Chapter 627 Chapter 620 Five · "Sweets."

[Dungeon Open · Ninth Day]

Early in the morning, the air is filled with the aroma of hot porridge.

People wear felt hats, carry guns, and wrap themselves up tightly. Many people have tasks to get out of the city today.

Su Mingan woke up at six o'clock in the morning, and happened to meet a large group of people having breakfast.

"Luvis, don't you feel cold because you wear so little?" A pink-haired girl named Stacie asked.She stared curiously at Su Mingan in a white coat.

"Not cold." Su Mingan shook his head.

Not far away, a young man with blue hair came over.

"I didn't expect you to be in the Beacon Shelter, Luvis, let's go out together." The blue-haired young man naturally put his arm on Su Mingan's shoulder: "Let's go."

Su Mingan recognized who the blue-haired young man was, and he could do this intimate action of hooking his shoulders and his back, nothing more than a few of his player teammates, the most likely one being Lu.

When they walked out of the shelter, the loess road outside was somewhat uneven, and the road was wide enough for three large trucks to run side by side.Trucks roared past, crowded with heavily armed mercenaries.

There are some red lanterns hanging under the house, and the store sells some necessities such as wheat seeds, potatoes, salt, and sugar.

"The next four teammates are still missing." Lu said: "Nuel...he can't find it for the time being, so we can only look for Lu Shu, Yamada and Luna."

"Ah."

"Recently, there will be a festival here. It seems to be called 'Fu Yuan Festival', and everyone is shopping." Lu said.

The culture here is somewhat similar to that of Longguo. The Fuyuan Festival is very similar to the Spring Festival. There are many places on the street with decorations similar to lanterns, and some people are drying dry goods such as bacon and sausages.

"That's a coincidence, the New Year's Eve is almost here in the main god's world." Su Mingan said.

In the past few days, he saw that the audience has been talking about the New Year's Eve topic. Since this is the first New Year's Eve for human beings in the world game, they feel very novel.

Now by Su Mingan's side, Nuoer was invaded by Tawei and did not participate in Kaiusta.Lu Shu was nowhere to be seen.Yueyue... She, as Luo Kestaiya of the battle group, doesn't know where she is.

His "Siber's Tracing Compass" props can only locate three people in one copy, but now he has located two people, Dong An'an and Lin Guang, and he must leave one position empty to prevent accidents from happening.

None of the people he trusted was by his side now.

"Here." Suddenly, a hand stretched out.

Su Mingan turned his head and saw Lu Zheng smiling gently.In Lu's palm lay an oval-shaped candy in a purple package.

"My sister likes you very much and asked me to bring you Australian snacks." Lu said, "It is said that sweets can make people feel better. If she sees you eating her candy, she must be very happy."

As the only top player who can mingle with the audience, Lu is known as "the person least affected by public opinion turmoil". Whether it is emotional intelligence, speaking skills or affinity, he is quite high.

"Thank you." Su Mingan said.

He put the candy in his pocket but didn't eat it.He won't eat food from anyone again.

Lu didn't care, he just raised the camera in his hand.

Kaiusta has some side quests, and you can get contribution points by completing them.Lu took a side mission of shooting npcs and recording npc actions and events.

"Su Ming'an, can you wait for me here for a while?" Lu said, "My task is to conduct an interview, soon."

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

It's the early days of Kaiusta, and it's mainly about gathering information.He didn't receive any system prompts, and it wasn't time for major events to happen.

He hasn't decided how to restore Actor's actions in history.

...how should he initiate the War of Dawn?
This 40-year battle for freedom and liberation, an epic war engraved in the history books, the group of people who worshiped him like a god-how should he lead?
Lu raised the camera and walked towards an ordinary storefront.

In a store that sells paper flowers and red lanterns, sits a gray-haired grandmother.

Her hands are very skillful, a pair of bright red thousand paper cranes and small paper figurines are folded out by her hands full of thick calluses.She looked focused, like a craftsman in an ancient town.

Su Mingan waited outside, Lu walked in, and handed candy to the old grandma. The old grandma smiled and said a few words in front of the camera, and then held Lu's hand again and again.After a while, the road came out.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Su Mingan." Lu said.In his hand was a beautiful paper lantern, bright red like the sun.

Su Mingan was not interested in the matter of the old lady, and did not intend to ask too much.

They continued to walk on the street, and after a while, Lu took the initiative to speak:
"The old lady's daughter was forced to be recruited by the gods' camp before, and she was forced to listen to the whispers of the gods."

Su Mingan tilted his head slightly.

The eyes of the road are distant:
"The grandma's daughter died of [missing] disease, and she was still pregnant with her grandson before she died."

"The daughter gave birth to the child, but the child was born with defects. In the end, the grandmother had no choice but to kill the child with her own hands."

"Then...the old grandma went crazy."

"She only remembers how to make paper flowers and paper cranes. She made all kinds of gadgets all day and all night. Because of these things, she used to make them for her pregnant daughter to play with."

"She only reacts to people who give her sugar, because her daughter loved sugar the most before she was pregnant. So, she just held my hand and kept calling me 'daughter, daughter'."

"My video camera just wants to record stories like this. I came here to collect material to expose the cruelty of the Holy Tribunal in the camp of gods."

"I want to take the path of a 'news opinion expert'. Since there are media and live broadcasts here, I want to pass on the brutal things done by these god camps on the premise of protecting the safety of the parties. In this way, even if we don't fight, we will The contribution value of the camp will not be less."

Su Mingan listened, but didn't speak.

The way of thinking is very clear.

However, in this way, Lu and the camp of gods are completely opposed.Once the free camp is defeated, Lu will definitely not be able to please.

"—So, do you understand the purpose of what I'm telling you?" Lu said suddenly.

"Well." Su Ming'an said, "You want me to start the War of Dawn as Asa Actor, and you don't want me to watch as Luvis, right?"

Such tragic incidents will only increase and never end in this context.

"I don't know why you possessed Aktor." Lu said, "It can only show that if there is one person who can save these people, you are the most suitable.

I... don't force you, I just want you to see these things.Even if you choose to continue being Luvis later, I still respect you.After all, you have mechanical technology far ahead of the times, which is enough for you to get a good contribution value, and there is no need to take the most dangerous path. "

"..." Su Mingan didn't speak.

They walked through a studio, where some children were scribbling green mountains and green waters on the drawing paper—that was the scene before the cataclysm of the century.

Although they don't remember what happened in the catastrophe of the century, everyone can vaguely remember that that era was a very beautiful era.

Like Qiu Li, they have a secret and true yearning for that era, and try their best to restore the unknown past.

Su Mingan looked away.

His eyes are distant.

"—Run, the people from the Holy Tribunal are here!"

Suddenly, the people ahead who were about to leave the city fled back as if fleeing for their lives.

Lu's expression tightened, and he pulled Su Mingan into the gap between the houses on the side.

The Holy Inquisition is the largest judicial institution in the camp of gods, and it is a powerful armed force belonging to Lin Guang, capable of executing residents at will.

In the narrow wall gap, there are only some stacked wooden frames and charcoal fire.Su Mingan pressed against the wall, looking at the scene outside.

Among the fleeing crowd, Su Mingan saw a calm figure.

——that is a man who walks in steel.

The white-haired young man walked among the machines made of steel, his handsome face was full of warm blood, but he seemed to be integrated into the mechanical army.The robe was blown by the wind, and there was no tenderness in his eyes when he walked with Su Mingan at night. Facing the fleeing people, he only said one sentence:

"I suspect there are rebels here—door to door."

Behind him, the mechanical army with blood-red eyes rushed out after receiving the order.

The mechanical army broke into people's homes and searched their items. Once there were items judged to be "blasphemous", people would be dragged out and tied up.

As for the specific criteria for judging, no one knows.It's almost like... a massacre without standards, just to reduce the population.

People were escorted to the square, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.And that god-like agent Lin Guang who ruled people's lives.He stood on the high platform and gestured towards the mechanical army in charge of execution.

Those extremely indifferent eyes contained emotions that were not human at all.

It's like... the [Dawn System] of the city of measurement.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out and blood spattered.

In the center of the square, a resident staggered and fell down, like a flag being toppled.Everyone else trembled.They closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and hugged those around them tightly.

... how many will survive?How many people will Lin Guang slaughter this time?
Most of the people living in District [-] were scattered homeless people, who couldn't resist Lin Guang's massacre at all.

"boom!"

Another shot.

"boom!"

Then there was another sound.

Those who dared to resist were restrained by Lin Guang's powerful "source".They lay on the ground whimpering, being crushed into blood by the powerful force.

Several people wearing the badges of the Holy Inquisition stood behind Lin Guang, watching the scene indifferently.

Blood flowed and opened.

The energy from the dead man did not float towards the shooter, but poured into Lin Guang's hand in a unified way, as if he had penetrated into his body.

After the back of Lin Guang's hand became brighter and brighter to a certain extent, he gave the group of creeping lambs a cold look, then turned and left.

The gunfire stopped.

Apart from pools of blood, there was not even a single body left in the square.Only the low cries of the survivors and the mournful cries of the bereaved were left.

"why……"

"Why did the world become like this..."

The low cry penetrated into this piece of blood-soaked land.

Su Mingan watched this scene.

He knew it was just history repeating itself.

Since there is a rest time for returning to the city of measurement during this period, it means that the scene presented by Kaiusta is only false.Nothing he does can change what has happened in history.

With a calm mind, he turned his head—suddenly saw the execution place in the central square not far away, a fire bursting into the sky.Someone is being burned at the stake.

On the execution platform, on the burning cross, hung a charred figure.

The condemned man is dead, the flames have burned through his body, searing his skin and bones, and he hangs on the rack, motionless.

In the crowd of onlookers, a young red-haired woman covered her child's eyes.

"Why—why did they burn Daddy! Why! Daddy did something wrong. He didn't finish his daily prayers on time. Why do we have to obey gods who don't show up..." the child cried.

"Hush—" the woman covered the child's mouth after hearing this: "Yaowen, be quiet, be careful not to be overheard..."

After a while, she placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Your father is gone, and he went to enjoy himself in a world without turbulence..." The young woman whispered softly: "From now on, I will be your mother, okay? You can call me by my name Feisi, or by calling me Feisi." Mama Si..."

The young child was crying with a mess on his face.His eyes were full of bewilderment.

He didn't understand why the world treated him so cruelly, why it had to burn a living person to death.

...Just for the sake of the so-called gods?
...What exactly is a god?Why listen to their whispers?

The crowd of onlookers watched this scene, but no one dared to step forward to comfort him.They leave here numbly.

Only the red-haired young woman and the child were left embracing each other tightly, like a mother and child in the last days.

The raging fire that almost covered the sky, and the scorched figure on the cross stood behind them like a bright red banner.

"... whoever comes, save us." The child cried bitterly.

"I beg."

"Who can... save us."

The flag flutters, melting in the blood-red sun,
Like living with fire.

……

Su Mingan turned around.

The firelight traced his face and reflected in his dark gray eyes.
