Quadruple split.

Chapter 2303 118 seconds before encounter

Guo Shi Wushuang is really humorous——

The above is the subconscious feeling of countless viewers after hearing the conversation between the captain [Pai Lao] and Xiao Xiaobai. After all, everyone thinks that the statement "If you are a professional player, you must unite and be eliminated together" must be a joke. It is a witty remark that can only be used to make fun of someone when the two parties have a good personal relationship, thereby enhancing the effect of the show.

As for the seemingly serious remark, which was actually just a bad comment because he thought that [Wind-Breaking Bird] was rather 'loose', people did not think that Guo Shi Wushuang sincerely believed that Lusel and others would underestimate their opponents and lose in the semi-finals and miss the finals.

The reason is simple. After [Card Master] was eliminated and [Wind-Breaking Bird] successfully defeated [Red Constellation], those who still trusted professional players all placed their bets on the five players of Lusel. As for [Haunted Church], they were caught in a war of attrition in the last round because Gu Xiaole was severely injured. They did not win until the great Onmyoji recovered. The audience who thought they had uncovered the mystery were now able to look at this team objectively.

To put it simply, although they may not have as sharp a vision as professional players, any player with a little bit of skill can see that compared to [Sailor Moon], which is also a non-professional player team and has been advancing all the way after entering the finals, [Haunted Church] is actually not in an optimistic situation. For example, after losing the crushing point of 'Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole', the only breakthrough point they can find is to delay time until Gu Xiaole recovers his combat power.

In addition, people also realized that although player Yuying was good at [Life-Sacrificing Strike], from the time she entered people's field of vision until now, it seemed that this was the only move she could perform, and it was the kind that would doom her to fail whenever she used it. In this case, even if people did not have much awareness of prevention against this move before, it was impossible for the opponents in the last two games not to be on guard.

In the final analysis, the reason why so many people fell for Yuying's trick was that under normal circumstances, the skill [Fatal Strike] was completely suicidal, so that in a game like Innocence, where your account would be deleted upon death, its appearance rate was shockingly low, which led to people not having a corresponding sense of vigilance, allowing her to shine in team competitions and repeatedly replace core members of the enemy team.

However, when the opponent is on guard, the cost-effectiveness of the skill [Fatal Strike], which is extremely powerful but has great flaws when it is used, is shockingly low. In fact, in the semi-finals, [Heavy Metal] was already doing his best to defend against this move, but several people were too confident in Zhu Lan's future, so Mo Tan took advantage of the situation and directly brought him out of the blind spot for almost two seconds, allowing Yu Ying to succeed in one strike and take away Huo Yanyang directly.

To be honest, if his teammates had not trusted Zhu Lan's future vision too much and handed over all the warning work to him, with the personal levels of the players [Heavy Metal], they would have been able to defend against the [Fatal Blow] in nine out of ten cases. Even Huo Yanyang, who did not have as much gaming experience as Zhu Lan and others, had faced cultists in Sumir and crawled out of a sea of corpses and blood, so he had more than enough experience in life and death games.

Even if the audience cannot see these things and think that [Heavy Metal] underestimated the opponent, they can be sure that the opponents of [Haunted Church] in the last two games will never underestimate the opponent, and will not let go of Yuying, the fatal point.

In the above situation, after the strength of the remaining three members of [Haunted Church] was exposed, the number of their supporters immediately began to decline sharply. It’s not that Yidong, Heifan and Chen Wangyu are not strong, but they really can’t compare with [Wind-Breaking Bird].

If you think about it carefully, although [Haunted Church] made it to the finals, its opponents in the quarterfinals and semi-finals were [Infinite Mining] and [Heavy Metal] respectively. Before that, the strongest opponent they encountered was [Equally Matched Opponents], a team of non-professional players that included the president and vice president of the Bath of Fire Guild but were very casual.

Under this premise, people can clearly draw the conclusion that "Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole has a huge advantage in the competition." To put it bluntly, until the semi-finals, [Haunted Church] had an absolute advantage in individual strength, so that it could always maintain the "star tactics" and rely on a player who was at the top of the individual combat power rankings before the list was closed to attack the enemy team.

Of course, from an objective point of view, another non-professional team that made it to the semi-finals also had good luck on the final day. Sailor Moon's opponents in the quarter-finals and semi-finals were Good Luck and Bath of Fire respectively. Christina Yuk had an advantage in strength, but when they defeated Card Man head-on in the semi-finals, any doubts about the quality of this team would disappear instantly.

As for [Card Master], before meeting [Sailor Moon], they had actually encountered a team of [Joker] that had two top-level fighters at the same time. Although the latter had a clear disadvantage in terms of numbers, they were able to defeat the ultimate super-majority Mu Xuejian and survive Futaba's conspiracy, which has proved their level.

As for [Wind-Breaking Bird], just one sentence is enough—

They defeated their old rivals in the semi-finals, led by Xinglong, who ranked fourth in the [Individual Combat Power Ranking], and the [Red Constellation] gave it their all.

Although their victory was not beautiful, and could even be said to be a bit ugly, but when people noticed the rhythm of [Haunted Church] when Xiaole in the Great Onmyoji Valley was temporarily unable to intervene in the battle, it was really hard to think that these guys could put any pressure on [Wind-Breaking Bird].

Ordinary audiences think so.

Most professional players think so.

Even 50% of the guests and 75% of the commentators thought so.

But the resident guest Xueyin and commentator Xiao Xiaobai seem to have different views on this matter -

"I support the haunted church!"

After Zheng Tai tactfully said that the non-professional team would suffer a disadvantage in the matchup, Xue Yin clenched her hands and said seriously: "We think they can win!"

"good taste."

Xiao Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he nodded and asked curiously, "Why?"

But Xue Yin shook her head and said honestly: "I don't know, maybe it's intuition, but... well, but my intuition is very accurate!"

"Oh?"

But Tianshu smiled casually, raised his eyebrows mischievously and said, "But I remember that in the last round, the [Red Constellation] that was favored by Teacher Xueyin was unable to defeat the [Wind-Breaking Bird] that you did not support to advance."

The boy who looked to be in his teens leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and said seriously like a little adult: "The most important thing is that based on the information revealed by both sides, the [Haunted Church] is severely suppressed by the [Wind-Breaking Bird]."

Xiao Bingbing, who knew a lot about [Boundary of Innocence], nodded slightly and agreed, "That's right. In terms of top players, Lusel was already one step ahead of the Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole before the rankings were closed. Not only that, based on his fighting style when he was restraining Xinglong, he was a nightmare for spellcasters."

"It may not be a nightmare, but it is definitely a very difficult problem."

The special guest Guo Shi Wushuang, who could be considered a spellcaster, shrugged and said very pertinently: "Grandpa Lu is too fast, and he doesn't even need to control the Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole. He just needs to restrict her a little bit."

"For the core, Lusail will face the Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole. For the treatment, the Alchemist will face the Black Fan."

Shota narrowed his eyes and analyzed in a calm tone, "In terms of functionality, Shiyin vs. Yuying. In the end, the remaining two strong attack points for [Wind-Breaking Bird] are Youming and Xizhao, while the remaining two points for [Haunted Church] are Chenwangyu and Lindong. They are both output positions, so I feel that the former has an overall advantage."

Xue Yin pursed her lips and said unconvincedly, "So you all think that the Haunted Church has a high probability of not winning?"

Tianshu smiled slightly and said casually, "Of course not. You should know that [Wind-Breaking Bird] was also not favored in the last round, but it still won the game in the end. In the final analysis, before the two sides really fight, our casual analysis is just a kind of 'subjective conjecture'."

I need to mention here that, up to this moment, neither Guo Shi Wushuang, Zheng Tai, Tian Shu nor Xiao Bing Bing had any intention of "acting". Among them, the former was just an ordinary person outside the game, not to mention the four commentators who had very complicated backgrounds, but at this moment, they were still rationally inclined to believe that [Breaking Wind Bird] would win.

As for the reasons, Zhengtai, Tianshu and Xiaobingbing have already said it. The reason why these people are optimistic about the [Wind-Breaking Bird] is naturally that they were deceived by the [Haunted Church] just like everyone else.

As mentioned before, the system has very strict control over player information, and even these "supermen" find it difficult to see the full picture. The reason why Xiaomian and others were very reliable in the last game was because the two things [Domain] and [Inherent Barrier] happened to hit their specialties, but this game was not a domain war.

There is no reason why things that even top professional players cannot see can be instantly perceived by these people who understand the operating logic of [Realm of Innocence] but have never played the game and cannot be on the scene.

For example, suppose you have two photos in your hand, one is a high-resolution half-length photo of the Chinese parasol tree, and the other is a close-up photo of an adult corgi. If you are asked which of the two is better at fighting, even if you are a top fighter, you will most likely choose the Chinese parasol tree if you don't have more information.

The reason is simple: a man who looks to be in his thirties, no matter how weak he is, can theoretically defeat a short-legged pet dog.

But! Also based on the premise that you are a top expert, if you were placed on the same lawn with the micro-leaved sycamore and corgi in the photo, you would be able to realize through their breath, aura or momentum that the two sides are at most 40% to 60%.

Dog 6.

Similarly, although the four official commentators are all capable of playing the main villain in a superhero movie, they may not be able to give an authoritative answer because of the screen and [Field]/[Inherent Barrier] is not the main theme. The most they can do is to give a professional reference like Guo Shi Wushuang.

That is: [Wind-Breaking Bird] is indeed strong on paper.

As for Xiao Xiaobai and Xue Yin who held opposing opinions, the former followed the route of the previous commentator Dahua Qianniu and "brainlessly praised" because her daughter was there, while the latter believed that Hei Fan, who had a close connection with "Tan", would never be defeated easily.

As the haunted church was part of the team involved, it naturally had no intention of disappointing the two.

In fact, after the Sailor Moon team stood out and became the champion of the upper half, Mo Tan no longer planned to make any reservations.

after all--

……

Mirror Space S1928-6273, Jinhui Riverside

"I never thought of hiding it from them from the beginning."

Mo Tan said something that only his teammates could understand, which was actually referring to the "outsiders" of the Sailor Moon Team. He calmly glanced around the open space around the Haunted Church, which he had never left since entering the competition. He gently shook the cross on his wrist that was emitting a hazy halo, and turned to the psychic who was emitting a strange deathly aura and had blue mist in his eyes. "How are your preparations going?"

"five minutes."

Yi Dong gave an answer immediately, and then added: "But I need at least half a second of control."

"Then you'll have to ask Sister Xiaole."

Mo Tan turned to the Great Onmyoji holding the [Black Hatchling: Divination and Decision] and said, "After all, she is Lusail's first target."

"At least one second."

Gu Xiaole answered confidently, and just as Mo Tan was about to say something, he fixed his eyes and whispered, "Found it!"

Yuying, who was squatting next to him, immediately stopped breathing and asked with wide eyes, "Where is it!?"

"Southeast, not close, but fast."

Gu Xiaole raised his bat shirt and summoned the two shikigami, Front Ghost and Back Ghost, who were both extremely intelligent and possessed high-level peak strength. He said seriously, "The sickle-weasel has been thrown off, but according to its observations just now, it will only last for three minutes at most!"

"Yuying."

Mo Tan, who knew all the companion character panels like the back of his hand, nodded, and then calmly called out to the female assassin who was so nervous that her whole body was stiff: "Soul Breaking Stab Back Attack Winter, Hide; Forget Words, Open Tranquility Aura, and Only Fill Soul Soothing."

Buzz——

The next second, a flash of blood light passed behind Yidong, directly reducing his health from 100% to 72%. Then Yuying's figure quickly dimmed and faded, and finally disappeared into the air at the visual level.

At the same time, Yu Chen, who was still wearing the black priest robe, also put his hands together and released a [Aura of Tranquility] centered on himself, which was about three times more effective than that of a Dawn Priest of the same rank. He also actively cast a mental comfort on Yu Ying the moment she completely disappeared from his sight.

Then, Her Highness the Saint pursed her lips nervously and whispered, "Interference, darkness."

"Shadow is diverted to Zombie."

"it is good."

"Can you please stop calling me Zombie?"

"How long?"

"After that stabbing, I'm even closer to death. There are still two...wait, one minute left?"

"It is only fitting that darkness cures death."

"Amazing! How did you know that the Wind-Breaking Bird would come directly here? Uh, can I ask this?"

"Yes, because Shion is an astrologer."

"Ah? How did you know?"

"Because I happen to have a friend who knows a lot about astrologers."
