God's Container (II)
Rost propped up his chin and watched him eat, sleep, and play games. He felt bored because there were not many game updates and activities. He sighed casually, "In this situation, there are still games that can be updated?"
Li Yuebai was playing "Swordsman Online" and responded vaguely.
Originally, this game should have been shut down at the speed of light, but after the war started, the strongest human being took away the entire studio and ordered them to continue updating, so he was able to continue playing.
In fact, the update quality of the game is actually quite good, it’s just that the speed is a bit slow and there are fewer players. Fortunately, this game can be played without a team.
Rather, it was almost as if this was an online game that was updated specifically for him.
Oh, yes. He seems to be the only player in the card game.
At least he never saw the second one.
Rost watched him play games for three hours quietly. When he was tired, he curled up on the sofa and then went to the game forum to read the few posts.
He suddenly said, "That's right."
"If you need it," the captain said, "we will help you."
"Hmm? Help?"
The young man's hair fell down, casting a shadow on his face. "Although I have heard about this before, and that is why I came here...but seeing classmate Li being treated like this in front of me, I still feel heartbroken."
He touched his chest.
He was still wearing his combat uniform today, so Li Yuebai could see his chest bulging when he breathed, revealing his powerful strength.
"What are you talking about?" Li Yuebai was at a loss.
He seemed to be completely oblivious to his situation… Even before, at the academy tournament, when he was his opponent, he had stars in his eyes and was very cunning when negotiating with him.
Rost was silent for a moment, looked him in the eyes, and then spoke briefly.
Unlike his usual casual self, he was choosing his words carefully and his attitude was a little cautious for some reason.
“…”
It was also the first time that Li Yuebai heard that his classmates outside were very worried about him.
They were fighting bloody battles outside, while he was living peacefully in a luxurious suite.
"Are many people concerned about me?" Li Yuebai asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Facing such a look, he unconsciously tilted his head: "A lot of protest letters have been submitted, otherwise they wouldn't have let someone of my status come this time. I'm not trusted by those stubborn conservatives."
"I thought everyone had forgotten me." Li Yuebai scratched his head.
It was as if he had almost forgotten them.
No, I didn’t take it too seriously.
“…Don’t be too self-deprecating.” The young man wanted to keep smiling, but he couldn’t help but sigh: “Just because his background can be used as a threat and he has value, he can be imprisoned at will, without considering Li’s own wishes at all…”
"Yeah..." Li Yuebai quickly responded "yes", "yes", "yes", speeding up the plot dialogue, while thinking: Hmm? Does he also know that the Li family bloodline can be used as a vessel for God?
Very few people knew about the plan, and those who did were almost all weighing the pros and cons.
But after some people know this... taking advantage of and harming innocent people is just despicable.
No matter which side it is.
"So..." The young man, who never hesitated in his words or deeds, hesitated rarely.
"So?" Li Yuebai agreed with him.
"I should have been shining brightly... but now I am confined to a small world."
There was still a trace of gloom between the young man's brows, but he still smiled at him: "Want to join us? I can take you away."
Li Yuebai completes the camp mission in one second.
He sobered up and asked: "What do you mean by joining you?"
Rost crossed his arms and said something unethical as a matter of course: "In times of war, fewer people won't be very conspicuous... So recently we have assassinated many nobles who have only power but no power. I am in the army, so it is more convenient to complete the mission."
There is... there is a traitor!
"They all have rich assets," he said with a smile, "which is very suitable for us to further develop our power."
According to his character, he seems to be a person who puts profit above all else, but no one is too wary of him.
If the Destiny Card could add a favorability function, Li Yuebai would find out the reason.
Rost introduced him to a new force - the Machasis Rebellion.
In the mythology of a certain region, Machasis is the god of war and rebellion.

"Can you come closer, please?" Li Yuebai sat on the sofa and waved at him naturally.
...It had been a long time since anyone had treated him like this, ever since he had taught a few arrogant nobles a lesson on the battlefield.
He is a born opportunist, but he is also born not to be servile.
He leaned over: "Are you going to agree? After you come, you can do whatever you want. You don't have to do those dangerous tasks. We just want to..."
"Come closer, okay?"
“…”
The young man was a little stuck, and paused for a moment before finishing his fluent speech, which he had prepared for a long time: "...Yeah."
They were getting closer and closer, until their breathing intertwined.
He could see his pursed lips, his handsome face, and his black eyelashes trembling slightly, which seemed to reveal a bit of his nervousness.
His breathing became lighter, his thoughts racing as he thought about how to first comfort him and then convince him.
...But it was too close, beyond his psychological distance.
"After coming in, I have removed all the monitoring equipment in the room..."
The young man whispered in his ear: "Rost."
The young man whose name was called focused his attention instantly and turned to look into Li Yuebai's eyes.
He only saw a slight smile.
Then I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and lost consciousness.
Li Yuebai complained to the card spirit who had put away the greatsword: "I listened to the introduction of the new faction for a long time, but no tasks were triggered. I thought there were some faction tasks."
He asked patiently for a long time.
"...Maybe it's because they were not strong enough and too aggressive, so they didn't survive to the end." As time passed, the restrictions on them became fewer and fewer, and the cards gradually revealed more information: "Because they died too early, there are not many tasks related to them. Of course, this is just my personal guess...My memory is still a little fuzzy, sorry, master."
The Desperate Death Knight is obviously not in the same camp as the Rebels, so there is no emotional fluctuation in his words.

"Is it necessary to tie me up so tightly? Do you want to hand me over? A criminal who betrayed the empire?"
The person he questioned did not respond.
The young man's hands were tied behind his back, his legs were bent, and his thighs and calves were tied together.
He woke up very quickly, with his face pressed against the ground. He struggled for a bit, then got up in a panic, barely able to face Li Yuebai who was still sitting.
It's a really humiliating posture.
The trust delivered was rewarded with such treatment.
To be honest, after deciding to come here to persuade Li Yuebai to leave, Rost had thought about such a development.
However, he always felt that those were not a pair of eyes driven by interests.
He tensed up and said, "I didn't notice the other person's presence just now. Is this your new ability? I feel like your ability shouldn't be of the enhancement type, but more of a trait type."
"...Are you listening?" he suddenly asked him. Because of the rough treatment, the young man's hairstyle, which he had done before coming, was now messy, with messy hair sticking to his face.
"I'm listening." Li Yuebai replied.
He just admired the way this guy was tied up for a while. Well... this look suits him quite well.
Rost subconsciously avoided his gaze: "Why haven't you called the guards yet? There are soldiers on duty outside."
"Why should we call them?" Li Yuebai continued to be confused.
"Hasn't this been done to me?" He remained calm and began to think about how to break out of the siege.
"Don't get me wrong," Li Yuebai took out a knife from somewhere, pointed it at his neck, and said, "You don't want to be captured by the empire or die a violent death, do you? Do one thing for me, and I will let you go."
So cool, he's giving a villain speech!
Rost looked at him: "..."
Rost smiled, with a hint of helplessness: "Mr. Li, what's the matter?... Since I am already your prisoner, I will follow your arrangements."
"Get me out of here."
Li Yuebai has been here for quite some time, but no new tasks have appeared yet. It's time to change the map.
Rost's expression became obviously surprised: "Take you away? Of course." But wasn't this the suggestion he had just made?
He immediately responded: "Where do you want me to take you?"
Li Yuebai said to him: "You should have heard that I have always been an insignificant illegitimate child in the Li family, with an awkward status. I trusted my teachers and classmates, so I left the family after the war and asked them to bring me here, but I didn't expect to be imprisoned by the empire..."
Li Yuebai uses the Spring and Autumn style of writing!
The effect is outstanding!
The young man in front of him already showed a hint of approval.
Li Yuebai continued to exaggerate and confuse right and wrong until the young man's eyes softened and he stared at him seriously.
"To sum up...so, I want to go back to the Li family." He finalized it.
He hadn't felt this powerless for a long time since he awakened his special abilities at the age of ten.
He did not choose the empire, nor did he choose them, but instead chose to return to the family that had changed.
"But the Li family has betrayed humanity." Rost's face was grim: "Do you want to stand against humanity?"
Li Yuebai moved the knife in his hand and cut a large wound on the young man's neck without knowing the severity. Blood flowed down and soaked the tip of the knife. He said domineeringly: "Don't talk so much nonsense. Just listen to my arrangements and cherish your life, Rost."
A little bit of pain. But the sense of existence is strong.
Rost did not use his hands, which had been untied secretly, but just thought quietly for a second or two, and then continued:
"They have lost their humanity. It will be very dangerous for you to go back. Do you really realize their attitude towards you? Even if you kill me now, I will not send you back."
"The Container Project? Although you all say so, the container may not be me, right? I am just a bastard, and my bloodline is not very pure, right? I need to go back and ask my brother."
He felt a headache: he could understand Li's admiration for his brother. After all, as the former White King, even if he betrayed humans, there were still many people who chose to follow him. But what kind of brother control statement was this?
In fact, Li Yuebai just felt that since the system had issued a task to complete the God's Container Plan, players would definitely not be sacrificed.
He is the only player!
"Besides, I am the head of the Li family now. They shouldn't do anything to me, right?"
"The head of the Li family?"
"Yes." The young man said heartlessly, "Don't you know? My brother has asked me to take over."
"?"
"You really don't know? I thought you all knew." Li Yuebai was surprised for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's because I'm just a puppet patriarch. My brother only gave me a title, but no power at all."
Brother NPC is so bad!
There is no such news from the outside world.
He was oddly silent for a moment.
A piece of information in my mind suddenly filled in.
wrong.
wrong.
wrong.
All assumptions have to be overturned and started over again.
Student Li doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the head of the family.
Even if one has no real power, the position of head of the family cannot be handed over at will.
In the Li family, he is not dispensable, but occupies an important position.
Even if there is a sacrifice as rumored, it will not be him, but everyone except him.
The requirement to become a vessel is not only pure blood. In order to bear the power of the gods, the quality of the vessel itself should be as strong as possible.
Could it be that the true container of God is...
"Anyway, I still think it's better to go home to see my brother... I've already told you everything, you can't let me down."
Li's knife was still against his neck, with blood still on the blade.
Student Li was so impatient that he accidentally made the wound worse.
He felt the blood draining away, causing him to feel a little dizzy.
His weakness was controlled, and his fingers trembled nervously behind his back, his fighting instinct making it difficult for him to control himself.
Student Li looked at him seriously.
That look was hard for him to refuse.
