Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

[Tang Yunxi]: Damn it! Another round where I failed to use my special skills. If I had entered the round this time, the God of Wealth on the left and Brother Shen on the right could have easily taken them both away in a wheelchair. Why would they have needed to crawl?

[Wu Ying]: Maybe the system will adjust its mechanisms as soon as you go in, specifically to restrict your wheelchair.

[Tang Yunxi]: Oh, you never know. After all, luck doesn't seem to be working this time. Even Qin Shaoyu, who's S+, has gone blind. Is this damn system plotting something bad again?

[Jiang Ling]: Do you think the system might be deliberately targeting the team leader? Otherwise, why is everyone else affected by the evil spirit except the team leader? It seems like a good thing, but it's actually a hidden danger!

[Jiang Yao]: Perhaps it's because... the captain leveled up to Emerald too quickly?

[Wu Ying]: That's certainly possible. Generally speaking, even for highly skilled players, it takes at least twenty rounds to advance to the Jade level.

[Jiang Ling]: It seems the captain only used fourteen innings.

[Tang Yunxi]: Sigh, that qualifying round might really give Lanlan a tough time.

……

After it was fully light, the group of six opened their respective guard booth doors and found that the system had indeed automatically served meals, and the meals were different each time.

Shen Yubai's was boiled chicken, Qin Shaoyu's was boiled vegetables, Jun Songzi's was sashimi, Yan Zhao's was fruit, Ling Ye's was roast beef, and Yi Zanglan's was various nuts.

They simply took their food bowls and compromised by gathering at the entrance of Juniper's House, where they put their food together to eat.

"It's nutritionally balanced, at least." Yan Zhao picked up a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it reluctantly. "It just doesn't taste good; it has a muddy, fishy taste."

Her tastes have been completely spoiled by Yi Zanglan. She's not even satisfied with eating at restaurants outside, let alone the terrible food in the bureau. She's just eating it to survive.

Yi Zanglan placed the slightly better-tasting roast beef in front of Du Songzi: "Eat more, the wounded need to replenish their strength. What happened last night might happen again tonight, and you'll probably be the one being chased."

Du Songzi's expression immediately turned serious: "Does that mean someone else will be possessed by an evil spirit tonight?"

"Definitely, and tonight will only be more difficult."

"Why?" He was initially confused, but after looking at her for a moment, he suddenly realized what she meant and touched his head with a bit of shame. "That's right, my attack power is only C+, and no one on the team has a lower attack power than me."

It was this frail young TCM doctor, who was born with a weak constitution and an attack power of C+, who kept his promise and acted with righteous indignation, insisting on telling Qi Chuan that he was the one who stabbed Zhang Xin, who had an attack power of A+, to death.

Ling Ye patted him on the shoulder: "Your strength doesn't lie in that."

Yi Zanglan pondered for a while, then asked Ling Ye, "What did you feel when you fought him last night? Did the evil spirit possess him and grant him power as well?"

"It's impossible for Songzi to last that long on her own," Lingye analyzed truthfully. "The evil spirit must have given the host power, which should have also increased her ability to withstand damage."

He examined Juniper's head wound. Although it was bleeding, it was only a superficial injury. He knew that even if he deliberately held back, it wouldn't be this bad. This showed that being possessed by an evil spirit would make one more resilient to injuries.

This is just juniper berries; what about other juniper berries?

The other team members also considered this issue. Qin Shaoyu, with half a chicken leg in his mouth, looked worried.

"If it's my turn tonight, that's fine. I'll just be lucky enough to dodge a few of your combos. But what if it's the captain and the Wild King's turn? We're all blind, deaf, and lame. We can only rely on Yan Zhao to go up there and fight with her big claws."

Yan Zhao replied quietly, "My big claws can barely handle you, but they're no match for the two of them."

Yi Zanglan and Ling Ye exchanged a glance. She calmly studied him, clearly also deep in thought.

"At present, it seems that being possessed by an evil spirit is probably not related to mental strength, because I remember that Songzi's mental strength is not low."

Juniper's mental strength was A+, which is quite high, but she had absolutely no room to resist. Her consciousness was almost instantly devoured, which shows that this was a forced rule.

So, if she is chosen that night, she will also launch a fierce attack on her teammates, and the situation will be hard to predict.

"The evil spirit can only possess one person at most. You and Wild King can at least leave one of you to guard the base, right?" Yan Zhao's gaze swept back and forth between the two faces as he tentatively inquired, "Are you two confident you can subdue it?"

Lingye sighed: "No."

"Actually, there is a chance," Yi Zanglan analyzed objectively. "He is slightly better than me in close combat, and he can summon his weapon at any time. Even with the blessing of evil spirits, he may still have a chance of winning."

Shen Yubai sighed in annoyance: "So we should be glad that you can't summon your scythe in the early stages, right?"

As everyone knows, once her scythe is summoned and possessed by an evil spirit, then every single one of them will be unable to leave with a complete corpse.

"It's not a good thing either." Yi Zanglan shook his head. "If Ling Ye is possessed, and he uses weapons and is empowered by evil spirits, and the scythe can't be summoned, I'll have to risk everything to fight him to the death."

"Don't hold back," Ling Ye said in a low voice. "You can kill me when it's time to kill."

She looked at him and smiled slightly, seemingly gentle and indifferent, but in reality, she was completely speechless.

"Thank you for your courageous sacrifice, but is it a matter of whether I'm ruthless or not? Your damage tolerance is already S+, give me an AK, two shots should be enough to kill you."

"..."

Shen Yubai said, "I still have two sticks of incense, but the Shadowless Incense is only effective against ghosts and monsters."

For example, those strange fish last night could be rendered incapable of judgment by the Shadowless Incense; but players possessed by evil spirits are still human after all, and the Shadowless Incense would probably have difficulty blocking them.

"My cursed corruption is useless."

Yan Zhao was equally helpless, because her mind control could only be used on people, but players possessed by evil spirits had no independent consciousness.

Seeing everyone looking gloomy and dejected, Yi Zanglan clapped his hands twice, signaling them to concentrate and cheer up as soon as possible.

"There's always a way out, so don't worry about the loan," she said. "Hurry up and finish eating. Take advantage of the daytime to explore the island. If you don't have any weapons, look for self-defense weapons, and also find the items you need to worship evil spirits."

As we just discussed, since strange small holes appeared on both sides of the fish head of the statue after the mermaid priest possessed Juniper last night, this is very likely a clue.

The offerings related to the remaining evil spirits should also correspond to their incomplete characteristics.

"We're currently on the eastern side of Netherworld Island. Zhao Zhao and Lao Shen's team will explore the west, while Ling Ye and Song Zi's team will go south." After Yi Zanglan finished speaking, he pointed to Qin Shaoyu, "Lao Qin, you come with me to the north."

Qin Shaoyu immediately straightened his back: "Understood!"

"Remember to keep track of the time and don't stray too far from the meeting point. Try to get back to the meeting point before dark."

The other team members nodded in agreement: "Understood."
