First Player

Chapter 115 Seven · "180 years · She is the moon that watches for thousands of years."

After that, it was the same journey.

He went to the Industrial Age for a leisurely stroll and to the Ocean Age to appreciate the scenery. Sometimes, he heard someone shouting his name, and when he looked back, there was only the silent wind.

Thousands of years have become a flowing river in his eyes.

In the capital, he took a distant look at the peach blossom trees inside the palace wall and the empty Guoshi Pavilion, then turned and left. Now there is no one who is sentimental here.

Passing by Penglai Immortal Island, he glanced at the island. Xiao Jingsan and Su Shaoqing were both on the island now. That Su Shaoqing is not the real Su Shaoqing, but the "Su Shaoqing played by Su Ming'an" based on the causal projection of the dream patrol in "Lou Yue Kingdom". After all, Su Ming'an played [TE·His Fantasy] at that time. In the absence of interference, it should be based on the The plot is going on.

Calculated in this way, there are two Su Ming'an at this time - one is Su Ming'an from the start of the dungeon, playing the dream patrol game "Lou Yue Kingdom". One is Su Mingan himself, who is at the end of the dungeon and is traveling through the millennium.

He exists at the beginning of the dungeon and at the end of the dungeon, coexisting in the world.

Su Ming'an didn't know whether the Xiao Jingsan on Penglai Immortal Island was Xiao Ying with vague memory or the later Xiao Jingsan created by Xiao Ying. It didn't matter. Xiao Ying was probably not very clear at this time and was being driven by Dui Ying, so he wanted to revive the Alien King in advance. Su Mingan didn't want to get close to him at all at this time.

Su Mingan was about to return to the Holy City when he heard a familiar female voice:

"...Who are you, and why do I think you are so familiar to me?"

Standing on the city wall was a girl with flowing black hair, wearing a thin sword at her waist and wearing dignified and heavy palace clothes. It was Princess Jinghe.

At the beginning of the dungeon, Su Mingan once thought that Princess Jinghe did not look like Yue Yue, but in fact Princess Jinghe was indeed Yue Yue. This was not because of his misjudgment, but because Princess Jinghe... was Yueyue without any memory.

Even if he was an expert at predicting events, he would not have thought at the beginning of the dungeon that Princess Jinghe was the reincarnation of Yue Yue who had lost her memory for thousands of years, and was not the Yue Yue he was familiar with, so she felt strange to him.

I see.

"Her Majesty the Queen has been crowned the emperor, so why should she call herself this palace? Now that the eldest prince has landed on the Penglai Immortal Island, your majesty should sit in the capital and enjoy the world of great harmony." Su Mingan held his hand indifferently. He had long been accustomed to staying away from Yueyue. After Alice's incident, he realized that it was best not to get involved with anyone, so he has not been close to anyone in the past hundred years.

Empress Jinghe frowned: "I will not hold you accountable for the crime of disrespect. You must be a knight-errant. I didn't know you..."

"Excuse me." Su Mingan turned and left.

In the distance from him, a graceful blonde woman stood. It's night now, the immediate death rule for foreigners is still there, and someone unfortunately scores twice. But looking at someone's expression, it didn't look like he was reluctant, he seemed to be enjoying it, and even changed his white dress into a red one.

On the tower farther away, there is a knight in black standing with his sword drawn horizontally, his blue eyes stained with moonlight.

"The astrologer Nuo Guangguang and the knight Lu Dalu will follow you. If your majesty has any difficulties, just ask them and they will ensure your majesty never has to worry about." Su Mingan pointed to the two of them.

"I have never met you. You care about me so much. Why do you insist on staying away from me?" The Queen's eyes were filled with confusion.

"My existence will only bring misfortune to others. This has been proven." There was a haze in Su Mingan's eyes, and the long-hidden paranoia slowly faded away. He handed over his hand again and quickly lowered his eyes: "I I have lost another comrade. At least, saving you is the only thing I can do."

As the figure flashed away, under the full moonlight, only the blonde beauty and the black knife knight remained.

…

On the way to the beach, Su Mingan met an acquaintance.

The girl in the flowing red dress is none other than Zou Yuqing, the demon sect witch. She once spoke for him in Penglai Immortal Selection. She is an unpretentious woman.

"——Hey, isn't this an immortal? Why are you here?" She revealed his identity as a god with one word.

After talking, Su Mingan learned that Zou Yuqing was an artificial life form belonging to the gods. He was responsible for handling some matters in the Louyue era for the gods, similar to AI. She remembers everything from the beginning to the present, but she doesn't have very strong strength. Most of the time she can only assist other time travelers side by side.

"Thank you for being on the ship and combing my hair into a bun." Su Mingan said about the start of the dungeon. No wonder Zou Yuqing seemed to know a lot of information at that time. It turned out that she was the one who hid it the most. If he had caught her and questioned her at that time, maybe the whole information would have come out.

Zou Yuqing covered her mouth and smiled softly: "I also want to thank you for answering some questions for me. I later went to see those pictures with letters in person. Oh, it was really..."

"Okay, stop it." Su Mingan said expressionlessly.

"How many hours do you have left?" Zou Yuqing asked "how many hours", not "how many years". In the long years, hundreds of millions of people passed by in a hurry, but she understood where he was.

"18 hours."

"It's my honor to be able to occupy about ten minutes of your 18 hours." She said sincerely in a joking manner: "Your Highness... No, Immortal, let me comb your hair for the last time. Let’s do a bun.”

On her face, that cynical smile was mixed with a little sadness.

Su Mingan stopped.

The wind in December is mixed with the fragrance of peach blossoms on the distant fairy island. The silver bell rang, and the girl walked behind him and pulled up her black hair.

"You must have gone through quite a long time...your hair is so long." She breathed a sigh of regret on the back of his neck.

He faced the morning sun, and the sunlight made his cheeks slightly warm. Her soft fingers lightly scratched her scalp, and time slowed down instantly.

"Where are you going next?" Feeling the softness on the back of his head, Su Mingan asked.

Zou Yuqing lowered his eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth: "I am only responsible for the affairs of Lou Yue's era. After the Lou Yue era ends, of course my useless AI will be taken back. I am a product of the separation of gods, so Just like Xiaoli back then. A program has its own mission. After the mission is completed, it naturally cannot exist in the world forever like life."

Su Ming'an's eyes flickered, and he didn't know who he thought of: "Don't you want to be a life? Are you willing to disappear after completing your mission?"

Zou Yuqing smiled and shook her head, the morning sun shining on her trembling eyelashes:

"Oh...what did the Immortal say? Of course I want to live. But if I become a living being, I can only live for a hundred years, and my memory will be erased by the gods. In the end, I will be nothing more than a skeleton when I die. If I am an AI. Even if my mission is completed and taken back, the data will be retained. Later, thousands of 'I's will be iteratively formed to help the continuation of human civilization. Only in this way can we achieve long-term success."

Su Mingan looked at Zou Yuqing, who was smiling and smiling. He never thought that this cynical little witch would have such a heavy mission. It turns out that 80% of everything he saw at the beginning of the dungeon was just superficial. Only at this moment could he get a glimpse of the depth under the iceberg.

It turns out that even if she is just a passerby who met her a few times, there will be so many stories behind her.

"Doesn't it matter even if you can't see the 'Penguin Space' you're interested in?" Su Mingan said.

Zou Yuqing rolled his eyes and thought seriously for a while: "It's a pity, and those two dimensions, those letters... I'm actually very interested in them. If I think about it carefully, if I were born in this world, maybe I would have a lot of fun. "

She always likes to use a pretense of frivolous tone to cover up the sad truth and prevent Su Ming'an from feeling the same sadness.

"...I'm sorry." Su Mingan lowered his eyelids.

He once thought that Zou Yuqing was just a frivolous daughter of the demon sect.

"Why should I be sorry? As long as the Immortal can save civilization, he shouldn't be blamed even if he kills us all." Zou Yuqing let go: "Okay, Immortal, look at my craftsmanship. It should not have deteriorated."

Su Ming'an walked forward, her hair tied up in a bun made of white jade, as steady as it was on the boat.

He looked back and saw a girl wearing red silk on the city wall, smiling slightly and waving to him, like an old friend bidding farewell to a traveler. The sunshine stayed on her deep-set eyebrows and high bridge of nose, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was particularly bright.

A farewell is a farewell forever.

Su Shaoqing, Li Mingyue, Jinghe, Ye Yihong, Xiao Jingsan, Yi Tiezheng, Zou Yuqing.

This is just a pioneer of an era, and he can call so many names. In ten thousand timelines, how many heroes are there who have never met before? How many people are needed to win a civilized war?

After generations of burning, even the number "tens of billions" is no longer measurable.

Su Mingan walked away. He turned around and looked at Zou Yuqing...

One last look.

On the city wall, the red dress fluttered, and the girl's eyebrows were curved. She was originally extremely stubborn, but her eyes shed tears at some point. Her lips opened and closed, and her mouth shape was very clear——

…

Your Highness.

Yuqing wishes you a safe journey and please win at the end of civilization...

…

…

seaside.

A girl with black hair and blue eyes was waiting on the beach, carrying a medicine basket.

The sea breeze blew up her white skirt, like a butterfly flying in the wind. She stood there for a long time with a peaceful expression.

Behind her is a dilapidated village that has been destroyed by tentacled monsters. The villagers who forced the orphan girl to save others and the sick old man Wang are all dead.

Su Mingan landed on the mechanical roulette wheel and met her eyes.

"When I played "Louyue Kingdom" before, I was very curious. When I went to Penglai Fairy Island, why did the orphan girl in the small village disappear? She was obviously a suspenseful character, but why there was suddenly no follow-up plot. So that's it ...She disappeared suddenly because she couldn’t follow [me at the beginning of the copy], but needed to wait here [me after twenty days],” Su Mingan said.

Chaoyan looked at him with a smile. She was wearing a village girl's shabby sarong, with a long crystal-clear sword floating around her body.

…

[On the second day of the dungeon, after opening the second chapter of "Lou Yue Kingdom", Su Mingan fell on the hillside. He was seriously injured and could hardly get up. 】

[At this time, a sound of footsteps was heard, and a pair of small cloth shoes appeared at the edge of the field of vision. This seemed to be a girl from the village. 】

["Are you okay? Are you still alive..." Her voice was as clear as a stream. 】

…

And Su Ming'an, who started the dungeon as a dream patrol player in "Lou Yue Kingdom", is called [Su Ming'an who started the dungeon]. Call Su Ming'an at this time [Su Ming'an at the end of the copy].

At the beginning of the dungeon, when [Su Mingan at the beginning of the dungeon] was seriously injured and fell on the hillside, an orphan girl from a small village saved him who was dying. This orphan girl from the small village is the Chaoyan who climbed up from the bottom of the sea at this time, that is, the [Chaoyan at the end of the copy].

This is because Chaoyan sensed that the physical lifespan of [Su Ming'an at the end of the copy] was approaching and she needed to carry out emotional transfer, so she woke up from her deep sleep at the bottom of the sea and began to look for him. Although they didn't agree on a specific place to meet. But she knew that he would definitely come to the seaside near this village, because this was where they first met in "Lou Yue Kingdom".

I don’t know if it was “the two met for the first time in a small village at the beginning of the dungeon” (cause) → “Because the two met here for the first time at the beginning of the dungeon, Chao Yan will be waiting here at the end of the dungeon” (effect).

Or "the two finally met in a small village in the dungeon" (result) → "Because Chaoyan must be waiting here, so Su Ming'an at the beginning of the dungeon will fall here, and be saved by her, and the two meet for the first time" (cause) .

Regardless of whether the cause and effect is positive or the cause and effect is reversed, it can be deduced.

When Chao Yan came out from the bottom of the sea, in order to find [Su Ming'an at the end of the copy] for emotional transfer, she traveled all over the country, always looking for this small seaside village in Lou Yue Kingdom. When she found this familiar village, she stayed there for several years and waited for him before she became an orphan in the small village at the beginning of the dungeon and rescued [Su Ming'an at the beginning of the dungeon].

Cause and effect are linked from beginning to end.

…

"No matter where I go, I am always waiting." The orphan said: "I have walked through the distant and quiet moonlight, I have been to the noble and holy church, I have looked at the midnight castle with winding vines from a distance, I have seen white birds flying and bell towers ringing. I have walked through the long stretches of sand and wasteland, and I have picked up every handful of clear water in the oasis.\
