Cooperation
"Little Joker has already been captured by Moonlit Night, and the King should indeed be the Sun," Bai Yang said. "Give me this King; I need this Weird Object."
An Ying said, "No, if we kill this monster, we won't be able to achieve Perfect Clear. We're not sure if everyone still alive here can get out safely."
Bai Yang frowned. "Then what do you plan to do?"
"I already have a plan for Perfect Clear: recreating the scene of the Casino's destruction."
Tao Yuan said, "The Rules state that flames are not allowed, and those strange deaths all involve charring, which means there was a huge fire here before, and many people died in that fire."
"Everyone was freed from the flames, and now they are alive again, so we will set the fire again."
Qin Rang looked at Bai Yang, who was still frowning, and said, "After Perfect Clear, this world won't disappear immediately. You can swallow the sun when we leave this Instance and take back the last Playing Card."
With Perfect Clear and the elimination of the last Playing Card, this Weird Instance is now completely eradicated.
Even the Qihua Danger Zone was able to be restored to a safe Residential Zone through the Authorities operation after this Instance disappeared.
Bai Yang's expression softened upon hearing that he could obtain the King.
"What's the plan? I can't wait!" Sheng Qingqiao rubbed her hands together, eager to get started.
"We need to be careful with this. We should try to find more people later. We definitely can't burn down the entire Instance with just a few of us."
"We'll ignite it all together, catching the Instance too late to react, and that's how we achieve our goal."
"When setting the fire, we must also avoid being discovered by Security Guards. If we find any other survivors during our operation, we should try to pull them along."
"Good."
"Bai Yang, do you want to come along?" Qin Rang asked.
Bai Yang: "... Alright then."
So for the next hour or so, they split up and hid the Fire Seed while being pursued by Security Guards outside the street.
An Ying walked further in and met Wang Xiaoxiao and her new teammates.
After killing several strange Security Guards, An Ying explained her plan to them.
Wang Xiaoxiao's team consisted of only three people, including her. Each of them took a Fire Seed and chose a location.
"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Wang Xiaoxiao was extremely excited.
Her teammates beside her said, "If you trust us, you can give us a few more Fire Seeds, and we'll find more people to spread them."
"Burn! Burn these bastards to death! So many of our teammates have died, this damn monster won't survive either!" another person gritted his teeth and roared.
"Yes, burn them!"
Tao Yuan also ran into an acquaintance, the captain he had met a few times before at the station. Everyone in this squad was alive and had received six Fire Seeds.
She also encountered several teams that were now alone, and upon hearing her purpose, they voluntarily accepted several of her Fire Seed.
"Remember to protect the Fire Seed; if it goes out, all our efforts will be in vain," Tao Yuan instructed.
"Don't worry, I can definitely handle this little thing perfectly!" Even the timid person's eyes lit up with excitement. Who can't cause trouble?
"Go to hell, you disgusting bastards!" The man, whose mind was somewhat deranged, took the Fire Seed, his eyes bloodshot.
The most people Sheng Qingqiao encountered were about a dozen, all of whom were the newest batch. A few of them were missing limbs, and it seemed they had been badly affected by the Rules.
Sheng Qingqiao raised the Fire Seed and discussed the matter in hushed tones with the others.
Qin Rang didn't select people aimlessly; he went to his old acquaintance Mei Long.
When Qin Rang saw her, she had just finished a killing spree. Blood dripped from her leather jacket, her long curly hair was tied up high, and a few strands clung to her face, but her eyes were still bright.
"Why did you come to see me?" Mei Long stood up.
Qin Rang smiled and said, "We're all colleagues. An Ying told me about your collaboration before. How about we team up again?"
Mei Long saw right through him. "What do you want me to do?"
"I need your Range Communication Haunting Object."
"Do you have a way to solve this Instance?"
"As long as you're willing to cooperate," Qin Rang.
"Okay." Mei Long nodded.
The Fire Seed that Qin Rang sent out came from one of the abilities of one of his Weird Object, which could disperse the Fire Seed and instantly ignite an unquenchable blaze in the blink of an eye.
It's perfect for killing ghosts and setting fires.
More than an hour later, after Qin Rang finished setting fire to the last fire point he was in charge of, he found Bai Yang watching the commotion from the Chinese-Style Roof Eaves.
Because the live stream camera wasn't following Bai Yang, the lack of footage left everyone wondering what Bai Yang had been doing during that time. Judging from his relaxed demeanor, it was safe to assume he was probably slacking off.
Even Qin Rang, who was in excellent physical condition, had beads of sweat on the tip of his nose after hiding for more than an hour, while Bai Yang looked relaxed and at ease.
"Is it over?" Bai Yang asked, looking at Qin Rang who had nimbly jumped up.
"More or less." Qin Rang looked at him suspiciously. "You asked me for over a hundred Fire Seeds, and you sent them all out?"
Bai Yang said, "Oh, I gave it to my colleague, Flower Language. She has a lot of Thorns, but she'll get rid of them quickly."
"Your strange colleague is actually quite easy to talk to." Qin Rang said thoughtfully.
Bai Yang told the truth, "There were too many Security Guards, and she only agreed to help after she had her fill of killing them."
"... Okay." Qin Rang glanced at his watch and opened the Communication Channel. "Attention everyone, one minute left."
"Receive."
"Understood, we are ready."
"111."
"Wow! So exciting!"
"Let's see who kills the most!"
"Come on, burn these guys to death!!"
The crowd, who had been squatting in various places looking for good spots, became excited.
Everyone in the live stream was watching intently. Instance players working together to set the Instance on fire—this was a rare sight! Had they witnessed a legendary scene?
[Nervous, will this fire catch fire?]
[You absolutely have to succeed, please!]
[Is cooperating to turn the tide in Battle Royale Instance weird? I've never even dreamed of it.]
Burn these bastards! We have to finish this Instance!
My friend died inside. I just regret not being able to go in and kill those damned bastards myself.
Bai Yang took out the Rabbit Plush Toy, and Qin Rang's fingertip had already ignited a transparent flame. In the sunlight, the flame was colorless and smokeless, and only a faint flickering light could be seen in the air.
As Qin Rang's thoughts stirred, the flames quickly took on color, turning a crimson blaze. Bai Yang felt a powerful energy emanating from the flames, and a sense of unease arose within him.
Looking at the small flame, Bai Yang felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, a feeling he had never experienced before, even when fighting Moonlit Night.
As expected of the protagonist's cheat ability, the Colorless Fire is indeed enviable, and it has caused countless troubles. The power of this Weird Object flame is even greater than he imagined.
Seeing through it but not saying anything, Bai Yang only glanced at the Colorless Fire out of the corner of his eye, seemingly noticing nothing special, and focused on counting the time.
As the clock struck the hour, Qin Rang deftly flicked away the flame from his fingertips.
"Now, everyone, let go."
