The mirrored water-patterned wall reflects Tawil and Spade on both sides.
The countless threads on Tavel and Spade flew upward, were stretched out, and extended to the depths of the universe. These threads expanded without limit, flowing through a distant door.
Behind the door was fourteen-year-old Bai Liu sitting on a chair and Bai Liu hugging him. The silk thread passed through the door just below Bai Liu's chair and was tied to his wrists and ankles.
The heavy silk threads wrapped Bai Liu tightly. Bai Liu stroked the heavy silk threads that fell on Bai Liu's shoulders and said with a chuckle:
"The suffering of the sacrifices and servants will eventually be offered to the gods. The more the sacrifices and servants struggle, the more suffering the gods will suffer."
“Only God is the most miserable creature.”
"Are you right?" Bai Liu's hand passed through the silk thread, brushed away the silk thread hanging on Bai Liu's face, held his face and said softly, "This look is so pitiful, but so perfect."
"There is no better heir than you."
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Liu's dark eyes, which were devoid of any light, and raised the corners of his mouth: "If you were a god, who would you choose to be your beloved sacrifice?"
"Is it necessary to choose?" Bai Liu suddenly spoke up. He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Liu through the silk thread. "The sacrifice placed before me, the soul that offered love to me, has there only been one from the beginning to the end, right?"
[System warning: Player Bai Liu's spirit value has returned to zero, and the rage panel has been activated! ]
Bai Liu grabbed the silk thread with his right hand and pulled it towards himself. Bai Liu, who was also entangled by the silk thread, was pulled and took a step towards Bai Liu. The two of them stepped into the void at the same time.
"I really can't fool you." Bai Liu smiled at Bai Liu as he fell, "You are too sensitive to the love and pain you have received."
"You are the most perfect mirror I have ever seen."
Bai Liu's hand passed through the overflowing silk threads and touched Bai Liu's dark eyes. He whispered in a daze, "I can clearly see what I have in your eyes."
"What I have..."
The falling white willow hair spread out upwards, with strands of hair and transparent threads flying past the corners of his eyes. His eyes calmly reflected everything in the universe as he stared directly at Bai Liu, but there was no reflection of Bai Liu's shadow, only a door shining with a silver-blue halo.
"It's just a door without a key."
Bai Liu smiled and snapped his fingers. A door appeared right below them and opened to them. He and Bai Liu were entangled by the silk threads and fell into the door.
"Bai Liu, where do you think the key to the door is?"
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu has triggered a plot point and entered "Evil God Festival·Act 3"]
The fire spread everywhere and screams were heard from the shrine engulfed in flames.
Inside the shrine.
Bai Liu instantly returned to the timeline of five years ago. He looked at Bai Liu opposite him, with a strange silver-blue color in his eyes. Then he swung the whip towards Bai Liu's face with a clean and crisp movement.
The whip hit the pond below the shrine and cracked the bottom of the pond. The water flowed down the cracks, revealing a desolate bottom.
In the middle of the pool lay Tawil, blindfolded with a silk thread. His clothes were soaked through. He curled up at the bottom of the pool, coughing weakly, his right hand tightly grasping the coin that Bai Liu had given him.
Bai Liu jumped into the pool without hesitation and ran towards Tavel.
The black bone whip fell in front of Bai Liu, and bone spurs flew out. Bai Liu dodged it by jumping back swiftly, and blocked it with the whip.
The whips were entangled with each other, and Bai Liu and Bai Liu grabbed the handles in almost exactly the same movements, pulling the whips towards themselves.
Bai Liu looked up at Bai Liu, who looked back at him with a half-smile: "Although I am indeed using a weak body now, and you have forced yourself to burst to the limit, it is not that easy for you to defeat me now."
As soon as Bai Liu finished speaking, Bai Liu simply let go of the whips that were biting at each other. His right hand turned into a monkey's paw, and his eyes looked outward coldly.
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu uses player Mu Sicheng's burst skill (Thief Stealth) - Super full speed, the stamina bar is completely depleted]
In almost the blink of an eye, Bai Liu appeared in front of Bai Liu. He swung his long arm, and the monkey claws with sharp fingertips grabbed Bai Liu's neck fiercely. Bai Liu quickly moved to the side, but Bai Liu's monkey claws grew a section in the air and hooked the inverted cross pendant hanging on Bai Liu's neck, and pulled it out fiercely!
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows, squatted down quickly to let the pendant fall back to his neck, and at the same time swung the whip with his backhand to wrap around it. The bone spur stuck into Bai Liu's wrist, trying to throw him off.
Bai Liu turned his wrist and followed closely, using his monkey claws to reach for Bai Liu's throat.
"That's a pretty good reaction." Bai Liu stepped back and pointed at the inverted cross pendant in front of his chest with a smile. "When did you guess that this body used this pendant, rather than the so-called wish, to summon me to come?"
Bai Liu's eyes were cold and fierce. He didn't talk to Bai Liu at all. He raised his hand and attacked Bai Liu's left hand. His target was obvious, which was the reverse cross pendant.
"Well, it seems you won't tell me." Bai Liu smiled and asked thoughtfully, "Then I'll have to guess it myself."
"Is it because you found that the level of wish-making here cannot reach the god level at all, and you have successfully used the inverted cross hanging as a token to summon Tawil in reality as a believer, right?"
"But unfortunately." Bai Liu's eyes were scattered. He raised his hand and grabbed the monkey's paw that Bai Liu was about to hit him. He laughed, "This hanging disappeared after the fall because Spade completely destroyed Tavel."
Bai Liu's chest rose and fell slightly. His wrists, which were held by Bai Liu, were full of blood holes caused by bone spurs, and blood was now dripping down.
Bai Liu smiled and said, "With your current strength, you are still a little bit unlucky to snatch the reverse cross from me."
"But unfortunately, your luck seems to be..."
"Go to hell, Bai Liu!" A sharp female roar came from behind Bai Liu, and at the same time, a dagger pierced through Bai Liu's chest.
The force of the dagger's piercing thrust pushed Bai Liu's body a little closer to Bai Liu, and this point just allowed Bai Liu to stretch out his monkey claws and hook the inverted cross pendant that was hanging out in front of Bai Liu's heart.
Bai Liu grabbed the reverse cross pendant and pulled it out. The next second, the smile on Bai Liu's face deepened. He whipped away Beiyuan Xiaokui who was behind him and was trying her best to thrust the dagger into his body. The long whip in his hand turned into a poker.
The edge of the poker flashed with a cold light and slashed towards Bai Liu's right wrist which was holding the reverse cross pendant!
Bai Liu's right hand fell off and blood gushed out.
Xiao Kui was hit by the whip and fell down after hitting the pillar. She knelt on the ground and gulped down a mouthful of black blood.
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu switches to player Liu Jiayi's system panel and uses personal skill (antidote) on himself]
Bai Liu directly threw out a bottle of antidote to interrupt Bai Liu's attempt to grab the falling inverted cross pendant. The antidote flipped and poured in the air, landing on Bai Liu's severed right hand. Bai Liu's right hand grew back instantly, and then he raised his hand and whipped the bottle of antidote, breaking the bottle.
Bai Liu's hand that was holding the reverse cross pendant was blown away by Bai Liu's whip.
After briefly cutting off connection with the inverted cross, Bai Liu's movements obviously slowed down, but he still reacted extremely quickly. At a speed almost invisible to Bai Liu's naked eyes, he used his fingers to hook back the inverted cross pendant that was shaken away by Bai Liu.
At the moment when he held the inverted cross pendant, Bai Liu paused, raised his head with a low laugh, and stretched and loosened his right hand.
——A coin-shaped pendant fell from his hand and swung twice like a pendulum.
Tavier, who was covered with wounds, coughed and opened his hand - the coins were no longer inside, but the inverted cross pendant on Bai Liu's body.
[System warning: The token item (inverted cross pendant) used by player Bai Liu to summon the evil god has disappeared. The evil god is about to leave the game instance.]
"It's really interesting." Bai Liu's body gradually turned pale, like a real corpse, but he was still smiling, looking at Bai Liu with an interested look, as if he was looking at some creature that had never existed before, "It's really interesting."
"At that moment, you seized the opportunity and joined forces with the other two to replace the inverted cross pendant in my hand."
"You actually placed the key to victory on an uncertain chip, and you helped the other party in order to get them to help you."
Bai Liu looked at the paralyzed Xiao Kui in the corner: "——Just like the last game."
He raised the corner of his mouth and moved his gaze to the blood-soaked Bai Liu: "I don't know when you had this simple idea of "good deeds will be rewarded"?"
"Are you planning to defeat me with things like 'good guys will definitely defeat bad guys' and 'justice will eventually triumph over evil'?"
"Friendly reminder." Bai Liu smiled, "The last person who had this idea never beat me."
"I really can't beat you now." Bai Liu, who was hit against the pillar by Bai Liu, slowly raised his head. His voice was hoarse but still clear. "I don't believe in good deeds being rewarded."
"As far as I know, most of the time, bad people in this world live better than good people."
"You make me even more curious. Why did you choose to do this?" Bai Liu smiled. "Since you and I have the same understanding, you can't possibly put the chance of defeating me on an NPC girl."
"Because I defeated you once." Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu calmly, "I'm not doing a good deed."
"I just repeated the process of how I beat you last time when I couldn't think of any other way."
Bai Liu was silent. He clapped his hands in sudden realization and said, "Because you helped Yuan Guang last time and you beat me by accident, this time you chose to verify whether this method is feasible again."
“That’s really interesting.”
Bai Liu smiled and looked at Bai Liu: "You have been getting the negative feedback I designed for you, which is [Good deeds will be punished with evil]. If you help others, you will get bad retribution."
“But you only need to help someone once, and the positive feedback you receive from them will start to change you.”
"Bai Liu, you even make me start to doubt whether I am a good kid at heart."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing you next time and seeing what you'll look like."
[System prompt: The evil god leaves the player Bai Liu's body]
Bai Liu smiled as the skin on his face corroded and peeled off piece by piece. The moment Bai Liu's body closed his eyes and fell down, Bai Liu also knelt down at the same time.
He held on to the floor with his face pale, and took two deep breaths before he managed to stand up.
While Bai Liu was treating himself with the antidote, he staggered towards Tavel in the pool.
He paused beside Tawil for a moment, then bent over and lifted Tawil up horizontally.
When Bai Liu picked him up, Tavel, who was blindfolded by the silk thread, hugged Bai Liu's shoulders in a daze and called his name softly: "...Bai Liu?"
"Hold my shoulders firmly." Bai Liu took a deep breath, changed his hand and hugged Tavel tightly with one hand, then carried the unconscious Xiao Kui on his back. He said calmly, "The task that bastard Bai Liu left for us is not over yet."
"The people from the Yuchuan family are waiting outside now."
"I'll take you out of here first."
