The iron door swayed open, and Tang Er stood still in front of the door.
He seemed to have turned into a wooden sculpture in an instant, or, at this moment, he hoped he was just a wooden sculpture.
The factory worker pushed him twice in doubt, but Tang Er hit the man Gao Ma Da and he couldn't push at all. At this time, the "test paper" in the cage suddenly moved his finger and slightly moved towards him.
Leaning against the wall "testing the incense paper", the loose eye focused hard to focus on Tang Erda. He made a very faint, questioning, hoarse voice: "... Captain?"
With just such a soft sound, Tang Erda, who had been sinking in place, seemed to have been hit hard with a single shot. The pain was so painful that he almost gritted his teeth, and his hideous face could control his expression.
Tang Er's eyes were scarlet, and he was able to stabilize his body by holding on to the wall. He was looking at the people in the cage, or testing the incense paper.
Something drained Tang Er’s strength, leaving him exhausted, scarred, and completely unrecognizable. He could only rely on foreign objects to support his body. Step by step, he stumbled into this and kept trapping him. Trapped in this cage of Su Chao.
Tang Erda walked to the test paper, and at this moment, he could clearly see the whole picture of the other party.
Su Chao's entire face was "blooming", the roses in his eyes were as luxuriant as they were in a flower field, his face was full of flesh and blood lines, and he was wearing the uniform of the deputy captain of the dangerous heresy handling bureau, even All the badges are still carried.
The photo of Su Chao's work on the badge was stained with blood and looked dirty.
This face and this work photo reminded Tang Erda when Su Chao was shot by the clown, when the heart-piercing screams of the team members seemed to echo in his ears.
And Tang Erda looked at the video tape recording Su Chao's death with a blank expression as if his soul was out of his body, his brain seemed to be malfunctioning, and only one sentence echoed repeatedly—it would be fine if I was next to Su Chao. .
—It would be great if I were arrested together with Su Chao, it would be great if I was arrested instead of Su Chao, and it would be great if I was Su Chao.
If it is me who is tortured, it is me who hurts, and it is me who died, it will be fine.
—Why does it have to be Su Chao every time, every time
Must he be the most important person who doesn't dare to talk about so many timelines as a coward, dare not face it, dare not look at the most important person who says more than a word
Tang Erda closed his eyes, and the blue veins on the back of his hand holding on to the wall violently, his whole body almost unsteady.
Su Chao had a very faint, very faint light in his eyes. He didn't seem to feel that he was so painful now. The uneven skin on his face was pure. Seeing the trust and joy of Tang Erda, the captain, he seemed to Want to laugh.
But the split skin and muscles blocked Su Chao's smile.
So the corner of his mouth was half-bent, and he fell helplessly, only the tone was still cheerful: "It's really you, Captain!"
Su Chao tried to lift his hand to reach Tang Er's clothes corner, but he failed several times. Instead, his hand trembled because of excessive force.
Once again, when Su Chao raised his hand to fall, Tang Erda finally squatted down in silence. He lightly used his trembling hand, slightly, slightly away from a distance, and covered it in the void. Su Chao on the back of his hand.
Su Chao gasped weakly twice, leaned against the wall dying, looked at him with a half-closed smile, and suddenly turned his hand to hold Tang Erba's hand.
Tang Erda took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions. For the first time in this timeline, he did not refuse Su Chao's intimacy, but shook Su Chao back. The voice was hoarse and hard: "Well, the captain is here, come to rescue you."
"No, can't... Save me! Cough cough cough-" Su Chao's face appeared a little annoyed, but also helplessly funny.
Like every time he cooperated with Tang Erda before, he seemed to be distressed by the rough decision of his captain, but in the end he still had the patience to persuade the opponent.
Su Chao's speech sounded a bit intermittent because of his rapid breathing: "It's useless if you save me. I'm really dying."
Su Chao's eyes fell, and his tone of voice fell: "My family, parents, and team members didn't support it. They are all withered. Now I am the only one left, but I can't last long."
"I'm just not reconciled. I'm not reconciled to do nothing in front of this thing. I'm too rubbish." Su Chao's tone was slightly tranced. He raised his head, and the rose in his light-colored eyes was very clear, and he stunned. Tighter Tang Er hit the hand that he wanted to take away, "But you are not the same captain! You are the one chosen by the prophet! You can definitely change all of this!"
At this moment, Tang Erda seemed to condense all the memories in the timeline in this sentence.
【team leader! You can do it! 】
[Captain, I believe you! 】
[Captain, cough cough, as long as you live, we have hope! 】
Countless, all, different Su Chao with bloody, broken, pale, scarred, or bloody faces, all staring at him with relief and hopeful bright eyes, shouting His captain.
Then the next moment he died for him with a smile, the soul disappeared in the light in an instant, and no trace was seen.
Tang Erda watched Su Chao anxiously looking at his face in a vague way. For a moment, he felt that what he accepted was no longer Su Chao's entrustment and trust, but a desperate curse and distance.
Su Chao moved forward with difficulty. He leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Captain, listen, it doesn't make sense to save me. You are here, you should be promoted to the factory. Then there is the promotion of perfumer. Rose perfume has an antidote, but only every factory manager knows the antidote."
"As long as you are promoted from perfumer to factory director, you will know what the antidote is." At this point, Su Chao was a little breathless, he leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder and raised his head to rest, and then again He continued quickly, with a smile in his tone, "At that time, you can save these contaminated people."
Tang Erda couldn't tell how long he had been quiet before he said hoarsely: "...What about you?"
Su Chao didn't speak, but quietly leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder, closed his eyes and his chest rose and fell slightly.
Their tacit understanding did not require them to say anything. Both of them understood what decision Su Chao had made—Su Chao decided to sacrifice himself to test Tang Erda, so that Tang Erda was successfully promoted to a factory worker.
This is equivalent to letting Tang Erda kill Su Chao personally to save the others in this game.
Even this Su Chao is just a character in the game, just a fake Su Chao, but Tang Er can't help it.
"But Captain..." Su Chao leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder and opened his void eyes, as if mumbling to himself, "I can't save it anymore, I'm addicted."
"Captain, you have to look a little bit when you are a human being. Death... Human beings are going to die." Su Chao's tone was a little casual and indifferent. He seemed to be coaxing Tang to fight twice, "If I have to die. If you do, I hope my death makes sense to you."
"I'm actually really happy to see you before I wither completely, because it at least means that I have been struggling and painful like being stupid for so long, and the self-torture of unwilling to give in to rose perfume is meaningful." Su Chao said Tang Erda turned his head on his shoulder and looked at him tenderly, "My meaning is to wait until you, Captain."
Tang Erda could see that the cracks on Su Chao's face gradually deepened and fell off, blood oozing from the edge, and Su Chao reflected in his pupils became more and more like a rose.
More and more like a monster.
He has never seen life passing fast in a person's body so clearly.
Su Chao looked at Tang Er Da pleadingly.
Tang Er let go of Su Chao's hand a little bit, and then shook the hand that he actively let go. He lowered his head, his expression was so hoarse that he could hardly hear him: "... What should I do for testing?"
Su Chao laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Captain."
"That's right." Su Chao seemed to think of something important, and his face became solemn, "Captain, do you still remember the living heresy Bailiu that you caught and then escaped? Wait for you to leave here if you have a chance. Find him, please kill this man."
"It was this person who blew up the factory we were going to inspect on the day he escaped from the dangerous heresy processing bureau."
—————
In another cage separated by a wall.
At Lu Yizhan, it was hard to figure out that the white Liu in front of him really turned into Liu Jiayi. The two of them were not nervous, and they chatted one after another.
Bai Liu lifted his eyes and glanced at Lu Yizhan, who was sitting across from him: "Did I blow up the rose factory?"
"Yes." Lu Yizhan didn't seem to think he was talking about a very important topic, his body and tone were very relaxed, lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, "I and other Dangerous Heretics Bureau staff have seen it. Yes, I used my ten-year knowledge of you to pack a ticket and stand on the rose factory. The person who claims that he is going to blow up the factory is sure to be you."
"You said you were going to cause an explosion, leak the dried rose leaf gas, and destroy the world. I also had a few conversations with you, and finally determined that you are the one I know. You are right." Lu Yizhan said, facing upwards.
The timeline of the game "Rose Factory" is ten years later in the real world.
Bai Liu sorted out the timeline Lu Yizhan talked to him.
The explosion that caused the rose dry leaf gas to spread all over the world occurred on the second day after Bai Liu escaped from the dangerous heresy processing bureau.
And on the same day, Lu Yizhan and Su Chao, the deputy captain of the third detachment of the Dangerous Heretics Bureau, both came to the Rose Factory on the same day to investigate the factory that was forcibly closed but secretly restarted—this is Bai Liu’s newspaper in this factory. What he saw was basically in line with the reality that Bai Liu had predicted, and it was also consistent with what Lu Yizhan and him just said.
As for what happened after Lu Yizhan said, Bai Liu raised his eyebrows only after hearing a few words.
Lu Yizhan said that when they arrived at the factory, they searched for vessels suspected of storing dried leaf rose gas in the factory. The whole factory was very strange. The equipment was all available, but people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I don’t know where they went. .
They searched endlessly until the early morning, and found nothing except for some iron pots and distillation devices containing the residue of rose training.
At this time, the white willow appeared on the roof of the rose factory out of thin air, as if it had fallen from the sky, holding a big lama who didn’t know where it came from, and lazily shouting at the crowd below with one hand in his pocket—
Lu Yizhan said, comparing with a big lama with his hands to imitate the scene at the time: "I am an anti-socialist Bai Liu, because I have been laid off for more than a month. I cannot find a job or earn money. I am very sad. , I think the world will be destroyed together with me, so I will detonate this factory, let the rose dry leaf gas leak, and let everyone accompany me to finish the game."
Bai Liu was silent for a while strangely, and then asked, "Then the rose factory exploded?"
Lu Yizhan nodded honestly: "Well, then you completely disappeared. Because of this, for a while, the wanted order bounty from the Dangerous Heretic Processing Bureau reached 16 million. I was a little bit tempted."
Bai Liu squinted at Lu Yizhan lying on the bed: "Don't you think I made the explosion?"
Lu Yizhan was really sure that Bai Liu had done the explosion. As long as he could move, as soon as Bai Liu walked in, he would bounce off the bed and kill Bai Liu on the spot.
But now Lu Yizhan is still lying on the bed calmly and chatting with Bai Liu, which proves that Lu Yizhan feels that the explosion has nothing to do with Bai Liu.
Lu Yizhan was quiet for a while before speaking, "I'm sure that you are the one who called on the roof of the Rose Factory to blow up the factory. I am also sure that within 15 minutes after you finish speaking, the Rose Factory exploded and this happened. The perfume leak that endangers everyone."
Then Lu Yizhan gave a very mindless speculation: "But I don't think you did this thing."
Bai Liurao asked interestingly: "Why?"
Bai Liu rarely doubted Lu Yizhan's inferences about him. Lu Yizhan may be more familiar with him than himself, and he never lied to him.
Lu Yizhan said that the person standing on the roof was Bai Liu, and Bai Liu guessed that he was really him.
Lu Yizhan looked up at the top of the cage for a while as if in a daze, before answering Bai Liu's words: "Very unprofessional and subjective speculation, I believe you would not do such a thing."
Bai Liu squinted at him: "I never knew, would you still trust my character?"
Lu Yizhan let out a slow "Eh", turned around and glanced at Bai Liu lightly: "It's not because of this, I can't believe your character."
If it weren't for the strange lines on Lu Yizhan's face, their conversation would be as calm as usual gagging.
Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu: "But I believe in your trading ethics. You made a ten-year hot pot deal with me yesterday. There is no need to destroy the world before you have eaten it. This is a disadvantage. I don't believe you can do such a thing."
"Yeah." Bai Liu glanced at Lu Yizhan, "Although I think so, but other people don't think so?"
Lu Yizhan smiled, turned his head back, and sighed with emotion: "Indeed, I was the only person in the factory that went to think that the reason for the speculation was too subjective to persuade them, so there will be someone who will treat you later. High bounty."
"It's a pity that they couldn't make it anymore and they all left one by one." Lu Yizhan's expression finally became complicated, and he sighed for a long time. "There are still people in this world who can persevere in believing you, and hate you. There seems to be only one left."
The person who believes in Bai Liu is obviously Lu Yizhan. According to the evil taste of the game designer, if Bai Liu didn’t guess wrong, the person who hated him should be Su Chao—at this time, most of the test paper corresponding to Tang Erda is Su. Chao.
Lu Yizhan went on to say: "In the past ten years here, I have been thinking about the ten years I have known you, trying to find clues about who you are, so as to prove that I will not detonate roses to you. The factory’s speculation, while another person kept emphasizing the evidence, emphasizing that he saw you detonate the factory with his own eyes."
Lu Yizhan stared straight at the ceiling, his tone became very light and light, as if he was saying to himself, "What kind of person you are, has become the only reason for our survival."
"When I recalled the later period, I began to doubt whether you existed. Are you just a friend, a murderer, a kind of self-compensating salvation in order to stay awake because I am too lonely here. I know that you exist. At least I'm looking forward to it."
Bai Liu tilted his head calmly: "So what?"
Lu Yizhan complained and gave Bai Liu a blank look: "Sympathize with me anyway, I'm so miserable."
After speaking, Lu Yizhan was silent for a moment, and he smiled: "So for a while, whenever someone came in to test the perfume, I would ask them-do you know Bai Liu? What do you think of him?"
"It may be because I was very cooperative with the test, and they basically answered. I got many answers about [Bai Liu], but none of them can convince me that you really exist, and none of them can describe anyone I know. "
Lu Yizhan sat up on the edge of the bed with difficulty. He took two deep breaths and looked up at Bai Liu: "Now it's your turn to answer my question. Do you know Bai Liu?"
He looked straight at Bai Liu who was standing next to the bed with a good eye: "—What kind of person do you think Bai Liu is?"
"I know Bai Liu." Bai Liu said calmly to Lu Yizhan, who was gazing at his weakness and panting. A person kidnapped by the unspoken rules of morality in the world is simply a complete bastard. Coupled with a strong desire for money, it is a very dangerous person in every way."
"Yeah." Lu Yizhan nodded solemnly, "It's Bai Liu who I know is right, continue."
Bai Liu stared at Lu Yizhan for a long time before saying: "He is indeed your friend, so even if he is such a bastard, he will keep his deal with you-I won't detonate the factory, if I stood on the roof of the rose factory The person is indeed me, so there should be some situation that forces me to say that kind of thing and make that kind of choice, but I will not do things that go against the deal."
Lu Yizhan was taken aback for a moment, and he smiled heartily: "Yes, I believe that too."
Bai Liu stepped forward: "Okay, I've finished talking nonsense with you, teach me how to detect it."
Lu Yizhan was dumbfounded for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "You are too cruel, Bai Liu, I just heard the factory worker say that your guy's talent is likely to be tested once and kill me!"
"You might die here." Bai Liu glanced at Lu Yizhan. "But the real you will not die. Do you want to make a deal with me? I can stop the explosion that has already happened and save you and others. "
Lu Yizhan stared at Bai Liu for a long while, although he didn't seem to understand what Bai Liu was talking about, and he didn't know how Bai Liu could prevent this from happening—
—But he knows that at least 50% of the transactions that Bai Liu said were something he could do.
"Yes!" Lu Yizhan replied, his eyes lit up, "What is the transaction content?"
Bai Liu: "Invite me to eat hot pot for twenty years."
"In addition to the previous ten years, it has been thirty years! It's too much!!" Lu Yizhan screamed, "Look at me now, you may not live that long!!"
Bai Liu glanced at him: "Then, in order to make this deal with me, try to live until that time."
After Lu Yizhan was in a daze, he looked at Bai Liu with an indifferent expression and couldn't help laughing.
The people who care about are so oblivious-it's really me.
————
Su Chao grabbed Tang Er's hands, and he rarely showed such a regretful look on his face: "Captain, I and the other team members are regretting that they didn't carry out your orders seriously at the beginning, if they were grabbing Bai Liu's. You can kill him in the same day, so many people..."
His light-colored eyes were full of tears, and his voice was dry and broken: "So many people will not die because of Bai Liu's revenge, because of the leakage and spread of such things!!!"
"Captain, it would be great if I could prevent this from happening in the first place, it was all my fault..."
Su Chao seemed to be overwhelmed by some extremely heavy responsibility and emotion, and he slowly bent his body in front of Tang Er Da.
He seemed to be dozens of years old for a moment because of regret and self-blame. The joints on his back bulged on his thin back like a bead. They were skinny and unable to stand upright.
Tang Er clenched his fists-all this was too late for Su Chao in front of him.
But for him, it is still too late.
As long as he clears the customs in time, finds the antidote, and kills Bai Liu—all this he saw, Su Chao, who is so painful that he wants to die, all of this will never happen again.
Tang Erda calculated in his heart the time corresponding to the end of the game and the time when Su Chao just told him that Bai Liu caused the explosion. His eyes shot involuntarily-this is equivalent to Bai Liu going to the factory immediately after clearing the customs. explode.
You have to kill Bai Liu in the game!
He already knew that the antidote would be available after he became the director of the factory, and Bai Liu couldn't stay anymore!
