Chapter 1207: One Thousand Two Hundred and Four: "Lü Shu is the organizer."

"Dieying, you actually sneaked into the organizer?" Su Mingan was a little surprised.

"The owner of the second seat cannot come, so I am temporarily standing in this position. I am a non-staff member." Dieying removed the thick fog on his body, revealing a white robe. His braids had been loosened, and his long golden hair flowed down his shoulders and neck.

…It turns out that Die Ying was just a marginal figure who came to take a seat. His real body was still in the universe, so he was not the organizer in essence. It was only because the second seat’s real body did not come that he took over the seat.

"Aren't you organizers trapped in the world game? Where can the second seat go?" Su Ming'an talked to Dieying familiarly. There were obviously twelve powerful lives in front of him, but he talked to Dieying as if no one was around.

"Trapped in the world game? Where did you get this information?" Die Ying didn't confirm or deny: "The second seat didn't come. It's possible that he couldn't leave. It's also possible that he is... someone you know, so he doesn't want to come. He's afraid that you will see through him after a few words."

"Someone I know?" Su Ming'an was amused. Who around him could be the organizer? Su Lin was the organizer? Lu Shu was the organizer? Could it be the people from the Peak Alliance?
This was most likely just another of Dieying's nonsense. He always liked to say something that seemed to be true but was not, and then observe his confused expression for fun.

At this time, the third "island" began to move. After Boss Rabbit and Shadow, the third life lifted the fog and revealed its true appearance.

It was a figure made up of seven colors, with a pair of curved devil horns on its head. Its arrogant facial features seemed to be painted with thick oil paint, and its eyebrows and eyes were exaggeratedly raised, like a vivid clown mask, and its body was like flowing paint.

Su Mingan stopped talking to Dieying. The third seat suddenly made a "click" sound, like a rusty music box, and suddenly twisted its neck and showed Su Mingan a crazy laugh.

"——Oliviers, we meet! We meet again!!"

Loud laughter from both men and women rang out, and strong positive emotions came over him. Su Mingan could even smell the happiness overflowing in the wave of emotions.

Su Ming'an was stunned for a moment. The clown face instantly moved closer, and then suddenly stopped when it was half an inch away from him.

“…Oliviers.” The clown’s smile faded slightly, as if a dark cloud was covering him: “Why don’t you speak…Have you forgotten me?”

"Fun Demon Casadia?" Su Mingan easily guessed the other party's identity.

After hearing the answer, the Devil of Fun quickly smiled again, as if the hidden danger had never emerged. He almost wanted to give Su Mingan a big hug, but was stopped by Dieying.

Starlight streamed between them, and both of them stopped at the same time.

"(He is not Olivers, he is Su Mingan, don't you have eyes?)" The dialogue message from the overlapping images arrived instantly, and it was extremely aggressive.

"(Negative. He equipped my skirt, so he is my contractor. Even though he has never praised Oliver for eternity, I still think he is interesting.)" Cassadia's smile remained unchanged, his ideas were extremely solid, and his verbal barriers could not be broken by the shadow: "(This is my way of pursuing positive emotions - you have no right to stop it. You have no position, you are not his friend, nor his ally, and there is no point in opposing you. Therefore, I reject your proposal, Baa Xiao.)"

"(Although Su Ming'an is not my ally, he is my only true friend. As long as he is willing to walk with me in the future, one day, he and I can create a new world.)" Die Ying also built a verbal barrier. The argument between them was incredibly fast, taking only a second.

Su Mingan suddenly understood - the coldness within them.

These high-dimensional beings seem to be free and casual, but in reality they are completely profit-oriented and greedy. Apart from their ideals and fellow human beings, they don't care about anything else - this is the absolute thinking logic of the high-dimensional beings.

In Dieying's eyes, Su Mingan takes both "ideals" and "compatriots" into account, so He spoke out to prevent Su Mingan from leaning towards the Casadia camp. As for Casadia, Su Mingan only has a beneficial role - for Him to pursue positive emotions, so He made teasing remarks. What drives Him is not pure sensibility, but rationality that has reached the extreme of sensibility.

The logic of human behavior must not be applied to them. If you think they are easy to talk to because of their gentle and kind attitude, you are totally wrong - even if it is the seemingly easy-to-bully rag-and-bone King Dieying, these funny terms are just nicknames given to him by Su Mingan. In fact, he invades a civilization at will, and the death of seven billion people is no different from sand in his eyes. His life essence and way of thinking are not human at all.

Su Mingan looked around. Apart from these three, the fourth "isolated island" to the twelfth "isolated island" remained covered by thick fog.

Seeing this, Dieying looked up.

"(You all won't reveal your faces? Or are you afraid to see people because of your ugly appearance?)" Dieying started talking in an aggressive tone.

The surrounding fog fluctuated, but no one cleared it.

A cold voice sounded under the sea of ​​stars.

"(Rejected. Lack of necessity.)" A mechanical voice came from the sixth "isolated island".

“(I second the motion. We are still unsure of what is behind this player, nor are we sure whether his nature is superior to ours. Therefore, we have decided to meet him in a conservative manner. In addition, I am not familiar with the Star Wanderer, so I don’t need to change my mind because of your provocation.)” A childish voice came from the seventh “isolated island”.

“(Stop arguing. I’m asking, has it been confirmed that he holds the authority?)” A hoarse voice came from the eighth “isolated island”.

"(Rejected. The probability is less than 100%. With the highest human wisdom, it is still reproducible, and it cannot necessarily be concluded that the player has the authority. But according to the situation of the Dawn Code of the Ninth World, it is either Noel or Su Mingan. Since Noel has been ruled out, it can be concluded that Su Mingan has a high probability of having the authority.)" said the mechanical life.

"(But he never admitted it.)" A female voice came from the twelfth seat.

"(Once admitted, [the rules] are absolute and cheating will come at a price. Therefore, of course he won't admit it.)" said the hoarse voice.

"(Can we explore the source of authority?)" said the mechanical voice.

"(unknown.)"

"(Has his origin been determined?)"

"(The player's memories can only be viewed through the world game. From the memories, he was born into a humble family and is just an ordinary human.)"

"(Humph... We are nothing but trapped beasts in the World Game. Perhaps, this seemingly insignificant human is the one who controls us. Perhaps, the World Game belonged to him from the beginning, but he erased his memory for some purpose or wish.)"

“(Your speculation makes sense, but I don’t think it will work.)”

"(I can also list hundreds of absurd conjectures in an instant, such as he is actually a machine, he is your creator, or he is just an ordinary person. But we need actual evidence, not impurities floating in our minds.)"

"('Thought impurities' is the name for the brain waves of living things, but it is not universal for mechanical life.)"

"(...I didn't talk to you, you piece of shit.)"

Su Mingan watched these life exchanges coldly.

These people thought he couldn't understand and kept talking in encrypted form, but in fact he heard every word clearly.

"Ahem! Everyone, be quiet! Rabbit wants to speak!" Boss Rabbit coughed. The scene suddenly became quiet.

It seems that Boss Rabbit is the one with the highest authority among them.

At this time, Boss Rabbit turned and looked at Su Mingan with a friendly look.

"My dear first player, I still remember what you said - [I have something you particularly want, we can cooperate]." Boss Rabbit stared at Su Mingan with his blood-red eyes: "I want to confirm... the thing you said... refers to your authority...?"

The moment twelve eyes converged on Su Mingan, he truly experienced what it meant to "feel like a thorn in the back".

Dieying's gaze was the most soothing, yet with a barely perceptible coldness, as if he was also tasting Su Mingan's expression.

Boss Rabbit's look was the most playful, but it seemed like superficial playfulness.

The eyes of the Devil of Fun were extremely erratic, as if He didn't care about Su Mingan's answer at all, He only cared about Su Mingan himself. Or maybe, no matter what answer Su Mingan gave, He thought it was very funny.

The fourth, fifth, and twelve other eyes had different emotions. But Su Mingan did not look at anyone, his eyes stayed on the empty space.

Then he opened his lips and said:

"—you long for me."

Su Mingan used affirmative sentences.

He could not sense their hostility, but only their greed and desire. To these beings, his authority was as tempting as gold.

"At the beginning of the game, I thought you had been targeting me because you hated me, feared me, and wanted to get rid of me." His eyes were fearless, and his posture was not like a human facing a higher-dimensional being. Instead, he was like a chess player on a chessboard looking down at the twelve chess pieces.

"But then I suddenly realized - if you really hated me, why did you give me the highest status of a ruler after the end of the Third World? Why did Boss Rabbit favor me again and again, calling me 'dear No. 1 Player', treating me differently, even coming whenever he called? The big glass room at the auction, the personal passage for the No. 1 Player, the intimate words used... was that really a ploy to separate me from the others? Is there even a slight possibility of... 'winning me over'?"

Boss Rabbit narrowed his eyes.

The overlapping image showed an interested expression.

The Fun Demon floated on the platform, staring at Su Mingan without blinking.

The other eyes were different, revealing greed and danger, as if they were predators eyeing delicious food.

At this moment, Su Mingan felt that he was back in the aquarium again.

Sharks, poisonous jellyfish, piranhas... these dangerous creatures were lurking in the glass of the aquarium. He stood outside the glass, staring at them through the glass that was about to break.

If his words were wrong, if the decibels were a little louder—the glass would shatter, and these dangerous creatures would devour him in an instant.

To them, he is an ally who can be won over, a dangerous person who may be superior to them, a holder of authority with a mysterious background, a feast for the eyes... but definitely not the player himself.

He and them were already on an equal footing, talking to each other. If he died, they would gain nothing—his life was what they feared most.

It flashed by at his fingertips, and although it was a sharp weapon against his own body - it was like a sharp knife against their necks.

"...Are you scared?" He smiled.

At this moment, they seemed to be horrified by his action - suicide.

Whether he replayed his memories after committing suicide or his authority was not a death replay, his authority disappeared after committing suicide, which was not what they wanted to see.

Even Boss Rabbit couldn't tell whether Su Ming'an was just playing an empty city trick, because in fact he had no power at all.

them,

Afraid of him.

——Obviously they are “Him”,
——Obviously he is “he”.

……

The first player took the chess player's seat.

Opposite him were twelve players.

……

"Click."

There was a sound as if chess pieces were falling onto a chessboard.

"...So, no matter how many times you ask me whether I have the authority or not, my answer will always be the same..." Su Mingan retracted his annihilation, spread his hands indifferently, and said with a smile:

"【I don't】."

“This is my eternal answer.”

"If you don't believe me, come and give it a try. Oh, I almost forgot... you can't attack players. The identity of a player may seem like a constraint, but it is also my greatest protection."

"Our [Utopia] is the rules themselves. It builds an absolute barrier for us to isolate ourselves from high-dimensional harm."

"So, stop making these useless attempts. Boss Rabbit, even if you get a positive answer, what can you do?"

"Why don't we talk about something practical, high-dimensional people?"

"Click."

It seemed like the sound of a chess piece falling.

The Boss Rabbit smiled, and actually looked a little sweaty, as if he had not expected to be pushed to this point by a human being.

"What do you want to talk about? Player One, my dear?"

Su Mingan narrowed his eyes.

"Click."

He seemed to be leaning on a chair next to the chessboard, overlooking the rows of chess pieces with a cold smile.

"——Let's sign the bet."

He smiled and said:
"Under the witness of the world game [rules]."

"Make a bet with me - a normal, tiny, insignificant 19-year-old human. Great higher dimensions."
