Chapter 150: The Dangerous Heretics Treatment Authority

---------- --------

The blurred memories, the odd, unclear points of connection, the location and appearance of the flooded pond he could never recall, and the strange, one-word altered name ......

In this moment, as the water fades, Tang Erda's hiss finally emerges in its entirety from the memory of Bai Liu buried in the mud and sand beneath the water.

The dizzying white light swirled and dissipated before Bai Liu's eyes, turning into a metallic ceiling, as if he had been dragged up from the bottom of a deep, cold lake, his fingers trembling slightly, his chest heaving violently as he choked and coughed, trying to cough up the water that had been poured into his throat and lungs.

Tang Erda was still pressing him: " Bai Liu, do you remember?"

Bai Liu turned over, propped himself up on the ground with one hand and staggered against the wall, coughing as he stood up, and then when he had almost finally recovered, the man had the time to fix his shirt buttons and fasten his collar, which had been split twice by the water.

Bai Liu looks up slowly and leisurely at the communicator on which Tang Erda is talking to him.

"I remembered." Bai Liu rhetorically asked as he buttoned up his shirt in a casual manner, "So what? Xie Ta's dead, and now we're the ones making the deal?"

Tang Erda is over there gritting her teeth in silence.

This guy ...... was psychologically pressured three times, and his mindset was completely unshocked, more difficult to handle than any of the other timeline Bai six ......

And has this guy really remembered?!

"The solution to the dried rose leaf gas, I can certainly hand it to you." Bai Liu looked up, talking about something he didn't even know about as if he had it all figured out.

With a very sincere expression Bai Liu began to babble, "But you have to take something for it too."

Tang Erda had a subtle, unsettling premonition.

Then Bai Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Didn't I tell you, you sell me your soul and I'll give you the treatment plan, Captain Tang."

Without any expression on her face, Tang Erda pushed the drainage time on the operating table to [240 seconds].

The team member next to him looked at him apprehensively, " Team Tang, four minutes of submersion is too long, what if he is just a normal person and drowns here--"

"I'm in full charge." Tang Erda gave the team member an indifferent sidelong glance, and the team member scowled and shut up.

Lu Yizhan, who was stopped by two members of the team behind him, struggled and shouted: "You haven't investigated the whole story! You can't torture Bai Liu between you like this! He's innocent!"

Tang Erda waved her hand without looking back, "Take him to the other room and lock him up, don't let him come running over and interrupt us again."

Lu Yizhan was taken away.

Tang Erda stared at the screen as he picked up his communicator once more, " Bai six, I'm going to give you one last chance, what exactly is the treatment plan for the dried rose leaf gas?"

Bai Liu also looked at him with a smile, "And I say for the last time, Captain Tang, trade with me now and I will give you a price for your soul that will quite please you."

Tang Erda took a deep breath before he could control his anger at the communicator, he suppressed his rage and forced himself to calm down and continue to persuade Bai Liu: "You know Bai six, I never understood why you are so obsessed with bringing these horrible heretics into the real world, turning it into a complete horror game. What good is the game to you?"

"Do you live in this world too, a world where monsters walk everywhere, and do you live?"

"A world full of horror games and stories." Bai Liu tilted his head, a very strange smile on his face, "It's what makes a reunion worthwhile, isn't it?"

"I've always felt that it was the world before us that was scarier than a world full of monsters." Bai Liu lifted his eyelids, and his black eyes seemed to have a spiralling, broken universe to suck in all the light.

Bai Liu shrugged and said in a casually flirtatious tone with a bit of a lazy grin, "Maybe I like monsters more than people, I don't find them scary."

"Although this isn't the first time I've thought you were sick like this, every time I have more contact with you, my perception of you as a lunatic deepens." The communicator in Tang Erda's hand creaked as he squeezed it, his teeth clenched as he pressed the button without hesitation, "I hope you'll give me the same answer in four minutes."

Behind Bai Liu the door to [1807] opens again and the water rushes out.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the base.

Liu Jiayi stands motionless in the diminishing water for a while.

Even Muke, who was a little more composed, started to rush her a little: "No water movement yet?"

Liu Jiayi shook his head, "The water is flowing in the wrong direction, it's draining now not out, the flow is leading to the drains on all sides, Bai Liu should be near the outflow."

"Did you not feel it? Mu Sicheng, who had already been pushed hundreds of times, was so anxious that he wanted to turn into a fish in place, "Shit, if only I had that lateral line that could sense the direction of the current!"

But in reality, there is only one Liu Jiayi who has the ability to fish.

"If this doesn't work, how about switching to the option with the previous coordinates?" Muke asked Liu Jiayi with a frown.

At the end of his sentence, Liu Jiayi, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly jerked her head up and she looked straight ahead: "It's starting to drain again, this way!"

With that, Liu Jiayi plunged into the water, wiggling her bare feet rapidly, her hands to her side, swimming so fast that she could only see a long fish-like streak as she scurried beneath the surface.

Liu Jiayi flipped and sprinted against the current that surged out of the channel.

She heard the sound of someone floating in the current, about to choke and open their mouth, the foam rolling upwards.

At each corner and passage, usually guarded by a patrolman, Liu Jiayi nudges the corner and, like an incredibly nimble fish, swirls smoothly under the arms that are trying to catch her, eyes closed, and leaps out of the water.

"A patroller." Liu Jiayi whispers with his eyes closed.

After these words, Liu Jiayi flips again and rows into the water with only a very shallow splash.

Surveillance of the base depends largely on the patrols and reports of these patrols as patrolmen are preparing to report the strange intruder on their communicators. With all the water, surveillance can be interfered with.

But just as the patrolman raised his communicator, two other men, also dressed as patrolmen, rushed around the corner and, before the patrolman had time to react, they gave him a crisp chokehold, leaving the patrolman, who was wearing a breathing mask, unconscious and suspended in the water.

A panting Muke and a shaking Mu Sicheng look at each other: "Go!"

---------- --

"It's been over three minutes. ......" The team looked in horror at Bai Liu on the monitor with his back up, his limbs suspended and his eyelids closed, "He hasn't breathed in almost ten seconds. Team Tang, should we continue?"

Countless tiny bubbles float from Bai Liu's eyelashes and melt into his floating hair, his face blue and white, his lips slightly parted, he looks like a drowned corpse.

Tang Erda frowned - he'd done the same thing to Bai six in other timelines, guys who could go through ten of these asphyxiation cycles and end up with their lungs filling up with water and Bai six would still be able to smile at him badly, grinning with trembling lips as he explained the solution to the dried rose leaf gas. A veritable psychopath and monster.

Even if Tang Erda managed to get what she wanted from Bai six by such means, Tang Erda did not feel the joy of a victor at all, only tiredness and exhaustion.

But Bai Liu in this timeline is just too weird in every sense of the word ......

"Three minutes and thirty seconds!" The team member who had been staring at the monitor screen panicked and looked to Tang Erda, " Team Tang ! Drain it!"

Tang Erda stared at Bai Liu, who was unmoving on the screen, and finally he waved his hand, "Drain."

The team took a long breath and pressed the drain button, but the whole base suddenly shook and the team grabbed the control panel in panic to steady their shaking bodies, "What the hell?! What's happening?!"

"Report-!!!" Someone came running up and down from another monitoring room, with a face of visible panic, " Team Tang, all the heretics housed at the base, have suddenly started rioting! And we've just spotted three intruders!"

"Heresy riots, what does that mean?" The member of the team sitting next to Tang Erda was a bit dumbfounded.

He had come to this bizarre base that had been housing these strange heretics in disarray, but they had never seen them riot.

Because Tang Erda, who had returned from other timelines, was familiar with these heresies, he always took care of everything before it happened.

But by now, Tang Erda, unfamiliar and disoriented, looked at the panicked team members who had no idea what to do and just ran around, and he subconsciously backed away.

It was only just now that a very fatal point dawned on him ----

---- That's because he's already taken care of all the heretics, and these members of the team who are otherwise relatively experienced in dealing with heretics haven't even really seen the dangerous side of heresy.

Simply put, these players simply did not have the ability to deal with the heretical riots, including the ones Tang Erda took to the championship that year, none of the players in his third team had that ability.

These people had already been raised by him to be wasted, they had only even been exposed to the concept of [humanoid heresy] this evening and were still suspicious of Tang Erda, actually starting to capture living people and calling them heretics, only barely keeping their mouths shut due to the authority of his captain, but the look on their faces showed that they did not approve or even fear Tang Erda.

They feel that Tang Erda has gone insane from too much exposure to heretics, that her mind and spirit are not working properly, and that she may have drank herself silly.

Su Yang included feels the same way.

The extreme manner in which Tang Erda had dealt with many of the heretics beforehand had already made many on the base reject Tang Erda, and they looked at him with a strange and repulsive look, with dislike and a touch of undetectable fear.

It was like looking at a [humanoid heretic].

He went from being the captain Tang Erda, loved and trusted by all, to the alcoholic Tang Erda, shunned and suspected by all.

These remaining players shivered.

"Why are the heretics rioting?! Check out the reasons?!"

"I don't know, all the heretics are starting to riot, some are banging on doors, some are disappearing into surveillance, all of them are experiencing degrees of Buming instability."

Tang Erda's hands are propped up on the monitor panel as he stares at Bai Liu's dead face on the screen as the waterline drops to the surface.

The problem of the heresy riots must lie with this man! -- Tang Erda is more than sure of that.

Bai Liu's shirt hovers softly in the current, not clinging to Bai Liu's body, and a pendant - a shiny, silver coin - slowly floats out from the place at his neck.

There was a strange sense of fluctuation in the water around this coin, as if the coin was vibrating and echoing something.

The moment he saw the coin, Tang Erda suddenly realised something and fumbled for his pocket, his face suddenly darkening.

--- the reverse cross pendant in his pocket that he had snatched from Bai Liu, rolling and hot.

Just now, Bai Liu, this guy had been talking to him to stall for time, and he was looking for the sign of the cross on him with the coin! He was deliberately provoking him into flooding him with water for a long time!

This madman!!!

Tang Erda's back teeth are gnashing in the grooves.

The devout prayers of the evil god's only followers summoned the evil god, so the evil god controlled its contaminant heretics to save its dying followers ---- So these heretics rioted!!!

Tang Erda quickly locked onto the drainage button on the control panel and was ready to stop the drainage without hesitation, but the moment he was ready to press it, the whole base shook violently again and his whole body was shaken to the ground, with only one member of the team grabbing the lever on the control panel and not being thrown off.

The water line on the monitor screen was still descending and had reached the point above Bai Liu's head.

Tang Erda yelled at the top of her lungs to the crew member holding the joystick, "Shut off the drain! Don't let him out of the water!!!"

The team member hadn't reacted, "What?!"

It is already too late.

Bai Liu, who had been floating motionlessly in the water on the screen, opened his eyes and the reverse cross in Tang Erda's pocket buzzed.

After a deafening sound of metal doors opening and closing, the doors of all the rooms in the base where the heretics were being held were opened.

A few seconds of near-blank silence fell over the surveillance room, and so did the expressions on everyone's faces.

They looked at the surveillance screen with both eyes glazed over.

As the level lowered, Bai Liu went from being suspended in mid-air to standing firmly on the floor of the corridor, his hair dripping from his sides, his breathing still a little unsteady, leaning weakly against the wall of the corridor, but he smiled.

Bai Liu smiled up at the screen with a pale face, "Well, are you willing to consider a deal with me now, Captain Tang ?"

A second later, all the surveillance turned into a snowy screen.
