After the announcement of the result of the killer sequence forfeit doubles match, the whole audience was shocked.
The doubles match is an advantage event for the killer sequence. At this time when they have just lost the singles match and need the audience's support the most, they give up another event in which they usually have an advantage.
This is a very unexpected choice.
This means that Killer Sequence has lost two games in a row to the new guild, the Wandering Circus.
There were whispers in the audience, and Mu Sicheng, who was sitting on a wooden bench ready to go on stage, was also confused: "What, I don't have to play in the doubles match?"
Bai Liu rolled up his collar and adjusted the bandage on his wrist. He hummed calmly, "Go directly to the team competition."
"President." Seeing Bai Liu's calm face, Wang Shun couldn't help but say something more, "Although the ace player Spade from the killer sequence is not in this game, and the core tactician Nishen is seriously injured, it seems that we have a greater chance of winning."
"But I personally think," Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, but still said, "they still have a bigger chance of winning than us."
Bai Liu glanced over and asked, "Do you have any new data to tell me?"
Wang Shun scratched his face and smiled bitterly: "It can't be considered new data. It's just that I have been analyzing the performances of major star teams, especially their team competitions, so I have a better understanding of their team competition win-loss rates."
"They are missing a spade, and it looks like they have lost a big player, but it's not the case."
Wang Shun opened the system panel: "Spades has always been a lone player in the team competition, and his coordination with the other four people has never been high. I believe you all know this. In the game pool, Spades often trains alone."
"At this time, the person training with the other four members of the Killer Sequence was actually another person. He was a member of the Killer Sequence's reserve team, named Zhou Gong."
Wang Shun clicked on the panel and a photo popped up. It was of a young boy with a delicate face and a few pimples on his forehead.
"It doesn't look big, why is it called [Duke of Zhou]?" Mu Sicheng couldn't help but complain.
"It is said that it is related to skills." Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu with a complicated look. "I heard a rumor that Spade and the team's coordination was not high in the early stage of the playoffs. Nishen was prepared to let [Zhou Gong] be a fixed match for team competitions."
"Because he and the other four guys work very well together."
"But in the end, Spade finally caught up, so I didn't change." Wang Shun took a deep breath, "But this already explains the problem."
"This shows that in the eyes of the tactician Nishen, the role of [Zhou Gong] in team competitions is even greater than that of Spade."
Bai Liu glanced at the photo and said, "The player who replaced Spade in the team match should be him. Is there any other news about him?"
"No, he rarely appears on the field, so he doesn't have a golden ticket to immortality." Wang Shun shook his head, "I didn't get any other information about him. The only thing I know is that he seems to have an unusual relationship with Liao Ke, another member of the killer sequence."
Bai Liu asked back: "What do you mean by unusual?"
Wang Shun said: "[Zhou Gong] and Liao Ke seem to be players of the same skill set. He calls Liao Ke "teacher."
"That means that Nishen will have two control players in this game?" Liu Jiayi frowned. "Is he going to play a long-range attack and defense battle?"
"Oh, right." Tang Erda seemed to have remembered something. He leaned over to Bai Liu's ear and asked in a serious tone, "Did you get Hei Tao's soul in the previous game? Then can you use his panel?"
"Not completely." Bai Liu opened his system panel and looked down at the Soul Currency data on it. "I have to wait until he fully realizes who he is before I can use his panel."
The last soul coin on his system panel showed Tawil with his eyes closed. He was lying in a white baptismal font with his hands on his chest, holding the coin hanging on his heart.
——That was the coin Bai Liu gave him.
Killer sequence party.
Nishen patted the acne-faced boy on the shoulder and said calmly: "Duke Zhou, Bai Liu will be in your hands in the next game."
Zhou Gong took a deep breath, raised his head, and his eyes were firm: "Leave it to me, Captain!"
"Under the guidance of my teacher, I have been preparing for today's battle against Bai Liu for a long time!"
Liao Ke also nodded. He looked at Nishen with a complicated look in his eyes: "We have been preparing for ten years."
"We won't lose, Captain."
The host raised his hand and pointed to the middle, shouting passionately: "Both teams, please come on stage!"
"Let's go." Nishen picked up his uniform jacket and put it on with one hand, his eyes clear and determined, "Let's go fight my biggest rival."
"Let's go." Bai Liu stood up, tightened his gloves, raised his eyes, and said calmly, "Let's go fight my best friend."
"This is a life-or-death battle. The loser's league career will end here!" The host raised his left hand high and slammed it down. "Let's look forward to this year's dark horse, the Wandering Circus, continuing to make great strides, or our strongest combination, the Killer Sequence, continuing to maintain their championship glory!"
"Please come forward and shake hands, tacticians from both sides!"
Bai Liu and Ni Shen walked onto the stage, approaching each other step by step, with calm and natural expressions on their faces, as if this was not a crucial final, but an ordinary game that they played every day.
Nishen looked at Bai Liu, smiled, and stretched out his hand: "I finally came here to play games with you."
Bai Liu looked down at the hand that Nishen stretched out. He hummed, stretched out his hand as well, and suddenly said, "We have been playing all kinds of messed up games for almost ten years, right?"
Nishen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled in understanding and hummed, "Almost ten years."
The two people were holding hands, and the atmosphere should have been tense and ready to explode, but the two people knew each other too well, and they could not be wary of each other, nor could they be tense.
——It’s as if I instinctively believe that the other person won’t hurt me, so this is just a game.
"You are a prophet." Bai Liu raised his eyes and asked abruptly, "Have you seen the final outcome of the game between you and me?"
Nishen was silent for a long time. He looked down at his and Bai Liu's clasped hands and answered softly, "No."
Bai Liu asked: "Why?"
"Because I'm afraid." Nishen raised his head with a smile. He scratched his face and sighed as if he was a little embarrassed. "I'm a very timid person. When I'm afraid of the future, I won't predict it."
Bai Liu continued to ask calmly: "What are you afraid of in the future? Afraid that I won, afraid that I didn't die as you wished?"
"Don't make me sound so cold." Nishen looked at Bai Liu. He smiled happily, but his eyes were full of light as if he was about to shed tears. "I have watched you grow up for ten years. I know that in your heart, I am your best friend."
"But you are also my last friend."
Bai Liu's breathing paused.
Nishen stepped forward and hugged Bai Liu's shoulders with one hand. He closed his eyes and whispered in Bai Liu's ear:
"I am afraid of both possible outcomes of the game in the future."
"I'm afraid of you losing, and I'm also afraid of myself losing."
The host shouted: "The game officially begins!"
"Both teams please log in to the game."
Nishen and Bai Liu released their clasped hands, they turned around and left without any reluctance, walking farther and farther away with their backs to each other, neither of them looked back, they walked straight towards their own team with a straight gaze.
——Towards your own [future].
