Gathering Players

"Golden Flash?"

Slightly puzzled, Bai Zhi turned his head and saw a Golden Light figure standing on a street lamp not far away.

The other party seemed to have noticed them as well, and also turned their gaze towards them.

With the enhanced visibility provided by Pluto, Bai Zhi could clearly see the other person's face. Upon seeing the other person's face, Bai Zhi's expression immediately became quite strange.

The man standing atop the streetlight, Golden Flash like Super Saiyan exploding with power, was none other than the unlucky fellow he'd encountered at the S-rank Highest-Tier Station...

--The male Player who was first held down by the White-haired Man in Sunglasses and had a needle stuck in his leg, and then thrown out of the supermarket by the can Merchant, was wearing an eye patch over his left eye.

[Invert Black and White: The World’s Seven Deadly Sins]

"You passed through my scene... So you didn't die after all?"

They jumped down from the streetlight, and the other person landed right in front of them. However, before they could finish their sentence, they looked at Fireworks of Romance, who was wearing Pikachu Pajamas, with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Let me introduce myself. My name Li Tong, but you can also call me World’s Seven Deadly Sins. What about you?"

"[Black&White], [Fireworks of Romance]."

Bai Zhi glanced towards the campus and, with a hint of interest, asked Li Tong a question.

"What were you doing standing on that streetlight? And could you turn off those Light and Shadow effects?"

Although he had some recollection of the other person, the other person might not recognize him.

"I'm waiting for someone to come over. Player ID: [The World For You Alone], she's currently dealing with Anomaly inside. The view from the top of the streetlight is perfect."

As he spoke, Li Tong casually turned off the Light and Shadow effects on his body.

"As for the Light and Shadow effects on me, it's a Passive Skill that activates automatically in certain environments... I can't turn it off on the streetlight, but I can turn it off when I get down."

"So, are streetlights and Golden Flash tied together...? So why did I die?"

The Fireworks of Romance nearby were speechless with disbelief.

"In low-budget horror movies, the character who appears at the very beginning is usually not the Protagonist. I bet you'll die within the first three minutes of the film."

Faced with the complaints about the Fireworks of Romance, Li Tong nodded with a serious expression.

"After all, you look like a nobody who's just Extra."

Fireworks of Romance: "..."

... Bai Zhi suddenly understood why the other party had been thrown out by the White-haired Man in Sunglasses and the jar Merchant one after the other.

None of those who become Player are fools... or rather, the number of fools is very small.

Of the ten Player participating in this Dungeon, aside from the enigmatic Gelina, the least skilled among them were all Player from the S-rank Station.

After several rounds of elimination, most of the Player were still rated as S-rank had their own unique strengths... Bai Zhi realized that he didn't really need to worry about it.

--This is the fourth Anomaly Space.

Unlike the previous scenes of subways, Apartment Building, Dormitory, and schools, this scene is significantly larger.

While waiting in the bicycle shed, Bai Zhi and Li Tong, who was known for his "arrogant" manner, exchanged some information.

The other person arrived not much earlier than them, probably only about twenty minutes earlier. When he arrived... he almost killed [The World For You Alone], mistaking it for an Anomaly.

When this matter was brought up, Li Tong seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"Ahem... This isn't my fault. It's just that compared to the Anomaly that exist on this campus, she's more like Anomaly..."

"Player more like Anomaly than Anomaly themselves? What's going on?"

The Fireworks of Romance clearly piqued their interest.

"When I arrived here, I saw a disheveled man chasing a high school girl... In this situation, what choice would you make?"

"Of course it's to save people!!"

The Fireworks of Romance seemed to evoke a look of utter nonchalance.

"I'll cheer you on from the sidelines."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.

"My thoughts are the same as the Extra's."

Leaning against a sign with one hand, Li Tong looked utterly exasperated.

"... But in reality, the one floating behind chasing is the Player, while the one being chased in front is the Anomaly."

Bai Zhi / Fireworks of Romance: "..."

"So you tell me, who can really figure out something like this...?"

Li Tong sighed melancholy, completely unaware that his demeanor had subtly changed.

"I figured it out, the streetlights are actually tied to DIO..."

Fireworks of Romance whispered something to Bai Zhi beside her.

"DIO probably wanted to use this thing to cut off Jotaro's head."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.

Li Tong: "???"

I'm talking about serious matters, what are you guys talking about?

Three minutes later, a Young Girl in a school uniform walked lightly out of the school.

The Young Girl had a beautiful face, but just gazing at her face for a moment could inexplicably create a sense of unreality.

"This is the [Black Pot God of War]? He doesn't seem that impressive. I thought he would be..."

Watching the Young Girl walking towards them, Fireworks of Romance muttered something to herself.

"Tch, then your title of '[Team Wipe Engine]' is nothing more common."

Chang Xi, who had walked closer, pursed her lips and replied.

"You recognize me?"

After hearing the Young Girl's words, Fireworks of Romance was slightly taken aback.

"I don't recognize him, but I do recognize a member of your guild, that guy with the Title [Lord of the Five Grains Cycle]. Why do you think I specifically entered this Dungeon?"

Chang Xi gave a soft hum and spoke.

"Could you please inform him for me? I..."

"Alright, let's hurry up and make the most of this time. Can your Sanity Value withstand this kind of drain?"

The exit interrupted the other person's words, and Bai Zhi turned around and walked towards the school gate first.

"If you want to catch up, there will be plenty of time for you later. Now is not the time to waste."

"Who is this guy? Why should we listen to him?"

With some dissatisfaction at being interrupted, Chang Xi asked Li Tong, who was completely transformed into DIO but was oblivious to it.

"Is Black&White wrong? You're just wasting your time."

With a soft hum, a surge of inexplicable Fireworks of Romance turned and followed Bai Zhi's steps.

To be honest, she really wanted to beat Li Tong up.

"The depletion of Sanity Value is a big problem in itself. If we continue to waste time here, we'll see what happens when our Sanity Value drops to the critical point..."
