First Player

Chapter 7 · "So, people no longer believe in love."

Lin Guang forgot how many knives he had fired.

The black knife in his hand was chopping away, like chopping up a puddle of meat. He almost lost his mind, his mind was filled with dark emotions, leaving only the desire to destroy.

Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell...

Disgusting, greedy, ignorant, stupid...

One sword, two swords, three swords...

"Da da da……"

Blood overflowed and soaked his leather boots, and the smell of blood spread far away.

The players on the ground were already dead. Lin Guang was still cutting into the mess, gradually cutting several complete humanoid figures into pulverized pieces of flesh. The scene was extremely terrifying.

"...the most stubborn, the most paranoid, the one who insists on ruining his own life, the darkest and most shameless person."

During the noisy rainstorm, footsteps could be heard next to the collapsed residential houses.

When Lin Guang heard this, he slowly turned around and saw a young man in a white coat walking towards him, it was the god.

The god observed the mess, smiled and shook his head:

"Lin Guang, indeed you are such a person."

"But that's not enough."

Lin Guang stared at him.

The god walked up to him: "You have regretted it a long time ago, right? You were merciless to Doomsday City back then, which is why you are like a defeated dog now... If you were still high in the City of God, how could such a disgusting person come here? In front of you? They will all become your sacrifices in the fire."

Lin Guang was still staring at the god.

The heavy rain soaked Lin Guang's white hair, and one strand of hair looked gray. A few twisted strands of hair were placed in front of his eyebrows, making his calm expression even more gloomy.

"You yourself gave Doomsday City a chance back then, letting them drive you out of the City of God, and you are now in such a mess. Let those ugly tigers, leopards and wolves still live, and let your friends be kidnapped by their unscrupulous morals..." The god slowly rotated from Lin Guang's right to the left: "Do you regret it?"

His body blocked the purple-blue neon light slanting from the street next to him, casting a large and deep shadow on Lin Guang's face.

Lin Guang's eyes moved.

"I regret it." He touched the bruise on his neck and said in a low voice, "I... regret it very much."

The god smiled and said: "You should regret it. You had the opportunity to dominate the overall situation because you were once the most powerful representative of the god's camp... It's a pity that you abandoned the city of god and now you have become a stray dog. "

"But now there is another opportunity." At this point, the god changed his subject.

He stood half a step away from Lin Guang, and the two were very close.

"...What?" Lin Guang said.

"Lin Guang." The god is like a demon that confuses the soul:

"-Do you want to keep your friend forever?"

Their shadows swayed between the lights, blurred by the heavy rain.

"What?" Lin Guang took a step back suddenly.

"Ling Guang, you should know... Su Ming'an is not from this world. His journey in this world has entered the end period, and he will leave completely in no more than three days."

The god said:

"As for your ending... I guess you will be called 'the world boss defeated by Su Mingan'. It is no different from those characters in the past. You don't even have characters like 'Holy Enlightenment' or 'Bright Knight'." People like it. Those viewers even hate you, thinking that you are parodying a person named 'Lu Shu'."

Lin Guang didn't understand.

The level of knowledge of the god in front of him is always far above him - it is a kind of extremely high knowledge that seems to span several dimensions, and it is a God-like perspective.

"I'm not Lu Shu." Lin Guang only focused on the god's words.

The god smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are not."

"What should I do?" Lin Guang asked.

"I can forgive your previous betrayal of me. As long as you cooperate with me, we can try to keep Su Ming'an in this world forever. After my world takes over this ruined world, I can give you a piece of land for you to live on. ...If you want, you can continue to be my agent." The god wiped his arm, and there was a big wound there: "Frankly speaking, many people around Su Ming'an are quite troublesome, especially the one who left. The NPC that got the dungeon caused a lot of obstacles for me..."

At this point, the god sighed: "If Nolia's red roses are still there, maybe I will be moved."

Lin Guang couldn't understand this riddle at all and frowned: "Tell me the important point!"

The god leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

Lin Guang's expression changed from anxiety to shock, and then gradually turned to thinking. After a moment, he nodded: "Can this really keep him here?"

"certainly."

"I agree." Lin Guang said.

God got the answer in the affirmative. He nodded towards Lin Guang, turned around and left, like a white ghost traveling in the heavy rain.

At this time, Lin Guang couldn't help but clenched his fists, suddenly raised his head, and asked the god:

"...God, in your understanding, what is 'love'? You are so smart, you must have figured it out a long time ago. Can you tell me?"

His voice penetrated the cold rain like a sharp sword.

"What is love..." The god paused for a moment, as if remembering. His dark gray pupils narrowed slightly, as if countless images were floating around. But soon, the pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of haze again.

"[Love is not simply giving, sacrificing, and gaining, but constantly developing and improving one's own personality in getting along with each other. In the process, one will become more and more independent and complete, and thus establish a connection with the world. Good love It will make people feel positive, healthy and stable.]" God said: "In my opinion, 'love' makes people feel happy, which is something you can't understand."

Lin Guang looked confused: "But Luvis told me that love means 'die'."

The god shook his head, stopped staying, and quickly disappeared in the darkness.

Lin Guang lowered his gaze. He picked up the broken mirror glass on the ground and saw his own eyes reflected in the light. They were a pair of eyes full of all negative emotions.

"Stay," he said to himself.

Falling into darkness is very simple, just have less bottom line, less morality, less kindness and compassion, and reduce the good qualities in your body as much as possible.

...But if a person is born in darkness and cannot learn how to accept positive feelings, how can he see the light? If everyone looked at him with disgust and fear...

"Stay?"

As if to respond to someone, he touched his lips and smiled at himself in the mirror.

"Stay."

…

[But nowadays, true love is mostly painful and silent. 】

[Poets have obliterated it, they keep writing about love until it overflows into a river. 】

【As a result, people no longer believe in love. The student stood under the nightingale's branch and thought, love is no longer fashionable. 】

…

"stop."

During the heavy rainstorm, the brightness of the field of view was extremely low, and only the colorful neon lights reflected the faint light in the water.

Su Ming'an stood in front of a heavy robot, with his index finger in front of his lips, as if to comfort the other person.

Under the shocked gazes of the players and soldiers, the red light in the eyes of this menacing robot disappeared and fell into sleep. Along the way, Su Mingan has stopped three or four heavy robots and rescued hundreds of residents.

"Sir!" Xi ran over. She was already a little afraid to call him handsome.

"Have you found the god?" Su Mingan said.

"No! The communication has been interrupted. Su Xiaobi can no longer be contacted. There is no sound from Team Mu. I don't know if it is a signal problem." Xi said anxiously: "Anita from the Yaoguang Mercenary Regiment led the team to leave. She He said he didn't want to die with us. Andersi, Borg, and the others were also shaken. The key now is that we must kill the gods - break through the central government building!"

Su Mingan looked up and saw that among the stacks of buildings, the tallest Central Government Building was like a standing silver corner, with scarlet warning lights flashing in its honeycomb-like windows.

Players gradually gathered over. The leader is a brown-haired middle-aged man named Hicks, who belongs to the Tianyu Clan of the United Regiment and is quite authoritative among the players.

"Su Mingan, during your more than an hour of resonance, the Central Government Building is now protected by a strange creature. We cannot break it. We need your power." Hicks said sincerely.

"Let's go." Su Mingan said.

He turned and walked towards the core direction, and the swaying bells of the bell tower came to his ears, as if heralding the end of fate.

Some players whispered:

"I really like how Su Mingan looks like now. He looks very reliable."

"It's so reassuring to follow him. I feel like the road to victory is right in front of me. I really hope he can stay in this state."

"..."

They all followed Su Mingan and pulled up a long train.

at this time.

In the sky, a burst of blue-purple light suddenly lingered, like an electromagnetic flash.

"Click-click!"

Before anyone could be surprised, a huge sheet of light quickly unfolded like a scroll and appeared over the entire city-state, like a film of light covering the entire sky. At the same time, TV screens, car screens, roadside billboards... all electronic devices heard a "click" sound!

Screen after screen suddenly lit up, instantly like scattered sparks, lighting up the entire dark night. People looked at these screens that suddenly lit up in shock and realized something.

World Live!

This is a live broadcast covering the entire world of Caiusta! All cities, gathering places, and even villages and towns that have formed an alliance with Doomsday City can watch the live broadcast simultaneously.

As early as the War of Dawn, Su Mingan had used this kind of live broadcast to spread the Lighthouse Religion, telling stories to people around the world every day. But now, this device is actually being used by gods.

On the screen, a gentle face appeared. The god is sitting on the rooftop of the building. He is wearing a white suit, with sapphire cufflinks glowing with a blue-purple halo. His fingers are resting on the silver plate decorated with tiramisu. The whole person looks extremely relaxed, as if he is connected with this world. The war in the city-state has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"What's going on?" Violet had a premonition that something was wrong.

"The gods have interrupted our signal. Now neither the enemy nor ourselves can transmit information to the outside world, but he himself can!" Higurashi raised his eyebrows: "In other words, the world live broadcast he has initiated now - everything he said to the outside world, None of us can refute it!”

"Then if the gods tell the tens of millions of people outside the city that we are the rebels who are causing civil strife in the city--wouldn't we be able to refute it?" Yamada Machichi finally realized the key point: "The problem is, the impostor is a god Himself! We are the ones who are right! Isn’t this a slap in the face?”

He couldn't help but look at Su Ming'an standing aside.

...These are obviously Su Ming'an's achievements. It is the city-state that Su Ming'an single-handedly conquered... Now actually...

Su Ming'an was already soaked through in the heavy rain. His black hair was wet and stuck to his ears. His pupils were covered with a layer of water vapor, and his face was covered with water marks, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Su Ming'an!" Yamada Machi couldn't help but shout, holding Su Ming'an's hand tightly: "I believe you can defeat that god! That thing is so mean! Fuck him to death!"

"clatter."

In the live broadcast, the god stood up. At this time, people all over the world, no matter city-states, small towns, or villages, wherever the signal is covered, can see the words and deeds of the gods.

The pouring rain made a detour towards the god, as if in awe of his presence. The god raised his eyes and said loudly to the vast world——

"People of the ruined world. I am Asa Akto."

"Doomsday City is being invaded by a group of rebels, and they support a demon named 'Su Mingan'."

"Some people regard this demon as a leader, an officer, or even their belief... They have been bewitched. I will drive out this group of human traitors here today - if you can see my face and hear me voice, please raise your hands high and support me!!!"

His voice was extremely loud and spread far and wide. From the core Doomsday City, it is transmitted to thousands of human gathering places.

Even in remote border towns, you can hear his voice on the screen.

It's as if there are invisible chains clasping into people's hearts.

In the circle of players who were shocked, angry, and loudly insulting the gods, Su Mingan still watched this scene quietly. He didn't seem angry or sad.
