Chapter 469: Evil God Ritual - Boathouse

" Bai Liu flips Spades overboard!!!"

The presenter danced with excitement: " Spades quickly fought back, caught Bai Liu on the ankle with his whip and dragged him down and now both players are in the sea!"

"Exciting!"

"Shit, shit!" Mu Sicheng's hands and feet were cold, his teeth were chattering as he clenched them, "How long is this fucking fight going to last!"

Wang Shun didn't dare to look at the big screen, he took a few deep breaths and looked down at the system panel to distract himself: " Bai Liu's popularity is currently on the rise, it's now close to the top 50, at number 48."

"The odds of him and Spades winning are now down to around 4:1 and our pool is currently growing at ......"

Wang Shun tapped on the panel and let out a long, slow breath, saying in a muffled voice, "- fifty times what it was at the start of the game."

The figures were horrifyingly good, but no one's face slackened at that.

--This is simply Bai Liu giving up his immunity and risking his life for attention.

Liao Ke's eyes were glued to the deep blue to almost pitch black waters on the large screen.

Bai Jiamu next to him clenched his fist on his knee as he exhaled and asked, " Uncle Liao, do you think Spades can win against Bai Liu?"

"It's hard to say." Liao Ke shook his head slowly as he let out a bitter laugh, "The God of Reverse might be able to see some sense of victory or defeat here, I can't."

"If I look at it ......"

Liao Ke paused, "Half and half."

"Half and half?! That's not true! The odds in the arena are 4:1 that Spades will win 80 percent of the time!" Bai Yi exclaimed, turning his head to the dark screen and stomping his feet, "Where is he? Can you turn up the brightness on the screen? You can't see anyone here!"

"Bai Yi." Bai Jiamu suddenly raised his hand to hold down the agitated Bai Yi, he looked up at Bai Yi's flustered face with a look of desperate determination, "If Spades loses, we have to win the double ......"

Bai Yi subconsciously retorted, " Spades won't lose!"

" Spades can lose." Bai Jiamu took a deep breath and squeezed Bai Yi's shoulder, his expression a little stern for his age, "Those gamblers can think he can't lose and go crazy and abuse Spades when he loses, but we're his teammates, we should have given him the right and leeway to lose."

"If we can't even accept him losing, then there's no one in the world who can accept him losing!"

Bai Yi's shoulders slowly slumped as he looked blank, tears spilling from his eyes as he mumbled something like, "...... But this guy didn't have a get-out-of-jail-free card, so if he loses, he dies."

There was a silence from all.

"I'm just kidding!" Bai Yi took a sharp deep breath and squeezed out a smile, " Spades conceded defeat and quit on his own, so it's all right then!"

No one answered Bai Yi's question.

The smile on Bai Yi's face slowly fades.

Spades may not be able to beat and run in the game pool, because it's just a game.

But this is a man who has never clicked the quit button in a race, even when he was drowning in the mud the last time.

Spades is a monster who won't admit defeat in a league, it's as if the [Quit] button disappeared from his system panel after the league started.

After a long, long time, Liao Ke spoke with his head bowed, "...... Spades was already born in circumstances that no one accepts, let's not let him end up in circumstances that no one accepts as a teammate."

"That's too much."

Bai Yi looks blankly up at the water rippling on the big screen, tears falling down his face as he slowly opens his mouth.

"So let's accept Spades' death, then, but?"

"...... He hasn't even been to reality once."

The screen screen flickered, turning from completely unreadable darkness to light, and the two men battling in the seawater reappeared in the picture.

As the picture became clear, the entire audience gasped in amazement, with many standing up and trying to get closer to the big screen to see the scene inside.

The presenter bounced wildly, "Here it comes, here it comes! The moment of truth is here!"

In the dark, swirling waters, black and white whips of bone intertwine, like the white bones of a fish stripped of its flesh, darting beneath the undulating and turbulent surface.

Bai Liu's ankles are wrapped around Spades' bone whip, which is used to drag him deeper into the sea.

"Spades' bone whip is dragging Bai Liu downwards!" The host gripped the microphone in excitement, "It is well known that Spades' Bone Whip is one of the highest intensity, high judgement skill weapons in the game, and the Slayer Sequence spends millions of points a year on maintaining this Bone Whip, which is basically impossible to get rid of once it's wrapped around your opponent!"

The red hairband was dragged loose, Bai Liu's long hair scattering in the sea for a moment as bubbles spilled from his lips, his brow coldly lingering as he swung the whip backhanded, turning it into a blade and slashing at the bone whip wrapped around his ankle.

" Is Bai Liu trying to cut this bone whip with a dagger?" The presenter shushed, "That's a bit of a cheap judgement, it's basically impossible."

Bai Liu's short knife did not stop in the slightest, and he made a crisp, clean cut.

A thick line of blood melted away from his feet in the water and the bone whip that had been wrapped around Bai Liu's ankle fell into the depths.

The presenter looked at the section of ankle that had fallen in the sea in disbelief: "...... contestant Bai Liu, chopped off his own ankle?!"

"He managed to get away from the Spades player's bone whip!"

Bai Liu replenishes the antidote, his severed right foot bends outwards and grows twistedly, the blood is mostly gone from his face and he surfaces upwards to take a deep breath as the rain pelts down wildly on Bai Liu's face.

He closed his eyes and breathed hard, his long hair falling below his shoulders and spreading out like ink in the water.

The next second, something rushed out from under the surface of the sea.

The black whip slashed through the side of Bai Liu's face as if to create a huge wave, scraping a finger-wide bloodstain across the right side of Bai Liu's face and tearing the shirt off his right shoulder.

Blood fell from Bai Liu's cold white face, dripping in and out, melting into his long hair that fell to the surface.

Spades, floating on the surface, holds his whip, his face emotionless as he looks at Bai Liu, his hair wet against his ears and forehead, obscuring his eyes.

He raised his hand and the whip slashed in both directions, lifting the water and coming straight at Bai Liu's face.

The whip grazed Bai Liu's left side, slicing the long hair on his left shoulder. Bai Liu took a deep breath and dived down into the deep.

Spades dived after him, legs together, swimming and diving underwater at speed, looking like a black-skinned tiger shark on the hunt, so fast that his face was pulled out of shape.

"Wow! Keeping up with it!" The host hammered the fence in excitement, "Not bad for Spades! All the opponents who have fought Spades say that his aquatic shadow gives him a complete attack advantage in the water, and now it seems to be true!"

" Bai Liu has no fight back at all!"

"What a load of nonsense!" Mu Sicheng was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and tried to climb on his swinging arm to hammer the host, "What a stupid commentary!"

Tang Erda forced him down: "You can't attack him from here."

On the big screen, Bai Liu is about to be grabbed around the waist by Spades, who is in hot pursuit.

Bai Liu spins out of the way and looks at Spades, who swims right above him, and the moment they are face to face, Spades barely hesitates before he throws his whip around his waist and pulls Bai Liu over.

Bai Liu swung around like a fish and ducked just as Spades' whip was about to touch his waist, swimming away.

"Dodged it!!!" The presenter clenched his fist and applauded, "Good move!"

Mu Sicheng also shakes his fist and shouts angrily, "Bull!"

Muke takes a long breath.

Liu Jiayi clenched her hands into fists against her jaw as she stared at the big screen, her lips pursed, "Looking at Bai Liu's movement speed right now, he should be on the Mu Sicheng panel with the fastest movement speed among us, or in full blast mode."

"But the pattern only lasts five minutes."

Muke is stunned.

Liu Jiayi looked up at the big screen, "If Bai Liu can't finish the game in five minutes, he'll be in a completely passive position."

Water ripples and bubbles tumble together in the large screen.

Downwards through the shallow waters, the colour and ripples of the water disappear and become calm, as if the wind and waves on the surface did not exist, Bai Liu dives downwards in the deep, his gaze straight ahead, followed not far behind by Spades who are also diving downwards.

Spades stared straight at Bai Liu, not once shifting his gaze, as if Bai Liu was the only being in such a large area of ocean worthy of his full attention.

A warm white light spreads out from the depths of the sea.

Bai Liu swiftly swings his feet sideways and swims towards where the white light is emanating from.

He swam right above the white light, then stopped moving, like a falling leaf, and slowly drifted down, his face expressionless, only the dark eyes reflecting the white light that seemed to breathe at the bottom of the sea, and the man at the centre of the white light.

Tavel, as if in a deep sleep, hangs his head, his arms and legs, his eyes entangled in a myriad of threads, his silver-blue curls and his blood-stained white hari-kari coat swinging away underwater.

The reverse cross pendant he exchanged from Bai six hangs from his heart, glowing warmly beneath the surface of the sea, reflecting his face, blurred by the silk threads, and the deep blue water dense with layers of watery light on his face.

Looking upwards along the Tavel threads, the other end of the threads are connected to the sea shrine, which is motionless in its position on the surface of the sea in the wind and waves.

The moment they met Tavel, Spades' and Bai Liu's system panels popped up simultaneously.

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Spades for finding the most painful sacrifice (Tavel), please sacrifice each other before the night of the evil sacrifice passes!

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for gathering the spirit and flesh of the evil god in one place, please sacrifice each other before the evil god sacrifice night passes!
