The city is deserted at night.
Skyscrapers stand tall, streetlights are bright, streets are clean and tidy, and private cars are parked along the roadside—it's a very modern city.
Yet, this city was eerily quiet, devoid of any human presence, filled with an unsettling atmosphere.
Bai Liao looked around but didn't see Meng Feifei.
He has clearly gone into hiding.
For a sniper, regardless of the battlefield, learning to conceal oneself is undoubtedly the most important thing.
"You don't think hiding will help you, do you?" Bai Liao flicked the small dagger in his hand and said, "Why don't you come out and surrender? Stop hiding. I don't have time to waste here with you."
No one answered; the place was empty, and only his own echo returned in the deserted city.
Bai Liao grinned: "Hehe... Fine, it's good that you don't want to come out. Prey fleeing in panic excites me more... Well, you'd better hide well, I'm coming to catch you..."
As he spoke, Bai Liao raised his left hand, pinched his index, middle, and thumb into a shape, and grabbed in the darkness, tearing a gash in the shadows!
"Special Ability - Dark Capture!"
In the dark city, Bai Liao's supernatural voice quietly rang out.
Clumps of strange black things welled up from his fingers and seeped into the shadows on the ground...
Centered on the white fang, this dark force rapidly spread in all directions. Then, all the shadows in the city seemed to come alive and surged up from the ground, like eerie tree branches or menacing ghostly hands!
Meng Feifei was hiding on the roof of a low house, using the darkness and the trees to observe Bai Liao in the dark.
Unexpectedly, the surrounding shadows suddenly seemed to materialize, and the darkness that had been protecting him now appeared to be terrifying and grotesque monsters!
Meng Feifei's heart skipped a beat.
Some of those dark shadows resembled tentacles, while others resembled claws.
They wrapped themselves around his body! They grabbed his hands and feet!
'WTF? What kind of ability is this?!'
Meng Feifei sensed something was wrong and cried out in alarm.
"Haha, I found you!" Bai Liao's eyes revealed excitement as he stared at the spot where Meng Feifei was hiding.
He raised his hand again and grabbed, and more dark shadows spread toward him.
Upon seeing this, Meng Feifei broke out in a cold sweat and quickly loaded a special bullet into her sniper rifle.
Then he aimed it at his feet.
"Superpower - Rocket Jump!"
With a "bang!", Meng Feifei pulled the trigger, and like a rocket, he used the recoil to leap into the air and escape from the darkness.
Meng Fei leaped into the air, then immediately pulled out another bullet from his tactical vest and put it into the magazine. His movements were fluid and extremely fast. Then, he aimed at Bai Liao in the air and made a quick flick shot!
"Bang!"
The bullets from the Soul Energy Sniper Rifle left a clearly visible trail of airflow in the air.
But the shot missed, and Bai Liao's figure disappeared into the darkness, clearly having vanished into the shadows.
Meng Feifei landed from the air, clutching a sniper rifle.
However, as soon as they landed, several daggers shot out from the darkness in all directions, with no one knowing where they came from.
He quickly dodged several times, hiding in a spot with less shadow under a streetlamp, and then cautiously observed his surroundings.
“It seems Meng Feifei is in big trouble.” Chu Men said, while scribbling in his notebook: “His sniper skills are too easily countered by Bai Liao, and his long stealth ability is completely exposed in the face of Bai Liao’s abilities.”
Lin Nai stroked her chin thoughtfully, then nodded: "Yes."
I never imagined that Bai Liao's ability to control shadows had reached this level.
Such darkness would normally be very advantageous for a sniper who needs to conceal themselves.
But Bai Liao is someone who can control darkness.
If darkness is Meng Feifei's ally, then darkness is Bai Liao's paradise!
"As expected, this match is the one with the least suspense among the quarterfinals." A female voice came from behind.
Lin Nai turned around and saw Yu Yuanyuan and several other students from Shanhai University walking down from above the audience seats.
"Brother White Reaper, we meet again." Yu Yuanyuan winked at Lin Nai, a playful smile on her face. "You haven't forgotten me, have you?"
"It's you." Lin Nai looked at her. "So you've been staying here all this time."
Yu Yuanyuan raised her chest slightly: "Of course! This is a one-time opportunity to watch the competition live for free, and the contestants will also have an unlimited supply of spiritual food. How can we miss such a chance to get something for free?"
Linnaeus: "..."
Yu Yuanyuan then spotted Hua Yingwen next to Hua Lingze, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, it's you? Pretty little sister, do you remember me? We met in the first round of the competition."
"..." Hua Yingwen immediately recalled the scene of being teased by this girl in the first round of the competition. Her cheeks flushed red, and she turned her head away through gritted teeth: "I don't remember."
Hua Lingze gave her a deep look, then asked with feigned curiosity, "Little sister, is she your friend?"
Hua Yingwen: "...No!"
“Actually, I stayed behind to make friends with you all,” Yu Yuanyuan smiled. “After all, those who made it to this round are definitely key figures that Yan Country will focus on developing in the future. Maybe we’ll have a chance to work together on missions in the future.” As she spoke, she extended her hand. “My name is Yu Yuanyuan. I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future.”
Seeing this, Hua Lingze casually extended his hand to shake hers and smiled, "My name is Hua Lingze, from Kyoto University."
"Hehe, I know, I've heard of the name of the eldest young master of the Hua family for a long time."
Yu Yuanyuan then looked at Lin Nai and asked curiously, "By the way, you'll eventually have to face Mu Xun from Guigu in the later matches. How confident are you in defeating him?"
