After this lash of whipping, Bai Liu's stamina bar was completely drained by the high-level item Fishbone. He gasped, his legs went limp, and he half-knelt on the hood of the car, his face pale and his shirt soaked with sweat.
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's physical strength has dropped by 80 due to using the item (Siren's Fishbone). Please replenish your physical strength in time! Avoid running out of physical strength and being unable to move! ]
The passenger who was beaten by Bai Liu roared in pain from his throat. His eyeballs, which were fixed in his eye sockets by a burnt nerve, swayed and turned around immediately, running towards Bai Liu on all fours.
Bai Liu raised his head and drank a bottle of energy supplement. His eyes were calm as he whipped another passenger who was about to attack Mu Sicheng. His voice was hoarse: "The second one, and there are three more."
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu used (Siren's Fishbone) to whip the passenger, the target's hatred value was transferred, he decided to catch Bai Liu...]
Whip after whip, most of the time Bai Liu was shouting for a bottle of energy supplement while whipping the passengers out of the corner of his eye. The rapid depletion and replenishment of his energy made Bai Liu's condition deteriorate visibly.
His face was pale, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and his wrist holding the whip was shaking violently. He could hardly stand in the car and could only rely on the safety belt tied around his ankles to barely stay in the car.
Even in this weak state, like that of a terminally ill patient, Bai Liu still whipped with perfect accuracy, and each whip hit the back of the passenger's hand as he was about to attack Mu Sicheng.
And Bai Liu seemed to want to maintain his judgment, as he whipped at the same location almost every time.
Du Sanying was almost stunned.
Too strong... Is the quality of newcomers so outrageous nowadays? !
Du Sanying really wanted to know why Bai Liu could aim like a sharpshooter, because this guy, although all the attributes on the panel were falling madly, and his physical strength value was repeatedly jumping around 0 for a long time, if it were Du Sanying, he would have been unconscious like a dead dog at this time, but -
——Bai Liu’s attention was focused on Mu Sicheng, without being distracted in the slightest.
"The fifth one." Bai Liu looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, his hair sticking to his forehead, his eyes darker from the sweat, reflecting only Mu Sicheng. He smiled and exhaled, "Go on, Mu Sicheng, the plan is effective, let's continue to implement it."
After he said this, his strength was exhausted again. His legs went limp and he was covered in sweat. He almost slipped off the car. Fortunately, Du Sanying quickly grabbed Bai Liu's ankle and pulled him up.
Bai Liu lay on the hood of the car, gasping for breath while taking another bottle of energy supplement and drinking it.
Du Sanying was driving the KartRider around in the carriage, hanging on the five passengers who were chasing them relentlessly. He looked at Bai Liu who could hardly stand up with worry: "Bai Liu, you are in a very bad condition! Do you want to take a rest?"
"No need, the train is about to leave." Bai Liu gave orders to himself and Mu Sicheng at the same time in a cruel way. He stood up shakily on the hood of the train with a calm look in his eyes. "Go on, Mu Sicheng, don't grab every passenger. Your health will drop too quickly. Try to locate who has the lens inside."
"I don't want to either!" Mu Sicheng was also very angry. If he caught one, he would be burned by the flames and his health would drop by one. There were so many passengers that he couldn't catch every one of them. That would be courting death. "But I can't tell who among them has the lens!"
All the passengers were a charred mass, still burning fiercely. Who the hell could find a few carat-sized broken mirror fragments in it?
"Isn't finding stolen goods what a thief like you is best at?" Bai Liu was actually in the mood to tease Mu Sicheng at this time.
When he spoke, he took his eyes off Mu Sicheng for the first time and quickly looked around among the passengers. The rising flames and drifting ashes greatly affected people's vision, and Bai Liu could not easily determine who had the lenses.
Since he couldn't withdraw his conclusion by starting with the passengers, he would work backwards from the results - Bai Liu's eyes quickly moved to the five passengers following the kart. Among these five passengers, there was one whose broken lens was found by Mu Sicheng. Bai Liu narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
Among the five passengers captured by Mu Sicheng, there was one whose running speed and flame were much slower than the other four. He was wandering around like a headless fly. This was the [passenger] from whom Mu Sicheng had stolen the broken mirror fragments before.
But Bai Liu vaguely remembered that when the broken lens was still on this passenger, this [passenger] moved much faster.
"Mu Sicheng, the weakness of the passengers with broken mirrors is the broken mirrors!" Bai Liu spoke quickly, "The broken mirrors seem to have a bonus effect on these [passengers]. Find the passengers with faster movement speed and more vigorous flames. Can you see who moves faster and whose flames are more vigorous?"
"No!" Mu Sicheng was hanging on a ring with his back pressed against the ceiling of the carriage. He waved the flying ashes in front of him casually and squinted his eyes, trying to distinguish the red and black mass below, but to no avail.
Mu Sicheng coughed, "All I can see here is a huge fire and a bunch of passengers stuck together. I was just blindly grabbing it before!"
As he spoke, Mu Sicheng suddenly hung himself on the hanging ring with his tail, sank sharply into the flames, gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed another passenger.
[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng was burned by the flames, health value -1, spirit value -1]
"Stop, Mu Sicheng, you can't keep grabbing. Your health has dropped too much. You will die easily if you grab again. Moreover, only one out of five you grab is effective, which is 80% effective. It is very likely that your attack will be ineffective this time..." Bai Liu whipped Mu Sicheng almost the moment he pulled out his claws, and drove away the passenger who tried to attack Mu Sicheng.
Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrows and pointed to Bai Liu, indicating that he had stolen another broken mirror fragment. He grinned and interrupted Bai Liu: "Sorry, it works this time."
[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng obtained the broken mirror (2/???)]
Bai Liu quickly raised his head and looked at the person hanging on the ring: "Can you tell?"
"You can tell if you fall into the crowd of passengers." Mu Sicheng wiped the smoke marks on his face, raised his eyebrows at Bai Liu and smiled with a little affirmation, "You shoot very accurately, otherwise I wouldn't dare to do this. If I fall into the crowd to steal things, it's too easy to be killed by the passengers who have locked me with hatred."
"I promise that I can whip you this accurately every time." Bai Liu raised his eyes and smiled, then waved the whip and made a gesture of invitation, "Go on."
Mu Sicheng hung on the ring with his tail, and like a monkey trying to catch the moon, he fell into the sea of fire and the pile of charred corpses again and again. He brushed past the faces of countless passengers who wanted to bite him back because they had locked onto him with hatred.
Sometimes, passengers with big black mouths opened face to face, and the flames spewing from their mouths could burn Mu Sicheng's face. But before Mu Sicheng could feel fear, a snow-white bone whip would surely cut through everything and open the mouth of this vicious [passenger] that was about to bite Mu Sicheng's shoulder.
This was a reckless theft.
In the later stages, Mu Sicheng didn't have to consider anything. He would even steal two, three, four or even more passengers at a time. He didn't have to consider whether these passengers would attack him in return.
Bai Liu was just as he said. He was extremely accurate every time and could always keep Mu Sicheng within the limit of his misdeeds. No matter how many passengers Mu Sicheng stole at a time, Bai Liu could easily steal these passengers and provide Mu Sicheng with a safe environment for stealing.
Bai Liu's extremely reliable performance in fighting monsters gradually focused Mu Sicheng's attention on the matter of [stealing the broken mirror].
Perhaps that was why Mu Sicheng had completely forgotten that the person he had entrusted his life to was an F-rank player who was only participating in the game for the second time.
Every time the player swings the whip, 60% of his physical strength will be consumed, and all the passengers that Mu Sicheng had stolen from are now following Bai Liu's kart, so Mu Sicheng feels the pressure has been reduced, and stealing the broken lenses has become easier and easier.
But correspondingly, on Bai Liu's side, the pressure from Du Sanying suddenly increased a lot.
Du Sanying's KartRider moves very fast and can even drive close to the car wall. It also has a bonus of [Lucky Buff], so even if there are several passengers hitting it head-on, most of them will be missed by this car. But even so, Du Sanying's face turned pale as he drove. There was a long string of charred corpses hanging behind him, some of which were moving so fast that they could be pulled onto the car, but were whipped away by Bai Liu while Du Sanying was screaming.
"Bai, Bai Liu." Du Sanying watched from the corner of his eye as the long string of corpses behind him were chasing after them like strange creatures. Each of them had an extremely ferocious expression and looked at Bai Liu with resentment. The flames from the passengers rolling together became much bigger and burned the rear end of Du Sanying's KartRider. Du Sanying was terrified and stuttered when he spoke: "Bai, Bai Liu, we can't stay here anymore. If we hang more monsters, we're going to flip over!"
"No matter who else's car crashes, you won't." Bai Liu continued to clean up the passengers for Mu Sicheng indifferently, not even looking at Du Sanying, but his tone was praiseworthy, "Believe in yourself, you are 100% lucky."
It was the first time that Du Sanying heard a player in the same game as him say that his luck was 100% in such a flattering tone, but Du Sanying was not happy at all.
Du Sanying, who was steering the wheel, wanted to cry like a baby: "Just because I'm 100% lucky doesn't mean I'm always invincible! Bai Liu, I can also flip over and die! 100% luck can only guarantee that the probability of my death is a little lower, it can't guarantee that I won't die!"
"No!! I can't drive anymore!" Du Sanying's face turned pale. He was almost bitten on the neck by a passenger who attacked from the side. If he hadn't had a strong premonition and subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, he would be dead now. "Bai Liu! I can give you the car. I want to get off!"
Just a moment ago, Du Sanying suddenly had a very strong feeling of misfortune.
Du Sanying has always been an intuitive creature, and his intuition has always been extremely accurate. His intuition has allowed him to avoid countless disasters - generally speaking, having such a premonition means that something very bad is likely to happen to him, and he must run!
"I told you to believe in yourself, Du Sanying." Bai Liu stood in the car. He looked at people with a sidelong look, and there was a sense of coldness. His eyeballs were as black as burning carbon, without a single bit of excess heat. The seemingly gentle smile on his face was even more strange, and it made people feel creepy. Bai Liu smiled and whispered to Du Sanying, "I need you, Du Sanying."
All the hair on Du Sanying's body stood up instantly. He had a premonition of "Danger! Run!". He had never experienced such a strong sense of crisis since he entered the game, and it was from a player. He subconsciously wanted to jump out of the car and escape, but -
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu needs help from player Du Sanying. Player Du Sanying needs to help player Bai Liu. Please ask player Du Sanying to cooperate with all actions of player Bai Liu! ]
Du Sanying collapsed: "!!! When did you control me!!! I put on the [Anti-Control Coat]! After wearing this, even the [Puppet Master] can't control me! Why can you still control me!!"
"I said I never controlled you." Bai Liu coughed weakly, wiped the energy supplement that spilled from his mouth, and smiled, "I'm just a collaborator who asked for your help. Just in case, I used a little trick."
"Keep going." Bai Liu looked at Du Sanying and said, "Du Sanying, if you run away now, Mu Sicheng and I will both die, so you must stay calm, understand?"
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the trembling Du Sanying: "Don't worry, I won't let Mu Sicheng die, and I won't let you die either."
He smiled, and the blood and ashes on his cheeks made this originally kind smile bring out a sense of cruelty: "You are all valuable to me."
————————
"The train is about to start - please line up and get off in order -"
The group of charred corpses went out of the bloody carriage one by one, leaving behind three exhausted people who huddled together.
Du Sanying lay on his back with lifeless eyes and limp limbs in the unrecognizable KartRider. He felt like he was going to foam at the mouth in the next second: "I don't want to drive anymore..."
Mu Sicheng bent one knee and leaned his head back against the car door. He had changed from the state of a capuchin monkey to that of a normal human, but his entire body was charred black. The corners of his mouth, cheekbones, and the skin on the backs of his hands were severely burned, revealing his red flesh. The monkey on the headset seemed to be dying, curled up into a pitiful ball, uttering wailing sounds, with a faint red light in his eyes.
But Bai Liu was in the worst condition among the three.
There was no blood on his body, as white as a mannequin made of snow. He coughed a few times and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth. His mouth was full of blood and dirty fragments, which were wiped away carelessly by Bai Liu. His fingertips slowly played with the diamond-like thing that was condensed from the broken mirror fragments collected by Mu Sicheng.
Repeatedly replenishing and overdrawing physical strength is very exhausting for players. This kind of consumption is a kind of physical consumption, which will cause the health value to decrease, just like the mental value decreases.
A decrease in spirit value means that the player’s mental state is not good, and a decrease in health value means that the player’s physical state is not good.
Mu Sicheng knew the feeling of nausea and dizziness that came from having one's strength drained and then forcibly replenished. It was as if one had been washed in a washing machine for a round, and one's internal organs felt as if they were about to burst. Empty bottles of energy replenishers were scattered all around Bai Liu, and they were all empty bottles. Bai Liu now looked a little absent-minded, making him look like a person with a hangover.
Mu Sicheng simply glanced at the empty bottle at Bai Liu's feet and uttered a sound with an indescribable feeling.
This lunatic drank so many energy supplements that he couldn't even stand steadily after getting off the train. The first thing he did was to ask for his broken lenses.
"Bai Liu, how much health do you have left?" Mu Sicheng asked.
Bai Liu slowly tapped his panel. His wrist couldn't move very fast because of the whip:
[Player Bai Liu's personal panel]
[HP: 21 (decreased after being attacked by the player Mu Sicheng and burned by fire)]
[Physical Strength: 31 (exhausted, recovering)]
[Spirit value: 89 (slightly mutated due to being attacked by a passenger)]
"21." Bai Liu replied to Mu Sicheng, "The last wave took away 10 of my health points. Mu Sicheng, how about your health points?"
Mu Sicheng opened his personal panel and his face instantly darkened:
[Player Mu Sicheng's personal panel]
[HP: 70 (decreases after being burned by flames)]
[Physical Strength: 59 (exhausted, recovering)]
[Spirit value: 61 (slightly mutated due to being attacked by a passenger)]
"Tsk, my health points were taken by 24 points." Mu Sicheng's eyes were dark. "Although I paid attention later, the flames didn't reduce my spirit points much, but my spirit points are still on the edge. I need to drift for a while."
"Don't rush to drift. I can use your low spirit value." Bai Liu said. He continued to click on his panel to check the progress of the monster book and the main task:
[Main Mission: Collect the broken lenses on the last train (20/)]
["The Last Bus Monster Book" refreshed - Exploding Passenger (1/3)]
[Monster Name: Exploding Passenger]
[Features: Extremely fast movement speed (1000 points of movement speed, flame has a bonus effect)]
[Weakness: Broken Mirror (1/3)]
[Attack method: After being burned by the flames on the exploding passenger, both health and mental value will decrease]
"It's not good. I'm in big trouble here..." Bai Liu's expression became more serious.
As soon as these words fell, Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying became nervous. Bai Liu rarely said such things. Usually, when he encountered any difficulties, he would say, "Don't be afraid of any difficulties! The best way to overcome difficulties is to defeat them!" He could be called the contemporary master of Oli. Before, he was so nervous when he got off the car, but he still looked calm and confident of winning. Now he actually said that he encountered a big difficulty!
"What's wrong?" Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying asked in unison with nervous expressions.
"I bought 80 bottles of stamina supplements. I just used up 33 bottles, leaving 47 bottles. But I still have several more platforms to go, and these 47 bottles may not be enough..." Bai Liu's face was extremely sad. "But I just found out that I don't have the money to buy more. I'm poor. This is a big problem."
[System prompt: Bai Liu's account balance is 179 points. The balance is not enough to purchase stamina supplements.]
"I need your help!" Bai Liu looked at Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng eagerly, "Can you give me some points? Thank you, thank you!"
Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng: "..."
Taking advantage of them while asking for money from them, could this guy be any more shameless!
————
【Graveside disco】area.
This area was rarely crowded with people, and almost all of them were flowing into one place. Bai Liu's small TV was filled with viewers, all of whom were looking up at Bai Liu's small TV intently.
The second round of chase started from the passenger just now, no, or the theft, from Mu Sicheng stealing the broken mirror and being attacked, Bai Liu swinging the whip to transfer the hatred, to Du Sanying's collapse and betrayal, to Bai Liu controlling the overall situation, so many things actually happened in just two minutes.
Everyone watched without blinking, holding their breath subconsciously. During this process, more and more viewers came from all directions and silently joined the team looking up at Bai Liu's small TV.
Almost no one spoke. In such a fierce battle, all discussions were meaningless before the result came out. This was a battle led by Bai Liu, a gamble, a duel with an unknown outcome. Before knowing who won, the judgments of these spectators outside the game would be very one-sided.
Only the results of success or failure can evaluate whether Bai Liu's crazy behavior is right or wrong.
And this madman, he controlled the third and fourth players on the Rising Star List, and he succeeded.
Wang Shun, who was standing closest to Bai Liu's small TV, let out a long breath. He had been too nervous and had been breathing very slowly for two minutes. But now, when he took a deep breath, his heart beat faster and his fingertips felt numb.
Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu's still quiet face on the screen in a daze. For a moment, he couldn't find a reasonable word to evaluate this newcomer.
Bai Liu once again refreshed Wang Shun's understanding of him.
Searching for broken mirrors and cracking monster books is a normal game process, but few people can maintain Bai Liu's high level of clarity and almost cruel calmness, and execute decisions without hesitation.
Just like Mu Sicheng's hesitation and Du Sanying's fear, it is difficult for humans to put life and death behind victory in a game that determines life and death. Although the two are linked to some extent, in a fatal situation, few players are willing to give up their lives at all costs to win.
But Bai Liu...this man considered Mu Sicheng's survival rate, Du Sanying's survival rate, and the progress of the game from beginning to end, but the only thing he didn't consider was whether he himself could survive.
——His physical strength was drained and replenished in a few seconds, his body was bleeding due to extreme consumption, his health points were dropping one by one, Bai Liu swung the whip countless times, and in the end he was in very bad condition, he was lying on the car with his ankles hanging by a safety belt and swinging back and forth.
But the accuracy of his whip never decreased from beginning to end, and the first thing Bai Liu did after getting off the car was to grab Mu Sicheng's clothes tightly and ask him to give him the broken mirror fragments.
Bai Liu's crazy and chillingly determined desire for victory shocked Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying in the game, and shocked all the audiences who had seen Bai Liu's performance outside the game. They couldn't help but come to the [Grave Disco] area. They wanted to see from a first-hand perspective how far this newcomer could go.
"This guy is really unscrupulous." Wang Shun moved his numb fingertips, took a deep breath again, lowered his head and opened his points wallet, "You work so hard, it would be too frustrating if you lose because you have no money."
The other audience members also lowered their heads and whispered:
"If this player named Bai Liu can come out alive this time, he will definitely be a great player in the future."
"He only has 21 life points left...but why do I always feel like he can't lose?"
"How horrible... 33 bottles of stamina replenishers in two minutes, isn't this rookie's panel F?! Oh my god, how can he bear it? I have a C-level panel, and if I can't be pumped in one minute and my stamina is fully replenished three times, I will vomit..."
"…I am a viewer of the Du Sanying TV. I have never seen a little parrot fight like that…"
"I came from the Shepherd God's side. I have never seen the Shepherd God being forced into that state..."
"How can a newcomer like Bai Liu be so courageous? Du Sanying, who is ranked third on the Rising Star List, and Mu Sicheng, who is ranked fourth, are completely suppressed by him and are following his orders..."
There was a continuous flow of whispered discussions, exchanges of opinions, and the sound of people tapping their points wallets. Wang Shun turned around to look at the crowd and spectators who had gathered behind him at some point, as well as the impressed and admiring expressions on their faces, and he sighed with mixed feelings and a hint of relief.
Bai Liu is a person who can make a rapid comeback even if he falls into a grave and dances. He relies on his absolute performance.
It's almost on par with Spade, who ranks first on the points list.
[9706 new people liked Bai Liu's TV, 10006 new people collected Bai Liu's TV, 7990 people charged Bai Liu, and the charging points are 12081 points]
[An additional 15,900 people are watching Bai Liu's small TV. You have 99% of the audience in the cemetery disco area. You are the most popular small TV in the cemetery here! ]
[You need 37588 more players to like you, 40854 more players to collect you, and 2643 more points to charge before Bai Liu leaves (grave disco area)]
——————
[System prompt: Player Bai Liu has obtained 12081 points for charging. Do you want to purchase the item? ]
Bai Liu's lips curled slightly: [Great harvest! I want to buy some props]
After selling a lot of scams to the audience, Bai Liu quickly swiped the system store interface while replying to the system in his mind. He seemed to have discovered something, and his fingers finally stopped sliding: [Why are rocket launchers, atomic bombs, fire hydrants, and high-pressure water guns not available for purchase in this game? ]
[System: The game will prohibit players from purchasing items that will significantly disrupt the balance of the game]
[Items that will greatly affect the balance of the game...] Bai Liu narrowed his eyes, [Help me find some bomb and water items that can be purchased]
The system was silent for a second: [Sorry, the player Bai Liu cannot purchase it]
...As expected, none of them work... No wonder the four sincere pastors just resisted instead of trying to buy props to put out the fire on the passengers with water. It turns out that they can't buy it at all...
Bai Liu seemed to have realized something: [It seems that we can only use local materials for bombs and water...]
"Bai Liu, you guessed right. The broken mirror fragments are indeed inside the passenger's body, but your plan is too exhausting for all of us." Mu Sicheng's hoarse voice called back Bai Liu's attention. "I lost 24 health points in one station. I can't make it to the remaining 8 platforms. All in all, I can only make it to 3 platforms."
Mu Sicheng paused for a moment and then said, "Including yourself, Bai Liu, your health is only 21. You can only hold up two platforms at most. We can't collect all the broken mirror fragments."
"Indeed, but I don't intend to keep stealing the broken mirror fragments by consuming your health points." Bai Liu looked at the broken mirror fragments in his hand, and suddenly threw the broken mirror fragments to Du Sanying, who was crouching in the corner to reduce his presence, "Keep the broken mirror fragments, Du Sanying."
Du Sanying hurriedly took the broken mirror and pointed at the tip of his nose with his index finger in astonishment: "Me?! Are you sure you want to give it to me?!"
"I'll give it to you." Bai Liu explained before Mu Sicheng frowned and spoke, "Du Sanying, it's safest for you to hold this thing. No one can take it away from you easily, especially the Puppet Master."
Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with a hint of realization: "What do you want to do now?"
Bai Liu did not directly answer Mu Sicheng's question. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began to write and draw on the ground with his fingers, analyzing the plot of the entire dungeon: "I just went to the mall for a walk. All water and fire-related props in this game have been banned, which means that players cannot use props to put out the flames on the [passenger] at all."
"I guess the system forces players to get a fragment, then be burned by the [passenger], and reduce one health point. This should be the difficulty of this game. In other words, players have to use their health points to collect items in order to pass the level."
Bai Liu dipped his fingertips into the black ash on the ground and wrote two numbers: [700] and [20].
"We have a total of seven players, with a total health value of 700. According to the game's mortality rate of 50 to 80 percent and the equation that one health value is equivalent to one fragment, the total health value of 700 is multiplied by (50%-80%). The number of small fragments in this game should range from [350-560]." Bai Liu wrote the range [350-560] on the ground with his finger.
Bai Liu then circled the number [20] with his finger and continued calmly, "We just collected 20 fragments at one station. The three of us basically occupied half of the carriage, and the four puppeteers were in the other half. So, assuming that the puppeteers collected the same number of fragments as us, the total number of fragments at one station is about 40."
"There are 10 platforms in total, so the total number of lenses should be around 400." Bai Liu pointed at the range [350-560] again, "The number of fragments is within this range. I tend to think that this is most likely the total number of fragments that need to be collected."
"400 fragments means 400 health points will be consumed." Bai Liu's tone was even. "There are two ways to pass the level. The first is that seven people reach a cooperative relationship, and each person takes the initiative to consume 57 health points in exchange for fragments. Everyone survives and the level ends happily. Zhang Kui will not agree to this plan."
"Then the second option is to consume 100 health points of four players in exchange for us passing the game." Bai Liu paused subtly, and his face was filled with that annoying yet confident smile. "I know that you two cooperated with me before because you were forced to do so, but I believe you have also seen my determination not to let you die easily. You probably don't want to be one of the four players consumed, right?"
"Maybe we can actually work together honestly?"
Mu Sicheng sneered: "Can't you control us? Why bother talking about cooperation? Just manipulate us."
"I may not be able to devote my attention to controlling you in the next plan." Bai Liu ignored Mu Sicheng's weirdness and said honestly, "If you don't want to cooperate with me, you can leave now, of course, if you think that you will not be targeted by the puppet master and used to consume the fragments if you are alone."
After Bai Liu finished speaking, a strange silence fell between the three of them. The only sounds they could hear were the wind whistling past as the train moved, the creaking sounds of the train swaying and bumping, and the almost silent breathing of the three people.
Even if Bai Liu used a slightly more euphemistic word like "consumption", it could not conceal the bloody meaning that was about to spread in the game.
After a long pause, Mu Sicheng said expressionlessly, "Tell me about your specific plan."
Du Sanying bit his lower lip, still hesitating.
His luck value would prevent him from becoming one of the [four consumed players] so easily, but following Bai Liu, this person's behavior was too risky, which made Du Sanying subconsciously reject him.
Moreover, his present premonition was very complicated, with misfortune and luck intertwined, making Du Sanying unable to tell whether he should follow Bai Liu, especially since he had been tricked by Bai Liu once before...
Bai Liu seemed to have sensed Du Sanying's thoughts. He turned his head and suddenly smiled, "Du Sanying, you don't think that if you don't cooperate with us, the puppet master will just ignore you and let you go, and then you'll be lucky enough to pass the level after the puppet master, right?"
Du Sanying was stunned by what he said.
"First of all, it takes four players to complete this game. Even if the puppeteer kills me and Mu Sicheng, it's still not enough. Who do you think the puppeteer will choose between sacrificing his own puppet player and killing you?" Bai Liu raised his eyelids and glanced at the pale-faced Du Sanying with a half-smile. "Also, I think the first player the puppeteer will attack will be you."
Du Sanying was frightened by Bai Liu's shouting, and the hair on the back of his neck stood up: "Why me? He has a bigger grudge against you guys!"
"Wrong." Bai Liu shook his index finger and made a "no" gesture. He smiled and said, "The value of Mu Sicheng and I to the puppeteer is much greater than yours."
"One of his purposes for entering this game is to capture me and Mu Sicheng as his puppets, and you are of no use to him. Moreover, your 100% luck is still one of the biggest obstacles for the puppeteer to complete this game. If I were the puppeteer, I would sacrifice you, Du Sanying, first if I had the choice, and then control Mu Sicheng and me. After turning Mu Sicheng and me into his puppets, I would casually sacrifice my three unimportant puppets."
"——Then, after achieving all goals, the puppet master will be fully loaded." Bai Liu smiled in an extremely friendly manner, "What do you think, Du Sanying?"
Du Sanying was silent for a very long time, with his head down, his lips trembling, and his fingers curled up, as if he was thinking about Bai Liu's words.
After taking a look at the frightened Du Sanying, Mu Sicheng turned around and looked at Bai Liu. There was reluctance and a deep hidden darkness in his eyes.
Bai Liu was so familiar with Du Sanying's statement - this was exactly the same as the statement of cooperation that Mu Sicheng gave him before Bai Liu got on the subway!
- First, he creates a common enemy between you and him, and then uses various assumptions to force you into a desperate situation, allowing you to see through his assumptions that not cooperating with him will lead to your own destruction. Finally, he appropriately shows weakness and goodwill to let you see his sincerity and goodwill towards you, and ultimately pulls you into the same camp with him.
[We are all locked by the puppeteer]
[Have you ever thought about the consequences if he controls me? Then you will have five opponents]
[You don't want to fight this kind of group attack type of player alone, right? ]
[I will never let you die, Mu Sicheng, you have to believe me, you are my most valuable card]
His tone is sincere and gentle, his eyes are flawless and pure, and he has almost done the best job of showing weakness and goodwill. He looks like a decent person, but when he takes advantage of others, he is a heartless animal! This guy is so realistic
