Infinite Mask Game.

Chapter 264 Advantage Zone

Zixu's elimination first made the travelers feel uneasy.

Wei Miao held the sickle in his hand and watched quietly as the crow feathers on the ground turned into black smoke and dissipated.

She recalled the hunting moment just now, the silent killing, and the despair and fear that stood out against it.

The travelers came here with a bit of a gaming mentality. If ordinary people were really pulled into this place, they would probably collapse after a while.

Zixu's death was not unjust, as Wei Miao was able to infer his mental journey based on his performance.

When Zixu sensed her, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, so he did nothing.

But she stayed nearby for a long time, so Zixu would certainly notice something was wrong. If he was decisive, the right thing to do would be to run away, and there would still be a glimmer of hope.

Unfortunately, he was obsessed with his own stealth skills and was psychologically constrained by them. He was unwilling to easily give up his advantages and confront the Soul Hunter head-on.

When Wei Miao passed by his hiding place, Zixu clearly saw her, but he was lucky enough to think that the soul hunter had not discovered him.

In fact, he was in a difficult situation at that time. The Soul Hunter was too close to him. If he moved, he would be hunted down immediately.

When Wei Miao found Zixu, he didn't look away. Soul hunters have a wider field of vision than normal humans.

Sniffing out prey is only the first step; killing the prey is the key.

At that time, Zixu was leaning against the opposite corner.

If she climbed through the window and entered the house, Li Zixu would still be several meters away.

He reacted immediately, got up and climbed out of the window behind him.

Just like running, window flipping has mandatory regulations. Once you make the window flipping action, the system will take over and continue the action. The speed is what it should be, and it is impossible to break the set upper limit. However, there will be a certain degree of fluctuation depending on the actual posture and action.

The speed of running through the window and jumping through the window in place is different, the former is faster than the latter.

The speed of the Traveler's window flipping is faster than that of the Soul Hunter. Wei Miao is not sure about the speed of the Traveler's window flipping, and the upper limit of the Soul Hunter's window flipping speed is about 1.5 seconds.

With the speed difference between the two, Zixu might be able to leave the house when she entered, thus increasing the distance again. This was not what Wei Miao expected.

It was because Wei Miao saw Zixu's indecision during the hunting patrol that he dared to pretend to be ignorant and deceive him, so he went back from the other side and directly climbed in through the window which should have been his escape route.

Even if Zixu reacted quickly and ran to the opposite window, his action of climbing through the window would be almost completed by the time it was discovered. In addition, it would take time for him to run away and climb through the window, so the probability of successful escape was greatly reduced.

As it turned out, the soul hunter's figure flashing past the opposite window put great psychological pressure on Zixu, firmly attracting his attention. He was unable to react in time when Wei Miao climbed in through the window and was directly blocked in the corner.

This successful hunt consumed almost no resources, with both the Crow Feather Blade and the Flying Demon.

What Wei Miao needs to consider next is the same as the traveler.

"There are three travelers in the southeast city area. Two of them have already met, but they will definitely react when faced with the detective's elimination."

"Knowing the detective skill, they might have guessed that I used General Perception and left the area."

"But I'm heading to the candy machine anyway, and our routes overlap, so there's no harm in stopping by to check out the location. Maybe I can really catch him?"

When the remaining black smoke completely dissipated, the dark figure ran away again.

In the southeast city area, Bluebird is trying to persuade the wanderers.

Since all sounds were drowned out in the Requiem Realm, travelers were unable to communicate normally.

So the two could only use gestures and lip movements to express their feelings, using the native language of the instance. Even with the system's proficiency bonus, their grasp of the language was still awkward, and most of the time they were confused by each other's lip movements, and they stumbled and gesticulated when communicating.

"We have to leave here. The Soul Hunters will be here soon."

The wanderer groaned.

"You mean everyone is aware? But where should we go?" This question stumped Bluebird. She was struggling with this.

The location information previously obtained by [Detect Evil] becomes insignificant after a period of time.

She couldn't be sure where the Soul Hunter was at the moment or how far away he was.

But the Soul Hunters knew their location.

Before [Detect Evil] cools down, the traveler is temporarily at a disadvantage.

Sitting there and waiting for death is definitely not Bluebird's style.

Bluebird: "It's better to go anywhere than to stay where you are. If you go two blocks to the next door, the probability of running into a soul hunter is only 50%, but if you stay here, the probability of running into a soul hunter is 100%."

Wanderer: "Then all the time I opened so many doors, was it all in vain?"

Bluebird: "You can move the battlefield."

The wanderer said seriously: "But if I am discovered, I have the geographical advantage here, and I can't escape anywhere else."

Bluebird: "It seems... to make some sense?"

She actually thought there was nothing wrong with the wanderer's logic.

Bluebird asked him one last time: "So you really don't want to give up this place?"

The wanderer hesitated, but the bluebird didn't have the patience to continue to argue with him about this issue.

She was determined to leave.

"Then I'll go first, be careful."

Before the wanderer could try to stop it, the bluebird had already run towards one direction of the street.

That was the block where she was born. When she encountered the Wanderer in the southeast area but no other travelers, Bluebird guessed that the birthplaces of the four people should be evenly distributed, corresponding to the four blocks.

She would rather choose her birthplace than the other direction.

When both the front and the back are unknown, people tend to backtrack, hoping for a false sense of familiarity.

Bluebird did not realize that her attitude towards the Soul Hunter had changed subconsciously, from being eager to fight when she first entered the dungeon to cautious avoidance.

The intimidation posed by the Soul Hunter was beyond her expectations.

The wanderer stood there, watching the bluebird fly away in almost daze.

He didn't know what to do next.

He looked back at what he had been busy doing for the past half hour. The rows of buildings opened their doors to outsiders, and the gray walls were like silent tombstones.

He did not feel the expected sense of accomplishment. After learning of the impending threat, he was unwilling to give up the housing area he had worked on for a long time, but was also deeply terrified about the subsequent pursuit.

The most uncomfortable feeling is the feeling of being beheaded but not being able to.

The Soul Hunter would definitely come, he was sure of that.

The Wanderer suddenly realized something: "It's like... I built a cage for myself?"

He remembered what the casino cheater said when he encountered him: "The most important thing in a casino is to stay calm, withdraw in time, and not be blinded by a good situation."

He was unable to give up the geographical advantage he had worked so hard to gain, and was bound by the advantage, trapped in this housing area and still lingering here.

The Wanderer knew that he did not have the decisiveness of Bluebird, and was just about to grit his teeth and change his mind when a sudden perception startled him.

"The Soul Hunter has arrived!"
