I Became a God in a Horror Game: 201, Rose Factory (day +107)
The iron door swayed open, Tang Erda standing in front of the door remained motionless.
He seemed to have turned into a wooden sculpture in an instant, or in other words, at this moment he wished that he was just a wooden sculpture.
The factory worker pushed him twice suspiciously, but Tang Er was so tall and strong that he couldn't push at all. At this time, the "scent test paper" in the cage suddenly moved his finger and moved slightly towards him.
Leaning on the wall, the "fragrant paper"'s slack eyes tried to focus on Tang Erda, and he made a very weak, questioning, hoarse voice: "...Captain?"
Just such a soft sound, Tang Erda, who had been sinking on the spot, seemed to have been hit hard by a gun, the pain was so painful that he almost had to gnash his teeth, and he could only control his expression with a ferocious face.
Tang Er's eyes were scarlet, and he was able to stabilize his body by leaning on the wall. He was looking at the person in the cage, or the scent paper.
Something drained Tang Erda's strength, made him exhausted, bruised and unrecognizable, and he could only rely on foreign objects to support his body, step by step, stumbled into this troubled place. To trap him, to trap Su Chao in this cage.
Tang Erda walked up to the fragrance test paper, and at this moment, he could clearly see the whole picture of the other party.
Su Chao's entire face was "blooming", the roses in his eyes were as lush as those in a flower field, his face was covered with lines of blood and flesh, and he was wearing the uniform of the deputy captain of the dangerous Heresy Management Bureau , even with the badge.
Su Chao's work photo on the badge was stained with blood and looked dirty.
This face, and this work photo, reminded Tang Erda of the time when Su Chao was shot by the clown. At that time, the heart-piercing screams of the team members seemed to still echo in his ears.
And Tang Erda seemed to be out of his body, looking blankly at the videotape recording Su Chao's death, his brain seemed to be malfunctioning, and only echoed one sentence repeatedly - if I were in Su Chao Just next to it.
——If only I was arrested with Su Chou, if only I was arrested instead of Su Chou, if only I were Su Chou.
If only I was the one who was tortured, the one who suffered the pain, and the one who died.
——Why does it have to be Su Chao every time, every time?
It must be him, the most important person who dare not tell so many timelines, dare not face it, dare not take a second look and say a word?
Tang Er closed his eyes, the veins on the back of the hand holding the wall were bulging, and he almost couldn't stand still
There was a very faint, very faint light in Su Chao's eyes. He didn't seem to feel that he was suffering like this now. His face with uneven skin was pure. He saw Tang Er's trust and joy in playing the captain. , he seemed to want to laugh.
But the torn skin and muscles blocked Su Chao's smiling movements.
So the corner of his mouth was bent halfway, and then fell down helplessly, only his tone was still happy: "It's really you, captain!"
Su Chao wanted to raise his hand to reach the corner of Tang Erda's clothes, but failed several times, instead his hand trembled due to excessive force.
When Su Chou raised his hand up enough to fall again, Tang Erda finally squatted down in silence. It covered the back of Su Chao's hand.
Su Qi gasped weakly, leaned against the wall dying, smiled at him with half-closed eyes, and suddenly turned his hand to hold Tang Erda's hand.
Tang Erda took a deep breath to suppress those turbulent emotions. For the first time in this timeline, he did not reject Su Chao's approach, but instead held Su Chao back. The voice was hoarse and difficult: "Well, the captain is here to rescue you."
"No, you can't... get me out! Kekeke——" There was a look of annoyance and helplessness on Su Chao's face.
Just like every time he cooperated with Tang Er in the past, he seemed to be troubled by his captain's reckless decision, but in the end he still had the patience to persuade the other party.
Su Chao's voice sounded intermittent because of his shortness of breath: "It's useless for you to rescue me, I'm really dying."
Su Chao's eyes drooped, and his tone lowered: "My family, parents, and team members didn't survive, they all withered. Now I'm the only one left, but I can't last long."
"I'm just not reconciled, I'm not reconciled to being unable to do anything in front of this thing, I'm such a waste." Su Chao's tone was slightly dazed, he raised his head, the roses in his light-colored eyes were particularly clear , he clenched the hand that Tang Erda wanted to take away, "But you, captain, are different! You are the one chosen by the prophet! You can definitely change everything!"
At this moment, Tang Erda seemed to have all the memories in the timeline converged on this sentence.
[Captain! You can do it for sure! 】
[Captain, I believe in you! 】
[Captain, ahem, as long as you are alive, we have hope! 】
Countless, all, different Su Chou, with bloody, broken, pale, scarred, or **** faces, all stared at him with bright eyes filled with relief and hope. Him, call him Captain.
Then the next moment, he smiled and died for him, and his soul disappeared in the light in an instant, without any trace.
Tang Erda looked vaguely at Su Chao anxiously staring at his face. For a moment, he felt that what he accepted was no longer Su Chao's entrustment and trust, but a desperate curse and staying away.
Su Chao moved his body forward with difficulty, leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Captain, listen, there is no point in rescuing me. You should be promoted to the factory after you got here. There is an antidote for rose perfume, but only every factory manager knows the antidote.”
"As long as you are promoted from a perfumer to a factory manager, you will know what the antidote is." At this point, Su Chao was a little out of breath, and he leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder and rested with his head up , and then quickly continued, with a smile in his tone, "At that time, you can save these polluted people."
Tang Erda couldn't tell how long he had been silent before he said hoarsely: "...What about you?"
Su Chao didn't speak, but leaned quietly on Tang Erda's shoulder, with his eyes closed and his chest heaving slightly.
Their tacit understanding does not require them to say anything, both of them understand what kind of decision Su Chao has made - Su Chao decided to sacrifice himself to test Tang Erda, so that Tang Erda can be successfully promoted to factory work.
This is equivalent to letting Tang Erda kill Su Chao with his own hands to save other people in this game.
Even this Su Chao is just a character in the game, just a fake Su Chao, but Tang Er can't kill him.
"But the captain..." Su Chao leaned on Tang Erda's shoulder and opened his empty eyes, as if muttering to himself, "It's impossible to save me, I'm addicted. "
"Captain, you have to be more open to being a human being. Death is such a thing... Humans are all going to die." Su Chao's tone had a casual, indifferent smile, as if he was coaxing Tang Erda, " If I have to die, I hope my death is meaningful to you."
"I'm actually very happy to see you before you wither completely, because at least it means that I have been struggling and suffering like a fool for so long, and the self-torture of not being willing to give in to rose perfume is meaningful." Su Chao turned his head on Tang Erda's shoulder, and looked at him very tenderly, "What I mean is to wait for you, Captain."
Tang Erda could see that the cracks on Su Chou's face were gradually deepening and falling off, with blood oozing from the edges, and Su Chou reflected in his pupils became more and more like a rose.
More and more like a monster.
He had never seen life passing through a human body so clearly.
Su Chao looked at Tang Erda imploringly.
Tang Er let go of Su Chou's hand holding him little by little, and then shook the hand that he let go voluntarily. He lowered his head, couldn't see clearly, his voice was so hoarse that he could almost hear it Unclear: "...test, how to do it?"
Su Chao laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, captain."
"That's right." Su Chao seemed to have remembered something important, and his face became serious, "Captain, do you still remember the living heretic Bai Liu who you captured and then escaped? Wait until you leave here, If there is a chance to find him, please kill this man."
"This is the man who blew up the factory we went to inspect on the day he escaped from the Dangerous Heresy Administration."
——————————
In another cage across the wall.
At Luyi Station, I finally figured out that the person in front of me was really Bai Liu, who had become Liu Jiayi. The two of them chatted without any tension.
Bai Liu opened his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yizhan sitting opposite him: "Did I blow up the rose factory?"
"Yes." Lu Yizhan didn't seem to feel that he was talking about an important topic, his body and tone were very relaxed, lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, "I also work for the Dangerous Heresy Bureau All the staff have seen it, and I use my ten-year knowledge of you to guarantee that standing on the rose factory, the person who claims to blow up the factory is definitely you."
"You said you were going to cause an explosion, leak rose dry leaf gas, and destroy the world. I also talked to you a few times, and I finally confirmed that you are the one I know. You are right." Lu Yizhan turned his back and said .
The timeline of the game "Rose Factory" is ten years after the real world.
Bai Liu sorted out the timeline that Lu Yizhan told him.
The explosion that led to the popularization of dried rose leaf gas all over the world occurred the day after Bai Liu escaped from the dangerous heresy bureau.
On the same day, Lu Yizhan and the deputy captain of the third team of the Dangerous Heresy Management Bureau, Su Chao, both came to the Rose Factory on the same day to investigate the factory that was forcibly closed down but reopened in secret—this is Bailiu's work in this place. What he saw in the factory's newspaper was basically in line with Bai Liu's inferred reality, and it was also consistent with what Lu Yizhan told him just now.
As for what happened after Lu Yizhan said, Bai Liu only raised his eyebrows after hearing a few words.
Lu Yizhan said that when they arrived at the factory, they searched everywhere in the factory for containers suspected of storing dried rose gas. where.
They searched without sleep until the early hours of the morning, but found nothing except some iron pots and stills containing the residue of the rose training.
At this time, Bai Liu appeared on the roof of the rose factory out of nowhere, as if falling from the sky, holding a big lama who didn't know where to get it, and lazily shouting at the crowd below with one hand in his pocket ——
As Lu Yizhan said, he imitated the scene at that time by comparing his hands to a big lama: "I am the anti-social Bailiu, because I have been laid off for more than a month, I can't find a job, and I have no money to earn. I am very sad and feel that the world will be destroyed with me, so I will detonate this factory later, let the rose dry leaf gas leak, and let everyone play with me."
Bai Liu was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then the rose factory exploded?"
Lu Yizhan nodded honestly: "Well, then you disappeared completely. Because of this, for a while, the Dangerous Heresy Management Bureau issued a bounty for your arrest warrant to 16 million, and I was a little tempted."
Bai Liu squinted at Lu Yizhan who was lying on the bed: "Don't you think I made the explosion?"
If Lu Yizhan is sure that Bai Liu made the explosion, as long as he can still move, as soon as Bai Liu walks in, he is guaranteed to bounce off the bed and kill Bai Liu on the spot.
But now Lu Yizhan is still lying on the bed calmly chatting with Bai Liu, which proves that Lu Yizhan feels that the explosion has nothing to do with Bai Liu.
Lu Yizhan was silent for a while before speaking: "I'm sure you were the one who shouted on the roof of the Rose Factory that the factory would be blown up, and I'm also sure that the Rose Factory exploded within fifteen minutes after you finished speaking. There was this perfume leak that endangered everyone."
Then Lu Yizhan gave a very thoughtless speculation: "But I don't think you did this."
Bai Liu asked interestingly: "Why?"
Bai Liu seldom doubts Lu Yizhan's inferences about him. Lu Yizhan may be more familiar with him than he is, and he will never lie to him.
Lu Yizhan said that the person standing on the roof was Bai Liu, and Bai Liu guessed that it was really him.
Lu Yizhan looked up at the top of the cage as if in a daze for a while, and then answered Bai Liu's words: "It's very unprofessional subjective speculation, I believe you would not do such a thing."
Bai Liu squinted at him: "I never knew that you still trust my character?"
Lu Yizhan let out a slow "hey", turned his head and glanced at Bai Liu lightly: "It's not because of this, I can't believe your character."
If it weren't for the strange lines on Lu Yizhan's face, their conversation would have been as calm as usual gags.
Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu: "But I believe in your business ethics. You made a ten-year hot pot deal with me yesterday. There is no need to destroy the world before you have eaten a meal. How much is that?" What a loss, I don't believe you can do such a thing."
"Yeah." Bai Liu glanced at Lu Yizhan, "Although I think so too, other people don't think so, do they?"
Lu Yizhan smiled, turned his head back again, and said with emotion: "Indeed, I was the only one who felt this way among the people who went to the factory that day. There is a high bounty for you."
"It's a pity that they couldn't last, and they all left one by one." Lu Yizhan's expression finally became complicated, and he sighed, "The people in this world who can still believe in you persistently, And the person who hates you, it seems that there is only one left."
The person who believes in Bai Liu is obviously Lu Yizhan. According to the bad taste of the game designer, if Bai Liu's guess is correct, the person who hates him should be Su Chao. Most of the paper is Su Chao.
Lu Yizhan continued: "During the ten years here, I have been thinking about the ten years I have known you, trying to find clues about who you really are, so as to prove that I don't treat you well. It will detonate the speculation of the rose factory, and another person keeps emphasizing the evidence, emphasizing that he saw you detonate the factory with his own eyes."
Lu Yizhan stared straight at the ceiling, his tone became very light, as if he was talking to himself: "What kind of person are you, has become the only reason for our survival."
"Recalling the later period, I began to doubt whether you existed, whether you were just a friend I imagined because I was too lonely here, a murderer, a kind of self-compensating salvation in order to stay awake-knowing that there is You exist, I at least have a little hope."
Bai Liu turned her head calmly: "So?"
Lu Yizhan gave Bai Liu a blank look as if complaining: "At any rate, please sympathize with me, I am so miserable."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yi stood silent for a moment, and he smiled: "So for a while, whenever someone came in to test the perfume, I would ask them - do you know Bai Liu, what do you think of him?"
"Maybe because I cooperated with the fragrance test very well, and they basically answered. I got many, many answers about [White Willow], but none of them can convince me that you really exist, and none of them can describe what I know. people."
Lu Yizhan struggled to support the edge of the bed and sat up. He took two deep breaths and looked up at Bai Liu: "Now it's your turn to answer my question. Do you know Bai Liu?"
He looked straight at Bai Liu who was standing by the bed with a good eye: "——What kind of person do you think Bai Liu is?"
"I know Bai Liu." Bai Liu looked at the weak and panting Lu Yizhan very calmly, and said, "He is shameless, despicable, without empathy, unscrupulous, without conventional social awareness, ordinary value orientation, and also A person who does not accept the kidnapping of the unspoken rules of universal morality, in simple terms, is a complete jerk, coupled with a strong desire for money, is a very dangerous person in all aspects.”
"Yeah." Lu Yizhan nodded seriously, "It's the Bai Liu I know, that's right, continue."
Bai Liu stared at Lu Yizhan for a long time, and then said: "He is indeed your friend, so even if he is such a bastard, he will keep his deal with you-I will not detonate the factory. The man on the roof of the factory is indeed me, and there should be some circumstances that forced me to say that and make that choice, but I will not do things that violate the deal.”
Lu Yizhan was stunned for a moment, and he smiled sincerely: "Yes, I believe so too."
Bai Liu took a step forward: "Okay, I've finished talking nonsense with you, teach me how to test."
Lu Yizhan was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly: "You are too cruel, Bai Liu, I just heard from that factory worker that your talent is very likely to kill me once tested!"
"You may die here." Bai Liu glanced at Lu Yizhan, "But the real you will not die, do you want to make a deal with me? I can stop the explosion that has already happened and save you and me others."
Lu Yizhan looked at Bai Liu in a daze for a while, although he didn't seem to understand what Bai Liu was talking about, and he didn't know how Bai Liu could stop what had happened--
——But he knew that at least 50% of the deal that Bai Liu said was something he could do by himself.
"Yes!" Lu Yizhan replied quickly, his eyes lit up, "What is the transaction?"
Bai Liu: "Take me to the hot pot for twenty years."
"Including the previous ten years, it's thirty years! It's too much!!" Lu Yizhan screamed, "Look at me now, I may not be able to live that long!!"
Bai Liu glanced at him: "Then in order to make this deal with me, try to live until then."
Lu Yizhan was stunned, he looked at Bai Liu with an indifferent expression, and couldn't help laughing.
Everyone who cares about is so oblique-it's really me.
————————
Su Chao grabbed Tang Erda's hands, and he rarely showed such regretful expression on his face: "Captain, I and other team members regret every day that I didn't carry out your orders seriously. He can be killed on the day he lives in Bailiu, so many people..."
His light-colored eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was hoarse and broken: "So many people will not die because of Bai Liu's revenge, because of the leakage and spread of such things!!!"
"Captain, if only I could have prevented this from happening, it's all my fault..."
Su Chao seemed to be overwhelmed by some extremely heavy responsibility and emotion, he slowly bent his body in front of Tang Erda.
He seemed to have aged decades because of remorse and self-blame in an instant, the joints on his back were like beads bulging on his overly thin back, and he was so skinny that he couldn't stand upright.
Tang Erda clenched his fists—it was too late for Su Chao in front of him.
But for him, it was still too late.
As long as he clears the level in time, finds the antidote, and kills Bai Liu—everything he saw, this Su Chao who is so painful that he wants to die, all of this will never happen again.
Tang Erda calculated in his mind the corresponding time when the game ends in reality, and just now when Su Chao told him the time when Bai Liu caused the explosion, his eyes flicked involuntarily—this is equivalent to Bai Liu going to the game immediately after clearing the level. There was an explosion at the factory.
You have to kill Bai Liu in the game!
He already knew that he would get the antidote after becoming the factory director, and Bai Liu could no longer keep it!
