"Now there are only the last two coordinate points left." Wu Ruishu pushed his glasses seriously, "I personally prefer this isolated island on the sea, which is also our next goal."
"If my guess is correct, we will face Bai Liu and the bunch of heretics he kept in captivity head-on on this isolated island. I hope everyone will be prepared tonight and have a good rest. We will leave tomorrow and the meeting will end."
"yes!"
After the meeting.
After two years of high-paced search, Lu Yizhan has long been used to lying on the bed one second, and fully armed and setting off in the next second. In short, there is no second that belongs to him.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, when he could have a simple respite, or a night of rest, Lu Yizhan was a little dazed, not knowing what to do.
He unconsciously walked to Yu Fu's infirmary.
This infirmary is already vacant, and Lu Yizhan occasionally comes over to take a nap and stand for a while, smoking a cigarette to calm down.
Yes, that's right, he learned to smoke.
One team is non-smoking, Fang Dian once caught Lu Yizhan who was hiding in Yu Fu's infirmary to smoke, and stared at him silently for a while with deep eyes, as if examining him.
Lu Yizhan was so scared that he almost flew away, but after a while, Fang Dian reached out to him and asked with a smile, "Is there any more? Give me one."
Fang took the cigarette, put it up skillfully, lowered his head and leaned against Yu Fu's infirmary with him, smoking quietly.
The smoke covered her face and passed over the neckline of her uniform, scattering endless smoke and dust, and then Lu Yizhan heard Fang Dian whispering with a smile, and suddenly said: "The order to ban smoking in a team is Yu Fu and Others passed behind my back."
"Actually, it was an order for me. I smoked too much. They thought it was bad for my body. They always said that I was not killed by heresy, but smoked to death by myself."
"I didn't expect that." Fang Dian turned his head and looked at the dazed Lu Yizhan with a smile, "They were killed by heretics before I had time to die."
Fang Dian almost smoked a cigarette in a few puffs, and then reached out to Lu Yizhan naturally: "One more."
"No, no more." Lu Yizhan stammered, "The one just now was the last one."
Fang Dian raised her eyes, and with a faint smile, she swept across the cigarette that hadn't moved much before Lu Yizhan's mouth, then naturally stretched out her hand to take out the cigarette, and waved it in front of Lu Yizhan : "Mind if I smoke this one?"
"No, I don't mind!" Lu Yizhan's expression was blank, he felt that he was about to ascend to heaven.
"Thank you! I'm a bit addicted to cigarettes." Fang Dian patted Lu Yizhan's shoulder carelessly. She took the cigarette in her mouth, gently bit the cigarette holder with her teeth, lowered her head and lit the cigarette with a lighter .
The light from the lighter shone flickeringly on Fang Dian's side face, giving off a kind of softness.
"Smoking is actually a degenerate behavior." Lu Yizhan heard Fang Dian say softly, "I often wonder if the cigarette is a kind of low-harm addictive heresy that Bai Liu packaged and released. Slow, silent corrosion of people."
Fang Dian gently exhaled a puff of white smoke: "Like me."
"It is difficult for people to contend with their own negative desires. I understand this. I can't even quit smoking, but it is a bit ridiculous to expect to win Bailiu."
Fang Dian lowered her head, and she smiled softly: "But in this world, as long as there is one person who wants me to quit smoking, every smoker has someone who wants them to quit."
"—then I won't lose."
Fang Dian finished his last puff, smiled and waved to Lu Yizhan: "Quit smoking, Lu Yizhan."
After that, Lu Yizhan didn't sneak over to smoke for a long time, but maybe the night before the departure was too emotional, Lu Yizhan couldn't hold it back, he came here again, and couldn't help giving himself some smoke. Lit up a cigarette.
As a result, as soon as he ordered, the door of the infirmary behind him was opened, and when Lu Yizhan, who was smoking a cigarette, looked back, he saw Fang Dian greeted him with a smile, and walked to him very naturally: "And Do you want one?"
Lu Yizhan: "..."
Why does this woman who says she wants to quit smoking take it for granted every time she asks him for a cigarette?
Fang Dian looked up at him, her eyes reflected the moonlight outside the window, bright and clear, with a slight smile on her face, the wind gently swayed the ponytail on the back of her head, and said: "Long It's a lot taller, Lu Yizhan, when you joined the team, you were about the same height as Xiao Wu, now I have to look up to you."
"The performance in the team is also good, you have grown completely."
As if expecting that he would see a party asking him for cigarettes here, Lu Yizhan actually brought a pack of cigarettes here, but at this moment, the moment he heard that sentence, Lu Yizhan made a mistake. Said: "...There is no more, only one."
He knew what Fang Dian would do when there was only one.
She would directly take the cigarette from his lips to smoke, so that one after another...
But before he could finish thinking, Lu Yizhan's pupils shrank.
Fang Dian stretched out two fingers to draw out the cigarette from his lips, then took a step forward, tiptoed slightly, wrapped his arms around the back of his neck, closed his eyes and kissed him.
— Kissed.
The wind blew in from the window and blew on Lu Yizhan's blank side face and Fang Dian's face with closed eyes for about fifteen seconds. He put a new cigarette he brought over on his lips and sipped it, and stuffed the cigarette next to Lu Yizhan's mouth back for him.
Lu Yi thought slowly in a daze——
Ah, Fang Dian saw that I brought new cigarettes.
Then she must know that I just said that only one is tricking her into kissing me, so why don't you just kiss me directly...
No matter how you think about it, can't you? ! What a strange logic this is!
So why are you kissing me! ! ! !
"Like me for a long time?" Fang Dian said suddenly.
Lu Yizhan subconsciously stood up straight: "Two years, three months and eight days!"
"At that time..." Fang Dian touched his chin, "You fell in love with me at first sight?"
Lu Yizhan was sweating profusely, and his face was flushed: "...Yes, yes, when did Team Fang find out?"
Fang Dian lowered his head and thought about it seriously: "When you join the team."
Lu Yizhan: "!!!"
so early! !
A strange sense of shame welled up in Lu Yizhan's heart. He covered his hot face with his hands, wishing he could dig a hole and bury it in there: "Then why did Fang Fang lose his temper when my weapon was an epee before?" The team pretends not to know that I like you..."
"You didn't say it directly, and it seems that you don't really want to say it." Fang Dian scratched his head, "I haven't been in a relationship before, so I don't know if I should respect you for the time being and not expose it."
"That, that was just now..." Lu Yizhan paused.
Fang Dian replied solemnly: "Just now I thought that I might die tomorrow, and you seemed willing, so I kissed you."
Lu Yizhan covered his face, remained motionless and did not make a sound.
Fang Dian next to her smoked her cigarette, but she didn't smoke. After a while, she lowered her eyes and said softly, "If you don't want me to say sorry to you."
Lu Yizhan took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "There is no unwillingness..."
And he was the one who moved his mind first, Fang Dian saw it...
Stop thinking about it! ! What a shame!
Fang Dian turned his face to look at him: "If you want us to kiss again? If you die tomorrow, you won't be able to kiss..."
Lu Yizhan suddenly put down his arms and hugged Fang Dian and kissed her with a flushed face, preventing her from continuing.
Fang Dian was quiet for a while.
She slowly closed her eyes.
After Fang Dian left, Lu Yizhan opened the window of Yu Fu's infirmary and blew some cold wind, trying to calm down, but in the end he walked out of the infirmary with almost the same hands and feet, and comforted himself at the same time, just saying boo , not so.
As a result, as soon as Lu Yizhan came out of the infirmary, he saw Cen waiting outside with a subtle expression.
Lu Yizhan: ...
Seeing that Lu Yizhan was going to be so embarrassing in front of him, Cen didn't understand and mercifully looked away: "Tomorrow the second team will be responsible for cleaning the periphery of the coordinate base you are going to."
When Lu Yizhan talked about the business, he would instantly come back to his senses: "Is there something wrong?"
Cen Buming paused: "What are your chances of surviving tomorrow?"
Lu Yizhan was taken aback.
Although Cen Buming had handed over a lot of things to him after becoming the vice team of the second team, most of the time it was business affairs. Lu Yizhan generally does not have personal contacts with people whose views he disagrees with.
And Cen Buming is also this kind of person.
They basically don't talk about things that have nothing to do with work, and they don't have connections outside of work.
So as soon as Cen Buming uttered the sentence that clearly contained personal concerns, Lu Yizhan was stunned.
Cen Buming folded his chest and turned his face, his tone was cold: "Don't put on such a stupid look for me, I just see if I can drop by to collect your body."
Lu Yizhan smiled. He thought about it seriously, and then replied: "Is there a chance of surviving? In fact, we haven't found the possibility of surviving for the time being."
Cen Buming was silent for a while, and he tightened his arms around his body: "...Lu Yizhan, if you don't want to go tomorrow, I can apply for a replacement to replace you..."
"Deputy Cen, why do you suddenly want to do this for me?" Lu Yizhan was a little curious and puzzled, he scratched his head, "It seems that our relationship has not reached this point yet?"
Cen Buming suddenly turned his head, and he took a step forward and grabbed Lu Yizhan's collar. He leaned against the wall and asked him in an irritated tone: "Then why did you want to come from the rose factory?" Carry me out, why did you stand in front of me during the trial!"
"Why did you lie to me and make me hate you who saved me at that time!"
"Our relationship at that time was far from reaching this point, Captain Lu Station!"
Lu Yizhan lowered his head and looked at Cen Buming, who was wearing a blindfold on his left eye, breathing rapidly and full of anger. Lu Yizhan pressed against Cen Buming's shoulder, and Cen Buming slowly pushed it away, leaning against the wall and drooping his eyes. He asked, "You know."
"I already knew." Cen Buming turned his face away, his tone was cold, "I still hate you, Lu Yizhan, but I don't like to owe others, so if you need me to die for you, I can replace you."
Lu Yizhan raised his head slowly: "What if I need you to live on for me?"
Unknown Cen's pupils shrank.
"We were indeed strangers back then, but I'm one year older than you, so I can be considered half your senior brother." Lu Yizhan put on his uniform and smiled kindly, "It's only natural for a senior brother to save his junior brother."
Cen Buming sneered: "Senior brother from the first class? Lu Yizhan, you are shameless enough. According to the situation, my senior brothers should all be seniors from the second team..."
When it comes to this, both of them have a meal.
Almost all of Cen's unknown senior brothers were executed in that rebellion.
"I'm not forcing you to recognize me as your senior brother." Lu Yizhan raised his head, and he patted Cen Unknown's shoulder with a smile, "If your real senior brother is absent, then if you don't dislike me, you can have a brief Let me take the place you need."
Cen Buming patted Lu Yizhan's hand that patted his shoulder away with a cold face: "Go away, don't take advantage of my words, who needs a senior brother?"
Lu Yizhan was thoughtful: "Really? At that time, I lived in the same ward with you, and I heard you crying at night saying that I really want a senior brother to take me..."
Cen Buming narrowed his right eye: "If you spread rumors any more, I'll kill you."
"Hey, you used to be a person who liked to hug the quilt and cry, why are you like this now?" Lu Yizhan shook his head regretfully, "Sure enough, the child will become fierce when he grows up."
Unknown Cen, who was cornered by Lu Yizhan to take advantage of his seniority: "..."
He shouldn't be meddling in his own business and caring about this person.
After Lu Yizhan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Halfway there, he heard a very faint voice from behind:
"Brother."
The back of Lu Yizhan left paused, it was Cen's unknown voice.
Cen Buming was quiet for a while, and then continued calmly: "If you die, I won't cry for you."
Lu Yizhan waved his hand with a smile without looking back: "That's good."
The next day, the True Crusaders flew to the island, the first team cleaned the inner perimeter of the island, and the second team cleaned the outer perimeter of the island.
This is an island located in the boundless black waves. There are no islands around. It is so lonely that it seems to be located in the center of the universe. The island is surrounded by monstrous waves and violent sea winds. Ships cannot approach it at all. From time to time, there are dark, shapeless monsters that are so huge that they can swallow a yacht.
When Fang Dian and the others landed on the island, many people had already been killed or injured.
The island is a magnificent temple, and Bai Liu propped his chin, sitting on a rock table in front of the temple, looking at them with a half-smile: "You are finally here, I'm almost falling asleep waiting for you!" .”
Fang Dian looked at Bai Liu fixedly, and she took a step forward: "We won the game with you."
"No, you lost." Bai Liu raised his eyes with a smile, "Because the condition for winning the game is to capture my [tower], but you have only arrived now."
"This is my temple, you can't capture it, even I can't destroy it myself."
Wu Ruishu's expression became angry: "You are lying! Then there is no way to win you from the beginning!"
Bai Liu lazily fiddled with the cards on the poker table: "No, I actually hope that you can beat me and destroy this temple. It's just a pity that you can't do it."
"But I didn't lose either." Fang Dianxi continued calmly, "You can't capture the heresy situation, because I brought all the heresies and all the team members here."
"It's like you moved the heresy to my temple? Risking death or injury?" Bai Liu had a slightly appreciative smile on his face, "I can't destroy my temple, so you won't either Lose the game."
"A beautiful comeback, Fang Dian, you are really the best human being I have ever seen, a ruler who is both cruel and benevolent."
"You have never won a game from me, but you have never lost a game from me. Your goal has always been so firm." Bai Liu opened his eyelids and looked at Fang Dian, smiling, "—You want to trap me, the evil god, in your game, so that people from other world lines can survive."
"I'm curious, when did you know that there are other world lines, this is already something in the domain of [God], how did you know?"
Fang Dian grinned: "Guess! Seeing that you have always wanted to run, I think there should be other places where you can have more fun."
"Even if you have never met people from other world lines, and you have never had any emotional connection with you, you don't even know that they are living in a world that operates with regularity." Bai Liu walked down the steps from the top of the temple step by step. He looked at Fang Dian and smiled amusedly, "You have to risk sacrificing yourself and the people around you to save them."
"Why, Fang Dian?"
"You have no basis for empathy with them. Why do you have such a strong desire to get close to God and save everyone?"
Fang Dian looked at Bai Liu who came down, she raised her head and looked directly at him: "Actually, I don't want to save them."
"I just don't think they should be your playthings."
"But what if this is what they want?" Bai Liu spread his hands, "I can receive prayers every day, praying that I will go to that world to fulfill their desires and bring evil."
The sea breeze blew Fangdian's long hair violently, and she said calmly, "Want to play a game with me?"
Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: "What game?"
Fang smiled and said: "Even if you let everyone in the world enter your game, and derive all kinds of weapons according to their desires, let them kill each other in your game, encourage them to gamble, commit crimes, Let the whole game be filled with your favorite heresies, and finally-"
"You will also lose to them, to their human side."
Bai Liu was quiet for a second, and he licked the corner of his mouth: "Okay, I will fulfill your wish and play this game with you."
"I will separate the game from reality. When someone has a desire in their heart and prays to me, the evil god, that I will come to fulfill their wish, I will bring them into my game, and at the same time I will bestow it on them. Human personal skills with excellent high-quality desires like yours, so that they can survive in my dangerous game for a long time."
"At the same time, in order to facilitate the so-called mutual help between human beings that you mentioned, Captain Fang, I will let them see each other's game situation, and give each other their own resources to help each other."
Bai Liu smiled: "From now on, I will release this game for all world lines."
"The standard of winning or losing the game is set as - if a certain heresy in the game is brought to reality and pollutes the whole world, it will win for me, if not, it will win for you, the whole world is our [tower] 】,How about it?"
Fang Dian sharply retorted: "Winning this game is even more difficult for us, because there is no time limit for the defensive period."
"That's right." Bai Liu propped his chin and pondered for a while, then he quickly smiled again, "Well, I'm also withdrawn from the whole game, I won't enter any game and reality ."
Fang Dian's eyes really lit up this time: "Really?"
Without the existence of a bug like Bailiu, everyone would be at ease !
"Really, but accordingly." Bai Liu turned his head and smiled, "I will put a derivative creation of my own coordinates under each world line, just like you, this derivative is the body of a mortal, the body of a mortal Combat ability, and in order to make it easier for you to find them, I will set them to be exactly the same as my appearance."
"This derivative of me is the hourglass for both of us. He is your sight. When you kill him, the game ends. If the whole world has not been polluted at that time, then you win, otherwise, I win. "
The game conditions sounded so good that it was like a dream. Fang Dian couldn't understand Bai Liu's bad taste anymore, so she asked warily, "What about our requirements?"
"Is there a request for you?" Bai Liu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Naturally sit opposite me, the evil god who was sent off, and play games with me."
"For all world lines, I will set that every world line has your existence. Generally speaking, each of your existence is different, but I will set the soul of all your existence to be unified, that is to say -"
Bai Liu smiled calmly: "You will use one soul to experience the reincarnation of all world lines."
"If anyone among you is lured by my derivative in a certain world line and sells his soul to him, then your soul will be completely invalidated and become a stone sculpture in my temple, and there will be no more A chance to come back."
"I will project my derivatives, projecting your souls to the world line, but at the same time, you are like game npcs with zero archives, you will not remember anything, every world line It’s a whole new game.”
Bai Liu stood on the steps with downcast eyes, looking down at the square point standing below: "Fang team, as a reward for you touching the god, or it can be said to increase the fun of this game, I can give you The members of the [Crusade Judgment Army] bestow godlike skills, which will help them fight against me."
"But correspondingly, each of their world lines has these magical rule skills, and each world line can play this game with me, so you have to pay a price for them for each world line."
Fang Dian asked: "What is the price I want to pay?"
Bai Liu smiled: "Painful."
Both Wu Ruishu and Lu Yizhan looked at Fang Dian quickly, but Fang Dian raised his hand to stop them, and nodded calmly: "Okay, I promise you."
"You give the skills first."
Bai Liu nodded slightly in the air: "Wu Ruishu, use Tai Chi, you can invalidate all attack skills and use your strength to hit."
"Su Lan, the world lines overlap. You can temporarily overlap two world lines you already know."
"Ren Yuxin, memory folding can change the memory of all creatures in the entire world line, and completely erase the traces of something happening, but a world line only needs to be used three times."
"..."
"Finally, I will give you two rule skills that can determine the direction of the game." The smile on Bai Liu's face deepened, "[Listen to God's Words] skill."
"For each world line, although I don't end, I will design my own game background script for each world line, and use the players and heresies in the game to make the entire world line follow the path I preset. "
"But it's just too boring to keep following my path."
Bai Liu clicked on Lu Yizhan, and said with a smile: "—so you can use this skill to spy on what I'm going to do periodically, and then stop me, so it can also be said that this is a prophetic skill. "
"The last skill—the evil god's trial."
"This skill can be used to judge all heresies related to my evil god in each world line, including me."
"After the trial, the weakness of the heretic will be exposed to you, and it will continue to be weak. No matter how powerful the heretic is, you can use this skill to contain the opponent."
Wu Ruishu's reaction was quick, he stared straight at Bai Liu: "You only mentioned six skills just now, and you didn't give the team any skills."
The corners of Bai Liu's lips turned up: "She has no skills."
"Because she, like me, belongs to the position of [God], so she doesn't end up."
Fang Dian seemed to have expected it a long time ago, she held the epee and calmly took a step forward to step up the steps of the temple: "The skills you gave are good, and I will pay the price well."
"Fang team—!!" Wu Ruishu was in a hurry and wanted to follow.
Fang Dian didn't look back: "Deputy Captain Wu, wait for me to come out."
Wu Ruishu gritted his teeth and stopped.
"This world line game hasn't started yet, I'll ask the team to bid farewell to you before I get the price." Bai Liu bowed slightly, "Please."
Lu Yizhan stood motionless and looked at Fang Dian's back as she stepped onto the temple. The sea breeze blew her ponytail into a mess, just like the texture that was blown on his face by the night wind last night.
He clenched his fist slowly.
Inside the pitch-black temple is a huge swimming pool connected to the deep sea. There are unknown underwater creatures swimming in the swimming pool. There are pillars around the swimming pool, and chains are hung on the pillars.
"It's been so long." Bai Liu looked at Fang Dian, "Besides me, you are the first person who is qualified to step here."
Fang Dian looked at the swimming pool and said calmly: "Is it just to lock me up here?"
"Of course not." Bai Liu smiled and said, "It's too disrespectful for you to be locked up in the pool, and I will lock you up at the bottom of the sea."
"Of course, this kind of physical torture can't bring you pain at all, Fang Team."
"You are unbelievably tenacious. The death of your close teammates, betrayal, and continuous heresy can't break you down and hurt you, but you still persevere." Bai Liu said slightly distressed, "I've thought about it for a long time, "Barely think of this game that can make you miserable."
Fang Dian raised his eyes and looked at Bai Liu lightly: "What kind of game is it?"
"For each world line, I will completely erase your memory, and make you like an ordinary person with a pair of happy parents, an excellent appearance, and a perfect brain. Everything about happiness." Bai Liu looked at Fang Dian, he smiled and continued, "Then I will let you lose it."
"Then at the end of each world line game, if the Crusaders lose the game, and you have someone you love deeply at that time, I will bring that person to the temple, to the place where you are trapped under the sea In front of my soul, I will tell him that because you love him, I will destroy his soul now, and let him die in agony—"
"—Let him live forever and never be reincarnated."
Bai Liu looked at Fang Dian, who was hanging his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and continued with a smile: "Then when the next world line starts, I will continue to erase your memory, and fall in love with another person under my design. people."
"Then continue to witness his soul being destroyed in front of you again because of your love."
"And I'll be on the sidelines, enjoying your pain until the next game begins."
Bai Liu asked with a smile: "Fang team, are you willing to pay this price?"
Fang Dian raised her head, she said without any emotion on her face: "Okay, I will pay the price."
Lu Yi waited outside the temple for less than ten minutes, feeling as if he had endured it for half a century. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Dian walking down the steps of the temple with a calm face.
But when Fang Dian reached the lower half of the steps, he suddenly rushed up the steps with his epee in hand, and then jumped down from the steps. Lu Yizhan saw Fang Dian's ponytail swinging a brisk arc in the air.
Then she slammed into the arms of Lu Yizhan who was panicked and hugged Fang Dian with her heavy sword.
Lu Yizhan was knocked back several steps, but still caught her firmly.
Fang Dian hugged Lu Yizhan tightly, and she buried her head in his arms. Lu Yizhan was almost hugged in pain, but he suddenly felt at that moment, as if holding him Fang Dian was a million times more painful than him.
But this feeling disappeared in an instant, and Fang Dian relaxed a little.
Lu Yizhan heard Fang Dian whispering in his ear, "Lu Yizhan."
"—No matter how you reincarnate on the world line in the future, remember to hide away from me when you see me."
"Don't make me fall in love with you again."
