The Drowned Man from the Future

At the same time, Cen Buming finally reached out his hand and held Bai Liu's hand, speaking indifferently, "There is nothing to say between us."

"There doesn't need to be much conversation between the executioner and the person being executed."

Cen Buming withdrew his hand, he turned to leave, Bai Liu looked at Cen Buming's far away back with downcast eyes, the feeling of having been clucked by the death knell still lingered in his palm.

Bai Liu didn't choke like he did before, but rather calmly watched Cen Buming go.

--This man is serious.

He really turned on him.

"Prepare to log into the game." Bai Liu returned to his team, his tone was flat, "Do whatever it takes to snipe the Joker with all your might."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in the affirmative, except for Mu Sicheng, who followed up with a somewhat confused question, "Bai Liu, you've only told us the focus of our siege, and you haven't told us who the other side's focus of their siege is?"

Bai Liu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he looked at all the players looking straight at him, he gave a beat, "Not sure yet, let's talk about it after entering the game."

"It can't be you?!" Mu Sicheng is a bit nervous, "Shit!"

"No." Tang Er hit shook his head with certainty, "Bai Liu will be the safest person in this copy."

"Because the Joker didn't have the means to shoot him."

"I think so." Liu Jiayi replied after some serious thinking, "I asked Phoebe and she said that Daniel really likes Bai Liu, so much that he's jealous of all the team members around Bai Liu."

"- Along those lines, it should be more likely that the people around Bai Liu were sniped by the Joker."

It was obvious that they were hearing such dangerous news, but everyone was inexplicably relieved.

"That's good." Mu Ke laughed very softly, a rare moment when he laughed so genuinely, "We can go to war without shooting at Bai Liu."

"I have reservations about that, after all, there's not only the Joker on the other side, but also [Executioner]." Bai Liu's tone was calm as he walked towards the boarding portal on the other side of the big screen, "Stay alert and get into the game."

Everyone's previously playful expressions disappeared and became heavy the moment they were about to log into the game.

Mu Sicheng had been exhaling and exhaling, the look that had been relaxed and loud just a moment ago was not visible at all, his hand was about to be unable to move due to his nervous stiffness, Mu Ke clutched his dagger and lowered his eyes, walking with footsteps that were slightly heavier than usual, Liu Jiayi repeatedly opened the system panel and confirmed his healing skill with a solemn expression on his face.

Everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from the skills of Daniel the Clown.

...... Even if it is swallowed by Cen Buming's [Sinner's Well], the worst result is that the exemption gold medal is invalid and dies, but as long as the follow-up points are enough and the soul exists, there is still a chance of resurrection, but if it is hit by the soul crushing gun, then there is really no room for any turnaround.

Even the game, can't save a player from being soul crushed.

Tang Er could not have been clearer about that.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly unclenching his fists that had been clenched all the way and were starting to go numb as he tried to calm his muddled brain down.

...... Daniel actually on the same team as Cen Buming, which simply overturned his perception, although each world line has a different point of change, but never such a large fluctuation change.

The change is simply comparable to the fact that he, a hunter, joined Bai Liu's team.

Was it a coincidence? Was it the butterfly effect of him joining Bai Liu's team? Why is Cen Buming on Daniel's team? What is he doing?

But it was simply useless to think about this now; it was imperative to win the other side in order to explore the answers to these questions.

Tang Er opened his deep blue eyes as he stared at Bai Liu's back as he walked into the entrance of the boarding gate, gripping the gun in his hand -

-This time, he would never let his tactician, touch that bullet in front of him.

[...... is loading the game ......]

[System alert: Both players landed on the game "Drowned Man from the Future"]

[(Deer Hunter) vs. (Wandering Circus), a five-man team match, officially begins.]

Bai Liu opened his eyes, he was suspended in a deep and infinite dark-colored universe, or more precisely, he was hovering in a spacesuit, equipped with safety connectors on his waist, not far from a space station, his side Fang Ke to see a huge spacecraft connected to the station.

And around and behind him, this vast and silent space was not what he had seen the universe look like before in books or picture books, but consisted of many earths, orbiting this huge spaceship according to some law, no meteor belts, no differently shaped stellar spheres, just one thing - earths shrouded in a halo of light.

--exactly the same worldline in the shape of a ball of light that Bai Liu had once shown him.

In the back of these "earth", is scattered, broken star halo, these halos are slightly silver-blue, straight look at a long time to make people feel dizzy, very uncomfortable, let a person feel like sinking into some kind of deep sea, give birth to a kind of drowning feeling.

Bai Liu soon realized that looking directly at these silvery-blue halos for long periods of time would bring down one's mental values, and he squinted - the familiar glow reminded him of a certain god.

[System note: You are a player who has jumped the world line and come outside of it.]

[God rejoices in your growth and welcomes you as He presents you with His supreme masterpiece, (the game system).]

[Activate the main quest: Please land on the ship, find the key on the ship, take control of this ship, and fly to where the center of the world line intersects - the place where the temple is located.]

"...... Please return to the hatch." A mechanical announcement came over Bai Liu's spacesuit's internal radio, "Oxygen depletion imminent, please return to the hatch."

Bai Liu turned his helmet and looked through the transparent faceted window structure to the hatch attached to the end of the safety cable that was moving slowly; he gripped the cable and pulled inward, floating lightly to the hatch opening and retracting into it.

The hatch closed and a mechanical voice came from the top, "Scanning, adjusting to environment in progress, activating gravity and air systems to simulate a biological survival environment, do not remove spacesuits ......"

"Simulation complete, please enter the interior."

A puff of white air rises from the bottom, the sense of levitation in Bai Liu's body disappears instantly, a gravitational pull on his feet appears, the sense of weightlessness disappears, he lands on the ground, another hatch opens in front of him, Bai Liu walks towards the interior of the station, and the log-in module behind him closes, revealing to Bai Liu the interior of an entire precision-operated spaceship.

Looking right past it, there is an entire metallic mesh corridor, and various types of mechanical arms can be seen in operation, with the arms placing something in a square onto another assembly line, and another arm putting a stamp on it - [Object of Transportation: 0616 Worldline Reality].

[Transportation: Dried Leaf Rose Graft (Heresy)]

Bai Liu slowly unscrewed his own helmet and hung it aside as he headed inside the large factory-like spaceship, his eyes drooping as he surveyed what was being produced on each assembly line.

[Object of Transportation: 0408 World Line (game).]

[Transportation: Flaming Torch (prop)]

[Transportation: Bubbles in the water (props)]

"Bai Liu--!" From far away, came the sound of Mu Sicheng running, panting as if he was afraid Bai Liu would touch something on the assembly line, exclaiming, "Don't touch those things!"

"I won't touch it." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng who ran to him and raised his eyebrows, "You touched it?"

Mu Sicheng has marks on his face from being attacked by a robotic arm and abrasions on the sides of his face, he grimaces, "I ran into it when I was running too fast."

"The mechanical arm here is one that attacks people, I originally thought it was a monster from the monster book and fought the mechanical arm for a while in order to trigger the monster book, but it turned out that it wasn't, it was simply a mechanical arm."

"This copy doesn't need to trigger the monster book." Bai Liu gathered his eyes back from those production items on the assembly line and spoke in a calm tone, "This entire airship, is the backend of the system."

"Every box we've seen is a monster."

"The backstage of the system ......?!" Mu Sicheng was shocked, "You mean this place, is the backstage of the system?!"

"Then why are we logged in?!"

Bai Liu quickly realized something was wrong as he turned his head to Mu Sicheng : "Didn't you receive the system prompt?"

"The background introduction to this place is [the system backstage]."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu confused : "No ......"

"We didn't get any system alerts, we were just told to go cooperate with you to find the key to get to the top level and then let you get control of this ship."

"It's clear that you're being asked to accompany me to the topmost level, isn't it?" Bai Liu's tone was surprisingly calm, "I'm the only one who can accomplish this, none of you can, right?"

Mu Sicheng looked over at Bai Liu, who nodded a little dazedly, "...... Yes."

"It was made clear that it was to accompany [player Bai Liu] up to the top level and get control of the ship."

He had never seen Bai Liu s face so ...... ugly.

"What about you guys?" Bai Liu stared at Mu Sicheng, "What are the identities assigned to you in this game?"

Mu Sicheng also sensed something wrong from Bai Liu's attitude, he clicked on his system panel and handed it to Bai Liu to see, "It's this."

And the moment Bai Liu saw the identity on Mu Sicheng's panel, his pupils tightened.

[System Alert: Mu Sicheng was stripped of his player status after jumping out of the world line]

[Re-verification of identity.]

[Real ID: 0658 Worldline Transportation Product, Humanoid Heretic, No. 0004--]

Mu Sicheng, the capuchin thief.]

[System ship backstage soul storage location - level one.]

Bai Liu's breathing stopped.

--This ship, this system backend, not only produces and transports heretics, monsters and props to all world lines, but also stores the souls of all the players who have ever entered this game.

Liu Jiayi, Mu Sicheng, Tang Er 打, Mu Ke, Lu Yizhan ...... The souls of these people, he owns half.

This system backstage, owns the other half.

[System Warming Note: When you own this ship, you own the system itself.]

The last ticket to become an evil god.

...... It's not even a game.

Bai Liu slowly turned his head as he looked out the transparent window at the 658 [Earths] that were orbiting this ship, the dark pupils of his eyes reflecting the silvery-blue color of space - it was 658 worldlines.

--he landed on the reality that leads to the ultimate [future].
