All the illusions shattered in front of Bai Liu like broken lenses. Bai Liu, who died in various strange ways, turned into ashes in the illusion like a burning photo.

Bai Liu slowly opened his unfocused eyes.

Everyone held their breath and subconsciously took a step back. Du Sanying huddled in a corner, looking at Bai Liu with lifeless eyes. He couldn't help swallowing and took a step back nervously.

Du Sanying now had a very strange premonition. Bai Liu made the hair on the back of his neck stand up, but at the same time, it made his heart beat faster with excitement.

"What's going on now..." Du Sanying muttered to himself, "Is there a new monster here, or..."

Mu Sicheng's pitch-black monkey paw was dragged out of the car door. His monkey paw gently moved on the door railing with slight difficulty, as if trying to stop himself from leaving. The car door slowly closed, and only a pair of Mu Sicheng's empty white eyes that seemed to be unwilling were revealed in the gap.

The next second, Bai Liu moved.

He stepped on the surface of the carriage at an incredibly fast speed. The steel walls of the carriage were dented by Bai Liu's steps. Bai Liu appeared on the door where Mu Sicheng was about to be dragged away almost in the blink of an eye. Bai Liu had a calm expression and stepped on the gap between the doors with great force. One second before Mu Sicheng's hand was completely dragged out of the carriage, he stepped on both sides of the door frame with both feet to hold up the carriage door that was about to close.

Bai Liu exhaled a breath. He grabbed both sides of the door with both hands and pulled it outwards with such force that his shirt stood up against his shoulder blades. The glass door of the carriage made a sharp "click" sound and then exploded into countless pieces with a "bang".

The heavy carriage door was opened with bare hands by the skinny-looking Bai Liu in a twisted posture.

"Shit..." Du Sanying was stunned, "Did Bai Liu evolve into King Kong Barbie?!"

The passenger who was dragging Mu Sicheng outside the door and the thief brother stopped at the same time. They felt threatened by Bai Liu who opened the door. The thief brother roared fiercely and raised his flaming fist to hit Bai Liu.

Bai Liu moved so fast that only his shadow could be seen. He dodged to the side, then bent down like flowing water and dragged Mu Sicheng in from below. Then he kicked the thief brother away.

This completely infuriated the thief brother. He punched the ground with flames all over his body. The entire moving carriage was suddenly engulfed in fire and was nailed to the spot by the thief brother with great force.

Zhang Kui was completely stunned. He called out tentatively, "Bai Liu?! Are you crazy?"

Bai Liu turned around and glanced at him, and answered him in a very natural manner and expression: "Don't control me, I'm awake, you release the puppet strings and catch Mu Sicheng."

Bai Liu tried to throw Mu Sicheng into another carriage and to Zhang Kui, who stood in front of the thief brother. The thief brother was furious at Bai Liu, but did not continue to attack Bai Liu. Instead, he gave up Bai Liu who was standing in front of him without hesitation and turned back to attack Mu Sicheng. His fist, burning with flames, smashed towards Mu Sicheng who was thrown into the air by Bai Liu.

The thief brother's target was Mu Sicheng from the beginning to the end. When Bai Liu reacted, the thief brother punched Mu Sicheng fiercely who was thrown away by Bai Liu. Bai Liu leaned sideways and forcibly pulled Mu Sicheng's collar to throw him away, then turned around to block the blow for Mu Sicheng. Blood spurted out of Bai Liu's mouth and dripped onto Mu Sicheng's pale face. His right hand, which was burned black, suddenly moved.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu's health points are reduced to 6! ]

"Tsk." Bai Liu wiped the blood from his mouth. He turned over to avoid another attack from the thief brother. He panted and suddenly smiled at Mu Sicheng who was paralyzed behind him. "You did a good job. No wonder the thief brother wanted to drag you away. It turns out that you stole his broken mirror fragments. The hatred value is locked on you."

In Mu Sicheng's tightly clenched right paw was a piece of broken mirror about the size of his heart. This man had been unconscious for a long time, but he had been holding it in his hand and his thief brother had not taken it out.

This was also part of Bai Liu's plan, stealing the broken mirror fragments, which Mu Sicheng had always remembered.

Bai Liu said, and turned over and kicked the thief brother out again. The thief roared and tried to break the door open to get in the car. Bai Liu and the thief brother wrestled back and forth for a while. When the thief brother was furious and ready to use the fire attack again, Bai Liu coldly ordered the group of people who were stunned: "Come and help me close the door, as long as the car leaves!"

A group of people then hurriedly came over to push the door that was torn open by Bai Liu. After barely withstanding the last punch from the thief brother who had become much weaker after losing the broken mirror on his chest, the battered train finally drove away slowly and creakingly.

Everyone was exhausted.

Zhang Kui and his three puppets leaned against the door and stared at Bai Liu in a daze. Du Sanying sat on the chair with his tongue hanging out, sweating like a dog. Bai Liu walked to the corner and squatted. He had also reached his limit. The state of mental collapse was very exhausting for him. Bai Liu leaned back against the battered wall of the car, his chest rising and falling slightly. He was adjusting his breathing.

He bought two bottles of spirit bleach and two bottles of physical recovery. He drank one bottle of spirit bleach and one bottle of physical recovery himself, and gave Mu Sicheng two bottles. Bai Liu's method of pouring the spirit into him was very rough. Mu Sicheng was almost drunk to death by Bai Liu halfway through drinking. He coughed and woke up. Bai Liu sat next to him and handed him the bottles: "Drink them yourself. By the way, these two bottles together cost 1700 points. I need to charge a 10% handling fee to buy them for you. The total is 1870 points. Thank you for your patronage."

After saying that, Bai Liu stretched out his hand to Mu Sicheng very righteously, meaning - give me the money quickly.

Mu Sicheng, who had just escaped death and regained his sanity, said: "..."

Mu Sicheng silently transferred 1870 points to Bai Liu. His hand froze when he felt the blood on his face. It was the blood that Bai Liu spat out in his face when he was punched in the face for saving him.

Bai Liu had not mentioned to him that he had taken a punch for him, but Mu Sicheng did vaguely see Bai Liu trying to block the punch in front of him. Bai Liu, such a heartless person, did a good deed for him without leaving his name... This made Mu Sicheng feel a little uncomfortable. He turned his head away and pretended to casually give Bai Liu the broken mirror fragments he had been holding all the way: "Here, take it."

Bai Liu took it naturally without asking Mu Sicheng why he gave it to him. Everything happened so naturally.

Mu Sicheng still couldn't hold back, he pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "Bai Liu, you actually came to save me at that time, I thought you didn't care about me, I didn't expect you still have a conscience."

"It has nothing to do with whether I have a conscience or not. If we are just using our relationship, I can ignore you and I can pass the level smoothly with less trouble." Bai Liu said casually. He wiped the blood from his mouth and said as if he didn't care. "But we are in a cooperative relationship, and we have already agreed. I said I won't let you die, so I won't let you die. This is a deal."

Mu Sicheng sneered in a daze: "Transaction? What transaction?"

"It was a one-point deal." Bai Liu was still drinking the mental bleach, recalling, "When we reached a cooperation agreement, you gave me one point. Don't you remember?"

Mu Sicheng was silent for a very long time. He lowered his head as if he was recalling a lot of things, but also as if he was recalling nothing.

Mu Sicheng's dark red eyes flickered, then calmed down and went out. He suddenly snorted and laughed: "It really is a calculated score...Bai Liu, you are really a weird person."

"You're not the first person to say that about me." Bai Liu said, looking up and drinking a gulp of mental bleach. "I don't think you'll be the last one either."

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu uses the spirit bleach to restore the spirit value to 60]

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu has obtained the large pieces of mirror fragments carried by (the thief brothers) (1 large piece = 20 small pieces), as well as the fragments in the hands of player Zhang Kui, a total of 100 pieces of mirror fragments. The progress of the collection task has reached 1/4, triggering the total number of fragments that need to be collected——]

[System prompt: Collect broken mirror fragments (100/400)]

[Refresh of "The Last Train Monster Book" - Thief Brothers (2/3)]

[Monster Name: Thief Brothers (Brother)]

[Features: Extremely strong and tall, moves very fast, can use a large-scale attack once every minute (1400 points of movement speed, fire has a bonus effect, likes to use fists to make the opponent obey when angry, extremely strong attack power)]

[Weakness: Broken Heart Mirror (1/3)]

[Attack method: Rage Hammer, Flame Impact (Because the important broken mirror fragment on the chest was stolen by the player, the thief brother became weaker uncontrollably, and the power of the attack and the speed of movement were greatly weakened. During the confrontation, the player's survival rate increased)]

[System warning: Player Bai Liu's health is only 6 points left! He is on the verge of death! Please pay attention to self-protection! ]

Bai Liu closed his eyes, leaned back against the carriage, and finally let out a long, long breath, with a tired smile after victory and a rare little humane pride: "--Everyone survived, and there are still seven platforms left."

Mu Sicheng was silent for a while, then he also laughed: "Well, we all survived, thanks to your crazy plan."

Yes, that's right, Bai Liu's initial plan was that incredible plan one -

——He wants everyone to survive.

Bai Liu, this psychopath, wants everyone to be controlled by him and survive.

This is the most cost-effective way to play this life-consuming game.

Bai Liu would not waste a single bit of anyone's life. This extreme greed made Mu Sicheng believe him and believe that Bai Liu would not let himself die easily.

Five minutes ago.

As soon as Bai Liu said that he wanted to cooperate with the puppeteer, Mu Sicheng flew into a rage: "Who the hell are you going to cooperate with?! The puppeteer?!"

"We must cooperate." Bai Liu said calmly, "Or rather, not cooperate. I must control everyone by myself to ensure the most efficient mobilization of health points."

"Because our total health is too low. I only have 21, you only have over 70, and Du Sanying has full. But even so, we only have over 100 health points. And after the attack, the puppeteer has only 370 health points at most, minus 20 points of health points for exchanging for fragments and 10 points of health points for testing. Our total health points are only over 600, which is too low in a game that requires 400 health points to pass."

"This is equivalent to one of us having died invisibly." Bai Liu said calmly, "We have killed a player without even realizing it."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but complain: "Most of the health points were lost by you! You lost more than 70 by yourself!"

"Oh, really?" Bai Liu quickly changed the subject, pretending he hadn't heard anything, and continued, "And if the total number of fragments is 400, and the current collection estimate is 40, then there are still 360 health points we need to lose."

Bai Liu's tone suddenly became serious: "But there is another very important point here, that is, we have passed two stations, but our monster book illustrations have only refreshed one page."

Bai Liu opened his system's "Monster Book" panel and pointed at it, "And the monster book of "The Last Train to Explosion" has three pages, which means there are at least two monsters we haven't encountered yet."

Mu Sicheng's face darkened. "If we calculate according to the game progress, the current progress has exceeded 20%. Usually new monsters will appear at this time."

Bai Liu nodded and agreed with Mu Sicheng: "According to the general nature of the game, I think the monsters that appear at this time should be more difficult to deal with than [Exploding Passenger]."

"It will be even harder for us to get the mirror fragments from this new monster. We know that we are likely to lose 360 ​​health points, and we still need to fight two unknown and stronger monsters. The current 600 minus 360, even if all the dead are from the puppeteer's side, we will only have two and a half people left."

Bai Liu spread his hands and said, "Do you think we have a higher chance of passing the level or being wiped out?"

Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying both paused.

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu first and said, "So what do you mean?"

Bai Liu said calmly: "What I mean is to keep everyone alive first and enhance their combat effectiveness."

Du Sanying was a little confused: "But didn't you say before that it was impossible for everyone to survive?"

Bai Liu said: "I was speaking from Zhang Kui's perspective. If he controls the overall situation, it would be impossible for everyone to survive, because we need their strength to fight monsters and protect us, so we need them to survive. But they don't need the strength of weaklings like us to fight monsters. Our value to him is limited, so if the new monsters are difficult to deal with, he can just throw us out in order to pass the level."

Du Sanying was even more confused: "Then why should we cooperate with the puppet master? Isn't that just letting him control us?"

Bai Liu's mouth curled slightly: "Yes, we want him to think that he controls all of us."

Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng were both stunned.

"If I were Zhang Kui, I would not confront us head-on, because that would increase their health loss. In order to reduce the health loss, it is best to disperse us one by one, and then subdue us one by one. For someone like me who is profit-seeking and in a weak position, he should take advantage of it and cut off my retreat. And my retreat is obviously Mu Sicheng, a player with a strong panel." Bai Liu said and turned to look at Mu Sicheng.

"As for a player like Mu Sicheng who has a strong panel attribute, if I were Zhang Kui, I would probably play it darkly and not engage in direct confrontation. I would first attack your mind. This game has a setting for the spirit value. I would try every means to lower your spirit value first, and then control you or sacrifice you while you are unconscious."

Hearing Bai Liu's calm tone saying that he was playing a trick on himself, Mu Sicheng's mouth twitched.

Mu Sicheng crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "Then you still want to seek cooperation from Zhang Kui? He may sacrifice us after controlling us. How can you keep everyone alive after cooperating with Zhang Kui?"

"He controls everyone, and I control him through [cooperation]." Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Sicheng, "It's that simple."

Mu Sicheng sneered and retorted: "How do you control him? What do you rely on to make him cooperate with you?"

Bai Liu raised his eyes and looked directly at Mu Sicheng: "Depend on you, Mu Sicheng, you will do something very risky, and there is a high probability that you will die, but I can use this to control Zhang Kui."

Mu Sicheng was stunned.

"But even if you only have a little life, I will keep you alive." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng with a calm but powerful look, "Mu Sicheng, you are my most valuable card. I promise that as long as you don't deviate from my plan, no matter what, I will ensure your survival."

The plan that Bai Liu finally proposed was full of instability and variables.

Mu Sicheng didn't even know what this guy's personal skills were, nor did he know whether the "Cooperation" personal skill that Bai Liu mentioned could be stronger than the puppeteer's "Puppet Thread" and could control the opponent.

But at that moment, Mu Sicheng was stared at by Bai Liu, as if he was convinced by Bai Liu uncontrollably. He agreed to Bai Liu's gambling and crazy plan.

Mu Sicheng looked at his dazed self reflected in Bai Liu's eyes without reservation, and recalled how Bai Liu whipped him with a whip again and again, exhausting his whole body to attract the hatred of monsters for him.

This guy is a madman. He never backs down or escapes from anything. There were several times when Bai Liu almost fell off the car but he never took his eyes off Mu Sicheng. Just like Bai Liu himself said, in order to ensure your survival, I will not miss any whip.

Liu Huai back then also played such a role, attracting hatred for the thief Mu Sicheng, or in other words, acting as a scout.

Liu Huai is a person who is very suitable and good at doing this kind of lookout work, but Mu Sicheng feels that if Liu Huai had worked with him until today, in the previous situation of stealing the monster mirror fragments, Liu Huai might have failed, because he would not be like Bai Liu, a madman, who completely disregarded himself to save him.

Bai Liu told Mu Sicheng the key to the whole plan without reservation - the role and function of the (Mermaid Amulet). He told Mu Sicheng that as long as you use this prop, I will completely become a puppet of [Zhang Kui] and the plan will fail.

Mu Sicheng was silent for a moment, then sneered: "That's what you told me? Aren't you afraid that I will betray you and really use it?"

Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng very quietly. His eyes were very dark, so when he slightly raised his head to look at people, people were reflected in Bai Liu's eyes as clearly as in a mirror. It gave you the illusion that Bai Liu, a scheming man, trusted you wholeheartedly.

Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng in a very soft voice: "Do you know how to use it?"

Mu Sicheng closed his eyes slightly. He was silent for a long time before answering: "Bai Liu, I am not sure that I will not use the mermaid amulet when my spirit value is less than 10. People's desire to survive will make people do many strange things, including violating cooperation and betraying others."

After saying this, Mu Sicheng paused. Bai Liu did not urge him, but waited quietly for Mu Sicheng's answer in the sound of the moving train.

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath and said, "But if I really didn't use the item (Mermaid's Amulet), then it means that I have maintained my sanity when my spirit value is less than 10, just as you, a lunatic, requested."

"If you hadn't used the Mermaid Amulet, Mu Sicheng," Bai Liu said, "I would have saved you as long as I was alive."

————————

Small TV wall in the central lobby.

Except for Bai Liu, the player who unfortunately fell into the [Graveside Disco Area], almost all the players in "Last Train to Explosion" have boarded the promotion position in the central hall. Even Li Gou has got a [Central Hall Edge Promotion Position]. Zhang Kui, Du San, Ying Mu and Si Cheng have been hanging in good recommendation positions for a long time.

At present, Zhang Kui's promotion position is the best. He was originally in the [Central Hall Multiplayer Area Popular Promotion Position], but when Zhang Kui controlled Bai Liu, the likes and recommendations of Zhang Kui's small TV exploded, and he successfully rushed into the [Central Hall Core Promotion Position].

But the situation of Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying was not so good, because after these two were controlled by Bai Liu, the audience felt that it was not so refreshing to watch, and began to slowly flow to Bai Liu's small TV, and the promotion position declined slightly.

Zhang Kui successfully triggered a wave of rewards by controlling Bai Liu, becoming the first player of "Last Train to Explosion" to enter the [Core Promotion Position].

The audience of Zhang Kui TV was also very excited:

"Zhang Kui did well this time! As expected of a player with an intelligence score of 93! He successfully controlled the situation!"

"Let me do the math. Zhang Kui controls Bai Liu, and Bai Liu controls Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying. Shocking! So, does that mean everyone is controlled by Zhang Kui?"

"I cried for Xiao Zhang. You have waited for such a long time and finally waited until today! You have been chasing the Shepherd God for such a long time, and today you finally took him down with the help of others!"

"I am dying of laughter. Today I finally saw the finale of the love-hate relationship between Zhang Kui and Mu Sicheng. I thought that Bai Liu, a third party, would intervene, but it turns out that Bai Liu is no match for Zhang Kui. The difference in status and strength is too great!!

The audience of Zhang Kui's TV was discussing with great interest, but suddenly one of them seemed to notice something was wrong: "That's not right. What's going on? Zhang Kui's performance is so good. Logically, the audience of Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng's TVs should have moved over. Why are they all heading to Bai Liu's TV?"
