Chapter 578: The Drowning Man from the Future

The Well of Sinners.

Bai six, legs folded, arms crossed, sat on the towering corpse of the monster as if on a throne, smiling and looking down at Bai Liu with a crooked smile, "I have cleaned the inside of the Well of Sinners to welcome you."

"Of course by the look on your face, you don't seem to like it here very much."

"Oh yes, that was the same look you had when you first saw me in the fifth building." Bai six tilted his head slightly, his smile becoming friendly, "Of course, now your expression is much more emotionally exposed-"

"Are you, in fact, hating me?"

"By the way, I never tell lies as far as God is concerned, remember the friendly reminder I gave you back in the fifth building?"

Bai six's right hand curled against his jaw, and he let out a soft laugh as he lowered his eyes, "I say the first person to die will be Mu Sicheng."

The moment he said this, a burning sensation suddenly came from inside the gloves Bai Liu was wearing, his fingertips burned and his expression froze as he instantly turned them into his wallet.

The wallet was opened and Bai Liu saw the soul note with Mu Sicheng on it burning fast and then turning into ashes.

Bai Liu pauses as he maintains the position of opening his wallet.

The ashes drifted down the cracked seam of the old purse and fell to the ground.

"Bai Liu, do you know what you look like now?" Bai six's eyelids dropped indifferently, his mouth tilted with a very light smile, "You look like a tramp who dropped an insignificant coin, and then fumbled around on his knees looking for it."

"- a poor tramp with only so many working coins, and who kept them unused in his wallet because he couldn't be bothered to keep them, and looked after each one to shine."

"But as much as you look after them, coins are just coins, they are only worth so much and don't increase in value because you can't part with them, rather they will take up space in your wallet."

"They are not worth keeping in your purse, make room for them and give up these burdens."

"You'll be able to fit more, and more valuable, notes in your wallet."

Bai Liu flung his hand violently to the right, throwing out the white bone whip, his emotionless mask of expression finally disintegrating completely to reveal a hideous interior: "Don't call them worthless paper money in front of me!!!"

"They are human, they are souls!!!"

The white bone whip was thrown hard, lifting all the monsters, and Bai six jumped down from the mountain of monsters high above him, he laughed and drew his black bone whip and threw it down at Bai Liu.

"It's a human being, it's a soul, so what can it be?"

Bai six smiled softer and softer: "It's just a toy for the gods."

"To exist or to perish is but a thought, a word, of God."

The black whip struck the white bone whip, and the unabated force pushed the whipping Bai Liu straight out and into the bottom of the well, where Bai Liu was shaken and his whole body scattered, and the sound of cracking bones came from him.

Bai six rolled up the whip with one hand, gathered it up and walked nonchalantly towards the fallen Bai Liu with a smirk in his voice: "- like now."

"I say it will be Muke who dies."

"-then he would really be dead."

On board the airship.

Cen Buming looked at the place where Mu Sicheng had fallen, his expression was frozen, as if he had not expected things to go in this direction. ...

Can't get over it.

Everything was out of control.

Muke's eyes swept to the spot where Mu Sicheng had fallen earlier, his mind stirred with emotions and confusion, but when he lifted his eyes and saw Bai Liu's still sleeping face, his mind was emptied of only one thought -

-- he wants Bai Liu to leave the game alive.

So the emotions were suspended and the mind was set in motion again under an almost cruel command.

Cen Buming's Sinner's Well skill has already been used once and the next CD is in thirty minutes, so no threat for now, but the Joker is clearly out of control, he has fifteen minutes on his skill CD and he can keep attacking Bai Liu and the others with his Punch for those fifteen minutes.

Muke gathered his thoughts and thought calmly - as an assassin, he was going to kill the most threatening opponent to his team.

-- just like Bai Liu's usual orders.

[System Alert: Player Muke uses skill (Flash Strike)]

Muke lifted his dagger and prepared to enter the flash, thinking that his look at the moment would be calm, cruel, even grim, but if he had a mirror, he would find his expression at the moment like the surface of a lake without wind and waves, very calm and composed -

--It's like Bai Liu's usual expression.

[I'm here, just leave it to me].

Bai Liu is always there, they don't have to worry about anything but bumbling and recklessness, growing up quickly in the most dangerous of games, and Muke only has to look back to see Bai Liu standing not far behind them, watching over them with a calm look in his eyes.

-- obviously a guy about his age, but always looking so reassuring.

Muke is a man who is terrified of death. From the moment he entered the game, his greatest fear was to die, and he would have knelt in front of a small TV to keep from dying, begging others to save him. Three months ago, he would never have imagined that he would be a one-man assassin and willingly be used as leverage to be thrown out by the other team over and over again in exchange for his death for the team's maximum benefit.

He hated that. As a heart patient who would only live for twenty years or so, he hated the idea of people sharing and taking advantage of his life, which was the most precious thing he had.

But Bai Liu can.

Because Bai Liu would never really let him die.

So he was really willing to die for Bai Liu.

Muke stepped into the glitter, as he had done before, headlong and righteous.

The next moment, Muke stepped out of the flash and appeared behind Daniel, his eyes cold, the dagger in his hand glinting with a sharp edge, Daniel was unable to react and was stabbed in the throat with Muke's falling dagger, blood gushing out and staining his clown mask.

"It's you?!" Daniel's face snapped, becoming twisted and angry as he realised the person behind him was Muke, " Muke ?!"

-- his most hated competitor!

An incompetent coward who covets the meaning given to him by the Godfather! A man who cannot live at all without his godfather!

Muke's attack was so intense that it took his breath away, and Daniel was caught off guard and soon covered in paint, but he was soon frantic too, and with a grin not unlike the one on his clown mask, Daniel gathered his sniper rifle and aimed it at Muke again.

"This bullet, which I have set aside especially for you, was also given to me by the Godfather." Daniel smiled slyly, "It would be an honour for you to die by this bullet, too, die when you deserve to die."

The sniper rifle in Daniel's hand suddenly emitted a silvery-blue glow, while the outer ring of Bai Liu's glove, shielded by Tang Erda and moving downwards, suddenly glowed in the same way.

Liu Jiayi turned his head to look at the outer ring of the glove and his pupils tightened - this was the outer ring of Bai Liu's glove that the residue from the furnace had refined when they had gone to Hua Ganzhong's place to refine the weapon, and they had used many methods to fail to remove it. The ring was the core of Daniel's soul sniper rifle, and Mu Sicheng mocked that the Joker was some kind of godly dog licker who couldn't get it off no matter what.

--It's like Bai Liu's soul is stuck to Bai Liu.

Liu Jiayi looked up sharply at Muke, who was fighting Daniel in front of her, and the moment her childish voice came out, she cried out, "Run! Muke!"

Tang Erda, who was covering Liu Jiayi's retreat, quickly realised what was going on and drew his gun, aiming it at Muke's back and firing through clenched teeth.

--- As long as he clears Muke out before Daniel does, Muke won't have his soul shattered!

[System Alert: Heretic Clown approaches Desire Core player Bai Liu, receives stimulus, skill changes - (Soul Crushing Gun) skill can be reset once, no cooldown required.]

The green light converged again at the muzzle of the gun and silvery rose bullets flew through the air Xiang Muke's head, Daniel's eyes glanced at the successive silver bullets and he did something crazy that no one expected, he let Muke's dagger plunge into his heart, turned in front of Muke and blocked Tang Erda's shot for Muke He then burst into a blood-curdling fit of laughter and pointed his gun at Muke's heart.

--shoot out.

"DIE!!!"

Muke's eyes remained calm for a moment, then widened and sparks spread rapidly through his heart.

"How dare you try to kill me!" Daniel, however, laughed and raged uncontrollably, two fierce emotions rushing across his face in a frenzy of madness, "You're just a tired man who won't live long, you're not even worthy to compete with me for a place next to the Godfather!"

As if one shot wasn't enough, he fired his sniper rifle at the limbs of the fallen Muke, who was bouncing on the ground as the Joker swept his body around and around.

"Die, die, die!"

Tang Erda, his eyes red with blood, wanted to stop this, what had happened to Su Yang, but as he approached, he saw Muke, who had fallen to the ground, turning his head with great effort, his expression still pale, his pupils already lax, and saying to him, word by word, in a muzzle.

[Take him away.]

[Leave me alone.]

Tang Erda stopped in his tracks, and after a two-second pause, he turned around, picked up Bai Liu with one hand and the sobbing Jiayi with the other, and strode down the road, his veins all rippling.

Muke has Daniel's memories! He guessed that Daniel's skills might be able to be reset!

He did it on purpose!

The moment he sees Tang Erda walk into the lift with Bai Liu and the doors slowly close, Muke finally relaxes the last of the nerves he had been trying to tense, his grip on the dagger loosening for a moment before Daniel steps on and crushes him, but he can't even feel it anymore.

Muke looked laxly at the top of the ship, his thoughts drifting far, far away.

...... has only survived so far, but apart from not being with Bai Liu in the championship, I don't seem to have any regrets.

He had once feared death so much, but in this moment he did have a surprising peace of mind, remembering the first time he had seen Bai Liu because he had laid him off. Bai Liu's dark eyes could not hide his dislike, but nevertheless held out his hand to him and said, "It's the second time you've seen me, but it doesn't look like you remember me. "

"But that's okay, we're in a brand new relationship now."

Muke was clutching Bai Liu's hand just so he could live a little longer. He was a coward who would have given up everything to live, so before he met Bai Liu, his mantra was always - [If I could do it all over again, I would never have been a heart patient, I would never have done anything. The]

He is bored with everything in his world and always tries to start everything over because he doesn't want to die and feels that by starting over he can avoid death.

But now, the moment death does come, Muke is in a trance-like state of mind, thinking...

-- If he had to do it all over again, he would have to have a heart attack too, go into the game with a heart attack, bawl in the game out of fear, then catch Bai Liu's eye with his desire to live the moment he passes by, then follow him again when Bai Liu reaches out his hand to him, and say to him --

-- I knew I was about to get the short life I dreaded most.

But I am no longer afraid.

I will be an assassin, brave enough to protect you until the end.

Please, take my cowardly soul, will you?

[System Alert: Player Muke's soul is broken, confirmed dead, exit the game].
