Su Yang founded a guild in the game and formed a team. He held Tang Erda's hand with shining eyes and told Tang Erda that he would get his wish if he won the game.
Then Captain, we can make a wish to take everyone out of this game. We in the Dangerous Heretic Bureau can form a team and go to the competition. We fight these evil creatures outside the game. There is no reason why we can lose in the game with the support of skills and props.
Don't give up on the world so easily, don't be so pessimistic, Captain! Su Yang said with a smile.
His teammates laughed and said loudly, "That's right, Captain, don't be a coward as soon as you enter the game. We are all from the third team. Don't be afraid, just do it. We will not give up easily!"
They fought through thick and thin, they were relentless, they refused to give up, and they did win.
The team members all died on the road to victory, entrusting their unfulfilled wishes to their trusted captain, and died with satisfaction.
Su Yang resolutely stood in front of him. He glanced at Tang Erda with a relieved smile on his face as if he knew what was going to happen. He mouthed to Tang Erda, "Captain, go on."
Everything that happened next was like slow motion, replaying slowly in Tang Erda's open eyes at night. A pure white bone whip strangled Su Yang's slender neck and pulled him over like a rabbit. Silver bullets pierced through Su Yang's head, and blood splattered on Tang Erda's face, whose pupils were dilated.
In the end, the only person left alive was Tang Er fighting alone.
At first Tang Er asked, why did you let me live?
Later, Tang Er asked, why did you let me live?
In the end, Tang Erda, who had won everything, knelt on the podium. There were thousands of enthusiastic cheers from the audience, and on the stage was the champion who had won everything.
The champion was covered in wounds, and he lowered his head as he was dying. He looked up with a dazed look in his eyes. In the dazzling white light, he made a wish with a hoarse and dry voice to a god who he didn't know whether he really existed or not.
——I hope everyone, especially Su Yang, can leave this game alive.
Then the merciful gods took care of him and fulfilled his wish.
The god told Tang Erda that if his wish was to come true, he could only stop it before it all started. So the game gave Tang Erda a god-level item, allowing him to reverse time and go back to the past to change everything.
But this was just a lie to deceive him, because Tang Er had reversed time so many times, and he had never successfully prevented everyone from entering the game. He just kept delaying the time for others to enter the game and kept consuming himself by constantly reversing time.
And even if all this is stopped in the end, it is impossible to really prevent everyone from entering the game, because Tang Erda, who possesses the props, must be in the game. If he does not enter the game, he cannot use the props. And if he uses the props, even if he lets everyone leave the game, he cannot leave.
So Tang Erda questioned the gods, didn't I wish that everyone would leave the game? Why am I not included in this?
The gods were still merciful and said, the moment you make a wish, you are no longer a human being.
You are a heretic and a monster, so you will be trapped in the game forever. This is the price you need to pay for fulfilling your wishes beyond your ability.
Tang Er, who had become a heretic and a monster, silently accepted his price and ending after his collapse and madness. He continued to travel back and forth for the ending where everyone except him could leave the game.
This is the longest time that Tang Er has delayed. By this time, Bai Liu is already 24 years old, and except for him, no one else in the entire department has entered the game.
And his vice-captain, Su Yang, finally lived past the age of thirty-three - the age at which he was supposed to die in the game.
"Captain Tang, Captain Tang! Captain Su is talking to you!"
Tang Er suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Su Yang: "Oh, I'm sure he can handle this. You don't have to worry about it. Leave it to me. You just need to protect yourself..."
"Captain Tang, didn't Captain Su ask you this..." The team member was a little helpless and a little amused, "Are you drunk? Captain Su's child is one month old, and we're inviting you to a one-month celebration. Do you want to go?"
The expression on Tang Er's face froze.
"Of course, Captain Su! You're the fastest among us! We got married last year and our baby is already one month old this year!"
"Captain Su, the child is only one month old now. How can he look like you or your sister-in-law? Well, you two are both good-looking, so it doesn't matter which one he looks like. But I can't do that. I can only hope that the child's mother is good-looking..."
"Wake up, you've been single for twenty-seven years."
Su Yang's usually gentle and elegant face was flushed with anger. His eyes were bright, and he looked a bit silly as a father for the first time. "Now I can't tell who he looks like... but I think he looks very good. Captain Tang, will you come to my house for the full-month banquet? Xiao An will cook for you."
Someone nearby made a face and joked, "Back then, we all said that Captain Su was Captain Tang's wise wife, but we didn't expect that the wise wife would run faster than Captain Tang, the boss. But Captain Su said that he wants to let you be the godfather of the child. Captain Tang, how do you feel when you see that the wise wife of the past has become someone else's father?"
"Jealous." Tang Er said lazily, "When I saw him getting married, I was so jealous that I didn't even dare to attend. I wanted to snatch the groom away so that he wouldn't get married."
The other team members were laughing. Tang Erda added casually, "... so early, even earlier than me, I got married and had kids."
Su Yang looked at Tang Erda with anticipation. Su Yang was sincerely inviting Tang Erda. He smiled and said, "I bought the wine you like. Let's have a couple of drinks then."
"You didn't come to my wedding, so you have to come this time. It would be wrong if you didn't come. I've been your vice-captain for so long, so you should give me this face, right?
Tang Er looked at Su Yang's happy face silently for a long time, then he suddenly smiled, waved his hand, turned and left:
"I really don't want to give Captain Su this honor. I like drinking alone. Congratulations to Captain Su on the birth of his son. I'll find a time to give you a big red envelope. I won't go with you."
The others' laughter stopped awkwardly.
"...Captain Tang, you're really not going?"
"No, Captain Tang, what's wrong with you lately? Why don't you contact us?"
"...After Captain Su got married, Captain Tang, you always got drunk alone. You don't have to be so jealous, do you? Old Tang! You have such good conditions, you can find anyone you want!"
Tang Erda didn't turn around, just waved lazily, didn't answer, and walked out.
"Tang Erda!" Su Yang reached out to grab Tang Erda's hand. He seemed a little angry. "What's wrong with you recently? You always stay alone, hiding from me and other team members? Do you have any opinions about us?"
Tang Er consciously pushed away Su Yang's hand that was trying to grab his, and then, in Su Yang's somewhat dazed eyes, Tang Er turned around to look at Su Yang, with a dazed look on his face as well.
[Captain, why are you hiding from me? ]
【What's the point of someone hiding from me? 】
[Tang Erda, we have been friends for so many years, captain and vice-captain, you are hiding from me, do you really think I can't see it? ]
Su Yang from different time and space lines seemed to overlap at this moment.
Tang Er opened his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he seemed to feel a kind of exhaustion and emptiness that consumed everything. He stared at Su Yan's face in this timeline, which had not experienced any torture or death, and his eyes began to become unfocused.
Finally, Tang Erda took a deep breath and smiled as if forcing himself to let go: "Captain Su, you have already started a family."
Su Yang was a little confused. He looked at Tang Erda in confusion: "So what if I got married? Can't I have a normal relationship with you just because I got married? That doesn't make sense. We have been friends for many years."
Tang Erda had seen such eyes and such gazes tens of millions of times, but never once had it made him silent for no reason like this.
"I don't have any opinion about you." Tang Er was silent for a moment, and as if to ease the embarrassment, he smiled casually, "I think you are very good the way you are now, very good, very good, I am not dissatisfied at all, I sincerely wish you the best."
Su Yang just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.
But Tang Er said bluntly: "Of course, it would be better if you stay away from me. Stop chasing me and learn to take care of your family, Captain Su."
Don't ever chase me into games like that again, Su Yang.
The slight smile on Su Yang's face faded, and the light in his eyes dimmed. He looked at Tang Erda unwillingly, as if he was very sad. "I don't understand, Captain, why do you say and do this? Did I do something wrong?"
"You didn't do anything wrong." Tang Er paused, "It's my fault. I was thinking wrongly. It's... I didn't think clearly."
After saying this, Tang Erda shook off Su Yang's hand that was about to grab him, put on his coat without hesitation, and turned away.
"From now on, no team member is allowed to approach me or have private contact with me unless it is business."

CEDT - In room 006.
Bai Liu was sleeping on a mattress in the corner. Only a faint light came in from the small window. From time to time, the sound of patrolling footsteps could be heard from the door.
According to the pattern of the footsteps, the patrol would pass by his window about once every fifteen minutes, a bit like prison. After the footsteps left this time, Bai Liu quickly took out a hollow coin from the edge of his handcuffs - that was the game manager.
In the gap between Su Yang's departure and Tang Er's entry, Bai Liu lowered his head to avoid surveillance and hid the coin under his tongue inside the handcuffs - the possibility of hiding something in his mouth without being discovered when being questioned continuously was too small, and according to Su Yang, this Captain Tang might have some understanding of him.
But Tang Erda did not carefully search the game manager on Bai Liu. He said, "I have enhanced this room with props. You cannot enter the game."
Bai Liu's cross and fish scales were taken away by Tang Erda. The only thing left on him was this coin that Tang Erda had searched halfway for. He had to try it no matter what. He held the coin and silently said:
【Enter the game】
[System prompt: Zizi... The signal is isolated. The extraordinary item (magic space) is touched. The owner of the space can control the entry and exit of people in the space. The game signal is isolated. Player Bai Liu cannot log in to the game! ! ]
"[Magic Space]?" Bai Liu thought, "Isn't this the prop that Liu Jiayi gave to Liu Huai?"
