Chapter 1170 Chapter 7 "TE·Seal with Me ()"

Fortunately, Su Mingan did not die, but mutated, with a hint of darkness on his body. However, the dark aura on him always made the NPCs subconsciously alert.

After the double blow of being infected with the virus and Yueyue's sacrifice, Su Mingan in this world line became cautious and gloomy.

Due to the bonus of this dark aura, his hidden profession is no longer "Bai Shen", but a dark profession.

Su Ming'an in this timeline experienced the same thing as Su Ming'an himself: the United Group targeted him, Edward hunted him, humans didn't trust him, and adventurers wanted to challenge him. But the only difference was that... the dark aura on him made the NPCs who were supposed to be friendly start to fear him.

In the fifth world, when he wanted to join up with the Revolutionary Army, he found that two mortal enemies who hated the Holy Master were standing in the Revolutionary Army's tent waiting for him.

"I've heard you were nearby. We caught you, Saint Master." The two enemies smiled and said, "You have the aura of an evil dragon. You deserve to die."

Su Mingan stood at the door of the tent. At this moment, his blood almost froze.

…He gave the revolutionary army technology, helped them build barriers, and saved many people by bleeding.

As a result... they sold him to their enemies.

It’s just because the dark aura on him is the same as that of a dragon.

——How can the ignorant people understand that this is the inherent aura of the profession?
——They think that how can a person who is himself an evil dragon save the world that is about to fall into malice?

In the past, it was Shengqi who covered up the evil dragon aura on Qin Wang and concealed the truth with silence. But this dark aura came from Su Mingan's profession and could not be hidden. The regular army and the revolutionary army could not understand each other, and the truth could not be communicated, unless it was realized at that moment.

Su Mingan was speechless and had no way to explain.

"I am here to save you... to save you!!"

No one believed what a teenager said.

"Why is it just because of a breath... just because of a breath... I have done so much..."

He struggled violently, but a third enemy suddenly appeared, tightly grasped his wrist, and stabbed his shoulder with a sharp blade, causing him to be unable to move due to the pain.

——Why is there a third one…

The enemy squatted down with a smile, wiped the blood off his face, and said almost jokingly:
"...Why, you haven't seen three people before?"

These malicious words were firmly engraved in his heart, as if mocking his naivety.

The last bit of goodness in his heart was shattered.

He finally realized...some things are innate, which are a person's original sin. Maybe he shouldn't have saved so many people in the first world. If he hadn't saved so many people, he wouldn't have been infected with the zombie virus. If he hadn't been infected with the zombie virus, his body wouldn't have mutated, and there wouldn't have been this lingering dark aura...

He went to do good deeds that had nothing to do with him. In the end, no one thanked him, and those who were saved stared at him in horror.

He should have died then.

Perhaps he was already dead.

It’s just that death has continued to this day.

Then something extremely horrible happened.

These three people obviously hated the Saint Master, and it was unknown what kind of hatred Qin Wang had with them. But now it was Su Mingan's turn to bear the hatred of his predecessors.

"Look at this guy... only water can wash away your sins!"

"Our world has become like this because of you!"

"You've paid so much just to atone for your original sin, because it's all your fault!"

He wanted to say that it wasn't him, but all people with special abilities.

But those who are angry will not listen to the truth.

They pushed him into the water, and pulled him out when he was about to drown. Then they gradually cut his tendons in his hands and feet, and cut his flesh with a blade. With each cut, they laughed heartily. The blood dyed his clothes red, and even the carpet lost its color.

The severe pain made every second seem so long, and he kept praying... could someone come and save him, anyone...

Every second, every second, he repeated in his mind, He saved so many people... He did so many good things... Even if there is only one person who can benefit from it... Please save him.

The white tower in his heart was on the verge of collapse. He could only repeat his wish to redeem Zhai Xing over and over again, again and again. Because he was afraid that if he was not firm enough, he would be defeated by the endless pain and torture and start to be afraid to go on. Because such a thing... would definitely happen more than once in the future.

One has two.

At this time... even if it's just one person, what he has seen so far is mostly fear, dread, rejection and cold eyes, and overwhelming malice... At least now, please give him a little bit of kindness in return, so that he can hold on...

A little bit of kindness...is good.

but,

……

No.

……

Not all the time.

……

Until the blood was almost drained, no hands reached out to him.

……

On the hillside, the team of players who came to deliver props looked around but did not find Su Mingan.

“Hey…didn’t someone see the first player nearby? Where did he go?” The fat man in the team lowered his head regretfully.

"The mental recovery potion we carefully prepared cannot be delivered to him..." The girl pouted: "There are also various small gifts for him..."

"What a pity! Where did he go?"

They didn't know that in the forest next to them, just a few steps away... Su Mingan was inside and could even smell the smell of blood. The blood was seeping out of the tent, and every inch of it was shockingly bright.

The team shook their heads and left with regret.

Of course,

...The idealists who endured suffering could not wait for his light.

……

At the last moment, the three men realized the seriousness of the situation and spared his life.

After escaping, Su Mingan changed completely.

He was no longer silent or gloomy, and often had a playful smile on his face.

The audience discussed it for a long time and still had no idea why he had changed so much. In the end, they attributed it to his becoming more optimistic.

He seems to not care about anything, and even regards most things as fun. Whenever he encounters moral kidnapping, he directly says that he has no morals.

"I am free." He said with a smile on his face: "If you want to save me, I will. If you don't want to save me, don't force me to do it."

This attitude actually makes it easier for people to accept him - because saints are often rejected, and people easily think that saints are "unsociable", "hypocritical", and "unrealistic", but now such a flesh-and-blood image is more in line with human nature of selfishness and self-interest.

"I told you! This is what Player One is like!" They laughed and felt satisfied:

"That's good! Like a normal person."

"Finally he stopped pretending. He had been wearing the mask of kindness all along. Isn't that tiring? He saved so many NPCs before, but they all treated him coldly. It made me tired just watching them."

they do not know.

Su Mingan did not take off the mask, but... put on the mask.

A more "safe" mask.

The ideal in his heart will never waver. But he can no longer care about the others. He can no longer have feelings for those unimportant people. Because there will be no return, and it will easily drag him into the abyss.

He was already stepping into the mud.

Walking in the mud woven by human nature.

Malice pulled his neck and turned it into a silk thread. If he raised his head slightly to look at the light in the distance, the thread would tighten and he would feel suffocated and stinging.

He captured the three enemies.

But they were not tortured, they were simply killed.

If you want to be bad, you guys can be as bad as you want. Don't try to drag me down.

I do not care.

Apart from that final wish...I don't care about anything else.

He sat on the throne with a playful smile on his face, and no one could hear what he was thinking.

"I don't know what else to do."

"I really have tried my best."

……

Maybe evil people do thrive.

Later, he still suffered a lot of attacks because of the dark aura. For example, he was pressed into the river and his skin was cut, which was called "purification", dozens of nails pierced his body, which was called "judgment", and he was tied to a cross and burned by tens of thousands of people, which was called "witch". He watched his skin and flesh fester bit by bit...

There was hardly a clean spot on his body, not a single piece of good meat.

…But so what?

He smiled silently, still with a cynical smile on his face.

...He doesn't care.

Correct.

He doesn't care.

Anyway, after each copy, he would be treated and everything would be as good as new, as if he had never had any wounds.

In this way, he would think that he had never been hurt, and then continue to walk forward with a smile on his face...

To meet the next world and new evil from the people of this world.

Being excluded, being blamed, having broken bones, being burned... He looked at their ugly faces with a smile and teasing, and then gave them salvation without caring.

——I want to save you, what does it have to do with you? Do you think I care about you? No.

——My bones are broken only for my ideals, and my flesh and blood are burned only for my wishes.

In the seventh world, Noel still disappeared under the erosion of the sea monster. In the ninth world, facing Edward's difficulties, Su Mingan didn't care at all. Because he didn't let Yueyue go to the battlefield at all, there was no dead end on the third line.

After the Ninth World ended, the organizer had a secret chat with him and both sides smiled with satisfaction.

After that, he called himself——【Shadow】.

The heaviest, most terrifying and deepest "malice" caused him.

He says:
"This is the name that should be given to people who live in the shadows."

"If everyone lived in the light, it would be too tiring."

……

Su Mingan's eyes returned to darkness.

The universe is vast and the starry sky is rotating.

Two figures, one light and one shadow, walked forward step by step, following the stream of the long river of time.

Walk through the world of green mountains and green waters, walk through the magnificent blue and purple sky, walk through the burning heaven, walk through the broken city on the clouds, walk through the spring day when white birds fly.

——Until you reach the tenth world.

Their figures suddenly disappeared, as if they had collided head-on with Su Mingan himself.

Endless "possibilities" intertwined at this moment, as if billions of silk threads were piercing his body.

At this moment, Su Mingan saw countless futures that had never happened, not only his own, but also those of others.

He saw the white-haired tramp wandering between the bridge arches in a daze, with no light in his eyes.

He saw Yueyue turn the sword around and point the tip at himself.

He saw Su Luoluo laughing and jumping off a tall building in the heavy rain.

He saw Chao Yan being burned to death by flames on the cross.

He saw Xiao Jingsan covering his chest with blood flowing out of his heart.

——That is the "truth" that has not yet happened, and it is also the "falsehood" that has been abandoned by the timeline.

Then he saw Noel.

A young man with flowing blond hair walked on the covered bridge of the Floating City of White Sun. A white bird perched on his shoulder. He tilted his head slightly, and the white feathers rubbed his face softly.

The red noble robe was slightly lifted up, like a butterfly dancing in the wind, the blue rose cane in her hand was coated with the color of sunshine, and the high heels made the sound of jade knocking.

The blond boy walked towards him like this.

——This is the first meeting between Player One and Player Two.

Behind it are the blue sky, the blue sea and the long river.

The boy has an elegant posture.

The blue line of cause and effect overlapped between them - Noor Akinni walked towards him.

He saw countless "futures" for Noor Akinni.

Even though he is a genius who is almost a demon, Noel has not had a smooth journey.

Noel is dead.

In many, many "futures" - Noel is dead.

He might have died from the attack of Minghui Shengqi, the human wave tactics of Baisha Paradise, or the Linguang nuclear explosion of the ruins world. The number of deaths was so many - Su Mingan saw thousands of Noel's corpses, piled up around him.

Noel died, but did not return to the main god's world. Instead, he heard a voice in the distant starry sky.

——【Come to me. Noel Akinni】.

——[Embrace the higher dimension and become the freest adventurer].

Noel smiled, not panicking, and asked back - [Who are you? ]

The voice answered—

【I am you. 】

[I am you - the union of all "futures" (mathematical meaning). ]

[In the observation of billions of world lines, all the "you" who died halfway overlap and become me. ]

[I am Gaowei. To be exact... I am the original "you".]

Noel laughed - [You mean... the world line I'm in doesn't actually exist? ]

That voice also laughed——【No, in fact it will exist, but when it finally "converges" to reality, countless split lines will converge to one point——that is the essence of my existence. I am the union of your success and failure (mathematical meaning)】

Noel said - [In other words, there is only one real world line, and the rest of the world lines are just fill-ins at the final conclusion? They exist, and they don't exist. ]

That voice said——【That’s right.】

Noel said - [Can I know which world line is the real one? ]

The voice smiled and said, "It's the one I'm observing. Noel, come back and I will "converge" you. When you return to me, you will see that world line. It has already happened in the tenth world."

Noel said——[Is the Noel in that world line the real me? 】

The voice said - [Yes. That is the real, absolute existence. Noel Ajinni is unique. Su Mingan is also unique. They are all real. As for your split world lines, they will eventually converge. Your world lines have not really happened and are still in Schrödinger's state. They just gather into me. ]

[I am Noel, but also not Noel. I am the imprint of your countless "futures". I am a certain you who chooses to upgrade, and I am also countless you who died halfway through your destiny.]

Noel said——[What is the meaning of these empty world lines? 】

The voice laughed loudly——【“Nothingness” itself has no meaning, it just exists. But “existence” itself is the meaning. I’m sorry I can’t say more, we will all know when the world game progresses further.】

Noel said——【Are there many people like you?】

The voice said - [No more. You are very special, Noel. Only you have the strong desire to ascend to a higher dimension, which has created my "possibility". ]

"Noel" didn't quite understand, but he didn't say much, just asked one last question - [What's your name? ]

The voice replied: [You can call me Xiao A. This nickname comes from your name. As for what others call me...]

He finally revealed the meaning of His name.

……

[——I am the overlapping figure of countless "you". So, others call me——]

……

【——"Overlap, shadow."】
