Chapter 48: Explosive Last Train

After the whip, Bai Liu's stamina bar was depleted by the high level of the fishbone, and with a gasp his feet went weak and he fell half on the hood of the car, his face pale and sweat soaked through his shirt.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu's stamina has dropped by 80 due to the use of an item (Siren's Fish Bone), please replenish your stamina in time! Avoid running out of stamina and being unable to move!

The passenger Bai Liu had smacked with a whimper of pain in his throat, and with a wobbly twist of his eyes, held in their sockets by a burnt nerve, he immediately turned and ran towards Bai Liu on all fours.

Bai Liu tilted his head and finished his bottle of strength supplements, his eyes calm as he backhanded another [passenger] who was about to attack Mu Sicheng, his voice hoarse: "Second, three more."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu used (Siren's Fishbone) to smack the passenger, target hate value shifted, he decided to capture Bai Liu ......]

Whip after whip, Bai Liu spent most of his time aiming his whip at the passenger out of the corner of his eye while shouting for a bottle of stamina supplements, the rapid draining and replenishment of his stamina causing Bai Liu's condition to drop to the point of being visible.

His face was white, his body in a cold sweat, his wrist shaking so badly with the whip that he could barely stand up in the car and was barely held in place by the seat belt that was tied around his ankle.

In such a weakened state, Bai Liu was still able to deliver every single whip, hitting the back of [the passenger's] hand as it prepared to attack Mu Sicheng.

And Bai Liu seems to be trying to keep the verdict, as he hits the same spot with almost every whip.

Du Sanying almost looked dumbfounded.

It's so strong ...... Is the quality of newcomers so outrageous now?!

Du Sanying wondered how Bai Liu could aim like a marksman, because this guy, although all his attributes were dropping like crazy, and his stamina was bouncing around 0 for a long time, and Du Sanying was already delirious as a dead dog at this point, was... -Du Sanying.

-- Bai Liu's attention was focused on Mu Sicheng, without a single moment's distraction.

"The fifth one. " Bai Liu's whole body looked as if he had been fished out of the water, his hair damp against his forehead, his eyes growing darker under the sweat, reflecting only a Mu Sicheng, he smiled and exhaled, "Go on, Mu Sicheng, the plan works, go ahead with it. "

His legs were weak and sweaty, and he almost slipped off the bike when Du Sanying grabbed Bai Liu's ankle and pulled him up.

Bai Liu lay on his back on the hood of the car, catching his breath as he poured down another bottle of strength supplements.

Du Sanying, while driving his go-kart around the carriage and hanging on to the five [passengers] who were chasing them, took a worried look at Bai Liu, who could barely stand up: " Bai Liu, you're in too bad a state! Do you need to take a break!"

"No, the train is about to leave." Bai Liu gave orders to himself and Mu Sicheng at the same time, he staggered to his feet propped up on the hood of the car, his eyes bland, "Go on, Mu Sicheng you don't want to grab every passenger, you're losing life points too quickly that way, you try to locate who has lenses inside."

"I don't want to either!!!" Mu Sicheng was also grumpy, he would get burned by the flames if he grabbed one and his life value would drop by one, there were so many passengers he simply couldn't grab each and every one of them, it would be a total death wish, "but I can't even tell which of them have lenses!"

All the passengers are a charred black mess, still hashing and burning, so who the hell can get a broken lens the size of a few carats out of it!

"Isn't finding stolen goods what thieves like you do best?" Bai Liu was in the mood to tease Mu Sicheng at this time.

The flames steaming and the ashes drifting about were so distracting that Bai Liu could not simply determine who had the lenses.

Unable to draw a conclusion from the passengers, Bai Liu looks backwards from the results - Bai Liu's eyes move quickly to the five passengers following the kart, one of whom Mu Sicheng has found with a broken lens, and Bai Liu's eyes narrow.

Of the five passengers caught by Mu Sicheng, one ran and flamed much more slowly than the other four, wandering about as if he were a headless fly, and this was the [passenger] from whom Mu Sicheng had stolen the broken lens earlier.

But earlier Bai Liu vaguely remembered that this [passenger] was moving much faster when the shattered lens was still on this passenger.

" Mu Sicheng, the weakness of passengers with shattered lenses is the shattered lenses!" Bai Liu spoke quickly, "This broken lens seems to have a bonus effect on these [passengers], you look for passengers who are moving faster and flaming closer to exuberance to catch, can your view see who is moving faster and who is flaming more?"

"No!" Mu Sicheng hung from the hoop with his back pressed against the roof of the carriage as he casually waved the ashes flying up in front of him, squinting in vain as he tried to distinguish the mass of red and black interlaced below.

Mu Sicheng coughed: "All I can see here is a big fire and a bunch of passengers stuck together, I was catching them blind before!"

With that, Mu Sicheng suddenly dangled his tail from the hoop and sank his body into the flames, gritting his teeth and reaching out to grab another passenger.

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng was injured by the flames, -1 Life, -1 Spirit]

"Stop, Mu Sicheng, you can't keep scratching, you're down too badly, any more scratches and you'll easily die, and one of your five scratches is effective, it's Bai Li eighty percent, you're likely to be ineffective this time too ...... " Bai Liu lashed his whip over almost as soon as Mu Sicheng's claws were drawn, opening up the passenger who had tried to attack Mu Sicheng.

Mu Sicheng raised an eyebrow to Bai Liu to indicate the broken lens he had stolen another one from his hand and interrupted with a grin, "Sorry, this time it works."

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng has obtained a broken lens (2/????)]

Bai Liu quickly looked up at the one hanging from the hoop without saying anything wrong: "You can tell?"

"You can tell by dropping into the passenger pile altogether." Mu Sicheng wiped the smoker's marks from his grilled face and gave Bai Liu a slightly affirmative smile with a raised eyebrow, "You smoked it right, otherwise I wouldn't dare do it, falling in and stealing something would be too easy to be killed back by a passenger whose hate value was locked on me."

"I promise I'll whip so accurately every time." Bai Liu raised her eyes and smiled, waving her whip in an inviting gesture, "You go on."

Dangling by his tail from the hoop, Mu Sicheng falls into the fire and charred corpses like a monkey into the moon, rubbing his face numerous times with passengers who want to bite him back because their hate value has targeted him.

Sometimes the passenger's mouth is so wide open that the flames from the passenger's mouth can burn Mu Sicheng's face, but before Mu Sicheng can feel the fear, a snow-white bone whip must slice through everything and open the hideous [passenger's] mouth that is about to bite Mu Sicheng on the shoulder.

It was a worry-free theft.

Mu Sicheng will steal two, three, four or more passengers at a time without having to think about them attacking him in return.

Bai Liu was, as he said, precise in every instance, and always able to keep the upper limit of Mu Sicheng's misdeeds in check. No matter how many passengers Mu Sicheng stole at a time, Bai Liu was able to jerk them out of the way and give Mu Sicheng a safe environment to steal from.

Bai Liu's assured anti-monster performance gradually focused all of Mu Sicheng's attention on the [stolen broken lens].

Perhaps that's why Mu Sicheng has completely forgotten that he is entrusting his back and his life to a player with an F-rank panel who is only in his second game.

With each swing of the whip draining 60 per cent of the player's energy, and all the passengers Mu Sicheng had stolen from now behind Bai Liu's kart, Mu Sicheng felt the pressure was off, and stealing the broken lenses was becoming more and more comfortable.

But on Bai Liu's side, the pressure on Du Sanying was much stronger.

Du Sanying's kart was moving fast and could still stick to the walls of the car, with a [luck buff] bonus, so even if a few passengers came head-on, most of them would be missed by the car, but even so, Du Sanying's face was now white as he drove, with a long line of charred bodies dangling behind him, some of them going so fast Some of them were so fast they could have been pulled into the car, and were whipped away by Bai Liu as Du Sanying screamed.

"Bai, Bai Liu." Du Sanying looked behind him at the long line of corpses flying after them like a strange species, each with a fierce expression, looking at Bai Liu with resentment, the pile of passengers rolling together with flames so big that they burned the rear of Du Sanying's go-kart, which made Du Sanying's speech stutter in fear: "Bai, Bai Liu, we can't hang here, if we hang more monsters we'll overturn! "Bai, Bai Liu, we can't hang here anymore, if we hang more monsters we'll overturn the car here!"

"You won't roll over with anyone." Bai Liu indifferently continued to clean Mu Sicheng [the passenger] without giving Du Sanying a single look, but his tone was complimentary, "Believe in yourself, you're 100 per cent lucky."

It was the first time Du Sanying had heard a player in the same game as him say he was 100% lucky in such a complimentary tone, but Du Sanying wasn't happy at all.

Du Sanying, who was at the wheel, just wanted to cry: "I'm not invincible all the time even if I'm 100% lucky! Bai Liu, I can roll over and die too! Bai Liu, I can roll over and die too! 100% luck only guarantees that I'll be less likely to die, not that I won't!"

"No!!! I can't drive anymore!!!" Du Sanying turned blue, he had just been bitten in the neck by a passenger who had attacked him from the side, if he hadn't had a strong feeling and dodged his head, he would be dead now, "Bai Liu! I can give you the car, I want to get out!"

For a moment, Du Sanying suddenly had a very strong feeling of unluckiness.

Du Sanying has always been an intuitive creature and his instincts have always been accurate, his instincts have saved him from countless disasters - generally speaking, such a premonition means that something very bad is likely to happen to him and he must run!

"I told you to believe in yourself, Du Sanying." Bai Liu stood in the car, there was something cold about the way he looked at people out of the corner of his eye, his eyes were as black as burning carbon, with no extra heat at all, and with the seemingly kind smile on his face it was even stranger, something that sent a shiver down your back, Bai Liu smiled and whispered to Du Sanying, "I need you, Du Sanying."

Du Sanying's sweat stood up all over his body for a moment, that [Danger! Run! Du Sanying had never experienced such a strong sense of crisis since he entered the game, and from a player, he subconsciously wanted to jump out of the car and escape, but -

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu needs help from player Du Sanying, player Du Sanying needs to give help to player Bai Liu, please ask player Du Sanying to cooperate with player Bai Liu in all his actions!

Du Sanying broke down: "!!! When did you control me!!! I put on a [control-proof coat] on myself! Even the [Puppet Master] can't control me after wearing this! Why are you still able to control me!!!"

"I told you I had no control over you." Bai Liu coughed weakly as he wiped away the stamina supplement spilling from the side of his mouth and smiled, "I'm just a collaborator who asked for your help, just in case a little trick was used."

"Keep driving." Bai Liu looked at Du Sanying and said, " Du Sanying, if you run now, Mu Sicheng and I will both die, so you must be stable, understand?"

Bai Liu looked down at Du Sanying who was trembling: "Don't worry, I won't let Mu Sicheng die, and I won't let you die either."

He smiled, the blood stains and ashes on his cheeks bringing a cruelty to this otherwise kind smile: "You are all valuable to me."

--------

"The train is about to start - will all passengers who wish to alight please line up and alight in order -"

The group of charred corpses went out of the bloody carriage in turn, leaving three men so deflated that they leaned together.

Du Sanying, lying on his back with his eyes blank and limp in his disfigured go-kart, felt like he was going to foam at the mouth in the next second: "I don't want to drive anymore ......"

Mu Sicheng, one knee bent and his head tilted back against the door of the car, has been transformed from that capuchin monkey state into his normal human form, but all over his body he is charred, the corners of his mouth, cheekbones and the skin on the backs of his hands so badly burned that red flesh is exposed, and the monkey on the headphones seems to be dying, curled up in a pitiful ball making gibbering wails, the red light in his eyes faint.

But it was Bai Liu who was in the worst shape of the three.

His body is bloodless, white as a dummy made of snow, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth after a few coughs, his mouth full of blood and bits of guts, wiped away carelessly by Bai Liu, his fingertips slowly playing with a diamond-like object that Mu Sicheng has gathered from the broken lenses.

Repeated stamina fills and overdrafts are very taxing on the player, a depletion that is a physical state that brings down vitality in the same way that mental strength does.

A drop in mental value means the player is in a bad mental state and a drop in vital value means the player is in a bad physical state.

Mu Sicheng knows the feeling of nausea and dizziness that comes with being drained of energy and then forcibly replenished, as if the whole body has been washed in a tumble dryer and the internal organs feel like they are about to burst. Bai Liu looks like a hungover man.

Mu Sicheng briefly glanced at the empty bottle at Bai Liu's feet and gave a tsk of indefinable feeling.

This crazy bastard, so full of stamina supplements that he couldn't stand up when he got off the station, the first thing he actually asked for was broken lenses.

" Bai Liu, how much life do you have left?" Mu Sicheng asked.

Bai Liu nodded slowly at his panel, his wrist no longer able to move fast enough from wielding the whip.

[Player Bai Liu's personal panel].

[Life: 21 (Drops after being attacked by player Mu Sicheng and after being burned by flames)]

[Stamina Value: 31 (depleted, recovering)]

[Mental Value: 89 (mildly alienated by passenger attack)]

"21." Bai Liu replied back to Mu Sicheng, "That wave just cleared 10 life points out of me, where's yours Mu Sicheng?"

Mu Sicheng clicked on his personal panel and his face instantly sank.

[Player Mu Sicheng's personal panel].

[Vitality: 70 (drops after being burnt by flames)

[Stamina: 59 (depleted, recovering)]

[Mental Value: 61 (mildly alienated by passenger attack)]

"Tch, I got eaten for 24 life points." Mu Sicheng eyes obscure, "Although I paid attention back there, the flames burned to the point that I didn't drop my spirit value much anymore, but my spirit value is still rimmed, I need to float it."

"Don't you dare drift yet, your low spirit value is useful to me." Bai Liu said, as he continued to click on his panel to check the monster book and the progress of the main quest completion:.

[Main Quest - Collecting the Broken Lenses on the Last Train (20/)]

[Bursting Last Train Monster Book Refresh - Bursting Passengers (1/3)]

[Monster Name: Burst Passenger

[Features: Very fast movement speed (1000 points of movement speed, flame has a bonus effect)].

[Weakness: Broken Lens (1/3)]

[Attack: Burned by the fire from the bursting passenger's body, the life and spirit value will be reduced].

"Not good, I'm in big trouble on my side ......" Bai Liu's expression grew more and more stony.

Bai Liu seldom says this kind of thing, but when he encounters any difficulties, he always says, "Don't be afraid of anything! The best way to overcome difficulties is to overcome them! He is a contemporary Ollie to the master, but before this man got off the bus with weak hands and feet, he still looked like he was calm and sure of his victory, but now he actually said he had encountered a big difficulty!

"What's wrong?" Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying both asked in unison, their faces tense.

"I bought 80 bottles of stamina supplements and I've just used up 33, I've got 47 left, but there are several more stops to come and those 47 bottles aren't necessarily enough ......" Bai Liu looked as pensive as ever, "but I I've just realised that I can't afford to buy more, I'm poor and this is a big problem."

[System Alert: Bai Liu account points balance 179, balance cannot be used to purchase stamina supplements]

"I need your help!" Bai Liu looked eagerly at Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng, "Can you sponsor me for a few points! Thank you!"

Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng: "......"

Using them and asking them for money at the same time, could this one be more shameless!

----

[Graveyard Bounce] Zone.

The area is a rare crowded place, with almost all the people flowing into one place, Bai Liu's small TV is filled with spectators, all looking up at it with rapt attention.

From the second round of the chase, no, or theft war that just started on the passengers, from Mu Sicheng starting to steal the broken lenses and being attacked, Bai Liu wielding the whip to shift the hate value, to Du Sanying breaking down and backtracking, to Bai Liu taking control of the whole situation, so much actually happened in just two minutes.

Everyone watched without blinking, subconsciously holding their breath, and in the process a steady stream of spectators came from all directions, silently joining the ranks of those tilting their heads to watch Bai Liu's small TV.

Almost no one spoke out, in such a fierce battle, until the result was known, all discussion would pale in comparison, this was a battle led by Bai Liu, a big gamble, a win-lose Buming showdown, and until we knew who had won, the judgement of them, the audience outside the game, would be one-sided.

Only the results of success or failure can assess the rightness or wrongness of Bai Liu's crazy move.

And he, the madman, he manipulated the third and fourth players on the Rising Stars list, and he succeeded.

Wang Shun, who was standing closest to Bai Liu's small TV, let out a long breath. He had been breathing slowly for two minutes because he was so nervous, but now he was taking deep breaths all at once and his heart was beating fast, with a feeling of numbness in his fingertips.

Wang Shun looks at Bai Liu's still quiet face on the screen in a trance, unable for a moment to find a reasonable word to assess this newcomer.

Bai Liu once again refreshes Wang Shun's perception of him.

Finding the broken lenses and deciphering the monster book is a normal part of the game process, but few people can maintain the high level of clarity and almost brutal calm that Bai Liu has, executing decisions without hesitation.

Like Mu Sicheng's faltering, Du Sanying's fear, it is difficult for humans to put life and death behind victory in a game where life and death will be decided, and although the two are somehow linked, few players are willing to give up their lives recklessly to codify victory in a lethal situation.

But Bai Liu ...... the man from start to finish, he considered Mu Sicheng's survival rate, he considered Du Sanying's survival rate, he considered the course of the game, but the only thing he didn't consider was whether he himself would survive.

--strength drained and filled up in seconds, his body spilling blood under the extreme exertion, his vitality bouncing down one by one, Bai Liu swung the whip an unknown number of times, and by the end of the day his whole body was in a state of slumping back and forth with his ankles dangling from a seatbelt because he was in such bad shape.

But his whip never lost its precision from start to finish, and the first thing Bai Liu did when he got out of the car was to grab Mu Sicheng's shirt in a death grip and tell him to give him the broken lens.

Bai Liu's insane, chilling desire to win rocked Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying inside the game and all those who saw Bai Liu's performance outside the game, and they couldn't help but come to the Graveyard Bounce area to get a first-hand look at just how far this newcomer could go.

"This guy, he's so uncompromising." Wang Shun moved his tingling fingertips as he took another deep breath and looked down to open his points wallet, "It's too stifling to see you fight so hard to lose because you don't have the money."

The rest of the audience kept their heads down and whispered.

"If this Bai Liu player gets out alive this time, he'll be a god in the future."

"Only 21 life points left ...... yet I always feel like he won't lose what's going on?"

"It's horrible ...... 33 bottles of stamina refills in two minutes, isn't this rookie panel an F?! My God, how can he stand it, my C rank panel, a minute to drain and fill me with stamina value three times I'll throw up ......"

"...... I'm a viewer on the small TV side of Du Sanying and I've never seen a cockatoo fight so hard ......"

"I'm from God Mu's side and I've never seen God Mu pushed like that ......"

" Bai Liu, a newcomer, is so strong that Du Sanying, third in the Rising Stars list, and Mu Sicheng, fourth, are completely overwhelmed by him and are acting on his command ......"

There was a steady stream of whispered discussions, exchanges of opinions and the sound of heads tapping their wallets, and Wang Shun looked back at the crowd and audience that had somehow gathered behind him, and the expressions of impressed praise on their faces, with a mixed and slightly relieved sigh.

Bai Liu, the man who dropped to [Graveyard Bounce], was able to turn it around with an absolute performance.

It's a match for Spades, who topped the table.

[9706 people have liked Bai Liu's TV, 10006 people have favorited Bai Liu's TV, 7990 people have charged Bai Liu's TV, and 12081 points have been credited to Bai Liu].

[15,900 new people are watching Bai Liu's TV, you have 99% of the viewers in the Graveyard Bounce section, you are the King of Graveyard TV here!

[37588 player likes, 40854 player favorites and 2643 points to recharge before player Bai Liu leaves (Graveyard Bounce Zone)]

------

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has gained points to charge 12081, is he buying props?

Bai Liu's mouth is slightly hooked: [A great harvest, I want to buy props]

Bai Liu, who had finished cheating the audience, replied to the system in his head while swiping the system shop interface rapidly, as if he had discovered something, his finger that kept swiping finally stopped: [Why are rocket launchers, atomic bombs, fire hydrants and high-pressure water guns not available for purchase in this game?

[System: The game will prohibit players from purchasing items that would significantly damage the balance of the game].

[Props that will drastically affect the balance of the game ......] Bai Liu narrowed his eyes, [Help me find out if there are any props in the bomb and water categories that I can buy]

System silent for a second: [Sorry, player Bai Liu is not available for purchase]

...... really can not ah ...... no wonder just Mu Sicheng hard resistance instead of trying to buy props to douse the fire on the passengers a little, it turns out that simply can not buy ah ......

Bai Liu seems to have an idea: [Looks like bombs and water will have to be sourced locally ......]

"Bai Liu, you did guess correctly, the broken lens is indeed inside the passenger, but that plan of yours is too much of a drain on all of us." Mu Sicheng's dark voice snapped back to the distracted Bai Liu's attention, "I've been cleared of 24 life points in one station, I won't last the remaining 8 stations, I'll only last 3 stations on a full count."

Mu Sicheng paused for a moment and added, "Including yourself, Bai Liu, you only have 21 life points left, you'll last at most two more stations, we won't be able to collect all the broken lenses at all."

"True, but I don't intend to keep stealing broken lenses by draining your life." Bai Liu looked at the broken lens in his hand and suddenly tossed the pile of broken lenses to Du Sanying, who was cowering in the corner, reducing his presence, "You keep the broken lenses, Du Sanying."

Du Sanying fumbled for the broken lens, pointing his index finger at the tip of his nose in dismay: "Me? Are you sure you want to give it to me?!"

"Make sure it's for you." Bai Liu explained before Mu Sicheng could frown and open his mouth, " Du Sanying, it is safest for you to take this, there is no way for everyone to take it from you easily, especially the [Puppet Master]."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with a sense of urgency: "What do you want again?"

Bai Liu, however, did not answer Mu Sicheng's question positively, but sat cross-legged, answering the question, and started writing on the ground with his fingers, analyzing the plot of the entire copy: "I just went to the mall and browsed around, and all water and fire props in this game are banned, which means that players cannot use props to put out the [passengers'] body flames."

"My guess is that the system is going to force the player to get a shard, to be burned by [the passenger] and lowered by one life value, which should also be the difficulty of this game, which means that the player has to trade life value for collecting items to pass the game."

Bai Liu dipped the tip of his finger into a bit of black ash on the ground and wrote two numbers [700] and [20].

"We have a total of seven players and a total life value of seven hundred, and based on this game's mortality rate of fifty to eighty percent and the equation that one life value equals one fragment, a total life value of 700 times (50% - 80%) would put the number of small fragments in this game in a range of [350 -560]." Bai Liu wrote [350-560] a range on the ground with his finger.

Then Bai Liu drew another circle on the number [20] with his finger and continued in a calm tone, "We've just collected 20 fragments in one station, with the three of us basically occupying half of the carriage and the four puppeteers in the other half, so assuming the puppeteers collect the same number of fragments as we do, the total number of fragments in one station is probably 40 or so."

"There are 10 stations in total, so the total number of lenses should be around 400." Bai Liu dots a little more on the [350-560] range, "This number of fragments is in that range, and I'm leaning towards the fact that this is most likely the total number of fragments that need to be collected."

"400 fragments means that 400 life points will need to be expended." Bai Liu's tone was uneventful, "There are two options here, the first is for the seven people to enter into a partnership, each of them voluntarily consuming 57 life points in exchange for the shards, all of them surviving, a happy ending, which Zhang Gui would not agree to."

"So the second option, consume four players for a hundred life points in exchange for us passing the game." Bai Liu paused subtly, his face taking on that underwhelming yet calculated smile again, "I know you two were both forced to work with me before, but I'm sure you've seen my determination not to let you die so easily, and you probably don't want to be one of the four players consumed, do you? "

"Maybe we could actually work with each other honestly for a bit?"

Mu Sicheng snorted, "Can't you control us? Why come to talk about cooperation when you can just manipulate it."

"There is a good chance that I will not be able to divide my mind to control you during the rest of the programme." Bai Liu ignored Mu Sicheng's grimace as he made it honestly clear, "You can leave now if you don't want to work with me, if of course you feel you won't be targeted by the Puppeteer alone as a target to be consumed for shards."

After Bai Liu had finished, a strange silence fell between the three men, the only sounds to be heard were the wind whistling through the train, the slight rocking and crashing of the train and the near-absence of the three men's previous breathing.

Even Bai Liu's use of the slightly more euphemistic term [consumed] could not hide the bloody implications that were about to permeate the game.

It was a long time before Mu Sicheng spoke with a blank expression: "Tell me about your specific proposal."

Du Sanying bites his lower lip as he still hesitates.

His luck value will keep him from being so unlucky as to be one of the [four expendable players], but following Bai Liu, the man's behaviour is so gamey that it repels Du Sanying somewhat subconsciously.

He also has a mixed feeling of misfortune and good fortune, which makes Du Sanying wonder whether he should follow Bai Liu or not, especially since he has already been screwed by him once before ......

Bai Liu seemed to pick up on Du Sanying's thoughts as he tilted his head over and suddenly laughed, " Du Sanying, you didn't think that if you didn't cooperate with us, the Puppeteer would pretend he didn't see you and let you off the hook, and then you'd be lucky enough to get through after the Puppeteer, did you?"

Du Sanying was struck by the comment and muttered a bewildered look.

"First of all, it takes 4 players to pass the game, even if the puppeteer kills me and Mu Sicheng, it's not enough, who do you think the puppeteer will choose before sacrificing his puppet player or killing you?" Bai Liu lifted his eyes and gave a smirking look at Du Sanying who was blushing, "And, I think the puppet master will kill you first."

The back of Du Sanying's neck exploded at Bai Liu's shocking shout, "Why me! He's the one who has more of a grudge against you guys!"

"Wrong." Bai Liu wagged his index finger in a 'no' gesture as he smiled, "Mu Sicheng and I are worth a lot more to the Puppeteer than you are."

"One of the reasons he came into this game was to capture me and Mu Sicheng as puppets, and you are useless to him, and your 100% luck is still one of the biggest obstacles to the Puppeteer getting through this game, if I were the Puppeteer I would sacrifice you Du Sanying first if I had a choice, then take control of me and Mu Sicheng, and sacrifice three of my own inconsequential puppets at random after turning me and Mu Sicheng into his puppets."

"-and then, having achieved everything, the puppeteer passes with a full load." Bai Liu smiled affably, "What do you think Du Sanying ?"

Du Sanying is silent for a long, long time, his head bowed, his lips trembling, his fingers curled as if he is thinking about Bai Liu's words.

Mu Sicheng, after glancing at the terrified Du Sanying, turns his head to look at Bai Liu with a look of resignation and a deep, hidden darkness in his eyes.

How familiar is this statement Mu Sicheng made to Du Sanying by Bai Liu - it's the exact same fucking statement that was given to Bai Liu at the beginning before he got on the underground for that collaboration!

-- first set up a common enemy for you and him, then through various assumptions to drive you into a desperate situation, so that you see through his assumptions that if you do not cooperate with him, you will be self-destructive, and finally appropriate show of weakness and goodwill, so that you can see his sincerity and goodwill towards you, and eventually pull you into the same camp with him.

[We're all locked in by the Puppeteer]

[Have you thought about what would happen if he took control of me? Then you'd have five opponents.

[You don't want to go up against this type of group attacker alone, do you?

[I will not let you die, Mu Sicheng, you have to trust me, you are my most valuable card]

The tone of his voice is sincere and gentle, his eyes are flawless and simple, almost the ultimate in showing weakness and kindness, he looks like a human being, but damn, he's a heartless animal when it comes to using people! This guy is a salesman in the real world, right?

Mu Sicheng closed his eyes and recalled the whole time he had fallen into Bai Liu's plan, gritting his teeth and thinking that this guy had really been setting the game up from the very beginning!

Bai Liu has now completely tied him and Du Sanying to his own ship. From now on, the three of them are in the same boat, and they will try their best to cooperate with Bai Liu for their own survival, just like they just fought the [theft war] with their passengers. Bai Liu has cut off all their back routes.

The only way left is for him to use it.

A lamb like Du Sanying, who only has luck value, is not enough for Bai Liu to play with.

Du Sanying finally looked up at Bai Liu with a wince, and he stumbled over his words, "Bai, Bai Liu, so what's your plan?"
