Chapter 56: Explosive Last Train
The thief's brother swept everyone around with his black eye sockets that had no eyes, suddenly raised his head as if sensing the location of the broken lens, and chased after the direction of Du Sanying, who had already run a long way away.
The entire car bounced and rattled as if it were about to fall apart from the running pace of the thief's brother.
Liu Huai slowly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that it was going to be another battle like before, thinking of this he bitterly laughed, he did not want to cut Mu Sicheng's hand for the third time to force him to go berserk, Mu Sicheng the one who was cut did not have a shadow of psychology, he the one who cuts people are about to have a shadow of psychology.
Zhang Gui looked at Bai Liu as if he had a feeling: "Did you purposely ask Du Sanying to hang the broken lens outside to lure the thief's brother? You already knew that there would be a thief's brother at this stop, and had Du Sanying lure him away?"
"Right. "Bai Liu nodded, "I found out at the last station that these monsters aren't new at every station, but have followed from the last one."
Zhang Gui asked, "How did you find out?"
Bai Liu flicks his eyelids up, "Because the number of these bursting passengers is growing at every station, and there are ones we've attacked."
Zhang Gui reacts, the number of passengers this time is indeed more than the last station, but this increase in the number of monsters will further increase the difficulty of the players to steal the broken lenses and escape, no wonder Bai Liu has to ask Du Sanying to lure away the thief brother, or else the thief brother and the increase in the number of passengers together, they can't really fight.
But whether it is stealing the thief brother's heart broken lens player, or lure away the thief brother's player, the survival rate can not be too high, Zhang Gui face more and more dark and heavy - no wonder all the players before all destroyed, this game is really disgusting, the thief brother appeared after the remaining seven stations, this game a total of seven players! The game has a total of seven players, seven stations, exactly one station will die a player, the last station dead ......
But in Bai Liu hands, actually to the fourth station, actually are still a player are not dead, the last station Mu Sicheng a foot have stepped into the ghost gate are pulled back, this station Du Sanying ......
Tsk.
Zhang Gui sized up Bai Liu, this guy really knows how to use his brain and people.
Du Sanying, a man who can't do much, but whose likelihood of dying and being robbed of his stuff is so small that dangling his thief brother with him would be the best option, but--
"Aren't you worried that Du Sanying won't want to lure the Thief's younger brother anymore, and what if he puts the shattered lenses away in his system backpack?" Zhang Gui narrowed his eyes and asked, "This is a very dangerous matter, how can you be sure that Du Sanying won't run away? If he escapes and the Thief Brother turns back to attack us, we'll all be in danger."
Bai Liu replied, "He and I are in a cooperative relationship."
Zhang Gui understood, he was a bit shocked: "Du Sanying is 100% lucky, how could he fall into your trap and be controlled by you?"
He had tried to control Du Sanying many times, but the puppet silk couldn't even reach Du Sanying's edge! It would be interrupted somehow!
Du Sanying also has a very famous item called [Release Control Jacket], no control skill can penetrate this jacket, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Gui directly gave up controlling Du Sanying.
Bai Liu shrugged as he smiled, "Perhaps for a player like Du Sanying him, being controlled by me is a sign of good fortune?"
Zhang Gui silently looked at Du Sanying, who was being chased by his thieving brother, crying and screaming all the way: "......"
All right, you call it Du Sanying's little piece of luck.
The overall process of reaping the lenses this time went very smoothly, except for Du Sanying who had an expletive to say, the rest of them went through it with an incredible ease, easily finding all 40 pieces, but because they couldn't avoid the flaming burn damage on the passengers, Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng, who were in charge of finding the pieces, had their life value dropped by twenty each.
"Using defensive props like bandages won't reduce the flame damage." Mu Sicheng's clothes were burned, revealing his pectoral and abdominal muscles that were stained a bit, and his face was black from the sweat wiped off by his own hands, making him look like a coal miner.
Mu Sicheng sat down on the ground with a gasp and raised his bandaged hands to wipe his cheeks, then rested the wrists of both hands on his knees, his eyes looking at Bai Liu from the bottom up : "I only have 40 life left, I can hold out for two more stops at most."
Liu Huai also used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat on his chin that was baked by the fire, and collapsed on the ground, panting a bit wearily, "I only have 70 life points left, so I can still last for three more stops."
Bai Liu ponders for a moment, "Everyone pop their life value, I'm 6."
Li Gou: "65."
Fang Ke: "80."
Zhang Gui: "85."
Du Sanying, who had been chased to the ground, was eerily silent for a long time as he swallowed, "......100."
Now even Bai Liu fell into a speechless silence.
Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, whose faces were in a sorry state, looked at each other for a while, and asked with a bit of subtlety, "You were chased so badly, and you didn't lose a single point of life value? Thief brother's movement speed is 1400, you haven't been caught?"
Du Sanying slightly sidestepped his sheepish eyes as he scratched his face, "Many times he almost got caught ...... but he tripped over the seats of the train many times."
Zhang Gui completely speechless, although he is not the first time to see the power of Du Sanying's lucky value, but this Damn it is also too outrageous! boss chasing people tripped over a stool what is this thing ah!
Zhang Gui : "How many times did I trip and fall before I didn't catch you once?!"
"Also, it's only a few hundred times ...... " Du Sanying said weakly with faraway eyes.
Bai Liu, Zhang Gui, Mu Sicheng : "......"
Hundreds of times ...... has the brother thief ever stood up in front of you Du Sanying?
At the next platform stop for train travel time, Bai Liu deploys the battlefield again.
He tilted his head to look at the countdown on the train's led light board, turned to the group of people sitting on the ground behind him and calmly and briefly gave the order: "There are still two minutes to the next station, the next station is to replace Li Gou and Liu Huai to be the main attacker to steal the fragments, Zhang Gui and Fang Ke to assist, and replace Mu Sicheng, and the next station is Li Gou and Fang Ke to be the main attacker, another two people to assist, and the next is Zhang Gui and Fang Ke. station is Li Gou and Fang Ke as main attackers, the other two assisting, and then the next one is Zhang Gui and Fang Ke, and so on in order to rotate, keep everyone's life value above 20 at least, we still have a Monster Book of Monsters that hasn't been swiped out yet, we need to prepare for the boss battle."
"Du Sanying, you're still in charge of attracting the Thief's brother's attention."
Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu, a little confused, "So what am I supposed to do when I get replaced?"
Bai Liu met Mu Sicheng's eyes calmly and without waves, "You are responsible for preparing for the boss battle, the boss battle absolutely needs you, you are very important, the main force of the boss battle, so you can't die easily, pay attention to maintaining your life value not to fall below thirty anymore."
Mu Sicheng looked down at his bruised self, raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, "You want me to let my mental value drop and go berserk again to fight the boss, no, Bai sir? really just catch me a sheep woolgathering? I'll be delirious if my mental value repeatedly jumps sideways multiple times in such a short period of time, Bai Liu, please don't treat anyone as a monster like you who can have their mental value crumble, okay?"
He wasn't wrong, after the last time when his mental value dropped to single digits and recovered again, Mu Sicheng's eyes clearly began to be a bit lax, even though his mental value was later floated back by Bai Liu, the aftermath of the drastic drop in mental value and then the extremely rapid recovery within a short period of time was still there, and Mu Sicheng's spirit and concentration were still dropping very much.
When Mu Sicheng was the main attacker against Explosive Passenger, he was almost burned to death a few times, but at least he was assisted by three people, and Bai Liu, who had been watching Mu Sicheng, barely managed to get him back.
Bai Liu spoke in a calm tone, "Judging from your performance just now, you're indeed in bad shape, so I've decided to replace you and rest from now on to restore your energy, I'll need you to maintain a high level of concentration during the boss battle, you can feed yourself some sleeping pills to sleep for a little while, you'll be able to sleep for roughly another 20 minutes."
The system store was able to buy sleeping pills, and sleeping pills were always effective, one pill to fall down and sleep until dawn was indeed very effective in restoring the spirit, but Mu Sicheng only wanted to laugh when he heard it, he lay back with his arms open, his head resting on the palms of his folded hands.
Mu Sicheng tilted his head at Bai Liu with a smirk : "If I sleep, who will protect me and ensure my safety? Everyone else has been arranged by you to grab the shards."
Bai Liu looked at him calmly, "Me."
Mu Sicheng was so shocked that he choked and coughed, and just wanted to sneer at Bai Liu Your life value is only 6 How can you protect me, but when he met Bai Liu's flat and unparalleled eyes, he couldn't say a word of those sarcastic words from the corner of his mouth, and he just scratched his hair with some annoyance, "You only have six life value, are you kidding Bai Liu ......"
Bai Liu explains without skipping a beat, "Of all the people here, I'm the only one who can ensure your survival one hundred percent, do you have any objections to that?"
Mu Sicheng's eyes swept over the dark expression of Zhang Gui, the crying Du Sanying, the averted Liu Huai, and the other blank-eyed Zhang Gui's puppets, and finally settled on Bai Liu's unwavering eyes - this guy! Before, when he was about to forcefully execute the plan to control Zhang Gui, he also had this kind of [I know it's risky but I won't change] look in his eyes.
After a few seconds, Mu Sicheng gave a stifled tsk and finally threw up his hands in compromise and surrendered, "OK, I have no more objections."
"I told you, I won't let you die, Mu Sicheng." Bai Liu walked over and smiled at Mu Sicheng, a smile of a soothing and relieving nature, a smile that looked particularly false on Bai Liu's face, but Mu Sicheng still looked relieved for a moment.
Bai Liu patted Mu Sicheng's shoulder and sat down next to him, "Go to sleep."
Mu Sicheng was patted by Bai Liu, involuntarily closed his eyes and relaxed, he had a high level of mental tension, but Bai Liu that whisper "sleep", as if a spell, Mu Sicheng could not help but relax the tense muscles and nerves leaning against the car door, he thought I'll just close my eyes and rest, definitely not fall asleep, falling asleep in the game is too much nonsense, definitely not something he can do this kind of high alertness. I'll just close my eyes and rest for a while, I'm definitely not going to fall asleep, falling asleep in a game is too much of a joke, definitely not something that someone as vigilant as him can do. ......
[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has used Highly Effective Inhalant Sleeping Pill on Player Mu Sicheng]
Mu Sicheng frowned a little at the sound and moved his hand twice as if ready to struggle awake, but soon Bai Liu put his hand against the tip of Mu Sicheng's nose with little emotion on his face, and Mu Sicheng breathed in and out twice as his whole body loosened up and he fell uncontrollably into a deeper, darker, sweeter sleep.
Bai Liu glanced sideways at Mu Sicheng, whose head was tilted and breathing steadily, and raised an eyebrow at the white powder in his hand, "This inhalation sleeping pill is too good to be true, isn't it?"
Du Sanying looked dumbfounded, "Why did you suddenly put Mu Sicheng down!"
"He's been too affected by that lowering of his spirit value earlier, the best way to restore his condition is to sleep deeply." Bai Liu held his breath and patted the sleeping pill powder on his hand, waiting for the powder to dissipate before turning his head to Du Sanying and opening his mouth, "I need Mu Sicheng in good condition to fight the boss later, let him fall asleep first."
Du Sanying was a bit confused, he moved closer to Bai Liu and thought he was whispering very quietly to Bai Liu's ear, "But Bai Liu, before you used Mu Sicheng because there were only the three of us, but now that you have so many people, there's no need for you to have to point at Mu Sicheng alone to hokey pokey, right? You don't have to focus on Mu Sicheng alone, right? It's okay to fight against monsters with other people!"
Du Sanying said while also looking at Zhang Gui and the others out of the corner of his eye, his eyes made extremely villainous and gossipy, meaning why Bai Liu didn't hoho these bad guys.
"These people will be looking for shattered lenses in the station later, their life value will drop below 30, and their fighting ability will be reduced to a certain extent." Although Bai Liu knew full well that at this distance Zhang Gui and the others could clearly hear themselves and Du Sanying whispering, Bai Liu still cooperated by lowering his voice and slightly sidling his head over to nibble on Du Sanying's ear.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes, "And in this copy of the game, only Mu Sicheng is the most likely to fight the final boss."
"Only Mu Sicheng is the most probable?" Du Sanying repeated Bai Liu's words a bit blankly, he turned his head to look at Mu Sicheng, who had been put into a deep sleep by Bai Liu with sleeping pills, and asked in confusion, "Why is he the most useful?"
Bai Liu lowered his eyes as he looked into Mu Sicheng's unaware, peacefully sleeping face and smiled, "Because he is the best thief I have ever seen, and the only one who has ever managed to steal anything from me."
"Much better than the pair of brothers who stole the mirror."
Du Sanying didn't understand, he was used to not understanding Bai Liu's words, Du Sanying just looked at Bai Liu hesitantly: "Bai Liu, but even so, do you really want to protect the sleeping Mu Sicheng? Why don't you let the others protect you, it's too dangerous! One of you is asleep and the other has only 6 life points!"
"No way." Bai Liu rejected at first bite, "There are only three people on the shard grabbing side, one grabbing and two guarding so as to avoid life value loss, one grabbing and one returning to the defense, later on, their status will still be slipping, they will lose a lot of life value due to mistakes, if the total life value is lower than 400, so we will all be trapped in the game."
Du Sanying still want to say something to persuade Bai Liu, but against Bai Liu's emotionless face, he also realized that Bai Liu is determined, Du Sanying knew that he could not easily persuade Bai Liu, so he could only hang his head down and left.
Before leaving, Du Sanying glanced at Mu Sicheng, who was sleeping deeply, and Bai Liu, who was guarding next to him, and sighed with a complicated sigh.
This was the first time he had ever seen a player give up his life so that another player could get a good night's sleep.
Of course Bai Liu, this is purely for the purpose of waking up and making better use of Mu Sicheng.
I don't know whether Mu Sicheng was lucky or unlucky.
--------
Mu Sicheng jolted out of his overly deep sleep.
The train was speeding through the dark tunnel, and the wind was pouring in through the top opening that had been opened by the thief's brother, bringing out a whistling, whistling wind, and the sound woke him up from his dreamless sleep, and everything around him appeared to be no different from what it had been before he had fallen asleep, but Mu Sicheng looked around carefully, and he noticed that the damage to the carriages had deepened quite a bit, and that it looked as if it had gone through one vicious battle after another, and everywhere there were There were openings for the wind to come in.
The performance of the others also confirmed Mu Sicheng's suspicion.
Zhang Gui and Liu Huai were cowering in the corner, Li Gou and Fang Ke were covered in blood and in a sorry state, and Du Sanying was lying on a stool, panting like a dog with his tongue out, his hair wet with sweat and sticking to his forehead like a parrot being picked up from the water, and his eyes straightened up, looking very tired.
Bai Liu isn't much better, white as death leaning against the door adjusting his breathing, whip in hand, sweat dripping off his soaked shirt, head tilted back as he's pouring himself a stamina restorer, a stack of bottles at his feet.
Seeing Mu Sicheng waking up, Bai Liu slowly rolled his eyes, "Mu Sicheng, you're awake, the sleeping pills are working well ah, it's just been twenty minutes or so, how's the recovery going?"
Mu Sicheng rubbed his swollen temples and stood up with the door open, he knew now that Bai Liu couldn't even bring himself to lose his temper when he drugged himself, Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with a frown, "How many stops have you made now? How many broken lenses have you collected? What's your life expectancy?"
"Just passed the eighth station, there are still two more stations to go back to the antique city, broken lenses collected 300 pieces." Bai Liu as if he hadn't heard, skimmed the last question and said, "I feel that your mental state is restored, I'll explain to you what you're going to do at the ninth station, and you'll have to work with me later ......"
Mu Sicheng raised his eyes, his eyes carrying a bit of hostility as he stepped on Bai Liu's whip and repeated his question word for word, interrupting Bai Liu, "I'm asking you Bai Liu, how much life is left in you right now?"
Blood spilled from the corner of Bai Liu's mouth and was licked away as he lifted his eyelids, "Knowing that will only shake your trust in me when you work with me later."
"I don't know that I would have faltered more." Mu Sicheng snorted, "Say, haven't you always forced yourself to work well with me, whether I trusted you or not? "
Bai Liu is silent for a moment, "3."
Mu Sicheng didn't hold back, "Fuck!"
Mu Sicheng resisted his urge to swear as he stood up in annoyance, Bai Liu watched impassively as Mu Sicheng lifted his chair and forced himself to calm down.
Mu Sicheng turned around and gritted his teeth as he looked at Bai Liu: "You have three fucking life points, talk to me about a bullshit match, one burn and you're dead!"
"It's getting burned three times." Bai Liu corrected, calmly placating Mu Sicheng before he was about to bust out, "But Mu Sicheng, you're making too many mistakes with everyone else, and I had to come up here and work with you because no one can afford to have anyone fall off the wagon for the next match."
"As long as you don't miss, I won't die." Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng looked at each other, "So you must not miss, understand?"
Mu Sicheng took a deep breath, and eventually could do nothing more than grumpily yell at Bai Liu, "No blunders! Madman, say it, what do you want me to do for you! What do I two have to cooperate with! The sea of fire I've fucking rained down for you!"
Bai Liu smiled, "It doesn't need to be that serious, I just need you to steal something for me."
"What is it?" Mu Sicheng asked back suspiciously.
Bai Liu had just opened her mouth when the female voice of the train's radio sounded, "There are two more stops to go, the train is about to arrive at the final stop, the next stop is Lujiaxiangkou, please ask passengers who want to get off to line up by the door, first on then off ......"
Gradually the car door was piled thick with charred corpses, their heads twisted and turned and cackled, and the thief's brother stood at the forefront, covered with flames, his eyes crackling underneath, his bones reddened, and striking the eye what seemed to be a pair of reddened eyes burning defiantly in the thief's eyes, and the thief snarled and pounded on the car door, enraged at the loss of his loot -- the splinter that had been taken from his heart.
"These monsters are going to come up later! Bai Liu, what exactly do you want me to steal!" Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu as he pulled him back cautiously.
Bai Liu braces himself with his chin, "I'm not sure what I want you to steal."
Mu Sicheng squirted, "? I'm not sure! You have to give me a goal!"
Bai Liu gripped the fishbone in his hand, he exhaled a long breath at the door way of the car that opened with a click, his gaze was stoic, but there was a little smile at the corner of his mouth, "If I'm not wrong, what I want you to steal back could be all we have, 300 broken lenses, or it could just be 20 broken lenses, it depends mainly on whether Du Sanying can stabilize it or not. "
"? ? 300 broken lenses, but isn't that on Du Sanying?" Mu Sicheng turned his head towards Du Sanying in a bit of confusion.
The bastard was still at 100% life now, which made Mu Sicheng slightly speechless, "Steal it back? Are you saying that the thief's brother will steal it from Du Sanying? That's impossible, that stupid big guy has been chasing Du Sanying for six stops without even touching the corner of Du Sanying's coat, how could he possibly steal the pieces from him?"
"Did you know that there's a guarded secondary jump principle for designing bosses for horror games?" Bai Liu suddenly brought this up.
Mu Sicheng squinted over, "I don't know, what's this?"
Bai Liu smiled: "That is the boss that guards the pass, before the player passes the pass, will certainly be berserk, can be the combat power berserk, hit rate berserk, this boss will certainly be the performance of a great enhancement, that is, the performance of the second level of the jump, to bring the player to pass the pass a great obstacle, usually speaking, before passing the pass, there will be a will lead to a large number of player deaths in the level. "
"But what's strange is-" Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes, "This thief brother has followed us for six stops is obviously the main boss of this game, but it hasn't shown any signs of berserking, even though We've slipped him for six stations, the later it gets the smoother it gets, and as we see that we're about to pass the level, his combat power hasn't increased in the slightest, this design doesn't make much sense."
Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrows, "And then what?"
"That's why I think he's another secondary jump." Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes, "If there's no mass value enhancement, then there's a new monster, do you remember the name on the second page of the monster book? The Thief Brothers, but we only see a younger brother, what about his older brother?"
