Rose Factory

Tang Er hit's breath stopped for a split second, he remembered - when Bai Liu shattered the mirror in the Explosive Last Train video, the god-level NPC inside the mirror with his eyes closed.

Wasn't that one originally in the copy, but was mapped because of Bai Liu's fear?

Bai Liu ruffled the plasma-coagulated hair around Tang Erda's ears so that Tang Erda couldn't break free and leaned on his shoulder, then whispered, "Do you want to face my fear?"

Saying that, Bai Liu's hand slowly moved upward, a huge mirror glittering with diamond light appeared in front of him, the ripples in the mirror surged layer by layer, as if something was going to float out from it in the next second.

"Don't--!" Tang Er Ta wanted to turn his head in a mess, he didn't want to see the mirror again, and he was too close to Bai Liu, turning his head right into the nest of Bai Liu's shoulder - it was a kind of relying position, which made Tang Er Ta, who wasn't used to relying on anyone, subconsciously wanted to put his head out of Bai Liu's shoulder nest. It was a somewhat dependent position, which made Tang Er subconsciously try to pull his head out of Bai Liu's shoulder pocket.

"It's okay." Bai Liu's tone was unprecedentedly gentle, his fingers slipped through the bloodstained hair at the back of Tang Er's head, kneading and parting it soothingly as if he were calming a large, restless pet dog, "I'm the one who's going to use the mirror this time, so your Su Yang is going to be fine."

The weakened Tang Erda stopped struggling in a trance under Bai Liu's soothing touch, who gently turned his Tang Erda's face and lifted his chin to face the mirror - Tang Erda's pupils crinkled the moment he saw what was going on in the mirror.

--He saw a man, a child drowned countless times in the water, blocked up in a marble sculpture to be viewed, saw this child bound with blood drawn and covered with needle holes, saw this man crushed and cut up, brutally mutilated and his beating heart ripped out, put in a factory room to be poured with scalding hot liquid.

The perfume pumped into the heart like blood, forcing it to beat spasmodically under the pain-that heart he had seen in the factory room was actually ......

Such a brutal scene exceeded Tang Er's tolerance level for fighting, and he couldn't help but shudder and dry-heave, turning his face sideways to try to escape the scene.

He thought he had appreciated the limits of torture for the living, but he never knew that the torture could still stop even after death.

Bai Liu did not allow Tang Er to turn his head, but forcefully held his head in his hands, forcing him to look squarely at the scene in the mirror.

"You see, we're the same." Bai Liu whispered next to Tang Er, who had a blank expression on his face as he fought, "We're both terrified, angry, and uncontrollably empathetic because of someone's torment."

"I can feel other people's pain." Bai Liu lowered his eyes as he dropped to both knees and leaned forward slightly, at the moment Tang Er hit back to avoid it, Bai Liu embraced Tang Er hit unexpectedly hard, "I know you are in great pain, as much pain as I am, Captain Tang."

"Please believe me, I won't cause you more pain, let all the pain that the old me caused stop here."

"While I'm not one of those Bai Liu, I know you probably want to hear me say those three words to you - I'm sorry, as well as it's been hard on you." Bai Liu patted him on the shoulder.

The embraced Tang Er hit stunned, unbelievably raised his head, tears could not stop slipping from his gray-blue eyes.

Bai Liu ...... No, Bai Liu apologized to him?

Taville in the mirror raised his eyes, silver-blue eyes like ice crystals melting in the daylight, and Tang Er was dazzled by them, a white light appearing in front of his forehead that made him want to faint.

The white light spread far, far away, like an aurora borealis floating in front of Tang Er 打's eyes, he seemed to become lighter in an instant, floating up in the light, he saw Su Yang's smiling face in the light, that person stood in front of him, stubbornly, persistently questioning him:

"Captain, why are you so insistent on convicting Bai Liu? Obviously there's no evidence yet, isn't there?"

He seemed to have said something that angered Su Yang, who had never been so angry, and he yelled at him, "Captain, if we act purely on our emotions and desires, what's the difference between us and those heretics!"

"No matter what, always use your eyes and evidence to determine whether this person is a monster or a human being!"

After yelling, Su Yang lowered her head a bit helplessly.

He seemed to be trying to leave, but he was stopped by Su Yang, and the two of them were frozen like that in the narrow aisle of the Heresy Processing Bureau, and then after a stalemate for an unknown period of time, Su Yang suddenly took a deep breath and lifted her head:

"If one day the captain really can't hold out and gets contaminated like everyone else."

"I will get you back."

Su Yang smiled as if he hadn't lost his temper with him, and he took a step forward and seemed to open his lips to say something softly, "--"

Bai Liu's eyes drooped as he whispered on the side of Tang Er's beaten head, "--"

The two men's voices blended and overlapped indistinguishably in Tang Er hit's ears, "Captain Tang Captain, if it's really that insistent that you can't go on, just leave the rest to me."

Bai Liu embraced Tang Er's head and softly complained, "Give me your wish, give me your soul, give me your pain, and let me, who was originally the culprit, bear it all for you, which is what I should do."

Dying, breathing weakly, half of the face is not Tang Er leaning on Bai Liu's shoulder, as if his soul has been drained out of his eyes to look upward, his hands do not land on the ground with no force at all, no reaction at all.

After an unknown period of time, a tear dripped down Tang Er's jaw, his fingers moved, his arm was extremely slow, laborious, struggling to raise, he seemed to be dying the next moment as painfully back to embrace Bai Liu, choking through gritted teeth:

"Bai Liu, this is the last time, the last time I trust a deal with you."

A soothing smile appeared on Bai Liu's face, "You won't regret it."

Tang Er hit closed his eyes, "I'll give you my soul in exchange for granting me my wish."

Bai Liu smiled, "I've already left you the money, so I won't pay more."

Tang Er struck a chord, before realizing that Bai Liu was talking about the roomful of dimes the man had left behind in order to escape during the Dangerous Heretics Treatment Bureau.

While speechless, Tang Er hit finally relaxed, he looked far, far away, not knowing what he thought of, a thin smile appeared on his face, and his tone fluttered:

"You're still ...... as stingy as ever."

"I hope you don't mind this little habit of mine too much, after all it looks like-" Bai Liu held up a soulful bill with Tang Er's typed head on it, smiling and raising an eyebrow, "- -We should be working together for a long time."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu used RMB *@&@ (complicated quantity, being calculated) to purchase the soul played by player Tang Er]

----------

Shrine.

The Hunter card on the table levitated and turned face up the moment Tang Er hit agree to the deal, changing from the weeping hunter to a werewolf hooded, fierce-eyed hunter, and drifting away from the Seer's side and toward the Hooded Man's side.

The man in the hood held the card that floated over to him with two fingers as he looked across the room at the seer, his tone was smirking, "Your last devisable god card, Hunter, also switched sides to become a werewolf card, so now what are you going to do about it?"

The seer's gaze stopped motionless on the werewolf card, "The game isn't over yet."

The hooded man looked at the rose card he had devolved with a smirk, "Soon."

"All the clues have been assembled, and Bai Liu won't let this game go on for long."

----------

Bai Liu came out of the hallway and Liu Jiayi looked down at the clock, "Sixteen minutes, you got that fool taken care of?"

"Okay." Bai Liu straightened his shirt and cuffs, which were covered in blood stains from holding Tang Er's beating, but fortunately he didn't care much.

He turned to Liu Jiayi : "Go in and treat him."

Liu Jiayi rolled her eyes and walked in holding up the two vials of antidote, "Not that you mind much what he did."

"If I minded this in the first place I'd have a problem with you." Bai Liu smiles and locks eyes with Liu Jiayi for a moment, "Obviously I'm not like that, it's not in line with my principle of maximizing the benefits of my dealings."

Liu Jiayi silently withdrew his line of sight and honestly carried the antidote inside.

Bai Liu added, "We'll need him to fight the monsters in the Riworld later on, so try to let him recover completely - he's my personal property now, and I don't really want to see him fighting for me in an injured state."

"I know!" Liu Jiayi waved her hand impatiently.

Qi Yifang watched in amazement as Bai Liu naturally called on the little witch -- the little witch was on the same level as Queen Heart in the King's Guild, and her status was so supreme and honorable that even the Queen wouldn't call on the little witch as if she were a soldier.

Bai Liu also saw Qi Yifang and nodded to him without the slightest bit of avoidance, and also hypocritically reached out and shook Qi Yifang's hand, opening his mouth with, "I really like your skills, have a chance to jump ship and come play on our team."

Qi Yifang: "......"

What a fucking opener!

Bai Liu's overly frank and shameless attitude instead began to make Qi Yifang suspect that this person is not just joking with him, just as Qi Yifang suspiciously thinking about the meaning of Bai Liu's words, Tang Er hit after Liu Jiayi's back came out.

Captain Tang, who had just switched sides, obviously wasn't too comfortable, and wanted to draw his gun as soon as he saw Bai Liu, but quickly recalled that he'd just been saved by the little witch Bai Liu had sent over in Liu Jiayi's ghoulish chest-clutching grunt, and withdrew his gun in some haste.

Tang Er hit looked at Liu Jiayi who was looking him up and down with an extremely mean look, and Bai Liu who was standing next to him, all uncomfortable - these people used to be the real deal, they were his enemies, the kind who fought to the death!

Let's not talk about the distant ones, but let's talk about the close ones, just before entering the game, he almost killed Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi with a single shot.

Tang Er, who had just finished trading with Bai Liu for ten minutes, was already regretting it - he felt that he must have gotten his brain mesmerized by something ten minutes ago, or Bai Liu had used some kind of prop to hypnotize him.

He must be out of his mind to make the choice to trade his soul with Bai Liu!

Tang Er Ta was secretly regretting his impulsive spending (?) when Bai Liu suddenly extended his hand to him. When Bai Liu suddenly stretched out his hand to him, Tang Er Ta, who had a first-class alert and reflex to Bai Liu, subconsciously drew out his gun and pointed it at him again.

Bai Liu, who was clearly reaching out for friendship, and Tang Er, whose eyes were sternly drawn, were hitting him.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant for a moment, Liu Jiayi held the bottle of poison with an impish expression, "Bai Liu, are you sure you've conditioned this guy?"

"He doesn't trust me much." Bai Liu shrugged as he indifferently continued to take a step forward, parting Tang Er 打's gun with no fear at all, taking Tang Er 打's other hand, which was clenched into a fist close to his side, and lifting it up to shake it before smiling at Tang Er 打, "It's okay, I trust your abilities just fine."

Bai Liu moves like a patient owner teaching a hand shake to a dog that is new to a place and still wary.

Tang Er fought slowly lowered his gun because he was a bit overwhelmed by the action of pulling it out, and stared at Bai Liu for a moment, his eyes still wary, but still tentatively shook Bai Liu's hand back.

It's like a big wolf dog that's just been tamed, tucked in its fangs and dropped its tail and ears.

Bai Liu The smile on his face deepened considerably.

Not too smart, but it does fool well, which is a plus.
