Chapter 61: Exploding Last Train (1/2)
Mu Sicheng understood what Bai Liu meant. He, Bai Liu and Du Sanying were indeed the ones who had a lot of advantages. They should be the first to clear the level. Once the explosion started, everyone would be overwhelmed. It didn’t matter if Bai Liu’s control skill worked or not. Now as long as they survived the explosion, these people would no longer be able to sneak attack Bai Liu.
Mu Sicheng was silent for a moment. “There are three people left. Who are you going to choose to send the bomb?”
“Why?” Bai Liu moved his gaze. “Do you have a recommendation?”
Mu Sicheng paused. “Liu Huai, I suggest you choose him.”
Bai Liu raised his eyebrow in surprise. “Why?”
He felt that Mu Sicheng wasn’t a person who acted due to personal resentment.
“I’m not suggesting this to you out of personal grievances. It is because Liu Huai has a personal skill called ‘Assassin Flash.’ The distance of this flash is enough to exceed the length of a carriage.” Mu Sicheng’s tone was complicated and it was hard to determine the emotions in them. He slightly avoided Bai Liu’s gaze as he spoke in a low voice. “You only have a bit of health left. If Puppet Zhang dies in order to get the broken lenses, Liu Huai can get rid of the control and use the flash to assassinate you. My physical strength has been exhausted and it is slowly recovering. My personal skill only has a low level against Liu Huai’s skill and I might not be able to protect you.”
Liu Huai’s body softened and he smiled bitterly. The moment Mu Sicheng spoke, he knew that Mu Sicheng would definitely say this.
At the beginning, he used this skill to almost kill Mu Sicheng. It was indeed a lethal skill that people needed to be on guard against. Liu Huai closed his eyes in despair. He could already predict the outcome of his selection. Bai Liu only had a bit of health left and couldn’t let a player with this personal skill be out of his control.
“Oh, that’s it.” Bai Liu fiddled with the coin against his chest as if thinking about it for two seconds. Then he opened his mouth. “Your words are reasonable but I have made a trade with someone before.”
Bai Liu had bought the souls of Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu in exchange for promising to kill Li Gou for them. There might be no time limit for this transaction but if he let it go this time, he would have to spend a lot more energy to kill Li Gou.
According to Bai Liu’s understanding, Li Gou should’ve gathered enough points to get out of prison. If he let Li Gou go this time to pass the game and get points, Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu might be killed by the passionate crime type Li Gou once he was released from prison.
Bai Liu wouldn’t do such a low-cost thing. The plan he chose would always be the one with the greatest profit and highest cost performance. Risks weren’t considered by Bai Liu. It was because there were no benefits without risks.
Bai Liu raised his eyes and declared, “So my choice is to send Li Gou to deliver the bomb.”
Everyone was stunned. Liu Huai’s eyes widened with shock. He couldn’t believe that he had escaped from death again.
Li Gou was struggling madly. He went crazy as he grabbed the knife on the ground and rushed forward toward Bai Liu. Then he was soon controlled again by Bai Liu through Puppet Zhang.
Li Gou was really crazy. His limbs were bleeding from the puppet thread but he still swung unwillingly. He stared at Bai Liu with murderous and tyrannical eyes and yelled, “Bai Liu! Why the hell did you choose me? Did you hear what Mu Sicheng said? Liu Huai is the one who can kill you! Why are you sending me to my death with the bomb?!”
“I will be released from prison soon!” Li Gou roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot and the thick blue veins on his neck and forehead bulging due to anger. “You can’t let me die here!”
The red-faced Li Gou and the calm Bai Liu stared at each other for a while. Li Gou seemed to understand that Bai Liu wouldn’t be threatened by him and eventually kneeled on the ground. His eyes were dazed like a pool of rotten flesh on the ground.
After almost 10 seconds, this person seemed to have figured it out. Li Gou suddenly started bowing and kowtowing to Bai Liu, snot dripping from his nose as he wept. “Bai Liu! Please! No! Don’t let me go! Brother Bai! I have been obedient from the beginning and did you what you said without cutting corners. Why not let Liu Huai go? He is the one who will harm you. Don’t choose me! Brother Bai, why are you choosing me instead of Liu Huai who is the biggest threat? Are you kidding me?”
Mu Sicheng also looked at Bai Liu with disapproval. “Why did you choose Li Gou? He is less threatening than Liu Huai. If Liu Huai tries a sneak attack against you, it is likely you will have an accident!”
Wang Shun in front of the small TV was puzzled. “What’s going on? Bai Liu isn’t someone who will put the cart before the horse. Why did he choose Li Gou? Is his head dizzy? He only has 1 HP left!”
Other viewers were also anxious.
“Liu Huai can backstab Bai Liu even if Mu Sicheng has a high movement speed! Bai Liu couldn’t stop Liu Huai at all even if he has Mu Sicheng!”
“Damn, I don’t understand why Bai Liu chose Li Gou. There is no reason for it!”
None of the audience members understood Bai Liu’s choice. They were confused, worried and disappointed. Only the couple standing in the back of the crowd covered their mouths and tried their best not to cry out. Since they were enduring the urge to cry, their bodies were a bit unstable. They leaned against each other, barely stopping themselves from kneeling down.
Their blurry eyes were on the pale and quiet side profile of Bai Liu on the small TV. They knew why Bai Liu chose Li Gou and why this young man made such a risky choice.
Xiang Chunhua lowered her head and made choking sounds. Her turbid tears rolled down over her fingers that covered her mouth. Liu Fu wiped them with his rough hands but his tears wet the grey hair on her temples.
“Thank you, thank you. Bai Liu, thank you.”
