Chapter 309: The Dense Forest Frontier

Liu Jiayi stared deathly at the lake, and she turned her head to the gods: "Am I absolutely not allowed to pass?"

"Better not." The Reverse God looked at Tang Erda who was holding her gun, "You too, if Bai Liu sees you two, you might be sent to another map, you don't have Spades' ability to cut through space, if you get sent again, you'll probably just quit the game."

Liu Jiayi closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

Reason tells her that this reverse god is right, but ......

"We're Bai Liu's teammates." Liu Jiayi stared at the Reverse God, "Isn't there anything we can do?"

The Reverse God shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I'm on Spades' team too, but now look, is there anything I can do?"

"There's a connection between these two." The Reverse God turned his head, looking out over the rippling lake, "Not something we teammates can plug into."

Below the lake.

The corpses swam back and forth with grimy, rotting faces, the darkness blocking out all light.

Bai Liu conceals himself behind a mass of bodies, nothing on his face as he slowly sinks.

A pure black whip swings from side to side, cracking open the body that conceals Bai Liu, the faint dawn of the lake falling on his face as the body is flung away.

Spades' cold face appeared in front of Bai Liu's face as he took a one-handed grip on the long, spiky whip Bai Liu had swung at him.

Bone spikes pierced his palms and as Bai Liu pulled the whip back down, a spray of blood erupted from within Spades' palms in the water.

But this did not deter Spades from moving closer to Bai Liu, who clutched his whip-wielding wrist and pulled upwards with great force.

Bai Liu's mouth opened subconsciously as he was yanked open, and a huge amount of water rushed into his throat, throwing him right out of the water and spinning him twice on the ground before he choked and coughed and lifted the back of his hand to wipe the water off his mouth and try to stand up.

Spades suddenly appeared behind Bai Liu, who had just stood up, bent his knees into the air and kneed Bai Liu on the back of his neck, and with an expressionless squeeze, Bai Liu was brought down to one knee.

Bai Liu subconsciously tries to whip back.

But Spades was too quick, taking control of Bai Liu's shoulders and sliding down with his hands, grabbing Bai Liu's wrists and lifting them in a reverse shear, while his left knee was still pressed against the back of Bai Liu's neck.

A total, arresting pose.

Bai Liu sinks to his knees and gasps for breath, his fingers curling as if in a struggle to retract, his long hair spreading to cover the side of his face and falling sinuously to the ground, droplets of water swaying from Bai Liu's eyelashes.

The black whip with its bone spikes fell aside, the black paint on it resting breathlessly on the three-quarters of the stained black and no longer spreading upwards.

The force of Spades' knee was so strong that Bai Liu had to lean back to look at Spades, who was holding him down.

Bai Liu's eyes have a kind of lax hollowness to them, his chest heaves slightly, and his eyes are a very light red from having just been suffocated.

Spades dropped his head to look at Bai Liu, his eyes focused, but the look on his face was unfamiliar and his tone was as cold as it had ever been, "-- Bai Liu, didn't you say you were going to beat me?"

"You're no match for me now with this self-loathing look on your face."

"Why do you do this self-exile, this self-erasing to yourself, when the original you could have beaten me, beaten anyone?" Spades questioned him calmly, "-doesn't it make you sick to look at yourself now as a mere carrier of other people's desires and weapons?"

"I'm never going to let you, like that, win over me in a game."

Spades slowly reached out to remove the reverse cross pendant from Bai Liu's neck.

Bai Liu's pupils contracted slightly for a moment, and the blackness that had been stagnant on the whip next to him began to twist and turn throughout the whip as if it had boiled over, and he suddenly smiled a little.

"Who are you to say that about me?" Bai Liu stared up at Spades, the smile on his face becoming extremely dangerous, his lightly coloured lips opening and closing slightly, droplets of water trailing down his jaw and across the knot of his throat, "-weren't you the first to do something like erase yourself?"

Spades gives an imperceptible start.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu is mobilizing all the corpses in the lake ......]

A huge, twisted hand of corpse slammed out of the lake and slammed hard into Spades, who tried to drag Bai Liu out of the way, but Bai Liu flipped over and grabbed the long, black, spiky whip next to him.

The moment he rolled to his knees, Bai Liu's eyes were cold as he aimed a diagonal upward lash at the approaching Spades.

Spades sidesteps it.

Bai Liu kept his attack going, bone spikes fully open, aiming for Spades' throat and pulling back, attempting to pull Spades' large blood vessels straight through with the whip's bone spikes.

The reverse cross pendant swings out of Bai Liu's shirt collar with a dark, almost blood-coloured glow as it moves.

The glow shone on the huge corpse's hand behind Bai Liu, which twisted and struck at Spades as if in a frenzy.

The huge corpse's hand hammered heavily into the ground, cracks cracking in the ground, and Spades, the size of a pea in front of the huge corpse's hand, jumped and dodged with agility.

Spades' whip fell again and again, striking the corpse's hand, which was scattered into pieces that, undead, soon gathered again and stood in Bai Liu's way.

Bai Liu raised his whip and, defended and assisted by corpse hands, fought off the ever-attacking Spades.

Long wet hair flew loose at Bai Liu's side, while the whip in his hand grew darker and darker, and the smile on his face had a cruelty that was almost careless: the

"What do you have to be angry about?"

"Wasn't it you yourself who appeared to me time and time again to play games with me, and then took the liberty of erasing your own existence, gutting your own heart and erasing my memory to leave?"

Bai Liu's eyes had an almost fiery light that wavered between his dark eyes.

"-I haven't even said anything."

Bai Liu's whip suddenly appears from the side of Spades under the cover of a corpse's hand, and Spades quickly dodges it as Bai Liu suddenly appears from the other side.

The whip opposite Spades disappeared like a shadow, boomeranging back into Bai Liu's hand, who swung it out, his tone cold.

"-you have something to be angry about in front of me."

The whip rumbled into Spades' back, sending him straight into a crater, followed by the whistling hammer of the corpse's hand, which sent up a huge cloud of smoke.

The mud on the shore of the lake is all cracked, and the pit that Spades fell into collapses into the water as it cracks.

Bai Liu stood over the corpse, his eyes downcast at the pit that had fallen into the water, the whip in his hand down to its last shred of white.

He was quiet for a moment, nothing emotional in his eyes, and slowly raised his hand in a downward gesture.

There is such a thing as winning or losing a game agreed between two people, when one player makes a desertion.

There would be no point.

The huge corpse's hand was raised high in the air and smashed down viciously, sending waves of water into the sky.

Bai Yi next to me had his eyes straight: "...... Holy shit, that's gotta be a couple of S rank monsters ......"

"Against the gods." Bai Jiamu snapped his head around to look at the Reverse God, " Spades is not going to be in trouble, is he?"

The Reverse God glanced hesitantly at the still violently shifting water, "I don't think so? Spades are very defensive ......"

" Spades gets hit by one of these corpses, he's linked to them and is losing his own blood whenever he resists." Tang Erda suggested hesitantly, "And Spades has just been fighting back, I feel like he should have lost a lot of life, are you sure you don't really want to go down there and check it out?"

Liu Jiayi, now seeing that Bai Liu was okay, very calmly added next to him, "When we saw Spades, he told us he only had 37 points left to live."

Bai Jiamu: "......"

Bai Yi: "......"

Against the Gods: "......"

Oh no, Spades isn't really going to be their "corpse" teammate!

The god of reversal sits slumped on his knees at the edge of the lake, raising his hands to wipe his tears: " Spades! Spades! Come out, Spades! I will never teach you so harshly again!"

"I thought Bai Liu would show you mercy and at least leave you in one piece for the sake of your old friendship with him!"

"Oooooooh." Bai Yi howled, " Spades, I will never again curse you to death for not recognising me as your teammate on the field, you better not die, I'm more likely to die on the field if you do, just come back!"

Bai Jiamu stared for a moment, then with a solemn look, he gave a heavy fist bump to the shore of the lake and said in silence, " Spades, I will always remember you as a teammate."

Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda: "......"

What's up with this team?

Spades hasn't even left yet, so you guys act like you're ready to throw him a banquet!

"Hey!" Liu Jiayi warily interrupted the gods' fake sobbing, "What the hell are you selling in your gourds? Won't something happen to Spades?"

The mournful look on the Reverse God's face was suddenly withdrawn and turned into a smiling face, "How can I put it, Spades This guy's life value is not only 37, even if it's only 7, it's not an easy thing to get him killed."

"But..." The smile on the Reverse God's face narrowed as he looked towards Bai Liu, who had jumped into the lake and seemed to be searching for Spades, "- I really didn't expect Bai Liu to actually kill him."

" Spades will not die so easily with his current life level, but it will still be difficult to win against Bai Liu, but Spades should know that he cannot win against Bai Liu with the evil god and the world line added."

" Bai Liu did exactly what he said he would do, he won against Spades and Spades should have a new goal after this."

The Reverse God rubbed the wound on his shoulder and grimaced as he stood up, "I've basically accomplished all my goals, so I can basically pack up and get ready to quit the game."

Liu Jiayi dodges alertly, "How do you know Spades isn't really dead?"

"Because it's a game pool, you can quit the game at any time." The Reverse God smiled, " Spades, the guy seems pretty clueless, but he won't do it the hard way, and he'll run away when he really knows he can't win."

"You can all prepare to exit the game while I sort out and finish up with just one last objective." The Reverse God's eyes settled on Bai Liu as he dived down.

Liu Jiayi was alerted, "What are you doing to Bai Liu?"

"Stopping Bai Liu from becoming a full-blown evil god heir, ah." The Reverse God said casually, waving a hand with a smile, "Don't thank me too much for helping, it's everyone's responsibility to protect rare tactician resources."

Liu Jiayi looked suspiciously at the bowl-sized wound on the Reverse God's shoulder: "You were just beaten like a dog by Bai Liu, can you stop Bai Liu?"

"...... What a shitty thing to say." The Reverse God feigned anger, "You little girl, your mouth is too dirty, watch out for me to sue you later with your family tactician."

Liu Jiayi rolls his eyes breathlessly.

"But I do have something that can clamp down on Bai Liu." The Reverse God took a step forward and turned his back on Liu Jiayi, his voice still laced with laughter, "My skillful weapon can clamp down on evil gods, isn't that impressive!"

Liu Jiayi was stunned for a moment and his face became astonished.

The skillful weapon that holds the evil god at bay, what is this reverse god's origin?!

"Then why do you want to help us?" Liu Jiayi asked after a suspicious pause, "Is there something you need us to do for you?"

The Reverse God turned back to Liu Jiayi with a smile that arched his eyebrows and showed eight teeth in a cheerful grin and a thumbs up, "I am called the Judge of the Reverse God after all, and my favourite thing to do is to work against the evil gods."

"As long as the evil gods are upset enough, I'm cool with it."

Liu Jiayi stares in awe at the smiling face of the Reverse God.

For a moment just now, I did detect a very different and intimidating aura from this Reverse God, who had always seemed so gentle.

The Reverse God looked back, his hand resting emptily on his back as if to draw some weapon, and the smile in his voice took on a rare note of seriousness: "--and Bai Liu, the tactician, was able to fight the evil gods' desire to flourish in him for so long during the succession ceremony, without losing his heart and being completely consumed --"

"- I admire him."

[System Alert: Does Player Inquisitor of the Reverse God equip the Monster Book: Inquisitor of the Reverse God identity?]

[Yes.]

The lake.

Bai Liu waved his hand to the left and the body parts that blocked his view scattered, revealing the bottom of the lake.

The bottom of the lake, which had been flowing with sticky mud and sand, was now smashed out in a large, sunken crater, in which there was nothing.

Bai Liu's eyes rested for a long moment on the furthest recesses of the pit.

He has editorial rights to the entire world line of The Dense Frontier, where he does not feel Spades' presence.

Spades has quit the game.

Bai Liu's vision seemed to be fixed in the pit, his eyes half-lidded, the rising blackness of the whip he held resting just where there was still a line, no longer moving.

Was it because ...... just found him so disgustingly out of control with all that emotion and desire that he had lost the right to be taken seriously as a rival that Spades left?

Bai Liu's long hair swayed in the water, hiding all the expression on his face, and the whip hung casually down to the bottom of the lake.

Again, ...... like this.

This is the person who clearly said that he would always want to play horror games with him, and this is the person who clearly said that he would be reunited with him in the horror games.

But the first to leave, the first to destroy, the first to quit is also this man.
