Chapter 574: The Drowned Person from the Future



At the same time, Cen Mingming finally reached out his hand, held Bai Liu's hand, and said indifferently: "There is nothing to talk about between us."

"There doesn't need to be too many topics between the executioner and the executed."

Cen Mingming withdrew his hand, turned around and left. Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at Cen Mingming's receding back, with the feeling of being tickled by the Ring of Death still lingering in his palm.

Bai Liu did not yell at anyone like she did before, but watched Cen Mingming go away calmly.

——This person is serious.

He really wanted to kill him.

"Get ready to log in to the game." Bai Liu returned to his team. He said calmly, "Use whatever means necessary to kill Xiao Chou with all your strength."

"yes!"

Everyone claimed that they were, but Mu Sicheng asked in confusion: "Bai Liu, you only told us the focus of our siege, but you haven't told us who the focus of the other side's siege is?"

Bai Liu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw all the team members looking straight at him, he paused: "I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you after we enter the game."

"It can't be you?!" Mu Sicheng was a little nervous, "Damn!"

"No." Tang Er shook his head firmly, "Bai Liu will be the safest person in this copy."

"Because Xiao Chou couldn't shoot him."

"I think so too." Liu Jiayi thought carefully and answered, "I asked Phoebe, and she said Daniel likes Bai Liu very much, to the point that he is jealous of all the team members around Bai Liu."

"——According to this line of thought, the people around Bai Liu are more likely to be sniped by Xiao Chou."

Even though they heard such dangerous news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

"That's good." Mu Ke smiled softly. It was rare for him to smile so sincerely. "If we don't shoot at Bai Liu, we can fight with peace of mind."

"I have reservations about this. After all, there's not only Xiao Chou on the other side, but also the Executioner." Bai Liu said calmly as he walked towards the login entrance on the other side of the big screen. "Stay alert and enter the game first."

The moment everyone was about to log into the game, the playful expressions on their faces disappeared and became extremely serious.

Mu Sicheng kept breathing in and out, and the relaxed and boastful expression just now was no longer visible. His hands were so stiff from nervousness that he could hardly move. Mu Ke clutched the dagger, lowered his eyes, and walked with slightly heavier footsteps than usual. Liu Jiayi repeatedly opened the system panel, confirming his healing skills with a serious expression.

Everyone felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from the skills of Little Ugly Daniel.

...Even if he was swallowed up by Cen Mingming's [Well of Sinners], the worst result would be that the golden medal of immunity from death would be ineffective and he would die. However, as long as he accumulated enough points and his soul existed, he would have a chance to be resurrected. But if he was hit by the soul-crushing gun, there would be no room for maneuver.

Even the game cannot save a player whose soul has been shattered.

Tang Erda was very clear about this.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly loosened his fists which had been clenched all the way and were beginning to go numb, trying to calm his chaotic mind.

...Daniel was actually in the same team as Cen Mingming. This completely overturned his cognition. Although each world line had different turning points, there had never been such a big fluctuation.

This change is comparable to that of a hunter joining Bai Liu's team.

Is it a coincidence? Is it the butterfly effect caused by him joining the Bai Liu team? Why is Cen Mingming in the same team as Daniel? What is he doing?

But it is useless to think about these things now. The most urgent thing is to defeat the opponent so that we can find the answers to these questions.

Tang Er opened his deep blue eyes, staring at Bai Liu's back as he walked into the entrance, and tightened his grip on the gun in his hand.

——This time, he would never let his tactician touch the bullet in front of him.

[…The game is loading…]

[System prompt: Both players log in to the game "The Drowned Man from the Future"]

[(Deer Hunter) VS (Wandering Circus), the five-person team competition officially begins. ]

Bai Liu opened his eyes. He was suspended in a deep and boundless dark universe. To be more precise, he was wearing a space suit with a safety connector on his waist. He was suspended not far from a space station. To his side he could see a huge spaceship connected to the space station.

And around and behind him, this vast and silent space was not the universe he had seen in books or picture albums before, but a universe composed of many Earths, orbiting this huge spaceship according to a certain law. There were no meteorite belts, no star spheres of different shapes, only one thing - the Earth shrouded in a halo of light.

——It was exactly the same world line in the shape of a light ball that Bai Liu had shown him before.

Behind these "Earths" are scattered, broken star halos, all of which are slightly silver-blue. Looking directly at them for a long time makes people feel dizzy and very uncomfortable, as if they have sunk into a deep sea and are drowning.

Bai Liu soon discovered that staring directly at these silver-blue halos for a long time would reduce one's mental state. He squinted his eyes - this familiar halo reminded him of a certain god.

[System prompt: You are a player who has jumped the world line and come to the outside of the world line. ]

[God is pleased with your growth and welcomes your arrival. He gives you his supreme masterpiece - (game system).]

[Activate the main mission: Please board the spaceship, find the key on the spaceship, control the spaceship, and fly to the center of the world line intersection - where the temple is located.]

"...Please return to the hatch." A mechanical announcement came from the radio inside Bai Liu's space suit. "The oxygen is running out. Please return to the hatch."

Bai Liu turned his helmet and looked through the transparent window structure to see that the cabin door connected to the end of the safety line was moving slowly. He grasped the safety line, pulled it inwards, and floated lightly to the cabin door and shrank in.

The cabin door closed, and a mechanical voice came from the top: "Scanning, adjusting the environment, starting the gravity and air systems, simulating the living environment of organisms, please do not take off your space suit..."

"Simulation completed, please go inside."

A burst of white mist rose from the bottom, and the feeling of floating on Bai Liu's body disappeared instantly. A gravitational force pulling his feet appeared, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared. He fell to the ground, and another hatch opened in front of him. Bai Liu walked towards the interior of the space station. The landing cabin at the back closed, and what appeared in front of Bai Liu was the interior of an entire precision-operated spacecraft.

Looking straight ahead, there is a whole metallic mesh corridor, where you can see various robotic arms in operation. A robotic arm places something in a grid onto another assembly line, and another robotic arm puts a stamp on it - [Transportation Target: 0616 World Line Reality].

[Transport: Dry Rose Graft (heresy)]

Bai Liu slowly unrolled his helmet and hung it aside. He walked into the large factory-like spacecraft and looked down at the things being produced on each assembly line.

【Transportation target: 0408 world line (game).】

[Transportation: Flame Torch (Prop)]

[Transportation object: underwater bubbles (props)]

“Bai Liu——!” From far away, the sound of Mu Sicheng running could be heard. He was running breathlessly, as if he was afraid that Bai Liu would touch something on the assembly line. He shouted, “Don’t touch those things!”

"I won't touch it." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng who ran in front of him and raised his eyebrows, "Have you touched it?"

Mu Sicheng's face had marks from being attacked by the mechanical arm, and there were scratches on both sides of his face. He grimaced and said, "I bumped into it when I was running too fast."

"The robotic arm here can attack people. I originally thought it was a monster from a monster book, and I fought with it to trigger the monster book, but it turned out not to be a monster. It was just a robotic arm."

"There's no need to trigger the monster book in this instance." Bai Liu turned his gaze away from the products on the assembly line and said calmly, "This entire spaceship is the backend of the system."

"Every box we see is a monster."

"System...backstage?!" Mu Sicheng was shocked. "You mean this place is the backstage of the system?!"

"Then why are we logged in?!"

Bai Liu quickly realized something was wrong. He turned to look at Mu Sicheng and said, "Didn't you receive the system prompt?"

"The background introduction here is [system backend]."

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu in confusion: "No..."

"We didn't receive any system prompts. They just told us to work with you to find the key, go to the top floor, and then let you take control of the spaceship."

"It is clear that I want you to accompany me to the top floor, right?" Bai Liu's tone was surprisingly calm. "Only I can complete this task, and none of you can, right?"

Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu and nodded in a daze: "...Yes."

"It is clear that you will accompany [Player Bai Liu] to the top floor and take control of the spaceship."

He had never seen Bai Liu's face look so...ugly.

"What about you?" Bai Liu stared at Mu Sicheng, "What roles have you been assigned in this game?"

Mu Sicheng also noticed something was wrong from Bai Liu's attitude. He opened his system panel and showed it to Bai Liu: "This is it."

And the moment Bai Liu saw Mu Sicheng's identity on the panel, his pupils contracted.

[System prompt: Mu Sicheng was stripped of his player status after jumping out of the world line]

【Re-verify your identity. 】

[Real identity: 0658 World Line Transport Product, Humanoid Heretic, No. 0004——]

【——Capuchin thief Maki Shicheng. 】

[System spaceship backstage soul storage location - first floor.]

Bai Liu's breathing stagnated.

——On this spaceship, in the background of this system, not only heretics, monsters and props to all world lines are produced and transported, but also the souls of all players who have entered this game are stored.

Liu Jiayi, Mu Sicheng, Tang Erda, Mu Ke, Lu Yizhang... He owns half of these people's souls.

This system has its other half behind the scenes.

[System warm reminder: When you own this spaceship, you own the system itself. ]

[Possess the last ticket to become an evil god. 】

…This is not a game at all.

Bai Liu slowly turned his head and looked outside the transparent window at the 658 [Earths] orbiting the spaceship. His dark pupils reflected the silver-blue space - these were 658 world lines.

——He landed on the reality leading to the ultimate [future].
