After beating Tang Er until he looked not so weak, and nursing him from one breath to two, Liu Jiayi stopped in time - she had finally made this man completely powerless, and she didn't dare to revive this big fool directly.
"Then what?" Liu Jiayi raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Liu, "What are you going to do?"
Bai Liu casually sat down cross-legged beside Tang Erda: "It's rare to let him calm down, I'm going to chat with him."
"Then let's talk about a win-win deal." Bai Liu looked at Liu Jiayi with a smile.
When Liu Jiayi saw Bai Liu's smile, she silently took two steps back, then rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and couldn't help but look at the still unconscious Tang Erda with some pity.
——Poor fool, he is about to be deceived by Bai Liu.
Qi Yifang's terrified voice came from far away. He seemed to be running towards this side. The magic trick between Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu just now scared this outsider who was still counting numbers. He just came to his senses and walked towards the corridor.
Liu Jiayi put away the antidote and stood up: "I'll go outside to stop Qi Yifang. I'll give you fifteen minutes to deal with this Tang thing. Is that enough time?"
Bai Liu leaned against the wall in the corridor and lazily raised his hand to make an OK gesture.
Liu Jiayi turned around and left. Before she left, she threw a bottle of antidote to Bai Liu without looking back: "Before you deal with others, take care of yourself first."
"You took my skill panel and still got hurt like this. What a shame."
Bai Liu raised his hand to wipe the blood that was dripping from the corner of his mouth, then he steadily caught the antidote that Liu Jiayi threw to him, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
He did have Liu Jiayi's witch panel, but Bai Liu had almost exhausted his physical strength in the confrontation with Tang Er just now. He had no time to replenish his physical strength and could not use Liu Jiayi's skills.
Not to mention that Bai Liu, as a person with a strong player mentality, is indeed not very sensitive to his own health value.
If Liu Jiayi had not noticed in time that Bai Liu's health was too low and given him the antidote, Bai Liu would most likely have negotiated with Tang Erda with his meager three health points.
If Tang Er were to turn against him, he might really be in trouble.
The little witch waved her hand impatiently and left.
In the dark corridor, only Bai Liu and Tang Erda were left, the two opponents who were still struggling to survive after a fierce battle.
After Bai Liu drank the antidote and stamina recovery potion and restored his panel to full value, he moved closer and patted Tang Er's bloody face.
Tang Erda's suicide bullet had blown half of his face into bloody holes, and a lot of blood was flowing from his body. His breathing and heartbeat were almost inaudible. If Liu Jiayi hadn't forcibly kept him alive, he would have died by now.
Now being hit so vigorously by Bai Liu, Tang Erda opened his eyes slightly, a faint blue light shone faintly from his pupils, it was the only bright color in this dark corridor.
The moment he saw Bai Liu, Tang Erda's fingers soaked in blood moved reflexively, as if he wanted to summon a gun, but in the end he let go powerlessly - he no longer had the strength to fight.
He could only stare at Bai Liu with his bloodshot blue eyes, as if he wanted to turn over and grab Bai Liu's ankles, and said laboriously, word by word: "...let go...Su Yang..."
"Actually, I'm very curious." Bai Liu didn't dodge. Instead, he leaned closer to Tang Erda and looked him straight in the face. "I saw in the mirror that Su Yang, the one who made you embark on the journey of hunting me down, should be dead now. Even his soul has disappeared, right?"
Tang Erda's pupils suddenly shrank as he tried to catch Bai Liu.
Bai Liu continued to ask calmly: "No matter what, even if your wish comes true in the end, everyone is saved, and I die in every timeline and no longer harm others, but the Su Yan you want to save the most, won't he still not come back?"
"Then what's the point of you hunting me down?"
Tang Erda, lying on the ground, was like a dead statue, motionless, with only his fingers curled up together, as if he wanted to make a fist, but he was too tired.
Tang Erda was unable to even make a fist. He could only stare blankly at the dark ceiling of the corridor, with countless chaotic voices in his mind.
[…Terrible opponents, terrible wandering circus. Because of Xiao Chou’s existence, many people don’t have the courage to fight them!] A voice explained passionately, [But the other team in today’s finals is obviously not such a coward. They bravely faced the wandering circus!]
[You should know that Xiao Chou's sniper skill is the Soul Crusher Gun! This is no secret among all of us players. This is the news that their captain Bai Liu tacitly allowed to be released.]
[This is a very scary skill, and has caused many teams to surrender before the confrontation - because once hit by the ugly sniper, even the soul will be shattered into millions of pieces in an instant! ]
[Those who have experienced that kind of pain can no longer tell us about it, because they have all left this world. But this is not the scariest thing about the Soul Crushing Gun. The scariest thing about this gun is——]
[——It will completely kill a person. There is no possibility of resurrection. It will completely and utterly disappear from this world.]
[Even if time were to start over, even if the mountains and seas were to turn upside down, it would be absolutely impossible to be resurrected. ]
[Because his soul has completely disappeared. ]
【Today! From our previous interview, we learned that the main target of the Wandering Circus Chou Sniper is the leader of another team, Mr. Hunter, who is also a gunner! It seems that we can enjoy a fierce confrontation and collision between top players of the same skills! 】
The noisy background sound of the stadium, the dazzling magnesium lights shining down from the top of nowhere, the spectators cheering and whistling, and another team walking towards them from afar.
The man with the mask of a giggling little clown stood behind Bai Liu, who had a gentle smile on his face. Liu Jiayi, Mu Sicheng, and Mu Ke stood on both sides of Bai Liu in various lazy postures.
Bai Liurao looked at him with interest, stretched out his hand to shake his hand as a routine before the game started, and said something that Tang Erda still couldn't get out of his mind.
Bai Liu smiled and said, "You have something that I don't have, Mr. Hunter. I am very curious about you."
"I want to know what it would take for you to throw something away."
Tang Er withdrew his hand alertly: "No matter what you are talking about, I will not throw it away easily."
"Oh, really?" Bai Liu still had that same polite smile on his face. He glanced at Su Yang standing behind Tang Erda with an ambiguous look, and the smile on his face deepened slightly. "Mr. Hunter, you'd better prohibit romance within the team. It's not suitable for the team."
Tang Erda was startled, and Su Yang's expression behind him changed slightly.
Bai Liu waved his finger as if he hadn't said anything, then turned and left with a smile.
"In-team romance?" Tang Er frowned and turned to look at Su Yang in confusion, "Aren't all the members of our team men? How could there be an in-team romance?"
Su Yang's face turned pale in an instant. He looked up at Tang Erda for a long time, and finally laughed helplessly, as if he was accepting defeat by compromise.
He raised his light-colored eyes and looked at Tang Erda tenderly. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if he was prepared to make mistakes. He said softly, "He was talking about me, Captain."
"I like you, and I had no intention of telling you. I was going to keep this secret until I die." Su Yang lowered his eyes and smiled softly, "It's a pity that Bai Liu saw through it at a glance."
"Su Yang in the first world line has a crush on you, right?" Bai Liu looked down at Tang Erda and said, "I saw it in the mirror. You are so slow-witted. Can't you tell from her eyes that Su Yang likes you?"
What people fear is not only the things they fear, but also the unexpected happiness hidden beneath these things that they have missed.
Su Yang always stared into Tang Erda's light-colored eyes. On the court, she was always the best assistant who followed Tang Erda's attacks the fastest. When people regarded her as Tang Erda's virtuous wife, she would blush slightly, and then quickly look at Tang Erda's panicked expression as he was at a loss for words.
They were the best duo that swept the competition that year. Their tacit understanding even beat another couple of double players who had always been ranked first. When Tang Erda was standing on the victory podium with his arm around Su Yang's shoulders and smiling, he turned his head and asked Su Yang what reward she wanted.
Tang Erda knew that in order to win and catch up with him and cooperate with him, Su Yang really paid a lot and trained himself for a long time. Tang Erda once accidentally saw Su Yang's sleeves slipping down while he was eating, and his hands were full of old scars left by training.
Tang Er felt that he should give himself an excellent deputy captain reward.
Su Yang just looked up at him for a long time, as if victory was not as attractive to him as Tang Er hitting him in the face. Then Su Yang narrowed his eyes, revealing a very, very happy and brilliant smile, and said -
——Being able to stand with the captain now is the greatest reward for me.
——I hope that next time the captain encounters something, he won’t have to handle it alone, but can think of me.
[I want to always be the captain's reliable vice-captain. ]
Su Yang always said this, and always followed Tang Erda silently. Tang Er couldn't dodge or get rid of her. He always turned around to see Su Yang standing behind him, asking him what he needed.
Su Yang has always been his best vice-captain, and he has never thought about why.
And when Tang Erda finally understood, it was too late. His mind was blank after Su Yang's confession. Although he said seriously that he would seriously consider it, he was already panicking in his heart.
Su Yang just waved his hands, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Captain, don't worry about it. Just pretend I never said that. If Bai Liu hadn't brought it up on purpose, I wouldn't have said it now."
——When you have time, please consider what I said. I just think that...
Su Yang turned around against the light amid the cheers from the stadium. He still had that gentle smile on his face, but for some reason that smile revealed a lingering sadness.
——Just at that moment, when you asked me, Captain, I suddenly felt that if I didn’t tell you now, I might really have no chance.
The wandering circus on the field was pressing very closely, and with the presence of the ugly sniper, they were afraid to act rashly. Tang Erda had originally planned to use himself as bait to lure the ugly sniper to open fire.
As long as Xiao Chou fires a shot, they have at least fifteen minutes of the opponent's skill cooldown time to act freely.
But Xiao Chou didn't know what orders he received from Bai Liu. This guy has always been impulsive and crazy, but this time, no matter how Tang Erda provoked him, he just wandered around the periphery, causing considerable pressure on Tang Erda and the others.
Soon, Tang Er understood Bai Liu's intention—this guy was preparing for a tug of war!
The panels of Bai Liu's team members are higher than those of the new generation that Tang Er is fighting. After pulling the saw and exhausting their stamina bars, they have no advantage at all.
Tang Erda gritted his teeth and leaned against the wall. He had already lost two members of his team due to the opponent's hard wear and tear. If this continued -
But the bait is not enough and the little ugly boy won’t take the bait!
"Captain." Su Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and said, "Let me be the bait, too."
"No." Tang Er rejected it outright. "You can't be bait. Xiao Chou is mainly targeting me. He won't shoot you if you leave."
"Their target is indeed you, Captain." Su Yang laughed and held up a skill card with the Ace of Hearts. "But it's not that I can't completely turn into you, Captain. This is an item I won from a player named Heart. It can completely turn me into... you in my heart, and no one will be able to see the flaw."
This kind of high-end disguise prop usually has very strict usage conditions. Tang Er frowned: "What are the conditions for using this prop?"
"Mirror." Su Yang lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "All I need is a mirror that allows me to see myself, and then I can become you."
