Spades carried Bai Liu on his back and jumped along the branches with fewer corpses, moving with great leaps. Bai Liu was riding unsteadily on him. In order to stabilize Bai Liu, Spades first pulled Bai Liu’s calf with his hand before moving his hand up to pull his thighs, and then…
In the middle of the process, Bai Liu calmly lowered his legs, from sitting on Spades’ shoulders to clinging onto Spades’ back, and put the hand that was about to move up to his buttocks on Spades’ side: “I can hold myself up just fine, you don’t need to help me.”
Spades made a sound without realizing it, and the posture of withdrawing his hand to draw out the whip instantly became cold. The shiny black bone whip flicked out unexpectedly, the twisting whip like a poisonous snake in the air. Fiercely, he threw it at a corpse that jumped on the tree branch and almost split it in half with the whip.
Bai Liu looked at the corpse monster that fell from the air, the middle of its body sunken in: “Did you deliberately save your strength so as not to break the opponent in half?”
“Yeah.” Spades responded.
He whipped back without looking back, with almost the same force. It only made a dent in the middle of another corpse, stopping its movement, but it did not damage the overall structure of the corpse.
Spades took the time to briefly reply to Bai Liu: “These things can’t be beaten to death. It’s not a good thing if they are broken and their numbers increase.”
Bai Liu suddenly became interested and asked him: “You were so reckless when playing games before. You just killed monsters indiscriminately and didn’t care about the quantity or quality of monsters. Why are you so careful with the monsters in this game?”
“Because these monsters are not coming for me.” Spades looked back at Bai Liu indifferently, “They are coming for you.”
Spades didn’t say everything, but Bai Liu already understood what this man meant.Bai Liu was quiet.
As soon as Spades finished speaking, a torso with exposed internal organs flew towards Bai Liu from behind, and was knocked away by Spades’ merciless whip.
Even when knocking away such a rotten and decayed abdomen, Spades’ control prevented any organ from falling out, ensuring that the number of monsters did not increase.
Bai Liu was only quiet for a moment, then changed the subject as if nothing happened: “Don’t you want to ask me why The Judge and the others were kidnapped? This happened to your teammates. Given their strength, this is a strange thing.”
“Oh.” Spades nodded as if he had just remembered such a thing, and continued following Bai Liu’s words without much care, “They were tied up, but what does this have to do with me?”
Bai Liu: “…”
Bai Liu said slowly: “You are their league teammate. For all intents and purposes, you should show appropriate concern for the safety of your teammates at this time.”
Spades understood quickly, and he immediately said: “I will care about them now.”
He took out a golden bell from his waist, half the size of his palm. Seeing Bai Liu looking at it inquiringly, Spades explained: “This is a reward prop from an ancient dungeon of the game. It’s called twin bells. When one bell vibrates, the other will also vibrate.”
“We have refreshed the dungeon three times. There are six bells in total, all of which are bound to the vibration relationship. If one vibrates, the other five will too. In some ancient or pre-modern dungeons where modern instruments cannot be used to communicate, The Judge requires that we use this bell to communicate.”
Spades said: “The Judge also specially formulated a set of vibration frequency codes for this bell. Different vibrations represent different meanings.”
Bai Liu commented with interest: “This is a good communication tool.”
Without saying a word, Spades took out a bell from the system panel and handed it to Bai Liu: “I have two, I’ll give you one.”
Bai Liu glanced at the bell with a half-smile but didn’t answer: “You’d just hand over the communication tools within your team to me so easily?”
Spades looked at Bai Liu and said in a very matter-of-fact tone: “You also gave me your team communication tools, why can’t I give mine to you?”
Bai Liu was silent for a moment – he actually sold it to Spades for 10,000 points.
Spades directly threw the bell into Bai Liu’s arms, then held the whip in one hand and the bell in the other and shook it quickly.
The sound of bells ringing could be heard from Bai Liu’s arms and in the distance at the same time, startling many corpses in the forest, and they all moved towards the place where the bells were ringing.
Spades shook it violently and forcefully. Bai Liu looked at it for a while but couldn’t make out any clues. The pattern of Spades’ shaking didn’t match any of Bai Liu’s known codes. He had to ask: “Are you contacting them using a bell code?”
Spades said: “I don’t remember the bell password made by The Judge.”
Bai Liu paused for a moment, and his eyes moved to Spades’ bell that was still shaking rapidly: “Then what are you doing…?”
Spades answered very frankly: “Didn’t you ask me to care about them? I’m just concerned about them.”
Bai Liu: “…”
His eyes moved down to the bell, and then he looked at the members of the Killer Sequence who were tied to the stakes from a distance. The unusual sound of the bell attracted a large number of corpses that were screaming in agony.
Bai Liu silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Spades who finally stopped ringing the bell.
Spades turned to look at him: “Do you still need me to care about them?”
Bai Liu: “No need.”
He finally understood why The Judge was willing to give him five million points to help educate Spades.
Across the lake.
Bai Yi looked at the corpses that were constantly approaching him, and screamed like a chicken that was being held by four butchers to chop its head off: “Ah! Who the hell is ringing the bell!!”
Bai Jiamu snapped and interrupted Bai Yi’s screams: “Can you stop? You and the sound of the bell mixed together are almost giving me a fucking concussion!”
“Between me and the bell, only one of us can stop the sound!” Bai Yi kicked the corpse climbing up below and yelled at the top of his voice, “Judge, tactician, who among us is ringing the bell! Make him stop!”
The Judge, who was tied to the wooden stake, sighed deeply: “It’s like this, Bai Yi. The hands of the four of us are tied very tightly. Logically speaking, we don’t have any bells to ring, so the person ringing the bell should not be here.”
Bai Yi understood instantly, and he choked up sadly: “Is our sixth bell stolen? I said at the beginning that five bells are enough, and if there is one more bell, it should be destroyed instead of kept. This sixth bell should be destroyed. If the bell falls into the hands of others, it will be a huge hidden danger, but The Judge insists on keeping this one, saying that this bell has its own destiny. Look, something is happening now…”
Bai Jiamu rolled his eyes and interrupted Bai Yi’s thoughts: “Silly, it’s not the sixth bell, it’s Spades who is ringing the bell.”
Bai Yi instantly restrained his miserable expression and retorted seriously: “Impossible. I have never seen Spades ring the bell after he got it. He won’t ring the bell.”
“That doesn’t mean that it won’t happen now.” Bai Jiamu replied breathlessly, “This one is not easy, if Spades can’t get through it, he might contact us…”
When Bai Jiamu said this, Bai Yi also asked in a subtle way with his eyes: [“Do you think this kind of thing is possible?”]
“I once saw Spades stepping on and hitting the bell with his whip, trying to break it.” Bai Yi recalled, “I was very shocked and stepped forward to stop him and asked him why he was doing it.”
The Judge was also very shocked: “This is an important prop that I saved through hard work in the game, and used to communicate within the team. Why would he do this!”
Bai Yi replied quietly: “Because he felt very annoyed. It kept vibrating and he couldn’t turn it off, so he just wanted to smash it.”
The Judge’s whole face was about to crack: “That’s because he doesn’t reply to our messages at all, okay! That’s all because everyone is exchanging game information intensely!”
Bai Yi smacked his lips: “Actually, Spades hates this bell. It’s not that I can’t understand it. It’s like there are many people chatting in a work group. You can’t leave the group, and you can’t block the leader’s messages, and the phone also keeps vibrating.”
“But when Spades is alone and is having fun playing games, he doesn’t want to be disturbed…”
The Judge’s eyes were glazed over, like an old father who was hit hard after he bought his rebellious son a toy that he didn’t like: “…So he wants to smash the bell I gave him?”
Bai Yi stomped on the corpse underneath him a few times, looked at The Judge sympathetically, and decided to change the topic: “So I don’t think Spades is shaking it. He probably doesn’t have any bells in this game.”
The Judge shook his head: “No, it must be Spades shaking it.”
Bai Yi asked suspiciously: “No, who took our sixth bell? Is it possible that that person is ringing it?”
The Judge’s eyes widened: “It must be Spades shaking it…”
“The sixth bell was originally in the warehouse, but last time Spades told me that his bell was broken and he could not participate in the team discussion. So I opened the warehouse before this game and handed the sixth bell to Spades with great care. I told him that this was a prop that I got with great difficulty, and asked him to take good care of it and not break it again. I didn’t expect that he would break it on his own initiative…”
The Judge looked sad at the end.
Bai Yi: “…”
Bai Jiamu: “…”
…What’s going on? It’s a pitiful story that this kind of honest father works hard to buy toys for his son, but the supercilious son throws them away just because he doesn’t like them, and even lies to the father that he was careless.
“But Judge,” Bai Jiamu turned to look at The Judge next to him, “When those indigenous living dead came to arrest us, we didn’t attack them, but surrendered and choose to be kidnapped by them. How did you know that they will no longer fuse and devour us?”
The Judge calmly looked at the wooden sculpture of the Evil God facing him: “Because the old Evil God statue is broken, a new Evil God statue needs to be replaced. This rotation generally means that the cracks in the powerful old Evil God will appear. He is looking for his next successor, a new evil god.”
“This kind of rotation of religious gods requires a large-scale sacrifice and ceremony to support it. When the conflict between the old and new gods is particularly intense, this rotation is usually accompanied by huge wars.”
The Judge lowered his eyes to look at the charred corpses and continued:
“In the ceremony of the birth of a new evil god, sacrifices and witnesses are needed. The sacrifices are those who oppose the evil god, and the witnesses are those who have experienced the history of the evil god.”
The Judge said lightly: “There are no better sacrifices and witnesses than us. They will not fuse us easily. They need us to maintain a clear consciousness to witness the rituals of the new gods. This is a tribute to the new gods.”
As they talked, Alex, who had been keeping his head down on the fifth stake next to him, as if he was unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his head and looked directly at the wooden sculpture of the evil god facing him, with an unknown smile full of anger and sadness at the corner of his mouth.
The wooden sculpture of the evil god standing in the center had obvious signs of repair. The wooden sculpture’s head, which had been chopped with a scalpel and shot once, stood on the wooden body with a smile, looking down at the scene with scarred and pitiful eyes. There were corpses dancing before his eyes, and five sacrifices tied to stakes.
In front of the evil god’s wood carving, there was a huge piece of wood standing. The wood was split in the middle. It could be seen from the cross section that the material is the same as the one used to carve the evil god’s wood statue.
The corpses moved their hands shakily and carved on this cross-section with axes and chisels. They could already see the outline of a new wood carving. With the progress of the carving work of the corpses, the wood carving born from the logs became more and more lifelike and realistic.
The wood carving of the New Evil God gradually took on a human form.
Bai Yi glanced at the wooden sculpture’s eyes twice. For the first time in so many games, he felt an unspeakable creepiness. He gently kicked Bai Jiamu next to him with his foot and whispered: “Hey, did I see it wrong? The more I look at this wooden sculpture, the more I feel like it’s—”
The Judge took a deep breath and looked at the smiling wooden sculpture of the new evil god: “——Bai Liu, right?”
