The crowd dismantled a small tent and set it up in the middle of the flower field. Bai Liu climbed out of the pit with difficulty and placed his clenched hand in the center of the cloth.
In order to avoid being polluted, everyone kept a certain distance from Bai Liu, but they were determined not to leave. They quietly followed Bai Liu's muddy heels like a tide, following him and pushing him forward.
Bai Liu continued to dig out pieces of body parts from underground.
The left hand, left foot, calf, half of the ribs, and the entire neck from the first to the third cervical vertebrae were dug out from the soil deeper and deeper by Bai Liu, and then placed on the cloth without any expression, and re-pieced together according to the laws of the human body structure.
When only the head and heart were left of the entire body, blood vessels reshaped and grew from the coagulated tissue, torn nerves connected along the smooth fascia breakpoints, and the hollow chest without a heart began to rise and fall faintly as if it began to breathe.
Without any sight of warm blood flowing, the sculpture-like body was reassembled in a strange way and began to move before Bai Liu's eyes.
Bai Liu was just quiet, not saying a word. He was digging and moving, trying to put his body together. The mental strain and pressure of the work almost made him fall down several times, but no one came forward to help him up - of course he didn't need to. Most of the time he just lay in the mud, took a few deep breaths, and then stood up staggeringly.
No emotion could be seen on Bai Liu's face, but Liu Jiayi didn't know why, but she felt that although this man looked pitiful because he was digging so hard, he was actually very happy.
——It’s the kind of joy that comes from meeting someone very important to you after a long separation.
"Mr. Bai, come up! There is no more land for you to dig!" The refugees shouted on the shore with their hands raised like a trumpet.
Liu Jiayi glanced at the statue that Bai Liu had put together from a distance. Although she couldn't see it clearly, it looked like it did not have a head. This made her frown: "Why is there a missing head? Did I forget a number?"
Bai Liu wrapped the statue with cloth and tried to carry it, but failed twice. Finally, he asked a refugee to bring him a cart, and he managed to push the statue out of the flower field.
As soon as he walked out, he heard Liu Jiayi questioning him. Bai Liu waved his hand, leaned on the cart with his hands on his waist and took a breath, then replied to Liu Jiayi: "It's not because you forgot. The head should not be buried in the flower field."
Liu Jiayi kept a certain distance from Bai Liu. She looked at Bai Liu in confusion: "Then, where will the head be buried?"
"This is a game." Bai Liu looked at the Rose Factory where the sound of gunfire continued and smiled. "The best and most beautiful reward can only be obtained after killing the biggest boss."
Liu Jiayi reacted suddenly, and she said to herself in disbelief: "The monster won't be hiding in the inner world..."
"Well, it should be inside the huge body of that monster factory director." Bai Liu said.
He tilted his head back slightly, his eyes half closed, and the sound of his breathing after working was very clear: "This factory director regarded Tawil as a symbol of desire. He blamed Tawil for his crazy killings and thought that it was the devil who controlled his consciousness and made him commit such crimes. He was a typical murderer with excessive self-awareness and moral attributes."
"After killing someone, this type of serial killer will usually leave behind what he considers to be the most valuable souvenirs, such as his adoptive parents' inheritance and his wife's rose greenhouse." Bai Liu turned his head and looked at Liu Jiayi, who was shocked. "For example, he thought the most beautiful parts of Tawil were his head and heart."
"Then what are you going to do?" Liu Jiayi's expression became more serious. "That monster is an S-level monster. If it wants to escape, it can just take advantage of its weakness. But you have to kill it! This is too difficult! To kill an S-level monster, the King's Guild needs the cooperation of at least twenty reserve team members."
"I really can't do it." Bai Liu pushed the cart to Liu Jiayi. "But Captain Tang should be able to do it in the event of an outbreak. I'll go find Captain Tang and ask him to help me. You guys keep an eye on it for me - be careful not to let the monsters take it away."
Bai Liu turned around, curled his eyes and smiled, waved his hand and ran towards the factory: "If I lose it, I will cry bitterly."
"Hey! Wait!" Liu Jiayi tried in a panic to pick up the cart, but at the last moment she remembered that it was better not to get close to the cart easily, as she would be contaminated.
In the end, Liu Jiayi had no choice but to use the flower picker's long pliers to clamp the handle of the cart and push it forward.
Looking at Bai Liu's back, who had already run far away, Liu Jiayi was a little upset: "I asked you to hand over some things to me, but I didn't ask you to dump all the rotten stalls on me!"
"You should discuss what you want to do with me first..." Liu Jiayi pouted unhappily and muttered softly, "Captain Tang, Captain Tang, do you think you have to call me your captain so affectionately?"
"I even took a bullet from that Captain Tang for you..."
Liu Jiayi became more and more frustrated as she spoke. One side of her face puffed up with anger. She stomped her foot and said, "You don't hold a grudge!"
On the other side, the ruthless Bai Liu, before he even ran to the factory gate, raised one hand to his mouth to make a megaphone, and waved the other hand high in the air, calling out in great joy: "Captain Tang, I'm here to ask for your help!"
Tang Erda, who was guarding the factory gate with full concentration, was almost scared out of his wits by Bai Liu's shout. His gun was almost shot away. He turned around and saw that it was Bai Liu, who was jogging towards him with a smile on his face that could make anyone who saw it shudder. As he ran, he shouted slowly in a dragging voice:
"—Captain Tang—are you—finished—your—work?"
Tang Er was so shocked that he didn't react at all. He thought that some Bai Liu was trying to scare him, and he almost shot Bai Liu when he turned around.
But fortunately he controlled it in time, otherwise this article would have ended here.
Tang Er collected his magazine with lingering fear - half because he was shocked that he almost shot Bai Liu to death, and half because he was frightened by Bai Liu's overly enthusiastic look.
He straightened his face, quickly distanced himself from Bai Liu who was approaching, and said coldly, "What did you call me for?"
"I need your help with something." Bai Liu smiled and seemed to be in a good mood for some reason.
Tang Er quickly raised his hand and killed a monster that approached Bai Liu from behind. The cold expression on his face broke, and he couldn't help but criticize Bai Liu: "Why don't you keep an eye on the monsters around you - what do you need my help with?"
Bai Liu briefly explained the whole process. After hearing the explanation, Tang Er frowned uncomfortably - he had looked into Bai Liu's mirror and knew that this god-level NPC was the most important person to Bai Liu. Now he had to look for the other party's head that had been cut off and hidden in the monster's body. This did not sound like a very pleasant thing at all.
But Bai Liu seemed to be very happy, which made Tang Er feel inexplicably complicated, and even a little sympathetic - was Bai Liu using a smile to cover up her sadness...
He is so strong.
"I can go." Tang Erda's tone was much more relaxed, "But what about the monsters in the factory?"
If Tang Er hadn't been here guarding the factory gate, the monsters in the factory would have run out and caused harm everywhere. And if he and Bai Liu had entered the inner world, there would be no one guarding this place.
"Don't worry about that." Bai Liusi didn't consider Liu Jiayi's feelings at all. He started to sell his teammates without thinking, "The monster ran away. The little witch and Qi Yifang will take care of it."
Tang Erda pondered for a moment - Liu Jiayi and Qi Yifang were indeed very powerful, and both had group attack skills. Moreover, in this timeline, they should have been the reserve members of the King's Guild and had been trained by Hongtao.
Although there are a lot of these monsters, their levels are not high. If we run away and disperse, the pressure on them should not be too great...
Tang Erda put away his gun and looked sideways at Bai Liu: "How do I enter the inner world you mentioned?"
Bai Liu took out a bloody eyeball - he had torn it off the monster's face. At this moment, the smile on his face began to become dangerous, with a sense of intimidation that made Tang Er tighten his back - Bai Liu, who smiled like this, really looked too much like Bai Liu...
There is a strong aggression that makes people feel uneasy.
Bai Liu opened his eyelids, raised his eyeball and placed it in front of his right eye: "Just look at this eyeball with your right eye."
Tang Erda was more than ten centimeters taller than Bai Liu, so he had to lean forward and squat slightly to face the eyeball with his right eye.
When the two people's eyes were at the same level as the right eye, the eyeball began to blink, and it opened its eyelids covered with rose cracks. At the same time, the rose in Bai Liu's right eye opened to the last petal.
The world in their eyes kept turning like a kaleidoscope, with roses repeatedly reflected on the broken greenhouse glass, turning into millions of roses of gradient colors surrounding the eyeballs, the greenhouse, and all the land they saw.
The halo from deep red to light pink formed and dispersed, and the flower buds grew from the eyeballs, from the bottom of the skull, and from the people's unstoppable silver-blue desires. Then the leaves withered and turned into a graceful and beautiful, elegant stem rose, entwining the heart and absorbing the nutrients provided by the evil god to grow vigorously.
After a knee-weakening dizziness, Tang Er entered this decayed inner world.
A monster as big as a hill stood in front of them, its body as huge as if it had swallowed a rose greenhouse, its skin was surging, like big bubbles of sticky liquid rolling out, roses were faintly growing inside, and all the people swallowed by it became food.
And now it was staring at Bai Liu, the person who had taken away its right eye, with its thin, yellowed, ugly, pus-filled left eye.
[System warning: The monster (first generation factory manager) has locked the player Bai Liu with hatred! Player Bai Liu has no ability to fight against this monster, please escape from this scene quickly! ]
If it was before, Bai Liu would have turned around and ran without hesitation, but now, Bai Liu quickly ran to a safe area behind Tang Erda and hid, waving at him: "Captain Tang, please deal with this monster first."
Tang Erda: "..."
Tang Erda once again regretted getting on the pirate ship. He quickly raised his gun, looked sharp, and fired a shot, accurately and neatly blowing out the left eye of the monster that was trying to approach the closet where Bai Liu was hiding.
The big monster swung its tentacles and screamed wildly. The ground was shaking due to its struggles. Dust from the wall fell down. Some small spider-like monsters seemed to be awakened by the movement. They kept crawling out from all directions of the house, screaming and approaching Tang Er.
But these various monsters that could make Bai Liu and the member of the King's Guild run around the house could hardly stand a chance against Tang Erda.
His movements were extremely quick and decisive. He killed one monster at a time with one shot. Except for the brief time when changing the magazine allowed the monsters to move closer, he steadily suppressed such a large group of monsters within three meters of Bai Liu's hiding place. The area where Tang Erda's bullets swept was like an invisible safety line, protecting Bai Liu completely.
After the first round of cleaning was over, Tang Er scanned the room coldly, making sure there were no small monsters that could kill Bai Liu, who was now fragile. He put away his gun and said coldly without looking back, "Come out."
"The small monsters have been cleared out. The big monsters are invisible, and there is no point in locking the hatred value on you."
Bai Liu moved out from behind a closet, dusted himself off, and glanced around the room. Most of the bodies of monsters that had been killed by a single gunshot were neatly stacked three meters away from where he was hiding. Even their postures before death were almost the same.
Bai Liu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and look at Tang Erda, who was standing calmly in front of him, without even a speck of dust on his sleeves.
——This guy is really strong.
His previous feeling was correct, Tang Erda's panel value should be far beyond S.
Tang Erda threw a semicircular sniper scope to Bai Liu, tilted his head slightly and looked back at Bai Liu: "Take this prop. I usually don't use a scope when I use a gun in the game, but this scope has a slow motion function. You can use it to see clearly what's inside the monster's body and the trajectory of my bullets."
"There are too many people's heads in this monster's body. I'm not sure whose head you want, so you might hit it when you fight it. If you see me about to hit the head of the person you want, remind me and I will move away."
"Will it affect you if I interfere with the command?" Bai Liu asked politely. He raised his eyes and glanced at the big monster. "This is an S-level monster."
Tang Erda turned around and glanced at Bai Liu calmly: "Not really. In the arena, the interference caused by the tactician's command is much greater than this."
"Aren't you going to play in the league?" Tang Er raised his head and looked at the big monster. He pulled one leg back and made a jumping gesture. Countless points of light gathered on the silver revolver in his hand. "Now let's start to understand what a league player is."
[System prompt: Should the player Tang Erda equip "Monster Book Status: Withered Rose Hunter"?]
【Sure】
Tang Erda's hair floated and blew in the light, and the pupils in his dark blue eyes suddenly shrank vertically, turning into the eyes of a wolf.
The silver revolver in his left hand was surrounded by dazzling spots of light, and the gun body stretched to about one meter. A kind of vine-like equipment belt quickly grew and spread from Tang Erda's chest, winding all the way to the end of the gun. A huge suspended magazine decorated with roses floated behind the body of the revolver, and the sound of bullets being loaded kept coming out.
"Pay attention to the trajectory of my bullets." Tang Er glanced at Bai Liu sideways, "I wasn't paying attention, so if you hit someone, it won't be counted as mine."
The next second, Tang Erda seemed to just press down slightly with the leg that was retreating, and fired a shot at the ground with the strange revolver that was too long. The whole person was suspended backwards by the recoil of the bullet and disappeared in front of Bai Liu. Only a little afterimage was left, and a strong wind with a smell of gunpowder that blew Bai Liu's hair.
Bai Liu soon understood why Tang Erda gave him a scope with a slow-motion function.
Because Tang Erda moved so fast, Bai Liu couldn't even see Tang Erda's specific appearance. He could only see countless ammunition and wind trails caused by people moving quickly crisscrossing in front of him. Then the monster suddenly twisted and struggled violently, letting out a series of heart-wrenching screams, as if it was being tortured.
Bai Liu put on the scope.
Under the red sight, the bullets rolled forward in a strange trajectory, interweaving in front of him into a space that seemed to be filled with infrared alarm devices.
A tentacle swung towards Bai Liu, but before it touched Bai Liu, it was pierced by a bullet that came from nowhere, and turned into a burnt tentacle that bounced weakly on the ground.
There are countless heads inside the monster's body, just like a claw machine filled with many dolls of similar size and appearance, and the claw machine is still jumping, which makes it more difficult to distinguish the exact location of a certain head inside.
Bai Liu quickly scanned the monster's body twice, and soon he determined Tavel's specific location. At the same time, he saw a bright red shooting line that seemed to be aimed at Tavel.
"We're almost there, Captain Tang." Bai Liu said very quickly.
Almost at the moment he finished speaking, Bai Liu saw the firing line shift its position and explode a head next to Tavel.
Bai Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but his attention was too focused. Coupled with the influence of the aiming mirror's field of view, many things in the image, except for the bones and ballistics, had a translucent texture, and he couldn't locate the specific position of a certain object.
So Bai Liu didn't notice that the monster had already climbed to the top of his head, opened its "petals" towards him, and was ready to swallow him.
The next second, Tang Erda, with his head lowered, appeared in front of Bai Liu out of thin air. He held a gun more than one meter long in his left hand with his backhanded hand. With his back to the monster, he aimed the gun at the monster's head. With his other hand, he grabbed Bai Liu's shoulder and turned him over, protecting Bai Liu in front of him. At the same time, the rose magazine surrounding the gun kept making crisp "click, click, click" sounds.
The muzzle of the gun aimed at the monster's head flashed red.
“Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—bang!!”
The huge monster fell backwards slowly under the continuous gunfire, and the sky was filled with dust.
[System prompt: Congratulations to player Tang Er for killing an S-level monster——(First-generation Factory Manager)! ]
A clean and concentrated firepower attack, which can be called an instant kill.
After the monster fell to the ground, Tang Erda immediately stepped back and distanced himself from Bai Liu. He turned his head away uncomfortably and clenched his fists, as if he was dissatisfied with his unconscious act of protecting Bai Liu. Then he seemed to remember something, raised his head and reprimanded Bai Liu in a stern tone: "Didn't I tell you to pay attention to the monsters around you?"
"How can you play in the league if you only focus on the goal?"
