Chapter 52: Bursting Last Train

Zhang Gui did want to kill the bastard on impulse, but as Bai Liu said, he had nothing to gain by killing Bai Liu now!

Because Bai Liu's personal skill is already activated, it will not be aborted whether Zhang Gui kills him or not, and killing Bai Liu will cost Zhang Gui the clever puppet he has managed to get his hands on, Bai Liu.

The first order of business now is to get the amulet of the mermaid, then suspend Bai Liu's personal skills, after which Zhang Gui can abuse the damned Bai Liu in a hundred different ways to vent his anger at being teased.

But the cost of killing Bai Liu was too high, he had gone to such lengths to capture a golem with such a high intelligence value, it would not be in Zhang Gui's interest to kill it without sucking it up at all.

Zhang Gui barely calms down as he loosens the puppet wire strangling Bai Liu.

Bai Liu fell limp and covered his bruised neck as he lay on the ground coughing loudly for breath, his eyes full of physical tears, but he actually smiled, "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life."

Zhang Gui immediately wanted to recoil and strangle him to death with that unpleasant smile.

Zhang Gui pushed back the effort that was going out of control inside him, he took a deep breath to clear his head and started thinking - the system indicated that the bottom line for a failed transaction was a train start, and he glanced at the LED countdown on the carriage, which had a countdown to the start of the train.

--There were still forty seconds to go and he wasn't completely out of it, killing Bai Liu was only ten seconds away and it wasn't too late to wait until the countdown was ten seconds to a line to kill the bastard.

Zhang Gui's mind raced, giving orders as he thought: "It's not a dead end yet, if the players can't get in - Liu Huai, bring the passengers into the carriage where Mu Sicheng is, and have them attack Mu Sicheng! He should be almost out of mental strength by now! Let the passengers alienate him and kill him!"

Liu Huai responded, "Yes!"

Hooking monsters is Liu Huai's specialty, and both the thief and the assassin's skills are judged to be strong.

Back in the day, he and Mu Sicheng were Mu Sicheng stealing, he luring and assassinating monsters, and indeed they were a great partnership.

Liu Huai's two sleeved swords kept moving between the passengers, who were soon drawn to Liu Huai's hatred and followed him, hanging upside down at the entrance of the carriage, which was still in flames, as they searched for Liu Huai and entered the carriage. After entering the carriage, the passengers seemed to be attracted to something, climbing and rolling towards Mu Sicheng's place.

The fire from the big boss, the Thief's Brother, was still able to burn these passengers outright, but after tangling with Mu Sicheng for a while the Thief's Brother's condition had obviously slipped quite a bit and the flames became much smaller, and while the players couldn't resist it yet, these passengers were able to get in.

The flames inside the carriage where the thief's brother was were fading, and those in the next carriage could barely make out the scene inside.

A blank-eyed Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth and rode the big monster's neck, unable to shake it off.

And the bursting passengers, seemingly attracted by the lenses on the big monster, poured into the carriage in a steady stream, climbing and hissing as the different flaming charred corpses overlapped and overlapped, the big monster twisting and turning and throwing Mu Sicheng off with a backhand.

Mu Sicheng choked and coughed as if he had finally run out of steam, released his monkey paw and fell backwards into the mountain of bursting passengers that had been piled on top of his thief brother, the little giant.

The blackened and charred passengers grabbed Mu Sicheng's limbs with their teeth and claws, their blackened fingers scratching Mu Sicheng's ghastly white face, as the passengers poured in, overwhelming him like a mountain. He leans back and sticks his head out of the sea of corpses, gasping for breath as if he were suffocating, but his mouth is soon covered by the charred corpses below.

Mu Sicheng's entire body was pulled into a fiery mountain of corpses, never to be seen again.

The thief's brother threw back his head and bellowed, his fists blazing with fire as he shouted and raised his fists, looking as if he was ready to strike a blow at Mu Sicheng, who was drowning in the pile of passengers.

Mu Sicheng lies on his back with his eyes lost in the pile of charred corpses, seemingly oblivious to everything around him, only the slight heaving of his chest announcing the fact that the man is alive.

But this survival does not look like it will last very long.

The monster landed a punch.

Du Sanying saw Mu Sicheng's side and he cried out with a harsh scream, a sound that made Mu Sicheng blink as if with difficulty in the nick of time, and he managed to side-step the huge fist coming down from the thief's brother, but the wind made Mu Sicheng vomit a mouthful of blood and his eyelids drooped helplessly. His eyelids drooped helplessly and his whole body sank deeper into the pile of charred corpses.

[System warning: Please flee quickly, Mu Sicheng! Your spirit level is endangered! You are near the borderline of death!

Mu Sicheng is clearly not going to last much longer.

" Mu Sicheng is definitely dead." Zhang Gui narrowed his eyes, "This monster even you, Bai Liu, your attribute panel when you are berserk may not be able to block it, Liu Huai, as soon as Mu Sicheng dies immediately throw me the amulet of a mermaid in his drop item!"

"I can't even hold up my berserk panel?" Bai Liu's thoughtful voice suddenly rang out, "What if I double my berserk panel attributes?"

"How did you double your berserk panel attributes?" Zhang Gui snorted, "Looks like Mu Sicheng told you about my personal skill Puppet Enhancement."

"I'll be straight with you Bai Liu, it's theoretically impossible to double the Berserk Attribute Panel, firstly you have to drop below 20 spirit points to enter the Berserk Attribute Panel, then my personal skill (Puppet Reinforcement) requires sacrificing fifty of your spirit points to do so, but you can't use [Puppet Reinforcement] with less than 20 spirit points left. "

"What if I'm partial to it?" Bai Liu asks softly.

Zhang Gui snickered, "But you won't die, you'll just go into a state where you're worse than dead."

Zhang Gui now has the time to talk to Bai Liu, he looks at him with a smirk, a sense of victory and achievement after a fight with a clever man: "The countdown to the start of the train on the LED now has 36 seconds left, Mu Sicheng won't last 36 seconds at all, you will lose this time, I will definitely I'm sure I can get the - "amulet of the mermaid.

[System Alert: The train has started, Player Zhang Gui has broken his trust with Player Bai Liu and failed to complete the transaction with Player Bai Liu regarding the Mermaid Amulet, Player Zhang Gui has been given a reputation penalty to become a Soul Coin in Player Bai Liu's old wallet].

Zhang Gui's eyes widened as he subconsciously looked at the LED countdown screen and retorted in shock: "How could the train have started when there were still thirty-six seconds to go-"

The train starts to shake and start, and Liu Huai stops in his tracks to chase Du Sanying in shock.

Du Sanying, who was running all over the carriage, finally sank into the corner with a long breath, his arms and legs weak and tear-stained as he sobbed and removed the translucent fabric covering the LED screen, leaning against the door with his limbs weak and tear-stained face, sobbing: " Bai Liu, next time I won't work with you again, it was so exciting, I thought I was going to die! I thought I was going to die."

The fabric slowly fell to the ground, revealing a real screen that read [Countdown: 0 seconds, train will start soon, passengers please get ready].

Zhang Gui throws a scouting prop over that dropped fabric with a dark look on his face.

[Reconnaissance result: Player Du Sanying used a prop (disguised fabric) to tamper with the time on the LED screen]

"Du Sanying!" Zhang Gui lost his cool and broke down to question Du Sanying: "When did you use this prop! How come I have no memory of-"

He suddenly stopped his words of questioning.

Zhang Gui recalls Du Sanying frantically throwing props out to stall for time while they were chasing him, when a piece of fabric was indeed thrown out and hung on the screen.

But Zhang Gui was so overwhelmed by the joy of his impending victory that his plan went so smoothly from start to finish that he didn't even think that Du Sanying's frightened, sobbing performance was faked!

Du Sanying was so frightened by Bai Liu that he was on the verge of tears, and Bai Liu played the villain so well that he and Mu Sicheng were really going to be sold out! Du Sanying was really scared when he called Bai Liu inhuman.

After Zhang Gui realized all this, he took two steps back in a bit of a trance, he looked at Bai Liu incredulously: "How is it possible, your intelligence value is 89 and mine is 93, how can you be smarter than me and anticipate what I want to do beforehand ...... "

"Maybe mine's a natural?" Bai Liu shrugged his shoulders as he said casually, his expression calm as he moved quickly to pull a brand new coin - Zhang Gui's Soul Coin - from his old wallet and pressed it into his system panel.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has used player Zhang Gui's Soul Coin to intervene in Zhang Gui's system and is cutting into Zhang Gui's system panel ......]

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has officially cut to player Zhang Gui's system panel and is available for action]

Bai Liu's system panel instantly switched to Zhang Gui's, who saw it and realised that he was completely under control, grunted impotently and turned his head away to close his eyes from his defeat.

He has controlled so many people, but he has never been controlled by anyone before.

Bai Liu, heh, Bai Liu.

This man must have known that he was trying to capture him to draw on his intelligence, and was only so emboldened to think that he would not kill him easily.

As it turned out, Zhang Gui did exactly the same thing, allowing Bai Liu to take advantage of an opening.

Zhang Gui doesn't think he was wrong to be greedy, he just lost when he met a guy who was ten times greedier than him.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu uses Soul Coin to intervene in Player Zhang Gui's System Panel, Player Bai Liu uses Player Zhang Gui's Personal Skill (String Doll), Player Bai Liu manipulates Player Zhang Gui to manipulate Player Liu Huai to attack himself]

Zhang Gui's fingers suddenly moved uncontrollably as he danced around, pulling Liu Huai's heart tighter as it clenched.

Liu Huai and Zhang Gui both looked up at the same time in shock at Bai Liu, who calmly gave him the order, "Attack me, Liu Huai, in the way that costs you the most mental energy."

Zhang Gui was shocked: "You've already won, Bai Liu, what more do you want to do? The door will be closed soon!"

Yes, the train had started and both [Exploding Passenger] and [Thief's Brother] were ready to leave the train, the still-burning monsters dragging the trophy in their hands - a struggling, minuscule Mu Sicheng - ready to walk out the door.

Mu Sicheng seemed to have lost all consciousness, his eyeless eyes were dreamily open, blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth and eyes, and Bai Liu's only certainty that this man was not dead was that -

-- Mu Sicheng From beginning to end, no escape prop (mermaid's amulet) was ever used.

[Bai Liu, I'm not sure I could use a mermaid's amulet with less than 10 spirit, the human desire to survive can make people do a lot of strange things, including breaking cooperation and betraying teammates]

[But if ...... I really never used the prop from start to finish, then it means I maintained my sanity with a mental value of less than 10, as you, the madman, demanded]

[Mu Sicheng, if you don't use (the mermaid's amulet), then I promise I will save you as long as I live]

I don't want to be controlled by Zhang Gui, I'd rather die, but being controlled by you, up to now, I'm okay with that].

[You're my most valuable card, Mu Sicheng, and I won't let you die]

"I want to save Mu Sicheng ." Bai Liu repeated in a flat tone, " Liu Huai, attack me with that weapon of yours that can drop your spirit value extremely fast."

Liu Huai's hand jabbed forward uncontrollably and the two sleeved swords pierced into Bai Liu's chest and stomach, but Bai Liu only frowned slightly as Liu Huai let go of his hand with a shudder.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has been attacked by player Liu Huai's (Dark Sleeve Sword) and has suffered an erosion of his spirit level, dropping -30, current spirit level 39, Warning! Warning! Warning!

Bai Liu let out a breath as he slightly covered his bleeding chest, glanced up at Mu Sicheng who was still barely struggling, and spat out a few words to Liu Huai as if displeased, "Not quite enough, keep stabbing."

Liu Huai's hand gripped the sleeve sword and stabbed into Bai Liu's chest one by one uncontrollably, his whole body was almost shaking when he stabbed into the chest. ......"

Bai Liu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth unconcernedly as he swept Liu Huai a faint glance, "I promised him that I would save him."

"It's my deal and my partnership with him, and it's my basic ethics as a Rover to keep the deal."
