Chapter 68: Exploding Last Train (1/2)

Mu Sicheng took the Merfolk Amulet and went to the front carriage which was the carriage furthest from the mirror according to Bai Liu’s instructions. Bai Liu said this was to prevent the god-level NPC’s attack from hitting Mu Sicheng before he could use the item. It was better to stay away from the place where the mirror would be broken. Mu Sicheng glanced at Bai Liu as he left.

He was a player with only a bit of health left and the god-level NPC was emerging. If it was before, Mu Sicheng would definitely think this guy would die. Still, if this player was Bai Liu…

Mu Sicheng took a deep breath, snorted and turned around. He felt that he was worrying about Bai Liu in vain and that he might’ve been fooled by the madman Bai Liu—he actually thought that Bai Liu would definitely survive.

This guy who left his items and health to himself would surely survive. After all, he only spent 100,000 yuan on Mu Sicheng. If he didn’t spend it on Mu Sicheng then it would’ve just gone with him. Bai Liu was such a stingy guy that he wouldn’t let Mu Sicheng go even if he was a ghost.

Mu Sicheng shook his head with amusement. He gripped the Merfolk Amulet, took a deep breath and turned away.

Bai Liu, who sold misery that he had no items and used brotherhood to trick Mu Sicheng into selling his soul to Bai Liu, confirmed that Mu Sicheng left. Then he didn’t hesitate to open his system panel.

[System prompt: Player Bai Liu is logging into player Mu Ke’s system panel… you have logged into player Mu Ke’s system panel.]

Bai Liu’s face was calm. [Call up the item Merfolk Amulet.]

A white merfolk statue fell into Bai Liu’s hands. Mu Ke’s Merfolk Amulet wasn’t bound so it could be used by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu held the white fishbone whip in one hand and the statue in the other. He took a deep breath, exhaled and stared at the mirror, muttering to himself, “Tawil, I hope you are a self-aware, intelligent NPC as I guessed. I hope you can remember more than seven seconds and that you will remember what you promised me when you were a merman.”

That’s right, Bai Liu had investigated the god-level NPC before. The god-level NPC in Siren Town told Bai Liu that his name was Tawil. The name of the original NPC, the siren banshee, was Meade while the Siren King gave Bai Liu a completely unrelated name. In addition, the previous siren banshee didn’t say anything about helping the player realize their wishes.

This type of data overwrote the original data. After understanding the extremely conscious behaviors of this god-level NPC, Bai Liu defined the other as an ‘intelligent, wandering type NPC’ who had his own name. He was like an alternative type of player who was really powerful and played the role of a horror game boss, flowing between different games.

Bai Liu felt that the other party had his own memories. This was why Bai Liu dared to risk breaking the mirror.

First, he also had the Merfolk Amulet. If he broke the mirror then it wasn’t much different from Mu Sicheng breaking the mirror. Secondly, the god-level NPC Tawil once promised to grant a wish. Judging from the fact that he repeatedly emphasized it last time, this wish obviously had a certain effect.

The premise was that the other party hadn’t forgotten his words.

Bai Liu closed his eyes and slowly adjusted his breathing. Then he opened them again, squeezed the bone whip and mercilessly aimed the whip at the mirror. The moment it struck, the train also exploded and flames surged through the train like a tide.

The reflection of Bai Liu in the mirror shattered into countless fragments. The train whistled past, letting out a long vibrating sound while the fragments that fell to the ground vibrated and pieced together into a broken mirror.

A naked man appeared in the mirror. He had a pale, gloomy and beautiful face as well as a flawless body with muscular lines. His face was glued together by the fine mirror fragments and were like mirrors that dotted his eyes and naked, perfect body.

His slender and curly hair fell to his waist. It was a bright silver color that was as beautiful as a mirror. All of this appeared in the fragmented mirror and was like a priceless, artistic portrait. He seemed to be awakened. He slowly opened his eyes covered by long eyelashes and his pupils were like flowing mirrors that reflected the scene of the explosion without any emotions.

The moment he opened his eyes completely, all the windows on the train shattered and the people called out in fear, soon dying from the glass shards striking their bodies. Blood splattered everywhere in seconds. At the front of the carriage, Mu Sicheng was scratched by many flying glass shards. At the last moment before his health reached zero, Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth as he crushed the amulet and left the game.

[System prompt: The mirror has been broken. Player Mu Sicheng has cleared the level and the rewards are being calculated…]

Du Sanying barely got up from the train full of water. He looked at the train that suddenly stopped running and before he could react, he saw that everything in front of him was like a shattered mirror. It suddenly broke to pieces in front of him, cracking and scattering.

[System prompt: The ghost mirror has been broken and the train in the mirror has stopped running. Players Du Sanying, Fang Ke and Liu Huai have officially cleared the level. The rewards are being calculated…]

Tawil stretched out his cold, white fingers to the mirror and lowered his eyes in a slightly bored manner. It seemed that waking up from a deep sleep made him slightly uncomfortable. He whispered in a low voice, “It’s noisy.”

The noisy explosion paused in a flash. The flying pieces of iron, the crowd running in a panic and the whistle of the train all froze.

Behind Bai Liu was a wave of fire that would roll over him the next second. He was surrounded by many broken fragments that trembled in the air and almost enveloped him. The sharp points of these fragments were facing him but they just stopped in the air, shaking slightly but not attacking him. Bai Liu gripped the Merfolk Amulet. It had shattered the moment Tawil opened his eyes. It turned to powder and the white sand slid down from his fingertips.

Bai Liu looked at Tawil in the mirror. He let out a long, long breath and finally started to smile. “Long time no see, Tawil.”

Now that he hadn’t received an attack from Tawil, Bai Liu smiled. “It seems that you still remember me?”

Tawil in the mirror stared at Bai Liu lightly, his long hair swaying in the silver waves. “It hasn’t been that long since I’ve seen you, Bai Liu. The person I saw last time when I woke up was also you. It is hard for me to forget you in such a short time.”

“Really?” Bai Liu smiled softly. “Do you remember last time when you promised to realize my wish?”
