Chapter 579: The Drowning Man from the Future

The well of sinners.

He stepped on Bai Liu's shoulder and pinned him to the bottom of the well, looking down at Bai Liu's expression and raising an eyebrow in amusement.

"Let me guess, on your face, is that water from the bottom of the well, or is it your tears?"

The soul notes in the old wallet burned to embers, silently extinguished in the shallow water at the bottom of the well. Bai Liu closed his eyes and a tear slipped from his left eye, falling into the water at the bottom of the well with the ashes.

"People cry, because of their feelings, right?" Bai six smiled gently and kindly, "That's the answer you gave me ten years ago."

"In you, feelings seem to be something of value, but at the moment, I see only that they make you weak, they make you afraid, they make you miserable -"

"You bought them, for two hundred and ten points, but you paid much more than that."

"- It's already a bad deal, Bai Liu ."

Bai Liu draws his hand out with a white-bone whip, knocking Bai six back as he raises his head, his hair spreading in the fight, the ends dripping down.

Bai six smiled and tilted his head, "A murderous look."

"I do strongly encourage you to kill me, but before that-"

Bai six also drew his black bone whip, he laughed lightly and looked sideways at the white bone whip in Bai Liu's hand, "You can't kill a god with something like that and weak feelings."

The white bone whip came out of his sleeve and shot straight at Bai six's face like an arrow from the well water.

The blood spilled out, and Bai six was shaken by the blow, but he only stood for a moment and pulled out the bone whip that had been inserted into his shoulder, smiling with increasing satisfaction.

"Has it come to the point where you can hurt me with something like that?" Bai six smiled softly, his eyebrows arched, "True to form, my chosen heir."

After Bai six pulled out the bone whip, his wound was still oozing blood, but it soon healed.

"But still, a friendly reminder that this is the backstage of the system, beyond the world line, which is already the domain of the gods."

"Once again, all mortals are as fragile as ants, and can be reduced to ashes with a single word or thought."

Bai six looks down at the ashes seeping out of her old purse.

"You can't kill me, not as much as you can hurt me in this place with such a rudimentary weapon, how does that sound in your human terms?"

"-with mortal strength, can you compare yourself to the gods?"

Bai six seemed to find the phrase very amusing and read it with a smile.

"Interesting points, but I have to regret to tell you that this set of ideas cannot be generalised here in the Evil One."

"In this world, the evil gods are the amalgamation of all human desires, and no human can overcome their own desires, so no human can overcome the evil gods, so unless you are willing to take over as the new evil gods, you cannot leave here with human power, and then you will have to watch them outside in order to protect you --"

"-one after the other died."

Bai six's eyes were half closed and he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, who is it now?"

"I think it was Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda ?"

Liu Jiayi hastily covers Bai Liu's heart as she looks up: " Bai Liu's torso has hardened!"

"He's become like a statue!"

Because it's so far from the soul, that's what happens when the body and soul disconnect!

Tang Erda gritted his teeth as he drew his gun, "I'll surround Cen Buming and make him release his soul."

--Can't kill Cen Buming, if the other guy is cleared out of the game straight away, something will happen to Bai Liu's side whether his soul in the sin well is taken out of the game or the sin well stays in the space on the ship!

"Joker ......" Liu Jiayi pulled at Tang Erda, her hands and voice trembling but her expression doing her best to remain calm, "to lure the Joker away from Cen Buming or Bring Bai Liu's torso over to receive the soul, the outer ring of Bai Liu's glove will reset the Joker's skills and he'll be able to fire again."

"...... I'll distract the clown while you bring Cen Buming over."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath and calmly explained, "I'm too weak to move with Bai Liu or do the main attack against Cen Buming, but I can do roaming tasks like luring the Joker away."

"And now that Bai Liu is unconscious, I am the second tactician on the team and you, as the main attacker, should follow my orders."

Tang Erda's teeth are clenched: "...... but ......"

"There is no but!" Liu Jiayi tilted her head, her grey eyes glistened with tears, but her expression had calmed down, "Things are urgent, there is no better way now, it has to be this way first, the Joker has a fifteen minute skill CD, as long as you keep him away from Bai Liu, the Joker's skill cannot be reset, nothing will happen to me, as long as you get Bai Liu's soul from Cen As long as you get Bai Liu's soul out from Cen Buming, it's all over."

"I'm sure you can do this, Captain Tang."

Tang Erda's brain buzzed at Liu Jiayi's call of Captain Tang - Liu Jiayi had always had a problem with him because of what he had done before, like hating a relative he didn't like very much, never calling him uncle or honorific, calling him Tang Erda when he was in a good mood, and a big idiot or a big man when he was in a bad mood.

It was the first time the little girl had ever called him Captain Tang.

Liu Jiayi's voice began to tremble a little as she took Tang Erda's wrist in both hands, her palm cold: "I will believe in you as Bai Liu believes in you!"

"...... And if Daniel gets close to Bai Liu during your fight with Cen Buming, his skills can't avoid resetting." She shuddered and took a deep breath before standing up, "I'll have my poison skill ready to suicide out of the game in time, you don't have to worry about me."

"I don't have Mu Sicheng the monkey, and Muke the deadhead, then, then ......"

Liu Jiayi clenched her fists and raised her hand to wipe her eyes, her voice vicious, as if she were cursing, but with a sobbing tone: "- so stupid! To save Bai Liu, you didn't even give yourself a chance!"

Tang Erda eventually agreed with Liu Jiayi's tactics and silently picked Bai Liu up on his back and tied a bandage around his body before the increasingly rigid shell fell off.

"As soon as I get out, I'll quickly fire a Poison Swamp move skill to control the Joker, and you take your time to take Cen Buming away." Liu Jiayi explains the tactic with a strong sense of calm, "I'll try to delay the Joker's movement, but when I can't, I'll use the Poison skill on myself and kill myself to get out of the game."

"When the time comes, you will retreat in time and not fight for long." Liu Jiayi's tone carried a warning, "because neither will I. Without me to cover you, something could easily happen, so I will kill myself and you will have to retreat."

"You have to know how to keep your head above water, you know?"

Tang Erda nods in silence.

Liu Jiayi closed her eyes as she tried to relax her tense body: "The chance is only this once, but surviving is the most important thing."

"I'm a tactician who hates it when people go out of their way to do things outside of their ability and then die in front of me, you know me on that."

"Let's go!"

They reentered the first level.

The moment the lift door opened, Cen Buming seemed to be arguing furiously with Daniel about something, but Liu Jiayi's mind went blank and she was unable to listen to what the two men were saying to each other.

Even though she is blind, her hearing is always the best and she can easily hear every word of a conversation at this distance, Bai Liu even joked that when her eyes are better, she will have a unique advantage in hearing English in high school.

The grades will definitely be better than his English language scum.

At that time she answered with justifiable pride and contempt - that's natural, the score is at least twice as high as yours, Bai Liu.

Bai Liu would just look at her with a smirk and say - I only get 40s in English sometimes, and you get twice as many?

She would say, quite breathlessly, that you're just plain rubbish, were you asleep during your English exam?

Bai Liu smiles and says, "Maybe so.

Now Bai Liu is literally passed out behind her, but she can't stop smiling at all.

Is the sleeping Bai Liu so frightening?

The pupils of Liu Jiayi's eyes were grey and dull, and the moment she stepped into the lift, she waved her hand and said hoarsely to Tang Erda behind her, "Go!"

[System Alert: Heretic Liu Jiayi uses personal skill (Poison Swamp)]

Liu Jiayi's eyes were fixed, biting her lip as she carefully navigated through the fog, her pupils narrowing as she saw a green sniper rifle and quickly rolled to lean over.

"Cough ......" came Daniel's choking cough from the poisonous fog and he yelled in annoyance, "Come out! Little blind man! I know you let the poisonous mist out!"

Liu Jiayi hides behind a load-bearing pillar on the ship, calm as if it were a precision machine, constantly manipulating the swamp's toxic fog as it flows around Daniel, the gas separating him from Cen Buming and pushing him towards the lift.

--As long as we can get this lunatic to the next level, Tang Erda's side of the mission will be absolutely safe.

But to get to the next level, the range she put at the beginning of the poison swamp would be a bit out of reach, and then she would need to make up another poison skill to cover the range where Daniel is now active.

Liu Jiayi clicked on the panel, she looked at the antidote and poison skills for a moment, the antidote skill had long since gone into CD, she pulled out all the antidotes and took them to Tang Erda.

--There is only one poison skill left in the major.

The skill she used to kill herself.

Liu Jiayi felt that her mind and thoughts had never been so clear and calm.

From the tactician's point of view, there was no need to expend so many big moves skills for a player who was already unconscious, especially when two players had already been lost, in fact what she hadn't told Tang Erda before was that if this chance didn't work out, she should simply give up on Bai Liu.

It's not worth it.

Even if Bai Liu dies and she loses this tournament, there are guilds that want her, and there are guilds that want Tang Erda, and to be precise, Liu Jiayi wants to win the tournament and resurrect Liu Huai after getting the wishes and points, and that's the same with any guild. To be honest, if she joins forces with Phoebe, she has a pretty good chance of winning the title next year.

It's not like you have to follow Bai Liu to win the competition, so why do you have to save him?

From her personal point of view, Bai Liu is just a shameless, big bad guy who cheated her soul with two red bean cakes and asked her to find the money. This guy is a villainous persona in any way, with no truth in his mouth, always thinking about getting money, cheeky not to mention not supposed to have any feelings for her.

She is not really a fool, unlike Tang Erda Mu Sicheng Muke, who is not in her right mind, so why should she really go to this extent for Bai Liu?

It's not necessary.

[Which family do you choose?

Bai Liu sat beside her bed and calmly asked her, "There are two families who like you very much, go with whichever one you like."

[This braid look kinda suits you].

Bai Liu laughed at the messy braids the others had made for her, and she grumbled in frustration, holding her chin in her hands, as Bai Liu stepped forward and gently unwrapped them, giving her a neat and nice new whip: "But Jiayi still looks better like this."

[There's Phoebe on the island, want to come along?

Bai Liu smiled and said, "I don't think you hate Phoebe."

"Want to try and make friends with her? You don't have any friends your own age that you can play with yet, do you?"

Liu Jiayi stared fixedly at the panel for three seconds, she tapped on the poison skill and held the poison spray in her hand, not crying, not sad, calm as could be.

She is also a fool.

On the other side, Tang Erda overpowered Cen Buming almost explosively, fighting on Bai Liu's back like a frenzied, bloodthirsty beast, taking out two blockers in a matter of minutes, severely wounding a third, and beginning a tug-of-war with Cen Buming.

Tang Erda was shot by Cen Buming, who broke his left arm by Tang Erda, and the two hunters, on the verge of madness, fought on the ground as if they had lost their minds.

"Why did you have to kill Bai Liu!" Tang Erda shouted at the top of his lungs as he gave up on the gun and raised his fist and slammed it into Cen Buming's face, "He didn't do anything bad at all!"

"In his life, he's never done a single bad thing in his life, in his life, he's a good man!"

"He saved the children in the orphanage! He saved the people who were poisoned by the dry leaf rose! He saved all the members of the Heresy Authority on the plane transporting the heretics to the glacier! He saved all the people in Russell Cemetery!"

"He's probably saved more people than you as a second team leader!"

"Who the fuck are you to put him in a sinner's well!!!" Tang Erda's deep blue eyes burned with a furious and desperate light, and there were tears falling along with the blood on his fists, "He's not a sinner!!!"

"Put him out!!!"

Cen Buming was punched by Tang Erda until his face was dented, blood cascaded from the cracks and cuts, the hand with the death ring trembled, he clenched it and choked and kicked Tang Erda away: "...... Who said I wasn't letting go?"

"Get out of the way, I'm opening my skills!"

Even Tang Erda froze for a moment, puzzled and confused, and released his grip on Cen Buming's collar, he hadn't expected it to go so well, but Cen Buming really didn't seem like a man who would drive such a player at such a moment, and he saw Cen Buming grit his teeth and adjust his Death Ring two or three times.

...... What's going on is that from just now, there is no way to open the closed well of sinners.

It's his well, there's no way it would not even open for him, unless it was ......

--his subconscious thought that there was really a sinner in the well, and that this sinner was a sinner who must never be opened and let out.

And this man was, in his clear opinion, an unpardonable sinner.

Cen Buming's eyes sink.

Just now in the lift, the light was dim and overgrown, and he didn't really see very much of what was going on, except to see a hand appear from his well and pull Bai Liu's soul back, which he had previously thought was the work of some heretic disguised as a sinner he had put in the well, but now that he thought about it, it could only be a guy.

-- Bai six.

Tang Erda watched as Cen Buming lowered his hand, his expression turning condensed again as he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Cen Buming's head, "Open the sin well and let Bai Liu out."

Cen Buming was silent for a while, he looked up, "I ...... can't put Bai Liu ."

--because there was another sinner in the well who was highly similar to him.

He cannot fully distinguish the difference between Bai Liu and Bai six, and the well of sinners formed by his desires and subconscious mind will only judge them both as sinners, so he cannot open it.

"So ...... you were just teasing me, were you?" Tang Erda's expression grimaced as she raised her hand and threw the butt of her gun at the side of Cen Buming's face, "Your well why can't you open it?!"

"Open it!"

Tang Erda stared at Cen Buming, then he suddenly realised something and jerked his head towards the dissipating swamp of poisonous fog - Cen Buming was stalling for time!

Jiayi's big move is running out of time!

But Jiayi never gave him the signal!

From the edge of the poisonous fog, Tang Erda sees a scene that causes him to suffer a cardiopulmonary arrest as Liu Jiayi, holding a bottle of poison spray, hides in the looming fog and slowly forces Daniel back into the lift - and then puts one foot in the lift herself.

This is not the same tactic Jiayi told him at the beginning!

Jiayi said at the beginning that she was going to kill herself with her poison skill, but now that she's used up all her skills to screen back and distract Daniel, soon Daniel's Soul Crusher skill cooldown will expire, and by the time she's in the lift room with Daniel, the poison skill cooldown hasn't expired and she has absolutely no way to kill herself quickly, and Daniel has a gun.

-- Liu Jiayi is sure to get hit with a soul-crushing gun!

"Little blind man, those are the only skills I remember you having." From the almost dissipating poisonous mist came the Joker's eerie laugh, "Now it's my turn to show off my skills."

[System Alert: Heretic Daniel skill is on cooldown, do you use your personal skill (Soul Sniper Rifle)?

[OK.]

In the dissipating fog, a gun with a green glow appears, aimed at Liu Jiayi, who is walking towards the lift.

As the lift doors slowly closed, Tang Erda looked blank as she saw Liu Jiayi, who had a gun pointed at her, turn to her side, look at him quietly and nicely through the gap in the closing lift doors, then suddenly smile sweetly and wave to him and Bai Liu with the natural gesture of a little girl going to school to say goodbye to her family, and she mouthed the words --Bye.

Captain Tang, brother of Bai Liu.

Tang Erda drew his gun and fired wildly at Liu Jiayi's back as the lift was about to close, while Cen Buming also concentrated, quickly transforming his death ring into a black pistol and firing at the fading green gun point.

"Aaaahhhh-!!!" Tang Erda went berserk, equipped with an entire monster book, shooting so fast with his spirit level down that he was just a stump, not caring anymore, his eyes red with blood, "LET HER GO!!!"

Daniel was also mad, and he chose to shoot at Liu Jiayi despite this intense fire coverage: "- you self-righteous, tired people!"

His blood-stained face was cruel and hideous, his apple-green eyes bursting with a shocking light in the darkness, and a heartfelt, delighted smile on his face: the

"All of you, to hell with me!!!"

"Without you, the Godfather can be my God!!!"

Green guns, silver guns, black guns, all firing at the same time, dense bullets weaving through the diffuse toxic mist, sliding out rays that enveloped the lift like an inescapable death cage.

Cen Buming's bullet sends Daniel's wrist flying, but he still shoots the green bullet that symbolises the shattering of a soul, which grazes the side of Liu Jiayi's face and instantly ignites into white fire, enveloping her grey eyes in flames.

She was trembling with pain, but at the moment, the little girl's hand was still on the button that closed the lift.

--she wanted to take the clown away.

This way the rest of ...... will be safe.

These are guys that she has given her all countless times to save ...... family and friends, and it makes no sense for her, as a witch, to let them die here.

She's a witch.

The witch said that tonight was a Christmas Eve.
