Chapter 424: Challenge
In-game, Vagabond Circus Guild.
Wang Shun sat waiting in the conference room with bated breath and eyes on the door, waiting until Bai Liu pushed his way in and finally smiled as if relieved, "Welcome back, President."
"You and Charles that plan is really messed up." Wang Shun couldn't hold his tongue once he saw Bai Liu, "This will lower our guild's trust once, the big head is still Russell's guild's, it's too costly to do this ......"
Bai Liu sidestepped, letting out Yuan Guang, who was a bit nervous behind him, and looked at Wang Shun with a smile, "This is a new member who is going to join our guild, please explain the specific rules of our guild to him, Wang Shun."
"By the way, Russell Cemetery is supposed to be merged into our guild."
Wang Shun froze for a moment as he looked at the tense Yuan Guang, then stepped forward in tears and laughter, "Yes, Chairman, I know."
This is really ......
Wang Shun looked at Yuan Guang, who greeted him nervously, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Expect their guild's white president to suffer, in your next life.
It was better for mortals like him to honestly follow the steps of immortals like Chairman Bai.
Wang Shun turned his head to Bai Liu before he was about to take Yuan Guang to familiarize himself with the guild : "President, Team Tang and the others have gone to the game pool to train."
"See if you take a break or ......"
Before Wang Shun could finish his sentence, Bai Liu rose with a natural demeanor, "I'll come over and train with you."
"When is the challenge?"
Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, "Chairman, if you're not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days, this year's Challenge seems to have a change in the temporary rules, and the specific schedule hasn't come down yet."
Bai Liu looks up, "Rule change?"
Wang Shun nods, "Yes, the system sent down a notification last night."
"But every year there are slight tweaks to the rules for the challenge and playoffs, it's kind of a normal process, so don't worry about it too much."
"I know." Bai Liu turned and pushed open the door to the conference room, heading precisely to the play pool.
Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, "Chairman ...... There's something else, it's not related to the tournament, but I think I should talk to you about it."
Bai Liu turned his head, "Yes?"
Wang Shun awkwardly averted his eyes, eyes wandering not dare to look at Bai Liu: "Spades in the past few days, every day to come over to look for you, I do not know whether to let him come in, so I stopped him outside the door."
"Then he said he dreamed he slept with you, noisily, when a lot of our members came out to watch Spades, the Killer Sequence ace, and probably heard it."
"A lot of people are now privately rumoring that Spades is your lover ......"
Wang Shun feinted and coughed, "Personally, I think it's kind of a minor scandal, it shouldn't affect us going through our normal schedule, so you shouldn't have to worry about it, Chairman."
Yuan Guang next to him heard his pupils quake as he darted a glance at Bai Liu before quickly lowering his head in a cold sweat.
...... Shit, hearing this kind of gossip on the first day of work, will he be directly screwed by the white boss ah!
The top-ranked player and his new boss slept through the second day of their contest ......
Serious injury wardplay?
Yuan Guang felt a little dizzy - this Damn it is too exciting!
You high panel players are too topsy-turvy! Do you play so wild!
Bai Liu paused for a few seconds, he leaned against the door and lowered his eyes, "Don't mind him, next time he comes ......"
Wang Shun tried, "Shall I just drive him away?"
"No." Bai Liu turned and gently closed the door with a very slight smirk in her tone, "Next time ask him to come back, and if he doesn't leave, let him come in and wait for me."
The door clicked shut.
Wang Shun and Yuan Guang remained motionless for several minutes.
"Just now ...... " Wang Shun's pupils quake and his tone trembles as he holds Yuan Guang's shoulder, "Is the Chairman saying to just let Spades in? "
Yuan Guang waved his hands and shook his head quickly in horror, "What sleeping, what letting the Serious Injury Ward PLAY, I didn't hear anything, I don't know anything!"
Wang Shun: "......"
This Yuan Guang, doesn't he know too much?
Game Pool.
When Bai Liu came to the pool, Tang Er hit them already in the pool to train on their own.
The entire play pool is empty, and Bai Liu sits next to the colorful play pool, not jumping in, but simply sitting there with his back against the wall of the play pool.
The water in the play pool refracted colorful waves of light, bobbing back and forth on the ground, reflecting on Bai Liu's drooping eyelids and long eyelashes, reflecting his dark eyes in mottled colors.
Bai Liu very rare flood up a lazy, do not want to jump off this wet game pool to play horror games, but half-lidded eyes back against the game pool, one hand propped up on the jaw as if in a shallow sleep, but also as if waiting for someone.
Not far away came the sound of steady footsteps, and a man walked step by step to Bai Liu's face.
The shadow cast by this person blocked the light diffused from the play pool, completely encompassing Bai Liu, who was leaning his back against the play pool.
Bai Liu tilted his head, distancing himself from Spades, who stood in front of him, bent over and ready to come closer to see him, and spoke in a light tone, "I remember placing signs outside the play pool prohibiting Killer Sequence members from entering the pool."
"Oh." Spades crouched down and looked straight at Bai Liu, "I can't read very well."
Bai Liu: "......"
Forgot about that one.
Spades This guy can only recognize a few basic characters on the game's system panel, and a lot of words beyond that.
"Killer Sequence and Game Pool are seven words you recognize." Bai Liu looks directly at Spades.
Spades thought for a moment, "But there are two words in the middle that I don't recognize."
Those two words in the middle are [forbidden].
Bai Liu hooked up the corner of his mouth, "And what do you think those two words mean?"
Spades looked at Bai Liu and answered bluntly, "I don't know, I didn't think, I saw you in there and came in."
"Does it mean I'm not allowed to come in?" Spades asked Bai Liu seriously, coming close enough to reflect a whole Bai Liu in his eyes.
Bai Liu was quiet for a few seconds, he averted his eyes, moved away from locking eyes with Spades and said very softly, "...... Not anymore."
So naturally Spades leaned against the wall of the play pool with Bai Liu, shoulder to shoulder, "I did go to your guild to look for you, but they wouldn't let me in."
"With your ability, you can force your way in, right?" Bai Liu moves slightly to the side, distancing himself from Spades.
Spades posted very naturally, "Yes, it's easy to beat them away."
"But they said you weren't there, so I left."
Bai Liu paused as he moved a little further away, "What do you want with me?"
Spades presses right up against it sideways this time, his left hand outstretched against the wall of the pool above Bai Liu's right ear, his right hand gripping the black bone whip and bending his knees forward as he looks into Bai Liu's pure black eyes in intense concentration, his tail tone rising slightly:
"I've learned to dream, Bai Liu."
"Only people dream, right? The people you like are people too, aren't they?"
Spades eyes bugged out as he said, "Am I more human now, more of a passable souvenir of what you want?"
Bai Liu's breath stopped as he tried to move to the side again.
"Can I take the reward?" Spades inquired in a low voice while his eyes dropped, "The same reward as last time."
His eyes fall on Bai Liu's light-colored lips, his left hand propped up by Bai Liu's ear bends, and he naturally leans down, pressing his entire body against Bai Liu, completely covering Bai Liu in his arms, Spades' eyes closing slightly.
Bai Liu closed his eyes.
Spades touched his lower lip, an icy touch, then kissed down his lower lip on the side of his neck, then the center of his collarbone, his tone becoming a little misty, "You didn't wash the cross I drew for you."
Bai Liu raised his hand to cover his reddened eyes, his breathing became rapid as he raised his hand to grip Spades' shoulder trying to push the other man away, "...... It's okay."
But the next second Spades bites Bai Liu students where the cross was drawn, Bai Liu was bitten to lift up his waist and lightly trembled for a moment, pushing away the movement of a moment of slack, by Spades holding his wrist against his heart and continue to embrace tightly.
Spades whispers, "No."
"You told me to wake up and see you, but I woke up for a long time and you didn't come to see me."
"You lied."
Bai Liu felt the hem of his shirt being spread and then burrowed in by Spades' cold hands, which were pressed against his waist, embracing him hard.
This was a bit too much, Bai Liu's side of his neck flushed, he inclined his head and his chest rose and fell hard twice, and was just about to order Spades to stop when he heard Spades say in a very calm voice:
"I dreamed that I was shot holding you like this and turned into a pile of ashes and died next to you."
"And then you were crying for me."
Bai Liu's movement to stop it lurched as he touched a scar in the center of Spades' back, in the taut muscles of his waist - a wound left by the bullet that had struck Spades when he had stood in front of him earlier.
"I told Bai Yi and the others about the dream, and they said I don't have a soul and wouldn't die from that gun."
Spades paused, "I've actually always felt that a soul was something I didn't need."
"But if I learn to be a human being properly and have a soul of my own, will you cry for me when my soul breaks?"
"I want you to cry for me."
Bai Liu closed his eyes as he let out a soft laugh, "Then you'd better dream faster."
While Spades was frowning and trying to get to the bottom of the matter, wondering what it would take for Bai Liu to cry for him, Bai Liu lifted himself up, put his arms around Spades's neck, and closed his eyes and kissed Spades back.
So Spades forgot what he was going to ask for a moment, and he lowered his head to concentrate on hugging and kissing Bai Liu.
The other side of the play pool pool wall.
Tang Er hit from the game pool end of training to drill out, bracing up the pool wall to get out, but the result is just about to come out, eyes raised to see ...... hold Bai Liu tightly in his arms, covering almost completely revealing Spades.
Looking at the action, if Tang Er hit correctly, these two should be kissing, and Bai Liu is not resisting.
Spades lifted his eyelids and gave Tang Er a rather provocative look.
Tang Er typed: "......"
Tang Er hit his head and sat back down in the game pool.
Five minutes apart.
Mu Ke emerged from the play pool, he gave a puzzled look at Tang Er hit who was sitting motionless and was just about to step out, then ......
Three seconds later.
Mu Ke sat back with an expression as if the world had collapsed, clenching his fists and muttering under his breath, "I must get stronger and kill Spades ......"
Another three minutes passed.
Mu Sicheng cursed as soon as he stepped out of the pool, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Mu Ke and Tang Er covered his mouth, Mu Sicheng glared at these two people who suddenly went crazy, and at the same time, he stomped his legs and tried hard to jump out of the pool.
As a result, in the process of struggling, Mu Sicheng's eyes glanced over and saw the scene on the other side of the game pool.
Mu Sicheng pupils laxly fell back to the game pool, and Tang Er hit the same blank expression sitting in the pool.
One more minute.
As soon as Liu Jiayi emerged from the pool, three pairs of hands covered his eyes and ears.
Liu Jiayi was expressionless and quiet for almost ten seconds before speaking, "Your kind of formation ......"
"Bai Liu isn't doing anything with Spades, is he?"
