first player

Chapter 1318: [Give me a camellia.] (End)
The wind is blowing.

After leaving Si Que's dream, Su Mingan sat on the high tower under the setting red sun.

A blank book lay open on his knees.

His fingertips stroked the off-white pages of the book. For a moment, he thought he was still in a dream, but he knew that he was already in reality.

……

[Team player "Yi Song" died. 】

[Team remaining: 9/15]

……

【Team player "Eleven" died. 】

[Team remaining: 8/15]

……

[Team player "Beiwang" died. 】

[Team remaining: 7/15]

……

The bright red sunlight fell on his shoulders and back, like a burning fire.

The next moment, he suddenly fell forward, like a bird on fire, leaping down from the tower, his hair swaying in the air like sparks.

The rough wind brushed against his skin, and the hot wind boiled his blood. In the silence around his ears, he recalled his last conversation with Si Que.

……

[“Si Que, how should I record them?”]

[“When you used Soul Ferry, you recorded it the same way you did now.”]

[“——But the method at that time was clearly…”]

[“This is cruel, I know. You will be regarded as an executioner, a demon, and a madman. People will say: ‘Ah, the first player has finally gone crazy and finally attacked his teammates.’ Some people will also say: ‘I said that the first player raised these teammates to harvest nutrients for him’ - then what?”]

【“…”】

[“And you’ll still do it.”]

【“…”】

[“You will still stubbornly walk into that river.”]

【"……I."】

[“It’s not who will allow me, but who can stop me.” — This sentence is very suitable for you. No one can stop you. Those who can stop you are left behind by you or held in your hands. They don’t allow you to do this, they rush to the cliff by themselves, but what about you?”]

【“…”】

[“You’re one step ahead of them.”]

……

He set off.

Jump down from the tower and head towards the future.

The method given by Si Que is very clear - record the day when the red sun descends, the appearance, description and people's movements of this day.

The supporting characters around the protagonist, such as Luna, Yamada Machiichi, Mizushima Kawase, Boris, and some ordinary players... They are all narrative anchors, and they are scattered all over Rovatha. As long as these perspectives are recorded, it is equivalent to summarizing the whole picture of the Red Sun's Descent.

At that time, when everything has been collected, it will be converted into text and told to Sique.

But Si Que did not say how many times it would take to complete all this, nor did he say how to inform Si Que in the end so as not to reveal that there had been "many times".

……

[“Si Que, after recording all the information, how should we spend the Red Day?”]

[“Su Mingan, you have a small world.”]

[“Yes, it’s a very basic world, with nothing.”]

[“Your little world is the key to our breakthrough. My idea is to merge the little world with Luowasha, and add the Garden of Eden I created, so that we can create a space similar to a pirated game.”]

[“——World Fusion!!?”]

[“Well, it’s a bold idea, isn’t it? I got the inspiration when I saw Dual Shadow constructing a new world. Dual Shadow’s idea is to create an independent new world, so “He” works so hard - but what if we build a small world on the basis of a mature world? Let Luo Vasa be the foundation of your small world, which can not only maintain the independence of your small world, but also ensure that the small world will not suddenly collapse.”]

【“Borrowing chickens to lay eggs.”】

[“Yes, Luo Vasa is the chicken and the small world is the egg.”]

[“…In this way, can we escape the red sun?”]

[“Don’t worry, listen to me. I suspect that the Red Sun is a ‘trigger-type death mechanism for all’ - do you still remember the Fifth World Minghui?”]

[“I remember. If the innate blood awakening array is not successfully researched before Qinwang’s coming of age ceremony, the players will trigger a mechanism for the death of all players.”]

[“I suspect that the Red Sun is also a ‘triggered death mechanism for everyone’, similar to a system punishment - if players do not complete certain tasks before a certain day, this mechanism will be triggered.”]

【"So……"】

[“Well, there is only one way to circumvent it - to get out of the identity that will be punished by the mechanism. In other words, temporarily get out of the [player] identity.”]

[“Leaving…? For example, after I become a god in the Old World, I can run away with Shadow at any time. Does that mean I have left the world game?”]

[“Yes, after research, I think the reason is that when you became a god, the huge energy impact and strength change caused your game IP to become blurred. The world game can’t find you for the time being, so you can run away at any time.”

"This reminds me that the organizers of the Disciple Game introduced the 2021 version of Xiao Su and others to deliberately confuse your game IP, which is extremely similar to Xiao Su's. I'm afraid it is just to circumvent the monitoring of the world game."

"We must learn from the Disciple Game organizer's method of getting rid of the game IP. In addition, we also need energy."

[“Well, everything needs energy… What a pity! If Die Ying was on my side, I could capture Die Ying and burn him as energy.”]

[“Regarding the energy issue, when you have collected all the texts, come back to me and I will tell you how to get energy.”]

[“So…Rovasha has cleared the level?”]

[“Well, if you can do this, you’ll have cleared the game. Then we can figure out… how to make you finish the World Game once and for all.”]

【"good."】

[“I hope this is the last battle.”]

[“I don’t care. I just hope to succeed.”]

【“Go ahead, and have a nice trip.”】

[“Wait a minute. I have one last question, Si Que.”]

【"you say."】

[“…If you go to find the mastermind behind the Disciple Game to learn, will you have to pay a high price? That’s the ability to block the game IP.”]

【“…”】

[“What do you need to pay? Si Que.”]

【“…”】

[“After everything is over, will I still be able to see you, Si Que?”]

【“…Mr. Lighthouse.”】

【"Um."】

[“This is not a problem you need to consider. You have to pay a lot as well.”]

【"Um."】

[“——From the savior to the destroyer, from the hero to the devil, how does it feel?”]

[“It’s okay, after all…”]

……

Su Mingan closed his eyes and fell down.

The sun burned above his head and the dome fell - it was a grand sunset.

As he fell, he remembered the piano music from his childhood, Yueyue's book, Lu Shu's falling white hair, and Noel's blood on the experimental bed...

"After all..." He murmured in the whistling wind.

……

[Si Yi smiled, her eyes curved: "Do you want to try to become the Lord of Destruction? Su Mingan."]

……

[The white shadow of the World Tree said calmly: "In that case, Su Mingan will stand on the opposite side of me and the new protagonist - he will be the villain."]

[Si Que laughed and clapped his hands: "From the savior to the devil... Wow, what a wonderful subject."]

……

[A voice suddenly rang out from somewhere beside Su Mingan's ears:]

[“Don’t you want to take a look at a brand new possibility? A possibility that is not “by the book”? A possibility that is not based on the savior’s script?”]

[“A possibility of… your own ‘story’?”

【"mine……"】

【"Lord Savior"?"】

……

after all.

No matter what, he is just Su Mingan.

"Beep..."

He felt his body begin to melt.

After actively removing all protection from his body, the red sun's rays began to burn him.

Heat and pain pulsed in his senses, his skin was burned bright red, and he knew that after closing his eyes this time, it would be a new journey.

At this moment, he felt like a feather, or a leaf, whatever, he was floating in the orange-red light, as if disappearing in the boiling water.

Perhaps he was hoping for a lucky break, so he used this method of jumping off the building again - perhaps he was expecting someone to catch him and tell him that there was an easier way that didn't require him to work so hard.

Perhaps he was still afraid of the future that he could see at a glance.

He has always been a light to others, but this time he was wondering if he could get a ray of light from others?
Can you help him?
Can you save him?
At the grand doomsday, the black bird fell downward.

Suddenly, in the distant field of vision, he saw a ray of light breaking through the distant sea surface, like a ray of morning light piercing into the darkness.

—That’s Poseidon, Lu.

A man with long flowing hair and blue eyes broke out of the water, holding a trident. Under the blood-red sunlight, the sea surface looked like gradually boiling magma.

Perhaps he noticed someone falling, so Lu looked over immediately, passed through countless screaming and fleeing people, and saw the falling black bird.

"——Su Ming'an!" The voice of the Sea King broke through the air, losing its usual softness.

But it was too far, the tower was too far, the sea was too far. The black bird was still falling.

Falling and falling, as high as a tower, time is infinitely stretched.

——Then, Su Mingan heard a pulling sound.

I felt a touch on my wrist and my falling momentum stopped instantly.

A person with snow-white wings grabbed his arm, his eyes full of surprise:
"[...Lord, why did you fall?]"

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far away from saving me? And why have you not heard my groaning?” - Psalm 22:1 (A Psalm of David)

“O my God, I called to you during the day, but you did not answer me; and at night I called to you, but you were silent.” - Psalm 22:2

“Lord, where are you going?”

The brilliant crown was on the man's head, and the golden-red light fell on his ancient Greek-style white robe. His red eyes were stunned, and his hands tightly grasped Su Mingan.

"... Boris." Su Ming'an didn't expect that it was Boris who grabbed him at this time. Boris was from the Celestial Clan, and perhaps Boris had been paying attention to Su Ming'an.

In Boris's eyes, there was a look of worshipping God, full of awe and prayer.

The interlaced sunlight fell on their burnt red palms, and the blood that flowed out from excessive force looked like flowing rubies.

But the next moment, Burris let go.

“[“Oh, how long will you forget me? Will it be forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long will I take counsel in my heart and worry all day long? How long will my enemies oppress me?” - (Psalm 13:1-2)]” He cried out, and his eyes gradually turned into pain:
"Go ahead, go ahead—"

“[“Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky? He will come in the same way as you saw him go up to heaven!”] - (Acts 1:9-11)”

——He will come in the same way as you saw him go to heaven!
Looking at the god going to die, the believer took the initiative to let go of his god.

I don’t know whether to obey or to be disloyal.

Those red eyes were filled with sorrow that was like thick clouds that could not be dispelled.

The black bird fell, and its feathers gradually turned into burning flames and rose upwards, like the first spark on the prairie.

At the last moment, Su Mingan was melting and recalled the scene when he was in elementary school and a jellyfish melted in the sun.

……

[“At that time, I always thought that the jellyfish had ascended to heaven. Later, I found out that it was burned by the sun.” Su Mingan lowered his eyes slightly: “It turns out that it was not a dangerous creature that killed it, but just the bright sunlight. It just melted away like that, without leaving any trace…”]

……

It turns out that the jellyfish did not melt.

Maybe it really ascended to heaven - to the other side of the river of time.

In the sunshine, in the red sun.

Just like the Galileans saw Jesus off as he left the world and ascended to heaven.

Red feathers are flying, and the fire is raging.

His body melted away until even the burning pain disappeared, and he saw a vast expanse of white before him - the purest white, as if time was embracing him - welcome back.

White, pure white.

This is the color white that most dying people see.

As the disciples watched, it seemed as if the clouds described in the Book of Acts came floating in, taking the suffering sons of the earth away, flying in the white death, to greet the next coming.

……

I have already written the first book, Theophilus,

[Until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after he had given instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.]

【——Acts 1:1-11】

……

In the white - fly for ten minutes.

——Will he, who has fallen repeatedly in the human world, ever obtain pure happiness?

……

Or is it,

When?

Please give me a camellia.

Let me hear your ideal love.

……

The pressure of reality is too great, and the sleep time is very short. I take a few days off every month and sleep a little longer.
