First Player

   Chapter 91 Chapter Ninety · BE5 · Sleeping

   Looking at the line of words on the message interface, Su Mingan took a breath.

   He reluctantly smiled at Shen Xue: "I'm not looking at anything."

  Shen Xue tilted her head, her eyes seemed to have a cold light, but she quickly returned to peace.

   "Aren't you going to have lunch?" She took out a plastic bag from her pocket: "I brought you your favorite red bean bread."

   "No, the bread is fine."

   "Well... Okay." Shen Xue slowly retracted her gaze, as if nothing had happened, and went out with the bread in her mouth.

  Su Mingan rested his hands on the table, his eyes wandering a little.

  …if he guessed right.

   After he fell asleep in physics class in the afternoon, he experienced a death he didn't even notice.

   Then, he returned to the time node before falling asleep.

  … Being able to kill himself without disturbing anyone, or even making himself not even a little bit alert, and falling asleep to death, is too amazing.

   What was it that kept him from waking up on the way? Is it a drug, or something else?

   He was sitting at the table thinking, but his thoughts were inexplicably getting slower and slower. He suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to be bound and unable to move.

   At the moment when the bell rang in the afternoon, he felt a tide of sleepiness that almost engulfed him.

  ...No, it seems that at this point in time, I have already been hit, and even if I die, I am still in the state of being hit.

   He has long discovered the limitations of his passive save. Even if he can go back, he may return to a time node where the ending cannot be changed... and that's it now.

  Su Mingan repeatedly recalled the people he had been in contact with, including the suspicious Shen Xue, the only thing he could think of was the scent of roses, but that smell was too common, it could be smelled in many places...

   He felt as if his thoughts were blocked, and the reasoning that had been smooth all the way became like rust, and it was gradually difficult to proceed.

   Before falling into a coma, he hesitantly turned his neck and turned his head.

  —he saw the girl at the same table, the smile that was still rising on her face, little by little, ignited like a flame, and finally joined together, almost crying with joy, and a very twisted smile.

   The vision around him became dim.

   There seemed to be a faint whisper in the ear.

  【…You will eventually belong to me…】

   He lost consciousness in this darkness that almost engulfed him.

  …

  Su Mingan opened his eyes.

   Another death rollback.

   "Boom!"

  The first thing he did was stand up abruptly, put his hands on the table, and bowed, panting like a drowning man.

   The range of action was so great that it almost knocked over the table and chairs. As he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he stared at the clock in front of him with a stagnant gaze.

   - The hour hand points to the top, twelve o'clock noon.

  …

  The bright sunshine in the afternoon poured in through the wide open windows, illuminating the entire classroom brightly, and the tiny dust in the air danced in the golden light, as peaceful and beautiful as fireflies in the daytime.

  Su Ming'an almost greedily breathed the fresh air in the daytime, and bent his hands unconsciously, clutching the cold tabletop.

  Suddenly, he smelled a rose fragrance coming from behind him.

"…What are you doing?"

  The girl's murmur came from behind.

  Su Mingan turned around suddenly and saw a plastic bag of bread in her hands.

   "I brought your favorite red bean bread." Shen Xue smiled and said, "Would you like to try it?"

   As if she didn't see Su Ming'an's expression of resistance, she opened the plastic bag on her own, and then brought a piece of bread to him, coaxing softly, "Come on, open your mouth, ah—"

   "snap".

  The plastic cover fell to the ground, Shen Xue's eyes widened slightly, and there was an incredible... and a hidden cold light.

  Su Ming'an took back the hand of the flying meal bag, and the next moment, he immediately rushed towards the door, his footsteps hurried.

   When he tried desperately to escape the girl behind him, he saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a cold smile.

"Student Su Jian." Chinese teacher Shen smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were entangled in a ball, and a pair of thick-boned hands stretched out: "You didn't go to the cafeteria to eat at noon, did you set aside time to talk to the teacher? Now, Let's go to the office on the second floor to chat and change the composition, shall we?"

   "Hey!" Su Mingan slashed Teacher Shen's body in two, stepped over the body and rushed out—

   "Boom!"

   He didn't hear the kill notification from the system, instead, something grabbed his back ankle.

   A feeling of coldness is instantly passed on.

   The next moment, the field of vision changes up and down.

  —He was grabbed by Teacher Shen’s ankle with one hand and threw it back directly from above.

   He slammed his body heavily on the ground, he choked out a mouthful of blood, and the next moment, a long bone tip appeared on Teacher Shen's arm, with only the upper body left, like a sharp blade, and stabbed over!

   "Dad! Don't—!"

   Shen Xue screamed, the next moment, the bone tip pierced down!

   Blood spurted instantly.

  Su Mingan grabbed the skeleton with both hands, but his strength completely disappeared the moment his chest was pierced.

   seemed to be immersed in a mass of hot water for a moment, and a severe pain suddenly emerged. His hand scratched unconsciously on the ground, and caught a piece of warm, sticky blood.

   In the gradually blurred eyes, the sunlight is particularly dazzling.

   In the center of the gradually reddened field of vision, he saw the golden sunlight in the afternoon.

   Brilliant.

  Mr. Shen grabbed the lower body, stitched it together like stitches, and gradually stood up with the help of the lower body, and the figure obscured the shining light for a moment.

   "Dad, you said you wouldn't kill him, you said you wouldn't..." Shen Xue's cry was extremely shrill.

  Su Ming'an opened his eyes, and the voice in his ear was fading away.

   "Xuexue, he has seen through us... If he doesn't kill him, he might..."

   The voice gradually became indistinct.

  Before he fell into the darkness, what he saw with his eyes opened was a girl who was crying on his body and was covered in his own blood. Her tears were glittering like pearls across her cheeks little by little.

   "But...I've worked so hard to stay in this ghost place for twelve years, I'm just for him, I'm...just..."

   Shen Xue's cry was very clear in her ears, she fluttered in her ears, and the intoxicating rose fragrance came over little by little.

  【Su Mingan…】

   He heard Shen Xue, who was supposed to be an NPC, and actually called him by his real name.

  【...don't go, at least...you know who I am, and then open your eyes and look at me...okay...】

   Her frozen and rigid eyes, which were frozen in glass beads, were exceptionally clear and pure at this time.

   The emotions that seemed to be condensed suddenly exploded, and all the words were framed as the dripping water in her eyes.

  【Su Mingan, Su Mingan! I am Shen Xue, I am Shen Xue, do you still remember me? Before the game started, I liked you so much... At least, at least give me the qualification to keep you by my side...]

  The aroma of roses gradually faded.

  Su Mingan closed his eyes in the deep darkness.

  …

  The clock on the classroom points to twelve o'clock.

  Su Mingan opened his eyes.

   The amount of information about the death this time was huge. He knew that Shen Xue, like Shen Yue, was a player before.

   And, she said she liked herself before the game.

  …Is an old friend.

   There was a guess in his heart, but a doubt gradually arose.

   She said one word, "twelve years".

  Shen Xue said that she has been here for twelve years...but the world game has only started a month.

   Is the time flow of the two worlds different, or some other reason?

   He stood up and staggered a little when he stood up straight. When he was bathed in the golden afternoon sun, he saw the girl who was walking slowly with her bread in her arms.

   The afternoon light shone on her smooth black hair, wrapping a layer of soft gold around it. The moment she raised her eyes and looked at her, Su Mingan felt an indescribable emotion.

"Student Su Jian?" Shen Xue raised her head slowly, with a smile on her face: "Why did you come out, I thought you didn't want to go to the cafeteria, I brought you your favorite red bean bread... Why don't you try it? "

   She handed over the plastic bag in her arms, the bread looked fluffy in the light.

  Su Mingan stretched out his hand, his hand raised very high.

   A hint of hesitation flashed in Shen Xue's eyes, but she still stood there, looking at him innocently.

  Su Ming'an's hand finally fell gently...until it landed on Shen Xue's head.

   Shen Xue's eyes flashed a bit of daze, and then she seemed to be a little startled and asked a question from her throat.

"Um…?"

   "Shen Xue." Su Mingan sighed slightly: "...It seems that I also heard such a name not long ago."

   Shen Xue's eyes widened slightly.

   "Really, really?" Her voice had obvious surprise, her fingers clenched involuntarily.

   "Although time has passed for a while, I still feel like it was yesterday..." Su Mingan looked at her seriously: "Some things cannot be forgotten, including those old friends..."

   "Then, how does she compare to me?" Shen Xue said almost urgently, even though the question was too straightforward, she even stood on tiptoe unconsciously.

   "You are as cute as she is." Su Ming'an said gently: "However, you who are standing in front of me now appear more vivid and real."

   Shen Xue's figure froze, and an uncontrollable joy leaked from her eyes.

  Su Mingan withdrew his hand and passed by her.

  ...This time, he didn't smell the rotten rose fragrance on her body.

   There is only a faint, light rose fragrance.

   He didn't stop, walked all the way downstairs, supported the wall, and stabilized his figure.

   The tenderness in Shen Xue's eyes had vanished, returning to innocence and innocence.

  ... He already knew what kind of character this "Shen Xue" was targeting him.

   She was someone he knew in reality, a high school classmate. However, now he has become an NPC waiting for him in the game.

  If she came only for the love in her heart, saying this should be able to stabilize her... At least temporarily, she can get through the current crisis.

   He leaned against the sun for a while, but he didn't feel the powerlessness spreading from all around his body.

…very good.

   It seems that the infinite cycle of death crisis has been temporarily overcome.

   He concealed the cold light in his eyes, followed the crowd of students who went back to class all the way back to the classroom, sat beside Shen Xue, whose face was flushed, and started the afternoon class.
