Tang Erda frowned in disbelief: "Is it really that simple for you to just look in the mirror? You can completely become me?"

Su Yang raised his head and smiled, "It's just that simple. Nothing else is needed - I just need to look in the mirror, that's all."

Tang Erda looked at another team member: "Su Yang, you are a support, your attack value is too low, you can't even fight a bait, give me the props..."

"No, Captain." Su Yang looked straight at Tang Erda, something seemed to be flashing in his eyes, but the smile on his face was very real, "This prop is only used by me, so I can turn into you by looking at the mirror."

"I'm probably the only one in the world who can use this tool like this."

Tang Erda and Su Yang looked at each other, and Su Yang looked at Tang Erda without dodging - in fact, they both knew in their hearts at this moment that it didn't matter who came to be the other bait, whether their attack value was high or not.

They were doomed to lose.

——The only question is who gets hit by the ugly sniper.

Tang Erda hoped that he would be the one who got hit, and the other person, at least, would not be Su Yang.

Su Yang stood up, straightened his back, and saluted Tang Er: "Captain! Please let me be your deputy captain and support you until the last moment!"

Tang Erda was defeated fiercely under Su Yang's frank and straightforward gaze. He felt that his slight selfishness seemed to be seen through by Su Yang.

Just like he couldn't stop Su Yang from going to find him and following him into the game, he couldn't stop this person from continuing to follow him - Su Yang got what he wished and became another Tang Erda.

They split into two groups, with another team member supporting them from a distance, observing which bait the Xiao Chou sniper would choose to attack - with two baits, Xiao Chou could only choose to roam around and surround one, and he had to choose to kill one, otherwise Tang Erda's firepower would put pressure on the wandering circus in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, Xiao Chou made his choice very quickly. When he saw that strange smiling face approaching him, Tang Er even breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart - he became the bait that Xiao Chou wanted to eat.

After a fierce battle, Tang Er launched a crazy suicide attack that killed Mu Ke from the wandering circus, seriously injured Mu Sicheng, and ate more than half of Bai Liu's skin. The ugly sniper finally seemed to be out of control.

After seeing Bai Liu injured, Xiao Chou disobeyed Bai Liu's orders and stopped using his skills as a threat. Instead, he shot at Tang Er.

A grayish-white flame gathered at the muzzle of the gun into the shape of a skull - Tang Er realized that the opponent was using a skill.

Soul shattered? That seems like a good ending, Tang Er thought as he stared at the huge black muzzle of the gun.

He even smiled a relieved smile - at least for the next fifteen minutes, Su Yang and the other person were safe.

As long as they finished the game within fifteen minutes, they would be fine, win or lose - except -

A second before Tang Erda was hit by the bullet, he somehow thought of the way Su Yang lowered her eyes and whispered that she liked him. For some reason, his heart beat faster.

Fortunately, he did not agree, otherwise if he died, Su Yang would definitely be very sad.

[System prompt: Player Su Yang uses the skill Spade A poker, skill (Heart to Heart), to exchange positions with player Tang Erda]

Tang Erda may never forget what happened next.

He was so kind and upright that the deputy captain, who would stutter when he lied about helping his teammates to get leave, might have only told him such a lie in his life without being discovered.

Tang Erda still remembers this lie.

That Hearts skill card was not one, but a pair. Su Yang had already decided that no matter which bait the little clown wanted, he would block it for him - that's why Su Yang was so determined to follow him.

The bone whip swung from behind followed closely behind Su Yang, shaking left and right in a "z" shape, blocking Su Yang's escape route.

After Bai Liu realized that Xiao Chou had already used his skills, he simply didn't waste it and reacted very quickly to cooperate with Xiao Chou in this sniper attack. He swung the bone whip and grabbed Su Yang's neck, trapping Su Yang in place.

And just one second later, the silver bullet penetrated Su Yang's temple.

Blood exploded on Tang Erda's face before he could come to his senses.

Su Yang instantly shed Tang Erda's outer shell, his eyes went blank, he returned to his original appearance, and fell to the ground.

He died too quickly, without leaving any words for Tang Erda. In his hand, he was still holding the poker card that had released the skill, with the image of Tang Erda in the heart.

The only team member on the other side was also surrounded and killed by Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng.

Tang Er was the only one left on the field, kneeling blankly in front of Su Yang's body. All the other members of the wandering circus were rushing over here - the winner was already decided.

But the only thing in Tang Er's mind was the exaggerated commentator's voice before the game:

——【Soul Breaker Gun! Which one is more powerful, this gun or the Hunter's revolver? ! Of course, the only thing we know is that the Soul Breaker Gun must be more painful. After all, people who are hit by the Soul Breaker Gun have horrible faces before they die. You can tell at a glance that they are in extreme pain! People who are hit by the Hunter's revolver will not have such an expression! 】

Tang Erda's gaze slowly moved downwards. He originally didn't want to look at Su Yang's face, but at this moment, if he didn't look, it would seem like he was not making any plans. This was his deputy captain, so he looked.

The strange thing was that Su Yang did not look grim. He had a peaceful smile on his face and there were whip marks on his neck. He seemed to be lying in a pool of blood very happily.

At that moment, Tang Er understood what Su Yang was thinking - this guy had the same idea as him before he died.

Once I think that another person can survive because of my death, I feel happy about it. Even the pain of death and soul-breaking cannot cover up this happiness - because the other person is the most important person in my heart.

[Being able to stand with the captain now is the greatest reward for me! ]

[Captain!! You asked for leave again to drink!! You can't do this even if you are not a heretic! ]

[Captain, you are already 36, why don’t you consider getting married? ...No idea of ​​getting married? = =With this answer, no wonder you are the one who is urged to get married the most in the team every year...]

[Me? Why don’t I get married? …Maybe it’s because…the person I like doesn’t want to get married either.]

It was at the Bureau of Heresy's year-end celebration.

Tang Erda took a sip of wine and advised his seemingly too innocent deputy captain earnestly: "You should give up on this kind of person as soon as possible. He is just hanging you. You are almost thirty and he still hasn't talked about marriage with you - he is probably a scumbag."

Su Yang, who was a little drunk, leaned on Tang Erda. He squinted his eyes and smiled, like a child who had eaten candy: "He didn't hang me, he was just really... too slow."

Su Yang drunkenly hugged Tang Erda and said, "But...it doesn't matter. You can't get rid of me. I will always, always..."

His eyes gradually closed due to drunkenness: "——Just wait."

On the borderline, Bai Liu and the wandering circus were preparing to give Tang Er the final blow, and the hunter finally raised his gun at this moment, with the same happy smile as Su Yang who was lying on the ground.

Tang Er closed his eyes and muttered to himself as if he was talking to Su Yang softly:

"I won't keep you waiting any longer."

[System prompt: Player Tang Er's skill locks the target to himself. Because the skill locks the target to himself, it is forbidden to lock himself repeatedly. The lock target is automatically changed to the player with the heaviest murderous intent - player Bai Liu]

[System prompt: The turntable starts spinning...]

The bullet passed through the hunter's head and dramatically hit the enemy's captain, and the wandering circus collectively withdrew from the game.

And Tang Erda won the game that made him lose everything in such a ridiculous way.

——One person’s victory.

Those guys didn't care about winning the game at all, so they gave up so easily. They simply got the pleasure of the game by toying with their opponents.

This brutal match for Tang Er was just a fairly enjoyable game for the wandering circus.

The god asked him what his wish was. The hunter who had won everything raised his head with a dazed look and made an unstoppable wish:

[I want everyone, especially Su Yang, to survive this game.]

The gods asked him: "For this, are you willing to pay any price?"

Tang Er closed his eyes, tears silently dripping down his cheeks: [Okay.]

Tang Er, lying on the ground, stared blankly at the top of the corridor. His soul seemed to have floated to a very far place. It took him a very long time to think before he could hear Bai Liu's words and answer them.

Bai Liu asked him, "Is there any meaning in saving these Su Yangs? The Su Yangs you wanted to save in the beginning were not them, right?"

"I know..." Tang Er opened and closed his lips, his voice choked with sobs and hoarseness, "I know there is no way to save him, but I just can't accept that I couldn't save Su Yang from your hands even once."

"I'm unwilling to accept that you torture him every time!!!" Tang Erda struggled to get up from the ground, his face full of tears. He knelt on the ground, holding a faintly visible silver gun, pointing it straight at Bai Liu.

This man's hands were shaking and his body was trembling. Liu Jiayi had just checked and found that Tang Erda might have blew away half of his brain. But now he could still stand up and forcefully summon skills towards Bai Liu - in every sense, this guy's willpower was truly outstanding.

"Only, as long as I'm still alive." Because most of his brain was blown up, Tang Erda's eyes had begun to turn gray. Now he couldn't see most of the time, and couldn't aim at Bai Liu at all. He could only shoot everywhere like a headless fly, screaming and collapsing, "You absolutely cannot easily pass me and hurt any innocent person!"

“Bang—bang—bang—!”

Bai Liu stood up. He looked down at Tang Erda calmly as he knelt on the ground, stumbling and groping for his shot, and then, after exhausting all his strength, he fell to the ground, convulsing and struggling.

The gun landed just in front of Tang Erda's finger and flickered as if it was about to disappear, but Tang Erda looked around but couldn't find it.

A hunter without a gun, a trapped and wounded beast.

Bai Liu walked in front of Tang Erda, squatted on one knee, picked up the gun and put it in Tang Erda's palm, then held Tang Erda's hand and raised the gun to his forehead, saying in a lukewarm tone: "If you want to kill me, you can do it now."

A look of surprise appeared on Tang Erda's face.

"I understand that you don't trust me, and I won't trust you either, but from what I know, we should be in the same camp." Bai Liu raised his eyes and explained to Tang Erda in detail, "I don't know about other world lines, but at least in this world line, I don't have much interest in torturing your vice-captain. Someone set a trap for you to force me to do what he thinks I should do."

"Unfortunately, I am a rebellious person and I don't like to follow others." Bai Liu opened his eyelids. "If he wants you to kill me or I kill you, then I must save you and solve the rose perfume issue. Let's see what he wants to do."

"You've gone through so many world lines with me, so you should be very clear about my skills. You can distrust me, but at least you should believe in my deal. If I break the deal, I won't end up well."

Bai Liu held out his hand to Tang Erda and smiled: "Give me your soul and I will help you realize your wish, how about that?"

Tang Erda seemed to have noticed Bai Liu's hand reaching out to him. He struggled to prop up half of his body and used all his strength to push Bai Liu's hand away.

Tang Er panted heavily, fiercely pulled his gun back from Bai Liu's hand, and aimed it again at the position where he heard Bai Liu's breathing, and said word by word: "Bai Liu, do you think I will believe you if you say that? Yes, it's true that the consequences of your violation of trading skills are indeed serious, but you have not tried without a solution."

Bai Liu took a half step back with some regret - this guy really wasn't that easy to convince, he was too sensitive.

Just as Tang Erda said, Bai Liu did have a plan prepared to deal with the failure of the transaction, and he was not completely unable to deal with such an outcome - it seemed that Tang Erda had indeed been tortured by Bai Liu many times, and even something like this had been predicted.

Tang Er raised up the half of his face with great difficulty, and looked at Bai Liu with his lifeless blue eyes. The gun in his hand swayed slightly. "I will never cooperate with a monster."

Bai Liu asked softly, "Captain Tang, why are you so sure that I am a monster, or a living heretic?"

"Do I look very different from a normal person?"

Tang Erda took a deep breath, leaned against the wall and panted twice before he could continue: "Of course it's different. You are just a monster in the guise of a normal person, living among ordinary people!"

"In other world lines, the Bureau of Heresy uses a tool to distinguish between living heretics, that is, monsters that look exactly like normal people, and normal living people." Tang Erda showed a very distorted expression on his face, "You are also familiar with this tool. It is the Murphy's Theorem magic mirror you just used on me."

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: "Really? This is the first time I've heard of using this mirror to distinguish between monsters and living people."

Tang Erda said: "This mirror allows a person to see what he fears the most, but monsters have nothing to fear because they have no emotions, no heart, and their souls are filled with desires. They only know how to attack and plunder."

"We have done this test on you in almost every world line except this one. You have nothing to fear in every world. When you stand in front of this mirror, there is nothing in the mirror! Not even yourself!"

Tang Erda started coughing violently because he was speaking so passionately.

His mouth was covered in blood foam and he slid down the wall, but the muzzle of his gun was still pointed at Bai Liu.

"We learned about your weakness for water from your own experience, but for you, water is not something you are afraid of. At best, you just hate it."

"You were able to build this corridor with two mirrors without being affected by them because these mirrors are useless to you, Bai Liu, you are a monster who is afraid of nothing."

"I will never make a deal with you." As he said that, Tang Erda was about to pull the trigger again.

This time Bai Liu stood right in front of him. Instead of dodging, he moved even closer to Tang Erda, almost face to face with him, and reached out to grasp the muzzle of his gun.

"Yes." Bai Liu lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled slightly. "I do have things I'm afraid of."

"Do you want to see it?"

Tang Erda was really stunned this time.

At the same time, Liu Jiayi, who was standing outside the door, took out the diary again and began to read it with his head down.

Qi Yifang was stopped outside the door by Liu Jiayi. Seeing her reading the diary again, he leaned over curiously and said, "Little witch, haven't you read it once? Are there any clues to the game in it?"

"No more." Liu Jiayi continued to flip through the pages without looking up. "It's not a game. I'm trying to determine the whereabouts of that god-level NPC."

Qi Yifang fell into confusion again: "???"

What is this? Why is it related to the god-level NPC again?!

Liu Jiayi placed her finger under the handwriting in the diary and frowned to check the path of the statue.

——appeared in a seaside town, then transferred to an orphanage, and finally purchased to this rose factory.

That's right, the path of this statue roughly matches the several games where god-level NPCs appear. According to the description in this diary, the order is "Siren Town", "Love Welfare Home" and this "Rose Factory".

Liu Jiayi's expression darkened - but something didn't seem right.

There is one more game that features god-level NPCs - "Mirror City Bombing".

According to the track given in this diary, there is no way that this statue could have been on the subway - the statue was initially kept in a museum in a remote coastal town, and was later transported directly to an orphanage by truck. Later, it was purchased by this psychopathic factory manager, cut into pieces, and buried in a rose field.

In other words, if the statue represents a god-level NPC, when the subway explosion occurred in Mirror City, the statue should still be in the welfare home and would not appear on the subway at all.

According to the corresponding relationship that god-level NPCs will appear in games only when god statues appear in reality, there shouldn't be god-level NPCs in "Last Train to Explosion".

In other words, what appeared on the subway was not a real statue, or a god-level NPC, but simply a magic mirror.

Why can Bai Liu see the god-level NPC through that mirror in the game?

The ability of the mirror, she remembered, was -

Liu Jiayi slammed the diary shut and looked back at the closed corridor with a look of shock.

——She knew why Bai Liu could see the god-level NPC in the mirror of the Last Explosive Train.

Bai Liu must be afraid of the god-level NPC, and then after looking into the mirror, he saw the god-level NPC he was afraid of through the mirror's skills!

"That's not right." Liu Jiayi muttered to herself in a strange way. She touched her chin and said, "That guy Bai Liu doesn't look like he's afraid of the god-level NPC. Then what is he afraid of? Why can he see the god-level NPC in the mirror?"

"If they are not afraid of the God-level NPC itself, then is it possible that they are afraid of a certain state of the God-level NPC?"

Liu Jiayi held her head in her hands and thought hard. She tried to recall what she saw in the video: "I remember when Bai Liu first saw Tawil in the video of "The Last Train", he looked like he was floating in the water, with his hair spread out, and his face looked like -"

There was a kind of restless emotion surging in Bai Liu's eyes in the corridor, but strangely, his expression was incredibly calm. However, Tang Erda, who was approached by such a calm Bai Liu, had the illusion that he was uncontrollably infected by Bai Liu's emotions.

Tang Erda felt a deep, unmistakable, and very familiar negative emotion from Bai Liu—it was the all-consuming pain and fear he felt when he saw Su Yang's corpse.

Under the approach of such a strong and similar emotion, Tang Erda even couldn't help but want to step back to avoid Bai Liu's approach.

But he was too weak. Bai Liu easily clamped Tang Erda's chin with the base of his right hand, grasped the muzzle of Tang Erda's gun with his left hand, and then approached him forcefully.

Bai Liu whispered softly in Tang Erda's ear, her tone as nonchalant as if she was telling a lie:

"Captain Tang, I'm really afraid of something."

"Ever since I was a kid, I've been afraid of seeing someone close their eyes in front of me and never open them again."
