Tang Erda's breathing stopped for a moment, he remembered - when Bai Liu shattered the mirror in the "Last Train" video, the god-level NPC with closed eyes in the mirror.
Could it be that it wasn't originally in the copy, but was reflected because of Bai Liu's fear? !
Bai Liu pushed aside the blood-coagulated hair by Tang Erda's ears, letting Tang Erda lean on his shoulder without any escape, and then whispered, "Do you want to face my fear?"
As he spoke, Bai Liu's hand slowly moved upwards, and a huge mirror shining with diamond light appeared in front of him. The ripples in the mirror surged, as if something would emerge from it in the next second.
"No--!" Tang Er wanted to turn his head desperately. He didn't want to see the mirror again, but he was too close to Bai Liu. When he turned his head, it happened to lean against Bai Liu's shoulder - it was a posture that gave a feeling of dependence, which made Tang Er, who was not used to relying on anyone, consciously want to get his head out of Bai Liu's shoulder.
"It's okay." Bai Liu's tone was gentler than ever before. He inserted his fingers into the blood-stained hair on the back of Tang Erda's head and kneaded and separated them soothingly, as if he was soothing a restless pet dog. "This time, the mirror is used on me. Your Su Yang will be fine."
The weak Tang Erda stopped struggling in a trance under Bai Liu's comfort. Bai Liu gently turned Tang Erda's face, lifted his chin so that he faced the mirror - the moment Tang Erda saw the situation in the mirror, his pupils suddenly shrank.
——He saw a person, a child drowned in water countless times, locked in a marble sculpture for people to watch, saw the child being tied up and blood drawn, with pinholes all over his body, saw the person being crushed and cut, brutally dismembered and his still beating heart dug out and placed in a room in the factory, where someone kept pouring boiling liquid into him.
The perfume pumped into his heart like blood, forcing it to throb and beat in pain. The heart he saw in the factory room was actually...
Such a cruel scene was beyond Tang Erda's tolerance. He couldn't help but tremble all over, vomited, and turned his face to the side to escape this scene.
He thought he had seen the limits of torture for the living, but he never knew that torture would not stop even after death.
Bai Liu did not allow Tang Er to turn his head away, but instead held his head firmly with his hands, forcing him to face the scene in the mirror.
"You see, we are the same." Bai Liu said softly beside Tang Erda, whose expression was blank. "We all feel fear, anger, and uncontrollable empathy because of someone's torture."
"I can feel other people's pain." Bai Liu lowered his eyes, knelt on his knees, and leaned forward slightly. When Tang Erda leaned back to avoid the attack, Bai Liu unexpectedly hugged Tang Erda tightly, "I know you are in great pain, just like me, Captain Tang."
"Please believe me, I will not cause you any more pain. Let the pain I caused in the past stop here."
"Although I am not those Bai Liu, I know you may want to hear me say these three words to you - I'm sorry, and thank you for your hard work all along." Bai Liu patted his shoulder.
Tang Erda, who was hugged, was stunned and raised his head in disbelief, tears streaming down his gray-blue eyes uncontrollably.
Bai Liu... No, it was Bai Liu who apologized to him?
Tavel in the mirror raised his eyes, his silver-blue eyes were like a piece of ice crystal melting in the sunlight. Tang Er was dazzled by the gaze of these eyes, and a white light appeared in front of his forehead, which made him almost faint.
The white light spread very far, floating in front of Tang Erda's eyes like an aurora. He seemed to become lighter in an instant, floating endlessly in the light. He saw Su Yang's smiling face in the light. The man stood in front of him, stubbornly and persistently questioning him:
"Captain, why are you so determined to convict Bai Liu? There is no evidence, right?"
He seemed to have said something that angered Su Yang. Su Yang had never been so angry before. He yelled at him: "Captain, if we act purely on emotion and desire, what is the difference between us and those heretics!"
"No matter when, you must use your eyes and evidence to determine whether this person is a monster or a human!"
After yelling, Su Yang lowered his head in bewilderment.
He seemed to want to leave, but was stopped by Su Yang. The two of them stood there in the narrow corridor of the Bureau of Heresy. After an unknown amount of time, Su Yang suddenly took a deep breath and raised his head:
"If one day, the captain really can't hold on any longer, he will be contaminated like everyone else."
"I will definitely rescue you."
Su Yang smiled as if he had never lost his temper with him. He took a step forward and seemed to open his lips and whisper something: "——"
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and whispered to Tang Erda's head: "——"
The two people's voices merged and overlapped in Tang Erda's ears indistinguishably: "Captain Tang, if you really can't hold on, leave the rest to me."
Bai Liu hugged Tang Erda's head and said softly, "Give me your wishes, give me your soul, give me your pain, and let me, who was the culprit, bear all of this for you. This is what I should do."
Tang Erda, who was dying, breathing weakly and with half of his face missing, leaned on Bai Liu's shoulder. He looked up as if his soul had been sucked out of him, and his hands fell to the ground without any strength, and he didn't react at all.
After an unknown amount of time, a tear dripped down Tang Erda's chin. His fingers moved, and he raised his arm very slowly, laboriously, and struggled. He hugged Bai Liu back in pain, as if he was going to die the next moment, sobbing with gritted teeth:
"Bai Liu, this is the last time. This is the last time I trust you in my transaction."
Bai Liu showed a comfortable smile on his face: "You won't regret it."
Tang Er closed his eyes and said, "I will give you my soul. In exchange, you must fulfill my wish."
Bai Liu smiled: "I have already left the money for you, I won't pay more."
Tang Erda was stunned for a moment, then realized that Bai Liu was talking about the room full of dimes that this man left behind when he escaped from the Bureau of Heresy.
Tang Erda finally relaxed while being speechless. He looked into the distance, and it was unknown what he was thinking about. A slight smile appeared on his face, and his voice was vague:
"You really are... just as picky as before."
"I hope you don't mind my little habit too much. After all, it looks like -" Bai Liu held up a soul coin with Tang Erda's portrait printed on it, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "- we should be working together for a long time."

Temple.
The moment Tang Er agreed to the deal, the Hunter card on the table floated in the air and turned from a crying hunter into a hunter with a werewolf mask and fierce eyes, and floated from the prophet to the hooded man.
The hooded man held the floating card between two fingers. He looked at the prophet across from him and said with a smile: "The last card you can play, the Hunter, has also been changed to a Werewolf card. What are you going to do now?"
The prophet's eyes stayed on the werewolf card: "The game is not over yet."
The hooded man looked at the rose card he had placed with a half-smile: "Soon."
"All the clues have been gathered. Bai Liu will not let this game last too long."
——————————
Bai Liu walked out of the corridor. Liu Jiayi looked down at the time and said, "Sixteen minutes. Have you dealt with that idiot?"
"Okay." Bai Liu straightened his clothes and cuffs, which were all stained with blood from the fight with Tang Er. Fortunately, he didn't care much.
He turned to look at Liu Jiayi: "Go in and treat him."
Liu Jiayi rolled her eyes and walked in with two bottles of antidote: "You don't really mind what he did."
"If I minded this, I would be the first to make things difficult for you." Bai Liu smiled and looked at Liu Jiayi for a while, "Obviously I'm not that kind of person. This doesn't conform to my principle of doing things in the best interest of the people."
Liu Jiayi silently withdrew her gaze and walked inside obediently with the antidote in hand.
Bai Liu added, "We'll need him to fight the monsters in the world later. Try to make him fully recovered. He is my personal property now. I don't want to see him fighting for me in an injured state."
"Got it!" Liu Jiayi waved her hand impatiently.
Qi Yifang stared in amazement as Bai Liu summoned the little witch so naturally - the little witch was on the same level as the Queen of Hearts in the King's Guild, and her status was extremely transcendent and noble. Even the Queen would not summon the little witch like she was a soldier.
Bai Liu also saw Qi Yifang and nodded to him without hesitation. He even stretched out his hand hypocritically to shake Qi Yifang's hand and said, "I like your skills very much. If you have the chance, please switch to our team and play."
Qi Yifang: “…”
What the hell is this an opening statement!
Bai Liu's overly frank and shameless attitude made Qi Yifang begin to doubt whether this man was just joking with him. Just as Qi Yifang was suspiciously thinking about Bai Liu's implied meaning, Tang Erda followed Liu Jiayi out.
Captain Tang, who had just switched camps, was obviously not very adaptable. He wanted to draw his gun when he saw Bai Liu. However, he soon remembered that he had just been rescued by the little witch sent by Bai Liu when he heard Liu Jiayi's weird snort. So he put away his gun awkwardly.
Tang Erda felt uncomfortable looking at Liu Jiayi, who was looking him up and down with an extremely harsh look, and Bai Liu who was standing next to him - these people were real enemies in the past, the kind he had fought to the death!
Not to mention the distant ones, let’s just talk about the recent ones. Just before entering the game, he almost shot and killed Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi.
Tang Erda, who had just finished trading with Bai Liu for ten minutes, had already begun to regret it - he felt that his brain must have been confused by something ten minutes ago, or that Bai Liu had hypnotized him with some props.
He must be crazy to choose to trade souls with Bai Liu!
Just when Tang Erda was secretly regretting his impulsive consumption (?), Bai Liu suddenly stretched out his hand to him. This made Tang Erda, who was very wary of Bai Liu and had very good reflexes, subconsciously draw his gun and aim at him again.
Bai Liu was obviously extending a hand out of friendship, and Tang Erda was pointing his gun at him with a fierce look in his eyes.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment. Liu Jiayi held a bottle of poison with a bad expression: "Bai Liu, are you sure you have disciplined this guy?"
"He doesn't trust me very much." Bai Liu shrugged. He took a step forward nonchalantly, and shot away at Tang Erda fearlessly. He held Tang Erda's other fist, which was pressed tightly against his side, raised it up and shook it, then smiled at Tang Erda, "It doesn't matter. I trust your ability, that's all."
Bai Liu's movements were like a patient owner teaching a new and cautious dog to shake hands.
Tang Erda, who was a little at a loss when drawing his gun just now, slowly put down his gun and looked at Bai Liu for a while. His eyes were still alert, but he still tentatively shook Bai Liu's hand back.
It was like a big wolfhound that had just been tamed, with its fangs retracted and its tail and ears drooping.
The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened a lot.
Although not very smart, it is indeed easy to deceive, which can be considered an advantage.
