The second round of the match officially began, and it was already in the Ban/Pick (BP) phase.
Just after the director's camera switched to the battle rooms of both sides, the audience were all surprised.
Sitting in the captain's seat in Junchen's battle room was not Xiyou, but a strange man.
This man had no combat records before, so people were actually not familiar with him. They didn't even know his combat style and achievements. They only saw an introduction beside the screen when the director was showing.
His name was Tian Feng.
Commentator Pingzi: "This guy seems to be their secret weapon. I've never seen any of his combat records."
Commentator Huahua: "Let's wait and see, audience. There's a 30 - second countdown left. After the countdown ends, the second round will officially start. The current score between the two sides is 1 - 1!"
Qin Chengyao frowned even tighter when he saw the opponent's name.
Ji Siyue walked in and decided to help them with the BP.
"I'll help you choose the characters this round."
Qin Chengyao just shook his head and said, "No need. We know this guy. We know how to deal with him."
"Do you know this guy?"
At the same time, Ji Siyue also looked at the faces of the others.
Except for Xing Xing, who looked blank, the expressions of the other four were not very good.
It was only then that Ji Siyue finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
It seemed that they had encountered a strong opponent this time.
"Is this guy very strong?"
Bai Yu replied, "Not necessarily. We don't even know what role the person operating this account plays."
"Then why do you think you're familiar with this guy?"
"There's a top - level silver weapon on this account... I made it for this account myself. This account can only play the White Robe class, as there are no other suitable weapons. The original owner of this account was the person who participated in the competition with us in the first season... Later, that person died, and the account was taken away by her family."
"So you didn't expect this account to appear on Junchen's side, right?"
Qin Chengyao nodded. "You can go out first. I'll take control this round."
Ji Siyue: "Okay."
Before leaving, Ji Siyue turned back and took a deep look at that person.
His back looked very tense, with an indescribable sense of sadness.
After Ji Siyue returned to the spectator room, she immediately took out her phone to search for information about this account.
There was very little information available on Weibo. She only knew that this account once belonged to a woman. Ji Siyue clicked on a video of a competition from a few years ago. Four tall men were surrounding a short woman in the middle. They seemed to hug happily and then walked out of the competition room together.
They won the championship at that time, but not long after, they were separated by death.
For some reason, when Ji Siyue saw Qin Chengyao about to hug that short woman, she felt uncomfortable.
That person... that account had once fought side by side with Qin Chengyao, but now it had become an opponent. Moreover, the silver weapon on that account was designed by Qin Chengyao himself, so its strength must not be bad.
It was not ruled out that the opponent suddenly brought out this account in an attempt to use a psychological strategy.
Ji Siyue stared nervously at the live - broadcast screen and secretly said to herself in her heart - don't be affected by these people.
Definitely not!
In the battle room.
Qin Chengyao: "We'll still use the regular lineup this round. I'll play the White Robe, Xing Xing the Summoner, Zhu Zhiyao the Gunfighter, Nangong Qi the Ghost, and Bai Yu choose the Border Defense Tactician."
Everyone: "Yes!"
Their side had already chosen their lineup and was just waiting for the last person, Tian Feng, to choose his character class.
At this moment, Ji Siyue suddenly received a mysterious phone call.
"You'll regret what you've done today."
After hearing this voice, Ji Siyue couldn't help but frown.
Was this some new type of prank? Why did the voice on the phone sound so childish?
Ji Siyue ignored it and hung up the phone directly.
But not long after, the phone rang again.
"Want to know something about Tian Feng?" the gender - ambiguous voice on the phone said again.
This time, Ji Siyue was finally intrigued.
"Who are you?"
"If you want to know who I am, come outside the venue."
Although Ji Siyue hesitated, after some thought, she still walked outside.
Bai He grabbed Ji Siyue's arm. "Where are you going? Who called you? You look so strange."
He wasn't usually a talkative person, but he was quite sensitive and naturally very aware of the emotional changes of those around him.
Ji Siyue shook her head indifferently. "I'll go out to meet someone and come back right away. You guys wait here. Don't worry. I'll be fine."
Lan Du still wasn't at ease. He stood up and said, "Or I'll go with you."
"No need. I can handle it myself."
With that, Ji Siyue turned around and left.
Ji Siyue walked with the venue's work pass. Although she encountered some reporters who wanted to interview her on the way, she rejected them one by one.
After walking in the direction the person had pointed out for a while, she found that there were fewer and fewer people around. There were no more staff or banners.
"Strange. Is this the wrong place?"
"This is the right place."
A voice suddenly came from behind, which startled Ji Siyue.
Just as Ji Siyue was about to turn around to look, a white handkerchief suddenly covered her face and was pressed against her nose.
"No good!"
Ji Siyue almost instantly thought this in her heart, but she was no match for this person in terms of strength, and she still had a wound on her leg. After a brief struggle of just a few seconds, she completely lost consciousness.
...
Commentator Pingzi: "Good! As you can see, this round also features the regular lineup. The [Ghost] is constantly looking for opportunities to take out the opponent's carry, but the opponent is very vigilant. He can't do it and can only keep lingering on the edge of the map."
Commentator Huahua: "There are two White Robes in this round. Although one is an Elf White Robe and the other is a Witchcraft White Robe, their healing and damage output are about the same. It seems that both sides have mastered the White Robe class to perfection!"
Commentator Pingzi: "Nice! The [Ghost] used his ultimate move and flew over, successfully reducing half of the opponent's side - defender's health."
Commentator Huahua: "But it's useless. The Witchcraft White Robe on the opponent's side has a very large healing amount. It won't take two minutes to heal the player back."
Sure enough, the little bit of health they had just painstakingly whittled away was instantly healed back.
In the GH battle room.
Nangong Qi flexed his wrists. "Damn it. What on earth are they up to? Just like in the last round, they're not attacking. Are they waiting to spot our weaknesses?"
