Chapter 278: Dense Forest Borderland

After confirming that Bai Liu and Spades were going to join the army, Guy told them to wait for him and took them to fill out the registration form after he and Alex had finished their shifts.

Alex sorted through the collection of body parts in silence, his face a masked sadness - he was still new to the military, and it was hard for him to come to terms with such a parting of the ways of the living and the dead.

Spades' eyes had been on the body parts, and although he didn't show much expression, Bai Liu noticed the guy's incessant finger movements, revealing a stupid restlessness.

These collection of body parts are point missions, and Spades would probably love to get his hands on Alex's body parts.

But these bodies are Alex's comrades.

Bai Liu smiled and stepped on Spades without moving, and warned him in a low voice, "Taking the body parts will make Alex's favorability go down, don't you want to do the main plot quest with higher points?"

Spades hmmm's, slightly regretfully, and takes another look at the body parts.

Guy is also helping to sort out the body parts, but he's much better at it than Alex, sad, but still mentally stable.

Passing by Bai Liu and Spades, who were face-to-face with each other, Guy was able to laugh and tease, "Just waiting for us for a while before you both have to kiss each other? That's nice."

Bai Liu on Spades' feet: "......"

Spades asks inquisitively, "Why pro-?"

Bai Liu instantly covered Spades' mouth and turned his head with a smile on his face, "It's still hot with him, and it's hard for us to get alone like this in town avoiding other people."

Guy obviously understands the situation, and smiles understandingly, "You can go outside and be alone, and be safe - that's what Alex and I did when we were in the heat of the moment."

"If you're really going to enlist and get caught up in this war ......" Guy seemed to remember something that saddened him, and looked a little downcast, "then seize every opportunity to get along, such precious moments don't come come along very often."

So Spades and Bai Liu were kicked out of the tent by Guy.

The two men looked at each other in disbelief.

Spades hasn't forgotten that question just now, and rather persistently follows up with, "What's a pro?"

Bai Liu raised his hand to his forehead, pondered for a moment, decided not to dwell with Spades, and explained dryly, "...... A kiss is when one person's lips touch another person's skin, this is called a kiss."

"I know this." Spades' gaze traveled down to Bai Liu's lips, "I know that a kiss on the lips is the most special kind of kiss, called a smooch, and that it can only happen between a man and a woman who have a special relationship."

Bai Liu couldn't help but purse his lips a little at the sight of Spades landing on them, and he inclined his head, his lips pursed out in a very light pink color.

"Why do you ask if you know?"

Bai Liu s tone is a little annoyed, but because the voice is too light, it seems like this annoyance is not real, not like throwing a tantrum, but like a ...... quarrel, bringing out a little bit of a very different emotion.

Having said that, Bai Liu was quiet.

He realized this himself and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath to calm his mind and keep himself from letting Spades draw his emotions out to follow him.

When he was a kid, Bai Liu was always easy to be led by that guy's unconscious when he started to get along with Sheta, so how come it's been ten years since he encountered this guy, and he still can't do anything about it ......

Spades, oblivious to these thoughts of Bai Liu's, gave an oh-so-quiet explanation, "What I don't understand is why Guy thinks the two of us are kissing?"

"We two don't have any special male-female relationship, do we?" Spades' voice was calm and natural.

Bai Liu's breathing stopped for a moment, and he slowly opened his pure black eyes, all the mixed emotions in them draining away for a moment.

"Yes." Bai Liu's voice was laced with sparse laughter as he turned his head, his face impeccably placid, "We certainly don't have any special male-female relationship."

"But Guy, they misunderstood that we had a special relationship, which made it easier for them to feel close to us and easier for us to accomplish our mission."

Bai Liu looked up, "So we have to pretend in front of them that we have this special relationship."

Spades was quiet for a moment, a serious expression on his face as he seemed to be digesting and understanding the matter.

Bai Liu waits quietly for him, and Spades looks down at Bai Liu: "Kissing can happen between a man and a woman, can't it?"

"Yes." Bai Liu replied, "The same goes for special relationships that exist between males and males, and Guy and Alex are a pair of males who have such a special relationship."

Spades had an epiphany: "Is that the kind of special relationship we're trying to mimic?"

Bai Liu nods before he adds with a smile, "Of course, we don't have such a special relationship per se, we just need to act in front of the pair of NPCs and ask Mr. Spades and I to keep a social distance when we're not in front of them."

The smile on his face and his language hid an uncomfortable coldness, "Because I hate Mr. Spades, our positions are of a hostile nature, and would prefer that you stay away from me."

Spades paused and inexplicably said, "I don't hate you."

"I'm looking forward to playing you." Spades looked down at the tops of his dirty shoes, the whip in his hand flicking one way or the other, his tone light, "--You're the first player I've seen that isn't afraid of me."

"I kinda like you."

Bai Liu, who was about to pull away from Spades, paused for a moment, but he quickly smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "But I don't like you." and then took a step.

Spades stopped talking after an "oh".

They stood motionless across a fifty centimeter gap, both heads looking to the side, neither one ignoring the other.

Bai Liu idly mobilizes his system panel, Spades lowers his head to wipe the lines on his whip, these two people have felt as if the things on their hands suddenly grow flowers repeatedly checking them, anyway, they just don't look at each other.

Before entering the game, Bai Liu gave Tang Er a communication prop - a satellite phone.

Within the game pool, the replicas are in league mode, and everyone's system panel is cut off and blocked, the equivalent of a computer disconnected from the internet; there is no way for the system panel to be connected to the store, the forums, or another player.

Simply put, no one else has access to the "computer" except the player himself.

Even Bai Liu's Soul Banknote skill has been cut off from the "network", and the part of the system panel he can use has been greatly narrowed.

The Warehouse is a "networked" function, and Bai Liu, as a "computerized" visitor, is not allowed to use the Warehouse.

So all Bai Liu could use at the moment was simple functions like mobilizing panel values and using soul skills.

Bai Liu was unable to call the props in the warehouse and Tang Er hit them to communicate, in this case, the preparation of communication tools becomes very necessary.

Bai Liu has experimented with many kinds of communication props, and in the last copy, Bai Liu found a communication prop that is more stable in most copies and extreme maps - the satellite phone.

The satellite phone degraded as it entered this copy, turning it into a rather outdated big-bodied radio device that was harder to use.

But in this case of two parties not talking ......

Bai Liu feels there is no better time to use this device than now.

The good thing was that there were instructions on the device, and it wasn't really exactly the same as a large radio, but more similar to a degraded version of a cell phone, so it wasn't too difficult, and very soon Bai Liu was able to contact Tang Er 打 and Liu Jiayi, giving orders for them to enlist in the army, and then to meet him at the enrollment point.

Tang Er typed a reply that came over quickly: [I saw that someone had triggered the main plot quest, was it you?

Bai Liu swept a glance at the sneaky and indifferent Spades leaning towards him with his afterglow: [Spades and I in the killer sequence].

Tang Er typed: [You and Spades?If you and Spades both triggered the main plot mission of this army camp, then you should be on this side, so why would the rest of the Slayer Sequence voluntarily join the enemy army?

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow: [The rest of the Slayer Sequence has joined the enemy?

Tang Er typed: [Yes, I saw them wandering around the tent before they were intentionally spotted by the enemy army, and then quickly defected to the enemy after they were captured as enemy soldiers, so why would they join the enemy army to fight against Spades when Spades is on this side?

Bai Liu laughs softly: [Because now they're not teammates with Spades.]

Tang Er hit: [?

Bai Liu said something about going into more detail when the time comes at the enlistment point, and put away the device, turning his head to look slowly up at Spades, who was already plastered to his back, and smirked, "Looks like your teammates are determined to teach you a lesson."

"I'm guessing they found you hiding under the bed when they patrolled the tent, they just didn't point it out."

Spades corrects, "Found us hiding under the bed and you sleeping outside."

Bai Liu skimmed over the topic pretending not to have heard anything, "Judging from the way that tactician of yours chose his camp, he intentionally let you trigger the main npc quest here and then chose the enemy's camp - he wanted to make you lose this match by going head-to-head. "

"He tried to establish the majesty of a tactician in you." Bai Liu laughed sparingly, "It seems that that Inquisitor Against the Gods knows you well enough to know that you eat it up."

Spades looks at Bai Liu : "It's not very impressive for him to win against me with a team, I'm more of the type to eat a solo duel to win against me, I like you better ......"

Bai Liu stood up and patted his pants, calmly interrupting Spades, "Guy aren't they out yet?"

Spades turned around and swept the tent, "Almost out."

"We're the ones who are going to pretend to have a special relationship in front of them, aren't we?" Spades inquired, glancing at Bai Liu, who was still keeping his distance.

Bai Liu rolls his eyes, not seeming to care much about Spades, and gives a perfunctory hmmm.

The moment Guy opened the tent curtain and came out, Spades suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of Bai Liu's neck, forcefully turned him in front of him, and then pulled him into his arms, embraced Bai Liu's back who was taken by surprise, lifted his jaw, and without hesitation kissed him with downcast eyes.

His cold, dry lips imprinted on Bai Liu's warm bottom lip that he didn't know how many times it had been pursed.

Spades closed his eyes.

Bai Liu's pupils plummeted.
