Madness Match

On the other side of the battlefield, Binluk's hand holding the binoculars trembled slightly.

"My God! Why are there so many people in that area?"

After reviewing the data analyzed by the telescope, he looked up at the person next door who was also looking across at him and said...

"Don't panic. I noticed someone without Sanctuary. I suspect he's not Survivor, maybe it's a summoned beast or something."

"Layton, you son of a bitch! There are so many people over there, what difference does it make if there are nine or ten of them?"

"And my binoculars tell me that the person in the robe is the most terrifying; he's rapidly absorbing and releasing the surrounding Mana, forming a huge vortex! It's comparable to the level 7 Elite monster we encountered last time!"

Spencer Layton glanced helplessly at Binluk, who had greeted him, "What's the panic? If you can't win, just surrender."

The elimination condition for a zone is that all players in the zone surrender or die. The condition for surrendering is to continuously click the "Surrender" button on the panel for three seconds while out of combat.

"But if the difference in strength is too great, they might not even be able to surrender and would be killed before they can even surrender." Binluk had a fiery temper.

"What's the panic? I have the Truth..." Layton hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly pointed to the side:

"Look! A madman!"

The professionals across the battlefield were secretly probing the full-strength squad in Zone 76.

It's like going through all sorts of hardships, losing all your teammates along the way, finally making it to the final circle alone, only to find out that two full squads have teamed up in secret – the same kind of despair.

Shan Yixian's gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on that somewhat frail-looking figure.

Why doesn't this guy have Sanctuary? Is he some unlucky guy who used a permanent teleportation item?

It's unlikely; it must be some kind of extremely special Sanctuary.

Invisibility? Space folding? Another dimension?

Shan Yixian's thoughts were interrupted by a sound coming from the Sanctuary.

That was another participant from his region, a guy who went completely insane after Class Change.

Eerie sounds emanated from the Sanctuary: shrill laughter mingled with mournful howls, desperate pleas for mercy mingled with mad babbling, as if a million souls were being tortured within.

Shan Yixian unconsciously rubbed his shoulders, recalling what his neighbor was like before the Class Change. Before the Class Change, he was clearly a very kind-hearted guy who often posted strategy guides in the channel. He was a little weaker than Shan Yixian and was ranked second in the region at the time.

After Class Change, he became abnormal. It was as if he went crazy as soon as he came out. After going to [Dangerous Terrain] a few times, he became completely inhuman.

Even in this state, they still come to participate in the District War.

"Squeak--"

The door to the Sanctuary next door, its walls covered in unidentified filth, slowly opened.

First, an indescribable stench spread out, a smell mixed with rotting flesh, excrement, and the fragrance of some kind of flower.

Then, an indescribable creature wriggled out.

Its limbs were twisted in a strange way, the joints were bent backwards, and its fingers and toes were spread out at abnormal angles.

Its pale skin was covered with writhing maggots and various parasites, which slithered under its skin, forming disgusting bulges.

With his hands bent exaggeratedly backward to support himself on the ground, his entire body lay on his back, crawling like a deformed spider.

Its eyes were completely rolled back, with no pupils visible, only a cloudy, milky white, while multiple sounds were simultaneously emanating from its split mouth.

Yes, all those wails, maniacal laughter, and pleas for mercy came from the same mouth.

The unbearable stench grew stronger, and Shan Yixian instinctively covered her nose, her brows furrowed.

The creature kept sniffing the ground, circling the Sanctuary like a lecherous wolf surveying its territory.

Professionals in the surrounding area shifted their attention away from Zone 76 and began spying on the area using various means.

Even the people in Zone 76 stared intently at this horrifying scene.

That person looks like a dog.

I haven't seen such a thoroughly insane person in a long time.

The creature suddenly stopped spinning, raised its head and stared straight in Shan Yixian's direction, then slowly stood up.

Its spine emitted a teeth-grinding sound, as if every vertebra was resisting the movement.

When it stands fully upright, it is nearly 2.5 meters tall, and its pale body gleams with an unhealthy sheen under the pixelated Sun.

The fact that this thing, which originally didn't look human, suddenly displayed such an anthropomorphic posture sent a chill down Shan Yixian's spine.

It's like being home alone late at night and suddenly finding your pet dog standing on its hind legs, giving you a lewd smile.

Things that didn't look like humans suddenly started to look like humans.

This guy has gone so crazy that it's creating a "big butt effect."

Shan Yixian forced himself to remain calm and did not close the observation window of the Sanctuary. The difference in strength gave him some confidence.

He was confident that he could easily subdue this madman.

The figure stopped the jumbled sounds it was making, its cracked lips smeared with unnaturally bright lipstick, and slowly stretched into a smile that ripped down to its ears.

"Hehe, I know you, your name is... your name is Shan Yixian!"

"We... seem to be from the same district!"

"Hehehe, fellow countrymen meeting, let's stab each other upon meeting!"

"Hehe~ I'm going to stab you!"

Perfect logic!

After saying that, it took out its specialty and began to perform a traditional craft for Shan Yixian.

Su Luo was focused on building the Laboratory and had little energy to watch the madman's performance. She glanced at it by chance and immediately stopped what she was doing.

"What are you doing? Praying in the jar?"

Song Shige: "Madness Match."

An eerie silence fell over the entire battlefield.

These powerful individuals, who were originally at the forefront of the world, witnessed such a scene and couldn't help but lose their mystique towards the term "powerful."

Before coming here, everyone thought they would be able to witness the diverse and powerful figures from other regions.

Shan Yixian suppressed the urge to cut something off and retreated expressionlessly into the Sanctuary.

"Can a person... go this crazy?" Jing Yunxin hesitated.

"Aren't you studying psychology?" Xi Ji exhaled a smoke ring.

"I studied child psychology! And isn't that medical? What child would do that?"

Xi Ji lit a second cigarette. "I don't think so."

Everyone fell silent again.

In the silence, Su Luo and the others saw something rush out with an extremely fast initial velocity, creating a sonic boom ring, and carrying kinetic energy powerful enough to tear apart boulders as it struck the wall of Shan Yixian's Sanctuary.

Everyone: "..."

The wall evaporated the liquid in a flash of light.

"I've really learned something new today," Guizishi murmured, his tone filled with bewilderment at having his worldview shattered.

"President, can you do it?"

Song Shige: "..."

I've never been so speechless in my life.
