Chapter 163: Rose Factory
Liu Jiayi also found something wrong, she tilted her head to look at Bai Liu holding his hand, frowned close, her voice lowered to ask: "I turned on a small TV space mute, you and I said something the audience can not hear, how come? I don't feel right, there are too many coincidences, it feels like ......"
"Someone designed this game to wait for Tang Er and I to fight our way in, didn't they?" Bai Liu spoke faintly.
Bai Liu's eyes still fell on the newspaper wall in the glass window: "Don't you think the last round of the game was also designed to wait for you and me? The game that has been logged in once is not supposed to happen again, but so coincidentally, your orphanage was withdrawn all the investment, and came to the end of the road, the director of the orphanage for the sake of the last interest had to take you the only remaining children again, and finally brought the matter to my face."
"And so coincidentally, Liu Huai was met by me within Exploding Last Train, which put him in my debt, and then because of the reality of what happened, he chased me into Love Welfare, and the game was designed just so that it separates you from him, and puts me on the same side of the fence as him."
Bai Liu looked at Lu Yizhan's agonized, black-and-white face on the newspaper with a motionless tone:
"Including Mu Sicheng in the second round, who also happened to meet Liu Huai-- Liu Huai is like a link between me and you guys, and at the same time is put into the game with me as your psychological weakness, and then I will naturally use your weakness to hold you back to my advantage, and then the conflict between us will be intensified, and you will choose to kill me and I will be forced to fight back to kill you. And then I will naturally use your weaknesses to hold you back so that I can gain advantage, and then the conflict between us will be intensified, and you will choose to kill me, and I will be forced to fight back to kill you."
"I generally seldom believe that there are so many deliberate coincidences in this world." Bai Liu drops his eyes to withdraw his gaze from the wall of newspapers.
Liu Jiayi murmured out of nowhere, "...... It's almost as if, someone deliberately created so many coincidences, dissected our weaknesses for you to exploit, and then made us kill each other ...... "
"But I didn't kill you guys, and you didn't kill me, and this game that the people behind it were playing on us went into a stalemate." Bai Liu's tone trailed off, "So this time, in order to aggravate the conflict between me and my opponents even more, this time, my weaknesses were lowered into the game as well."
"Your friend Lu Yizhan is also involved." Liu Jiayi quickly responded, "You'll definitely speed up the clearance for this, but only one player can be the factory leader through this game, so you'll have even more competition with that Captain Tang."
"Uh-huh." Bai Liu's attitude remained calm, "But the chips placed by the other side will probably drive Tang Er completely insane - the seventeen team members involved in that explosion just now, all of them members of the third team, were involved in the accident when Su Yang led the team to test that factory. "
"Tang Er fights hard to maintain sanity in such matters."
Bai Liu was quiet for a second, he didn't speak to Liu Jiayi, but to complicate the situation even more - in an alternate timeline, Tang Er fought to see with his own eyes that he had dominated the rose-colored explosion that had arguably pulled the world down.
This fundamentally let lead to, Tang Er hit in this game through, will certainly choose to kill Bai Liu, the culprit who may lead to the explosion, to eliminate all the tragic end of the recurrence.
Everything fits together tightly to form a trap that seems to have been built specifically to trap Bai Liu and Tang Er Ta, and the only way out of this trap is to kill Tang Er Ta, just as Tang Er Ta's only way out is to kill him.
The one who manipulates everything behind the scenes used Su Yang's death to make Tang Er Ta go out of control and become a monster hunter who has lost his bottom line, and now he is doing it again, using Lu Yizhan's death to induce Bai Liu to give up the principles and bottom line that Lu Yizhan built for Bai Liu with his own hands-- he is inducing Bai Liu to kill innocent people with his own hands again and again. -Time and time again, he is inducing Bai Liu to kill innocent people with his own hands, to become a crazy and sober monster like Tang Er fights.
This man is forcing him to become Bai Liu.
The workers continued to walk in, and through an extremely deep, depressing corridor passage, an office appeared in front of Bai Liu, and inside it was a classically dressed office, with a steward sipping rose tea and wearing glasses sitting behind a walnut desk.
The stewards were not wearing protective clothing, but more formal well-made suits, and it was clear that their status was a level higher than the workers who had brought Bai Liu and the others.
The man looked up and surveyed Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, a slowly blooming rose in the center of his eyes.
The rose in the eyes of this steward was fresh and delicate, obviously more vital than the dying rose in the eyes of the workers, and in proportion to this, the light rose fragrance of this steward, even in protective clothing, could be smelled by Bai Liu - this steward was like a fresh rose bud that was emitting a light fragrance - this steward was like a fresh The Steward was like a fresh rosebud that was emitting a light fragrance.
"You are the new workers?" The Steward put down his teacup and looked slightly arrogantly at Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, "You've come to the most famous rose factory in the world, you're doing the preparatory work for the world's finest perfume, I hope you take your work seriously."
With that, this steward took out two contracts from the drawer under the desk and pushed them to Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi across the table with his chin up.
"Here's our labor contract, sign it and get your work tags and you're off to work."
Bai Liu picked up the labor contract, flipped through it quickly, then put it down and looked at the steward with a meaningful look: "No working hours? Provide three meals a day and a place to stay for free? Salary billed in the perfume Wa Si, a dried rose leaf? No money?"
"Do you have any comments?" The Steward looked at Bai Liu contemptuously, "Nowadays, only the topmost companies in the world dare to use Dried Rose Leaf Wa Si as a paycheck to their employees, and ordinary people who can't buy Dried Rose Leaf Wa Si work their asses off to try to get into our factories just to get the perfume as a paycheck."
"Now feel free to go outside, you can trade the perfume for anything you want, food, houses, jewelry, gold, even beautiful men women and even the □□□ of any rare animal, the world is going crazy for dried rose leaves Wa Si right now."
The Steward slowly sipped a mouthful of rose tea, the roses in his eyes even more colorful, and the smile on his face carried an eerie smugness, "Because without perfume people wither, and money is just a pile of scrap paper that long ago ceased to be hard currency in this world."
"Rose is the one."
Bai Liu was quiet for a second and quickly bent down to sign the contract, Liu Jiayi also signed in silence, but the worker who had led them here was slow to leave, looking at the bottom of the rose tea cups that had already been cleaned by the steward with an extremely eager look.
The steward habitually tipped his own teacup downward, a drop of tea dripped onto the ground, and the worker who had led Bai Liu and the others over instantly dropped to his knees, bowing down like an undignified dog, greedily and avidly sticking his chapped tongue out from under his protective suit to lick the drop of tea that was about to evaporate on the ground.
The moment he licked the tea, the worker's black, cracked tongue was like a dry field that had been moisturized, writhing and contracting from a dry, cracked, petal-like shape to a normal, light pink tongue.
The Steward disgustedly kicked the worker's head away from his constant licking on the ground, "Be careful not to pollute the rose scent of my office with your stench."
The worker nodded his head with his hands lying on the ground, full of gratitude and joy for the favor he received, "Thank you, Steward, for this drop of tea! This is the most fragrant rose tea I have ever tasted! It's made from the dried rose flowers after the dried leaves Wa Si are extracted, right?"
The worker reveals his ecstasy as he presses deep breaths on the ground that has been cleaned by his tongue, "It tastes so ...... wonderful!"
Seemingly only knowing that he wouldn't be able to get any extra reward for staying here, the worker stood up fondly and glanced at the teacup, bowing extremely respectfully as he stepped back, "Steward, then I'll go ahead and take the two new flower pickers to work."
After saying this, the worker waved his hand at Bai Liu with extreme impatience, "Come with me!"
Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi followed the worker with their heads down as they took small steps all the way outside the factory.
The field of flowers at night is mysterious and delicate, bugs emitting blue luminescence dotting down on the budding flowers, the breeze sweeps between the petals, making the roses undulate and collide like ocean waves under the night, making a subtle scuffing sound, and the crimson wet soil refracts under the moonlight with a hue almost as if it had just been moistened by fresh blood.
The worker looked at them, "This is where you'll be working, the flower fields that our factory uses to cultivate dry leaf roses, there are sixteen thousand acres in total, one to two workers are in charge of one of the fields, and you'll be the ones in charge of picking the roses in this field."
"Late at night is when dry leaf roses are in full bloom, these roses are very sensitive to daylight, you need to pick as many of them as you can before they meet the first rays of sunrise and gather their petals - only dry wild roses at night can concoct the most beautifully pure and unadulterated scent. Dry leaf roses after sunrise have no fragrance."
The worker led Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi to the edge of the flower field, pointed to some small, simple tents tied side by side along the flower field aisle, and said, somewhat gloatingly, "See those small tents? The factory doesn't provide dormitories for you, the lowest level flower pickers, you have to live in these tents in the flower field, you can just take a look at them, the tents with no one living in them means that the flower pickers have been dismissed and turned into vagabonds, so you just have to go in to live there."
The narrow ridge between the flower field and the flower field was indeed stationed with a lot of simple and dirty style cloth tents, these tents were of different sizes, and it looked like they could allow at most three people to live at the same time, the tents were made of canvas, grayish blue, which was originally a material and color that was very resistant to dirt, but now it was full of splattered blood-colored dots and handprints on it.
I don't know if it's real blood or if these workers just wiped the dirt that got on them onto the tent by hand after they were done.
