I Became a God in a Horror Game

Bai Liu turned his face away from the approaching Spades. He could smell the obvious alcohol in Spades’ breath.

Of course, maybe it’s not Spades’, it might be his.

Bai Liu probably drank more vodka tonight than he had drank in his entire life.

Although his actions and thoughts seemed to be very stable, his limbs also felt weak from drinking. As soon as Spades opened his arms and walked over, Bai Liu couldn’t help but move back and lean his shoulders against the wall for support.

Spades lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Liu, who was blushing. This time, he didn’t ask why Bai Liu turned red – because Bai Liu’s face was red all the time after drinking.

The sounds from across the wall had become muffled.

Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes to look at Spades, his breathing was warm and light, and Spades could see a very shallow halo of alcohol and drunkenness in Bai Liu’s eyes.

That halo made Bai Liu’s eyes out of focus. It was clear that his eyes were on Spades’ face, but Spades always felt that Bai Liu was looking through him, at someone hiding behind him.

“… I can put it on for you.” Bai Liu said softly. He seemed to be smiling and a little lazy, “But do you know where to wear it?”

Bai Liu’s smile became more obvious. He reached behind Spades and opened the drawer. There was a whole box of Ares condoms, ranging from small to large. Bai Liu took them all out and spread them out over the bed.

“?” Spades was a little confused, “Should I wear them all?”

Bai Liu raised his head, holding his chin with a half-smile, his eyes filled with undisguised mischief and nostalgia: “Have you ever played with balloons?”

Spades: “I’ve seen them, but I’ve never played with them.”

“It was the same for me when I was a child.” Bai Liu smiled, his eyes stopped on Spades’ face and became distant, “I grew up in an orphanage. The dean and teachers at the orphanage didn’t like children like me. During festivals, other children would get two balloons, but I didn’t get any.”

Spades’ lips pursed into a straight line: “They should have given them to you.”

“There is nothing that should or should not happen in this world.” Bai Liu lowered his eyes and said in a nonchalant voice, “I wouldn’t have been sad about this kind of thing, because the wholesale balloons are not worth much.”

Bai Liu paused: “But the other kid who didn’t get a balloon didn’t think so.”

“He got a bunch of balloons from somewhere, painted them colorfully with markers from the craft room, and handed them to me in front of all the children who got the balloons.”

Bai Liu lowered his head and smiled: “I saw the rubber rings on these balloons. He took them from the trash can, washed them, and tied them with string to make the balloons.”

“He didn’t know what these things were originally used for, but he turned them into balloons that children would find beautiful and gave them to me.”

Bai Liu’s eyelashes trembled slightly: “Essentially… I shouldn’t have been happy because of this kind of thing.”

“Because these balloons are actually not worth much, and they are dirty and disgusting.”

But Xie Ta just looked at him, holding up the balloons and looking at him. There were still small wounds on his hands from rummaging through the trash can, and Bai Liu quickly took them without knowing why.

Then Xie Ta looked at Bai Liu and smiled slightly.

At that moment, those cheap balloons and those dirty and disgusting condoms seemed to become pure and precious because of Xie Ta’s smile.

It was a very strange feeling. Bai Liu realized for the first time that the value of these items was actually subjectively biased.

“For the first time, I felt that these pretentious… things turned out to be valuable.” Bai Liu said softly, “Because he gave them to me.”

“He made those condoms feel less disgusting to me.”

Spades held up a box of condoms. After observing them for a while, he asked, “Are these disgusting balloons?”

“In the original concept, these are balloons used to do very dirty things.” Bai Liu raised his head, he reached out and touched Spades’ face and moved his hair away from his forehead. He looked at Spades’ half-closed pure black eyes, “It is used to accommodate the human body’s desire for complete contact.”

Spades was confused: “If you want complete contact, why do you need to use this thing to isolate?”

“Because of distrust, fear, dread.” Bai Liu lowered his eyes, “People can’t trust that the person they are in contact with has no disease, that they can marry them, that they can bring their children a happy marriage and future, and can love them forever, so they use this thing as the last insurance to protect themselves.”

“Most of the time, this is the correct way to use condoms – because there is really no one in this world who will love you forever and will not hurt you.”

“But people always use this excuse to get involved with each other, and then use this thing to separate themselves from each other – sometimes they don’t even use it, in order to better control and hurt the other person. Such as making the other person pregnant with their child, or having a better sexual experience.”

“From a universal logic point of view, it is right to use this thing.”

Bai Liu looked at Spades: “I thought this logic was ironic, so I told the person who gave me the balloons the origin and use of these balloons. At that time, I thought this was disgusting.”

“You know what he told me?”

Spades stared at Bai Liu and said calmly: “If I am a very harmful monster, when someone is willing to get close to me one day, this thing can protect him from me.”

“I don’t find it disgusting, it’s a protective prop.”

Bai Liu was quiet for a long time and said, “Yes, that person told me that too.”

“I can teach you how to use and wear it.” Bai Liu’s voice was very calm, “… Maybe there is no other person besides me who can teach you these things.”

Just like Xie Ta didn’t understand that the balloon he held up was a condom that everyone laughed at.

“No need.” Spades interrupted Bai Liu abruptly.

There was no emotion on his face. He suddenly stretched out his hand to collect all the condoms at once, swept them into the bedside table, then turned off the light. He turned around, pushed Bai Liu into the quilt and covered him, and said in a muffled voice: “I don’t want to wear it anymore. I’m going to sleep.”

Bai Liu looked at the ceiling. There was a faint banging and gasping from the bedside, but he smiled for some reason and asked, “Why not?”

Spades was silent for a long time in the dark night before replying: “I’m not sure if you won’t be hurt.”

“This protective prop looks fragile.”

Bai Liu’s voice was very calm: “Didn’t you already hurt me? Now you don’t want to do it anymore?”

“At that time, my intuition told me that I should separate you from that heart.” Spades’ tone was a little low, as if he felt that he had done something wrong.

Bai Liu asked: “What about now?”

“Now my gut tells me I shouldn’t hurt you anymore,” Spades said.

Bai Liu turned his head slightly, looked sideways at Spades, and imitated the man’s tone: “Why, there’s no reason, right?”

“There is a reason.” Spades said, “We got married and took an oath.”

In a strange tone, he solemnly mimicked the oaths made by the soldiers when they imitated the priest to solemnize their marriage: “——From now on and forever, in good times and in bad, for riches and for poor, in health and in sickness, in happiness and in sadness, I will love you and cherish you forever.”

Bai Liu couldn’t help but chuckle, but he quickly poured cold water on Spades: “This is just a game, you don’t need to take it so seriously.”

“There are only games in my life.” Spades asked in confusion, “Why can’t I take it seriously?”

Bai Liu fell silent. He turned his back to Spades and said, “Good night.”

Spades laid flat on his back beside Bai Liu. He let out a sigh, and then closed his eyes.

After he heard Bai Liu’s breathing completely even, Spades gently opened the bedside table. He lowered his head and looked at the condoms inside for a while, then reached in and took out a box.

There was a heavy gasping sound from the next room.

“This thing turns out to be a balloon. No wonder you have to use your mouth…” Spades nodded in realization and said to himself, “So Guy and Alex blew up the balloons until they were out of breath?”

Then Spades fell into a new round of questions: “Why do two people blow up balloons together on their wedding night?”

But Bai Liu behind Spades had truly fallen asleep this time, and no one could answer his endless questions.

The next morning, when Bai Liu woke up slowly, he drew his gun within a second and pointed it at the unknown white spherical objects in the room.

Bai Liu felt like he had changed rooms to a different one during the night. The room was full of balloons, large and small.

After confirming that this room was the one where he slept last night, Bai Liu put away his gun, got dressed, and expressionlessly tore off a balloon as big as a wash basin taped to the wall.

He saw the mouth of the ball, a pale yellow rubber ring.

Bai Liu paused for two seconds. While buttoning his shirt, he walked to the bedside table and opened it, and then paused again.

At least six boxes of unopened condoms that were there yesterday had been used up, leaving only a few empty boxes lying in the drawer.

Bai Liu adjusted his breathing slowly, cleaned up all the balloons in the room, threw them into the trash can, turned around and walked out of the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Alex and Guy outside, poking their heads through the doorway, and Bai Liu gasped as soon as he came out.

Guy spoke frankly and looked at Bai Liu with horrified eyes: “You’re still alive! I thought Spades had… killed you!”

Bai Liu was quiet for a moment, then he looked at Guy with a questioning gaze.

Guy’s eyes couldn’t help but wander around Bai Liu’s waist: “Spades came out last night and asked for condoms.”

“He asked for twelve boxes, in all sizes available.” Alex’s eyes were particularly strange, and he said slowly, “But we have already put six boxes in the room, which adds up to almost two hundred… “

Bai Liu: “…”

Guy couldn’t help it anymore and glanced curiously into the room: “What did you do last night? Did you use so much in one night?”

Alex thought of Tang Erda, and looked at Bai Liu with an increasingly uncomfortable look, and emphasized faintly: “And in all sizes…”

Bai Liu ignored the topic as if nothing had happened and asked calmly: “Where is Spades?”

Alex’s expression was very complicated: “We met Spades this morning. He said he didn’t have enough and went to town to buy condoms…”

“We thought you wouldn’t get up for a while.” Guy teased a little and winked, “After all, Spades seems to be in a hurry, and it feels like he will come back soon to continue using them with you.”

Bai Liu: “…”

Guy was right. After Bai Liu loaded the gun with a smile and said he was going to find Spades, Spades came running back by himself.

Bai Liu was startled when he saw Spades.

The man’s face was covered with various paints, he was holding up a lot of huge balloons painted abstractly, and his hair was covered with various paints intertwined with colorful lines.

Spades walked up to Bai Liu. The man was unusually short of breath.

Bai Liu noticed a red mark around the man’s mouth – he could tell he had worked very hard to blow up the balloons all night.

Spades held up a pile of about seven or eight balloons that had been damaged by paint. His black eyes seemed to be shining brightly in the mess of colors: “I couldn’t find any markers, so I borrowed the paint to draw with.”

Bai Liu realized that this guy was imitating Xie Ta’s behavior of drawing on balloons with a marker and giving them to him.

But he wasn’t good at it at all, so he created a bunch of even more miserable artistic failures.

But Spades himself didn’t seem to think so. He straightened his back and said, “I blew them up all night, and these are the most beautiful ones.”

“Here you go, the balloons they didn’t give you.” Spades put the balloons into Bai Liu’s hand and said, “You should have them.”

Spades gasped, and his tone was particularly serious: “The two of them certainly didn’t blow up as many balloons as me last night. Our wedding won over theirs.”

“I just asked around. Of the people who got married here recently, we were the only ones who used the most condoms during one night. We should be the ones who got married the best.”

Bai Liu looked up at the dirty Spades. He finally took the balloons, then gave Spades a hug and said, “Yes.”

“We tied the knot nicely.”
