Chapter 509: Qiao Mu Private High School

In the classroom.

Mu Sicheng is still sleeping in the back row as Bai Liu turns to the last page of his sketchbook.

The last page shows a little man sitting alone by a flower bed, holding two ice creams. The little man looks down at the spot where the puppy string appeared in the first place, as if waiting for the puppy string to reappear and say he wants to eat the ice cream in his hand.

And this time, he'll give it.

Bai Liu closes his sketchbook, his expression still calm.

He had no memory of it, and everything he remembered about Spades had been deliberately scrubbed away, as if nothing had been left of it - just like his memories of Xie Ta before.

It is not difficult to guess that this memory has also been folded.

Bai six did the usual, dropping [Anchor] around him to lure him into the game, although in the end, he did get in.

-- also went as far as the challenge.

"Squeak-"

The door to the classroom is thrown open and Mu Sicheng, sleeping in the back row, jolts awake with alarm.

"Wait." Bai Liu said in a calm tone, "The man who brought us up the mountain is here."

The figure came up to Bai Liu, a red-eyed Bao Kangle, who stared at him with a sinister gaze: "Don't you like horror games? Then do you dare to bet with me?"

Bai Liu obediently took over, "What's the bet?"

"Jump off the Gaucho Lake, do all the questions and come back up." Bao Kangle said, "Whoever finishes first wins."

"Those who win can ......"

Bao Kangle was racking his brain for a reward when he saw Bai Liu stand up gently, "Okay, let's go."

Bao Kangle was stunned: "You agree?"

"I've already agreed to this once." Bai Liu smiled, "There's no point in wasting time, let's go."

The hill is next to the Gaucho Lake.

Lu Yizhan stands quietly beside the lake with his heavy sword in one hand, staring down at himself in the lake.

Lu Yizhan's face is blurred by the rippling water in the lake, and his face is covered in bruises, but he looks very still, as if he has been thinking about many things, but also as if he has been thinking about nothing.

His thoughts went back six years, to the time when Bai Liu disappeared in his senior year.

Lu Yizhan went to see Cen Buming once during that time.

"Lu Yizhan, what do you think I am?" Cen Buming sneered, "The most I can do for Bai Liu's regression is not to interfere with him in reality, you want me to help him with Qiao Mu Private High School, you want me to use my power to help convince this school to keep Bai Liu in school- "

He looked cold and sarcastic: "I'm not as magnanimous as you are, and I'm still so gung-ho about Bai six's derivatives ......"

Cen Buming's cursing words swirled on his tongue as he looked at Lu Yizhan, who was bowing her head in front of him as if admitting her mistake, and swallowed the expletive anyway, as he chilled out, "I can't do it, you can go."

"I couldn't quite make it." Lu Yizhan, who had his head down, suddenly spoke up, "I wouldn't be able to help but doubt him."

Cen Buming, who was about to turn away, paused and turned back, his eyes narrowing, "What do you mean?"

"Rationally I knew he was an innocent man, but emotionally I couldn't help but put him in ...... first" Lu Yizhan took a deep breath and he lifted his head with a helpless and bitter smile on his face, "I was also quite conflicted."

"I am over-controlling his actions and inhibiting his development in order to keep him from hurting others, a move that is certainly exploiting his freedom and leaving him with no ability to fight back against other harm in his environment, and I am questioning myself, is this the right choice, is it fair?"

Lu Yizhan let out a long sigh as he leaned his head back against the wall of the Heretics Authority corridor, staring up at the ceiling with a slightly vacant look in his eyes.

"If he's an innocent man, I'm sacrificing him by doing so."

"If he's not, I'm raising a tiger by doing so."

"Sometimes I wonder what the right choice is."

Cen Buming frowned and opened his mouth to scold, Lu Yizhan raised his hands in bitter surrender as if he knew he was going to scold: "Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say about me, indecisive, once I started to choose between the two, I fell into the game Bai six had set up for me. "

Lu Yizhan smiled slowly, "I've been thinking for a long time about whether there's a way to do both, and I finally came up with one."

"I'm ready to let go and let Bai Liu develop on her own."

Cen Buming was stunned, his brow furrowed: "What do you want?"

"After high school, I won't interfere too much in his life and let him handle his life the way he wants to." Lu Yizhan looks up as he looks directly at Cen Buming, "If he ever crosses the line, I'll be the first to kill him."

"But if he hadn't, he would have been perfectly free to live his life as a normal person."

"For this reason, I will relax my supervision of Bai Liu." Lu Yizhan's face became steady, "but at the same time, I will be prepared for other back-ups."

"If Bai Liu ever chooses to enter the game on his own, to prevent him from crossing the line in the game, I need a presence in the game that can stop him."

Lu Yizhan raised his eyes: " Cen Buming, I'm joining your guild."

"I would bet my life that Bai Liu stays inside the safety line and doesn't let him win to the end, step into the temple and meet Bai six."

"But for now." Lu Yizhan suddenly smiled nervously and scratched his head, "In order for Bai Liu to graduate, senior brother, just help me talk to Qiao Mu Private High School and tell them to fill in the lake and cancel the hill in the name of taking in heretics, and check out the headmaster and the player teachers in the process."

Cen Buming: "......"

It turned out to be a long detour or here waiting for him.

Cen Buming eventually agreed, which is why the matter of Qiao Mu Private High School was handled so easily later on, and the GCE lake was filled.

After that, Lu Yizhan never thought he would see Gao Kao Lake a second time.

I didn't expect to meet Bai Liu for the second time here at Gao Kao Lake either.

Lu Yizhan's footsteps sounded behind him and he turned his head with a clear, familiar smile on his face: "There you are."

Bai Liu stood three or four metres away from Lu Yizhan, his face expressionless as he looked across at him: "You should have guessed I would come."

Lu Yizhan glanced behind Bai Liu: " Where's Bao Kangle? He brought you up here, didn't he? Where is he?"

"He was knocked out by Mu Sicheng and left at the gate after opening the door." Bai Liu's tone was light, "That's all he's good for, after all, isn't it me and you who are in charge today?"

No sooner had he said that than Mu Sicheng came out from behind Bai Liu, claws raised high, and darted close to Lu Yizhan, his claws going straight for his throat.

Lu Yizhan quickly brought up his heavy sword to block and retreat, and the next moment Bai Liu appeared behind him with his dagger.

Bai Liu placed one foot on Lu Yizhan's shoulder and pulled him backwards by the back of his neck with his left hand, while the dagger held in his right hand slashed diagonally upwards through Lu Yizhan's neck, drawing a line of blood.

Ornamental pool.

The host immediately shouted excitedly, "This is a typical thief and assassin match play! The thief draws attention, the assassin steals the attack!"

"Pretty good match! The Reverse God dropped three points of blood, and he's down to twelve!"

"Another match! Nice! With only ten points of blood left in the Reverse God, the situation is pretty bad for the killer sequence!"

Liu Jiayi looks at Bai Liu on the big screen and his eyes waver for a moment - this was the way Mu Sicheng and Liu Huai worked best together back then.

"Now let's see how the Reverse God will strike back, the Reverse God has struck back! He raises his heavy sword and draws a line to Mu Sicheng's left, it misses, is it a serious injury that is affecting his play?" The host stares at the big screen, his lips quickly turning into a dumbfounded o shape, "Wait, everyone, look, what skill is that?!"

" The space at Mu Sicheng's lower left foot has distorted and a gap in space has appeared, isn't this a gap in space that only Spades' whip can tear out? How did the Reverse God's heavy sword swing out too!"

In-game.

Lu Yizhan looked stoic as he simply ignored the constant attacks on himself, but pulled his heavy sword towards the gap, tearing the opening even wider, creating a regular rift like origami ripping and breaking.

[System Alert: Player Reverse God uses personal skill (world line overlap)]

[Note: This skill can only be used once per game, so please choose your timing carefully].

Lu Yizhan slashed to the left and the gap widened instantly, Mu Sicheng inadvertently stepped into it, Lu Yizhan instantly flipped and pressed down his sword, folding the twisted space above him like a doughnut and quickly folded the stunned Mu Sicheng into it, and swung his heavy sword twice to slap it into place.

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng has actively migrated out of the game map due to spatial folding, and is considered to be playing negatively, so he will be treated as quitting the game].

Mu Sicheng, who inexplicably appeared in the audience, was full of: "????"

What the hell is going on? Why did he quit the game?

After a brief period of calm, the crowd pool erupted in applause, startling Mu Sicheng who had exited the game.

The host followed up with an excited commentary, "It's a rule skill! In addition to the Prophecy skill on the Reverse God, there is actually a Space level Rule skill hidden on him!"

"Two rules skills!"

"I swear I've never seen the Reverse God use this skill in any of his matches since he joined the league, it's likely that this skill is not his original skill but was passed on to him by someone else before he died, but we know nothing about the player who passed it on to him."

"This is just bizarre!"

The host became more and more excited as he spoke, "This skill must have been available to the Reverse God before this season, but from the mid-season play until now, the Reverse God has played a round against thirty-one strong teams, and Bai Liu is the only player who forced him to use this skill."

"This showdown is getting interesting!"

On the big screen, Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan stand on the casting platforms on either side of the lake, the wind blowing silently between them, a leaf falling in the middle of the lake, haloing the moon in the water, the ground around them a mess of heavy swords and knives, the ground covered with staggered and deep slash marks.

"Is that why you tried to protect Mu Sicheng from the game even though you were fighting to the death before?" Lu Yizhan looked across at Bai Liu, the wound on his neck was still dripping blood, but his face wore a helpless smile, "I saved you last time, so you found out that I still had such a killer trick left to dispatch people from the game randomly."

"Leave a team member who can use that team member to consume this skill of mine."

"You've done a lot of setting up against me, though."

Bai Liu replied lightly, "Pretty much the same as the setup you did against me."

The moon has finally turned in the middle of the dark blue sky and Lu Yizhan and Bai Liu look up at each other on the lake at the same time.

Lu Yizhan, bruised and battered at eighteen, and Bai Liu, hurt and battered at eighteen, stand on opposite sides of the Gao Kao Lake in their ragged school uniforms cut by each other, the hems of their clothes blown by the night wind, facing each other calmly.

The bright moon tilted down from the top and fell on the lake in a dark silvery blue, like one of the eyes of a god watching with a smile on his face.

Bai Liu looks impartially at Lu Yizhan.

Lu Yizhan was quiet for a moment, and he suddenly smiled with relief, his eyebrows arched: " Bai Liu, did I mention that you are quite different from when you were eighteen?"

-- even if it is the same appearance, the same attire, the same standing by the lake.

But Bai Liu is no longer single, his gaze is calm as he gazes at Lu Yizhan, clearly standing alone, but as if there are many people standing behind him, with an aggression that never backs off.

"You've grown up." Lu Yizhan took a deep breath as he held his heavy sword against his side, then lowered his eyes to look at his still-young self in the lake and murmured, "...... I'm old."

--There was no one left behind me.

People grow up because they have something to fall back on, and they grow old because they have nothing to fall back on.

The deep yellow moon cascades away and a set of tables and chairs appears in the lake as the final map of the Gaucho Lake opens up.

Lu Yizhan and Bai Liu jumped at the same time.

The moment they fell into the water, they raised their heavy swords and whips in their hands at the same time and rushed towards each other without hesitation or hesitation.

Shrine.

Bai six looked with amusement at Lu Yizhan, whose stone had congealed across the room until only one right hand and half of his face remained: "Are you really going to do this?"

"Do that and you won't have a way back."

Lu Yizhan slowly lifted his head, and as he did so, stone chips continued to fall from him onto the table, and he looked straight across at Bai Liu and replied hoarsely.

"I'm going to do that."

Bai six lowered his eyes, and with a scattered stroke on the stone table he brought up a scene of Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan fighting fiercely underwater, and he curled his mouth with some amusement, "He doesn't look like he's going to hold back on you."

"Are you really going to bet against me this time?"

Bai six looked up with a smile, "Are you sure you want to delegate your last God Zhang card, the Prophet, which is your own card, to Bai Liu?"

Lu Yizhan pushed a Prophet card, very slowly, very slowly, onto the table with the palm of the hand that was still petrified: "I'm sure."

"Good then." Bai six folded his hands under his jaw and he smiled, "I'll define the bet a little more."

"You said that no matter how much Bai Liu desires victory, he will not be manipulated by his desire to do something illegal and criminal in this copy-"

"- In short, that means that no matter how much Bai Liu wants to win, he will never kill you in this copy without a get-out-of-jail-free card, right?"

Lu Yizhan stared straight at Bai six: "Yes."

Go back in time to before you start your copy.

Lu Yizhan pulled the Duke of Zhou aside, took off his own death-free gold medal that was hanging around his neck and hung it around his neck, "I give you my death-free gold medal."

The Duke of Zhou's pupils quaked as he held up the death-free medal with open eyes, "Captain?!"

"Why is your immunity from death handed over?!"

A normal death warrant cannot be handed over, transferred or borrowed, but can only be used by the person who has received it.

"Because I made a bet with the evil god." Lu Yizhan spoke in a calm tone, "I told him that Bai Liu wouldn't kill me if I didn't have a death-free gold medal, and he didn't think so, so he secretly changed the rules for me and allowed the handover of my death-free gold medal for this one tournament."

"Listen up, Zhou Tianhua, when you come on you go straight to hold Bai Liu, because Bai Liu doesn't know you have my immunity card, he won't kill you at first because he won't kill innocent people in the game, but he will have many ways to get you out of the game, like getting your soul note. "

Zhou Tianhua shivered and his face instantly turned bitter: "I can't protect myself from him, Captain, he's got too many tricks up his sleeve and he's bought Captain Tang, in case he buys my soul notes too."

"That's what I want to talk to you about." Lu Yizhan spoke in a hushed tone, "In due course, you show him your get-out-of-jail-free card straight away and Bai Liu will just do it to save time and clear you out, rather than choosing to waste time buying your soul note."

"Your notes are not worth much to him."

Zhou Tianhua: "...... Oh QAQ."

It's a good thing, but it doesn't sound happy.jpg

"But Captain, if you give me the gold medal, won't you have no more immunity from death?" Zhou Tianhua got worried.

"Don't tell anyone." Lu Yizhan paused, "And don't let Bai Liu at the beginning see the light and say that your gold medal was handed over from Spades who withdrew."

Zhou Tianhua became even more worried at his words, "Captain, what are you going to do?"

"Bai Liu will kill you if you go on the field like that, Captain!"

[Lu Yizhan, Bai Liu will kill you!

Lu Yizhan was in a trance for a moment when he heard those words - Cen Buming had done the same, with red eyes and vicious curses, when he had quit the Deer Hunter's Guild over a year ago.

"Lu Yizhan, what the hell are you doing?!" Cen Buming was furious as never before, he practically pinned Lu Yizhan to the ground, the Death Ring leaving scrape after scrape on the unresisting Lu Yizhan's face, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse as a wild animal growling, "Do you know what you just said! "

Lu Yizhan licked the blood from the corner of his own mouth as he turned his head, looking and sounding calm as he repeated his words again, "I said, I will devolve my God sign to Bai Liu ."

"I will sell my soul to him."

"I want him to take over from me and become the next generation of prophets."

Cen Buming's chest rose and fell violently as he looked at Lu Yizhan with an almost murderous look in his eyes: " Lu Yizhan, so you've finally gone mad, have you?"

"What do you think the preparation we trained day and night for all these years in the game to kill Bai Liu, is!"

"What do you take me for, when every second team member of the Deer Hunters who has been loyal to you and rushed for you!"

"I'm sorry." Lu Yizhan's tone was still calm, "Prophet authority goes to Bai Liu, the only option with a chance of winning."

"The prophet handed to the werewolf as the only possible option to win?" Cen Buming's eyes darkened to the point where not a single ray of light could be cast, "You mean the option of the werewolf winning?"

Lu Yizhan calmly explained: "We can't win against Bai six, he's too strong, but Bai Liu is possible, as long as he is on our side and continues to play against Bai six as our prophet, the game will never be won or lost, it will never end."

"This world line will always continue as well."

"That's a win?" Cen Buming almost sneered out loud.

"It doesn't count." Lu Yizhan closes his eyes as he says very softly, "But it doesn't count as losing."

"That's the only way I can think of."

" Bai Liu has been quite mentally stable over the years, he grew up in a peaceful environment, not so extreme in his pursuit of profit and crime, and apart from one or two strong fluctuations in desire, I don't even see the possibility of him getting into the game anymore."

"I'm sure Bai Liu wouldn't have gotten into the game if Bai six hadn't had his anchor in hand."

Cen Buming slowly releases the hand from Lu Yizhan's collar. Lu Yizhan props himself up against the wall and staggers to his feet, limping out the door.

As he walked past Cen Buming, Lu Yizhan paused, bowed his head and said sorry, then headed outside.

"Brother." Cen Buming behind him suddenly called out to him, "Have you ever thought about how badly Bai Liu would die if he really was a werewolf and sold his soul to a werewolf prophet."

"He's my last friend." Lu Yizhan propped himself up against the wall, "I'm sure he won't kill me."

"Where the hell does this belief come from?" Cen Buming asks back, almost through gritted teeth

Lu Yizhan paused for a moment as he bullheadedly replied, "A long time ago, I asked Fang Dian how to win all the time in the game."

" Fang Dian and I said, "Cheating."

"I said the other guy is someone I can't win no matter what, someone who can't win even by cheating, how am I going to win him?"

" Fang Dian and I said, "Then it's just a matter of cheating off the field so he has no way to beat you."

"I asked her what it meant to cheat off the field, and she replied with a smile, saying, "I cheat off the field with you and Bai Liu, and Bai Liu cheats off the field with you too."

"Because you couldn't let the two of us lose hard, you would deliberately let us win every time every time, and you let this go for ten years, and if you were going to win anyone, you just let them become unable to win you - it's kind of a way to cheat using emotional trust. "

"I said Bai Liu wouldn't let me win, he's very competitive, and Fang Dian smiled and said no."

"-and the day he grows up, he'll know to let you."

Lu Yizhan looks back at Cen Buming and he smiles: "I think this day will come."

In the viewing pool, on the big splash screen, Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan are fighting fiercely, whips and heavy swords swinging at each other, barely visible, only the life levels of both sides dropping.

The host watched in a cold sweat, "The Reverse God has only five life points! There's a good chance he'll be cleared out in one slash!"

"Is this where the playoffs for the killer sequence are going to stop and we'll have to start all over again next year?!"

Zhou Tianhua looked pale - this wasn't a question of stopping there, there was no immunity for the captain, dead was dead and there was no such thing as coming back next year!

Shrine.

Bai six smiled as he looked at the scene on the screen, "If Bai Liu finds out that you don't have a death warrant when you only have a little life left, then if Bai Liu is quick, you'll be dead, are you really sure you want to bet against me?"

"In all the times you've bet against me, you've never won a bet yet oh prophet."

Lu Yizhan didn't answer him, he just held down the God Zhang card under his hand and watched Bai Liu, whose eyes didn't waver, attack him on the screen, his breathing slowly becoming rapid.

What the hell were you thinking, Bai Liu ?

What kind of a child are you, Bai Liu?

Are you ...... going to kill me or not.

Bai Liu.

Lu Yizhan closed his eyes whose eyelids had turned to stone, while on the screen, Bai Liu turned his whip into a knife and stabbed Lu Yizhan in the heart of the game.

[System Alert: Player Reverse God's life value reduced to 1!

[Warning! Warning! No Exemptions to wear, player is about to die!

[Player Reverse God is about to quit the game].

In the game, Bai Liu heard the system beep, his pupils fluttered slightly and then he reacted instantly - he had been set upon by Lu Yizhan!

This guy broke the rules and moved the death-exemption medal out! The Spades-marked medallion of Zhou Gong is not Spades', but Lu Yizhan's.

The Lu Yizhan in the water jerked his head up, his teeth gritted and his eyes red as he stared at Bai Liu with a mixture of despair, grimness and sadness, he raised his heavy sword high and drove it with all his might into the heart of Bai Liu who was briefly disoriented.

[System Alert: Player Reverse God uses the monster book identity "Reverse God's Judge" - using the highest level Judgement skill -

[- Judgement of the Evil One.]

The heavy sword exploded with a violent white light and Bai Liu's life dropped at an almost throbbing rate.

Lu Yizhan's hand with the heavy sword pushed into Bai Liu's heart, piercing out and pinning him under the water, the two men could almost see each other's eyes clearly, so close and with Bai Liu still holding the dagger in his hand, it was enough for him to attack again.

With one more attack, Lu Yizhan's life level will be zero and he will ...... die.

That's the end of the game.

Bai Liu's eyes are lax as he looks at Lu Yizhan, who is pushing his heavy sword to the bottom, and his thoughts scatter uncontrollably.

...... It seems to have been the same bottom of the lake when Lu Yizhan rescued the fourteen-year-old who was trying to grab Xie Ta's hand.

Helped the eighteen year old down the side of the Gaucho Lake.

pulled the twenty-four-year-old out of the watery dungeon of the Heretic Authority.

Only this time, it was to push him into the water.

Do I kill him?

Bai Liu's face was emotionless as he looked at Lu Yizhan's bloodless face, blood exploded from Bai Liu's heart and instantly filled the entire lake.

He never understood why Lu Yizhan wanted to save him.

Now it's not clear why he was stopped like that.

Lu Yizhan has been doing things he doesn't understand, teaching him things he doesn't understand, letting him live like a normal person in a world he doesn't understand at all, stopping him from hurting others and stopping others from hurting him.

So why?

Why do you need to do this?

Why is it that when it is clear that you are the one who is coming to kill me, your own hand is shaking so hard holding the heavy sword, and your eyes are so red, as if you are killing the person you least want to kill?

Bai Liu loosened the dagger in his hand.

Lu Yizhan opened his eyes as he pushed the God card down on the table, pushing it next to the Werewolf card and looked up at Bai six across the table: "I bet!"

"I bet he'll become the next generation of prophets and win you!"

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has zero life, exit the game].
