Rose Factory

Tang Er fights a frown of not-so-belief, "It's as simple as just you looking in a mirror? And you can become exactly like me?"

Su Yang looked up, he smiled and said, "It only needs to be that simple, nothing else - just a look in the mirror for me, and that's it."

Tang Er hit to look at another team member: "Su Yang, you are the auxiliary, the attack value is too low, as a bait you can not even hit a photo, you give the props to ......"

"No way captain." Su Yang looked straight at Tang Er hit, something seemed to be flickering in his eyes, but the smile on his face was real, "This prop is only used by me to look in the mirror and turn into you."

"I'm probably the only one in the world who can use this prop like this."

Tang Er Ta and Su Yang stared at each other, and Su Yang did not evade looking at Tang Er Ta - in fact, they both knew in their hearts right now that it did not matter who was going to be the other bait, and it did not matter if the attack value was high or not.

They are doomed to lose.

--The question is just who gets hit by the clown sniper.

Tang Er fights hoping he'll be the one who gets hit, and the other one, at least, won't be Su Yang.

Su Yang stood up, he straightened his back and saluted Tang Er, "Captain! Please let me be your lieutenant, supporting you until the last moment!"

Tang Er fought under Su Yang's frank and straightforward gaze, and he felt as if his meager selfishness had been seen through by Su Yang.

Just as he couldn't stop Su Yang from going to him bent on finding him and following him into the game in the first place, there's nothing he can do to stop this person from continuing to follow him - Su Yang has become another Tang Er fighter, just as he wanted to be.

They split in two, with the other team member backing them up from a distance, watching to see which decoy the Joker sniper would choose to take down - with two decoys, the Joker could only choose to roam around one, and would have to choose to take one down now, or else Tang Er's firepower would be reversed to put pressure on the roving circus.

Sure enough, the Joker soon made his choice, and at the sight of that peculiarly grinning face approaching him, Tang Er was even inwardly relieved - he had become the bait that the Joker was going to eat.

After a bit of a tussle, Tang Er hitting a crazy suicide attack causing the death of Wandering Circus Mu Ke, the serious injury of Mu Sicheng, and eating more than half of Bai Liu's bloodskin, the Clown Sniper finally seemed to have lost control.

After seeing Bai Liu's injuries, the Joker disobeyed Bai Liu's orders and instead of utilizing his skills as a deterrent, he raised his gun against Tang Er.

A kind of grayish flame of light converged into the shape of a skull at the muzzle of the gun- Tang Er hit realized that it was the other party unleashing their skills.

Soul shattering? Seems like a good ending too, Tang Er Fight thought out loud as he looked at that huge black hole of a gun.

He even gave a relaxed smile-at least for the next fifteen minutes, Su Yang and the other man were safe.

As long as the game is over in fifteen minutes, win or lose, they'll be fine - just -

Tang Er hit the second before he was hit by the bullet, ghostly thinking of Su Yang's drooping eyes whispering that she liked him, and for some reason, his heart thumped two times faster.

It's a good thing he didn't say yes, or else Su Yang would have been so sad when he died.

[System alert: Player Su Yang launches the skill Spades A playing card, the skill (telepathy heart) and player Tang Er hit for position exchange]

Tang Er hit may never be able to forget that next scene.

His kindness and integrity, even the vice-captain who stammered when he helped his teammates lie about being lazy and taking time off probably told him such an unseen lie in his entire life.

And such a lie has been remembered by Tang Er to this day.

That Heart's skill card wasn't a single one, but a pair, and Su Yang had decided long ago to block for the Joker, no matter which bait he chose - that's why Su Yang was so determined to come with him.

The white bone whip thrown from the back followed Su Yang, who had changed, and twitched left and right in a "z" shape, stopping Su Yang's escape route.

Bai Liu, after realizing that Joker had already sent out his skills, simply didn't waste them and reacted extremely fast to play this sniping match with Joker, as he threw off his bone whip and pulled Su Yang's neck, trapping her in place.

And just a second later, a silver bullet pierces Su Yang's temple.

Plasma explodes on Tang Er's face, who has not yet recovered.

Su Yang instantly shed the shell of Tang Er's fight, his eyes emptied and he changed back to his original form, collapsing to the ground.

He died too quickly, leaving nothing for Tang Er to fight, still squeezing the playing card with the skill released in his hand, and in the heart of the peach was the look of Tang Er's fight.

On the other end, the only other team member was surrounded by Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng.

Tang Er is the only one left on the field, frozen on his knees in front of Su Yang's body, and all the rest of the wandering circus crew are rushing this way - the winner has been decided.

But all Tang Er could think about was the voice of the exaggerated commentator before the match:

-- [Soul Rupture Gun! Who is more powerful, this gun or the Hunter's Revolver? Of course the only thing we can know is that the Soul Rupture Gun must be more painful, after all, those who are hit by the Soul Rupture Gun die with a grimace on their face, and at first glance it's like wow, the pain is excruciating! Being hit by a hunter's revolver doesn't produce that look!

Tang Er hit the line of sight slowly downward, he originally did not want to look at Su Yang's face, but at this moment, if he did not look at it again seems like it is not cost-effective, this is his vice-captain, so he looked at it.

Strangely enough, Su Yang didn't have a grimace on his face; he wore a peaceful smile, and with the whip's strangle marks on his neck, he looked as if he were happily lying in a pool of blood.

In that moment, Tang Er realized what Su Yang was thinking - the guy was thinking the same thing he was before he died.

Once I thought that another person could survive my death, I felt happiness for that, happiness that not even the deathly, soul-crushing agony could cover - because the other person, was the most important person in my heart.

[The fact that I can now stand with the captain is the greatest reward for me!]

[Captain! You took leave to go drinking again! You can't do this even if there's no heresy!

The captain is already thirty-six, right, why do not think of starting a family ah? ...... No thoughts of starting a family? == With this answer, no wonder you're the most pushed for marriage in the team every year ......]

Me? Why don't I have a family? ...... Probably because ...... the person I like doesn't have a family in mind either.]

It was at an end-of-year celebration for the Heresy Handling Bureau.

Tang Er hit a sip of wine and advised his overly innocent looking lieutenant rather bitterly, "This kind of person you give up while you're ahead, just hanging on to you, you're almost thirty and still haven't talked to you about marriage - more than likely a scum girl."

Drinking a little drunk Su Yang leaned against Tang Er hit, he squinted his eyes and smiled as if he was a small child who had eaten candy: "He did not hang me, just really ...... too slow."

Su Yang drunkenly hugged Tang Er beat: "But ...... it's okay, you can't get rid of me, I'll always, always ......"

His eyes drifted closed from drunkenness, "-and the ground waited."

On the borderline, Bai Liu with his wandering circus is ready to deliver the final blow to Tang Er, and the hunter finally raises his gun on himself at this very moment, wearing the same happy smile as Su Yang, who is lying on the ground.

Tang Er closed his eyes, murmuring as if he were speaking softly to Su Yang:

"Won't keep you waiting any longer."

[System Alert: Player Tang Er fight's Core Desire has changed - generating Derivative Attack Skill (Russian Spin)]

[System Tip: Player Tang Er's skill is locked to himself, because the target of skill locking already contains the player himself, it is forbidden to lock himself repeatedly, and the target of locking is automatically replaced by the player with the heaviest killing intent - player Bai Liu]

[System Alert: Carousel Begins Spinning ......]

The bullet passed through the hunter's head, dramatically hitting the enemy's captain, and the wandering circus exited the game en masse.

And Tang Er hit just absurdly won the game that cost him everything.

--A man's victory.

Those guys don't care about winning this game, that's why they can simply give up like that, they simply get the thrill of the game by toying with their opponents.

What was a grueling game for Tang Er was just a game of fun for the wandering circus.

The gods asked him what his wish was, and the hunter who had won everything looked up with a lax gaze and made a wish he couldn't stop:

I want everyone, especially Su Yang, to be able to live this game.

The gods inquired of him, [For this, will you pay any price?

Tang Er hit closed his eyes, tears dripping silently down his cheeks: [It's okay.]

Lying on the ground, Tang Er hit looked at the top of the corridor listlessly, his soul seemed to have drifted far, far away, and had to think for a long, long time before he could hear Bai Liu's words, before he could answer Bai Liu's words.

Bai Liu asked him, "Is there any point in saving these Su Yangs? The Su Yangs you wanted to save in the first place were not them, were they?"

"I know ......" Tang Er hit the dry lids of his mouth open and close, his tone choked and hoarse, "I know there's no way to save him anymore, but I'm just not willing, not willing once to be able to save you from Su Yang."

"Unwillingly every time you get to torture him!!!" Tang Er fights barely holding himself up from the ground, his face full of tears as he drops to his knees, holding up a vaguely silver gun aimed straight at Bai Liu.

This man's hands were shaking, his body was trembling, just now Liu Jiayi checked, Tang Er hit probably most of his brain had been blown off by himself, and now he was actually able to stand up and forcefully summon skills at Bai Liu - in every sense of the word, this guy's willpower was truly outstanding.

"Only if I'm still alive." Because most of his brain had been blown to pieces, Tang Er hit eyes had begun to gray, and now that he was mostly blind, he couldn't aim at Bai Liu at all, and could only shoot around like a headless fly, collapsing and hissing, "You'll just never be able to easily cross me to hurt any innocent people!"

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!"

Bai Liu stood up, he stood tall and calmly watched Tang Er hit his knees, stumbled and groped for a shot, and then collapsed in a spasm as he ran out of energy.

The gun fell a little in front of Tang Er Ta's finger, flickering and seemingly disappearing, but Tang Er Ta went around to touch it, but couldn't reach it.

A hunter without a gun, a wounded and trapped beast.

Bai Liu walked to Tang Er Ta's body, crouched down on one knee and picked up the gun and put it in Tang Er Ta's hand, then held Tang Er Ta's hand and raised the gun to his own forehead, his tone was nonchalant: "If you want to kill me, you can do it now."

A look of dismay appeared on Tang Er's face.

"I understand that you don't trust me, and I wouldn't trust you either, but from what I've learned, we should be two people on the same side." Bai Liu raised his eyes and typed his explanation to Tang Er in an organized manner, "I'm not sure about other world lines, at least this one right now, I have no extra interest in tormenting your lieutenant, someone set up a situation for you to force me to do what he thinks I should do."

"But not coincidentally, I'm a rather rebellious person, not quite willing to go along with others." Bai Liu flicked up his eyelids, "He wants you to kill me, or me to kill you, so instead I have to save you and settle this rose perfume thing, and see what he wants?"

"I can't believe you've been around so many world lines with me already, so you should already have a good idea of my skills, you may not trust me but you should at least believe in my dealings, reneging on a deal won't end well for me myself."

Bai Liu held out his hand to Tang Er hit, and he smiled, "How about you give me your soul and I'll help you fulfill your wish?"

Tang Er hit seems to be aware of Bai Liu's hand towards him, he barely held up half of his body, and opened Bai Liu's hand with all his strength.

Tang Er hit gasps and viciously drew his own gun back from Bai Liu's hand, re-aimed it at the spot where he had heard Bai Liu breathing, and said in a single word, "Bai Liu, do you think I'm going to believe you just because you say that? Yes, yes, the consequences of your trade skill violation are indeed severe, but you are not without a solution."

Bai Liu took a half step back with some regret - this guy really wasn't that easy to convince, too sharp.

As Tang Er hit said, Bai Liu did have a prepared scenario to deal with a failed trade, and he wasn't completely incapable of handling that kind of outcome - it did seem that Tang Er hit had been through Bai Liu's wringer so many times, that he had even predicted this kind of stuff.

Tang Er fights hard to lift most of his face, "looking" at Bai Liu with those grayish, dead blue eyes, the gun raised in his hand wobbling slightly, "I will never cooperate with a monster."

Bai Liu asked softly in return, "Captain Tang, why are you so sure that I am a monster, or a living heretic?"

"Do I look, do I look anything very different from normal?"

Tang Er hit a deep breath, leaning against the wall and panting laboriously twice before he could continue, "Of course it's not the same, you're just a monster in normal human skin, mixing in the lives of ordinary people!"

"In other worldlines, the Heresy Disposal Bureau distinguishes between living heretics, that is, monsters that look exactly like normal people on the outside, and normal living people, and will use a prop." Tang Er hit his face with a very twisted expression, "This prop is also familiar to you, it is the Mo Fei Theoretical Magic Mirror that you just used on me."

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow, "Really? That's the first time I've heard of the use of this mirror to distinguish between monsters and the living."

Tang Er fights, "This mirror allows a man to see what he fears most, and monsters have nothing to fear, for they have no emotions, no heart, and their souls are filled bodies of desire, knowing only to attack and plunder."

"We've done this test on you in almost every worldline except this one, and you've had nothing to fear in each of them, and when you stood in front of this mirror, there was nothing in it! Not even yourself!"

Tang Er hit a violent choking cough because of the emotional intensity of the speech.

His mouth was covered in bloody foam, and he slid down the wall, but the gun was still pointed at Bai Liu.

"Your water as a weakness is all something we've ripped out of your experience, but for you, water doesn't even get to the emotional level of being afraid of it, it's just annoying at best."

"The fact that you can remain unaffected by me making this cloister out of two mirrors is also because the mirrors don't work on you at all, right- Bai Liu, you monster who has no fear of anything."

"I will never make a deal with you." Said Tang Er fighting to pull the trigger again.

This time Bai Liu stood directly across from him, and instead of dodging, he moved even closer to Tang Er to fight, to the point where he was almost face-to-face with him, and reached out to grip the muzzle of his gun.

"There is oh." Bai Liu lowered his eyes, his lashes flickering imperceptibly, "Fear is something I have."

"Do you want to see it?"

Tang Er hit really stunned this time.

Meanwhile, Liu Jiayi, who was standing outside the door, took out the diary again and flipped through it with his head down.

Qi Yifang was stopped by Liu Jiayi outside the door, and now that she was looking at that journal again, she reached over to look at it with a bit of curiosity, "Little Witch, haven't you already read it once? Are there any more game clues in it?"

"No more." Liu Jiayi continued flipping without lifting her head, "Not the game, I'm determining the trajectory of that godly NPC's path."

Qi Yifang was in a daze again, "???"

What's this? What's with all this talk of godly npc's again?

Liu Jiayi's finger rests under the journal's handwriting, wrinkling her brow as she checks the idol's trajectory-

--appeared in a seaside town, then transshipped to an orphanage, and finally was purchased for this rose factory.

That's right, the walking path of this idol roughly matches the several games where god-ranked NPCs appear, and according to the narration in this journal, the order of precedence is "Serenity Town", "Love Welfare Center", and this "Rose Factory".

Liu Jiayi's complexion sank - but there was one place that didn't match up.

One more game where godlike NPCs appear - The Mirror City Bombing.

According to the trajectory path given by this journal, there was no way this idol could have made it onto the subway - at first the idol had been worn in a museum in some remote seaside town, then it had been transshipped directly to an orphanage via a van, and then it had all been purchased by this psychopathic generation of factory owners, cut up and buried in a field of roses.

That is, if the idol represented a god-level NPC, at the time of the subway bombing in Mirror City, the idol should have remained in the orphanage, and wouldn't have appeared on the subway at all.

According to the correspondence that a god statue appears in reality before a god-level NPC appears in the game, there shouldn't be a god-level NPC in Explosive Last Train either.

In other words, what appeared on the subway shouldn't be a real idol, or a god-ranked NPC, but simply a magic mirror.

Why is Bai Liu able to see godly npcs in the game through that mirror?

That mirror's ability, she remembers it as--

Liu Jiayi slammed the diary shut, and she looked back at the closed hallway with a stunned expression.

--She knew why Bai Liu was able to see the godly npc in the mirror of the bursting last train.

Bai Liu must have been afraid of the god level NPCs and then after gazing into the mirror, he saw the god level NPCs he was afraid of through the mirror's skill!

"That's not right." Liu Jiayi muttered strangely to herself as she rubbed her chin, "That guy Bai Liu, he doesn't look like he's afraid of a god level npc, huh? Then what is he afraid of, and why can he see God-level NPCs in the mirror?"

"If it's not fear of the god-level NPC itself, is it possible that it's fear of some state of the god-level NPC?"

Liu Jiayi held her head in her hands as she tried to recall what she had seen in the video: "I remember Bai Liu's video for 'Explosive Last Train', at the beginning of the video when she saw Taville, the other person was like floating in water, her hair was spread out, and then the look on her face was-- -"

Bai Liu in the corridor has a very restless emotion surging in his eyes, but strangely enough, his expression is incredibly calm, but Tang Er, who is approached by such a calm Bai Liu, has the illusion of being infected by Bai Liu's emotion without being able to control it.

Tang Er struck Bai Liu with a deep, unmistakable, negative emotion that he was very familiar with - it was the pain and fear that tore everything apart when he saw Su Yang's body.

With this strong similarity of emotions approaching, Tang Er fights and even can't help but want to step back to break away from Bai Liu's proximity.

But he was too weak, Bai Liu easily caught Tang Er Ta's chin with his right tiger's mouth, and held Tang Er Ta's muzzle with his left hand, then closed in on him forcefully.

Bai Liu whispered in Tang Er hit's ear as if he were whispering, his tone as careless as if he were telling a lie:

"Captain Don, there's something I'm really scared of."

"I grew up with the fear of seeing someone close their eyes in front of me and never open them again."
