Chapter 146

Meanwhile, underground parking.

The door of the car next to Tang Erda's parking space was slowly pushed open.

The three of Mu Sicheng who had been guarding the back got out of the car. They walked very quickly to the elevator and watched as Tang Erda entered and then the elevator descended rapidly and finally stopped at the -4 position.

They looked at each other, Liu Jiayi swiped the elevator with Su Chao's work ID, and then pressed the -4 button.

Liu Jiayi's gaze was fixed on the red siren that kept flashing in the elevator, Mu Sicheng's face was so dark that he could touch ashes, and Mu Ke was silent.

"Tsk." Mu Sicheng vomited out the foul breath he had held in his chest when he had been listening to Tang Erda and Bai Liu talking in the car just now, "Can I beat up this Tang guy later?"

"Did he say something wrong?" Liu Jiayi asked calmly.

Mu Sicheng was choked - in a sense, this Tang man did not say anything wrong... Bai Liu is a guy from head to toe, every strand of hair is vicious...

But it's just... quite uncomfortable!

"But so what if he's right, I'm also very upset." Liu Jiayi looked away from the siren, she wrinkled her nose, with a rare childish look on her face, "I will try my best to buy you time, you Beat up my share of unhappiness too."

Mu Sicheng was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his mouth: "OK."

—————————

On the fourth floor underground, Bai Liu quickly shuttled between different passages.

Both sides of the passage are strangely shaped metal rooms with numbers written on them. They are all similar in style, and occasionally make various strange sounds. Walking in it for a long time feels like walking in a maze. It is very difficult to get out of the map by yourself.

To make matters worse there are patrols around every corner.

Although these patrols are few in number, they are arranged scientifically, which makes it difficult for Bai Liu to enter the game smoothly. His process of entering the game is always interrupted by these patrols who suddenly turn around the corner.

This made Bai Liu realize that this patrol layout was probably specially designed by Tang Erda to target [players].

Under the patrol of these ordinary people, it is difficult for [players] to easily enter the game.

Tang Erda first used [Magic Space] to make a small cage for Bai Liu. After Bai Liu escaped from this small cage, he would enter a larger mobile cage arranged by these patrolmen.

Bai Liu stuck to the wall, he adjusted his breathing, ready to try for the last time.

Bai Liu took out the coin on the chain to enter the game, but when he was about to summon the system, a patrolman turned around at the corner at the other end of his passage, and Bai Liu had to put down the coin and turned to enter another passage.

Sure enough, these inflection point [Patrol Officers] are equivalent to an interruption device.

While being chased by the patrolmen behind her, Bai Liu hurriedly ran, and at the same time glanced at the numbers of the left and right rooms - 1097, 1096...

The number of the room where Bai Liu escaped was 006, and now it has reached more than a thousand, but he didn't see all the numbers in the whole process, it felt like he had taken a shortcut to a certain room.

... It's not an illusion, these patrols are deliberately driving him to a certain numbered room.

Bai Liu's footsteps stopped at another corner, his eyes stopped at the end of the corridor, he was driven to a dead end.

The room number at the end of the dead end is 【1087】.

Tang Erda, who watched all this through the surveillance camera, held up a communication device, and cruelly issued an order: "Patrollers, put on your breathing masks, I will turn on the waterproof mode, and then turn on the heresy [1087], named [Swallowing Spring Eye] The door of the room is about to enter the underwater mode, all team members, please get ready—"

"--3, 2--"

The small windows of the metal doors of the rooms surrounded by the white willow clicked and closed one after another, and the doors of each small room sank and pushed outwards, forming the two smooth metal walls of the corridor tightly. The patrolman opposite him was wearing a transparent mask for himself. Breathing mask, the last sound of the countdown came from the communicator——

"--1."

The door [1087] behind Bai Liu was slowly opened.

The clear, continuous spring water gushes out, and the rushing torrent and spray are reflected in the eyes of Bai Liu who turned his head, sweeping him instantly.

elevator.

The monitor in the elevator was smashed by Mu Sicheng as soon as they entered.

Mu Sicheng was a little nervous: "Is there surveillance inside this base? Hey, do we need to hide from the surveillance or something..."

"There is no need to enter the base." Liu Jiayi's tone was indifferent, "Our purpose is to sneak in and take Bai Liu into the game quickly. Avoiding surveillance will delay our speed. They can shoot as they like, I don't care."

Mu Ke quickly said, "I don't care either."

"... Fuck, but I still have a final exam..." Mu Sicheng was a little depressed, "If I'm wanted, can I take the exam in prison? I don't want to make up the exam..."

Liu Jiayi pretended not to hear Mu Sicheng's complaint, and looked at the two men: "Let's sort out the plan again. We don't know the situation inside, and we don't have a map. In order to avoid being caught, we implement a coordinate jump mechanism, that is, if If someone wants to catch you, you will enter the game."

"After entering the game, you can get a 12-digit coordinate number for logging in. When the three of us enter the game at the same time and meet, we exchange dangerous coordinates with each other, then change coordinates, and then go to the original coordinates and meet, so that We don't get separated, and we get a path curve."

"The three of us start from three mutually perpendicular directions, which are equivalent to the z-axis, y-axis, and x-axis of the three-dimensional coordinate axis. We determine different coordinate points in different directions, and then connect them with the original coordinate points. After a few times we can restore a complete path curve."

Liu Jiayi gestured around the three of them with her hand: "Buildings have rules. After we have the general curve of this building, we can restore a rough map. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Mu Ke thought for a second or two, "I have a good memory, and I can help you restore the entire map with coordinate points."

Mu Sicheng looked blank: "..."

How many things are these? ! He hasn't studied the coordinate system since he graduated from the college entrance examination!

Liu Jiayi squinted at Mu Sicheng: "Did you not understand?"

Mu Sicheng bowed his head depressedly and admitted: "Yes."

The elevator made a "ding--" arrival sound.

Liu Jiayi turned her head and looked at the elevator door calmly: "It's okay if you don't understand, just follow my instructions."

She turned to the elevator door that was opening, and ordered with a deep breath: "Prepare to attack, there are usually guards at the elevator door."

The elevator door opened slowly, and water poured in. Liu Jiayi quickly climbed onto Mu Sicheng's shoulders to avoid being submerged. She frowned as she watched the swaying water waves pouring into the elevator.

The two patrolmen staying behind at the elevator door poked their heads in: "Are you members of the second detachment who were urgently recruited to catch the heretic No. 006? Remember to wear a breathing mask, and you are catching with water—"

Their eyes quickly fell on Liu Jiayi, a child who obviously shouldn't be here.

"Aren't you team members—?!" The two patrolmen raised the communicators in their hands in amazement and prepared to report, "Report, someone has sneaked into—!" The fourth basement floor of the base!

Before they finished speaking, Mu Sicheng and Mu Ke who were hiding by the door strangled them and dragged them in, and put them neatly.

Mu Sicheng pulled off the clothes and mask communicators of the two patrolmen, and handed them to Mu Ke. They stood in the swaying water half-submerged and changed their clothes with difficulty, and then put the two patrolmen The staff put on their own clothes and put them in the elevator.

Mu Ke pressed the -1 button, and the two knocked-out patrolmen, wearing his and Mu Sicheng's clothes, leaned against the elevator wall in a daze and went up as the elevator doors closed.

A questioning voice came from the communicator: "Hello?! What's the situation with an intruder?!"

Mu Ke took the communicator that Mu Sicheng handed him and then reported: "We found two unidentified intruders at the entrance of the elevator, and we drove them away immediately. They are fleeing to the -1 floor by the elevator!"

After speaking, Mu Ke turned off the communicator.

Mu Sicheng came out of the elevator with Liu Jiayi on his back. He shook off the water in his hand, frowned and looked at the water that had almost reached his shoulders: "What's the matter with this water?"

"I'm going to change the plan." Liu Jiayi took off her goggles, her expression was cold: "Someone is trapping Bai Liu with water, I played a round of games with Bai Liu, he has a very special repulsion to water, I think It is very likely that someone is torturing Bai Liu with water to make him explain something, we need to hurry up."

Mu Sicheng's face also changed, he looked at Liu Jiayi on his shoulder: "How fast?"

Liu Jiayi looked around, and she looked at the gaps where the doors in the closed corridors fit together: "Someone converted this floor into a sealed environment, and then put water to drown the fleeing white willows inside, but this also made this kind of space that extends in all directions The corridor environment is very much like a sewer.”

Liu Jiayi lowered her head and "looked" at the swaying water: "Bai Liu should be near the outlet of these sewer pipes, so it will be faster for us to find him, and we don't need to use the more complicated coordinate system method before."

"I understand." Mu Ke responded quickly, "Water flow, right?"

Liu Jiayi nodded: "Yes, water flow."

"No..." Mu Sicheng interrupted the conversation between the two in humiliation, "Can you occasionally say something that a person with an intelligence value of seventy-four can understand?"

Liu Jiayi said speechlessly: "It means that we can judge the location of the water outlet through the direction and sound of the water flow, and then find the white willow."

"How to judge?" Mu Sicheng still didn't understand, "I can't pinpoint this, right? The water flow here looks messy, and it's not just a small stream..."

Liu Jiayi casually handed the goggles to Mu Sicheng and interrupted him: "Help me hold it."

Mu Sicheng took it in a daze, and then Liu Jiayi took a deep breath and plunged into the water. In less than a second, she floated up again, pointed in a direction, and then turned her head to "look" with a little disgust. Mu Sicheng's direction doesn't seem to want to spend more time explaining these things to this stupid man.

"In the water, I can judge the position of the water through the sound of the water and the direction of the water flow." Liu Jiayi made a gesture of following me, "And the position where you are standing is blocked by the water flow, forming a backflow around you, there will be sound, I can also Rely on this to determine whether there is anyone in front.”

Mu Ke looked at Mu Sicheng, and he sympathetically explained to Mu Sicheng who was still a little dizzy: "It's like a fish distinguishing the direction of water flow through the somatosensory lateral line of its abdomen."

Liu Jiayi nodded: "That's almost what it means."

"How can you even do this?!" Mu Sicheng looked at Liu Jiayi who was ups and downs in the water in amazement, "Hey! This is the real world! Are you a human or a monster?! This is a super power! "

Liu Jiayi didn't answer Mu Sicheng's words, but just gave him a blank look, turned around and swam freely into the water like a fish entering the water.

She knows this one because she is born blind, and her senses are several levels more sensitive than normal people.

Another thing is that she is very used to living in the water like a fish.

When she was a child, Liu Jiayi was often thrown into the weir pond by her father to catch fish. In order to catch enough fish, the man mercifully let her go. Evolves sentience like a fish.

She has always hated this ability she has, but this moment is an exception.

"No matter who made the decision to release the water." Liu Jiayi touched her face, she shook off the water droplets on her hand, her body sank and floated in the water, her tone was calm and indifferent," when he was about to use this water thing to torture Bai Liu , It is also convenient for me, a blind man, to use water to find him."

—————————

"—148, 149, 150—that's all, drain."

The door of [1087]'s room was closed, the walls on both sides of the corridor were loosened, and water overflowed from the gaps in the walls.

Bai Liu coughed and floated out of the water exhausted.

He knelt down on the ground with his head down, arched his body and coughed vigorously, and the wet white shirt stuck to his trembling shoulder blades.

After soaking in water, Bailiu's complexion would reveal an inorganic white. Because of the lack of oxygen, his fingertips were even bruised, and his chest was also violently heaving. The three-minute suffocation experience made him completely collapsed.

Soon Bai Liu was paralyzed, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were slack and he fell on his back to the ground, using his lungs to grab the oxygen that was not easy.

But it felt as if the oxygen could no longer enter his lungs through hard breathing, and Bai Liu looked like he was about to go into shock.

"How does it feel to be soaked in water for three minutes? Are you still used to it?"

Tang Er's voice came from the communicator in the hand of the patrolman at the end of the corridor unhurriedly: "It is said that the person who holds the longest breath in the world can hold it for 13 minutes, do you want to try Bai Liu?"

"Does it remind you of any bad memories?" Tang Er's voice was hoarse, "Have you figured out how to explain the plan of dried rose leaves gas?"

"Death cannot make you compromise at all. You are not afraid of death at all, so I will not threaten you with death. Now I will give you two choices. The first one is to honestly explain the solution of dried rose leaves and gas. A sum of money that satisfies you, and if you don’t go back on your word and do what you should do honestly, we won’t interfere with you again.”

"The second option is that I will lock you up with this [Swallowing Spring], and I will drain the water for you every one and a half to three minutes. You can't die, but you have to keep going Soaking in water, you should be familiar with this feeling of suffocation, right?"

Tang Erda gave a chuckle with unknown meaning, and his tone sank: "After all, the director of the private orphanage liked to educate you like this. You are too bad. You have been weirdly bad since you were a child. She wanted to bring you back Right way, so I often educate you like this.”

"It's a pity that no matter how harshly she educates you, you will not change, and you will not show any expression. As a person who naturally likes to torture others, Bai Liu, you should understand very well that educating such a child is a must. It makes people feel very unfulfilling." Tang Erda dragged out the tone, he was as peaceful as if he was teaching a death row prisoner.

Bai Liu put his arms over his eyes to cover the glaring white light of the top light, his breathing gradually weakened.

Tang Erda continued: "So she changed many methods, and finally found the torture method that you will struggle with, that is to let yourself—"

Tang Erda's words were interrupted, it was the voice of Lu Yizhan who was struggling hard, he roared hoarsely, trying to cover Tang Erda's voice, don't let him continue: "Stop it!! He has forgotten !! Don’t let him think about it again!!”

But Tang Erda raised his volume, and continued to speak coldly, his voice was like an extremely sharp thorn, piercing hard into Bai Liu's brain that was still blank and drowsy after being suffocated.

Bai Liu frowned in a rare way, he subconsciously rejected what Tang Erda was saying, this rejection even made his head hurt like it was about to split open.

"Have you forgotten all about Bai Liu?! No one pushed you into the water at all! It was you who kept burying your head in it!!"

"Because someone took the blame for the bad things you did, and someone accepted the punishment from those teachers in order to protect you, but the teachers missed when they punished him, and he was tortured in the process of being continuously pressed into the bottom of the water Had to drown in the pond of the orphanage."

"His body sank to the bottom of the water, and you kept burying your head in to look at his body at the bottom of the water, trying to pull him out."

Tang Erda's tone sank to the bottom: "—Bai Liu, why are you afraid of water? You are not afraid of water at all. You are afraid of seeing corpses in the water. Do you remember who he is?!"

Lu Yizhan struggled with all his strength, trying to stop Tang Er's attack, his voice was piercing: "Don't tell him!!!"

Tang Erda's tone was low: "His original name is Xie Ta, but in this timeline, you have forgotten him and regarded him as Lu Yizhan."

"Do you still remember the face of Scheta you saw when you were submerged, whether it was by your side accompanying you, or staring at you from the bottom of the water!"

"Really Scheta has already died for you, you remind me!"

Thanks...ta...?

In the feeling of suffocation on the verge of death, Bai Liu saw a dazzling white light.

In the white light flashed countless memories that Bai Liu had long been evading and forgetting intentionally or unintentionally.

Memories turned into fragments and came one after another in the white light, broken like a picture book that was torn apart, scattered into pieces, black and white, or the corners of the colored pages, on which there was another person he had forgotten Fragmentary silhouette.

Then, in Tang Erda's cold voice, these blurred or forgotten corners of memory were reassembled in Bai Liu's mind into a complete picture page by page, and then it was like a revolving door before death, It began to play back frame by frame with the noise of the long time before his eyes.

Human memory can deceive the master.

When you can't bear the intense emotions carried in the memory, the memory will be automatically corrected intimately, allowing the owner to pretend that nothing happened with a disguise and continue to live peacefully.

In layman's terms, it is self-deception.

The memory is automatically cut into an acceptable appearance for Bai Liu, stored in Bai Liu's brain, and will not easily change back to its original appearance until the last moment.

The honest and honest Lu Yizhan's face was erased in the white light of the long memory, and turned into another face, Bai Liu's familiar yet unfamiliar face.

The frame of that face was beautiful, but it always seemed to let the long, somewhat curly hair hang down to cover his eyes, but the exposed lips were still beautiful and delicate, which was a very eye-catching appearance.

He turned his head to look at Bai Liu from his forgotten memory, and softly called his name, Bai Liu, long time no see.
