Chapter 289: Dense Forest Borderland
Reverse God was quiet for about a minute or so, he raised his hand and rubbed his wooden stiff face and squeezed out a forced smile, "Mr. Bai Liu, you're joking ......"
Bai Liu interrupted the Adversary without hesitation, "You have a lie detector scale, right? You can take it out and try it."
Against the Gods: "......"
Bai Liu's attitude was so certain that the few Killer Sequence members who didn't believe in it at the beginning began to be shaken, they looked at each other for a long time, and finally Bai Jiamu reached out and took a balance out.
Bai Jiamu looked steadily at Bai Liu: "You married Spades yesterday?"
Bai Liu smiled without changing his face, "Yes."
The balance slowly tipped to the [True] side.
There was a long silence in the room, and Bai Jiamu, who was holding the scales, had an almost cracked expression on his face.
The Adversary slowly raised his hand to cover his face, took a deep, deep breath, and then lowered his hand again.
He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and in a tone that was as old as life, he went on to ask: "Did, did Spades force you to do it?"
Bai Liu was eerily silent for a moment, then replied, "Arguably."
The scales have tipped back to the [true] side.
Bai Jiamu's eyes almost looked as if he wanted to eat the unthinkable balance alive.
Again, Counter God raised his hand to cover his face, and he apologized with an arduous bow, "I'm sorry that Spades, our team's main attacker, has caused you so much trouble, Mr. Bai Liu."
"He, he might, he doesn't quite understand things like marriage, thinks it might be some kind of game or something, and doesn't mean to force you ...... " The Inverse God raised his head, trying to explain.
Bai Liu kindly interrupted the Adversary, "He forcibly used up eighteen boxes of condoms and asked me to treasure seven of them."
Once again, the scales tipped in favor of [True].
Bai Jiamu's face remained completely blank as he held up the scales in a stupor.
One of the team members behind Bai Jiamu who had been forcibly covering his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound couldn't help but let out a particularly loud breath of cold air, "Eighteen boxes! So many!"
The Adversary turned his head and smacked the team member on the head to shut him up, then took a deep breath and adjusted his distorted facial expression, conferring with the rest of the team in whispers:
"What to do, we didn't give Spades a physical hygiene lesson on sex before, and it still went this far, he forced himself on the other players!"
"I said I'd put him on then! He doesn't know anything, he's easily fooled by bad women!"
"When we saw the way Spades was treating Heart, we thought it was impossible to be fooled by a woman! He's met Heart a dozen times, and every time he's mistaken her for someone else."
"Bai Jiamu won't let me show Spades the movie! It's all Bai Jiamu's fault!"
"It won't help if you let it go, the guy's a guy, and all that heterosexual inventory of yours won't have any teaching effect on Spades."
"What's the first order of business? Spades forced the hand of this man, and this man came to my door!"
"Are we responsible? What's the normal procedure for this kind of thing where one of our own family screws an outsider, and the outsider comes to our door, and we send the other guy away?"
"Ohhhhhh! I know this!"
The Reverse God turned his head with a solemn expression, he crossed his hands against his knees and looked unfathomably straight at Bai Liu : "Mr. Bai Liu, here are five million points for you to leave Spades."
Bai Liu: "......"
After a brief moment of silence, Bai Liu replied quickly, "Five million credits are transferred to me now, and I promise not to harass Spades any further, and to forget about this marriage."
The Adversary God and Bai Jiamu behind him both had a lurch in their complexion - this was not quite what they had thought.
--Shouldn't it be an angry rant about how you guys can use money to insult my character or something like that towards?
Bai Liu, who didn't feel insulted by the five million points, smiled pleasantly, "But the more important thing about coming to you this time is that I want to cooperate with you to give Spades a painful lesson of failure, and I believe that's what you want."
Bai Liu said to this point, the Reverse God finally said with a straight face, "What are you going to do?"
The other end.
Alex sits silently in his wheelchair, his legs have been bandaged, and he is now sitting quietly at Guy's bedside, staring without a word at the unconscious, weakly breathing Guy in his hospital bed.
A nurse next to him reminded, "He was seriously injured, thirteen pieces of shrapnel were just removed from his body, the anesthesia effect hasn't worn off yet, he's still sleeping, you'll have to wait a while if you want to talk to him."
Alex shook his head softly, "No need for him to wake up."
"Can I have a moment alone with him?" Alex looked up at this nurse.
The nurse smiled understandingly, "Of course, I'll come change the medicine in an hour, will that be enough time?"
Alex nodded, "Thank you."
The nurse waved her hand to indicate that she was not to be thanked as she lifted the curtain and turned to leave.
Alex and Guy were the only two people left in the tent, and Alex sat quietly by the bed for a while before moving his wheelchair to the head of the bed after a long interval.
He reached down and lifted the white bedding, and Alex saw Guy's left hand at his side, the silver ring on his ring finger gleaming, untarnished by any stain.
Alex reaches out with his ringed left hand, as if to take Guy's left hand, but ends up just trembling and hovering over it for a long time.
Something invisible stopped Alex from clenching Guy's hand, even though it was a maneuver he'd done a thousand times before.
Alex took a deep breath as he averted his face and withdrew his hand, speaking to himself as he opened his mouth, "...... Guy, I know you've never been on my side, your heart belongs to the other side."
"- is on the side of the righteous, weak natives, and you told me a long time ago that you'd prefer to be a volunteer." Alex smiled miserably as he shook his head, "Even though your favorite person was killed by the natives, it still didn't change your opinion."
"Your your beloved, you are all of the noble class, all of you are good people, all of you have come here to dedicate yourselves to helping these backward natives get out of the hands of the nobility."
"You are so similar in your ideals, pursuits, origins, and even in your nobility."
Alex muttered, "If he hadn't died, you would have been made for each other."
"It's not my turn to get you, a poor boy who had to be carried back by you the first time he went to war."
Alex lowered his head, his hand resting on the covers and shaking Guy's hand very lightly under the covers, "But I love you just as much as he does, Guy."
His eyes gradually filled with tears, "...... I know he asked you to marry him before the accident, you never told me, but I knew it Guy, you're a guy who can't hide his words when he's drunk, you told me all about it."
"But you didn't say yes to him because you thought he deserved better than someone like you."
Alex's tears slid slowly down the side of his nose as he choked on the tone of his voice, "-so that day, he didn't want to go back after he failed to propose to you, and in a low mood, he went to check the factory's safety equipment just in time to run into those natives who were arguing in front of the factory."
"He died in that altercation with the ring he proposed to you with in his hand."
"His parents and brothers went mad, and after coming in a hurry beat and abused you, the man who had brought their son and brother to hell, and even locked you up in that factory, trying to burn you along with the natives who they thought had killed him."
"You escaped with the help of the natives who were imprisoned in there, and they knew you were the lover of the plant manager and threw everything they had into helping you escape in the first place, but when you tried to turn your head to help the natives, you were discovered by the security patrols."
"You were forcibly pulled away by patrols and watched the natives who had helped you burn."
Alex bowed his head against the edge of the hospital bed as he sobbed, "I know why you betrayed, Guy, you were tormented by the fires of that time all the time, you were blaming yourself for your cowardice, you were blaming yourself for running away, so you chose to marry me before the Great War - you didn't want to leave me with left a sorry end."
"But Guy, it shouldn't be like this ...... You don't deserve to die, and neither do they."
Alex's low, mournful voice echoed in the small tent, outside of which stood a line of grim-looking natives, who pressed themselves against the edge of the tent to eavesdrop, then spoke to each other in a heavily nasalized slang, with obvious hatred on their faces.
"That Guy in there, the one who just joined us today, is the one responsible for the death of his fellow factory workers in the first place!"
"He watched the companion who saved him burn!"
"What kind of relationship he has with that plant manager! He's just as much a rejected man of God as that plant manager! Both deserve to die!"
"He's just as much a hypocrite as that plant manager who wants to usurp my territory and make us slaves under the guise of helping us!"
"Without their presence, we wouldn't be so victimized at all."
"Kill him, this man who has been turned away from God, so that God's blessing will return to us again!"
A frenzied, violent impulse soon spreads among the traditional natives, and Bai Liu reaches the edge of the tent before the natives can lift the curtain and rush in to kill Guy.
Behind Bai Liu was the Reverse God, and to his right was Liu Jiayi, who looked tense.
Bai Liu spared a moment to scrutinize the eavesdropping natives and inquired in a friendly manner, "What can I do for you?"
This group of traditional natives seemed to be very afraid of Bai Liu, when they saw Bai Liu appearing, they bowed their heads, saluted and retreated, but in the process of retreating, these natives also kept glancing at the front tent with a kind of sinister gaze.
Bai Liu swept his imploring gaze over the natives, then turned and nodded a smile and goodbye to the goddess of disobedience before leading Liu Jiayi into Alex's tent.
Alex, after crying bitterly, fell asleep with his head resting on the side of Guy's bed, who seemed to be waking up, not sleeping very soundly, frowning as he murmured in his sleep, "...... Alex."
Bai Liu introduces the npc relationship to Liu Jiayi: "Alex, another mainline npc, and Guy, the person he married."
Liu Jiayi hugged her chest, tilted her head back to scrutinize Bai Liu from top to bottom, and asked rhetorically with a raised eyebrow, "I'm more curious now about you and your marriage partner, eighteen boxes of condoms?"
Bai Liu: "......"
Bai Liu coughed calmly, "Condom is the name for a special kind of balloon, and used eighteen boxes means he blew up eighteen boxes of balloons for me."
"Oh." Liu Jiayi slowly hopped towards the edge of the bed and sat down, her calves wobbling, "Do you think I have not received proper physiological knowledge science?"
Liu Jiayi smiled in a very good-natured and cute way, "The first lesson Heart taught me was about sex between any two human biological sexes, mostly so that I could circumvent some of the doggie players in this game who had developed a particular desire for me."
"Oh, and that sexual knowledge sometimes includes some very sexually powerful inhuman monsters." Liu Jiayi adds with a sweet smile, "After all, people are free to have fetishes like using eighteen boxes of condoms in one night, don't you think so, Bai Liu?"
Bai Liu: "......"
Heart, are you doing this right?
