Wang Shun raised his head abruptly. Looking at it, Bai Liu came out of the boarding exit intact, with no injuries on his body. Before the smile on Wang Shun's face came out, he saw Bai Liu raise his head.
The moment he saw Bai Liu's eyes, the smile on Wang Shun's face froze.
At the same time, the host on the big screen waved fiercely: "The system is confirmed. The winner of the league is—"
"—The Wandering Circus!"
"Let us congratulate the president and tactician of the circus, Bai Liu!"
There were extremely enthusiastic screams and cheers from the audience. Many people were so excited that they took off their clothes and threw them on the court. They didn't understand what happened in this game. They were just gamblers of desire. They pressed the game and won the game. On the one hand, I feel sincerely happy that I doubled my points.
Everyone stood up. Someone put two fingers in his mouth to whistle, the sound was sharp, and he laughed while blowing: "Wandering Circus! God forever!"
"Bai Liu, awesome!"
"The rookie team is in the finals!"
"It's not a standard rookie, but it's also strong. Their rookie has a high quality, and the assassin and the thief are so powerful."
A laugh came from all directions, and Bai Liu stood motionless at the exit, staring at Wang Shun, who was stiff, with no popularity in his eyes.
There was water dripping from the end of his hair.
Wang Shun opened his mouth, his face was blank, he looked at the "swing" and "swing" in the back empty, the closed exit, Fa stopped understanding.
Are there two more people
Wandering Circus, are there two players who have not logged out
He wanted to ask. He always felt that his question was cruel to Bai Liu. Bai Liu seemed to understand his eyes, lowered his eyes, and answered his question softly: "They couldn't log out."
"... The soul was completely shattered."
The moment this sentence came out of Bai Liu’s mouth, Wang Shun trembled abruptly, and his tears fell at this moment, and he could only repeat it non-stop, with comprehension: "How could it be..."
"how could be?!"
Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu very slowly. He must have a strange expression at the moment, a mixture of fear, "lost", pain—
—And really such a strange expression.
And Bai Liu looked at him with a calm expression like a lake where the falling rocks could not cause ripples. He looked at Lulu Station so quietly and calmly, and then when he graduated from university, he informed him that he would live alone in the future. Do not want him and Fang Dian to go to his room in the future and say:
"Lu Yizhan, I am going to become an evil god."
"If you continue to stand in front of me, I will kill you this time."
Lu Yizhan's heart was empty, and the ground was empty, like a feather "hair" falling to the ground, and a bubble floated to the sea. He thought that by this moment, he would cry, he would cry, he would collapse, until this moment. At that time, he couldn't give birth to any emotions.
It was like waiting for a long time when the sword hanging above his head finally fell, and he realized that the sword itself had also rusted. It was a dull and painful rush, far less painful than he had imagined.
It is really shocking, my mind is blank, and I think about it.
—It's like 317 world lines, he feels the same when he sees Unknown Cen pointing his gun at those people.
He had anticipated that there would be such a day. He had already seen this scene in [Future]. He even watched the way the sword fell and killed him, but he was not reconciled, so in Do your best to resist the future God has given them.
At this moment, Lu Yizhan deeply felt that an illusion that he had tried his best to maintain peace until now, finally disintegrated at this moment.
The real world, the moment of dawn.
Mu Cheng sat on the bus stop outside the school with empty eyes, and not far away was a car approaching him out of control, with the dazzling light of the headlights illuminating his profile.
He was wearing that pair of monkey earphones, his eyes out of focus, holding a key in it.
—It's not the key to his dormitory, but the key to the rental house in Bailiu. He originally planned to live there in the future.
Because he doesn't want to go home, he doesn't want to be alone, he wants to stay with friends.
He wants to stay with Bai Liu.
So Bai Liu gave him the key, and said calmly. The rent was 1,500 a month. He yelled at the other party for having no conscience, and then snatched the key.
The dazzling light of the car's headlights approached him.
Mid-levels villa area.
The babysitter pushed away and was about to clean up as usual. When she saw Mu Ke lying on the bed, she was a little bit startled. She remembered that Master Mu Ke was out last night, and smiled and said that there was something important to deal with tonight, so not coming back.
Why did you come back suddenly
"Master Muke?" The nanny asked tentatively, "When did you come back?"
Mu Ke on the bed suddenly turned over and fell off. He covered his heart and curled up into a ball. His lips had turned purple, and his entire face was tightened due to pain.
The babysitter's face turned white in an instant, and her scream awakened everyone: "Come on, doctor!!"
"Master Mu Ke has a heart attack!!"
"Help!!"
After a period of "chaos", the family doctor with crooked clothes looked at the heartbeat monitor next to him with a pale face, "How could it suddenly deteriorate like this?!"
"The situation in front of Mu Ke has improved a lot!!"
Mu Ke on the bed wore a simple breathing mask, and the focus of his eyes gradually faded. He turned his head laboriously and looked at the picture on his bedside table—
—It was a group photo, or it is not appropriate to use a group photo. It was he who secretly saved and printed the drawing of the family portrait of Fang Dian's circle of friends, and put it in the frame.
Mu Ke looked at everyone in the frame, and finally stopped at Bai Liu's portrait. He smiled slightly, and his eyelids fell down.
… There were also things in his life that would make him happy before he died.
That's enough.
The doctor looked at the zero-returning heartbeat with horror on his face: "Is the ambulance not here yet!"
Residential building.
Xiang Chunhua pushed Jiayi's bedroom away, she stared at the drum bag on the bed, "Jiayi?"
—It’s not that I went to the game today, but also warned them not to watch it in the game. It would affect her, distract her, and play badly. Why did you come out by yourself
The game is over
After the usual game is over, Jiayi usually eats at Bai Liu before being sent back by Bai Liu. Why did she log out of her bedroom today
Does it mean the game? !
Xiang Chunhua's heart slammed, and an unknown premonition spontaneously emerged. She lifted the quilt in three steps and two steps, and then her pupils shrank, her face was pale, and her voice was sharp: "Jiayi?!"
Liu Jiayi shrank in the cup and shivered. She apparently lost consciousness. She shrank into a small ball while holding the doll. Her shoulders and body were trembling. There was blood on her eyes, which kept flowing. Her fist was on her side and her mouth was light. Cried out:
"Brother, I hurt..."
"Bai Liu, I feel so painful..."
"Fake me, leave me..."
"Liu Fu!!" Xiang Chunhua wrapped Liu Jiayi in a quilt and shouted anxiously, "Call a car, let's go to the hospital!"
"Jiayi is injured!"
The taxi drove to the entrance of the hospital, stopped, Xiang Chunhua hurriedly hugged Liu Jiayi to the emergency department, Liu Fu anxiously guarding the side, they ran past the red bean cake stall.
A sweet fragrance drifted away.
At the entrance of the community where Tang Er lived, Su Chao sorted out the things Tang Er left in the Heresy Administration Bureau and did not take away. He rarely had time today, and it happened to be delivered today.
"Tang Er." Su Chao tapped Tang Er's, then frowned, "Aren't you there?"
It shouldn't be. At this point, it happened that when Tang Er, a guy with regular breathing, got up for morning exercises, he didn't see Tang Er who was doing morning exercises downstairs. He thought it was Tang Er who hadn't come out, so he sent the things up.
Su Chao was about to go downstairs, put things to Wei, and gave Tang Er a call to let him pick it up. At the moment of turning around, out of an intuition of dealing with danger all the year round, Su Chao felt that he seemed to smell... The smell of blood.
He turned his head and looked at the closed face with a solemn expression.
The phone call to Tang Er was not answered again and again, Su Chao quickly went downstairs to notify the security, and asked the security to take the spare key Tang Er left at the property and open it. Once opened, the looming bloody smell fell to the real place. Chao looked at Tang Er who was sitting on the sofa with his pupils tightened, his eyes closed, and blood all over his body.
"Team Tang!"
Bai Liu logged out of the game from his rental house. There were many people around him who wanted to chase him and ask many questions. That's how he logged out of the game.
A man sat motionless on a chair in the study.
There were Tang Er and Spades coats on the chair. Books that Mu Ke had read were lying on the floor. On the table was a fruit plate brought by Liu Jiayi and Mu Cheng knocked on the skin of melon seeds.
Bai Liu's machine shook, he picked it up, and heard Su Chao's anxious voice:
"Bai Liu, are you at home? I suspect that Team Tang was attacked by a heresy. He was seriously injured. I took him to a hospital under the management of the heretical administration. He is now being rescued."
"The number one emergency contact for his plane is you. He has no family or other friends who are in constant contact with him. Now he is seriously injured. Can you come over?"
"I will send you the address."
Bai Liu was quiet: "Okay."
Less than a second after he put down the phone, it rang again, and Bai Liu picked it up, responding to Xiang Chunhua's panicked voice:
"Chairman Bai, Jiayi is injured! We took her to the hospital, and we don't know what exactly she was injured. The doctor is looking at it. Can you come over?"
Bailiu paused: "I'll be here right away."
Before he hangs up the call, a new call comes.
"Hello, how are you? Are you Mr. Bai Liu, Mu Cheng's parent?"
"I am his counselor. We can't contact his parents for the time being. The first emergency contact person on the plane of Mu Cheng is you. He had a car accident this morning. The situation is very urgent and is being rescued. You can come here quickly. A moment?!"
"Hello? Mr. Bai Liu? I'm the butler of Master Mu Ke, he has a heart attack!"
"I would like to ask if you have been with him recently, do you know what causes Master Mu Ke's heart attack? The doctor said that if you can't control it, Master Mu Ke will..."
It was a very strange state. Bai Liu was able to calmly pick up the phone and then put it down, plan the hospital address and path he received, then put down the phone, stood up on the desk, and even added it to himself. With a coat, Bai Liu raised his head and looked at the familiar and strange things in front of him under the orange light.
The warm painting composed of these things gradually disintegrated in Bai Liu's eyes, disintegrating into the way he could understand it, like something unreal, which made him feel a little stunned—
-Has it ever existed
These people... These people who are leaving him, those who are dying, used to be around him, in this narrow room, laughed, made trouble, turned his head and smiled at him and said, Bai Liu—
—We will accompany you to the end of the game.
… Ever
Or is it all, just a kind of emotionally satisfying self-projecting fantasy that he, a human being considered by everyone to be a mental patient, a monster, and a heresy, because he was excluded from the mainstream group of society
For example, he saw a sunny and lively college student Mu Cheng on the street, a well-dressed young master Mu Ke in the private modeling room, and the most powerful genius child Liu Jiayi was promoted on the TV. The one who passed by was on a mission. Tang Er with a serious expression.
And he is just a... gloomy and lonely monster. He imagined this scene because he wanted to be friends with these people because of his fantasy.
—The head teacher of his high school would tell him this way, a monster like you can only make friends by fantasy.
Maybe he did this.
It would be great if it was a fantasy.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and thought.
He has always hated his high school head teacher. At this moment, he is thinking, if all this, as Xu Wei said, it would be all his own fantasy.
Bai Liu took the key out.
Three days later, in the game.
Bai Yi cautiously poked the falling spades: "... That, Bai Liu, how is he?"
The spades were quiet for a long time before repliing sullenly, "I waited for him at home."
"He didn't come back this day."
"He didn't go home, and he didn't know where he was."
"I feel he doesn't want to see me."
"That's it..." Bai Yi sighed. He sat next to the spades. After a while, he spoke softly. "That's right, someone in the family has passed away. It will be busy for a long time..."
"To go to the crematorium, to file for records, to deal with the relics, to cancel the ID card, to buy a funeral, there are many processes..."
"When my family died... I was too busy to go home, nor did I want to go home, I didn't want to see anyone."
The meeting room fell silent.
Bai Jiamu leaned against the wall in silence, and he reluctantly found a conversation: "What about Nishen, have you seen him?"
Bai Yi shook his head: "I don't know, after that day, Nishen never returned to the game."
"He told me that he was going to deal with some work matters, and he would definitely be back before the final." Bai Yi sighed, "That face is as ugly as a dead man."
Heretics deal with the bureau, one game is straight.
Lu Yizhan followed Liao Ke, who stood here for a long time, raised his head and stopped.
Liao Ke sighed for a long time: "You want to regain the status of the captain of the first team and handle things that Cen doesn't know yourself, right?"
"Yeah." Lu Yizhan was quiet for a long time, "I've agreed with him."
"If he does something that crosses the line, I will judge him personally."
Lu Yizhan left.
At the same time, the Sinchmani family hall.
It was already night, and the hall was as bright as day, with all kinds of accessories, and men and women in regular dresses and formal attire were communicating with each other. They talked intimately, alienatedly or dignifiedly on the dance floor. The nobleness of speaking, and the carelessness towards others.
The heart in the corner was wearing a long dress and white lace hem elbows. He raised a red wine glass to respect the person wearing a suit next to him, and then took a sip, with a light tone:
"Although I don't know why you let me bring you here, I hope you do not regret what you have done."
Bai Liu held up a glass of red wine, and the gentleman replied with a calm tone: "Why do you think I regret it?"
Hearts paused: "Because I feel that you are not sensible now."
"From a certain angle I can understand your irrationality, to this extent I am still a little surprised."
Hongtao was quiet for a while, he looked at the white willow who was tasting the red wine with his eyes down: "I thought you..."
—I don’t care about them that much.
At least he didn't care that he would take the initiative to ask him for help and let him take him to Daniel's coming-of-age ceremony in the Sinchmani family. It seemed that he was going to do it himself in reality.
Hongtao helped to get the invitation letter for the coming-of-age ceremony, and brought Bai Liu to the Sinchmani family as a male companion. Then Bai Liu and him waited in this corner to wait for the start of the banquet. Hongtao watched Bai Liu's profile. , He clearly felt that some things on this man had been taken away by the previous game, and some more dangerous things filled the gap. "
Bai Liu sipped the red wine quietly. He raised his eyes to the red peach and smiled slightly: "What do you think of me?"
With this smile, the dangerous things from Bai Liu's body quietly dissipated, becoming unclear, but it became even more uncomfortable for him.
Heart shook his head: "... nothing."
"Jiayi's okay, right?"
Bai Liu smiled lightly and replied, "Jiayi is fine. She is recuperating in the hospital."
Hongtao fixedly stared at Bai Liu for a while, then retracted his gaze, nodded, and heard it.
-Can't see anything.
He can't see anything.
Before the banquet, Hongtao had tried to test Liu Jiayi's situation three times, Bai Liu smiled flawlessly, and Hongtao couldn't test anything.
At the end of the game, after Hongtao determined that Liu Jiayi was injured, he tried to search for the hospital where Liu Jiayi was located. He didn't know what hospital Bai Liu hid her in. Hongtao hasn't found it now. It happened that Bai Liu came up and he chose to agree. Bai Liu's request, and Bai Liu's deal, was that the other party told him about Liu Jiayi's situation.
There was only one word of news—[Jiayi is fine, recuperating in the hospital], and there is no more.
Red Star looked down at his reflection in the red wine glass, and took a sip.
Liu Jiayi's injury must be related to the lunatic clown, and Phoebe was also threatened by the clown. Originally, he planned to act on Daniel himself. He did not expect that Bai Liu would come to him and said that he would come to the Sinchmani family.
When Hongtao saw it, he knew what Bai Liu was going to do.
He began to... crossed some of the bottom lines that he had always adhered to.
The surrounding guests suddenly clashed and moved closer to the corner of the building. Hearts returned to their senses and leaned over to explain to Bai Liuqing: "The banquet has begun."
From the stairs full of flowers, I walked down Daniel wearing a pure white "color" suit and a green "color" bow tie. After his hair was combed by the mousse, he "exposed" the symbolic facial features. With those beautiful apple green eyes, his expression is not so beautiful, with a kind of anger, irritation, and a kind of "confusion" that seems to be kicked by someone.
It was like something happened that he couldn't understand, as if he had been abandoning him for the people who were after.
The people in the audience greeted each other politely. Bai Liu looked sideways. As if he hadn’t heard it, he didn’t understand it at first. The hearts next to him played with his chain one after another, his eyes were half-closed, and the red sandalwood was lazy, and then The chain suddenly lit up, and Heart's expression sank.
—This is the signal of the connection between Phoebe and Hearts.
Sending this red "color" warning signal means that Daniel has moved to her.
—Daniel wanted to kill Phoebe to seize power at this birthday party.
"It's going to be'chaos' here, and Phoebe is about to fight back." Heart raised his eyes, his tone became cold, "I may not care about you later, if you can't stop it, just play."
"I'll go find Phoebe first."
Bai Liu raised his eyes to look at Daniel on the platform, and replied softly: "Okay."
Hongtao took a deep look at White Willow, and finally said nothing, turned and left.
As the Heart of Heart said, after Daniel appeared, the hall was "chaotic" and the conversation between the guests became weird. Everyone was measuring each other and trying to figure out what the other party had in mind. Daniel seemed to think Talking about this scene, he was wearing clothes and restrained, so he went to the second floor to change his clothes and make a fuss.
Bai Liu also took advantage of the "chaos" to go up to the second floor. He restlessly followed Daniel, who was about to change into his clothes, and raised his eyes and called him softly: "Daniel."
Daniel was changing his clothes, and he stopped unbuttoning his buttons. He turned his head incredulously, his eyes gleaming, and his voice visibly raised: "Godfather!"
"You have come to my coming-of-age gift!"
Daniel walked over in two steps and stopped at the safest three-meter distance of Bai Liu. He raised his head as if he hoped that Bai Liu could "touch" and "touch" him. He knelt down in reverence, and clenched his right fist sincerely. The ground hits his chest, and his tone is the expectation of finally landing:
"I knew you still need me."
"They are not worthy to work for you to become a god. Only I, only believers who can serve you for God, can follow you behind!"
Bai Liu looked down at Daniel's zealous expression, his lips curled up, and there was not a trace of light in his eyes: "For your coming-of-age gift."
"—Do you want to play a game with me, Daniel?"
