Excessive ferocity due to caution

"What are you looking at?"

Luo Qili asked in a low voice. The two were in a corner, and the players were relatively isolated from each other.

Now that they are in a competitive relationship, their wariness of each other has reached its peak.

The atmosphere was tense, like a battleground!

What they lack now is simply an opportunity and a reason to take action.

The game's name is "Dedication".

However, players who are capable of entering the Tide of Demons are definitely not people who are willing to sacrifice their own interests or even their lives for others!

Zhao Yi's gaze swept across every corner of the square.

Since he devoured X-3 and the evil god meme was rebuilt once again, he now has access to slightly more information.

Because of the information labels, Zhao Yi was able to easily see details that many people couldn't see with their naked eyes.

"I'm looking at hidden cameras."

"There are 67 pinhole cameras in the lobby, which can observe every corner... This is a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qili immediately became nervous.

It's hard for her not to be nervous when she learns that everything she does is being watched.

"You think being monitored is a good thing?"

Luo Qili didn't know how to criticize Zhao Yi anymore.

She now discovers that Zhao Yi is much crazier than the rumors suggest.

Zhao Yi pointed with his eyes to the corner near the red gate on the left side of the square and said:

"Do you see that corner?"

"I'm going to die there, ass up."

Luo Qili: "???"

She glanced at Zhao Yi beside her in surprise, wondering what kind of crazy thing this guy was doing now.

"Are you... joking?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"No, I'm serious..."

"You'll have to complete the main quest alone... but if you're lucky, I should be able to offer some assistance."

Luo Qili wasn't stupid; upon hearing this, she vaguely guessed what Zhao Yi was planning to do.

"Isn't that too risky?"

Zhao Yi shook his head slightly.

"If I'm not mistaken, your side quest reward is a phone battery, right?"

Luo Qili nodded.

Zhao Yi continued:

"We need to get the battery as quickly as possible... Since our future 'us' is guiding us to this place to get the battery on the third day, we might have to call our first-day 'us' today to complete the logical loop!"

"Even if the locations don't match, at least the times need to match. The sooner we can use mobile phones, the more likely we are to fit the correct timeline!"

Luo Qili understood.

If, in the correct timeline, they made the call to the first day at 6 PM on the third day to give the hint, but because they finished their side quest too late on the third day, the call wouldn't be answered until 7 or 8 PM, then they might have entered another... incorrect timeline!

For example, on this wrong timeline, Zhao Yi had already left the hotel on the first day and gone to other places, and the guide phone in his empty room was only ringing late!

"What do you want to do?"

Luo Qili was not optimistic.

Zhao Yi said:

"It's very simple, we do this, that, and then this..."

After hearing Zhao Yi's plan, Luo Qili looked puzzled.

What's the difference between this and sending someone to their death?

"Give me the flashlight first."

Luo Qili handed Zhao Yi a flashlight.

The latter gave it a try.

perfectly worked.

"What do you need a flashlight for?"

Zhao replied without looking up:

"To perform photosynthesis."

Luo Qili: "..."

...

In the live stream room:

What the hell is photosynthesis... So you call yourself a vegetable?

My heart aches for Luo Qili, having such a freak teammate... Not only can she not win an argument, but she can't even beat him in a fight...

Is it possible that... he's telling the truth?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! (Cao Cao meme)

Brother Zhao's thought process is so unpredictable; we mere mortals simply can't fathom what he'll do next...

: ……

...

time flies.

The tension in the air grew stronger, and some players even began to focus their murderous gazes on weaker players in small groups!

There are two doors, and only 200 people can pass through at a time.

But they... have 600!

Including those who just died, there are about five hundred people left!

To survive the first hurdle safely... at least three hundred more people must die!

Killing one more person means a greater chance of survival for yourself!

As a result, small-scale unrest began to occur.

Many players took out various melee weapons or small pistols and began to attack the people around them!

Pfft!

It was unclear who had their throat slit; they didn't even have time to scream. Blood bubbles were gushing from their throats, making a continuous gurgling sound.

Click!

Another person had their spine broken silently and collapsed to the ground.

Although a disturbance broke out in the crowd, most people did not take action.

They are not devoid of conscience; they are simply preserving their own strength.

Those who stand by and watch coldly often wield the sharpest butcher's knife!

Baal hid in the crowd, and even the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't understand why such a murderer refrained from making a move.

Did Baal change her gender?

of course not.

There was only one reason why he refrained from taking action—Zhao Yi.

When a diner is faced with a dish they like, they will naturally stop focusing on inferior food.

Especially this dish... he's been thinking about it for so many years!

From childhood to adulthood!

Today... I can finally taste it.

Barr even felt a slight unease, as if not being prepared with enough elegance and patience would be a waste of such a delicious dish!

Therefore, he did not kill Zhao Yi directly at the beginning.

Observe...smell...touch...

Only at the very end can one truly savor the flavor.

The pervasive smell of blood in the air was, for Baal, just the right appetizer.

The red splattering from people's necks was like fine wine, like jade liquid.

He trembled with excitement, his morbidly focused gaze fixed on Zhao Yi, his fingers shaking uncontrollably from the killing intent inherent in his genes!

Let's hold back a little longer; it's not time yet!

Baal said this to himself.

The next moment, Zhao Yi's gaze met Baal's.

It's exactly the same as it was back then.

Nothing has changed.

That is--

A different kind of appreciation.

An elegant gaze, yet one that sends chills down your spine.

Deep in his eyes was Zhao Yi's unreserved praise for him.

There was also a greedy desire to devour him completely!

Just by looking at the other person standing there, Baal knew that the man who was only level 5... was at the top of the food chain!

Clenching his fists tightly, Baal awaited the final moment!

Zhao Yi left him with a lifelong, indelible inner shadow... It can only be erased with Zhao Yi's blood!

...

Zhao Yi had no idea that Baal's inner thoughts were so profound and obscure.

After all, to him, Baal was no different from the pigs raised in the pigsty.

She's just a bit fair-skinned and a bit chubby.

He had deliberately left something in Baal's body, like fertilizer, to make the killing genes in Baal's body... grow extremely strong.

Once the pigs are fattened up, of course we'll eat them.

"die!"

Suddenly, a vicious and chilling scream came from behind. A person wielding a blood axe leaped up from behind Zhao Yi and slashed fiercely at him!

The man in front of me is only Lv5!

They're the perfect target for bullying!

Having received Zhao Yi's prior instructions, Luo Qili did not stop him, but instead cunningly hid at a certain distance from Zhao Yi!

Just as the Blood Axe was about a foot away from the back of Zhao Yi's head, Zhao Yi suddenly took a step back and blocked the opponent's arm with his shoulder, causing the Blood Axe attack to miss immediately!

Just as the man was filled with horror, Zhao Yi's scalpel appeared and left a small cut on his body.

External injury.

But some black tentacles have grown out.

The player regained his footing and tried to continue attacking Zhao Yi, but the difference in strength between him and Zhao Yi was too great. He was no match for Zhao Yi and was quickly subdued by Zhao Yi with his bare hands.

However, Zhao Yi did not kill him.

But...

He took out a bowl of fragrant meat soup, forcibly pinched the player's nose, and forced it down his throat!

...

[Item: The Butcher's Carefully Cooked Soup]

[Quality: Consumable]

[Synopsis: Though a butcher, his culinary skills are impeccable; however, for some reason, the food he makes always seems to contain resentment and bitterness!]

[Effect: Prematurely depletes part of your life force, granting immense power, but also triggering a maddening rampage that affects even your closest relatives. This rampage lasts for five minutes. For twelve hours after the rampage ends, you will be completely incapacitated!]

[Note: Do you want to be a coward for life, or a hero for a moment?]

...

Glug glug glug—

Watching the player finish the soup, Zhao Yi immediately placed the player's body on the adulterer's skateboard and kicked it at Baal in the distance.

And with a smile, he mouthed:

Here's a small gift for you.

When the player reached Baal's feet, Zhao Yi retrieved the skateboard.

Baal stared at the level 7 player on the ground, who was foaming at the mouth and convulsing, and frowned slightly.

An ominous premonition crept into my heart...
