First Player

Chapter 1226 Chapter One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Three·""Rowasha's Ring" (Part 2)"

"You gave him bread! Why can't you give it to me!"

"What you lost was just some gold coins and clothes, but what we lost was our lives!"

"Good Samaritan, you are a good person, a good person will save us..."

Lu Shu was dizzy from being pushed. Logically, he should have drawn the knife, but he saw a child with white hair... The child was wrapped in dirty newspapers and had burns all over his body. He looked at him helplessly. It made him feel sad and confused.

"Lu Shu" exists in any world.

In other words, "a child like Lu Shu".

At this time, Yongchun next to him had enough of the show and snapped his fingers.

A dazzling light bloomed at his fingertips, illuminating the dark slum, and the poor people suddenly shrank back three feet in fear.

"The magician...it's the magician..." They shivered and backed away.

"They are a race that can use magic... Magic can kill people with one move, and it is more effective than a stick..."

"Run, run, they kill without blinking an eye, my sister-in-law was killed by them..."

Soon, the alley became quiet. Even though Yongchun just lit his finger and didn't do anything, it was already extremely intimidating.

Lu Shu bit his lip, and he felt something strongly wrong - this was not a beautiful other world at all, but rather bloody and cruel to the point of being heinous. No matter which world we are in, no matter how dazzling and glorious legends this world has, the situation of the people at the bottom will never change.

What does the great epic of heroes and demons have to do with ordinary people? A Goblin will always be a Goblin, and a Palu will always be a Palu.

"...There is no law here?" Lu Shu whispered.

Eva listened and laughed: "Yes. Whether it is the [Knights of Dawn] who believe in the Mother Goddess of Light, Krichens, or the [Guardians of Order] who are committed to maintaining order. Whether they believe in Nalan, the God of Contract, Dosi's [Nalan Court] is still the [United of All Beings] that believes in the god of trade Yuri... But it is a pity that only races with human rights have laws to speak of. Most people living in slums do not even have household registration. . Even if he dies, the local guards will not confront the noble magician, they still need the benefits brought by the magician. "

Lu Shu clenched his fists.

"Okay, let's go." Yongchun comforted: "Yuqing, you will soon turn a blind eye. This is the normal state of society."

Lu Shu raised his feet, but suddenly found that someone was not leaving.

It's the little boy with white hair.

The little boy stood behind the trash can, exposing the burns on his entire right arm, and looked timidly at Lu Shu.

Lu Shu shouldn't take him with him.

But the little boy also has a pair of green eyes, like the new spring leaves swaying slightly in the clear tea... so similar.

"Good Samaritan...can I follow you?" The white-haired boy looked at Lu Shu.

"No." Lu Shu said.

"I am from the Qingzhu tribe. I am not lethal and very obedient. If you want to eat me, I can slowly peel off the skin and you can eat it for a long time." The little white-haired boy seemed to have already understood the rules of survival in the slums, so he spoke. Talking about his edible value: "As long as you keep raising me, I will always have green bamboo to eat."

This kind of bloody value measurement is the norm for Rawasha - when a lower race recommends itself to a higher race for work, it is not a "resume and offer", but its own "food value". For example, how long can it be exploited before it dies, how long can it be eaten before it is eaten, and whether it is necessary to take a double vacation to let the body's flesh and blood grow back a little.

But Lu Shu's heart suddenly felt empty.

...Qingzhu Clan.

He turned back suddenly and stared closely at the boy's white hair, green eyes, and burns.

…

[Lu Shu stood in the dark space, facing the rows of racial introductions, with a face filled with hesitation. 】

["Qingzhu Clan..." Lu Shu's finger stopped at the Qingzhu Clan. 】

[Cassadia next to him showed a pleasant smile, and whispered in his ear: "The Green Bamboo Clan is not good, they are too weak. Those bamboos are cut down by various races every day, and they are also subjected to the flames from the Red Flame Angel. The clan is about to be exterminated. If you become the Qingzhu clan, you won’t be able to help him.”]

…

When two pairs of similar green eyes met, Lu Shu felt a tremor-like emotion in his heart. He suddenly felt strong fear and shock, and dense goosebumps appeared on his back.

...If, if he had not chosen the Blood Clan at that time, he had chosen the Green Bamboo Clan.

Will this boy with white hair and green eyes be possessed by him? This young man looks... almost like a possessed vessel specially prepared for him - white hair, green eyes, burnt, green bamboo tribe, homeless and eating garbage.

But he was bewitched by the devil of fun, and his choice went awry, and he chose the vampire clan, which resulted in the white-haired boy still living well in the slums.

"Are you... the young master of the Qingzhu tribe?" Lu Shu's voice was hoarse.

The white-haired boy's pupils dilated. Although he didn't answer, the surprise in his eyes told Lu Shu that he was indeed the young master of the Qingzhu tribe.

Once upon a time, the Green Bamboo Tribe suffered from the flames of the Red Flame Angel. The young leader of the Green Bamboo Tribe escaped by chance and lived in a slum, making a living by picking up garbage.

——What a suitable background story, such a suitable identity, and such a suitable hair color and eye color.

It's simply... this world has already prepared the most suitable identities for these players, cultivating these people who are similar to them, waiting for them to come, let them take over the lives of these poor people, and enjoy the wonderful and free life. adventure.

"Players" are favored by the world.

As long as they come, wonderful stories will begin, epic poems will soon be staged, and grand stories will be played in the sound of trumpets.

But those who are waiting to be replaced are not.

In the life stories of these people, there is only money, involution, poverty, dirtiness, distress and eternal boredom. Apart from waiting for the protagonists to write grand and wonderful stories, they do not have any new plots. Even in the written records, the plots about them are just poor and broad names such as "everyone", "people", and "everyone". When the grand and magnificent story ends, their lives will not change.

The excitement belongs to the "players", and ordinary people have nothing.

And in such silence,

in the timid sight of the white-haired boy,

the favored "player", the person in the same position as the white-haired boy -

reached out to the boy.

The big hand is broad and smooth, without burns, and there are no corrosive scars left by years of picking up garbage.

It's like a...complete body that has been healed. The life named Lu Shu has been completed.

He began to want to try to change something, to do something... just like the police officer Uncle Zhao who offered him a helping hand at that time.

He had been saved by a "good man".

He wanted to become a new "good man", a new "Uncle Zhao".

"Let's go." Lu Shu looked at the boy:

"Follow me, whether it's revenge or what you want to do."

"I'll take you to... write a more exciting story."

"Xiao Lu."

...

Under the blue sky, a large blue-purple jellyfish floated in the sky, with Su Mingan and the pink-haired girl sitting on it.

They were heading to the pink-haired girl's home. According to her, it was the safest place, where they could stay until twelve o'clock tonight, when [Game Day] would begin.

Su Mingan was quite confident in the pink-haired girl. She was one of the few people who didn't show a covetous look towards him.

"Pudding, I want to ask you about what you just said." Su Ming'an looked at her face without desire: "You said that you were the original heroine of Luowasha, and your plot was squeezed out by a villain. Does that mean Luowasha is a book?"

Pudding shook his head: "This is just a metaphor. The protagonist means the [protagonist] of Luowasha, the person who will play the greatest role and the most outstanding."

Su Ming'an understood. Equivalent to Actor in the ruins world, Siber in the dome, and Su Lin in Praya, they are all key figures in the world.

"However, Luowasha's story is more like a game than a novel. You can call it "The Ring of Luowasha." Pudding said.

"... Let's call it Luowasha." Su Ming'an was sweating, and the name sounded familiar. He asked again: "So you know what will happen in the future, so you think you are the heroine?"

"Yes, I have the gift of foresight, I know what will happen in the future." Pudding said: "I am the heroine in the future plot, I will play a lot of roles and successfully complete Luowasha's mission of saving the world - but a scheming villain named 'Hui Bai', somehow, he also knew the future plot in advance, so he squeezed my role and approached you. Originally, those plots that took you to ride the cat car, divination cards, and see the world tree... should have been done by me."

"You mean, you are the heroine and I am the hero?" Su Mingan said.

Pudding glanced at him, her pupils were extremely clear, but they could not reflect anything, like a mirror covered with a thin film. Looking at such eyes, Su Mingan suddenly felt... her words might not be reliable.

"Yes, you will be the hero wherever you are." Pudding said.

"You are too kind..." Su Mingan said subconsciously.

"I'm not praising you." Pudding said lightly: "Whoever is valued by the World Tree and becomes the [protagonist] of Luowasha will be unlucky."

"In my decades of life, I have deeply experienced the torment and pain of being a [protagonist]."

"Can you imagine it?"

"-Everything will revolve around you. No matter where you hide, the spotlight will always be on you. Those major world events will always be pulled to you and let you solve them."

"-Any force will always target you for various reasons, whether it is gratitude, hatred, desire, or greed. As long as you are not careful, they will skin you and tear your bones apart, fight around you crazily, and many people will die."

"-Anyone will always revolve around you. Whether they want to be your close friend, or Become your mortal enemy... Everyone's eyes are on you, and your attitude determines their position. Will they be loved by the World Tree and become the [male supporting actor of the protagonist group] or [female supporting actor of the protagonist group], or will they be hated by you and become [cannon fodder], [vicious villain], [brain-dead villain who hasn't been killed yet], [villain who may be whitewashed and reformed]?"

"——In order to get close to you, the [protagonist], they grovel and act like [decent people] by your side, seeking more opportunities to appear. Some people really can't get your trust, so they can only do the opposite, deliberately become the [villain] standing opposite to you, and get a role by opposing you——As long as they can appear in the eyes of the [protagonist] and become a key plot character of Luowasha, they will do whatever it takes to compete for the role. "

"And in order to deal with the crisis of the world, you either try your best but end up with nothing, or lose your partners and relatives and cry while holding the corpse of your companion - because this is the story that the World Tree likes, with tension, tragedy, contradictions and excitement!"

"Do you want to be such a [protagonist]?"

Pudding's words made Su Mingan silent.

Some people are humble and decent, while others are crazy and villains. As long as they can stay with the [protagonist] and become the key plot, they will fight for the role at all costs.

Su Liujin and Pudding are the [protagonists] of Luowasha, who are valued by the World Tree.

"Fortunately, now only Huibai and I know the plot and who the [protagonist] is." Pudding said: "Yesterday, Huibai, the vicious villain, took over the plot between you and me, and he almost replaced my [protagonist] position."

"So the princess of the Red Tower is you." Su Mingan reacted.

Su Liujin was captured to the Red Tower to replace a Red Tower princess to participate in the [Game Day]. But before Pudding could communicate with Su Mingan, Huibai got there first. As soon as Su Mingan woke up, Huibai immediately took him to play on the street. If Su Mingan had not been captured by the bone dragon and separated from Huibai, Pudding's role would have been completely replaced.

But Su Mingan still kept his own thoughts - he did not think Huibai was a "vicious villain", Huibai did not look like a bad guy.

He only believed Pudding's words three points. She was definitely more than the Princess of the Red Pagoda. She might be the World Tree that turned into a human and came to fool him. Otherwise, why would she be the [female protagonist]?

"By the way." Pudding suddenly thought of something: "There is a person who calls himself 'Su Lin' over at my house, and he seems to be looking for you. Is that your friend? A decent person or a villain?"

"... A decent person." Su Mingan was a little unaccustomed to Pudding's way of speaking. She seemed to really treat Luo Vasha as a game.

"Is it [a decent person who is eager to help the protagonist], or [a hot-blooded troublemaker in the team], or [a mature and steady elder brother], or [a funny person in the team], or [a cute mascot in the team], or [a cool male second who gives a few words from time to time]..." Pudding listed.

"...None of them. I don't think you can judge a person in this way." Su Mingan said: "They are independent, and you can't judge their life positioning based on my position."

Pudding blinked and said nothing.

To her, the sorrow and joy of billions of lives, the grand and unplayed plot, seemed like just a game or a book that had already been written.

There was still nothing in her eyes.

...It seemed that she had already seen the happy ending of "Ring of Rovatha".

...
