First Player

No. 5 “Who am I?”

"City Lord?" The leader was an eagle dog captain wearing a soft hat. He hesitantly raised the identity scanner in his hand.

"It's me." Su Ming'an raised his head: "Scan, Xiko, give him permission to scan his identity."

As the scanner beeps:

[Name: Asa Akto (Dawn Personality)]

[Identity confirmed - Lord of the City of Measurement. 】

…

"It's really the city lord." The eagle and dog police officers looked at each other. They didn't want to arrest the city lord at all.

"I will go back with you, but I have some things to deal with." Su Mingan said, "You guys are waiting for me at the checkpoint."

The sergeant hesitated for a moment, then he took back the scanner in his hand and waved his hand toward the back: "Let's go."

If it weren't for the fact that favoritism would be detected by Dawn Chip, he would have let Akto go.

"City Lord." Before leaving, the middle-aged police chief whispered: "Please take care of yourself."

Su Mingan nodded.

He drove towards the players scattered around the house. These people had been staring at him for a long time.

——At this moment, several light signs were suddenly raised.

[Player No. 1, I love you! ! ! 】

【Su Mingan! Mom loves you (′‵)! ! 】

[Ming'an, my Ming'an, I really like you, hehe, Ming'an, Ming'an...]

The colorful lanterns are particularly bright under the gradually darkening sky.

... This kind of book with tens of thousands of people contains countless demons and monsters.

Su Mingan turned around and left.

Knowing that he hates entertainment to death, these people still show such an attitude - do they really like him? Or do you like his name, honor, and the light on his body?

"Ming An - don't leave! I'm here to give you equipment! Hey, Ming An -"

"Didn't you accept equipment from others in Minghui? I'll give it to you too! I'll give it all to you! Can you take a photo with me -"

"Don't run, mom loves you——"

A fanatical voice came from behind.

He returned his hand, and the Lamb Barrier suddenly rose up, like a dividing line, separating the fanatical players from him.

"Don't bother me, don't come to surround me." He said, "That's the best help to me."

If this group of people hadn't swarmed in, the Eagle Dog wouldn't have locked onto this area so quickly. The small team that Minghui came to deliver equipment was fundamentally different from this group of people. The situation is completely different.

To do evil things unscrupulously in the name of love is the most despicable thing.

He drove towards the checkpoint, leaving the noise of the players behind him.

"I just said you are useless. All the smart people have gone to report the coordinates to Eagle Dog."

"You really think of yourself as a fan, do you think people care about you..."

"..."

The night was getting darker, Su Mingan raised his head and looked towards the city. The TV tower with flashing lights stands tall, and further away is the Times Building in the center, where the prosperity of a city is brewing.

Thinking of Noel, who had not been heard from since his disappearance, his eyes were a little confused.

...What is the concept of Tawei?

Can players really have their minds changed?

If he was also invaded by Taliban, then his will, the ideal he has persisted to this day...could it be that he would also be brainwashed and changed? In this case...will humans still have a chance to win?

"——Su Ming'an." A call came. He turned his head and saw the black-haired girl standing in the night, and the leader of the battle group behind her wearing a bloody scarf.

"Are you going back? Take care." Yueyue said.

Su Mingan nodded.

Che took out a four-leaf clover pendant from his pocket and handed it to him.

"This is a farewell gift. I don't know if you are still the Luvis I knew this time...or if you are just the Lord of Akto who has returned to Central City." Che said, "I hope you can remember being here. Everything that happens in the fringe zone, I hope you... can see us 'minorities'."

Su Mingan's figure was reflected in his eyes:

"Please don't... forget us."

"I won't forget it." Su Mingan stuffed the pendant into his pocket and turned to leave.

He came to the checkpoint in the third ring area. A team of hawks and dogs were already waiting, including Luna, whose hair was as white as snow.

"Are you really going to be captured like this?" Luna approached and said worriedly: "Run away..."

"I'm going to negotiate with Liming." Su Mingan said: "If you don't touch the core, you will never be able to see the truth clearly."

He calmly entered the circle surrounded by eagles and dogs, and faced the soldiers with guns and bright searchlights without evading his eyes.

The eyes around him were complex, regretful, and questioning. Even though the Dawn System had ruled for decades and had deep authority, they still hesitated when it issued a red order to the city masters.

"Rumble--" A silver car drove over the uneven ground and came to Su Mingan.

"Help me." Su Mingan said softly to Luna. He has removed the mechanical legs.

Luna helped him get into the car, folded the wheelchair into a cube of metal and placed it beside him.

"Click-click--" the sound of a helicopter circling came from above, and a reporter was recording and broadcasting the scene from high altitude.

The car door closed with a "click", Su Mingan waved to Luna outside the window, the car started to drive, and the sound of a radio came from inside the car.

"New Century 53 News Channel brings you the latest news."

"Karta Danger Zone stated that the force deterrence of the City of Measurement has interfered with the border crossing. Karta requires the Eagle Dog Mechanical Army to withdraw from the border immediately, otherwise armed measures will be taken..."

"——At 17:43 City State Time, the latest news will be inserted for you. According to the intelligence from the Third Ring District, the city lord has taken the initiative to go to Central City, and the Dawn System has canceled the red order. A spokesperson from Olive Branch News described the current situation as [Mechanical An era-defining showdown between governance and human governance], there are still doubts about whether the Lord of Akto City has violated the law.

As of now, the core district speaker has not made any statement on the matter, and City State News will continue to report the progress of the incident for you..."

Su Mingan was listening attentively, but the car radio was turned off by the driver's "power off" sound.

The car was self-driving, and he almost didn't realize there was a driver.

"The Dawn Intelligence Brain divides human beings into eight types of personalities, and Asa Akto, who created all of this, established his image as the most advanced Dawn type personality and became a benchmark that will never fall." The driver spoke, a male voice, clear and sweet:

"So, Asa Akto, why do you think... Dawn issued a red alert for you?"

"It's sick." Su Mingan said.

"..."

Su Mingan's words blocked the next topic very well. The driver remained silent throughout the whole process and didn't say a word.

The wind outside the window blew Su Mingan's black hair, and he watched the car pass through the unmanned checkpoints, all the way smoothly.

Central City was blocked early, and only this car drove in smoothly. The doors and windows of the storefronts on both sides were closed, and the streets were deserted.

After the car stopped, Su Mingan opened the door. In front of him was a horizontal building like a white city wall, with a tall tower standing in the middle. The two buildings are horizontal and vertical, like an upright cross.

……came back.

Finally back, Central City.

He saw the driver turn his head.

Those ethereal eyes seemed to be able to see everything clearly, like solid white snow.

It looked like a male, with very short white hair, and those inorganic, emotionless eyes stared straight at him, as if time had frozen at that moment.

AI can simulate any image or gender.

"...Doctor, I will wait for you at the highest level of the central tower." it said.

"Dawn?" Su Mingan said.

Dawn's figure flickered, and it disappeared from the spot.

It can appear in the driver's seat because the car is loaded with projection equipment. It is just a phantom and will disappear once it leaves the car.

...He just seemed to say it was sick.

No wonder it didn't speak all the way.

Su Mingan drove towards the gate of Central City.

The door is very old, covered with cobwebs and dust, and the mechanical sound even jams when authenticating the iris.

Upon entering, directly in front is an elevator that goes straight up and down, connected by corridor bridges. From the gap, you can see the rooms on the floors above or below. The building as a whole is in the shape of a pyramid, getting narrower as you go up, and you can vaguely see the hole-shaped corner of the sky above.

There are no traces of human life here. Treya and the others may be in another building. It was impossible for Dawn to let him meet Treya and others so smoothly.

Logically speaking, he should take the elevator in front of him and go straight to the top, but the red clue next to his field of vision was really conspicuous.

"Li Ming, can you wait for me?" He said to himself.

Pressing the button of the elevator, he went straight to the F3 floor, where the clue insight circle was directly below.

As soon as the elevator door opened, an extremely distinct smell of blood hit my face. It was a closed basement with no light.

"Adu, turn on the light," he said.

"——Good evening An-chan! It's 20:5 now and you brought the hometown ditty "Listen to me and say thank you"~"

Ah Du lit up, and his lively voice echoed faintly in the room.

Through the light, Su Mingan saw extremely terrifying bloody marks on the wall of the basement, as if someone had desperately scratched the wall before death.

Several transparent human skins were stuck to the ground, and blood filled the room.

A strange, fearful, and disgusting negative emotion rushed over him. As a Baishen professional, he had a strong resonance with these emotions.

[Emotional value +100 points]

…

"Listen to me and thank you~ Because of you~ I warm the four seasons~"

He covered his mouth and felt like vomiting. This is a physiological response.

He endured the discomfort and drove inside. A Du's singing could at least dispel a little of his nausea.

"Thank you~Thank you for having you~The world is more beautiful~~"

"Click."

There was a slight sound. He lowered his head and looked into the light. It was the wheelchair that had crushed a patella.

The broken bones, stacked together like snowflakes, are like pale white fragments and blocks, which can make the scalp of those with intensive phobia go numb.

"I want to thank you ~ Because of you, love is always in my heart ~"

"Dingxin..."

Suddenly he heard the sound of chains. Looking inside, he saw a man who was chained and with muscles atrophied all over his body, lying on the ground.

"Ah..." Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, the man struggled like crazy. The man's head was covered with a black hood, and Su Mingan couldn't see his face.

The man suddenly stretched out his hands bound by iron chains and strangled Su Ming'an's neck.

"Ahhh, ahhh..." the man shouted hurriedly, his hands getting harder and harder.

The man's strength was quite strong, and Su Ming'an, who was in the shadow state, couldn't break free.

Resisting the pain of suffocation, Su Ming'an reached out and lifted off the other party's hood, and saw the other party's eye sockets with missing eyes, and his mouth with his tongue cut off.

This man looked extremely miserable, his legs had been neatly sawed off, his wrists had shrunk, and his eyes and tongue had been cut out.

——But what surprised Su Ming'an, or rather horrified, was the face under the other person's black hair.

His facial features, face shape, facial lines...are all exactly the same as the other person's.

This is a man with the face of Asa Aktor.

In other words, he saw another "Asa Akto".

Cold sweat ran down his back, and Su Mingan broke free from the other party's hands.

Horrible speculations rose in his heart, and his pupils tightened.

"Thank you~Thank you for having you~pass the happiness~~"

"...Asa."

An almost gentle voice suddenly appeared behind him, looking a little cold.

Su Mingan turned around quickly and saw the transparent male form of Dawn under the projector in the corner.

"——Who am I?" Su Mingan gasped, his face turning red from suffocation.

He stared at the man who looked exactly like himself and was locked in the basement.

"dawn."

"who I am?"
