Chapter 110: Love Welfare Center

"I just want to give my soul, someone to entrust it to, I heard a guy in the guild tell me that the souls of players who die in the game are reclaimed by the system."

He was quiet, "I don't want that."

[System Alert: Player Liu Huai's mention of soul trading involves a violation of the law, and will be automatically blocked and silenced during mini TV playback, please reduce the number of times player Liu Huai mentions it, or the system will consider blocking player Liu Huai's mini TV].

Liu Huai was quiet.

"Besides my soul, I have something else I can give you, Bai Liu." Liu Huai lifted her tear dried eyes, "This thing is more useful than my soul, after all, I'm going to die and my soul is just a piece of paper money to you, there's no way you can get anything of value out of me, but as long as you sign this with me, after I die, you can use my personal skill as you please, as if this personal skill was owned by you."

A very strange, yellowish parchment texture paper appeared in front of Liu Huai.

Like an unburnt ash, the paper fluttered down, Bai Liu reached for it, and the parchment fell into his hands.

Bai Liu looks up:

[Twenty-four relevant notices and explanations for Party A and Party B on the transfer of personal skills of players before death]

[Player A voluntarily transfers his or her Desire Derivative Personal Skill to Player B before death, and if Player B agrees to inherit Player A's Personal Skill, then Player B will also inherit Player A's Desire and become the bearer of Player A's Desire, fulfilling his or her Desire for him or her. ......]

[...... If Party B player already has a stronger desire to derive personal skills, due to the saturation of the player's desire, the signing of the agreement to obtain Party A player's personal skills of Party B player can not carry too much desire, to obtain the second skill will be reduced, if you continue to obtain the third skill, the use of the effect will be continued to be reduced, because Party B player using the If the transfer of personal skills is not effective, it is not due to the system, and we hope that the transferring players will understand ......].

[...... Before signing the agreement, Player A is obliged to inform Player B of the origin of his desire, and hopes that Player B will listen and think deeply before deciding whether or not to sign the agreement ......]

[The agreement is signed by the souls of both parties, and once it is signed, both parties may not repent before their souls are dimmed; the agreement involves desire and souls, and requires both parties to sign it voluntarily from the bottom of their hearts, and cannot be forced to sign it.]

[One copy of the agreement shall be signed and entered into the systems of both parties, and the original copy of the agreement shall be held by the impartial public agency system on behalf of the parties.]

[Party A: --]

[Party B: --]

After briefly browsing through it, Bai Liu looked to Liu Huai: "I can't sign it now, the system isn't on my side, and I can't enter it after signing it, and on all levels, your agreement is too restrictive for me, I need to inherit your desires, and the skills that I gained from you as my second skill aren't fully functional. "

As he said that, Bai Liu looked towards Liu Huai's severed arms, Liu Huai's pair of daggers were recalled by him and placed at his feet, the pure black reflective surface of the daggers had [Blood] engraved in relief.

Bai Liu paused, "But your skills are indeed interesting, indeed the most valuable thing you have left, but they don't work best on me."

"And your main purpose is to have me inherit your desires, right - to protect Liu Jiayi." Bai Liu said nonchalantly.

Liu Huai looked up at Bai Liu in horror, he had pulled out his bottom dollar, but Bai Liu showed no eagerness to get it, which made him a little panicked.

"You don't want this skill of mine?" Liu Huai asked, trembling.

"Nor would you not want it, your skills are useful, but not in me, this agreement has a better candidate than me, one who is more suited to your desires and more capable of utilizing your skills than I am." Bai Liu lifted his eyelids and looked directly at Liu Huai, "It is up to you if you wish to change the transferor."

Liu Huai asked, somewhat confused, "Who is it?"

Bai Liu said, "Mu Ke."

--------

Mu Ke crawls with a tanned face and gritted teeth from the bombed-out lower floors up to the upper floors, scalded by the still-hot concrete sections as he does so.

Mu Ke wasn't exactly the physical type due to his illness, and it took him a long time to climb something like this, but luckily the nurses were off rescuing half-dead patients who had been blown up, and he had plenty of time to make his way up.

He exerted all his strength and finally climbed up to the ninth floor where Bai Liu was, and as soon as he went up, Mu Ke frantically ran to the 906 ward, and fell a few times, with tears in his eyes, and when he saw Bai Liu, who had broken one of his hands, talking to Liu Huai with an unusual expression, Mu Ke could not hold back his tears and fell to his knees with a cry.

He was scared all night, and when he went down to call the nurse, he almost lost his soul when he saw the explosion on the ninth floor! Rolling and crawling desperately rushed up!

Luckily Bai Liu is fine!

Mu Ke wiped his tears while rubbing himself against Bai Liu: "You scared me to death!"

"Don't cry first, let's get down to business." Bai Liu squeezed Mu Ke's shoulder with that hand and turned him towards Liu Huai.

Tearful Mu Ke looked at Liu Huai who was scrutinizing him with a serious face in a bit of a daze, Liu Huai's gaze stared at Mu Ke a bit furtively and stopped his tears, he shrunk back a bit and his voice was much smaller: "...... What's the big deal? "

Bai Liu patted Mu Ke's shoulder: "Briefly introduce yourself, how old are you, what are the conditions of your family, how do you arrange for marriage and family in the future, how many children are you going to have, do you have any bad hobbies, what is your education level, and how many girlfriends and boyfriends have you had."

"??????" What the hell? Am I going on a blind date with this Liu Huai?

Mu Ke was getting more and more confused, but Bai Liu swept his eyes calmly at Mu Ke, signaling him to start.

Although Mu Ke was still confused, he still obediently introduced himself: "Oh, oh, my family's condition is not bad? I don't know much about it, I'll go back and ask for you if you need to know. I'm not really clear, you need to understand I go back to help you ask, I'm almost 21 this year, do not smoke or drink without any bad habits, the future of the marriage ...... this I have not thought about it, have not had a boyfriend girlfriend, the education, if the undergraduate degree, but miss the master's degree I can test at any time."

After saying that, Mu Ke looked at Bai Liu with a kind of begging gaze, making eyes and asking him - what the hell is going on here?

Bai Liu raised his chin, "Introduce yourself too, Liu Huai."

Liu Huai took a deep, deep breath as he looked at Mu Ke from top to bottom with a slightly critical eye: "The person I'm happy with in my heart isn't really you, I'd rather have Bai Liu, but there's no way he's not going to take it, and you look okay."

Mu Ke looks over at an unperturbed Bai Liu with a huge amount of information in his eyes - you've already had a round of blind dates with him? You don't want me to come?

Bai Liu handed the parchment to Mu Ke, signaling him to read it, Mu Ke lowered his head and read it, and when he raised his head again to look at Liu Huai, his eyes were full of complexity.

Is ...... this person trying to transfer his personal skills to him? Although he knew that Liu Huai's death was an irreconcilable certainty when Bai Liu set up the plan long ago, he didn't expect that ......

"I have a sister ......" Liu Huai rambled on for a while, reading something about Liu Jiayi to Mu Ke.

Bai Liu waited patiently for him to finish reading before he spoke, gazing at Liu Huai with an almost insightful gaze: "What is the core of your desire? Liu Huai, if you are going to allow Mu Ke to take on your life's desires and sister, you need to be honest with him about everything, otherwise I wouldn't have made it easy for him to sign this agreement, which is engraved within his soul, which is fully vested in me, and I need to be responsible for the soul in my hands."

"I need to know everything."

Liu Huai opened his mouth and closed it again.

[System prompt: Is player Liu Huai going to spend 200 points to buy sound canceling service?

[OK.]

[System prompt: Purchase successful, what you say in the next ten minutes will be muffled and cannot be heard by the small TV audience, so please start speaking freely without fear!

Liu Huai turned his head sideways and spoke dryly with reddened eyes, "...... Jiayi and I are half-siblings."

"...... Our home, in a very far away, very small and very remote countryside, you may not realize how remote this kind of countryside, after getting off the car, you have to wear tube rubber shoes to walk for one and a half hours, and even after heavy rain will be closed to the road, the road is full of mud, the people inside can not get out, the people outside can not come in. "

Liu Huai closed his eyes as he remembered the muddy, dark little countryside.

"I had a sister when I was a child, but then drowned in a weir on a rainy day, my dad stood next to that weir and waited for my sister to dig fish for him, he didn't go down to save my sister who was struggling in the mud, and I didn't understand why at that time.......My dad did send me to school though, but he other things don't care about anything, before it was my sister who raised me, then he occasionally raised me, my dad said my mom ran away a long time ago, and I don't know where she ran away to, I've never seen her."

Tears were streaming down Liu Huai's face, his eyes wandering and empty.

"I wanted to get out of that place so badly, and I studied hard, but I wasn't smart enough to do well."

"Then one day our village admitted a famous university student, my aunt's daughter, and the village gave a bonus of 20,000 yuan, which could have been an astronomical sum for us."

"From that day on my father changed, he never cared about my grades before, from then on he would ask my grades every day every day, as long as I didn't do well he started to beat me, scolding me with a red face saying that it's all my grandpa's seed, how come I can't beat my aunt's daughter as a man, she's a woman except for being able to get pregnant in the end what's better than I am as the root of the proper Liu family. ."

"But the harder he beat me, the more scared I got, my hand started shaking when I took a test with a pencil, my grades got worse and worse, he finally thought one day that I might actually be a loser, he gave up beating me, I was relieved, and I was so happy when he said he was going to get my cousin, the one who had gotten into the prestigious university to come tutor me for a couple of months. "

Liu Huai was quiet for a very, very long time, so long that Bai Liu thought that his story ended like this, but he suddenly bent his waist as if he couldn't accept it at all, took a deep breath through clenched teeth, and finally laughed miserably in a desolate manner:

"Do you know why Jiayi was born blind?"

Bai Liu understood, and he too was quiet for a few seconds, his gaze looking into the night sky, his tone light: "Many deformed children with birth defects are caused by inbreeding, and so is Liu Jiayi, isn't that right?"

Mu Ke suddenly realized the meaning of Bai Liu's words, his astonished gaze stopped on Liu Huai, and a goosebump arose on his back, "Holy shit ...... isn't it? So lawless? There is no one to control?"

Liu Huai was like a bone crushed by a cruel burden, his head hung down deeply, deeply.

Liu Huai's voice was hoarse and cracked, as if he had a piece of charcoal in his throat, and he cried and laughed as if in mockery:

"There will be no one to care, because it is too dirty, so dirty that no one wants to care, all the people who know about it as a scandal cover up, not be allowed to talk about it, cousin sister pregnant want to call the police to abort the baby, but my father said that her stomach must be a new college student, all sorts of trickery and rascals, and he is the Liu family's only son, in the coordination of my grandfather, and finally he got his way. "

Liu Huai's eyes closed, "...... And my cousin didn't get to go back and continue her college education a few months later, shortly after Jiayi's premature birth, she was like my sister, she went to dig for fish on her own and drowned in a weir, and my dad stood by the side of the weir and watched my cousin in the struggling in the mud and didn't bother to save her."

"I started studying like crazy, I got into a prestigious university, took the 20,000 dollars and ran away with Jiayi from that small countryside, but soon my father came to the door, he demanded that I give him money to support him, he tortured Jiayi, he tortured me, I spied on this man in the shadows millions of times, I couldn't bear to kill him with a knife but I didn't dare to, I couldn't bear to leave Jiayi. I couldn't let go of Jiayi."

Liu Huai choked, his tears smashed on the ground, repressed, muffled hissing and howling, like a stabbed but still do not dare to blatantly resist the cowardly beast, kneeling on the ground, head pointing on the ground, the tears wantonly collapsed flow.

Next to his head was the dagger engraved with [Blood], as if the sin that came with his blood had entered his desires and soul, turning him into an agonized fish that kept struggling in the mud but couldn't escape.

"You're like an assassin who wants to kill but doesn't dare to do it." Bai Liu lowered his eyes and commented calmly, "The last personal skills generated are all about chopping down a person's spirit value without bringing damage skills."

"Yes." Liu Huai's forehead propped up on the ground, his eyes open and lifeless, "...... I'm a cowardly assassin."

[System alert: Player Liu Huai's skill identity - (Cowardly Assassin) backstory line as well as carry desire has been activated, is it open to transfer personal skills?]

[Open]

Liu Huai slowly straightened up, he looked towards Mu Ke, his eyes misty with tears, "Can you live bravely for me, take my dagger and protect Liu Jiayi in this game? This is my only desire, do you have the will to bear it?"

Mu Ke glanced sideways at Bai Liu, somewhat bemused; he was not prepared to take on something so heavy, and he was subconsciously seeking Bai Liu's advice.

Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke with a very bland demeanor : "Mu Ke, if you are asking for my advice, then my attitude now is already very obvious, I suggest that you accept it, owning a skill is only beneficial to you and has no disadvantages, but whether you accept it or not is your own matter."

"Ability and desire are linked." Bai Liu says, "When you choose to pick up the dagger Liu Huai gave you, you are going to become an assassin just like him."

"...... Can I pick up your dagger and try it?" Mu Ke asked slightly more cautiously.

Liu Huai nodded in agreement.

Mu Ke looked at the two black daggers engraved with [Blood] lying on the ground, their surfaces flowing with a sheen like ominous forbidden black blood, Mu Ke reached out his hand to grip the hilts of the daggers, and he couldn't help but shudder the moment he entered his hand.

The hilts of the pair of daggers pulsed slightly in his palms, warm as if human veins and blood vessels were growing from his hands, and Mu Ke's weakened heart couldn't help but begin to beat sharply at the intense desire in the daggers, vibrant with life and hate as they traveled from the daggers all the way back down Mu Ke's palms and into his heart.

For a moment, Mu Ke felt as if he could feel all the turbulent resentments and extreme emotions in Liu Huai's life.

He stared blankly at the armless, wretched Liu Huai, whose face was covered with lumps of dirt, and whose breath was weak and dying, like a fish that hadn't been fished out of a dried-up weir.

The life of a struggling fish in the mud was something that a famous cat living in a crystal box would never understand, but at this moment Mu Ke and Liu Huai resonated with each other like never before, their weak hearts pounding at a frequency that seemed to jump out of their throats-

--They all just want to live.

Unfortunately not allowed by the world.

"I agree." Mu Ke clutched the dagger in his hand as he said in a raspy voice, "I'm going to inherit your skills as an assassin."

Liu Huai Head and eyelids drooped wearily, and his voice was as light as smoke, "...... Thank you."

[System Alert: Player Mu Ke and Player Liu Huai formally signed the "Agreement on Twenty-four Notices and Explanations on the Transfer of Personal Skills of Players before Death"]

[This agreement was formalized upon the death of player Liu Huai.]
