After the crowd had dismantled a small tent and spread it out in the middle of a field of flowers, Bai Liu himself trudged up from the pit and placed the hand he was clutching in the centre of the cloth.

All keep a distance from Bai Liu so as not to be contaminated, but persistently stay there, quietly, like the tide, chasing Bai Liu's muddy heels, following him, pushing him forward.

Bai Liu continues to dig into the ground to unearth a fragmented carcass.

The left hand, the left foot, the lower leg, half of the rib cage, the neck from the first to the third cervical vertebrae completely, were dug deeper and deeper out of the earth by Bai Liu and then placed without a trace of expression on the cloth and reassembled according to the laws of human construction.

As the entire body is stitched together with only the head and the heart, blood vessels reshape and grow from the clotted musculature, torn nerves connect along smooth fascial breaks, and the hollow, heartless chest begins to undulate faintly as if it were breathing.

The sculpted body, which could not see the warm blood flowing, was reborn in a strange way, and began to function before Bai Liu's eyes.

Bai Liu was quiet, not saying a word, digging and carrying, piecing his body together, mentally affected by the strain, almost collapsing several times, but no one could come to his aid - and of course he didn't need to, mostly just laying himself down in the mud, taking two deep breaths and stumbling back to his feet. He stumbled back to his feet.

Bai Liu's face showed no emotion whatsoever, but Liu Jiayi felt, for some reason, that although the man looked so miserable digging the ground, as if he was miserable, he was actually very happy.

--It's that kind of joy, of being reunited with someone very important after a long time.

" Mr. Bai, come on up! There are no more fields for you to continue digging!" The stragglers shouted from the shore with their hands raised in a trumpet-like manner.

Liu Jiayi scanned the statue Bai Liu had pieced together from a distance, and although she couldn't quite make it out, it did appear to have no head, which made her frown: "How can there still be a missing head part? Am I missing a number?"

Bai Liu wrapped the statue in cloth and tried to carry it, but failed twice, and eventually he chose to ask a straggler to help him bring a cart over and he was able to push the statue out of the flower field.

As soon as he stepped out, he heard Liu Jiayi questioning him. Bai Liu waved his hand and leaned back against the trolley to catch his breath before returning Liu Jiayi's words, "It's not that you remember less, the head shouldn't be buried in the flower field."

Liu Jiayi kept a distance from Bai Liu as she looked at him suspiciously: "So, where would the head be buried?"

"It's a game." Bai Liu's gaze went to the rose factory where the gunshots kept ringing out and smiled up, "The best and most beautiful rewards, of course, come after killing the biggest bosses."

Liu Jiayi reacted with a jolt and she said incredulously to herself, "In the inner world, it can't be hiding in that monster's ......"

"Well, it should be in the massive body of that monster factory owner." Bai Liu said.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes half-closed, his breathing clear after his labours: "This factory manager, who sees Tavel as a symbol of desire, blames Tavel for making him go on a killing spree, feels that a demon has manipulated his consciousness to make him commit such crimes - a very typical of a murderer with an overactive sense of self and with moral attributes."

"This type of serial killer usually leaves behind what he subjectively considers to be the most valuable souvenirs after a killing, such as his adoptive parents' inheritance, his wife's rose greenhouse." Bai Liu turns his head and looks up at a shocked Liu Jiayi, "like the parts of Tavel he finds most beautiful - the head and the heart."

"So what are you going to do?" Liu Jiayi looked serious, "That monster is an S-rank monster, so you can use your weaknesses to escape, but you're trying to kill it! It's too difficult! To kill an S-rank monster, the King's Guild would need at least twenty or more reserve team members to cooperate."

"I really can't do it." Bai Liu handed the cart to Liu Jiayi, "but Captain Tang in an outbreak situation should be able to do it, I'll go find Captain Tang and ask him to help me, you guys keep an eye on it for me - be careful not to let the monster take it away ."

Bai Liu curled her eyes back into a smile and waved her hand as she ran off towards the factory, "I'd cry with sadness if I lost it."

"Hey! Wait!" Liu Jiayi scrambled to pick up the trolley, but in the nick of time remembered that it was best not to go near the trolley so easily, she would be contaminated.

In the end Liu Jiayi had no choice but to use the long pincers of the flower-picker to hold the handle of the cart and push it along.

Looking at Bai Liu's back, who was already running far away, Liu Jiayi was a bit devastated: "I asked you to leave some of the things to me, but I didn't ask you to dump all the messes on me!"

"Why don't you talk to me about what you're going to do? ......" Liu Jiayi grimaced in displeasure and muttered in a small voice, " Captain Tang Captain Tang, is he your captain and you call him that? You're so close?"

"I even took a bullet for you from this what's-his-name Captain Tang ......"

The more Liu Jiayi spoke, the more depressed she became, so angry that one side of her face puffed up and she stomped her foot, "You don't hold a grudge!"

At the other end, the unforgiving Bai Liu hadn't even reached the factory entrance before he held one hand up to his mouth as a trumpet PA and waved the other up in the air, calling out with great glee, " Captain Tang, I'm coming to you for help!"

Tang Erda, who was guarding the entrance of the factory with God Quan's full attention, almost lost her soul at Bai Liu's shout and almost shot her gun away.

"--Don--Captain--you--are--busy--and--finished? --busy--finished--with--it?"

Tang Erda didn't react and thought it was one of the Bai six who was trying to scare him, so he almost shot the Bai Liu.

But it's a good thing he got it under control in time, otherwise this article would have ended here.

Tang Erda gathers her magazine with palpitations - half shocked by the fact that she almost shot Bai Liu, and half frightened by Bai Liu's overzealous appearance.

He straightened his face and quickly distanced himself from Bai Liu, who was approaching him, and said coldly, "What are you calling me for?"

"There's something I need to ask you for." Bai Liu smiles, looking inexplicably in a good mood.

Tang Erda sharply raises his hand to kill a monster that approaches Bai Liu from behind, his icy scowl broken, and he can't help but criticise Bai Liu: "Why don't you watch out for the monsters around you - what do you need my help with? "

Bai Liu gave a brief account of what had happened, and Tang Erda frowned a little uncomfortably as he listened - he had seen Bai Liu's mirror and knew that this godlike NPC was Bai Liu's most important person, and now he was going to find his head cut off and hidden in the monster's body, which didn't sound like a A very pleasant thing to do.

But Bai Liu seems to be having a good time, which makes Tang Erda feel inexplicably mixed emotions and a bit of compassionate weakness - is Bai Liu hiding his sadness with a smile ......

He is so strong.

"I'd be up for it." Tang Erda's tone eased considerably, "But what about the monsters in the factory?"

If Tang Erda had not been here to guard the factory entrance, the monsters in the factory would have run out and wreaked havoc in all directions, and if he and Bai Liu had gone into the inner world, the place would have been unguarded.

"Don't worry about that." Bai Liu didn't give any thought to Liu Jiayi's feelings as he started selling his teammates without a second thought, "The monster ran out, the little witch and Qi Yifang will take care of it."

Tang Erda ponders for a moment - Liu Jiayi and Qi Yifang are indeed very strong, both have group attack skills, and in this timeline would have been in the King's Guild's reserves, trained by Hearts.

Although there are many of these monsters, they are not high level and should not cause much pressure on them after running out and scattering ......

Tang Erda put away her own gun and looked sideways at Bai Liu: "How do you get into the inner world you speak of?"

Bai Liu held out a bloody eyeball - which he had torn from the creature's face - and it was only at this moment that the smile on his face began to take on a dangerous quality, a sense of intimidation that made Tang Erda's back tense - a smile like that Bai Liu, really does look so much like Bai six ......

There is a disturbingly strong aggressiveness.

Bai Liu lifted his eyelids and held up the eyeball in front of his right eye: "Just look at this eyeball with your right eye."

Tang Erda is a dozen centimetres taller than Bai Liu, and he has to lean forward and crouch down slightly to get his right eye right in front of this eyeball.

When the two men's eyes were at the same level as this right eye, the eye began to blink and it opened its rose-cracked eyelids while, at the same time, the rose in Bai Liu's right eye blossomed to its last petal.

The world in their eyes is a kaleidoscope of folds, roses repeatedly mapped on the broken glass of the greenhouse, turning into millions of fading roses that wrap around their eyes, the greenhouse, and all the land they see.

A deep red to light pink halo takes shape and breaks apart, the buds grow out from the eye, from the base of the skull, from the silvery blue mouth that one cannot stop growing inwards, then wither away the leaves to become a manfully beautiful, pavilion of dried leaf roses that twine around the heart and grow vigorously from the nutrients provided by the evil gods.

After a knee-weakening dizzy spell, Tang Erda enters this faded inner world.

A monster the size of a small mountain stood before them, its body as huge as if it were devouring a rose hothouse, its skin was a gushing, large bubble like a viscous liquid rolling away, with roses growing hidden inside, and all those it swallowed were turned into sustenance.

And now it stares straight at Bai Liu - the man who took his right eye - with a thin, yellow, ugly, pus-filled left eye.

[System warning: The monster (Generation Leader) has targeted player Bai Liu with its hate value! Player Bai Liu has no ability to fight this monster, please flee the scene quickly!

If it was before, Bai Liu would have turned and run without hesitation, but now, Bai Liu darted to a safe area behind Tang Erda and hid, waving at him as he did so, " Captain Tang, please take care of this monster first."

Tang Erda: "......"

Tang Erda, once again regretting that she was in the wrong boat, quickly raised her gun and, with a sharp look in her eyes, shot the creature that was trying to get close to Bai Liu's hiding closet in the left eye.

The floor shook with its struggles, dust fell from the walls, and small spider-like creatures, seemingly awakened by the commotion, crawled out from all sides of the room and approached Tang Erda with a hideous hiss.

But these monsters, which could have sent Bai Liu and the King's Guild members scurrying around the room, would not have been able to meet Tang Erda.

He moved crisply, one shot at a time, except for a brief moment when a magazine change brought the monsters closer, steadily pinning such a large group of monsters three metres from where Bai Liu was hiding, the Tang Erda bullets sweeping across the area like an invisible safety line, protecting Bai Liu without a trace.

After the first round of sweeping, Tang Erda scanned the room with cold eyes, making sure there were no little monsters that would kill the now brittle Bai Liu in one bite, and then, without looking back, she said coldly, "Come out."

"The little monsters are swept clean, the big ones are invisible, and the hate value locks on you are useless."

Bai Liu moved out from behind a wardrobe, patting himself down and sweeping the room full of bodies of monsters killed by almost a single shot neatly yarded three metres away from where he was hiding, even in a similar position before they died.

Bai Liu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Tang Erda, who stood calmly in front of him, without even a trace of dust on her sleeves.

--This guy, is really strong.

He had the right feeling earlier that Tang Erda's panel value should be well above S.

Tang Erda tossed Bai Liu a semi-circular sniper scope and gave a slight sideways nod back at Bai Liu: "Take this prop, I don't usually use a scope with guns in the game, but this scope has a slow playback function, but you can use it to see what's inside this monster's body and the trajectory of my bullet movement. "

"There are too many human heads in this monster's body and I'm not sure whose you want, so there's a chance you'll aim while fighting this monster later, so take this prop and if you see I'm about to hit the one you want's head, just warn me and I'll move out of the firing line."

"Won't it affect you if I interfere with the command like this from the sidelines?" Bai Liu politely inquired as he glanced up at the large monster, "This is an S rank monster."

Tang Erda gave Bai Liu a faint glance back: "Not really, on the field of play, the tactician's command interferes more than that."

"Aren't you going to play in the league?" Tang Erda looked up at the large monster, one leg back in a jumping position, countless dots of light converging on the silver revolver in her hand, "Now get to know what it means to be a league player."

[System Alert: Is player Tang Erda equipped with Monster Book Status: The Fading Rose Hunter]

[OK].

Tang Erda's hair floats and blows in the points of light, and the pupils in her ethereal blue eyes contract violently and vertically to take on the appearance of wolf eyes.

The silver pistol branch in his left hand arrived in a dazzling gathering of points of light, the gun elongating to about a metre, some sort of vine like band of equipment growing and spreading rapidly from its position on Tang Erda's chest, coiling up to the end of the gun, a huge rose decorated hovering magazine floating behind the body of the revolver with a constant click-click-click of bullets being loaded.

"Watch the trajectory of my bullets." Tang Erda gave Bai Liu a sidelong glance, "If you don't pay attention, it's not my fault if you hit it."

The next second, Tang Erda seemed to press down just slightly with the retreating leg, and with a single shot to the ground with the overly long, bizarre revolver, the whole man levitated backwards on the recoil of the ammunition and disappeared in front of Bai Liu, leaving only a little remnant and a strong, gunpowder-scented wind blowing through Bai Liu's hair.

It soon became clear to Bai Liu why Tang Erda had given him a scope with a slow-play function.

Because Tang Erda was moving so fast, Bai Liu could not even see how Tang Erda was imaged, but only the wind track of countless ammunition and people moving fast crisscrossing in front of him, and then the creature violently twisted and struggled, letting out a heartbreaking scream as if it was being abused.

Bai Liu puts on the scope.

In the red field of view of the scope, the bullets tumbled forward in an odd trajectory, intertwining in front of him as if they were infrared alarm devices all over a space.

A tentacle flung itself towards Bai Liu, but before it could touch him, it was pierced by a bullet from nowhere, turning into a charred tentacle that bounced helplessly on the ground.

The creature had numerous heads inside its body, like a crane machine filled with many dolls of similar size and shape, and this crane machine was still bouncing, which made it more difficult to tell the exact location of one of the heads inside.

Bai Liu quickly scanned the creature's body twice and soon he identified Tavel's exact location, while he saw a bright red firing line that appeared to be aimed at Tavel.

"We're almost there, Captain Tang." Bai Liu said, speaking very quickly.

Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Liu saw the firing line shift, exploding a head next to Tavel's.

Bai Liu breathed a faint sigh of relief, but his concentration was too focused, coupled with the effects of the scope's field of view, which was translucent in texture for much of it, except for the bones and ballistics, to locate an item specifically.

So Bai Liu didn't notice that the creature had crawled up to his head and opened its "petals" at him, ready to swallow him.

The next second, Tang Erda appeared out of nowhere in front of Bai Liu, holding a metre-long gun in his left hand, the muzzle of which was aimed at the monster's head with Tang Erda's back to the monster, while his other hand jammed into Bai Liu's shoulder and flipped it over, shielding Bai Liu in front of him, while the rose magazine surrounding the gun kept emitting The other hand jammed into Bai Liu's shoulder and flipped him over, shielding him in front of him while the rose magazine surrounding the gun continued to make the crunching sound of "da da da da".

The muzzle of the gun aimed at the monster's head flashed red.

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

The behemoth of a monster slowly fell backwards to the dusty ground amidst constant gunfire.

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Tang Erda for killing the S-rank monster - (Generation Factory Manager)!

A clean, concentrated onslaught of fire that kills in seconds.

After the monster fell to the ground, Tang Erda instantly stepped back and distanced himself from Bai Liu, shaking his fist uncomfortably as if he was unhappy with his subconscious act of protecting Bai Liu, then he looked up slightly sternly as if remembering something and reprimanded Bai Liu: "Didn't I tell you to watch out for the monsters around you? I thought I told you to watch out for monsters around you."

"How do you play in a league when the focus is only on the goal?"
