Chapter 60.2 (1/2)

“This is the mirror formed from 360 broken mirror fragments coming together.”

Puppet Zhang stared at the broken mirror in a puzzled manner. He didn’t understand why Bai Liu was showing them the mirror when talking about the bomb.

“I previously discussed it with a friend of mine. How did the two thieves in the Mirror City Bombing get on the train with the bomb? An explosive that can explode several cars must be quite large. Where did these two thieves hide it to get through the security check? The news said it was hidden in the mirror. I always found it strange. What type of mirror can hide so many explosives?” Bai Liu murmured softly. Then he put his hands on the smooth surface of the mirror.

Water ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the mirror, slowly spreading out and becoming a lake of mercury.

The smile on Bai Liu’s face grew wider. He slowly sank his hand into the incomplete mirror surface that was like a lake of mercury in front of everyone’s astonished eyes. He showed a satisfied smile as he cleanly pulled out a huge black bomb that was several times larger than the mirror. The black bomb fell on the ground, throwing out a cloud of dust and exuding the strong smell of gunpowder.

“Now I know.” Bai Liu patted the ashes off his hands. “It turns out it really was hidden in the mirror.”

Puppet Zhang was stunned. Then his mind spun quickly as he stared at the pile of explosives. “You have pulled the explosive out of the mirror. Does this mean the train doesn’t need to explode?”

Bai Liu didn’t speak much. He put his hand in the mirror and pulled it out again. Another big explosive was pulled out. He shrugged and spread open his hands. “No, I suspect the explosives are infinite. So this train and mirror must explode.”

Puppet Zhang’s expression quickly sank.

“So the plan requires the sacrifice of two players.” Bai Liu raised two fingers and explained without hesitation. “One person needs to send this explosive to the reservoir. I guess it will be difficult to return within two minutes. This is the first player to be sacrificed.”

Puppet Zhang’s brow was so wrinkled that it could pinch a fly. “This only needs the sacrifice of one player. What is the other player you want to sacrifice?”

Bai Liu smiled. “The second player to be sacrificed needs to use Du Sanying’s Fake Cloth and hold it after wrapping it around this mirror. The cloth is fake so it doesn’t exist or break in a certain definition. It can hold the broken pieces of the mirror so that after the explosion, we can avoid looking for the mirror pieces again. The cloth won’t break but it needs to be held by the player. This means they will be too close to the mirror and will likely be killed.”

“So the only question now is—” Bai Liu slowly bent his two fingers as he raised his eyes, the smile on his face meaningful. “Who are the two players who will die?”

“To be honest, apart from Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying, none of you have much value to me.” Bai Liu continued. “The health of Puppet Zhang and your three puppets has dropped to this point and the combat power you can provide is very limited. I don’t care if two of you die at the next station.”

Bai Liu’s mouth curved slightly and he gave a regretful and hypocritical sigh. “It is because you are all useless to me.”

The eyes of Puppet Zhang and his three puppets moved slowly to the smiling Bai Liu. Their expressions gradually froze. This guy was too skilled at getting rid of someone once they ceased being useful. He was serious.

However, Bai Liu was telling the truth. Even if he had acquired Puppet Zhang’s soul and his strength was the highest, it had little positive meaning to Bai Liu after this game. Not only was it little, it was also negative.

Puppet Zhang was a high level player of the Kings Guild. The fact that Puppet Zhang was controlled by Bai Liu would be announced on the small TV. Bai Liu thought that a large guild like the Kings Guild wouldn’t allow Puppet Zhang who was controlled by others to occupy a high position in the guild, let alone allow Bai Liu to control a player who knew a lot of information about the guild.

In summary, Puppet Zhang was a big problem for Bai Liu. It was best for him to die in the game. Then the Kings Guild wouldn’t need to trouble Bai Liu because it was just a grudge within the game.

However, Bai Liu would face a very difficult problem if he chose to send Puppet Zhang to his death. If Puppet Zhang died, his three puppets would be out of control.

Bai Liu thought about trying to use the Empty Old Wallet skill to control the three people under Puppet Zhang. It was just that the possibility of success was very small. First, these people were very wary toward him. They knew he had a control skill and his transaction skill required the active consent of both parties. He might be able to successfully trick the three people into opening a transaction with him in a few minutes but Bai Liu thought it was unlikely.

The second was that even if it was achieved, Bai Liu couldn’t manipulate anyone in the chaotic underwater situation. The soul banknotes were banknotes so they were afraid of water, just like Bai Liu. This was equivalent to Bai Liu’s skill being banned. If the weakness of his skill was known, his situation would become very dangerous.

Bai Liu would definitely put the broken lenses on himself before clearing the instance, so his reward was the highest. If this group of people knew that Bai Liu couldn’t manipulate the soul banknotes in the water, Bai Liu was likely to be attacked by a group of people and face the situation of being robbed of the fragments by a group of people.

Unfortunately, Bai Liu felt that Puppet Zhang had guessed he wouldn’t be able to control others underwater.

Puppet Zhang had seen the whole process of Bai Liu using the soul money to rescue Mu Sicheng in an emergency so he knew that Bai Liu used a paper item to manipulate the players. This was an important reason for Puppet Zhang’s death.

It was very likely that Puppet Zhang already understood the conditions, limitations and weaknesses of his personal skill. This was fatal to Bai Liu to a certain extent. If he released Puppet Zhang this time, he wouldn’t have the advantage of the other person not knowing his personal skill.

To be honest, Bai Liu had bad information. He knew this himself. After all, Puppet Zhang was someone who relied on a big guild and he had many channels unknown to Bai Liu. If Puppet Zhang could get rid of Bai Liu’s control and hunted Bai Liu like he did before, it would be impossible for Bai Liu to escape.

Puppet Zhang was likely to disclose Bai Liu’s personal skill. Bai Liu’s skill might be broad in use but it was also extremely restrictive. He needed to use money to trade it. If Puppet Zhang disclosed Bai Liu’s personal skill then Bai Liu would be in a dilemma.
