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

Xu Chenguang's skill is specifically designed for female players. As long as the selected target's rank is lower than his and either their mental strength or attack power rating is lower than his, the skill is considered to have been used successfully.

He can completely manipulate the other person's thoughts and issue orders at will, including ordering the other person to die in his place in a critical moment.

Several female players from the former Frostwinter team were deceived by his sweet talk, believing that he had the ability to carry them through the game, but in the end they were used as shields and sacrificed in the game.

And now.

Xu Chenguang chose Yi Zanglan again as his shield in this round.

He carefully observed Yi Zanglan's bewildered expression, as if admiring a trophy, and was extremely satisfied.

"You little slut, I've got you under control now, haven't I?" He muttered as he approached, making a gesture as if to pinch her cheek. "I must say, you're actually quite well-behaved when you're not being sarcastic. Of all the female players who died before, none of them were prettier than you. I think you..."

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Zanglan suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.

She punched him hard in the throat, then kicked him in his private parts, sending him flying.

This combo was so smooth that Xu Chenguang didn't even have time to react the moment he was sent flying.

He was jolted awake by intense pain. He curled up, coughing awkwardly, too afraid to shout or curse, his face contorted in agony.

Yi Zanglan walked slowly to him, looking down at him with clear eyes, showing no trace of being controlled.

"You actually believed it?" she chuckled softly. "Just kidding, to make you happy before you die."

"...Why?" Xu Chenguang stared at her, utterly incredulous. "Why? Your rating is higher than mine, that's impossible!"

His mental strength and attack power are both A-, which is higher than many ordinary players, so he has never missed a skill.

But now the facts tell him that neither his mental strength nor his attack power can surpass Yi Zanglan's.

Could it be that she wasn't just a random newcomer Yan Zhao brought in, but rather a high-level expert he hired, and the two of them had been putting on an act all along?!

But why would a high-level expert help Yan Zhao? I've never heard of this person before!

"Why not?" Yi Zanglan asked doubtfully. "Isn't it normal for someone as useless as you to have a higher rating?"

"..."

She asked with great interest, "Do you think if you died, that black rat surnamed He would come to save you?"

"..."

"I don't think so. He'll definitely give up on you because that's a fine tradition of your team."

"roll!"

With his skills ruined, Xu Chenguang lost his mind in anger. He struggled to fight Yi Zanglan to the death, but before he could even get up, she kicked him in the face again.

The kick was both accurate and ruthless, breaking his nose and front teeth, causing blood to flow freely.

Then he kicked his temple hard, making the world spin and his mind buzz violently.

He was completely unable to get up.

Yi Zanglan looked down at him. When she was silently gazing at someone, her eyes were gentle, and there was always a sense of compassion about her.

Little did they know, that was just a prelude to death.

"If you live off women, you'll die at their hands. That's fair."

...From the depths of the corridor, the sound of dragging footsteps and the familiar clanging of metal suddenly came.

The Taoist priest has arrived.

Tonight, the Ghost Taoist will prioritize attacking players on the fifth floor.

This was exactly what Yi Zanglan wanted.

She didn't run away or hide, but went to the middle of the corridor and dragged Xu Chenguang, who had been kicked unconscious, over with her.

She looked at the bracelets on her wrist. The bracelets, which were originally bright silver, had now turned into a pure black with a matte finish, as black as a dark night after a rainstorm.

This is her personal item; it continuously absorbs the malice of players and monsters in each game and displays different colors.

When the bracelet turns completely black, it is considered that the conditions for summoning the weapon have been met.

As for other conditions, they were marked with question marks on the skill description interface at the time, and may still need to be explored.

[System Prompt: Summon the weapon [Abyss Scythe] to assist in combat? This weapon can deal damage to monsters in the game; the damage amount depends on the monster's strength.]

【Yes. 】

The bracelet trembled on her wrist, and dark light surged and wrapped around her fingertips, rapidly flowing and condensing in her palm. In an instant, it transformed into a giant scythe about two meters long with a black handle and a silver blade.

Yes, it's similar to the scythe used by the Grim Reaper in Western legends.

Xu Chenguang barely opened his eyes and saw the ghostly Taoist priest behind him accelerating towards him, while Yi Zanglan in front of him held a scythe and exuded murderous intent. He realized that he was doomed this time.

He was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. He tried to get up and run away, but his legs were too weak to stand up.

"Help...help me..." he pleaded in a trembling voice. "How much did Yan Zhao pay you? I'll give you three times that amount after this round, no, five times! Ten times is fine too!"

"Where would you get so much money?" Yi Zanglan asked him softly. "Should the team give you a death benefit, or should the viewers in the live stream crowdfund your funeral expenses?"

"..."

She smiled kindly: "What were you guys bragging about on the forum, about how you were going to kill Yan Zhao?"

Xu Chenguang was stunned.

They did indeed announce on the forum that they would cut off Yan Zhao's two legs, making her drag her half-body on the ground, slowly bleeding to death.

He came up with the idea because his legs had been chopped off by his girlfriend in a revenge attack in real life, and he harbored resentment and wished that all women would die like that.

...Who knew that retribution would come so quickly.

Before he could beg for mercy again, Yi Zanglan raised his hand and brought down his knife, the crescent-shaped blade of the sickle drawing an arc in the air.

With a muffled thud as flesh was sliced ​​apart, his legs were severed cleanly from the knees down.

"Aa ...

An overwhelming sense of despair and fear swept over Xu Chenguang in an instant. He dragged half of his body and rolled wildly on the ground, screaming out in pain.

The screams and blood startled the ghostly Taoist priest at the end of the corridor, and at that moment, he and Yi Zanglan, who was standing still, stared at each other.

Its ferocity surged, and it instantly teleported at high speed, appearing in front of her in just a few seconds.

Yi Zanglan carried the sickle in one hand and grabbed Xu Chenguang by the collar with the other, lifting him up and using him as a shield in front of her.

The two collided, and the Taoist priest's thunderous claw ripped out Xu Chenguang's heart.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh... Ugh!"

The health bar was quickly emptied.

Xu Chenguang stopped screaming. He lowered his head, looked at his bloodied and broken body, and breathed his last with his eyes wide open.

Yi Zanglan took a step back and fed Xu Chenguang directly to the other party.

Taking advantage of the moment when the ghostly Taoist fiercely bit Xu Chenguang's head, she raised her scythe high again, and with a sharp whistling sound as it tore through the air, she slashed down.
