Liu Jiayi looked up at [Liu Jiayi], sizing her up as if examining her: "There's something strange about what you just said."

"Even if you didn't get the Soul Coin, with your abilities, especially Mu Sicheng's mobility skills, it shouldn't be difficult to escape from Bai Liu's hands, right? Why do you have to have your Soul Coin stolen before you can escape? This doesn't make sense."

"You have even let death go." Liu Jiayi pressed, "It is impossible for you to commit a crime here, right?"

Liu Jiayi paused slightly, turned her face away, put one hand casually on her knee, and suddenly started playing with a test tube of poison as if to distract herself, and opened her mouth slightly.

Her long, curly eyelashes were half-dropped, covering her eyes that were clear and a little inappropriate for the time being. Her hair was blown gently by her ears by the wind. She said in a very soft voice, "...the monkey didn't steal our soul banknotes."

Liu Jiayi paused, as if she realized something, and suddenly raised her head to look at her: "It's my brother's?!"

[Liu Jiayi] occasionally turned the test tube in her hand, lowered her head so that her expression could not be seen clearly, and her voice was so flat that no emotion could be heard:

"…At the beginning, under the instigation of Bai Liu, Monkey and I killed him in anger. I dug out his eyes and Monkey chopped off his hands."

"In fact, I had no regrets at the time. I just felt a sense of pleasure from revenge, and then I felt empty."

[Liu Jiayi] slowly clenched the test tube in her hand, making a sound so soft that it seemed like it would be blown away by the wind:

"... a feeling of emptiness and confusion that seems to last until our death. I don't want to revive him, but I always feel as if..."

【Liu Jiayi】curled up her knees and hugged herself, mumbling to herself, "It seems that from now on, there will be no one who can love me in this world."

"We spent several years in this emptiness, and then Bai Liu discovered the copy of the five-building building. He landed on this copy, which covered Monkey and his original university campus. His registered permanent residence was there..."

[Liu Jiayi] slowly raised her head, her face expressionless: "So the monkey and I met a ghost Liu Huai whose eyes had been gouged out and his hands had been chopped off."

Liu Jiayi pursed her lips and asked, "And what did he... tell you?"

"Monkey and I both thought he would swear at us, or at least run away out of fear. After all, we were both very ruthless when we killed him, and he died a miserable death." Liu Jiayi paused for a while, and chuckled as if she remembered something funny, and said absentmindedly:

"He couldn't see and didn't have hands, so he was bullied by others as a ghost. The monkey and I drove away the ghosts who bullied him, and he kept bowing to us and saying thank you."

“He didn’t recognize us.”

"Then Monkey spoke first. He said, "Hey, Liu Huai, you are dead and you are living like this. I brought your sister to see you." Then he burst into tears. He cried so miserably that he couldn't even stand up straight. He asked, "How did you die?"

"Then I said, you are the one who died, and we are alive and well."

[Liu Jiayi] slowly buried her head in her knees, her voice muffled: "Then he started crying and laughing at the same time, saying that's good."

"It's good for you to be alive. It doesn't matter if I die. It's good for you to live well."

"We didn't talk to Monkey on the way back, and then he suddenly asked me to revive him. I said his soul was in Bai Liu's hands, and we couldn't revive him. Bai Liu would never give us Liu Huai's soul."

"The monkey said, I can't stand watching this guy being ridden on the head like a homeless man. If I go to steal, the worst that can happen is that I will be beaten to death."

【Liu Jiayi】 She was silent for a long time. She looked at Liu Jiayi who was shocked and said, "After Monkey was beaten, Bai Liu also came to me, but he didn't beat me. Bai Liu knew that this kind of punishment was meaningless to me."

She closed her eyes. "He brought Liu Huai's ghost back and threw him to Daniel's men, who tortured him. I watched him being tortured in the torture room through the glass, screaming the whole time."

Liu Jiayi's voice was a little unsteady: "He didn't even scream like that the day I killed him."

"Bai Liu stood next to me and watched with me. He said calmly, Jiayi, I know it was your idea. I won't do it again next time."

After she finished speaking, the two of them fell into silence.

【Liu Jiayi】exhaled and suddenly burst into laughter: "I have a piece of advice for you, little sister. Don't risk your life for Bai Liu. It won't end well."

"But since I sold my soul to him too early in every world line," Liu Jiayi sighed and shrugged with regret, "So telling you now is like hindsight, and it seems useless."

"Let's stop here. I've had enough of slacking off today. I'm leaving now."

As she spoke, she stood up, patted her butt and was about to leave. As soon as she stood up a little, Liu Jiayi, who was sitting opposite her, pulled her clothes. Liu Jiayi turned around with a puzzled look: "What are you doing..."

Liu Jiayi rushed over and hugged her tightly.

Liu Jiayi's pupils shrank slightly, then quickly expanded. She jokingly tried to tear Liu Jiayi off her chest: "Hey, little sister, don't act coquettishly in front of a strange big sister. I am a very cold-blooded killer. I killed my own father with my own hands, and I dug out my brother's eyeballs..."

"I have a lot of people who love me now." Liu Jiayi interrupted Liu Jiayi and said quickly, "When I was in the orphanage, many people called me a blind kid, and no one was willing to adopt me. My brother was always worried when he saw me, as if he was going to abandon me at any time."

"I seem to be living in an atmosphere where I am about to be abandoned at any time."

"But!" Liu Jiayi said loudly, "After I met Bai Liu, two families competed to have me as their daughter. There was no Daniel in the team, but there was a big fool who would buy me a skirt, a silly monkey, and a rich young master. I had a brother in a regiment. They all cried when I left the team."

"They are all very nice to me and they like me very much."

Liu Jiayi hugged [Liu Jiayi]'s neck: "So, big sister, it's not that no one loves you."

"You just haven't met them yet. Live well and you will meet them eventually."

"It sounds like..." [Liu Jiayi] slowly hugged her back, lowered her head and chuckled, "You are living a very happy life."

"You are the happiest story of all the stories about me that I have ever heard."

She closed her eyes: "Then I will reluctantly believe you."

Area C.

In the ruins, Bai Liu, whose white shirt was spotless with neither dust nor blood, smiled as he stood opposite Bai Liu, who was covered in wounds. The collars and corners of their shirts were swaying back and forth in the strong wind.

The buildings around them were slowly collapsing, and reinforced concrete walls and canvas fell to the ground, creating a huge amount of flying dust, creating a visual effect of the ground rising up, the sky sinking, the end of the world coming, and the world collapsing.

The building where they were staying did not allow sunlight to shine in. The golden sunlight penetrated through the fine dust and smoke, casting incredibly bright beams of light around Bai Liu and Bai Liu. Their eyebrows and eyes were reflected in such brilliant light, making them seem unreal.

The mist behind them was broken.

[Mu Sicheng] and [Liu Jiayi] appeared behind Bai Liu, one of them put his hands in his pockets and looked to the left, while the other touched the back of his neck and looked to the right, neither of them reported the mission.

Bai Liu didn't seem surprised. When he saw them coming back, he just smiled and said, "It seems that you didn't complete the task."

"Xiao Ke should have returned with the effect of the death-free gold medal. He worked hard."

[Mu Sicheng] glanced at Bai Liu, hummed, and looked away without caring, yawning: "I have been sleeping too much recently and have no energy to fight, so I didn't finish it. Boss, you can punish me if you want."

Liu Jiayi's excuse was not so perfunctory. She lowered her head and took out an attitude of admitting her fault: "I was with Shi Qian and Yuan Guang, so it was difficult to use range skills, and they ran away. Sorry, I only brought back the land certificate."

"Yeah." Bai Liu didn't really care. He smiled and asked, "It feels good to communicate with yourself who is doing well, right?"

The expressions of [Mu Sicheng] and [Liu Jiayi] changed slightly.

"Boss, what are you talking about?" [Mu Sicheng] looked at Bai Liu sleepily, "How are you doing?"

[Liu Jiayi] cursed [Mu Sicheng]'s poor acting skills in her heart, and lowered her head obediently: "There was no communication on my side, and the other side resisted fiercely."

"Is that so?" Bai Liu slowly retracted his gaze, "I thought you would be in a good mood in this world line."

He looked at Bai Liu across from him, the smile in his eyes growing deeper: "At least I'm in a good mood."

"It's been a long time since I met someone so interesting and valuable."

[Mu Sicheng]'s face completely sank.

Those who were evaluated in this way by Bai Liu either had their souls purchased by him or were tortured by him to the point where their lives were worse than death.

——Or in other words, in the eyes of [Mu Sicheng], these two have basically the same fate.

Four other team members slowly walked out from behind Bai Liu, but the styles of these four people were somewhat inconsistent with Bai Liu, whose clothes were not dirty at all.

Tang Erda was slightly better off, but Liu Jiayi's clothes were corroded black by the poisonous mist and her face was dirty. Mu Ke and Mu Sicheng were even worse off, almost covered in blood.

"We're all here." Bai Liu opened his eyelids and raised the corners of his mouth. "The most interesting part of this game is about to begin."

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu uses player Daniel's panel to use the opponent's personal weapon.]

The whip in Bai Liu's hand disappeared and turned into a grass-green sniper rifle.

The moment the gun appeared, the expressions of Tang Erda, Mu Sicheng, and Liu Jiayi all changed.

——This is Daniel’s weapon, the Soul Crusher!

"This is a gun that can shatter souls. The souls of players who are hit will be shattered, and there is no possibility of resurrection in any world line." The smile on Bai Liu's face became more and more ethereal. He raised his hand and made a "bang" gesture, "Once you are hit like this, you will no longer exist."

"The cooldown time for this gun is fifteen minutes."

Bai Liu looked up at Bai Liu and the circus members behind him and smiled, "Bai Liu, how about we play a game?"

"I have a land certificate here, so you can't end the game of Five Buildings by collecting all the land certificates. The only way you can end this game is if you are completely wiped out, or your opponent is completely wiped out."

"Then I give you two choices."

Bai Liu signaled with his eyes to Liu Jiayi, asking her to throw the unconscious Shi Qian and Yuan Guang to the middle of the two camps. Then he pointed his gun at the two people, raised his eyes and smiled at Bai Liu opposite him:

"My gun will shatter a person's soul every fifteen minutes until the end of the game, but in return, you can make a choice."

"If you choose to shatter the souls of Yuan Guang and Shi Qian, then I will give you the gun and let you shoot them yourself, and then the game will end, you win the game, and I get what I want."

Bai Liu looked back and forth between Bai Liu and the tense Tang Er before he said, "Or, you can choose not to kill them, and I will randomly select one of your team members and shoot him every fifteen minutes."

The moment these words were spoken, Tang Er raised the gun and pointed it at his head, looking at Bai Liu and the gun in his hand with red and fierce eyes.

[System prompt: Player (Rose Hunter) uses skill (Suicide Bullet)]

The silver bullet passed through Tang Erda's head, quickly slid in a shining arc in the air, and then hit Bai Liu's head.

Bai Liu's head was hit and tilted in the air.

His white shirt was stained with blood for the first time. Then he turned his head as if nothing had happened and tapped the muzzle of the gun on his temple with his finger. After Liu Jiayi used a healing skill on him, he continued with an unchanged smile: "Okay, your turn is over. The skill of Suicide Bullet has reached its cooldown time. It's my turn next."

Bai Liu raised his gun and looked at Bai Liu, whose face was expressionless: "Choose."

"The countdown begins... 5, 4, 3, 1, time's up."

Bai Liu raised his gun, pointed it at Mu Sicheng, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Mu Sicheng suddenly came out, holding the muzzle of the gun, raised his head and looked at Bai Liu deeply: "Boss, forget it."

Bai Liu glanced at him sideways and suddenly chuckled: "How interesting! This is the first time I see you pleading for another self."

"What's the reason?"

【Mu Sicheng】took two deep breaths and said, "They have no vested interests with us, so there is no need to do this."

"Is that the reason?" Bai Liu's smile turned playful, and he half-closed his eyes. "I thought it was, 'At least I can see that there is a world line where I got the friend I wanted.'"

【Mu Sicheng】 was silent for two seconds, he slowly raised his bloodshot eyes and looked at Bai Liu: "Even if I think so, is there anything wrong with that?"

"At least there is a world line that lets them go, Bai Liu. You already have so much, so allow others to have some as well."

Before [Mu Sicheng] finished his words, his two hands instantly turned into monkey claws and attacked Bai Liu's throat with strong murderous intent.

Bai Liu dodged with his shoulders lowered. He lowered his eyelids and looked at Mu Sicheng with pity and regret: "Once you have excessive emotions, you will inevitably become an inferior animal with overflowing value."

“There’s not much value left.”

Bai Liu held [Mu Sicheng]'s shoulder with one hand, and aimed the soul-crushing gun at [Mu Sicheng]'s abdomen with the other hand, and then——

"Bang--"

"Monkey!" Liu Jiayi's pupils shrank.

Blood splashed on the corners of Bai Liu's eyes.

[Mu Sicheng]'s pupils dilated instantly, and the part of him that was hit by the gun turned gray in an instant, and quickly spread to all parts of his body as if burning. He half-knelt on the ground, stagnant, and twitching, and let out two hoarse screams.

Bai Liu pulled out a soul coin that was crushed together with [Mu Shicheng] from his gloves. The pattern on it was Mu Shicheng with red eyes.

The paper money and [Mu Sicheng] slowly turned into ashes.

Bai Liu released the soul coin that had dissipated into powder and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Mu Sicheng."

[Liu Jiayi] Looking at the pile of ashes, her hands and lips were shaking, and her eyes were so red that she was about to cry. On impulse, she took two steps forward with a blank mind.

The sniper rifle in Bai Liu's hand instantly turned into a dagger and silently pressed against her neck.

He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jiayi calmly: "Jiayi, I said this won't happen again next time."

The cold touch of the dagger made Liu Jiayi suddenly clear her mind.

——This is Liu Huai’s dagger.

Bai Liu was reminding her that Liu Huai was still in his hands.

Liu Jiayi clenched her fists, trying her best to keep her expression calm, then gritted her teeth to steady her trembling voice, lowered her head and said respectfully: "...Yes."

"Alright." Bai Liu turned his head and looked at the almost silent team opposite him, with the same smile on his face as before, as if the pile of ashes in front of him was not the team members he had just killed. "My team just bought you another fifteen minutes of thinking time."

"Bai Liu, you have fifteen minutes to choose who to kill."
