Chapter 330: Preseason

Bai Liu crosses over the bodies strewn across the stairs, carrying a bloodstained baseball bat in one hand and taking Du Sanying by the wrist in the other.

Du Sanying trembled: "Mr Bai Liu, where else are we going?"

"I don't know." Bai Liu stepped out of the narrow entrance to the building for a moment, the bleak moonlight falling on his unruffled face, "Anyway, someone doesn't want us to stay here."

A circle of motorbikes swirled around the entrance of the building, all driven by tall and fierce men, who looked like they were up to no good, and several of them hissed as they swung around and came at Bai Liu, who was coming out of the staircase.

Bai Liu flipped his wrist and held Du Sanying in front of him: "Close your eyes."

Du Sanying Tense and closed eyes.

The pounding motorbike dripped over a puddle of dirty vegetable oil on the floor and incredibly brushed against Du Sanying from both left and right, crashing into the wall behind Bai Liu with a loud, explosive thud.

The man on the motorbike, grey and dazed, exhaled a puff of black smoke and fell to the ground motionless.

Bai Liu didn't even give Du Sanying an extra glance and tapped him on the shoulder: "Open your eyes."

Bai Liu gets on Mu Sicheng's heavy-duty motorbike across the legs and Du Sanying rushes to sit on the back seat.

Without knowing what was going to happen, Du Sanying was already in tears at the situation, holding Bai Liu's waist: "Bai, Mr. Bai Liu, what the hell are they going to do! What are we going to do again?"

Bai Liu inserted the key of Mu Sicheng's motorbike, turned it a few times and it made a loud roaring sound.

"They are coming to round us up." Bai Liu said.

Du Sanying whimpered, "What about us?"

Bai Liu smiled very lightly, "And we're here to round them up, of course."

The next second, Bai Liu pushed the throttle of his motorbike to the floor and the bike shot off with the force of an arrow.

Caught off guard, Du Sanying's mouth opened wide in an unbelievable scream, so loud you could see the hanging of the throat.

With the motorbike moving at high speed, Du Sanying's mouth was filled with wind that made his lips tremble into waves, and his voice trembled as he spoke: "Bai... liu... xian... -You... are... not... not... --You don't - don't - don't - don't - drive!"

Bai Liu looks straight ahead, "Put the baffle down next to your mouth and don't eat the wind."

Du Sanying: "Oh-"

He dutifully lowered the fender and spoke smoothly for a moment, but still couldn't hide his horror: " Mr Bai Liu, I thought you didn't know how to drive a motorbike!"

"Hmm." Bai Liu replied calmly, "But I've driven a Hello tram, so it should feel similar."

Du Sanying choked back tears: "It's not the same! One is a shared e-bike and the other is a heavy-duty motorbike, much different Mr. Bai Liu!"

"If it's to deal with these people, Mr. Bai Liu can borrow Captain Tang's car! Why did you borrow God Mu's heavy-duty motorbike!"

Bai Liu spoke with a smile, "Don't you think heavy duty motorbikes are cool?"

Du Sanying cries out, "But it's not safe! A car with an outsource is safer for Mr Bai Liu!"

He wouldn't have had an easy time of it himself, but Mr Bai Liu is a lucky 0! Who knows what could happen in a dangerous vehicle like a heavy-duty motorbike!

Bai Liu paused, "I don't know how to drive."

Du Sanying was shocked: " Hasn't Mr Bai Liu ever had a driving licence?

Bai Liu has a natural attitude: "Tuition is too expensive, I ride a shared electric bike to and from my car every day, and I can't use it if I waste money learning to drive."

"I can't afford to buy a car."

Du Sanying is speechless - for such a reason!

Bai Liu rode ahead on Mu Sicheng's heavy-duty motorbike, circling various roads in the middle of nowhere, with the group behind him in their motorbike in hot pursuit, almost hitting Bai Liu's car several times.

Du Sanying looked back from time to time to see what was happening to the men in pursuit behind him, and he watched with horror.

These people are crazy! Total disregard for pedestrians!

Bai Liu had clearly been taking a deliberate detour to take a less crowded area, but the group wouldn't have cared about turning or anything like that, and some people would have gone straight through, and if Bai Liu hadn't reacted quickly on a few occasions and gone around the path where the junction was occupied, these people would have run over a few people by now!

No wonder Bai Liu has to leave the place where he lives and doesn't drive, the place is quite populated and this group of speedsters who don't take human life seriously could easily hurt other people by accident, driving would mean going up the avenue and the population would be even more populated.

But now what about ......?

Keep leaving these speedsters out there and sooner or later something will happen, but it's impossible to keep Bai Liu hanging around them!

Du Sanying was desperate: " Mr Bai Liu, can you get into the game?"

Bai Liu's eyes stared ahead through his helmet, "Solve it before you go in, don't leave things to chance or they'll still come blocking next time you're out."

Du Sanying was stunned and slowly came back to his senses: "How do you fix them?"

"There's a driving range at the edge of town, no one's there right now." Bai Liu spoke in a calm tone, "Let's go there."

Edge of town, driving range.

Mu Sicheng is crouched on the ground, bored, next to Tang Erda, who walks around with her eyebrows knitted up and her face serious.

Mu Sicheng is dazzled by Tang Erda's walk: "Can you be quiet for a minute?"

Tang Erda paused: "Where do you think Bai Liu and the others have gone?"

Mu Sicheng gestures speechlessly with two fingers, "You've asked this question almost twenty times, don't worry, nothing will happen to you Bai Liu."

"He's not a normal person, but he's still reliable, otherwise I wouldn't have lent him my motorbike."

Tang Erda finally took a seat next to Mu Sicheng, who looked at the densely packed nails Bai Liu had them place on the floor and stared, "Do these nails, do they really work?"

Mu Sicheng rolled his eyes, "I'll give you my word, it'll work, motorbike tyres at high speed are very fragile, one little nail stuck in and deflated and the front end will swing and the people on the bike will be thrown off the road."

"But what was more surprising to me-" Mu Sicheng cocked his face and snorted, with an inexplicable grin on his face, " was that Bai Liu was actually willing, in order to mitigate the casualties he might have caused, to end up picking such a distant practice area and using such a roundabout solution"

"Bai Liu could have used Du Sanying to take care of the yakuza on his own doorstep, but then the residents around Bai Liu would most likely have been killed or injured."

Tang Erda's brow furrowed: "It's only right to protect others ......"

Mu Sicheng gave Tang Erda a sidelong glance, "But there's nothing wrong with not protecting them, it's not like Bai Liu took the initiative to kill them."

Tang Erda said in a cold voice, "You didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of you, don't you have a guilty conscience?"

Mu Sicheng is quiet for a moment, he averts his eyes and his tone is low and calm: "I may have a guilty conscience, but Bai Liu certainly does not."

"He chose to do this simply so that those of us who ask questions can do so with a clear conscience."

Mu Sicheng snorted, "Tacticians, we have to make do with the players."

Tang Erda is also silent.

Mu Sicheng is right, Bai Liu wouldn't have to go around in such a big circle to deal with a bunch of hooligans if it wasn't for the sake of accommodating them.

In the distance, a mass of roaring motorbikes appeared on the horizon, the man at the head of the pack wearing a white shirt and suit trousers out of place on a heavy motorbike, his shirt and trouser legs swaying and flapping in the icy night air as he calmly lowered his body and flew closer to the side.

Mu Sicheng stood up sharply and said, "Shit! Bai Liu is driving at top speed! Is he crazy!"

"No." Tang Erda denied, " Bai Liu wouldn't do anything impulsive, something must have happened?"

Mu Sicheng narrowed his eyes, then his pupils narrowed, "There's someone tied to the car in the back!"

Lu Yizhan was tied hand and foot and pinned to the back of one of the motorbikes, unconscious, and a young woman with a red bow tied around her head and her hair loose, also tied sleepily to the back of another motorbike.

And the rider in the two motorbikes laughed arrogantly and whistled, " Bai Liu, how about that, didn't expect that, we not only caught you and this high school student, but also the other guy and his girlfriend, the car split up to catch them."

"So we tied up together and just rendezvoused, how about you dutifully eating the food this woman cooked for you in the pictures [the paparazzi] took, sitting happily with this cop, like a family, you must have a good relationship with both of them?"

"How about you just give up and let us drive over you and we'll let them go?"

"If you don't compromise, that only means that these two people are not on good terms with you."

The man shrugged his shoulders as if in pity and said aloud, "Then they're useless, we'll just have to throw them off the motorbike and let them fall to pieces on the ground."

Du Sanying really cried out: " Bai Liu, what should we do? Who have they kidnapped? What's your relationship with them?"

"Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian." Bai Liu's face appeared aggressive for the first time and his tone was extremely cold, "They both helped me pay for part of my living expenses during my high school years."

"It's a good relationship with me."

There was no trace of emotion left in Bai Liu's pure black eyes, but he still didn't slow down, instead he charged forward at full speed.

Du Sanying panicked, " Bai Liu, the road ahead is nailed, drive straight through and we'll be fine, Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian will be thrown right out of the car!"

Bai Liu, calm-eyed, drove straight into the nail road, and then on the doorstep actually rolled over in the car in a desperate attempt to get Du Sanying into the driving seat, with his back to Du Sanying in the back seat.

Du Sanying, at his wits' end, hit the high notes: " Bai Liu! I don't know how to drive!!!"

The cars behind them were an instant mess, and a few spins later moments later, these cars with their heads swinging wildly couldn't keep running at all, thumping and spinning wildly into each other, the men in them smashing hard into the ground, nails sticking into flesh with howl after howl of misery.

Du Sanying screamed in tears as he thrashed the front of his car, instead miraculously avoiding every nail in the ground and every motorbike that was about to hit him head-on.

Bai Liu, his shirt bulging in the wind, stared coldly into the back seat where Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian's two cars lay, and as they spun out of control and crashed into the ground, Bai Liu drew a white bone whip with a condensed gaze, slicing a crack-like distortion in the ground.

Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian, who were about to hit the ground, were cushioned by this distortion of space and caught in the arms of Bai Liu, who darted past them on one knee.

These two vehicles collided with other cars swinging about, exploding in a huge burst of flames.

The people who fell on the ground shuddered and howled, with nails stuck into their bodies and faces, and some had their eyes stabbed right out, and there were parts and wreckage of motorbikes smashed up everywhere.

Tang Erda and Mu Sicheng ran in front of Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng exclaimed, "What has happened?!"

Bai Liu, head bowed, slowly lifted to look at Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda for a moment.

Both Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda's blood ran cold at the sight.

Bai Liu shoved the two men in his arms to Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his face, and said to the two men, "Watch Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian for me, don't let them wake up."

Bai Liu turned to Tang Erda: "You've got a gun, right? Give me the gun."

Tang Erda was struck by the look in Bai Liu's eyes, but subconsciously refused: "I don't ......"

Bai Liu looked straight at him, "I don't do things that are illegal."

Tang Erda remained still for a moment before finally pulling out her gun and giving it to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu took the gun and then got up and walked away from the still burning pile of motorbikes.

"What?!" Mu Sicheng picked up the man in confusion and turned his head to look at Bai Liu who was walking towards the centre of the explosion, "What are you doing Bai Liu!"

Bai Liu didn't say anything, and all that could be seen was his conspicuous white shirt swaying in the night breeze.

He walks up to the motorbike and pulls two men out of it, the same two men who had kidnapped Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian, towed them to the scene and threatened Bai Liu with a cocky laugh.

The two men were not badly injured when they crashed because they were padded by the space Bai Liu had cut out with his whip, but they already had a number of burns and nail holes in their faces.

They looked viciously and fearfully at Bai Liu, who had pulled them out, and took two steps back when they noticed the gun in Bai Liu's hand, screaming in terror, "It's against the law for you to kill us! You're breaking the law and you'll be hunted all the time in reality!"

"Your best friend is a cop, isn't he! He wouldn't allow you to do something like that!"

Bai Liu's gaze was calm, "I could do what you guys do, kill and then erase everything with props, and no one would remember?"

The two men were horrified: "You, won't you ask for a guilty conscience!"

Most of the players they can hurt are still law-abiding in reality.

Frenzied Lamb does a general survey before harming these players, some of whom unleash all sorts of desires and kill all sorts of unpredictable things in the game, but in reality are very bound to themselves and care about a little bit of reality and never do anything illegal or criminal.

This kind of player separates reality from the game and cares about everything in reality, killing in reality and killing in the game are two different things in their perception.

Killing people in a twisted game world and killing ordinary people in reality are not so different in essence, but the difference in feeling is particularly large.

This is the part of the game where players cannot accept that they are committing crimes in reality, because these players are going so far in the game, but only to return to reality and be normal, happy, ordinary people.

The cost of psychological crime for such players is high and rarely backfires on those who are rabid lambs, most will put up with it.

They believe that Bai Liu is a typical player of this kind, who is a great player in the game, but in reality, he has not even a single record of violation, or he was fired from the company.

Kong Xuyang snickered and said, "Bai Liu is the typical soft-legged prawn, a heavy hitter in the game, but coy in reality, let them go for it and run over his face with a motorbike.

It's hard to commit a crime when you haven't killed someone in reality.

Bai Liu, however, seems to be a special case.

Bai Liu calmly raised his gun at the two men, who cried out and subconsciously tried to log in, only to find that Bai Liu had already taken away their log-in device.

"Don't kill us!" The two men crouched on their asses and howled, "You've never killed anyone in reality, you'll suffer!"

Bai Liu looked down at the two men, and Lu Yizhan's fingers twitched slightly as he was guarded by Mu Sicheng.

"Who said I was going to kill you." Bai Liu tossed the gun to the two men very casually, "The gun is for you."

"Come and kill me." Bai Liu said with a small smile.

These two men then proceeded to the gun, completely frozen.

Crazy people! This man is crazy!

After realising that Bai Liu was playing for real, the two men again fought over the only gun available.

Eventually one of the men grabbed it and after panting raised his gun to Bai Liu, his hands were a little shaky from the injury, holding the powerful gun gave him tremendous strength, the man laughed nervously, " Bai Liu, you are afraid to kill, do you think we are afraid to kill too!"

"I'm telling you, I crushed a woman's belly on my motorbike earlier and I could see her intestines coming out."

The man hemmed and hawed twice, "The woman didn't seem to die in the end, but I got a kick out of it, she was screaming in pain, and I kill with a clear conscience, I'm a natural born killer."

The smile on Bai Liu's face hadn't changed at all: "Really?"

The man, seemingly offended by Bai Liu's cheeky smile, hissed and pulled the trigger, "FUCK YOU!!!"

But no bullets were fired.

The man froze in his tracks.

Bai Liu backhanded the man with a baseball bat and smacked him hard on the side of the head.

He calmly beat the man, especially in the stomach, until the man began to vomit bile and his intestines leaked out of his anus, praying in agony for death.

The man next to him had looked completely dumbfounded, and after Bai Liu swept him away in between beatings, the man took two steps straight back in fear and ended up actually hitting himself against the wall, screaming, "I hit myself! I'll beat myself up! I don't need you to do it!"

As Bai Liu was about to beat the man to death, a hand reached out from the side, "That's enough, Bai Liu."

A woman about Bai Liu's height looked at him with a smile and handed him a wad of wet tissues.

Bai Liu's face was splattered with blood from his jaw to the corner of his eye, and he looked down at the wad of wipes before finally dropping the baseball bat splattered with Buming's liquid and taking the wipes the woman handed him.

The woman glanced at the man Bai Liu had beaten to death and knelt down to look curiously close to his bloodied face: "Bai Liu, Mr. Lu has taught you well, you are now able to take advantage of the law."

"By giving the gun first and letting the other person attack you, you are being forced to fight back when your life is significantly threatened, in self-defence, and it is legal to kill the other person."

Bai Liu Liu's hand wiping his face paused as he averted his gaze and mewled vaguely, "Sister Dot, why are you awake?"

Fang Dian looked at Bai Liu with a smile: "Don't worry, Lu Yizhan is not awake."

"When he wakes up later I will tell him that two bad men attacked you with guns and you were forced to fight back in desperation, but because of your good heart and the way you have been taught to behave by him over the years, you still stayed back and did not kill the men."

Fang Dian kicked the two men who were limp on the ground and said hesitantly, "I don't suppose they're dead?"

"It's an old high school rule, you do the bad stuff and we'll make a good confession." Fang Dian gave a thumbs up and a wide, eight-toothed smile on her dirty face, "Won't let Mr. Lu, the big cop, find out about us both."
