Bai Liu slowly curled up the corners of his mouth: "If I'm not mistaken, the puppeteer will come to search for us and attack us. They should also know that the broken mirror fragments are in the passengers' bodies. The puppeteer will be short of people, and he needs to control us to help him search for fragments on the passengers. We obviously can't beat the puppeteer, so my plan is this-"

"——Why don't we seek cooperation from the puppet master, in exchange for letting him control me and Mu Shicheng."

Mu Sicheng listened to it and then flew into a rage: "Bai Liu, what the hell are you talking about!!!"

————————

Zhang Kui played with the deformed diamond-like thing formed by the broken mirror fragments in his hand, and raised his slender eyes sarcastically: "I have twenty here, and Mu Sicheng, who is good at stealing things, should also have 20. There are about 40 in one station, and there are ten stations in total..."

Zhang Kui stopped talking in time. His three puppets were still staring at Zhang Kui who had suddenly stopped talking, as if they hadn't reacted. Zhang Kui couldn't help but sneer at their stupid looks.

He was actually afraid that these guys would discover the problem with the game, so he didn't tell them what happened next.

But Zhang Kui remembered that he had been using this batch of puppets for some time. Except for Li Gou, the intelligence of these three puppets had been almost drained by him. But Li Gou himself was not very intelligent either. It would be strange if this group of idiots could react to the key points of this game.

One life point is exchanged for one fragment, and four hundred fragments will cause the death of four people. Even if all three of Mu Sicheng's men were killed, there would still be one person missing who would need to use the puppets on his side to complete the task.

Zhang Kui never felt sorry for his puppets. Puppets were always consumables to him. He had quite a few spare puppets in the King's Guild. Even if all his puppets were wiped out, the King's Guild would recruit new puppets for him. Therefore, Zhang Kui never felt sorry for his puppets, except for the particularly useful ones.

But even though Zhang Kui's method of using puppets is cruel, there are always people who want to rely on him and be his puppets. After all, the mortality rate of completing the game alone is much higher than that of following Zhang Kui.

"We have identified the key clues. Next, we have to find Bai Liu and his group. We can't just waste your resources." Zhang Kui said in a amiable manner, "I will control them and let them help me search for the fragments. I will use them up."

Li Gou, who had many burns on his body, suddenly had a look in his eyes: "Master, are you going to attack Bai Liu?"

"No." Zhang Kui looked at the deformed and broken mirror "diamond" in his palm, and he slowly raised his lips, "First kill the seventh player who disrupted the game. I am now certain that this seventh player is most likely Du Sanying."

Li Gou was getting more and more confused: "Master, how did you confirm it?"

"It's just speculation. Bai Liu is a player with a luck value of 0." Zhang Kui casually played with the broken mirror in his hand. "According to his low luck value, he should have run into me in the car in the two chases. If there wasn't a player with a high luck value with him, so that he "just happened" to miss me every time, he should have run into me a long time ago."

"After all, my presence in this game is probably the greatest misfortune for Bai Liu."

Zhang Kui smiled reservedly and arrogantly. After he finished speaking, he threw the broken mirror to Li Gou. Li Gou took it in a panic and looked up at Zhang Kui in fear and trepidation: "Master?! Why did you give this to me?!"

"Of course it's because I think highly of you, Li Gou." Zhang Kui hypocritically showed the kind of fake smile that only leaders can have. He patted Li Gou on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of it. This is a big mission for you. Do it well."

If Bai Liu were here, he would definitely recognize that Zhang Kui's smile was a fake smile used by leaders to evade blame.

In fact, Zhang Kui's action of giving the broken mirror to Li Gou and Bai Liu's action of giving the broken mirror to Du Sanying were both for the same purpose - to reduce their own risks of carrying important items and to confuse the public.

Du Sanying and Li Gou are both under the control of Bai Liu and Zhang Kui. Even if they give their skills to each other, it will not have much impact on themselves. They can get them back at any time before the end of the game.

But these two guys with beastly hearts chose a sweet and amiable shell to cover up their sinister intentions.

Bai Liu’s is [This is the trust I give you, Du Sanying].

And Zhang Kui’s is [This is because I value you, Li Gou].

"Let's go now and find out where these three people are hiding." Zhang Kui said as he shook his fingers. The ends of the transparent silk threads sank into the joints of the hands and feet of the three puppets. Zhang Kui lightly flicked the silk threads on his fingers, and the three puppets began to tremble as if they were electrified.

"But before that, I will strengthen you, all puppet players except Liu Huai, strengthen them!"

[System prompt: Player Zhang Kui uses his personal skill (Puppet Strengthening) to sacrifice his puppet's spirit value by half in exchange for doubling the puppet's panel attributes]

[Player Li Gou's personal panel]

[Spirit value: 80 → 40]

[Physical Strength: 251 → 502]

[Agility: 270 → 540]

【Attack: 310→620】

[Resistance: 350→700]

[Comprehensive defense and attack power increased, the total attribute points of the panel exceeded 2000, and he was rated as an A-level player. The player Li Gou's level increased from B to A level]

[Player-only personal panel]

[Spirit value: 82 → 41]

…

[Comprehensive defense and attack power increased, the total attribute points of the panel exceeded 2000, and the player was rated as an A-level player. The player can level up from B to A level]

Li Gou and Fang Ke's eyes lost focus almost instantly, and they stood there with lifeless eyes, as if they were trapped in some kind of maze and could no longer think. They were obviously in pain, and strange and struggling expressions appeared on the puppets' faces. The drop in mental value caused the two puppet players to enter the hallucination stage instantly, and they were obviously suffering in their own hallucinations.

But Zhang Kui didn't care whether the two men were in pain or not. He tentatively lifted the joints of their limbs and made them perform exactly the same movements.

Zhang Kui smiled contentedly, with a look of naked superiority in his eyes. He fiddled with his ten fingers, nonchalantly and joyfully mobilizing his powerful puppets to perform various actions, and said in a arrogant and conceited tone: "Although the decline in mental value will make you lose the ability to think independently, the actions that come out of a fool's brain are also stupid. It is better to use it to exchange for other things."

Liu, the only puppet that was not strengthened, huddled in the corner and trembled. He was so scared that he could hardly speak.

The expression of Zhang Kui appreciating his puppets was like an artist appreciating an outstanding work of art in his hands, a work of art without the brain and thinking ability, and completely obeying his commands. That look made his back chill.

Zhang Kui is a player without any humanity. He enjoys the pleasure of controlling and killing others.

Liu Huai really regretted it. He regretted betraying Mu Sicheng. Although Mu Sicheng's family was not good people and were swindlers, at least they would not use people and then throw them away like Zhang Kui did.

But what's the use of regretting? He has no way out.

Zhang Kui squatted on a chair in the subway. Li Gou and Fang Ke were like dolls without batteries, lying at his feet with empty eyes and limbs spread out. Zhang Kui hooked his finger and said to Liu Huai with a smile: "Come here, I have a task for you. Go to Mu Sicheng and tell him that you betrayed me and want to join them."

Liu Huai swallowed his saliva: "They won't believe me, right? I am your puppet, Master."

"Is it hard to believe that a betrayer betrayed me twice?" Zhang Kuitian put his hands on the chair and sneered. Then he sat down on the chair again, put his fingers crossed and put them under his chin and said, "You said I was inhumane and was ready to endlessly consume your life points to exchange for fragments. You didn't want to die, you wanted to live, so you betrayed me."

"But, but——" Liu Huai was a little flustered, "Even so, they won't accept me so easily, right?! I still have your puppet strings on me! You can control me at any time!"

Zhang Kui stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Liu Huai only felt a sharp pain in his limbs and joints. He screamed and knelt on the ground, holding his elbow. A roll of transparent silk thread stained with blood appeared in Zhang Kui's hand. He shook the blood off it in annoyance: "Okay, I'll take back the puppet thread. You can go."

Liu Huai stood there in a daze. He had never thought that Zhang Kui would be able to take back the [Puppet Thread] so easily. For a moment he didn't know how to react.

Zhang Kui wiped the blood off the puppet thread on Li Gou's body and said slowly, "They will definitely accept you. As I just said, they are short of people. They need expendable players. Even if they see that you have ulterior motives, they will not easily push away you who are sent to them to find fragments."

Liu Huai murmured without saying anything. He took off the puppet headgear from his neck and gently placed it on the seat. He said carefully, "Well, I'll go then, Master."

Before Liu Huai turned around and left anxiously, he heard Zhang Kui's slow voice coming from behind him:

"Liu Huai, do you know how to control someone who might betray you repeatedly?"

Liu Huai's back paused, and his voice trembled a little: "No, I don't know the master."

"That is to not give him any chance to betray you." Zhang Kui suddenly laughed, "Liu Huai, you don't really think I took away all the puppet strings from you, do you? Look down."

Liu Huai lowered his head and was surprised to see a very transparent thread like a fishing line passing through his chest. He turned around and followed the thread all the way to Zhang Kui. The thread that passed through his heart was tied to Zhang Kui's little finger.

Zhang Kui smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a fool like Mu Sicheng, who relies on trust to maintain relationships between people? Liu Huai, if you do anything wrong, I'll kill you."

"I lack everything except self-righteous idiots and puppet players." Zhang Kui slowly withdrew his hand. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Liu Huai who was trembling all over and looking pale. "Unfortunately, you seem to be both of them."

——————

Liu Huai covered his chest with his hands with a pale face as he walked in the swaying train. He might have had the faint thought of betraying Zhang Kui before, but now he no longer had any thoughts of betraying Zhang Kui.

Zhang Kui really would not leave any loopholes in his plan.

Liu Huai didn't think that Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu would be his opponents as the gap in rank was too great. Although Mu Sicheng had outstanding personal skills, his control over people's hearts was far inferior to Zhang Kui, a guy with an IQ of 93 points.

As for Bai Liu, Liu Huai had watched Bai Liu's videos before, and he had to say that this guy was indeed very smart, but compared to Zhang Kui, he was still not smart enough. At least Zhang Kui would not hang out with Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying in a collection-oriented game. One of them was a thief, and the other was a bargain-hunter. They would get nothing if they hung out together.

But Zhang Kui did not underestimate Bai Liu.

Zhang Kui's plan rang in Liu Huai's ears:

"Now, because you need to exchange health points for broken mirrors, this game has become a two-way head-grabbing game. Now I have three heads, so of course I don't count as one."

"Bai Liu has three heads, but since the four of us are tied up, they can't easily snatch them. I think Bai Liu will think we will take the initiative to attack, and set a trap for us to fall into. The purpose of sending you is to test him."

"Because this crappy game requires 400 fragments, I can't possibly consume my own. I need you to tell them because I intended to consume my puppet to obtain the fragments, which caused my puppet to go berserk. We had an internal conflict here, and I am not in a position of absolute protection."

"My puppet manipulation skills are not 100% flawless. When the puppet fights to the death, I will also suffer a certain degree of backlash. So I will temporarily take back the more conspicuous puppet master thread on you. The puppet thread on your heart is invisible to others except you and me. You can tell them that this is the result of your desperate struggle. In order to avoid backlash, I took back the puppet thread on you."

"Du Sanying on their side is an untouchable, and Bai Liu is a guy with a panel value of F. Mu Sicheng is definitely a key consumption target. His spirit value should have been on the edge after two rounds of chase. Although it can be bleached back, I think Bai Liu will stop him."

"Because he needs Mu Sicheng to lower his mental value and enter a berserk state to increase his combat power, Mu Sicheng's mind should not be so clear now. The last time Mu Sicheng was in a berserk state, he was very irritable and impulsive, and killed four of my puppets. I don't think Bai Liu can control him."

"So, before the next train arrives and passengers board the train to chase, I believe that a thief who hates me and is forced into a desperate situation will be tempted to steal our fragments and attack me. Since I am under control, things will be much easier. My puppets are all B-level players without my personal skill enhancements, and they are easy to defeat one by one."

Liu Huai actually didn't quite understand why Zhang Kui made things so complicated.

Because with Zhang Kui's strength, he can definitely defeat the opponent even in a head-on conflict. I don't know why he has to use all these spy tricks and counter-espionage schemes.

But Zhang Kui was somewhat speechless. He couldn't help looking at Liu Huai with that look of looking at an idiot again: "Of course it's to preserve everyone's health. I don't want to consume my own health, nor do I want to consume Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu's. It's definitely better to ambush and defeat them one by one. The loss is small. A head-on conflict will consume too much for everyone. If the total health of everyone drops below 400 after a fight, then we'll all wait to die together."

"Since Bai Liu has been able to drag it out until now, I think he must have reached a cooperative relationship with Mu Sicheng, but this cooperative relationship must be very unstable."

Zhang Kui smiled. He looked at Liu Huai, patted Liu Huai's face with the back of his hand, drooped his eyelids, and spoke in a long tone: "I believe that when Mu Sicheng sees you, Liu Huai, he will inevitably think of his unpleasant cooperative relationship. People have painful memories, especially when their mental values ​​are low. This kind of memory will derive countless hallucinations and drive people crazy. Liu Huai, the only request I give you is to constantly remind him in front of Mu Sicheng that you betrayed him."

After Liu Huai finished his recollections, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. This was caused by Zhang Kui beating him. He did this to make the play more realistic and to portray the feeling of internal strife.

But Liu Huai was still very uneasy. He always felt that Mu Sicheng might not believe him because he had betrayed Mu Sicheng in order to survive.

But Zhang Kui said with a smile in his eyes and in a weird tone, it is precisely because you betrayed Mu Sicheng because you wanted to live that it seems so real that you betrayed me because you wanted to live. Remember, you really want to live, and you really thought about betraying me because you wanted to live, and this is why I chose you.

Liu Huai took a deep breath and continued to move forward. Bloody handprints gradually appeared on his carriage. These were traces left after the previous attack and battle, which meant that a player had appeared here not long ago. Liu Huai realized that he was getting closer and closer to Mu Sicheng and the others, and his heartbeat quickened.

[The train is about to arrive at the station. The next stop is Huangquan Road. Passengers who want to get off please line up next to the door. First come first served. Last come last.——]

The lights in the carriage flickered, and Liu Huai walked to the last carriage. Mu Sicheng leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and Du Sanying squatted next to his broken KartRider with a sad face.

As soon as Liu Huai stepped in, Mu Sicheng immediately opened his monkey paws in vigilance. Liu Huai raised his hands in embarrassment and fear. He said to the stunned Mu Sicheng in a low voice: "Fourth brother, I have come to surrender to you."

Mu Sicheng's face was uncertain, his monkey claws retracted, and he suddenly sneered: "Zhang Kui actually brought you along this time."

"I... Fourth Brother..." Liu Huai didn't dare to look into Mu Sicheng's eyes. He lowered his head and his voice became weaker. "I did it to survive."

"You took the initiative to cut off my hands and gave them to Zhang Kui as a token of your loyalty just to survive?" Mu Sicheng sneered, the red light in his eyes almost dripping blood, "Didn't you join the King's Guild? Is Zhang Kui leading you this time? That's good for you, such a high-level player is willing to lead you, it seems that you are doing well in the King's Guild."

"You would betray Zhang Kui? This is also a trick played by him, right? I won't be fooled by the same trick a second time." Mu Sicheng laughed more and more sarcastically.

Seeing that Mu Sicheng was about to take action, Du Sanying quickly stopped Mu Sicheng, saying that they were still short of people! There was no need to push away the person who was delivered to the door even if he was fake!

Liu Huai told Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying everything that Zhang Kui had asked them to tell him.

Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng looked at each other - what Liu Huai said was similar to what Bai Liu and they analyzed. Zhang Kui sacrificed his own puppets in exchange for the fragments.

"Wait!" Mu Sicheng's eyes darkened slightly. He took out a scale prop doubtfully, and then suddenly exerted force to strangle Liu Huai's throat.

A drop of Liu Huai's blood splashed on the corner of Mu Sicheng's eye, and the red light in his eyes became more and more intense. Liu Huai was strangled by him and couldn't breathe. His limbs were in disarray and his face was red. He begged for help in a hoarse voice: "I didn't lie to you! I really came here to ask for help!!"

Mu Sicheng sneered, his expression became weird and brutal, and his men pressed harder: "Are you telling a lie or not? I have my own criteria for judging."

[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng uses the item (Judge's Scale) on player Liu Huai - Honesty or not, the weight of your conscience]

[(Judge's Scale) can only be used three times per day on a player, and can only be used to determine whether the answer is yes or no. Other overly complex questions cannot determine whether the player is lying.]

"Okay, now I'll ask you questions." Mu Sicheng smiled wickedly, holding Liu Huai, who was struggling, with one hand, and holding a strange-shaped scale with the traditional Chinese characters "誠" on the left and "謊" on the right. "First question, were you sent here by Zhang Kui?"

Liu coughed and looked at the prop in fear. He lied subconsciously: "No, it's not!!"

The balance tilted towards [lie].

Mu Sicheng sneered: "Second question, is Zhang Kui safe now?"

Liu Huai was pinched until tears fell from his eyes. He begged for mercy: "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother! I didn't know you had this prop! Please let me go! You still need me!"

Mu Sicheng remained indifferent, grabbed Liu Huai's neck and slowly tightened his grip: "Answer my question."

"Yes!!!" Liu Huai was almost driven crazy by the feeling of near death, tears streaming down his face, "He is safe now! He is protected by two strengthened puppets!! Although I came here according to his request! Fourth brother, I really didn't come here to hurt you!! I really came here to belong to you!! I really won't betray you like I did before! I will never cut off your hands for Zhang Kui again! He is a lunatic! I came to find your fourth brother because I couldn't live anymore!!"

"Okay, last question--" Mu Sicheng looked at his subordinate Liu Huai who was begging for mercy, and suddenly many hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes. He saw blood oozing from his hands. Mu Sicheng slowly moved his eyes and saw that his shoulder was chopped off, and blood was flowing from this place to his fingers-just like when his arms were chopped off by Liu Huai.

[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng's emotions fluctuate too much, his mental value drops to 60, and he begins to have mild hallucinations! Please pay attention to restore your mental value! ]

Mu Sicheng blinked slowly, blood dripping from his cheek onto Liu Huai's face. He lowered his head expressionlessly: "Okay - the last question, since you said you won't betray me again -"

"Then let me ask you, are you still loyal to Zhang Kui, are you part of his plan, are you still under his control, or have you really betrayed Zhang Kui completely, escaped from his control, and joined our camp——"

Mu Sicheng's eyes remained calm.

Liu Huai's chest was heaving violently, sweat was dripping down his face, and his palms were beginning to feel numb and hot from excessive tension. He had a hunch that if this answer was not what Mu Sicheng wanted, Mu Sicheng would most likely kill him.

Liu Huai had seen this look in Mu Sicheng's eyes before - this was the look that would appear when Mu Sicheng's mental value dropped below the safe value, and in this state, it would be easy for Mu Sicheng to go on a killing spree.

It was in this state that Mu Sicheng killed Zhang Kui's four puppets. However, Liu Huai escaped because he betrayed Mu Sicheng and caused too much stimulation to Mu Sicheng, whose mental value was too low.

"My coming to you is part of Zhang Kui's plan, but I am truly betraying Zhang--" Kui, before he could finish his words, the transparent puppet string in Liu Huai's chest suddenly tightened around his heart.

Because he said that he would completely belong to Mu Sicheng's camp, Zhang Kui wanted to kill him - Liu Huai suddenly realized this, Liu Huai gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, the desire to survive made him say desperately, "I will not betray Zhang Kui."

The balance swayed twice, and finally slowly tipped towards [Lie].

Mu Sicheng slowly released the hand that was strangling Liu Huai's neck, his eyes were strange and mocking: "...It seems that you can't survive with Zhang Kui either. You betrayed Zhang Kui, just like you betrayed me because you couldn't survive."

"You are only loyal to yourself, Liu Huai." Mu Sicheng sneered, "I can use you."

Liu Huai coughed and looked at the small scale in Mu Sicheng's hand with doubt. He really wanted to betray Zhang Kui because Zhang Kui wanted to kill him. Or, this thought never stopped after Zhang Kui made him a puppet...

Did Zhang Kui expect this and knew that Mu Sicheng had the balance tool, so he sent him over...

Liu Huai suddenly shuddered.

Mu Sicheng once again asked Liu Huai about the whole process of his visit. This time Liu Huai did not lie and told Mu Sicheng everything. Mu Sicheng sneered and said, "You want to provoke me to attack him? Even if I really want to attack him, it must be when he has almost got the broken mirror fragments in the later stage. You also want to alienate me and Bai Liu? Tsk, it's really unnecessary."

At this point, Liu Huai suddenly discovered something very strange. He had been here for a while, but he had never seen Bai Liu. He looked around and asked, "Isn't Bai Liu here?"

Du Sanying pursed his face a little awkwardly: "...Well, when we were discussing the plan before, Bai Liu actually wanted to cooperate with the puppeteer, but Mu Sicheng disagreed with this plan, so after Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng had a big quarrel, Bai Liu broke with us and joined Zhang Kui."

Mu Sicheng snorted coldly and turned away: "Do we need someone to separate Bai Liu and I? We can separate on our own!"

Liu Huai: “…”

Liu Huai: “????”

What is this? Who did Bai Liu go to?!

——————

[The train is about to arrive at the station. The next stop is Huangquan Road. Passengers who want to get off please line up next to the door. First come first served. Last come last.——]

Bai Liu walked forward and came to the front of the car. He found Zhang Kui sitting leisurely in his seat. In front of him stood two puppets with empty eyes. They didn't seem surprised to see Bai Liu coming. Instead, they greeted him naturally: "Come on, take a seat. You're here sooner than I thought."

Bai Liu sat opposite Zhang Kui and sighed, "Now that you have sent Liu Huai here, Mu Sicheng is useless to me. I have no choice but to surrender."

"You are a smart person." Zhang Kui smiled meaningfully, "It's just unlucky that you met me, who is even smarter."

Zhang Kui was sitting with his legs crossed and his arms spread out on the back of his seat, a very relaxed and conceited posture. He raised his chin and looked at Bai Liu with a smile that showed he had already won. "This game requires four people to be sacrificed to pass. If you choose to stand against me and fight me, your panel attributes are too poor, and I will definitely win, but your total health points will definitely be consumed ineffectively. After I control you, I will most likely choose to sacrifice you to get 400 health points in exchange for me to pass the game."

"For you, Bai Liu, I think the best plan is to cooperate with me. Although you may be controlled by me, at least I will not sacrifice you easily."

"But Mu Sicheng will definitely not agree to cooperate with me." Zhang Kui smiled, and he sighed in a fake manner as if he was a little regretful. "And you will not easily come to me to seek cooperation. After all, few people want to be controlled by others. You might even want to let Mu Sicheng steal my things. I have no choice but to let Liu Huai persuade you."

The fish Zhang Kui wanted to catch from the beginning to the end was Bai Liu, not Mu Sicheng.

In order to catch the fish of Bai Liu, it is necessary to shake up the cooperative relationship between Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu.

No one can shake the trust of the four teammates more than Liu Huai.

If Mu Sicheng had normal mental state, he might still care about the fact that this was a second-level game and barely maintain his cooperative relationship with Bai Liu. But if Mu Sicheng had abnormal mental state, or with Liu Huai present and constantly reminding him of what happened, he would definitely not be able to control his suspicion and hatred towards his teammates.

Of course, Mu Sicheng can drift his spirit value back to normal, but this is definitely not what Bai Liu wants to see. If Bai Liu chooses to cooperate with Mu Sicheng to the end and stand on the opposite side of Zhang Kui, he needs Mu Sicheng's violence to maintain high combat effectiveness to guard against Zhang Kui.

Bai Liu could certainly put himself into a berserk state and become highly combat-effective, but Zhang Kui felt that Bai Liu would not do so easily.

Because the berserk state is very dangerous, with 8 platforms left, Bai Liu, a player with an F-level panel, has much weaker basic attributes than Mu Sicheng, a player with an A-level panel. Bai Liu in the berserk state is just a fragile high-output character who can easily die.

Zhang Kui's plan is to defeat them one by one, first subdue Bai Liu, and then use Liu Huai to control Mu Sicheng.

As for Du Sanying, just let him die at the appropriate time. Zhang Kui is not interested in Du Sanying, who relies on luck to get to the top and has no real power.

Bai Liu was very frank: "I actually tried to persuade Mu Sicheng to cooperate with you, but not only did he not want to, he also beat me up."

As Bai Liu spoke, he showed Zhang Kui his personal panel. The health bar clearly read [Decreased by 40 points after being attacked by player Mu Sicheng].

In fact, at the beginning Bai Liu used Mu Sicheng as a means of transportation, and Mu Sicheng got angry and punched Bai Liu, causing him to descend. Now Bai Liu took this as one of the evidences of his surrender without blushing or feeling any remorse.

Bai Liu sighed with regret: "My health is only over 20 now. I will never be able to pass the level if I hang out with them. I was hoping that Mu Sicheng could kill you in his berserk state. Didn't he kill your four puppets in his berserk state before? But after I knew about Liu Huai's existence, I completely gave up on cooperating with Mu Sicheng."

Zhang Kui glanced at Bai Liu approvingly: "Because with Liu Huai's presence, Mu Sicheng's violent state will become more unstable, and he will be more inclined to attack his teammates."

"It's too easy for me to die with this little health." Bai Liu spread his hands. "Although I want to win the game, I want to stay alive more, so I came to you for cooperation."

If Mu Sicheng were here, he would definitely scold Bai Liu, a lunatic who only cares about money, for talking nonsense. But Zhang Kui didn't know that Bai Liu was a lunatic who only cares about money, so he smiled with satisfaction. He pulled out a roll of transparent puppet thread, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you also know what my conditions are for cooperating with me. You have to be my puppet."

"Okay." Bai Liu agreed immediately, or he had expected such an outcome. He stroked his chin thoughtfully, "But cooperation is a matter for both parties, right? Zhang Kui, I am your puppet, so you have to show me your sincerity, like what are the benefits of being your puppet?"

Zhang Kui was straightforward: "How do you want me to show my sincerity in cooperation?"

"I have a prop that was stolen by Mu Sicheng. It's called the Mermaid Amulet." Bai Liu's eyelids slowly fell. "This is why I had a quarrel with Mu Sicheng. If possible, I hope you can help me get it back."

"That's it?" Zhang Kui was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect Bai Liu to put forward such a simple condition.

"That's a life-saving prop." Bai Liu rolled his eyes and whispered, with a subtle smile on his lips. "My health is too low. I hope you can snatch it from me before the train starts. That way, at least I'll be safer later. You don't want me to die after you finally get me, right?"

"Okay." Zhang Kui smiled. "I prefer puppets that are willing to do things. Bai Liu, you are so sensible and willing to negotiate with me. Then I will--"

The puppet string in Zhang Kui's hand trembled violently, and the needle-like sharp thread pierced into Bai Liu's bones. The thread was tightly wrapped around Bai Liu's bones for several circles. Bai Liu couldn't help but shuddered because of the pain, and opened his mouth and gasped reflexively.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu has become the puppet of player Zhang Kui]

Zhang Kui slowly pulled up the corners of his mouth, and his usual smile became weird and evil: "——It has come to this, and you actually think you can still negotiate with me, Bai Liu, then I have to teach you a lesson."

[System prompt: Player Zhang Kui used his personal skill (Marionette) on Bai Liu.]

"Now, Bai Liu, take out everything you have and give it to me, especially the weapons." Zhang Kui hooked the thread on his finger, "I will not give you any chance to turn things around."

Bai Liu's movements were stiff, his face still pale with pain, and he opened his system panel with stiff hands, continuously throwing things out.

A snow-white fish bone, some random little things, and an old wallet. Bai Liu's expression suddenly changed when he saw the old wallet being thrown out. This attracted Zhang Kui's attention. He bent down to pick up the old wallet: "What is this? Your personal skill?"

Zhang Kui patted his wallet and sneered, "It's quite shabby." He opened the wallet and saw what was inside. His eyebrows raised. Zhang Kui took out a stack of points banknotes and showed them to Bai Liu with interest, "What is this? A concrete points wallet? You like these messy things, and there are quite a lot of points in it... Let me count, twelve thousand."

"Then I'll accept them all." Zhang Kui said with a smile.

Bai Liu, who had been controlled and whose face was originally bleak, lowered his head and bit his lower lip without saying a word. He seemed to be very aggrieved and didn't know what to say. In the end, he just said stubbornly: "Take it. If you take it, I will consider it as a reward for helping me."

Zhang Kui sneered with an ambiguous tone: "If you want to comfort yourself in this way, that's fine."

But if Zhang Kui lowered his head to look at Bai Liu's expression, he would see that Bai Liu's eyes were calm, and his tightly bitten lower lip slowly curled up into a small arc.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu gives player Zhang Kui 12,000 points to complete the transaction. Player Zhang Kui needs to return the item (Mermaid's Amulet) to player Bai Liu before the train starts again.]
