I Became a God in a Horror Game

Bai Liu looked at the system panel that popped up. After Alex’s favorability dropped briefly, it rose again. He realized that Tang Erda’s affairs had been taken care of.

He was now in his dormitory, converted from a hotel in the town. A small room, crammed with bunk beds for dozens of new recruits – this was the best room available.

But fortunately, all these people were gone now, except Spades sitting next to Bai Liu and Guy sitting opposite him.

Guy propped himself up on the bed with open hands. He noticed Bai Liu’s eyes looking around and smiled kindly: “You’re not used to it, are you? These are already the best conditions here.”

“But tonight you can probably have this room to yourself and have a pleasant time for two.” Guy winked, “These new guys will party all night in the town’s taverns and brothels.”

“After all, they don’t know if they will come back alive from the assault mission, so they always have to enjoy themselves with the military pay issued to them in advance.”

Bai Liu looked at Guy: “You will go too, right?”

Guy shrugged his shoulders: “Everyone from the first commando team will go. Alex usually doesn’t allow me to attend such gatherings, but this time should be an exception.”

He smiled nonchalantly: “After all, you have to give someone their last meal before they die.” (2)

“Of course!” Guy seemed helpless under restraint, but his smile was full of happiness, “He won’t trust me to go alone.”

After knowing that Alex, the mainline NPC, would go, Bai Liu immediately asked, “Can we go with you?”

Guy raised his head in surprise, leaned forward and held Bai Liu’s hand: “Of course! I thought you wouldn’t like this kind of occasion.”

Sitting beside him, Spades’ eyes slowly moved down and landed on Bai Liu’s hand holding Guy. He paused for a moment, then looked away, lowered his gaze and rubbed his toes.

Guy was completely unaware of Spades’ gaze and continued excitedly: “I have also prepared a show for Alex tonight. It would be great if you, as friends, could come!”

Bai Liu realized that this might be a hidden plot. He smiled and asked, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“God, you’ve hit the nail on the head, Bai Liu!” Guy was distressed but happy, “I was really worried that no one could help me. This is a big show, and it has to be carried out without telling Alex. Those guys don’t have the consciousness to keep secrets, so I can only do it secretly alone.”

“It would be great if you and Spades would help.”

Bai Liu smiled and said, “Of course.”

Guy stood up excitedly: “Then I’m going to get the list now. There are a lot of things to prepare for this show.”

When Guy left, Bai Liu suppressed the smile on his face, and Spades sat silently by his side. There was still a distance of no less than 50 centimeters between the two of them.

Ever since leaving the camp, Bai Liu had kept this distance from Spades and had not said a word to him again.

Bai Liu talked to Alex, talked to Tang Erda, talked a lot with Guy, and even shook hands.

But he just wouldn’t talk to Spades.

“Are you deliberately not talking to me?” Spades lowered his gaze and asked.

There were only two people in the room, him and Bai Liu. Although he didn’t look at Bai Liu, it was obvious that he was talking to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu was silent for a few seconds. He turned his face and looked at the door that Guy had left open before leaving: “Yes.”

Spade raised his head and looked at him: “Are you angry that I kissed you?”

Bai Liu calmly replied: “No.”

Spades was confused: “Then why won’t you talk to me?”

Bai Liu turned to look at Spades and asked calmly: “Do I have an obligation to talk to you?”

Spades closed, then opened his mouth again: “But we have a special relationship, so we should talk more.”

“That was in front of Guy, for the main mission. We are nothing in private.” Bai Liu raised his eyes, “I really hate you, Spades. I’ve said it three times. The most recent time was forty-seven minutes ago. Do you need me to repeat what I said before?”

Spades was silent for a while, he shook the whip held in his left hand hanging by the bed, and then said:

“That was forty-seven minutes ago. I thought you didn’t hate me now.”

Bai Liu looked away: “Mr. Spades, has anything happened in the past forty-seven minutes that would make me not hate you?”

Spade looked at him: “I carried your bag for you.”

Bai Liu said coldly: “Tang Erda also helped me carry it.”

Spades said seriously: “You were happier when I carried it for you.”

“I saw you look at me and smile a few times.”

Bai Liu: “…”

Bai Liu retorted calmly: “I didn’t.”

Spades repeated more seriously: “You have, you were behind me…”

“——Okay, shut up.” Bai Liu interrupted Spades. He took a deep breath and turned his head away with no emotion on his face. He tightened his fingers on the edge of the bed slightly, “That wasn’t a smile for you, it was just to make fun of Tang Erda.”

Spades’ shaking whip stopped for a moment, he said oh then said nothing again.

“We have a special relationship in front of Guy, but not in private, right?” After a while, Spades asked again.

Bai Liu’s eyes were half closed, and he hummed without looking back.

Guy returned, dragging several large boxes of things, holding a long pole under his armpit, and a notepad in his mouth. There were too many things, and Guy was blocked by the doorframe and couldn’t get in.

Bai Liu and Spades stood up to help carry the boxes.

Guy fell limply back on the bed and gasped: “God, doing this is much more tiring than fighting.”

“What are these things?” Bai Liu asked.

Guy sat up and smiled mysteriously at Bai Liu: “It’s something that can make this little bastard Alex smile at me all day long. Of course, usually Alex always smiles at me normally.”

“You know, when you like someone, you can’t help but smile at him.” Guy winked at Bai Liu, “Just like you did with Spades.”

The expression on Bai Liu’s face froze.

Spades, who was packing the box, slowly straightened up. He was looking at Bai Liu with keen eyes. Although he didn’t say a word, Bai Liu read [You were smiling at me] from this guy’s unwavering eyes.

Bai Liu explained calmly: “No, I was laughing at Tang Erda.”

“Come on!” Guy waved his hand and lay down again, “It’s okay for you to lie to others. The look and smile you do to Spades are exactly the same as when I was with Alex just now.”

“What a wonderful period of love.” Guy sighed while lying on the bed.

Spades nodded in agreement.

Bai Liu glanced at Spades slowly. Spades nodded for a moment, and then said without any desire to survive: “You were smiling at me.”

“You didn’t laugh at Tang Erda.” He also emphasized, “You said it wrong.”

Bai Liu smiled nonchalantly and raised his eyes: “I made a mistake, so what?”

“I smiled at you this time, but I don’t have to smile at you next time. I can keep laughing at Tang Erda, after all…” Bai Liu smiled very kindly. He leaned close to Spades and whispered in Spades’ ear, “When Guy is not here, I can smile at whoever I want, and for as long as I want.”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

After saying that, Bai Liu turned around and sorted out the contents on the list with Guy.

Spades’ originally high spirits slowly fell back. He sat down on the edge of the bed and lowered his head to sort out the items in the box that Guy brought back. He seemed to be in deep thought, but also seemed a little confused as to why he was so depressed.

Guy picked up the geography items from the list. He noticed the little movements of Bai Liu and Spades, nudged Bai Liu with his elbow, and smiled knowingly: “What are you and Spades doing?”

“Nothing is as exciting as the show you and Alex had before.” Bai Liu changed the topic as if nothing had happened. He glanced at the things prepared on the list and looked up at Guy, “The relationship between you guys is really good.”

Guy held his chin, looking nostalgic, with a slight smile on his lips: “It’s not always good, he and I have also had arguments.”

He recalled quietly for a while and said abruptly: “Alex has a fiancée in his hometown.”

Bai Liu showed surprise at the right time.

“What’s with your expression?” Guy raised his eyebrows, “I didn’t do anything to fight for his love. When Alex and I got together, he didn’t have a fiancée. This was the one his parents chose for him later. After Alex received the photo of his fiancée from his parents, he immediately rejected it in a letter.”

“But you know what? I think I might be mentally ill.”

Guy smiled absently: “I even wanted to stop Alex from refusing for a moment, but it was unfair to the little girl, and Alex felt the same way.”

Bai Liu listened quietly.

“Alex is an excellent medical student. He made a lot of achievements while in college. He invented a medicine that can preserve the body of a dying person. This can extend the time before death and save more people who were going to die – that’s why he came to be a clean-up soldier, he wanted to see if he could help these soldiers.”

Guy recalled: “That little girl, Alex’s fiancée, was a small-town girl who admired him. Even though Alex wrote to tell her that he had a lover, she was still determined to wait for Alex to come back. She said that even if he wants to give up on her, he will have to give up on her face to face after he comes back alive.”

“——I won’t accept a letter from someone whose life or death is unknown, rejecting my love is disrespectful to me.”

Guy laughed: “That is a very good little girl. She knows that I am a man, but she even challenged me in the letter to say hello, and arrogantly asked us to come back alive to give her love a perfect ending.”

He lowered his head meekly and touched the wedding dress he took from the box in his arms.

“I’m a cunning person. I didn’t tell Alex that I’d been drafted into the commandos, but I told his fiancée in a letter. I begged and pleaded with her if she could let me marry Alex before she did.”

“What a despicable act, anyone who hears it would feel sick.” Guy smiled self-deprecatingly, looking at the wedding dress, “That little girl didn’t write a single word of reply to me.”

“She just… rushed overnight to make this wedding dress in the size of an adult man and sent it to the front line. It was mailed to me. The sentence “God bless you with eternal happiness” was sewn on the wedding dress.”

Guy raised his red eyes and smiled softly and reluctantly: “You know Bai Liu, I am a very lucky person. I have never met too many bad people. People around me treat me very well with kindness, integrity, and a shining soul.”

“But I am so bitter and sad.” Guy’s eyes filled with tears, “because every one of them had a bad life because of the war.”

“No one can be happy because of war, so why does war still exist?”

Bai Liu looked at Guy who was crying calmly.

He said: “Because God does not want you to be happy, so He creates war.”

At night, the town is brightly lit.

The upcoming war lit up the town in advance. Everyone was drinking heavily as if they had already won a battle. Beer foam was all over the street.

The first assault team had contracted a tavern. The veterans almost emptied the wine racks in the tavern, and the boss was busy transporting wine from the cellar below. The concentration of alcohol was so high that a few sniffs of the air here would have made a person tipsy.

In this situation, people who are not drinking are a bit conspicuous.

Tang Erda held a glass of wine and sat next to Alex. They all drank low-alcohol wine. Even Spades took a glass of sparkling wine and put it on the table.

Only Bai Liu was holding a glass of plain water with ice cubes.

“You… can’t drink at all?” Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu in surprise.

In his mind, it was incredible that Bai Liu wouldn’t drink, because he remembered that Bai Liu (6) drank…

Bai Liu looked at him faintly: “A social worker has no right to drink. When I work overtime and look at the computer the next day, I will have a headache and explode. I will not make trouble for myself.”

Tang Erda: “…”

Life has really changed you a lot, Bai Liu.

Spades sat aside and watched Bai Liu chatting with Tang Erda without saying a word. He opened his mouth and tried to say a few words, but he thought of Bai Liu’s threatening smile before and the sentence “I want to smile at Tang Erda all the time.” and swallowed silently.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the vodka in the glass.

Generally speaking, The Judge also strictly forbids him to drink. Although Spades is not the type who has a bad taste in wine, nor is he the type who gets dizzy after drinking, he will be particularly troubling when he is drunk, and he will do anything. If you get to the bottom of it, anyone who talks to him will be pissed off to death.

To put it simply, he will become a bully.

To be on the safe side, Spades was not prepared to touch alcohol. After all, The Judge had warned him many times that he would easily offend others after drinking.

Although Spades doesn’t know what’s so terrible about offending others, he will not take the initiative to drink because he has been nagged by The Judge too much.

Bai Liu drank a sip of ice water and watched with interest as Tang Erda drank as if he was drinking water: “You’re a good drinker.”

Tang Erda paused as he raised his glass: “For a while… I used wine to drown my sorrows. I got used to it after drinking too much.”

Bai Liu instantly realized what Tang Erda was talking about, and he said in an apologetic tone: “I’m sorry.”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Tang Erda shook his head, calmed down and drank half a cup again, but his eyes were still clear, “It won’t happen now, I drink less.”

Bai Liu smiled: “It’s also a good thing to drink a lot. I quite like the fact that you can drink a lot.”

Spades, who was sitting behind Bai Liu, straightened his back impassively.

Tang Erda relied on his drinking ability to help Bai Liu block many NPCs who came to him for a drink, so Bai Liu said this.

But Spades misunderstood the situation. He held the whip and sat down in front of Tang Erda expressionlessly, pushing Bai Liu away, and put a wine glass in front of Tang Erda: “Want to drink?”

Tang Erda, who was immersed in memories, said: “???”

Tang Erda turned his head to look at Bai Liu behind Spades with question marks on his face, but before he could see Bai Liu’s expression change, Spades turned his shoulder and blocked Bai Liu behind him.

Spades said coldly: “I asked you to drink, what are you looking at Bai Liu for?”

Bai Liu’s calm voice came from behind Spades: “Drinking will cause trouble, don’t drink with him-”

Before he finished speaking, several wasted drunkards next to him seemed to be attracted by the tense atmosphere. They opened their eyes wide and leaned over to sit on the bar, applauding and cheering: “Someone is making a drink with vodka!”

“Come on, boss, bring all the vodka in your hotel!”

“Have a drinking fight before the big fight!”

In this extremely indulgent atmosphere, almost in the blink of an eye, the bar around Spades and Tang Erda was densely filled with all kinds of brewed drinks. A group of people around them were whistling and screaming, just watching the fun. It seemed to be a big deal.

There was no expression on Spades’ face. He raised his chin at Tang Erda and said, “Do you want to drink?”

As a main attacker, Tang Erda would completely obey Bai Liu’s instructions in the game. He subconsciously looked for Bai Liu’s figure in the crowd that was surrounding him.

Spades stood up and blocked Tang Erda’s line of sight. He looked at him levelly: “How long do you want to think about it for?”

“He won’t drink with you.” Bai Liu walked out of the crowd. He stood in front of Tang Erda and looked directly at Spades.

Tang Erda breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hands to signal his surrender.

Huge boos erupted nearby, and the onlookers prepared to leave in disappointment.

“You and I are a couple.” Spades was relentless. He reached out and pulled Alex in from the crowd who was about to sneak away, and then looked directly at Bai Liu, “Alex is here. You should be on my side, we have a special relationship now.”

Alex, who was inexplicably dragged into the field, covered his face and pretended that he didn’t exist.

God! I’d rather go to the front!

Bai Liu sneered: “So what if it’s a special relationship? Tang Erda and I also have a special relationship when we fight. We are soulmates (2). You are just acting on occasion.”

Tang Erda was hit by Bai Liu’s laughter, which sent chills down his spine. He felt that Bai Liu was provoked by Spades.

Tang Erda, who didn’t want to be stirred into the muddy water, pretended to be calm and retreated stiffly, but Bai Liu pulled him to him by the collar and patted Tang Erda twice on the shoulder.

Spades’ eyes looked seriously at Tang Erda’s shoulders: “A special relationship can only tolerate two people.”

“Bai Liu, you said it wrong again.”

Bai Liu smiled more tenderly than ever before: “How could I say it wrong? I have a special relationship with him. Isn’t it okay to end the special relationship with you?”

Spades pursed his lower lip tightly, his dark eyes hinting at some emotion.

Tang Erda: “…”

No, Bai Liu is really angry! He couldn’t handle this situation!

It would be nice if Liu Jiayi was here. He has no idea what Bai Liu and Spades are doing!

Spades seemed to realize that he couldn’t defeat Bai Liu, so he walked around Bai Liu and stared at Tang Erda: “Would you like to drink with me?”

Bai Liu smiled kindly and friendly. He stood sideways in front of Tang Erda: “He is my soulmate. I am responsible for him. If you want to drink with him, there is no reason for me to ignore him.”

He reached out and grabbed the glass of vodka from Spades’ hand, drank it simply, then turned the glass upside down and placed it smoothly on the table.

Bai Liu raised his eyes and smiled: “How about you and I drink together?”

Spades stared at Bai Liu for a while, and after realizing that Bai Liu really would not back down and would definitely keep drinking for Tang Erda, he completely calmed down and stood motionless on the spot, the fingers holding the whip slightly curled up.

Alex, who was tightly held by Spades and couldn’t leave: “…”

Brother, don’t vent your anger on my arm, it hurts me so much when you pinch it!

Guy, help—! !

When Alex thought that Spades would directly beat up Tang Erda, the mistress, and Bai Liu, the scumbag, Spades had a drink without hesitation.

Spades imitated Bai Liu’s actions and put down the glass, looking straight at Bai Liu: “Okay, let’s compete. If I win, we still have a special relationship. You have to admit that you were smiling at me before, not at Tang Erda.”

Bai Liu paused imperceptibly, clasping his fingers on the wine glass, a thin blush appeared under his eyes, and his voice became softer for some reason: “…Admit it, just admit it.”

(1) in the original it refers to ‘断头饭’ – as in the last meal usually given to someone thats been sentenced to death.

(2) ‘灵魂挚友’ directly translates to soul friend but it sounds weird in english so i decided to change it to soulmate (platonic).
