I Became a God in a Horror Game

With a serious expression, Tang Erda tapped his forehead with his index finger and made a gesture to Bai Liu to think of a solution quickly.

Alex, who was staring at Tang Erda, sneered: “Is he making this gesture to say that there is something wrong with his head?”

Bai Liu: “…”

So much hostility.

Bai Liu approached Tang Erda as Alex went up to meet Guy who jumped down from the high platform.

He looked around: “Where is Jiayi?”

Tang Erda rubbed his brows as if he had a headache: “This is a battlefield. Jiayi isn’t allowed to go to the front line. She was taken away by the Red Cross people after she was discovered and is not allowed to come over at all.”

“But she should be safe.” Tang Erda assured calmly, “I followed her and searched the Red Cross map. There are no highly lethal NPCs or monsters there. It’s just that she has to think of a new plan before rejoining us.”

Bai Liu nodded: “Just leave this to her.”

“I also think Liu Jiayi has always been very creative, and the rules here can’t stop her.” Tang Erda then looked at Spades standing next to Bai Liu.

Out of complete trust in the tactician, Tang Eda did not question Bai Liu’s approach of bringing Spades here at the beginning, and did not even avoid Spades while reporting information to Bai Liu.

The moment Bai Liu brought Spades over, Tang Erda understood that at least in this game, Spades was on their side, otherwise Bai Liu wouldn’t have brought him here so openly.

As for why Bai Liu did it, it was not his role as the main attacker to question.

Tang Erda’s scrutinizing eyes flashed across Spades, and then immediately returned to Bai Liu’s face: “What’s going on with the main mission? Why was I excluded without doing anything?”

After Bai Liu explained everything to Tang Erda, Tang Erda couldn’t help but glance at Spades who was standing aside with no emotion at all, and his tone became subtle: “You said, you got the Alex NPC to accept you by pretending to be a couple with Spades?”

“Yes.” Bai Liu looked very calm, “Guy will be very friendly to most male players, and this will cause Alex to have a jealous reaction.”

Bai Liu glanced at Tang Erda from top to bottom, then fixed his gaze on Tang Erda’s chest which was tightly wrapped in the military uniform and the rolled up sleeves that exposed his strong forearms, and said with a smile: “——Especially if you look like this.”

Tang Erda felt uncomfortable all over. He covered his exposed arms with a tense expression, and buttoned the first button of his military uniform: “…Would it look better like this?”

“Hmm…” Bai Liu’s eyes fell on Tang Erda’s Adam’s apple rolling up and down due to nervousness, and his shoulders and chest that had become even more eye-catching after buttoning up all the buttons. He answered honestly, “It looks even more wrong.”

Tang Erda was at a loss for words, so he undid the top button in silence.

“But in the game pool, we have no way to change the appearance data, and I don’t have any props here to change my appearance.” Tang Erda frowned, “How can I make Alex less hostile to me?”

“The quickest way is to find one for yourself…” Bai Liu’s eyes glanced meaningfully at Spades next to him.

Tang Erda slowly moved his gaze to Spades, and the two looked at each other wordlessly for a while.

Spades: “?”

Spades reacted for a moment, thinking he understood Bai Liu’s meaning, and then rejected Tang Erda righteously: “No, you can’t be with me, I have Bai Liu.”

“We have a very special male-to-male relationship, one-to-one, and there can be no third person.”

During his physical hygiene education, The Judge once very seriously taught Spades that two people in a special relationship are one-to-one and must be devoted to each other and never have second thoughts.

Bai Liu took a deep breath, raised his hands and looked away.

Tang Erda: “…”

Bai Liu, even if you turn your head, I can see you suppressing a smile.

“You can’t let me just find an NPC to pretend to be my partner, can you?” Tang Erda felt helpless and amused, “I can’t get the other party to cooperate with me, so why don’t I tell Alex that I have a partner in my hometown?”

Bai Liu shook his head and said with a smile: “He won’t believe it. Even if he does, your character is too ordinary, and his favorability towards you will not go back up.”

Tang Erda frowned: “Then what should I do? If Alex’s favorability remains so low, even if I join the first commando team, I won’t be able to join the main mission.”

Bai Liu touched his chin, glanced at Tang Erda thoughtfully, and then smiled: “I have a way to make Alex’s favorability towards you reach the maximum.”

“It’s just that his favorability towards me may drop a little, so let’s take a gamble.”

Tang Erda asked: “What can we do?”

When Alex and Guy found Bai Liu in the crowd, he was mingling with Tang Erda, shoulder to shoulder, and seemed to be talking about something.

Although Tang Erda looked calm, his ears and face were all red. It was obvious that he was a little repelled and ashamed of Bai Liu’s actions, but for some reason, this person who seemed to be able to push Bai Liu away easily didn’t push him away.

Bai Liu, on the other hand, looked comfortable. When he saw Alex and the others coming over, he naturally let go of Tang Erda’s shoulders, waved and said hello with a smile.

Alex wanted to frown as soon as he saw Tang Erda, but the subtle atmosphere between Tang Erda and Bai Liu made him feel… something was wrong.

It was as if his hostility was directed at the wrong person, a strange sense of dissonance.

On the way back to the town, this sense of dissonance became even stronger.

Bai Liu, Spades and Tang Erda were all recruits who signed up today. They needed to be allocated tents and shelters, and also delivered two large packages. As a veteran, Guy volunteered to take over the task of settling the three of them. Now, he was leading them towards the town.

It is very likely that these three recruits will participate in the assault mission, and they will go directly to the battlefield after a day of rest. As an appeasement to these recruits who are likely to be sacrificed, these three people are staying in relatively good conditions in the town today, and the packages allocated to them are quite rich in supplies and heavy in their hands.

Alex calmly pulled the enthusiastic Guy back slowly, letting Bai Liu and the two people walk in front in a row, before asking Guy in a low voice: “Do you feel that these three people are a bit… Not quite right?”

“There’s nothing wrong.” Guy didn’t feel it at all. He said with a smile, “Bai Liu and Spades are a couple. Tang Erda and Bai Liu are good friends who have known each other for a long time. They are both good young men.”

Alex’s eyebrows twitched, he pointed at Bai Liu who was walking in the middle with empty hands, and said angrily: “Didn’t you realize that Tang Erda helped carry Bai Liu’s package? Would a normal couple let an outsider friend carry things for their lovers?”

Spades was walking beside Bai Liu with two packages of his own in one hand. He didn’t seem to notice that Bai Liu’s packages had been taken over by Tang Erda, and he didn’t seem to have the consciousness to help Bai Liu carry the packages.

Tang Erda was walking on the other side carrying his and Bai Liu’s four packages, looking at Bai Liu from time to time, as if waiting for instructions – as if Bai Liu’s status was above him.

This is the habit that Tang Erda developed as a main attacker to protect the tactician – carrying unknown packages and paying attention to the tactician’s position.

But this seemed to have another meaning in Alex’s eyes.

“Tang Erda… does he have a crush on Bai Liu?” Alex said to himself.

Guy next to him gasped and raised his voice: “Are you saying that Tang Erda wants to get involved in the love between Spades and Bai Liu?!”

Alex covered Guy’s mouth in anger: “We haven’t progressed to this point yet, please keep your voice down! What if Spades hears it!”

Next to him, Tang Erda endured the shame and approached Bai Liu in the middle: “Alex’s favorability has improved. I really want to tell him…”

“Yes.” Bai Liu glanced at his system panel lazily, “Alex’s favorability on my side has dropped, but it’s still within the range.”

Spades next to him looked at the two packages in Tang Erda’s hand that belonged to Bai Liu, pursed his lips, and moved his fingers restlessly without saying a word.

——According to his identity, he should be the one to carry these packages…

But Bai Liu took the initiative to give them to Tang Erda.

When they walked to the dormitory building and some requisitioned hotels where recruits were housed in the town, the three of them were assigned different dormitories. When it was time to go their separate ways, Tang Erda was about to hand the package to Bai Liu, but Spades suddenly reached out and took it.

“I’ll help him carry it.” Spades said calmly.

Tang Erda was startled and glanced at Bai Liu inquiringly. Seeing Bai Liu behind Spades nodding with a smile, he let go and said politely: “Sorry for the trouble.”

Spades paused: “Oh.”

Then he turned to look at Bai Liu, pointed at Tang Erda as if he was complaining, and said indifferently: “He said you were troublesome, Bai Liu, don’t give it to him to carry next time.”

Tang Erda: “…”

Bai Liu: “…”

After Spades finished his explanation, he took the package without any emotion on his face, weighed it and said softly, “It’s not troublesome.” Then he turned around, took Bai Liu’s hand and left.

Tang Erda, who stayed behind, felt as if he was being shown up by Spades for some reason.

Under Alex’s arrangement, Guy would show the couple, Spades and Bai Liu, the way to their residence, and he would show the way to Tang Erda, who was not a very calm figure.

But when it was Alex’s turn to lead the way, he felt restless.

Because Tang Erda behind him had been staring at him with a very tight, strange, and hesitant look.

The closer he got to the door of the residence, the deeper and more intense Tang Erda’s eyes became. Alex was almost tempted to run away.

When he arrived at the door, Alex put down his things and turned around to leave. Tang Erda quickly grabbed his wrist, and then began to stare at Alex with that hesitant look.

“I…” Tang Erda was almost forcing himself to say those words, but the more he forced himself, the harder it was for him to say it, and he felt as if his body was about to set itself on fire, “I…”

Alex pulled his hand back frantically: “——If you have anything to say, tell Bai Liu! I’m not the person you like!”

Tang Erda took a deep breath: “But he and I can’t do it.”

Unable to pull him back, Alex began to try to shake off Tang Erda’s hand: “It’s impossible for you to be with him, and it’s impossible for you to be with me! I also have a partner!”

He warned: “You can’t hit on Bai Liu, and you can’t hit on Guy! They’re both taken!”

“No, it’s impossible for me to hit on them…” Tang Erda closed his eyes, his face turned red, and he almost said these words through his teeth, “…I, I’m the same as them.”

Alex was confused: “??? Why are you the same as them? How can you be the same as them…”

Halfway through, Alex thought of Tang Erds’s inexplicable shyness and obedience in front of Bai Liu, and his words paused strangely.

Then after an unknown amount of time, Alex, with a blank expression, looked up at the 1.92-meter-tall Tang Erda, and spoke shakily: “…Are you the one on the bottom too?!”

Tang Erda’s eyelids trembled and his whole body turned red. He nodded with great difficulty.

“You don’t…” Alex’s pupils continued to tremble, “You originally had a crush on Bai Liu, but because you and Bai Liu are both bottoms, you can only be friends with him?”

Tang Erda pursed his lips and turned away without saying a word.

In Alex’s eyes, this confirmed his thoughts. As a 1, he simply couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity for the 0 who has had a crush that has gone nowhere, followed him obsessively into battle, and is still 192cm.

He patted Tang Erda’s arm. The figure that originally made him feel hostile now only made him sigh and feel pity. Alex comforted him: “Hey, be happy, brother, there is always someone here who can fuck you.”

Tang Erda: “…”
