Chapter 54: Explosive Last Train

All the illusions shatter in front of Bai Liu's face like broken lenses, and Bai Liu, who died in a strange way, is reduced to ashes like a burning photograph in the illusion.

Bai Liu slowly opened his unfocused eyes.

Everyone held their breath and took a subconscious step back, Du Sanying cowered in the corner looking at the sightless Bai Liu and swallowed hard, taking an apprehensive step back.

Du Sanying now has a strange premonition, Bai Liu makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end, but at the same time it makes his heart beat faster with excitement.

"What is it now ...... " Du Sanying muttered, "Is it one more monster on our side, or is it ...... "

Mu Sicheng's blackened paws are dragged out of the door, his paws scratching lightly against the bars with slight difficulty, as if to prevent his own departure, and the door slowly closes, revealing only a pair of Mu Sicheng's vacant, snow-white eyes that seem resigned.

In the next second, Bai Liu moves.

He stomped across the surface of the carriage with incredible speed, the steel walls of the carriage were dented by Bai Liu's tread, and Bai Liu appeared in a blink of an eye above the door from which Mu Sicheng was to be dragged away, Bai Liu looked calm and stepped between the doors with great force, before Mu Sicheng's hand was about to be dragged out completely. A second before Mu Sicheng's hand was about to be dragged out of the carriage, he put both feet on both sides of the door frame, holding it against the door that was about to close.

Bai Liu let out a breath as he grabbed the door by the sides with both hands and pulled it out with such force that his shoulder blades shrugged up against his shirt, and the glass door of the carriage gave an ear-splitting "clack" and exploded into a million pieces with a "thud".

The heavy carriage door is pulled open with the bare hands of the seemingly slim Bai Liu in a twisted gesture.

"Shit ......" Du Sanying was dumbfounded, " Bai Liu has evolved into a King Kong Barbie!!!"

Both the passenger dragging Mu Sicheng outside the door and the thief's brother stop in their tracks, the threat of Bai Liu pulling open the door making them feel threatened, and the thief's brother roars viciously, instantly raising his flaming fist and bringing it down on Bai Liu.

Bai Liu moves so fast that he can barely see the streaks, dodges sideways, then bends down like a flash to drag Mu Sicheng in from below and kick the thief's brother out of the way.

This enraged the thief's brother, and he slammed his fist into the ground with his whole body on fire, and the whole carriage, which had begun to move, was immediately enveloped in fire again, and was nailed in place by the thief's brother with brute force.

Zhang Gui looked completely confused and he tentatively shouted, " Bai Liu ? You're not crazy?"

Bai Liu looked back at him and answered him with an unmistakable natural attitude and look, "No need to control me, I'm awake, let go of the puppet silk to catch Mu Sicheng."

Bai Liu tries to throw Mu Sicheng to another carriage, to Zhang Gui, who stops him in front of the thief's brother, who looks furious at Bai Liu, but does not continue to attack him, but without hesitation abandons Bai Liu in front of him and goes back to attack Mu Sicheng, his fists burning with He threw his fist into Mu Sicheng, who was thrown into the air by Bai Liu.

As Bai Liu reacted, the thief's brother threw a vicious punch at Mu Sicheng, who had been thrown over by Bai Liu. The blood spurted out of Bai Liu's mouth and dripped down onto Mu Sicheng's white face.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu's life is reduced to 6!

"Tch." Bai Liu wiped the blood from the side of his mouth as he rolled over to avoid another attack from his thief brother, gasping for breath he suddenly smiled a little looking at Mu Sicheng who lay limp and motionless behind him, "Well done, no wonder the thief brother had to drag you away, so you stole his broken lenses and the hate value locked on you."

In Mu Sicheng's clenched right monkey paw was a broken lens about the size of a heart, which the man had been unconscious for so long that he had actually kept squeezing it without the thief's brother getting it out.

This was also part of Bai Liu's plan to steal the broken lenses, as Mu Sicheng always remembered.

Bai Liu and the thief's brother struggled back and forth for a while, and as the thief's brother was about to use another flaming attack, Bai Liu gave a cold order to the stunned group: "Come and help me close the car door. Just get the car out of the way!"

It was only then that the group scrambled over to push together the door that had been torn open by Bai Liu, and after barely fending off one last punch from his much weakened thief brother, who had lost his heart shattering lens, the battered train finally pulled away slowly, creaking and squeaking.

Everyone was deflated.

Zhang Gui and his three stooges lean against the door and stare in awe at Bai Liu, Du Sanying is sweating like a dog on a chair with his tongue out. He is adjusting his breathing.

He bought two bottles of spirit bleach and two bottles of stamina restorer, drank one bottle of spirit bleach and one bottle of stamina restorer for himself, and filled two bottles for Mu Sicheng, Bai Liu was very rough in the way he filled them, Mu Sicheng almost died in the middle of the drink, he choked and coughed and woke up, Bai Liu sat next to him and handed him the following. "Drink it yourself, by the way, these two bottles add up to 1700 points, I'll charge a 10% commission for buying them for you, that's 1870 points, thanks for your patronage."

After saying this, Bai Liu justifiably reached out to Mu Sicheng, meaning - pay up.

Mu Sicheng, who has just escaped from nine deaths to regain his sanity: "......"

Mu Sicheng, who had transferred 1,870 points to Bai Liu, was speechless when he touched the blood stain on his face, which Bai Liu had vomited on his face after being punched to save him.

Bai Liu also did not mention to him that he had helped him to take a punch, but Mu Sicheng did vaguely see Bai Liu holding himself up in front of him, Bai Liu such a heartless person did a good deed for him without leaving his name ...... which made Mu Sicheng slightly He looked away and pretended to casually give Bai Liu the broken lens he had been cupping in his hand: "No, take it."

Bai Liu took it naturally, without asking Mu Sicheng why he gave it to him, everything was so natural.

Mu Sicheng still didn't hold it in, he pretended not to care and asked, " Bai Liu, at that time, you actually came to my rescue, I thought you didn't care about me, I didn't think you still had some conscience."

"It has nothing to do with whether I have a conscience or not, if we were in a relationship of use, we could indeed leave you alone and I would get through with less trouble." Bai Liu said casually, wiping away the blood from his mouth as if he didn't feel anything, "but we are in a partnership and have agreed long ago that if I said I wouldn't let you die, then I won't let you die, it's a deal."

Mu Sicheng snorted somewhat indistinctly, "A deal? What kind of deal?"

"A one-point deal." Bai Liu held up the mental bleach still taking a sip, recalling, "You gave me a point when we struck the deal, don't you remember?"

Mu Sicheng was silent for a long, long time, his head bowed as if he recalled many things, and as if he recalled nothing at all.

Mu Sicheng's dark red eyes flickered, and then calmly and peacefully went out, and he suddenly grunted and laughed: "It's really a bargain for one point ...... Bai Liu, you're a really strange person."

"You're not the first person to say that about me." Bai Liu said tilting his head and taking a swig of mental bleach, "I don't think it will be the last either."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu uses Spirit Bleach to restore his spirit to 60]

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu obtained the large broken lenses (1 large lens = 20 small pieces) carried by (Thief Brothers) and the broken lenses in player Zhang Gui's hand, totaling 100 pieces of broken lenses, the progress of the collection task reached 1/4, triggering the total number of broken lenses to be collected -]

[System Alert: Collecting Broken Lenses (100/400)]

[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: Heartbreak Lens (1/3)]

[Attack: Rage Frenzy Hammer, Flaming Blast (Due to the theft of the important broken lens from the heart by the player, the thief's brother is uncontrollably weakened, and the strength of his attacks and the speed of his movement are greatly reduced, increasing the player's survival rate during confrontations)]

[System warning: Player Bai Liu has only six points of life left! He is on the verge of death! Please take care to protect yourself!

Bai Liu closed his eyes, he leaned back against the carriage and finally let out a long, long, exhale with a little tired smile after victory and a rare human little bit of triumph: " - everyone survived, seven stations to go. "

Mu Sicheng was quiet for a moment and he smiled back, "Well, we all survived, thanks to your madman's plan."

Yes, that's right, Bai Liu's plan from the start was the unthinkable option one -

--He wants everyone to live.

Bai Liu, the psychopath, wants everyone to be controlled by him and then survive.

That's the most cost-effective approach in this life-draining game.

Bai Liu would not waste a single life value of any man, and this extreme greed made Mu Sicheng believe in him and in the fact that Bai Liu would not let himself die so easily.

Five minutes ago.

After Bai Liu had just said he was going to work with the Puppeteer, Mu Sicheng became furious: "Who the hell are you going to work with? The Puppeteer?!"

"We have to work together." Bai Liu was calm, "Or rather not cooperate, I alone must control everyone to ensure maximum efficiency in mobilising life values."

"Because our total lifesteal is so low, I only have 21, you only have 70 or so, Du Sanying is full, but even then we only have a little over 100 lifesteal on our side, and the Puppet Master, after this attack, minus the 20 lifesteal points needed to exchange the shard, and the 10 lifesteal points needed to try it out, tops out at 370, we only have over 600 combined A point of life, which is too low in a game that requires 400 life points to be consumed to pass."

"It's the equivalent of one of us having died invisibly." Bai Liu spoke in a calm tone, "We have killed a player without even knowing it."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but spit out, "You lost most of the life points, didn't you! You've lost over seventy alone!"

"Oh, yeah?" Bai Liu quickly pretended not to hear anything as he digressed and continued, "And if the total shards are 400 and the collection estimate is now 40, that leaves 360 life points for us to throw."

Bai Liu's tone was suddenly serious: "But there's another important point here, and that is that we've already passed two stations, but our monster book illustration has only refreshed one page."

Bai Liu opened his system's Monster Book panel and gestured to it, "And the Monster Book for Burst Last Train has three pages, which means there are at least two more monsters we haven't encountered yet."

Mu Sicheng's face sank: "If we count the progress of the game, we are currently past twenty percent, and usually new monsters appear at this time."

Bai Liu nodded and agreed with Mu Sicheng, "By the general nature of the game, the monsters that appear at this time I think would be new monsters that would be harder to deal with than [Burst Passenger]."

"It's bound to be harder for us to get the shattered lenses from this new monster, and with the known high probability that we'll have to lose 360 life points, we'll also have to do battle with two unknown and stronger monsters, and with the current six hundred minus 360, even if all the deaths are on the puppeteer's side, that leaves us with only two and a half people. "

Bai Liu spreads his hands, "Do you guys think we have a better chance of getting through or a better chance of total annihilation?"

Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying both gave a united thump.

Mu Sicheng looked first at Bai Liu. He opened his mouth, "So what do you mean?"

Bai Liu was calm: "I mean to keep everyone alive and strengthen the war effort first."

Du Sanying was a little dazed: "But didn't you say before that it was impossible for everyone to survive? "

Bai Liu said, "I was speaking from Zhang Gui's point of view before, if he was in control of the whole situation, it would indeed be impossible for everyone to survive because we need their strength to fight the monsters to protect us, so we need them to survive, but they don't actually need the strength of us underdogs to fight the monsters, we are of limited value to him limited, so if the new monsters are hard to deal with, he's perfectly capable of throwing us out just to get through."

Du Sanying was even more dazed: "Then why are we working with the Puppeteer? Wouldn't that be giving him the door to control us?"

Bai Liu's mouth curved slightly, "Yes, just to make him think he has control over all of us."

Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng both stared in unison.

"If I were Zhang Gui, I wouldn't come against us head on because that would increase the life loss on their side, to reduce the life loss it would be better to scatter us one by one and then take us one by one, for me, who is at a disadvantage for profit, he would bait and cut off my back path, which is obviously Mu Sicheng This is a player with a strong panel." Bai Liu said, turning his head towards Mu Sicheng.

"For players with strong panel attributes like Mu Sicheng, if I were Zhang Gui, I'd probably play dirty and not confront them head-on.

The corners of Mu Sicheng's mouth twitched when he heard Bai Liu's flat tone of voice about playing dirty with himself.

Mu Sicheng held his chest and raised his eyebrows, "So you're going to ask Zhang Gui for cooperation? How are you going to keep everyone alive after working with Zhang Gui when he's likely to sacrifice us after he takes control of us?"

"He controls everyone and I control him through [cooperation]." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Sicheng, "It's that simple."

Mu Sicheng gave a sneer and retorted, "How do you control him? What do you do to get him to [cooperate] with you?"

Bai Liu raised his eyes as he looked intently and directly at Mu Sicheng: "By you, Mu Sicheng, you will be doing something very risky, with a high probability of death, but I can use this to control Zhang Gui."

Mu Sicheng is stunned.

"But even if you only have a little bit of life left in you, I will still keep you alive." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng with a calm yet powerful look, " Mu Sicheng, you are one of my most valuable cards and I promise that as long as you stay within my plan, no matter what, I will make sure you survive."

The plan that Bai Liu eventually proposed was fraught with uncertainty and variability.

Mu Sicheng doesn't even know what this guy's personal skill is, nor does he know if that [Cooperation] personal skill Bai Liu supposedly has can be stronger than the Puppet Master's [Puppet Silk] judgement, which allows him to control his opponent.

But in that moment, Mu Sicheng was so intensely stared at by Bai Liu that it was as if he was uncontrollably persuaded to agree to Bai Liu's gambling, crazy plan.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu's unreservedly reflected, somewhat dazed self in his eyes, remembering Bai Liu's whip after whip of his whole body taking off to attract the monster's hate value for him.

This guy was a madman, never backing down or running away from anything, there were times when Bai Liu was on the verge of falling off the train without taking his eyes off Mu Sicheng, and as Bai Liu himself said, I wouldn't empty any whip to ensure your survival.

Liu Huai, back in the day, also played such a role, drawing hate value, or letting off steam, for the thieving Mu Sicheng.

Liu Huai is a very suitable and good person for this release job, but Mu Sicheng feels that if it had been Liu Huai working with him to this day, in the kind of situation he was in before stealing the monster shattered lenses, Liu Huai might have missed too, because he wouldn't have come to his rescue with complete disregard for himself, like Bai Liu, the madman.

Bai Liu told Mu Sicheng the key to the whole plan - (the mermaid amulet) and its function, and he told Mu Sicheng that once you use this prop, I will become a puppet of [Zhang Gui] and the plan will fail.

Mu Sicheng was quiet and snorted, "You just told me that? You're not afraid I'll betray you and actually use it?"

Bai Liu looks at Mu Sicheng very quietly, his eyes are very dark and when he raises his head slightly to look at someone like this, the person is reflected in Bai Liu's eyes as clearly as if he were reflected in a mirror, giving the illusion that Bai Liu, a man with an evil heart, is trusting you wholeheartedly.

Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng in a very soft voice: "Do you know how to use it?"

Mu Sicheng closed his eyes slightly, he was silent for a long time before he replied, " Bai Liu, I'm not sure I could definitely not use the mermaid's amulet with a spirit value of less than 10, the human desire to survive can make people do many strange things, including breaking cooperation and betraying others."

Bai Liu did not urge him on, but waited quietly for Mu Sicheng's answer in the windy sound of the train moving.

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath, "But if I really didn't use the prop (Mermaid's Amulet), then it means that I maintained my sanity with a mental value of less than 10, as you, the madman, requested."

"If you don't use [the mermaid's amulet], Mu Sicheng ." Bai Liu said, "then as long as I live, I will save you."

--------

Small TV wall in the central hall.

Except for Bai Liu, who had the misfortune of falling into the Graveyard Bounce Zone, almost all the players on the Last Train to Burst made it to the Central Lobby promotion, even Li Gou got a Central Lobby Edge promotion, and Zhang Gui Du Sanying Mu Sicheng was already hanging out in the good recommended spots.

The Zhang Gui promotion is the best, he was in the [Central Hall Multiplayer Area Hot Promotion], but when Zhang Gui took control of Bai Liu, Zhang Gui's small TV point recommendation charge all exploded, smoothly rushed into the [Central Hall Core Promotion].

But Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying didn't fare so well, as after these two were under Bai Liu's control, viewers found it less enjoyable to watch and began to slowly drift towards Bai Liu's mini-TV, with a slight dip in promotion.

Zhang Gui was the first player to break into the [core promotion] of Burst Last Train by controlling Bai Liu and successfully causing a wave of bounties.

Zhang Gui's small TV audience was also excited: the

" Zhang Gui can do it this time! Not bad for a player with 93 IQ points! Successfully controlled the game!"

"Let's see, Zhang Gui controls Bai Liu, Bai Liu controls Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, amazing! Does that mean that everyone is controlled by Zhang Gui!"

"Tears for me Little Zhang, I've waited so long for this day! You've been chasing God Mu for so long, and today you've finally taken God Mu down by someone else!"

"I was expecting Bai Liu, the third party, to interfere, but as it turns out, Bai Liu is no match for Zhang Gui, the difference in strength is too great!

The viewers of Zhang Gui's TV show were talking about it with great interest, but suddenly one viewer seemed to notice that something was wrong: "No, what's wrong, Zhang Gui is doing so well, so the viewers of Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng's TV show should be flowing over, right? Why are they all going to Bai Liu's TV?"
