Bai Liu simply commented: "This sounds like something I would do in other timelines."
Tang Er shot him a glance: "If this is the case, then it is only one of the trivial ones among your many crimes."
He paused: "I can't remember it till now."
Bai Liu turned his head to look at Tang Erda: "What else happened behind?"
"... After Armand's death, Georgia regained his sobriety, but the death of Armand for his revenge destroyed him again. Georgia was distraught. He wanted to work but couldn't work normally. The Heresy Bureau had to force him. He took a long vacation..."
"After vacation, Georgia locked himself in Armand’s room and sat for a whole day. I visited him several times, tried to talk to him, and asked Bai Liu what he did to him, but he just didn’t know what to do to him. Talking to myself—it shouldn’t be like this, the future I see is not like this, it’s me who should die, it should be other people in the world, not Armand..."
Tang Er was silent for a while, he bit his cigarette holder and looked up at the four words "Golden Dawn" on the whiteboard:
"Later I asked his colleague if Georgia had ever said what Bai Liu did to him. His colleague told me that Georgia said that Bai Liu just showed him [future]."
"No one knows what Georgia sees [the future], but what happened next was beyond my expectations."
Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu destroyed the six secret strongholds of the Heresy Processing Bureau one after another, and robbed a lot of the high-risk heretics we contained. Although we successfully killed the clowns who came to destroy the heretics, we still suffered heavy losses. ."
"But the most terrifying thing about this incident is not the loss, but how Bai Liu knew about the secret stronghold of the Heresy Processing Bureau. The specific geographic location of the high-risk stronghold holding the special first-class red heresy has passed through various layers of torture heresy. Encryption, only Georgia knows, and it cannot be easily said."
"—Unless it's a person who Georgia completely trusts, and in Georgia's heart, this person will only be Armand."
Tang Er sighed lightly: "Although we don't want to believe that Georgia will betray the Heresy Authority and tell Bai Liu the location of the secret stronghold, out of caution, we still started investigating Georgia."
"Georgia passed 127 rounds of balance tests. We confirmed that he hates White Six and will never betray the heretical administration, betray peace and justice, but in the end, after weighing by all parties, he still temporarily retains Georgia's position. The investigation of Georgia on the surface went underground."
"The investigation of Georgia outside the game has reached a bottleneck, but within the game, I saw a reserve player wearing a mask suddenly appeared in the White Six's team. The offensive power is strong, and the murder is resolute and resolute. It looks like a killing machine. He is very similar to Georgia in all aspects of height, but what makes me most suspicious is his skills."
Tang Erda stared at Bai Liu for a long time, then turned his head to the side and inhaled a cigarette. He muttered, "His skill is a bow and arrow, called the bow of retrospect. It can trace the time of human flesh/body back to three hours ago."
"The time between Armand's death and our discovery of the body is exactly three hours."
Tang Er took two deep breaths: "I found Georgia and asked if the extra reserve member from Team White Six was him. He admitted."
"I don't understand why he chose to join the White Six team. Georgia passed the scale test. I am sure that he hates White Six in his heart and yearns for peace and justice, but I don't know why he wants to be one of White Six's hands. Handle bow and arrow."
"So I asked him why. Georgia said that no matter how hard he tried to redeem it, this will not be the future that leads to peace and justice, nor the future where Armand will exist. He wants to correct this future, and only Bai Liu There is a way to change this future."
"So even though he hates Bai Liu incomparably, he is willing to be a bow in the hands of Bai Liu that is stained with innocent blood for the right future. When Armand returns to his future, he will be guilty of his sins. Death, that is the right future."
During the conversation, the cigarette in Tang Er's hand had already burned to the end. Bai Liu handed an ashtray and opened his eyelids to look at Tang Er's who was suddenly silent: "What is the end of Georgia on this world line?"
Tang Erda put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray handed by Bai Liu without a word, turned his head and exhaled the last cigarette ring in his throat, facing Bai Liu: "He followed Bai Liu and won the league. A wish, I don’t know what wish he made, but he committed suicide the next day."
"Georgia died where Amand died. We found his body three hours later."
———
"I hope Armand can be resurrected in the right future."
In his sleep, Georgia saw himself covered in blood, kneeling in front of an invisible light and making a wish. Next to him was a rusty silver streamlined longbow.
He vaguely realized that there was an extraordinary existence in the light in front of him-a god-like existence.
God asked him: "Don't you need to live in the right future?"
Georgia saw that he shook his head: "I don't deserve to have such a future. I made an improper choice. I should be responsible for it. Death is the future I should have now."
So God asked him again: "You are a good winner, don't you want other people to exist in the right future?"
Georgia shook his head again: "The wrong future is caused by every choice made by everyone in this world, just as I should be responsible for my improper choices. Everyone in this world is the same. They should Take on a cruel future for your desire to indulge."
God then said: "The same is true for Armand, you are condoning his mistakes and giving him a right future after he made the wrong choice."
"This is your selfishness and desire, Georgia, this is your injustice."
Georgia closed his eyes and bowed his head for a long time in silence, blood falling from his long eyelashes to the ground, like tears of pity for himself.
"Yes, this is my selfishness as a brother. I know he did something wrong and he should be responsible for it. I only hope that all the sins are on me alone, not Armand."
"But I know it's impossible."
God said: "Both you and Armand should pay for your own desires and injustice."
"As punishment, you will always lose the future of having Armand, and Armand will never have the future of having your brother."
"Except for the moment you were born, you will become a pair of brothers who will run away forever."
Georgia wanted to wake up from this faintly disturbing dream, but no matter how he struggled, the dream continued, becoming fragmented and even more fragmented.
He saw that he bowed his head respectfully and half-kneeled in front of a person who was hidden in the darkness, and his bare white neck was covered with interlaced dark red welts.
The man slowly sorted out a black whip on his hand, and lazily lifted Georgia's chin with the toes of his leather shoes, so Georgia in his dream finally saw this man's face clearly.
Sitting on a large leather chair, this man has an extremely handsome and harmless Asian face, with a very friendly smile on his face, and a casual tone, as if chatting with him: "Georgia, I am very satisfied with you. "
"I know you did not deliberately submit to me, but your grades are really excellent." Bai Liu looked down and replaced Georgia's jaw with the handle of the whip instead of his toes.
Georgia's slender neck was lifted and collapsed to the extreme with Bai Six's playful malice, his Adam's apple slid up and down restrained, and the welt marks above the collarbone were obviously incomparable.
"In a game, you can kill more than a dozen ordinary players who have nothing to do with you without hesitation. You can also give me the information of the six secret strongholds. You have killed hundreds of your former players. Put it in front of you without blinking your eyes."
Bai Liu praised in a sigh-like tone: "Regardless of your looks or execution, you are as perfect as a machine."
"Someone praised you as a beautiful elf without emotions in the game." Bai Liu stretched out his thumb and stroked Georgia's emotionless face. "I agree with this point. You can't see the sacred and noble man at all. Captain Georgia looks like."
"It really surprises me that the death of a close person can bring you such a big change."
Bai Liu retracted his hand, and he held the whip thoughtfully: "I have experienced the same thing, but the only change that brought me is to see your face that is too similar to your brother. When I’m in, I can’t control my anger a little bit.”
His voice was sluggish and shallow, making it hard to imagine that he would give Georgia a slap in his hand when he was speaking.
But Georgia, who was kneeling, seemed to be accustomed to whipping him with Bai Liuhui, but he trembled forbearingly, and then bowed his head again.
"Let me think about it. When you shot the poor innocent people in the game this time, where did you attack them?" Bai Liu asked lightly, "I believe our Georgia captain must remember, right? "
Georgia's eyelashes trembled very slightly, and he replied softly, "I remember."
Bai Liuban closed his eyes: "You should be punished for your cruel killing and take off your clothes."
Georgia stood up and took off his clothes obediently. His body was covered with all kinds of undiminished welts, like a venomous snake going around his waist, abdomen and thighs, wrapping around his white skin and vomiting. letter.
Georgia was short of breath in his sleep-he realized in a daze that every welt represented that he had killed a person.
The man in front of him was torturing him.
This person knows that he will not feel pain from simple physical/physical whipping, but he will feel extreme pain because of his impurity, incorrectness, and injustice.
So whenever they play a game, when Georgia kills someone on the field, this person will ask Georgia to report the name of the person he killed after the game, and the position of the arrow that the person hit, and then the same The location gives Georgia Welt.
Bai Liu is using these scars and pains to constantly remind Georgia of a cruel fact: What I have done to you is not as cruel as what you have done to those people.
In order to hide the whip marks, Georgia wears a uniform with a long collar and zipper, which can be pulled all the way to the chin. After bearing Bai Liu’s emotional vent this time, Georgia stood firmly and put on his clothes, bowed his head and bowed respectfully to Bai Liu before exiting. Bailiu's room.
Georgia saw that he walked through the corridors without squinting all the way, walked to the door of a certain room, opened it and walked in, then immediately rushed into the toilet and vomited, vomiting and scratching his body painfully. Welt.
He seemed to want to spit something out of his body that made him hate himself, but he could only spit out clean water no matter what, and eventually the behavior of forced vomiting caused Georgia's whole person to convulse.
Georgia constantly tortured himself in various ways. He even used a knife to make marks on those welts, trying to deepen these marks to punish himself. Georgia gasped silently, tears constantly gushing out.
In the end Georgia saw himself collapsed on the bed exhausted, holding a pocket watch blankly, he seemed to want to open the watch, but in the end he just kissed the watch, closed his eyes full of tears, and fell asleep. went.
Georgia knew this pocket watch. He knew that inside the pocket watch was an old photo of Armand and him.

Bai Liu sent Tang Erda out of the room, and they chatted while walking down the street.
"I'm very curious. You detected that Georgia had betrayed the Heretic Authority. You must have told the Heretic Authority immediately." Bai Liu turned his head to look at Tang Erda, "How did the Heretic Authority deal with him?"
Tang Erda shrugged and put on his coat and turned around: "First, Georgia's position was banned, and then he began to investigate the cause of Georgia's betrayal. As a result, the investigation had just begun, and Georgia defected."
"At that time, there were two opinions in the Heresy Administration. The first said that Georgia was contaminated by Bailiu with some kind of heresy, and the spiritual reduction was controlled by Bailiu."
"But this kind of statement cannot explain the fact that Georgia told Bailiu the location of the secret stronghold-even if Georgia is crazy, if Bailiu can't let the crazy Georgia trust him 100%, he will not be able to get the secret stronghold location from Georgia's mouth. "
"There is another saying that some people have guessed..." At this point, Tang Erda hesitated strangely, and his face became distorted. "Some people have speculated that Georgia fell in love with you because of the Stockholm plot, so that you will be caught by you. fully control."
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: "You are in your area, kind of gossip."
"... This is not gossip. In order to find out the truth, we have to make assumptions from all angles." Tang Erda defended it with difficulty, then took a glance at Bai Liu and added subtly, "At that time, this kind of argument would prevail, and there was another one. The reason is that Georgia always has some inexplicable welt marks on his body, and your... Bai Liu's weapon happens to be a long whip."
Bai Liu: "..."
In other timelines, is he playing so hard
