Chapter 567: The Lost Land of Gold

Next to the panicked king and priests, the guards of Gloren looked blankly at the Bai Liu who had suddenly appeared at the entrance to Gloren and asked, "Is this your guest?"

--The hourglass of reversal brought Bai Liu to this moment, ten years ago, when he met Bai six, who was trading with the King.

"No, he's not my guest." Bai six explained with a smile, "but I do look forward to his visits."

"I've been looking forward to this visit, for ten years."

"The moment you came here ten years ago and made a deal with these people, you knew that ten years later I would enter the game, get the hourglass, and reverse time to come to you?" Bai Liu's tone was unruffled as he asked, "That's a lot of work."

Bai six laughed softly, he shrugged his shoulders as if helpless, "There's nothing I can do about it, I have an appointment with Mr. [Prophet] and I can't interfere with you on my own initiative."

"But when you enter the game and come to me voluntarily in time travel, you can't call me interfering."

"When did you guess that the monster in this copy was mine?" Bai six inquired with a smile as he opened his hand to block Bai Liu's whip, "How hostile, to hit me with a monster book as soon as I come over."

There are monsters in every copy, but in this copy of The Lost Kingdom of Gold, Bai Liu did not find any.

Neither the gold dust all over the ground, nor the goldified animals everywhere, nor the goldified people at the entrance to the mines, belong to the category of monsters, but a copy, it is impossible to have no monsters - then the answer is obvious.

"The key is time." Bai Liu raised his eyes as he looked at the monster book panel that surfaced on his system panel, "Monsters don't exist in the Land of Gold ten years from now."

"- but rather the Land of Gold ten years ago, after the hourglass was reversed."

[System Alert: Congratulations to Player Bai Liu for unlocking the Monster Book - The Lost Land of Gold (1/2)]

[Monster Name: The Evil God of the Land of Gold

[Attack Value: ????? (Undetectable, can be unlocked)]

[Attack Method: ?? (cannot be fully detected, may not be unlocked)]

[Weakness: ?? (undetectable)]

"Quick reaction time." Bai six caught the long whip Bai Liu flung at him between two fingers and cocked his head with a grin, "I've cooperated with you to unlock the monster book, in return can we talk peacefully about something else?"

"- like the Prince of Georgia who is about to shoot an arrow at me now on the walls?"

A golden arrow shot through the air, piercing between the two men, Bai Liu withdrew his long whip and looked sideways at the young Georgia on the wall with her bow drawn full.

Bai Liu's arrival is a clear distraction from the prince's hostility towards Bai six - Georgia, now only sixteen years old, is frowning and pointing her bow and arrow warily at Bai Liu, the unexpected visitor who has appeared outside Gloren's gates.

"You can't have two of the same soul in one dimension." Bai six's voice contained a smile, "You bring Georgia back from ten years ago, and he becomes what he was ten years ago."

"It seems that your efforts to acquire this prince's soul are going to be scrapped."

Bai six spreads his hands and laughs, "- Georgia ten years ago doesn't remember that you helped him guard Gloren and were uniformly hostile to both you and me."

"This copy has two pages of the monster book." Bai Liu shifted his eyes from Georgia to Bai six, "There's another monster besides you, it's a dotard, right?"

"Hmm." Bai six sighed, "Apart from the fact that you don't want to, you're really the perfect candidate for the successor to the evil god."

"This is the hourglass filled with tears." Bai Liu held out his hand and raised his eyes to Bai six, "In accordance with the bargain you made a thousand years ago, the deal between Gloren, the Land of Gold and you is terminated, I give you the hourglass and you give me the goldstone."

When Bai Liu opened his palm and the hourglass filled with tears was revealed to everyone, everyone was stunned, even Georgia, who had once again filled her bow on the wall, stopped and slowly lowered it.

"This is-!" The king exclaimed incredulously, looking at the hourglass with a look of anticipation or resistance that he didn't know whether to expect, and cautiously looking closer, "The Hourglass of Time!"

"I can certainly suspend the deal." There was a lot of indefinable Buming in Bai six's smile, and with a glance at the somewhat pale priest next to him, he said with a soft smile, "But after the deal is stopped, if anyone still wants to continue trading gold with me for the next thousand years, I naturally won't refuse."

Bai six opened his palm and on top of it was the hovering Pointing Stone, he smiled and asked, " King of Gloren, would you like to choose [Hourglass of Time], or [Pointing Stone]?"

The king looked at the two objects with a struggle in his eyes - an old, worn hourglass overflowing with tears and having survived countless storms, and a shiny, golden and opulent, brand new pointing stone.

When being thus clearly revealed to him, everyone who has grown up in the land of gold will, out of an instinctive desire to grasp the nod to the stone that can bring gold.

"Your Majesty!" The priest raised his voice as he looked at the king who was caught in a state of indecision and was on the verge of jumping up and down with anxiety, "The amount of gold mined this spring is less than a tenth of what was mined last year, and without more gold, many people will starve to death!"

The guards also exhorted urgently, "Your Majesty, choose the golden stone!"

"Father!" Georgia tumbled from the walls with a leap, rarely had he acted so inappropriately, but at this moment the young prince could not care less about royal etiquette, he ran over and spoke with a calm but gasping look, "Please do not choose the pointing stone."

"Select Hourglass."

Georgia looked insistently at the king with those brown eyes: "You knew how terrible it was to fill this hourglass on the night you lost your mother, do you want to make all the citizens of Gloren go through this pain once more as a way of paying God for the pain he wants?"

"Your Royal Highness!" The priest was anxious and helpless, "Don't make trouble, without this golden stone, many people will starve and freeze to death in Gloren this winter!"

"But if you take this golden stone." Georgia's eyes did not avert, he looked straight at the king, "and the winter of Gloren, after a thousand years, will never pass."

"Will Gloren still exist then?"

"Will it become a land of nothing but misery, buried at the bottom of the sea and disappearing into thin air because it has to pay back the thousand years of gold it owes?"

The priest was stunned, and even the guards paused numbly in their exhortations.

The king's eyes were complicated and struggling as he said feebly, "But Georgia, that too is a thousand years away ......"

"For King Gloren, who set the deal in the first place, we are also a thousand years away." Georgia looked up and he whispered, "But for us, this moment, this time, there is no millennium; winter is winter."

"So for a thousand years after this moment, when the Gloren nation faces a thousand years of gold to be repaid, will their winter not be winter?"

"Father, you taught me to be a responsible monarch to the nation and to exist for the happiness and joy of the people of Gloren."

Georgia gripped the bow in her hand: "The nationals here, not only of the present, should also include the future, should they not?"

The king fell into a long silence.

The priests and guards also ceased to speak, and all were silent.

Eventually, the king took a long breath and he looked up, his eyes a million complex tangled emotions dissipating into sand: "I choose Hourglass."

"That was unexpected." Bai six smiled lightly as he collected the gold stones and turned to Bai Liu, "Did you expect Georgia to be able to convince her father?"

"No." Bai Liu replied calmly as he handed the hourglass to the king and lowered his eyes, "I just believe that human tears can have some unexpected effects."

"I was able to beat you the first two times on unexpected emotions, so-"

"- so you still made the same choice this time, you chose to trust in human emotions and then you won me a third time." Bai six smiled amusingly as he handed Bai Liu the gold point stone, "I don't understand it, but it does seem interesting."

"As a reward for your win over me, the gold point stone is for you, and of course there is another gift for you, which you will find out when you leave the game."

"But for now." Bai six looked to Georgia, who was staring at him hostilely, gave a courteous off-hat salute, then said goodbye to the king before finally looking to Bai Liu and smiling, "It seems I'm not very welcome here as a businessman."

"I'll just go ahead."

With a casual swipe to the left, Bai six creates a silver-blue swirling door, he smiles and waves to Bai Liu, turning away, "I look forward to our next meeting."

"-that would have been in ten years."

Bai Liu watched the silver-blue door close, then slowly released his hand from clutching the whip - the sense of oppression Bai six brought was too strong, and if he didn't follow the other man's steps, the god who was so idle that his brain grew a bag might do something to force the deal, and then there would be nothing he could do to stop what had happened to Gloren.

But now ...... Bai Liu drops his eyes to look at the nugget in his hand, grips it, and turns around to prepare to log out of the game as well.

[System Alert: Congratulations to player Bai Liu for collecting the Monster Book - "The Lost Land of Gold" (2/2)]

[Monster Name: Pointing Stone

[Players can exit the game and receive a special prop reward for collecting the Monster Book of the Land of Gold].

Although he hadn't gotten Georgia's soul, he had worked hard and hadn't gotten anything - but he had expected that he wouldn't get Georgia's soul, and the man was very defensive and wary of him, and when he made that request, Georgia looked at him with a look of scrutiny and murder. and murderous intent.

How should I say, should I say worthy to be the director of the interrogation three bureau, obviously he has made it this far, but still did not relax his guard, look at him still like looking at a prisoner.

-- obviously he's really just an enthusiastic citizen who likes to collect souls.

Bai Liu sighed regretfully in his heart.

...... Georgia Soul's skills, so good, it's a bit of a shame he can't get it, but it can't be helped, he doesn't get everything as he wants it.

Outside the game, his teammates should be waiting, and there's no point in wasting any more time, so Bai Liu gathers himself and is just about to exit when a somewhat raw male voice calls out to him, "Wait."

Bai Liu turns his head and raises an eyebrow.

The young prince, barely maintaining his poise in his presence but with a slight blush on his face, held out his hand and apologised sincerely, "It was not my intention to attack you just now, I am sorry."

"Although I do not know where you came from, your arrival did save Gloren and I should not have done such a rude thing to you."

Bai Liu maintained a subtle expression as he looked at Georgia until he had the feigningly composed prince flushed and his eyelashes trembling as he pleaded, "If you cannot accept my apology, I will ask for a penalty when I return, the amount of which can be determined by you until you are willing to accept my apology!"

Bai Liu: "......"

It's not necessary.

It's been a long time since he's cheated on a child, and he's a little out of practice. Maybe Lu Yizhan's comment [Don't cheat on children] really got into his head, and he didn't even remember for a moment that there was a way to cheat on young Georgia.

To be more precise, he really didn't expect that Georgia, the serious and aloof-looking head of the Third Bureau, would be so ...... young

Innocence.

In Bai Liu's case, the word naivety is usually associated with being a good liar.

"I accept your apology." Bai Liu quickly puts on a humane and friendly smile as he takes Georgia's hand and gives it a firm shake, "No need to be so polite with me and say salutations, we're not so rusty after ten years."

"I can say that it is at your behest, ten years later, that I have come here to bring you the hourglass."

"Me in ten years ......" Georgia's expression was a little puzzled, "What does that mean?"

Bai Liu smiled softly with downcast eyes, "You can understand that I am someone from [the future], and that you are a very remarkable person ten years from now, who filled the hourglass with your own tears to save your kingdom, and entrusted me to send it ten years ago, wanting to abort Gloren's deal ten years early."

"And you really did succeed."

"Is that so?" Georgia looked at Bai Liu for a quiet moment as he took a deep breath, "Then I'm really in trouble with you ten years later."

"It's not really a problem, is it?" Bai Liu was all business, "We're soul buddies, it's normal to do you this favour."

"Soul ...... best friend ......" Georgia pursed her lips calmly for a moment, her ears reddening a little, "Are you and I, so intimate ?"

Georgia, who comes from the Crown Prince, has been very hard on himself since he was a child and has almost no friends of his own age, because before friends are friends in his eyes, they are his nationals and he has a responsibility to them, that cannot be too close to them, which is not in keeping with the code of conduct of the Crown Prince.

His only close peers were his brother, Armand, who worshipped him blindly.

It was the first time he had ever met someone with an hourglass, risked time travel to save Gloren from a disaster, his future friend, and it was at the level of soulmate ...... Georgia took a deep breath and even became a bit overwhelmed: "I can trust you with Gloren's affairs to you, you ...... you must be someone I trust."

Bai Liu nodded fervently, "Exactly."

"You invited me to play a game with my team at Gloren ten years later and we won, and your brother cried so much because he lost the game that we comforted him for a long time."

Bai Liu is a nonsensical, unchanging blatherer.

" Armand really ......" Georgia laughed helplessly, his eyes softening considerably, "Ten years on and still so childish."

"But even as a friend, I can't let you make this trip to help me for nothing."

Georgia sincerely asks, "Is there anything you need?"

"Although the Gloren is in a difficult position at the moment, there is no sense in leaving the man who saved us all empty handed, I have a resource of gold stored away in advance and can draw some of it to you, of course it is mundane and you may not like it." Georgia quickly explained, "It's just Gloren custom that we give gold to our best friends as the highest form of valuing and courtesy."

Bai Liu let out a long sigh in his heart - Georgia, from now on you and the whole Gloren crew are my good friends.

May you bring gold to treat me often with courtesy.

"No need for gold." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "I want your soul."

Georgia was stunned: "A soul?"

"If trading for gold is Gloren's highest standard of friendship." Bai Liu smiles, "Then trading my soul is the highest standard of friendship I can have for my best friend."

"Best friends of the soul is not just an empty phrase, it's a real connection that exists."

"So Georgia." Bai Liu looked up, looked at Georgia, held out his hand and asked softly, "Will you sell me your soul?"

Georgia was stunned for a long, long time before she reached out her left hand and gently placed it in Bai Liu's palm: "...... If it is only my soul alone and not the suffering of all the nation, then as a thank you for saving Gloren."

"I can deliver my soul to you."

"But you can't use it to do harm to others and cause pain."

"I usually only do bad things that make people happy." Bai Liu smiled, "Thanks for the trust, Captain Georgia."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu trade successful, exit the game].

Meanwhile, the real world.

On the isolated island, Lu Yizhan rushed into the control room with the team, who were strewn across the floor, the investigators' faces white with fear, Liao Ke quickly crouched down and reached out to check the sides of their necks and looked up to Lu Yizhan to report, "Just fainted, all alive."

Lu Yizhan is relieved.

Luckily it was [Mu Sicheng] who came, if it had been any other circus members, they would have been met with a trail of corpses.

"The console was unplugged and coffee was spilled, but the damage was minor." A member of the team looked up as he checked the instrumentation and said, "I'm overhauling it right now and it'll be working in no time!"

"All right!" The team member was pleased to see the operating screen light up, "I'll see if the robot on the underwater patrol is working properly!"

The screen spreads out in a circle of radar waves.

"On!" The investigator let out a long breath as he braced himself against the console, "Check out Heretic 0073!"

"The energy shield is still intact, it hasn't been damaged, we've caught up!" The team member's face was full of elation, "He shouldn't have dived to 3,000 metres underwater yet, the robot didn't detect it!"

"I told you." The team member next to him covered his thumping heart and gave a reluctant smile after the robbery, "We can only bob around underwater at 800 meters in our submarine, how can a thief, without the help of tight equipment, just dive down to 3,000 meters and steal a ...... "

"Beep-! Beep-!"

A disturbing red dot appeared on the large screen being detected, flying close to 0073's shields at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The smiles of all the team members froze on their faces, the hands and voice of the team member who was operating trembled, his face was one of uncontrollable fear: "Investigation Captain, check, a Buming object is detected approaching 0073's shields at high speed!"

"If the other side keeps going at this rate, it will hit the shield in less than a minute!"

"What kind of monster is this ...... that's 3,000 metres under the sea and it can still move at such a high speed, won't it be affected by the water pressure?!"

"What the hell kind of creature is it?! Is it a heretic?!"

"Never let this man break the shield and take the heretic!" The investigator's eyes were red as he looked at the fast moving red dot, his breath catching and his chest heaving, before turning his head sharply to the operations team, "As I recall, when Captain Georgia built this island guarding Heretic 0073, the funds were mobilised on a military scale and were based on a standard of protection against a nation. "

"This island, stocked with missiles and underwater tracking torpedoes, is big enough to blow this guy to smithereens!"

"What?!" It was Lu Yizhan's turn to turn white with shock, he was so stunned that he couldn't stand it, "Does Georgia still have this stuff for the island?

When did it happen!? The missiles are there?! That's too much!

But the other Tribe members were not surprised:" Captain Georgia has always armed the Tribe's repository on this scale."

"We have those in this Council too."

Lu Yizhan was dizzy and weak in the knees - he wondered why Georgia had been so calm after receiving the advance letter and hadn't even reported it to the General Directorate, when it was the General Directorate and the sub-islands armed on such a scale!

Rebuilt the three bureaus, built floating islands, and armed the storage room with them, and previously helped Su Yang report part of the funding for the five buildings, but Georgia never applied for funding reports to the General Directorate, and never paid for them himself, leading him to know nothing about them ......

Georgia, how much money does this guy have on his hands!

No, no, no, this is not the time to think about that!

"It's still outrageous to use these!" Lu Yizhan shook his head frantically as he tried to hold down the investigator's hand that was trying to push the button to launch the missile, "The other side has no intention of hurting anyone, maybe we can negotiate properly!"

The investigator replied coolly, "It's too late."

"Let's blast him first and then negotiate!"

Lu Yizhan: "!!!"

How do you negotiate when you've blown it up! Let God negotiate with him after the bombing!

What's going on? Isn't the Third Board in charge of storage! Why are they all so aggressive!

Lu Yizhan tried his best to stop it, cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead and he was screaming in his heart - Bai Liu, hurry up, I can't stop you anymore!

A torpedo blast might not really kill [Mu Sicheng].

The circus players in the other world lines are all monster panels in reality now, with the monster book on, [Mu Sicheng]'s movement speed is very fast, if the torpedo flies over and [Mu Sicheng] dodges it then, allowing him to notice that someone at sea is sniping at him, he must be enraged, and with this man's impulsiveness, he might actually do something irreparable!

Normally, [Mu Sicheng] doesn't destroy stolen items when he steals them, but get pissed off and this guy might just poke the shield under the surface, and that would be a disaster!

"Five hundred more meters and it's going to hit the outer edge of the shield!" The team shouted anxiously, "Survey leader, what do we do?!"

"Please don't get in my way, Your Excellency." The investigator raged as he pushed Lu Yizhan out of the way and went to the operating panel, raising his hand to press the red button that symbolised the emergency.

Meanwhile, below the surface of the sea.

[Mu Sicheng] hovering at the bottom of the sea, he looked at the golden country in front of him and raised an eyebrow - no wonder that Bai six guy had to steal this, it was such a valuable thing.

...... But how do I take it away?

[Mu Sicheng] After a moment's thought, he looked towards the golden glowing shield on the outside of this golden house - in any case, whether he cut it up and took it away, or used a prop to pack it away, this obstructive shield should be broken.

But ...... Bai six the guy was so busy, he shouldn't like to make a mess of stolen goods, if he broke the shield, the contents would be a mess and he would be accused of stealing recklessly, the last time he got a famous painting back he scratched a corner, the man smiled at him for two days and he got a chill down his spine.

Tsk.

So annoying.

After thinking about it, Mu Sicheng decided not to pierce the shield and used his largest space prop to fit it back in - but unfortunately, the space prop did not have enough extension to fit in the upper space encased in the shield.

Then this can't be helped.

--To be reluctantly accepted as a soggy trophy by the eventful Bai six.

Below the surface, Mu Sicheng rubbed his fist, threw out his monkey paw and advanced against the shield. On the island, the standoff between Lu Yizhan and the investigator went into a fever pitch, but Lu Yizhan's face sank as he saw the small red dot pause slightly and then move forward against the shield, saying something bad.

Probably because it wouldn't fit, [Mu Sicheng] decided to poke through the shield after all!

Just as Lu Yizhan took a deep breath, ready to draw his heavy sword and tell the investigator that he was ready to go down and forcefully stop [Mu Sicheng], the voice of the operator next to him began to grow confused and alarmed, "Investigation Captain ......"

"Heretic 0073's sea depth figure is decreasing ......"

"It seems to be ......" the operator looked dully at the survey leader, "coming up on its own."

Mu Sicheng, who was about to make his move on the sea, watched as the soon-to-be-stolen kingdom slowly rose from the ground, and the scene inside, which had been dead and silent, began to change rapidly as if time had been turned backwards, and the gold on the people who had been transformed into gold sculptures fell away in pieces, and the gold dust fell from the ground to the sky like rain recovered by the gods.

Time is turning backwards, gold is melting, islands are boiling, and the kingdom that has lain dormant at the bottom of the sea for ten years awakens at the moment when the deal with the gods is over.

Both of [Mu Sicheng's] eyebrows were raised slightly, backing away from his figure and letting the island rise upwards from in front of him without making a move as he looked irritably at the Gloren nationals who were alive and well in the shield, hugging each other and howling loudly.

It's all alive?

What the hell, Bai six, didn't he say he didn't steal from the living?

On the island, Lu Yizhan lets out a long, deflated breath and sits down in a chair, shakily holding a cup and pouring some hot water to slow things down, while the team next to him looks at the rising heretic 0073 with a completely dazed expression.

"Team, Captain." The operations crew snapped dully, "Heretic 0073 is going to rise to the surface, do we fire the missiles to shoot it down?"

Lu Yizhan, who was drinking water, choked on his lungs and trachea: "Ahem!

The investigating team member shook his head in a trance, "...... or not."

"I always felt ...... if we did that, tomorrow Captain Georgia would sink us in the sea."

"Captain ......" the operations crew member stared at the display and eh'd strangely, "The red dot under the sea that was near the heretic 0073 shield is missing."

Lu Yizhan looks over as he chokes and coughs, then turns his head to look at Liao Ke, both of them with a look of relief at last.

Mu Sicheng] does not steal from the living, nor does he like to steal [living things]. Seeing the scene of Gloren's revival, this rebellious thief by nature would never obey Bai six's orders.

Although [Mu Sicheng] did something wrong, in Lu Yizhan's case, it was not a crime worthy of death.

Liao Ke looked at Lu Yizhan, who was slumped in his chair, holding a cup with empty eyes and drinking water - so even in that emergency situation, Mr. Lu tried his best to keep [Mu Sicheng] alive.

Even if they are enemies, Lu Yizhan will not pronounce the death sentence until they have made a fatal mistake.

--because [the Inquisitor] needs to stay awake and sane.

This is an absolute standard that cannot be overstepped as a [judge].

Lu Yizhan, the absolutely sober and sensible judge, was helped out of the third bureau by Liao Ke, who, after thanking him for coming to his senses, was then investigated by Liao Ke and Lu Yizhan in earnest - an investigation that lasted all night. More than 3,000 questions were asked.

By the end of the questioning, Lu Yizhan felt that his privacy and dignity as a human being had been completely lost.

Lu Yizhan stayed up all night, seeing the next day's sun was dizzying and walking with his left foot tripping over his right.

Liao Ke was helpless and amused again and sighed, "...... you were so badly injured in the last game, your soul is only half full, you should have rested well, but you have to go to work during the day, take Spades and the others to practice at night to prepare for the playoffs, and at the same time you have to deal with Bai six, and now you are still You're made of iron and you're rotting on your own."

"But it's good to see that everything has come to a safe end." Lu Yizhan let out a long breath and shook his head and smiled too, "...... has been pretty good lately."

"In the league Spades has been able to hold his own and is working well with his teammates."

"That's true." Liao Ke also laughs about this, "It's always nice to be able to stop and wait for your teammates."

Lu Yizhan and Liao Ke logged into the game once quickly after disembarking, making sure the Killer Sequence match was over before moving on to the three-game investigation process.

"The match turned out exactly as you expected." Liao Ke said, "The Invisible Cloak forfeited in the middle of the double, we killed the match early and now the whole game is talking about the killer sequence, saying it kind of set a precedent for killing a match early in the playoffs, the betting odds we were already the lowest."

The lowest betting rate means that this guild is most likely to win, so betting on this guild to win to is not a big return - which means that in the eyes of many viewers, the most likely team to win this year's championship is the Killer Sequence.

"It's really high profile ......" Lu Yizhan headache, "I would have liked to have practiced properly for the team competition."

"It can't be helped." Liao Ke reassures him, "It happened out of the blue and there's nothing you can do about it, but you don't have to worry about us being too high profile, our buzz is high but it's not the highest."

Lu Yizhan asked, "Bai Liu, their team?"

"Hmm." Liao Ke laughed, "I heard Georgia got out and approached Bai Liu and pressed him about what he'd done to him, said he seemed calm but sounded annoyed and said Bai Liu had lied to him about being his best friend or something."

"Saying that he stole his soul, the whole meeting was in chaos and the two parties almost fought."

"And then what happened?" Lu Yizhan listened with great interest, "What happened?"

Liao Ke nodded: "Then Bai Liu took his Team Quan and logged out of the game, leaving Georgia with a cold face as if something terrible had been done to him, saying that Bai Liu must pay him back, and then logged out of the game as well, probably to find Bai Liu in reality. "

"Now there are already rumours that Bai Liu made light of Georgia during the game's dlc, and Georgia is holding him responsible."

Lu Yizhan: "...... == What kind of outrageous rumour is this?"

"But there are quite a few people who believe it." Liao Ke spreads his hands, "We have a member of our guild who is convinced of this rumour."

"Spades was gone by the time we logged into the game and Bai Yi said he logged out to look for Bai Liu, so if he ran fast, he might have collided with Georgia who was looking for Bai Liu."

Lu Yizhan: "......"

It's over!!!

Bai Liu's rental house.

"There's really nothing between me and him." Bai Liu held up his hands calmly, "I just played a normal game and won him."

"But you're looking at him with lust." Spades clenched his fist in expressionless condemnation, "You're gluttonizing him."

Bai Liu averted his eyes, his tone subtle, "...... Don't sound so strange, I just crave his gold."

Usually aloof, why are you so perceptive at times like this?
