Less than a week after Wu Ruishu's death, Lu Yizhan discovered that the blood ganoderma from the Ai Xin Welfare House spread all over the world at an incredible speed. No matter how Lu Yizhan tried to stop it, no matter how he told these people not to grow blood ganoderma, because it was grown with children's blood and was a very dangerous heresy.
And these people who were planting just looked at the post lazily and said, what, is it poured with children's blood? We thought it was pig's blood, but we really didn't know anything.
——I just know that this thing is worth a lot of money.
No one cooperated with Lu Yi Station's investigation. Even if Lu Yi Station searched out all the blood Ganoderma lucidum, they would hide a lot of spores and then cultivate blood Ganoderma lucidum again.
It seems that the blood ganoderma has invisibly forged a blood transfusion channel in the world, transmitting the young lives of those poor and abandoned children to those wealthy investors through blood.
And these children will also be grateful to the investors for their nurturing and for providing them with a good living standard before they were selected as "blood bags".
No matter how Lu Yizhan tried to stop him and cut off the blood vessel, countless people would rush to maintain the operation of the blood vessel. Most of the time, they would even despise Lu Yizhan's ignorance and stupidity, and would look at him with an arrogant look and say -
——Do you know how valuable this thing is?
Those selected [blood bags] didn't say anything. It's a matter between two willing parties, so why do you care?
Most of the children who are chosen to be "blood bags" can live a fairly high standard of living, so they are happy most of the time and don't resist at all. They just need to feel some pain every week, eat delicious food, play with fun toys, and sleep on a soft bed.
"The investor is very nice." A skinny child with several pinholes on his hands looked at Lu Yizhan and smiled sweetly, "He will buy us milk candy."
Lu Yizhan stood quietly outside the welfare home. He looked up at the welfare home sign for a long time. The sunlight almost made him dizzy. He heard a prompt tone in his ear.
[System prompt: 0002 world line is polluted, game ends, save point generated. ]
【The Inquisitor lost the game.】
Third World Line:
[System prompt: Judge Ren Yuxin's soul has been petrified, confirmed dead, and disqualified from the game.]
[Before his death, Judge Ren Yuxin transferred his rule skill (memory folding) to the player Lu Yizhan. ]
[System prompt: 0003 world line is polluted, game ends, save point generated. ]
…
Fourth World Line:
[System prompt: Judge Sulan's soul has been petrified, confirmed dead, and disqualified from the game. ]
[Before death, Judge Sulan transferred his rule skill (world line overlap) to the player Lu Yizhan. ]
[System prompt: 0004 world line is polluted, game ends, save point generated. ]
…
When the fifth world line failed, only Lu Yizhan and two other judges were left. He returned to the temple for the first time after the game.
Bai Liu was sitting at the card table, holding his chin and looking at him with a smile. Sitting around him were five strange stone sculptures that had been completely petrified.
Lu Yizhan calmly sat down opposite Bai Liu and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"There are only two judges left." Bai Liu smiled, "The game ended much faster than I expected. The justice you enforced was sometimes close to stupidity, which made it very easy to control."
Lu Yizhan calmly looked up at Bai Liu and said, "So what do you want to play?"
"Do you know how to play Werewolf?" Bai Liu put a deck of cards on the stone table. He looked at Lu Yizhan with a smile, "How about we play Werewolf with identity settings?"
"I will set up a group of characters with Werewolf identities, and place them on certain people in the next world line, and then see who they will be attracted to and who they will actively gather around."
"The cards include witches, hunters, thieves, and so on." Bai Liu pointed at a card with a little girl in a witch costume and said with a smile, "Based on my understanding of your tastes, you should prefer marginal characters who have a miserable life. So in order to ensure your playability, I will try my best to pick marginal characters who have a bad life and whose experience and skills meet the settings of the Werewolf card."
"And according to the logic you believe in, these marginalized people would naturally be more easily attracted to the light."
Bai Liu raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It depends on whether they are more easily attracted to your light or my evil."
Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu and asked, "How do you want to play?"
"How about a team fight?" Bai Liu put a few cards on the stone table, facing down, and the smile on his face deepened. "Based on the existing game rules, add a team fight game to the game."
"If you lose the worldline match but win the in-game team match against my token, I can grant you a wish."
Bai Liu lowered his eyes lazily: "To put it simply, it is a team confrontation between the good guys and the bad guys. I hope that as a pillar of the good guys, you have enough ability to hone my bad guys team into something decent."
"Otherwise this game would be too boring."
"The sooner a boring game ends, the better."
Lu Yizhan was silent for a few seconds, then he agreed: "Okay."
But Lu Yizhan never expected that the hunter card chosen by Bai Liu would be——
Lu Yizhan's pupils shrank as he looked at Cen Mingbu, who was standing in front of him with both eyes intact. He clearly heard a cold mechanical prompt in his mind:
[System prompt: You have found the (Hunter) card, please bring him under your command as soon as possible. ]
Cen Mingming frowned and looked at him: "Lu Yizhan, you are now the captain of the first team, don't force me to scold you, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Yizhan turned his eyes away hastily. He tilted his head and remained silent for a moment. He clenched his palms and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing: "Nothing..."
Cen Mingming glanced at him and said, "Even though I lost the competition with you for the position of captain of the first team, I will not bear a grudge against you. Any position is for the capable. Now I am the captain of the second team, so I will do my job well."
Cen Mingming lowered his head and began to read the document: "Recently, we have discovered that students in high schools have suddenly had their eyes gouged out. After the eyes are gouged out, these students will yell and say that their eyes hurt and they have feelings. People there have reported it to us. I suspect they are red-level heretics. We may need a captain to lead a team to contain the heretics."
"Are you going or should I go?" Cen Mingming asked.
Lu Yi stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
"Just a red-level heretic." Cen Mingming began to get a little angry. "A detachment commander is enough. Are you humiliating me, Lu Yizhan?"
Lu Yizhan was speechless. He wanted to say that this heresy, this information, would have been unacceptable if Bai Liu hadn't deliberately arranged for him to eat his eyeballs on the spot.
But Cen Ming knew that this person had a very stubborn character, like a donkey. He would not move if pulled, and would even pull him backwards. If Lu Yizhan said anything that was beyond the scope of his identity, this person would definitely get to the bottom of it and dig up the tombs of Lu Yizhan's ancestors for eighteen generations.
...Actually, it's not impossible to pull Cen Mingming in and tell him everything.
But Lu Yizhan hasn't decided whether to bring Cen Mingming in.
Cen Mingming looked at the hesitant Lu Yizhan, narrowed his eyes, and asked sharply: "Captain Lu, do you know something but didn't tell me?"
Lu Yizhan was so frightened that he immediately waved his hands: "No, no!"
Cen Mingming stared at Lu Yizhan's face for a while and sneered: "You're the best."
After he finished speaking, Cen Mingming turned around and left. Behind him, Lu Yizhan sighed with mixed feelings. Cen Mingming paused and said, "I will deal with the heresy this time. If you want to follow me, just follow me. Don't cause trouble for me."
Lu Yizhan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, Captain Cen."
The next day, Lu Yizhan and a group of people from the second team led by Cen Mingliang arrived at the high school where the incident happened.
Lu Yizhan sat awkwardly with his knees crossed among a group of members of the Second Team, sweating profusely.
...Many of these people are those who rebelled in the First World Line. Is it really okay for him to stay here?
And... Lu Yizhang secretly glanced at the three people next to Cen Mingming.
Cen Mingming was talking seriously and in a low voice with the three people with his head down, and Lu Yizhan seemed like a world away.
——These three people are the three team members who were executed in the court after being reported by Cen Mingming in the first world line, and they are Cen Mingming’s senior brothers.
Sometimes Lu Yizhan would feel that reincarnation was not all painful. There would always be some very brief moments that gave him the illusion that nothing had happened and that everything had the chance to start over again.
For example, now.
After arriving at the high school, the rest of the team began to skillfully conduct a carpet search for heresy. Today was Sunday, and Lu Yizhan and his team had contacted the school earlier and asked them to clear the area. All the teachers and students had gone home, and the school was empty with no one in sight.
The footsteps at this time sounded very strange.
Lu Yizhan turned around vigilantly. He could hear footsteps coming intermittently from different places in the school. Judging from the friction between the soles of the shoes and the ground, they should be the same pair of shoes. The running sound was a little heavy and the steps were a little big. He must be a heavy person. The footsteps were of almost the same texture every time. Lu Yizhan suspected that it was the sound of the same person running.
but--
Lu Yizhan heard a sharp sound of footsteps above his head. The next second, the sound came from the third floor of the teaching building opposite. He looked down at the heresy detection instrument in his hand. After confirming that the value of the instrument was 0, Lu Yizhan narrowed his eyes.
If his judgment was correct, the heretic here should be 0573, the eyeball eater, then what's with the footsteps?
The heretic value is 0, which means that this guy is most likely not a heretic, but a single person.
A person appeared above his head, ran two steps and then appeared on the opposite side?
Then there is only one possibility.
The moment the footsteps appeared on the second floor again, Lu Yizhan jumped a few times, flipped over, climbed up to the second floor neatly, climbed over the fence and landed steadily.
There was no one on the ground, only a few footprints. Lu Yixun glanced around and said calmly: "Are you a player?"
"You log into the game from different locations in this school. With the coordinates of different locations, you can freely travel around this school."
"Why bother us with footsteps?"
The air in front of Lu Station twisted and a black hole-like gap appeared.
A head wearing monkey headphones popped out from the gap, and then a young man in school uniform walked out with his hands in his pockets. He looked at him and smiled wickedly: "Of course it's because the boss ordered that you must not leave here alive."
"Do you think I only put one heretic in the school?"
Lu Yizhan's pupils shrank.
[System prompt: You have found the (thief) card. I regret to inform you that (thief) has been assigned to the White Six Camp.]
A huge explosion sounded in his ears. Lu Yizhan had no time to think. He jumped down from the building and ran towards where Cen Mingming and the members of the Second Team were.
Behind the twisting eyeball and the food, there was a small toy helicopter floating. The helicopter was rising slowly, and the lower end of the helicopter was continuously dropping miniature toy bombs. The bombs were constantly enlarged during the landing process, and they exploded the moment they hit the ground, with cement and soil fragments flying everywhere.
The moment Lu Yizhan saw the toy helicopter, he almost couldn't control his expression - heresy [0922]!
[Scaled-down bomber]!
The farther this thing is from the ground, the more the process of the bomb falling will be magnified, and the more powerful it will be. If the distance from the ground is enough, the falling bomb will be enough to blow the campus where they are into pieces, and the people inside will not even be able to find the debris.
"Fuck!" Even Lu Yizhan couldn't help but curse.
This thing must have just been released by the [Thief] card. The members of the Second Detachment had previously investigated data that did not contain any information related to Heretic 0922. They were caught off guard and almost killed.
Fortunately, Cen Mingming reacted in time and protected them, but he himself was pierced diagonally through the lung by a steel bar that was blown up, and was nailed to death on the spot. He was covering his mouth and coughing with blood all over his body.
At the same time, a group of eyes slowly rose up behind Cen Mingming. Those eyes did not look at Lu Yizhan, but at Cen Mingming.
If all eyes were looking at Cen Mingming, he would be parasitized directly!!
Lu Yizhan took a deep breath and yelled, "Cen Mingming, close your eyes!!" After that, he closed his eyes, drew out his heavy sword, aimed at the two heretics, raised it high, and swung it down.
[System prompt: Player Lu Yizhan uses the Evil God's Judgment. ]
[The heretic stopped his actions at 0922 and 0573 and was temporarily contained. After using the skill of Judgment of the Evil God, the player's Luyi Station will be in a state of stiffness for seven days.]
Lu Yizhan rushed to Cen Mingming, looked at the eyeball heretic behind Cen Mingming with a cold gaze, and stabbed him fiercely with his heavy sword. After the two heretics stopped moving, Lu Yizhan's mind went blank, he loosened his hand holding the heavy sword, and slowly fell forward.
Cen Mingming, who was stuck on the steel bars, caught him. His mouth was full of blood. He glanced at the unconscious Lu Yizhan, the heavy sword beside him, and the two motionless heretics. He coughed and laughed, "You really are hiding something from me, Captain Lu."
Seven days later.
Lu Yizhan suddenly woke up and sat up from the bed. Beside him, Cen Mingming, who had a bandage on his left eye, was watching him. Seeing that he was awake, he glanced at him with his right eye and said calmly, "You're awake, Captain Lu."
Just as Lu Yizhan was about to ask, Cen Mingming continued as if he was reporting on a job: "All the heretics have been contained. I found something wrong and called for backup. The backup came very quickly. The high school student wanted to sneak attack me after you fell, but he was chased by the backup team and was not caught."
"What's wrong with your left eye?" asked Lu Yizhan.
Cen Mingming touched the bandage on his left eye and said indifferently, "I'm blind. The concrete slab went through it when it was blown over."
"Now that you've finished asking questions, it's my turn to ask questions." Cen Mingming used his eagle-like right eye to examine the Lu Station. "I'm a hunter. What is a hunter?"
Lu Yizhan's scalp tingled: "How did you know?!"
Cen Mingming said calmly: "I have been guarding you for seven days. You had nightmares at night and shouted for seven days not to hunt people."
Lu Yizhan: “…”
Seeing Cen Mingming looking straight at him, Lu Yizhan shook his head, realizing that it was not possible to keep it a secret any longer, so he sighed quietly: "Then I'll leave the choice to you. You can decide whether to join after listening to me."
After Lu Yizhan finished telling everything, Cen Mingming sneered sinisterly: "You think I will call you senior brother? Why don't you dream something else?"
Lu Yizhan: “…”
This person's focus is very strange.
After saying this, Cen Mingming turned his head and looked out the window of Lu Yizhan's ward. He remained silent. When Lu Yizhan, who was lying on the bed, was about to fall asleep, he slowly spoke:
"You said the Hunter Card is something that both you and Bai Liu can fight for?"
Lu Yizhan nodded dazedly: "This is the rule of the game."
"If in some world line, you didn't win me over, and I ended up on Bai Liu's side," Cen Mingming said calmly, "then you can just kill me."
Lu Yizhan was shocked and completely sober: "Why did I kill you?!"
Cen Mingming didn't look at Lu Station. He looked out the window: "Because I feel that being used by such people and being in a camp is disgusting, very disgusting."
"Those who help the evil should also be tortured." Cen Mingming said coldly. He stood up and said, "I will join your camp, Army."
"I will be a qualified card in your hand, an excellent hunter."
After saying that, Cen Mingming closed the door and left without looking back.
Lu Yizhan stared blankly at the door that Cen Mingming had closed, then lay back on the bed, muttering to himself: "Fang Dian..."
“Is this the right choice for me?”
Not surprisingly, the sixth world line still failed.
Lu Yizhan was called back to the temple again.
Bai Liu was still sitting behind the card table, playing with the cards on the stone table carelessly. When he saw Lu Yizhan coming, he smiled at him and said, "Long time no see, prophet."
"In fact, I just met your derivative three minutes ago." Lu Yizhan said slowly, "I killed him."
"Is this the first time you've killed one of my derivatives?" Bai Liu smiled, "It's really different with the help of a hunter, right?"
Lu Yizhan didn't say anything, but a hidden sense of uneasiness was growing in his heart.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and pointed at the cards on the stone table: "Hunters are different from the absolutely righteous people like the Judge. After they know everything, they will definitely actively interfere in the world line."
"But correspondingly, it is difficult for me to interfere with the absolute justice of the Inquisitors. They will not change their beliefs because of the external events I designed. But I can interfere with the Hunters."
"You must protect your hunter's faith." Bai Liu smiled, "Don't let him fall."
Lu Yizhan took a deep breath and looked at Bai Liu straight in the eye: "Don't worry about this."
"As a reward for killing my derivative for the first time." Bai Liu stood up from behind the stone table. He looked at Lu Yizhan with a smile, "I will take you to see the person you want to see."
Lu Yizhan shuddered all over and suddenly looked up at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu lowered his eyelids and smiled faintly: "I know you listen to her very much. No matter how much you miss her in these world lines, you have never tried to find out her news, but now we are outside the world line."
"You can go see her."
Lu Yizhan followed Bai Liu silently onto the steps of the temple.
This was his first time entering this temple, and a shadow of fear lurked in the shadow of every step he took.
The unknown, the unknown is the most frightening thing.
He was afraid of seeing the price of so-called "pain", but he was also afraid of imagining what it would be like when he couldn't see her.
——What on earth could cause Fang Dian so much pain?
"Are you wondering what could make someone like Fang Tuan suffer?" Bai Liu walked slowly in front of him, with a smile in his voice. "I've also wondered what could make a person who is almost like a god suffer?"
Bai Liu walked to the dark pool inside the temple that connected to the seabed. He lowered his eyes and raised his hand. The water in the pool rolled and parted, revealing a wet marble staircase covered with strange green underwater plants. He walked down, and Lu Yizhan followed closely behind him.
There was pitch-black sea water everywhere, and the sound of the surging waves was hollow and deep. Apart from that, there was no sound or light at all. Just being locked up here was an unbearable torture.
Lu Yizhan's heart began to tighten little by little.
He finally saw Fang Dian, who was trapped at the bottom of the sea, hanging by chains with his hands, sitting on the ground with his head hanging and his hair disheveled.
Bai Liu waved his finger lightly, and the seabed was instantly illuminated by a strange hazy white light. A water-patterned wall rose in front of Lu Station, and Bai Liu walked through the water-patterned wall.
Fangdian, who was in the center of the light, slowly raised her head. She looked at Bai Liu who was coming towards her with unfocused eyes and opened her dry lips as if she wanted to say something.
But before he could say anything, Bai Liu chuckled and said, "Captain Fang, I regret to inform you that your team has lost another world line."
"As usual, I will bring your favorite person in this world line to you."
"I remember that in this world you fell in love with a construction worker. You were almost hit by a building site when you passed by, and he saved you. In order to repay him, you often helped him. He soon fell in love with you, but he was worried that he couldn't give you a good life because of his poverty, so he only dared to like you silently. You didn't mind at all, and you confessed to him first and started dating him."
"A week ago, this man knelt on the construction site and put a bunch of roses in his hat and proposed to you, and you said yes."
Bai Liu snapped his fingers, and a man in his twenties and wearing work clothes appeared in front of Fang Dian. The man was a little confused about why he was here, but when he turned around and saw Fang Dian chained to the ground, he suddenly became angry and rushed forward to tear off the chains that trapped Fang Dian.
"Dianmei, how could you..."
"What a pity! He loves you so much, and you love him so much too. You could have been very happy."
Bai Liu laughed: "It's a pity that Lu Station lost the game."
“Bang!”
White six snapped his fingers.
The man who was tearing off Fangdian's chain suddenly burst into gray-white flames. He howled in front of Fangdian and then burned to ashes.
Fang Dian's fists were clenched tightly by the chains. She slowly let the chains pull her shoulders and lowered her head, resting her head on the pile of ashes in front of her, tears dripping bit by bit.
She cried out loudly.
Lu Yizhan stood there motionless, with an expression on his face as if he was stuck in thought, and his eyes were completely blurred.
"This is the price Fang Dian paid." Bai Liu looked at all this calmly, and raised his lips, "I found out."
"Only something like love can make God feel pain."
