Zone B.

Liu Jiayi crawled out of the cemetery building, her face tense as she crouched on the ground on her hands and knees, and with a single bound she tumbled to the ground, rolling over and hitting one of the tentacles that had emerged from the cemetery to wrap itself around her ankle with precision.

The tentacle was smashed and fell into the cemetery building.

Liu Jiayi is clutching a white land certificate in her right hand, and there is still some blood on her face, obviously from the battle, as she purses her lips and stares at the exit of the cemetery.

The cemetery building behind them emits a black, poisonous mist, and the mournful hissing of the monster's corroded body can be heard inside.

Liu Jiayi was the first member of the team to receive a land certificate.

Because she used her poison fountain move to kill the developer monster below, Liu Jiayi hadn't wanted to use up her move so early and wait for the CD, after all, she could grind that monster to death, but Bai Liu hadn't contacted them for so long, something must have happened to this guy!

Liu Jiayi took a couple of brief breaths before immediately putting his head down and equipping himself with skates to move the props and get ready to head for C at full speed.

The sight of a little girl in a cemetery in the dark with her arms swinging at full speed was obviously an eerie one, but what was even more eerie was that, at some point, a black mist had silently started to fill in behind her, as if the Grim Reaper, who was hunting her in a cloak, had silently closed in on her back.

Liu Jiayi stopped abruptly, his hand suddenly reaching behind him and pulling out two vials of poison, backing up and sliding twice in both directions to avoid the black smoke, and looking somewhere in the cemetery and asking in a stern voice: "Who?!"

"Finally, I've waited until you've used your big move." A hollow voice came out from within the black mist, and the silhouette of a female figure was faintly visible within the mist.

Her voice was a little slurred, as if she was chewing on something, and there was a teasing, lazy smile in her tone, "Although I could easily kill you without waiting, I prefer to inflict the maximum amount of enemy death with a smaller damage expectancy."

"It's the basic self-awareness of a witch, isn't it?"

Liu Jiayi wasted no time in slamming a bottle of poison through, and two black mists of almost identical texture exploded in the centre, the mists colliding with each other, a clear line appearing in the centre of the two identical mists, and from the line a violent wind blowing in both directions towards the opposite side, the vegetation and grasses blown by the mists showed various degrees of erosion and withering.

The black fog across the street was blown away by the wind and the figure inside finally appeared in full view of Liu Jiayi, who breathed a sigh of relief and almost as soon as she saw the figure, she turned around without hesitation and stomped twice on the skates under her feet, trying to escape.

"A witch's code of conduct, the first thing to do when you can't go head to head with a powerful opponent is to ensure survival rates." A rather appreciative soft laugh came from behind Liu Jiayi's back, "Quite a clever choice."

"But what if this opponent is also smart enough that she guesses you'll do this and doesn't want you to get away?" The lazy female voice had just fallen when a crisp snap of a finger sounded, "Like this."

One by one, the cemetery buildings around Liu Jiayi began to burst into a toxic fog as the finger snapped, which filled inwards, constantly blocking her escape route and eventually leaving only a blank, uncovered circle of safety in the middle.

Liu Jiayi tried to force her way out twice, but each time she was forced to grit her teeth and retreat, eventually turning her back on the poisonous mist and looking at the woman who was slowly walking towards her out of it.

The woman's features are indistinguishable from her current self, but she has grown out of her current Liu Jiayi, with a short, two-part haircut, one at the ear and one at the nape of her neck, with her hair pinned casually behind her ear.

She wore a sporty red and blue clashing short top and shorts, but over it she had a wide sweatshirt with a brightly coloured band that reached her waist, graffiti-coloured board shoes and white socks that stood out a little higher than the shoes.

On the outside of the dress, the woman's exposed slender waist and thighs were taut and firm, and the lines of muscle on her abdomen and thighs could be clearly seen, a figure that would only come out of intense exercise at first glance.

She wears a black leg ring on her right thigh and a bullet belt-like girdle hanging diagonally from her waist, with a ring of poison test tubes filled with black liquid stuck to both the leg ring and the girdle, and a tattoo in the shape of a reverse cross, the size of a palm, on the skin beneath the leg ring.

The woman who was walking out was chewing a piece of pink bubble gum in a loose manner, blowing a huge bubble every now and then, then popping it, the gum around her mouth being bitten into and then chewed again, her crotch swinging right against the body of a woman whose head was hanging forward unconscious as she dragged her waist with her right hand.

Liu Jiayi noticed that the unconscious woman was Shi Qian.

She looked over at Liu Jiayi with a smile and raised her hand in greeting, "Hello, little blind man who can't get away."

"I trust you've guessed who I am?"

Liu Jiayi hid the bottle of poison behind her back and calmly replied, "Don't you think it's a bit degrading to make an enemy of yourself when you're only eight years old?"

"No." Liu Jiayi across the table casually tossed the unconscious Shi Qian aside, then squatted down to look at Liu Jiayi levelly, reaching out with her left hand and cupping her face with a smirk and a tug, the smile on her face actually a little sweet and gentle, "Isn't it only natural for a big sister to bully a little sister?"

Liu Jiayi leaned back slightly to avoid contact with her body, and out of the corner of her eye she looked at the five poison test tubes held in her right hand hidden behind her back, and asked coldly in return, "Big sister, isn't your definition of bullying a bit over the line? You're bullying me with five poison test tubes, I'll be played straight to death by you."

"Ehhhhhhh, yeah?" A mature Liu Jiayi cocked her head with a smile, "But that's how my brother and I played before he died eh."

"He had so much fun, he even plucked his own eyes out and cried for me to use them before he died."

She opened her pristine eyes and smiled with unmistakable joy, "Well, he gave me these eyes, not bad, huh?"

Liu Jiayi's breath hitched and she subconsciously clutched the rag doll at her side, but only for a moment before releasing it.

Across the room, Liu Jiayi's eyes darted down and she noticed a rag doll hanging by Liu Jiayi's side, and the affectionate smile on her face faded in a flash.

"You still have this disgusting filth." The mature Liu Jiayi looked up slowly, the smile on his face beginning to turn dangerous, "You're not still keeping Liu Huai alive, are you? Bai six didn't help you execute him?"

"He's dead." Liu Jiayi took a deep breath, " Bai Liu never helped me get my brother killed, he kept saving him."

" Bai six helped you save someone, how could you not?" Across the table Liu Jiayi snorted, "Just playing you, baiting you into killing someone."

Liu Jiayi looked up, she seemed to realise something and raised her little face to smile nastily at Liu Jiayi across the room, she made a face with a slight grimace, "Because my brother is hell bent on dying for me."

"My brother is the one who is different from your brother, he died after killing a bad father for me."

Across the room Liu Jiayi stared at little Liu Jiayi's tight expression for a few seconds, and after seemingly ascertaining that her opposite self was indeed not lying, the expression on her face completely disappeared, and the next second she backhanded and smashed five test tubes of poison onto the floor.

Liu Jiayi quickly holds his breath as he puts on his mask and then takes out the antidote spray and connects it to the mask connector, pressing it down twice quickly and taking two deep breaths of the antidote spray.

But even so, Liu Jiayi could clearly see his life bar jumping a notch and then slowly climbing up.

Just one sniff and that's it, this woman's poison is so potent!

In the midst of the poisonous fog, ethereal and ethereal voices come from all directions, as if a witch were chanting a spell.

"You, like me, have a stupid father and brother who are still being lied to about him loving you until they die, and a Bai six who constantly uses your residual value to bait your emotions and anger to help him kill people and do things, and as a creature in the same fate as you, the few sympathies I have that work on you can make your death a little easier. "

Liu Jiayi's dress and the doll's around her waist began to be corroded by the toxic mist around her as she looked around and retorted in a cold voice.

"Thanks for your compassion, big sister, but you'd better have more pity on yourself."

"My brother made a soul deal with Bai Liu before he died, just to guarantee that Bai Liu would treat me like family."

" Bai Liu has done the same."

"He got me out of the orphanage, found me adoptive parents and took me to meet his friends."

Liu Jiayi says calmly: "Whatever the circumstances, Bai Liu has never asked me to kill anyone."

"Generally speaking, sympathy is a feeling that only comes from happy people looking at the less fortunate, and from that point of view, Big Sister, it seems that I am the one who should sympathise with you, isn't it?"

The poisonous mist that flowed around Liu Jiayi froze for a moment, and the next second, it dispersed and the mature Liu Jiayi standing in the centre looked across at Liu Jiayi with no emotion on her face as she slowly opened her hands and then closed them.

"Poison Fountain."

The black poisonous mist instantly solidified as thick as liquid and gushed out of the ground to wrap Liu Jiayi!

Zone A.

Mu Sicheng pooh-poohed his way out of the dirt, complaining as he did so, "Damn, this cemetery building in Area A is too full of people! It's also full of big families."

"Are rich people so fond of arranging their family from life to death?! So many monsters, I do not know when to find Bai Liu said the rotten cemetery building ......"

As he spoke, he flipped upwards with one hand braced on the edge and looked set to land firmly on the ground.

A lilting, teasing whistle came from behind him, "Hey, is that what you're looking for, boy?"

Mu Sicheng's hands turned into sharp claws the moment his single foot hit the ground, and he turned over and retreated a dozen meters in quick succession to close the distance between him and the voice. Come out!"

"Nice vigilance there, I thought the little bosses of this world looked so soft that they would raise you to waste." The voice continued with a smirk.

Mu Sicheng stares dead at the figure of a man crouched halfway on a gravestone in a loose posture.

The bright moonlight shone backwards from behind him, and all that could be seen was a side face that was cracking a smile, and an eye that was oozing red in the white moonlight.

This profile gives Mu Sicheng a sense of familiarity and strangeness.

The man crouching on the headstone leapt down with an easy jump, walking towards Mu Sicheng with one hand in his pocket and waving a piece of paper with the other: "You're looking for the land certificate, aren't you? Here I am."

The man took one step into Mu Sicheng's visual range, then Mu Sicheng let out a startled grunt and instantly straightened up, "Who the fuck are you?!"

The man was loosely dressed in an exaggerated brown fleece, knee-length dark yellow woollen coat, which was unbuttoned and blown to the sides by the wind, but was peculiarly paired with a simple sports-style top, which felt like a mix of two pieces that he had picked up from his wardrobe when he was out.

His canvas trousers were tightened into high boots that reached his calves, and on his hands he wore seven or eight bizarrely shaped silver rings, the centre of which was engraved with a reverse cross turned to different angles.

"Who am I?" The person on the other side seemed like he had heard a very funny joke and couldn't hold back his laughter, "You're so stupid, you've seen my face and you're still asking, who else could I be?"

The man opposite slowly approaches Mu Sicheng.

The night breeze blew the fluff from the man's coat, and he walked with a lazy stance, yet the curve of his muscles could be clearly seen with each step, as if he were a lion who appeared to be strolling at ease, but was actually poised and ready to strike at his prey.

In the moonlight, the man's red eyes lit up alarmingly: "Of course I'm you, Mu Sicheng."

The overwhelming sense of pressure from the man opposite him made Mu Sicheng take two cautious steps back, his eyes darting from side to side.

If he can't fight, Bai Liu tells him that the first thing he needs to do is to save his strength, which means running!

With his speed, he should still be able to run away if he wants to.

Seeing a movement in his eyes, the man opposite raised his hands lazily, "Running away would be no fun, I'm not going to beat you."

Mu Sicheng's pace as he prepares to withdraw lurches, and he looks over hesitantly.

The man opposite slowly lifted the land certificate and then let go, Mu Sicheng's eyes glued to it, as it floated to the ground and then the man stomped on it with his boot.

Mu Sicheng felt his eyes were being stomped on by the other side.

"I haven't had such a fun copy with the boss in a long time." The man across from him suggested playfully, he snorted, "How about we play a game when I'm sleepy and lazy from just meeting and meeting in the guild every day?"

Mu Sicheng asks alertly, "What game?"

The smile on the face of the man opposite deepened, "A game you and I would both enjoy."

"Steal the game."

Mu Sicheng's breathing shifted for a moment before his pupils deepened and he turned his body fully to face the other man: "How do you play?"

"To be able to play with you for a longer period of time." Across the room Mu Sicheng rubbed the back of his neck, then raised his hand and loosened his arm, looking across the room after exhaling a comfortable cloudy breath, "I'll stand here, not using any skills, not equipping my monster book form, and not moving my feet, resisting you with just my left and right hands."

"And you-" the Mu Sicheng across the room pointed to his feet and raised an eyebrow with a smile, "you can use any means you like, and I'll let you go, as long as you can steal from me the certificate for the land you're stepping on under my feet. How's that?"

Mu Sicheng pauses for a second, then he rolls up his sleeves and sneers, fighting spirit in his eyes, "Come and play then."

Zone C.

The two whips, one black and one white, collided in the air for a moment, then bounced off to either side under the tremendous impulse, hitting the side of the building and smashing two vicious dents, and the building struck by the black whip cracked right through the fracture, slowly falling down like tofu sliced through the middle by a knife.

Everywhere there was dust and dirt, and a steady stream of buildings on all sides tumbled towards the open space in the middle.

There were two men in the clearing who were flying towards each other, they shook their whips in the thick smoke and dust, cutting a clearly visible space around them, then the next second the two men met on the ground, their whips striking and colliding with each other, a black crack appeared in the space under the tremendous force of the blows, which closed again quickly.

Bai Liu and Bai six, both wearing leather gloves, hold the handle of the whip in one hand and pull the other end of the whip to block the other's whip.

The black and white whips almost caught fire as they blocked each other, and in the faint glow of the fire, Bai six lifted his eyes, he looked at the cold faced Bai Liu and suddenly let out a soft laugh, "How about we make a bet?"

"How about a bet on which of my team members will kill your team member first?"

As soon as the words fell from his lips, Bai six slid upwards and drew back his whip, then in one quick motion lowered his body and pounded Bai Liu from the bottom up.

The whip on Bai Liu's hand disappears and his gloved hands turn into a pair of sharp monkey claws, the five fingers fitting together to form a sharp clawed blade that grazes diagonally across Bai Liu's shoulder.

Bai six grazed the monkey's paw and then quickly clawed back as he dropped his eyes and smiled softly, "I guess the first one is Mu Sicheng."

Bai Liu's dodging speed was not as fast as Bai six's attack and he was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the shoulder and then the next moment Bai Liu swung his whip outwards to open the monkey's claw that was stabbed into his shoulder.

The monkey's claws flopped outwards from Bai Liu's shoulder as the flesh and blood instantly stained Bai Liu's shirt at the shoulder.

Bai six, having been opened up a distance by Bai Liu's swing of the whip, nonchalantly withdrew his still countryside downward dripping blood monkey paw and continued in Bai Liu's direction through the dust, asking politely, "Who do you think will be the first to die?"

Bai Liu did not answer, and in the dusty haze all that could be heard was the sound of his blood dripping down his fingertips to the ground.

[System warning: Player Mu Sicheng's life expectancy continues to drop, down to 27!

Mu Sicheng was thrown and knocked off four or five tombstones. He covered his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground, staggering and holding onto the tombstones to stand up, but his knees were so weak that he failed to stand up twice and could only half kneel helplessly on the ground, staring with blood-stained eyes at his distant self, whose posture was carelessly stepping on the land certificate.

...... is so scary.

So his hands, could they have this level of power?

Across the way Mu Sicheng, his left foot on the land certificate, the ground not even moving a footprint, patted his mouth with a long drawn out yawn, tears leaking from the corners of his eyes, "71 attempts, still coming?"

Mu Sicheng swallows the mouthful of blood that rises to his throat as he staggers to his feet, his head bowed and his fists clenched.

What about .......

If Bai Liu were here, would he have chosen to continue or retreat after having lost forty points of blood?

Was the choice he had just made the right or wrong one? Should he continue?

"Hey, do you have a choice or not?" Across the room, Mu Sicheng waved loudly, "I'm going to fall asleep if I don't."

Mu Sicheng clenched his teeth as he took a deep breath and just about turned around.

"Are you running away?" The Mu Sicheng lazily put his hands behind his head, "Not so stupid as to know how to defend himself, if it were me I wouldn't be so honest as to complete Bai six's mission."

"That guy is an inhumane guy, just like Liu Huai, and not worth the trouble you've gone to for him."

"Don't bother with these rotten people."

Mu Sicheng's half-turned body paused as he snapped his head up, his eyes red as he raised his fist and charged forward, "Don't you dare talk about my friend like that!!!"

"They're not the ones who suck!!!"

[Assassins and thieves, what a lousy name!

[Eh? Does it suck? I think it's okay!

Liu Huai scratched his head and smiled at Mu Sicheng with embarrassment, "I thought it would be cool to bring along Fourth Brother's Thief for that title."

[Rangers and Monkeys, what a shitty name, Bai Liu, go to hell!

[Can we really win in the end?

Bai Liu turned to him with a calm expression, "That's not for you to think about."

"Go and do what you have to do, I'll figure out the rest."

"We're going to win."

Then I don't care! Let's bet on this one! Just die!!!

Bai Liu There's always a way to save the Bureau!!!

Tears burst from Mu Sicheng's eyes as he viciously raised his fist to the other Mu Sicheng's face and hissed, "- for the 72nd time!!!"

The mature Mu Sicheng easily dodged it with just a shake of the shoulder, Mu Sicheng's descending fist shifting into a monkey's paw the moment it landed on the man's shirt, his gaze blazing as he aimed his certificate at the ground beneath him.

That one was just a front for him, his real goal was still to steal the land certificates.

The mature Mu Sicheng raises his eyebrows slightly, crouches down and moves his knees to one side to block Mu Sicheng's paw, and with both hands he grabs Mu Sicheng's paw and folds his arms inwards as easily as if he were snapping chopsticks into three pieces.

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng's life value has dropped to 20!

He gritted his teeth to hold back the blood that was rushing out of his throat and rolled over to try again, but Mu Sicheng easily grabbed his monkey paw, then gripped his shoulder and spun around diagonally to throw Mu Sicheng out like before.

Get thrown out one more time and you might be dead!!!

At the moment of being thrown out, Mu Sicheng rolled over and used the monkey's paw, which was broken in three internal pieces, to clutch the mature Mu Sicheng's shirt in unbelievable pain and not be thrown out.

The other Mu Sicheng raises an eyebrow and then grabs the sides of Mu Sicheng's shoulders and abducts them, as if to fold Mu Sicheng in half right down the middle.

"All those times you've had your arms broken and you still haven't remembered." The mature version of Mu Sicheng had a cold expression on his face, "This time I'll teach you a hard lesson."

Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and hissed out, he bucked the force of his opponent and tucked his shoulders inwards, his shoulder joints were dislodged by the force of the squeeze on either side, and at the moment they were dislodged, Mu Sicheng's pupils tightened and spread, and he fell straight to the ground.

"You've had your monkey paw removed so many times by your so-called friends and you don't remember, now you finally don't have one." The big Mu Sicheng crouched on the ground and poked the face down Mu Sicheng a few times in boredom, "The game is over."

Mu Sicheng's shoulders drifted from side to side grazing the ground, struggling to move forward a few steps closer to the mature version of Mu Sicheng, seemingly wanting to do it all over again.

A little boredom finally appeared on the mature Mu Sicheng's face: "I'm sick of your so-called friends, come over here again and I'll really kill you."

Mu Sicheng's face lifted up bruised and battered, and with a smug grin on his face, which was scrubbed on the ground, and the land certificate in his mouth, he slurred, "I stole the land certificate from under your feet, and I won!"

The mature version of Mu Sicheng's pupils flinched.

This guy just did it on purpose.

Mu Sicheng knows that the breaking of his arms is considered a common psychological weakness between them, so when Mu Sicheng is tortured by the breaking of his arms, not only does he suffer himself, but the tormentor himself suffers a certain amount of psychological negligence.

And it was in this gap that the guy fell to the ground and played dead, actually gnawing at the dirt under his feet with his mouth without any dignity, taking the land certificate out.

Mu Sicheng knew he was a very respectful man, and there was no way in any world line that he would lie at the feet of another for Bai six to pick up one of the land certificates he was stepping on.

How is it that Mu Sicheng of this world line can do this to Bai Liu?

The mature Mu Sicheng meditates for a moment.

When he didn't say anything, Mu Sicheng, who was lying on the ground, became a bit apprehensive and angry, and while clenching his teeth in fear of being robbed of his land certificate, he questioned him vaguely, "Hey! You're not going to say no to souring!"

Across the room Mu Sicheng returned to his senses, he lowered his head and locked eyes with the slumped Mu Sicheng for a few seconds before suddenly laughing low in disdain, "I may be a fool, but you did win."

Mu Sicheng's eyes lit up and then he watched as this mature version of Mu Sicheng slapped him on the head and stood up, turned away and waved to him with one hand in his pocket.

"I failed my mission and went to my boss to collect my punishment, more than likely he'll whip me, probably to death."

"Your boss is good."

This Mu Sicheng paused for a moment, "He taught you to be quite handsome, despite what you did to pull it off."

Mu Sicheng, lying on the ground, was full of questions: "????"

Is that a fucking compliment or is that a slur?
