Chapter 468: The Evil God Festival - The Boathouse

Looking at the two on the big screen, Wang Shun's voice began to tremble as he broke into a cold sweat: "So it's a straight fight? Bai Liu doesn't have a death warrant, and the panel can't beat Spades!"

" Bai Liu can you avoid Spades for now?"

Muke shook his head grimly, "He can't avoid it, the map of the sea shrine is too small to hide from, and neither he nor Spades is a player to avoid the main quest, plus this is the last map of the copy, and both Bai Liu and Spades' main quest is to sacrifice each other. "

"These two will definitely hit back head on."

Wang Shun listened to the cold sweat behind his back, his voice was hoarse with fear: "This main quest ...... does not mean that one must die to end the game?"

"Shit!" Mu Sicheng was shaking his leg so much that he could only see the stigmata, he was nervous to the max but his mouth was still tough, "That must have been Spades, not Bai Liu!"

"Bai Liu is very steady." Tang Erda agrees calmly, "Let's see what happens first."

"Wait." Liu Jiayi narrowed her eyes at the main quest on Spades' main panel, "No, Spades' main quest is not to sacrifice Bai Liu, but to sacrifice away [the most painful sacrifice]."

Muke turned to Liu Jiayi and asked with a frown, "Spades is the squire of the most painful sacrifice, his main task is to sacrifice the most painful sacrifice, we have just seen the selection process of this year's sacrifice on the big screen and Bai Liu is indeed the most painful of all the sacrifices in the Luming County boathouse. ."

"Yes." Liu Jiayi's face grew cold, " Bai Liu was the most painful of all the sacrifices in the boathouse, but not necessarily [the most painful sacrifice]."

Muke was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Haven't you noticed? There's a play on words." Liu Jiayi's tone was so cold that it was about to freeze, "There is no qualifier for this [most painful sacrifice]."

"Qualifier?" Bai Yi, sitting on the bench in the killer sequence watching the game, was doubtful as he tapped Liao Ke on the shoulder, "What does it mean Brother Liao ?"

Liao Ke's expression is the same as Liu Jiayi's: "The main quest given by Spades does not have a qualifier for the most painful offering, which means there is no stipulation on which area is the most painful offering."

"If this is the case without a qualifier, then it will default to ......"

"What the system wants Spades to sacrifice is not limited to being the most painful sacrifice in Luming County." Hearts in the audience dragged his jaw lazily at the big screen, "but the most painful sacrifice in the entire world at this very moment."

Phoebe leaned over the fence and looked at the big screen, blinked curiously and asked Hearts sideways, " Wasn't Spades' offering Bai Liu?"

"Not necessarily." Georgia, also sitting in the audience, straightened his back, his posture dignified as he looked meticulously at the big screen and explained in a clear and articulate manner, "Let's just say that the most Spades sacrifice that needs to be sacrificed at the moment is most likely Bai Liu, but that doesn't mean it has to be Bai Liu."

" For Spades to find his quest offering, it is best to do so in the capacity of being a most painful sacrificial squire himself."

"If it wasn't Bai Liu ......" Armand gazed at the big screen, "then whose squire would Spades be?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Opposite Armand in the audience sits Daniel, his feet wiggling excitedly from the divider of the railing, his right index finger twirling a bloodstained clown mask rapidly, his apple green eyes gazing intently at the top right corner of the big screen, a pompous grin on his face, "This is the last map point, if Spades doesn't find his If Spades doesn't find his sacrifice, it's Bai Liu's turn to win~"

Cen Buming, who hadn't moved from his seat, lifted his eyes and scanned the big screen: "The most painful sacrifice can't be Bai six."

"He will feel no pain."

Daniel turned his head and grinned as he flung the clown mask into Cen Buming's face, "And who do you think the most painful sacrifice would be, President?"

Cen Buming slowly opened his right hand and removed the clown mask that had been flung over his face, his eyes inexplicably obscure: "I think it's going to be--"

" Xie Ta ."

Daniel approached with great interest: "Who is Xie Ta?"

Cen Buming looked pale as he placed the mask over Daniel's face, he looked through it into the green eyes behind Daniel's mask and slowly curled a smile, "It is normal that you do not recognise it, for His existence is erased from this world line."

"All you need to know is that He is the [anchor] of Bai Liu."

The presenter broke up the conversation with a hysterical roar, " Bai Liu leads the charge!"

"He threw the whip straight at Spades' face!"

In-game, waterfront boathouse.

Mrs. Cang looked out the door at the heavy rain and looked increasingly worried, "Why is this rain getting heavier and heavier?"

"What, you still think it's bad when it rains heavily?" Xiaokui, who was lying on the ground, rolled her eyes, "Do you want the evil festival to go ahead as promised?"

"No." Aota gripped the shirt around his heart, his expression tightening, "But if the evil god festival is cancelled, Bai six won't have to practice the dance tonight, he'd logically be back at the boathouse by now, resting."

"But it's almost midnight and he hasn't returned from the shrine ......"

"You say ......" Aota's heart pounded, and he asked with a pale face, " Wasn't Lord Bai six taken by the imperial ship to be sacrificed alone?"

Xiaokui sat up sharply, she and Aota looked at each other and quickly denied Aota's thoughts, "No way, you are Bai six's squire, Bai six couldn't have been taken to the ritual as a sacrifice without you."

"And if Bai six, the most painful sacrifice in the boathouse, had been taken to be sacrificed, to prevent others from making wishes with Bai six, surely Gifune would have followed along himself to the sea shrine to make a wish, but he was just over at the boathouse ......"

Xiaokui pushed the door open and her pupils dilated slightly as she looked out onto the patio in the middle of the boathouse.

Just a moment ago, Gifune was here, holding an umbrella to examine the remaining offerings, but now the Gifune is gone, leaving only his footprints in the middle of the patio.

A servant of the Mifune family hurried down the corridor, and Xiaokui eagerly grabbed the servant by the scruff of his shirt: "Hello, where has Lord Mifune gone?"

The servant looked back at Xiaokui curiously, "Lord Mifune has finished examining the offerings and has gone to the port."

The harbour, that's where you go by boat to the shrine on the sea!

Mifune is really going to sacrifice Bai six guys!

Xiaokui's face was all white too.

In the harbour, Mikifune, carefully assisted by a few servants, jumped into a small boat, shrugged off the water-stained hem and sat down, the servants holding an umbrella for Mikifune and two boatmen holding the boat, who swayed the wooden paddle towards the sea shrine, which had barely moved from its position on the tip of the waves, in this dark and stormy night at sea.

As the rain poured down, the boat to the shrine swayed in the wind and waves, and Mikifune, sitting in the boat, swatted away the hand of the servant holding his umbrella, his eyes darkening as he looked towards the shrine on the sea, his face a darkly repressed, twisted, maniacal smile.

At last the day had come, the day the gods had told him in a dream.

He waited ten years in order to sacrifice away this most painful offering, in order to make this noble sacrifice the most painful day of all.

"Lord Gifune." The servant wiped a handful of rain from his face and shouted over the downpour, "For five years now, every time we've brought Bai six to be sacrificed, because the evil god couldn't be sacrificed without opening his eyes, why would Lord Gifune think that Bai six could definitely be sacrificed today ?"

"Is it a sign from the gods to you?"

The imperial ship was quiet for a long time, he looked out to sea and laughed maniacally, "Who told you I was going to sacrifice away Bai six ?"

The servant froze, "Didn't you say you were going to sacrifice away the most painful offerings tonight?"

"Who told you that the most painful sacrifice in this world is Bai six ?" Mikifune's face was grim and frenzied as he clenched his fists, "Yes that's right, Bai six is indeed the most painful, that's why Bai six is the chosen heir of the evil god, he is the next generation of the evil god."

"And the sacrifice I am offering tonight is the most painful being besides Bai six."

"- the corpse of the evil god who is trapped in this sea shrine, who can only see his beloved once a year, but cannot open his eyes to look at Bai six or open his mouth to speak a word to Bai six, is the most painful sacrifice in this world."

The goshawk grinned hideously, "This sacrifice is ripe for tonight, for the gods tell me that He has sent the sacrificial attendant of this evil god's corpse to the shrine."

"Tonight alone will be the most painful night of this sacrifice."

"The corpse of an evil god?!" The servant was so shocked that she could barely hold her umbrella, "Is that the evil god lord we're sacrificing away tonight, the one we've been worshipping all this time?!"

"After tonight it will no longer be an evil god." Mikifune wiped a handful of rain from his face and smiled grimly, "Or rather, it has ceased to be an evil god since I hid it five years ago, just a sacrifice that will eventually be sacrificed away by me."

"Hidden away ......?" The servant gave a start as he recalled with a start, "Indeed, I have never seen the corpse of the evil god-sama in the shrine, and those sacrifices that failed to be sacrificed said that they never found the body of the evil god-sama in the sea shrine, so it was hidden by you, Mikoto-sama."

Mifune looked at God Xiang Society and curled his mouth, "There's no way anyone would find the body of an evil god in a sea shrine."

"- I didn't even hide Him at the sea shrine."

A huge thunderclap fell, and in a flash of white light, a whip of bone swept through the shrine at sea like lightning, sending wood splinters and crashing bells flying in all directions.

Bai Liu's chest rises and falls twice as he calmly sweeps over the empty shrine.

-- Tavel is not here.

The shrine is only so big, and he's basically swept it all away, so that can only mean one thing - Mikifune has hidden Tavel away.

The black bone whip came down hard from behind Bai Liu, Bai Liu dodged it sideways, the whip swept across Bai Liu, Bai Liu had to face it head on, Spades pressed forward, his pure black eyes focused on Bai Liu, there was no emotion in his tone, "This is a match between you and me."

"Who are you distracted by? Are you trying to lose to me?"

The bone whip in Spades' hand bent and twisted quickly around Bai Liu's shoulder before Spades gave it a relentless tug downwards.

Bai Liu's arms were torn off and blood gushed out.

The crowd off the big screen came out in raptures as the host screamed in excitement, " Spades has disarmed Bai Liu!"

Mu Sicheng sat up straight from his chair, gritting his teeth as he watched Bai Liu bleed out on the screen, unable to utter a single swear word.

"Sit down!" Tang Erda lifted his hand and pushed Mu Sicheng back down hard, bit by bit, his head bowed, his fists clenched until they were white, not looking at the big screen, his voice low, "Trust Bai Liu ."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu uses player Liu Jiayi's panel to use the Antidote skill]

Bai Liu bit down on the antidote bottle and turned his head sideways to drink the air, his severed arms instantly growing out of his shoulders, then Bai Liu backhanded with a stern gaze, the whip in his hand turning into a short knife, his left hand pulling Spades' shirt, his right hand holding the knife and slashing it hard at Spades' neck.

Spades sidesteps it.

In the moment when Spades turned his head, Bai Liu turned his knife into a whip and wrapped it around Spades' neck with the force of his sideways movement, using the force to bring Spades to the ground with a condensed sideways turn.

With a speed of reaction not visible to the naked eye, Spades thrust his hands inside the whip ring Bai Liu had wrapped around his neck and pulled outwards forcefully, shaking his hand to widen it.

The moment the ring was widened, Bai Liu turned the handle and the bone spurs on the whip flared out and pierced into Spades' shoulder, and Bai Liu barely paused to catch the momentary break and pull the whip down.

Two huge cuts were made on Spades' shoulder and blood almost spilled onto Bai Liu's face, but was quickly washed away by the rain.

The host screams and almost topples the roof of the viewing pool: " Bai Liu fights back! He's got Spades with the whip!"

"I'm not here to sacrifice you." Spades was immobilised by the whip tying his arms to Bai Liu, whose chest was heaving violently, but he looked into Bai Liu's eyes and said flatly, "You are not a sacrifice in my mission."

Bai Liu's hands tightened, a strand of hair fell from the side of his face, blood and cream mingled around his lips, and he raised his eyes, his voice quiet: "I know."

"So I'm going to win you."
