Bai Liu stood on the highest step of the temple. Lu Yizhan held Fang Dian in his arms and looked over there in a daze. Bai Liu's expression was obscured by the trembling collar of his shirt as his long hair fluttered in the wind.

Lu Yizhang could only see him smiling, and he said with a smile: "I will design a save point in each world line, and then drop you there."

"Are you ready?"

Lu Yizhan heard Fang Dian in his arms say softly, "It's ready."

Bai Liu smiled: "Then the game begins."

"World Line 0002 has landed."

Lu Yizhan only felt that the temple where he was standing was sinking, and everyone fell into the sea. Fang Dian in his arms and he were slowly separated in the water. No matter how hard he tried, he could not hold her hand. Reluctantly, he tightened his grip on Fang Dian's hands and stared at Fang Dian who closed her eyes in the water.

...I always feel that if I let go now, I will never be able to be with her again.

The next second when Lu Yizhan regained consciousness, he was already sitting in the office of the Bureau of Heresy.

Lu Yizhan suddenly realized that everything around him was as familiar and unfamiliar as before. His mind was blank. He stood up and staggered two steps. He vaguely felt that he seemed to have something important to do, but he could not remember anything.

Team members ran by him, and when they saw him, they would nod and bow to greet him: "Hello, Deputy Captain Lu!"

Lu Yizhan reacted slowly. He looked down at the left chest of his uniform, where was a badge - [Deputy Captain of the First Team: Lu Yizhan].

...something seems wrong...

It seems like he shouldn't be the vice-captain.

Who is the vice-captain?

Lu Yizhan walked into the captain's office of the First Team with a dazed look on his face. The moment he opened the door, he saw Wu Ruishu turning around and looking at him from behind the desk. There was a sign on the desk: [Captain of the First Team: Wu Ruishu].

"Vice President Lu, is there anything I can help you with?" Wu Ruishu pushed his glasses and asked him seriously.

Lu Yizhan shook his head with a blank expression and walked out. He heard a strange electronic sound flashing in his head:

[System prompt: Desire detected, congratulations to player Lu Yizhan for logging into the game. ]

[The game is loading...]

After he narrowly passed the first game at Lu Station and obtained his personal skill, the Prophet, he sat in the busy hall with a completely dull expression, tears streaming down his face unconsciously.

He remembered, he remembered everything.

The existence of Fangdian was completely wiped out by Bai Liu.

The Inquisition no longer exists in this world. He doesn't even know where the rest of the team has gone. Everyone he sees seems to be enjoying the game with the evil god, who smiles and writes in his prophecy to him:

[At the 658th world line, all of you judges will sell your souls to my derivative, Bai Liu.]

[——That will be your last world line. ]

Lu Yizhan stood up on his knees, his head lowered, his eyes red—

——He wants to find Bai Liu immediately and kill him.

He would never let this prophecy come true!

"Deputy Captain Lu." Wu Ruishu turned to look at Lu Yizhan with a serious expression, "Focus, we are going to search for a major heretic with a danger level close to red today, the location is in the welfare home."

Lu Yizhan played games all night last night and now he is a little listless, but he forced himself to nod: "Yes!"

Wu Ruishu frowned and stared at Lu Yizhan for a while: "Lu Yizhan, have you been...working too hard recently?"

"In one week, one person led a team to catch 127 high-risk red-level heretics. If you are not in good condition today, why don't you go back and rest first?"

"No!" Lu Yizhan interrupted Wu Ruishu with anger, "I absolutely cannot rest!"

He is the person who knows the most about Bai Liu's plan. If he takes a break, something might happen to everyone.

Wu Ruishu pushed his glasses silently and said, "As your captain, I still hope that you can reasonably balance work and life. In addition, I have sorted out the relevant information about the name [Bai Liu] that you asked me to find out before and sent it to you."

"There is a child named Bai Liu in the welfare home we visited today. He is sixteen years old. I'm not sure if he is the one you are looking for."

Lu Yizhan frowned when he heard this: "Are there any photos?"

"There are only group photos, and they are all from four or five years ago," Wu Ruishu said. "If you are going there today, you can check it in person."

Lu Yizhan frowned and nodded.

Wu Ruishu turned around and prepared to leave. He paused as he pushed open the door and said, "I sense that you have great ill will towards the person you are looking for, Bai Liu, so I hope you can check carefully whether this child is the one you are looking for."

"No matter what this Bai Liu did, I hope you can uphold your duty as the leader of the First Division and not spread your hatred and malice to innocent people."

"Never use hatred to turn yourself into a heretic, Lu Yizhan."

Lu Yizhan was stunned.

Wu Ruishu calmly pushed the door open and left.

Outside the Aixin Welfare Home.

Wu Ruishu frowned as he sneaked in from the side door with Lu Yizhang and three other team members. They saw a church in the distance and a strong smell of blood came from the church.

Lu Yizhan looked at the inverted cross on top of the church and his heart beat faster.

Wu Ruishu told him that this Ai Xin Welfare Home was a private welfare home, and the Bureau of Handling Heresy had found out that there was a high possibility that children and some items were being auctioned off at certain times inside the welfare home, but they had not yet found out what exactly was being auctioned, and they only knew that the auctions were usually held on Wednesdays.

"Deputy Captain Lu," Wu Ruishu ordered calmly, "The welfare home auction will be behind the church. When we rush in, save people first, and the rest can be put off until later."

Lu Yizhan nodded.

Even though I was mentally prepared, my heart still stopped when I rushed into the Church Land Inn and saw all this. The neatly dressed, well-behaved investors sitting down there had arms and legs that were so incredibly thin that they obviously looked like monsters.

All kinds of deformed children wearing white baptismal gowns, standing on the baptismal base holding candles, with all kinds of blood-drawing tubes connected to their bodies.

The biggest source of the bloody smell was the baptismal font behind them. The font was full of blood, and a young man was curled up in the blood. His wrists were cut and bleeding was obviously happening.

Without saying a word, Lu Yizhan threw himself into the battle against the investor monster.

Wu Ruishu jumped onto the platform and asked other team members to evacuate the children who were still able to move. He then lowered his head, took the child out of the baptismal pool, and ran outside quickly with an anxious look on his face: "Call an ambulance!"

The weak boy curled up in Wu Ruishu's arms opened one eye and said in a hoarse voice that was hard to recognize: "...Uncle, are you here to save me?"

"It will be fine soon." Wu Ruishu quickly assured with his jaw clenched, "You will never be in trouble again."

Lu Yizhan's mind suddenly went blank, and he heard the evil god speaking prophecies and oracles into his ears:

[The derivative of the evil god pretended to be weak and curled up in the arms of the kind-hearted judge who had lost his memory. What an upright soul! He showed a greedy smile——]

【So he stole the other's soul. 】

Lu Yizhan's pupils shrank to a tiny dot. He heard the child weakly say, "This is all the money I have. I'm giving it all to my uncle."

"Thank you uncle for saving me."

In order to comfort the child, Wu Ruishu took the money and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do."

The child with blood all over his face suddenly raised his lips and said, "Then please take the money, uncle."

"Just sell your soul to me."

Lu Yizhang turned around, drew his gun, pointed it at the child, and shouted hoarsely: "Wu Ruishu! Let him go! Let me kill him!"

"He is the Bai Liu I'm looking for!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yizhan fired without hesitation. Wu Ruishu instantly curled up his body, wrapped Bai Liu in his arms, and used his body to block the shot for Bai Liu.

Blood spurted out from his back.

Bai Liu jumped out of Wu Ruishu's arms, who was lying on the ground. He raised his eyebrows and held up a soul coin to look at Lu Yizhan, whose eyes were dim. Then he chuckled as if mocking him, logged into the game, and disappeared in front of him, leaving only one sentence:

"You foolish man who thinks he can save everything."

Lu Yizhan carried Wu Ruishu on his back and ran out. He ran very fast, with sweat and tears running down his forehead. "Captain Wu, hold on a little longer. The ambulance will be here soon."

"But it's useless now." Wu Ruishu suddenly smiled weakly, "I remembered Lu Station. When I successfully traded with Bai Liu just now, I went to the temple. Bai Liu lifted the seal on my memory and made me remember everything."

"I saw my soul begin to turn to stone."

Wu Ruishu's voice became softer and softer: "...Bai Liu is so cunning. It's so unfair to you that you are the only one who remembers all this."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lu Yizhan."

Lu Yizhan gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry. If I had found out earlier that the child was Bai Liu, I wouldn't have..."

Wu Ruishu interrupted Lu Yizhan and said, "I don't regret saving him."

The Lu Station was at a standstill.

"When I was rescued by Fang Dian, I was also a bad kid in my family. My whole family gave up on me, saying that I was not worth saving and would definitely go to jail in the future. It would be better for me to use my blood to make blood ganoderma to make my father immortal. This is the only contribution I can make." Lu Yizhan could feel the blood on Wu Ruishu's chest behind him spreading warmly on his back, and stopped him in a hoarse voice: "Stop talking!"

Wu Ruishi continued with a smile: "But Fang Team still saved me."

"She told me that if we didn't rescue the person, how would we know whether he was a good person or a bad person?"

"There is no good or bad dead person."

"From that time on, I hoped that I could be like Fang Tuan and one day save those who were judged to be not worth saving."

Wu Ruishu's voice was so soft that it seemed like it would disappear in the next second: "...If I had to do it again, I would still save him."

"What if the Bai Liu in this world line is a good boy?"

"I wanted to believe he was a good guy until he killed me and was a bad guy."

Wu Ruishu's voice finally stopped. He closed his eyes and slowly slid down from Lu Yizhan's shoulder:

“…Don’t let hatred change your beliefs.”

"Justice will surely triumph over evil."

Lu Yizhan had a blank expression as he knelt on the ground motionlessly, with Wu Ruishu lying next to him. A system notification sounded in his ears.

[System prompt: Judge Wu Ruishu's soul has petrified, confirmed dead, and disqualified from the game. ]

[Before his death, Judge Wu Ruishu transferred his rule skill (Tai Chi Bagua) to the player Lu Yizhan. ]
