Du Sanying's face was full of confusion: "????"

When we got home, Du Sanying took the parrot out and hung it by the window while Bai Liu watched.

Seeing that Du Sanying hadn't run away, the parrot looked around, then slowly stared with wide green eyes at Bai Liu, who was smiling from outside the cage.

It seems to have finally realised that it is in Bai Liu's territory, and after standing still for a minute, it quickly buries its head under its wings and cowered motionlessly in the corner of its cage.

Du Sanying explained a little awkwardly, "San San isn't usually like this."

Bai Liu was kind enough to understand: "It's true that animals have a hard time accepting changes of residence, but do you usually use this parrot to remember things because it can teleport people, or is there something special about it?"

Du Sanying nodded excitedly, "Yes! Mr. Bai Liu, you should know that many things in the game cannot be written down in reality, they will be tampered with or erased, but Sansan can write down those erased things!"

"It's very useful!"

Bai Liu looked at the parrot: "So how can you make it remember all this?"

"It's very simple." Du Sanying says, "Just keep repeating it to it until it agrees with you."

"But Sansan can't remember very complicated things." Du Sanying scratched his head apologetically, "He can only remember simple things, so I usually only let him remember the most important ones."

Bai Liu nodded in understanding.

Du Sanying dutifully gathered his things and greeted Bai Liu with his basin and clothes: "Mr. Bai Liu, I'm going to take a shower, can I use your bathroom?"

Bai Liu gave a nod.

After Du Sanying had entered the bathroom, Bai Liu got up and walked unhurriedly to the window sill.

The parrot in the cage, although with its head buried under its wings, shivers slightly at Bai Liu's proximity.

Bai Liu half-closes his eyes, extends his index finger and strokes the parrot's fur with a flexed finger.

The parrot trembled even more.

"What do you remember?" Bai Liu asked in a very soft voice, "Tell me nicely and I won't do anything to you."

" Bai Liu, the bad guy!" The parrot hissed, shrinking inwards as if resisting.

Bai Liu sighed as if in regret, "It seems you don't want to cooperate, so how about we do it another way, I'll tell you something you have to remember and you remember it for me?"

"In return, I will ensure your survival and that of Du Sanying."

The parrot hesitated for a moment, then slowly poked its head out from under its wings and looked at Bai Liu with wary green-bean eyes, as if asking him for help in remembering something.

Bai Liu turns and sits on the window string, the unprotected skyscraper behind him, the night breeze blowing gently through Bai Liu's half-length hair, which is not very neatly cut, swaying softly.

"August 17, Spades broke my whip and cross."

The parrot hesitated for a long time, repeating after Bai Liu, who cocked his head in confusion, "Just to remember, this?"

"For now, just remember this." Bai Liu said very softly, "I'll let you remember that later too if he breaks anything else of mine."

The parrot speaks with heartfelt confusion, "This, does it matter?"

"It's important to me." Bai Liu smiled at it, "This man owes me something that I don't want to be erased or forgotten again."

Du Sanying came out fully dressed after his bath and looked at Bai Liu with unease: " Mr. Bai Liu, where do I sleep?"

"I have two single beds in my room, I went to buy them this afternoon." Bai Liu said, "You pick a spot you like to sleep in."

Du Sanying chose the single bed on the inside and Bai Liu slept by the window.

The two beds are separated by a bedside table, kind of a cold, commercial-style layout like a hotel, but ......

Du Sanying rolls over carefully, not making any noise, and looks lost in thought at Bai Liu sleeping on the other side of him.

...... He has forgotten how long it has been since he has shared a room with someone like this.

He has spent almost seven hours with Mr Bai Liu since he left the sanatorium and really, as Mr Bai Liu said, nothing bad has happened ......

"Can't sleep?" Bai Liu didn't open his eyes and suddenly spoke out.

Du Sanying sat up from the bed in shock: "Did I wake you up by rolling over! I'm sorry!"

"Not that you woke me up." Bai Liu opened his eyes, "It's also the first time I've lived with someone and I'm slightly uncomfortable."

Du Sanying sits cross-legged on the bed and asks in surprise, " Has Mr Bai Liu always lived alone?"

"Yeah." Bai Liu replied, "Only ever slept with someone when I was very young, and then I've always lived on my own."

Du Sanying was surprised: "When Mr. Bai Liu was a child, did he still sleep in the same bed with someone? Where is that person now?"

"Dead." Bai Liu said faintly, "Suicide, doused with gasoline and set himself on fire."

Du Sanying paused.

He vaguely seemed to be able to remember the incident, but couldn't remember exactly, except that a kind of sadness at having witnessed the scene made him unable to help but open his mouth to apologize, "I'm sorry ...... I seem to have a case of amnesia of the week again, I can't remember."

"It doesn't matter." Bai Liu's tone was unemotional, "Not many people need to remember things like that either."

Du Sanying was silent for a long, long time and changed the subject almost handily, "That, that Mr. Bai Liu's team's game league is about to start, right!"

"Well, we're going to start training for the tournament soon and we're going to ramp it up a bit." Bai Liu replied, "Because the league is about to start."

"I think Mr. Bai Liu will be the league champion." Du Sanying gave Bai Liu a serious cheer and then lay back down as he looked at the side of Bai Liu's face, " What does Mr Bai Liu want to do after he wins the tournament?"

This time it was Bai Liu's turn to be silent, until Du Sanying yawned, thinking Bai Liu had fallen asleep, when Bai Liu suddenly spoke again.

"With that man, lying asleep on a lot of money."

Du Sanying was stunned, then couldn't hold back his laughter.

Bai Liu looks sideways at Du Sanying: "Is that funny?"

Du Sanying scratched his head, still with a smile on his face, "It seems normal for other people to make this wish, but Mr Bai Liu is so serious about saying this kind of wish ......"

He said honestly, "I think it's funny."

"But a wish that makes people laugh." Du Sanying says seriously, " Mr Bai Liu will be so happy when it comes true."

Bai Liu shifted his gaze back and a very light smile appeared on his face as well, "Maybe."

Killer Sequence Guild, Weapon Transformation Room.

Hua Gan will whack crack after crack on the Reverse God's heavy sword as Spades sits next to him on a high bench, staring without a word.

"Don't look at me so strangely." General Wagan didn't look up, "I am indeed a weapon modifier for the Deer Hunters and should not be serving your assassin sequence."

General Hua Gan let out a long sigh, "But who called your Tactician Reverse God the most powerful soul of the Deer Hunters at one time, the highest ranking Tactician in the guild, the Judge of Reverse God."

"The Reverse God has really saved a lot of people, including me."

"I owe so many favours to the Reverse God, but I didn't follow him when he left from the Deer Hunter, that's already ungrateful enough." General Hua Gan sighed with a complicated look, "Now that he has arrived at his new guild and asked me to help with a little weapon modification, I just couldn't refuse."

Hua Ganjun shook his head, "What is it all about this year, I'm a privatized weapon modifier, actually ate three guilds' weapon modifications and took on two outsourcing."

It was only at this point that Spades spoke up to answer the question, "No?"

He looked up at General Hua Gan, "Our guild's warehouse protection is also outsourced, Golden Dawn took it over."

General Hua Gan froze for a moment, then then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out of his eyes, "The Reverse God outsourced weapon modifications to me and prop protection to Golden Dawn, true to form."

"The Reverse God caught the best weapon modifier and prop protection in the game and gave it to HuoHuo." Hua Ganzhong sighed, "Your killer sequence a brand new guild, obviously can not build up, but actually relied on the reverse god's network to solve the two most difficult problems of the new guild, to hold up."

"You really did get your money's worth, Spades." Hua Ganjun tsked sourly, "The God of Reverse was so determined when he left, our guild leader was so cold and hard, he really softened his tone and begged him in the end, saying that as long as the God of Reverse was willing to stay, anything would do, but in the end, he didn't stay."

General Wagan glanced at Spades, "I've always wondered, what exactly did you offer the Reverse God that made him want to leave the Deer Hunter?"

"You said the opposite." Spades said calmly, "It was the Reverse God himself who wanted to leave the Deer Hunter, I just gave him a suitable excuse."

General Hua Gan was stunned and subconsciously retorted, "How could the Reverse God want to leave the Deer Hunter on his own?!"

"The Reverse God has been the heart of the Deer Hunters for a long time, he has a good relationship with everyone and is still very close friends with our president in reality, having fought side by side for years."

General Hua Gan recalled, "The president put the decisions of the Reverse God first in every matter, and was even seriously injured several times on the field to protect the Reverse God, who did not fail the president and developed tactics to protect everyone."

"Everyone genuinely likes and aspires to the Reverse God, and the Reverse God is genuinely in love with everyone in the guild; he is the soul of the whole guild."

"So this year when the Reverse God transferred ......" Hua Ganzhong looked down at the heavy sword that the Reverse God sent over to repair in his hand and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "I just an ironworker can't accept it, let alone others. "

Wagan placed the pounding, red-hot heavy sword in the oven, then hooked a bench with his foot and sat down on his butt next to Spades.

He casually wiped the oil from his hands twice on his apron, looked at the heavy sword of the cross slowly melting in the lava of the furnace and muttered, "...... How cruel, this heavy sword in the hands of the Reverse God was once protecting us, and now it's being turned against us."

"And yet I'm still helping him mend."

With a self-deprecating snort, General Waagan drew a packet of cigarettes from his top pocket, flicked one out and lit it on the lava, holding it immodestly in the corner of his mouth, his lips gulping smoke in handfuls.

"Want one?" General Wagan casually handed Spades his cigarette case.

Spades declined.

General Hua Gan narrowed his eyes in the smoke, "The Reverse Gods won't let you smoke, will they?"

"He was like that at the Deer Hunter, too, with his explicitly hypocritical and strict ban on smoking, and the funniest thing was our president, who was the biggest smoker, but he was banned by the Reverse God too."

"The president will absolutely carry out obedience to any order set by the Reverse God, he is the main attacker of the Reverse God well, develop a habit, so the president has not smoked once after the Reverse God has given a ban on smoking, he is no more difficult."

"Instead, it is the Reverse God himself who is so masculine and submissive that he hides in my little workshop and sneaks one in whenever he is addicted to smoking."

Hua Ganzhong laughed, "I didn't smoke either, but he led me to start smoking too."

After saying that, Hua Ganzhong was quiet for a while and suddenly spoke, "I never could figure out why he had to leave."

"The Deer Hunter ...... is a guild that was started by the Reverse God."

"It was the gods of reversal who pulled us desperate to the point of death from some horn of Gera back together to form a group that seemed to be able to warm each other up and live on."

General Hua Gan bowed his head, "The Reverse God always smiles and tells us, as if in a joking tone, that I can see your future, that you have a good future, so stay up a little longer."

"So we just stayed up for the future he was talking about."

"I met the Reverse God in reality." Hua Ganzhong recalled as he held up his cigarette, "I was a poor rogue in reality who no one noticed if I was dead or not, and although I had a small stall for making iron, I couldn't support myself."

"Then it became even more impossible to feed." General Hua Gan said to himself, "I picked up a hairy boy as a disciple, a half-grown boy who ate poor old me, and sometimes did something to steal chickens and dogs when he was desperate for a bite to eat."

"But once people get bad, things get worse." General Hua Gan exhaled a puff of smoke, "I would have been able to get a certain allowance for my two that year, but I didn't know it at that time, I had already done bad things and had a record, so I didn't get it."

"Then things got worse and worse, and the more money you lacked the more bad things you would do, and the more bad things you did, the more you were rewarded."

Hua Ganjun slowly lowered his head, "But when I started robbing, all I wanted was a full meal and to send the boy to a vocational high school to get him on the right track."

"I didn't think that when I was caught, this rash guy would suddenly come forward and say he did it with me, and we both ended up in there."

"I always thought there was something wrong with this kid's brain to be a hawker on the street, but I never thought there really was."

Hua Ganzhong suddenly laughed, "When I thought there was no way out, I met the Reverse God by chance, he took the initiative to invite me to a meal, it wasn't very expensive, but it was a great meal, two beers were opened and both my disciple and the Reverse God were passed out by me."

"The Reverse God drunkenly told me that everything would be fine, that he could see the future."

"I thought for a moment, too, that everything was going to be okay." General Wagan pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, "But it wasn't."

"The alley where I run my stall logged on to a horror game and my protégé's torn body had been cold for half an hour when the Heresy Authority came over."

Hua Ganjun was quiet for a long, long time: "I still logged into this game and then met the game's Reverse God, who helped me several times so that I could survive in this game and later entered the Deer Hunter Guild with his help, and now I can play iron here in peace."

"I took my own points and exchanged them for a body." Hua Ganzhong exhaled a puff of smoke, "Pinched this body into the form of my apprentice, used the points to prod him into moving, pretended he wasn't dead, and was as foolish as ever to help me beat iron."

"But this body can only exist in this hall, so I spend more time here than I do in reality."

Spades looked at him: "Don't you want to come back to reality?"

General Hua laughed: "What would I do back there? I don't even have a nest in reality, but here at least I have my apprentice, an ironworking workshop and a group of players who treat me well, I'm getting by."

"Sometimes, I guess, I also feel like this is not a good thing, and have moved to resurrect my apprentice." Hua Ganzhong smashed the cigarette in his mouth, "On the one hand, I don't have enough points, and on the other hand, I think, what is the point of resurrecting him?"

"It's so hard to live, the best thing this boy has ever eaten on a trip to earth is probably the meal the Reverse God invited him to."

Hua Ganzhong exhaled a puff of smoke: "When we ate that meal, my disciple said he had never eaten shrimp, and I was afraid that the ingrate, the Reverse God, would not invite him because he thought it was expensive, and I even scolded him for being greedy."

"But in the end the Reverse God smiled and ordered him a plate of prawns, peeled them for him and left him alone to finish the hokey-pokey."

Hua put out his cigarette, took a deep breath and his eyes were red: "I especially miss Buming White, such a kind and gentle person, but he was so cruel when he left, he didn't even say hello to us and left."

"The president went to the Reverse God after he knew he had left and begged him to come back."

General Hua Gan looked at the already completely melted heavy sword in the furnace and was lost in thought, "Our president, such an arrogant person, bowed his head at the entrance of your Slayer Sequence's guild hall and was about to kneel down, only for the Reverse God to hold the president up and say that he had signed up for the league as a member of the Slayer Sequence."

"He's not coming back."

"Our president locked himself in his room for a long time and became quite gloomy when he came out, the president was originally the main attacker of the Reverse God and now he has taken over the position of tactician, which has changed the whole style of the team drastically as well."

"Recently, the president also brought back a newbie clown with bloody tactics to fill the gap after the Reverse God left."

"The Reverse God is not a fan of seeing casualties on the field, but this newcomer is going to see blood and kill people when he strikes."

Hua Ganzhong said in a trance, "...... I feel like the president is simply taking revenge on the Reverse God for going away."

Spades honest review: "Your president is so childish."

General Hua Gan instantly exploded, "You have no right to say such things, you childish vested interest!"
