First Player

Chapter 416 Chapter 414·TE·Dream of Heaven (Part 1)

"..." Su Mingan was a little surprised.

This was the first guy he had ever met who turned his back on guests.

Previously, those people could basically listen to what he had to say quietly, and then have a good discussion with him. Only Su Lin didn't listen at all and learned to ask questions in return.

However, he believed that what Su Lin said was basically nonsense, and he did not agree with the other party's over-interpretation at all.

At such a critical moment, the barrage did not urge him to run away.

[Checking in famous scenes. 】

[What this god said was so true that I almost believed it. 】

[Aren’t you all panicking? This seems to be the rhythm of GG! 】

[If Su Ming'an didn't run away, he should be confident. He should have guessed who the god was before he even went to the city. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have brought Noel and the others. 】

[It’s impossible for the first player to lose?]

[It’s hard to say, what if someone is ready to be an observer? I think observers are pretty good too. It’s much better than fighting and killing in this underworld dungeon. It’s so cool to be a god. 】

[Go to heaven directly in one step? When players are still in the realm of humans and have to worry about various decryptions and live as tiredly as dogs, it would be great to be a god here. 】

[The first player should be the first player of mankind, why should it be the data of the copy? 】

[Does anyone still think they are data...]

【……】

…Does anyone still think they are data?

……data.

Su Mingan looked away and faced Su Lin's indifferent eyes.

"I mean..." he tried to repeat.

However, Su Lin interrupted him again.

"I have lived here for more than sixty years, watching everything in this land every day, every year... All the people in Praia, everything that happens, are all flashing in my eyes. However, I have seen too many things." He looked at Su Mingan: "And you, your age is definitely not more than twenty years old... You are trying to convince me with your experience of deceiving others... or... , with the almost terrifying emotional rendering power you showed in that speech on the South District wall...attack me?"

Su Ming'an discovered that this Su Lin really knew everything and spoke so clearly.

...should it be said that he is worthy of being the immortal god of Yunshang City?

After more than sixty years of accumulation, Su Lin has carried more and more hatred and life, and has grown to an extremely powerful state.

"What about strategies?" Su Mingan said, "I have always treated you as equals."

"clang!"

Behind him, the soldiers continued to attack him recklessly. He stretched out his hand and activated space vibration, blocking some of the most dangerous attacks.

There was a slight sound of the sword entering flesh, and he frowned slightly.

He took another step forward, and the two blades protruding from the bones of his left arm were torn apart by him.

The blood almost soaked him.

Su Lin, who was standing on the top step, getting closer and closer to him, had no intention of retreating when faced with his blood-stained sword.

"call--"

The cold wind blew up Su Lin's short shirt, and the white mist slowly floated away in the air.

"However, you said this to every NPC." Su Lin said: "Including the poor knight... But it is obvious that even at the last moment before his death, he did not find that you had ulterior motives in approaching him. .If he wasn't the legendary 'brave' who could withstand disasters, you wouldn't have gotten close to him at all. In the first few days, you only fought with him because of the name 'Bright Knight' and his A-level strength. Make good friends."

"Your statement is very shallow." Su Mingan refused to give in: "Even the identity of 'Bright Knight' is an indelible part of him, and these cannot be treated in isolation. I am only close to him because he is Xie Lude, a member of A complex and independent person who is structured by concepts such as 'brave', 'bright knight', 'A-level strength' - just like I am talking to you now, because you are Su Lin, the god of Yunshang City, for The inhabitants of Praia voluntarily imprisoned here the great man and no one else. For what I see with these eyes is your complete person."

"Quia." Su Lin frowned.

"It's just a statement. This is a direct expression of my point of view."

Su Mingan used his backhand sword to kill a soldier who was sneaking up on him.

He took a step forward, blood dripping down his trouser legs and staining the scarlet carpet.

At this time, he had already stepped onto the steps of the church door.

"Are you willing to leave here?" Su Mingan was trying his best to find a way to break the situation: "You also have the right to pursue your own life."

He knew very well that since Su Lin couldn't kill him, he wanted to pass the level - at least let the other party be persuaded, or let the other party choose to leave voluntarily.

He must change the current situation.

But Su Lin just shook his head, with self-mockery in his smile.

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that Su Lin's behavior is indeed bad from a psychological point of view. He is a villain who "chooses to deprive others of their lives in order to let more people live."

But he was also a great man.

He did not have to ascend to this city on the clouds. He could have stayed in Praia to enjoy his long life and spend the rest of his life with his lover like Princess Tulip.

However, he voluntarily chose to become the captain of the Yunshang and follow them up.

Just to know the desperate ending of everyone being destroyed.

——He can absorb their deaths, become a god, and build a barrier to continue the remaining tribe.

Although, people's lives should be decided by themselves and should not be controlled by so-called gods.

But Su Lin doesn't need to clear her name.

He is a gray character who chooses to give up some people for the sake of the ethnic group, and this abandoned person includes himself.

His unforgivable sin and darkness created his "greatness" and created such a "evil man" who actively controlled the war situation and arranged the death and fate of others.

There are some things that some people will do regardless of their own safety even if they know that they will not be tolerated by the world and that they will be shattered into pieces.

They don’t need sympathy, pity, praise or recognition.

They have always had firm beliefs and ideas. Although they are like villains and bosses in the eyes of others, the comic book protagonists are usually blindly passionate and cannot solve the problem at this time.

Because at that time, Su Lin couldn't watch everyone die.

"Suppose everyone is trapped on an iceberg, and an oncoming ship is coming, which will smash the iceberg and let them drown. And you are the only one standing on the safe side." Su Mingan said: "You have only two choices. One is to watch everyone die, and the other is to choose to save most of them. Obviously, you chose the latter - then you are not wrong, you even saved those who should have died - - In fact, they were all supposed to die there, so it is only natural for you to use their lives at any time in the future."

"Moreover." He slowed down and continued, his voice almost gentle: "You are also a kind person, Su Lin. If it weren't for your kindness, there would be no need for you to create letters on the cloud to send letters to those who have lost their loved ones. residents have something to look forward to.”

"You speak human language when you meet people, you speak nonsense when you meet ghosts." Su Lin said: "When you communicated with the Bright Knight before, you still believed that the 'battle between justice and gain' should not be manipulated by others. But you changed your mind when you came in front of me. A piece of rhetoric.”

"..."

Su Mingan rarely felt speechless.

He has fought all the way to this point, trying his best to communicate with the other party, trying to start with the other party's dreams and experiences in order to make the other party leave.

...As it turned out, the person in front of me was completely incompetent.

He was dismissed with just one sentence: "Do you think I'm an NPC that's attacking?"

In fact, the other party has become immune to him after reading his entire strategy over the past ten days. No matter how he changes his mind now, the other party will be able to find his words that are completely opposite to his current views.

Although Su Lin's words are indeed to the point.

He does talk to people when he meets them...

He suddenly heard Su Lin sigh.

"Except for what you said, in fact, I can't leave." Su Lin slowed down his tone: "The moment I combined the energy of this city and became a god, I was imprisoned here forever—— There's no way I can get out of here."

"Really?" Su Mingan approached again: "That's a pity."

After listening to Su Lin's words, he got more certain news.

In fact, he already had a solution in mind.

Before coming here, he had already guessed that the god might be Su Lin. If there was no exact solution, he would not come to this city rashly.

However, his vigilance has always made him habitually talk to the other party, and this kind of temptation will not stop until he is sure that his method is truly feasible.

He was thinking, and suddenly heard the other party's much more serious voice.

"Su Mingan, you have been bound by the setting called 'mission'." Su Lin suddenly said: "You don't fight for your own will and ideas, you only fight for the data and the so-called task restrictions.

You even went against your true philosophy and said these meaningless ‘strategy’ words to me.

You have become an NPC with the setting of a "traveler from another world" in the true sense... You have lost the ability to act and think out of your own will. "

Su Mingan was a little surprised.

……how? Su Lin wants to counter-brainwash him?

A gust of wind blew by, and he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, he could clearly feel the cold air flowing sluggishly on the side of his face, and he heard his heartbeat getting louder and louder.

Maybe it’s because of the legendary “sixth sense”.

He sensed danger.

He suddenly took a step forward and raised his long sword towards Su Lin.

"I will give you this opportunity to kill me." Su Lin did not dodge:

"NPC, traveler from another world, you can make your soul independent - kill me and become me. You can become an independent 'person' like me."

His eyes were extremely quiet.

The blade of the sword flashed with cold light, shining in front of Su Lin's eyes. In his dark golden eyes, there was a calmness as if a thousand sails had passed, as if he had already arranged his own death.

Su Lin has never been afraid of death.

He is such a person who does not take his own life seriously.

For him, the inheritance of will named 'Su Lin' is far more important than the life of 'Su Lin' himself.

Just like the continuation of the ethnic group and the wildfire of civilization, as long as there is still one generation of him, it doesn't matter how many generations he has died.

His ideals and will can almost be described as "divine".

——This is the divinity he possesses as a mere human being.

Not afraid of life and death, transform your own body and life into the divinity inherited by the entire civilization and ethnic group.

It sustained his will to save across the entire land.

He opened his arms, waiting for the other party to kill him.

The cold wind carrying snowflakes blew through his black hair. He was still wearing the original clothes of the captain of the Yunshang airship, and his face was still young.

The relatives who were waiting for him are dead, and the girl who had a crush on him is already gray-haired.

But he, who is always young, is imprisoned here forever, facing a silent future that may never change.

Dying now might be a relief for him.

Su Lin watched calmly as Su Ming'an's sword blade pierced his chest, and then watched the sword stop instantly when it was only an inch away from his heart.

The next moment, a group of beating flames came up.

- No, it's not a flame.

It was a red rose with an extremely bright color, like a fiery red rose.

The petals of the rose looked very delicate, as if they had just been picked from the branches, but they contained a powerful force that made him extremely resistant.

A force called rules immediately restrained the powerful him.

"A traveler from another world." Su Lin's tone was still indifferent: "You are really smart."

The bright red rose was pushed by Su Ming'an's hand and slammed against Su Lin's chest.

Nolia’s red roses are in effect.

"Bye now--"

Su Mingan stared at the eyes that were exactly the same as his, and saw his own blood-soaked reflection in the eyes.

"—the immortal god of Playa," he said.

The next moment, white light bloomed on Su Lin's body.

That's the white light that represents teleportation.

Su Mingan was suddenly pushed out by the white light. Behind him, the soldiers disappeared at the same instant.

Under the influence of Nolia's red rose, Su Lin became a "player".

He broke free from the shackles called "eternal life" and was able to successfully leave the city.

Möbius strip, endless, no right and wrong, no beginning and no end.

Such a paper ring has only one side and it looks impeccable. People who walk on it can never escape from it. They can't tell where the starting point is and where the ending point is, as if they are in an endless cycle.

——Unless there is a hand from the ascending dimension, tearing this paper ring apart.

[Nolia’s Red Rose].

This "hand" from another world tore open this Möbius strip.

Su Ming'an always knows that risks come with opportunities, and there is no way a copy of the game will give people an unpassable plot.

He also thought about the reason why no one else got the identity of "Su Lin" except him.

He ruled out many possibilities, but considering the game mechanics, he believed that the most likely reason was——

In the final stage, he alone has the props that can break the "Su Lin" cycle, the props that allow players to pass the level perfectly.

Therefore, only he can hold this identity.

If he had used that item before this world began, then even he would not have obtained the identity of "Su Lin".

Because the game copy is so fair.

It will never block the way for a normal player to complete the level perfectly, which will only lose its long-standing fairness.

As for the key prop that "only he owned", he thought carefully about it.

——It can only be [Nolia’s Red Rose].

Because at the end of the White Rift Floating City TE line, he was the only one to successfully play it.

Therefore, he should be grateful that he had not used this red rose since the beginning of the seventh world, saving it for the most critical moment.

If Su Mingan cannot bring out the red rose at this time, only a desperate ending awaits him. Regardless of whether he kills Su Lin or not, he will be stuck here.

Red rose was actually almost used.

But Xie Lude, who originally longed for the player world... broke through the double shackles of NPCs and "NPCs who longed for the player world".

He gave up the red rose and jumped over the "trap" set by the copy.

So, in a sense,

——The Knight of Light who chose self-sacrifice and personally returned the red rose, at this moment, indirectly saved the world where Su Mingan lived.

Perfect pass without interruption.

The young knight named Sherrod——

He is the most competent Knight of Light.
