Chapter 65: Exploding Last Train (1/2)
“Damn!” Mu Sicheng looked at the broken lens in the mirror and couldn’t help exploding. “How can we get the broken lens in the mirror out? Puppet Zhang was burned to death inside. Do we need to go in?”
“Calm down Mu Sicheng. Puppet Zhang was burned to death because his alienation value reached zero. According to the rules of the game, he will be turned into a monster of this instance. This is why he was burned to a scorched corpse.” Bai Liu spoke calmly with no panic. “From this perspective, we just need to keep our mental value above 0 and the mirror should basically be safe.”
He took off his diving mask and drank a bottle of mental bleach. Then Bai Liu used his eyes to signal to Mu Sicheng to drink quickly. After drinking, he could enter the mirror.
Bai Liu, this damn guy had no awareness of his own death and wanted to go in! His damn life value was only 1 point!
Mu Sicheng was speechless but failing to pass the game also meant death. In the end, he gritted his teeth and drank a bottle of mental bleach. After drinking, the two men dived into the mirror. The clean surface shook and then there were no ripples again.
Bai Liu’s mentality hadn’t collapsed but the mentality of the viewers in front of the small TV collapsed.
“No way?! It is the god-level NPC again and they have to fucking enter the mirror? Isn’t this a nightmare difficulty?”
“I saw Bai Liu enter the mirror and my hands and feet are cold. He only has 1 point of health…”
“Damn, I’m not reconciled! Bai Liu, come on! I will give you a like and charge you! This is the epilogue! Hold on and win!”
“Brother Liu, stay steady!”
Wang Shun’s expression was filled with tension while Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu charged all the points they got from clearing the game to Bai Liu. The two of them were so scared that they closed their eyes and didn’t dare watch the small TV. Their expressions were at a loss as they clasped their hands together and whispered, “Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless Bai Liu! Nothing can go wrong! A good person must be safe!”
Bai Liu in the mirror didn’t know that these outsiders were so nervous they were almost stomping their feet. He was extremely calm despite his low health bar. It was mainly because the scene in the mirror couldn’t make Bai Liu nervous.
The train rumbled forward while he was surrounded by chatting high school students who had just finished their evening classes and social animals after the night shift who were looking at their phones. These people were obviously tired.
There were slightly noisy human voices. Every time the train stopped, people would get on and off with numb and tired expressions. This was the daily life of social animals that Bai Liu was familiar with. There were no burnt corpses, no fire and no strange signs. If Bai Liu hadn’t remembered clearly that he was in a game, he might’ve thought that he had returned to reality.
Bai Liu glanced at the time on the LCD screen of the train carriage. It was 10:57 p.m. on Z day, Y month, 20XX and this was the last train. Bai Liu had a good memory. He remembered that the train he boarded had exploded at 11 o’clock. If this was the real scene then the train should explode one station after this one.
A sweet female voice was heard in the carriage. “The next stop is Lujiazui. The destination is the terminal station, Antique City. Please sit firmly and hold on. Passengers who want to get off, line up by the door in order. Get off first and then—”
Bai Liu stood in the carriage. He remembered that he got off at Lujiazui station. If this was a projection of the real scene of the train exploding then—Bai Liu turned around and walked through a few carriages. He looked around and finally saw himself and Lu Yizhan in the middle of a carriage.
Like other social animals in this carriage, Bai Liu was looking at his phone while occasionally opening his mouth to speak lazily. He wasn’t laid off at the time and often worked late. If Lu Yizhan also worked overtime then he would wait for Bai at the subway station. They took the train together and would go home separately. Bai Liu didn’t understand why Lu Yizhan had to wait for him like primary school students going to the toilet together. It made him feel a subtle disgust.
Still, Lu Yizhan was very insistent. He felt it wasn’t safe for Bai Liu to go home so late and would accompany him when possible. Lu Yizhan and Bai Liu had grown up together and Lu Yizhan was very accustomed to taking care of Bai Liu because this person was very worrying. For example, currently Bai Liu was leaning against the seat and sleeping.
Lu Yizhan shook his head helplessly. He took off his coat and covered Bai Liu’s shoulders. He had the natural vigilance of a police officer. After covering ‘Bai Liu’ with the coat, his gaze swept over the entire carriage and onto Bai Liu. Then his gaze swept past as if he hadn’t seen anything.
Bai Liu watched from a distance. His body had a translucent texture like he was a projected figure. He felt that he had become an non-existent copy of the information of ‘Bai Liu’ who was covered by Lu Yizhan’s coat.
Lu Yizhan couldn’t see him.
