first player

Chapter 1209: One Thousand Two Hundred and Six "He was mourning himself, but he was smiling."

The discussion on the details lasted for a long time.

"(Now that the bet has been concluded, let's discuss how to 'take him away' in the end if he loses.)" said the child.

"(Of course, become my ally and walk with me in the new world.)" Dieying was the first to grab the topic, afraid that he would miss out on the hot topic.

"(Junk King, you are just an extra staff member, this kind of thing has nothing to do with you.)" The Fun Devil laughed: "(Besides, didn't you yell something like 'Don't be afraid, I will reach the other side!' Seeing your fearless look, why do you need companions? You can definitely do it, come on, Xiao A!)"

"(He should belong to me.)" The Ninth Seat spoke for the first time, and it was a distorted voice that made people feel uncomfortable: "(I am in charge of death, and he is the most suitable for me.)"

"(Negative. If I give it to you, he will become a disposable consumable. What we need is a companion, not a prop.)" said the soft female voice.

"(You should all know that no one can convince anyone else.)" The mechanical voice said: "(In that case, why not try to cut him into twelve slices and give one to each person. The overlapping images are made up of countless slices, and He should have mastered the technology of slicing.)"

"(Ah, the great traveler in the sea of ​​stars!)" The Fun Devil immediately looked at Die Ying: "(You are a great being who picks up the remains of civilization! The most free and romantic adventurer! The watcher stationed on the sea of ​​stars! Can you provide us with slicing technology?)"

"(……)"

Su Mingan listened quietly.

He could hear their thoughts, their greed, their desires.

Behind their seemingly humane communication, there is a desire for profit and an absolutely cold orientation, and their words are mixed with extreme indifference towards civilization and humanity.

Of course he's afraid, but his fear of self-destruction doesn't carry as much weight as his fear of "everyone dying because the game failed."

In fact, he also realized that he had been calm when he made this decision - deep down in his heart, he did not have much resistance to this self-destructive gamble.

It was like he really didn't care where he would fall to his death. It wasn't that he didn't want to live, but in comparison, he really thought that he was unimportant.

If you can survive, that's great. If you can't survive, then it will become the cornerstone of your ideal.

The joy of realizing his ideal of redeeming his homeland was far greater than the sadness of losing "himself". No matter how great his self-sorrow was, it was overwhelmed by the huge joy. He could even feel his own excited heartbeat - like a "funeral song" being sung joyfully.

He mourned himself, but with a smile.

Even though his eyes were red, it was not because of his sadness, but because he was crying with joy...

Correct.

There's nothing to be sad about.

He was already... happy.

He stared into the void, the sound of Gao Wei's discussion constantly passing by his ears.

They held bloody knives and forks in their hands and divided the delicacies on the table.

……

"(Then, after cutting him up, give the biggest portion to the rabbit.)"

"(It's such a waste to split it up like this. Can't the authority be taken away by splitting it up? Do we have to break it into pieces?)" said the childish voice.

"(I don't agree with slicing. It's better to keep a compatriot.)" said the soft female voice.

"(We definitely won't be able to come to a conclusion today. We can only negotiate slowly.)" said the hoarse voice.

“(……)” Boss Rabbit said nothing.

……

Su Mingan was thinking.

The small world on his palm and the highest difficulty perfect clearance mark on the back of his hand are his last trump cards. If the bet is the product of [rules], and these are also the product of [rules], then when they conflict... will there be new possibilities in the future?
If the future wasn't absolutely bleak... he was willing to imagine a future filled with sunshine, even though he knew that sunshine didn't belong to him.

After all, no matter what the result was, he couldn't go home.

The person who loves his hometown the most cannot return to his hometown.

Fate is like an eternal Poincare return. No matter how many times the universe evolves, and no matter how many possibilities occur at the same time... everyone seems to be walking on the same path, as if it is some kind of inevitable "only truth".

An idealist destined to die.

It is impossible to have the best of both worlds.

The untouchable everyday dream.

The hometown I can't go back to.

It turns out that the original consistency can also be reflected here.

His gaze fell on the void, resting on the white skeletons of the dead. They seemed to have eyes, looking back at him, with a hint of Ouroboros grief in their eyes.

But he smiled, as if watching the enemy's king on the chessboard, falling towards him. The chess piece he had dropped with his own hands was shining, and the light reflected in his dark eyes.

He didn't win.

But he won't lose either.

He never won the world.

But he never lost to anything either.

……

"(It seems that we cannot reach a consistent result for the time being.)" said the mechanical voice.

"(The bet has been concluded. There is no point in further negotiation. Let's go back first.)" said the childish voice.

They realized that they could not reach a conclusion through discussion, and some of them were already preparing to leave.

……it's over.

Su Mingan let out a long sigh and relaxed his body. As he had been under great mental stress for too long, when he relaxed, his vision went dark and he fell forward.

"...!"

He immediately took a deep breath and steadied himself. When he stood firm, he realized that this little incident had attracted the attention of all living things... and even changed their postures.

Boss Rabbit stretched out his big white velvety hand, as if he wanted to catch him. When he saw that he had stood firm, he slowly retracted it.

Dieying still had his hands in his pockets, not reaching out, but kept looking at him.

The shadow in the fifth seat stretched out his hand, but quickly retracted it.

The shadow in the eleventh seat was the most excited. Although he was not close to him, he almost rushed over to help him. He didn't know why he cared so much about him.

...Did they know him before?

Su Mingan frowned, wondering if they were acquaintances.

"Okay, let's all go back!" Boss Rabbit covered up this little episode.

The stars on the platform dimmed one by one. The sights focused on Su Mingan gradually disappeared.

They began to leave.

The Boss Rabbit floated in front of Su Mingan and smiled warmly. But this time, Su Mingan felt that its smile seemed forced.

"Dear first player, the meeting is over. Let me take you home." It stretched out its big furry white hand and took his hand.

The soft touch made Su Ming'an's hair stand on end for a moment, and he almost wanted to let go, but he quickly realized that Boss Rabbit must have something to say to him in private.

They walked towards the dark and deep corridor.

Su Mingan looked back.

The vast sea of ​​stars remains the same as before, as if nothing would change over the years, with only an occasional streak of stars passing through the sky.

The bones on the ground returned to their calm state. No matter how many years had passed, no matter how much the world had changed, only crescent-white remains remained, without any trace of their former splendor.

Six of the twelve dais had been darkened. Only the shadows of the second seat, the devil of fun of the third seat, the shadow of the fourth seat, the shadow of the fifth seat, and the shadow of the eleventh seat had not left.

……

Walking into the corridor, Boss Rabbit's voice sounded:

"——Honey, you are very brave! I give you a thumbs up!"

"Haha." Su Mingan said.

He realized that Boss Rabbit actually treated him well.

In a waste file, in the endless heavy rain in the White Sand Paradise, it came to ask him who was dying. At that time, it should have given him a chance to live, but he was determined to die.

In Praya's room, it answered his questions about "Nolia's Red Rose", which finally gave him an idea of ​​how to break the deadlock of the gods in Yunshang City. It even took away the half-eaten chocolate he had eaten.

In the thirty-third cycle of despair, it stretched out its big hands, rubbed his head and comforted him.

Although it is a jerk most of the time, these comforting behaviors are like panning for gold in shit. But compared with other shit organizers, its attitude is already very gentle and friendly.

"Bunny is looking forward to your comeback in Luowasha!" Boss Rabbit said "comeback" and curved his bloodshot eyes: "Of course, I am also looking forward to seeing your failure... By the way, someone else wants to talk to you, so Bunny will leave first."

Before Su Mingan could say anything, Boss Rabbit left.

He stood in the dark corridor of nothingness, looking at the darkness ahead.

At this time, another familiar voice came.

"——They all hope that you will fail and become their delicacy, but I am an exception."

The gold in the darkness came into view. For a moment, Su Mingan thought he saw Noel in the desperate situation. Just like so many times when he was in desperate situations, Noel always came.

But when the golden hair fluttered on his shoulders and the cold voice flowed, he clearly understood that it was just an overlapping image.

The gentian flower swayed on the cane, and the blond young man looked down at him slightly:
“So, I look forward to your victory even more.”

"Let's find a chance to turn the tables in Luowasha, save Zhai Xing, and give them a good slap in the face."

"If I win, you won't get any of my fragments." Su Mingan said.

“…It shouldn’t have been my turn in the first place.” Dieying’s voice became softer: “Besides, with or without you, the new world is destined to reach the other side.”

"Just wait and see." Su Mingan laughed.

Just wait and see.

Was he taken away, or was he taking them away? Was it the predator that cut his flesh and blood into his mouth, or was he killing the predator? None of this was known.

Even with the bet as a guarantee, they still feared him - feared the source of his power.

He is not necessarily inferior to Them.

Noel, Lu Shu, Yueyue, Su Lin, Lu...even A-Du, Dr. Xu, Xiao Ai, Ming and Ying...There are many people behind him, no less than those twelve proud lives.

He had already ignited the fire of war against them, challenging the almighty God as a human being.

"Let's go." The shadow disappeared in the next moment. He still had to work hard to find his next target. This time he just came to take a seat.

Su Mingan walked forward, feeling something.

Sure enough, the next moment after the overlapping shadows disappeared, another person appeared beside Su Mingan.

"Which seat are you in?" Su Mingan said.

The shadow let out a soft laugh. Su Mingan remembered the voice, it was from the fourth seat.

These high-dimensional beings have different positions. Some are extremely hostile to him, and wish to skin him alive, like the mechanical voice. Some are neutral, and prefer to be his companion, like the Fun Devil. Some, on the contrary, hope that he will win a great victory, like the Shadow.

"I don't seem to know you. Do you have anything to say to me?" Su Mingan said.

"You know him." said the female voice.

The next moment, the black mist slowly faded away from His body.

His appearance was not fixed on exact facial features, but constantly switched between a child, a middle-aged man, and an old man, as if invisible time was flowing through him over and over again. His body was wrapped in thick black fog, without a fixed shape.

Su Mingan looked for a while but didn't recognize who it was. There wasn't even a face.

In the midst of his confusion, He smiled.

Su Mingan's eyes were filled with shock as he heard His self-introduction——

"My name is [Elya]."

……

Su Mingan looked at Him in surprise: "Xiao Ai?"

Ailia is the name of the Nine Gods of the Sky. Xiaoai is the kindness separated from Him. Later, Xiaoai possessed a pink fox in the ruins world. It was once kicked by Lin Guang, gods, and spirits, and has the reputation of fox cake.

Although Xiao Ai is always elusive and no one knows where she is now, she can’t be the organizer...

"Xiao Ai, you are just a part of me. The Dome is not everything to me." Aierya said, "The 100 people in the Dome have authority. Where do you think this authority comes from? Are their own personalities enough to control this authority?"

"So that's why. It's because you are already higher than the world of the Dome. But since you are the organizer, why can you interfere in the Eighth World?" Su Mingan said.

"I didn't interfere with the dungeon." Alya said calmly, "The image of 'Alya' you saw was a weak evil god who was not believed in and had only Siber as a believer. That was only 'the Alya you saw'. The real me is already standing high in the sky, overlooking everything. My essence comes from the void and innate concepts. The Alya in the dome is just my reflection."

"High-dimensional vision?" Su Mingan thought. In the eyes of high-dimensional, time is not time, and space is not space. Although he still cannot understand the relationship between the Qiongdi Elya and the high-dimensional Elya in front of him, there is one piece of evidence that is very clear -

Even the authority of the Old World needs to be obtained through the World Game. Where do the tribesmen imprisoned in the black wall get a hundred authorities? It is obviously not the power system of the Dome Land. It must require high-dimensional power. Elya is this high-dimensional power, so it makes sense.

"I came here just to let you know who I am." Aierya said succinctly: "You have seen me, and then I will leave. We will meet again if we are destined."

Su Mingan couldn't understand the logic of this higher-dimensional being, but he did disappear very quickly.

——Then another person appeared beside Su Mingan.

It was as if everyone was lining up to talk to him.
