I Became a God in a Horror Game

Bai Liu subconsciously wanted to push Spades away, but in the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Guy who was watching the show with a smile and Alex who was too embarrassed to look away, so he immediately sobered up.

As if he was shy, he lowered his head, turned away from Spades’ lips and put his head on Spades’ collarbone before burying himself in Spades’ arms.

Bai Liu’s breathing was slightly rapid. He curled his fingers into fists and pursed his lips once more. When he spoke, his voice was very calm.

“… Next time, before you do something like that, tell me first.”

Spades closed his hands around Bai Liu’s shoulders. He hummed softly, and then, as if aware of Bai Liu’s emotions, he said as an afterthought: “Should I ask you first this time?”

“I’m sorry.” He apologized sincerely, “Are you angry?”

Bai Liu suddenly laughed. He looked up at Spades, and the look in his eyes made Spades pause for a moment.

There was a heavy heat in his dark eyes, which were bright and clear yet unreadable. There was clearly a vague version of himself hidden in those eyes, and it seems that there was a person Bai Liu was missing.

Bai Liu put his head against Spades’ heart, and he could still smell the lingering blood there.

The rising emotions slowly fell back down.

Bai Liu closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. He still had a loose smile on his face: “You haven’t changed at all. Please apologize first for what you did.”

When Xie Ta spent time with him, the most common word he said was sorry.

This person had an inexplicable desire to survive. Every time he was keenly aware of the signs of Bai Liu’s anger level rising, he promptly apologized——

——Then dared to do it again next time.

“Let’s forget it this time.” Bai Liu moved away from Spades’ arms, smiled and nodded to say hello to Guy and Alex. He then glanced lightly at Spades next to him, and gave a friendly smile, “But I hope there won’t be a next time.”

Spades: “…”

He felt like he did something wrong again.

The two of them followed Guy to the base camp in the rear, and had to take a train ride on the way there.

It was a very strange railway, only a few dozen miles long, and you could only travel between the front line and the small towns in the rear.

Sitting in the carriage, Guy reluctantly explained to Bai Liu and the others: “It’s strange, isn’t it? It’s rare to build a railway like this, but because the war has been going on for a year and a half, it has been stuck in this position and unable to advance. Later, for convenience, such a strange railway was built to transport soldiers and supplies.”

Bai Liu’s eyes retracted from the dense jungle outside the car window – building a railway in such a humid area was not an easy task.

Spending so much effort to build such a line only shows that the commander of this battle was an important man.

Bai Liu looked at Guy: “Why have you been stuck here for a year and a half?”

Guy let out a long, long sigh: “Because there is a very important strategic location about 20 kilometers ahead – Pluto Lake.”

Bai Liu raised his eyebrows: “Pluto, the king of the underworld in Roman mythology? Why is this lake called that?”

Guy explained: “This place has a lot of rainfall in summer, and the average annual rainfall can reach tens of thousands of millimeters at its peak.”

“In the summer, this lake, which is at the lowest point in the entire area, will rise rapidly due to heavy rainfall, triggering flash floods and drowning many residents living nearby every year. Hence, the name Pluto. People here call this lake [The Angry Grim Reaper of Summer].”

“Not only that.” Alex added with a serious look, “Once the water level of Pluto rises, its lake water will overflow, filling many surrounding canals. It automatically forms a network of intersecting rivers in this dense rainforest, with Pluto as the center.”

Guy took a deep breath: “In this kind of rainforest where it is difficult to build transportation routes, rivers are natural railways. Whoever occupies Pluto before the rainy season can use rivers and boats to transport large quantities of supplies, weapons and soldiers around this area to gain an advantage.”

Bai Liu understood: “In other words, whoever occupies Pluto before the rainy season is likely to win this war.”

“But if that’s the case, you have been here for a year and a half and have experienced at least two rainy seasons.” Bai Liu asked thoughtfully, “You didn’t decide the winner during these two rainy seasons?”

Guy smiled bitterly and shook his head: “We occupied Pluto the year before last, but there was not much precipitation in that rainy season, and the transportation range formed by the rivers was quite narrow.”

“We lost our battlefield advantage during that rainy season and allowed the people on the opposite side to occupy Pluto. Just in case, our side expanded the conscription that year.”

Guy looked at Alex with complicated eyes: “… Alex came to the front line at that time.”

Alex nodded, his expression gloomy: “Last year’s rainy season was when the enemy occupied Pluto, and the rainfall was also considerable… Their battlefield advantage continued into this year. We were losing ground steadily, and we were just resisting. Every day more bodies are collected from the battlefield than the day before…”

“The superiors are constantly increasing the recruitment efforts to fill the front lines, so that we absolutely do not lose, we must win…”

Guy patted Alex’s shoulder and sighed: “It’s not our jurisdiction to take charge of this kind of thing.”

He smiled like he was having fun: “On the battlefield, the only thing we can do is die.”

Alex lowered his head and said in a low voice: “I sometimes feel that if we lose, it will be fine as long as it means the end of the war…”

Guy’s expression froze. He looked around and knocked Alex on the head helplessly: “Don’t say such things on the train. If you are overheard, you will be punished.”

Alex lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly on his knees and said nothing.

Guy gave him a firm hug on the shoulders, rested his chin on Alex’s head, and said in a light and gentle tone: “It’s okay, the war will definitely be over after this rainy season.”

Alex squeezed Guy’s hand silently.

“The war will definitely end after this rainy season. Why do you say that?” Bai Liu looked up at Guy.

Guy was quiet for a moment: “You will understand when you get to the recruitment point where you join the army.”

After saying this, Guy looked out of the train in a daze, his hand holding Alex tighter and tighter, his eyes reflecting the swaying green shade and flames of war.

“…There is a proverb in my hometown that the time lovers spend together is more precious than gold.” Guy murmured to himself.

He smiled and turned to look at Bai Liu and Spades. The fire and green shade in his eyes had faded away, leaving only a moving and damp light like an old photo. The smile on his face had a kind of unconcealable envy and proud happiness.

Guy laughed heartily: “Then when the four of us stay together, aren’t we the richest people in the world?”

Bai Liu and his party jumped off the train and saw the crowded military enlistment point from a distance.

Some people stood on the table with loudspeakers and shouted angrily, some held up recruitment posters, shouting to distribute them everywhere, while others were lying on the ground filling out the form with a dirty ballpoint pen they picked up from somewhere.

The whole scene was total chaos.

“It seems that there are quite a few new recruits here to report today.” Guy clicked his tongue twice, “It’s not easy to get two registration forms in a scene like this.”

“It’s time for us to do our best as hosts.” Guy took the still unresponsive Alex’s hand, blew a pleasant whistle, and rushed into the crowd, “I’ll help you get the registration forms!”

Ten minutes later, Alex, whose face was so squeezed that it was deformed, sat on the ground with dull eyes and panted. Guy excitedly waved the registration forms to Bai Liu and the others: “I got it!”

Guy took out two pens from his pocket, placed the registration form in front of Bai Liu and Spades, and guided them through signing up with a smile.

When Bai Liu was handed the registration form, he noticed something was wrong with it – one of the options had been pre-marked with a cross.

It’s obvious who made the cross.

Bai Liu looked at Guy, and he tapped the cross with his pen: “What is this? Can’t I choose?”

The smile on Guy’s face faded a little: “Well…this option is whether you are willing to join the commando team.”

“Commando team?” Alex’s confused voice came from behind Guy, “Have there been any organized raids recently? Why didn’t I receive a notice?”

The person holding a loudspeaker on the table suddenly raised his voice: “Everyone, our general has assembled thousands of heavy artillery and brought them to this small town, and will continue to send them to the front line today.”

This man was very emotional, spitting and waving his arms:

“I believe we all know that if we lose this rainy season, we will be buried at the hands of Pluto, the god of death! The heavy rain in the past two days has indicated that the enemy is likely to have a huge advantage in this rainy season.”

The originally noisy crowd below fell silent, and everyone turned to look at the man standing on the table.

He continued sadly: “Are we going to lose this war of glory and give up our free land to the shameless and unsatisfied slaves on the other side of the lake?!”

“Didn’t we give them enough rights?!”

“We employ people from poor and backward areas like them, pay them daily wages, and provide three meals a day. They actually demand that they own property, that they exchange labor for land, and that they become superior people like us!”

“These people who rely on us for food actually dare to say that the land that has developed and grown rich only because of us originally belonged to them, and they want us to give it back to them!”

“Shameless!!” The man shouted loudly, with an angry look on his face, “If they really have a backbone, why didn’t they kick us out when we first started helping them develop?”

“After we signed the agreement and obtained their consent to own these lands and made these lands extremely rich, these greedy guys want to drive us out under the guise of ownership!”

Guy whispered to Bai Liu: “This rainforest has a lot of wood, minerals and water resources, but the residents living there are very poor. So, the officials who found the land signed an agreement with these residents to provide them jobs, property, and enough food every day for the next 100 years, in exchange for permanent ownership of the land.”

Bai Liu paused subtly.

He felt that what they were doing was shady enough, but he did not expect that there would be something even darker – taking the land that others already owned in exchange for cheaper labor.

This is no longer a huge profit, but a huge profit without capital.

Guy sighed: “As you can see, this is a blank check, but the indigenous people didn’t realize it at the beginning, and they really didn’t even have enough to eat, so they all agreed.”

“They built a large number of factories here and gained a lot of wealth by relying on the land and these labor forces. However, the wages paid to residents by the factories were getting lower and lower, and the working hours were getting longer and longer. They regarded these residents less and less, they even treated them as slaves, trampled, humiliated and mocked them, and disputes broke out.”

“During the quarrel, an indigenous resident killed a factory director. In order to vent their anger, the factory director’s friends and relatives imprisoned all the indigenous people who participated in the quarrel in an abandoned factory and burned them to death in a fire.”

Guy was silent for a long time: “A week later, the war broke out.”

“At that time, no one thought that the war could last so long, but the indigenous people knew the local terrain very well, and many relevant international people were assisting them, saying that this was a real war of liberation and freedom. Furthermore there were many volunteers from other countries who joined them.”

Guy smiled lonely: “Hey, you may not believe it, but I originally wanted to become a volunteer in their army, but before I signed up, my family sent me here first.”

Bai Liu’s eyes rested on the man who was still standing on the table and explaining impassionedly: “Is there another version of this story? The cause of the war I saw in the recruitment advertisement is not like this.”

“Yes.” Guy looked at Bai Liu with admiration, “The version used by domestic officials to promote is that they selflessly helped the residents here escape poverty and gain civilization, democracy and freedom, but they were the first to be attacked by this group of greedy and backward indigenous people. They even killed a factory director who had selflessly helped them during the dispute.”

Guy looked at the recruitment posters scattered everywhere on the ground and exhaled: “Do you know what the most complicated situation is? There are no lies in this recruitment advertisement. The factory director was indeed innocent.”

“He was a very good man.” Guy recalled with nostalgia. “Although he was from a noble family, after coming here and seeing the situation, he sincerely wanted to help these people build their own factories and break away from the so-called control of the [upper class].”

“He got involved with these natives and spent all his money to help them, even when his family and friends opposed him.”

“But some of the natives did not believe him, and felt that his hypocritical behavior was to further exploit them. So during the dispute, this man was shot to death by a native who had always been resentful and suspicious of him.”

“The country made a big deal out of this incident, and many people, including Alex, came to this battlefield because of him – they were angry, and felt that such a good man should not have died like this.”

“Their hearts are good, but they are a little naive. They thought they came here just for an apology, but the war is far more cruel than they imagined.”

Guy fell silent at this point.

Bai Liu glanced at him: “You knew this factory director, right?”

“I can tell you, but this is a little secret between us. You can’t let Alex know, he will be jealous.” Guy blinked one eye and smiled, but there was an unconcealable sadness on his face. “He was my first love.”

“I’m very lucky, my two boyfriends are so great.”

The people on the table shouted loudly, overpowering Guy’s voice: “In order to end this war that has lasted for a year and a half, and punish the greedy, inferior enemy forces before the rainy season comes in full force. In two days we will commence a raid, for which we selected the best veterans who form an elite assault team.”

“They will undertake the most dangerous assault charge after the artillery bombardment, which will happen in two days. Let us applaud the brave soldiers in these assault teams!”

He took out a long list, and every time he read a name, a soldier climbed onto the high platform surrounded by cheers.

Guy looked at the list and waited quietly.

Alex seemed to realize something. He turned his head to look at Guy in disbelief, then turned back sharply, looking at the list with a gaze that almost burned through it.

“Guy Davis!”

Alex subconsciously grabbed Guy’s arm. He looked at Guy with reddened eyes, his throat was dry and he couldn’t say a word.

Guy smiled and opened Alex’s hand finger by finger, whispering softly into his ear, “The war is going to be over soon, baby.” and then amid the deafening screams and whistles, Guy walked through the bustling crowd and onto the commando platform.

Alex chased after Guy without thinking, but the cheering crowd blocked him, making it difficult for him to move forward.

The people at the table applauded and said enthusiastically: “Next, let us welcome the general to commend these brave people!”

A middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, wearing a bright stand-up collar military uniform, clapped his hands and smiled kindly as he walked onto the high platform.

He commended these soldiers one by one – hanging a medal worth less than five cents around the necks of those who were about to die for him.

After giving them the medals, the handsome general turned his head and said in a deep voice: “Please remember their faces. If they die, they died for the most just thing in the world. They are a martyr worthy of commemoration by all mankind.”

“I called for this attack. I know that this attack will have very painful consequences, but this is to severely punish those lower-class people…”

Alex gritted his teeth and looked at the garrulous general: “He suddenly launched this attack for his military merit.”

Bai Liu looked over and cast a questioning look.

Alex took a deep breath and tried to stay calm as he explained to Bai Liu: “This general is from a civilian background. He entered the military and political management by marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official. He has always been looked down upon by the upper class who claim to be a noble, but he has consolidated his position through constant wars.”

“But I think he’s better at politics than war.”

Alex looked up at Guy on the high platform, breathing heavily.

“The purpose of launching a raid is to report well after losing the battle. After all, it will cause casualties to the enemy before losing. We can also use the tragic sacrifices of these veterans to publicize and attract more angry people to join the army. “

Alex’s eyes were red: “They have already deceived many people with this trick.”

The general on the stage continued to speak:

“They are a commando team that undertakes the most important tasks. Only the most elite soldiers can enter…”

Someone below raised their hands and asked, “Can’t new recruits enter?”

The general laughed: “No, but your enthusiasm is worthy of commendation. You can join the second and third assault teams and be responsible for mopping up the troops – soldiers who join the first assault team must have high overall quality.”

Someone raised his arm, and spoke with a voice which was not loud, but steady and penetrating: “I think I have such qualities.”

All eyes were focused on the person.

This man was very tall, he was a head taller than most of the soldiers who had been selected to join the army. His raised hand was quite conspicuous, especially the silver revolver he held, which looked expensive at first sight.

Tang Erda raised his hand helplessly. He had just received an order from Bai Liu, asking him to join the first assault team, so he had to take the risk.

Bai Liu smiled at him from a distance and raised his hand to make a “Come on, I believe you can do it!” gesture.

Tang Erda: “…”

This guy really is a bit of a looker and a punching bag.

The general seemed dissatisfied with such a recruit provoking him, and his voice and expression became gloomy: “——War is not a shooting game for nobles. If you want to join the commando team, you must undergo a lot of training. At the very least, you must master high-precision shooting skills.”

He glanced at the silver revolver in Tang Erda’s hand with a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction – only young men from big families who were idle and wealthy would bring this kind of weapon to the battlefield.

“You hold such a gun…” The general laughed and sarcastically raised the medal in his hand, “Young man, I understand your yearning for honor, but I think you may be better suited to ride a mare. Hitting a fixed target ten centimeters away…”

Tang Erda turned the gun and loaded it, pulled down the dark goggles on his head, then raised his hand with a cold gaze and shot the general on the stage, hitting the medal in his hand exactly.

The general on the stage paused as if frozen. It took him a long time to slowly let go of the pierced medal with his trembling hands.

The medal fell to the ground, and everyone around looked at the new recruit with superb gun skills in shock.

Tang Erda gently put away his gun, “Am I qualified to join the first commando team now?”

“Of course!” Guy on the stage whistled coaxingly. He raised his eyebrows, scanned Tang Erda from top to bottom with his sparkling eyes, and laughed, “Good lad, your figure is as brilliant as your gun skills!”

Tang Erda was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, then calmly said thank you, and heard the system prompt:

[System prompt: The main plot NPC Guy’s favorability towards you has increased.]

[System prompt: The favorability of the main plot NPC Alex towards you has dropped sharply, and you have been excluded from the main mission]

Tang Erda: “???”

What happened? ? ! Why was he excluded from the main mission? !

Tang Erda was confused and turned to look at Bai Liu in the crowd, pointed at himself, and then shook his head, indicating that he could not enter the main mission.

Bai Liu’s eyes slowly moved to Alex, who was staring at Tang Erda with a blank expression.

Careless.
