Bai Liu simply commented: "It sounds like something I would do in other timelines."
Tang Er shot him a look: "If this is the only way, then it's just an insignificant item among your many criminal records."
He paused: "I can't remember until now."
Bai Liu turned to look at Tang Erda: "What else happened later?"
"...Georgia regained her senses after Armand's death, but Armand's avenging death devastated him again, Georgia was devastated, wanted to work but couldn't do it properly, and the Office of Heresy had to Forced him to take a long vacation..."
"After the vacation, Georgia locked herself in Armand's room and sat for a whole day. I visited him a few times, tried to talk to him, and asked Bai Liu what he did. , but he just lost his mind and talked to himself——should not be like this, I see that the future is not like this, death should be me, should be the world other people, not Armand..."
Tang Er fell silent for a moment, then he bit his cigarette holder and raised his head to look at the whiteboard with the words [Golden Dawn]:
"Later I asked his colleagues, did Georgia tell Bai Liu what he did? His colleagues told me that Georgia said that Bai Liu gave him a glimpse of [the future]."
"No one knows how Georgia saw [the future], but what happened next exceeded my expectations."
Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu: "Bai Liu successively destroyed six secret strongholds of the Heresy Handling Bureau, and robbed many high-risk heretics we housed. Although we also succeeded in killing the clowns who came to destroy the heresies, we still The loss was heavy.”
"But the most terrible thing is not to lose this matter, but how did Bai Liu know that the Heresy Management Bureau is a secret stronghold, a high-risk stronghold for detaining a special first-class red heretic The specific geographical location has been encrypted by various layers of torture and heresy, and only Georgia knows it, and it cannot be easily said."
"—Unless it is said that Georgia completely trusts someone, and in Georgia's heart, this person will only be Armand."
Tang Erda sighed softly: "Although we don't want to believe that Georgia will betray the Administration of Heresy and tell Bai Liu the location of the secret stronghold, out of caution, we started to investigate Georgia."
"Georgia passed 127 rounds of balance testing. We confirmed that he hates Bai Liu and will never betray the Heresy Administration and betray peace and justice. But in the end, all parties weighed and temporarily retained Georgia's position. , and also transferred the investigation of the open-faced Georgia investigation to the underground."
"Besides the game, the Georgia investigation has hit a bottleneck, but in the game, I saw that there is suddenly a reserve member wearing a mask in the Bailiu team. He has strong attack power and kills coldly and decisively. A killing machine, his shape and height are very similar to Georgia in all aspects, but what makes me suspicious most is his skills."
Tang Er stared at Bai Liu for a long time, then turned to the side to take a puff of cigarette, and said in a low voice, "He has a skill called a bow and arrow, which is called a backtracking bow, which can travel back in time to three years. hours ago."
"The time interval between Armand's death and the time we found the body was exactly three hours."
Tang Er took two deep breaths: "I found Georgia and asked how many new reserve players in the White Six team, whether I want him or not, he admitted."
"I don't understand why he chose to join the Bailiu team. Georgia has passed the balance test. I'm sure he hates Bailiu deep down and yearns for peace and justice, but I don't know why. I am willing to be a bow and arrow for Bai Liushou."
"So I asked him why, and Georgia said that no matter how hard he tried to undo it, it wasn't going to lead to a future of peace and justice, or a future in which Armand would exist. , he wants to correct this future, and only Bai Liu has the means to correct this future."
"So even though he hates Bai Liu terribly, he is willing to be a bow in Bai Liu's hand that is stained with innocent people's blood for the correct future. When Armand returns to his future, he will To die for one's own sins is the right future."
During the conversation, the cigarette of Tang Er's thug had burned to the end, Bai Liu handed over an ashtray, opened his eyelids and looked at Tang Er who suddenly fell silent: "Finally, Georgia is on this world line. What's the ending?"
Without saying a word, Tang Erda extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray that Bai Liu handed over, and turned around to see the last smoke ring in Bai Liu's throat: "He and Bai Liu won the league and got a wish, I don’t know what wish he made, but he committed suicide the next day.”
"Georgia died at the location where Armand died, and we found his body three hours later."
—————
"I hope Armand can be resurrected in the correct future."
In her sleep, Georgia saw herself covered in blood, kneeling in front of a mass of invisible light and making a wish. He had a rusty silver streamlined longbow by his side.
He vaguely realized that there was a very extraordinary existence in the ball of light in front of him—a bright existence.
ask him: "Don't you need to live in the correct future?"
Georgia saw herself shaking: "I don't deserve that kind of future, I made an improper choice, and I should be responsible for it, death is now the future I should have. "
So he asked him again: "You are a good winner, don't you want others to exist in the correct future?"
Georgia shook her head again: "Wrong, in the future, everyone and every choice in this world will lead to it together, just like I should be responsible for my improper choices. Everyone is like this, and they should bear a cruel future for their indulged desires."
Then he said: "Armand is the same. You are conniving at his mistakes and giving him a right future after he made a wrong choice."
"This is your selfishness and lust, Georgia, this is your injustice."
Georgia closed his eyes and hung in silence for a long time, blood fell from his long eyelashes to the ground, like tears of pity for himself.
"Hey, as a brother, I am selfish. I know he did something wrong, and he should be responsible for it. I just hope that all the sins are on me, not Armand."
"But I know it's impossible."
He said: "Both you and Armand should pay for your selfish desires and injustices."
"As a punishment, you will forever lose the future of owning Armand, and Armand will never have the future of owning your brother."
"Except for the moment when you were born, you will become brothers who will always go against each other."
Georgia wanted to wake up from this uneasy dream, but no matter how hard he struggled, the dream continued, becoming more fragmented and fragmented.
He saw that his posture was low and respectful, and he was half kneeling in front of a person hidden in the dark, while he was naked, and there were white nape of his neck, interlaced with dark red welts .
The man tidied up slowly, held a long black whip in his hand, lazily lifted Georgia's chin with the toes of his leather shoes, and in his dream, Georgia finally saw this man clearly. Face.
This man sat on a large leather chair, with a very handsome and harmless Asian face, with a very friendly smile on his face, and a casual tone of voice, as if chatting with him: "Georgia, I You are very satisfied."
"I know you don't intend to submit to me, but your grades are really excellent." Bai Liu lowered his eyes and used the handle of a long whip to lift Georgia's chin more and more with his toes .
Georgia's slender neck was lifted maliciously by Bai Liu as if playing with it, and it collapsed to the extreme, her Adam's apple slid down restrainedly, and the welt marks on the corner of her collarbone were extremely obvious.
"In one game, you can kill more than a dozen ordinary players who have nothing to do with you without hesitation, and you can also give me information about six secret strongholds. You have killed hundreds of them. The information about the team members is put in front of you, and you don’t even bat an eye.”
Bai Liu praised in a sigh-like tone: "Regardless of appearance or execution ability, you are as perfect as a machine."
"In the game, someone praised you as a beautiful elf without emotion." Bai Liu stretched out his thumb and stroked Georgia's expressionless face, "I agree with this very much, you are done I can’t see what the old Saint Noble and Captain Georgia looked like.”
"It really surprises me that the death of a close person can change you so much."
Bai Liu withdrew his hand, and held the whip thoughtfully: "I also experienced the same thing, but the only change it brought me was seeing your picture and your whip. When my younger brother looks too similar, I can't control my anger a little bit."
His voice was slack and shallow, making it impossible for anyone to expect that he would give Georgia a hard whip while he was speaking.
But kneeling down, Georgia seemed to be used to Bai Liuhui whipping him, so she trembled forbearance, then lowered her head and remained still.
"Let me think about it, when you shoot and kill those poor innocent people in the game this time, what is the most lethal point of attacking them?" Bai Liu asked lightly, "Trust us Captain Georgia You must remember, ?"
Georgia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he replied softly: "I remember."
Bai Liuban closed his eyes: "You should be punished for your brutal killing, take off your clothes."
Georgia stood up and obediently took off his clothes. His body was covered with all kinds of criss-cross welts that hadn't faded away, like poisonous snakes winding around his waist, abdomen and thighs. Wrapped around his white skin and spit out letters.
In his sleep, Georgia's breathing became short of breath-he realized in a trance that every welt mark meant that he had killed someone.
The man in front of him was torturing him.
This person knows that he will not suffer from the simple flogging of the flesh, but that he will suffer to the extreme from being impure, incorrect, and unjust.
So whenever they played a game, when Georgia killed someone on the field, this person would ask Georgia to report the name of the person he killed after the game, and that person was shot with an arrow. area, and then give Georgia a welt in the same position.
Bai Liu is using these scars and pain to constantly remind Georgia of a cruel fact: What you did to me is not as cruel as what those people did to you.
In order to cover up the welt marks, Georgia wore a uniform with a long collar and zipper that could be pulled up to the chin. After enduring Bai Liu’s emotional outburst this time, Georgia stood firm and put on her clothes, bowing respectfully After saluting to Bai Liu, he retreated into Bai Liu's room.
Georgia saw herself walking through the corridors without looking sideways, walked to the door of a certain room, opened it and walked in, and then immediately rushed into the toilet and vomited, in pain while vomiting. Scratching pain and welts all over his body.
He seemed to want to vomit something out of himself that made him loathe himself, but no matter what he could only vomit water, the forced vomiting finally caused Georgia's whole body to go into convulsions .
Georgia kept torturing himself in various ways. He even used a knife to make marks on those welts, trying to deepen these marks to punish himself. Georgia gasped silently and tears kept pouring down.
In the end Georgia saw himself exhausted on the bed, curled up in a ball holding a pocket watch, he seemed to want to open the pocket watch, but in the end he just kissed the pocket watch and closed it tightly. With tears in his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
Georgia knew this pocket watch, and he knew that there was an old photo of Armand and him in the pocket watch.
———————
Bai Liu sent Tang Er out of the room, and they chatted while walking in the street.
"I'm curious. You found out that Georgia betrayed the Administration of Heresy, and you must have told the Administration of Heresy immediately." Bai Liu turned sideways and looked at Tang Erda, "How will the Administration of Heresy deal with him?"
Tang Er shrugged and put on his coat, then turned around: "First, Georgia's position was banned, and then he began to investigate the reason for Georgia's betrayal. As a result, this investigation has just begun, and Georgia defected."
"At that time, there were two theories in the Administration of Heretics. The first one said that Georgia was polluted by Bai Liu with some kind of heresy, and that Jing's dimensionality reduction would be controlled by Bai Liu."
"But this kind of argument can't explain the fact that Georgia told Bai Liu the location of the secret stronghold - even if Georgia is crazy, if Bai Liu can't make crazy Georgia trust him 100%, he can't get it from Georgia The location of the secret stronghold."
"There is another theory, some people speculate..." At this point, Tang Erda hesitated strangely, and his face became distorted, "Some people speculate that Georgia fell in love with you because of the Stockholm plot, so It will be completely controlled by you."
Bai Liu raised her eyebrows: "You guys are quite gossipy."
"...This is not gossip. In order to find out the truth, we have to hypothesize from various angles." Tang Erda defended with difficulty, then glanced at Bai Liu, and added subtly, "At that time, this kind of theory would prevail. There is another reason, Georgia always has some inexplicable whip marks on her body, and your... Bai Liu's weapon happens to be a long whip."
Bai Liu: "..."
Does he play such a fierce game in other timelines?
