Chapter 47 - 47

-------

"One minute to go until the next stop at Hexagon Avenue, please prepare to get off the train." The female radio voice announces sweetly and clearly, "Please do not block the doors of the bus to prevent passengers from boarding, get on first and then get off -"

Mu Sicheng's face was as black as a pot as he shook his hand and glanced sideways at Bai Liu who was sitting in the small Ma Baoli with Du Sanying: " Bai Liu, what if you don't have a way to shift the hate? If these monsters keep their hatred on me, I'll die easily."

"Don't you have my [Mermaid Amulet]?" Bai Liu said without skipping a beat, "You can still escape once with this prop, we're just trying it out this time, in case it doesn't work."

"You didn't fucking let me steal this prop from you just to use it here, did you?! What's the point of teleporting?" Mu Sicheng exploded, "The monster's hate value will be locked on me from start to finish, and will chase me whenever it sees me."

Du Sanying looked at Bai Liu with mixed feelings: " Bai Liu, is it true that the broken lens is on the passenger? Then this game is a bit too ..." difficult.

"If the broken lens is really on the passenger." Mu Sicheng replaced his wristband with an accelerated one, snickering as he rubbed his wrist, "Then this game is probably not even low in difficulty for a Tier 2 game, Bai Liu, you have a good eye for picking games."

"I should be able to deflect the hate." Bai Liu said, "I have an attack weapon with a strong judgement, it's just that it's a bit of a strain, and oh yes, speaking of which-"

As if Bai Liu suddenly remembered something, he took out a thousand points from his pocket and handed it to Du Sanying who was in a daze, "I will keep buying stamina supplements later, I guess the price of stamina supplements on my side will go up, you can hold some for me, if the price doesn't go up on your side, you can buy them for me."

"Oh oh oh." Du Sanying's attention was on the outside of the car door, and his emotions were so high because he was about to start the battle that he was confused by Bai Liu's interruption, but he subconsciously took the points Bai Liu gave him, "I'll get you some energy supplements, right? Okay. "

Buying the same item in bulk does drive up the unit price in the player's shop.

The moment Du Sanying received the points, Bai Liu suddenly smiled and tapped Du Sanying on the shoulder: "We have to work together during this game, and you have to help me, Du Sanying."

Du Sanying, with the thousand points given by Bai Liu in his hand, nodded dumbly, "Yes, okay."

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has used 1,000 points to enter into a partnership with player Du Sanying to purchase stamina supplements, and when player Bai Liu needs help, player Du Sanying should provide it in a timely manner].

"The train has arrived at the station-"

Mu Sicheng looked coldly at the charred corpses, or rather passengers, waiting outside the door of the bus, and with an impatient tsk, he pressed down the monkey headset he wore on his head, and Mu Sicheng's whole face became like a monkey's, with piercing red lights in his eyes, fangs emerging from his lips, his hands turning into long, thin, tight black monkey claws with sharp nails, and his neck A yellowish, coarse, hard hair can be seen emerging from Mu Sicheng's collar, and a black and white tail pokes out of his trousers in the shape of a question mark.

Bai Liu stood on his back, his ankles tied by Du Sanying with a seat belt from the kart to prevent him from being thrown off.

He slowly drew a snow-white bone whip from his waist and flicked his wrist to accommodate it, looking intently at Mu Sicheng, Bai Liu's attention had always been very focused when he was doing something, but when he needed it, that focus could reach an uncanny level.

Du Sanying can barely hear Bai Liu's breathing after he sinks his body and begins to stare at Mu Sicheng, his whole being immersed in a state of near-object immobility.

The simple idioms of concentration and God Quan concentration do not even begin to describe Bai Liu's focus. Du Sanying stared in awe at Bai Liu, whose pupils were slowly contracting and who had not blinked for nearly a minute.

Rather, it is a sophisticated weapon that is calibrating the object of its attack.

The door slowly opened and the burning wind and the black, burning corpses with their fangs and claws burst into the carriage.

The heat quickly distorted everyone's vision, even the train's gelatinous door frames melted under the touch of the entering passengers, and Mu Sicheng took a deep breath as he slowly moved his trembling monkey paws.

An uncontrollable fear overcame Mu Sicheng as he watched the passengers burning and wailing in the flames, unable to escape.

If Bai Liu's speculation is wrong, if there are no lenses in these monsters' bodies at all, if Bai Liu can't transfer the hate value at all, if Bai Liu is just trying to use him to test his mind ...

If any part of Bai Liu's plan goes wrong, the first player to die is Mu Sicheng, who is facing the monster.

These passengers, burning in the flames and dying, are what Mu Sicheng's future will look like.

A myriad of doubts, anxieties, fears, even murderous intent and despair, all tumbled and overlapped in his mind, so thick that he could not breathe, and Mu Sicheng faltered in the face of the pain of life and death and the never-ending flames, his monkey paws trembling imperceptibly.

Perhaps no one could be unmoved by this scene, except for a monster like Bai Liu who would do anything for money.

But there was no turning back, Bai Liu had him in his hands and he had to die if he wanted to.

" Mu Sicheng ." Bai Liu suddenly spoke up, his eyes taking on an inorganic cold light, his tone bland, "You are the most useful card in my hand, you are too valuable, I will not let you die, you will survive."

"So don't hesitate to do what you have to do and leave the rest to me."

Mu Sicheng met Bai Liu with this glance through the thick smoke, and the flying sparks and bodies, the whole carriage plunged into unquenchable flames, [the passengers'] mournful tumbling wails filling their ears, the black bodies showing hideously outstretched limbs in a sea of fire and flames.

It is as if they are in the middle of a battlefield where death is certain, and Bai Liu's words are as if a greedy and cruel general is compelling his soldiers to fight for him and win more for him.

But, bizarrely, Mu Sicheng was actually ridiculously inspired.

In that moment he saw himself reflected in Bai Liu's unruffled eyes and the leaping tongues of fire, and Mu Sicheng actually felt that Bai Liu would not let himself die.

"Tch." Mu Sicheng turned and suddenly smiled as he took a deep breath to calm his pounding heartbeat, "If I die, Bai Liu, I won't let you go as a ghost."

The moment these words were spoken, the red light in Mu Sicheng's eyes burst into flame, and the ear-splitting laughter of the monkey's headphones resounded throughout the carriage, as Mu Sicheng's tail hooked itself onto the rings in the carriage and moved quickly by hand and foot, touching the creatures with a speed almost invisible to the human eye. Du Sanying can barely see all of Mu Sicheng's movements, only the shadows.

...

Sweat dripped from behind Mu Sicheng's ears and onto the iron floor of the carriage, making the sound of a red-hot iron banned by cold water, and finally, after Mu Sicheng had dropped five life points, the system beep changed.

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng has obtained a broken lens (1/????) Congratulations to player Mu Sicheng for being the first player in the game to obtain a broken lens!

A broken lens the size of a three-carat diamond is held in two fingers by Mu Sicheng's hot, black monkey paws, emitting a crystalline, luminous light.

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but whistle and turned to Bai Liu and cursed, "Got it, you guessed it, damn, this is a hell of a game, the broken lens is only this big, I almost missed it, do you know how much effort I put into catching this thing?"

"But now is where the hard fighting begins." Mu Sicheng watched as the [passengers] who had been attacked by him staggered up in battle, their flame-burned, near-melting eyes staring unseeingly at him, their bodies ablaze with flames as they climbed towards him at speed.

[System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng has stolen from 5 passengers. The passengers are furious and they have decided to catch this despicable thief and punish him severely]

Mu Sicheng dodged a [passenger's] outstretched hand with a sideways rise against the hoop, but four other passengers lunged at him head-on, and he shouted, with veins bursting, " Bai Liu --! Draw them off!!!"

Bai Liu stands at the front of a pink go-kart, or bumper car, with a bone whip in one hand, the hot wind pouring into Bai Liu's somewhat baggy white shirt, causing it to swell up, the wind spilling out of the collar and ruffling the hair on Bai Liu's forehead, revealing Bai Liu's incredibly focused eyes.

With a flick of his wrist, the whip rose into the air and struck the back of the hand of one of the [passengers] who was trying to catch Mu Sicheng with a crisp "pop".

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu used (Siren's Fishbone) to smack the passenger, target hate value shifted, he decided to catch Bai Liu, a naughty player, and punish him severely]
