Chapter 372: Pre-season

Bai Yi is like a mother whose daughter is going out on her first date, pacing anxiously with her hands behind her back in front of the killer sequence.

"Why isn't this back yet ......"

Bai Jiamu looked dizzy and spoke impatiently, "Can you just calm down and sit down?"

"The leader of our guild is going to be a body double? Bai Yi turned around and expended his hands in a trippy storm face, "How do you expect me to calm down?!"

"Spades can't be a double, he doesn't seem to know anything, but he's still pretty proud." Bai Jiamu is certain, "Don't worry about it, I think Bai Liu will show his hand, Spades will come back from a fight with him."

Bai Yi was so speechless by the rebuttal that he decided to drag someone else into it: "Reverse God, what do you think Spades will do?"

The Reverse God was leaning against the fence of the balcony with his eyes slightly narrowed and blowing the breeze, he turned his head to the side confusedly, smiling as if he didn't understand anything: "It's up to the person concerned to decide on such matters as relationships."

Bai Yi, already aware of the Reverse God's jibber-jabber, pursued the question with sharp eyes, "I don't want to see the parties involved now, I want to hear what you, the outsider, have to say."

"My opinion? ......" the Reverse God rubbed his chin, "I don't think there's a contradiction between Bai Liu wanting something other than Spades, and him already liking Spades."

Bai Yi was quickly confused: "Huh? What do you mean?"

The Reverse God arched his eyebrows with a grin like something funny had occurred to him, "It's like when someone at eighteen says they'll never give out the ice cream they're holding and they end up giving it anyway."

"It's just that he doesn't remember it now." The Reverse God looked back, out the window with a reminiscent look, "but I think he's making the same choice this time as he did before."

"Because it was the same person who asked Bai Liu for ice cream."

Spades looks at Bai Liu and he asks seriously, "I'm a souvenir, so you can't like me?"

Bai Liu is quiet, and quickly looks away to calmly elaborate: "The affection given to a souvenir is not at all the same as the normal affection given to a person, and it will be inferior."

"I shouldn't count as a person." Spades accepted this logic as a matter of course, staring straight at Bai Liu and taking a step forward to clutch his wrist, "So you can like me now."

"In the way of like souvenirs."

Bai Liu fell silent as he tried to pull his hand out of Spades', but Spades clutched it hard, as if he would not let go until he got an answer.

Bai Liu turned his face away, his tone growing colder: "You're not exactly a very competent souvenir either."

"So what didn't I qualify for?" Spades moved closer, his head lowered to Bai Liu's ear, "You complimented me on my good figure, so where did it not fit ......"

"That's enough." Bai Liu's chest rose and fell as he interrupted Spades, "I don't want to ......"

"Is it the face?" Spades asked in hot pursuit, picking his face hard with his left hand and studying his features in slight confusion, "I'm not good looking enough?"

"No." Bai Liu said, "You're not enough like him."

Spades paused for a moment, then looked straight at Bai Liu with an expressionless face, as if he would never back down: "What doesn't look like? The mouth, the nose or the eyes?"

Bai Liu finally turned his head to look at Spades and spoke calmly, "Bones."

Spades gave a slight pause, and Bai Liu breathed an unmistakable sigh of relief.

It was quite a struggle to deal with this guy and he would have preferred Spades to back off.

"This?" Spades dawned on him and he drew upwards to mention that the whip was about to slash the skin of his face and prepare to dissect out his skull, "I can dig it out and make them change it."

Bai Liu's pupils flinched and he was quick to hold down Spades' whip, but as soon as the sharp whip was brought up to Spades' face, it almost immediately made a large, bone-deep gash on the left side of Spades' face.

Cold blood dripped down Spades' jaw and hit the back of Bai Liu's hand.

Bai Liu's eyelids fluttered and his tone froze with cold: "What are you doing?"

Spades' tone is natural, he doesn't seem to think he's done anything shocking: "Change the look of the bones you don't like."

Bai Liu's chest rose and fell twice, and he took a slow, deep breath, the cold blood of Spades still dripping down onto his hand, the chilling warmth of which made him curl his fingers.

"I don't take souvenirs that have been artificially altered." Bai Liu looked up as he looked at the gash on Spades' face and his scowl went a few degrees colder, "I don't take scraps with scars either."

"I won't have a wound, I'm healing fast." Spades stresses.

Bai Liu exhaled a long, slow breath and he held out his hand, "Bring the bandages."

Spades quickly placed the bandage he had been clutching all the way to Bai Liu's hand.

Bai Liu glanced at the crumpled bandage in his hand and he lowered his eyes, "Keep your head down."

Spades obediently ducked his head and Bai Liu raised his head and, without looking away, reached out and wrapped his hand in a circle around Spades' face to bandage his wounds while Spades looked at Bai Liu with a good look.

Bai Liu's movements suddenly pause as he waits for the bandage to be applied to only his eyes.

The bandaged face of Spades in front of him put him in a trance for a moment.

When Xie Ta was in the orphanage, he made a doll of a long, thin, ghostly figure, but the doll did not have a face because it lacked bandages, and later Xie Ta was being drawn blood all over his body with needle holes.

Xie Ta then looked at Bai Liu, who was bandaging him, and whispered: [When these bandages are removed, your long, skinny ghost doll will have a face.

But until the end, Bai Liu never saw Xie Ta wearing the bandage mask.

Spades, so bandaged that only his black eyes are exposed, looks at Bai Liu with calm, unblinking eyes, as if he wishes to hold before him all the souvenirs of the world that please him, even if he is bruised.

Bai Liu pauses in his bandage wrapping.

Spades, whose mouth was wrapped in bandages, didn't rest and blared, speaking in a jarred voice, "You just looked at me and felt like kissing me ......"

Bai Liu pulled on the bandage and gave it a sharp tug, causing Spades to take two steps towards Bai Liu, who tightened the bandage without changing his expression and pulled it upwards over Spades' eyes.

Spades Slowly a question mark emerged, "I don't have a cut on my eye to wrap ......"

"You say some more nonsense." Bai Liu spoke amiably, "There'll be a cut on your eye later."

Spades wasn't sure what he'd said that he shouldn't have, but an inexplicable instinct told him it was best not to say anything now, so he oh-so-honestly said nothing.

The two men were silent for several moments, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Spades was blindfolded and he couldn't see Bai Liu's face, but he felt Bai Liu suddenly take a step towards him, breathing slightly sharply for a moment, then as if on tiptoe, and soon Bai Liu's warm breath landed very softly on his face -

Bai Liu drops a kiss through the bandage, his tone light.

"You're now a certified souvenir, bonus."

The gods logged out of the game and when they logged back in, they saw three men sitting stone-faced next to each other at the coffee table in the killers' lounge, as if they were watching a life-or-death meeting, and a motionless, face-down Spades lying on the sofa against the balcony, looking like a corpse.

It was a strange atmosphere as if a memorial service was being held for Spades, who had died in the line of duty.

The Reverse God stepped into the lounge with a cautious step as he ventured into his imagination, "What's going on? Spades molested Bai Liu and got smacked alive?"

Bai Yi looked up heavily at the Reverse God, "It's much more serious than that."

"I don't know what Bai Liu said to Spades that caused him to develop a major self-awareness disorder." Liao Ke shakes her head repeatedly and sighs, "I've given Spades a round of counselling, but there's still no improvement."

Bai Jiamu summed it up by shaking his fist with a blue face: "Falling in love, it's horrible."

Hearing this, the Reverse God instead stopped being anxious and sat down to take a sip of tea before continuing, " What happened when Spades came back?"

Bai Yi began to remember with a sullen look in his eyes, " I felt bad as soon as Spades came back, his eyes were all lax, he had a bunch of bloody bandages in his hands, and a big gash on his face, and I didn't know what Bai Liu, the brute, had done to him."

"Not only that, he came back with his face covered in blood, staring straight at us and pressing us to ask what would have bandages all over his face."

"I just told Spades that the bandaged face was supposed to be a mummy." Bai Jiamu looks regretful, "I shouldn't have said that to him."

Liao Ke looked at the Reverse God and stretched his hands helplessly: "Then Spades said he didn't want to be a lizard, he wanted to be a mummy, I said it was impossible for you to be a mummy, that method was too cruel, then he insisted on being a mummy, we didn't want to tell him the way to be a mummy, so he was angry and didn't move. We had no choice but to wait for you to come back and do some thinking for him."

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

Bai Liu, what a load of crap you've been talking to Spades about!!!
