Chapter 127: Love Orphanage

Liu Huai is dead, but he keeps Miao Gaojiang, the rampaging monster, in check, albeit for a minute.

Looking at Liu Huai's body, Bai Liu was in a daze for just a moment, but he quickly calmed down and went up to grab the motionless Liu Jiayi and drag him into the church.

Miao Feichi wanted to run too, but to add insult to injury, his children's blood was still on Liu Jiayi's body, but Liu Jiayi was lying next to the zombie monster that Miao Gaojiang had turned into. He went to catch little Miao Gaojiang.

That child was related to him too, and the blood worked! Then he was one child short of blood, and Miao Feichi looked behind the baptismal font at the size of Muke, and his murderous scarlet eyes rolled slightly.

Bai Liu dragged Liu Jiayi without any response at all, the little girl just held Liu Huai's corpse in her arms and kneeled in place, the zombie next to her stared deadly at Liu Jiayi with bulging eyes and had started to move faintly, while Liu Jiayi was holding Liu Huai's head in a trance as if she didn't see it, muttering "Yes, I can resurrect my brother, I can, with enough points, I can ......"

"You can't resurrect Liu Huai." Bai Liu lightly interrupted Liu Jiayi's self-talk, "His soul is with me."

Liu Jiayi pauses, then leaps up and snaps Bai Liu's neck with a speed unseen by the naked eye, flipping his arms around Bai Liu's neck and fiercely flipping him to the ground.

The number one Nova player finally revealed her danger, as Liu Jiayi, with tear-stained face and hideous face, wrapped her thin arms and legs around Bai Liu's neck and threatened him at the top of her lungs: "Give me Liu Huai's soul! Or I will kill you!!!"

Bai Liu was strangled and coughing, but he still looked calm and his voice was a little hoarse as he climbed to his feet, "...... As it is now, even if you resurrected him, would he really want to live? He wanted to die for you, and it was in my plan to keep him alive."

Liu Jiayi's breath caught in her throat as she recalled Liu Huai's exhausted tone before she died, and she couldn't help but let go of her grip on Bai Liu, who quickly took her wrist and dragged her towards the church without looking back.

Liu Jiayi was dumbfounded as Bai Liu tugged her towards the church, she was already exhausted by her skills and had no strength left.

Bai Liu coughed as he ran, he gave Liu Jiayi a sideways glance as she reacted to Bai Liu saving her and said faintly, " Liu Huai told me to save you from this game no matter what."

"It's not this orphanage, it's a whole game, so maybe when that time comes, he'll be willing to be resurrected by you."

Liu Jiayi's eyes were sore, but she quickly refuted Bai Liu's words: "There's no way I can survive, Miao Gaojiang's alienated monster is a level 3 S monster with over 10,000 defense, when I opened the group in the King's Guild with healing assistance, it took a dozen A+ players with high cooperation to be able to eat it with me controlling the blood line. eat it, how to fight?"

Bai Liu's tone was calm: "I have a solution."

With Bai Liu's words, the zombie that had been frozen in place for a minute and fifteen seconds by Liu Huai's suicidal attack finally moved again.

It opened its two black lips with long fangs and jumped towards Liu Jiayi.

He didn't jump fast, but he had a very high range and landed in front of the church door in a few jumps, but instead of attacking Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, who were running ahead of him, he jumped right over their heads and headed for the side door.

Miao Feichi, who was on the side door of the church and was about to sneak around the back to attack Muke and the others, couldn't help but give a fuck when he saw the zombie jumping towards him, and swung his sword to avoid it.

As a result, the zombie transformed into Miao Gaojiang seemed to be very familiar with Miao Feichi's attacking style and escape habits, and Miao Feichi failed to escape several times and was trapped by the zombie in front of the church.

Miao Feichi's head was sweating as he kept wielding his twin swords, and finally he was forced to turn up and use the [Double Slash of Discontent], a burst skill that Miao Feichi could only use for a minute because of his stamina.

The spirits floated up from Miao Feichi's wielded swords, and the blood filled the space in front of the church, as Miao Feichi's swords kept pushing and pulling and slashing across the church, and the snowy white light could be seen in the night. Miao Feichi's face was getting whiter as Miao Gaojiang could also hurt him.

[System Alert: Carrion Zombie has bitten player Miao Feichi on the shoulder, player Miao Feichi -2 life]

[System Alert: Player Miao Feichi uses his personal skill (Grudge Double Blade) to blast once, attacking a carrion zombie for 3 life points]

[System Alert: ......]

Miao Feichi bared his teeth and tried to force a breakthrough, but soon the Bludgeon skill was about to run out for a minute and Miao Feichi used his last blast, but he was only halfway through raising his sword when a monstrous child monster suddenly jumped on his back.

The little creature came out of nowhere and hugged Miao Feichi's neck from behind, babbling this.

He knew the face, it was the child he had kidnapped before entering the game, the child whose fingers he had cut off and eaten, and if Muke had been here he would have been surprised to find that this was the deformed child who had warned him at the lift not to go up there.

The little monster giggled and squealed, hugging and clapping Miao Feichi's neck: "Fingers! Fingers! Uncle likes to eat my fingers!"

It has no fingers on its hands.

The words [Fingertips] caused the already completely zombified Miao Gaojiang's attack to freeze for a moment, which used to be Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang's code word to identify each other in a game where all investor players looked alike, as it rolled its cloudy eyes to look closer at Miao Feichi and said hoarsely. "...... Feichi loves to eat ...... fingers."

It seemed to recognize the person in front of it as Miao Feichi, Miao Feichi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief thinking that Miao Gaojiang had barely regained its senses when Miao Gaojiang wrapped its hand around Miao Feichi's neck, its eyes open and staring deadly at Miao Feichi who was being held up by its choke: "...... One day you will eat my fingers too."

Miao Feichi was strangled and hanging, his legs struggling in mid-air like a toad, he tried desperately to slash Miao Gaojiang with the twin swords in his hands, but Miao Gaojiang didn't react at all, the thumbs squeezing his throat sagged, Miao Feichi's eyes soon became red and he couldn't breathe, he looked at Miao Gaojiang He finally understood why Miao Gaojiang had been the first to attack him, and what his father's subconscious fears had been -

-- Miao Gaojiang Fearing that he has eaten him, so that his skillful identity is not dead, the flesh rots of the zombie.

Miao Gaojiang's palms tightened and Miao Feichi's whole body jerked, his twin swords slowly falling to the ground, disappearing into dots of light, his pupils spreading and his mouth cocked as he leaned into Miao Gaojiang's hands, like a child pampering his father.

[System Alert (for all players): Player Miao Feichi has zero life, confirmed dead, exit the game]

"Shit!" Muke watched as Miao Feichi, who had been chopping and slicing at random in this copy, was killed in a minute by Miao Gaojiang, and Muke, who was pushing at the tunnel entrance, couldn't help but feel sweat oozing out of his face, "Why won't the tunnel entrance open!"

Bai Liu glanced at the doorway, "It's being held up against the inside."

Little Miao Gaojiang was sweating as hard as he could against the tunnels, using blocks of wood from the church to pin the mouths of the tunnels and doing everything he could to avoid anyone coming in from outside, swallowing nervously - the investor had really turned into a monster!

He had also previously used the baptismal font and some seats to press down the exit of the passage of the monster child under the idol, but the baptismal font had just been pushed open by Muke, and it was not expected that there would be another layer inside.

Miao Gaojiang, who had killed Miao Feichi, spun his head around and his eyes looked over at Muke and Bai Liu, who scalpily stepped in front of Bai Liu, little Muke and Liu Jiayi, who glanced at his system panel and took a deep breath to look at the S-rank monster carrion zombie.

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Muke for gaining skill status (Brave Assassin of Light), you have a skill derived weapon (Dagger of Light and Darkness)]

[System Alert: Does player Muke use skill-derived weapons?

Muke exhales: [Yes]

Liu Jiayi's face was covered in tears as she looked expressionlessly at Bai Liu who was still struggling: "Give up, there's no way out, we're all going to die ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, Muke suddenly stepped forward and stepped in front of Liu Jiayi, his hands flung down and a pair of daggers appeared in his hands.

It was a particularly familiar gesture to Liu Jiayi, and her breath caught and all her words stopped.

"Liu Huai didn't give away his skills to protect you, he didn't ask you to die, Liu Jiayi." Bai Liu was still pushing on the door to compete with the little Miao Gaojiang inside, he said without looking back as he pushed the door a little out of breath, "Is this how you spoil your brother's feelings?"

[System Alert: Does Muke have the Blitz skill (Flash Attack) enabled? Because Muke has not used this skill before, this skill will severely drain your stamina and you will be unable to escape after using it.

Muke looked back behind himself at Bai Liu, a bewildered Liu Jiayi, and little Muke, he gripped those daggers tightly, an emotion he had never felt before made his heart beat faster and filled his eyes with tears, he clenched his teeth in fear, but a stronger feeling and desire made him take a step forward.

[Use!

Muke leapt to his feet at the ground, and the heat in Liu Jiayi's eyes was like the light of a burning fire.

The dead assassin seems to be coming back to life at this very moment.

And this time he is no longer a coward, a brave assassin.

As Muke scurries out, Liu Jiayi turns abruptly to look at Bai Liu, her head bowed, her expression unreadable, her tone very cold: "Get out of the way."

Bai Liu raises his eyebrows and moves out of the way, Liu Jiayi reaches out and presses his hand against the door of the tunnel, looking up, his eyes red but his face devoid of any emotion: [System, use prop (hinge), use location is Miao Gaojiang in the tunnel].

[System Alert: (Hinge) is in the process of being set up ...... set up is complete and the player inside has been locked Miao Gaojiang]

Little Miao Gaojiang looked in horror at the hinges that had burst out of nowhere and were locked around his wrists and ankles and could not be broken free.

Muke was thrown out by Miao Gaojiang and rolled several times on the ground, choking and coughing up a large amount of blood, he was already in pain and could hardly get up, no matter how hard he tried he could not stab into the body of the zombie Miao Gaojiang had turned into to cause a stiffening effect, the dagger seemed to be dull in his hand.

[System warning: Player Muke's life value has dropped by 5 points to 1! Please flee from the dangerous scene quickly!

Muke was on the ground trying to get up when the world seemed to start shaking in front of him and he saw the zombie he had stopped for less than ten seconds bouncing in the direction of Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi.

No, no way! Liu Jiayi is a safe zone if you go into the church, but Bai Liu is not!!!

The moment this zombie gets to Bai Liu, he'll be dead!

Is there any way, any way to keep this zombie from moving! Make it die! Make it stop hurting anyone!

Muke grimaced as he struggled to his feet, his gaze falling on Liu Huai outside the church, bruised and battered, he looked at the wound in Liu Huai's heart and was suddenly struck by the fact that it was a wound that Liu Huai had stabbed himself with in order to explode his spirit... ...

Bai Liu turned and drew his whip and calmly took on the jumping zombie, but the zombie surprised Bai Liu by jumping right over him and attacking Liu Jiayi behind him.

Liu Jiayi was by this time grabbing the hinges and pulling them out, little Miao Gaojiang was still desperately pushing out to stop herself from being pulled out, before she could get inside she heard the sound of a zombie jumping and turned her head, the zombie's black nails were already touching Liu Jiayi's forehead and seemed to be able to poke through her if she reached a little further forward.

The church does not allow the killing of children, but just because there is a penalty for killing a child does not mean that the child will not die - Liu Jiayi is their only hope to get through the level and must not die!

Bai Liu threw the whip around Liu Jiayi's waist and pulled her into his arms in the nick of time.

While Liu Jiayi was in Bai Liu's arms, Miao Gaojiang jumped towards Bai Liu again. The zombie's claws were so fast that they reached out almost in mid-air. The other hand came at Liu Jia in Bai Liu's arms.

Liu Jiayi could smell the strong stench of blood on the zombie's claws, which also contained Liu Huai's blood and signalled impending death.

She closed her eyes in some daze, waiting for the same deathly end as her brother.

...... I really did try to live brother, if you see me coming to you, please don't ever blame me.

Bai Liu turned around and without hesitation crushed Liu Jiayi's head into his arms, he let go of the whip and converted it into a monkey paw and faced the zombie's claws with a stern face, protecting Liu Jiayi completely in his arms as the zombie snarled and clawed at Bai Liu, Liu Jiayi was frozen in his bloody, earthy arms. Liu Jiayi was held in Bai Liu's arms with the scent of blood and dirt.

Bai Liu's chest is thin and his heartbeat is calm, with a reassuring intensity and warmth that makes Liu Jiayi's eyes widen slightly.

She remembered what Liu Huai had said to him.

My sister deserves a brother ten thousand times better than me, Liu Huai said to Liu Jiayi with a smile, "You will have a better brother than me, Jiayi.

So don't give up on yourself, there is a brighter future waiting for you, Psyche has to go through a lot of trouble to bring Cupid back to earth who has flown to heaven.

Bai Liu braced himself and used his claws against the zombie. He was knocked backwards on his knees by the zombie's falling claws and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

The zombie threw back his head and snapped his claws down, Bai Liu taking a rare serious look at his opponent - he would have died if the claw had hit him.

[System Alert: Player Muke stabbed himself with (Dagger of Light and Darkness), spirit level is dropping ...... spirit level drops to 11, open berserk panel!

[System Alert: Player Muke uses the Bludgeon skill (Flash Strike)!

Muke came crackling like a flash of lightning from a great distance, the dagger he held glowing with a blinding light that lit up the long dark night that seemed like it would never light up, Muke knelt before Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu, his body covered in the wounds he had made with his own clumsy dagger, Muke's eyes cloudy from his first mental drop lax.

But his hands gripped the dagger hard enough to hold it open to block the zombie's falling claws for dear life.

He was like a solid umbrella, his face fiercely daggered in front of Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, the young master who at first trembled at the mention of S-ranked players, but at this moment was unshakably in front of an S-ranked monster.

Muke gripped the dagger, his heart was beating wildly, beating until it began to sting, until his whole body began to tingle, he felt like he was going to die, his knees were shaking and his hands were shaking, Muke felt as if he was going to die next, or fall to his knees the next second he couldn't take it, but he didn't.

Muke glanced back at Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu behind him, and something unprecedented squeezed the tears from his eyes and held his knees that were shaking to the point of falling to their knees - it hurt so much, Muke had always thought that the heartache he was having was painful enough, but he had never thought it could be this painful. It could hurt so much.

The young master, who had been golden all his life, who was afraid of pain, who loved to cry, was hysterical and ungraceful as he threw back his head in a frenzy of tears in an excruciating pain that was about to burst his heart, and shouted

"Get out of here!!! You are not allowed to touch them !!!!!"

The glittering dagger was viciously driven into the zombie's solid skin by the grim-faced Muke.

The zombie threw back its head and let out a furious whine, pressing its claws harder and harder against Muke's body.

[System Alert: Player Muke uses (Flash Strike) to cause a one-minute stiffness in a carrion zombie, reducing the life of the carrion zombie to 5!

Muke was slapped into the ground by the zombie's heavy claw, and he fell to his knees with a pale face, the ground he was kneeling on shattered and cracked by the force of the zombie's claw.

The zombie's downward pressure finally stopped and Muke blinked slowly, giggling a little after making sure the zombie wasn't moving and murmuring a success.

Then Muke started bleeding from his mouth, eyes and nose.

Muke let go of the dagger and slowly went limp to the ground, vomiting blood, his lax eyes still looking at Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu, who were protected by him - a look Bai Liu was familiar with.

It's like the proud look of a child who has done well and is rewarded by his Xiang family, but the look on Muke's face is weak and faint, seemingly ready to dissipate as his eyelids droop, but he's happy nonetheless.

This time, like Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng, he finally completed the attacking task set to him by Bai Liu to perfection.

"...... did a good job, Muke ." Bai Liu said to Muke.

Muke's mouth is covered in blood, and he smiles happily from the bottom of his heart at Bai Liu's compliment, the corners of his mouth tilting upwards with a little pride, but his eyelids drooping all the way down.

He struggled to speak, his tone careful, his voice faintly inquiring, "...... I seem to be failing, I've ...... really tried my best this time, I've done all I can, ahem, no ...... disrupt your plans, right ...... Bai Liu ?"

"I know, Muke." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "You're doing really well, and this time I'm giving you permission to die."

He exhaled slowly, coughing up blood and froth from his mouth, and slowly released the dagger he was clutching so tightly that the pattern on the dagger had changed from [blood] to [heart] at some point, the letters engraved on his palm from his excessive strength.

The glow on the dagger dimmed and disappeared to the ground as a data point.

[System Alert: Player Muke's main identity line has zero life, confirmed dead]

Within a second of confirming Muke's death, Bai Liu picks Liu Jiayi up without a moment's pause and heads for the tunnel entrance, Liu Jiayi carried on her shoulders by the running Bai Liu, a strange, completely incomprehensible expression on her face.

She was lost in thought as she looked at the fire that had flung itself in front of her and died in the ground - it was Muke, the new player who had supposedly inherited Liu Huai's skills.

It was a cloud of weapons and fire like her brother's, falling to the ground in death again for her sake.

Liu Jiayi's thin fingers slowly tightened their grip on Bai Liu's shoulders, her eyes slowly filling with tears: "Why ......"

She was just a little bitch that no one wanted, and God had let her be born just to repeatedly validate the fact that she was a bitch in a long, grey life.

Her existence is meaningless, just a small fish struggling to survive in the mud, somehow trying to survive, languishing in the weir that drowned her mother and sister, the only place she can breathe is in the palm of Liu Huai's hand.

Liu Jiayi does not deserve to be saved and no one will save her.

Muke lies silently on the ground to protect Liu Jiayi, his eyes barely closed, as Bai Liu holds her close and dashes towards the tunnel entrance, her eyes fluttering open as she holds onto Bai Liu's shoulder, feeling as if she is about to fly.

The loss of time became strange as she stared blankly up at the monster zombie that had jumped her way, that had lifted its stiffness and leapt into mid-air, the ugly monster's face morphing into a real person's face as if in slow motion to what she could only see in her thermographic eyes.

The hideous, angry, drunken face of the man who gave birth to him appeared on the zombie's face as he roared at Liu Jiayi, "Little bastard! Who let you be born!"

Then Liu Huai's face turned back into Liu Huai's, his face full of tears as he broke down and cried, "I'm sorry Jiayi, I didn't mean it, for brother's sake, one last time, one last time, okay?"

Bai Liu crushed Liu Jiayi's face into her arms, and those hideous, twisted faces left her in a flash.

The skinny Liu Jiayi cowered on his chest like an immature cat, gently gripping the corners of Bai Liu's collar, Bai Liu breathing heavily but speaking in an unhurried voice: "If you were asking me why I saved you."

"Because I made a deal with a man who sold me his soul and said he would take you out of here as long as I lived."

"I'm still alive." Bai Liu said, "So I save you."

Liu Jiayi's eyes were open, unseeing, and her tears rolled down in a wooden, hot stream, soaking Bai Liu's lapel.

Two children who had not believed in God since they were children stumbled in this moment and finally walked into the safety of divine shelter.

The monster attacked from behind with its mouth wide open. Bai Liu ripped the hinges off the outside of the tunnel and pulled little Miao Gaojiang out of the tunnel, flinging him to the zombie monster coming after him as he screamed. Bai Liu frowned, choked and coughed, and dropped Liu Jiayi from his shoulders.

[System warning: Player Bai Liu's protective item (Cynic Wristguard) will expire in 15 minutes! Damage taken during this time will stack on top of player Bai Liu's body! Player Bai Liu's main status line life is about to be zero!

Liu Jiayi looked in panic at the fire that was about to go out in front of her, and tears fell from her eyes: " Bai Liu! Bai Liu! Bai Liu!"

Bai Liu slowly collapsed to the ground.

He loosened his grip on the whip, and more and more blood gushed out of his mouth, as if all his previous injuries had been reversed to this moment, Bai Liu turned to Liu Jiayi and said, word by word, arduously, "Run ...... channel... ..."

"Don't die!" Liu Jiayi touched Bai Liu's face like a panicked, normal eight-year-old girl, bowing in panic and pressing her face against Bai Liu's head, feeling his fading breaths and crying helplessly, "Please don't die! Didn't you want to save me? Didn't you promise to take me out of this game? Don't just die like this!"

"Don't lie to me, don't leave me alone will you ......" the dirty little girl tilted her head, her dull grey eyes open as she knelt before the statue of the pure god, tearing her heart out in shrill cries, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and nose, and "Don't leave me alone to hide any longer!"

Forever hiding in the dark, she seems like a deep-sea fish that cannot see the light, with strange blood and appearance and eyes that cannot see the light, living coldly underground, growing in betrayal, surviving in doubt, living by her cursed ability to play games that she cannot tell anyone about.

Who will be with her, whispered the invisible little fish, I can save you and poison you, but if you come near me with love, I will give you my warmest belly.

Just stay with me forever and don't fish me up and then, afraid of my monster-like appearance, cowardly leave me in a muddy pond.

Little Miao Gaojiang screamed and cried as he was grabbed by one hand by his adult self, who had turned into a monster, and the moment the zombie was about to bite down on little Miao Gaojiang's neck, the eyelids of the god on the cross twitched.

[System warning: Monster attack on children in safe zone detected!

[System Warning: The gods have sent down punishment!

Dense thorns spread out from the feet of the idol, wrapping around the carrion zombie that had stepped into the church. The zombie monster was wrapped impermeably in black thorns, and it attacked in every direction, but the barbed thorns easily sank into its thick, leathery, greenish-purple skin, wrapping around its thick neck in a circle, and the zombie let out a roar of rage as it tried to break out of the thorny envelope.

But more and more thorns twisted around, wrapping layer upon layer, and the zombie was whole enclosed inside a cocoon made of thorns.

As the thorns get deeper and deeper into the tangle, the zombie's growling voice grows from louder to smaller, eventually becoming progressively weaker as the thorns shrink and wriggle in a circle, as if swallowing the monster encased inside.

Little Miao Gaojiang looked at the lush pile of thorns, wrapped up as high as the church's hill and still moving, and he took two frightened steps back, realizing that the entire church floor was covered with strips of thorns that were still spreading over and over, tubing everywhere into this cocoon made of thorns in the middle.

The thorny bush slowly gathers and stays still as little Miao Gaojiang's hair tingles and the black spikes of the thorns drip black, blood and putrid-smelling liquid.

[System warning: God-level npc attacking carrion zombie (player alienation) in ...... carrion zombie life value clear]

[System Alert: Player Miao Gaojiang's main identity line life value is zero, confirmed dead]

Liu Jiayi smelled the strong stench of a corpse, she heard the hissing of thorns withdrawing from the ground, followed by the dull sound of falling blocks and her own rapid breathing, but none of these sounds drew her attention as much as the fading mass of colour on Bai Liu's body.

She didn't even care about the dead Miao Gaojiang, who was turning the system panel on the fly.

[System Alert: I regret to inform you that your personal skill (Antidote) has one and a half hours to pass its cooldown period and cannot be used now]

Liu Jiayi closed her eyes and she let out a breath - calm, Liu Jiayi calm, there must be something that can be done to save Bai Liu.

Her healing skills are unusable, but she still has something that can directly save Bai Liu - and that is her blood, which can directly irrigate the Blood Reiki that can save anyone and is capable of curing the terminal illness in Bai Liu, the investor, but she also needs a bed of straw that can cultivate the Blood Reiki now.

Bai Liu can't wait to go back to the hospital with which straw bed, and there are other investors monster hands to grab, even if she has the ability to grab, Bai Liu also do not have the time to wait for her to grab.

Liu Jiayi's gaze slowly moved towards the place where she heard the thorns closing in - it was an idol with thorns wrapped around it, and the god was looking at Liu Jiayi with open eyes, but it was a dead mass because its body temperature was too cold.

Before Tavel could say anything, he saw the blind little girl stumble towards his idol and with a viciousness that began to pull the thorn bushes from his body like wool.

A slightly confused Tavel who has just woken up: "......?"

Bai Liu is the exception to the rule. I didn't expect this little girl to keep her wits about her and pull his thorns, but the moment he saw Liu Jiayi's face, Tavel understood why Liu Jiayi was okay.

Because of this little girl, the eyes are blind.

The moment Liu Jiayi touched Tavel, she was inspired to become a godlike NPC, but this was her safe zone, and she was not afraid, pulling and tugging with a vengeance to strip Tavel naked.

Tavel, who silently watched Liu Jiayi picking thorns from his body: "......"

It took one look at Bai Liu, who lay motionless on the ground, and slowly wrapped its thorns gently around him, the thorn strips that could easily churn through a monster with a defence value of over 10,000 against Bai Liu, who was breathing weakly, and placed him firmly in the baptismal pool behind itself without causing a single life point loss.

As Liu Jiayi looked at Tavel in shock at the sound of the voice and was about to snatch someone from his thorn bar, Tavel silently placed his own thorn bar in Liu Jiayi's hand.

Liu Jiayi is stunned.

"Are you going to use my strips of thorns to build a place to keep the blood primrose?" Tavel said very calmly, "I'll pile it up for you."

The thorns weave meekly in a slow pile at the bottom of the baptismal pool, turning it into a sturdy-looking bed of black thorn canes on which Bai Liu, pale and bloodless, lies with his eyes tightly closed.

Liu Jiayi stood in front of the baptismal font and looked down at the player who, for some reason, had been saving her since the beginning of the game and whom she had originally hated.

"How do you know, how do you know that you can raise the blood lingzhi with my thorns?" Tavel looked down at Liu Jiayi, "Or is the blood lingzhi a product of my thorn strips?"

Liu Jiayi bowed her head, she seemed to be still looking at Bai Liu, then without hesitation she bowed her head and slashed her wrist with the knife, blood gurgled out of her arm and dripped down into the water of the baptismal pool, into the thorn bushes, in the clear water where all children wash their sins clean, and the forbidden, foul blood from her body haloed in the water in a pattern like a flower.

The submerged thorns begin to stretch their branches, and where they cross, glowing red dots like fireflies rise up from them like the spores of a mushroom.

Liu Jiayi's thin, snow-white wrists were dripping with brightly coloured blood, and she dropped her trembling eyelashes as she spoke without any emotion in her voice: "All monsters in this copy suck blood, and you're a monster too, so how could you not?"

"From the way the safe zone is set up, you seem to be a god who protects children," Liu Jiayi says. Liu Jiayi says, "But if you were really so good for children, why would those investors be so fervent in their offerings to you, obsessed with baptising us in your presence? Every copy has core evil things that land on earth and mix with the disgusting desires of humans to form a copy of the game, and the core evil thing in this copy is the Blood Lingzhi, and it all starts with the appearance of the Blood Lingzhi."

"You are the most important one in this copy of the monster book, and your presence must have something to do with the core evil."

Liu Jiayi raised her grey eyes, blood dripping from her hands, "You are not a good god at all, you are an evil god, the investors worship you because the secret recipe and birth of the blood lingzhi started with you, right? It was you, the god, who gave them these things, that's why they worship you with such fervour."

Tavel, tied to the cross, blinked slowly as he looked at Liu Jiayi, who was looking straight at him with his head tilted back: "You're not entirely right, the blood lingzhi did start with me."

"But I'm also just a fallen, undead, evil creature, no longer considered a god." Those strips of thorns crawled rapidly over Tavel's body as he said faintly, "I am only the first sustenance for the blood lingam."

"I was the first child to be discovered by the investors that the blood could be used to feed the Blood Reiki, and after discovering that I would not die, they tied me to the cross with thorns and prayed that every child they baptized would be like me and that the blood could be used to feed the Blood Reiki - if such prayers also made me a god, then I am indeed an evil god."

Liu Jiayi looked at Tavel and her breath caught - the inanimate thorns in her eyes suddenly became red and hot, climbing the surface of the idol like pulsating veins, twisting and turning.

The thorns burrowed into each of the statue's veins, piercing the walls of Tavel's vessels with their sharp thorns and greedily sucking the blood and nutrients from the statue's body, which burrowed down into the heart of the statue, twisting and twisting inside the heart, feeding on its nutrients like a living creature and then secreting spores at the intersection of the vines.

These blood-red canes are blood-sucking mycelium, and wrapped in the spikes on top are spores that have not yet grown.

Tavel lowered his eyelashes, "I am the eternal sustenance of the blood primordial mother, and every sub-colony in the straw beds of the investor's hospital grows from the thorns that suck my blood and grow on me."

"I am a symbiont of the blood primordial."

After driving the vines that strangled the monster, the vines, or mycelium, swelled and sucked the blood from Tavel's body, wrapping it tighter and tighter, the thorny ropes of thorns scurrying and pulling through Tavel's veins and heart, and Tavel's face became visibly tired - which is why he became sleepy every time he used the Tavel's face became visibly tired - the reason why he wanted to sleep every time he used the vine to save Bai Liu.

It drives its mycelium to save Bai Liu, which then intensifies its efforts to extract blood and nutrients from its body.

Tavel slowly drops his eyelids as he looks intently at Bai Liu, still unconscious, lying in the baptismal pool in front of him.

It first met Bai Liu as a rotting mermaid fished up from the water by humans, placed in a window as an exhibit to attract tourists to its slaughter, eventually turning an entire town into a ghostly fish-man monster.

The second time it saw Bai Liu was a ghostly mirror stolen from a collector's house by thieves, hiding a fear that all humans in this world dare not face. The thieves, fearing day and night that it would break and that someone would come and steal it, placed a bomb in its body and eventually buried an entire carriage of passengers in flames.

It lowered three times to meet Bai Liu - Tavel lowered his eyes.

It is a child that fits the blood lucifer mother's supply and will not die or stop blood production but only sleep. Its special blood drives all the terminally ill investors mad and crazy and eventually turns hospitals and orphanages, two places that are supposed to do good deeds, into farm-like hell on earth.

So it was banished and exiled by the gods.

[Tavel, you were born evil, you can only sleep at the bottom of the sea, in the heart of the earth, in the shattered lenses of the untouchable by fear, in the darkness of the universe 13.7 billion light years away from here]

You are a god, you enjoy the faith of mankind, and you should be responsible for the human tragedies that result from your evil].

Thus do the gods on high pronounce, saying, Tavel, that there is no human being who can remain sane and not go mad at the sight of your true face, for you are so wicked, so full of compulsion to the abyss and extreme evil from your appearance to your soul, that you can corrupt the purest and most innocent child in all the latitudes cut out of time and space.

If a human being can keep his senses when he sees you, he will become -

--The next demon.

The next demon, sleeping on the snow-white baptismal pool tainted by the blood of a forbidden witch, is awakened by the gods from a dream filled with bloody fireflies, and Bai Liu's eyes slowly open.

Bai Liu is pale, neck up and head tilted, the tiniest parts of his arms and legs twisted and pulled tight by crimson vines, moving upwards inch by inch as the branches of the plant that redeems the terminally ill man shake and stretch across the surface of the terminally ill man's body - a very fragile, as if sacrificial offering pose.

The face of the sacrificial victim, the demon, the sick and dying patient concealed beneath the vines, hidden beneath the flower of evil watered by human desire, looks calmly at the fallen evil god bound by the same derivatives of human desire, while the awakened evil god looks back at him in silence.

"Will you be mad to see me?" Its voice buzzed and echoed in all directions in the vine engulfed church, as if a thousand people were judging the self-sacrificing congregation at once.

"Never." And the devilishly religious answered it with a smile.

The spikes on all the vines spreading from the statue burst open, blood-red spores floating through the church like shattered pieces of glowing planets, the glowing red candle light hovering in the air, dancing wildly, the spikes bursting from the top like a four-petalled, bursting flower of strangely coloured red clematis, wrapping impermeably around Tavel's cheeks and revealing only a pair of sculptural eyes without any emotion.

Liu Jiayi collapsed in a daze on the edge of the baptismal pool as soon as the spores bloomed and Liu Jiayi fell unconscious due to a drop in mental energy and blood loss.

Her wrist rested upwards on the edge of the pool, snaking towards it, bleeding in a steady stream, with several new cuts and an old one that had clotted a little.

"Her blood would not be drained enough to raise a blood primrose." Tavel, whose face was hidden under a thorn, whispered, "The blood lingzhi mother needs more blood."

That's why those investors don't use the mother to raise the blood reishi directly - the mother needs more and more blood to raise a mature blood reishi, and Tavel's blood regenerates at a rate that is only sufficient to maintain the supply of daughter strains, so they harvest the daughter strains from Tavel and cultivate them more efficiently and exclusively on their own.

"How much more do you need?" A thin voice came from the doorway of the church, Little Muke propped one hand against the door of the church, he clutched the hand that fell to his side as he looked deadly at the idol and asked, "With the blood of little Bai six and I, and the blood packets of Miao Feichi and Liu Jiayi that I just pulled out of Liu Huai, is that enough to to raise a blood lingzhi to save him?"

"Maybe it's still not enough." Tavel looked calmly at little Miao Gaojiang, unconscious on the floor, "but with this child and all the blood I have left, it will be enough."

Kneeling at the edge of the pool, little Muke rolled up his sleeve and used the knife that Liu Jiayi had dropped on the floor to make several vicious cuts on his thin arm, then took out little Bai six's blood bag - which was already somewhat clotted and layered and thoroughly cold, and which made little Muke's eyes red at the sight of it - and he He ripped open three blood bags and soaked them in the baptismal pool beneath Bai Liu, who was already too weak to move, and then cut his other arm and soaked both hands together.

Little Miao Gaojiang was dragged over by Tavel's cane and was cut and bled dryly by little Muke with a touch of gnashing of teeth - if it wasn't for this son of a bitch, they wouldn't have lost so many people!

"Ahem." Bai Liu coughed twice and looked sideways at Muke who had his hands in the water, Bai suddenly smiled, not really caring about his life-threatening situation and teased little Muke casually, "Don't you hate me? Why did you save me?"

Little Muke bowed his head and his voice was low: "...... little Bai six want to save you and you saved me so I want to save you too."

Liu Jiayi dips one hand through a gap in the vine into the cold water of the baptismal pool, her drowsy face resting against the edge of the pool, while her other hand gently pulls at the corner of Bai Liu's coat.

Her fragile upper body was covered in tear marks, and on her slim, thin arms was a shocking slash - the little girl had cut herself with a deadly hand, and seemed to know that she wouldn't last long in every aspect of her mental value consciousness, and was afraid she would pass out, cutting deep to prevent her blood from clotting.

Bai Liu turned his head back and he looked at the ceiling of the church as if he were replying to little Muke's answer, and as if he wasn't, his tone was light: "What childish logic."

The logic of a child seems to be so simple and easy and deceptive, you saved me, then I will save you, you have paid for me, then I will pay for you too.

Liu Jiayi is like this and Muke is like this.

So did little Bai six, and although he doesn't like to admit it, Bai Liu has to say that he hasn't grown much since he was a kid, and he's still on the same logic - a logic that is very purely transactional.

"And what did you save me for, Tavel?" Bai Liu asked softly, "I don't remember making a deal with you that would have made you pay for me with all your blood."

Tavel's face was completely engulfed in thorns, but his voice was not: "Your very existence is worth everything I have to give."

"Bai Liu." Tavel's voice was calm, as cold and solemn as if he were proclaiming some sacred, unknowable, once-in-a-lifetime vow in church, "You are my only believer."

[Tavel, if such a human being exists, then you have believers once again]

[A devilish, evil god's devotee]

"The gods are meant to fulfil all the requests of the faithful unconditionally." Tavel said.

Little Muke, who had lost a lot of blood, looked at the face of the statue and fainted with a wave of unspeakable fear and dizziness.

The vines on it flew up and wriggled, vines weaving their way through its body with a speed that made one's flesh ache just to look at it, quickly crawling all over the church like some kind of blood that had stained away in a pool.

The holy church was instantly transformed into a habitat of dark red, leaping vines, in which the spiky, little flowery pistil-like red spores, or rather substrates, thumped regularly as if they had a heartbeat, growing rapidly as if they had devoured some extraordinary sustenance, and instantly growing a heart-like mushroom.

Tavel's heart is also thumping, it is the same heartbeat as theirs.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, as if Tavel's heartbeat had been amplified a hundred times through these vines, echoing through the church.

Bai Liu looked at the vines that covered the sky, and these leaping [hearts], and finally his eyes slowly fell on the idol that had been so wrapped up that his face could not be seen, the dark red vines circling in a circle.

"If I am indeed your only believer." Bai Liu said in a scattered tone, jokingly, "Then save me, Tavel, my god."

The millions of [hearts] that were beating stopped for a moment.

Then it began to throb more intensely, frantically.

The vine's began to shrivel and a rose-like, red, heart-sized blood lingzhi began to grow from each vine from the tip, millions of shimmering, leaping red blood lingzhi grew from the withered black vines like fields of roses at night when it was flowering season, decadent and unrestrained before withering came.

The vines on the statue withered, withered and blackened, slipping away, and Tavel came down from the statue and propped himself up on either side of the baptismal font, the ever-cold god dropping his eyes, his lips now a near blood temperature, kissing Bai Liu's forehead and whispering.

"Divine baptism for your new birth, my only believer."
