The Lost Land of Gold
Next to the panicked King and Priest, the guards of Gurolum looked blankly at this Bai Liu who suddenly appeared at the entrance of Gurolum and inquired, "May I ask if this is your guest?"
--It was ten years ago when the King traded with Bai Liu, and the reversing hourglass brought Bai Liu to this moment, allowing him to meet Bai Liu, who was trading with the King.
"No, he's not my guest." Bai Liu explained with a smile, "But I do look forward to his visit."
"I've been looking forward to a visit like this, for ten years."
"The moment you came here ten years ago, and made a deal with these people, you knew that ten years later, I would enter the game, get the hourglass, and reverse time to come to this scene before you?" Bai Liu inquired in an emotionless tone, "What a painstaking effort."
Bai Liu laughed softly, he shrugged his shoulders in a helpless manner, "There's no way around it, I made an appointment with Mr. [Prophet], I can't take the initiative to interfere with you."
"But the fact that you went into the game and took the initiative to travel through time to find me, that doesn't call for my interference."
"Since when did you guess that the monster in this copy is me?" Bai Liu inquired with a smile as he opened his hand to block the whip Bai Liu lashed at him, "How hostile, as soon as you come over here you're going to hit me for triggering the monster book."
Every copy has monsters, but Bai Liu didn't find any in this copy of The Land of Lost Gold.
Neither the gold dust all over the ground, nor the goldenized animals all over the place, nor the goldenized people at the entrance of the mines, belonged to the category of monsters, but it was impossible for a replica, to be without monsters - then the answer was obvious.
"The key is time." Bai Liu raised his eyes as he looked at the monster book panel that had surfaced on his system panel, "Monsters don't exist ten years from now in the Land of Gold."
"-rather, it was the Land of Gold ten years ago after the Hourglass was reversed."
[System Alert: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for unlocking the Monster Book - The Lost Kingdom of Gold (1/2)]
[Monster name: Evil God of the Golden Country]
[Attack value: ???? (undetectable, unlockable)
[Attack method: ? (Unable to be fully detected, may not be unlocked)]
[Weakness: ? (Undetectable)
"What a quick reaction time." Bai Liu caught the long whip Bai Liu threw at him with two fingers and tilted his head with a smile, "I've cooperated with you to unlock the Monster Book, in return, can we talk peacefully about something else?"
"--such as the Georgia Wang Zi who is about to shoot an arrow at me, now on the ramparts?"
A golden arrow shot through the air and pierced between the two men, Bai Liu retreated his long whip and looked sideways at young Georgia on the ramparts with his bow drawn full.
Bai Liu's arrival clearly distracts the Wang Zi from Bai Liu's hostility - at the moment Georgia, only sixteen years old, is frowning and aiming her bow and arrows warily at Bai Liu, an unexpected visitor who has suddenly appeared outside the gates of Gurolum.
"You can't have two identical souls in one dimension." Bai Liu's voice contained a smile, "You bring Georgia back from ten years ago, and he will become what he was ten years ago."
"It appears as if your efforts to acquire the soul of this Wang Zi's highness are going to be scrapped."
Bai Liu spreads his hands and chuckles, "--Ten years ago Georgia can't remember you helping him guard Gurolum with unanimous hostility toward you and me."
"This copy has two pages of the monster book." Bai Liu shifted his eyes from Georgia to Bai Liu, "There's another monster besides you that's dotting the stone, isn't there?"
"Hmm." Bai Liu sighs, "Aside from the fact that you don't want that, you're really the perfect candidate for the evil god's successor."
"This is the hourglass filled with tears." Bai Liu holds out his hand and raises his eyes to look levelly at Bai Liu, "In accordance with the contents of the deal you set up a thousand years ago, the deal between the Golden Kingdom of Gurolun and you is suspended, I will give you the Hourglass and you will give me the Pointed Stone."
The moment Bai Liu opened his palm and the hourglass filled with tears was revealed to all, everyone was stunned, even Georgia, who had once again drawn her bow to full strength on the wall, stopped and slowly lowered it.
"This is--!" The king exclaimed incredulously as he looked at the hourglass with a look of uncertain anticipation or resistance, cautiously moving closer to see, "The Hourglass of Time!"
"I can certainly discontinue the transaction." Bai Liu smiled with a lot of unspoken things in his smile, and with his afterglow, he swept the priest next to him whose face was a bit unattractive, and said with a light smile, "But after the deal is stopped, if someone still wants to continue the gold deal with me for the next thousand years, I naturally won't refuse."
Bai Liu opened his palm with the hovering dot of gold on it, and he smiled as he inquired, "King of Gurolun, would you like to choose the [Sands of Time Funnel], or the [Dot of Gold]?"
The king looked at the two objects with a struggle in his eyes - a tear-overflowing, broken, aged hourglass that had weathered countless storms, and a lustrous, golden and opulent, brand-new pointing stone.
When being thus distinctly exhibited before him, every man who has been brought up in the land of gold, out of instinctive longing, grasps for the point of gold that can bring gold.
"Your Majesty!" The priest raised his voice, he looked at the king who was caught in hesitation and was on the verge of jumping up and down anxiously, "The amount of gold mined this spring is less than one-tenth of last year's amount, and if there is no more gold, a lot of people are going to starve to death!"
The guards also urgently advised, "Your Majesty, choose the Gold Stone!"
"Father!" Georgia tumbled from the walls in a single leap, it was rare for him to act so inappropriately, but at this moment the young Wang Zi could care less about royal protocol, he ran over and spoke with a gasp though his expression was placid, "Please don't choose the Pointed Stone."
"Choose Hourglass."
Georgia looked insistently at the king with those brown eyes, "You knew what a terrible thing it was to fill this hourglass the night you lost your mother, do you want to pay back the pain that the gods wanted by making all the citizens of Gurolum go through this pain once?"
"Your Highness Wang Zi!" The priest was anxious and helpless, "Don't come and make trouble, if you don't have this point stone, many people will starve and freeze to death this year's winter in Gurolun!"
"But if you take this point stone." Georgia's eyes didn't hide, he looked straight at the king, "After a thousand years the winter of Gurolum will never pass."
"Would Gurolen still exist then?"
"Will it become a land of nothing but misery, buried at the bottom of the sea and disappearing because it has to pay back the thousand years of gold it owes?"
The priest was stunned, and even the guards stopped in their septuagenarian exhortations.
The king's eyes were complicated and struggling as he said feebly, "But Georgia, that's a thousand years away ......"
"We are also a thousand years away for King Gurolon, who set the deal in motion in the first place." Georgia lifted her head, and he said softly, "But for us, at this moment, at this time, there is no millennium, and winter is winter."
"So for the thousand years after this moment, when the people of the Gurolum Kingdom are faced with a thousand years of gold to pay back, will their winter not be a winter?"
"Father, you taught me to be a monarch who is responsible to his citizens and to exist for the well-being and happiness of the citizens of Gurolon."
Georgia gripped the bow in her hand, "The nationals here are not just the present, but should include the future as well, shouldn't they?"
The king fell into a long silence.
The priests and guards also stopped speaking, and all were silent.
Eventually, the king let out a long breath, and he looked up, his eyes were a million complicated and entangled emotions dissolving into sandy dust and dispersing, "I'll go with Hourglass."
"That is unexpected." Bai Liu smiles lightly as he collects some gold stones, he turns to Bai Liu, "Did you expect Georgia to convince her father?"
"No." Bai Liu replied calmly as he handed the hourglass to the King, eyes downcast, "I simply believe that human tears can have some unexpected effects."
"I could beat you the first two times on unexpected emotions, so-"
"- So you still made the same choice this time, you chose to believe in human feelings, and then you won me the third time." Bai Liu smiles with amusement as he hands Bai Liu the pointing stone, "I don't understand it, but it sure is interesting."
"As a reward for your win over me, the point of gold is given to you, and of course there's another thing for you, which you'll find out when you leave the game."
"But for now." Bai Liu looks to Georgia, who is staring at him with hostility, and gives a courteous doffing of his hat before saying goodbye to the King, and then finally looking over to Bai Liu and smiling, "It seems I'm not very welcome here as a businessman."
"I'll just go ahead."
Bai Liu casually swipes to the left, generating a silver-blue swirling door, he smiles and waves at Bai Liu as he turns to leave, "I look forward to our next meeting."
"--That would have been ten years later."
Bai Liu watched the silver-blue door close, and then slowly loosened his hand that clutched the whip - the sense of oppression that Bai Liu brought to the table was too strong, and if he didn't follow the other party's steps, the god who was too idle to grow a bag in his head might do something to force a deal, and then, he wouldn't be able to stop what happened to Guru Loren.
But now ...... Bai Liu looked down at this piece of pointing stone in his hand, gripped it, and turned around, also ready to log out of the game.
[System Alert: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for collecting the Monster Book - The Lost Kingdom of Gold (2/2)]
[Monster Name: Dotting Stone]
[Players may exit the game to receive a special prop reward for collecting the Monster Book of the Golden Land.]
Although he didn't get Georgia's soul, he didn't get nothing for all his work - but he had expected Georgia's soul to be lost, the man was very defensive and wary of him, and the way Georgia looked at him when he made the request was characterized by scrutiny and murderous intent. When he made the request, Georgia looked at him with scrutiny and murderous intent.
How should I say, should I say that it is worthy of being the director of the third bureau of interrogation? It is clear that he has made it this far, but he still did not relax his guard, looking at him is still like looking at a prisoner.
--- It was clear that he was really just an enthusiastic citizen who liked to collect souls.
Bai Liu sighed inwardly with regret.
...... Georgia The skill of the soul, so good, it is a bit of a pity not to be able to get it, but there is nothing he can do, and not everything is as he wants it to be.
Outside the game, his teammates should be waiting anxiously, there is no need to drag on wasting time, Bai Liu packed and organized, just ready to exit some, the result of a somewhat raw male voice called out to stop him: "Wait."
Bai Liu turns his head and raises an eyebrow.
The young Wang Zi barely maintains his own poise in front of him, but there is a slight blush on his face as he extends his hand and sincerely apologizes, "I didn't mean to attack you just now, I'm sorry."
"I don't know where you came from, but your arrival did save Gurolum, and I shouldn't have done something so rude to you."
Bai Liu maintained a subtle expression as he watched Georgia, until the feignedly calm Wang Zi looked red in the face and pleaded with trembling eyelashes, "If you can't accept my apology, I'll ask for a fine when I get back, and the amount of the fine can be decided by you until you're willing to accept my apology!"
Bai Liu: "......"
It's not necessary.
He hadn't fooled a child for a long time, so he was a bit out of practice, probably because Lu Yizhan's phrase [don't fool children] had really gotten into his head, and he hadn't remembered for a moment that there was also the operation of fooling a young Georgia.
More accurately, he really did not expect that the seemingly serious and indifferent head of the three bureaus Georgia, when he was young, would be so ......
Innocence.
In Bai Liu's case, the word "naive" is usually associated with being a good liar.
"I accept your apology." Bai Liu quickly puts on a manly, friendly smile as he takes Georgia's hand and shakes it vigorously, "There's no need to be so polite with me and say honorifics, we won't be so rusty in ten years."
"Suffice it to say that it was at the behest of you, ten years later, that I came here to deliver the hourglass to you."
"Me in ten years ......" Georgia's expression was a little puzzled, "What does that mean?"
Bai Liu smiled softly with downcast eyes, "You can understand that I'm the one who came from [the future], and ten years from now you'll be a very remarkable man, who, in order to save your kingdom, used your own tears as a guide to fill the hourglass and entrusted me to send it to ten years ago, wanting to abort Gurolum's deal ten years ahead of schedule."
"And you really succeeded."
"Is that so?" Georgia looked at Bai Liu for a moment of silence as he took a deep breath, "Then ten years from now I'm really in trouble."
"It's not really a problem." Bai Liu was serious, "We're soul mates, it's normal to do you this favor."
"Soul ...... best friend ......" Georgia pursed her lips calmly for a moment, her ears reddening a little, "You and I, are we so close ?"
Georgia, from the Crown Prince, has been very strict with himself since he was a child, and has almost no friends of his own age, because friends are in his eyes before friends, but even more so, his nationals, to whom he has a responsibility, and then he can not be too close to them, which is not in line with the Crown Prince's code of conduct.
The only one of his close peers that he's close to is a brother who blindly worships him, Armand.
For the first time, he met someone with an hourglass and risked traveling through time and space to save Gurolun from the fire, or his future friend, and it was at the level of soul best friend right off the bat ...... Georgia took a deep breath, and even got a little overwhelmed, "I can entrust Gurolun's affairs to you. You ...... you must be someone I trust a lot."
Bai Liu nodded sagely, "That's right."
"You invited me and my team to play a game with you in Gurolen ten years from now, and we won, and your brother cried a lot because he lost the game, and we comforted him for a long time."
Bai Liu is bullshitting without changing his face.
"Armand really ......" Georgia laughed helplessly, his eyes softening considerably, "It's been ten years and you're still so childish."
"But even as a friend, I can't let you make this trip to help me for nothing."
Georgia asks in good faith, "Is there anything you need?"
"Although Gurolen is currently in dire straits, there is no sense in letting the man who saved us all go home empty-handed, I have a resource of gold stored out there in advance that I can draw upon to give you a portion of it, but of course it is a mundane thing and you may not like it." Georgia quickly explains, "It's just a custom of ancient Loren, and for us to give gold to our best friends is the highest form of cherishing and courtesy."
Bai Liu let out a long sigh in his heart-- Georgia, from now on you and the whole of Gurrolon are my good friends.
I hope you bring gold often to treat me with courtesy.
"No gold." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "I want your soul."
Georgia was stunned: "Souls?"
"If treating each other with gold is the highest friendship specification in Gurolun." Bai Liu smiled, "Then trading souls is the highest friendship specification for my dear friend."
"Soul best friend isn't just an empty phrase, it's a real connection."
"So Georgia." Bai Liu looks up, to Georgia, extends his hand, and softly inquires, "Will you sell me your soul?"
Georgia was in awe for a long, long time before she reached out her left hand and gently placed it in Bai Liu's palm, "...... If it's just my soul alone, and not the suffering of all the citizens, then as a thank you for saving Gurolum."
"I can deliver my soul to you."
"But you can't use it to do things that hurt others and cause them pain."
"I generally only do bad things that make people happy." Bai Liu smiles, "Thanks for the trust, Captain Georgia."
[System alert: Player Bai Liu's transaction is successful, exit the game.]
Meanwhile, the real world.
On the island, Lu Yizhan rushed into the control room with the team, there were team members sprawled on the floor, the investigators' faces were white with fear, Liao Ke quickly crouched down and reached out to check the side of their necks, looked up and reported to Lu Yizhan: "Just fainted, they're all still alive."
Lu Yizhan breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily it was [Mu Sicheng] who came, if it had been other circus members, they would have come to see a field of corpses.
"The console was unplugged and coffee spilled, but the damage is minor." A member of the team looked up while checking the instrumentation and said, "I'll overhaul it right now and have it working in no time!"
"There!" The team member was pleased to see the operation screen light up, "I'll see if the robot on underwater patrol is working properly!"
A circle of radar ripples spread across the screen.
"On!" The investigator let out a long breath as he held onto the console, "Check on Heretic 0073!"
"The energy shield is still intact, it hasn't been damaged, we caught up!" The team member's face was full of joy, "He shouldn't have dived three thousand meters underwater yet, the robot didn't detect it!"
"I told you." The team member next to him covered his thumping heart, revealing a reluctant smile after the robbery, "We can only wiggle around eight hundred meters underwater with a submarine, a thief, how can you just dive down to three thousand meters without the help of tight equipment, and steal such a big one ...... "
"Beep-! Beep-!"
A disturbing red dot appeared on the large screen that was detecting it, darting closer to 0073's shields at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The smiles of all the team members froze on their faces, the hands and voice of the team member who was operating trembled, his face was one of uncontrollable fear: "Investigation Leader, check, an unidentified object has been detected approaching 0073's shield at a high rate of speed!"
"If the opponent continues at this speed, it will hit the shield in less than a minute!"
"What kind of monster is this? ...... That's three thousand meters under the sea, and it can still move at such a high speed, won't it be affected by the water pressure?!"
"What kind of creature is it anyway? Is it a heretic?!"
"We absolutely cannot let this man destroy the shield and take the heretic!" The investigator's eyes reddened as he watched the fast-moving red dot, his breath catching and his chest heaving before he jerked his head around to look at the operations crew, "As I recall, Captain Georgia mobilized funds on a military scale when he established this island guarding Heretic 0073, based on the criteria of protecting a country. "
"This island, stocked with missiles and underwater tracking torpedoes, is more than enough to blow this guy to smithereens!"
"What?!" It was Lu Yizhan's turn to turn white with fear, he was shocked out of his wits, "Does Georgia still have this kind of stuff for this island?!"
When was that! The missiles are there? That's too much!
But the other Third Bureau members were not surprised, "Captain Georgia has always armed the Third Bureau's repository on this scale."
"We have those in this Council as well."
Lu Yizhan was dizzy and weak in the knees-he said why Georgia had been so calm after receiving the advance notice letter and hadn't even reported it to the General Administration, so it was the General Administration and the Sub-Island armed on this scale!
Rebuilt the three bureaus, built the floating island, and armed the storage room with these things, and previously helped Su Yang to report part of the funding for the five buildings, but Georgia never applied for the funding report to the General Directorate, and never paid for it himself, which led to him not knowing anything about these things ......
Georgia, how much money is this guy holding?
No, no, no, this is not the time to think about that!
"It's still outrageous to use these!" Lu Yizhan shook his head frantically as he tried to hold down the investigator's hand as he tried to push the button to fire the missile, "The other side doesn't mean to hurt anyone, so maybe we can negotiate!"
The investigator coolly replied, "It's too late."
"Blast him first and then negotiate!"
Lu Yizhan : "!!!"
How do you negotiate after you've bombed! Let God negotiate with him after the bombing?
What's going on? Aren't the three bureaus in charge of storage? Why are they so aggressive?
Lu Yizhan tried his best to stop it, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and in his heart he screamed - Bai Liu, you should hurry up, I can't stop it anymore!
If a torpedo is blown over, it may not be able to kill [Mu Sicheng].
Other world line circus players in reality are all monster panel, in the case of opening the monster book, [Mu Sicheng 】's movement speed is very fast, if the time torpedo fly over, [Mu Sicheng 】avoided, so that he noticed that there are people in the sea is sniping him, must have been provoked to anger, to the extent that this person's impulsiveness, maybe really will do irreparable things!
Normally, [Mu Sicheng] steals things without destroying the stolen items, but when pissed off, this guy might just poke the shield under the surface and blow it up, and that would be disastrous!
"Another five hundred meters and it's going to hit the outer edge of the shield!" The team member anxiously shouted, "Survey Leader, what do we do?!"
"Please don't get in my way, Your Excellency." The investigator was furious as he pushed Lu Yizhan away and walked over to the operation panel, raising his hand to press the red button that symbolized emergency.
Meanwhile, under the sea.
[Mu Sicheng] suspended at the bottom of the sea, he looked at the glorious golden country in front of him and raised an eyebrow - no wonder that guy Bai Liu had to steal this, so it's such a valuable thing.
...... How should I take it away though?
Mu Sicheng 】thinking a little, he looked to this gold outside the surface of the golden light of the shield - in any case, no matter whether it is cut up and take away, or with props loaded away, this obstruction of the shield should be to break.
But ...... Bai Liu that guy thing very much, he should not like to make a mess of the stolen things, if broken the shield, the inside of the things in a mess, and then to say that he is reckless to steal things, the last time to get back the pair of famous paintings was scratched by him to break a corner, the man two days are smiling at him, see his spine chills.
Tsk.
It's so annoying.
After thinking it over, Mu Sicheng decided not to puncture the shield and use his largest space prop to fit it back in - but unfortunately, the space prop was not malleable enough, and if he added the upper space wrapped around the shield, the prop would not fit.
Then this won't work.
--I'll just have to ask Bai Liu, the man of many things, to begrudgingly accept the soggy booty.
Beneath the surface, Mu Sicheng rubbed his fists and threw out his monkey paws, leaning forward against the shield, and on the island, the stalemate between Lu Yizhan and the investigator went into overdrive, but Lu Yizhan's face sank with a dark look after he saw that the little red dot was still leaning forward against the shield even after it had paused slightly.
Probably because it couldn't fit, [Mu Sicheng] decided to poke through the shield after all!
Just as Lu Yizhan takes a deep breath and prepares to draw his heavy sword and tell the investigator that he is ready to go into the water to forcefully stop [Mu Sicheng], the voice of the operator next to him starts to become confused and alarmed, "Investigating Captain ......"
"Heretic 0073's sea depth numbers are decreasing ......"
"It seems to be ......" the operator looked dully at the survey leader, "surfacing itself."
The [Mu Sicheng] on the surface of the sea who was preparing to make a move watched as the country that was about to be stolen slowly floated up from the ground, and the scene inside that was originally dead and silent began to change rapidly as if it was a time reversal, and the gold on the people who had been transformed into gold sculptures fell away piece by piece, and the gold dust in the sky was like rain that had been recycled by the gods, falling from the ground to the sky.
Time is turning back, gold is melting, islands are boiling, and a kingdom that has been dormant at the bottom of the ocean for a decade awakens the moment the deal with God is over.
[Mu Sicheng] raised both eyebrows slightly, backing away from his figure and letting the island float upwards from in front of him without making a move, as he looked irritably at the Gurolian nationals in the shield who were alive and well, hugging each other and howling loudly.
All alive?
What the hell, Bai Liu? Didn't he say he doesn't steal from the living?
On the island, Lu Yizhan let out a long breath of relief and sat down on a chair, trembling as he held a cup and poured some hot water to take a breather, while a group of team members next to him looked at the rising heretic 0073, their expressions already completely demented.
"Team, Captain." The ops team member asked dully, "Heretic 0073 is going to rise to the surface, should we fire our missiles to shoot it down?"
Lu Yizhan, who was drinking water, choked on a mouthful of water, "Cough cough!"
The investigative team member shook his head in a trance, "...... or not."
"I always felt ...... that if we did, Captain Georgia would sink us in the sea to-morrow."
"Captain ......," the ops crew member ejaculated curiously as he stared at the display, "The red dot under the sea that was near Heretic 0073's shields is missing."
Lu Yizhan chokes and coughs as he looks over, then turns his head and locks eyes with Liao Ke, both with a look of finally relaxing.
Mu Sicheng 】this person does not steal living people, also do not like to steal [living things], see the scene of the recovery of the ancient Luo Lun, this rebellious nature of the thief is absolutely not obedient to obey the Bai Liu command, he should now be back to the original world line, looking for and Bai Liu big fight, and then be punished.
Although [Mu Sicheng] had done something wrong, in Lu Yizhan's case, it was not a crime punishable by death.
Liao Ke looked with complicated eyes at Lu Yizhan, who was slumped in his chair, holding a cup and drinking water with his eyes empty -- So even in that kind of emergency situation, Old Lu tried his best to keep [Mu Sicheng] alive.
Even if they were enemies, Lu Yizhan wouldn't condemn them to death until they'd made a fatal mistake.
--Because [the Inquisitor] needs to stay awake and sane.
This is the absolute standard that cannot be overstepped as a [Judge].
Lu Yizhan, the absolutely sober and rational Judge, was helped out by Liao Ke from the Third Bureau, and after the members of the Third Bureau thanked Lu Yizhan for coming to warn them, they conducted an intensive investigation into Liao Ke and Lu Yizhan - an investigation that lasted for one night, asking as many as three thousand questions. The investigation lasted all night, asking more than 3,000 questions.
By the end of the questioning, Lu Yizhan felt that his privacy and dignity as a human being had been completely lost.
Lu Yizhan stayed up all night, seeing the sun the next day was dizzy, walking left foot tripping right foot.
Liao Ke is helpless and funny again, sighing, "...... You were so badly injured in the last game, your soul is only half full, you should have rested properly, but during the day you have to go to work, at night you have to take Spades and the others to practice to prepare for the playoffs, while at the same time you have to maneuver around Bai Liu, and now you're also Going to manage the Heresy Handling Bureau and preparing for the wedding, you're made of iron that can be used to rot by yourself."
"But it's good to see that everything has come to a peaceful end." Lu Yizhan let out a long breath and shook his head and smiled as well, "...... It's been pretty good lately."
"In league play Spades has been able to hold his own and play well with his teammates."
"That's true." Liao Ke said and laughed about it, "It's always nice to stop and wait for your teammates."
Lu Yizhan and Liao Ke logged into the game once quickly after disembarking, making sure the Killer Sequence match was over before moving on to the three-game investigation process.
"The match turned out exactly as you expected." Liao Ke said, "Invisible Cloak forfeited in the middle of the duo match, we killed the match early, and now the whole game is talking about the killer sequence, saying that it kind of set a precedent for early kills in the playoffs, and that the betting odds are the lowest we've ever been."
The lowest betting rate meant that the guild had the highest probability of winning, so betting on the guild to win to was not a big return - meaning that in the eyes of many viewers, the most likely team to win this year's championship was the Killer Sequence.
"What a high profile ......" Lu Yizhan headache, "would have liked to have practiced for the regatta."
"It can't be helped." Liao Ke consoled him, "You can't help it if it happened suddenly, but you don't have to worry about us being too high-profile, our discussion heat is high but not the highest."
Lu Yizhan asked back, "Bai Liu and his team?"
"Uh-huh." Liao Ke smiles, "I heard that Georgia came out and approached Bai Liu and pressed him about what he had done to him, saying that although he seemed calm, his tone was annoyed, that Bai Liu had lied to him about being his best friend or something."
"Said he stole his soul, and the whole place went into such a mess that the two parties almost came to blows."
"And then?" Lu Yizhan listened with interest, "What happened?"
Liao Ke nods, "Then Bai Liu logged out of the game with his entire team, leaving Georgia as if something terrible had been done to him, his face cold, saying that he would make sure Bai Liu paid him back, and then logged out of the game as well, presumably to look for Bai Liu in reality. "
"There are already rumors that Bai Liu lightened up Georgia during the game's dlc, and Georgia's looking for him to take charge yet."
Lu Yizhan : "...... == What is this outrageous rumor?"
"But there are quite a few people who believe it." Liao Ke spreads her hands, "We have a member of our guild who is convinced of the rumor."
"Spades was gone when we logged into the game, and Bai Yi said he logged out to look for Bai Liu, and that if he ran fast, he might just run into Georgia, who was looking for Bai Liu."
Lu Yizhan: "......"
It's finished!!!
Bai Liu's rental house.
"I really didn't have anything with him." Bai Liu calmly held up his hands, "I just played a normal game and beat him."
"But you're looking at him with lust." Spades clenched his fist in expressionless condemnation, "You're lusting after him."
Bai Liu shifted his gaze, his tone subtle, "...... Don't say it so strangely, I just crave his gold."
Why are you so perceptive when it comes to times like this when you usually look indifferent?
