At 10:47 AM, You Ji died!
The news of You Ji's demise appeared on all electronic billboards in the city.
However, Bai Ye found it pointless, as everyone was still engaged in combat within the building.
In fact, just as Bai Ye finished off You Ji, he heard a tremendous crash from the floors above. It didn't sound like an explosion, but more like the impact of heavy objects. If he wasn't mistaken, others must have started fighting. Dust rained down from the ceiling.
Bai Ye had no intention of lingering in the area. Let them fight amongst themselves. When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman benefits. It was a good situation.
He glanced at the elevator. The doors had been dented by You Ji's two punches, rendering it unusable.
Bai Ye had no choice but to re-enter his spirit form and pass through the outer wall. Then, using his spirit form's low-altitude flight ability, he descended towards the ground.
Upon landing, Bai Ye surveyed his surroundings, checked the environment, and then walked forward, soon entering a convenience store.
Quickly, Bai Ye stuffed packs of playing cards into his pockets.
The Paper God ability was quite useful, but Bai Ye hadn't used it since entering the Death Amusement Park. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had run out of playing cards.
The most frustrating aspect of this ability was that it required paper-based items to be used.
Therefore, Bai Ye was currently replenishing his "ammunition."
And then...
It was time for the gachapon machines.
With a bang, a giant gachapon machine suddenly appeared, smashing down beside Bai Ye and then began to spin.
The first one...
"Damn it..." Bai Ye looked speechlessly at the white gachapon in his hand, "Why is it you again?"
Great Inventor (Ability): Every hour, a technological item can be randomly invented.
Bai Ye felt his entire being numb. This was the third time he had drawn this thing.
However, as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. After the first white gachapon...
Clink!
A black gachapon followed, dropping from the machine.
Bai Ye's eyes immediately lit up. A high-grade item gachapon!
Flying Sword Style (Wadojutsu) (Black): A style created by a hermit who shunned reality. Though known as a killing sword, it is revered as a sword technique for punishing the wicked and protecting the good. In times of chaos, it would only become a tool of murder.
Wadojutsu...
Bai Ye was unfamiliar with this. But considering it was a high-grade item from a black gachapon, it couldn't possibly be too bad.
"Shouldn't this directly signal the end of the game?" Bai Ye scoffed, "My luck has finally turned!"
To describe Bai Ye's current mood in one sentence:
He felt as buoyant as a horse galloping with the spring breeze, Ibra-kadabra!
As for the last gachapon, Bai Ye now had plenty of Divine Stone fragments and had no intention of gambling his luck. He would save it as a trump card.
Moreover, according to the laws of metaphysics, Bai Ye felt that after drawing a black gachapon the second time, if he continued drawing, the next one would likely be a dud, a so-called decline after reaching the peak.
With this thought, Bai Ye left the convenience store and began to make his way down the street towards the radio and television tower.
After about a kilometer, Bai Ye stopped, walked towards a seven-story building, and once on the rooftop, he took out his gun case, set up the tripod, and mounted the Reaper's Strike.
What's the fun in all this fighting?
True joy comes from being an opportunist!
However, whether he could truly enjoy himself depended on whether others cooperated.
But Bai Ye felt it wasn't an issue. 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 encounter anyone.
Bai Ye thought to himself as he leaned over the rooftop railing, and took out a packet of jelly straws to sip.
Using the camouflage effect of the Reaper's Strike, Bai Ye quickly blended into the night. Black smoke billowed from distant buildings, but there had been no major disturbances for a long time. Bai Ye guessed that the commotion had probably ended. He wondered if anyone else had died besides You Ji.
But at this moment...
Rumble!
A sound suddenly came from not far away.
Bai Ye's half-closed eyes snapped open. He quickly repositioned himself to the other side of the building, set up the Reaper's Strike, and peered down through the scope.
It was an alley. He could see swirling dust blowing out from it.
"Are they fighting?"
Bai Ye murmured, his gaze locked onto the alley entrance.
Soon, another sound echoed, followed by a figure suddenly flying out of the alley and slamming into the wall.
A young man wearing a baseball cap and a baseball jacket.
Bai Ye recognized him because he was one of the last man and woman to arrive at the building.
And his identity was...
Xu Gou!
Judging by the number of forbidden zone missions completed, his strength was among the lower ranks. In fact, the current situation suggested that Xu Gou was indeed taking a beating.
So, the question was...
Who was beating Xu Gou?
As Bai Ye pondered, a silver light suddenly appeared from the alley entrance, heading straight for Xu Gou.
Xu Gou reacted quickly, leaping to the side. Then, a thunderous roar sounded as the silver light shattered a section of the wall.
"Flying sword?" Bai Ye murmured, "Situ Chicheng?"
Bai Ye...
He guessed correctly!
Xu Gou sprinted rapidly along the side of the alley, but at that moment, a sword's hum suddenly rang out. Immediately, Situ Chicheng leaped onto the rooftop, chasing after Xu Gou.
With a flick of his sword, Situ Chicheng let out a low cry, "Shushan Myriad Sword Art!"
In an instant, Situ Chicheng's flying sword vanished into the air and then split endlessly within the silver light, becoming a dense swarm in the blink of an eye. It then rained down towards Xu Gou.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Each falling sword light produced a deafening roar. The ground was quickly covered in countless potholes. Even a small house by the street, after enduring consecutive sword strikes, collapsed, turning into a pile of ruins.
Xu Gou, on the other hand, used an ability called "Divine Speed," and his running speed suddenly increased. But it was useless!
The dense sword light was simply too overwhelming. Even though Xu Gou was incredibly agile and ran at incredible speeds, using surrounding buildings for cover, he quickly sustained several sword wounds. Blood flowed from the wounds, staining his clothes. His chest heaved as 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 wounded, and then he would step in as an opportunist to finish off the remaining one. But...
The gap in strength was too obvious. Xu Gou was completely outmatched by Situ Chicheng, unable to retaliate!
Situ Chicheng was destined to win!
