Area C.

The black whip was as agile as a cobra with its head raised. It drilled into the gaps between Bai Liu's cuffs and wrist skin, wrapped around the wrist bone all the way to the shoulder. Then the whip rotated, and with a "swish" sound, bone spurs popped out from both sides and pierced into Bai Liu's flesh and bone gaps.

Bai Liu grabbed the tail of the whip, pressed his wrist down and pulled it forward. The movement seemed light, but the force was so great that it pulled Bai Liu off the ground.

The whip wrapped around Bai Liu's arm suddenly tightened and turned several times like the blades of a juicer, tearing the flesh and bones of Bai Liu's left arm into pieces.

Bai Liu was dragged in front of Bai Liu. He saw Bai Liu raised his eyes and smiled and said to him: "The first step should be to surrender and pull out the opponent's arms, right?"

——This is what Bai Liu and Yuan Guang said before. Now Bai Liu said it as if he was joking, and even with a gentle tone.

"But surrendering our weapons won't do us much good, will it?"

As soon as Bai Liu finished speaking, Bai Liu quickly distanced himself from Bai Liu. He took out a bottle of antidote from his shirt pocket and drank it with a calm look. His arm that was broken by the whip instantly grew back.

"It's really hard to be your own enemy." Bai Liu retracted his bloody black bone whip, frowned and shook his head in distress, then raised his eyes and smiled at Bai Liu, "Although I can always have the upper hand with my experience, it doesn't seem easy to beat you."

“I believe you think so too.”

There was blood on Bai Liu's pale face and lips. He raised his hand to wipe it off and replied lightly, "Not bad."

The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened: "Because you knew from the beginning that you couldn't beat me, so you didn't plan to beat me, right?"

"You're just trying to stall for time. What are you waiting for?"

"You didn't use your teammates' moves from beginning to end when you were fighting me, leaving them more room to survive. So, you're not waiting for your teammates to win before they come to help you, are you?"

Bai Liu did not deny it. He said calmly, "It is at least more likely that they will defeat your men than that I will defeat you."

Bai Liu's smile turned playful: "Do you think they are better than my team members?"

"No, on the contrary, I think they are not as strong as your team members. They are not in the same league at all." Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu, "But compared with the gap between you and me, if we have to gamble on this match——"

"I bet on them to win."

"Is that so?" Bai Liurao raised his lips in amusement. The whip in his hand disappeared and turned into a short black dagger. He held it between two fingers and turned it around casually. Then he held it firmly with his backhand. "It sounds like a really good plan."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the dagger - he recognized it was Liu Huai's dagger.

Bai Liu in this world did not sign Liu Huai's skills to Mu Ke, but took them for himself.

Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu with a half-smile: "I thought you had an inappropriate desire to protect these useless team members who sold their souls to you?"

Bai Liu looked directly at Bai Liu without avoiding or avoiding him, and said calmly: "Isn't it natural for property owners to want to protect their property?"

Bai Liu walked towards Bai Liu at a moderate pace. His expression was obscured by the rising dust and could not be seen clearly. All that could be heard was a very faint chuckle:

"Is it just a desire to protect your property?"

“Property is most valuable when it is being consumed reasonably by its holders, and this is the same as currency.”

“Circulation and consumption are the ways to make them most valuable.”

Bai Liu's laughter came from all directions in the wind:

"I have never seen Bai Liu who only collects wealth without spending it. This kind of miserly behavior is not what a smart person would do. You should know this better than anyone else--"

"——The strong protectiveness at such close range can only come from one thing, something irrational that prevents you from viewing them as property."

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu loads the player Liu Huai's panel (Note: Player Liu Huai is in the state of a dead ghost in reality, has self-awareness, and can use this player panel). Use the opponent's personal skill (flash attack) to instantly move to any location on the map! ]

When these words came out from the dust, Bai Liu heard the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air very close to his ear.

A right hand wearing a black glove gently rested on Bai Liu's shoulder. Bai Liu's face broke through the mist and appeared behind Bai Liu's ear with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Liu's left hand went around Bai Liu's neck, and the tip of the dagger in his hand was against Bai Liu's neck. He slowly raised the tip of the knife, forcing Bai Liu, who was held by him, to tilt his neck back along the arc of the knife tip and lean his head on Bai Liu's shoulder to listen to him.

Bai Liu whispered softly in Bai Liu's ear with a sigh and a smile on his face:

"You are reluctant to spend all this wealth, and you are reluctant to let them die."

"You have feelings for them, Bai Liu."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Liu quickly grabbed the dagger with his backhand and slashed it upwards. Warm blood gushed out, staining the crooked reverse cross pattern drawn with a marker on the skin in the middle of Bai Liu's collarbone red.

The pattern absorbed Bai Liu's blood, lit up very faintly, and began to rotate at a speed so slow that it was completely invisible.

Bai Liu whipped Bai Liu who was behind him with a whip, and then continued to whip the five surrounding buildings without stopping.

In the chaos as five buildings were falling on Bai Liu, Bai Liu found a building to hide in. He covered his bloody throat, leaned against the wall, and calmly drank a bottle of antidote.

This is the last bottle of antidote he has. If he wants to use it again, he has to connect to Liu Jiayi's panel.

——But this means that Liu Jiayi cannot use her skills.

Bai Liu closed his eyes and took two deep breaths. He heard the clear footsteps of Bai Liu walking into the building where he was hiding, approaching him step by step.

Bai Liu slowly used his gloved right hand to wipe the blood off the dagger: "Are you still planning to delay time?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the antidote you just used is the last one. Of course, you can cut the door panels of your teammates and use their skills to continue using the antidote."

Bai Liu's voice was full of smiles: "But I can't guarantee the life and death of your team member. She seems to be different from my team member and doesn't seem to be good at poison skills?"

Bai Liu didn't make any sound.

"You are really calm. You made this choice driven by emotion, but you seem to be calm as if you don't care about the other person at all." Bai Liu said in a complimenting tone, "If I were not you, I might have been fooled by you."

"But the plan you chose to let your teammates compete is indeed the only plan that has the potential to turn the situation around and win against me."

"Because they have weaknesses, and I have no weaknesses anymore."

Bai Liu smiled and said, "God has no weaknesses. Things without weaknesses are invincible, so your judgment is correct. You have chosen the right path."

"But do you want to hear my judgment?"

The sound of Bai Liu's voice was getting closer and closer to where Bai Liu was hiding. The dagger in his hand disappeared and turned into a black bone whip again.

Bai Liu turned slightly away from the wall, his eyes dark as he grasped the bone whip in his hand. When Bai Liu opened his mouth again, he aimed at the wall and swung it down without hesitation!

Two bone whips, one black and one white, hit the wall almost at the same time. The wall instantly broke into pieces and shattered in all directions. The force of the whips did not decrease, and they connected in the air at the moment the wall shattered!

Bai Liu quickly pulled away the bone whip with a sharp look, and holding one side of the bone whip with his left hand, he aimed in a certain direction and made a blocking action in advance. The next second, Bai Liu grasped the bone whip and swung it over at a speed so fast that only the afterimage could be seen.

Bai Liu was smashed into the wall by Bai Liu's bone whip, and a dent of more than half a meter was smashed into the wall behind him. In almost one second, the shirt on his back was dyed completely red by the blood oozing from the wound.

Bai Liu dragged the whip in front of Bai Liu. He lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Liu, who was lowering his head, bleeding profusely, and with blood pooling under his feet:

"My judgment is that your second team member to die will be Mu Ke."

Area D.

Mu Ke was hit on the sternum with a backhand palm and was slammed into the wall. He coughed violently twice and then staggered to get up.

Before Mu Ke could get up, [Mu Ke] stepped down on his shoulder. His leather shoes pressed down little by little, pushing Mu Ke's shoulder down. Finally, Mu Ke was completely pressed down with his face pressed to the ground, but he didn't stop and was still exerting force.

Mu Ke's shoulder was stepped on and made a sound of shoulder bone breaking. His back spasmed and twitched due to the pain. Mu Ke held on to the floor and gritted his teeth to try to get up, but was stepped on by [Mu Ke] again.

[Mu Ke] looked down from above at Mu Ke struggling on the ground, and commented indifferently and contemptuously: "What a fragile and ugly body, so cheap that I feel disgusted just by looking at it."

"I really don't know how you have the courage to stand next to the president in this body and reach out to take the dagger he handed to you?"

[Mu Ke] was still trying hard. Mu Ke's shoulder had been completely collapsed by the pressure. He curled up in pain and coughed twice.

At this moment, his heart and body were filled with intense pain, which made Mu Ke unconscious for a moment and unable to judge the current situation.

Everything in front of me became blurry.

[Mu Ke] He grabbed Mu Ke's hair and lifted his powerless body, forcing Mu Ke to look at him, and then asked coldly: "Where is your dagger? Take it out."

"If you take it out now, I can end your worthless life cleanly."

Mu Ke, who was pulled up by his hair and covered with wounds, looked at the person opposite him through dizzy vision. He was in a daze for a while before he slowly recalled what happened.

Oh, dagger, yes, dagger, his skill weapon.

[Mu Ke] As soon as he takes out that skill weapon, I will quickly snatch it away and use it to kill him.

Mu Ke tried several times to attack [Mu Ke] with a dagger, but his speed and combat experience were completely unable to keep up with [Mu Ke]. As soon as the dagger was taken out, it was in [Mu Ke]'s hand almost before Mu Ke could make the first cut.

After realizing that the [Dagger] was just a weapon he gave to the person in front of him, Mu Ke quickly stopped summoning the dagger.

Then [Mu Ke] began to torture him with physical skills, forcing him to take out the dagger. Mu Ke was far inferior to his opponent in terms of fighting skills, panel, and reaction speed. The only thing that could match his opponent was his skills.

But in his hands, when facing [Mu Ke], this skill is like a child holding a sword, it only provides weapons to the opponent.

These were clearly things given to him by Bai Liu, but they were taken away again and again.

...He is really just as [Mu Ke] said, disgusting and worthless.

Mu Ke, who was lifted up, moved slightly. The index finger of his right hand, which was broken into several pieces by [Mu Ke], dripped blood along the corner of his clothes. He opened his eyes covered with blood scabs with difficulty and looked at the indifferent [Mu Ke] opposite him. Suddenly, he coughed neurotically and laughed at the same time.

Mu Ke spat a mouthful of blood foam at Mu Ke's face and said word by word in a hoarse voice:

"I will never use a dagger again. You can torture me."

"——Even if you torture me to death, I will never let you touch the dagger Bai Liu gave me again."

Mu Ke raised his chin slightly, and looked down at Mu Ke, whose expression had turned gloomy, with his blood-stained face. He raised the corners of his mouth with great effort: "Because that was something Bai Liu gave me."

"You don't deserve that world, and you don't deserve to touch this world."

"If Bai Liu thinks I have the value to deserve it, then I do." Mu Ke's laughter became more and more unbridled. "You are a person without skills who is jealous of me. Your value to your president is not even as good as one of my daggers, right?"

Mu Ke's face darkened completely, but soon returned to normal. He reached up and pulled out a silk scarf from his suit pocket and slowly wiped the blood foam off his face. He stared at Mu Ke and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "It seems that my patience gave you the confidence to speak so arrogantly."

"In that case, the game ends here."

[Mu Ke] pulled off the bandage around his neck, put his hands around Mu Ke's neck, circled his hands, and looked at him with anger and ferocity: "Die."

Mu Ke held the bandage that was rapidly tightening around his neck. The force of the bandage almost made his already slender neck smaller, and the diameter continued to shrink.

The shadow of Mu Ke's feet struggling on the ground was reflected on the wall. The shadow's movements became smaller and smaller, and then -

——The shadow's head was strangled by the bandage and rolled down. It bounced twice on the ground and rolled to the leg of the mahogany table. A stream of liquid gushed out from the broken surface of the headless shadow's body.

The headless shadow body fell to the ground motionless.

[Mu Ke] lowered his eyes unmoved, turned around to retract the bandage, and whispered to the gemstone cufflinks on his sleeves: "President, the mission is accomplished, I will be back immediately."

The hands of the headless body lying in a pool of blood moved slightly twice, as if trying to hold something, and then let go weakly.

[System prompt: Player Mu Ke's health is rapidly decreasing! ! 22...17...13...Warning! Player's health is less than 10! ]

Mu Ke's head was lying beside the table leg, staring at the departing [Mu Ke] with his eyes wide open. His eyelids slowly closed, and countless memories were mingling in his mind.

"What is the essence of an assassin?" Mu Ke crossed his legs nervously as he sat in the conference room of the wandering circus. "I'm sorry to waste your time, but I really want to ask, what is the best assassin in Bai Liu's mind? I want to find my own position."

There were only two people in the conference room: Mu Ke and Bai Liu who was sitting opposite Mu Ke.

Bai Liu leaned back in his chair, put his hand on his chin and thought: "I actually don't like assassins."

Mu Ke was about to burst into tears: "Huh?! Bai Liu doesn't like assassins?!"

"Well, being an assassin means sacrifice most of the time. You use everything you have to lower the opponent's vigilance, and endure humiliation and wait for the final blow. Even for the best assassins, most of the time they both die together." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Mu Ke. "This is not my style. I hope to have more of it."

Mu Ke pursed his lower lip: "Then I give up..." Assassin skills, change the way...

Bai Liu calmly interrupted Mu Ke: "Do you like assassins?"

Mu Ke was startled. He lowered his head, and slowly clenched his trousers with his hands on his knees. Then he said softly, "I didn't like it before, because I wanted to live a little longer..."

"But after seeing how hard Liu Huai worked to achieve what he wanted to do, I felt..."

Mu Ke's tone paused.

"Before, I never had anyone or anything I wanted to pursue. I just lived in fear of death." Mu Ke lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller. "But... if I could be like Liu Huai and give everything to protect the person I want to protect the most."

"...I think that death wouldn't be so scary if that were the case."

Mu Ke opened his mouth and a tear fell on the back of his hand: "I think assassins like that are very handsome."

"Not like me at all, so cowardly, so afraid of death, shining brightly, I want to be an assassin who can face death bravely for someone."

"Well." Bai Liu said calmly, "Then go ahead and become one."

The assassin must have no sense of existence, must not be conspicuous, must minimize the enemy's vigilance against him, must make the enemy feel that he is absolutely harmless, and then -

——One strike kills.

Nothing is more alarming than a dying man without a head.

[System warning: Player Mu Ke's health continues to drop...8...6...]

The headless body slowly rose from the ground, with smoke swirling in its hands, gathering into a sharp black dagger.

Now that it has no head, it has no vision, hearing, or smell. The only way it can perceive its environment is through touch.

[Mu Ke]'s steps as he left the cemetery room caused the floor to shake. He held the dagger in one hand and placed his other palm on the ground to feel the vibration. His index finger was in a broken shape.

Mu Ke counted in his mind... one step, two steps...

Don't be anxious, the assassin has to wait for the best opportunity.

It clearly remembered the layout of the entire room. This pace could only be heading to the southeast corner. Mu Ke was going to get the land certificate he had placed there. There was a monster in the cemetery building there. If Mu Ke wanted to take the land certificate, based on his understanding of his own style, in order to avoid accidents, he would definitely completely destroy the monster and his own body before leaving.

Then this means that [Mu Ke] will definitely come back.

Before [Mu Ke] turned around to deal with his own [headless corpse] thoroughly, he chose to deal with the monster's corpse first.

The pace stopped.

One, two... -- Now!

[System prompt: Player Mu Ke uses his personal skill (Flash Attack), the player's remaining health triggers a critical hit, and the damage is doubled! ]

On the wall, the headless corpse suddenly jumped from the ground to the back of the adult man and stabbed into the other's heart. Mu Ke's pupils shrank, and an indescribable pain spread from his heart, making his movements stiff for one or two seconds.

really!!

This guy didn't treat his heart disease!! This was his weakness and he won the gamble!

Mu Ke continued to stab inside fiercely, turning the handle of the knife. If he had a head now, he would have screamed at the top of his lungs, but he didn't, so he just silently delivered the assassin's final blow with a strength that made him almost tremble all over.

Only after [Mu Ke] was completely motionless did he roll off his back paralyzedly.

He crawled weakly on the ground, crawled to his head, lay down and connected his body to the broken head, then searched his body for a long time, found a half-drunk bottle of antidote, and poured it on his neck.

The wound between the fractured face and the head healed slowly. Mu Ke coughed twice, his face turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide open. The system prompt sounded in his ears.

[System prompt: Player Mu Ke used the skill Mu Ke to kill (Summoned Mu Ke)]

Mu Ke clenched the dagger in his hand and let out a long sigh. He clenched the dagger in his hand and couldn't help but closed his eyes and smiled.
