Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 77 Good News and Bad News

The members of the Zhongzhou team spent the second night with mixed feelings.

This time, everyone slept around the Buddhist scriptures. Although the position was very uncomfortable, most of them were asleep before dawn... They were completely unaware of what was happening outside the hotel, or even in other rooms of the hotel.

Only four people knew the truth. Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong had been breathing steadily for a long time. Although Zhao Yingkong looked at Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan as if they were crazy, it wasn't difficult for the assassin to accept such a thing.

You can't expect a killer from a family of assassins to have any sympathy for the foreigners in so-called horror movies.

Zheng Zha knew he couldn't sleep, so he silently leaned against the wall.

Zhan Lan's mental chains connected him and Mu Xiang, while Zhan Lan herself used her mental power to block their conversation and went to sleep.

Mu Xiang sighed inwardly. Zheng Zha couldn't sleep, and so could he... Mu Xiang was the kind of person with a lot of energy. Neither his current physical condition nor the current conflicts would allow him to fall asleep while watching a horror movie.

The two talked in their hearts all night long, and Mu Xiang himself felt that it was somewhat like psychological counseling.

But overall, it's definitely better than getting psychological counseling from Chu Xuan.

“Not being strong enough is not an excuse… but I will still strive to become stronger until we have choices and the ability to give others choices,” Zheng Zha sighed.

Mu Xiang silently thought to himself, "It's hard to survive here, and it's even harder to live without burdens... With our abilities, having chosen our partners, we have no energy left to pursue anything else. I can only make the most beneficial choice... Asking for anything else is a luxury."

After saying all this, he felt a little lost... His hands seemed to have gotten dirty long ago, so could he keep his heart clean? Could he keep his promise to his friends?

“The Buddhist scriptures definitely won’t last until the seventh day.” This was Mu Xiang’s assessment. “So I’ll give them at most three days to wipe out the Northern Flame Continent team. At least one day is needed for us to retreat to the temple… In the worst-case scenario, the temple will make our defense a little easier. Zheng Zha, good luck.”

"Keep going... Let's survive together, at least, all of us have to survive. That's not too much to ask, right? Hehe," Zheng Zha murmured to himself.

Zheng Zha's will to survive is truly strong... Even though the path for the Zhongzhou team is much easier now, he still retains that same high level of determination to survive. Mu Xiang believes that Zheng Zha will definitely have the strength to uphold his beliefs, even...

Even though the Demons are the main characters in this novel.

Let's work together then.

When everyone woke up, all they could eat were compressed biscuits and the like... Fortunately, there was plenty of food bought at midnight, and the flavors were quite varied.

"You're already tired of this after just two days?" Mu Xiang crushed a bag of compressed biscuits with two fingers and ate half of it. "Zheng Zha and I prepared some other food, but it's either snacks that don't keep you full or the God's compressed diet... If you're talking about enjoyment, this is much better."

Seeing the expressions on Zhan Lan's and the other newcomers' faces, Zheng Zha couldn't help but raise his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay... if you really want some snacks, just ask me, but there aren't many."

"Just spoil them," Mu Xiang said with a smile.

After finishing his meal at midnight, Lingdian wanted to check out the sniping positions around the area, but Mu Xiang stopped him. Just as Mu Xiang was about to explain quietly to Lingdian, Chu Xuan bluntly told everyone the truth:

“I don’t recommend anyone step out of this room, even if they just want to go next door… The situation is that going out could mean death.”

It has to be you...

Mu Xiang smiled wryly and released his grip on Lingdian's hand, watching Chu Xuan explain the situation to everyone.

Upon hearing Chu Xuan's explanation, the others looked at him as if he were crazy. After saying this, Chu Xuan silently went to look at the documents on the other side.

After Chu Xuan left, Zhang Jie couldn't help but look at Mu Xiang: "Hey, you really agreed to him? To be honest, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be able to rest easy."

Seeing that the other veterans were also looking at him like that, Mu Xiang couldn't help but rub his forehead and say, "Don't worry... Chu Xuan and I are aiming to wipe out the entire Beiyanzhou team."

He then explained in detail the reasons for doing so and the basis for his confidence, and repeatedly emphasized that they must not leave the protection of the Buddhist scriptures...

Then he looked at Zero and Overlord: "There's only one day left before the Northern Flame Continent team enters this area... Chu Xuan and I have already made arrangements. We'll go out at midnight tonight and 10 a.m. tomorrow to check on the situation there. Whether we can give the Northern Flame Continent team a good beating depends on us!"

Zero nodded slightly, remaining calm throughout... even when he heard about Chu Xuan and Mu Xiang's crazy scheme, he didn't show much expression.

Overlord chuckled, seemingly eager to try. His tubular pulse ricochet gun had been kept in Mu Xiang's bracelet, and he hadn't had a chance to use it in the past two days. He could only ask Mu Xiang to take out his beloved gun so he could play with it for a while each day... Both he and the Tubular King had been lonely for a long time.

On this day, Mu Xiang and Chu Xuan were both making plans. Mu Xiang had already followed Chu Xuan with the overall strategy, but Mu Xiang was responsible for considering the operational details for the Beiyanzhou team. So he kept making plans in his mind, then discussed them with Zero and Overlord, or talked about some restricted plans with Chu Xuan through the mental chain.

The day passed just like that, and the room wasn't attacked at all, which put everyone else at ease.

But Mu Xiang knew that the Curse of Vengeance had already engulfed the entire city. He could clearly hear the screams, car crashes, and explosions that others couldn't, as well as the creaking noises coming from other rooms in the hotel. And this was only the situation on the edge of this secondary business district; what about the center of the business district? The city center?
But he could only wait silently... waiting for things to develop as he and Chu Xuan had anticipated.

Mu Xiang knew he had no right to sympathize with the people of this city.

At 11:30 p.m., Mu Xiang, along with Zero and Ba Wang, set off for the House of Ju-on. Ba Wang drove the car, the burly man speeding recklessly through the desolate streets, thoroughly enjoying himself. Despite the occasional wrecked vehicles appearing on the road and beside the street, he continued singing off-key songs.

Mu Xiang could still see some pale figures standing in the darkness, seemingly spying on them. But the three of them remained calm, because each of them had methods to deal with spirits, and Zero and Overlord had also brought enough one-time-use malice protection talismans.

This time, Mu Xiang came out because he was worried that the so-called three days of survival by the main god wasn't 72 hours, but rather calculated as three natural days. Chu Xuan, however, didn't have this concern. He offered Mu Xiang some advice, but seeing it was useless, he said nothing more. As he left, Mu Xiang heard Chu Xuan mutter, "The wisdom of mortals..."

Now, even after waiting until midnight, nothing happened. Following Mu Xiang's directions, the three of them quickly arrived at Xiao Lin's residence, and again, nothing happened.

Mu Xiang could only laugh it off and say that he should just treat it as a drill. Fortunately, Ba Wang and Ling Dian were unaware of his disagreement with Chu Xuan here, so they didn't say anything.

This time when they returned, Chu Xuan offered to keep watch so that Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha, the two main combatants, could get some sleep. Mu Xiang didn't stand on ceremony and slept until eight o'clock. Then he got ready to go and meet the Bei Yan Zhou team.

The Central Continent team arrived a little after 10 a.m., while Mu Xiang, Ba Wang, and Ling Dian were ready by 9:30 a.m. Meanwhile, Zhan Lan's mental chain connected the three of them with Chu Xuan, allowing them to communicate at any time.

Mu Xiang and Ba Wang stood on a rooftop not far away, monitoring the House of Ju-on, while Zero was further away, preparing to snipe from another angle. Finally, the fourth day arrived in the true sense... A group of people appeared on the second floor of the House of Ju-on as scheduled, which the three of them could clearly see.

"Chu Xuan, they've arrived. But that barrier definitely hasn't been removed yet. I'll send a signal in a bit," Mu Xiang said to Chu Xuan in his mind, somewhat excited.

But... the atmosphere in this team isn't quite right.

Mu Xiang frowned as he watched the Bei Yan Zhou team's actions while they waited.

Finally, the time came for the barrier to be removed.

"Do it!"

The tubular pulse launcher and the Gauss sniper rifle roared simultaneously, instantly taking down three members of the Northern Flame Continent team. Two were blasted to pieces in the waist by the terrifying power of the launcher, while the third had his head shattered in an instant by the Gauss sniper rifle.

"One of the opposing team's players has been killed, and Zhongzhou Team is now one point ahead..."

"One of the opposing team's players has been killed, and Zhongzhou team is now in second place..."

"One of the opposing team's players has been eliminated, and the Zhongzhou team is on the verge of a three-pointer..."

The Beiyanzhou team reacted immediately. A white man yelled, and five or six team members instantly dropped to the ground. However, the speed at which they fell didn't seem like they did it themselves; rather, it looked like they were being crushed.

An invisible barrier blocked their fire, but cracks soon appeared.

Mu Xiang took the opportunity to observe the three people still standing. One was a white man, one was a woman wearing a helmet, and the last one was an Asian man who looked like a college student.

“There are mind controllers among them,” Zhan Lan’s voice rang out. “Do you need me to provide you with mental shielding?”

Mu Xiang immediately replied, "No need, you just need to block the hotel... and also check the level of the other party's mental control user."

"He's far inferior to me." Zhan Lan smiled smugly. "I just wonder how far he can detect my shielding."

Just when Mu Xiang thought the invisible barrier was about to shatter, another pale yellow shield opened, separating the bullets from the Beiyanzhou team.

Could it really be?

Mu Xiang knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. He flashed off the roof and rushed to the courtyard of the Ju-on House in two steps, meeting the gazes of the three people without any attempt to hide his identity.

The white man grinned menacingly and tried to step out, but instead bumped into the pale yellow shield.

Judging from their actions just now, this was a one-time scroll skill... but I still need to distract them.

Both Overlord and Zero Point ceased firing, while Mu Xiang addressed the three men upstairs in a loud voice: "I am the captain of the Central Continent Team... I'm here to negotiate with you."

"Negotiation? Negotiate what?" The white man chuckled. "You took direct action, and now that's not working, you want to negotiate with us?"

Mu Xiang shrugged, then felt his consciousness sluggish for a moment, but only for a moment.

That's all there is to it.

"I never said you couldn't attack me," Mu Xiang sneered. "You're the ones who've retreated into your shells."

The white man narrowed his eyes: "Very well, I haven't heard anyone talk to me like that in a long time... Well then, I'll just beat you up first."

The pale yellow shield dissipated, and an aura erupted from the white man, followed by an invisible force pressing down on Mu Xiang.

"Interesting, but not much." Mu Xiang leaped out of the backyard, watching his opponent about to give chase. "You really are the kind of idiot I thought you were!"

Before the other party could respond, a blinding burst of fire erupted in the House of Curses, and the huge roar and violent shockwave made Mu Xiang take two steps back.

At the same time, the Overlord's tubular pulse ricochet gun roared once again, sweeping fire across the second floor of the Ju-on House through the flames.

Immediately after the explosion, a series of notifications from the Supreme God arrived.

"One of the opposing team's players has been killed, and the Zhongzhou team has nine points..."

Upon hearing the notification sound, Mu Xiang clicked his tongue.

"The mental fluctuations of those three people have disappeared!" Zhan Lan reported in the mental chain. "Yes, they appeared on the other side of the city."

Zhan Lan's current surveillance range is indeed terrifying... In this team battle, she truly has overall surveillance.

Mu Xiang sighed: "They must have used a space teleportation scroll... but I'm sure I'm not wrong. One good news and one bad news."

The good news is that they have killed all nine non-core members of the opposing team, and the reward for all of them is equivalent to 18,000 points.

The bad news is also obvious: the composition of the Northern Flame Continent team...

They are a breeding team.

The Northern Flame Continent Team has officially entered the fray! Please accept today's update. Thank you for your monthly tickets, recommendations, and reading support. That's all.
