The other people in the carriage were also bandaged. This fierce attack by Brother Thief had hurt everyone to some extent but Du Sanying was still fine. He sat in a corner, a bit embarrassed as he watched the other people bandaging themselves. Then Bai Liu suddenly called out to him. âDu Sanying.â
Du Sanying reflexively turned his head and saw the large diamond shaped mirror fragment thrown by Bai Liu toward him. Du Sanying held this piece of broken lens that took everyoneâs efforts to gather. âBai Liu, why are you giving this to me?â
âYou are 100% lucky and wonât be easily injured or drop items. It is safest to leave it with you.â Bai Liu didnât think there was anything wrong. âIf I die, it isnât worth it if this item is picked up by a monster.â
Bai Liu spoke casually but Mu Sicheng and Du Sanyingâs expressions changed after hearing it. Du Sanying nervously put away the broken lens and stuttered, âY-You wonât die Bai Liu! You have calculated the health values and we can definitely get through it, just like last time!â
Mu Sicheng also sent Bai Liu a deep glance. Bai Liuâs attitude was very honest. âI have calculated my health but there are always accidents, right?â
âFor example, the second monster in this game is much stronger than predicted and there is still one monster that hasnât come out. It is really hard to say what will happen.â Bai Liuâs tone was very plain and it didnât feel like he was discussing something as terrible as his own death. âThe probability of death isnât small. So Du Sanying, the safest place for these lenses is with you. Even if I die, the broken lenses wonât be wasted. Do you understand?â
After he finished speaking, he coughed up another mouthful of blood. This blood was mixed with visceral fragments but it was casually wiped away by Bai Liuâs hand.
The people in the carriage looked at the blood on Bai Liuâs palms and were silent.
A drop in health to 6 points had a great impact on the playerâs body. Few people could stay awake like Bai Liu. They were almost as weak as a terminally ill patient. Bai Liuâs words were indeed true. It was an extremely normal thing if he died in this game.
Du Sanying couldnât bear it and watched Bai Liu with red eyes. Bai Liu tried to save their lives but heâŚ
âOkay!â Du Sanying nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He was a bit moved as he looked at Bai Liu. âI must keep it! Once the game is over, I will give it to you! You can rest assured that I wonât give it to anyone except you!â
Du Sanying secretly glanced at the silent Puppet Zhang, as if wary of this person snatching the broken lenses.
Bai Liu looked strangely at Du Sanying who suddenly had a high fighting spirit. He gave the broken lenses to Du Sanying because the monster was likely to lock onto and attack the person with the lenses. Mu Sicheng was attacked badly because of this.
Du Sanying had the highest health and least damage among everyone. His luck was also 100%. The broken lenses had to be given to Du Sanying to attract the monsterâs aggro and attacks so Bai Liu and the others were safer.
Puppet Zhang watched Du Sanying like this person was mentally disabled. He sneered but didnât say anything. In any case, he was now controlled by Bai Liu. He didnât have to consider other things if Bai Liu wasnât dead. It was safest to leave the broken lenses with Du Sanying, a lucky fool.
The only thing Puppet Zhang couldnât figure out was why Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, the two players on the rising stars rankings, would listen to Bai Liu like they were bewitched. Puppet Zhang had played so many games and this was the first time he encountered this type of person who was controlled and paid a lot of money to the controller. Still, it was also the first time he met a controller who wanted to save his âpuppetsâ.
Puppet Zhangâs gaze stayed on Bai Liuâs pale face for a few seconds. Bai Liu seemed to perceive Puppet Zhangâs gaze and nodded politely at him. It seemed he didnât regard Puppet Zhang as an enemy, even though they were fighting just a moment ago.
âDamn, perhaps I am also bewitched.â Puppet Zhang looked away and cursed in his heart. He didnât want Bai Liu to die.
He didnât want Bai Liu to stay alive due to Du Sanyingâs idiotic emotions. It was from a more practical perspective. Bai Liu had control of the field. This clever guy was very good at accurately controlling everyoneâs health to make the overall loss much smaller.
He could guarantee that this game would be cleared with the minimum loss.
If Bai Liu died, Puppet Zhang didnât have the confidence to control Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng completely like Bai Liu did. Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying didnât trust him. As long as he couldnât reach a cooperative relationship with these two people, Puppet Zhang didnât have the confidence to successfully pass the game with just himself and his puppets.
This game was too difficult. Simply put, this game required seven players to cooperate to clear the level but no one could do this except Bai Liu.
This guy with only 6 health was the key to the entire game.
Bai Liu looked up at the countdown. âThe train is about to arrive at the station again so I will make rough arrangements. Mu Sicheng and Liu Huai will cooperate to steal the broken lenses from the passengers. Mu Sicheng is responsible for stealing the fragments and Liu Huai is responsible for attracting the aggro. My health is too dangerous so I wonât help Mu Sicheng attract aggro. Can the two of you do it?â
Both Liu Huai and Mu Sichengâs expressions changed. It was strange that the teammates who had turned against each other were arranged to cooperate by Bai Liu. Liu Huai didnât dare to look at Mu Sichengâs face and spoke softly with a guilty conscience. âI have no problem.â
Mu Sicheng didnât speak. He intellectually knew that Bai Liuâs arrangement was the best but he had a sense of disgust and rejection that he couldnât control. This slight sense of rejection was reflected in his limbs and it was fatal when working together.
For a player like Mu Sicheng with a movement speed of over 7,000, one second of hesitation was enough to kill him in this difficult level 2 game. Previously, Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu didnât collapse when they cooperated because Bai Liu didnât drop the chain and was able to take care of Mu Sichengâs various mistakes.
However, Liu Huai wasnât a monster like Bai Liu. He wouldnât be able to cover for Mu Sichengâs mistakes. Mu Sicheng wasnât the type of person to ignore reality. He paused before honestly expressing his position. âI will do my best to cooperate with Liu Huai. There might be some subconscious rejection but I will try my best to control it.â
âNo.â Bai Liu cut off Mu Sicheng and stared at him. âYou arenât cooperating with Liu Huai. You are working with me. He is just a puppet I am manipulating through Puppet Zhang. If I say you are working with my puppet, can this eliminate your psychological feeling of rejection.â
Mu Sicheng stared at Bai Liu for a moment before sneering. âYes.â
âOkay.â Bai Liu turned to look at Du Sanying. âDu Sanying, is it okay if I ask you to hang the broken lens outside and to not keep it in your system backpack?â
Du Sanying was a bit dazed. He didnât understand why Bai Liu did this but he still nodded. âYes yes.â
Bai Liu continued. âLi Gou and Fang Ke are responsible for working with Liu Huai and Mu Sicheng to handle the attacking passengers. Reduce the pressure on them to prevent them from being hurt.â
Li Gou and Fang Ke murmured, ââŚYes.â
Bai Liu moved his eyes to the last person. âPuppet Zhang, your mission is to protect me.â
Du Sanying and the others were shocked and Mu Sicheng frowned in disapproval. âBai Liu, Puppet Zhang is a very cunning person. Even if you control him, you canât be 100% sure that he wonât break free of your control and kill you. Not to mention, you only have 6 health points. You are too weak to stay with himâŚâ It was too dangerous!
âIt is precisely because I only have 6 health left that I guarantee he will protect me.â Bai Liu calmly cut off Mu Sicheng and didnât give other people a look. Instead, he stared at Puppet Zhang with a calm expression in his eyes before suddenly changing the name. âMaster, will you kill me?â
Bai Liu abruptly smiled. The smile was cunning and there was a strange desire on his fragile face. âI think you wonât kill me, Master. It is because you have missed the only chance to kill me. You canât kill me anymore. You can only do one thingââ
His bloodless lips opened softly. ââThat is to save me, Master.â
Bai Liu kept calling Puppet Zhang âMasterâ. Bai Liu was indeed still Puppet Zhangâs puppet but Puppet Zhang got goosebumps when he was called this way. Every time Bai Liuâs pale lips slowly and clearly pronounced the word âMasterâ, it gave Puppet Zhang the feeling that he was being played in the hands of the other person.
The only chance to kill him⌠Puppet Zhang looked at Bai Liu and remembered.
Eight minutes ago, he strangled Bai Liu angrily and said he was going to kill Bai Liu. Bai Liu had looked at him with the same eyes and asked in such a tone, âMaster, will you kill me?â
At that time, Puppet Zhang didnât kill Bai Liu. Thus, he could no longer kill Bai Liu.
[The train is about to arrive at Xinghai Lake Park. Passengers who are about to get off, please sit firmly and stay away from the door. First let the passengers board and then get off in turnâ zi zi zi]
Before the female voice could finish, the door of the train that hadnât stopped was blasted by a fist of fire. Brother Thief got on and yelled at everyone, his hands beating the crumbling train door. Even if the monster couldnât speak, everyone felt his anger at the broken lens being stolen.
âNo!â Du Sanying collapsed and grabbed his hair. âBrother, why are you here again?!!!â
âDu Sanying, I think you should run quickly.â Bai Liu kindly reminded him. âThe broken lens that Brother Thief had is placed on your body and he will definitely chase you. I didnât arrange for anyone to protect you so you are on your own.â
Du Sanying was silent for a few seconds before tearfully taking out his go-kart car and sitting in it. Du Sanying wiped his tears while loudly scolding Bai Liu. âBai Liu, you deliberately did this! You deliberately placed the broken lenses on my body! Fuuuuuuck!!!â
âYes.â Bai Liu admitted it without any shame. âI am going to use you to attract the aggro of Brother Thief. Draw him away while we take this opportunity to steal the broken lenses from the other passengers. Remember to run away and donât hurt us by mistake.â
âI will kill you Bai Liu!â Du Sanyingâs facial features were distorted by his crying. âWuwuwu, I actually believed in you. Bai Liu, you have no heart!â
Bai Liu perfunctorily raised a fist to the driving Du Sanying and cheered for him. âBelieve in yourself, Du Sanying. You are the luckiest person and can definitely do it.â
âI canâtâ!!!!!â Du Sanying roared to the point where his voice broke.
The carriage door slowly opened and Brother Thief rushed in with a roaring fist. He soon stopped as he looked left and right, seemingly searching for his broken lens.
Bai Liu could see the burnt-black skull at the back of Brother Thiefâs head. There was a burnt and shrunken black brain inside. The brain seemed to move suddenly and one eye opened, but the eye soon closed again and disappeared.
