First Player

Chapter 4 · "You are the most special."

Su Mingan's figure gradually disappeared in the darkness.

He wants to sneak to the stone castle.

The four times strength bonus fully enhances his stealth ability. Under the double concealment of Wandering Night Walk and Wang Han's human skin mask, he was inconspicuous at night.

Soul stones are needed to walk in the sky at night. As long as he deliberately stays away from the bright light, he can avoid the guards.

However, the price is that he himself must be exposed to the thick black fog.

Due to the natural disaster period, the black fog was particularly dense, and he felt that his throat was starting to feel itchy again. He took a look, and his SAN level dropped to the point where he ate a piece of candy, and a faint sweetness spread in his mouth.

…

[Feng Qiqi’s Candy (Green Level)]

[Usage effect: Colorful candies that make people feel happy are hand-wrapped by Feng Qiqi and his sister. After eating, the sanity value will increase by 3 points. 】

…

This candy was given to him by Feng Qiqi, and it was actually a prop. He had just asked for seven or eight in a row, almost emptying Feng Qiqi's inventory. The children looked at him with more and more sympathy. To them, he looked like a poor man who had never eaten candy.

As he sneaked along, there was a ping-pong sound behind him.

"boom--!"

He looked back and saw that not far away, the flying flames and the black energy that melted everything stood out in the night.

Those were the kids fighting the guards.

As expected, the group of children did not listen to his words. Not only did they not stay in the stone house obediently, they also shouted and laughed, rushing into the tribe like a train speeding through the crowd, as if they were afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

...The rebellious period, right?

In this world, children really cannot be underestimated. Since the strength of the Qiongdi people is all brought about by the curse on them, the gap in strength between children and adults is not big.

Fortunately, the gang of children were running rampant in the tribe and attracted the attention of the guards. Su Mingan was able to sneak along without being discovered.

He raised his head and saw the stone castle that looked particularly strange in the thick fog.

His pupils shrank.

The area on the stone castle that Sibor had once polluted was extremely clean now, as if the tentacles and mud that had overflowed had disappeared.

He thought for a moment and decided to rush into the stone castle.

"——Who!" Soon someone discovered him.

The stone castle is a sealed building, there is no black fog inside, and the guards are dense. This is the central building of the First Tribe and is extremely well defended.

Su Mingan took out the amber knife and slashed at the guard in front of him. Wherever the blade touched, cracked ripples spread in the air.

Waves trembled at the edge of the blade, and the guard immediately fell into a coma, without even a chance to fight back.

…

【HP-4280! (Strength suppression! Fatal injury! Space bonus!)]

A terrifying number jumped out, and Su Mingan was a little surprised.

He is in shadow state now, and this is just a flat slash without any magic skill bonus.

After upgrading his professional skills to level 28, his passive [Restriction Release] was upgraded to level 8, unlocking the attribute point restrictions on eight parts of the body. Now, any equipment can be worn by him unconditionally.

This amber knife, which originally required 50 points of strength, showed its destructive ability in his hands only in the Ming state.

Even though he only has 8 strength points now, like a newbie who has just entered the world game, the red-level knife in his hand and the magic bonus make this flat slash terrifying.

He vaguely noticed that the phrase "the combination of ultimate spirit and ultimate power" in Bai Shen's profession was not just a simple separation of the two. It seemed that with the improvement of professional skills, the two opposite directions of spirit and power would gradually be combined. As a result, he has no obvious flaws.

The current upgrade situation has already revealed this.

"——There is an invasion!"

After he chopped down the first guard, the sound of swift footsteps came. There were guards ambush everywhere in this stone castle.

Su Mingan swung his sword again, and even if his sword skills were poor, he still suppressed these guards. Amber's own space attribute is particularly effective in group battles. Even if he swings his sword in the air, the surrounding space vibration will knock out the guards.

This can be regarded as forcibly increasing fault tolerance.

…

【HP-32）】

[You killed (the first tribe guard Jung), EXP +1000! 】

…

【HP-3）】

[You killed (the first tribe guard Manduo), EXP+1000! 】

…

"Ding dong!"

[You have been upgraded to a (Level 4-2) player. 】

…

Su Mingan quickly allocated attribute points.

His journey was unparalleled, as if he was entering a no-man's land. After rushing to the third floor, no one stopped him.

He suddenly smelled a burning smell, as if something had been set on fire.

Through the window of the third floor corridor, he suddenly noticed that the First Tribe below was extremely bright.

It was not the soul stone or the lamp that caused the light.

But fire.

Burning fire filled his vision.

At this time, both the inner city and the outer city began to catch fire.

Bright red flames burned the wooden houses, and the dried meat and other items that the residents had dried outside began to burn.

Su Ming'an saw that the tribesmen who had the ability to control the water began to put out the fire, but more of the tribesmen would just run away in panic, and the tribe was now in extreme chaos.

...It seems that Feng Qiqi and his gang still chose to set fire. Maybe they couldn't defeat the elders who came upon hearing the news, so they could only choose to use this method to create chaos.

Su Mingan stopped observing the outside world and kicked open the doors on the third floor one by one.

He kicked down the door and finally found a room with a sense of life.

There are beds, quilts, decorations and potted plants inside. It seems that someone has lived in it.

...This should be Feng Qiqi's sister's room, but there is no one in it.

After rummaging around, he found a piece of parchment with a system prompt.

…

[Get clue 2·Parchment]

[(Parchment): The parchment filled with ancient fantasy texts in the sky seems to contain important information. 】

…

Su Ming'an put it away. Ancient fantasy script is a kind of profound writing in Qiongdi. Very few people can write it, but Siboer seems to know a little about it.

He was about to see if there was anything when he suddenly heard footsteps.

He immediately opened the cabinet next to him and got in. The people coming may be those elders, among whom the great elder Feng Le is not as powerful as the elder Feng. For the time being, he will take a look at their movements before deciding whether to face them head-on.

As soon as he entered the cabinet, he felt soft under his feet.

"...You." A slight cry of pain came, and the voice was a little angry.

Only then did Su Ming'an realize that there was an alliance fellow at his feet. He probably hid in the cupboard when he heard his footsteps while rummaging through things in the house.

He paid no attention to this person, but looked out through the crack of the cabinet, and saw the footsteps of the owner slowly walking into the room.

It was a harmless-looking little girl.

She has smooth black hair and big eyes, as clear as water. She looks no more than twelve years old. She is wearing a stuffed bear pajamas. When she walks around, the rabbit slippers on her feet make a slight squeak. Snapping sound.

She walked to the table, stuffed some small things, such as hairpins, bracelets, photo frames, etc. into a wooden box, and then gently closed the wooden box.

Her movements were light and slow, as if she was saying goodbye.

...This should be Feng Qiqi's sister.

Su Ming'an and the fellow Taoist ally below were still crowded in a cabinet, with their eyes firmly glued to the crack of the cabinet door.

Su Ming'an still had nowhere to stay, and he didn't dare to move or make a sound. He had to bear the weight of the man below him, so he was following Mo Yan's footsteps.

At this moment, the girl took the initiative to approach the cabinet door.

"...I'm leaving." The girl said to the gap in the cabinet door.

Su Mingan was slightly stunned.

A voice came from below him:

"good."

"...You are not allowed to cry." the girl said.

"Okay." The person below said.

"...After I leave, you have to live freely in this world without having to bear such a heavy burden. You are the most special and unique." The girl said.

"..." The silence lasted for a while, and then he answered softly: "I understand."

The girl smiled.

There were footsteps outside the door again.

This time the sound was fast and heavy, no longer as gentle as the girl's footsteps. The people who came were a large group of people, and their intentions were obviously bad.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open.

The elders blocked the door.

The leader was none other than the Great Elder Feng Le. His hawk-like eyes stared at the girl, as if his gaze had grabbed her delicate figure and refused to let go.

"The first tribe is on fire." The elder stared at her: "Now is the natural disaster period of fire, and the flames will have environmental bonuses. Even the tribesmen who control the water flow were unable to stop the spread of the fire in time."

The girl looked at him quietly, holding the wooden box in her arms without saying a word.

"... Lord Bai Shen got angry and lowered the sky fire." The great elder said loudly: "We failed to capture your brother. Now, it's time for you to make a contribution to the tribe."

"What can I do?" said the girl, "I'm just a child."

"No, you are very useful." The great elder blocked the door and blocked the girl's escape route:

"Due to the spread of the flames - we will advance the ceremony of worshiping the gods. You... pack your things and go to the crater in the back mountain with us."

Several elders next to him showed unbearable expressions, and the third elder Guangli even turned his back. She could not accept this behavior.

But before the succession ceremony, it has been a tradition since ancient times to sacrifice the child with the best potential to the gods. Moreover, now a fire suddenly broke out in the tribe and it has been unable to be suppressed. This shows that Master Baishen is angry at the evasive behavior of the two brothers and sisters, and they must perform the ceremony as soon as possible.

...Throwing her into the lava is the best way to appease the gods.

"Let's go." The girl didn't refute anything. When she saw the tribe suddenly burst into flames, she had already anticipated the current situation and packed her things in advance.

She hugged the wooden box containing various cheap little things such as hairpins and bracelets and started to leave.

From beginning to end, she never glanced at the closet, not revealing that there was anyone in the closet.

Under the people's torches, her shadow was stretched long, but her steps were still light. Su Mingan could see the pair of plush rabbit ears attached to her shoes, swaying under the flames.

It looks so cute.

…

After the people left, the person who was stepped on by Su Mingan pushed open the cabinet door and fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength, his eyes dull.

The watch turned on, dispelling the darkness, and Su Mingan realized that this was a child, not a player.

"Are you her friend?" Su Mingan asked.

The child put down his hand, revealing a face full of horrific scars and a pair of bright red eyes.

He looked at Su Ming'an warily.

"I am Feng Qiqi's friend, and I want to save his sister." Su Mingan said, taking out a candy, which was given to him by Feng Qiqi.

Seeing this candy, the child's vigilance subsided a little.

"I am the shadow of his sister." The child spoke, his voice as hoarse as a broken gong.

Su Ming'an knew what a "shadow" was. In Qiongdi, children with higher status would be accompanied by a "shadow" of similar age. The "shadow" grew up with the child and was equivalent to their bodyguard, servant, or book boy. .

The status of "shadows" is not high. Most of them are orphans without family members. When necessary, they will be used as a shield to prevent assassination. Their lives are not valuable, and high-status children do not value them.

But now it seems that this shadow has a very good relationship with Feng Qiqi's sister.

Feng Qiqi's sister had long known that her shadow was hiding in the closet. They were saying goodbye just now.

…

[...After I leave, you have to live freely in this world without having to bear such a heavy burden. You are the most special and unique. 】

This is what my sister just said to Shadow.

…

Looking at the still sobbing shadow, Su Mingan squatted down.

"Okay." Su Ming'an stared at him: "I don't have much time, just tell me directly, is the name of Feng Qiqi's sister just now called Xi Boer?"

"..." Shadow was slightly startled.

He looked at Su Ming'an carefully for a while, as if he was wondering why he didn't even know the real name of Feng Qiqi's sister.

After a moment, Shadow looked away and decided to believe the other party.

I don't know why, but he has a good impression of this person and can't doubt him.

"No, her name is not Sibor." Shadow said.

Su Mingan frowned: "...then who is she?"

"Her name is..." Shadow said:

"Her name is Sissi."

"Sissi Zevan."
