Chapter 468: Evil God Festival - Boathouse

Looking at the two men on the big screen, Wang Shun pinched a handful of cold sweat, and his voice began to shake, "Just like that, they're going straight at each other? Bai Liu doesn't have his immunity card, and the panel can't beat Spades!"

"Bai Liu, can you avoid Spades for a while?"

Mu Ke shook his head with a gloomy expression, "He can't avoid it, the map of Sea Shrine is too small, there's no way to avoid it, and both he and Spades are not players who would avoid the main quest, plus this is already the last map of this copy, and the main quests of both Bai Liu and Spades are to sacrifice each other as offerings. "

"These two will definitely come back head on."

Wang Shun listened to the back of the cold sweat came out, his voice was mute: "This main line of quest ...... is not necessarily have to die one in order to end the game?"

"Shit!" Mu Sicheng shook his legs so much that he could only see the stumps, he was tense to the limit as soon as he saw it, but his mouth was still hard, "Then it must be Spades that's dead , not Bai Liu anyway!"

"Bai Liu is very stable." Tang Er chimed in, "Let's see what happens first."

"Wait." Liu Jiayi squinted as she looked at the main quest on Spades' main panel, "No, Spades' main quest isn't to sacrifice Bai Liu, it's to sacrifice away the [Most Painful Sacrifice]."

Mu Ke turned his head to Liu Jiayi and frowned as he asked rhetorically, "Spades' identity is that of the attendant of the most painful sacrifice, his main quest is to offer the most painful sacrifice, just now we have already seen the process of selecting this year's sacrifices on the big screen, Bai Liu is indeed the most painful of all the sacrifices in the boat house of Luming County. "

"Yes." Liu Jiayi's face grew cold, "Bai Liu is the most painful of all the offerings in the boathouse, not necessarily [the most painful offering]."

Mu Ke was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you see? There's a play on words here." Liu Jiayi's tone was so cold it was on the verge of freezing, "There's no qualifier for this [Most Painful Offering]."

"Qualifier?" Bai Yi, who was sitting on the Killer Sequence bench watching the match, was skeptical as he tapped Liao Ke on the shoulder, "What does it mean, Liao?"

Liao Ke's expression is as grave as Liu Jiayi's: "The most painful sacrifice in the main quest given by Spades has no qualifier, which means that there's no stipulation as to which area is the most painful sacrifice."

"If this is the case with no qualifiers, then it will default to ......"

"What the system wants Spades to sacrifice isn't limited to being the most agonizing sacrifice in Kagome County." Heart in the audience lazily dragged his jaw as he looked at the big screen, "but rather the most painful sacrifice in the entire world at this moment."

Phoebe, lying on her stomach on the fence and looking at the big screen, blinks curiously and asks Heart sideways, "Isn't Spades' sacrifice Bai Liu?"

"Not necessarily." Georgia, also sitting in the audience, straightened his back, his posture dignified, meticulously looking at the big screen, explaining in a clear and organized manner, "Let's just say that the most Spades-needed sacrifice at the moment is most likely Bai Liu, but that doesn't mean that it's necessarily Bai Liu."

"Spades is going to find his quest offering, preferably from the position of being the most agonizing offering attendant himself."

"If it wasn't Bai Liu ...... " Armand stared at the big screen, "then whose squire would Spades be?"

"Yeah, yeah." In the audience opposite Armand sat Daniel, his feet dug out of the railing's divider and wiggling excitedly, his right index finger spinning a bloodstained clown mask, his apple green eyes staring intently at the upper right corner of the big screen, a pompous grin on his face, "This is the last map point, if Spades doesn't find his sacrifice, then Bai Liu will win! If Spades doesn't find his sacrifice, it's Bai Liu's turn to win."

Cen Buming, who sat in his seat without moving from beginning to end, lifted his eyelids and swept the big screen, "The most painful sacrifice can't be Bai Liu."

"He won't feel pain."

Daniel turned his head and grinned as he flung the clown mask into Cen Buming's face, "So, Chairman, who do you think the most painful sacrifice will be?"

Cen Buming slowly opened his right hand and removed the clown mask that had been flung over his face, his eyes inexplicably obscure, "I think it's going to be--"

"Sheta."

Daniel approached with interest, "Who's Sheta?"

Cen Buming looked pale as he placed the mask over Daniel's face, he looked through the mask into the green eyes behind Daniel's mask and slowly crooked a smile, "It's normal that you don't recognize it, because His existence is erased in this world line."

"All you need to know is that He is Bai Liu's [anchor]."

The host's hysterical roar breaks through everyone's conversation, "Bai Liu strikes first!"

"He threw the whip straight at Spades' face!"

In-game, waterfront boathouse.

Cangta looked out the door at the pouring rain and looked increasingly worried, "Why is this rain getting heavier?"

"What, it's raining heavily and you still feel bad?" Xiao Kui, who was lying on the ground, rolled his eyes, "Do you want the Evil God Festival to take place as promised?"

"No." Cangta gripped the shirt over her heart, her expression tightening, "But if the Evil God Festival is canceled, Bai Liu won't have to practice his dance tonight, so it's logical that he'll come back to the boathouse to rest now."

"But it's almost midnight and he hasn't returned from the shrine ......"

"You said ...... " Cangta's heart pounded as he asked with a ghastly white face, "Was Bai Liu-sama taken by the Imperial Ship to be sacrificed alone ah?"

Xiao Kui sat up sharply, she and Cangta exchanged a glance and quickly denied Cangta's idea: "Impossible, you are Bai Liu's attendant, Bai Liu couldn't possibly not take you with him if he was brought as a sacrifice."

"And if Bai Liu, the most painful sacrifice in the boathouse, had been brought to be sacrificed, in order to prevent others from using Bai Liu to make a wish, Mikifune would have surely followed along to the Sea Shrine to make a wish by himself, but he was just over there in the boathouse ......"

Xiao Kui pushed the door open and her pupils dilated slightly as she looked out onto the patio in the middle of the boathouse.

Just now Gobune had been here with an umbrella to examine the remaining offerings, but now the Gobune man was gone, leaving only his footprints in the middle of the patio.

There was a servant of the Gobune family hurrying past the cloisters, and Xiao Kui eagerly grabbed the servant by the coat-tails, "Greetings, may I ask where Lord Gobune has gone?"

The servant glanced back at Xiao Kui strangely, "Lord Gobune has finished examining the offerings and has gone to the harbor."

The harbor, that's where you take a boat to the Maritime Shrine!

The Imperial Ship is really going to sacrifice that Bai Liu guy!

Xiao Kui also turned white.

In the harbor, Gosun jumped into the small boat with the careful support of a few servants, shook off the water-stained hem of his coat and sat down, the servants held an umbrella for Gosun, and the small boat was manned by two boatmen who supported the boat, who cranked the wooden pulley, and headed for the maritime shrine that had barely moved its position on the tip of the waves on this dark and stormy night on the sea.

Heavy rain poured down, the boat to the shrine rocked in the wind and waves, and sitting in the boat, Mikabune waved away the hand of the servant holding his umbrella, his eyes darkly looking towards the shrine on the sea, and on his face was a kind of twisted, maniacal grin that was darkly suppressed.

The day had finally come, the day the gods had told him about in his dreams.

He had waited ten years to sacrifice away this most painful of offerings, for the day when this noble sacrifice would become the most painful.

"Lord Gobune." The servant wiped a handful of rainwater from his face and shouted through the downpour, "For five years now, every time we've brought Bai Liu to be sacrificed because the Evil God couldn't be sacrificed without opening his eyes, why does Lord Gobune think that we'll definitely be able to sacrifice Bai Liu today?"

"Did the gods give you instructions?"

The Imperial Ship was quiet for a long time, he looked at the sea and laughed maniacally, "Who told you I was going to sacrifice Bai Liu?"

The servant froze, "I thought you said you were going to sacrifice away the most painful offerings tonight?"

"Who told you that the most painful sacrifice in this world is Bai Liu?" the Gobune's face was sinister and frenzied as he clenched his fists, "Yes that's right, Bai Liu is indeed the most painful, and that's why Bai Liu is the Evil God's chosen heir, he's the next generation of the Evil God. "

"And the sacrifice I'm going to offer tonight is the most agonizing being besides Bai Liu."

"--The corpse of the evil god who is trapped in this maritime shrine, who can only see his beloved once a year, but cannot open his eyes to look at Bai Liu or open his mouth to speak a word to Bai Liu, is the most painful sacrifice in this world."

Gobune laughed hideously, "This sacrifice is ripe for the night, for the god tells me that He has sent the sacrificial attendant of this evil god's corpse to the shrine."

"Tonight will be the most painful night for this sacrifice."

"The corpse of an evil god?!" The servant was so shocked that he could barely hold his umbrella, "Is the one we're going to sacrifice away tonight, the Evil God-sama we've been worshipping all this time?!"

"After tonight it will no longer be an evil god." Gobune wiped a handful of rainwater from his face and smiled grimly, "Or rather, from the time I hid it five years ago, it ceased to be an evil god and was merely a sacrifice that I would eventually sacrifice away."

"Hidden ......?" The servant gave a start as he recalled in a flash, "Indeed, I have never seen the body of the Evil God-sama in the shrine, and those sacrifices that failed to be offered also said that they had never found the Evil God-sama's body in the Maritime shrine, so it turned out that it was hidden by you, Gobune-sama."

Mifune looked over at the shrine and quirked his lips, "There's no way anyone would find the body of an evil god in a maritime shrine."

"--I didn't even hide Him at the Maritime Shrine."

A huge shock of thunder fell, and in a flash of white light, a to bone whip swept through the shrine of the Sea Shrine as if it were lightning, wood shavings and crashing bells flying in all directions.

Bai Liu's chest rose and fell twice as he calmly swept over the empty shrine.

-- Taville is not here.

This shrine is this big, and he basically swept it all away, so that can only mean one thing - Gobune hid Taville.

The black bone whip came down hard from behind Bai Liu, Bai Liu dodged it sideways, the whip swept across, Bai Liu had to face it head on, Spades pressed himself forward, his pure black eyes focused on Bai Liu with little emotion in his tone, "It's a match between you and me."

"Who are you distracted looking for? Is it to lose to me?"

The bone whip in Spades' hand quickly bends and twists, wrapping around Bai Liu's shoulders before being pulled downward by Spades with no effort at all.

Bai Liu's arms were torn off and blood gushed out.

Ecstatic noises came from the crowd off the big screen as the host squealed with excitement, "Spades has Bai Liu disarmed!"

Mu Sicheng sat up directly from the chair, he gritted his teeth and looked at Bai Liu who was bleeding in the screen, he couldn't even speak dirty words.

"Sit down!" Tang Er hit lifted his hand and pressed Mu Sicheng back down hard, bit by bit, he lowered his head, his fists clenched until they turned white, not looking at the big screen, his voice low, "Trust Bai Liu."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu is using Player Liu Jiayi's panel to use the Antidote skill]

Bai Liu bites the bottle of antidote and turns his head sideways to drink the air, his broken arms instantly grow out from his shoulders, then Bai Liu's eyes are stern as he turns his hand backward, the whip in his hand turns into a short knife, he pulls Spades' clothes with his left hand and holds the knife with his right hand, aiming to slice Spades' neck fiercely.

Spades sidesteps it.

At the moment when Spades sidesteps his head, Bai Liu turns his sword into a whip and wraps it around Spades' neck as he sidesteps his head, and turns sideways with a cold stare, trying to use the force to put Spades down on the ground.

With a speed of reaction unseen to the naked eye, Spades thrusts his hands into the ring of Bai Liu's whip wrapped around his neck and pulls forcefully outward, shocking his hands to widen.

The moment the ring is widened, Bai Liu spins the handle of the whip, the bone spikes on the whip flare out and stab into Spades' shoulder, Bai Liu barely pauses to capitalize on the momentary break, pulling down on the whip with a downward slash.

Spades' shoulder was cut with two huge wounds, and the blood almost reached Bai Liu's face, but was quickly washed away by the rain.

The hosts screamed, nearly toppling the top of the viewing pool, "Bai Liu reverses the kill! He's got Spades with the whip!"

"I'm not here to sacrifice you." Spades is immobilized by Bai Liu, whose chest heaves violently as he binds his arms with a whip, but he looks into Bai Liu's eyes and says flatly, "You are not a sacrifice in my mission."

The restraints on Bai Liu's hands grew tighter, a strand of hair fell on the side of his face, blood and cream mingled around his lips, and he raised his eyes, his voice quiet, "I know."

"That's why I must win you."
