Chapter 456: Evil God Festival - Boathouse

Xiao Kui, stopped by his sister's panicked shouts, ran back down the path he had taken to get off the mountain without looking back.

Under the unextinguishable blazing fire, the sound of weapons fighting with each other and the sound of wood being burned to the point of bleeping and cracking resonated through the mountains and forests.

Covering her mouth and nose, Xiao Kui looked up at the highest shrine under a wave of heat and ash, took two deep breaths, clenched her fists and continued running upwards.

Inside the Shrine.

Bai Liu, dragging a bloodstained whip in his right hand, coldly pushed open the door of the shrine with two fingers of his left hand.

The heavy wooden door of the shrine opened slowly.

Bai Liu grips the whip, and he smiles as he stabs Taville's neck, which is heavily entangled in dense silk threads, with the sharp bone of the whip in his right hand, forcing Taville to lean back.

Black bone spikes dug into the skin of Taville's pale, thin neck, and bright red blood slid down the front of his body, dripping one by one onto Taville's bloodstained white tunic.

Taville's silver-blue eyes were weakly half-lidded as he looked up at Bai Liu standing in the doorway, his voice hoarse from the chokehold on his throat from the whip in Bai Liu's hand, "You're finally here."

"I thought, you wouldn't come today."

Bai Liu's eyes rested on Sheta's neck, which had been pierced with bone spikes and was gurgling blood, and he spoke in a calm tone, but the whip in his hand was clenched until his fingertips turned white, "Why did you think I wouldn't come?"

"You spoke to me." Taville bent her eyes and smiled very, very lightly, "I thought you left with your white horse, Wang Zi. "

His silver-blue eyes sparkled, looking intently at Bai Liu, his tone serious, as if expecting something, "Are you coming to me now, are you ready to choose me as your white horse Wang Zi?"

"What a wonderful fairy tale." Bai Liu smiled at Bai Liu as the whip he had stuck around Sheta's neck tightened in his hand, "I see how you managed to make Sheta suffer for you."

Bai Liu's playful eyes flicked back and forth between Bai Liu and Sheta, finally resting on the bloodied side of Sheta's face, her eyes drooping and the corners of her mouth quirking:

"You trained it, you went out of your way to make a monster, fall in love with you."

"What a whole new way of solving problems."

Bai Liu smiles, as if exchanging gaming tips with Bai Liu in a very relaxed scenario: "I'm curious how you did it?"

"-to make such an evil creation that can remember all the memories of the world line and has no human nature or human feelings fall in love with you?"

"What even God is not capable of doing."

Bai Liu raised his eyes and scrutinized Bai Liu across the table with amusement, "--Why are you able to do that?"

Bai Liu did not answer him, his right hand swung a whip down at Bai Liu without hesitation, at the same time, his left hand reached forward and put his hand between Bai Liu's whip and Sheta's neck, his palm curved back to protect Sheta's neck for a moment, and then his backhand ripped away Bai Liu's black bone whip.

Bai Liu sidestepped the white bone whip that Bai Liu swung down at him, a smile on his face but no emotion at all in his eyes, he tightened his right hand and gathered the bone whip that Bai Liu had ripped away from wrapping around Sheta's neck once again, at the same time his wrist twisted inward and the bone spikes flared outward, lodging themselves even deeper in Sheta's skin.

The white tunic around Sheta's neck was all wet with blood, and the bone spikes that pierced deep into his throat prevented him from even making a sound.

"It is recommended that you don't just tug on this kind of bone whip with barbs." Bai Liu smiles and turns his head sideways to Bai Liu, "It'll rip the head right off."

Bai Liu's eyes swept coldly, a kind of aggressiveness very rare in him, very exposed from his dark eyes revealed, his right hand holding the bone whip loosened, the moment he turned his hand forward, the bone whip in his hand turned into a sharp knife, with a lightning speed from Bai Liu's neck that he had narrowly avoided, and was about to cut off Bai Liu's head! Bai Liu's head was about to be cut off!

A strand of black hair was picked off from Bai Liu's temples, and it fell to the ground in a leisurely spiral, with a few drops of blood smashing onto the falling strands of hair.

Bai Liu slowly straightened his head, which he had tilted over to avoid, and then lifted his eyelids as he stuck out his tongue and licked the blood that dripped down the left side of his face, his eyes gradually becoming excited, "That's what makes it fun, big brother."

"Let me see more, what interesting skills will I have in the future, right?"

Before his words fell, Bai Liu didn't stop at all, he pulled the black bone whip strangling Sheta's neck with his left hand, and then his body's force raised outward to tear away the black bone whip hanging on Sheta's neck, and at the same time, his waist was strong, and he rolled over to kick Bai Liu's spine fiercely.

Bai Liu resisted Bai Liu's kick with a hard shoulder, blood seeping out of the corner of his mouth with a smile, he didn't protect himself at all, instead he gave a quick tug on the black bone whip he was controlling around Sheta's neck, sending Sheta and Bai Liu who had his hand guarding Sheta's neck flying from the tug.

Bai Liu followed this force and pulled Bai Liu's right foot that was stuck on his shoulder and pushed it backward, the whip went along with the blind spot of Bai Liu's field of vision that was rolled over backwards.

A large hole in the wooden floor was cut in the ground by a black bone whip with bone spikes all over it, and on either side of the large hole the wooden floor flipped open so that a pond could be seen directly below the large hole.

The goldfish inside the pond were swimming around senselessly, the water light on the surface of the pond and the fireworks reflected down in the black night sky reflected together, lining these leisurely swimming goldfish as if they were swimming in the night sky of the summer festival full of gorgeous fireworks.

Bai Liu was half kneeling on one knee next to this big hole, his back was straight, his waist was only less than five centimeters away from a sharp bone spur that was beaten and erected behind him, he was holding the black bone whip with one hand, and he lifted his eyes to look coldly at Bai Liu who was standing on the other side of the big hole.

Bai Liu looked at the black leather gloves that appeared out of thin air on Bai Liu's hands with amusement, "Short blade, gloves, so a variant type of skill weapon I have?"

"Or-" Bai Liu grinned, "can I utilize my own skill weapon and use someone else's?"

Before he could finish his question, Bai Liu simply and sharply threw the short knife in his hand and flew over, Bai Liu smoothly dodged sideways, and the short knife that brushed past the side of Bai Liu's neck directly spun in the air and transformed into a bottle of poison.

The poison was thrown off the cap during the spinning process and fell into the pool behind Bai Liu in a state of poisonous effusion.

The pool was instantly dyed bubbling black, and the thick poisonous mist rose up to the sky, Bai Liu clearly heard the sound of his life bar jumping down at a rapid pace, but he didn't care at all, but in the moment when the short sword went out, he instantly summoned the white bone whip in his right hand and gripped it tightly, and then struck the bone whip out without the slightest pause at all.

The White Bone Whip flung itself along the large hole Bai Liu had just punched out, lifting the entire wooden slat Bai Liu was standing on into the air.

"Flop-!!!"

Bai Liu heard a clear sound of falling water, and it was obvious that Bai Liu had fallen into the pond where he had just thrown the poisonous mist.

After completing this entire set of his usual combos, Bai Liu got up, sidestepped and moved swiftly in the direction Sheta had just been thrown over, all the while sweeping the pond below out of the corner of his eye, the whip in his hand turning into a gun and firing rapidly at every bubble that bubbled up.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang-!!!"

Bai Liu stood in front of Sheta, facing the pond with a cold expression. Although there was no movement in the pond, the gun in his hand was still not lowered, and he was still alertly aiming at the pond.

The planks under his feet swayed slightly, Bai Liu's eyes glazed over, and he fired six rapid shots at the planks under his own feet, then lifted his hand to change the magazine on the chamber, then lowered his sight, and the gun was aimed in the direction of the water swaying under the planks, and he fired six more times with cold precision.

The silver shells tinkled and fell.

This continuous ranged attack doesn't collect hits until the first system beep rings in Bai Liu's ears.

[System alert: Player Bai Liu hit player Bai Liu with skill weapon (Rose Revolver).]

There was blood water spreading out under the dark water waves, Bai Liu's sight instantly localized to the place where the blood water spread out in the dark colored pond, a strong aggression came out from his pure black eyes, just like a scaly dragon fish that was angered by its prey, it would not leave any leeway for the prey that was ready to counterattack or run away, and steadily and accurately, he once again opened his huge mouth full of poisonous stinging fangs, aiming at the prey's wound and biting it down once again.

Bai Liu raised his left hand, calmly, with dark eyes, aimed at the spot where the blood had spread and pulled the trigger.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang--!!!"

A crisp six shots, emptying the grab gate, lifting his hand to change the gate, moving his aiming sight along the spot where Scarlet had moved, shifting his shoulder back to ease the recoil, and then pulling the trigger for another six shots.

"Bang, bang, bang--! Bang Bang Bang--!!!"

Bai Liu A system beep sounded in his ear:

[System alert: Player Bai Liu has hit player Bai Liu with Skill Weapon (Rose Revolver), player Bai Liu's life value has decreased in ......]

[System alert: Player Bai Liu hit ...... with skill weapon (Rose Revolver)]

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu ......]

After Bai Liu had chased down and emptied an unknown number of robotic magazines, stopping any bit that Bai Liu could possibly climb up to, with silvery shell casings all over his feet, the system prompts finally changed:

[System alert: Player Bai Liu's life value is zero, exit the game.]

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for killing player Bai Liu!

Bai Liu's dark eyes stared at the still waters of the pond for a moment, and the gun in his hand flipped and switched back to a whip.

He raised his hand and flung the whip into the pond stirring it from side to side, and when he touched a certain heavy body his wrist lurched, and with a flip of the wrist, he rolled a whip loop, caught the body of Bai Liu under the water by the waist with the whip, tore it up, and flung it outward, and threw it on the plank.

Bai Liu's body, eyes closed, was dropped like an unresponsive lump of rotting flesh on the wooden floor, which shook twice with the vibrations.

Bai Liu walked up to the body and lowered his eyes coldly, observing the body as indifferently as if he were observing a stone.

Bai Liu's face was ashen and bloodless, and in some places the skin blossomed with marks that were clearly corroded by the poison.

Bai Liu hooked up his toes and stuck them on the elbow of the corpse, his ankle upstage kicked the corpse to turn it over, lying face down, spine up on the ground, Bai Liu observed the back of this corpse with his eyes half-closed for a long time, and his line of sight slid down from the spine of this corpse, stopping at the center of the waist and back of this corpse.

Then, with a calm expression and a stern movement, Bai Liu went down with a whip and opened the clothes on the back of this corpse, exposing the skin on the back of this corpse, and then reached out his hand and took out another bottle of poison, ready to pour it down on the concave slit in the center of the bone on the back of Bai Liu's corpse.

But at the moment he was about to fall, Bai Liu's sleeve was pulled.

"You're ......" Sheta, who was held by silk threads and could only crawl on the ground, tugged lightly on Bai Liu's sleeve, then slowly raised her head.

Sheta's neck was covered with horrible bloody holes where bone spikes had gone through it, and was still oozing blood, but it was like he didn't care at all about the injuries on his body, and just looked wholeheartedly at Bai Liu, who blinked his water-stained eyelashes very softly, and asked in a low voice, "--what for? "

Bai Liu drops his eyes, "I'm going to corrode his skin with poison and draw out his spine."

Sheta was quiet for a long time, coughed softly, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you doing this?"

"Sheta." Bai Liu crouched down, he reached out his right hand to jam Sheta's jaw, lifting the other man's chin, looking at Sheta with cold and calm eyes, "Are you genuinely not sure why I'm doing this?"

"You remember the memories of other world lines, that proves that you are the Sheta of other world lines, and you've had your spine drawn by this [Bai Liu] under my feet for I don't know how many times, and by so many world lines for I don't know how many [Bai Liu] that look exactly like me."

Bai Liu stares into Sheta's silver-blue eyes, "Why didn't you say anything when I was torturing you?"

"Why don't you tell me that I'm forcing you to have feelings for someone who looks exactly like your slut who pumped the warp on you?"

"Why don't you tell me that you know you're in a game rather than a real world line, and that you even know that I'm the player, and am most likely here to rip you off in such a way as to cause you pain to get through the game?"

Sheta's breathing paused very softly and his eyes became a little confused, as if he didn't understand what Bai Liu was talking about, "...... Are these important?"

"My world is only games."

Sheta's silver-blue eyes reflect Bai Liu alone: "This is real to me."

"You are real to me."

Bai Liu went quiet, his fingers curling around the bottle of poison.

Sheta's face was stained with blood, wearing a tattered white robe, slowly propping up her body to sit up, covered in blood and pious, kneeling on the ground, slightly tilting her head to look at Bai Liu, who was crouching down, her tone earnest and pleading:

"It doesn't matter if it's a game to you, it doesn't matter if it's for a pass."

"Now, can I be your white horse, Wang Zi?"

Bai Liu was quiet for a while, his posture shifting from a crouch to a kneeling position like Sheta's, and then looking Sheta flat in the eyes.

In this moment, Bai Liu could clearly see the nervousness in Sheta's silver-blue eyes, and a kind of unspeakable anticipation, and he heard his own and Sheta's heartbeats getting faster and faster.

"Knock, knock!"

The frequency of the two men's accelerated heartbeats gradually merged.

"I don't want the white horse Wang Zi who will die." Bai Liu lowered his eyes as he said, "Will you die?"

Sheta reacted, and he quickly, if somewhat panicked, replied, "I'm not going to die, I'm a monster!"

Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes as he said, "Then let's make a deal."

"You give me your soul, life and love."

"I give you my desire, faith and love."

Sheta says, "Good."

He asked seriously, "Is there anything else I need to do for the deal?"

"I need money as a medium for my deal." Bai Liu looked to Sheta, his lips pursed and his tone light as he demanded, "You close your eyes."

Sheta quickly obeyed and closed her eyes.

Bai Liu looks at Sheta's bloodied face, his eyes slowly falling, his long eyelashes casting a very light shadow over his face while his eyes fall to the coin he hangs over his heart.

--That's Bai Liu entering the game's task manager.

It's also a symbol for these lust-controlled, stupid players to ring their bells and make wishes to the evil gods.

Bai Liu was quiet for a long time as he took the coin into his mouth and pressed it under his tongue, where he licked a cold, metallic flavor, like rust and like blood from Sheta's body.

"Is it done?" Sheta asked very softly, his eyes closed as he turned in Bai Liu's direction.

In the moment before he finished the question, Bai Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned forward, raised his right hand to cover Sheta's eyes, and closed them.

Their lips met.

"What was that?" The blindfolded Sheta asked vaguely, licking at the foreign object in his mouth that Bai Liu had ferried to him and asking softly, "Was it a coin? It made my heart beat so fast."

"No." Bai Liu's voice was soft, "It's a kiss."
