Sinner in the well.

The old wallet started to heat up again. Bai Liu leaned over to get it, but was whipped away by Bai Liuyi. He stepped on Bai Liu's shoulders and pushed Bai Liu to the bottom of the well. He looked down at Bai Liu's expression and raised his eyebrows with interest:

"Let me guess, is that water from the bottom of the well or your tears on your face?"

The soul banknotes in the old wallet burned to embers and went out silently in the shallow water at the bottom of the well. Bai Liu closed her eyes, and a tear slid down from her left eye, falling into the water at the bottom of the well along with the ashes.

"People cry because of emotions, right?" Bai Liu smiled gently and kindly, "This is the answer you gave me ten years ago."

"In you, feelings seem to be something valuable, but at this moment, I only see that feelings make you weak, make you afraid, and make you painful--"

“You only spent 210 points to buy them, but you paid for much more than that.”

"——This is already an unresolved deal, Bai Liu."

Bai Liu pulled out a bone whip and pushed Bai Liu back. He raised his head, his hair spread out during the fight, with water dripping down the ends.

Bai Liu smiled and tilted his head: "A look full of murderous intent."

"I very much encourage you to kill me, but before that--"

Bai Liu also pulled out a black bone whip. He chuckled and looked sideways at the white bone whip in Bai Liu's hand: "You can't kill the God of Death with that kind of thing and weak emotions."

The bone whip came out of his sleeve and shot out from the well water like an arrow straight at Bai Liumianmen. Bai Liu dodged by leaning to the side. Bai Liu concentrated and shook his hand to stab back. The bone whip that rushed towards him was like a boomerang and brushed back. The sharp tail pierced through Bai Liu's shoulder.

Blood spurted out and Bai Liu was shaken by the blow, but he just stood there for a moment and nonchalantly pulled out the bone whip that was stuck in his shoulder, smiling with more satisfaction.

"Has it reached the point where you can hurt me with this kind of thing?" Bai Liu chuckled, his eyebrows curved, "You really are worthy of being the successor I chose."

After Bai Liu pulled out the bone whip, his wounds were still bleeding, but they healed quickly.

"But I still have to remind you that this is the system backend. Outside the world line is already the realm of God."

"All mortals are as fragile as ants. They can be turned into ashes with just a word or a thought."

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the ashes seeping out of the old wallet:

"You can't kill me. Rather, it's beyond my expectation that you can hurt me with such a simple weapon in this place. How do you humans say it?"

"——Can the power of a mortal be compared to that of a god?"

Bai Liu seemed to find this sentence very interesting and read it out with a smile:

"Interesting point of view, but I regret to tell you that this set of ideas cannot be applied to the evil gods."

"In this world, the evil god is the collection of all human desires. No human can overcome his own desires, so no human can defeat the evil god. So unless you are willing to take on the identity of the new evil god, you cannot leave here with human power. Then you can only watch them outside to protect you--"

"——died one after another."

Bai Liu half-closed his eyes and stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, whose turn is it now?"

"It seems to be Liu Jiayi and Tang Er fighting?"

Liu Jiayi panickedly covered Bai Liu's chest and raised her head: "Bai Liu's body has become hard!"

"He's become like a statue!"

Because the soul is too far away, this is what happens when the body and soul are disconnected!

Tang Erda gritted his teeth and drew his gun: "I will go and surround Cen Mingming and make him release his soul."

——Cen Mingming cannot be killed. If he is directly cleared out of the game, no matter whether Bai Liu’s soul in the Sinner’s Well is taken out of the game or the Sinner’s Well remains in the space on the airship, something will happen to Bai Liu!

"Xiao Chou..." Liu Jiayi grabbed Tang Erda, her hands and voice were shaking, but she tried her best to keep calm, "We need to lead Xiao Chou away from Cen Mingming, otherwise when we take Bai Liu's body over to receive the soul, the outer ring of Bai Liu's gloves can reset Xiao Chou's skills, and he can shoot again."

"...I'll go and distract Xiao Chou, and you bring Cen Mingliang over here."

Seeing Tang Erda quickly opened his mouth and was about to veto his agreement, Liu Jiayi took a deep breath and explained calmly: "I am not strong enough to lead Bai Liu to move, nor can I take on the main attack mission against Cen Mingming, but I can still do the roving mission of leading Xiao Chou away."

"Besides, Bai Liu is unconscious now. I am the second tactician in the team. As the main attacker, you should obey my orders."

Tang Er gritted his teeth and said, "...but..."

"No buts!" Liu Jiayi looked up, tears glistening in her gray eyes, but her expression had calmed down. "We have to act in an emergency. There is no better way now. We can only do this for now. Xiao Chou has a 15-minute skill CD. As long as you keep him away from Bai Liu, Xiao Chou's skills cannot be reset and I will be fine. As long as you take Bai Liu's soul out from Cen Mingming, everything will be over."

"I believe you can do this, Captain Tang."

Tang Erda's head buzzed when Liu Jiayi called him Captain Tang - Liu Jiayi had always been dissatisfied with him because of what he had done before, just like he disliked a relative he didn't like very much. He never called him uncle or used a honorific title. When he was in a good mood, he called him Tang Erda, and when he was in a bad mood, he called him Big Sha Ge or Big Guy.

This was the first time the little girl called him Captain Tang.

Liu Jiayi's voice began to tremble. She held Tang Erda's wrist with both hands, her palms cold: "I will believe in you just like Bai Liu believes in you!"

"...and if Daniel gets close to Bai Liu while you're fighting Cen Mingming, his skills will inevitably reset." She shuddered, took a deep breath, and stood up. "I'll prepare my poison skills and kill myself in time to get out of the game. You don't have to worry about me."

"I'm not as stubborn as Mu Sicheng or Mu Ke, so, so..."

Liu Jiayi clenched her fists. She raised her hands and rubbed her eyes vigorously. Her voice was vicious, as if she was cursing someone, but it sounded like she was crying: "--So stupid! You didn't even leave yourself any way out in order to save Bai Liu!"

Tang Erda finally agreed to Liu Jiayi's tactics. He silently carried Bai Liu on his back and tied him up with a bandage, otherwise this increasingly stiff body would fall off.

"As soon as I go out, I will quickly use the ultimate skill of Poison Swamp to control Xiao Chou, and you seize the opportunity to take Cen Mingming away." Liu Jiayi explained the tactics with composure, "I will try my best to delay Xiao Chou's movement, but when I can't delay him, I will use the poison skill on myself and commit suicide to leave the game."

"When the time comes, you should retreat immediately and don't fight for too long." Liu Jiayi's tone was warning, "Because I can't do that either. Without my protection, it's easy for something to go wrong. So I'll commit suicide and you'll have to retreat."

"You have to know how to protect yourself, okay?"

Tang Erda nodded silently.

Liu Jiayi closed her eyes and tried to relax her tense body: "Although this is the only chance, surviving is the most important thing."

"As a tactician, I hate it when people try to do things beyond their capabilities and then die in front of me. You understand me, right?"

"Let's go!"

They returned to the first floor.

The moment the elevator door opened, Cen Mingming seemed to be arguing angrily with Daniel, but Liu Jiayi's mind was blank and she was completely unable to hear what the two were communicating.

Although she was blind, her hearing was always the best. She could easily hear every word in the conversation at this distance. Bai Liu even joked with her that when her eyesight got better, she would have a natural advantage in taking the English listening test in high school.

My grades will definitely be better than his, who is a poor English learner.

At that time, she responded proudly as a matter of course, and answered rather contemptuously - Of course, the score is at least twice as much as yours, Bai Liu.

Bai Liu would just look at her with a half-smile and say - sometimes my English score is only over 40 points, you scored twice as much?

She would say speechlessly that you are such a waste, were you sleeping during the English test?

Bai Liu said with a smile, Maybe.

Now Bai Liu was really asleep behind her, but she couldn't laugh at all.

Is the sleeping Bai Liu so scary?

Liu Jiayi's eyes were dim and dull. The moment she stepped into the elevator, she waved her hand and hoarsely said to Tang Erda behind her: "Go quickly!!"

[System prompt: Heretic Liu Jiayi uses personal skill (Poison Swamp)]

A layer of poisonous gas rose into the sky, and the opposite side was instantly trapped in the miasma created by Liu Jiayi. Liu Jiayi's eyes were focused, and she bit her lip carefully as she walked around in the poisonous mist. When she saw a green sniper rifle, her pupils shrank, and she quickly rolled over. She squinted her eyes and controlled the poisonous mist to rise up and wrap up the opponent.

"Cough cough..." Daniel coughed in the poisonous mist. He yelled angrily, "Come out! Little blind man! I know it was you who released the poisonous mist!"

Liu Jiayi hid behind the load-bearing column of the spaceship, as calm as a sophisticated machine, constantly controlling the poisonous mist in the swamp to flow and wrap Daniel. The poisonous gas separated Daniel and Cen Mingming and pushed Daniel into the elevator.

——As long as this madman can be sent to the next level, Tang Er’s mission there will be absolutely safe.

But to send it to the next level, the range of her initial poison swamp will not be enough to cover it, so she will need to add another poison skill to cover the range where Daniel is currently active.

Liu Jiayi opened the panel and looked at the antidote and poison skills for a while. The antidote skill had already entered CD, so she took out all the antidotes and gave them to Tang Erda.

——The only skill left in the ultimate move is poison.

A skill she used to commit suicide.

Liu Jiayi felt that her mind and thoughts had never been so clear and calm.

From a tactician's perspective, there was no need to waste so many ultimate skills on a team member who was already unconscious, especially when two team members had already been killed. In fact, what she hadn't said to Tang Er before was that if this opportunity didn't work, they should just give up on Bai Liu.

Not worth it.

Even if Bai Liu died and she failed in this competition, some guilds wanted her, while others wanted Tang Erda. To be precise, what Liu Jiayi wanted was to win the competition, get the wishes and points, and then resurrect Liu Huai. It would be the same for any guild. Phoebe was even willing to let her be the tactician of the King's Guild. To be honest, if she joined forces with Phoebe, the possibility of winning the championship next year was quite high.

You don't have to win the competition with Bai Liu, so why do you have to save him?

From her personal perspective, Bai Liu is just a shameless villain who cheated her soul with two red bean cakes and asked her for change. This guy is a villain no matter how you look at him. He rarely speaks the truth and is always thinking about making money. Not only is he shameless, but he probably has no feelings for her.

He tricked her into working hard for him under the guise of being a good brother entrusted by Liu Huai. She was not really a fool. She was different from Tang Er, Mu Si, Cheng Mu Ke and other people with poor brains. Why would she really do this for Bai Liu?

That's not necessary.

Which family do you choose?

Bai Liu sat beside her bed and asked her calmly, "There are two families who like you very much. Go to whichever one you like."

[This braid style suits you very well. ]

Bai Liu laughed and teased the messy braids that others had made for her. She held her chin up in frustration and complained. Bai Liu walked over, lowered his eyes, and gently untied her braids. He then braided a neat and beautiful new braid for her: "But Jiayi still looks better like this."

[There is a Phoebe on the island, do you want to go over and play together? 】

Bai Liu smiled and said, "I don't think you dislike Phoebe."

"Would you like to try to make friends with her? You don't have any friends of your own age that you can get along with, right?"

Liu Jiayi stared at the panel for three seconds. She clicked on the poison skill and held the poison spray in her hand. She didn't cry or feel sad. She was extremely calm.

She is also a fool.

On the other side, Tang Erda almost explosively suppressed Cen Mingming. He fought with Bai Liu on his back like a mad beast with blood. In just a few minutes, he killed two team members who came to block him, seriously injured the third team member, and started a feud with Cen Mingming.

Tang Erda had his gun knocked away by Cen Mingming, and Cen Mingming's left hand was broken by Tang Erda. The two hunters who were on the verge of madness fought on the ground as if they had lost their minds.

"Why did you have to kill Bai Liu!" Tang Erda yelled at the top of his lungs. He gave up on using the gun, raised his fist, and smashed it hard into Cen Mingming's face. "He didn't do anything bad at all!"

"He has never done anything bad in his life. He is a good man!"

"He saved the child from the orphanage! He saved the person who was poisoned by the dried rose! He saved all the Heretic Management Bureau members on the plane that transported the heretics to the glacier! He saved everyone in the entire Russell Cemetery!"

"He may have saved more people than you, the captain of the second team!"

"Why the hell did you lock him up in the Sinner Well!!" Tang Erda's deep blue eyes flashed with rage and despair, tears and blood from his fist fell together, "He is not a sinner!!"

"Let him out!!"

Cen Mingming was hit by Tang Erda's punch, and his face was sunken. Blood spurted out from the cracks and wounds. The hand with the Death Ring trembled. He clenched it, coughed, and kicked Tang Erda away: "...Who said I won't let go?"

"Get out of the way, I'm going to activate my skills!"

Even Tang Erda was stunned for a moment, and he loosened his hand that was tightly holding Cen Mingming's collar in doubt and confusion. He did not expect it to be so smooth, but Cen Mingming did not seem like the kind of person who would play this kind of game at this juncture. He saw Cen Mingming gritting his teeth and adjusting his Death Ring two or three times.

...What happened? From the beginning, the closed sinner's well could not be opened.

This is his well. It is impossible that even he cannot open it, unless...

——His subconscious mind believes that there is indeed a sinner in the well, and this sinner must not be let out by opening the well.

And he clearly believed that this person was an unforgivable sinner.

Cen Mingming's eyes darkened.

Just now in the elevator, the light was dim and mixed, and he didn't see clearly what happened. He only saw a hand emerge from his well and pull Bai Liu's soul back. He thought it was a heretic transformed by a sinner he had locked up in the well who did this, but now he thought it could only be a gangster.

——Bai Liu.

Tang Erda watched Cen Mingming put down his hand, his expression turned cold again. He took out his gun and pointed it at Cen Mingming's head: "Open the sinner's well and let Bai Liu out."

Cen Mingming was silent for a while, then he raised his head and said, "I...can't let Bai Liu go."

——Because there is another sinner in the well who is very similar to him.

He could not fully distinguish between Bai Liu and Bai Liu. The sinner's well formed by his desires and subconsciousness would only judge both of them as sinners, so he could not open the well.

"So... you were teasing me just now, right?" Tang Erda's expression became fierce, and he raised his hand and swung the butt of his gun at the side of Cen Mingming's face, "Why can't you open your well?!"

"Open it!"

Tang Erda stared at Cen Mingming, then he suddenly realized something and turned his head abruptly to look at the dissipating poisonous fog swamp - Cen Mingming was delaying time!

Jiayi's ultimate skill is running out of time!

But Jiayi never sent him any signal!

From the edge of the poisonous mist, Tang Erda saw a scene that made his heart and lungs stop. Liu Jiayi was holding a bottle of poison spray, hiding in the looming poisonous mist, and slowly forced Daniel back into the elevator - and then she stepped into the elevator with one foot herself.

This is different from the tactics Jiayi told him at the beginning!

Jiayi said at first that she was going to use her poison skill to commit suicide, but now she has used up all her skills to repel and lure Daniel away, and Daniel's Soul Crushing Gun skill will soon be out of cooldown. By then, she and Daniel will be in the elevator, and the poison skill cooldown has not yet expired. She has no means to kill herself quickly, while Daniel has a gun.

——Liu Jiayi will definitely be hit by the soul-crushing gun!

"Little blind man, these are the only skills I remember about you." A weird laugh came from the poisonous mist that was about to dissipate. "Now it's my turn to show off my skills."

[System prompt: Heretic Daniel's skill cooldown has ended. Do you want to use your personal skill (Soul Sniper Rifle)?]

【Sure.】

A gun muzzle condensed with green light appeared in the dissipated poisonous mist. The muzzle was aimed at Liu Jiayi who was walking towards the elevator. Liu Jiayi stood in front of the muzzle. Tang Erda saw her pause for a moment, then turned his head slightly and pressed the elevator button.

The elevator door closed slowly. Tang Erda watched with a blank expression as Liu Jiayi, with the muzzle of her gun pointed at her, turned sideways and looked at him quietly and obediently through the gap of the elevator door. Then she suddenly smiled sweetly and waved to him and Bai Liu. Her movements were as natural as a little girl going to school and saying goodbye to her family. She mouthed the words - goodbye.

Captain Tang, Brother Bai Liu.

Tang Erda suddenly pulled out his gun, he aimed at the gap where the elevator was about to close and shot wildly at Liu Jiayi's back. At the same time, Cen Mingming also focused and quickly transformed the Death Ring into a black pistol, aiming at the gradually closing green gun point and shooting.

“Ahhh——!” Tang Er was going crazy. He equipped a whole monster book, and with his spirit value dropping, he shot so fast that only afterimages were left. He didn’t care at all, his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, “Let her go!!”

Daniel also went crazy. Under such dense firepower, he still chose to shoot at Liu Jiayi: "——You self-righteous burdens!"

His bloodstained face was cruel and vicious, his apple green eyes emitted a shocking light in the darkness, and he also had a happy smile from the bottom of his heart:

"Go to hell, everyone!!"

"Without you, the Godfather can become my God!!"

Green guns, silver guns, and black guns were all firing at the same time. Dense bullets flew through the spreading poisonous mist, and the sliding rays enveloped the elevator like an inescapable death cage.

Cen's unknown bullet knocked Daniel's wrist away, but he still shot a green bullet that symbolized the shattered soul. The bullet grazed Liu Jiayi's face and instantly ignited a white flame, enveloping her gray eyes in the flames.

She was shaking with pain, but at this moment, the little girl's hand was still on the elevator closing button.

——She wanted to take Xiao Chou away.

This way... the rest of us are safe.

These guys were the ones she had saved countless times with all her might... her family and friends. As a witch, there was no reason for her to let them die here.

She is a witch.

The witch said that tonight is Christmas Eve.
