First Player

Chapter 7 · “Her Emotional Radio.”

Under the lightning and thunder, the city-state suddenly turned white.

Heavy rain fell on people's shoulders, and the voice of the gods spread to every corner of the world.

People raised their hands with hope to express their support for the city lord on the screen.

"That's the City Lord! That's the City Lord on the screen!" The white-haired old man said with emotion.

"Lord City Lord, you must kill the intruder!" The angry young man raised the sickle in his hand.

"That human traitor, is his name Su Mingan? Kill Su Mingan! Kill Su Mingan!" The child shouted with the help of his mother, his voice lingering.

They thought that by raising their hands, they were holding up the torches of human unity.

No one knows whose soul they are burning.

Even if there are smart people who guess that there may be something wrong with the city lord himself, there is no contact signal and their voices cannot be heard at all.

In the whole world, the voice of resistance cannot be put on the stage, so the only voice left is surrender. Many people don't understand the political situation in Doomsday City at all, and can't imagine that an impostor will board the official hall.

They believed the call of the city lord on the screen.

Truck drivers carrying resources, soldiers stationed at border towns, businessmen doing business, travelers walking along the road, adventurers exploring ruins...

East, south, west, north...

River embankments, mountains, forests, fields, farmland...

City-state, gathering place, town, village...

A whole world.

The voices of believers are not loud, but together they are enough to form a conflagration.

Players can hear voices coming from all directions of the residential building, denounced as "traitors of humanity" to those who resisted. These voices are like thick cumulonimbus clouds, surrounding them dullly, making them breathless.

"Are these people crazy? Can you believe this statement!" Violet frowned, and the surrounding sounds filled her ears.

"Absurd..." Hicks shook his head repeatedly.

Yamada Machichi looked worriedly at Su Ming'an at the front, and he suddenly had a feeling——

It was as if invisible chains were wrapped around him. As long as he struggled, they would become tighter and tighter, binding him like a sacrifice.

If people want to get rid of misfortune, they need to recognize their own misfortune. However, most people don't even know that they are in misfortune, and even actively associate with misfortune.

The more we look at opposites in this single and stubborn way, the more we seek our own roots in the same attitude. Oppose "everything" you don't believe, and affirm "everything" you believe in. Until the gods, who are good at playing with people's hearts, are completely divided into small isolated groups that cannot be connected.

Su Mingan turned to them sideways, revealing half of his face, looking a little out of reach. Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What's the point of the gods doing this? Is it just to destroy our mentality?" Yamada Machichi couldn't help but said as he looked at Su Ming'an in the rain.

"...To plunder faith." Noel rubbed his chin for a moment and said something that made everyone suddenly realize.

People looked at each other, and they could see the shock and panic in each other's eyes.

"You mean - gods are also using the three major elements of becoming gods [faith, energy, and authority]? But this is not the eighth world! How can it be related to these?" said a female player next to her.

"The world of ruins is a science fiction world, yes." Noel said, "But the world where the gods live is different."

He thought of the blood-red magic marks in the eyes of the [Tavi] invaders... those were clearly traces of the magical side of the world. This tip was planted early in the morning.

If [faith, energy, authority] are common in all worlds...

"Su Mingan can rely on world live broadcasts to accumulate emotional points to increase his strength. Gods may have similar methods." Noel said slowly: "This can also explain why gods call themselves 'gods'. Maybe part of his source of power comes from Belief."

The scarlet eyes in the sky seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, as if they were being nourished.

On the screen, God’s voice continued:

"——People, please raise your heads and look at the sky! I believe you can see a pair of eyes."

"——I ask you to look at it piously, it will help us stabilize the current turbulent city-state!"

As soon as these words came out, many people noticed something was wrong - there seemed to be something wrong with this city lord. But their opposition is too small to affect the overall situation.

Countless people raised their heads, and at the moment they looked into the scarlet eyes in the sky, they heard a strange whisper, which was the voice of his bewitchment.

"Can't watch! Can't watch!" There was confusion among the players: "It's broken, our voices can't be heard."

"There's definitely something wrong with that eye. It's a way to confuse humans. It seems to have just appeared tonight. The gods must have killed it just for this."

"The fact that the gods could not wait until this moment to start the world live broadcast shows that the two-dimensional world is indeed about to be unable to hold on any longer. This is because they want to defeat the firewall in one go, leaving us with no time to respond."

In the nearby building, the residents have begun to panic. They have long felt that something is wrong with this group of resisters. Now the city lord says that the leader Su Mingan is a human traitor. How can they not believe it.

Someone stood on the balcony and threw eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into the crowd. Su Mingan did not dodge, but other players used their skills to stop the filthy things before they even touched him. This group of players, numbering around 300, was actually more angry than Su Mingan himself. They took part in this situation.

"Are you fools! Su Mingan is your real city lord! Are you all blind?!" Qiuqiu yelled at the residential building.

Her questioning seemed to light a fuse, and more and more people began to throw garbage at them, asking them to get out of the city.

"Why do these people attack the people who saved them? Su Mingan saved them!" Ruiying was also infected with anger.

At this moment, a faint voice came from the group of players, and it was unknown who was speaking:

"...Don't our viewers treat Su Ming'an the same way? So many of those viewers scolded him, thinking he had ulterior motives, and some even wanted him to die."

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent.

It turns out that any world is the same.

It turns out that Su Mingan is also a kind of "Asa Akto".

Or--

It turns out that Asa Akto is also a kind of "Su Ming'an".

Suddenly, many live broadcast rooms were quiet.

"——No! No! Su Mingan is not a traitor to humanity, he is the one who has led you in the past forty years! People, please believe in him!"

In the silence, there was only a clear girl's voice, repeating it persistently.

Her black hair had already been soaked through, but her eyes remained extremely determined. In the pouring rain, she shouted over and over again until her throat was almost hoarse.

But her voice was so small... it was drowned in the heavy rain and could not reach very far, let alone those countless distant human gathering places. How can her struggle and clarification be worth the ignorance and fear of hundreds of millions of people? How can we change their mentality?

"Okay, Xi. People can't listen when they are extremely excited." Su Mingan finally spoke and asked her to be quiet.

Xi opened her mouth, then closed it with tears on her face.

Some people poked their heads around to see Su Ming'an's expression clearly, but they suddenly discovered——

Facing people's angry rebuke, Su Mingan actually smiled.

In the midst of the heavy rain, and in the midst of the increasingly fierce curses, he actually smiled.

It's like smiling at the people of the whole world, declaring war against despair, or smiling disdainfully at the high god in the sky. He smiled very reservedly and unassumingly, but people could see the determination in his eyes, just like the moonlight appearing in the sky.

The live broadcast screen changed, and God pointed the camera at Su Ming'an, as if he wanted to magnify Su Ming'an's embarrassment standing in the rain.

Seeing his face on the screen, Su Mingan's smile continued.

"Why are you laughing?" God said coldly.

"..."

Su Mingan raised his arms as if to use silent strength.

He stretched out his index finger and pointed it at the god above the building.

Su Mingan's team has approached the core area of ​​the city-state - under the billowing sky, the Central Government Building is like a bright silver sharp point that goes straight into the sky, like a sharp sword that stands tall against the sky and the earth.

Su Mingan also saw the ferocious blood-red creature Hicks said - it looked like a bright red mantis, with butterfly wings on its back. It had five pairs of sharp blades protecting the building, and the god was standing in the building. The highest rooftop is protected by it.

The faith of people around the world is gathering, and this blood-red monster is expanding and getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

…

"Ding dong!"

Everyone heard the system prompt.

[Do you want to choose to enable boss battle mode? 】

[Current boss: He protects the defenders. Combat strength: 4500+]

[Our lineup: Su Mingan, Noel, Yamada Machichi, Violet... a total of 338 players, 102

[Comprehensive combat power evaluation: 4000]

[Winning rate prediction: 39.2%]

…

People looked at each other and handed over the decision-making power to Su Ming'an.

At this time, on top of the world, this is the stage where he confronts the gods. Only the two of them have the right to compete on this platform.

"God, I admit that you are very smart." Su Mingan pointed at God.

But through this camera angle, it looks like he is pointing at the foreheads of hundreds of millions of people watching from outside the camera as if he were alone.

"Whether it's the interlocking strategies, the intrusive means of intrusion, or the final decisive blow with a thunderous strike, they all amazed me." Su Ming'an said:

"But it is precisely because you are so calculating that you included every key person in your chess game, and arranged the appropriate position, appropriate path of action, and even appropriate death ending for them... but you did not expect that , there will be an inconspicuous little character jumping out of your chessboard."

"So, I'm laughing at you - you look down on ordinary people in your eyes."

The god's expression changed slightly.

...What ordinary people?

... In this massive war, how can ordinary people have a foothold? Caiusta simulated it so many times and no one unexpected appeared...

"Click——"

He suddenly heard a piercing sound, and then another person's voice came from the live broadcast - another person besides him still had the signal.

The method used by the gods to interrupt everyone's signals is to use the shielding effect between dimensions. Human action fluctuations are different between different dimensions - this is the basis for the formation of the Dawn Code. It is generated based on the different "action fluctuations" of key figures, so the code will have differences in time, just like there is no Like "Schrödinger's Cat" when the lid is lifted.

To put it simply, it means to temporarily block the "action fluctuations" of everyone in one dimension, and only allow the "action fluctuations" of another dimension to enter and exit in one direction. In this way, no matter what tactics "Team Mu", "Su Xiaobi" and others use, they will not be able to interrupt this shielding in a short time.

There is only one weakness in this method - gods can only block the movement fluctuations of [two-dimensional] human contact signals, but cannot block the movement fluctuations of [one-dimensional] people.

That is to say...

People from the [One-Dimensional] Measurement City who happen to be standing next to the signal tower right now, and people with personal authorization from Akto, can join the live broadcast at this time.

But the god thinks that there will be no one who meets these three conditions at the same time. He has already calculated to the extreme.

But it just so happens...

There really is such a person.

There really is a person who accidentally joined Caiusta midway.

And she's literally right next to the cell tower now.

The once humble mud in the fringe area suddenly stood on top of the world.

…

On the screen, the corners of Su Mingan's mouth curled up.

"...Have you reached this point?" The god's whisper poured into Su Ming'an's ears, and he said to Su Ming'an alone: ​​"Are you Su Ming'an or Akto?"

Su Mingan just stood in the rain, staring back at the dark sky.

"...I did underestimate you. But it's not over yet." God said again.

Su Mingan ignored the god. He raised his head and seemed to be looking at someone outside the screen through the screen:

"Start your emotional radio broadcast to the world. Send your voice out."

His eyes were burning, piercing the cold rain for a moment.

Like the silent moonlight, thousands of words could all be returned to him with this congratulation:

"Congratulations, your dream has come true."
