Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 348 About the Demon Team

“If you find it too strenuous, just wear a mask.” Mu Xiang gestured with his chin toward the green mask hanging on Zhang Heng’s waist. “This is a critical matter, and you are absolutely the main force! Even if we are disgusted, I’ll accept it, since the main force that will eat your stuff is the Demon Team.”

Zhang Heng's face rarely showed hesitation and struggle. Mu Xiang patted him on the shoulder: "I'm serious. From the perspective of the whole game, your importance is even greater than ours... Brother, you don't want your teammates to lose either, right?"

"Of course!" Zhang Heng stood up straight and shouted, "I mean, of course we don't want that!"

Mu Xiang nodded in satisfaction, and was about to continue his flirtatious remarks when his expression froze. He then glanced warily at the mask on Zhang Heng's waist.

"Ahem... Let's get back to business." Mu Xiang said seriously, "I can't be sure about the others either, I can only say that they got the information from Chu Xuan."

"During the scan, Zhan Lan also confirmed the other party's mental controller. The Demon Team has two mental controllers, one is this white man, and the other is this blonde girl... Their mental characteristics are very obvious. In terms of individual strength, they are not as good as Zhan Lan, but they must have a combined skill. In this case, Zhan Lan may be forcibly replaced."

"But judging from the strength of the Demon Team, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate a mental power controller of similar level to Zhan Lan... Obviously, they used the income that could have been used for specialization to enhance other abilities, so they are not as good as Zhan Lan in mental power specialization, but they cannot be treated as blank mental power controllers with no combat power."

Zhan Lan chuckled and said, "But according to your plan, since they've confirmed that I'm the only mental controller and that I'm stronger than them, shouldn't they find an opportunity to switch places with me? I listened to you and deliberately held back a bit, so they could scan our specific situation."

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "That's right, but don't relax too much... Even if you enhance other combat abilities, they will still be related to mental power to some extent. For example, the metal control I showed you can be remotely controlled through mental power, which is why I'm emphasizing this point... Don't think this is only for melee fighters; the other ranged combat team members should also pay attention."

“Indeed, if they use their mental powers to launch a long-range attack or interference against us, we could suffer heavy losses if caught off guard… But if they really show themselves, I can just counterattack directly.” Zhan Lan touched her forehead.

Mu Xiang shook his head: "No need for now. You need to maintain a feeling of being stronger but not too much stronger, and play a role in order to make Chu Xuan... the clone Chu Xuan plot against you. It's not that difficult to lure this guy into making a move; I'd be willing to gamble if there's a 50% chance. But first, you can't let him notice anything unusual."

Zhang Jie lit a cigarette and laughed, "Don't worry, with my help, Zhan Lan won't give herself away... Those two brats won't notice, and Chu Xuan certainly won't, right? Is he really a god?"

Mu Xiang glanced at the sky and shook his head slightly: "Just in case."

[If a higher power intervenes... his inexplicable inspiration could backfire.]

"As for the others, this dark-skinned, thin man is Nochard. I saw him in Chu Xuan's file." Mu Xiang casually made up a story. "He's a sniper for the Demon Team. Just to be on the safe side, let's assume he's also enhanced with the Dot-Line Demon Eye series."

Zero said calmly, "I will find his trail, and he will be handed over to me."

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll leave the long-range sniping to you. As a sniper copied into the Demon Team by the Main God, I even suspect he specializes in this. Although you have troll blood, if he also has the Demon Eye, you'll be on the same starting line."

Zero nodded silently, then said nothing more. But everyone understood that he had accepted the mission with utmost reliability… In a sniper duel, both sides need to suppress the entire battlefield and be aware of each other's presence. Such a duel is extremely dangerous!
“These two big men, one white and one Asian… uh, judging by their appearance, they’re Thai. They should both be melee fighters. Just to be on the safe side, let’s assume they’re both at the second tier.” Mu Xiang pondered for a moment. “Overlord, you only need to take on the role of a gunner at the beginning. Don’t reveal your werewolf bloodline. There are many ways to eliminate you as the gunner, but given the situation of the Demon Team, sending out melee fighters is the most reasonable approach.”

Ba Wang chuckled: "Then I'll fight them in close combat, right?" Mu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Not them, we can still make sure you only face one... With your A-level bloodline, defeating a second-tier melee fighter isn't difficult."

"Leave it to me!" The Overlord patted his chest with his large, rough hands, and a sound of muscles clashing rang out.

“Zhao Zhuikong might come looking for you, but you should know what to do… You can handle a melee fighter from the Demon Team, right?” Mu Xiang turned to look at Zhao Yingkong.

Zhao Yingkong kept her head down, her expression unreadable: "Of course..."

The other team members probably guessed that Zhao Zhuikong and Zhao Yingkong were related, but they didn't know the specifics. Although Zhao Yingkong was usually aloof, her coldness became even more pronounced after entering the horror movie, especially when she saw Zhao Zhuikong, which made the others afraid to ask.

"I can't tell what this white man is capable of. Judging from his current role as an assistant and the way he walks, he's probably one of the weaker melee fighters in the Demon Squad. We'll talk about the specifics on the battlefield. As long as he dares to go to the front lines, we have plenty of ways to deal with him."

In fact, even Mu Xiang knew nothing about Frodo of the Demon Team's abilities. Aside from knowing he was white, there was virtually no description... except for his attack on a female member of the Central Continent Team, where he was killed by a clone of Zheng Zha. If we were to rule out other possibilities, it might be him who tore the Central Continent Team's rookie to pieces, which is why Mu Xiang deduced he was a melee fighter.

After all, Chu Xuan doesn't have this fetish, and Tom and Amy are both healthy in body and mind...

“The other two female members of the Demon Team, one of whom is carrying a bow, is obviously a ranged attacker. But she will probably come to Zhang Heng first. You know what to do, right?” Mu Xiang turned to look at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng was taken aback for a moment: "Why?" Then he coughed: "Well, don't worry, although I like looking at beautiful women, I won't do anything reckless at a time like this... Fight as usual."

As for the other female member... Mu Xiang had no clue. It seemed that she was a variable in the Demon Team, but he didn't know what her relationship was with the clone Chu Xuan or Li Xiaoyi.

Mental scanning has its drawbacks, namely that it can easily reveal what the other party wants you to see... Now, the Demon Team has also abandoned mental scanning, compressing their mental energy into a certain range to form a shield, so the movements of their respective team members are completely unknown.

This extra team member might be a random variable, or it might be related to something else... Mu Xiang preferred to believe it was the latter. The clone Chu Xuan wouldn't let such a variable go; and from the "author's" perspective, this person might also possess some very imaginative abilities.

He can't and doesn't need to hide this variable; that's Chu Xuan's style... but while he can feign weakness, I can't treat her as a useless pawn.

[The Demons are adopting a stance of relying on the Umbrella Corporation for protection; where does their confidence come from?]

What is your relationship with this woman?
