First Player

Chapter 91 Chapter Ninety·BE5·Sleep

Looking at the line of words on the message interface, Su Mingan took a breath.

He reluctantly smiled at Shen Xue: "I'm not looking at anything."

Shen Xue tilted her head, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing across her eyes, but it soon returned to silence.

"Don't you want to have lunch?" She took out a plastic bag from her pocket: "I brought you the red bean bread you like."

"No, forget the bread."

"Hmm... Okay." Shen Xue slowly withdrew her gaze, as if nothing had happened, and went out with the bread in her mouth.

Su Mingan put his hands on the table and his eyes wandered a little.

...if he guessed correctly.

After falling asleep in his afternoon physics class, he experienced a death that he was unaware of.

Then, he returned to the time point before falling asleep.

...It is too amazing to be able to kill oneself without alerting anyone, or even let oneself fall asleep directly until death without alerting anyone at all.

What was it that kept me from waking up on the way? Is it drugged or something else?

He sat at the table and thought, but his thoughts inexplicably became slower and slower. He suddenly felt something was wrong with his sleepiness, and wanted to stand up, but his body seemed to be trapped and unable to move.

The moment the bell rang in the afternoon, he felt a wave of sleepiness that almost swallowed him up.

...No, it seems that at this point in time, I have already been hit. Even if I return to death, I am still in the state of being hit.

He has long discovered the limitations of his passive archive. Even if he can go back, he may still go back to a point in time where the ending cannot be changed... That's the case now.

Su Mingan repeatedly thought about the people she had come into contact with, including the suspicious Shen Xue. The only thing she could think of was the scent of roses, but that smell was too common and could be smelled in many places...

He felt as if his thoughts were blocked, and his originally smooth reasoning seemed to be rusty, making it gradually difficult to proceed.

Before falling into unconsciousness, he rolled his neck and tilted his head hesitantly.

——He saw the extremely twisted smile from the girl at the same table, which was still rising on the face, bit by bit, ignited like a flame, and finally connected into one piece, almost crying with joy.

The surrounding vision became dim.

There seemed to be a faint whisper ringing in my ears.

【...You will eventually belong to me...】

He lost consciousness in the darkness that almost swallowed him up.

…

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

Another death rollback.

"Bang!"

His first moment was to stand up suddenly, put his hands on the table, bowed his body, and gasped for air like a drowning man.

The movement was so extreme that he almost knocked over the tables and chairs. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at the clock in front of him with a somewhat frozen gaze.

——The hour hand points to the top, twelve o'clock at noon.

…

The bright afternoon sun shines in through the wide open windows, illuminating the entire classroom. The tiny floating dust in the air dances in the golden light, as peaceful and beautiful as fireflies during the day.

Su Mingan breathed in the fresh air of the day almost greedily, bending his hands unconsciously and grabbing the cold tabletop.

Suddenly, he smelled the scent of roses coming from behind.

"……What are you doing?"

The girl's murmur came from behind.

Su Mingan turned around suddenly and saw a plastic-wrapped bread in her hand.

"I brought the red bean bread that you like." Shen Xue smiled and said, "Don't you want to try it?"

As if she didn't see Su Ming'an's expression of resistance, she opened the plastic bag on her own initiative, then, holding a piece of bread and bringing it to him, she coaxed softly: "Come on, open your mouth, ah -"

There was a "pop" sound.

The plastic-covered bag fell to the ground, and Shen Xue's eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief... and a hint of hidden cold light.

Su Mingan took back the hand that knocked away the meal bag, and the next moment, he rushed towards the door with quick steps.

When he wanted to desperately escape from the girl behind him, he saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a cold smile.

"Classmate Su Jian." Chinese language teacher Teacher Shen smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were tangled together, and a pair of thick-knuckled hands stretched out: "You didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch at noon. Did you specifically set aside time to talk to the teacher? Now, Let’s go to the office on the second floor to chat and revise the composition, shall we?”

"Uh-huh!" Su Ming'an suddenly cut Teacher Shen's body in front of him in two. He stepped over the body and rushed out——

"Bang!"

He didn't hear the kill prompt from the system. Instead, his back ankle was grabbed by something.

A feeling of coldness spread instantly.

The next moment, the vision changes up and down.

- Teacher Shen grabbed his ankle with one hand and threw him back from the sky.

His body was hit hard on the ground, and he choked out a mouthful of blood. The next moment, the arm of Teacher Shen, who had only the upper body left, appeared with a long bone tip, like a sharp blade, and stabbed him!

"Dad! Don't-!"

Shen Xue screamed on the side, and the next moment, the bone tip penetrated down!

Blood spurted out instantly.

Su Mingan grasped the frame with both hands, but her strength completely disappeared the moment her chest was pierced.

It was like being immersed in a ball of hot water for a moment, and a sharp pain suddenly emerged. His hand scratched unconsciously on the ground and caught a piece of warm, sticky blood.

In the gradually blurred eyes, the sunlight was particularly dazzling.

In the center of his gradually reddening vision, he saw the golden afternoon sun.

Brilliant.

Teacher Shen pulled his lower body and pieced it together like a suture. He gradually stood up while holding his lower body, his figure momentarily blocking the light that came over him.

"Dad, you said you wouldn't kill him, you said you wouldn't..." Shen Xue's scream was extremely sad.

Su Mingan opened her eyes, and the voice in her ears faded away.

"Xuexue, he has seen through us...if we don't kill him, he might..."

The voice gradually became indistinct.

Before falling into darkness, what he saw with his eyes open was a girl crying on his body with tears streaming down her face, her body stained with her own blood. Her tears slid down her cheeks like pearls, shining brightly.

"But... I have worked hard to stay in this hellish place for twelve years. It's just for him. I just... just..."

Shen Xue's cry was very clear in her ears. She pressed it to her ears, and the intoxicating rose fragrance came over little by little.

【Su Mingan...】

He heard Shen Xue, who was supposed to be an NPC, actually call him by his real name.

[...Don't go, at least...you know who I am, open your eyes and look at me again...ok...]

Her frozen and dull eyes, which were fixed in the glass beads, were exceptionally clear and pure at this time.

It was as if the condensed emotions suddenly exploded, freezing all her words into the dripping water in her eyes.

[Su Mingan, Su Mingan! I am Shen Xue, I am Shen Xue, do you still remember me? Before the game started, I liked you so much... At least, at least it gave me the qualifications to keep you by my side...]

The scent of roses gradually faded.

Su Mingan closed his eyes in the deep darkness.

…

The clock in the classroom points to twelve o'clock.

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

There was a lot of information about this death. He knew that Shen Xue, like Shen Yue, was also a player in the past.

Also, she said she liked herself before the game started.

...an old friend.

He had a guess in his mind, but a doubt gradually arose.

She said one word, "Twelve years."

Shen Xue said that she had been here for twelve years...but the World Game had clearly only started for a month.

Is it because the time flows of the two worlds are different, or is there some other reason?

He stood up, staggering a bit at the moment when he stood up straight. When he was bathed in the golden afternoon sun, he saw the girl walking slowly with a piece of bread in her arms.

The afternoon light shone on her smooth black hair, surrounding it with a soft golden rim. The moment she raised her eyes and looked at her, an indescribable emotion filled Su Ming'an's heart.

"Classmate Su Jian?" Shen Xue slowly raised her head with a smile on her face: "Why did you come out? I thought you didn't want to go to the cafeteria. I brought you the red bean bread you like...why don't you try it? ?”

She handed over the plastic bag in her arms. The bread looked soft and fluffy in the light.

Su Mingan stretched out his hand, raising it very high.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Shen Xue's eyes, but she still stood there, looking at him innocently.

Su Mingan's hand finally fell gently...until it landed on Shen Xue's head.

A trace of confusion flashed in Shen Xue's eyes, and then she asked a question from her throat as if she was a little shocked.

"Um……?"

"Shen Xue." Su Mingan sighed slightly: "...it seems that I heard such a name not long ago."

Shen Xue's eyes widened slightly.

"Really?" There was obvious surprise in her voice, and her fingers clenched involuntarily.

"Although some time has passed, I feel like it was still yesterday..." Su Mingan looked at her seriously: "Some things cannot be forgotten, including those old friends..."

"Then, how does she compare with me?" Shen Xue said almost urgently, not caring that the question was too straightforward, and even stood on tiptoe unconsciously.

"You and her are equally cute." Su Mingan said in a gentle tone: "However, you standing in front of me now seem more vivid and real."

Shen Xue's figure froze, and an uncontrollable joy leaked from her eyes.

Su Mingan retracted his hand and passed her.

...This time, he didn't smell the rich and overwhelming rose fragrance on her body.

There is only a faint, light rose fragrance.

He didn't stop and walked all the way downstairs, holding on to the wall to steady himself.

The tenderness that was given to Shen Xue in the eyes was gone, and it returned to innocence and plainness.

... He already knew what kind of person this "Shen Xue" who was targeting him used to be.

She is someone he knows in real life, a high school classmate. However, now he has become an NPC waiting for him in the game.

If she only came here for the love in her heart, saying such words should be able to stabilize her... at least for the time being, she can get through the current crisis.

He leaned in the sunshine for a while, not feeling the powerlessness spreading from all around his body.

……very good.

It seems that the endless cycle of death crisis has been temporarily overcome.

He hid the cold light in his eyes and followed the flow of students back to class, all the way back to the classroom, where he sat next to Shen Xue, who was blushing, and started the afternoon class.
