Chapter 316: Game Pool

"I won't ask any more questions, there's no way to get anything out of you that you don't want to say." Liao Ke stopped talking as he pulled out a roll of bandages, "Can I treat your wound now?"

"Yes, yes, of course!" The Reverse God joked with another grin, " It would be an honour for me if Brother Liao would take care of me."

"Don't be poor, turn around and take off your clothes." Liao Ke said.

The Reverse God grimaced as he stripped off his clothes, revealing a naked, lean upper body, crisscrossed with whip marks from the back of his shoulders to his chest, the wounds skinned and open, blood still seeping out.

"I see that you and Spades both have a bit of a pain nerve abnormality." Liao Ke sighed in a rare moment, "You two are so badly injured, you can't even tell from the surface."

Liao Ke wrapped the bandage around the god's back, one roll at a time, eventually covering almost the entire back.

Spades is no better than the Reverse God, almost mummified.

After finishing, Liao Ke carried his medical kit and was about to leave. After pushing open the door, Liao Ke paused, turned his head to look at the Reverse God who was sitting on the floor, guarding Spades, and called out with a long, complicated sigh.

"Against the gods."

The Reverse God turned his head smilingly, "What's wrong?"

Liao Ke looked at him: "If you had just died, my sister-in-law would have remarried."

"Hey!!!" The Reverse God's face cracked, as he watched Liao Ke push the door open and leave, "It's hard for me to get married, don't just make jokes like that!"

Liao Ke closed the door with a wave of his hand, and a laughing voice came from behind it: "Try to stay alive if you don't want your wife to remarry, Captain."

Leaning against the wall, the Reverse God suddenly smiled as he staggered up against the wall, grabbed the cigarette case on the table and threw open the balcony of the conference room with his jacket on.

The Reverse God leaned against the balcony fence and held a cigarette in his mouth, unlit.

His eyes looked away, at everything in the game, and there was a very light breeze blowing through his hair and the jacket hanging over his shoulder.

There is no natural wind in the system halls, but the movement of people sometimes causes the air to move, giving the illusion of wind.

The Reverse God was quiet for a moment, eventually pulling a lighter out of his pocket, covering the cigarette and lighting it.

The wavering light of the lighter reflected the ordinary brow of the Reverse God in a serene and gentle way, the point of the cigarette flickered as it was inhaled, and the Reverse God exhaled a puff of smoke, the rising lingering white smoke quickly obscuring the serenity and gentleness, leaving only a hazy and intense sense of sinking.

The door to the balcony behind the Reverse God was thrown open at some point and Spades, wrapped up like a mummy, staggered over to lean next to the Reverse God.

The Reverse God subconsciously tried to put out his cigarette.

Spades interrupted the Reverse God's movements by speaking up and looking sideways at him, "Smoke, what's that smell?"

"Why are you suddenly curious about this?" The Reverse God found it amusing, "Weren't you never interested before?"

This, of course, has something to do with the fact that the Reverse God hardly ever smokes in front of Spades.

"It's something from [reality]." Spades stared at the cigarette held between the Reverse God's index and middle fingers, which was burning, and probed, " Would Bai Liu like this stuff?"

The Reverse God suddenly laughed and slapped Spades on the back of the head, "You've been taught so many good things not to learn before ...... don't learn to smoke, Bai Liu doesn't like cigarettes."

After saying that, the Reverse God put out his cigarette, holding the extinguished cigarette in his bored mouth, he gave Spades a sidelong glance and teased, "I didn't think you'd fall in love with Bai Liu at first sight."

Spades takes a moment of silence and asks, "What is love at first sight?"

"It was the first time I saw this person that I thought I would spend my life with her." The Reverse God had a reminiscent, very light smile on his face, "In fact, whether or not I end up spending my life with her, the moment I saw her looking at you in the crowd and smiling at you was quite a happy moment."

"Can't I fall in love at first sight with Bai Liu?" Spades looked to the Reverse God.

The Reverse God laughed a little, "It's not that it's not possible, it's just kinda weird."

The Reverse God lazily held his cigarette: "Because in my perception, people like Bai Liu will not easily go near anyone of their own accord until they die."

"Maybe it's because you, Bai Liu, can make him feel happy that he's taking the initiative."

Spades looks against the gods and asks, " What is the happiness that Bai Liu feels?"

The Reverse God was quiet for a moment and said, "Happy ......"

"To explain it in a way Spades you can understand -" the Reverse God turned his head with a smile as he held his extinguished cigarette in his mouth - "it's the Bai Liu hug that you feel when Bai Liu hugs you, apart from the sadness Liu's other emotion."

"Just happiness."

"How does it feel to be a counsellor?" Reverse God asked Spades, changing the subject.

Spades paused for a moment, "Nothing feels right."

When he heard this, the Reverse God laughed so hard that he choked and coughed a few times, almost losing the cigarette he was holding in the corner of his mouth:" Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu both shut themselves up for a long time after they were done."

"It's actually embarrassing to spread out the voice of your heart and say it to someone else."

"But it's still important to hear it to know what the problem is ......"

Spades looked at the Reverse God: "Have you had any counselling?"

As soon as the gods were still, he subconsciously slipped his hand into his pocket and felt for a lighter, as if he wanted to light a cigarette, but finally suppressed it and did not.

"Did." The Reverse God replied to Spades with a smile tinged with a sigh, "but unfortunately it wasn't done."

Spades asks, "Why didn't you finish?"

The Reverse God smiled, "Because I have so many things on my mind that I can't tell you how much."

Spades squints at the Reverse God, "Why don't you do it more often?"

The Reverse God leans lazily on the balcony fence: "The purpose of counselling is to let you know what your problem is and that's it. I knew what my own problem was, so I didn't continue to seek counselling from Liao Ke afterwards."

"And counselling isn't a panacea, a lot of times even if you know that's your psychological problem, when it comes to that moment, what hurts still has to hurt."

Noticing the bandages on the Reverse God's back, Spades paused for a moment and asked, "Why does knowing your mental problems still hurt you?"

The Reverse God chucked the extinguished cigarette from his own mouth, rolled over and leaned his back against the fence, smiling at Spades: "Because that's what people are like, Spades."

"Even though you know you're going to get hurt because of someone, there's no way not to go near them."

The Reverse God smirked, "It's like the next time you have the opportunity to play a game with Bai Liu, you wouldn't hesitate to go even if you knew he could hurt you, right?"

Spades was quick to answer, "Will go."

The Reverse God laughed a little more, "Quite persistent, though."

An almost wind-like flow from behind blew against Spades and the Reverse God, who squinted and leaned for a moment before suddenly getting up and pushing open the balcony door.

"The whip that cut you two brats broke my heavy sword, I'll go to the weaponsmith to fix it, and you remember to fix your own whip yourself."

"The league is about to start, get ready."

The Reverse God smiled back at Spades and instructed him before pushing open the door to the conference room and leaving with a wave.

Inside the Stray Circus.

Wang Shun is anxiously guarding Muke's room, next to a snivelling Mu Sicheng.

"It's been so long, Muke woke up and locked himself in this little warehouse and hasn't moved at all." Wang Shun was so anxious that he was about to break down the door, but was devastated and laughed when he saw Mu Sicheng crouching next to him, yawning in his peasant tent, "Why are you still in the mood to sleep?

Mu Sicheng was so sleepy that he sat on the floor and stretched out, "What's your hurry, as long as he's not dead, it'll be fine when Bai Liu comes back to deal with him."

Halfway through his stretch, Mu Sicheng's eyes straightened when he saw the three men approaching at the end of the corridor and he jumped up: "Bai Liu is back!"

Bai Liu walks at the head of the group without looking away, Tang Erda and Liu Jiayi walk behind him, one to the left and one to the right.

When Bai Liu really came close to Mu Sicheng, Mu Sicheng was stunned: "No, Bai Liu, why are you hurt? And your hair has grown?"

"Something happened, I'll let Jiayi explain it to you later." Bai Liu replied casually to Mu Sicheng, then looked to Wang Shun, "What happened?"

When Wang Shun's eyes were swept by Bai Liu's questioning gaze, he couldn't help but stand at attention, holding up his notepad professionally and reporting one item at a time.

" Mu Sicheng was sent to the Golden Dawn union when he went to sneak up on the killer sequence and was attacked and trapped, but escaped and is currently fine after removing the restraint prop."

Mu Sicheng interrupted Wang Shun by shouting, "What do you mean, you were attacked? I was assassinated! I was under attack!"

Bai Liu ignored Mu Sicheng's arguments and looked at Wang Shun: "What's the matter with Muke?"

"Muke met a new member of the Deer Hunter team when he took Du Sanying into the game pool." Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu with a stony face, "It seems that the other team used a special memory prop on Muke, which can transfer their own memories into Muke's head."

" Muke came back in a comatose state, but when he woke up he went in with the keys to the warehouse and a lot of paper and pens and locked himself in the guild warehouse and never came out, saying he wanted to be alone and separate himself from the memory of that clown."

Wang Shun hesitates: "The guild's warehouse is like a dark room, and then Muke's mental state is so off that he's bound to have problems staying there for a long time."

"I would have liked to break in, but again, not knowing Muke's current state, a hard break in could have caused Muke to have a stronger psychotic shock reaction if he was in a critical period of memory differentiation."

Bai Liu looked thoughtfully at the closed door of the warehouse, then he stepped forward and knocked three times without a hitch and spoke softly with an even expression, "Muke, this is Bai Liu, may I come in?"

Muke's shaky, broken voice came out of the warehouse, "No!"
