QIU MING stared through the darkness at where Noctis stood. The blackness should have made it impossible to see, but thanks to the pair of glasses he'd found in his inventory earlier, the other player was as clear as day. He'd discovered them while planning his strategy earlier, and the moment he read their description, allowing him to see in darkness, a plan quickly formed in his mind.
If he didn't want Noctis to dive into the shadows, he just had to remove any source of light that could produce it. But before he could do any of that, he had to get YUN out of the way. Hence, that plan of trapping the other. It was a gamble that he was glad worked. It probably did because YUN was obviously hell-bent on attacking him.
The way the other didn't even think and just came straight for him said a lot. It showed YUN wanted to end this match as quickly as possible. Which meant Team Yunyue must have known he was the only one left on Team Celestials.
