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

After a player dies in a match, they will be automatically resurrected soon. They can then open the corresponding black or white door in front of them to return directly to the team's spectator area.

When Jiang Yao returned, he received a warm welcome from all the members. He sat next to Yi Zanglan and silently watched his sister fight alone.

Jiang Ling, wielding the Mirror Shield, moved with incredible speed, launching a preemptive strike that killed three opponents, all of whom were highly skilled fighters.

She eventually made it to the finals with two members of the Langtaosha team. She was originally very likely to kill one of them first with her flexible and varied tactics, but the two of them cooperated very well, only attacking and not defending. They were aggressive and fierce, which made her expose her weaknesses.

Even more fatal is that one of them has a skill called [Raging Heavy Punch], which can ignore armor and has the destructive power of armor-piercing critical strikes, which completely counters her.

The opponent's hard fist, covered in calluses, with a faint blue light emanating from its fingertips, pierced through the lens shield with a single punch, advancing forward without any hindrance, almost directly shattering Jiang Ling's heart.

Jiang Ling was sent flying backward, blood gushing from her mouth; death was only a matter of an instant.

She closed her eyes and sank into a delayed and brief darkness amidst the excruciating pain. When she regained consciousness, she was standing once again in front of that black door.

Before she could catch her breath, she hesitated for a long time before pushing open the door and seeing Jiang Yao coming towards her.

The two were stunned for a moment, then immediately hugged each other tightly.

"Does it hurt?" Jiang Yao's eyes were red, and he forced himself not to cry. He stroked her hair and apologized softly, "It's my fault, I made you..."

"No, brother, I understand. Your tactics were correct, otherwise we would have had a hard time making it to the end." Jiang Ling subconsciously clutched her heart, then looked at Yi Zanglan with regret, "I'm sorry, Captain, I really couldn't beat those two, especially the one who used his fists. He was able to shatter my Mirror Shield directly."

Yi Zanglan walked over, put a piece of candy in Jiang Ling's mouth, then cupped her face and rubbed it comfortingly.

"Ignoring the protective gear, anyone would have to think twice before taking that punch," she said with a smile. "You and Jiang Yao came in second place this round, earning our team 50 points. Isn't that enough? You've already done a great job."

"That's really amazing!" Tang Yunxi chimed in excitedly. "Lingling, you looked so cool when you summoned your shield! You totally captivated us!"

Yan Zhao also gave a heartfelt thumbs up: "As expected of the Mirror Twins, your teamwork is superb. Black Wind Stronghold is amazing with the two of you."

Jiang Ling was surrounded by everyone praising her, which instantly dispelled the gloom from before. She was almost embarrassed by the praise.

"Hehe, it's not that amazing, it's just that people can unleash their potential at crucial moments—but Captain, we really need to be careful of the Waves of Sand team, they seem to be quite strong."

Yi Zanglan glanced at the big screen, then turned to Yan Zhao thoughtfully: "I've never heard you mention this team before."

"I don't know much about them either, just a vague impression. Maybe they're an old team, whose name only appears on the forums?"

"They're a veteran team." Ling Ye, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly affirmed this. "They were even established before I entered the Doom Game. The team is full of experts, including many Grandmaster players. Their style is mostly cunning and ruthless—Jiang Ling was able to hold out for so long against two opponents, which is indeed very impressive."

Yi Zanglan raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing the unspoken meaning: "They invited you, didn't they?"

"...I did invite him back then, but I had already promised He Rui, so I declined."

Did they make things difficult for you?

Ling Ye shook his head: "Not everyone is as despicable as He Rui. Although the captain of the Langtaosha team is ruthless, he is quite magnanimous in this regard and will not force things."

"I see," Yi Zanglan said. "No matter what the competition format is, everyone should be wary of this team. If you're not confident, try to avoid them and don't confront them head-on."

The team members present all agreed. At this moment, Shen Yubai, who had been watching the game intently, suddenly whispered a reminder.

"Lanlan, Mingyue and Su Su's match should be over soon too."

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention was once again focused on the big screen.

＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊

At the White Gate Arena, with the game nearing its end, Wang Mingyue and Su Su had gone completely mad.

Su Su, who was transformed into a new generation of masked killer due to obtaining special props, also gained the power and speed of NPCs.

She ran wildly through the amusement park with a machete in her hand, quickly recalling all the routes she had previously observed and analyzing the possible hiding places of the remaining surviving players.

She single-handedly captured five players and encountered two more along the way—after all, due to the information gap, the other party did not know that there was a new masked killer present. As a result, at what they thought was the safest moment, they were struck by her thunderous knife.

Su Su fought with increasing ferocity, knowing that such exhilarating opportunities were rare. She felt great and a strong sense of determination to fight and win for the team grew within her.

With her transformation time approaching and her imminent elimination, in order to chase down a team of target players, she even climbed the Ferris wheel with her bare hands, crossed two carriages along the track, smashed the glass, and jumped inside.

With a loud bang, the Ferris wheel cabin plummeted from the sky, the explosion upon landing deafening, sending dust and smoke billowing everywhere.

Number of survivors in this match: 3/30

Wang Mingyue has been closely monitoring the original masked killer and the movements of the players who died.

She constantly adjusted her hiding position based on their search routes, and with Su Su's cover, she managed to survive until the final round.

However, she could no longer hide, as the map was almost completely occupied and surrounded by NPCs, leaving her in a precarious situation where she would be discovered no matter where she went.

There are now three people left. She doesn't know who the other two survivors are, she only knows that she has to be faster than them.

As long as we can outlast them, the longer we can hold out, the greater our chances of winning this match.

She found an electric sightseeing vehicle in front of the souvenir shop behind the bumper car area.

So she decisively drove the tour bus and began a desperate race against a large group of NPCs.

She dodged left and right, weaving and maneuvering, using all her skills and giving her all, until finally only two people remained in the game.

"Go Black Wind Stronghold!!!"

As the machete came crashing down on her, she instinctively shouted this while continuing to slam on the gas pedal.

Fortunately, she didn't feel much pain because the masked monster simply chopped off her head.

……

In the 2v2 arena, Bai Men finished the battle with 58 points, also ranking second.

When Wang Mingyue returned to the viewing area, she was still a little frustrated, but this negative emotion was quickly dispelled by the smiles of her teammates.

"That's already amazing." As her roommate, Wu Ying gave her plenty of encouragement. "Even we weren't sure we could get into the top three. You got second place, which is a very good result."

"...Really? Was my performance alright?"

"Really, the captain is very satisfied."

Wang Mingyue turned to Yi Zanglan and saw the latter nodding at her with a very approving expression.

"Yes, thank you and Susu for laying a good foundation for our team's upcoming matches."

On the other side, Su Su was being happily lifted high by Li Siqi. She jumped down and ran over to give Wang Mingyue a high five.

"Mingyue, I actually think we did pretty well! I just heard everyone say that the first-place team is called Langtaosha, and they're incredibly strong. We need to hone our skills a bit more; there are still so many matches to go. We'll beat them sooner or later!"

"Um!"

While things were bustling around here, Yan Zhao sat in the back row, her eyes lowered as she read the system interface. She frowned almost imperceptibly, then suddenly raised her hand to signal Yi Canglan.

"The format for the next match has been released."
