Chapter 1378 Chapter 30·"Su Ming'an, make a bet with me."

There are some small words in the corner of the WORD document:

...

[Resetting is not 100% preservation. No matter how detailed I write, there will be many people who have no sense of existence and will never appear again. ]

[With each reset, the number of people belonging to the word "masses" will always decrease again and again. Only the brave with colorful stories can last forever. ]

[Does this world really not welcome mediocre people? ]

[Maybe Wenjun is right. From the perspective of the creator, my perspective is always arrogant. ]

[Arrogance is the original sin of the creator. ]

...

Noel looked away and continued to move forward, as if these files had nothing to do with him.

He has found his own way and no longer cares about other people's stories.

After a few steps, his story appeared again.

The next scene is a wardrobe in the classroom under the moonlight.

After adventuring all night, Xiao Su, who was extremely tired, opened the closet and hid in it. He sat in the narrow closet and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Not long after, the blond boy appeared near the closet, opened the closet, saw Xiao Su in the closet, and moved his palm.

"Swish!" The puppet thread, as thin as a silk thread, cut through Xiao Su's neck. Xiao Su's head still remained on his neck, but his breath had completely disappeared.

Su Mingan watched this scene.

A sense of sudden realization filled his heart.

——It was Noel.

——It turned out that Noel had killed Xiao Su before.

No wonder the cut on Xiao Su's neck was so thin... Xiao Su's head fell off when Su Mingan touched it. The silk thread could indeed cause such an effect.

The reason is not difficult to guess. It should be that the Lord of the End of All Things asked Noel to kill him. Xiao Su is the protagonist of the Disciple Game. Xiao Su's death is beneficial to the Lord of the End of All Things.

"..."

The truth is already clearly in front of him. Su Mingan began to wonder who would be the next person with a similar position after Noel left completely. The burden on his shoulders was too heavy to allow him to continue to wait for Noel's answer in the vain.

Lu? Lu was also smart, but he was not as close to him as Noel. Coupled with the influence of the sea angel, Lu's condition was not good.

Luna? Luna died for him, so there was no problem with trust, but she lacked some strength to keep up.

Su Lin? Su Lin was indeed very good, but she was always missing...

"Su Mingan, why are you following me secretly?" At this time, Noel in front suddenly said. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Su Mingan.

Su Mingan was startled, but he remained quiet and waited silently.

After a moment, Noel retracted his sight. He just casually tested to see if anyone was following him.

He continued to move forward. This time, what appeared in front of him was a vast library.

- Blackwater Library.

Rows of bookshelves, settled between the black water, were filled with rows of books. At a glance, there are hundreds of rows and columns of bookshelves, which remain quiet in the turbulent black water.

Noel stopped.

This is the "Black Water Library" mentioned by the Lord of the World. The triple illusion set by Si Que failed to stop him. It was superficial and boring.

The crystal wind blew up the blue rose ribbon. Noel lowered his hat and raised his head slightly. Transparent whales flowed between the bookshelves, and hundreds of millions of books were dotted with stars.

"This is where the great artist Luo Vasha collects books." Noel looked around: "There are indeed many books."

He casually pulled out a recent one and opened it.

[Further Analysis of “Milk-Cola Economics”]

[Author: An Economics Teacher Who Does Not Want to Leave His Name]

[File Number: Economics-Na-2918012]

[File Time: The Last 1 Hour of the 1127th Reset]

[“Author’s Preface: In the final moments, I will summarize my academic achievements in recent years. Whether I exist after the reset, I will accept the results calmly. If I can appear again, I will erase this preface and conduct a more in-depth academic research next time. Due to limited time, the author will no longer write in a strict paper format, please forgive me.”]

[“The text is as follows: The cost-effectiveness principle is the source of all economic concepts. It proposes that only when the external benefits of an action are greater than the external costs…”]

…

Noel closed the book. This area is full of various academic books. Looking around, it is as vast as smoke.

… So this is the book left by people in a total of 3027 resets?

Each reset is not exactly the same. This depends on the status of Si Que and the World Tree. Some people will disappear with forgetfulness, and some people will appear with inspiration.

There are 10 billion people in Luowasha, and Si Que can't remember them one by one. He can only remember some people with characteristics. The remaining 99% of people will be stored as fixed templates and reappear after a few words of imitation.

"1,200 demons, they have scarlet eyes, they are the people of the great devil Pero", "420 million human beings, they are smart but short-lived, good at learning"...

They are composed of only these short keywords.

The rest "blonde hair and blue eyes smart boy", "black hair and black eyes swordsman girl", "white hair and blue eyes silent swordsman"... are all exclusive synonyms for heroes.

And the masses only have "masses".

Noel walked to another bookshelf and took out a book at random.

……

[《The Last 10 Minutes of the 1599th Reset》]

[Recorder: Anonymous]

[File number: AVI-382891]

……

The book was opened, and it was a disc.

Noel inserted the disc into the projector built into the book, and the picture appeared:

……

[In the picture, a bald man came to the camera first and waved:]

[“Hey, hey! Now is the last 10 minutes before the reset, everyone come to the camera and smile!”]

[People came up quickly and showed their faces to the camera. A girl with pigtails, a red-haired young man with a mole on the corner of his eye, a woman holding a baby, a white-haired old man...]

[Behind them, there was a red sun that was about to set. ]

[They stood on the tallest building nearby, and the people at the bottom of the building were walking leisurely, without the panic before the end of the world. 】

【Before the reset reaches 2,000 times, Si Que will explain the reset to the people of Luowasha and mobilize people to try to "enter the book" together. There will be no hiding, so people are not so panicked at this time. 】

【"Lord Olives said that this time it will definitely end the endless reset! He told everyone the ballad of "entering the book". As long as we recite the ballad at the last moment, we will enter the Garden of Eden where there will be no more red sun!" The old man said energetically. 】

【"Garden of Eden, what will it be like there... Will there be endless candy to eat, endless milk to drink..." The girl with pigtails fantasized. 】

【"That's the new world created by Lord Oliver himself! It must be perfect!" The yellow-haired boy with a bandage on his face shouted with blood boiling, raising his fist:】

【"We are going to the new world-we are going to the new world!!"】

【"There is no suffering or pain there, only flowing milk and honey! And golden bread!"】

【His energetic voice immediately made everyone in the slum laugh. They have lived together since childhood and will be together at the last moment. 】

【"But..." Maya, the little girl in the wheelchair, stammered: "I heard from Sister Nata who works in the research institute that according to the "inspiration measurement system", only those who meet the standards will be successfully "entered into the book", and many people's inspirations cannot meet the standards... Moreover, I heard that this time it may not be successful. After all, we are the 1599th person, and before us, there have been 1598 failures."】

【"Oh, my little Maya, don't be so pessimistic! Lord Oliver said that this time it will definitely succeed!" Ponny patted her shoulder. 】

【The yellow-haired boy smiled and said, "That's right! I declare - from now on, the 1599th time is the deadline! There will be no higher number!"】

【"There are only 3 minutes left!" Ponny shouted. 】

【"Mother Lisa, hold little John tight, we are going to step into the new world together, don't lose him!" The red-haired young man helped the woman holding the baby to stabilize. 】

【"Do you remember the ballad that Lord Oliver taught everyone? Don't sing it wrong!" The nun in black and white clothes asked with concern. 】

【"Of course, I have sung it countless times in the past few days, and the church choir has been singing it every day, and the speakers in the square are almost broken!" The girl with pigtails raised her hand. 】

【"Then, let's hold each other's hands--"】

【They circled around, the old man holding the child, the child holding the boy, the boy holding the mother, the mother holding the girl, the girl holding the big man...】

【Similar to them, every group of people downstairs, every person far away, the lives above the clouds... all looked at the red sun and prepared to step into the new world. 】

【There--there is no end and no red sun, there is only the milk and honey promised by Lord Olivers himself. 】

【There--there is no pain and no sorrow, there is a brand new world in the book, all the troubles can be offset with just a few strokes--】

【"Ten, nine, eight--"】

【People counted down. 】

【The light of the red sun descended little by little. 】

【Whether it was to cheer himself up or pray, the old man's turbid eyes flashed with a halo, and suddenly he pulled his hoarse voice and cried and shouted:】

【"It will definitely work this time, Lord Olivers said, it will definitely work this time--!"】

【The old man's roar was mixed with sobs. ]

[Because, if it doesn’t work, if there is another reset…they, as small and humble as sand, will disappear…]

[Next time, there will be new names like “Little John”, “Yellow-haired Boy”, “Very Spirited Old Man”… to replace their existence. ]

[In the eyes of the viewer, these are the same words. ]

[But in their eyes…this is their self and their life. ]

[In the big story of Luowasha, they are small, traceless, insignificant, and can’t even occupy a word, but they are everything. The anchor of the text never falls on them. ]

[They are fleeting beings. ]

[“Three, two, one——”]

[This moment. 】

【People sang the ballad of "Into the Book":】

【"Look up.

I use the blue moonlight to write about the unknown and vastness of the universe.

You use the dawn to give me eyes and peace.

Thousands of midnights.

You use dust to mold a star in the mud..."】

【"——!"】

【The red sun descended. 】

[The singing stopped abruptly. ]

[The intense red light covered everything, fell on the whole world. Like a tide and magma, it covered people. ]

[At the end of the shot, there was a burst of red, and vast words emerged from them, from tens of billions of lives, turning into tens of billions of rivers of words, like dense black and gray rivers, flowing into the sky. ]

[Above the sky, the network of words flowed. ]

[The purple-haired creator was high above the clouds, commanding the world, and the world was quiet. ]

[He bowed his head in silence, looking at the silent world, picked up the feather pen, and erased the latest line of words that appeared in the sky——]

[1599th reset (crossed out)]

[——1600th reset (new writing)]

[“…”]

[The Garden of Eden was not completed, and the ballad "entered the book" still had errors. Unfortunately, this time it was doomed to fail. It will take a long time... before there is a chance of success. 】

【He did deceive people. 】

【He is an arrogant and hypocritical creator, destined to disappoint these people who are full of expectations. 】

【The purple-haired creator sighed silently, waved the feather pen, and wrote new content again. 】

【——The creator opened the book again. 】

【The next story begins again. 】

【"Click", the old camera fell to the ground, and no one smiled and picked it up. 】

……

Su Mingan looked at the video.

——This is just a trivial one out of 3027 times.

So this is what happened before.

He walked forward, but suddenly heard a sudden voice:

……

"——Su Mingan, do you want to read with me?"

……

A scent of blue roses floated over, and the blond boy had his eyes on him without knowing when.

Su Mingan confirmed that Nuoer had indeed seen him, and then he removed the space to hide: "When did you find me?"

Nuoer's fingers moved: "I have a habit of putting a silk thread in your heart. Your silk thread vibrates too heavily, and I know you are very close to me."

Su Mingan said: "So you knew it from the beginning."

Nuoer said: "Yeah."

Amid the turbulent black water, he narrowed his blue eyes, lowered the brim of his hat, and suddenly said: "Su Mingan, make a bet with me."

Su Mingan looked, but could no longer see Nuoer's eyes: "...What bet?"
