Yinshan Village

The red light in the hospital's resuscitation room, which signifies resuscitation, went out, Bai Liu, who was sitting on the bench, slowly raised his head, looked towards the resuscitation room behind Yang Zhi, and glanced at Yang Zhi, who was standing in front of him, without thinking.

With that one look, knowing full well that Bai Liu couldn't possibly see him, Yang Zhi still had the feeling that his mouth, nose, and organs were frozen.

Yang Zhi had expected Bai Liu to immediately rush to the side of the resuscitation room, but Bai Liu didn't, he simply scanned the lighted sign of the resuscitation room and withdrew his eyes.

Bai Liu made a gesture that gave Yang Zhi goosebumps, he lowered his head and slowly and methodically picked out the intact one from the bag of broken oranges at his feet, peeled it with his thin white fingers, and carefully chewed it in his mouth, one petal at a time.

Orange juice dripped from Bai Liu's fingers to the ground.

Then Bai Liu, with downcast eyes, said in a flat tone, "What a waste, there are few good ones left from the fall, and the ones I bought were quite expensive."

Obviously it was just a normal comment and action, but in Bai Liu's memory Yang Zhi could clearly feel a murderous intent, and he was creeped out, fear and dread made Yang Zhi quickly struggled to wake up from the memory.

He opened his eyes in a sweat, his face white, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong with you?" came Kong Xuyang's irritated voice. Kong Xuyang's irritated voice came out, "Suddenly you stop talking, just say it, don't keep whetting people's appetite."

Yang Zhi shook his head, he tried to open his mouth wide and shook his head to make a sound, but his throat and nose felt like they were covered with wet cotton, and he couldn't make any sound at all.

His brain is dizzy, the scene in front of him rotating, the edge of the field of vision layer by layer derived from the colorful halo, Yang Zhi hands on the ground to dry-heave, leaning on a tree branch to support the weak body.

The murderous intent and desire directed at the murderer in Bai Liu's memories was so intense that Yang Zhi was completely incapable of digesting and dealing with the immense malice rushing towards him, and could only be brought to control the impact and become a slave to Bai Liu's memories.

...... so scary.

Yang Zhi had digested the memories of so many people, and never before had she experienced in her memories a desire so extreme that just a glimpse of it caused a physical resistance reaction.

But what is even more terrifying is that while obviously harboring such strong emotions, the person in question seems to be so calm, as if he or she has long been accustomed to this level of emotional self-control.

Yang Zhi was nauseated for a while before he barely managed to slow down a bit, he held Kong Xuyang's arm and just wanted to say something, when he saw Kong Xuyang's eyes light up, interrupting him and saying eagerly, "Something's coming!"

A few mutilated bodies walk through the graveyard in the darkness of the night, their heads stretched out to sniff at each grave bag in turn, as if to find the one that belongs to them.

Kong Xuyang held his breath, Yang Zhi did not dare to utter a word, they have been here for more than an hour, just waiting for these zombies to return to the grave.

There are too many graves here, and there are no names or monuments, and not everyone buried in the graves is related to the main backstory line, which means that the village Huang Li buried with these villagers isn't necessarily what Kong Xuyang needs.

Digging graves one by one is too noisy, not to mention that it's easy to scare the snakes, it's hard to say whether these graves are people or ghosts, and digging them out is another chase.

So after thinking it over, Kong Xuyang found a way to wait for the zombies to return to their graves.

These zombies driven by the paper Taoist will go back to their graves at dawn, just like going back to their nests to sleep, and then at night they will be driven by the paper Taoist to stay with the ghosts of the martyrs of the bridge, so that they can reunite as husband and wife and calm the grievances of the ghosts of the martyrs of the bridge.

And the zombies that have been to the grave and back must be related to the main backstory line, when the time comes, all they have to do is to dig up the graves these zombies have returned to, and go to Huang Li, the village where they were buried with them.

Kong Xuyang, with a pseudo-body talisman attached to his forehead, held a branch in both hands and used the cover of the branch to look at the zombies who were clawing at the graves under the obscure moonlight, a smug grin on his face.

Sure enough, it was not far from what he had expected.

"Later on, I'll use the talisman to hold these zombies in place, so you'll go straight to digging those graves they've plowed through, do you hear me?" Kong Xuyang ordered without even looking at Yang Zhi as he held a stalk of yellow talisman between his two fingers.

Yang Zhi nodded his head, but just as he was about to rush out, his feet lifted up, and with an afterimage he lost his voice and exclaimed, "Brother Kong, there's a zombie over there who's already attached the talisman you drew!"

"How can it be, the talisman in my hand has not yet gone out ......" Kong Xuyang followed Yang Zhi's gaze to look over, and saw a zombie with a [Binding Body Talisman] he had drawn already affixed to his forehead, fixing it to spin around in a certain place.

Next to the zombie's grave squatted Mu Sicheng, who had a camera hanging around his neck and was digging hard, and Bai Liu was half-kneeling next to him to inspect the contents of the coffin he dug out.

Seeing Kong Xuyang and the others come out and look at them with astonishment, Mu Sicheng smiled viciously with his teeth showing, "Yo, what a coincidence, you guys also come to dig a grave in the middle of the night?"

Bai Liu looked up at Kong Xuyang and smiled, "Fellow villager, it's really fate that we meet again."

Yang Zhi was in a cold sweat at the sight of Bai Liu's smile, which was the same as the one he remembered just now, and he couldn't even speak properly, "Brother Kong! How did they get the talisman you drew!"

"Left in the tomb." Kong Xuyang hated his teeth and stared dead at Bai Liu on the ground.

This was originally a trap he left behind, but I didn't realize it was recycled for Bai Liu!

Originally, he had thought well at the beginning, leaving Bai Liu slow and easy to torture to death with traps to create the effect of the program, sucking Bai Liu's popularity, but things unexpectedly came to this point, and there is no need to whole all this mess.

That zombie Taoist was released, his panel was sealed again, there is no power to fight back, stay until the seventh day of the head they iron death.

Previously it was thought that Bai Liu would stay within the refuge of the zombie Taoist so that they couldn't hurt him and would have to take the decryption route to save their lives.

Now that Bai Liu has come to his door with no brains, although Kong Xuyang still wants to keep this retarded person to torture him for a while to calm his anger, the most sensible thing to do for now is to-

Kong Xuyang's eyes were red as he quickly raised his hand to produce a talisman: "Kill Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng now and end the match directly."

Several yellow talismans with driving effect flew out from between Kong Xuyang's two fingers and stuck on the foreheads of these zombies, and these zombies who were digging the graves stopped, their eyes emitted a blinding red light, and they opened their fishy mouths and showed their fangs and turned around to pounce towards Bai Liu and the others.

Crouching on the ground Mu Sicheng was provoked full of fire, now he is not afraid of, backhandedly copied up a piece of the ground do not know who is a simple tombstone board on the front of the zombie to meet the attack over the board a board hard wheel over, directly to the zombie to wheel down to the ground.

Bai Liu stood up and sidestepped a sharp claw sticking out from the side, the afterglow of his eyes swept Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who were digging a grave hidden among the zombies, and quickly instructed under his breath, "Avoid the zombie's claws and teeth, there's necrotic poison."

"Go straight to Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, they are good at making traps and attacking from afar, they shouldn't be good at close combat."

Bai Liu raised his eyes, his gaze cold, "Steal the talisman from his hand, and be careful not to touch the book of righteous arts, I suspect this prop will affect your game path and identity determination."

"Zombie legs can't bend, go from underneath." Bai Liu quickly reminded.

Mu Sicheng gave an OK gesture as he let out a breath and tossed the sharp sectioned wooden board in his hand that had been cracked by the swat, his gaze sternly fixing on Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi behind the zombie horde in the darkness of the night.

He crouched his body low, his eyes flashed with red light, and the shape of a monkey appeared, and the two hands that landed on the ground seemed to turn into monkey hands for a split second, but seemed to change back when they landed on the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Mu Sicheng scurried under the ground and in front of Kong Xuyang and the others.

Mu Sicheng slammed his foot on the ground and braked hard, turned, jumped, wheeled the boards, and showed his teeth as he slammed down hard, his expression fierce and nasty, the pupils of his crimson eyes standing up in a line, and what seemed to be a tail that was about to come out behind him.

"Die for the master!"

Bai Liu did not know when a snow white long bone whip appeared in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the group of zombies rushing toward him with teeth and claws, and unhurriedly held the whip in his right hand and skillfully shook it in the left and right directions.

A snow-white lightning to swiftly and quickly open the zombies who rushed to Bai Liu face door in great numbers.

When the zombies were sent flying into the air by the whip, the momentum of the attack on their hands and mouths hadn't been collected yet, and their expressions were a bit bewildered, as if they hadn't yet figured out what was happening to them, and how they had been sent up into the air.

【System ...... Zira ...... Alert: Player Mu Sicheng is about to open the Monster Book: Capuchin Monkey Thief form ......]

[System Alert: Player Kong Xuyang's skill (Panel Silence) is about to expire ......]

Kong Xuyang's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed out, "How can that be?!"

Equally stunned were the spectators outside the arena:

"What's going on?!"

"Kong Xuyang's skill is disabled? How is that possible?!"

Almost all of the members and crew on the Silence of the Lambs side rose to their feet as they stared incredulously at what was happening on the big screen, a couple of them so anxious that veins popped on their necks.

The only spectators left in the arena who were still sitting firmly in their chairs, their asses not off the bench, were Heart and the players around her, and the Adversary and the players around him, and even Wang Shun looked at the scene in amazement, his body leaning forward.

The Adversary God leaned back in his chair with his usual relaxed smile on his face, as if he had expected this step to happen.

Wang Shun was so anxious that he scratched his heart, and he didn't hold back and asked directly, "Mr. Reverse God, why did Kong Xuyang's skill fail this time?"

The Reverse God looked at Wang Shun, as if he had just reacted, and was dazed for a moment, "Isn't this a setup by Bai Liu? He didn't tell you?"

"No!" Wang Shun was inwardly bitter, thinking that although Chairman Bai discussed every matter with him in advance, he also didn't explain his reasoning for why he did so in every matter!

Most of the time, people can't keep up with Bai Liu's thinking, and even after discussion, he can't figure out the connection between the event and the end result.

Wang Shun laughed bitterly in his heart, but on his face, he still had to politely ask the Reverse God, "I've done research on all the matches that Kong Xuyang could find out about, and it's the first time I've ever seen this kind of situation where his skills have failed, and I really can't see what Chairman Bai did to cause this situation, you do see what's going on, don't you? "

The Reverse God thought briefly and explained with a friendly attitude, "I've given Bai Liu some first-hand information on Kong Xuyang's skills, he should have started with that."

Mu Ke couldn't help but move over a bit as he stared at the Adversary, "Skills?"

"That's right." The Reverse God smiled, "Bai Liu exploited Kong Xuyang's skill weakness."

Qi Yifang, next to Heart in the audience, asks the same question:

"Skill weakness?" Qi Yifang was puzzled, "What skill weakness could Kong Xuyang have? His skills never failed against us last year, and when our team was playing him, the panel was off from start to finish."

Qi Yifang couldn't help but whisper, "And our team last year was still much stronger than Bai Liu's team now, right? Kong Xuyang didn't even expose his skills and weaknesses against us, but he did against Bai Liu, that doesn't make any sense, right?"

"And if Kong Xuyang's skills really had any weaknesses, you should have seen them last year, right, Empress? Then we didn't have an easy time in that game either, it was a tough one too ......"

"I do see that, but we can't capitalize on that weakness." Heart leaned back against the audience handle with her jaw slightly propped up, eyes slightly downcast as she looked at the big screen in the middle of the pool.

Qi Yifang was stunned, "Why?"

Heart raised his eyes and lazily glanced at Qi Yifang, "The year before last, Against the Gods should have also seen this weakness of Kong Xuyang's on the field, but Against the Gods still fought a tough fight, and in the end, it was the killing of Kong Xuyang that made a hard breakthrough."

"So it's not just us who can't capitalize on this weakness, any strong Grand Guild can't capitalize on Kong Xuyang's weakness."

Qi Yifang became more and more confused as he listened, his eyes full of questions, "Why?!"

Heart replied lightly, "Because our teams are so strong, Kong Xuyang has no weaknesses against us."

"There is no weakness against a strong team instead?!" Wang Shun's head was also full of questions when he heard this, and he tried hard to understand what Inverse God had just said to him, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he said euphemistically, "...... Teacher Inverse God, I don't think that a person like Kong Xuyang is the type who is strong when he meets a strong team."

The implication is that Kong Xuyang, who is a strong man, should be weak in front of a strong team, but instead he has no weaknesses.

The Reverse God folded his hands and propped up his knees, he looked at the big screen and suddenly changed the topic, "Skills are all derivatives of desires... Wang Shun, it should be easy for your skills to investigate Kong Xuyang's biography... Judging from his biography, what do you think his desires are?"

Wang Shun quickly tapped on his system panel and scanned through Kong Xuyang's profile.

Wang Shun's eyes are fixed on what he himself summarizes as Kong Xuyang's core desire: "to get ahead, to sweep away the shame of the past."

The Reverse God turned his head to look at that information and was just about to speak when Liu Jiayi and Mu Ke, who were next to him, poked their heads over from either side of Wang Shun.

"I feel like Kong Xuyang's core desire isn't as positive." Liu Jiayi began with a cold mockery, "The skill of panel silence is more like pulling someone down than having to stand up for yourself."

Wang Shun was still scrolling down, "I've read that Kong Xuyang usually doesn't use his skill when facing a team that is very poor in all aspects, and only when facing a strong team will he use the [Panel Silence] skill."

"Kong Xuyang seems to have used this skill on less than five teams so far this preseason."

"Of course Kong Xuyang won't use [Panel Silence] against a weaker team, his panel quality condition is better than many weaker team members, using this skill against a weaker team will pull down his advantage, and locking the panel will pull Kong Xuyang and the weaker team members to the same fighting level." Liu Jiayi explained in a very fast speech.

"But against a strong team the situation is the opposite, after panel silencing, Kong Xuyang can use this skill to pull the strong team's players whose abilities are much tougher than his to the same fighting level as him, and then use his rich experience in panel-less fighting to defeat the opponent."

Mu Ke's eyes paused for a moment at Kong Xuyang's college experience on the profile: "...... hated and envied his classmates who were wealthier and more powerful than he was, and felt that he wouldn't have suffered from such discrimination if he had the same conditions as the other students. ......"

He was slightly quiet for a few seconds, then looked at the Reverse God next to him, "Kong Xuyang's core desire isn't anything out of the ordinary, it's [unfair] right?"

The Adversary nodded slightly appreciatively, "That was my guess as well."

"[Unfair]?" Wang Shun sounds confused, "What is this core desire?"

Mu Ke withdrew his eyes to look at the information on Wang Shun's system panel, extending his index finger and tapping on it twice: "I've come into contact with quite a few people like this around me, a kind of monstrous Mu Qiang, who feel that they're very good, and deserve to enjoy the best in the world, but then blame society and their origins when they don't have the means to enjoy it by their own means. "

"To summarize briefly, it means that Kong Xuyang feels that the world is [unfair] to him when he looks up to those who are better off than him in material terms."

Reverse God nodded, "The skill derived from this desire is [Panel Silence], when Kong Xuyang zeroed out everyone's panels, everyone's initial conditions were the same, and the [Fairness] he wanted was achieved."

Mu Ke looked up at the Reverse God, "And Kong Xuyang believes in relying on his excellent self to win under such [fairness]."

"But I still don't understand why this skill would be ineffective against Chairman Bai." Wang Shun rubbed his temples and pursued with a bitter smile, "And I'll also trouble you guys to continue explaining it in depth to me, a not-so-bright-brained viewer, again."

"By this point, the whole thing is clear." Mu Ke reached out and scratched on Wang Shun's panel to the match record sheet of Frenzy Lamb, "Brother Shun, look here, just now you also said that Kong Xuyang never uses skills against weak teams, all of them use skills against strong teams."

Wang Shun stroked his chin and nodded, "That was just explained to me by the little witch."

"Not just because of that." Mu Ke shook his head slightly, "It's because the fairness that Kong Xuyang wants is originally deformed, he wants fairness where those who are better off than him are on the same starting line as him, and those who are worse off than him are not included in his [fairness], they can only be trampled on by him, and are not worthy of using his skills."

"But in other words." The Reverse God smiled, "It can also be said that the condition for using the skill [Panel Silence] derived from Kong Xuyang's desire includes the fact that he has to think that his opponent is stronger than him."

"So his skills will never fail against strong teams like ours that Kong Xuyang is very wary of, identifies with, and even hates."

Mu Ke added, "But if Kong Xuyang thinks his opponent is weaker than him, his skills will likely be ineffective."

"Like right now."

Wang Shun was stunned for a long time, but finally got over it, and he incredulously, slowly, word by word, combed through the whole of Bai Liu's setup:

"So President Bai from reality, to enter the Yinshan Village this game, has been in accordance with the steps of Kong Xuyang plan to go, resistance is not very fierce, Kong Xuyang sent flying car clan, also came to our side to probe the information of President Bai when President Bai himself to cope with the information, information is also directly to me to give the most negative part of the ......"

"Even letting himself get hurt three times in the match, putting Mu Sicheng in a life and death situation, even letting Yang Zhi devour his and Mu Sicheng's memories at the beginning of the match knowing full well that Yang Zhi was in trouble all for the sake of ...... " Mu Ke's face, which had been taut for the entire match, finally loosened up, and a small, very sporadic smile appeared on his face.

Mu Ke's eyes glowed slightly as he looked towards the big screen, "If I'm not mistaken, Bai Liu did this to maintain a [weak] stance."

"He's baiting a weakness to Kong Xuyang to seek a break in Kong Xuyang's skill."
