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

The 36-hour rest period passed in the blink of an eye, and the members of each team are about to face the next competition. At the same time, new system rules have also been released.

It's still a four-person competition, with the Black Gate and White Gate teams competing. This time, there are themes: the Black Gate's theme is "Find Your Place," and the White Gate's theme is "Speed ​​is Paramount."

Based on her performance in the previous captain's match, Yi Zanglan still gets another chance to choose her team members for this match, but she can only choose the Black Gate members, while the White Gate members will be randomly selected by the system.

The final members selected by the system were Jiang Ling and Jiang Yao, and Su Su and Li Siqi, two fixed pairs of well-coordinated partners within the team.

"Fortunately, the agility of the four of us is not low," Su Su said. "Especially Lingling, she's still top-notch."

Jiang Ling sighed, "What I'm afraid of is that the system has the right to interpret things, and it likes to come up with bad tricks. The topic is given so vaguely, what if we find out after we get in that it's not what we thought at all?"

"Then we'll just have to deal with it as it comes," Jiang Yao said gently. "As long as we work together, we can handle it."

"Alright, the White Gate selection is complete, let's discuss the Black Gate candidates." Yan Zhao casually asked Yi Zanglan, "Shall we go?"

"Go." Yi Zanglan nodded calmly. "Yunxi and Lao Shen, go too."

The veteran team that fought zombies together in the bonus tournament hasn't been reunited for a long time, and this is a good opportunity.

Sure enough, Tang Yunxi was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately began to sing and dance.

"Brilliant! If you ask me, the captain is truly brilliant!"

Shen Yubai was also very happy, but it was inconvenient to show too much joy because Qin Shaoyu was sitting right next to him, and this guy was easy to get on his nerves with.

He had no doubt that if the banana in his hand were a gun, the other person would be holding it to his temple and pulling the trigger right now.

"Old Qin, could you please stop stepping on my foot?"

"Huh?" Qin Shaoyu asked in confusion, "As a man who is talented, handsome, refined, elegant, mature, and tolerant, how can you not even have this much vision and magnanimity?"

"..."

I really don't know what's wrong with him.

Ling Ye turned to Yi Zanglan, his expression slightly helpless: "Since the team competition started, except for the first game of the duo match, you really haven't missed a single one."

The claim that a certain captain has an ultra-long battery life and high energy is not just empty talk.

"You know I can't sit still. What's the point of waiting here? Of course I have to take the lead myself," Yi Zanglan replied calmly. "But you're different. Since you've got a bye, you'd better take the opportunity to get some more sleep."

After all, he had just used Storm Slash in the team match, and the next game of Crossing the Game would definitely have strong side effects. Until then, all we can do is try to conserve our energy and slow down his dangerous D- mental power.

"The Black Gate theme doesn't even have specific keywords like the White Gate, so the rules are probably more tricky. Be careful of traps."

"It's okay if there are traps, I'll take care of filling them in." Yi Zanglan patted Ling Ye on the shoulder, gesturing for him to open the case of liquor in the corner. "Come on, let's have a drink before we set off. More important than winning or losing, remember to enjoy the process of the game."

Jiang Ling and Tang Yunxi responded in unison, "Yes, leader!"

＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊

Half an hour later, the black gate and the white gate opened simultaneously, and the eight members were divided into two teams, each entering their respective arenas.

[System notification: The four-player "Dangerous Building Escape" instance has finished loading.]

[In the old, dilapidated buildings slated for demolition in this area, countless malevolent spirits of residents who died unnatural deaths roam, ready to attack any living person within sight at any moment.]

[This game has a total of 28 players, divided into teams. Within 24 hours, please eliminate as many evil spirits and players as possible, accumulate points, and ensure your own survival to complete the game.]

Please note: ① You only have the right to kill someone if you find and burn the nameplate of the corresponding player or evil spirit hidden inside the building. Killing the wrong person will result in automatic elimination.

② Clearing out a player earns 1 point, clearing out an evil spirit earns 2 points;

③ If the survival rate of players is higher than one-quarter when the countdown ends, the score for this round is reset to zero, and the entire team fails to complete the level.

Best of luck to everyone.

……

After a brief period of disorientation, Yi Zanglan opened her eyes and found herself lying in a small room.

The room was long and narrow, with the living room and bedroom combined. The dim yellow chandelier swayed overhead, the furniture was old and worn, and clutter was piled up everywhere.

She shielded her eyes with her hand, adjusted her gaze to the light, then stood up. After looking around to make sure there was no immediate danger, she began to read the rules on the interface.

Oh, it's a survival theme. Besides killing ghosts, you also have to kill other players.

The system even enforces a survival rate, meaning that if more than seven people survive, everyone else will get nothing in this round.

As for the prompt "match the nameplate," it's easy to understand now: only by finding the nameplate can you gain the right to kill the corresponding target; otherwise, it's tantamount to suicide.

That's quite interesting.

Yi Zanglan raised an eyebrow with interest. She switched the interface and saw a yellow dialog box pop up, indicating that teammates in the same game could communicate via text and share their locations.

The other three were quick; they had already sent messages in the group chat.

[Yan Zhao]: There's a lighter in the room, remember to bring it, it's for burning name tags.

[Tang Yunxi]: Zhaozhao, why are you so far away from us again?

[Yan Zhao]: ...You're asking a question you already know the answer to, aren't you?

[Shen Yubai]: Skill weapons aren't banned this round, so be careful. Is Lanlan there? I'll go find Yunxi nearby. Can you go pick up Zhaozhao?

[Yi Zanglan]: Yes, you can.

[Tang Yunxi]: I just found a nameplate in the house. It seems to belong to an evil spirit. It's quite complicated; I need to investigate it.

[Shen Yubai]: Let's all look carefully. I suspect there's a nameplate in each initial room so players have a clear target to attack right away.

Yi Canglan glanced at the map, confirmed Yan Zhao's approximate location, then turned around and stuffed a black lighter into his pocket from the peeling wooden table.

She conducted a thorough and brutal search of the room, leaving nothing out, no matter how small or large it could be opened or disassembled.

Sure enough, deep inside the closet piled with moldy clothes, she found a rectangular white name tag with a fabric-like texture. It was slightly thick, and embroidered with bold black Song typeface characters bearing the name of a certain player:

He Rui.

"..."

Is it He Rui?

Yi Zanglan remained silent for a moment, then, as if finding it particularly amusing, couldn't help but chuckle softly.

After a long while, she once again revealed that cruel yet slightly pleased expression, then took out the lighter she had just found and brought it close to the corner of the name tag.

The flames were scorching hot when they ignited. She held the name tag between two fingers and swung it lazily until it was completely burned to ashes.

[System notification: You have acquired the right to kill player [He Rui]. Your location will be displayed on the map when you are within 300 meters of the target.]

Next to the cabinet, the broken suitcase had been flattened by her foot, and a gleaming silver butterfly knife fell out of it.

This is considered the initial weapon randomly assigned to the player by the system.

Yi Zanglan lightly flicked her toes to hook the butterfly knife, caught it in mid-air, and then strode towards the door.
