Chapter 321: Reality

Du Sanying was all confused: "????"

After returning home, Du Sanying took the parrot out and hung it by the window, Bai Liu was watching it, and when the parrot saw Bai Liu in the cage, it first exploded and shouted at him to run away.

When Du Sanying didn't run away, the parrot looked around, then slowly widened its green eyes and stared blankly at Bai Liu, who was smiling outside the cage.

It seems to have finally realized that it is in Bai Liu's territory, and after a minute of standing still, it quickly buries its head under its wings, and then crouches motionless in the corner of the cage.

Du Sanying explains a little awkwardly, "San-San isn't usually like this."

Bai Liu kindly expressed his understanding, "Animals do find it hard to accept a change of residence, but do you generally use this parrot to memorize things because it's special in some way other than teleporting people?"

Du Sanying nodded excitedly, "Yes! Mr. Bai Liu you should know, many things in the game can't be remembered in reality, they will be tampered with or erased, but SanSan can remember those erased things!"

"It works!"

Bai Liu looks over at the parrot, "So how can we get it to remember all this stuff?"

"It's very simple." Du Sanying says, "Just keep repeating it to it and wait until it attaches itself to you."

"But San-San can't memorize very complicated things." Du Sanying scratches his head apologetically, "It can only remember simple things, so I usually only let it remember the most important ones."

Bai Liu nodded in understanding.

After Du Sanying packed up his things obediently, he held up the basin and clothes and greeted Bai Liu, "Mr. Bai Liu, I'm going to take a shower, can I use your bathroom?"

Bai Liu nodded.

After Du Sanying went into the bathroom, Bai Liu got up and walked nonchalantly to the windowsill.

The parrot in the birdcage buried its head under its wings, but it couldn't help but tremble slightly at Bai Liu's proximity.

Bai Liu half-closed his eyes, stretched out his index finger, flexed it and stroked the parrot's fur.

The parrot shook even more.

"What do you remember?" Bai Liu asked in a very soft voice, "Say it right and I won't do anything to you."

"Bai Liu, bad man!" The parrot hissed, shrinking inward as if resisting.

Bai Liu sighed regretfully, "It seems that you are not willing to cooperate, so let's do it another way, I'll tell you something you have to memorize, how about you memorize it for me?"

"In return, I will ensure your and Du Sanying's survival."

The parrot hesitated for a moment, then slowly poked its head out from under its wings and looked at Bai Liu with wary green eyes, as if asking him what he wanted its help in memorizing.

Bai Liu turned and sat on the window string, the unprotected high-rise behind him, the night breeze blew very gently, blowing Bai Liu's half-length hair, which was not too neatly cut, gently swaying.

"On August 17th, Spades broke my whip and cross."

The parrot hesitated for a long time, repeating after Bai Liu, who cocked his head in puzzlement, "Just to memorize, this?"

"For now just remember this." Bai Liu said very softly, "I'll make you memorize it later if he breaks anything else of mine."

The parrot spoke from a confused heart, "Does this, matter?"

"It's important to me." Bai Liu smiles and gives it a look, "This man owes me something, and I don't want it erased or forgotten again."

Du Sanying came out fully clothed after his bath and looked at Bai Liu anxiously, "Mr. Bai Liu, where do I sleep?"

"There are two single beds in my room, I went to buy them this afternoon." Bai Liu said, "You pick one where you like to sleep."

Du Sanying picked the single bed in the center, Bai Liu slept by the window.

The beds for two people are separated by a nightstand, kind of like the cold, business-like layout of a hotel, but ......

Du Sanying carefully turned around without making any noise, he was lost in thought as he looked at Bai Liu sleeping on the other side of the room, the moonlight vaguely seeping out of the window spilling onto Bai Liu's peaceful face, giving Du Sanying a very trance-like feeling.

...... He had forgotten how long it had been since he had been in a room with someone like this.

He had spent almost seven hours with Mr. Bai Liu since leaving the nursing home, and it really was just like Mr. Bai Liu said, nothing bad had happened ......

"Can't sleep?" Bai Liu didn't open his eyes and suddenly made a sound.

Du Sanying sat up from the bed as a whole in shock, "Did I wake you up by rolling over! I'm sorry!"

"Not counting you waking me up." Bai Liu opened her eyes, "It's also my first time living with someone and I'm slightly uncomfortable."

Du Sanying sat cross-legged on the bed and asked in surprise, "Has Mr. Bai Liu always lived alone?"

"Hmm." Bai Liu replied, "Only slept with someone when I was very young, and then I've always lived by myself."

Du Sanying was very surprised: "When Mr. Bai Liu was a child, would he still sleep in the same bed with someone? Where is that person now?"

"Dead." Bai Liu said faintly, "Suicide, doused all over with gasoline and set himself on fire."

Du Sanying paused.

He vaguely seemed to be able to remember the incident, but couldn't remember exactly, just a kind of sadness that he had once witnessed the scene that he couldn't help but open his mouth and apologize, "I'm sorry ...... my weekly amnesia seems to be acting up again, I can't remember."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Liu's tone was unmoved, "And not many people need to remember such things."

Du Sanying remained silent for a long, long time, and almost handily changed the subject, "That, that Mr. Bai Liu's team's game league is about to start, isn't it!"

"Well, we'll start training for the regimental matches in the near future, and the intensity of the training will be increased again." Bai Liu replied, "Because the league is about to start."

"I think Mr. Bai Liu will be the champion of the league." Du Sanying seriously cheered Bai Liu on, then lay back down again as he looked at the side of Bai Liu's face, "What does Mr. Bai Liu want to do after he wins the match?"

This time it was Bai Liu's turn to be silent, until Du Sanying yawned, thinking that Bai Liu had already gone to sleep, when Bai Liu suddenly spoke up again:

"Laying down on a lot of money to sleep with that man."

Du Sanying froze, then burst out in uncontrollable giggles.

Bai Liu glances sideways at Du Sanying, "Is that funny?"

Du Sanying scratched his head, still smiling on his face, "It seems normal for other people to make this wish, but Mr. Bai Liu says this kind of wish in such a serious manner ......"

He said honestly, "I think it's funny."

"But a wish that can make people laugh." Du Sanying said seriously, "Mr. Bai Liu will be so happy when it comes true."

Bai Liu averted his gaze back and a very light smile appeared on his face as well, "Maybe."

Killer Sequence Guild, Weapon Modification Room.

Hua Gan would whack crack after crack on the Reverse God's heavy sword as Spades sat on the high bench next to him, staring without a word.

"Don't look at me so strangely." Hua Gan would not look up, "I am indeed a weapon modifier for the Deer Hunters and should not be serving your Slayer Sequence."

Hua Gan will let out a long sigh, "But who called your tactician, Against the Gods, the most powerful soul of the Deer Hunters ever, the highest-ranking tactician in the guild, the Inquisitor of Against the Gods."

"The Adversary has really saved a lot of people, including me."

"I owe the Reverse God so old some favors, but I didn't follow him when he left from the Deer Hunters, that's already ungrateful enough." Hua Gan General sighed with a complicated expression, "Now that he's in a new guild and asked me to help with a weapon modification, there's really no way I can refuse."

Hua Gan will shake his head, "This year is all about something ah, I was a private weapon modifier, actually ate three of the guild's weapon modification up, took two outsourcing."

Spades spoke up just then and picked up, "No?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Hua Gan will, "Our guild's warehouse protection is also outsourced, Golden Dawn picked it up."

Hua Gan would freeze for a moment, then then burst out laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes, "The Adversary God outsourced the weapon modification to me and the prop protection to Golden Dawn, it's really worthy of him."

"The Adversary God has caught the best weapon modifiers and prop protectors in the game." Hua Gan will sigh, "Your Killer Sequence, a brand new guild that obviously can't get up and running, actually relied on the Inverse God's connections to solve two of the hardest problems for new guilds, and got it up and running."

"You're really digging for the Against God, Spades." Hua Gan tsked sourly, "The Against God was so determined when he left, our guild leader was so cold and hard, he finally softened his tone and begged him, saying that as long as the Against God was willing to stay, he could do whatever he wanted to do, but in the end he didn't leave him behind. In the end, he didn't leave the Against God behind."

Hua Gan would glance at Spades, "I've always wondered what exactly you offered the Adversary that made him willing to leave the Deer Hunters?"

"You have it backwards." Spades said calmly, "It was the Adversary himself who wanted to leave the Deer Hunters, I just gave him a suitable excuse."

Hua Gan would be stunned, and subconsciously retorted, "How could the Adversary God want to leave the Deer Hunters on his own?!"

"The Adversary has been the centerpiece of the Deer Hunters for a long time, he's close to everyone, and our president is still realistically very close friends, having fought side by side for years."

Hua Gan will recall, "The President puts the decisions of the Adversary first in everything, and even suffered several serious injuries to protect the Adversary on the field, and the Adversary didn't fail the President by formulating tactics to protect everyone."

"Everyone genuinely loves and yearns for the Adversary God, and the Adversary God is genuinely in love with everyone in the guild; he is the soul of the entire guild."

"So this year when the Inverse God transferred ......" Hua Gan will look down at the heavy sword in his hand that the Inverse God sent over to be repaired, and slowly exhale a mouthful of turbid air, "I'm just an ironworker can't accept it, don't say anyone else ."

Hua Gan placed the whacked and reddened heavy sword into the furnace, then hooked a bench with his foot and sat his ass down next to Spades.

He casually wiped the oil from his hands twice on his apron, looked at the Cross Heavy Sword, which was slowly melting in the lava of the furnace, and muttered, "...... How cruel it is that this Heavy Sword in the hand of the Adversary God, which once protected us, is now being turned on us."

"And yet I'm still mending him."

Hua Gan will snort in self-deprecation and pull a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket, popping one on the lava and lighting it, holding it immodestly in the corner of his mouth, his lips gulping smoke in handfuls.

"Want one?" Hua Gan will casually hand Spades his cigarette case.

Spades refused.

Hua Gan would narrow his eyes through the smoke, "The Adversary doesn't let you smoke, does he?"

"He did the same thing with the Deer Hunters, with the overtly hypocritical strict ban on smoking, and the funniest thing about it is that our president, who is the biggest smoker of them all, was banned by the Reverse God as well."

"The chairman will absolutely carry out obedience to any order set by the Adversary God, he is the main attacker of the Adversary God well, to develop a habit, so the chairman after the Adversary God has placed a ban on smoking, he has not smoked even once even if it is difficult."

"Instead, it's the Adversary God himself who's so masculine that he hides in my little workshop and sneaks a smoke every time he's addicted to cigarettes."

Hua Gan will laugh, "I didn't smoke either, but he made me start smoking too."

After that, Hua Gan will be quiet for a while, and then suddenly speaks, "I've never been able to figure out why he's leaving."

"Deer Hunters ...... is a guild that was started up by the Adversary."

"It is the Adversary who pulls us, desperate to the point of death, from nooks and crannies and pulls us back together into a group that seems to be able to keep each other warm and live out our days."

Hua Gan would lower his head, "The Adversary always smiles and tells us, as if in a joking tone, I can see your future, your future is good, just stay up a little longer."

"So that's how we stayed up for the future he was talking about."

"I met Reverse God in reality." Hua Gan would hold up his cigarette and reminisce, "I was a poor hooligan in reality that no one paid attention to whether I was dead or not, and even though I had a small stall for making iron, I couldn't feed myself."

"Then it is even more difficult to feed." Hua Gan will mutter to himself, "I picked up a brat as an apprentice, half a big boy eating poor old man, sometimes in order to eat, forced to do something to steal chickens and dogs."

"But once people get bad, things get worse." Hua Gan will exhale a mouthful of smoke, "Originally that year I two could get a certain subsidy, but I didn't know it at that time, I had already done bad things and had a record, so I didn't get it."

"And then things got worse and worse, and the more you lacked money the more you would do bad things, and the more you did bad things, the more you got your comeuppance."

Hua Gan will slowly lower his head, "But when I started the robbery, all I wanted was a full meal and to send the boy to a vocational high school to get him on the right track."

"I didn't think that when I was caught, this rash would suddenly come forward and say he did it with me, and we both ended up in there."

"I always thought this kid was a little out of his mind to be a street hustler, but I never thought he really was."

Hua Gan General suddenly laughed, "When I thought there was no way out, I happened to meet the Inverse God, he took the initiative to treat me to a meal, it wasn't very expensive, but it was a great meal, and after opening two pieces of beer, my disciple and the Inverse God both passed out from my drinking."

"The Adversary drunkenly told me that everything would be fine, that he could see the future."

"I thought for a moment there, too, that everything was going to be fine." Hua Gan would tug at the corner of his mouth and smile, "But it wasn't."

"The alley where I run my stall was logged into a horror game, and my protégé's quartered body had been out cold for half an hour by the time the Heresy Authority came by."

Hua Gan will be quiet for a long, long time, "I still logged into this game, and then I met the game's Reverse God, he helped me several times so that I could survive in this game, and then I also entered the Deer Hunter Guild with his help, and now I can only be able to be here to play iron at ease."

"I took my points and exchanged them for a body." Hua Gan will exhale a mouthful of smoke, "pinched this body to look like my apprentice, used the points to urge him to move, pretended that he wasn't dead, and was just as stupid as before to help me make iron."

"But this body can only exist in this hall, so I spend more time here than I do in reality."

Spades looks over at him, "Don't you want to come back to reality?"

Hua Gan would snicker, "What's the point of going back? I don't even have a nest in reality, but here at least I have my apprentice, an iron workshop, and a group of players who treat me well, so I'm doing alright."

"Sometimes, I also feel that this is not a good thing, and I have thought about resurrecting my disciple." Hua Gan will smash the cigarette in his mouth, "On the one hand, there are not enough points, and on the other hand, I think, what's the point of resurrecting him?"

"It's so hard to live, the best thing this kid has ever eaten when he came to earth for a walk was probably the meal the Reverse God invited him to."

Hua Gan will spit out a mouthful of smoke, "When I ate that meal, my disciple said he had never eaten shrimp, I was afraid that the Reverse God, the wrongdoer, would find it expensive not to invite, and scolded him for being greedy."

"But in the end the Adversary God smiled and ordered him a plate of shrimp, peeled them for him, and left him alone to finish the hokum."

Hua Gan will put out the cigarette, take a deep breath, his eyes reddened: "I especially do not understand, so kind and gentle a person, when he left so cruel, not even a greeting and we left."

"The president went to the Adversary God and begged him to come back after realizing that he had left."

Hua Gan will look at the already completely melted heavy sword in the furnace, lost in thought and said, "Our president is so arrogant a person, bowed his head in the doorway of your Killer Sequence's guild hall, and would have wanted to kneel, but the result was that the Adversary God held up the president, and said that he had already signed up for the league as a Killer Sequence team member."

"He's not coming back."

"Our president locked himself in his room for a long time and became a lot more somber after he came out, the president was originally the main attacker of Against the Gods, and now that he's taken over the position of the tactician, it's caused the entire style of the battlegroup to change drastically as well."

"Recently, the president also brought back a newbie clown with bloody tricks to fill in the gaps after the Adversary left."

"The Adversary God doesn't like to see casualties on the field, but this newcomer is going to see blood and kill when he strikes."

Hua Gan will say in a trance, "...... I feel like the chairman is practically retaliating against the Reverse God for leaving."

Spades honest review, "Your president is so childish."

Hua Gan will instantly blow up, "You childish vested interests have no business saying such things!"
