Chapter 268: Reality

The blush on Du Sanying's face gradually faded, he took two steps back cautiously and looked at Bai Liu with his back arched: "--Who the hell are you?"

Why do you know everything about him so well, if you're not a friend ......

"I used you once." Bai Liu was straight to the point without hesitation, "That's why you don't want to see me."

Bai Liu looked at Du Sanying horizontally: "But I didn't force you, you were voluntarily used by me, your luck and intuition told you that you should follow me, so you stood in line with me."

"Now what about your intuition?"

Du Sanying was stunned, as he slowly straightened up - the man was right.

His luck made him believe in Bai Liu , that's why he was so obedient in the beginning.

But why would the parrot tell him to leave the man?

Bai Liu faintly swept a glance at the parrot outside the window, "Do you know why you chose a parrot to record your memories?"

Du Sanying shook his head honestly.

His mind was blank now, and much of the time he was relying on a residual, luck-bringing premonition to do things.

Like people who go near him are bound to end up in a bad way, like believing what a parrot says.

And for example, this Bai Liu, he should follow him.

"Because in this world, you can't find a second way to record your memories." Bai Liu said calmly, "You're in a dangerous game, but you can always survive by your own luck, even if that luck sometimes hurts others."

"You rejected such memories so you emptied them once a week, but even then you had to continue to suffer to survive in this game."

Du Sanying can't help but ask, "Why? Can't I leave this game?"

"I can't." Bai Liu replied, "Because you still have unfulfilled desires."

Bai Liu looked up: "You want to make up for the people who were unfortunate because of your luck, you want to revive your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends who died because of you, you want to end this unfortunate luck, to undo all the misfortunes that were born because of you."

"And this game gives you hope and desire."

Du Sanying's hands were shaking involuntarily, and he shook his head unconsciously, trying to refute Bai Liu's words, but he opened his mouth, but could not utter a single word.

Because he doesn't remember anything.

Bai Liu continued, "You can't reveal this game to anyone, paper can't record information about the game, electronic devices can't save information about the game, even if you confide in someone about the game, his memory will be erased after seven seconds."

Du Sanying retorts, "But the parrot remembers the game, and it remembers you!"

"If I'm not wrong, this parrot should be a game prop that you won, in line with your core desires, and was placed by you in reality as a carrier of your memories." Bai Liu's gaze moved to the parrot, "- it was originally a creature from the game."

Mu Sicheng next to me realized, "That's why this parrot can remember things from the game."

Bai Liu extends his hand to Du Sanying, his attitude sincere, his dark eyes like mirrors reflecting Du Sanying's hesitation in its entirety.

Du Sanying's reflection, as clear as the pool downstairs, was a sight to behold.

"I may be a bad person." Bai Liu said softly, "But I've never harmed you, and more importantly-"

"-and you can't hurt me; my bad luck is inherent in me, far more than the misfortune you can bring. And luck, which you scoff at, is something I can only dream of."

Bai Liu gazes up at him and steps forward to approach Du Sanying.

Du Sanying was frozen in place, unable to back away from Bai Liu.

He saw Bai Liu's eyes as if wild cold winds and snow were twisting around them, there was melting broken ice floating around, and fire and strong acid hissed and smoked, misting Bai Liu's eyes.

Those clarity is fleeting, between the smoke, dust, snow and destruction, a figure emerges from the eyeballs, that disappears under Bai Liu's eyes, seems to be a beautiful memory that does not exist, floating in the light, far away with the wind.

Du Sanying felt like he saw ...... the man breaking his heart.

"I ask you, help me." Bai Liu said softly, "Use your luck to save the people who are important to me."

Du Sanying Quiet for a moment, he lowered his head and asked in a small voice, "...... If I go, can I really save people, not harm them?"

"No." Bai Liu looked at him and smiled lightly, "When a person's life is already unfortunate enough, the misfortune you bring to it may just be a way of presenting luck."

"To me, to the man I'm trying to save, and to the five escorts on the plane, you're not going to do them any harm."

Bai Liu drops his eyes, "Because they couldn't have come to a more unfortunate end."

Du Sanying gritted his teeth, he took a sharp deep breath and clutched Bai Liu's hand, "Okay, I'll go with you, what do I have to do to save them?"

Bai Liu quickly explained the situation to Du Sanying.

Du Sanying was a bit bewildered: "The plane is already over the South Pole and it's going to crash, what can I do?"

"You can be transported to this plane and use your luck to see if you can knock the plane down early to land in the ocean instead of on the ground, so as to mitigate the extent of the crash and try to preserve the people and items on the plane." Bai Liu said.

Du Sanying is frantic, "Teleport me to a plane that's going to crash?!"

Bai Liu held him down and calmly said, "I'm with you."

Du Sanying's face turned white with fear, but she still managed to maintain her composure, grasping Bai Liu's arm and asking weakly, "How, how do I teleport?"

Bai Liu's eyes stopped on the parrot on the balcony, "Utilizing game props."

Du Sanying entered the game about a year ago, right around the time of his family's accident, so it's a good assumption that the core desire that spurred Du Sanying to enter the game had something to do with the accident.

For example, the core desire to instantly teleport the entire family from the scene of a traffic accident or something like that.

And the parrot was a game prop that fit Du Sanying's core desires to be brought to reality, plus a calculated design by the people behind it ......

Bai Liu had good reason to suspect that the parrot's true function was to transmit props.

Tang Er fought and under Bai Liu's instruction pressed the parrot's wing roots and caught the parrot from outside the balcony.

The parrot hissed loudly with its neck outstretched and its wings fluttering, "Bai Liu! Bad! Bai Liu! Bad!"

Du Sanying, anxious and unable to resist, couldn't resist a weak reminder, "Be gentle, it's not comfortable."

Bai Liu takes the parrot from Tang Er and hands it to Du Sanying.

The parrot flew up to Du Sanying's shoulder, tilted its head and rubbed against him, blinked its green-bean eyes, moved its claws and pressed them against Du Sanying's ear, and muttered in a whisper as if it were whispering a secret: "Bai Liu, bad, run."

Du Sanying crying and laughing, he raised his hand and touched the parrot's head, hesitated for a moment and covered the parrot's eyes, "...... Using props won't hurt it, right?"

"No." Bai Liu looked at him, "But it will require you to figure out how to use the prop."

Du Sanying frowns bitterly, "...... But I really don't remember."

"It's obviously a voice-activated prop." Liu Jiayi prompts, "Did you design some sort of keyword for the parrot that uses it, like Bai Liu or something like that?"

When the parrot heard the word, it shook its wings again and toed its neck, calling out, "Bai Liu, bad-!!!"

Du Sanying calmly covered the parrot's beak, "Let me think."

"If you and your family were involved in a dramatic traffic accident, what keywords would you choose to teleport everyone out?" Liu Jiayi said.

Du Sanying looked up hesitantly, "A traffic accident?"

"Yes, a rather serious traffic accident, where the remains were searched for a week without being fully pieced together, as the remains of the passengers were all fused together from the burning gasoline and the violent crash, so bloody and indistinguishable." Bai Liu recounts with clarity.

Du Sanying s pupils contracted slightly as he ducked his head evasively and began nervously biting his fingernail caps, his voice trailing off, "It sounds ...... so serious."

Bai Liu : "You try to separate your family from the others and piece together their remains for a separate burial, but you can't do that, and neither can anyone else, and if it has to be done, it's going to take a lot of DNA identification."

"...... After the families of the final victims deliberated, a collective accident cemetery was established, and everyone was buried together, and on the day the victims were mourned, you in this accident became the center of attention as the only survivor of the accident."

Du Sanying's breathing is starting to catch.

"These families of the victims who came to the memorial asked how you survived, some cared for you, comforted you, many expressed their sympathy for you, relieved that you were lucky to be alive, and even two families who said they wanted to support you through college - because in their minds, you were a victim, too! , or the only one left."

"But you know you're not, you feel like the aggressor, you know their beloved ones died because of your luck."

"And they want to help you."

Du Sanying covered his head and kept shaking, his eyes lost in thought, as if he had been brought back to that scene by Bai Liu's words.

He kept apologizing mechanically, his eyes wide and unconsciously weeping:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

Bai Liu held Du Sanying's hands, forced him to look into his eyes, and continued cruelly, "--When you were buried in the collective cemetery, you disappeared, everyone was very worried about you and searched for you everywhere, and finally found out that you had actually buried yourself in the cemetery, but luckily that you were found again."

"Because a kid got greedy picking at the cemetery that hadn't been built yet and was killed directly by a falling monument, that's how everyone found you buried under the cemetery."

"That child is the child from one of the two families that expressed a desire to help you; his father died in the accident, and he was so fond of you that he called you brother, and that is why his mother took pity on you and tried to help you, not realizing that she had incurred such a doom for herself."

"Does he remind you of your sister?"

Du Sanying began to tremble all over as he struggled to draw back his hand, tears streaming down his face in large streams, almost as if he were wailing in misery, "-- Stop it!!!"

Instead of stopping mercifully, Bai Liu gazed closer into Du Sanying's tear-filled eyes:

"What were you screaming when you crawled out of the grave and hugged that child's body to your knees, and when you hugged the shattered bodies of your dead parents, sister, elder sister and brother at the scene of the accident?"

"Why did your memory malfunction after that and refuse to remember anything?"

Du Sanying slid down to his knees, unable to stop his tears, he tilted his head back and slid down his jaw, his voice was full of hoarse despair, so mournful that it was as if his heart and liver had been ripped out.

"Help! Somebody help them!!!"

"Let me die! Let them live!!!"

Du Sanying cried hoarsely as he arched his back and bent his body, his head hanging low as tears hit the ground one by one.

"--I don't want to live fortunately, let me die unfortunately."

The parrot's crown of hair towered as it quoted, "--Let me die an unfortunate death!!!"

A dazzling white light descended on Du Sanying's shoulders, enveloping him and Bai Liu.

After the white light, the two disappeared into thin air.
