Thriller Paradise

19th of April, midnight.

The semi-finals for the tournament for the best of the best began.

As it was already the semi-finals, the two matches were staggered out of consideration for the ratings and respect for the advertisers. The two teams, hell frontline and order, could rest for an extra day and fight again on the early morning of the 20th. Tonight's battle was between [trash Alliance] and [door to heaven].

[S3 of the tournament, semi-final]

[Venue: gray cloud Mountain]

When the members of the two teams entered the spectator space, the system voice sounded in their ears.

Then, he said,[the match will begin in 30 seconds.]

In the battle of the vanguards, the two people that were sent to the battlefield were [flying Pegasus] and [Charlie].

Everyone was very familiar with brony. As for Salem ... His appearance was the same as most casual players. He looked like an ordinary person who had been modified to be slightly more handsome. He was wearing a black-and-white outfit and did not have any weapons or equipment on him. It was difficult to tell what kind of player he was.

Since this match was being carried out under the effect of the 'God equipment', the moment the battle started, the special effect of the [Philosopher's Stone] on the side of the [waste Alliance],'turn stone into gold'... Had already started to count down.

It took exactly 30 seconds for the barrier to disappear. In other words, Charlie's equipment and skills would have a 'value increase' the moment the battle began. Besides, with the [talisman] from [door to heaven], the increase would be even more powerful. It was very likely that more than half of Charlie's skills and equipment would lose their effects immediately.

Of course, according to ambitionist's analysis, there were countermeasures against this kind of restraint. The opponent only needed to adjust his items and skills before the match and bring some items with low equipment/learning requirements ... Although that would reduce his combat power by a lot, it was still better than carrying a whole body of useless things.

[...Two...One...Fight!]

The countdown ended quickly, and the barrier disappeared.

In this kind of one-on-one challenge, the bold and unconstrained character would usually not retreat in the preparation stage. Charlie didn't even take half a step back.

The moment the battle started, the two of them engaged in close combat.

The audience thought that what followed would be an earth-shattering and intense battle to their hearts 'content ...

However, the reality was ...

Buzz buzz buzz

With a strange sound of energy surging, Charlie's eyes emitted a strange light.

As for Skyhorse, who was being stared at by him, he was like a still frame in a movie, frozen in a half-done charging motion and not moving at all.

…………

"Sure enough ... It's this development again ..." At that moment, ghost hunter, who was watching the game in the conference room, muttered with a rather serious expression. From his tone, the scene in front of him didn't seem to surprise him.

"You still can't see anything?" The raw fish slices asked.

It was obvious that this wasn't the first time they talked about the [door to heaven].

"Ah ..." Ghost hunter nodded."We can't observe them at all. We can only guess their abilities from the performance of the third party ..." He paused and looked up at flying Pegasus in the live broadcast."For example, from the data on flying Pegasus 'side, his physical activity has been suppressed by some kind of ability. Even his energy activity has been restricted. Charlie, who activated this ability, seems to only have to' keep an eye on the opponent' at the cost of activating it."

"Hmm ..." Sashimi muttered,"from the match records so far, the seven players on their team have all displayed this 'unreasonable' skill. Without a doubt, their abilities are all permanent skills that can be used repeatedly ..."

"The point ... Is not how strong they are." Zen dream interrupted,"it 's' where did these guys come from '."

He paused for a few seconds, took a puff of his cigarette, and said,""Regarding blocking ghost hunter 's' data perspective ', it is actually understandable ... After all, Thriller Paradise has a huge player base. Even someone like Feng bujue who can copy other people's skills exists, so it is normal for a few players who can' reverse data perspective 'to appear.

"It's just that ... In a team, seven players with related IDs all have this ability. Moreover, they all have super-class combat power. The probability of this happening is frighteningly low.

"What's even weirder is that these seven experts are like bosses that appeared out of thin air. Even with our network in order, we can't find any players who have come into contact with them in the scenario ... We can't find any posts or replies from their IDs on the game forum either ... This is almost impossible for non-professional players."

"So you mean ..." Ye Zhi could tell that there was a hidden meaning in his words, so she asked.

"Fufufu ..." Zen dream blew out a cloud of smoke."This team is most likely related to dream Inc."

"You're saying that they're in cahoots with someone from dream Inc?" Ye Zhi asked again,"he used a hack developed by some game company? Or did you directly change the data?"

"No, I didn't mean it that way." Brother Zen corrected him,"in the past year, dream Inc.'S style and execution of the plan are obvious to all ... If some of their employees had colluded with outsiders to cheat, then this team would have been found out and disqualified a long time ago. Those who were working on the inside would not be able to escape either. Now, since this team has made it all the way to the semi-finals without being investigated, it means that dream Inc. Thinks that they have no problems, or even possibly ... This team is actually being supported by the officials behind the scenes. "

At this point, understanding death turned around and asked,""Your explanation does make sense based on the current results, but what is the 'motive' behind it? Why would dream Inc. Want to plant such a team in the competition? Is there any benefit to them?"

"This is also something that I can't figure out." Brother Zen replied,"you say they're making stars, right? the seven of them are all low-key like fugitives. They don't look like they want to be famous. If they said they were 'selling the championship'... How much money did dream Inc have to spend to do such a thing? "To be honest, I personally feel that ... Dream Inc. Is not a company that treats the players like their sons. They treat the players like their grandsons and their capital like their grandsons ..." He shrugged and continued,"the only assumption I can think of right now is that ... Dream Inc. Has placed such a strong team in the competition to use them to eliminate certain teams or players ..."

…………

While they were conversing, the battle of the vanguards had already ended.

From the first second of the match, he had been frozen. Although he had been trying to break free from the shackles, he had not succeeded in the end.

A moment later, Charlie, who felt that he had "observed enough," could only sigh and say,""You do have some unique charisma, and you have a certain amount of potential and talent in certain aspects. However, in this final selection, just those are not enough for you to pass ... Being unable to escape from the imprisonment of 'evil eye' means that you have not found a way to escape from the 'biological' level on the two paths of 'strength' and 'spiritual sense'. So, the result is obvious ..."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. No one knew who he was talking to. "I'm sorry, you're not qualified. "

After saying that, his eyes glowed again. Just by "looking" at the wild horse, he turned it into white light.

The victory and defeat of this match ended in this confrontation that was like a hack machine and inexplicable lines.

The audience, the commentators, and even the contestants who had been eliminated in the previous rounds ... Were all dumbfounded. Only a small number of people, as well as some non-human and higher existences, understood Charlie's words.

In any case, the score had become one to zero.

Next up was the mid-to-strong battle.

After a short rest, Raphael and Gabriel from [door to heaven] and [Swan] and [seven kills] from [waste Alliance] appeared on the field.

If the bold and unconstrained 'elimination' was somewhat inexplicable and aggrieved, then these two could be considered to be more 'submissive'.

Under the restraint of the God equipment, Rafel and Gabriel stood there for a full minute while withstanding the attacks of their two opponents. During this time, ambitionist and seven kills used their ultimate moves and soul Intent, but they were unable to kill a single person.

Ambitionist couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen a fake divine artifact. A full set of fake equipment? He used a bunch of fake skills?" The feeling.

Of course, he wasn't the only one. Seven kills and the audience were thinking the same thing ...

A minute later, the two of them received the evaluation of 'this is the end of their skills' and 'only interested in training', and were immediately killed by the two from heaven.

At this point, at least the audience had unanimously agreed that the members of the [door to heaven] were all monsters on the level of demon ghosts.

Throughout all the matches in S3 up until now, it was true that only the match between ghost hunter and Shiva had allowed a top-tier expert to attack for a minute and then easily counter-kill him.

Before this, most of the opponents that [door to heaven] faced were second-rate forces, and the most powerful one was [red Sakura], which didn't have Xu Huaiyuan. Therefore, the players didn't really know the "upper limit" of their strength.

However, when they met with the trash Alliance, they were still able to display their suffocating calmness and despairing battle power. This ... Wasn't something that could be described as "strong."

If it wasn't for dream Inc.'S unyielding attitude and the fact that this team was so low-profile that there was no way to criticize them, 90% of the players would have believed it if they said that they were cheating without any evidence.
