Chapter 316: Game Pool
"I won't ask any more questions, no one can get anything out of you that you don't want to say." Liao Ke stopped the conversation as he pulled out a roll of bandages, "It's always okay to treat your wounds, right?"
"Yes, yes, of course!" The Reverse God smiled and joked again, "Brother Liao is willing to take care of me, that's my honor."
"Don't be poor, turn around and take off your clothes." Liao Ke said.
The Adversary grimaced as he stripped off his clothes, exposing his naked and toned upper body, which was crisscrossed with whip marks from the back of his shoulders down to his chest, the wounds open to the flesh and the blood was still seeping out.
"I see that both you and Spades have some pain nerve abnormalities." Liao Ke sighed, "You two have such serious injuries, but you can't tell from the surface."
Liao Ke wraps bandage after bandage around the back, eventually covering almost the entire back.
Spades is no better than the Adversary, almost mummified.
After finishing, Liao Ke carried his own medical kit and was about to leave, after pushing open the door to leave, Liao Ke paused, turned his head to look at the reverse god sitting on the floor guarding Spades who had not yet woken up, sighed a long breath full of complexity and called out.
"Adversary."
The Adversary turned his head with a grin, "What's wrong?"
Liao Ke looked at him, "If you just die, your younger siblings will definitely remarry."
"Hey!!!" Reverse God's face cracked as he watched Liao Ke push the door open and leave, "It's hard for me to get married, don't just make jokes like that!"
Liao Ke waved the door closed, and a voice with a smirk came from behind it, "Try to stay alive if you don't want your wife to remarry, Captain."
The Adversary leaned against the wall, laughed suddenly, stumbled up against the wall, grabbed the cigarette case on the desktop, put on his jacket and pushed open the balcony of the conference room.
The Adversary leaned against the balcony fence and took a cigarette in his mouth without lighting it.
His eyes looked away, at the game, and there was a very light breeze blowing through his hair and the jacket hanging off his shoulders.
There is no natural wind in the halls of the system, but the movement of people can sometimes cause air to flow and give the illusion of wind.
The Adversary was quiet for a moment, eventually pulling a lighter out of his pocket, covering the cigarette and lighting it.
The wavering flames of the lighter reflected the Reverend God's ordinary brow in a serene and gentle way, the point of the cigarette flickered as it was inhaled, and the Reverend God exhaled a puff of smoke, the rising, lurid white smoke quickly masking the serenity and gentleness, leaving only a hazy, yet intensely sinking sensation.
The door to the balcony behind the Reverse God was pushed open at some point, and Spades, wrapped up like a mummy, walked shakily and leaned in next to the Reverse God.
Inverse God subconsciously tried to put out his cigarette.
Spades interrupts Retrograde's movements with a voice, he looks sideways at Retrograde, "Smoke, what's that smell?"
"Why are you suddenly curious about this?" The Reverse God found it funny, "Weren't you never interested before?"
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the Reverse God hardly ever smokes in front of Spades.
"It's something from [reality]." Spades stares at the cigarette held between Retrograde's index and middle fingers, which is burning, and probes, "Would Bai Liu like something like this?"
The Reverse God suddenly laughed and slapped the back of Spades head, "Before teaching you so many good not to learn ...... don t learn to smoke, Bai Liu does not like smoke."
After saying that, the Reverse God put out his cigarette, he boredly held the extinguished cigarette in his mouth, swept Spades a glance with a slanted eye, and flirted, "I didn't think you would fall in love with Bai Liu at first sight."
Spades was quiet for a moment and asked, "What is love at first sight?"
"It was the first time I saw this person that I felt that I would spend my life with her." The Inverse God had a reminiscent, very light smile on his face, "Actually, no matter if you can end up spending your life with her or not, the moment you see her looking at you in the crowd and smiling at you, it's really quite a happy moment."
"Can't I fall in love with Bai Liu at first sight?" Spades looks to the Adversary.
The Adversary laughed a little, "It's not that it's impossible, it's just kinda weird."
The Reverse God lazily dangled a cigarette, "Because in my perception, people like Bai Liu will never easily take the initiative to approach anyone until they die."
"Maybe it's because you, Bai Liu, can make him happy that he's taking the initiative."
Spades looks at the Adversary and asks, "What is the happiness that Bai Liu feels?"
The Inverse God was quiet for a moment and said, "Happiness ......"
"To explain it in a way that you can understand, Spades-" the Adversary turned his head with a grin as he held the extinguished cigarette in his mouth, "it's that when Bai Liu hugs you, you feel nothing but sadness for Bai Liu's other emotion."
"Just happiness."
"How does it feel to be a counselor?" Reverse God asked Spades, changing the subject.
Spades paused, "Nothing feels right."
Hearing this, the Reverse God laughed out loud, laughing until he choked and coughed a few times, barely managing to drop the cigarette he was holding in the corner of his mouth, "Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu both closed themselves up for a long time after they were done."
"It's actually embarrassing to spread the voice of your heart out and say it to someone else."
"But still, you have to listen to it to know what the problem is ......"
Spades looks at Against the Gods, "Have you had any counseling?"
Inverse God was quiet, he subconsciously put his hand into his pocket to feel the lighter, seemed to want to light a cigarette, but finally suppressed it, did not light.
"Did." The Adversary replied to Spades with a smirk tinged with a sigh, "But sadly it wasn't done."
Spades asked, "Why wasn't it done?"
The Reverse God smiled, "Because I have too many things on my mind to say them all."
Spades squints at the Adversary, "Why don't you do this more often?"
Reverse God lazily leaned on the balcony fence: "The purpose of counseling is to let yourself know where your problems are just fine, I know what my own problems are, so I didn't continue to look for Liao Ke to give me counseling afterwards."
"And counseling isn't everything, and a lot of times even if you know that's what your mental problem is, when it comes down to it, what's going to hurt is still going to hurt."
Spades notices the bandages on the Retro God's back, and he pauses for a moment to ask, "Why is it that knowing about your mental problems, you still get hurt?"
The Reverse God clipped the extinguished cigarette from his own lips, rolled over and leaned his back against the fence, and looked over at Spades with a smile : "Because that's the kind of emotional animal people are, Spades."
"Even when you know you're going to get hurt because of someone, there's still no way you can't go near them."
The Adversary smirked, "It's like the next time you get a chance to play a game with Bai Liu, even knowing that he can hurt you, you won't hesitate to go, right?"
Spades answered quickly, "Will go."
The Adversary laughed a little more, "That's quite persistent."
The flow of near-wind coming from behind ruffled Spades and the Adversary, and the Adversary squinted and leaned for a moment, then suddenly got up and pushed open the balcony door.
"Chop you two little brats your whips broke my heavy sword, I'm going to get the weaponsmith to fix it, and you yourself remember to fix your own whip."
"The league is about to start, get ready."
The Inverse God smiled back at Spades and instructed him, then pushed open the door to the conference room and left with a wave.
Inside the Stray Circus.
Wang Shun is anxiously guarding the outside of Mu Ke's room, and next to him squats Mu Sicheng, who is playing Hachette.
"It's been so long, as soon as Mu Ke woke up, he locked himself into this small warehouse, and there's been no movement at all until now." Wang Shun was so anxious that he was about to break into the house, seeing Mu Sicheng squatting next to the farmer's tuck yawning and crumbling and crying, "How can you still be in the mood to sleep!"
Mu Sicheng was so sleepy that he plopped down on the ground and stretched out a great deal, "What's your hurry, as long as the person isn't dead, just wait for Bai Liu to come back and deal with it."
Halfway through stretching, Mu Sicheng looked toward the three people walking toward the end of the corridor, and his eyes straightened as he jumped up, "Bai Liu is back!"
Bai Liu walks in front with an unblinking eye, Tang Er fights, Liu Jiayi walks behind him on the left and right.
When Bai Liu really approached Mu Sicheng, Mu Sicheng froze, "No, Bai Liu, how did you get hurt? And your hair has grown long?"
"Something happened, I'll let Jiayi explain it to you later." Bai Liu casually answered Mu Sicheng, then looked to Wang Shun, "What happened?"
When Wang Shun was swept by Bai Liu's inquiring eyes, he couldn't help but stand up straight and report one by one with his notepad in an occupationally insidious manner.
"Mu Sicheng was dispatched to the Golden Dawn Union when he went to sneak up on the Slayer Sequence, suffered an attack and was trapped, but escaped, and is currently unharmed after removing the binding props."
Mu Sicheng interrupted Wang Shun by yelling from the side, "What do you mean by being attacked? I was underhanded! I was underhanded!
Bai Liu ignored Mu Sicheng's defense and looked at Wang Shun: "What happened to Mu Ke?"
"When Mu Ke brought Du Sanying into the game pool, he encountered a new member of the Deer Hunters." Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu with a grave expression on his face, "The other party seemed to have used a very special memory prop on Mu Ke, which could transfer its own memories into Mu Ke's brain."
"Mu Ke came back in a coma, but when he woke up he went in with the keys to the warehouse and a lot of paper and pens and locked himself in the guild's warehouse and never came out, saying that he wanted to be alone and separate his memories from those of that clown."
Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, "The guild's warehouse is similar to a small dark room, and then Mu Ke's mental state is very off, so staying there for a long time will definitely cause problems."
"I was going to break in, but then again, not knowing Mu Ke's current state, a hard break in might cause Mu Ke to have a stronger psychic shock reaction if he's in a critical period of memory differentiation."
Bai Liu looked thoughtfully toward the closed warehouse room door, then he stepped forward and knocked three times without any haste, speaking softly with a flat expression, "Mu Ke, I'm Bai Liu, may I come in?"
Mu Ke's trembling, broken voice came out of the warehouse, "No!"
