To give one's all is to fight until death.

At the start of the game, it was still the Rebel meeting the Phantom Girl.

In another 45 seconds, the first Pallbearer Q would enter the conference venue. Ren Suo controlled the Phantom Girl, but this time he didn't have her hide in the farthest corner from the door; instead, he had her hide in the women's restroom on the other side of the venue.

The Rebel stood not far from the women's restroom, quietly waiting for the Pallbearer's arrival.

Soon, Pallbearer Q entered the conference venue and moved directly toward the restrooms. Since the Phantom Girl hadn't moved, Pallbearer Q didn't grow suspicious. He only stopped when he reached the entrance to the women's restroom.

Ren Suo naturally didn't think a 'women's restroom' could block Pallbearer Q's progress. However, Pallbearer Q seemed not to want to cause a commotion. He made no visible move, then suddenly, the space around him burst into ripples—

Pallbearer Q had launched "Fatal Deterrence"!

Cosmic Princess A was intimidated!

Cross-dressing Demon Butler B was intimidated!

Female Passerby C was intimidated!

The Phantom Girl was immune to Intimidation!

Inside the women's restroom, apart from the Phantom Girl, everyone else was affected by the Pallbearer and promptly left. The crowd outside also turned their heads away from the restroom due to the Intimidation; no one dared look at Pallbearer Q!

Thus, Pallbearer Q walked blatantly into the women's restroom!

"Now," Ren Suo pushed the joystick, urging the Rebel to follow.

The Phantom Girl was hiding in the innermost stall. As Pallbearer Q prepared to walk past, the Rebel also entered the restroom.

Targeting Pallbearer Q, Ren Suo decisively pressed 'X' (Mage's Death-Defying Feather) and 'R1' (Wax and Wane). The Rebel instantly transformed into a streak of moonlight that thrust at Pallbearer Q!

The restroom was cramped, leaving Pallbearer Q with little room to maneuver. He could only turn and face the Rebel's surprise attack!

[Pallbearer Q activated "Iron Armor," reducing the Rebel's attack damage by 60%, resulting in a Minor Injury!]

Now, if Ren Suo didn't use "As Close As The Ends of The Earth" to enable the Rebel to escape, the Pallbearer would immediately counterattack. The Rebel, vastly inferior in combat power, would certainly lose the fight.

Escape was necessary, but not by using "As Close As The Ends of The Earth," a skill with a very long cooldown time!

Ren Suo pulled the joystick in the opposite direction and pressed 'X'. The Rebel transformed into flowing light and escaped Pallbearer Q's attack range, while blood seemed to seep from some pixels of his body.

[The Rebel suffered movement shock damage. "Gauze Clothing" weakened 40% of the impact damage, resulting in a Minor Injury!]

Just a Minor Injury. Acceptable!

Without hesitation, Ren Suo pressed 'X' and 'R1' again, directing the Rebel to charge and attack Pallbearer Q!

Pallbearer Q seemed to be witnessing such a flamboyant RUN-HIT-RUN tactic (move-attack-move) for the first time. Moreover, the women's restroom offered very little room to maneuver. Pallbearer Q was slower than the Rebel and couldn't land a hit. After several rounds, the Rebel, using moonlight slashes, had managed to carve several bloody gashes on him!

[The Rebel killed Pallbearer Q! Determination Value permanently increased by 20%!]

Ren Suo took a deep breath. Indeed, this tactic was flawless. First, he used the Phantom Girl to lure the Pallbearer into the confined space of the women's restroom. Then, leveraging the almost insurmountable speed advantage of "Mage's Death-Defying Feather," he had the Rebel kite the enemy to death!

On the internal network, researchers most frequently discussed the teleportation ability of Magicians in "Mage Under the World Tree."

This ability had no cooldown, covered a considerable distance, placed no physical burden on the user, and allowed Magicians to attack immediately after teleporting.

Some researchers even stated: "Without their teleportation ability, Magicians would definitely not be a match for human armies. Their powerful magic would be about as effective as fireworks against the saturation attacks of an army group. But precisely because of Teleportation Magic, Magicians are virtually unbeatable. Any creatures or legions whose defenses are insufficient to withstand a magical bombardment, when facing Magicians who can come and go as they please and possess strong survival abilities, are no different from butter. Magicians, like hot knives, can easily slice through their structures, yet their opponents can do nothing in return. Even monsters in the Secret Realms can only harm Magicians by being able to withstand storms of bullets and magic, and then trading injuries."

Mastering Teleportation Magic allowed for pursuing enemies or retreating. If evenly matched, kiting could even wear down the enemy directly—as the Rebel had just demonstrated.

However, the Rebel had paid a significant price:

"The Rebel is in a state of serious injury and blood loss, expected to pass out in 185 seconds. In 30 seconds, his Determination Value will begin to decline at a rate of 1%/s."

Apart from Magicians, anyone else using "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" would suffer serious injuries due to excessive speed.

If it weren't for the "stationary" effect of this prop (the longer one stood still, the lower the damage received from activating the prop), Ren Suo himself couldn't use it at all.

The Rebel didn't seem very strong either. However, having learned "Gauze Clothing," he could continuously activate it to reduce the impact damage from excessive speed, thereby temporarily maximizing this teleportation ability.

However, after the battle, the Rebel would faint due to serious injuries and even experience a decrease in his Determination Value.

But for Ren Suo, this wasn't a problem at all.

Equip "Pain-Relieving Therapy"!

The Rebel activated "Pain-Relieving Therapy" on himself!

In just a dozen seconds, the Rebel had recovered from his serious injuries and could continue to fight!

This was the strategy Ren Suo had devised: the Self-harm Quick Kill Style!

It was only after seeing Lin Xianyu, who was frequently injured, that he suddenly recalled this unique method.

He had initially saved Lin Xianyu, Gu Yueyan, and Bai Ji from a crashing sports car using "Mage's Death-Defying Feather." Afterward, he had immediately treated his own injuries. Although it hurt at the time, there were no lingering effects.

So, even though "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" causes self-harm, as long as the Rebel heals immediately after killing an enemy, it shouldn't be a problem!

This tactic is completely feasible. After healing, the Rebel could immediately use this method again to kill other Pallbearers. This would ensure that neither he nor the Phantom Girl would be exposed.

The only minor issue is that when the Rebel uses the Self-harm Quick Kill Style, blood will spurt out, which isn't very visually appealing. But that doesn't matter.

After the Rebel killed a Pallbearer, his maximum Determination Value permanently increased by 20%. What does this indicate? It means the Rebel is happy; otherwise, why would his Determination Value increase? He must think that killing a Pallbearer is worth it, even if it means getting injured!

Ren Suo observed the screen closely. The Rebel, while receiving treatment, seemed to have his eyes closed and was grinning from ear to ear—look how happy he was!

Meanwhile, the Phantom Girl, hiding inside, also poked her head out and said, "Big brother, you're amazing!"

Just as Ren Suo was feeling delighted with the success of his strategy, three Pallbearers suddenly appeared in the conference venue!

Their names glowed blood-red above their heads, and they moved incredibly quickly toward the women's restroom where the Rebel was. They all activated Intimidation; like shepherds entering a flock, the people in their path parted like lambs making way for them.

Ren Suo sensed trouble. The Pallbearers no longer disguised their actions, moving swiftly. As three of them converged to surround him, he had no choice but to have the Rebel activate "Mage's Death-Defying Feather" to escape!

The Rebel's ultra-fast teleportation also caused the Pallbearers to pause momentarily, but they didn't pursue him. Instead, Pallbearer R entered the women's restroom to chase down the Phantom Girl.

Ah, right! One can flee the monk, but not the temple!

Ren Suo had no option but to have the Rebel attack Pallbearers W and E from behind. However, while fighting one Pallbearer was feasible, attacking two at once meant the Rebel was likely to be hit by the second one. He soon succumbed to serious injuries!

Moreover, with Pallbearers W and E guarding the door, Pallbearer R had already found the Phantom Girl!

Pallbearer R, upon seeing Pallbearer Q's corpse in the women's restroom, seemed enraged. His blood-red name overhead seemed to burn. When he spotted the Phantom Girl, he didn't exchange any words but simply killed her on the spot!

"Phantom Girl has been killed."

"Mission Failed."

"Your loss is worthless; it even makes me want to burst out laughing."

"Would you like to experience the pleasure before the pain again? (Requires 4 Merit Points)"

Can't I kill the Pallbearers...? Ren Suo frowned. Do they know if their comrades are alive or dead? If one dies, do the others abandon caution and resort to the most efficient and brutal methods...?

"Shameless! Fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Frustrated, Ren Suo restarted the game. This time, however, the Rebel suddenly acted on his own, purchasing a red coat from a shop in the conference venue.

The Rebel then became "Rebel - Red Clothing Painted Face Person." However, after he bought the coat, control returned to Ren Suo.

Ren Suo didn't quite understand why the Rebel had bought this coat. But when the Rebel started kiting and single-handedly pummeling Pallbearer Q, he immediately realized the brilliance of the red coat—after using "Mage's Death-Defying Feather," the blood spurting from his injuries didn't splash out but was entirely contained by the coat.

"Brilliant, just brilliant," Ren Suo couldn't help but exclaim. "Truly a game character with its own wisdom, learning from a previous demise and coming up with a solution all by itself!"
