"Fuck!" Mu Sicheng was so frustrated that he wanted to punch the air. "It's a level 3 game, I can't even guarantee that I can get out alive! How can Bai Liu, a player with a low-level board, have the guts to just rush in!"
Mu Ke took a few breaths and turned to look at Mu Sicheng, a player with more experience than him: "What can we do for Bai Liu now?"
"All we can do is stay out of the game and keep ourselves out so Bai Liu can freely use our skills." Mu Sicheng was silent for a long time before returning to Mu Ke's words, "This is our only remaining value to him right now."
"At first I told him that buying my soul for 100 points was too cheap for him, and I got a big loss. I didn't expect that I would be useless to him after just one game." Mu Sicheng laughed at himself, lowered his head and looked at his palms, and clenched them hard, "It turns out that he really spent too much on these 100 points."
The feeling of powerlessness that Liu Huai was manipulated and controlled by others, and finally had to die in front of him, rose in Mu Sicheng's heart again - he seemed to always watch helplessly like this, the person who could just be entrusted with a little emotion was enveloped by fate, and walked towards inevitable danger and death in front of him.
The person at the beginning was like this, Liu Huai was like this, and Bai Liu is like this now. He thinks he can do a lot, but it is often too late.
This feeling of loss of control and powerlessness was quickly suppressed by Mu Sicheng's clenched fists.
But Mu Ke found other values faster than Mu Sicheng. He looked down at the lively forum, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Sicheng: "There is one more thing we can do."
Mu Sicheng looked over: "What's the matter?"
Mu Ke's eyes lit up amazingly: "Guild, Bai Liu's guild! The Scavenger Guild he got in the last round of the game!"
"He told me some management ideas." Mu Ke found something he could do for Bai Liu, which calmed him down quickly, making him organized, rational and calm.
"Many powerful players have left this Scavenger Guild. The remaining players are all defeated soldiers who want to rely on Bai Liu. However, these people are not completely worthless. I need the information of all of them, and then sort out their most useful aspects to Bai Liu..."
Mu Ke analyzed one by one what they could do for Bai Liu next, and Mu Sicheng listened attentively.
If Tang Er played here, he would be surprised to find that the "Wandering Circus", which he thought had not grown up ten minutes ago, quickly evolved into the team prototype he saw in other parallel lines after Bai Liu brought the injured Liu Jiayi into the third-level game.
Mu Ke, a thief who is eager to become stronger, begins to serve as the manager of the guild and the stage. For Bai Liu, the little witch blocks his bullets...
Everything seemed destined, and it was moving unstoppably along its predetermined path.
The only possible accident is the hunter himself falling into the abyss.
————————————————————————
Tang Erda stepped into the game, quickly exchanged a bottle of mental bleach and took a big gulp, only then he broke free from the dying feeling of wanting to kill others or himself. He leaned against the entrance of the central hall, closed his eyes and rested, and did not rush to chase Bai Liu.
He caught up with Bai Liu in the central hall, but was unable to kill him. Tang Erda could only wait for Bai Liu to enter the game.
Although Bai Liu's situation would become more dangerous after entering the game, Tang Erda believed that Bai Liu would enter the game soon.
Because Liu Jiayi was injured.
As expected by Tang Erda, he soon received a notification from the system:
[System prompt: Bai Liu, the player whose small TV you have collected, has logged into the game~ Please go and watch~]
After hearing the prompt tone, Tang Erda went to the game login entrance without hesitation.
As Tang Erda walked towards the login entrance, he sent notices with a cold look to the high-level guilds that wanted to hire him for this league.
The content of the notice he sent to these guilds was concise and clear - he wanted to kill Bai Liu, and Tang Erda would join the team of whoever lent him people to help him encircle Bai Liu for free.
I have to say that this is a very tempting bargaining chip. The Rose Hunter, who is powerful and mysterious, is said to have already upgraded his panel to S-level, but has always hidden his panel. Suddenly, he is willing to join a team to participate in this year's league. This is a blockbuster news that can dominate the direction of the league.
The moment Tang Er sent out the notice, it sparked heated discussions within several guilds with high rankings.
In fact, with Tang Erda's strength, he could certainly hunt down Bai Liu single-handedly.
But this has a very important premise, that is, Bai Liu will not escape from each other between games.
If Bai Liu quickly cleared one low-level game after another, using the game's clearance mechanism to cheat and escape, and moving quickly between simple games to avoid Tang Erda's pursuit, then catching Bai Liu would become a very difficult task.
If no one helps fill in other games to stop Bai Liu from entering, then those chasing Bai Liu will simply be dragged around the screen by him, allowing the audience to marvel at his skill in quickly passing the levels - don't ask Tang Erda why he knows this, because he has already been played like this once by Bai Liu from another timeline.
Bai Liu was born for these horror games, and no one can win in his game.
The absolute suppression of combat power will not kill Bai Liu. Tang Er understands this better than anyone else, otherwise Bai Liu would have been killed by him thousands of times, and he would not have despaired enough to develop the skill of [Russian Roulette] to barely kill Bai Liu.
Tang Er relied on this skill to win the league match against [Wandering Circus] - because he killed Bai Liu.
Of course this guy didn't really die. His popularity gave him a golden medal of immunity in the league. Although Bai Liu didn't really die, the moment Bai Liu was killed by Tang Erda using his skills, all members of the circus chose to end the game to ensure Bai Liu's safety, which was to surrender to Tang Erda.
Even though Tang Er was the only one fighting alone on the field at that time, the entire circus team gave up the game without hesitation for a second.
To the well-trained mad dogs in the circus, Bai Liu's life and death mean far more than victory in the league - perhaps only Bai Liu, a psychopath himself, would put victory and money before his own life.
Tang Erda walked to the game login entrance, and at the same time, the notifications he sent out also received responses.
The King's Guild responded to him the fastest.
[System prompt: Player Tang Erda, you have a guild notification from (Queen of Hearts)~]
Tang Er opened the notification on the system panel that the wax on the envelope was in the shape of a playing card of hearts.
[The Queen of Hearts replied: Dear Hunter, I am also tracking Bai Liu. He kidnapped our guild's lovely little witch. If you don't mind, we very much hope to cooperate with you to kill Bai Liu and bring back the little witch.]
[Of course, if you are willing to join our team later, the King's Guild will be honored, but if you are unwilling to join, we will not force you. But in the matter of Bai Liu, I believe we can reach a pleasant short-term cooperation for both parties~]
Tang Erda's eyes darkened when he saw this notice.
Heart, a magical woman.
She is the only woman Tang Erda knows of who has a direct relationship with Bai Liu, except for the little witch, in all the timelines he has seen.
Tang Erda felt a very subtle and discordant feeling when he saw the invitation from Red Heart to cooperate in hunting down Bai Liu - because the Queen of Hearts in other time periods was not so friendly to him most of the time.
In different timelines, everyone's identity and circumstances are different, and the choices made in each event will lead to different futures for the same person - this is the theory of parallel time and space.
Just like there are no two identical leaves in this world, even if there are the same people in each timeline, they will not have the same future, because everyone in each timeline will make different choices at different nodes, leading to completely different lives.
Except for Bai Liu, who is like a bug and a counterexample that violates this theory.
Bai Liu is too stable to be like a normal human being. In each timeline, when faced with a major event that can determine the direction of his future life, Bai Liu will make the same decision without hesitation, allowing him to take the path that will earn him the most money. Therefore, in each timeline, no matter how many twists and turns or differences there are in the middle, Bai Liu will eventually become a heretic smuggler.
Regarding this, Bai Liu from another time and space once said something very interesting to Tang Erda. He smiled and said to Tang Erda that most of the ways to make money quickly in this world stimulate people's consumption impulse by arousing their desires.
But is there anything more appealing to the human heart than selling evil itself?
Indeed, there was no more. Bai Liu had already proved this to Tang Er with a smile in countless timelines.
Bai Liu's desire for money is as stable as a fixed coordinate in different timelines, without any fluctuation at all. This makes him move towards the same future in each timeline - which is abnormal in itself.
It is impossible for a human being to be so stable.
Take for example the Red Heart in other timelines. This woman is Bai Liu's rumored mistress one moment, Bai Liu's smuggling partner the next, and then she opposes Bai Liu and helps the Bureau of Heresy kill him. Sometimes she has no connection with Bai Liu at all - this is a normal person's [Future Fluctuation Curve].
In the absence of major changes in a person's growth environment, many basic situations can be determined. That is to say, a person does not have infinite possible parallel time and space. A person's derived future revolves around a [standard future value], fluctuating within a roughly determined upper and lower limit - for example, this is the case with the woman Red Heart.
She is connected to Bai Liu in most of the timelines, but her attitude towards Bai Liu is completely different in each timeline because her stance is different.
