Tang Er was so angry that he was about to faint: "Let go of Lu Yizhan! You don't even know how dangerous Bai Liu is!"
Lu Yizhan suddenly became serious: "I guarantee with my life that Bai Liu has never done anything illegal or criminal in his life so far."
Tang Erda's eyes were red: "That's up to now, don't you understand that Bai Liu is a natural criminal type?!"
"As long as you give him a little opportunity and soil, he will definitely commit an irreparable crime. You are also a policeman. Don't you know how to deal with such a person?!"
"...kill crime, control behavior and observe motives." Lu Yizhan replied after a short silence.
"Control and observation can be removed." Tang Er's breathing became heavier and his tone was extremely cold, "At the Bureau of Heresy Handling, we have only one way to deal with extremely dangerous and uncontrollable heresies, and that is to strangle them."
After speaking, Tang Erda's arm loosened from Lu Yizhan for a moment, and he broke free from his restraint.
Tang Er twisted his backhand and held Lu Yizhan's arm, turned it down hard, Lu Yizhan let go in pain, Tang Er turned his offensive, elbowed Lu Yizhan's neck with his backhand, and swung his left hand without hesitation He fired a shot at Bai Liu who was standing opposite.
Lu Yizhan, who was stuck in the neck, struggled with all his strength. He held Tang Erda's hand with both hands, kicked him in the corridor, and knocked Tang Erda over with his waist and gun.
Tang Er fired the gun and missed the aim, the bullet hit the metal wall in the corridor, there was a crackling sound of rebounding and the heart-piercing roar of the landing post station rushed towards Bai Liu: "Bai Liu!! Get down!!!"
The bullet grazed Bai Liu's ear, and hit the door of [0001] behind him. It was very strange, it didn't make any sound, and fell limply to the ground.
Tang Erda's eyes and movements were bloody: "Do you know what you must save?!"
He exerted force with his hands, separated the index finger and middle finger to lock the bone one inch below Lu Yizhan's Adam's apple, and lifted it up. Lu Yizhan unconsciously released the hands that held Tang Erda under the suffocation. The right arm of Lu Yizhan, who was tightly wrapped around him, was bent around, and his knee was hard on the back of Lu Yizhan's head.
Lu Yizhan had a big forehead, and was hit by Tang Er and directly knelt on one knee on the occiput and pressed him to the ground. He felt that his front teeth were shaken loose by Tang Er's hard blow.
As expected, Tang Er had saved his strength just now, but now he has no strength to struggle...
Lu Yizhan's mouth was full of soreness, blood oozed from the gap between his loose teeth, flowed to the ground, and smeared on his face.
Bai Liu was blocked at the entrance of the corridor, Tang Erda raised his gun at him again, Bai Liu held the coin in his chest calmly, and squinted at Lu Yizhan, which was controlled by Tang Erda——
——Although he promised Lu Yizhan not to use these monsters easily, but the current situation is not easy, right?
But when he used it just now, Bai Liu clearly felt that he had been consumed a lot, as if his life force had been drained away, he quickly weakened, and he didn't know what would happen if he used it again...
Lu Yizhan saw Bai Liu's small movement of holding the coin, and he couldn't hold back the fuck, trying to get up on the floor: "Bai Liu! Don't use that!! Don't summon those monsters again!"
A black figure with a very fast figure suddenly rushed out of the dark corridor behind him. Tang Er reacted very quickly. The upper movement was interrupted very quickly, seeing that the black shadow was about to steal his gun, but Tang Erda moved faster than him, and smashed it with the butt of the gun with his backhand.
The black shadow was hit right on the ground, let out a low "fuck", and quickly retreated into the shadows.
"?!" Lu Yizhan, who was lying on the ground, was taken aback and screamed, "Didn't I tell you not to summon monsters!"
Bai Liu innocently shrugged: "I don't have it, I haven't had time yet, these [monsters] came out of themselves."
Mu Sicheng walked out of the shadows, he wiped the blood stains on his face with his thumb from the butt of the gun, lowered his eyebrows and looked at Bai Liu at the end, impatiently: "Who do you call a monster?!"
With a gun in his hand, he was aiming at Tang Er.
Being pointed at with a gun like this, Tang Erda remained calm: "It really is you, the thief Mu Sicheng."
As soon as the action of stealing the gun and hooking the hand just came out, Tang Erda reacted instantly - this is the standard action of the [Capuchin Monkey Thief] under the Bailiu team. He was once hooked by the opponent when he was chasing Steal a gun.
Then the other party played around with the gun on his finger viciously, and at the same time used the gun from his hand to kill all the team members who were chasing him with Tang Erda.
Walking out of the shadows was Mu Ke who pointed a gun at him. Liu Jiayi stood beside Mu Ke and looked at Tang Erda with an expressionless face.
Trader Mu Ke, little witch Liu Jiayi, capuchin monkey thief Mu Sicheng—Tang Erda looked around slowly, they were all his old acquaintances.
———One core member is still missing, and Bai Liu's [Wandering Circus] is complete.
Five years later, these guys will be trained by Bai Liu to become the best mad dogs under Bai Liu, and they will become those monsters in Tang Erda's memory.
——A thief who can steal his gun with a single hook, the fourth little witch on the king's list, and Mu Ke, when he started to investigate Bai Liu who was hiding behind Mu Ke, the accumulated wealth of this person had already arrived An incredible situation.
There is also the craziest team member, the [Clown Shooter] who slaughtered his entire team in the league, the son of an arms smuggler in reality, he was a wanted criminal all over the world before he entered the game, and he was a member of every major terrorist organization. Connected.
——It was also this [Clown Sniper] who, in the very beginning of the timeline, cooperated with Bai Liu to kill Su Chao with a silver bullet.
But now, nothing happened.
These omnipotent monsters who will do evil in the future are still all cubs, and they haven't grown to the point where many people's lives will be used to write the crimes they committed. They haven't grown to the point where the people he is familiar with, In pain, she knelt down in front of the tombstone and wept.
Now, these evil, prototypes of monsters are all locked in this bottomless cage by him. He only needs to lightly fire a shot, and those futures that he can't avoid will never be seen again. will come.
Tang Er's out-of-focus eyes shifted from the drenched and dirty Liu Jiayi's body to the bloodstained face of Mu Sicheng's face holding the gun in a substandard posture, and then to Mu Sicheng's tense face, The gun was aimed firmly at his Mu Ke's hand.
In the end, he looked at Bai Liu who was standing in front of the heretic [0001].
Everyone is no longer what Tang Erda remembers, they are too weak, too thin, just like in Tang Erda's memory, they killed all directions is just an illusion he fabricated to comfort himself, but this kind of thinking is watching The moment he reached Bai Liu, he was completely shattered.
Only Bai Liu has not changed, he is still exactly the same as Tang Erda remembers in all timelines, very simple and cheap white shirt and suit pants, thin figure, and those dark eyes that do not reflect light.
Bai Liu looked down at Tang Erda calmly, his eyes were as dark as the night sky that would never see the day again, he stared at him like an abyss watching an incompetent hunter.
It was a very strange feeling.
Tang Erda has too many memories, he can't remember how many timelines he has experienced, and there are too many painful memories in his mind, so that he is almost unable to remember most of the events.
But he still has these black eyes from Bai Liu that are submerged in countless memories in his mind.
Bai Liu is like an indestructible and invincible evil god, always in the deepest part of the last memory of the story, watching Tang Erda calmly with such a little smile in his eyes, as if looking at his unattainable With pity, I said, no matter how hard you struggle, you can't get the result you want, and you can't save the person you want to save.
Those people who died countless times reached out and grabbed Tang Erda's wrists and ankles, trying to drag him into the abyss and hell, and they howled at him—Captain! ! Kill him! ! Avenge us! !
These memories were played back repeatedly in every area of Tang Erda's brain that could arouse his emotional feedback, and finally mixed into a gray-black, indistinguishable, mixed memory called everyone's hatred - no longer It was Tang Er who hit someone's memory.
It seems that there are many dead people living in his mind and beside him at the same time, all the time, every minute and every second, lying in Tang Erda's ear with blood and tears whispering—Captain, why don't you I revenge?
Have you forgotten about us?
Forget the team members who died for you, forget the meaning of your own existence, forget why you set foot on this road?
This kind of non-stop, the anger gathered from everyone will reach its peak at the second when Tang Erda sees Bai Liu in each timeline.
It was as if these resentful spirits that had been haunting him had possessed him unstoppably at that moment, hoarsely yelling at Bai Liu, why did you do that! !
Wouldn't it hurt you to commit such a heinous crime against innocent people and see these ordinary people struggle so much because of what you brought? !
This is what Tang Erda questioned Bai Liu when he caught him for the first time.
He was far less calm than he is now facing Bai Liu, or Tang Erda couldn't keep calm at all. The only thought in his mind was to shoot Bai Liu who was sitting in the interrogation room with one shot.
The members of nearly two detachments died before they grabbed this guy to the base, and other members of the [Wandering Circus] captured some members and left.
And every minute and every second during the interrogation of Bai Liu, the surviving team members who have returned to the base will receive videos of those captured team members being tortured to extract confessions.
Those captured alive suffer crimes worse than death. They were submerged in water, their faces were cut with knives, their feet were shackled with fire, their permanent teeth were pulled out, their thumbs were cut off and stuffed into their mouths and forced to chew, and their ten thumbnails were torn off. But it won't let them die.
Just watching that kind of video, no one will feel that survival is a blessing, whether it is for the players who have returned to the base, or for the players who have not returned to the base.
The face of the clown appeared in the video, and he was grinning. He mentioned the hair of a team member who was tortured so badly that he could no longer see the human form while sitting on the torture chair, and said that if he wanted your team members, he could take ours. Boss, let's change it.
Half of this team member's face was completely peeled off, and Tang Erda couldn't forget the other half in his dreams.
All his back teeth have been pulled out, the nails have been cut off from the hands tied to the torture chair, the bones protruding from the fingertips can be seen, the uniform on his body has been completely wet with blood, and his whole body is unconscious The ground convulsed and trembled, and the work ID card on his chest was also stained with blood. The word Su could be vaguely seen, and the other characters were all soaked in blood.
As if he suddenly remembered something, the clown grabbed his hair, turned the half-faced face of the team member on the torture chair to the camera, and said with a smile, oh, I forgot to tell you the identity of the person who was punished this time. This is the deputy captain of the third team, Su Chao.
Su Chao raised his bloody face with difficulty, looked at the camera, and said dryly, Captain, you must be calm, and you can't follow their pace.
Tang Erda could hardly think. Standing in front of the video of Su Chao being abused, his eyes were filled with bloody white light.
He told himself that he must be calm, calm, that he could not lynch prisoners without evidence, that he needed to uphold judicial justice, and that was what Su Chao was telling him, and that was how Su Chao hoped that he would stick to his bottom line and maintain It is the final boundary between humans and monsters.
There is no difference between the law enforcement officer who lost his cool and began to abuse the prisoner, and the clown who abused the team members.
Tang Erda wished he could directly kill Bai Liu who was sitting on the opposite chair and was still smiling casually at him.
But the words that Su Chao said to him with blood all over his face turned into invisible bandages and tied him to the chair. Tang Erda could only keep his eyes red and kept his distance, screaming and questioning Bai Liu. This vicious behind-the-scenes messenger who controls everything.
The veins popped up on Tang Er's forehead, and he questioned Bai Liu viciously: "The money and wealth you have are enough for you to spend a few lifetimes casually, why do you continue to do such things that hurt others, just for profit, you To actually smuggle evil into the world!!”
And Bai Liu curled up his lips, his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair and his fingers intertwined in front of him, with silver handcuffs hanging on his wrists.
He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, tilted his head slightly to look at Tang Erda opposite, and repeated Tang Erda's painting with a smile: "Why did I smuggle evil into the world?"
He stood up on the table, leaned forward and looked down at Tang Erda, who was fixed on the chair by a certain sense of oppression, and slipped out the coin and the pendant of the reverse cross from the shirt on his chest. His eyes dangled irregularly.
Tang Er put his hands on his lower back vigilantly, he looked up at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes: "Officer, why did I smuggle evil into the world? Of course, it is because many people in the world are buying evil from me."
"I don't do things that don't benefit me, but in general, I'm just a link in the evil supply chain. What you should really sanction should not be me, the smuggler, but those who keep greedy from me. Buy evil humans, without them, there would be no me."
Tang Er held his breath and looked at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu sat back slowly again: "Why don't you sanction those people?"
"Is it because there are too many of them? They are so large that they already constitute more than half of the ordinary people you want to protect? The law does not punish the public, police officer, I understand this."
Bai Liu raised his eyelids: "When cigarettes became popular, many people opposed them, from the government to many ordinary people who had a clear understanding of this thing, but no matter how high the tax, how strong the exclusion measures, Even if it is printed on every cigarette box that smoking is harmful to health, this kind of refreshing, slightly addictive, and harmful to health substance has become the most circulated daily pastime item on the market One of them, it provides a fairly high tax revenue for most of the countries in the world."
As Bai Liu spoke softly, his eyes glanced at Tang Erda's chest pocket—half of a cigarette case was exposed inside.
Tang Erda was swept away by Bai Liu's light eyes, and subconsciously squeezed his cigarette case tightly.
"Look, you are also fascinated by this kind of thing." Bai Liu chuckled, and he spread his hands, "Sir, don't you think you are a double standard? You can't resist the charm of cigarettes yourself, how can you ask for ordinary cigarettes? The public resists the charm of dried rose leaf gas? There is no fundamental difference between the two, they are both refreshing, slightly addictive, and relatively harmful to health.”
"These two things are not the same at all!" Tang Erda retorted angrily, "Don't secretly change the concept white six for me! I can quit smoking, but quitting this kind of thing will kill people! They will withered!!"
Bai Liu finally laughed happily from the bottom of his heart, and looked at Tang Erda calmly: "You know, when cigarettes first became popular, many people popularized science and said they couldn't quit, so Don't touch it, have you seen a few people who can really quit smoking?"
"You are now swearing that you can quit cigarettes. Isn't it because you want to use the act of smoking cigarettes to find an excuse for a sense of security? They quit rose dry leaves and the gas will wither. Don't you quit cigarettes? Don't you Do you feel extremely irritable because you want to smoke and your status drops?"
"You will be immersed in this state all your life, and you need to resist this addiction all the time. Do you think this kind of addiction can really be counted in the category of [can quit]?"
Bai Liu smiled and looked directly at Tang Erda.
Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu's loose black eyes, and he didn't say a single word.
Bai Liu withdrew his gaze, and he continued unhurriedly: "So on the basis of not being able to quit, as long as the supply is maintained, this thing is the same as cigarettes, it can refresh your mind and increase everyone's productivity. Bringing cheap, easy-to-get happiness."
\"Do you really think anyone would say no to this stuff? No, profitable capitalists will automatically promote this stuff to increase employee productivity, and eventually it will become as important as coffee. "
Tang Erda's breathing became short of breath.
Bai Liu looked at him with pity: "As long as this kind of thing spreads widely, these people who are used to it will start to automatically find reasonable excuses for its existence, just like cigarettes. There are also many big, Countries where marijuana is legal, their Christmas gifts are marijuana, and they celebrate the day of the birth of God with this evil item given by the devil."
"They may also feel that this kind of thing is wrong at first, but now you look at them, they have begun to feel that they have the freedom to enjoy these things, they are nobler than us, and they start to sympathize with us in turn, I believe you have seen it, Officer Tang .”
"Even if you print the label [Smell you will die] on the dried rose leaves, they will just tear it off as if nothing happened, and then immerse themselves in the fragrance of roses."
Tang Erda looked at the red warning words [Smoking is harmful to health] on his cigarette package, his eyes were tearing apart.
"It's not me you want to stop, it's these depraved human beings." Bai Liu whispered softly, "I've told them to be careful of roses, but they still voluntarily become puppets of evil and are willing to wither for them. How can you do that? Is it my fault, Inspector?"
"Team Tang!!" The door of the interrogation room was slammed open, and a team member glanced at the leisurely Bai Liu with an extremely ugly expression, and finally his gaze fell on Tang Erda's face, with a difficult tone, " Something went wrong, come out and have a look..."
As soon as Tang Er walked out of the interrogation room, the team members outside all bowed their heads as if in silence, some of the team members had red eyes and gritted their teeth.
"What happened?" Tang Erda forced himself to calm down, "Did the other side send a new video?"
One team member smiled wryly: "No, it's worse than that, Team Tang, our arrest of the behind-the-scenes producer of dried rose leaf gas was exposed on the Internet, and now... the topic was initiated by many people and boycotted."
"What does it mean to be boycotted?" Tang Erda asked calmly.
"Being boycotted is..." The reporting team member took a deep breath, and his eyes began to turn red, "They don't want us to arrest the producers of dried rose leaf gas, they want to legalize this thing, and many people know that The harm of this thing, more and more people are beginning to indulge in the aroma of this thing..."
"They feel that the producers are reasonable and should not be brutally arrested by us. They feel that the harm of this kind of thing is not as great as what we said. On the contrary, it can bring great benefits..."
The team members reported numbly: "Workers can finish their work faster after using it, students can easily get better test scores after using it, women can become self-disciplined and beautiful after using it, and men can become more beautiful after using it. It is strong, and the elderly can even alleviate some diseases after using it. Even if this kind of thing has sequelae, there is no need to resist it at all. I still think that we are...we are..."
Tang Erda looked over emotionlessly: "What do you think we are?"
"I feel that we...are preventing ordinary people like them from enjoying things that only the privileged class can enjoy. They are...running dogs." The team members gritted their teeth, "Because many people think that the rich are wantonly posting themselves on the Internet After the Internet police deleted the video of using this perfume, the public also spread it privately, and we couldn’t stop it at all.”
"And these people are still keeping pace, saying that we will stop the production of this perfume at any time..."
Tang Erda closed his eyes: "We have issued a statement, explaining that many of these wealthy people they thought were buyers and marketers of prescriptions for this perfume, this is likely to be their means of publicity and marketing, Is it just to encourage impulsive consumption by ordinary people like them?"
"Sent it." The team member smiled wryly, "but no one believed us at all."
"There is another very important reason. After using this kind of perfume, you can't stop using it. Some people who have been polluted are afraid that we will stop the production of the factory directly, so they start spraying this kind of perfume in public places, semi-forced. Force other people to be polluted by this perfume...and once polluted by this perfume, people's judgment will drop very badly, as if they are going crazy, and they will fall into an irrational obsession with this kind of thing, and they will start Join the boycott against us..."
"Captain, many people who have been polluted are sitting in front of the government and the government, demanding that our department be banned..."
"Captain, the video is still being sent over there! What should we do?!"
"Captain, the contaminated team members are starting to wither, does Bai Liu really know how to deal with this thing?!"
"team leader……"
"team leader……"
Tang Er stared blankly over the anxious, frightened, and resentful faces of the team members who surrounded him. He looked at them in a daze all the way, and finally settled in the small window of the interrogation room. That bland face.
In the small window, Bai Liu turned his head to look at him, those dark, light-absorbing eyes just looked at him calmly, smiled, and mouthed to him:
"Captain Tang, Rose, does it smell good?"
An ear-piercing scream pierced his eardrums, and a team member staggered and collapsed holding the computer: "Captain!! The clown is killing people!!"
Tang Erda felt that he was fixed in front of the computer screen at a loss, and almost unconsciously opened the small video sent this time. In the video, the clown's funny oil paint face had an exaggerated smile. He held up a The gun was aimed at a man limp on the ground with bloody flesh, and a playful voice sounded like a mechanical broadcast at the beginning of a game:
"Small game against team members, ready—go!"
"Bang!" A shot hit the palm of his right hand, and the person on the ground couldn't help but raised his head and covered his hand and let out a hoarse cry of pain.
"Bang!" Hit the left ankle.
"Bang!" Right hand.
"Bang!" Left hand.
"Bang!" Calf.
Every time the person who was hit was shot, he trembled as if he couldn't control the pain reaction. He could feel that he had tried his best to control himself not to make a sound or react. He didn't want himself to be photographed and sent to these When in front of the team members, his pain response made these players shake and suffer.
But halfway through, almost all the team members turned their heads away with red eyes, only Tang Erda, as if in a daze, stared at the screen tightly without taking his eyes off.
The clown switched to the brakes twice before aiming the last shot at the man's head.
The clown stepped on the back of the man who had been beaten like a mass of rotten meat, grabbed his face by the hair and lifted him up, and pointed the half-faced face at the screen. After the camera focused successfully What I saw was a shocking scene of blood, valgus, scorched flesh, and wounds that were still dripping blood. Those eyes, which were always gentle, were now devoid of expression, their eyelids were drooping, and their eyelashes were stained with splashes from their own body. minced flesh and blood.
The only word [Su] that can be seen on the work card on his chest was completely stained red by the blood dripping from his face.
"From now on, if you don't release Bai Liu, I will kill one of your team members every hour, starting with him." The clown laughed and aimed the gun at the back of Su Chao's head.
Su Chao blinked his eyes twice very slowly, his dry lips moved, his breathing was so weak that he couldn't see it: "...Don't be taken away by him, captain, you must save those, polluted people."
"boom---!!"
Blood spattered in Tang Erda's eyes.
