The bullet passed Bai Liu's eyes and hit the wall behind him with a very strong "bang", causing people outside to knock on the door to ask what's the matter, and Su Chao even opened the small window to warn Tang Erda seriously .

\"Tang Erda, shooting a gun in such a narrow room is an act of courting death. The shrapnel that bounced off can shoot through your head. You'd better not play this kind of game in front of me, which will accidentally kill yourself Killing suicide game, what you hold is a gun, not a toy." Su Chao said coldly, "If you play yourself to death, I won't collect your body."

Tang Erda casually put the gun on the table, he turned his head and smirked and raised his hands to Su Chao to indicate that he didn't play with the gun.

As if joking, he casually glanced at Bai Liu who was sitting across from him, who was also unmoved, and clicked his tongue: "I just wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect you to be scared, Captain Su, you don't need to be so concerned This Comrade Bai Liu."

"After all, he and I probably don't care much about whether you die or not." Tang Er approached Bai Liu with a smile, raised his eyebrows, and lowered his voice hoarsely, "It's not like I never died, you're right, right? Bai Liu?"

Su Chao didn't hear Tang Erda's last words, but gave him a warning look, put down the small window, and said nothing to the team members outside.

"You do have to die, but not now, and not in the heresy bureau. It will be very troublesome for you to die here." Tang Er opened his wrinkled eyelids, "It's not the first time I killed you, Bai Liu , so if you don't want to die so early and have no way to make money, you better be honest and tell me what is the solution to the dried rose leaves gas on the table?"

Tang Erda shot the glass bottle with the muzzle of his gun while talking, with a familiar and disgusted expression on his face: "After this thing appeared for a while, it quickly became popular all over the world. In everyone's eyes They all grow roses."

"People who don't have the money to buy this stuff wither in the streets and roadsides, slums and low-rent housing are full of withered flesh petals, while the roses in the eyes of rich people can flourish, and finally everyone is selling it We couldn’t find out the source of the production and production of this thing, and this time it appeared inexplicably again.”

"I hate this thing very much, but you like this kind of thing very much, don't you, Bai Liu?" Tang Er fixed his eyes on Bai Liu.

"Why do you think that I have something to do with this rose gas?" Bai Liu asked unhurriedly, "There must be a way to solve this thing?"

"Because in a certain timeline when I caught you, you did help our Bureau of Heretics to solve this matter." Tang Erda said.

Bai Liu quickly caught the point of Tang Erda's words: "I won't do things for you for free just because you caught me and wanted to kill me. Did you give me money?"

Tang Er showed that expression as if he had swallowed a thousand flies, and finally he waved his hand and admitted a little sullenly: "Tsk, yes, I gave a lot, and in that timeline, because you solved the rose stem Yevas's outstanding contribution, and you were acquitted in the end."

He looked down at Bai Liu without any emotion in his eyes: "Although all of us know that you must be connected with this thing, we let you go because there is no direct evidence that you have used this thing for profit."

"All we can get is indirect evidence that you are connected with dried rose leaf gas. We clearly know that the source of this thing is you, and you have not denied this, but because you have no direct evidence of using this thing for profit. , so in the end, at Su Chao's insistence, he thought you were innocent in this matter, so you couldn't be arrested and you were let go."

"A year later, the seller of this thing even opened a retail store outside the Heresy Administration, and the whole world is full of withered corpses because of this thing." Tang Er fell silent for a second, "In that timeline, Su Chao's parents bought Before rose stem leaf gas died at home, Su Chao entered the game in order to revive his parents."

Bai Liu's eyes fell on the bottle of rose-colored perfume: "This is indeed not in line with my concept of profit."

Tang Er glanced over extremely sharply, with a sharp sneer on his face: "You still have the idea of ​​making profits? Don't you want money? Because you were acquitted, this thing is to some extent If it is above, it will be grayed out and legalized."

"Those manufacturers claim that this perfume is the same thing as cigarettes, except for a small number of people with allergies, it will not be fatal, because your acquittal brought great convenience to their early marketing and promotion of this perfume, and they also handed over to you for this. I offered you a large sum of money, and I didn't see you refuse?"

"Yes, I shouldn't refuse the money sent to me, but if I already had the status and resources you mentioned in that timeline, I would not introduce this addictive perfume." Bai Liu Reaching out to pick up the small rose-colored glass bottle, he observed intently at his fingertips, "Because this perfume is addictive and exploited, this resource of people is non-renewable and disposable, just like a rose that can only be bloomed once. it withers."

"This is the lowest level of capital exploitation, it's so stupid." Bai Liu lightly raised his head to look at Tang Erda, "I prefer leeks to roses, because leeks can be regenerated."

"If I were an existence that could permanently exploit the lower layers, then I would not easily and completely harvest them. I would cultivate them well, give them the space and resources to grow, and allow them to regenerate forever. Turning them into roses is too extravagant It’s not my way of making money.”

Tang Erda: "..."

No matter how many times I saw Bai Liu, this person's nonsense and brainwashing abilities never diminished.

"I don't care if you like roses or leeks, you'd better tell me your solution to this kind of rose gas." Tang Erda smiled hypocritically and politely, "Also, the room here is the one I use. The props are specially made to isolate all evil things including the coin, even if you swallow the coin, you will not be able to enter the game."

He slapped Bai Liu's face slowly with his gun, and smiled more and more kindly: "I have plenty of time and methods to spend with you slowly, old friend."

"Captain Tang, am I, a time-space prisoner, qualified to ask you one last question?" Bai Liu looked up into Tang Erda's eyes, "If you succeed in killing me in other timelines, then in this timeline , I'm just an ordinary person, why don't you kill me as soon as you come to this timeline, but wait until this gas appears before coming to me?"

"Because I thought you were dead." Tang Erda stared deeply at Bai Liu, "I originally wanted to kill you before you grew up, so I followed the clues I got in other timelines to find out where you should be. That private orphanage is the place where you haven't grown up yet."

"In every timeline I have experienced and checked, you grew up in that private orphanage that abused children. I can find traces of your existence there almost every time, but this time, the institution there The chief told me that Bai Liu died of swallowing coins when he was fourteen years old, you actually died?"

Tang Erda paused here for two seconds.

"After you grew up, you dragged out almost all the investors and directors in the orphanage who caused your childhood tragedy, and dragged them into the game. These people died horribly. You didn't kill them yourself. You just You have induced them to enter the game in various ways, and let them die in the bite of monsters. Bai Liu, you have always been so clever in doing bad things. It is difficult for us to catch any clues and traces. It is quite difficult to verify you. .”

When Tang Erda said this, his expression was a little dazed, and he tapped twice on the table with his fingertips unconsciously: "You can't die so easily, I don't believe you died at all, after you entered the game Under normal circumstances, it should be other people who suffer, and you will commit suicide after being tortured by these investors, which is not something you will do at all.”

"But all the traces I found prove that this child who committed suicide for some reason is you."

Tang Erda lit another cigarette, he didn't look at Bai Liu, his eyes fell on a certain point in the room, and said, "I never thought that there would be another you in this timeline."

He slowly moved his eyes to Bai Liu's face.

Tang Erda and Bai Liu looked straight at each other through the smoke: "In this timeline, there is actually another person who grew up in a public orphanage, changed his name, and has no evil at all. It looks like Erda He hasn't done any bad things in fifteen years, and he has survived to the current laid-off version of Bai Liu."

"This is impossible to happen to you bastard. You will never tolerate yourself staying in such a low-cost and profitable position for so long." Tang Erda took a deep breath of the cigarette, and he suddenly exhaled, Shaking the soot on his fingertips, "Working for others with low wages as a social animal? If I dream that you, a bastard, will have such a day, I will wake up laughing."

"This is a tailor-made torture for you. It's worse than killing you. I don't even know how you endured it."

Tang Erda continued: "As long as you are given the slightest chance, you will become a money-gathering machine without any conscience, will domesticate and own the most fearsome and loyal criminal gang in the world, and then become a well-trained Su's Tunjin Group, the wealth of the world is like an old wallet with a leak, falling into the open hands of you, a tramp."

Tang Er sat on the table in meditation, he took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then exhaled it from his nasal cavity.

One by one smoke rings floated in front of Bai Liu's eyes, Bai Liu's face tilted slightly, and his breathing rate slowed down a bit.

Tang Erda suddenly laughed very strangely and happily: "Yes, you hate the smell of cigarettes, seeing you being forced to stay in an environment you don't like for so long, it's really—"

"—It's better than killing you with my own hands."
