Liu Jiayi was out of breath as she looked at the dark blue hand. She coughed twice and was about to drown. Tang Erda immediately brought her up to the surface.

Spade let go of his hands and floated in the water. He stared at the bottom of the lake motionlessly, then immediately floated up. In the process of floating up, he met Nishen who was diving, and they floated to the surface together.

lakeside.

Liu Jiayi coughed with a pale face. She stared at the lake, as if expecting a white willow to jump out of it.

Tang Erda patted Liu Jiayi on the back, his face almost blank, he seemed to have no idea what had just happened.

——Bai Liu, the omnipotent Bai Liu, became 100% transformed right in front of them, and then died?

This almost sounds like a joke.

If the system prompt for all players had not been there, Tang Erda would have almost thought that this was another trick of Bai Liu.

Heitao climbed out of the water, followed by Bai Yi and his friends who were full of questions: "What happened? We just got into the lake and we received a notice of Bai Liu's death?"

"Bai Liu is not dead." Hei Tao said without even turning her head, water dripping from the ends of her hair, her tone cold and calm.

Bai Yi was getting more and more confused. He clicked on his system panel, checked the bright red system notification two or three times, and muttered, "...I didn't see it wrong, it was a death exit..."

Hei Tao turned around and stared at Bai Yi without saying a word. Bai Yi's voice gradually became weaker and weaker, and he finally shut his mouth. He hid behind Bai Jiamu trembling a little, and whispered softly: "Bai Jiamu, I feel that Hei Tao has murderous intentions towards me..."

Nishen looked at Heitao: "Why do you say Bai Liu is not dead?"

Spade remained silent and did not answer.

Nishen understood instantly: "Is it your intuition that tells you this again?"

Nishen quickly accepted Heitao's intuitive judgment and calmly analyzed: "If Bai Liu is not dead, then he cannot quit the game. He must be somewhere in this game. Now we have to find him from this game."

"But this game has many time loops, and there are external and internal worlds." Bo Jiamu frowned, "How do I find my way around such a large game map?"

Nishen smiled and said, "I have a way to find Bai Liu."

Bai Yi muttered quietly: "But, Nishen, this Bai Liu has nothing to do with us, why should we help find her?"

Liu Jiayi supported herself on her knees and helped Tang Erda stand up. She looked up and stared at Nishen: "If you help find Bai Liu, I can participate in all your training matches for free and ensure your safety."

Nishen turned around and looked at Liu Jiayi, and suddenly realized: "You are the little witch with healing skills."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath and nodded.

Nishen laughed: "It's a pretty significant bargaining chip. I'm really tempted."

"But little witch, didn't your tactician teach you that when negotiating with a smart person, no matter how panicked you are, you should not take out all your bottom line chips at the beginning?"

Nishen smiled gently and touched Liu Jiayi's head, saying softly: "--He will shamelessly take advantage of your chips to get more."

"Bai Liu is very important to you, right?" Nishen smiled and casually threw out a bomb, "How about I help you find Bai Liu, and you join my team?"

Liu Jiayi's pupils shrank. Tang Er stepped forward and knocked away Nishen's hand that was touching Liu Jiayi, and said coldly: "Dream on!"

Nishen smiled and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm: "Just kidding, a big team like us, the Killer Sequence, generally don't do things like taking advantage of others' misfortunes to rob them."

But almost every member of Bai Liu's team was snatched from others.

This person is alluding to Bai Liu.

Tang Erthro had a gun in his hand, and his expression showed a fierceness: "That has nothing to do with you."

Nishen smiled with his eyebrows and eyebrows wide open, and glanced at Liu Jiayi who was bowing her head, then turned to Tang Erslapping her face: "But I think, as a tactician, I treat you like objects to be snatched away, and then place you so casually-"

"It's a little bit disrespectful of your feelings."

Nishen smiled: "——It's as if he is relying on you to follow him forever, clamping your emotions and making you fearfully accept all the consequences of his willfulness and recklessness, and you are unable to get rid of it."

"How should I put it? It's a more advanced way for a tactician to control his teammates than absolute control. You all trust Bai Liu from the bottom of your hearts."

Nishen smiled: "——But the pain brought by this trust is also doubled, because you have deep feelings for him."

"But Bai Liu clearly knows that you will suffer for him. He can also design a game path that will not make you suffer, such as letting you quit the game first."

"Why did Bai Liu choose to torture herself and let you watch her suffer?"

"The evil spirit loves to observe the suffering of others."

Nishen's tone was so light that it was like a whisper: "--Don't you think that from the beginning, Bai Liu was showing your pain to the evil god to prove his true nature, and then let the evil god wholeheartedly choose him as his successor so that he can enter the realm of God--"

"——Your suffering is merely his contribution to the evil god——"

Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda drew their weapons almost at the same time, and clamped Nishen from both sides at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Liu Jiayi jumped onto Nishen's shoulders, clamped her legs around Nishen's neck, and pointed the smoking poison spray bottle at his Adam's apple.

Tang Erda intercepted Ni Shen's hands with one hand and aimed his gun at Ni Shen's temple.

Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi picked up their weapons almost instantly, their expressions turned cold, and aimed at Tang Erda and Liu Jiayi.

"Let go of our tactician."

The atmosphere was explosive.

Nishen interrupted with a nonchalant and laughing voice: "Relax, I was just joking."

"Bo Jiamu, Bo Yi, put down your weapons, they won't kill me."

Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally put down their weapons.

Nishen turned his head to look at Tang Erda who was pointing a gun at his temple. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly laughed: "I have investigated you, Tang Erda, the former third captain of the Heretic Administration, right?"

"In real life, I am a good citizen who has never done anything bad to any creature. I pay taxes on time, work overtime every day, and I have never killed any innocent people in the game." Nishen smiled openly, "Are you sure you can kill a normal person like me who does not meet your killing standards at all?"

Tang Erda clenched his teeth and the finger holding the trigger trembled slightly.

--cannot.

His principles do not allow him to kill normal people.

Liu Jiayi's eyes were red, her fingers were stuck on the poison spray gun, and her expression was full of malice that could not be concealed: "--I can't kill Tang Er, but I can. Help us find Bai Liu, or I will kill you!"

"The cause and effect is wrong, little sister." Nishen was unmoved and pinched the muzzle of Liu Jiayi's spray gun with two fingers, looking back at him with a smile, "--You want me to help you find Bai Liu, so you have no way to kill me."

Nishen looked at Liu Jiayi tenderly: "Are you sure you want to kill me now?"

Liu Jiayi clenched the spray bottle tightly, then slowly put it down.

Bai Liu's obvious weakness was in the hands of the opponent, and she really lost the initiative.

Bai Yi stared in amazement as Nishen resolved a crisis with just a few words.

Bai Jiamu turned the scalpel as if he was used to it.

The tactical style of the Nishen gang has always been like this. They have poor control and have neither good nor bad relationships with every team member. Even if they come into conflict with the enemy, they will try not to use force to resolve the problem.

After all, Nishen is a tactician who can make the opponent surrender directly without drawing their weapons in the league arena. The title of low-damage tactician is not for nothing.

Liu Jiayi jumped off Nishen's shoulder, and Tang Erda retracted his gun.

"Even if Bai Liu is using your pain as a sacrifice, you have to find him, right?" Nishen asked softly.

Liu Jiayi turned her back to Nishen, her shoulders and voice tensed: "——Yes."

She clenched her fists and sneered: "We, the heartless members who were snatched away by him like cargo, can feel the pain because of Bai Liu's self-destruction——"

"——How miserable Bai Liu must be."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath:

"If Bai Liu is really offering pain to the evil god, then the most important offering is his own pain. Our pain is just a bonus, a secondary offering."

Liu Jiayi turned around and looked at Nishen calmly: "Don't expect to shake the relationship between me and Bai Liu with this kind of nonsense."

"Bai Liu is the person I chose myself. I know him better than you do. When I followed this guy, I was ready to be used to death by him."

"Bai Liu is my tactician." Tang Er said solemnly, "As long as he wants to win the game, the main attacker must bear all the pain with all his strength."

"As his team member, I will not be easily shaken by this little pain."

"...Are you so determined?" Nishen thought for a moment, then smiled. "That's beyond my expectation. Well, I will help you find Bai Liu for free."

Liu Jiayi looked at him warily: "For free?"

Nishen turned his head and looked in distress at Spades, who was squatting by the lake, staring at the lake and poking it with a whip from time to time.

Hei Tao seemed to think that Bai Liu had sunk to the bottom of the lake and would soon come out of it, so he squatted beside her with his knees hugged, watching over her.

Nishen sighed helplessly: "It's not just you who have been used by Bai Liu and suffered, but also my ace team members."

"Your tactician Bai Liu is really a tough guy. He stole the soul of our team's main attacker in just one game."

Nishen smiled and turned to look at Tang Erda and Liu Jiayi: "As a return gift, I wanted to let his team members' souls be seduced by me. It seems that my skills are not good enough."

Liu Jiayi and Tang Erda didn't know why, but they felt a chill down their spines when they heard Nishen's laughter.

——For some reason, this tactician called Nishen makes you want to run away when he laughs.

"How did you find Bai Liu?" Liu Jiayi asked directly.

Nishen smiled and said, "Use props."

"What props?" Tang Erda asked.

Nishen scratched his face, his eyes wandering: "Well, I have to thank our team's main attacker. He gave Bai Liu a very important connection item in our team. The judgment of this item is very strong. As long as the player is still there, it will automatically pop up from the item panel when the bell rings."

"If Bai Liu is still in this game, Bell Dang can find him."

Hearing this, Spade, who was squatting by the lake, slowly straightened up, pulled the bell out of the system without saying a word, and shook it violently. However, the bell disintegrated after only two rings.

Spade slowly sighed, "I messed it up."

Nishen took a deep breath and covered his face: "...Yes, you have worked with this bell before. The reason why you can hold on until now is because of the good quality of this bell."

"Let me do it."

Nishen helplessly took out his own bells, grasped the bell handles, and shook them gently twice. At once, several bells rang at the same time.

The bells of Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi were ringing, but Nishen immediately looked towards the other side of the lake: "There are no one from us on the other side, but the bells are ringing."

Hei Tao disappeared almost the moment the bell rang on the other side of the river, followed by Tang Erda and Liu Jiayi.

Nishen looked at Bai Jiamu and Bai Yi beside him and said, "Let's go too."

On the other side of the lake, next to the wooden sculpture of the evil god.

The corpses that had just been attracted by the white willows in the lake have now returned one after another, dancing wildly around the two wooden sculptures of evil gods, singing the evil god's songs with strange accents in their rotten throats.

"…The mortal bodies have decayed, and the believers have carved new vessels to contain the wandering souls…"

The white willow on the new wood carving of the god became more and more lifelike. Only the head and shoulders were still connected to the original wood, and the rest of the body had been completely carved. Only the hair on the head was left uncarved.

The corpses who carved the wood carvings moved the old evil god wood carving to the side of the new wood carving that looked like Bai Liu, and compared the carvings carefully. They told Bai Liu that her originally short hair was carved into a long ponytail that was loosely tied up and hung down to the waist, just like the old evil god wood carving.

It seems that because of this change in the new evil god wood sculpture, the smile on the face of the old evil god wood sculpture became more and more satisfied.

The corpses circled the wooden sculpture of the evil god, waving their arms and legs, and the chanting became louder and louder:

"The evil god boasts that there will be people wandering in his shadow.

The person in the shadow is fourteen years old.

Then the evil god gave this man a spine, a heart, and a divine emblem.

Boasting that this person will be its only believer and will become the next new god

The person in the film is 24 years old.

Then the evil god fell, and the souls of his followers wandered away.

Spine, heart, spirit are all shattered,

The evil gods are more numerous.

…

God died but he survived, and because of evil he has eternal life. "

As the chanting continued, the new wooden sculpture was gradually completed. A corpse staggered and lifted a large stone and began to hit the old wooden sculpture of the evil god. The old wooden sculpture of the evil god, which had been patched together, was easily broken apart.

The corpses danced crazily, and a pure white bone whip and an inverted cross pendant slowly appeared in front of the wooden sculpture of the old evil god.

They trembled and lifted themselves up, and the chanting grew louder again:

"...The evil god gifted this man with a spine, a heart, and a divine emblem..."

"Using the spine of the old god and the blood of the new god, this evil faith comes from the depths of eternity, and even death cannot destroy it—"

"——Create a new evil god to rule the universe."

The corpses trembled and raised a sharp stick, aiming it at the heart of the wooden sculpture of the old evil god and stabbing it hard.

A red liquid similar to sticky blood flowed out from the heart of the wood sculpture.

The corpses held up white bone whips and received the red liquid with reverence and awe. The bone whips were strangely dyed pure black from the handle little by little, reflecting no light at all.

As the staining progressed, the bone spurs on the surface opened up one by one, becoming extremely sharp.

Tied to a stake, Alex grinned foolishly—that was the red paint.

——These red paints are produced from the evil god wood carvings.

As long as you pierce the heart of the wooden sculpture with a thorn, a magical red paint will continuously flow out of it, which has magical powers and will always help people realize their desires.

At first Alex thought it was just some strange plant juice produced by the wood used to carve the evil god.

Later, he realized that it had nothing to do with the wood, but was the heart and blood of the wood sculpture.

Bright red liquid dripped onto the white bone whip drop by drop. The bone whip's dyeing process was already halfway done, and the corpse carefully put the inverted cross pendant on the new wood carving.

Alex raised his head in relief, closed his eyes, and smiled vaguely: "…It's finally over."

A series of ringing sounds suddenly came from the new wood carving that was shaped like a white willow. The carefully carved surface of the new wood carving began to crack into brittle cracks like eggshells. These cracks grew larger with the ringing of the bells, as if the creature inside was about to break through the wood carving and drill out at any time.

The corpses panicked and stopped chanting and performing rituals:

"…The bone whip has not yet been dyed…"

"…The New Evil God shouldn't enter the container now!"

Alex was stunned. He stared at the wood sculpture.

The half-closed eyes of the new wooden sculpture blinked slightly, and a strong wind blew, blowing away the long-accumulated smoke in the jungle.

The surface of the wooden shell was completely shattered, and the long, loose and floating ponytail came out of the wooden shell, swaying in the wind. The inverted cross pendant was blown into the air by the wind, sparkling in this dark rain forest.

Sawdust fluttered down, and Bai Liu slowly opened her pure black eyes. Her ponytail was tied loosely behind her head, casually falling on one shoulder and hanging down to her waist.

There was no emotion on his face, just a calmness without any wind or cloud. His eyes seemed to contain all the desires, sorrows and joys of human beings, and conveyed the eternal stars and laws of the universe.

The corpses in the rainforest lay trembling on the ground. The miasma that had been covering the rainforest dissipated, and a faint light fell from the illusory sky, falling on the sacrifices who were tied to the wooden stakes and witnessed all of this.

Alex stared blankly at the new god born before him, and almost stopped breathing.

——This is the new god that the old evil god has been waiting for so long.

[System Awareness: Player Bai Liu's body has been replaced, and the overall panel value has risen sharply... Calculating...]

[…Climb to 10,000…Unlock the Bronze Hypocrite achievement…Unlock the low-level Faith value system…]

[…Climbed to 30,000…Unlocked the Silver Pseudo-God achievement…Unlocked the Intermediate Faith Value system…]

[The overall panel value continues to rise, the system is calculating...]

[…Received the system’s crown-level gift pack (a gift from the evil god)…]

[…A bone whip of unknown properties, a cross pendant that can communicate with the evil god…]

[…gained a new hidden identity (the heir of the evil god). Based on this identity, the evil god gave the player Bai Liu a world line save point - congratulations to the player Bai Liu for obtaining the game design rights for the world line of "Secret Border". ]

[From this moment on, the player Bai Liu is the supreme god of the world line of "Jungle Edge". You can rewrite all the stories designed in this world, save and retrieve at any time, and rewrite at any time. As long as you find it interesting, this is the right bestowed by God to the heir. ]

[…Based on the identity of (the heir of the evil god), the player Bai Liu unlocks the (the heir of the evil god's faith value) collection system by leaps and bounds.]

[Player Bai Liu, becoming an evil god requires not only strength, but also faith. ]

[If you want to kill the evil god and become the new god, it is not only about being physically strong, but also about gaining the faith of mankind. When your faith value exceeds that of the current evil god, you will have the right to kill him——]

[How can you make people believe in you? ]

[Friendly advice from the evil god - only when humans are in enough pain will they believe in God. As long as enough pain is created, humans will sell their souls and degenerate into believers of the evil god in despair, praying to the evil god for wishes and help.]

[In other words, when a human becomes a player of the evil god's game, the evil god gains his soul and faith.]

[For you, Bai Liu, when you possess a person's soul coin, you possess his faith. When the quantity and quality of your soul coin are equal to mine, you will see me.]

【I believe this day will come soon. 】

[Looking forward to meeting you, Bai Liu (laughs)——Xie Shenliu]
