So it wasn’t just her imagination. There really was something different with [Expert of the Monkeys] and [Juice] today.
After noticing the peculiar atmosphere in the air, s.h.i.+ Yao’s words lessened as well.
It was very silent throughout the duration of the game when compared to two days ago.
[111111] knocked out [Wish To Be Lazy and Rich] with AWN.
[111111] killed [Wake Up Youngster] with M416.
[111111] killed [Proud Of My Bad Grades] with grenade.
[111111] killed [Wish To Be Lazy and Rich] with grenade.
[111111] died in the Redzone.
On the third round, it took these five notifications for s.h.i.+ Yao to finally realize, to her astonishment, that the one in a peculiar state today wasn’t Expert or Juice, but Mister Numbers…
Mister Numbers had always been a very skilled player; s.h.i.+ Yao was well aware of this. There had never been a single occasion where he would risk being poisoned to death in the blue zone just so he could kill everyone in sight.
Due to this sudden realization, s.h.i.+ Yao began taking special note of [111111] when the fourth round started.
Yet, due to her inattention, she, who was rarely box-ified right after jumping while teamed up with Mister Numbers and the others, ended up being killed by another person with a pan shortly after she landed.
Thus, s.h.i.+ Yao switched her spectator view to [111111]’s.
She hadn’t noticed it before, but now that she was paying attention to Mister Numbers, she really had the shock of her life.
Instead of gearing up, [111111] picked up a gun right after landing and began searching for other players to kill.
He was a formidable player in the game, but he would still humbly gear up in the earlier phase. But in this round, he didn’t even bother going around looting items…
Even more bizarre was when he engaged with other players—he didn’t bother to take cover at all. Instead, he would simply face them head-on…
Within three minutes after the game started, he had already wiped out all of the enemies in the military base.
After slaughtering the other players, s.h.i.+ Yao thought that [111111] would start to gear up. Contrary to her expectations, he only picked up a few magazines, and without paying any heed to [Juice] and [Expert of the Monkeys], who were busy looting items behind him, he quickly found a motorcycle and drove off.
He first headed to Novorepnoye and slaughtered everyone there using that brutal and direct method from earlier. He then made his way to Mylta.
After [111111] had slaughtered his way down to Poc.h.i.n.ki, he ended up being killed because he ran out of bullets. Only then did it finally strike s.h.i.+ Yao—Mister Numbers was not playing to win today but to carry out a ma.s.sacre…
Even through a phone screen, she could vividly feel the overwhelming killing intent radiating off him.
Was he trying to vent his bad mood by frenziedly slaughtering everyone in the game?
[Expert of the Monkeys]: “Sis Yao, ready?”
Pulled back from her thoughts, s.h.i.+ Yao realized that the game had already come to an end.
She quickly pressed the ready b.u.t.ton as she mused over what she’d seen.
That explained why there was something different about Expert and Juice’s tone today. She had been searching for a word to describe it, and she finally found one: careful . They were speaking very carefully, very different from their carefree and joyful tones in the last two days…
