"Sheita." Bai Liu lay on his back on the ground. He looked at Tavel, who was holding him down with his head down, with a rare expression of being unable to react. His breathing was completely disordered, but his tone was still calm. "What are you doing? Let me go."
There was no emotion in Tavel's silver-blue eyes. He used the whip to circle Bai Liu's hands, pressed them with one hand, and looked at him intently with his eyes down:
"Bai Liu, there is a price to pay for making a wish to the evil god."
"You took my affection, companionship, heart and love from the beginning, and wanted me to stay with you forever." Tavel's long hair was winding on the ground, mixing with Bai Liu's hair. He looked directly at Bai Liu, "In return, you have to give me the same thing."
The shadow of Bai Liu was fully reflected in Tavel's pupils:
"You are my only believer."
"Your feelings, heart, love, pain and faith can only be sacrificed to me. You are not allowed to offer them to any other evil god."
The lake water, completely dyed red by the fuel, poured toward Tavel's back with more joy. An inverted cross vaguely appeared in his silver-blue eyes, and the white willow was reflected in the inverted cross, as if it was imprisoned in Tavel's eyes by the inverted cross.
[System warning: The desires of the player Spade's monster book identity "The Fallen Old Evil God" are completely out of control, and the mental value is jumping at a high frequency...]
Tavel's hand reached into the hem of Bai Liu's loose shirt, and his cold fingertips slid down from the waist all the way to the ground, finally stretching out his curled fingers and stopping at the position of his heart.
"…Your heart is beating so fast, is it because you are afraid of me now?"
Bai Liu covered his eyes with his bound hands, and said with a slight gasp: "No."
"I can feel that you are afraid." Tavel's voice suddenly lowered, and Bai Liu could feel that he was very close to him. "An evil god who is about to turn into a complete monster is unwilling to let you go. It's scary, isn't it?"
"But even so—" Tavel grabbed Bai Liu's wrist and suddenly pulled away Bai Liu's arm that was covering his eyes. With a calm expression, he forcibly fixed Bai Liu and made Bai Liu look directly at him, "I will not allow you to escape from me."
"The moment you looked me in the face, you lost the right to be afraid of me."
Tavel's face and flying silver-blue curls were reflected in slow motion in Bai Liu's pure black eyes.
The black color on the whip covered with bone spurs paused for a moment, then exploded upwards.
Bai Liu whipped out the whip and instantly freed himself from the restraints. The whip wrapped around Tavel's arm and swung to the side, throwing Tavel off his body.
Tavel looked at Bai Liu who escaped from under him, his eyes empty, and the lake water behind him poured into his back like boiling water.
He looked up at Bai Liu who was standing at the other end:
"——You have abandoned my faith in me, haven't you?"
"I no longer have faith in you, Xieta." Bai Liu held the whip hanging by his side, with only a spot of pure white on it, and his tone was very calm.
"So what is the relationship between us?" Tavel asked Bai Liu.
Bai Liu looked at Tavel quietly, the red paint in the lake reflected in his pure black eyes, refracting a faint red color, and the only white spot left on the whip was swallowed up, leaving only an edge.
"As for the other relationships between us, since you can't exist by my side as an individual, and even your memories and soul can't be preserved, don't you think it's unfair to me to discuss any relationship between us now?"
"So I thought about it and felt that there was really no need to discuss it."
Bai Liu frowned, tilted his head and smiled: "So now, there is no relationship between us."
After saying this, Bai Liu swung the whip in his hand.
The whip full of bone spurs rushed directly towards Tavel's face.
"Bang--!"
Bai Liu used his gun to knock away Tavel's black whip. He half-knelt on the ground, his chest heaving violently, his face covered with scars, his white shirt completely stained red with blood, and even his voice was hoarse: "Spades, stop."
Tavel lowered his head in a trance. In his own hand he saw the black whip full of bone spurs with blood dripping from it, and in Bai Liu's hand was a silver revolver.
...and what he just saw in Bai Liu's hand was a whip full of bone spurs.
Everything around was in chaos. The lake had disappeared, and where the lake had been was left only a huge pit. The swampy mud at the bottom of the lake was exposed, covered with bones and an old wooden sculpture of an evil god sticking out at an angle, the head of which was smiling at Tavier.
In the vague and chaotic space, Tawil heard the old woodcarving say to him with a sad tone and a smile:
[Tawil, is the evil god who falls in love with someone still an evil god? 】
[The old evil god who was once indestructible is now full of desire for someone, full of emotions, full of weaknesses, and full of fantasies. ]
[Look, your human desires are strong enough to hear my oracle, former evil god.]
[In your subconscious illusion, are you so afraid that Bai Liu will scare you and abandon you? ]
[Tawil, you are nothing more than a mortal now.]
[You are only a step away from selling your soul due to extreme emotions, desires, and delusions, and from being degraded from a human to a monster.]
Tavel looked at Bai Liu in front of him.
Bai Liu looked up at him straight, then suddenly rushed over with a gun in hand, fired several shots at his head, and smiled strangely: "--As long as I sacrifice you, the old evil god, I can completely become the successor of the new evil god."
Tawil was knocked down into the mud by the recoil of the gun. Suddenly, a rainstorm fell from the sky. The rain was so heavy that it instantly filled up the lake. Vines quickly grew in the mud underground and entangled Tawil.
The head of the old wooden sculpture of the evil god rolled to the side of Tawil, who was entangled at the bottom of the lake, with the same smile on his face:
[What's wrong? You didn't resist Bai Liu's attack at all. This is just an illusion. You won't fight back? ]
[You knew that this Bai Liu was most likely fake, but you didn't dare to resist his attack on you. Is it because you were afraid that it might be true? ]
[Maybe if Bai Liu really hates you, dislikes you, and fears you, maybe he will really do this to you, right?]
[After all, the connection between the two of you is so tenuous, it was just a chance encounter ten years ago.]
The lake shrank inward, became narrower, deeper, and smaller in area, from a large lake to a pond the size of a weir. The water changed from turbid to clear, with small fish and shrimps swimming around.
There was a rope around Tawil's ankles, tying him to the bottom of the lake. The knot was tied very tightly, as if the person who tied it was afraid that he would be washed away by the water if he didn't tie it tightly enough.
Someone jumped into the water and picked up Tavel. It was Bai Liu with wet hair. He looked to be 24 years old, but the surrounding environment was obviously the welfare home where they stayed when they were 14 years old. Bai Liu was also wearing the clothes issued by the welfare home at that time.
"I'm here to feed you, Xieta." Bai Liu's face turned pale, and he suddenly smiled, "As long as you drink this, everything will be over."
"I will never again let my life become a mess and suffer for so long just because of a terrifying monster like you."
Tavel looked at what Bai Liu was holding - it was a bottle of poison.
Witch's poison.
When Bai Liu put the poison to Tavel's mouth and looked at him expectantly, Tavel paused for a moment and then opened his mouth.
After drinking it, Tawil was mercilessly thrown into the pond again. With his eyes half closed, he sank, sank, and sank until he touched the bottom of the pond.
The mud and sand flowed away rapidly, and the bottom of the pool suddenly changed inward, from a rough stone bottom to an extremely smooth ceramic. As Tawil's head was sinking, someone suddenly grabbed his hair and pulled him out of the water.
The pond in front of Tawil was transformed into a bathtub-shaped baptismal pool, and the environment changed from the orphanage pond to the church.
The faint moonlight shone through the church's stained glass windows onto the captured Tawil's face, creating a beautiful halo. The god worshipped on the baptismal font was originally Jesus on the cross, but now it was replaced by an inverted cross and a broken old wooden sculpture of an evil god.
The wood carving smiled at Tawil, whose hair was grabbed.
Tavier had just been pulled out of the baptismal font. Someone grabbed his head and forced him to tilt his head back to face the statue. A sharp, distorted female voice came from behind him: "You monster, what strange thing have you done again!"
"I will punish you severely before God!"
Tawil was pushed into the water again, and when he was pulled out, the statue of the god on the stage had changed again.
Bai Liu stood on the stage with a smile. He squatted on one knee, lowered his eyelids, and used his gloved hand to lift Tawil's hair from his forehead. He held Tawil's wet face and whispered, "It hurts, right?"
"I was at the back of the church, hiding behind the curtains and it was very painful when I saw this scene."
Bai Liu smiled very gently, and the moonlight through the window cast a colorful halo on his eyelashes:
"——But the pain you, an immortal monster, feel at this moment may not even be one tenth of the pain I feel for you."
A shrill female voice interrupted their conversation hysterically and pushed Tawil under the water again.
"——That weird kid Bai Liu is willing to hang out with you, so he's probably not a good person!"
Tawil was dragged out of the water again, and the sculpture on the altar was replaced. The director of the orphanage had been drained of blood, and his body was hung on the cross with a horrified face, kneeling on the ground, as if he was confessing to them.
This time, the person who pulled Tawil out of the baptismal font was Bai Liu.
Bai Liu gently wrapped her arms around Tavel's neck. Her hands began to slowly transform. Her nails became sharp and black, turning into two extremely sharp monkey claws. She then elegantly crossed her hands and grasped Tavel's throat.
thief's monkey's paw.
"You know, without you." Bai Liu's claws dug into Tavel's veins, and his tone was so soft that it seemed like a whisper, "I would just be an ordinary person who follows his desires wholeheartedly."
"What a blessing that would be."
The blood gushing out of Tawil's throat flowed into the baptismal pool in front of him, instantly dyeing everything red. Spiky blood ganoderma vines emerged from the bottom of the red baptismal pool, encircled Tawil's limbs and dragged him down.
Bai Liu stood aside with an indifferent expression, watching Tavel being dragged into the baptismal pool, blood dripping from the nails of both hands:
"Sheta, the faith you gave me is worthless and has only caused me endless pain from beginning to end."
"Even so, do you selfishly want me to keep believing in you?"
The vines tugged at Tavier's limbs, dragging him deeper and deeper into the bottomless depths. The blood around him turned redder and redder, as if some kind of red paint was constantly seeping into his body.
Tawil was captured from the lake by some strange-looking natives, who hung his limbs with vines and fixed them on an inverted cross to make a wooden sculpture. Then they walked up to him from the crowd, surrounded by white willows, while singing songs in a strange accent with joy.
Bai Liu held a sharp dagger in his hand. He smiled and walked step by step to Tavel who was tied to the inverted cross. He put the tip of the dagger against Tavel's heart and whispered softly:
"Sheta, from the time I met you until now, the only time I was free was during the ten years after you died and I completely forgot about you."
"I have no faith in you, no feelings for you, no thoughts of you. I am just an ordinary person in this world who occasionally worries about money and desires. What a vulgar happiness."
"You kept saying that you wanted me to be happy, but after I entered the game, you never let me go. You grabbed me tightly again and again, and watched over me during every game. You couldn't wait to mark me as your only believer, fearing that I would abandon you, forget you, and leave you."
"You kissed me, seduced me, and influenced me." Bai Liu opened her eyelids, her expression gentle, "You selfishly allowed your only believer to fall in love with you, to sacrifice his love and soul to you, and to quietly possess his ten-year-long pain as a sacrifice."
"To me, is there any fundamental difference between your vile possessiveness of me and this evil god now?"
Tavel lowered his head, breathing slightly, but did not deny anything Bai Liu said, and drops of water dripped from his long eyelashes.
Bai Liu smiled and stabbed the dagger into Tavel's heart. Bright red paint flowed out and dripped onto the almost completely black whip that Bai Liu held in his other hand.
Assassin's dagger.
The remaining white spot on the whip was gradually stained black by Tawil's blood.
"You see, your blood is all equally evil." Bai Liu's smile deepened, "It has the same polluting effect on me."
Bai Liu held Tavel's face with blood on his hands, lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "Xie Ta, now that it has come to this, do the only thing that will benefit me before you disappear."
Tavel raised his head and looked at Bai Liu with a pale face.
Bai Liu's smile was brilliant:
"——As a sacrifice to the new evil god, break free from all constraints and become a god for me, and die in the horrible illusion you created, Shetta."
The black whip in Bai Liu's hand had bone spurs spread out, and the thorn-like bone whip climbed and entangled on the inverted cross, winding around Tavel's hands and feet.
The bone spur pierced into the snow-white skin, and the tip of the bone whip stopped at the heart of Tavel, and then pierced in fiercely.
The blood seeped out and dripped onto the whip. The last white spot on the whip disappeared, turning it pitch black.
Bai Liu reached out and hugged Tawil, who was wrapped in the bone whip. He leaned close to Tawil's ear and whispered with a smile: "—Xeta, your death is the most valuable thing to me."
"I like things that are valuable, so I will fall in love with you the moment you die, and then pursue and miss you forever after you die."
"After you die, you will have my love forever. Isn't that what you want?"
"Want to make a deal with me?" Bai Liu smiled. He placed his hand on Tavel's heart. "Trade your death for my love?"
Hearing "Eternal Love", Tawil's heart, with the end of the whip inserted into his body, suddenly began to beat rapidly.
The evil god's oracle came from afar, smiling:
【So this is what you fear and want the most, Tawil.】
[You once had no fear of anything and no desires.]
[But now your fear and desire are all about Bai Liu. You are afraid that he will abandon you and forget you. You are afraid that Bai Liu will fall in love with someone else and believe in someone else. You want to possess his feelings and gain his faith.]
[You see, once God has emotions and becomes a human, he will be filled with desires and fears, and it won’t be long before he becomes a monster.]
[You knew this would happen, but you still fell in love with a person who was full of desire and reason, and who would most likely only use you, and you fell further for him.]
[This is really... so interesting. ]
Tawil's blood dripped from the bone spurs. He blinked slowly, and the light in his silver-blue eyes gradually faded.
When he opened his eyes the next second, Tavier appeared in the tavern in the town again.
He was surrounded by a crowd of people who were cheering and jubilant, but a closer look revealed that their faces were pale and their bodies had marks of stitches; they were all corpses.
Tavel was dressed neatly in a black groom's suit. He looked up and saw Bai Liu, who was standing on the stage in a white shirt and suit pants, holding a bouquet of bright flowers and smiling at him.
The corpses around laughed evilly and shouted, "Now please let the groom put the ring on the bridegroom, and then the groom can kiss the bridegroom."
Then Bai Liu walked down from the platform step by step, holding the bouquet. He walked to Tavier's side and took out a bone whip-shaped ring from the pocket of his suit pants. The ring was surrounded by thorns.
Bai Liu smiled and looked up at Tavier: "After you put on the ring, I will love you forever. Let's get married."
Tavel looked at Bai Liu, and there was no light in his silver-blue eyes.
When he was a child, he and Bai Liu occasionally talked about the topic of marriage.
【Marriage is when two people use love and law to bind each other and promise to be together forever.】
[Bai Liu, have you ever thought about who you want to marry? ]
Bai Liu propped his chin up and dozed off out of boredom. When he heard Xie Ta ask him, Bai Liu turned around and laughed, seeming to find it very funny: [No.]
Sheta was silent for a long time before continuing to ask: [Why?]
[I won’t love anyone forever.] Bai Liu laughed casually and replied, [Because it’s too worthless.]
Xie Ta was silent for a long time. Bai Liu seemed to notice his abnormality and leaned over to look at his expression with interest. Xie Ta slightly turned his eyes away and did not look at Bai Liu's face.
Bai Liu leaned against the bookcase, crossed his arms and smiled in an ambiguous manner: [You don’t want to marry a woman and start a family, do you? ]
Shetta didn't look him in the eye, but lowered her eyes: [Can't I have the thought of marrying someone? ]
[You can have it.] Bai Liu smiled with his eyebrows curled up in an extremely vicious way, [But that's just a fantasy.]
[Because an immortal monster like you cannot be registered and allowed to marry someone.]
[You'd better be honest and give up those weird ideas of yours and follow me forever.] Fourteen-year-old Bai Liu squatted down, held Xie Ta's chin and turned him around, so that Xie Ta could look directly at him.
Bai Liu smiled with a very evil look: [Because I am the only one willing to accept you and play games with you, little monster.]
The author has something to say:
6 Hours was really not a good kid, and was pretty bad until adolescence. Later, he was worn down by society (996)!
I see that the reader doesn't understand, so I'll explain. This sentence [System warning: Player Spade's monster book identity "The Fallen Old Evil God" desires are completely out of control, and the mental value is jumping at a high frequency...] is basically an illusion from now on
The main purpose of this chapter is to follow the character line of the tower
Not only 6 is uneasy, but Ta is also quite uneasy. 6 is afraid of Ta's leaving, while Ta is afraid of whether 6 really likes him or just thinks he is curious and interesting.
There are too many people around 6 who can replace Ta. Ta doesn't know whether he should exist or not. His existence can only bring pain to 6. Moreover, Ta doesn't even know whether 6 allows him to exist because he is valuable, or whether 6 really likes him and that's why he is in pain (because 6 sacrificed his pain to Ta and obtained the status of the evil god's successor).
So, on the one hand, Ta couldn't help wanting to possess 6, but on the other hand, he felt that it was despicable to possess her like this, because he couldn't understand 6's feelings for him.
