Chapter 50: Explosive Last Train

This is a warning given by the system to Bai Liu when he was given the [Old Wallet], to restrain him from abusing this skill.

It is a restrictive measure to go to Bai Liu's trustworthiness, just like Taobao merchants' [small dark room], but it is thought to be used by Bai Liu to pit the trading objects.

For a man like Zhang Gui, who likes to set things up and thinks he's clever, there's no better plan than to go along with his plan, to lower his guard in the sense of achievement that his prey is falling into his trap step by step, before Bai Liu can seek a breakthrough.

Bai Liu thought with downcast eyes.

But Mu Sicheng was in trouble, he had only just learnt that Mu Sicheng had a love-hate relationship with Liu Huai, and that Zhang Gui had brought Liu Huai up here. For a human being like Mu Sicheng, who has normal emotions and desires, the effect of the hallucination of a friend who has betrayed him is incalculable.

Mu Sicheng's whole persona is not quite right when he talks about Liu Huai.

Bai Liu learns that most people in this game have a mental capacity of around 70, 60 is dangerous enough and anyone under 20 who can come out of the game without going crazy is a person of extreme mental strength, but Bai Liu also needs Mu Sicheng's mental capacity to be lowered even further. 18, when the hallucinations and psychological effects on Mu Sicheng would only get worse.

With Liu Huai as the triggering factor, Mu Sicheng is expected to have serious problems.

It's a bit hard to do.

[The train has arrived at the Yellow Springs Road - please board the train first and then disembark, entering in order]

Zhang Gui's index and middle fingers moved like a piano, tugging on the transparent threads in his hands, and Bai Liu was instantly pulled behind him. "

"I know you won't be very willing, you might just be pretending to surrender to me, you might have other plans with Mu Sicheng." The corners of Zhang Gui's mouth slowly rose as if he was putting Bai Liu in chains, dropping that heavy, huge, stuffy puppet hood.

Bai Liu's face is slowly enveloped by the puppet's hood, and he looks up at Zhang Gui. The last expression Bai Liu sees before the hood falls is one of malice and certainty, his eyelids drooping, his eyes so arrogant that he seems to have everything under control.

Zhang Gui's tone was hoarse and low, "But Bai Liu, you must have overlooked Liu Huai's influence on Mu Sicheng, with Liu Huai around, there's no way Mu Sicheng can stay awake and firm with you, no matter how many backstops you have, as long as Mu Sicheng falls apart here --"

Zhang Gui gave a stifled laugh and said maliciously, "- Mu Sicheng is the most valuable card in your hand, as soon as he collapses, your plan will completely collapse."

Bai Liu's face is still, but his heart is racing.

In a way, Zhang Gui is right, Mu Sicheng is indeed the most important part of this project.

[Mermaid's amulet] on Mu Sicheng.

If Mu Sicheng completely collapses and loses his resistance and Zhang Gui gets this [Mermaid's Amulet] and the deal is done, then everyone will end up together, and before Bai Liu thought about cheating and just letting Mu Sicheng use this prop, but-

[System Tip: During the trading period, the item to be traded, i.e. (the amulet of the mermaid) must exist, otherwise the trade is considered invalid]

If Mu Sicheng is pushed into a corner during this period, or if he doesn't want to listen to Bai Liu and uses the amulet, Bai Liu will also be finished and become Zhang Gui's puppet.

So Mu Sicheng is a pretty important part of Bai Liu's plan, and if this guy falls apart, then Bai Liu's side is pretty high risk.

Bai Liu is gambling, and it's a big gamble, with only one Mu Sicheng chip on the table, an extremely volatile one, and his chances of winning don't look very good at the moment, but Bai Liu has actually thought about using Du Sanying, but Du Sanying is a completely intuitive animal, like a sharp rodent. Du Sanying might have thrown the sculpture at Zhang Gui to reduce the danger to himself, just as he did when he sensed the danger and ran away from the car.

Du Sanying is very unstable, and with Bai Liu under the control of the Puppeteer, he cannot remotely control Du Sanying, which is far less worthy than Mu Sicheng, who has a vendetta against [the Puppeteer] and has a strong stance.

So, in the end, Bai Liu chose Mu Sicheng.

The doors finally opened slowly, and countless charred [passenger] bodies wailed and burned as they poured into the carriage. Zhang Gui moved neatly, manoeuvring the two golems forward to grab the pieces, not using Bai Liu, which he seemed to know had a very low life expectancy and could easily be killed by casual use.

Zhang Gui's hand was so fast that in almost ten seconds the two puppets ghostly crossed a carriage and presented Zhang Gui with a pile of shattered lenses in their burnt hands, which Zhang Gui took without looking, his face sinking: "Go, clear the next carriage."

Zhang Gui was safe here, but the two golems were moving very fast and Zhang Gui was so precise that he did very little extra damage, clearing one and then hanging on to the golem that followed behind to the next carriage, sweeping through half the car in less than a minute.

Bai Liu had a tough time with the three of them before, mainly because there was only one player with A panel attribute, Mu Sicheng, but now there are three A-ranked players, Zhang Gui is still a super A. In between manipulating the golem, he can still spare time to clear the [passengers], making it easier for his golem to get the lenses, and Bai Liu, a small weakling who can't get a whip to hit him, is not at all on the same level. It's not on the same level as Bai Liu, a weakling who can't take a single whip.

Mu Sicheng told Bai Liu that Zhang Gui's personal skills, as far as he knew, were mainly two, the first one was called [Puppet with Thread], which means manipulating the puppet and implanting puppet silk, but the puppet was self-aware, only the limbs were controlled by Zhang Gui.

This is why Zhang Gui says that he prefers active and voluntary puppets, and that the puppets he uses most often are hired voluntary puppets, as involuntary ones, such as Mu Sicheng, take a lot of effort for Zhang Gui to control the implanted puppet wire.

The second skill is called (Puppet Enhancement), this stage comes at the expense of the puppet's fifty mental points, the puppet has no autonomous consciousness but its panel attributes are doubled.

The puppets at this stage are much more difficult to control, as they enter the [Mental Value Danger Zone], so the puppets themselves will be in pain and sometimes struggle unconsciously, but because they are unconscious, they will hardly be afraid of any attacks and will be very strong in battle, and as long as the puppeteer does not stop the silk threads in his hands, they will not stop attacking no matter how much pain they are in.

However, Mu Sicheng tells Bai Liu that this skill cannot be used on puppet players with a spirit level below 20, as players at this stage have already entered a berserk state and the puppeteer is completely unable to manipulate them.

"No one in this game has ever tried to control a player with a spirit value below 20, not even Zhang Gui could do it." Mu Sicheng squinted at Bai Liu, "Except for you Bai Liu, you actually tried to make a me with a spirit value of 10 remember the planned mission you gave me, that's completely impossible."

Bai Liu just smiled and said, "How will we know if we don't try, there's nothing else we can do, is there?"

As Bai Liu pondered something, the female voice of the radio in the carriage rang out in a rare moment.

"Due to heavy passengers and special items boarding the train at this station, the stopping time has been extended to five minutes to protect the safety of the passengers and their belongings, so please keep your passengers on board calm and away from the doors -"

A huge charred black corpse, several times the size of the average passenger, propped open the door with two huge, still burning hands and squeezed in with his head down.

Both eyes were burnt out, the sockets black with carbon marks from the burning, the skin of this big corpse was burnt out, his whole body was covered with bare bloody muscles, there was a hexagonal shattered lens the size of a palm on his chest, like a heart guard embedded in his bright red bleeding pectoral muscles, glistening in the flames, he stood up taller than the carriage, his neck was crooked and forced into the carriage, he was about to put the carriage through.

The big crooked-necked corpse seemed to feel unhappy and roared as he slammed his fist into the roof of the car, which broke right through a big gaping hole, flames coming out of the big corpse and filling the whole carriage with a loud popping sound.

Zhang Gui's face darkened as he flew backwards into another carriage. He pulled his fingers together and the two puppets were sucked into his hand as if they were zombies with their limbs straightening out.

[System Alert: Players Zhang Gui, Bai Liu, Fang Ke, Li Gou have been attacked by the monster's flames and have -10 Life, Player Zhang Gui, Player Bai Liu have -20 Spirit, Player Fang Ke, Player Li Gou have -9 Spirit due to being in a puppet state].

Bai Liu choked and coughed from the burn, blood slowly dripping from the corners of his mouth as his face, hidden in his puppet hood, grew paler and paler as he scanned his personal attributes panel:.

[Life: 11 (Drops after being attacked by player Mu Sicheng and after being burned by flames)]

[Stamina value: 70 (in the process of recovery)]

[Mental Value: 69 (mildly alienated by monster attack)]

Bai Liu took another quick glance at the monster book.

[Explosive Last Train Monster Book Refresh - Brotherhood of Thieves (2/3)]

[Monster Name: Thief Brothers (Brother)

[Characteristics: Extremely strong and tall, extremely fast movement, can use a wide range of attacks within a minute (1400 points of movement speed, fire has a bonus effect, likes to use fists to make the opponent listen when angry, extremely powerful attack)]

[Weakness: ????? (to be explored)]

[Attacks: Rage Hammer, Flame Blast (for player Bai Liu, you can go to God if you take either of these two attacks at the moment, amen)]

Bai Liu Liu licked away the blood stain spilling from the corner of his mouth and said in a broken, muffled voice, "...... That big broken lens in this creature's heart should be his weakness and what we need to collect."

"I want you to talk!" Zhang Gui interrupted Bai Liu with a grimace, looking warily at the thief who was approaching him step by step, his fingers danced rapidly as he lined up his golem and gritted his teeth, "This shitty game, stopping the station for five minutes, not only prolonged the chase, but gave us a big boss... ..."

The mortality rate on the second level of Explosive Last Train should be very close to eighty percent, and even he would have a hard time trying to pass with any certainty.

Zhang Gui's back teeth were clenched tightly and he couldn't resist cursing, "You're really good at picking, Bai Liu! You've picked the most difficult game in Level 2 in one go!"

"I appreciate the compliment." Bai Liu spoke in a lazy, deadpan tone, "Aren't you going to try and grab the broken lens from this monster's heart?"

"Try my ass!" Zhang Gui spat out his mouth one after another, he was really in a state of mind, "Looking at the attack and the movement speed of 1,400, this monster's level is at least A-rank, my two golems are just giving away food, I can't even grab it! Even if I came to this copy with six puppets full of blood and encountered something like this, I can't even guarantee that I would be able to clear it! If only I had known there were such things in this game ......"

Zhang Gui grinds his teeth together as he speaks and retreats, resentful - if he'd known this copy was this shit, he wouldn't have followed it in so easily!

Zhang Gui has never seen a level 2 game so ridiculously difficult! Bai Liu, this guy picked the hardest one Zhang Gui has ever seen in one shot!

--Fucking hell, that's a 0 luck value!

"No." Zhang Gui He pulled the two golems in front of himself and quickly calmed down, "My golems can't beat it, this thing is probably only manageable by a berserk Mu Sicheng in this copy, but he's not far from death if he can handle this thing- "

"I can handle it in a rage, can't I?" Bai Liu asks, his gaze calmly diverting Zhang Gui's thoughts.

For Bai Liu, Mu Sicheng cannot die, the [Mermaid's Amulet] is on him, if Mu Sicheng dies the [Mermaid's Amulet] will be exploded, if Zhang Gui gets it then Bai Liu's side will really become Zhang Gui's puppet.

"Indeed." Zhang Gui's eyes narrowed as he grunted, "But you only have a dozen life points now, even in your berserker state, one attack from this thing and you'd almost be dead. has never been subservient to me--"

Zhang Gui sneered and gathered all the puppet silk, Bai Liu and the other two puppets stood behind Zhang Gui in unison, "Then he can go to hell-!"

[System Alert: Player Zhang Gui has used the prop (Good to see you) on player Liu Huai and will move to player Liu Huai's current location within ten seconds].

Bai Liu felt a dizziness in front of him and when he looked up again, he saw Liu Huai, Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, who were also collecting broken lenses in the other compartment.

These three were playing in tandem and were struggling and struggling a bit, but looked to be holding up.

But it was Mu Sicheng who suffered the most. He had no Bai Liu to help him attract the hate, and most of the passengers were heading for him. Although Liu Huai helped Mu Sicheng to block some of them, Mu Sicheng's condition dropped badly, his face was covered in blood, his eyes wavered and flickered red, and he couldn't breathe well.

Zhang Gui's face was cold as he withdrew his hand and pulled the silk thread on his pinky finger.

He saw Zhang Gui, hidden behind a carriage, behind countless bodies and flames.

Zhang Gui pointed at Mu Sicheng with a blank face, then gave him a sharp slash on his neck and said to Liu Huai with his lips, "There's been a change of plan, there's a big boss. Don't worry about life or death."

Liu Huai also heard the announcement and knew what the big boss meant, but when he saw how cleanly Zhang Gui was prepared to give up Mu Sicheng, Liu Huai's heart trembled and his face turned pale.

--This big boss is likely to be very difficult to deal with, and it will probably take a Mu Sicheng in a berserk state to deal with it.

But isn't this a level 2 game? How can there be monsters that require Mu Sicheng to go berserk to death to deal with?

Just as Liu Huai was hesitating, the big corpse raged and bounced all the way over, and everywhere it passed, all the car windows were hammered out, flames whirling, and all those [passengers] were reduced to ashes as they screamed miserably in the [thief's brother's] angry flames, showing how strong the killing power was and how hot it was.

Zhang Gui pulled the three golems forward into the carriage where Mu Sicheng and the others were, and the large corpse behind Zhang Gui startled Du Sanying, who couldn't help but break down and say, "Holy shit! What the fuck is this?!"

Zhang Gui pulled the puppet thread on his little finger tighter and shouted at Liu Huai, " Liu Huai! Do it!!! Or we all die!!!"

Liu Huai's heart was painfully pulled by Zhang Gui's puppet threads, and he gritted his teeth and threw down two swords in his sleeves, one in his left hand and one in his right hand, while Liu Huai, who was standing behind Mu Sicheng, bowed his head and said "Sorry" before stabbing at them without hesitation.

Du Sanying looked on in horror: " Mu Sicheng! Watch your back!!!"

Mu Sicheng had already sensed this and rolled to avoid Liu Huai's back stab. He stood up sharply and wiped the blood dripping from the end of his eyebrow with his elbow, which had been injured by Liu Huai's sword in his sleeve when he was dodging. you? Impossible."

"That's natural." Liu Huai's smile was complex, with a bit of sadness and a bit of ruthlessness as he smiled up, "Fourth Brother, although we were once the best of friends and the best of combinations, [assassins and thieves], we could do anything, we were invincible, we could steal anything, we could assassinate anything, and that certainly includes against each other, doesn't it?"

"We are both doing this for ourselves, Fourth Brother." Liu Huai finally sank completely as he raised his sword in his sleeve, "You have stolen from me for yourself, and I have assassinated you for myself, we are all just selfish and self-serving people."

"Master!!! Grab Mu Sicheng!!!" Liu Huai shouted, and he thrust his sword through without mercy.

Without saying a word, Zhang Gui threw a sharp puppet wire under the ankle of Mu Sicheng, who narrowly avoided it by hooking his hand on the hoop.

Du Sanying was being held back by a puppet and was sweating on his forehead and his face was red with anxiety.

Bai Liu says Mu Sicheng must hold out until the train starts without being held up by Zhang Gui and the others! But how can we possibly hold out like this?

Du Sanying subconsciously looked at Bai Liu, Mu Sicheng was barely able to hold on with the three of them holding him back, but soon the big corpse broke the balance and the thing was about to run into the carriage where Mu Sicheng and the others were. His face was covered in scratches from the puppet silk, and Mu Sicheng's hands were bound by Zhang Gui's puppet silk.

Zhang Gui gasped, " Liu Huai, do it."

Liu Huai gasped and took a step closer to Mu Sicheng, his hands already raised with his sleeve sword.

Mu Sicheng suddenly clutched all the puppet threads on his body with his backhand and said with a tsk, " Bai Liu, if you have any backhand, please use it quickly, I really can't hold on anymore, I am now pulling Zhang Gui's puppet threads for you to control you. But it will only last a moment before my fingers are cut by the thread, but you can move yourself now."

With a jolt of surprise, Zhang Gui looked furiously at Bai Liu, who had somehow managed to get behind Mu Sicheng, and swept back to Mu Sicheng's hands, which were indeed tightly bound with puppet silk, blood dripping from Mu Sicheng's bony hands, hitting the hot floor drop by drop, and quickly steaming up again.

Bai Liu slowly lifts the puppet hood behind Mu Sicheng, an innocent smile on the shell of the puppet ink.

Zhang Gui's face changed.

"Fuck!!! These two guys are really still in alliance! Liu Huai, do it!!! " Zhang Gui tried to manipulate the puppet wire several times, but the manipulation wave could not pass through because it was clutched by Mu Sicheng, and he was indeed unable to control Bai Liu, Zhang Gui's face darkened as he pulled the puppet wire and tried to cut Mu Sicheng's fingers, while shouting "Liu Huai! Hurry!!! Bai Liu has no power of attack now!"

Du Sanying also hissed as if he was grasping the last straw: " Bai Liu! Hurry up!!!"

Liu Huai stabbed him without hesitation, and Mu Sicheng subconsciously looked behind him at Bai Liu, whose puppet hood still had the same innocent smile on it, and opened his hands and slowly placed them against Mu Sicheng's back, giving him a gentle push forward.

Mu Sicheng's pupils snapped shut.

Du Sanying's mouth grew in a trance, Zhang Gui let go of the puppet silk in dismay, and Liu Huai stared blankly at Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng, the blood from his sleeved sword sliding down the tip.

Mu Sicheng's arms were pushed into Liu Huai by Bai Liu, whose sleeved sword pierced Mu Sicheng's shoulders, severing his hands flush.

On the floor landed Mu Sicheng's two hands, smashing silently to the ground.

It was like the last time Liu Huai betrayed him and cut off Mu Sicheng's arms.

But the last time was Liu Huai.

This time it was Bai Liu.

Blood gushes out of the broken shoulder of Mu Sicheng.

"I also think that Master Zhang Gui has a point." Bai Liu in the puppet said in a jarring voice, still smiling on his face, " Mu Sicheng, if you are not sacrificed into the berserk, everyone will die."

"It is no longer useful to work with you, you are too weak to get through." Bai Liu's voice carried a cool, gentle smile, "So I have decided to be my master's puppet wholeheartedly and obey his orders."
