Chapter 146: Dangerous Heterodoxy Bureau

--------

Meanwhile, the underground parking lot.

The door of the car next to Tang Er's parking space was slowly pushed open.

The three Mu Sicheng, who had been guarding the back, got out of the car, and they very quickly but surely walked to that elevator, and watched as the elevator, which had been rapidly descending after Tang Er had punched into it, finally stopped at the -4 position.

They look at each other, and Liu Jiayi swipes the elevator with Su Yang's work ID, then presses the -4 button.

Liu Jiayi's eyes were fixed on the red alarm that kept flashing in the elevator, Mu Sicheng's face was so dark that he could touch the ash, and Mu Ke was silent.

"Tsk." Mu Sicheng exhaled the breath he had been holding in his chest while listening to Tang Er fight and Bai Liu's conversation in the car, "Can I beat up this Tang guy later? "

"Did he say anything wrong?" Liu Jiayi nonchalantly asked in return.

Mu Sicheng was choked - in a way, this surname Tang did not say anything wrong ...... Bai Liu is a guy who is bad from head to toe, every strand of hair... ...

But it's just ...... pretty upsetting!

"But so what if he's right, I'm upset too." Liu Jiayi's eyes moved away from the siren, she wrinkled her nose, a rare touch of childishness on her face, "I'll do my best to buy you some time, and you can beat me up for my share of the upset as well."

Mu Sicheng was stunned for a moment, then hooked the corner of his mouth, "OK."

----------

Four floors underground, Bai Liu shuttles quickly between different passages.

On both sides of the passage are metal rooms with strange shapes and numbers written on them, all of them are similarly painted, and they occasionally make all kinds of weird noises, so if you walk inside for a long time, you will feel like you are walking in a labyrinth, and it is very difficult to go out by yourself without a map.

What's even more troubling is that there are patrolmen on every corner.

These patrollers, though few in number, are arranged in a very scientific way, which makes it impossible for Bai Liu to enter the game smoothly, and his entry into the game is always interrupted by these patrollers who suddenly turn around the corner.

This made Bai Liu realize that this patrol layout was probably designed by Tang Er to target [players].

With these ordinary people patrolling, it's hard for [Player] to enter the game easily.

Tang Er hit first used [magic space] to make a small cage for Bai Liu, and when Bai Liu escaped from this small cage, he would enter a larger mobile cage laid out by these patrolmen.

Bai Liu pressed himself against the wall as he regulated his breathing, ready to try one last time.

Bai Liu took out the coin on the hanging chain and prepared to enter the game, but as he was about to summon the system, a patrolman turned the corner at the other end of the passageway he was on, and Bai Liu had to put down the coin and turn around to enter another passageway.

Sure enough, the [patrollers] at these inflection points amounted to an interrupting device.

Bai Liu, while running briskly and quickly pursued by the patrolman behind him, glanced at the labels of the rooms to the right and left - 1097, 1096 ......

Bai Liu The room number of the escape was 006, and now it's up to a thousand, but he didn't see all the numbers for the whole process, and it feels like he took a shortcut straight to a certain room.

...... It was no illusion that the group of patrolmen were deliberately herding him toward a certain numbered room.

Bai Liu's footsteps stopped at yet another corner, his eyes resting at the end of the corridor as he was driven to a dead end.

The room at the end of the cul-de-sac is numbered [1087].

Tang Er, who was watching all this through the monitor, held up his communication device and gave the order cruelly, "All patrolmen put on your breathing masks, I will turn on the waterproof mode, then open the door to the room of the heresy [1087], name [Devouring Springs], it is about to go into the underwater mode, all the members of the team, please get ready- -"

"--3, 2--"

Bai Liu, the small windows of the metal doors on all four sides of the room clicked shut one after the other, the doors of each small room sunk and pushed outward to form the smooth metal walls of the corridor, and the patrolman across from him was putting on his own transparent respiratory mask, and the last beep of the countdown came over the comms -

"---1."

The door of [1087] behind Bai Liu was slowly opened.

The clear, unceasingly flowing water gushed out in rolls, and the rushing torrent and splash reflected in the eyes of Bai Liu, who turned back, and swept him away in an instant.

------

The elevator room.

The surveillance in the elevator was smashed by Mu Sicheng as soon as they came in.

Mu Sicheng was a bit tense, "There's surveillance inside this base, right? Eh, do we need to hide from the surveillance or something like that ah ......"

"There's no need to enter the base." Liu Jiayi's tone was indifferent, "Our purpose is to infiltrate and then take Bai Liu into the game in a quick battle, avoiding the surveillance will delay our speed, they can film if they like, I don't care."

Mu Ke quickly said, "I don't care either."

"...... fuck, but I still have to take the final exam ah ......" Mu Sicheng is a bit depressed, "Wanted can not take the exam in prison ah , I don't want to make up the exam ......"

Liu Jiayi acted as if he didn't hear Mu Sicheng's complaints and looked at the two, "Let's go over the plan again, we're not sure what's going on in there and we don't have a map, so in order to avoid being caught we're implementing a coordinate jumping mechanic, which means that you'll go into the game if someone tries to catch you."

"When you enter the game you get a logged in twelve digit coordinate number, when the three of us meet up at the same time we enter the game we exchange hazard coordinates with each other and then swap coordinates out and head for the original coordinates and rendezvous, that way we don't get separated and we get a path curve. "

"The three of us go in from three mutually perpendicular directions, which is equivalent to the z-axis, y-axis, and x-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate axis, we determine different coordinate points in different directions, and then connect with the original coordinate points, and after a few times, we will be able to restore a complete path curve."

Liu Jiayi gestured with his hand around between the three of them, "Buildings have rules, after we have the rough curve of this building, we can restore a rough map, got it?"

"I see." Mu Ke thinks for a second or two, "I have a good memory, I can help you restore the entire map with coordinate points."

Mu Sicheng with a wooden face, "......"

What the hell is this? He hasn't studied coordinate systems since he graduated from high school!

Liu Jiayi squinted at Mu Sicheng: "Did you not understand?"

Mu Sicheng depressedly bowed his head and admitted, "Well."

The elevator dinged on arrival.

Liu Jiayi turned around and calmly looked towards the elevator door, "It's okay if you don't understand, just follow my instructions and act."

She turned to the elevator doors that were opening and sank her voice into an order, "Prepare for an attack, the elevator doors are usually guarded. "

The elevator doors slowly opened and water rushed in, Liu Jiayi quickly climbed onto Mu Sicheng's shoulder to avoid being drowned, she frowned at the waves of water that rushed into the elevator and swayed.

The two patrolmen left at the elevator door poked their heads in, "Are you the members of the second detachment that was urgently drafted to catch Heretic 006? Remember to put on your breathing masks, it's being captured with water-"

Their eyes quickly landed on Liu Jiayi, a child who clearly shouldn't be here.

"You're not members of the crew-?!" The two patrolmen raised their comms in their hands in disbelief and prepared to report, "Report, someone has infiltrated-!" The fourth underground level of the base!

Before they could say anything, they were strangled and dragged in by Mu Sicheng and Mu Ke, who was hiding by the door, and put in dryly.

Mu Sicheng plucked the clothes and mask communicators off the two patrolmen and handed them to Mu Ke, who stood in the bobbing, half-submerged water and changed with difficulty, then put the two patrolmen in their own clothes and put them in the elevator.

Mu Ke pressed the -1 button and the two knocked-out patrolmen, dressed in his and Mu Sicheng's clothes, leaned deliriously against the elevator wall as the doors closed and rose.

A questioning voice came over the comm, "Hello? What's the deal with an intruder?!"

Mu Ke took the communicator handed to him by Mu Sicheng and then reported, "We found two unidentified intruders here at the elevator entrance, we immediately expelled them, and they're escaping on the elevator to the -1st floor!"

With that, Mu Ke turned off the communicator.

Mu Sicheng carried Liu Jiayi out of the elevator on his back, he shook off the water on his hands and wrinkled his eyebrows at the water that was already almost up to his shoulders, "What's with all this water? "

"There's going to be a change of plan." Liu Jiayi removed her own goggles, she looked cold: "Someone is using water to trap Bai Liu, I played a round of games with Bai Liu, he has a very special repulsion to water, I think it is very likely that someone is using water to torment Bai Liu to make him account for something, we have to hurry."

Mu Sicheng's face also changed as he looked over his shoulder at Liu Jiayi : "How fast? "

Liu Jiayi looked around the room as she looked at the gaps where the closed corridor doors fit into each other, "Someone modified this floor into a sealed environment and then released water to drown Bai Liu who was fleeing inside, but it also makes this four-way corridor environment very much like a sewer."

Liu Jiayi looks down and "watches" the shifting water: "Bai Liu should be near the outlets of these sewage pipes, so we can find him much faster, without using the more complicated coordinate system methods we used before."

"I see." Mu Ke responded quickly, "With water flow, right?"

Liu Jiayi nods, "Yes, with water flow."

"Not ......" Mu Sicheng mortified, interrupting the conversation between the two, "Can you occasionally say something that someone with an IQ of seventy-four can understand?"

Liu Jiayi said breathlessly, "It means that we can judge the location of the water outlet by the direction and sound of the water flow, and then find Bai Liu."

"How can you tell?" Mu Sicheng still didn't understand, "There's no way to pinpoint this, right? The water flow here looks chaotic, it's not like there's only one small stream. ......"

Liu Jiayi interrupted Mu Sicheng by handing him the goggles, "Hold them for me."

Mu Sicheng took it in a daze, then Liu Jiayi took a sharp breath and plunged into the water, in less than a second she floated up again, pointed in one direction, then turned her head to look slightly disgustedly in Mu Sicheng's direction, seemingly not wanting to spend more time explaining this to the simpleton.

"In the water I can determine the water position by the sound of the water and the direction of the current." Liu Jiayi made a follow me gesture, "as well as the position where you are standing because the water flow is blocked and forms a backflow around you, there will be sound, I can also rely on this to determine if there is anyone in front of me."

Mu Ke looked to Mu Sicheng, who compassionately added an explanation to the still slightly dazed Mu Sicheng, "It's like a fish recognizing the direction of the current by the somatosensory laterals in its abdomen."

Liu Jiayi nods, "Something like that."

"How do you even know how to do this?!" Mu Sicheng looked at Liu Jiayi, who was undulating in the water in disbelief, "Hey! This this is the real world! Are you a human or a monster? This is a superpower!"

Liu Jiayi did not reply to Mu Sicheng's words, but simply gave him a blank look, turned around and swam into the water as freely as a fish entering the water.

She would this one because she was born blind and her senses would be several levels more sensitive than normal.

Another is that she's quite used to surviving in the water like a fish.

As a child, Liu Jiayi was often thrown into a weir by her father to catch fish. In order to catch enough fish for the man to mercifully let her go, Liu Jiayi gradually evolved fish-like senses in order to chase after those cunning fish, which swim in holes in the mud.

She had always hated this ability she possessed, but this moment was the exception.

"Whoever made the decision to release the water. " Liu Jiayi touched her face as she shook off the droplets of water from her hands, her body sinking in the water, her tone calm and cold, "As he prepares to use this water thing to torture Bai Liu, it also makes it easier for me, the blind man, to use the water to find him. "

----------

"-148, 149, 150 - that'll do, drain."

The door to [1087]'s room closes, the walls on both sides of the hallway loosen, and water spills through the cracks in the walls.

Bai Liu chokes and coughs as he emerges from the water dislodged.

He dropped to his knees with his head bowed, arching his back and choking hard, his white shirt damp against his shivering shoulder blades.

Bai Liu skin color after soaking through the water will be through a kind of inorganic white, because of the lack of oxygen, his fingertips even flushed with bruises, his chest is also violently rising and falling, the three-minute-long asphyxiation experience has made him completely deflated.

Soon Bai Liu went limp, his mouth wide open and his eyes slack as he collapsed on his back, struggling with his lungs to clutch at the oxygen that didn't come so easily.

But it feels as if the oxygen is no longer getting into his lungs by breathing hard enough, and Bai Liu looks like he's going into shock.

"How does it feel to be in the water for three minutes? Still getting used to it?"

Tang Er hit's voice came unhurriedly from the communicator in the hand of the patrolman at the end of the corridor: "It is said that the person who holds his breath the longest in the world can hold it for thirteen minutes, do you want to try Bai Liu?"

"Does it bring back any bad memories?" Tang Er hit his voice low, "Have you figured out how you're going to account for the Rose Dried Leaf Wa Si scenario?"

"Death can not make you compromise at all, you are not afraid of death at all, so I will not threaten you with death, now give you two choices, the first one, after honestly explaining the solution of Rose Dried Leaf Wa Si, I will give you a sum of money to satisfy you, if you do not repent and honestly do what you have to do, we will not interfere with you again. "

"The second option, that is I'll lock you up with this [Devouring Fountain], I'll empty the water for you every minute and a half to three minutes, you can't die but you'll have to soak in the water all the time and all the time, you should be familiar with this suffocating sensation, shouldn't you?"

Tang Er hit a meaningless light laugh, the tone of his voice sank, "After all, back then, the director of the private orphanage, liked to educate you like this, you're too bad, you've been bad since you were a child, you've been bad in a bizarre way, she wanted to lead you back to the right path, so she often educated you like this."

"It's a pity that no matter how harshly she educated you, you didn't change much or show any expression, you as someone who naturally likes to torture others, Bai Liu, you should understand very well that educating such a child is very unfulfilling." Tang Er hit dragged out the trailing tone, he was calm as if he was giving a death row inmate a disciplinary job.

Bai Liu puts his arm over his eyes to shield them from the blinding white light of the overhead lights, and his breathing fades.

Tang Er hit continued, "So she switched it up a lot, and finally found the way you would struggle with the torture, and that was to make yourself-"

Tang Er's words were interrupted by the voice of a struggling Lu Yizhan, who was yelling at the top of his lungs, trying to drown out Tang Er's voice, not to let him continue: "Stop it! He has already forgotten! Don't let him remember!!!"

But Tang Er raised his voice and continued coldly, his voice was like a sharp thorn in Bai Liu's still blank and drowsy brain after he had suffocated.

Bai Liu frowned in a rare way, he subconsciously rejected what Tang Er was saying, and this rejection even made his head hurt as if it was going to crack.

"Have you forgotten everything, Bai Liu? No one pushed you into the water at all! It was you who kept burying your head in the water!"

"Because someone took the fall for the bad things you did, someone who took the punishment of that group of teachers to protect you, but that group of teachers missed the mark in punishing him, and he was tortured and drowned in the orphanage's pond as he was continually pressed under the water."

"His body was sinking under the water and you kept burying your head in to look at his body under the water, trying to pull him out."

Tang Er hit's tone sank to the bottom, "-- Bai Liu Why are you afraid of the water, you're not afraid of the water at all, you're afraid of seeing the body in the water, do you remember who he is? "

Lu Yizhan struggled with all his strength, trying to stop Tang Er from hitting, his voice tearing his heart out, "Don't tell him!!!"

Tang Er hit a low tone, "His original name was Sheta, but in this timeline, you forgot about him and thought of him as Lu Yizhan."

"Do you remember whether the face of the Sheta that you saw as you were drowning down there was there beside you to keep you company, or whether it was gazing at you from under the water! "

"Truly Sheta has died for you, remember that!"

Thanks ...... tower ......?

Bai Liu saw a dazzling white light amidst the suffocating feeling of near death.

The white light flashed through countless memories that Bai Liu had long ago intentionally or unintentionally avoided forgetting.

Memories turned into fragments strewn in the white light, broken like a torn picture book, scattered into pieces, black and white, or the edges of a colored page with the fragmented side view of another person he'd forgotten.

Then, in Tang Er's cold voice, these originally blurred or forgotten edges of memory were reassembled in Bai Liu's mind into complete, page after page of pictures, which then began to play back in front of his eyes, frame by frame, with the noise of the long ago years, just like the lanterns of a person's life before death.

A man's memory can deceive his master.

When you can't load the intense emotions carried inside the memory, the memory is kind enough to auto-correct, allowing the owner to pretend as if nothing has happened and move on calmly with a copy of the artifact.

In layman's terms, it's self-deception.

The memories are automatically cut into a shape acceptable to Bai Liu, stored in Bai Liu's brain, and will not easily change back to their original form until the last moment.

The face of the honest and simple Lu Yizhan was erased in the white light of long ago memories and turned into another face, Bai Liu's familiar and unfamiliar face.

The face was beautifully boned, but it always seemed to be let very long, with some curly hair hanging down to cover his eyes, but revealing lips still beautifully shaped and delicate, a very striking look.

He inclined his head from his forgotten memories to look at Bai Liu, calling his name softly, Bai Liu, long time no see.
