Viscous red blood dripped from the tip of the black monkey's paw, Mu Sicheng raised his head, his expression has never been so calm: "I don't know where you come from? For me? So many strange speculations."

"But I wasn't? Stealing for my own pleasure."

Mu Sicheng closed the monkey's paws, his knuckles rolled inward forcefully, and the butterfly cocoon twitched uncomfortably in his palm, then was crushed and shattered into a piece of wind, dissipating from his fingertips, his eyes? Emotions--

- Killing intent.

"This is just a game, and human behavior will lose its meaning."

"I? Steal for atonement."

"—Like?, you kill for protection."

Mu Sicheng clenched his fists into claws, and struck straight at Armand's heart. Armand's pupils constricted, he drew his long bow, gritted his teeth and stepped on the string.

"Go to hell, Mu Sicheng!!"

"Go to hell, Armand!!"

The smoke dissipated, and among the wooden blood-stained bow and cocoons scattered all over the ground, there were two people who had lost all their vitality.

Mu Sicheng's monkey paw scratched Armand's throat, and Armand's bow and arrow pierced Mu Sicheng's heart. They fell into a pool of blood, coughing and moving toward each other, unwilling to attack again, but In the end, he could only fall to the ground, holding the weapon in his hand with resignation.

Until the last moment, there was no tactician who gave up protecting himself.

——The most important person in your life.

[System prompt: Player Mu Sicheng's life value is reset to zero, exit the game. 】

[System prompt: Player Armand's life value is reset to zero, exit the game. 】

Ornamental pool.

"Golden Dawn is the only one left in Georgia." Phoebe dragged her face with one hand, and clicked regretfully, "The victory has been decided."

"It's really worthless. He's obviously an old-fashioned tactician, but he lost to a rookie team."

Heart squinted: "Is there any time for me here, why don't you go and watch other games? The Killer Sequence competition has started?"

"Yes? Yes, for the invisibility cloak." Phoebe patted her knees and sat up. She glanced at Hearts and said, "I'm going to go over and have a look, and you want to come over too? See? You've seen the same thing in every killer sequence before." I watched the game."

Heart turned her gaze away, looked at the big screen, and said quietly, "...I won't go there."

No. 1 viewing pool.

Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu's eyes were empty, cold sweat flowed out, and their souls ascended to heaven: "What should I do! Nishen? And Liao Ke are not here!"

"Are there soon? We're competing! What should we do? No? How can we play a team match as a tactician!"

"Oh." Spade raised his head suddenly, he turned his head, looked at Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu, his tone was indifferent, "Before Ni Shen? He came to me and said let me play a single match first, and then you play a double match Game, play fast game, get double points, Nishen? Said that our current ability is enough to fight against the invisibility cloak, and kill the game in advance."

"He said that because the opponent doesn't want to play extended? Overtime, there's an 80% chance? They will forfeit the team match, and we won."

"If unfortunately the opponent didn't abstain, then he should have come back at that time, so we don't have to worry."

Bai Yi and Bai Jiamu looked at Spades quietly: "Spades."

Spade nodded: "Yes? Me."

"You dog lizard!" Bai Yi was furious, clasped his fists and beat the peach, "Naishen? I told you tactics, tell us earlier! You doze off peacefully by yourself, look at me and Bai Jiamu Scared? Almost cried? Yes? No? It's fun! Ah!"

"You are so mean! Who the hell did you learn from! You also know how to play with your teammates' feelings!"

in the game.

Tang Erda and Bai Liu stopped controlling Georgia when the system prompt sounded that Armand had quit the game.

Tang Er took a long breath, and he broke out in a cold sweat. In the ten or so minutes just now, Georgia really rushed out of the palace desperately. .

If it weren't for? Bai Liu's weapon is? Good at? A whip for multiple defenses, and? Has? Such a strong mechanism to judge, Georgia might really be able to run away from their hands, then it would be troublesome.

"Okay, now you are the only one left in the team, Georgia's captain?" Bai Liu sat on the bench with a smile, and stretched out his hand to Georgia on the opposite side, "Now the outcome of the game has been decided, we are no longer? What? Hostile relationship, maybe we can sit down in a friendly manner and talk?"

Tang Erda looked delicately at Georgia who was firmly tied to the bench by his whip on the opposite side of Bai Liu: "..."

Doesn't that sound like a friendly attitude?

Sure enough, Georgia turned her head indifferently: "You can kill me to win the game, there is no between us? There is nothing to talk about."

"How can you say that you have nothing to talk about if you haven't talked about it?" Bai Liu used three fingers to conjure up a small hourglass from the glove as if by magic—this is? Tang Erda just found it out of Georgia , as can be seen from Georgia's messy clothes now? The search process was appalling.

Bai Liu smiled kindly: "If I say, I really have a way to fill the hourglass of time?"

"You also know that when you have already won the victory, there is no need to lie to you, so I really have a way."

Georgia's expression was slightly moved, but she still pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Bai Liu turned to look at Tang Erda, Tang Er nodded: "I used props to turn on the sound shielding, for? Ten minutes, the audience can't hear? You talk."

"This way we can talk safely." Bai Liu smiled, "First of all, Captain Georgia? What I want to tell you? You know your countryman—"

"—are you still alive? Are you alive?"

Tang Er was taken aback, Georgia paused: "I know they didn't die, they just turned into golden sculptures, waiting for the moment of awakening."

"No no no." Bai Liu shook his head, "They're still alive."

"Alive...alive?" Georgia slowly realized what? But he quickly denied the answer, "...Impossible, the Bureau of Heresy used special equipment to scan, they are really just gold sculptures, No human physical activity."

"That's right. From a physical point of view, all their organs have been completely hardened, and they are indeed golden." Bai Liu looked up, "But from a psychological point of view, they are still human. .”

"Because they have? souls, they can feel."

Georgia's expression froze completely.

Outside the game, on the surface of the Guro Sea, the Heresy Dealing Bureau divided the islands into three rounds.

Lu Yizhan and Liao Ke had surveillance rings on their hands and necks, and then boarded the boat with the new team members of the third bureau, and drove towards the floating island on the calm and dangerous sea.

"Old Lu." Liao Ke and Lu Yizhan leaned together at the stern, his words were worried, "You said heresy 0073 is not? Heresy, what is it? What's going on?"

"The people inside are just turned into gold, but they are still alive." Lu Yizhan took a deep breath, and then said, "If [Mu Sicheng] is allowed to open the protective cover I set up ten years ago, the sea water will If they flood into the country of Ancient Luo Lun, those ancient Luo Lun people who are still alive will all be drowned."

"Alive?!" Liao Ke was surprised, "You can't contain this country completely without inspection. They are still alive. Why didn't you notice it?"

"Because from the inspection results, these sculptures are really completely gold in terms of weight, density, and electromagnetic wave detection." Lu Yizhan closed his eyes, and he tightened his grip on the guardrail, "...and I am also in Georgia. Under the narration, he was induced by Bai Liu."

"Do you remember that I said that Georgia and Bailiu played a game, that if he wins, he can suspend the transaction, and if he loses, he has to pay the pain for all the citizens."

"Georgia understands according to normal logic, and takes it for granted that she will pay for all the pain, and Bai Liu played a word game with him. The pain of the philosopher's stone, or the pain of this philosopher's stone, at that time, all the price of pain will be paid by you together.]"

Lu Yizhan's tone was heavy: "What Bai Liu said was the result, but Georgia thought it was the process. He was deceived by Bai Liu."

"Georgia thinks that this transaction is established, so it means that the people will not deliver the pain, the time of the people is frozen, they will not suffer, and they will not feel uncomfortable. They just wait for the moment when Georgia completes the transaction? Then they can continue as usual live on."

"But if we calculate according to Bai Liu's result theory, the current Georgia has not paid for a thousand years of pain, then this deal is naturally not valid, and he can take pain from these citizens as a matter of course."

"... Was it? I was negligent. I didn't expect that Bai Liu could actually allow people to live in the form of a golden sculpture to collect pain."

"Don't be too harsh on yourself." Seeing that Lu Yizhan's shoulders were tense, Section Chief Liao sighed and wanted to persuade him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At that time, Lu Yizhan still had to deal with Bailiu's affairs, and had to deal with Bailiu, and it was not enough for one person to break it into eighteen petals.

The more everyone wants to be saved, the more likely it is that no one can be saved? Ah, Captain Lu.

"Bai Liu lied to you." Bai Liu's tone was very peaceful, "Although your people have turned into gold, they are still alive."

So when you turn into gold, you won't lose your health and spirit points—because that's just another way of surviving, not a heresy.

"Don't you think it's strange, Georgia?"

"Ten years have passed since it sank to the bottom of the sea here, and ten years have passed since the explosion. It should be dead silent, but? The sky here? There is still a steady stream of gold dust falling down, like? And? There? What? Things are alive, like gold dust falling from the sky to the ground."

"Have you ever wondered where the gold dust comes from?"

Georgia raised his head, his eyes were empty, and he asked softly, "These gold powder... Where did they come from?"

Bai Liu flicked her two fingers lightly, and took out a piece of paper—this was the message Mu Ke sent him before he left, and he repeated the words on it softly: "Palace, gold powder, tears."

"This is what my team member left me before he left. He thought it was the key to deciphering information."

"I guess it should be? He started to turn golden during your interrogation, and he shed tears during your interrogation, and then he found that these tears turned into gold powder, I am in your team Keri I saw this in Sith too—when she turned into the Golden Heretic, I shot her to get her out of the game."

"She wept bitterly, and the tears turned into gold powder."

"Georgia." Bai Liu said the answer calmly, "This gold powder all over the sky is? The ultimate solution to the hourglass of time that you have been looking for."

"These are the tears that these citizens have shed when they have been trapped here for ten years, looking forward to your return day and night."

Behind Georgia, a drop of gold slowly fell from the eyes of the golden statue of the king leaning on the table and sitting on the bench, dispersed into gold powder in the air, turned into tracks, and slowly spread out in this silent country for a long time.

"They are waiting for me to come back?..." Georgia suddenly asked, "I have trapped them here for ten years, immovable, is it? My will to do what I want to do has tortured them to this point."

"How could they wait for such a traitorous grand prince?"

"People cry? Because of their feelings." Bai Liu raised his eyes, "They stayed in this sea for ten years like? sculptures. When the ground is covered with gold powder, their hearts are like yellow stones, and the sky is no longer rippling with gold sand, but in The moment you stepped into this place, the gold powder all over the sky began to flutter again, falling on you one after another."

"They have feelings for you, Georgia."

"You are the only one in this world who will turn himself into a sculpture as hard and indestructible as a sculpture, and stubbornly guard them by the sea for ten years in order to protect them. Who else can they wait for besides you?"

Georgia slowly lowered her gaze, looked at the hourglass in Bai Liu's palm, and fell into the memory in a daze.

In the spring of Ancient Loren, those innocent children and townspeople would grind the gold mined by the first mine cart into gold powder, and sprinkle it into the sky, and sprinkle it on the people they wanted to bless.

At that time, as long as the young Georgia went down for a walk, his hair and shoulders would be covered with thick gold dust, sometimes even more than his father, and his father would mutter and complain, Georgia really Is it? It is very popular with the people.

Those people were laughing and shouting teasingly, letting the gold powder all over his clothes and long hair:

"Georgia!"

"Georgia!"

Georgia looked back at them and thought to herself—if only this scene could last forever under his protection.

Ten years later, his body was covered with gold dust again. Georgia turned his head to look at the platform outside the window. The citizens who swayed gold dust at him were gone. They held banners outside the mining area to drive him away. The king, whom he would have laughed and complained about being too popular, stood beside his chair, wondering wistfully how he could have buried the Philosopher's Stone in the ground without him.

After all, he still? failed to protect all of this.

Georgia closed her eyes.

A drop of tear fell into the hourglass in Bai Liu's hand, and the gold sand in the hourglass began to flow, and the thick gold powder floating in the whole kingdom turned into a visible golden track to wrap up the hourglass in Bai Liu's hand and pour it into it.

As the sands flowed, Georgia silently opened his eyes. His golden sculptural form had filled his heart, so even his voice became softer: "...The deal between me and the gods is finally finally at this moment." Do you want to start fulfilling?"

"It should be." Bai Liu looked at the hourglass that was about to start turning upside down in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's better to make a deal with God than with me."

"God's heir?" Georgia raised her eyes, and asked softly, her eyes were full of resistance, "...As the eldest prince of Gu Luolun, I am very grateful that you told me all this. trade, but I will not make any more deals with you at the expense of the nation's pain."

"No." Bai Liu smiled lightly, "I don't want your people or your pain."

Georgia asked, "What do you want?"

Bai Liu looked at him: "Your soul."

The moment Bai Liu's voice fell, the hourglass floating on Bai Liu's palm was full and turned upside down.

[System prompt: The player Bai Liu has collected all the tears of the hourglass of time, the hourglass is full, and the time is about to start to turn back? Ten years ago, please prepare the player to travel through time! 】

The gold sand in the hourglass is wrapped in the gold powder made from tears, and it starts to flow in the opposite direction, and everything around it starts to reverse. people.

Tang Erda stretched out his hand abruptly, wanting to grab the white willow whose eyesight suddenly dissipated, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he only caught a handful of golden sand.

Georgia also turned into gold dust and disappeared in the copy.

[System prompt: "The Lost Kingdom of Gold" game clearance?, player Tang Erda exits the game, player Bailiu, Georgia triggers the plot, and enters the dlc - "The Kingdom of Gold Ten Years Ago"]

Tang Erda opened his eyes again, and he had already appeared in the viewing pool, and Mu Ke immediately surrounded him.

"What's the matter?" Mu Keqiang asked calmly, "The big screen has gone black, which means there is something? The game is over, and I saw it too? You cleared the level? Why are you the only one logging out? ?”

"Where's Bai Liu?"

"Bai Liu was left in the game." Tang Erda took a deep breath, "He triggered the branch."

On the other side of the viewing pool, Armand stared at the big screen that was turned off. He stood up abruptly and clenched his fists unwillingly—where is Georgia? !

Why his brother? No? Log out? !

"Amande!" The team members next to him looked at Armand's injured hands and shoulders, and wanted to hold Armand in panic, but Armand was covered in injuries all over his body. "The wound on your body is still there? It's not tied! Where are you going!"

"The game is over, captain? Nothing will happen! You are so seriously injured, don't walk around!"

When he thought of Georgia staying with that guy named Bai Liu, Armand couldn't keep calm at all. Regardless of being tied to the halfway, with his exposed shoulders, he stood up firmly and faced the big screen. Walk.

"Hello." Armand managed to maintain a polite conversation with the staff next to the big screen, "The game is over, but our team's tactician is still inside, can you continue to turn on the small TV so we can see what's going on inside? "

"I'll pay for that."

"Or open the entrance again, let's log in..."

Armand's voice has not yet fallen, and there is an arrogant and threatening voice next to him:

"Hey! Our president is still in there! Tell me to go in and bring him out?!"

Armand stopped as if feeling something, and Mu Sicheng also seemed to have heard the voice coming from here, and stopped. The two turned their heads at the same time, and looked at each other through the big screen.

The big hole on Mu Sicheng's right shoulder was still dripping blood. He grabbed the employee's collar with his left hand and threatened viciously. When he saw that Armand snorted unhappily for a moment, he clicked his tongue.

Half of Armand's face was covered in blood and flesh. He glanced at Mu Sicheng indifferently from the corner of his eye, as if he didn't exist, and turned his head to continue talking to the staff.

The voices of the two overlapped again:

"Yes? Is there any way to let me in?"

Mu Sicheng exploded in an instant, rolling up his sleeves, he was about to fight Armand: "What are you going in for? Fighting Bailiu!"

"Come on? Ah, let's fight again here! You little boy is? My defeat!" ·

"Aren't you? My opponent." Armand looked calm, as if he was talking calmly, but he summoned a long bow with his backhand, "I advise you not to go in again, I can kill you a second time , can kill you for the third time."

"Huh?!" Mu Sicheng was furious, "I'll let you see what it is? Who killed who!"

When the players from both sides arrived, they were very helpless.

"Amand, calm down, we are? We can no longer log into the game... and we can't fight in the viewing pool."

Wang Shun grabbed Mu Sicheng who was about to rush up, one head and two big, and tried to persuade him without tears: "Mu Shen? Don't make trouble, our team will be fined a yellow card!"

"But Bailiu hasn't come out yet?..." Mu Sicheng clenched his fists, and his voice lowered a bit, "...If I? Qing's main attack is faster, then..."

"I'm still...too slow."

"Georgia is still inside." Armand's lips were tightly pursed, and there were tears in his pupils. "I can't let him stay inside alone."

"He never? Never left me alone."

The players on both sides were silent for a moment.

"Armand." The team members handed the bandages to Armand, sighing, "You have done a good job, haven't you? We didn't? Believe in the captain? Well, he is a very strong and powerful person."

"Georgia will definitely end the game of the country of gold well, and then come out? See you."

"He won't leave you alone."

Wang Shun helped up Mu Sicheng, who was about to lose his footing, helplessly and funnyly: "You are considered slow and slow, so what am I?"

"You did well enough. You should look around before. When you and Armand died together and logged out of the game, the entire viewing pool was full of spectators cheering for your wonderful performance."

"You proved that Bai Liu's choice was correct."

"President? He must be able to finish well." Wang Shun raised his head and lowered his jaw, bleeding to the ground drop by drop, or? Mu Sicheng of something else, patted his head with a smile , "Then come out? See you and praise you for a good job."

The feeling of wanting to protect something or someone is probably common to people who have things they want to protect.

Why do people shed tears?

Is it because of pain?

Armand covered his face with a bandage, clenched his fists and endured with great force, but his shoulders were still shaking from crying hoarsely.

Is it because you hate yourself for being incompetent?

Mu Sicheng twisted his entire face and facial features distorted, but there was still no way to control the water falling from the eye sockets, he gritted his teeth, and wiped it with the monkey's paw in embarrassment, don't overthink it? Face yourself like this.

Is it? Because of weakness or is it? Lost?

Heart, who was sitting in the auditorium, raised his eyes lightly. Surrounding him were the spectators who were gradually dispersing. They all went to catch up with the next round of competition, and Heart sat quietly in the same place alone, like? a waiting Moviegoers in the absence of easter eggs.

"Can you give me an answer?" Bai Liu, who was standing at the gate of the ancient Luolun country, smiled and stretched out his hand. In his palm was an hourglass that could reverse time when it was filled with tears, and he asked with a smile, which suddenly appeared in front of him. Bai Liu, "Why do people shed tears?"

"The reason why people cry." Bai Liu raised his eyes, and he looked at Bai Liu opposite, "Is it? Because of feelings."
