At the same time, the underground parking lot.
The door of the car next to Tang Erda's parking space was slowly pushed open.
The three of Mu Sicheng, who had been guarding the back, got out of the car. They were very fast but walked to the elevator and watched Tang Erda's fast descending elevator and finally stopped at the -4 position.
They looked at each other, Liu Jiayi used Su Chao's work permit to open the elevator, and then pressed the -4 button.
Liu Jiayi's gaze was fixed on the red siren that kept flashing in the elevator, Mu Sicheng's face was so black that it could be touched gray, and Mu Ke was silent.
"Tsk." Mu Sicheng spit out the suffocating breath that was held in his chest when he had been listening to Tang Erda and Bai Liu's conversation in the car just now, "Can I beat this Tang's surname later?"
"Did he say anything wrong?" Liu Jiayi asked lukewarmly.
Mu Sicheng was choked. In a certain sense, the Tang surname did not say anything wrong... Bai Liu is a guy with bad hair from head to toe...
But just... It's quite unhappy!
"But what if he is right? I am very upset." Liu Jiayi looked away from the alarm. She wrinkled her nose, and her face was rarely childish. "I will try my best to buy you time, you Beat my upset, too."
Mu Sicheng was startled for a moment, and then raised the corners of his mouth: "OK."
—————
On the fourth floor underground, Bai Liu quickly shuttled between different passages.
The two sides of the passage are all with strange shapes. The metal rooms with numbers written on them are all of the same style. Occasionally, they will make all kinds of weird sounds. After walking inside for a long time, it feels like walking in a maze. It is very difficult for a map to go out on its own.
What's more troublesome is that there are patrolmen at every corner.
Although these patrols were few people, the arrangement was very scientific, which prevented Bai Liu from entering the game smoothly. His entry into the game was always interrupted by these patrols who suddenly turned around the corner.
This made Bai Liu realize that this patrol layout was probably specially designed by Tang Erda to target [players].
Under the patrol of these ordinary people, it is difficult for [players] to enter the game easily.
Tang Erda first used [Magic Space] to make a small cage for Bai Liu, and after Bai Liu escaped from this small cage, he would enter a larger mobile cage under the layout of these patrolmen.
Bai Liu sticks to the wall, he adjusts his breathing, ready to try for the last time.
Bai Liu took out the coins on the hanging chain to enter the game, but when he was about to summon the system, a patrolman at the other end of his passage turned around. Bai Liu had to put down the coins and turned to enter another passage.
Sure enough, the [patrolman] at these turning points is equivalent to an interrupting device.
Bai Liu was chased by the patrolman behind him and ran hurriedly, and glanced at the signs of the left and right rooms—1097, 1096...
The number of the room where Bai Liu fled was 006, and it was over a thousand now, but he didn't see all the numbers in the whole process, it felt like a shortcut to a certain room.
… It’s not an illusion, these patrolmen are deliberately rushing him to a certain numbered room.
Bai Liu's footsteps stopped at the corner again, his eyes stopped at the end of the corridor, and he was rushed to a dead end.
The room number at the end of the dead end is [1087].
Tang Er, who watched all of this through the monitor, held up the communication device, and cruelly issued the command: "Every patrolman wear a breathing mask, I will turn on the waterproof mode, and then turn on the heresy [1087], the name [Swallowing Spring Eye]. The door of the room is about to enter the underwater mode, everyone, please be prepared—"
"—3, 2—"
The small windows of the metal doors in the rooms on all sides of Bai Liu clicked and closed one after another. The door of each small room sank and pushed out, forming a smooth metal wall on both sides of the corridor. The patrol opposite him was wearing a transparent one. Breathing mask, the last sound of the countdown came from the communicator—
"-1."
The door [1087] behind Bai Liu was slowly opened.
The clear, constant stream of spring water rushed out, and the rushing torrent and splashes were reflected in the eyes of Bai Liu who turned back, and swept him in an instant.
———
elevator.
The monitor in the elevator was smashed by Mu Sicheng as soon as they came in.
Mu Sicheng was a little tight: "There is surveillance inside this base, right? Huh, do we need to hide from surveillance or something..."
"It's unnecessary to enter the base." Liu Jiayi said indifferently, "Our goal is to take Bai Liu into the game quickly after sneaking in. Avoiding surveillance will delay our speed. If they want to shoot, just shoot, I don't care."
Mu Ke quickly said: "I don't care."
"...Fuck, but I have to take the final exam..." Mu Sicheng was a little depressed, "Can you take the test in prison if you are wanted, I don't want to make up the exam..."
Liu Jiayi didn’t hear Mu Sicheng’s complaint, and looked at these two people: “Let’s sort out the plan again. We don’t know what’s inside and we don’t have a map. In order to avoid being caught, we implement a coordinate jumping mechanism, that is If someone wants to catch you, you enter the game."
"After entering the game, you can get a logged-in twelve-digit coordinate number. When the three of us enter the game at the same time, we exchange dangerous coordinates, and then change the coordinates, and then go to the original coordinates and merge. We won’t go away, and we can get a path curve.”
"The three of us set off from three directions perpendicular to each other, which are equivalent to the z-axis, y-axis, and x-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate axis. We determine different coordinate points in different directions, and then connect them with the original coordinate points. After a few times, we can restore a complete path curve."
Liu Jiayi gestured around between the three of them: "Buildings are all regular. After we have the general curve of this building, we can restore a rough map. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Mu Ke thought for a second or two, "I have a good memory. I can help you restore the entire map with coordinate points."
Mu Sicheng looked dumbfounded: "..."
What are these few things? ! After graduating from the college entrance examination, he never studied the coordinate system!
Liu Jiayi squinted at Mu Sicheng: "Did you not understand?"
Mu Sicheng bowed his head depressedly and admitted, "Yeah."
The elevator made a "ding-" sound of arrival.
Liu Jiayi turned her head and looked at the elevator door calmly: "It's okay if you don't understand, just follow my instructions."
She turned to the elevator door that was opening, and gave an order: "Preparing for an attack, there are usually people guarding the elevator door."
The elevator door opened slowly and water poured in. Liu Jiayi quickly climbed onto Mu Sicheng's shoulders to avoid being flooded. She frowned and watched the swaying water rushing into the elevator.
The two patrolmen staying at the elevator door poked their heads in: "Are you a member of the second team who was urgently called to catch Heresy No. 006? Remember to put on a breathing mask and catch it with water—"
Their eyes quickly fell on Liu Jiayi, a child who obviously shouldn't be here.
"You are not team members-?!" The two patrolmen raised up their communicators in surprise and prepared to report, "Report, someone has sneaked in!" The fourth floor of the basement!
Before they could speak, they were strangled by Mu Sicheng and Mu Ke who was hiding by the door, dragged in, and put them in neatly.
Mu Sicheng unplugged the clothes and face mask communicators from the two patrols, and handed them to Mu Ke. They stood in the dangling water that flooded their bodies and changed their clothes with difficulty, and then patrolled the two patrols. The clerk put on his clothes and put it in the elevator.
Mu Ke pressed the -1 button, and the two knocked out patrolmen, wearing his and Mu Sicheng clothes, leaned against the elevator wall unconsciously as the elevator door closed and rose.
A questioning voice came from the communicator: "Hello?! What is the situation with an intruder?!"
Mu Ke took the communicator that Mu Sicheng handed him and then reported: "We found two unidentified intruders at the elevator entrance. We expelled them immediately. They are taking the elevator to the first floor and fleeing!"
After speaking, Mu Ke turned off the communicator.
Mu Sicheng came out of the elevator carrying Liu Jiayi on his back. He shook his hand with the water, curled his eyebrows and looked at the water that had almost flooded his shoulders: "What's the matter with this water?"
"It's time to change the plan." Liu Jiayi took off her goggles, her expression was cold: "Someone is trapping Bai Liu with water. I played a game with Bai Liu. He has a very special repellent to water. I think It is very likely that someone is torturing Bai Liu with water and asking him to explain something, we have to hurry up."
Mu Sicheng's face also changed. He looked at Liu Jiayi on his shoulder: "How fast?"
Liu Jiayi looked around for a week, and she looked at the gaps where the doors on the closed corridors fit each other: "Someone converted this floor into a sealed environment, and then released water to submerge the white willows that escaped, but this also makes this kind of accessible. The corridor environment is a lot like a sewer."
Liu Jiayi lowered her head and "looked" at the swaying water: "Bai Liu should be near the outlet of these sewer pipes, so we have to find him faster, and there is no need to use the more complicated coordinate system method before."
"I understand." Mu Ke responded quickly, "Water flows, right?"
Liu Jiayi nodded: "Yes, water flow."
"No..." Mu Sicheng interrupted the conversation between the two men humiliatingly. "Can you occasionally say something that a man with an intelligence of seventy-four can understand?"
Liu Jiayi said silently: "It means that we can judge the location of the water outlet by the direction and sound of the water, and then find Bai Liu."
"How to judge?" Mu Sicheng still didn't understand, "This can't be pinpointed, right? The water here looks messy, and it's not just a small stream..."
Liu Jiayi handed the goggles to Mu Sicheng and interrupted him: "Hold it for me."
Mu Sicheng took it confusedly, and then Liu Jiayi took a sharp breath and plunged into the water. Within a second, she floated up again, pointed in a direction, and then turned her head and "looked" a little disgustedly. Mu Sicheng's direction, it seemed that he didn't want to spend more time explaining this to this Han Han.
"In the water, I can judge the position of the water by the sound of the water and the direction of the water flow." Liu Jiayi made a gesture to follow me, "and the position where you are standing is blocked by the water flow, and there will be a backflow around you. There will be sound, so can I. Rely on this to determine whether there is anyone in front."
Mu Ke looked at Mu Sicheng, and he compassionately added an explanation to Mu Sicheng who was still a little dizzy: "It's like a fish discerning the direction of water flow through the somatosensory side line of its abdomen."
Liu Jiayi nodded: "It's almost what I mean."
"Why do you even know this?!" Mu Sicheng looked at Liu Jiayi who was undulating in the water in surprise, "Hey! This is the real world! Are you a human or a monster?! This is a super power! "
Liu Jiayi didn't answer Mu Sicheng's words, but just gave him a blank look, turned around and swam into the water freely like a fish entering the water.
She knows this one because she is inherently invisible, and her senses are several levels more sensitive than normal people.
Another is that she is very used to living like a fish in the water.
When she was a child, Liu Jiayi was often thrown into the weir pond by her father to fish. In order to get enough fish, the man mercifully let her go. In order to chase the cunning fish, Liu Jiayi burrowed in the mud, gradually Evolve the perception ability like a fish.
She has always hated the ability she has, but this is an exception at this moment.
"No matter who made the decision to release the water." Liu Jiayi touched her face, she threw away the drops of water from her hand, her body was up and down in the water, her tone was calm and cold," he was about to torment Bai Liu with this water thing. , It also made it easy for me, a blind man, to use water to find him."
—————
"—148, 149, 150—all right, drain."
[1087] The door of the room was closed, the walls on both sides of the corridor were loosened, and water overflowed from the gaps in the walls.
Bai Liu coughed and floated out of the water.
He bowed his head and knelt on the ground, arched up and choked hard, and his white shirt was wet and pressed against his trembling shoulder blades.
Bailiu's complexion will reveal an inorganic whiteness after being soaked in water. Because of lack of oxygen, his fingertips even turned blue, and his chest was also violently ups and downs. The three-minute suffocation experience made him completely collapsed.
Soon Bai Liu limp, he opened his mouth wide and fell on his back to the ground with his eyes distracted, using his lungs to grab the hard-to-reach oxygen.
But it felt as if the oxygen could no longer enter his lungs by breathing hard, Bai Liu looked like he was about to go into shock.
"How does it feel to soak in water for three minutes? Are you still used to it?"
Tang Er's voice came from the communicator in the hands of the patrolman at the end of the corridor unhurriedly: "It is said that the person with the longest breath in the world can hold back for thirteen minutes. Would you like to try Bai Liu?"
"Are there any bad memories that remind you?" Tang Erda's voice was low, "have you figured out how to explain the plan of rose dry leaf gas?"
"Death cannot make you compromise. You are not afraid of death at all, so I will not threaten you with death. Now I will give you two choices. The first one, after honestly explaining the solution of rose dry leaf gas, I will give you one. The money that makes you satisfied, if you don’t go back and do what you should do honestly, we won’t interfere with you again.”
"The second option is that I will lock you with this [Swallowing Fountain]. I will empty you every one and a half minutes to three minutes. You can’t die, but you have to keep going. Soaking in water, you should be familiar with this feeling of suffocation, right?"
Tang Erda chuckled unclearly, and his tone sank: "After all, the dean of the private orphanage back then liked to educate you like this. You are too bad, and you have been badly bad since you were young. She wants to lead you back. There is a good way, so I often educate you like this."
"Unfortunately, no matter how harsh she educates you, you will not change or show any expressions. As a person who loves torturing others by nature, Bai Liu, you should know very well that educating such a child is It's very unfulfilling." Tang Erda dragged his tail tune, he was as peaceful as he was doing training for a death row prisoner.
Bai Liu put his arm on his eyes to cover the dazzling white light at the top, his breathing gradually fainted.
Tang Erda continued: "So she changed a lot of ways, and finally found a way to torture you will struggle, and that is to let yourself—"
Tang Er's words were interrupted. It was the struggling Lu Yizhan's voice. He roared hoarsely, trying to silence Tang Er's voice. Don't let him continue to say: "Don't say it! He has forgotten it! Don't make him think of it anymore!!!"
But Tang Erda raised the volume and continued speaking coldly. His voice was like an extremely sharp thorn, piercing severely into Bai Liu's brain that was still blank and groggy after suffocation.
Bai Liu frowned infrequently. He subconsciously rejected what Tang Er Da was saying. This rejection even made his head hurt like it was about to crack.
"Have you forgotten all Bai Liu?! No one pushed you into the water at all! It was you who kept burying your head in it!!"
"Because someone took the blame for the bad things you did. Someone accepted the punishment from the teacher in order to protect you, but the teacher missed when punishing him. He was constantly pressed into the bottom of the water and was tortured. I had to drown in the pool of the orphanage."
"His body sank to the bottom of the water, and you kept burying your head in to see his corpse under the water, trying to pull him out."
Tang Er's tone sank to the bottom: "—Bai Liu, why are you afraid of water? You are not afraid of water at all. You are afraid of seeing the corpse in the water. Do you remember who he is?!"
Lu Yizhan struggled with all his strength, trying to stop Tang Er from fighting, his voice was heartbreaking: "Don't tell him!!!"
Tang Erda's tone was low: "His original name was Xie Ta, but in this timeline, you have forgotten him and treated him as Lu Yizhan."
"Do you still remember the face of Sheta you saw when you were submerged, whether it was with you by your side or staring at you from the bottom of the water!"
"Really Sheta has died for you, you remind me of it!"
Thanks... Tower...
Bai Liu saw a dazzling white light in the suffocation of dying.
In the white light flashed countless memories that had already been forgotten by Bai Liu intentionally or unintentionally.
Memories turned into fragments and flooded in white light, shattered like a picture book torn apart by people, scattered into pieces, black and white, or the corners of a color page, with another person's forgotten on it. Fragmented silhouette.
Then in Tang Erda’s cold voice, these originally vague or forgotten memory corners were reassembled in Bai Liu’s mind into complete, page by page pictures, and then it was like a revolving lantern before death. Beginning in front of his eyes, with the noise of years and months, replaying frame by frame.
Human memory can deceive the owner.
When you can't bear the intense emotions contained in your memory, your memory will be thoughtfully corrected automatically, allowing the owner to pretend to be nonchalant and use a disguise to continue living peacefully.
In layman's terms, it is self-deception.
The memory was automatically cut into a shape acceptable to Bai Liu, stored in Bai Liu's brain, and would not easily change back to the original shape until the last moment.
The face of that honest and simple Lu Yizhan was erased in the white light of long-term memory, and turned into another face, Bai Liu's familiar and unfamiliar face.
The frame of that face is beautiful, but it always seems to be very long. Some curled hair hangs down to cover his eyes, but the exposed lips are still beautiful and delicate, which is a very eye-catching look.
He turned his head to look at Xiang Bai Liu from the forgotten memory, and whispered his name, Bai Liu, long time no see.
