First Player

No. 5 "Welcome home."

[Lord God World·Residential Area]

In the dark room, a woman with disheveled black hair caressed the gun in her hand.

There was a pale illness notice on the table, and Su Mingan's live broadcast was playing on the LCD screen in front of him.

"——What is the concept of Tavi?"

"——Humans who hear whispers will definitely be invaded?"

The young man's clear voice echoed in the room through the screen, and countless barrages flew across the screen like crazy.

In the all-channel chat of the Lord God World, countless "other dimensions" were posted, and on the world forum, there were also extremely popular posts.

…

[(Hot) Regarding the ‘other dimension’ information revealed in the first player’s live broadcast - the Ninth World Dungeon Measurement City, the Supreme Ruler Dawn System’s personal answer is as follows! 】

[The Chairman of the (Hot) United Alliance stated that the ‘Talidimensional invasion’ of the Lord God’s world is pure nonsense! Please stay calm and do not listen to the temptation of public opinion. 】

…

"Click", biting into pieces of medicine, the woman drank water, her eyes bloodshot.

"Bang!" With a sound, her door was suddenly opened, and the light from the living room spilled in.

"——What are you being pretentious about? I already told you that depression is not a disease, why are you still taking medicine?"

The rude questioning hit me, and a tall figure of a middle-aged man blocked the door.

He was wearing a fur cloak that did not match his temperament, showing a full aura of a nouveau riche, with a large gold chain hanging around his neck and a high-end brand-name watch on his wrist that had previously sold for hundreds of thousands in Zhai Xing.

The aroma of food wafted into the living room - there were Australian lobster, Buddha jumping over the wall, blood swallow and French Western food. These expensive meals were mixed together at this time. They will eat whichever one is more expensive. It seems like they will be at a disadvantage if they don't eat it.

In the living room, gleaming jewelry and precious porcelain are placed in the most conspicuous position as if to show off their wealth. Even the hanging lights on the ceiling are inlaid with gold and silver.

Yu Ruohe's father, an ordinary middle-aged man who used to hang out in the vegetable market and worry about a few cents for vegetables, gained complete wealth here.

It's like being reborn.

"I, I went to see a doctor." Yu Ruohe lowered his head: "The doctor said I was sick and needed to take medicine and sleep..."

"Ruohe, tell me honestly, are you pretending to be the 'Tavi' that is very popular recently?" Lao Yu asked.

"...Pretending?" Yu Ruohe raised his head blankly.

"A group of young people who claim to have been 'invaded by other forces' have joined forces to gain benefits and gain sympathy. They even recorded videos showing 'attack' scenes to gain popularity. You won't become such a child, will you?" Lao Yu said seriously. : "The authority has said that our place is safe and will not be invaded. Don't lie to Dad."

Yu Ruohe twitched the corner of his mouth.

She showed a smile that could be described as "miserable".

She had long known that wealthy parents like Lao Yu, who were about to be eliminated by the century, would always maintain the concepts of the last century. Such people are not uncommon. In the 21st century, there will still be people who drown baby girls and people who are superstitious. This kind of outdated thinking will not be completely eradicated for a long time.

Lao Yu is one of them. He always wanted her to find a stable civil servant boyfriend to get married. After the death of her SWAT ex-boyfriend, he was secretly happy, feeling that his daughter could finally find someone better to rely on.

He asked her to study accounting, saying that it would be better for a girl to be an accountant, or to learn the Chinese language and become a teacher, instead of learning such useless fighting and shooting. But if she hadn't practiced shooting and knew how to shoot, she would have died in the first world.

… These changes, these sharp contrasts, he could not see.

Sometimes, she even felt that there was no need for him to invade. The ideas of this group of people were inherently suitable for him.

The emergence of the world points progress bar allows people who stay in the comfort zone to have a feeling of "I am also working hard, and I am also contributing to the progress bar of all mankind", and they can wait for the rescue of adventure players with greater peace of mind.

When top players like Herbert give up, they say things like, "You're not living up to everyone's expectations."

They are not in the "spotlight", no one pays attention to them, so, in the place where there is no light - they automatically become a part of the shadows.

He thinks that the world is awake, but he regards heroes as expendable and useless.

...just like the residents who followed the war on their homeland remotely. Once the frontline war fails, they can easily get angry at the defeated soldiers.

Watching the live broadcast in the room, Lao Yu frowned and looked at Su Ming'an on the screen.

The young man was sitting in front of the white mountain of bones, chatting with the god-like Dawn. The broken human bones were very uncomfortable to look at.

"It's him again." Lao Yu said: "But I don't hate him now. The big shots in the United Regiment said that he is a hero. But, anyway, it's time for you to forget..."

"——Then, it's not because of you!"

There was a harsh sound, and Yu Ruohe suddenly screamed.

She threw away the Remington RP in her hand with a "pop" and shouted, her pale face turning red for a moment:

"It's not you!! The number you forced me to hand over! You - the one you forced me to betray - you used the name of authority to pressure me -!!"

"If it weren't for a stable environment at home, for colleagues and leaders to think highly of you, for satisfying your vanity - for such reasons, I, would I be like this - I would toss and turn every night and not sleep well. I feel guilty when I think about him. I always feel that it’s my fault—it was me who handed over the number, so he was targeted like that in the seventh world—"

"You have already said that he is a hero - why should a hero sacrifice for you and guarantee you? He endured the pain of his invasion on the front line. What about you - Dad, you said 'you don't hate him', you do What right do you have to hate him!!"

Lao Yu was so angry that his nose was crooked.

He knew that Yu Ruohe was right, and he also began to regret his previous behavior of encouraging her to hand over her number - who would have thought that this person would never fail, and even his status would become more and more stable?

He even began to think darkly, if Su Mingan failed, wouldn't it prove that his original decision was correct? If Su Mingan failed, people around him would not ridicule him for "picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon."

Or, if the number was not handed over, Yu Ruohe might be able to form a team with him and build a relationship, just like Lin Yinmowen did before...

He knew that this kind of thinking was selfish, but he just couldn't control himself from thinking like this.

"You are... you really have strong wings, and you can say anything." Lao Yu pointed at Yu Ruohe: "Okay, okay, then I won't come to ask you to eat. You can eat it or not. Anyway, it's digital. Your body will never die of hunger! You have grown up, and your mother and I will be mad at you sooner or later."

With a "bang" sound, the door closed.

Only Yu Ruohe with disheveled hair and melancholy expression was left.

She picked up the pistol on the ground - after this fall, it had cracks on it that were difficult to repair.

At this moment - she suddenly thought, it would be great if 'Tavi' really existed.

If only 'Tavi' could really help her.

She is about to collapse. Her family does not understand her, her friends are alienated, her companions have left, and the world has become increasingly confusing... She also has a mental problem and needs to take medicine, but her family still thinks it is not an illness. It is now difficult for her to even take risks. The strength she has accumulated is too difficult. If she empties it, she will have to start all over again. The world copy is getting more and more difficult, and she has almost no room to survive...

It would be nice if someone could help her.

Even if it's just to give her some guidance, even if it's just to make her brave and stop living in the shadows...

at this moment,

Yu Ruohe suddenly seemed to hear the soft call ringing in her ears.

【……】

【……】

…

"Ding Ming, who would hear the whispers from Tavi?" Su Mingan said.

He uses whispers to seduce others. There should be some kind of [rules] that can only affect some specific people. Otherwise, with the willpower of today's human beings, 'if you listen even a little bit, you will be invaded', then all the city-states would have fallen.

"This... I don't know how he chooses the objects to invade." Liming said: "But judging from the current data collection, most of the people who are invaded are people with unstable emotional values. This is how we plant people. The reason for entering the Dawn Chip is that people with emotional overload are really dangerous and they can be easily hacked."

After a slight pause, Li Ming repeated again:

"I still need more data, Doctor. I'd love to answer all your questions, but I don't have enough data to give a precise answer."

"I understand." Su Mingan's tone was much lighter.

He believes that the existence of the Dawn system is reasonable. Whether it is reducing human internal friction or resisting the invasion of other dimensions, Dawn has achieved the ultimate in measurement.

"Last question," he said, "Why did you issue a red order to me?"

He previously thought that Dawn was invaded by Tawei, so he issued such an order. But now it seems that Dawn is at least superficially normal.

So - who is the liar?

It was Dawn, who seemed fair and kind, who handed over all the information to him. Or is this opening on his wrist always with him, saying "Dawn has been invaded, need to get the password to close it"?

"This question is also the reason why I invited you here." Dawn smiled: "But this is not a very good place to talk. Dr. Asa, shall we go up?"

Its central control room is on the top floor, and it is just a projected phantom in this basement.

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

"Kakaka-"

The wheelchair entered autopilot mode, and Dawn took control of Xiko and steered the wheelchair out of the basement. But Xi Ke has remained quiet, facing the supreme authority of Dawn, it has no power to fight back.

Entering the elevator, Liming took Su Ming'an to the top floor of the building.

This building in Central City has obviously been abandoned for a long time, with dust everywhere, but the top floor is surprisingly clean. It is a disc-shaped area with several large rooms.

They are decorated very warmly, and even the lighting is warm, which is in sharp contrast to the desolation of dozens of floors below.

When the elevator opens, several robots standing at the door will even bow and salute, like welcome girls.

"Welcome home, Doctor."

"Welcome home, Doctor."

They speak in unison.

Dawn has no entity, but it will control these robots with entities to help it clean the environment. It even has the leisure to let the robots create this welcoming effect.

Liming reached out to Su Mingan at the elevator entrance.

"Welcome home." It smiled: "Doctor."
