The Drowned Man from the Future

Sinner's Well.

Bai Liu, legs folded, arms crossed, sits on top of the towering monster's dead body as if he were sitting on a throne, and smiles as he tilts his head to look down at Bai Liu: "I've cleaned the inside of the Sinner's Well in order to welcome you."

"Of course by the look on your face, you don't seem to like it here much."

"Oh yes, the first time you saw me in the fifth building, you had the same expression." Bai Liu tilted his head slightly, his smile becoming friendly, "Of course, now your expression is much more emotionally revealing-"

"Are you in, hating me?"

"By the way, as far as I'm concerned as a god, I never tell lies, remember the friendly reminder I gave you back in the fifth building?"

Bai Liu's right hand curled against his jaw, he let out a soft laugh with his eyes downcast, "I say, the first person to die, will be Mu Sicheng."

The moment his words fell, a burning sensation suddenly came from inside Bai Liu's gloves, his fingertips were burned, his expression froze, and he instantly turned his gloves into a wallet.

The wallet was opened, and Bai Liu saw the soulful banknote with Mu Sicheng printed on it was burning fast, and then turned into ashes.

Bai Liu paused as he maintained his pose with his wallet open.

Ashes fluttered down the cracked seams of the old wallet.

"Bai Liu, do you know what you look like now?" Bai Liu's eyelids drooped indifferently, the corners of his mouth carried a very shallow smile, "You look like a vagabond who lost an insignificant coin, and then picked at it, kneeling down to look for it for half a day."

"--a poor tramp, with only so many usable coins, and still, because he could not bear to keep them unused in his wallet, looked after every one of them with all its glitter."

"But no matter how much you look after them, coins are just coins, they're only worth so much and won't increase in value just because you can't afford to part with them, instead they'll still take up space in your wallet."

"They don't deserve to stay in your wallet, make room and give up these burdens."

"You'll be able to put more, more valuable bills in your wallet."

Bai Liu flung his hand violently to the right, throwing out a white bone whip as his emotionless mask of expression finally completely disintegrated, revealing a hideous interior, "Do not call them worthless banknotes in front of me!!!"

"They're people, they're souls!!!"

The white bone whip was thrown over fiercely, lifting up all the monsters, Bai Liu jumped down from the high monster mountain, he laughed and drew out his black bone whip, aiming at Bai Liu and threw it down.

"It's a person, it's a soul, so what?"

Bai Liu smiled softer and softer, "It's just a toy for the gods."

"To exist or to perish is but a thought, a word from God."

The black whip struck the white bone whip, and the unreduced force directly pushed Bai Liu, who was flinging the whip, out and crashed into the bottom of the well, and Bai Liu was shaken to the point that his whole body was scattered, and the sound of bones cracking and breaking came from him.

Bai Liu curls the whip with one hand, gathers it, and walks nonchalantly towards Bai Liu, who has fallen to the ground, with a smirk in his voice, "--like right now."

"I say it will be Mu Ke who dies."

"--Then he would really be dead."

Spaceship.

Everyone was stunned, Cen Buming looked towards the place where Mu Sicheng had collapsed, his expression was frozen, as if he had not expected things to go in this direction, Liu Jiayi and Tang Er fought completely frozen in place, they saw the whole process of Mu Sicheng's soul breaking up from close range, and simply... ...

Can't get over that.

Everything is out of control.

Mu Ke's afterglow swept towards the spot where Mu Sicheng had collapsed earlier, his brain was emotionally tumultuous and misplaced, but when he lifted his sight and saw Bai Liu's still-sleeping face, his mind was emptied of all but one thought-

--He's gonna get Bai Liu out of this game alive.

So the emotions were suspended, and the mind began to run again at an almost brutal command.

Cen Buming's Sinner's Well skill has already been used once, and the next cd is in thirty minutes, so it's not a threat for now, but Joker is clearly out of control, his skill cd is fifteen minutes long, and he's still able to keep attacking Bai Liu and the others with his pummel for those fifteen minutes.

Mu Ke gathered his thoughts as he thought calmly - as an assassin, he was going to kill the most threatening opponent to the team.

--Just like Bai Liu usually commands.

[System Alert: Player Mu Ke uses skill (Flash Strike)]

Mu Ke raised his dagger and prepared to go into flashback, thinking that his expression at the moment would be calm, cruel, even hideous, but if he had a mirror he would have realized that his expression at the moment was like the surface of a lake without wind and waves, very calm and composed-

--It's like Bai Liu's usual expression.

[I'm here, just leave it to me.]

Bai Liu was always like that, with Bai Liu around, they didn't have to worry about anything, just clumsily breaking in, reckless, growing up quickly in the most dangerous game, Mu Ke just had to turn around to see Bai Liu standing not far behind them, with calm eyes, guarding next to them.

--obviously a guy about his age who always seemed so reassuring.

Mu Ke is a person who is very afraid of death, from the moment he entered the game, his greatest fear is to die, in order not to die can kneel in front of a small TV, begging others to save themselves, three months ago, he would not have thought that he would be a person's assassin, and willingly by the other side time and time again as a bargaining chip to utilize thrown, to die in exchange for the team's greatest interests.

He hated that, as a heart patient with only twenty years to live, he hated the idea of someone else sharing and taking advantage of his life, it was the most precious thing he had.

But Bai Liu can.

Because Bai Liu would never really let him die.

So he was really willing to die for Bai Liu.

Mu Ke stepped into the flash, and he was as righteous as he had been before, without looking back.

In the next second, Mu Ke stepped out from the flash, he appeared behind Daniel, his eyes were cold and cold, the dagger in his hand was flashing with sharp light, Daniel could not react fast enough, he was stabbed in the throat by Mu Ke's falling dagger, and blood spurted out, staining his clown mask red.

"It's you?!" Daniel's face snapped to a twisted and angry expression as he realized the person behind him was Mu Ke, "Mu Ke?!"

--his most hated competitor!

A coward who is incompetent and greedy for the meaning given by the Godfather! Completely unable to live without the Godfather!

Mu Ke's attack is so powerful it takes your breath away, Daniel is caught off guard and is soon drenched in color, but he is soon frantic as well, Daniel shows an odd grin not dissimilar to the one on his clown mask as he gathers his sniper rifle in his hand and takes aim at Mu Ke once more.

"This bullet, which I have reserved especially for you, was also given to me by the Godfather." Daniel smiled wryly, "It would be an honor for you to die with this round, die when you deserve to die."

The sniper rifle in Daniel's hand suddenly emitted a silver-blue color, and at the same time, the outer ring of the glove on Bai Liu's hand, who was protected by Tang Er and moving downward, suddenly lit up with the same color.

Liu Jiayi turned his head to look at the outer ring of the glove, pupils tightened - this is when they went to Hua Gan will be there to refine weapons, the residue of the furnace refined in Bai Liu's gloves on the outer ring, they used a lot of ways have not been removed, this ring is the core of Daniel's soul sniper rifle! This outer ring is the core part of Daniel's soul sniper rifle, Mu Sicheng also open ridicule that the clown is what god licking dog, how are not able to take off.

--It's like Bai Liu is clinging to Bai Liu's soul.

Liu Jiayi looked up sharply at Mu Ke, who was fighting with Daniel in front of her, and the moment her tender voice called out, it brought out a crying tone, "Run! Mu Ke!"

Tang Er, who was covering Liu Jiayi's back, quickly realized what was going on, drew his gun, aimed it at Mu Ke's back, and fired through gritted teeth.

-As long as he clears Mu Ke out before Daniel does, Mu Ke won't have his soul shattered!

[System Alert: Heretic Clown approaches Desire Core player Bai Liu, receives stimulus, skill changes - (Soul Shattering Gun) skill can be reset once without cooldown.]

The green light gathered again in the muzzle of the gun, the silver-white rose bullets flew in the air towards Mu Ke's head, Daniel's eyes glanced at the silver bullets flying one after another, he did a crazy act that no one expected, he still let Mu Ke's dagger into his heart, turned around and blocked the bullets coming from Tang Er for Mu Ke, and then laughed maniacally with a mouth full of blood. Then, with his mouth full of blood, he laughed maniacally, and pointed the gun at Mu Ke's heart--

--shot.

"Die!!!"

Mu Ke's ever-calm eyes were empty for a moment, then widened as sparks quickly spread across his heart.

"You tried to kill me!" Daniel, however, laughed and raged uncontrollably, the two intense emotions rushing across his face in an extraordinarily frantic manner, "You're just a tired man who won't live long enough to compete with me for a place at my godfather's side!"

It wasn't enough for him to fire one shot, as if it was sadistic, he took the sniper rifle and swept it frantically at the limbs of Mu Ke, who was down on the ground, and whose body was jolted by the clown's sweeps, bouncing around on the ground.

"Die die die die!"

Tang Er hit his eyes so red they were dripping blood, he wanted to step forward and stop this, this that had happened to Su Yang, but as he approached he saw Mu Ke, who had fallen to the ground, turn his head with great effort, his expression still shallow, his pupils lax, and mouthing word after word to him:

[Take him away.]

[Leave me alone.]

Tang Er's footsteps stopped, he paused for only two seconds, turned around, picked up Bai Liu with one hand, and brought up the crying Jiayi with the other, and walked downward, his veins rippling all over his body.

Mu Ke has Daniel's memories! He guessed that Daniel's skills could probably be reset!

He did it on purpose!

It was only in the moment when he saw Tang Er fight and lead Bai Liu into the elevator, and the doors slowly closing, that Mu Ke finally and completely relaxed the last shred of nerves he was trying to tense up, and his clenched dagger hand loosened in a flash before being crushed by Daniel's footsteps, but he didn't even feel it anymore.

Mu Ke looked laxly at the top of the ship, his thoughts drifting far, far away.

...... only survived until now ah, but in addition to not accompany Bai Liu to get the title, seems to have no regrets.

He had been so afraid of death, but in this moment he did feel a surprising peace of mind, remembering the first time he had seen Bai Liu, because he had laid him off, Bai Liu's dark eyes couldn't hide their distaste as he looked at him, but nonetheless he held out his hand and said, "This is the second time you've seen me, but it looks like you don't remember me. "

"But it's okay, we're in a brand new relationship now."

Mu Ke clutched Bai Liu's hand at that time, just to be able to live a little longer, he is a coward who can give up everything in order to live, so before he met Bai Liu, his mantra was always - [If I could do it all over again, I would not want to be a heart attack patient, I would not want to be what's going on. ]

He's sick of everything in his world and always tries to do everything over again because he doesn't want to die and feels that by doing it over he can avoid death.

But now that the moment of death has come, Mu Ke is in a trance, thinking--

--If he had to do it all over again, he would have to have a heart attack too, to go into the game because of it, to bawl his eyes out in the game because of his fear, and then catch Bai Liu's eye with the desire to survive the moment he passes by, and then follow him again when Bai Liu reaches out to him, and then tell him that --

--I knew I was about to get the short life I dreaded most.

But I am no longer afraid.

I'll be an assassin, brave enough to protect you until the end.

Please, take my cowardly soul, will you?

[System alert: Player Mu Ke's soul is shattered, death confirmed, exit the game.]
