Chapter 581: The Game of the Evil God (305+306) Wants to Play with Me...

Wang Shun suddenly looked up and saw Bai Liu walking out of the exit unharmed. There was not a scratch on her body, and Wang Shun's smile had not yet appeared on his face when he saw Bai Liu look up.
At the moment when Bai Liu's eyes met, a frozen expression appeared on Wang Shun's face.
At the same time, the host on the big screen waved vigorously and exclaimed, "The system has determined that the winner of the league is -"
"- Wandering Circus!"
"Let us congratulate the president and tactician of the circus, ??? Bai Liu!"
The audience stands erupted in extremely enthusiastic screams and cheers, with many people so excited that they took off their clothes and waved them, throwing them onto the field. They didn't understand what had happened in this game; they were just desperate gamblers, celebrating the joy of doubling their points by betting on the winning side.
Everyone in the field stood up, but someone put two fingers in their mouth and blew a sharp whistle, laughing loudly as they did so: "Wandering Circus! Forever divine!"
"Bai Liu, fucking awesome!"
"The rookie team made it to the finals!"
"They may not be the typical rookies, but they are strong. Their rookie skills are really high. That assassin and thief are both impressive."
The laughter came from all directions, while Bai Liu stood motionless at the exit, looking at Wang Shun who was stiff and motionless, with no vitality in his eyes.
There was water dripping from the tip of his tail.
Wang Shun opened his mouth, but his face was blank. He looked at the empty and closed logout door and came to a halt, unable to understand.
Are there two more people?
The wandering circus, there are still two members who have not logged out?
He wants to ask, always feels that his question is cruel to Bai Liu, Bai Liu seems to understand the look in his eyes, lowers her eyes, and answers his question gently: "They couldn't log out."
“……灵魂被完碎裂掉了。”
这句话从白柳口中说出的一瞬，王舜猛地颤了一下，他的眼泪此刻才落下，只能不停地，法理解地重复：“怎么会……”
"How is that possible?!"
Luyizhan looked at Bailiu with a strange expression at this moment, a mixture of fear, perplexity, and pain.
——With a strange expression, as expected.
Meanwhile, Bai Liuyang looked at him with a calmness that was as still as a lake undisturbed by falling stones. She quietly gazed at the Lu Station and then, in a tone reminiscent of when she informed him at their university graduation that he would be living alone in the future, she said not to let him and Fang Dian enter her room.
"Lu Yizhan, I want to become an evil god."
"If you continue to stand in my way, I will kill you this time."
Lu Yizhan felt empty inside, as if a feather had fallen to the ground, and a bubble floated up to the sea. He thought that by this moment, he would cry, shed tears, and collapse. But at this moment, he couldn't generate any emotions.
Just like waiting for a long time, the sword hanging over his head finally falls, only to realize that the sword itself has rusted, it is a dull and painful torture, far less painful than he had imagined at first.
It does make people suddenly, blank, without thinking.
- Just like the 317 world lines, he felt when he saw Chen Boming pointing a gun at those people.
He had long expected that there would be such a day. He had seen this scene in the "future" long ago. He even closely watched the sword fall and the way he was killed. But he was unwilling, so he was resisting the future given to them by the gods.
At this moment, Luyi Station deeply feels that the illusion of peace that he has been desperately maintaining finally collapses.
In the real world, at dawn.
Mu Cheng sat blankly at the bus stop outside the school, not far away a car was rushing towards him out of control, and the dazzling headlights illuminated the side of his face.
He wore a pair of monkey headphones, his eyes unfocused, and he clenched a key in his hand.
—— It's not the key to his dormitory, but the key to Bai Liu's rental house. He originally planned to live there permanently in the future.
Because he didn't want to go home and didn't want to be alone, he wanted to stay with his friends.
He wants to stay with Bailiu.
Therefore, Bailiu gave him the key and calmly said, the rent is 1,500 yuan per month. He angrily cursed the other party for being heartless, and then snatched the key back.
The headlights approached him with dazzling light.
Halfway up the hill is the villa area.
The nanny pushed open the door and prepared to clean as usual. When she saw Mu Ke lying on the bed, she was a little stunned. She remembered that Young Master Mu Ke had gone out last night and had smiled and said that he had an important matter to handle tonight, so he wouldn't come back.
How did you suddenly come back?
"Master Muko?" The nanny inquired cautiously, "When did you come back?"
Muko on the bed suddenly turned over and fell down. He covered his heart, curled up into a ball, his lips turning purplish, and his entire face contorted in pain.
The nanny's face turned pale in an instant, and her scream woke everyone up: "Doctor, come quickly!"
"Master Muke's heart disease has acted up!!"
"Help!!"
After a chaotic period of turmoil, the disheveled family doctor looked at the heart rate monitor beside him with a pale face, saying, "How could it suddenly deteriorate like this?!"
"How much has the situation improved for Muke before?!"
On the bed, Muke, wearing a simple breathing mask, slowly turned his head and looked at the photo on his bedside table.-
- That is a group photo, or rather, using the term "group photo" is not suitable for describing it. He secretly saved and printed the drawing of the family happiness that Fang posted on his Moments, and put it in a photo frame.
Woodenke looked at each person in the picture frame, and his gaze ultimately fell on the portrait of White Willow. He smiled lightly and his eyelids drooped.
...In his life, there were also things that would make him feel happy before he died.
That's enough.
The doctor looked at the flatline heart rate with a terrified expression on his face: "Has the ambulance not arrived yet?"
Residential building.
Pushing open Jiayi's bedroom, Xiang Chunhua looked at the lump on the bed and froze for a moment: "Jiayi?"
——Wasn't it said that she would compete in the game today, and they even specifically warned them not to watch in the game, as it would affect her and distract her from performing well? How did she come out herself?
Game over?
Usually after the game ends, Jiayi would be sent back by Bailiu after having dinner over there. Why did she log out from her bedroom today?
Could it be a competition?!
Springhua's heart suddenly skipped a beat, with a vague and ominous premonition arising within her. She briskly threw off the covers in a few steps, and then her pupils contracted as her face turned deathly pale. Her voice was sharp: "Jiayi?!"
Liu Jiayi shrank and trembled in the cup, clearly losing her senses. She curled into a small ball, with her shoulders and body shaking. Blood stained her eyes as they continued flowing. Her fist pressed against her side as she softly called out:
"Big brother, it hurts..."
"Bailiu, it's really painful..."
"Stop it, stop it..."
"Liu Fu!!" Xiang Chunhua anxiously shouted as she wrapped Liu Jiayi in a blanket, "Call a car, let's go to the hospital!"
"Jiayi is injured!"
A taxi drove to the entrance of the hospital, stopped, and Springhua hurriedly carried Liu Jiayi towards the emergency department. Liu Fu anxiously followed by their side as they ran past a small stall selling red bean cakes.
一阵甜香飘散。
唐二居住的小区口，苏恙将唐二留在异端管理局没有带走的东西整理，他难得今天有空，正好今天送过来。
"Tang Er." Su Hang lightly tapped on Tang Er's shoulder and frowned, "Is he not here?"
It's strange, this time is when the disciplined Tang Er usually gets up for morning exercise. He didn't see Tang Er exercising downstairs, so he thought that Tang Er hadn't come out yet and brought his things up."
Su Hang was about to go downstairs to put things in the bathroom and gave Tang a call to pick them up himself. In the moment he turned around, stemming from his long association with danger, Su Hang felt like he smelled...the scent of blood.
He turned his head and looked at the tightly closed expression, with a heavy look.
After several failed attempts to reach Tang Er on the phone, Su Yang quickly went downstairs to inform the security guard. The security guard used the spare key left by Tang Er in the property to open it. As soon as it opened, the faint bloody smell became apparent. Su Yang's pupils contracted as she looked at Tang Er sitting on the sofa, with his eyes closed and covered in blood.
"Tang team!"
Bailiu stepped out of his rented house and there were many people around him who wanted to chase after him and ask him multiple questions, but he logged out of the game like that.
A person sat motionless in a chair in the study room.
椅子上还搭着唐二和黑桃的外套，地上倒着木柯看过的书，桌上是刘佳仪端来和牧诚磕了一桌子瓜子皮的果盘。
白柳的机震动起来，他接起，对传来苏恙焦急的音：
"Bai Liu, are you at home? I suspect that Tang has been attacked by heretics and is seriously injured. I have taken him to the hospital under the management of the Heretic Administration Bureau, and he is currently being treated."
"You are his top emergency contact, as stated on his phone. He doesn't have any family or close friends that he frequently communicates with. He is severely injured, can you come over?"
"I will send you the address."
白柳静了静：“好。”
他放下电话不到一秒，又响了，白柳接起，对是向春华慌张的音：
“白会长，佳仪受伤了！我们把她送到了医院，也不知道她到底受了什么伤，医生正在看，您能过来一下吗？”
Bai Liu paused and said, "I'll be right there."
Before he even hung up the phone, another call came in.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Bai Liu, the parent of Mu Cheng?"
"I am his counselor and we are currently unable to contact his parents. You are the first emergency contact on Mu Cheng's flight, and he had a serious car accident this morning. The situation is critical, and he is undergoing emergency treatment. Can you please come over as soon as possible?!"
"Hello? Is this Mr. Bai Liu? I am the butler of Master Mu Ke. He had a heart attack!"
"I would like to ask if you have any knowledge about the factors that triggered Master Mu Ke's heart attack while you were with him recently. The doctor said that if it cannot be controlled anymore, Master Mu Ke might..."
That was a very strange state, Bai Liu could calmly answer the phone and then hang up, sort out the hospital address and travel route received, and then hang up the phone, lean against the desk and stand up, even put on a coat for himself. Bai Liu raised his head and looked at these familiar and unfamiliar things in front of him under the orange light.
The warm scene formed by these things gradually disintegrates in Bai Liu's eyes, disintegrating into the appearance he understood through the law, as if something unreal, making him somewhat suddenly realize -
Has —— ever existed?
These people... these people who are leaving him, dying people, who once laughed, made noise, turned their heads to him and smiled, willows ——
- We will accompany you until the end of the game.
- ...Will it pass?
- Or is all of this just a self-projected fantasy born out of emotional satisfaction for him, who is regarded by everyone as a mentally ill person, a monster, a heretic, because he has been excluded from the mainstream society?
For example, he saw a sunny and lively college student, Mu Cheng, on the street, a well-dressed and delicate young master, Mu Ke, in the private styling room, the most talented child prodigy, Liu Jiayi, being promoted on TV, and Tang Er, who passed by with a serious expression while executing a mission.
And he was just a... gloomy and reclusive monster, who fantasized about making friends with these people and imagined this scene.
- His high school homeroom teacher would tell him like this, that as a monster like him, he can only make friends through fantasy.
Maybe he did it this way.
If it's just a fantasy.
White willow droops its eyes and thinks.
He has always hated his high school homeroom teacher. At this moment, he is thinking, if all of this, as Xu Wei said, is just his self-delusion.
Bai Liu took the key and walked out.
Three days later, in the game.
Bai Yi cautiously poked the inverted spade with his finger and asked, "Um... how is Bai Liu doing?"
Hei Tao was silent for a long time before answering in a sullen voice: "I waited for him at home all day."
"He didn't come back all day."
"He didn't come home and I don't know where he went."
"I feel like he doesn't want to see me."
"Oh..." Bai Yi sighed, sitting next to Hei Tao. After a moment of silence, he spoke gently, "Well, it makes sense. There was a death in the family, so he will be busy for a long time..."
"To go to the crematorium, to go through the registration, handle the deceased's belongings, cancel the ID card, and also arrange for a funeral, there are so many procedures..."
"When my family members passed away... I was also too busy to go back home, and didn't want to go back home, didn't want to see anyone."
The conference room fell into silence.
Baijia Mu leaned against the wall in silence and reluctantly brought up a topic: "Have you guys seen Neishen? "
Baiyi shook his head and said, "I don't know. After that day, Neishen never came back to the game."
“He told me he had to go deal with some work matters and will definitely be back before the finals," Bai Yi sighed heavily, "But the expression on his face, it's as if he's about to die."
Heresy Processing Bureau, one normal session.
Lingyizhan followed behind Liao Ke, who stood here after a long absence, looking up and stopping.
Liao Ke sighed for a long time and said: "Do you want to restore your identity as a captain and personally deal with the matter of Cen Boming, right?"
"Hmm," Luyizhan remained silent for a while. "I have already talked to him about it."
"If he commits any unacceptable actions, I will personally judge him."
Luyizhan walked away.
Meanwhile, in the Sinchimani family hall.
It is now nighttime, and the hall is brightly lit, with various decorations placed around. Men and women, all dressed in formal attire, are milling about. Some are intimately dancing on the dance floor, while others engage in distant or dignified conversation. There is an indescribable air of nobility and an apparent indifference towards those around them.
In the corner, the queen of hearts is wearing a long gown and a pair of white lace gloves that reach her elbows. She raised her red wine glass to the person next to her, who was wearing a suit, and took a sip. Her tone was light:
"Although I don't know why you asked me to bring you here, I hope you won't regret what you've done."
White Willow raised a glass of red wine and politely toasted him, speaking calmly, "Why do you think I would regret?"
Hearts paused: "Because I feel that you are not very rational now."
"From a certain perspective, I can understand your irrationality. I am still somewhat surprised to this extent."
Heart paused for a moment and looked at White Willow, who was savoring the wine with lowered eyes: "I thought you..."
——Didn't care about them that much.
At least not enough to take the initiative to ask for his help, to have him bring Daniel to the Sinchimani family's coming-of-age ceremony, and it seems like she wanted to personally attend it in reality.
The Heart Club managed to obtain the invitation to the coming-of-age ceremony, and Redheart brought Bailiu as her male companion to the Sinchimani family. They both waited in this corner for the beginning of the banquet. Redheart gazed at Bailiu's profile and keenly sensed that something in this man had been taken away by the previous game, while something more dangerous had filled that void.
White Willow quietly sipped on his red wine, raising his gaze to the red peach and giving a faint smile, "What did you think of me?"
With this smile, the dangerous element on White Willow's body quietly dissipated, becoming hazy and yet somehow more uncomfortable to him.
Heart Shaking: "...It's nothing."
"Jiayi is fine, right?"
Bailiu smiled faintly and replied: "Jiayi is fine, she is resting in the hospital."
Heart Shaking stared at Bailiu for a while, then turned her gaze away, nodded slightly, indicating she heard it.
——You can't see anything.
He can't see anything.
Before the banquet, Hongtao had already tried to probe Liu Jiayi's situation three times, but Bailiu smiled without any loopholes, and Hongtao couldn't find out anything.
After the game ended and it was confirmed that Liu Jiayi was injured, I tried to search for the hospital where she was taken to, but I didn't know which hospital Bai Liu had hidden her in. I haven't found her yet, and coincidentally, Bai Liu came looking for me. I chose to agree to Bai Liu's request and dealt with him, asking him to tell me about Liu Jiayi's condition.
The message I received was only one sentence - "Jiayi is fine, resting at the hospital", and there was no more information.
Heart lowered her gaze and lightly took a sip of red wine, observing her own reflection in the wine glass.
Liu Jiayi's injury must be related to the mad clown. In addition, Phoebe has also been threatened by the clown. Originally, he was planning to take action against Daniel himself, but he didn't expect Bai Liu to come to the Xinqimani family.
At the sight of the red plum, Bai Liu knew exactly what she was about to do.
She began... crossing certain boundaries that she had always upheld.
周围的宾客骤然喧哗起来，向楼台转角靠拢，红桃回神，俯身向白柳轻解释：“宴会开始了。”
从摆满花卉的楼梯上，走下了穿着纯白『色』西装，佩戴着绿『色』小领结的丹尼尔，他的头发被摩丝部梳到了后，『露』出了标志的五官那那双美丽的苹果绿眼睛，他本人的表情就没有那么美丽了，带着一种暴怒，烦躁，和一种仿佛被谁踹了一脚的，所适从的『迷』茫。
就像是发生了什么他极为不能理解的事情，仿佛他一直为追寻的人抛弃了他。
台下的人客气地互相寒暄，白柳侧过眼，当做没听到，他本来也听不懂，旁边的红桃有一下没一下地玩弄着自己的链，眼眸半阖，紫檀慵懒，然后链突然亮了一下，红桃的表情一沉。
——这是菲比和红桃间联系的信号。
发出这个红『色』警告信号，代表丹尼尔已经对她动了。
——丹尼尔的想在这场生日宴会上杀死菲比夺权。
“这里要『乱』起来了，菲比准备反击了。”红桃抬眸，他语气变得冰冷，“等会儿我可能顾不上你，你如果挡不住就游戏吧。”
“我先去找菲比。”
白柳抬眸看向了平台上的丹尼尔，轻回答：“好。”
红桃深深地看看一眼白柳，最终什么都没说，转身离开了。
正如红桃所说，丹尼尔出现后，下大厅快就『乱』起来了，宾客间的交谈都变得诡异了起来，每个人都在量着对方，试图揣着对方有什么意图，丹尼尔似乎觉得这个场景聊，他穿着衣服又束缚，就上了二楼准备换衣服大闹一场。
白柳也趁『乱』上了二楼，他息地跟在正准备换身衣服下去的丹尼尔后，抬眸音轻地唤了他一：“丹尼尔。”
丹尼尔正在换衣服，解扣子的顿住了，他不可思议地转头，眼睛闪亮，音明显上扬：“教父！”
“你来我的成人礼了！”
丹尼尔蹭蹭两步走过去，停在了白柳最安的三米距离，他仰着头，就像是希望白柳能『摸』『摸』他一样，十分崇敬地半跪了下来，右握拳虔诚地抵在胸口，语气里是终于落地的期待：
“我就知道您还是需要我的。”
“他们都不配为您成神路效力，只有我，只有能将您为神侍奉的信徒，才能跟随在您身后！”
白柳垂眸望着丹尼尔变得狂热的表情，他勾起了唇角，眼眸里一丝光都没有：“为你的成年礼礼物。”
“——要和我系统，玩一次游戏吗，丹尼尔？”
