case, set up the tripod, and mounted the Reaper's Strike.
What fun is fighting and killing?
True happiness lies in being an opportunist!
However, whether he could be happy depended on whether others played along.
But Bai Ye believed it wasn't a problem. He had enough patience, and after all, this was a survival game. As long as he lived long enough, it didn't matter if he didn't see anyone.
Bai Ye thought as he leaned over the rooftop railing, taking out a pouch of "Suckable Jelly" and slurping it.
With the camouflage effect of the Reaper's Strike, Bai Ye quickly blended into the night. Smoke billowed from distant buildings, but there had been no significant activity for a long time. Bai Ye guessed that the commotion had mostly ended. He wondered if anyone else had died besides You Ji.
Just then…
*Rumble!*
A sound suddenly came from not far away.
Bai Ye's half-closed eyes snapped open. He quickly changed position to the other side of the building, set up the Reaper's Strike, and observed below through the scope.
It was an alley, and he could see dust swirling out from within.
"Are they fighting?"
Bai Ye murmured, his gaze locked onto the alley entrance.
Soon, another sound echoed. Then, a figure suddenly flew out of the alley and slammed against the wall.
A young man wearing a baseball cap and a baseball jacket.
Bai Ye recognized him because he was one of the last two people, a man and a woman, to arrive at the building.
And his identity was…
Xu Gou!
Judging by the number of Forbidden Zone missions completed, his strength was ranked towards the bottom. In fact, the current situation showed Xu Gou was being beaten.
So, the question was…
Who was beating Xu Gou?
As Bai Ye was thinking, a silver glint suddenly appeared from the alley, heading straight for Xu Gou.
Xu Gou reacted quickly, leaping to the side. Then, a thunderous roar erupted as the silver light shattered a section of the wall.
"Flying sword?" Bai Ye murmured. "Situ Chicheng?"
Bai Ye…
Guess correctly!
Xu Gou ran rapidly along the side of the alley, but at that moment, a sword's hum sounded. Immediately, Situ Chicheng leaped onto the rooftop and chased after Xu Gou.
He formed a sword seal and Situ Chicheng shouted, "Shu Mountain Ten Thousand Sword Art!"
Instantly, Situ Chicheng's flying sword vanished into the air and, within the silver light, split into countless pieces. In the blink of an eye, they became a dense swarm and began to descend towards Xu Gou.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
Each falling sword light was accompanied by a deafening roar. The ground was quickly riddled with craters. Even a small house by the street, after enduring continuous sword strikes, collapsed directly, turning into a pile of ruins.
Xu Gou, on the other hand, used an ability called "Divine Speed," his running speed suddenly increasing, but it was useless!
The dense sword light was simply too much. Even though Xu Gou was incredibly agile and ran at lightning speed, utilizing surrounding buildings for cover, he soon sustained several sword wounds. Blood flowed from the wounds, staining his clothes. His chest heaved, and he gasped for breath.
Bai Ye lowered the Reaper's Strike. He wasn't watching anymore!
If there was an opportunity, Bai Ye hoped they would both be injured, and then he could act as an opportunist and finish off the remaining one. But…
The difference in strength was too obvious. Xu Gou was completely beaten by Situ Chicheng, unable to fight back!
Situ Chicheng was destined to win!
