Sheta sat down, he shook his head in silence, "Just call me Sheta."

There was another knock on the door of Fang Dian's office, and Fang Dian looked at Sheta, who shook her head to indicate that she didn't care, before Fang Dian looked up and responded, "Come in!"

Pushing in the door was Lu Yizhan, who was stunned to see Sheta sitting across from Fang Dian, "Spades is here too."

"Call it Spades, call it Sheta," Diane Fang corrected, "New world line, not old name."

"Okay." Lu Yizhan obeys the order, and quickly changes it with good grace, "Sheta's here, too."

"Old Lu, close the door, you also sit." Fang Dian saw the moment Lu Yizhan closed the door, instantly lost the serious image of a proper cross judgment army chief, and paralyzed backward on the office chair, his eyes lax, "...... so tired ah, finally all the heretics of the previous world line have been dealt with more or less, can rest a bit. I can take a break."

"Hard work." Lu Yizhan poured Fang Dian a glass of water with a bit of pain, "The number of heretics isn't as outrageous these days."

"The essence of heresy is evil desire." Fang Dian said while drinking water, "After Bai Liu closed the door, the desires from the opposite side could not spill over into this worldline, the heresies formed by the desires of all the people in a worldline would not be that many, within a normal range, although there are quite a few, at least they can barely be handled."

Dian Fang said, her smile fading.

When it came to the name Bai Liu, the expressions on everyone's faces disappeared.

Sheta got up abruptly, and he politely said goodbye, "I'll be heading back after I turn in my assignment."

Fang Dian watched Sheta leave with some apprehension, closing the door behind her, she covered her eyes and let out a long sigh, "The only people who still have memories of this reset world line are the three of us, you, me, and Sheta."

"I don't even know how you managed to retain the memories of the three of us from Bai Liu's hands." Lu Yizhan patted Fang Dian's shoulder and sighed as well.

Dian Fang replied, "Cheating, how else can I keep it, but only for three people."

"How do you cheat?" Lu Yizhan inquired curiously.

Fang Dian smiles, "Some unique cheating techniques."

"...... also don't know when Bai Liu will come back." Fang Dian said and melancholy, she lay back, looking at the ceiling, lost in thought, "After ten years after the reset, Bai Liu has not come back."

"I sometimes wonder if that plan of yours and Bai Liu's to cheat is really working?"

Lu Yizhan is half silent: "I don't know ......"

It was a very unsure plan from the beginning, Lu Yizhan didn't even know if Bai Liu would cooperate with him, and in the end he was even more surprised than Bai Liu when he chose to cooperate with him.

It's a cheating plan that began on the edge of a dense forest, when Bai Liu first met Lu Yizhan, the game's reverse god.

After Lu Yizhan saw the future, he was sure that Bai Liu would use all kinds of means to make them travel along this future, for example, Bai Liu became an evil god, Bai Liu killed him, since in the future, no matter how much they struggled, Bai Liu, the god, would intervene in them to go to this future, so why couldn't we play a drama of the future that Bai Liu would like to see for Bai Liu to see? Why can't we play out a future drama for Bai Liu to see?

Bai Liu gets the results he wants to see, and they decide the process they want.

--This process of what they want is the world line of [Dense Forest Borderlands].

Bai Liu in the dense forest borderland this world line, want to devolve to Bai Liu [evil god's heir] this identity, and the devolution of this identity, is required to the disappearance of the old god, so Lu Yizhan and Bai Liu acted from the inside out to play a play - a play is called to be forced to accept the [evil god's Successor] identity.

As long as Bai Liu accepts this identity, but not fully, then the old god of this world line is dead in name only, and the new god, which is Bai Liu, has not yet been born.

The old evil god has fallen and the new god has not yet been born, this is a godless world line, and the nominal evil god successor of this world line is Bai Liu, then Bai Liu is destined to get this world line.

Then as long as you get this world line, the subsequent Bai Liu even with Bai Liu prone, into the game stored in the system background soul blocked the door, he still has half of the soul in his own hands - that is, in the orphanage, the little Bai Liu sold him the soul.

-That's his soul, too.

Bai Liu Just by using this half-soul to re-land from the worldline of the dense forest frontier, he can completely wash away his identity as an evil god, and instead of becoming a vessel for all his desires, he can return to the worldline as a normal human being.

But here's the problem ......

Lu Yizhan sipped his tea very sadly: "This plan of cheating has many changes."

"It's true that we didn't expect Cen Buming and Daniel to get out of hand in the middle of us, and everything that followed just completely fell apart."

Lu Yizhan paused, "I'm not exactly sure how much sanity Bai Liu maintained at the end, whether he remembered the plan, or even if he could have blocked the door well enough to remember that he was Bai Liu, a human being, not an evil god, or a key to a locked door."

"There's a lot of people here waiting for him."

"I hope he finds his way back."

"It's coming up to the point in time where he entered the game in the first place." Lu Yizhan let out a long breath as he stared blankly at his own reflection in the teacup, "That's the last worldline archive point that can be fused in with the dense forest frontier."

"Miss it and he'll never come back."

Sheta returns home alone, having bought the small house with the bonus and salary given to him by the Heretic Authority - the rented house where he lived with Bai Liu back in the day.

He clumsily followed his memory and decorated the house to look like that.

But the people he lived with are gone.

Sheta opens the closet, and hanging in it, besides the Heretic Authority uniform, is a very large and worn long skinny ghostly leather puppet suit, Sheta looks at the jacket in silence, he goes to take a shower, removes his contact lenses, changes into the jacket, and then slowly makes a show of himself with someone else in his arms to hug, and collapses on the bed, just staring straight at the empty Location.

Bai Liu ......

I have well in pain.

When are you coming back?

The stars in the sky spun, aligning themselves in some sort of trajectory, giving off a strange silvery-blue glow as a shooting star slid down.

Mu Sicheng, who was in a deep sleep, had his eyelids fluttered, and he fell into a strange dream world, where he dreamed of many demons and monsters, of Yuan Qingqing's death, and of many things that were so real that they were unbelievable, so real that it seemed as if he had actually experienced them-

--dreamed of a strange man reaching out to him, wearing a white shirt.

[- Yes, I'll always be your friend.]

Mu Sicheng's eyes snapped open.

Liu Jiayi, who had just come out of an interview in the studio, received the mineral water handed over by her parents, her eyes suddenly grayed out for a moment, and then she paused in the act of drinking the water.

"This neighborhood ......" Liu Jiayi looked up very slowly to her parents, "has red bean cakes?"

Her mom looked at her all scared, "Why are you crying Jiayi?"

"Did I cry?" Liu Jiayi unconsciously shed tears as she covered her heart and mumbled in a trance, "I don't know ......"

"I just have a sudden craving for red bean cake."

Mu Ke, who was glamorous and surrounded by people at the party, held his glass of red wine and looked down at the coy bastard son, and then looked at his father, who flaunted his financial ability everywhere, and the annoyance in his heart arrived at the peak in an instant.

...... might as well get a heart attack and leave this life early.

At least getting a heart attack will meet ......

Mu Ke was suddenly struck dumb as the idea flashed through his mind.

Will meet ...... who?

Tang Er fought his way back to the Heresy Authority, his grim face clasping his chest as he watched over the heretics, the interrogation room across the street was empty, no one had been in there for a long time, the last person who had been brought in for interrogation was Cen Buming.

He didn't like the interrogation room and never went in, which Cen Buming used to mock him several times in a conspiratorial manner.

If normally, Tang Er hit by Cen Buming so taunted what, he did not matter, but is the interrogation room ......

Tang Er hit gaze settled on the interrogation room as he took a deep breath.

He always felt that he had, somewhere, done something very bad and subjected a person to something very tragic.

But he's never been in an interrogation room.

Who is ...... this person who has given him an unforgettable guilt and debt in his heart?

Sheta opened his eyes the next day with more bruises on his muppets, the house in front of him took on some indefinable popularity, the books in the study spread themselves out and appeared with fruit trays and melons he'd never bought before, the four corners of the table appeared gnawed, and on the bottom tier of the refrigerator, there were two expired Cutex.

His pupils shrank.

...... This is ...... world lines are overlapping?

Sheta rushes out, his mind goes blank as he looks around the world.

So where would Bai Liu be?

No more mermaids are placed in the wax museums in the small town of Serenity, thieves on the last last train each night are caught red-handed in the act of stealing, the idols in the churches in the dilapidated orphanages have collapsed, and the scent of perfume in the rose factories has become mildly bland.

The moment when time and destiny intersected, and the fallen gods bestowed happiness on the Old Believers.

And the Old Believers never forget.

"Fellow Mu Sicheng, now it's time for a birthday celebration, where are you running to!"

"Jiayi, Jiayi kiddo, the interview is about to start, the studio is over there, Jiayi kiddo! Where are you going?"

"Mu Ke young master, later the master will come to talk to you about the stock allocation rights of the Mu Group, this meeting is very important, you must talk to the master ...... Mu Ke young master you people?!"

"Team Tang, wait, let's go rob the second team's heresy out of gas! You agreed with us yesterday ...... eh, where's Team Tang?"

Hearts lurking under glaciers, sparks flying in dense forests.

I hate you.

I love you.

"This is the Heresy Disposal Bureau, Antarctic Bureau Four! Hello Mr. Spades, may I ask if you would like us to send a special plane to pick you up and bring you here on a mission?"

"Has ...... seen any new people?"

"That's not true."

The evil god trades feelings and pain for sacrifices, and on the shrine, the floating anchor is fished up for the first time to a reality other than a game.

"The Heretic Authority branch on this side of Deerfield County hasn't seen any suspicious persons appearing either, Mr. Spades."

"Wearing a white shirt and suit pants, about 176, good looking, do you have a portrait? If so, we'll post a missing person notice for you then."

"So that you don't have to call and come and ask every day."

Thinking she has not been shown affection, the foolish anchor stubbornly travels through time to the past and meets the lonely teenager under Qiao Mu.

"Hello, this is Qiao Mu Private High School."

"It's you again."

"...... We assure you that there really hasn't been a student named Bai Liu enrolled in our school Oh, are you remembering the wrong school? Please don't call again."

Verified over and over again, disappointed over and over again, the devotee begins to wonder if the gods have deceived him.

Is he really coming back?

Sheta, who had spent the entire night running around to all the addresses, and as usual had no luck, prepared to go back to the rental house as a matter of course, but the moment he inserted the key into the door, Sheta was struck with fear - the counter-lock that he had left behind before he left had been unlocked.

He pushed the door open.

The man standing next to the window, dressed in a white shirt and suit pants, stared blankly at the man who was looking at him with a big smile in the rising daylight.

Bai Liu stood against the light, his eyebrows arched in a smile:

"I'm back."

"Want to get together for fondue tonight?"
