Chapter 580: The Drowning Man from the Future

Inside the sinner's well, the old wallet burns once more, bruised and battered, and Bai Liu, standing up once more, raises his head, water dripping from his jaw.

"This time you'll get hurt again." Bai six smiled at the Bai Liu, "No more witch's cure will save you."

Bai Liu clutched the white bone whip, which began to spread black from the end, and the blackness was so strong that in a moment it reached the end of the whip, and a silver-blue glow began to flow around Bai Liu.

"Wow." Bai six raised an eyebrow, finally smiling pleasantly, "Finally figured out you're ready to take over the position of evil god, have you?"

Tang Erda shot Liu Jiayi's back as hard as she could, Liu Jiayi fell in his gaze, his expression hollow as he staggered to stand but stumbled twice and failed to do so, the doors of the lift completely shattered in the bombardment just now, unable to close, Daniel's hand stuck on the edge of the lift, he had been blown off his right hand by Tang Erda, but he Daniel's hand was stuck on the edge of the lift, his right hand blown off by Tang Erda, but he managed to climb up with his left hand stuck on the edge.

"...... Only you are left." Daniel, bombarded with blood and flesh by Tang Erda, crawled hard on the ground, tilted his head up to look at Tang Erda, who was on her knees, motionless, and cracked her mouth with a grin that was crazy to the extreme, "Once I kill you, the Godfather's last liability will be gone."

Tang Erda looked towards Daniel, who was only half of his body, dragging himself across the floor, his mind blank, unable to think at all, his face splattered with all kinds of human blood, and muttering and repeating Daniel's words.

"...... It's just me."

A metre in front of Tang Erda was the blood of Mu Sicheng when he had been shot, the lift was covered in blood, it was impossible to tell whether it was Daniel's or Jiayi's, three bodies of deer hunters were at his feet, Cen Buming had been shot by him when he had just gone berserk and was now lying dead or alive on the floor, looking up from the middle of the chaotic and dilapidated corridor There was a pool of blood and a trail of bullet holes from when Muke had been shot by Daniel in his frenzy.

Indeed ...... is all he has left again.

Everyone, all dead.

Tang Erda slowly lowered his gun, his expression hollow and still.

Daniel's consciousness is blurred, but there is a belief in his heart that is so insistent as to be unbelievable, a twisted faith that sustains his tattered body as it moves, and he looks into Tang Erda's disoriented dark blue eyes and laughs contentedly.

"Ahem, once you're dead, the Godfather can give it all up and become a god!"

--that beautiful dream he had last night, that's what it told him.

Daniel lifted his bloodstained face, his clown mask having fallen off in the chaos of the fight, revealing a young, untouched face, looking straight at Bai Liu with those clear apple-green eyes and a smile as attached as a beast that has found its support, his expression almost somewhat naive as he reached out, propping himself up with only half a hand, to touch Not far away, his eyes are closed to his godfather.

"padrino (godfather) ......"

"Daniel sara'il tuo fedele credente (Daniel will be your most faithful believer)."

[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 clown drew his gun and aimed it at Tang Erda again.

The well of sinners.

In the old purse, before the last soul note had finished burning, the next one began to burn again, the ashes leaking through the cracks like black rain falling to the bottom of the well of sinners.

Bai Liu's neck was wrapped in a whip and he hung him up as if he were a dead corpse, his limbs dropping helplessly, except for the old wallet clutched in his right hand.

The blood kept seeping down Bai Liu's body, falling to the bottom of the well and spreading out, and the white bone whip that had fallen into the well water not far away was blackened to the point where only a thread of white remained.

"What are you hesitating about?" Bai six stepped on Bai Liu's bone whip with a pleased smile, his eyes downcast as he whispered, "What value can this thread of your persistence, this thread of your conscience, be of any value if you keep it?"

"The bum who has trouble filling his old wallet, the bum who diligently controls himself as a good man, will only end up like this."

"Any bad man in this world can trample on your most precious possessions and reduce you to nothing, as I have done."

"You were born to be a bad person, the worse you are the more valuable you are, the worse you are the richer you are, but instead you waste your talent to be a good person who is honest and over the top."

"Being the bad guy, you can be the factory manager who monopolises the world's perfume industry, the investor who invests in an orphanage to renew his life with children, the property developer who controls all the land, the mayor who sacrifices the pain of teenage girls to develop his town," Bai six explains in slow, unhurried tones, "they're all very rich, fulfilling their wishes, and doing well."

"And by being good, you can only become a heretic like Lu Yizhan, Cen Buming, Tang Erda, and even a woman like Fang Dian, who is so powerful that she is almost a god, has to sacrifice pain constantly under my control as a bargaining chip because she wants to save people."

" Bai Liu, if you had chosen to be the bad guy in the first place, you would have been the evil god of everything by now."

"Be a good man." Bai six's smiling eyes arched, "You'd just be a poor bum."

"- a result that I didn't tell you at the beginning when you entered the game by way of skill names?"

"This is the game of the evil gods, and in a world where evil gods exist, good people don't end up well."

"-because the evil gods find that, well, boring."

Bai Liu raised his head slowly, his voice hoarse from being strangled by the whip and the bone spurs sticking into it, but still clear: "I don't find good men boring."

"They ...... cough." Bai Liu grabbed the whip strangling his neck and pulled it brutally outwards, blood spurted out, but he still didn't stop and replied hoarsely, "are very valuable souls."

"I have enough of them in my wallet."

"With them, I never felt like ......" Bai Liu lifted his eyes, his features twisted and livid with anger and extreme emotional shock, his eyes were unshed tears, " ...... what a bum!"

"If indeed you have to become an evil god to put an end to this uninteresting world you have forged."

Bai Liu took hold of the whip, which became pitch black throughout, and he raised his eyes, which turned a thorough silvery blue: the

"Then I will become an evil god."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu Desire Core changed, Monster Book changed - (Poor Tramp) changed to (Heir of the Evil God)]

[Player Bai Liu Liu Equipped with Monster Book Identity - (Heir of the Evil God)]

Bai six looked at Bai Liu, shrouded in a silvery blue glow, and curled his lips: "Finally, this moment has come."

"My heir."

A black whip snapped out of the system ship, knocking Bai six out of it. Bai six retreated to the ground and Bai Liu stepped on the floor of the ship, backhanding another whip at Tang Erda, who was on the ground with grey and white flames burning.

[System Alert: Player Tang Erda has zero life and is out of the game.

Bai Liu didn't stop when the whip swept, but continued straight and hard at Daniel on the ground.

Before Daniel could see Bai Liu, the manic grin on his face turned into a confused expression, "Godfather?"

"I am not your godfather." Bai Liu looked up slowly, his silver-blue eyes had an inorganic coldness to them, and raised his hand, flinging the whip straight down, "-that was just your dream, I never served as your godfather."

"You're just a clown that needs killing in my eyes."

Daniel's pupils constricted as he reached out to grab Bai Liu, but only caught the whip that Bai Liu flung at him, which threw Daniel's broken upper body straight out of the ship. Only his apple-green eyes remained fixed and unbelieving on Bai Liu, who was calmly looking away from the ship.

"Godfather." Daniel said slowly, mouthing his words as he held out his hand like a drowning man begging for help on the shore, his eyes laxly opening, "...... help me."

Bai Liu stood at the broken window, not moving, watching Daniel drift away and disappear into space.

[System Alert: Player Daniel has zero life, exit the game].

Bai six raised his eyebrows at the scene and stood up straight and pulled back as he smiled up and bowed courteously in acknowledgement, "You already have the power and necessities to become an evil god."

"The rest will need to be granted to you by the temple."

"I'll be waiting for you at the shrine."

"I hope the next time I see you, you will still retain your sanity."

With these words, Bai six pulled back the hatch and, with a soft laugh, fell backwards and disappeared without a trace.

The hatch closed again, and Bai Liu looked ahead at the wretched deck of the ship before him, motionless, and only after making sure that Bai six had really left did he take a step forward, dragging his long black whip.

Bai Liu swayed a little, quickly settled, then took another step, swayed again, and on the third step, as if drained of every ounce of strength, Bai Liu held onto a nearby wall, lowered his head and gasped for breath, his silver-blue eyes hollow.

The black dye on the whip pulsed as if it were a substance, spreading from his fingers at the end of the whip, upwards, attacking every inch of Bai Liu's sanity.

Bai Liu finally knew what the dye was that dyed this black whip black.

-is desire.

It is from 658 world lines, from all the players who have entered the game, and from the strong desire of the humans who will enter it.

This desire, using the bone whip as a medium, does not stop for a single moment, pouring into Bai Liu's brain and body, as if these intense desires, which have no place to go, continue to find a vehicle, otherwise they would drive the hosts that generate them insane.

Bai Liu is the vehicle for this.

[I want to be promoted so badly, so badly, if only my boss had suddenly died in a car accident, annoying old man, why isn't he dead yet, I want to run him over with my car].

[...... don't want to attend class, the class teacher has to be seriously ill, right?]

......

All sorts of desires converge, enrich, and follow the whip into Bai Liu's brain. He breathes hard, trying to quell the effect they have on him, but no sooner does he take a step than more enters his shell and affects his soul.

He felt that his soul had become a vessel, on the verge of being stretched to transparency and losing its original shape by these desires that would not never cease to arise.

Is this the reason why evil gods do not have souls?

The soul simply cannot maintain its usual shape under the impact of such desires, and if it is to be maintained it must resist the effects of these desires on him.

But these desires are like water spreading from all sides, leaving one breathless, unable to climb the shore, without even a break, and resisting desire is like a person who has no driftwood and has been struggling to drown in the sea, but if one lets oneself sink into desire and falls to the bottom of the darkness ......

He really will be the next Bai six.

Bai Liu slowly slid to the floor, his back against the wall, his head tilted back and breathing hard, his eyes clouded and unfocused like a man about to drown, his hand holding the whip slowly dropping to the floor and touching the reverse cross key held in the hand of the fallen Cen Buming.

He turned his head sideways and looked at the key.

--This is the key prop of this game and the last prop he needs to become an evil god.

It is also the game they landed into and stayed with him until the end, trying to guard what he found.

Bai Liu took hold of the key and, propping himself up on his knees, he stood and stumbled, holding onto the wall, towards the hatch on level 0.

The moment he grips the key and pushes in the hatch, level 0 slowly opens and the first level of the ship, starting at Bai Liu's feet, gradually lights up with circuits, each closed heresy opening one by one, turning the otherwise gloomy first level into a brighter one.

Bai Liu lifted his head.

The moment he saw what was before him, it was as if his brain, which had been blurred by the onslaught of desire, was emptied of everything but the sight before him, and the emotions that very slowly came up and the heat at the edges of his eyes.

All around him were the souls of the players who had entered the game. They were, or more appropriately, they were strange shapes, like monsters, like human-like creatures, with pupils filled with lust, lust that could even be felt by Bai Liu through the vessel, their eyes rolling and staring at Bai Liu, their mouths cracking open as if they were looking at some mouth-watering delicacy, and before The moment Bai Liu turns his head and looks at them with those silvery blue eyes, the monsters, or rather the player's soul, shrinks in fear.

They are held in pillar-shaped containers filled with silvery-blue liquid, just as Bai Liu did when he first saw Tavel in the small town of Siren.

Bai Liu breathed lightly as he walked forward, reaching out to the humanoid heretical souls numbered in single digits and reaching out to touch the surface of the already empty vessels.

Tears slipped from silver-blue eyes.

The columnar container of souls shattered into millions of fragments, floating slowly in the silvery-blue, seawater-like liquid, like the bubbles of a drowning man's breath remaining inside, telling those who are still alive that their souls are here.

Looking in through the large hole broken off the edge of the ship, the floor is crisscrossed with the blood of different people, and the deep blue of space is orbited by 658 world lines that run slowly along some set trajectory, converging towards the central behemoth of a system backstage ship.

The silver-blue universe is drifting with glittering flecks of dust and debris, there are traces of wilting roses withering, the mermaid seems to wake up from the bottom of the sea, looking at the mirror exploding over the fire and sighing, the sun in the polar sky overlaps by a quarter, following the last afterglow, the fallen god peers into the future, it sees the gun that shattered its soul falling into the sea.

The evil god named Vagabond has finally made his way here.

He had uncountable soul notes, money, honours, laurels and victories already to wear on his head, he had it all.

He lost his best friend, his family, and himself.

He has nothing.

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has gained control of the system ship].

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for passing the game.

Lu Yizhan was distracted several times during the game, and if Charles hadn't wanted to lose so badly, he might have had a tough time, and as soon as he finished the game, he rushed after Spades, who was in the lead, to the No. 2 viewing pool.

Lu Yizhan's heart sank as he entered viewing pool 2 and saw the whispering, confused audience and the blackened screen.

--Something's happened!

As soon as Spades scanned the big screen, his eyes glazed over and he jumped down with his backhand on the audience, directly next to Wang Shun in the centre of the viewing pool.

"I don't know!" Wang Shun was also desperate, "Bai Liu, after they logged into the game, the big screen went black and the host called for maintenance several times, but no response at all!"

"Did anyone log out halfway through?" Lu Yizhan asked with a strong sense of composure.

Wang Shun shakes his head helplessly.

Du Sanying stares deathly at the big screen, deathly clutching his fingers, biting his lower lip and cowering in the corner, away from anyone.

"Someone's logged off!" The crowd shouted excitedly, "Which team is it!"

"The Deer Hunter's!"

"Wow shit, three people logged out at once!"

"Wouldn't that be a sure win for the Wandering Circus?"

"Look, look, look, someone else has logged out!"

"It's the deer hunter side again!"

"Holy shit, it's the Joker and the Executioner!"

"It's all cleared out, the battle is fierce!"

"The circus has won?!"

Lu Yizhan turned his head sharply to look over at the deer hunter.

For a moment Lu Yizhan and Cen Buming looked at each other, but Cen Buming looked away.

--This is what this guy does when he feels guilty.

Lu Yizhan's heart jolted, a long-lost feeling of fear and loss of control returned to him, and he looked, dazed and incredulous, towards the waiting exits of the wandering circus.

The moment Wang Shun heard that the other side was all cleared out, he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw two men slowly fall out of the boarding exit on his side.

One Liu Jiayi, one Tang Erda, scabbarded and double-blinded.

Wang Shun was stunned and before he knew what was happening, he and Lu Yizhan, who was running next to him, subconsciously rushed forward to catch Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda.

Before Lu Yizhan and Wang Shun could really catch the two men, they disappeared from their hands.

Wang Shun's mind went blank as he reacted to what had happened and looked up at Lu Yizhan across the room.

--This is exactly the same as the last time Lu Yizhan and Spades were hit with the Soul Crusher.

This also means that ......

"Their souls are not completely shattered." Lu Yizhan squeezed the words out almost through his teeth, his face completely pale, "...... but I don't know how shattered it is and if it will still wake up."

"What about Bai Liu?" Wang Shun heard his voice shaking as he asked the question almost in fear, " Bai Liu hasn't logged out yet, so is he also ......"

The audience was once again in an uproar.

"Someone else has logged out on the circus side!!!"
