First Player

Chapter 78BE24·"Mirror"

The fiery dusk spreads in all directions, tearing apart the endless night.

In the bursting fire, the mechanical army poured onto the ground like burnt butter.

Su Mingan fell back and was supported by the person in the flames. He turned around and saw that he was indeed the first player clearance director of the Permanent Committee who had retired and was engaged in performing arts.

Su Lin was still wearing the khaki trench coat that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. The trench coat had a few cracks, as if it had been damaged by the turbulent flow of space.

"You obviously said you wanted to help me before, but the gods sent you away with just one word." Su Mingan asked: "What did the gods tell you? That you would rather run away than restrain him?"

"I didn't really run away, I was just lying to the gods. I had almost found some clues, but you got yourself to this point and made me come back to save you." Su Lin said.

He was almost reaching the enemy's home as a jungler, but when he looked back, he saw that his home had been robbed.

If Su Ming'an hadn't threatened him with "Praya" and made him guess that Su Ming'an was facing a desperate situation, he would not have come back.

"Really?" Su Ming'an felt at ease. Finally some good news.

Su Lin stared at him and quickly looked away.

"It's you again, Hongmao." The god saw Su Lin suddenly appearing: "If you don't leave, you will regret it."

"Heimao, when did you sell the origin of the world to the organizer?" Su Lin suddenly asked.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. The origin of the world has always been in my own hands." The god raised his eyebrows, very surprised by Su Lin's question.

"Really? Why did the ruined world become a copy? The origin of Praia's world has never been in my hands. I don't know who took it away, but when I looked at the dimensions of the ruined world, there was no breath of the origin of the world at all. ." Su Lin asked: "Furthermore, you call yourself a 'god', I have already guessed who you are. Do you really feel no guilt at all for treating the ruined world like this?"

"Why feel guilty? This is not my civilization." The god sneered: "We have all been reduced to playing the world's games. How can a god like you, who has been forced to accumulate people's lives, blame me? During that time in Yunshang City , you’ve been feeling guilty for sixty years, right?”

"Shut up!"

A rare anger finally appeared on Su Lin's face. He flipped his wrist as if to attack the god's soul.

On the side, Yamada Machichi held Noel's body and tried to find a safe place. Wherever he could see, Su Mingan was leaning over and dragging Lin Guang's body, walking step by step in the direction of the scarlet hose.

"...Wait, Su Ming'an, what are you doing!" Before Su Lin could exchange a few words with the god, he saw Su Ming'an walking towards the scarlet hose.

In the heavy rain, Su Mingan's figure was extremely thin. Those protruding bones and the wounds stained deep black all showed that he had run out of energy. Even so, he was still pulling Lin Guang's body and walking towards the scarlet hose step by step, like walking into a blood-red hell.

…Those hoses are like blood-sucking worms. Now that Lin Guang is dead, as soon as Su Mingan approaches them, they immediately come over like a clinging python.

Su Lin wanted to stop him, and God also wanted to stop him. The two of them rushed in the direction of Su Ming'an at the same time. As a result, both sides faced each other, and no one stopped Su Ming'an.

After taking control of the central government building, the god was equipped with the most advanced technological weapons in the ruined world. Under attack and defense, the god and Su Lin were in a stalemate, and both stopped in the air.

"Get out of the way! Do you want him to die!" God shouted coldly.

"Huh?" Su Lin reacted: "You also want to stop him? Then what he did must be a good thing. I won't let you pass."

The god waved his hand, and several steel cannons fired in unison, firing towards Su Lin. Su Lin's flames were also firmly blocked in the center area. On one side are the lights and flames on the mysterious side, and on the other side are bombs and bullets on the technological side. Particle shields and fire shields overlap and flash in the air, like a gorgeous fireworks show.

Su Ming'an had no time to pay attention to the fight between the two gods. He finally dragged Lin Guang between the scarlet hoses.

"——No! If you accept the resonance again, Su Ming'an will die! Su Ming'an can't die!!" The god suddenly exploded, blasted Su Lin away with a cannon, and stretched out his hand in the direction of Su Ming'an.

However, the next moment, the hose had wrapped Su Mingan's figure.

Many phantoms began to appear in front of Su Mingan's eyes, just like when he resonated with Akto, this was a voluntary acceptance of the resonance.

He will become the "Lin Guang" in memory.

Between the stacks of scarlet hoses, Su Mingan took one last look at Lin Guang. The white-haired young man still had his eyes closed, his expression more peaceful than when he was alive, as if he had finally slept.

That Hanfu had long been stained by cold rain and blood, and the white rust of pine cranes and bamboo leaves were finely patterned on the silk. This combination reminded Su Ming'an of familiar people.

"Linguang..." Su Mingan whispered.

He really had never...never understood this man.

I don’t understand this person’s background, this person’s story, the origin of this person’s temperament, or even everything.

In the ruined world, one of the nine seats, one of the administrator accounts, Lin Guang. Why are you persistent, and why do you exist? You and Lu Shu, again...?

Su Mingan looked at Lin Guang's pale face and slowly closed his eyes.

…

"Your name……?"

Although your five senses are not yet clear, you heard a voice calling you.

"From now on, your name will be Lin Guang."

Light shone faintly into your pupils, and you sat up, trying to find the source of the sound, but you didn't see anyone.

This is the source of your birth. You climb out of the hibernation chamber and remember nothing.

You open the door and see a city blessed by the sun - ginkgo trees and gardens rooted in spring, crimson butterflies dancing in front of your eyes. You vaguely know that this is your city. It is called the City of God, and it is like spring all year round.

You open the mirror and see a solemn and cold face. The eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, and the corners of the mouth are all stiff, as if frozen. You slightly hate your gray hair and appearance, which always makes you feel unreal.

You start living alone in this deserted city.

The emptiness in your heart always makes you panic. Sometimes, when you stand in the corridor of the City of Gods and look at the tunnel-like corridor, you always feel that you are constantly losing yourself, as if you have become a ghost.

You seem to be looking for someone.

who's that person?

…

There is always a pleasant voice in your ear, and that voice calls itself "god".

You have no common sense, no memory, and you don’t even know what morality is. It is God who teaches you how to behave. He tells you that you need to complete a "pre-plot" to bring the world to a suitable state of Catastrophe 32.

Although you have the powerful power to control ten human gathering places and control the fate of the remaining humans, you are like a child who has not been able to form three views.

No matter what happens, you have a specific way to deal with it, to "activate" and "feed back". In other words, you are more like a "program" composed of 0s and 1s, and you will only get results according to the standard way of thinking.

There is no one to teach you, no one to accompany you, no one to tell you what to do.

If someone can teach you from the beginning, maybe you can really grow into a good person who conforms to worldly concepts.

but none.

The only one who guides you is a god with ulterior motives.

…

"Boom-boom-boom-!!!"

The sound of bombing sounded, Su Mingan spit out a mouthful of blood, and was suddenly forced out of the resonance state.

He opened his eyes, and the scarlet hose in front of him had been blown open by a life force. Su Lin held the hose with one hand and pulled Su Ming'an in the hose with the other hand, trying to pull Su Ming'an out.

"Don't...save me." Su Mingan spat out a mouthful of blood again.

"I won't save you? Do you think you will die in the resonance?" Su Lin said coldly, her hands moving non-stop.

"Yes." Su Ming'an held Su Lin's hand with both hands: "Let me go."

"Calm down! I have a way to take you away. It's okay if the Ninth World fails." Su Lin said.

"Let go!" Su Ming'an threw it with a spatial vibration. Su Lin was forced to let go. Seeing Su Ming'an burrowing into the hose by himself, like a groundhog, Su Lin sighed: "You are still crazy."

crazy?

No.

He is the calmest now.

Su Mingan closed his eyes and wanted to sink into the resonance again, but he felt the scarlet hose around him let go of his own initiative.

He opened his eyes slightly and saw the god standing not far away, tearing open the hoses. The gods were actually saving him too.

"Su Ming'an, you can't die." The god said something with unknown meaning, and with a wave of his hand, the entire wall of the central building began to deform, and steel cannons extended out, aiming at Su Lin and bombarding him indiscriminately.

Under the hail of bullets, Su Lin gave in slightly and exited the bombardment range with his body covered in flames.

The god smiled at Su Mingan and said:

"I won't let you die."

"If the man named 'Noel' dies, I won't let you die again."

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

……What's the meaning?

In the heavy rain, the gods get closer and closer:

"Only one of you and the man named 'Noel' has a chance of comeback. Now that he is dead, I have confirmed that he does not have such a chance of comeback - then it can only be you. Guess, why can't I Let you die?"

Su Mingan's pupils narrowed.

At this moment, intense panic seized his heart.

He immediately turned his hand, and a space shock was about to hit him, but the god waved his hand and released a defensive shield, and the space shock was quickly eliminated.

Seeing this in the live broadcast room, some people were confused, while others suddenly realized it.

"you--!"

Su Mingan wanted to raise his hand to kill himself with annihilation, but the god suddenly held his arm down, preventing him from moving.

"Crack, click, click" came the sound of cracking bones in his shoulder. Su Mingan's vision was blurred due to his mental condition, and he could only vaguely see the god's excited eyes.

"If I were you, how could I work so hard..." God whispered, with jealousy in his eyes. Those dark gray eyes reflected Su Mingan's face.

The two people's eyes met, and Su Mingan felt in a trance. This look at each other actually gave people a feeling of blood connection, as if he was looking into a mirror.

"You are so lucky, Su Ming'an. I always thought it was Noel, but I didn't expect it was really you. If it weren't for your suicide action just now, I really wouldn't dare to confirm it." The god stared into Su Ming'an's eyes: "This is not fair - —You have this ability, how can I beat you? We are all the same, why are you luckier than me?"

"What are you talking about?" No matter what the gods said, Su Mingan always denied it.

"Fortunately, I discovered it at the last moment." The god smiled lightly, and his words were like a cold steel needle: "The man named 'Noel' is indeed very smart, and he can even figure out how to change his identity with you. I Guess, it should be a communication method similar to 'code words'? He clearly knows that you have this kind of power, but he doesn't use it. Instead, he is willing to become your backup. How stupid..."

When the god said this, he lowered his voice: "If it were me, I would definitely use hypnosis and brainwashing to make you my sharpest sword, free me from all worries, and use your authority to save me from all my regrets."

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

...gods.

…this intruder who claims to be a god…this man’s wisdom…

"boom--!!!"

The flames exploded, and Su Lin stood in the air and shouted coldly at the god: "What are you talking about in a shameful whisper! Get away!"

The god did not dodge, but just dragged Su Mingan away. With a burst of space brilliance flashing, the two disappeared from the spot.

…

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Su Mingan kept coughing up blood.

The teleportation light flashed, and the god came to an operating room.

It can be seen that God is very anxious and cherishes Su Ming'an's life more than Su Ming'an. Su Mingan coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, and all the medical instruments were brought over.

"I won't let you die, I won't let you die..." God immediately injected life-sustaining medicine into Su Ming'an's arm, trying to save Su Ming'an's life. Just hearing these few words, I would have thought that God had deep feelings for him.

"Su Mingan, you are so lucky. Why do you have so many opportunities..." the god whispered.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Su Mingan kept denying it.

"Su Mingan, we are all the same, why do you have this ability..."

"I don't understand." Su Mingan denied.

"Su Mingan..."

"..."

The blood on his lips became more and more as he coughed. Su Mingan's vision went dark, and his whole body hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He thought that Noah and Sen were probably suffering from this pain before they died due to emotional resonance.

When a person is dying, the last thing that disappears is hearing.

In his last perception, he heard the voice of God.

...Pleading, extreme jealousy, despair, unwillingness, almost hatred and anger, these voices.

She was obviously saying something to save his life, but there was only hatred in her tone.

"Don't die, don't die..."

"Su Mingan, how could you die? Why did you have so many opportunities? How can I win if you go back..."

"Why, we are obviously the same..."

…

Death rollback.

Su Mingan opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and there were only resonances and whispers in his ears.
