Xiao Kui ran back along the path she had taken down the mountain without looking back, despite her sister's panicked shouts to stop her.

Under the raging fire, the sound of weapons clashing and the crackling sound of burning wood echoed throughout the mountains and forests.

Xiao Kui covered her mouth and nose, and looked up at the shrine standing at the highest point under the impact of the heat wave and ashes. She took two deep breaths, clenched her fists and continued to run upwards.

Inside the shrine.

Bai Liu held a blood-stained whip in his right hand, and with a cold expression, he pushed open the door of the shrine with two fingers of his left hand.

The heavy wooden door of the shrine slowly opened.

Bai Liu held the whip, and with a smile, he used the sharp bone of the whip in his right hand to poke Tavier's neck, which was heavily entangled by dense silk threads, forcing Tavier to lean back.

The black bone spur pierced into Tawil's thin, fair skin on his neck. Bright red blood flowed down his body, dripping onto Tawil's bloodstained white robe.

Tavel's silver-blue eyes were half-closed weakly. He looked up at Bai Liu standing at the door. His voice was hoarse because his throat was strangled by the whip in Bai Liu's hand: "You are finally here."

"I thought you wouldn't come today."

Bai Liu's eyes stopped at Xie Ta's neck, which was bleeding from the bone spur. He spoke in a calm tone, but the whip in his hand was clenched until his fingertips turned white: "Why did you think I wouldn't come?"

"You spoke to me." Tawil curled his eyes and smiled very lightly. "I thought you left with your prince charming."

His silver-blue eyes sparkled as he stared at Bai Liu intently, his tone very serious, as if he was expecting something: "You come to me now, are you ready to choose me as your Prince Charming?"

"What a wonderful fairy tale." Bai Liu smiled and looked at Bai Liu. The whip in his hand that was stuck on Xie Ta's neck became tighter and tighter. "I know how you made Xie Ta suffer for you."

Bai Liu's playful eyes moved back and forth between Bai Liu and Xie Ta twice, and finally stopped at Xie Ta's bloody face. He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth:

"You trained it, you deliberately made a monster fall in love with you."

“It’s a completely new way of thinking about solving problems.”

Bai Liu smiled, as if exchanging game tips with Bai Liu in a very relaxed scene: "I'm curious about how you did it?"

"--You let such an evil creature that can remember the memories of all world lines and has no humanity or human emotions fall in love with you?"

“Not even God can do this.”

Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked at Bai Liu opposite him with interest: "——Why can you do this?"

Bai Liu did not answer him. Without hesitation, he swung the whip at Bai Liu with his right hand. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand and put it between Bai Liu's whip and Xie Ta's neck. At the moment he bent his palm and grasped Xie Ta's neck, he used his backhand to pull away Bai Liu's black bone whip.

Bai Liu dodged the white bone whip that Bai Liu was swinging at him, with a smile on his face, but no emotion in his eyes. He tightened his right hand and retracted the bone whip that was wrapped around Xie Ta's neck that Bai Liu had pulled away. At the same time, he twisted his wrist inward, and the bone spurs expanded outward even more violently, piercing deeper into Xie Ta's skin.

The white robe around Sheta's neck was completely stained with blood, and the bone spur that pierced deeply into his throat made him unable to make any sound.

"It is recommended not to tug at this kind of barbed bone whip casually." Bai Liu smiled and turned his head to Bai Liu and said, "You will tear your head off directly."

Bai Liu's eyes swept coldly, and a very rare and obvious aggression in him was revealed in his dark eyes. He loosened his right hand that was holding the bone whip, and the moment his hand flipped forward, the bone whip in his hand turned into a sharp dagger, and it passed by Bai Liu's neck, which he had narrowly avoided, at lightning speed, and was about to chop off Bai Liu's head!

A strand of black hair was blown off from Bai Liu's temple and slowly fell to the ground. A few drops of blood fell on the falling hair.

Bai Liu slowly straightened his head, which had been tilted to avoid the attack, and then opened his eyelids. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood dripping from the left side of his face. His eyes gradually became excited: "This is interesting, big brother."

"Let me take a closer look. What interesting skills will I have in the future?"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Liu did not stop at all. He grabbed the black bone whip that was strangling Xie Ta's neck with his left hand, and then used the strength of his body to tear off the black bone whip hanging on Xie Ta's neck. At the same time, he exerted force from his waist, turned over, and kicked Bai Liu's spine hard.

Bai Liu used his shoulder to block Bai Liu's kick, blood oozing from the corner of his smiling mouth. He did not protect himself at all, but quickly pulled the black bone whip that was controlling Xie Ta's neck, and Bai Liu, who had his hand on Xie Ta's neck, was pulled flying.

Bai Liu took advantage of the force to grab Bai Liu's right foot that was stuck on his shoulder and pushed it backwards. The whip then hit Bai Liu's blind spot as he flipped backwards.

A big hole was cut in the wooden floor on the ground by a black bone whip with spurs fully opened. When the wooden floor on both sides of the hole was turned over, a pond could be seen directly below the hole.

The goldfish in the pond are swimming around without any awareness. The reflection of the water on the pond surface and the fireworks reflected in the black night sky are intertwined, making these leisurely swimming goldfish seem to be swimming in the night sky of a summer festival filled with gorgeous fireworks.

Bai Liu half-knelt on one knee beside the big hole, his back straight, his waist less than five centimeters away from a sharp bone spur that was hit and stood upright behind him. He held the black bone whip in one hand, raised his eyes and looked coldly at Bai Liu who was standing on the other side of the big hole.

Bai Liu looked at the black leather gloves that appeared out of thin air in Bai Liu's hands with great interest: "Dagger, gloves, so I have a transformation-type skill weapon?"

"Or..." Bai Liu smiled, "Can I use my own skill weapons to use other people's skill weapons?"

Before he could finish his question, Bai Liu swung the dagger in his hand cleanly and neatly. Bai Liu dodged to the side smoothly, and the dagger that brushed past Bai Liu's neck turned directly in the air and turned into a bottle of poison.

The poison had its cap thrown off during the rotation, and it flowed out into the pool behind Bai Liu.

The pool was instantly dyed a bubbling black, and thick poisonous mist rose into the sky. Bai Liu clearly heard the sound of his life bar rapidly dropping, but he didn't care at all. Instead, the moment the dagger came out, he summoned a white bone whip in his right hand, gripped it tightly, and then swung the bone whip out without any pause.

The bone whip swung along the big hole that Bai Liu had just made, and blew the entire wooden plank where Bai Liu was standing into the sky.

“Pu Tong——!”

Bai Liu heard a clear sound of someone falling into the water. It was obviously Bai Liu who fell into the pond where he had just poured poison mist.

After completing this set of his commonly used combos, Bai Liu stood up, turned sideways and quickly moved in the direction where Xie Ta had just been thrown. At the same time, he glanced at the pond below, and the whip in his hand turned into a gun, shooting rapidly at every bubble.

"Bang bang bang bang-!!"

Bai Liu stood in front of Xie Ta, facing the pond with an indifferent expression. Although there was no movement in the pond, he still did not put down the gun in his hand and continued to aim at the pond vigilantly.

The wooden board under his feet shook slightly. Bai Liu's eyes focused, and he quickly fired six times at the board under his feet. Then he raised his hand to change the magazine and load the gun. Then he lowered his eyes, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the direction of the shaking water waves under the board, and fired six more times indifferently and accurately.

The silver shells fell with a clanking sound.

This continuous range attack was not stopped until the first system prompt sounded in Bai Liu's ears.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu hits player Bai Liu with his skill weapon (Rose Revolver).]

Blood was spreading under the dark water waves. Bai Liu's sight was instantly located at the place where the blood was spreading in the dark pond. A strong aggressiveness was revealed in his pure black eyes, just like a scaleless dragon fish that was angered by its prey. It would not leave any room for the prey that was preparing to fight back or escape. It steadily and accurately opened its huge mouth full of poisonous thorns and fangs again, aimed at the wound of the prey and bit it again.

Bai Liu raised his left hand, his expression calm, his eyes dark as he aimed at the spot where the blood was spreading, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!"

Six clean and crisp shots, emptying the trigger, raising his hand to change the trigger, moving his aiming sight along the moving spot of the blood, moving his shoulder back to relieve the recoil, and then pulling the trigger, another six shots.

“Bang, bang, bang——!! Bang, bang, bang——!!”

Bai Liu heard a system notification tone:

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu hits player Bai Liu with his skill weapon (Rose Revolver). Player Bai Liu's health is decreasing...]

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu used his skill weapon (Rose Revolver) to hit...]

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu...]

After Bai Liu had chased and shot countless emptied magazines, blocking any possible position for Bai Liu to climb up, with silver bullet shells all under his feet, the system prompt finally changed:

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's health points are reset to zero, exit the game.]

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for killing player Bai Liu! ]

Bai Liu's dark eyes stared at the motionless surface of the pond for a while, and the gun in his hand turned over and turned back into a whip.

He raised his hand and swung the whip left and right in the pond. When he touched a heavy corpse, he tensed his wrist, flipped his wrist, and rolled a whip around. He wrapped the whip around the waist of the white corpse at the bottom of the water, pulled it up, swung it out, and dropped it on the wooden board.

Bai Liu's body, with its eyes closed, was thrown onto the wooden floor like a piece of unresponsive rotten meat, which shook the floor twice.

Bai Liu walked up to the corpse, lowered his eyes coldly, and looked at the corpse indifferently as if he was looking at a stone.

Bai Liu's face was gray and bloodless, and there were obvious signs of corrosion from the poison on some parts of his skin, which had peeled off.

Bai Liu hooked his toes and caught the elbows of the corpse, then kicked the corpse over with his ankles, causing it to turn over. The corpse lay face down on the ground with its back up. Bai Liu observed the back of the corpse for a while with his eyes half closed, and his sight slid down from the spine of the corpse and stopped at the center of the waist and back.

Then, Bai Liu, with a calm expression, whipped the body with a sharp move, opening the clothes on the back of the body and exposing the skin on the back of the body. Then he reached out and took out a bottle of poison, preparing to pour it into the bone groove in the center of the back of Bai Liu's body.

But at the moment when he was about to fall, Bai Liu's sleeve was pulled.

"You are..." Xie Ta, who was tied by the silk thread and could only crawl on the ground, gently pulled Bai Liu's sleeve, then slowly raised his head.

Xie Ta's neck was covered with horrible bloody holes from bone spurs, and blood was still oozing out. However, he didn't seem to care about his injuries at all. He just looked at Bai Liu wholeheartedly. He lightly blinked his wet eyelashes and asked in a low voice: "--What are you doing?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and said, "I plan to use poison to corrode his skin, and then pull out his spine."

Xie Ta was silent for a long time, coughed lightly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why did you do this?"

"Xie Ta." Bai Liu squatted down, stretched out his right hand to hold Xie Ta's jaw, lifted his chin, and looked at Xie Ta with a cold and calm look, "You really don't know why I do this?"

"You remember the memories of other world lines, which proves that you are Sheta from other world lines. You have been whipped countless times by this [Bai Liu] under my feet, and by countless [Bai Liu] who look exactly like me in so many world lines."

Bai Liu stared into Xie Ta's silver-blue eyes: "Why didn't you tell me when I tortured you?"

"Why didn't you tell me I was forcing you to develop feelings for someone who looked exactly like the bastard who raped you?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you knew you were in a game and not in the real world? You even knew that I was a player and that I was probably trying to trick you in this way, making you suffer so that you could pass the game?"

Xie Ta's breathing paused slightly, and his eyes became confused, as if he didn't understand what Bai Liu was talking about: "...Is this important?"

“My world is just games.”

Xie Ta's silver-blue eyes completely reflected Bai Liu: "This is the truth for me."

"You are real to me."

Bai Liu fell silent, his fingers curled up around the poison bottle.

Xie Ta's face was stained with blood. He was wearing a tattered white robe. He slowly propped himself up and sat up. He knelt on the ground with blood all over his body and looked at Bai Liu who was squatting down. His tone was serious and earnest:

"It doesn't matter if it's a game to you or if it's just for the sake of completing it."

"Now, can I be your Prince Charming?"

Bai Liu was silent for a long time, his posture changed from squatting to kneeling like Xie Ta, and then he looked straight into Xie Ta's eyes.

At this moment, Bai Liu could clearly see the tension and an indescribable expectation in Xie Ta's silver-blue eyes. He could hear his and Xie Ta's heartbeats gradually speeding up.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The accelerated heartbeats of the two people gradually merged together.

"I don't want a mortal prince charming." Bai Liu lowered his eyes and said, "Will you die?"

Sheta reacted, and he quickly, even a little panicked, answered: "I won't die, I'm a monster!"

Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes and said, "Then let's make a deal."

"You gave me your soul, your life and your love."

"I give you my wishes, my faith and my love."

Shetta said, “Okay.”

He asked seriously, "Is there anything else I need to do for the deal?"

"My transaction requires money as a medium." Bai Liu looked at Xie Ta, pursed his lips, and asked in a light tone, "Close your eyes."

Shetta quickly and obediently closed her eyes.

Bai Liu looked at Xie Ta's bloody face, his eyelids slowly fell, his long eyelashes cast a very light shadow on his face, and his eyes fell on the coin hanging on his chest.

——That was the task manager that Bai Liu entered into the game.

It is also a symbol of these foolish players who are controlled by desire and make wishes to the evil god.

Bai Liu was silent for a long time. He put the coin into his mouth and pressed it under his tongue. He licked it and tasted a cold metal, like rust, or like Xie Ta's blood.

"Are you ready?" Xie Ta closed his eyes, turned to Bai Liu and asked softly.

Before he could finish his question, Bai Liu, who was kneeling on the ground, leaned forward, raised his right hand to cover Xie Ta's eyes, and then closed his eyes.

Their lips met.

"What was that just now?" The blindfolded Xie Ta asked vaguely. He licked the foreign object passed to him by Bai Liu in his mouth and asked softly, "Is it a coin? It makes my heart beat so fast."

"No." Bai Liu said softly, "It's a kiss."
