First Player

Chapter 1176 Chapter One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Four·"TE·Seal it with Me (13)"

Necklace didn't speak for a long time and didn't know how to comfort her.

Until a bit of morning light came through the window, the necklace said: "...When we get out, I'll treat you to barbecue, lemon barbecue."

"I've never eaten anything like this before. It sounds very novel." Chang Ge buried his head in his knees.

“Very delicious.”

…

By the time Changge was played, most of the things in his room had been taken away.

The badges, clothes, and accessories belonging to the Savior were all taken away. Even the piano worth thousands of dollars is gone. After all, a replica is not worthy of playing a precious piano. In the empty room, he stared at the dust left by the piano, wondering who he was for a moment.

"Changge." The necklace said, "Don't be sad, you are the unique Changge."

Changge didn't pay attention to his sadness and just apologized to the necklace: "I'm sorry, you taught me the piano for so long...I can't play it now."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't feel sad." The necklace said.

…

The black-haired girl quickly took control of the world. As for how to continue civilization, her method is simple - plunder.

"Have you heard? The Savior has decided to attack other civilizations." Chang Ge heard the discussion of several people in the corner of the cafeteria.

Xia Jiawu, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, said mysteriously: "It is said that the savior has found the coordinates of an outside civilization and plans to invade that civilization and seize the source of the world."

The old man Cheng Lishan frowned: "Why does the Savior have such thoughts? She was obviously not such a person a hundred years ago, so why did she invade other civilizations when she came back this time?"

Chang Ge chewed on the tomato scrambled eggs and dipped Brother Necklace's chain into seaweed and egg drop soup.

"Who can persuade General Qin? We cannot become invaders." Su Meimei said timidly.

"But." Soldier Dong Qi suddenly said: "Is there a possibility - they have tried other methods, but in the end this is the only method left."

The table fell silent.

...So, can we really only plunder?

Chang Ge chewed the braised pork ribs, feeling uncomfortable.

He returned to the signal transmitting room again, intending to ask the voice in the universe who called himself "Su Mingan". But what he saw on the screen was the conversation record between General Qin and "Su Ming'an":

[(Initial message) I am Su Mingan, I heard your voice calling me. Soon, I will be here to help you. 】

[General Qin: No, you are not Su Mingan at all, who are you! 】

[That voice: It turns out to be Mr. Qin. Well, I am indeed not Su Ming'an. It's just that there happens to be "Su Mingan" next to me, so I hear your voice calling to the universe. 】

[General Qin:...]

[That voice: You must be sweating profusely. But unfortunately, the coordinates of your civilization have been exposed to me. For forty years at most, you will be mine. 】

[General Qin: You are Mr. Nuo’s Gao Wei. 】

[The voice: Yes. You can call me Duoying. 】

[General Qin: Are you crazy? This is your hometown, you want to invade us? 】

[The voice: So what? You almost killed my best friend in the past. Okay, that's the end of the conversation. 】

[General Qin: You... (the other party refused to receive the message)]

…

Chang Ge looked at this conversation record, his hands and feet were cold.

……It's him.

It was his call that attracted the enemy!

No wonder General Qin has changed recently. It turns out he sensed an impending crisis...

After all, their time is only forty years!

In forty years, when the coordinates of civilization are exposed, how to resist a powerful high-dimensional person?

…They didn’t even have time to build a spaceship.

Changge's face turned pale. He forgot how he walked back to the room in vain, and felt that the sky was about to collapse.

"...Brother Necklace, you are the real savior. Do you have any good ideas?" Chang Ge's voice was very low, even crying: "I really don't know what to do... If I don't call you back, the world will play once It happened again, there will always be a day when the game fails, but when I call you back, you provoke a more terrifying enemy."

He really didn't know what to do. It seems that their lifespan is over, and there is no way out whether they are going forward or backward.

But, he really wants to live.

I have just written my own piano music.

The necklace is quiet.

"Let me..." the necklace said softly, "think about it..."

…

Changge didn't know what he could do.

He is too small.

It seems that the only chance is to follow the black-haired girl's wishes - to plunder the source of the world from other civilizations.

The central government held a public opinion poll. They did not announce the current situation, but only asked the public's opinions in a hypothetical way:

[If one day, our civilization faces a crisis, and there is only one way to survive - will you be willing to continue our civilization by plundering other civilizations? 】

The final result was that the ratio of "willing" to "unwilling" was 58% to 42%. The central government has not set a neutral answer, because there are only two extremes in the end-life or death.

When voting, Changge pressed "unwilling" on the screen without hesitation.

Yes. After long thought, Chang Ge’s idea was that he didn’t want to.

Not willing to survive on the bones of other civilizations.

Don't want to spread the unfortunate fate.

Although he said that the continuation of civilization was above all else - he really couldn't go against his own heart.

He doesn't want the victim to become the perpetrator.

He didn't want the kind-hearted savior to lose his ideals and become what he hated most - a cruel executioner.

"If we open this mouth, there will be a second and third time. The shadows are always staring at us. Once we start plundering, more than one civilization will fall under our hands." While the high-level officials were having a meeting, Changgegugu He mustered up the courage, stumbled forward, stood in the spotlight, tore off his human skin mask, and shouted in front of thousands of senior leaders:

"——Don't let civilization become the executioner from now on! We will always have other ways - I believe that in front of the tram, people on both sides can survive!"

"The real savior once created miracles a hundred years ago, why do you have to bow your head this time! Has your blood been worn away? Do you want your descendants to be born among the bones of other civilizations?"

"This is drinking poison to quench thirst! Once you embark on the road of plunder, it will definitely be a dead end. In the end, you will inevitably provoke enemies that cannot be defeated. But as long as other methods are found, the coordinates will not be further leaked, and the existence time will be far longer than the plunder. !”

"——Why don't you understand? Please believe in the Millennium Plan! Please believe in the Millennium Plan!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs, his words were young and sharp, and he rushed forward with the passion of a young man, tightly clutching the necklace that gave him courage.

People actually understood what he was saying. But they would rather choose to plunder and leave troubles to future generations than believe that the seemingly fanciful "Millennium Plan" can be realized.

Changge really took the risk.

He is a useless copy. But in this moment, standing in the light—he felt his heart pounding, his eyes sparkling, something burning in his chest, igniting him.

【You are the long song of freedom and independence. 】

Brother Necklace's words echoed in his heart.

He knew exactly what he would do. He openly disagreed with the black-haired girl, and some people wanted to skin him to pieces, but no one would protect him.

He really just rushed into hell "naked" and burned himself like firewood just to awaken some people's conscience.

After listening to his words, some congressmen were moved, some showed unbearable expressions, some congressmen remained indifferent, and some looked worried - all kinds of things in the world were revealed in Chang Ge's eyes, and he clearly noticed at this moment -

ah.

…

It turns out that humans are such complex creatures.

Faced with the same paragraph, different people will show so many expressions.

…

"Changge! Come down!" Cheng Lishan's face turned pale with fear.

"Changge..." Su Meimei covered her eyes.

"This kid is really..." Dong Qi lit a cigarette: "I can't accept it... he has the same temper as the savior a hundred years ago. It's a pity..."

Unfortunately, the most intolerable thing in this world is idealism.

Saying this word will make people who are used to numbness laugh. There is no need for dreams or fairy tales in the adult world. These are things that children believe in.

Hundreds of years ago, their ancestors believed in fairy tales and ideals because the Savior wanted to believe. But now the savior has become pragmatism. In the "post-truth" era, things that are "non-pragmatic" and "non-mature" will be thrown into the garbage heap.

The security guards rushed forward and held down Chang Ge, who was helpless. Changge is just like Su Wensheng back then, he had an ideal but couldn't even beat the gangsters.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

In a show of loyalty, the security guards beat the replica as hard as they could. Most of the people in the audience were silent. The fact that they were sitting here meant that they supported the black-haired girl and would not be convinced from the beginning.

But how can a teenager understand politics?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of skin and flesh is harsh.

The fists hit the young man's shoulders, stomach, and back hard... and there was a dull sound. He fell to the ground, his forehead covered in blood.

Young people don’t understand politics, they only understand truth and ideals.

Members may understand politics, or they may understand truth and ideals.

But they pretend to understand the former. Regarding the latter, I understand and pretend not to understand.

"Bang!"

The blood spread out, and the young man was covered in scars, but he gritted his teeth and firmly protected the necklace in his arms to prevent it from getting stained with any blood.

He has fallen deeply into filth and is hopeless, but the necklace cannot - it is the last idealism in the world, the last bright candle in his heart, and the last hope for this civilization not to fall into the quagmire.

Don't let it go out.

Can't.

"Bang! Bang! Bang -"

…

After the meeting, Changge was sentenced to death.

…

If Changge were the savior himself, his remarks would not be guilty of anything, and would even make people immediately change their stance and follow his idealism.

Unfortunately he wasn't, so everything he said became "sin".

The day before his execution, General Qin came to see him. Changge lay in the cell, still holding the necklace.

He has nothing left, no piano, and no love. Everything was taken away, except for the necklace in his hand.

His nose was bruised, his face was dripping with blood, and his wounds were inflamed and swollen. He looked like a corpse that could only breathe, but the necklace in his hand was always clean.

"...Do you really believe that she will bring you hope?" Changge's throat was torn, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant. He was obviously called "Changge", but now he couldn't sing.

He looked at General Qin, and General Qin's eyes were silent.

The distance between them seemed really far.

The closest distance was when General Qin opened the hatch for him and gave him independence. After that, an infinite chasm opened.

Changge laughed, coughing up blood while laughing:

"What did she promise you to make you give up your ideals and become her flatterer."

"You are now... really under one person and above ten thousand people. Mr. Qin. The taste of power is delicious. When I die, you take the necklace, and no one will know who the real savior is."

"Plunder a few more civilizations, and you will become the overlord of civilization. Congratulations."

General Qin did not deny it, and stared at Changge with silent eyes.

General Qin didn't speak until he turned to leave:

"I will set a fire for you."

"From now on, you are free Changge."

"Stay away from us, kid."

Changge didn't understand what it meant, just closed his eyes and waited for tomorrow's execution.

Until the prison cell caught fire, Cheng Lishan suddenly appeared, dragged Changge out of the cell in the chaos, and escaped through a secret passage, Changge suddenly realized something.

"Go, Changge, go far away." Cheng Lishan pushed him out: "You are a good child, you are too clean, you are too good, this vortex of the power center is not suitable for you. Child, go where you want to go, wear a mask forever, and don't come back."

"I..." Changge looked back blankly-the sunlight was coated on the ice-white buildings of the central government, spreading a layer of sharp metal cold light, and the high-rise buildings were like swords piercing the sky, towering and majestic, chilling.

It turns out that this is not home.

It is a place where ideals are destroyed, a place where people are eaten, and a hell that determines the fate of civilization.

He didn't stop, and stumbled away. He was afraid that if he died, Brother Necklace would fall into the hands of bad people. He wanted to live... until Brother Necklace turned into a human form and changed everything.

So what if it was dirty here?

He would always clean it up.
