Glancing at the time, Sakurai Chinatsu realized that the countdown to becoming a humanoid was almost over, and a thought of backing out arose in her heart.

We have no choice but to retreat! We can't kill them, and we can't beat them in a fight.

They're completely wasting their time here!

If they had targeted ordinary players, their team would have scored several points by now.

Sakurai Chinatsu frowned, then pulled out a rag doll and threw it on the ground: "Let's go!"

A flash of blue light appeared, and the doll instantly grew larger, letting out a piercing scream. Xiao Jin felt a wave of dizziness, her eyes instinctively fixed on the doll's body.

By the time she realized what was happening, Sakurai Chinatsu and the other three had already disappeared.

Xiao Jin did not give chase, because she noticed that the wound on her left shoulder, where the puppeteer's poisonous bandage had chafed, was turning a strange purple.

"Tsk." She quickly took out the antidote and injected it, but her movements were already a beat slower than usual.

Xiao Jin had just finished treating his wounds when the scene before him began to rapidly expand.

Sigh, time's up.

Xiao Jin had been fighting with Sakurai Chinatsu the whole time and hadn't had time to check the score.

She glanced down at the panel.

'Ha!'

Competition really does ignite passion! The first wave of battle had barely begun when both the red and blue sides suffered casualties.

Xiao Jin didn't think much of it, because she quickly threw herself into the second wave of the battle.

The game lasted for an hour. Twice, Xiao Jin failed to grab a battery and was forced to hide in the form of a cotton doll.

However, this also made Xiao Jin discover something: Xiao Chengzhi and Li Qi were always loitering around her, seemingly planning something.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jin felt that things couldn't continue like this. These two were too annoying, so why not give them a chance?

Xiao Jin's eyes darted around, and just before the battery countdown ended, she gave Xiao Chengzhi and the other person a clue and created a perfectly normal chance encounter.

Of course, Xiao Jin even staged an injury for this purpose.

………………

At the corner of the corridor, Xiao Jin's hair was slightly damp. She leaned against the wall, breathing heavily, blood trickling down her fingertips with a 'slap, slap' sound.

Just then, a familiar cold laugh suddenly came from Xiao Jin's other side.

"Oh, you're injured?"

Xiao Jin, who had been looking down, smiled. "They've finally arrived!"

Xiao Chengzhi slowly emerged from the shadows, with Li Qi, the toy car missing a wheel, beside him. Interestingly, neither of them transformed into human form; they remained in toy form.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin sneered, "How incredibly naive."

"Again? If you have nothing to say, then get lost." Xiao Jin gripped his long sword tightly, his eyes icy cold.

Li Qi's car headlights flashed, emitting a piercing laugh: "Heh, still trying to hide? You think I didn't recognize you... 'Shadow'?"

You killed Miss Xiao Xin, now you should pay with your life!

Xiao Jin stared blankly, and what she said almost made Xiao Chengzhi die of anger.

"Xiao Xin? Who is that!"

"You bastard!" Xiao Chengzhi's face flushed red. "Don't think you can get away with this. I will avenge my daughter. Just wait and see how you die!"

After saying that, Xiao Chengzhi raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Click"

Black runes suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, and the space was instantly sealed off!

“This is the ‘Imprisonment Scroll’ that I bought at a high price.” Xiao Chengzhi said with a sinister smile, “For ten minutes, this place will be isolated from the outside world—you can’t escape, and no one can come to save you.”

Come out..."

As soon as Xiao Chengzhi finished speaking, five players from the blue team suddenly emerged from the shadows.

They grinned maliciously and cracked their knuckles: "Haha, I never expected such a good thing, with points delivered right to my door."

Xiao Jin glanced around and suddenly laughed: "You're willing to disregard the rules of the faction just to kill me?"

"Rules?" Xiao Chengzhi sneered. "As long as you don't die by my hand, the system won't punish me."

He took a step back and waved his hand, signaling, "Make your move!"

Five players from the blue team pounced at the same time!

A player with a big nose slammed his fist down with a whooshing sound, and a faint red light flashed across it, clearly indicating a fist-based skill.

Xiao Jin dodged to the side, her longsword slicing across his wrist. Unfortunately, it only left a small cut. At this level, the big-nosed player felt no pain at all.

"It's no use, just surrender obediently." With that, he grabbed the blade with his other hand!

"You're quite pretty, why don't you play with me for a bit? Maybe I can even give you a quicker death, huh? Hahahaha..."

The people around burst into laughter.

To be honest, after being cooped up in the game for so long, I wanted to "rub against" any good-looking character I saw, let alone Xiao Jin, who was an exceptionally beautiful one.

"Got you!" one player laughed wildly, and tried to drag Xiao Jin over by brute force.

Xiao Jin decisively let go, lowered his body, drew the Shadow Dagger from his waist, and stabbed it hard into the strong man's knee!

"ah!"

Xiao Jin: "Overestimating yourself."

The moment the burly man knelt down, Xiao Jin snatched back the long sword and beheaded him with a backhand motion.

[Red team kills Blue team player, score +1]

The remaining four men's expressions changed drastically. A skinny man wearing glasses roared, "Baka! Didn't you say she was injured?! This is what you call injured?!"

Xiao Jin gave the blue team players no chance to catch their breath. With a flash of light, he slashed away the item in one of their hands. The opponent's throat was cut off by Xiao Jin in a few moves, and he fell down with blood spurting from his throat.

“The second one.” Xiao Jin’s gaze was icy.

The remaining three finally panicked. They had thought Xiao Jin would be easy to defeat, but she grew stronger with each battle!

"Baka! This guy is impossible to kill!"

"Xiao Chengzhi is setting us up! This is entrapment!" In an instant, a multitude of schemes flashed through their minds.

At this moment, the blue team players were starting to wonder if Xiao Chengzhi had deliberately tricked them into coming here to be killed.

The remaining three turned to flee, but the binding scroll became their prison. Xiao Jin pursued them like the Grim Reaper, his blade splattering blood across the walls.

When the third person fell, Xiao Chengzhi's face was already ashen.

Li Qi's car trembled as it reversed: "Xiao, Xiao...were we tricked...?"

Xiao Chengzhi stared intently at Xiao Jin: "...How is this possible..."

Xiao Jin shook the blood off his knife, ignoring the turmoil in Li Qi and the other two's hearts, and walked towards the remaining two players.

Suddenly, the time for sealing the scroll was up. The spatial blockade was lifted, and sounds from the outside world returned to their ears.

Furthermore, Xiao Jin's battery energy has been completely depleted, and she is about to revert to her toy form.

Seeing this, the two blue team players, as if they had escaped a close call, took off running, fearing that Xiao Jin would catch them. Xiao Chengzhi and Li Qi also took the opportunity to turn around and escape, disappearing at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
