Chapter 689 Chapter 680 BE20 "Second Death"

[I seem to see the future a year later.Su Mingan won in the end, he became an immortal god, and there was no one left by his side.Nuoer knelt down in front of the children, pulled the trigger and committed suicide; Lu Shu never came back as part of the game, and died in the dungeon as a BOSS; Yueyue's sword was broken, and she never saw Su Mingan again until she died ; Mizushima Kawasora held the doll and refused to let go; Edward lost his strength and became a lunatic, looking for food in the trash can; Luna was targeted by the audience and depressed; Yamada Machiichi disappeared; Lu died of betrayal...]

[——From the World Forum on January 2024, 1, TOP31 hot posts of "Humanity Stars Shine"]

……

Su Mingan once noticed that he didn't seem to be a part of himself at all.

When he enters the dungeon, he mostly plays other people, and all kinds of emotions and information are poured into his body crazily, his "self" is gradually diluted, and in the end, there is not even much of himself left.

He can vaguely recall what happened before the World Game started, but he can no longer empathize with himself four months ago.

Some people even asked whether "Su Ming'an" was a bionic human of the same type released by the organizer. Whenever Su Ming'an was on the verge of failure, there would be a new bionic body seamlessly connected to replace him and continue to pass the level.So people can always see Su Mingan wins.

— They say he is a "collection" of purposes and desires.

Like a program, like a machine, or like a "god in the world".The code name "Su Ming'an" has been tainted with apotheosis. Anyone who pronounces this name will slow down their breathing, as if chanting the name of a god.

Su Mingan was also puzzled by this.

But when he was talking to Yueyue at this time, he was able to let go of these thoughts.

"Okay, I'll tell you about my past..." he said.

They are still like the beginning of the game, he will share books in his spare time, and she will listen quietly.

He was sure that they were not love, but more like a blood bond.She is an anchor that keeps him from getting lost.The same broken family, the same unfortunate childhood, made them suffer the same fate.

"...After you left, what impressed me the most was the wooden building in flames. I saw Yangxia come back to save Dongxue across decades of distance, and became a sheep to accompany her in the rain.

"...The knight told me that he was willing to bear the shackles of the system called 'Bright Knight'. He sincerely wished me prosperity in martial arts and thanked me for treating him as a soul of equal communication.

"He said, 'Captain, because you are also a human being. You are also an absolutely independent creature detached from the setting'. I never thought at that time that his words could comfort me as far as the ninth Me in the world, obviously we are already so far apart.

"And that little liar... She was misunderstood, killed continuously, reincarnated more than a thousand times, but kept eternal compassion, she said I was her dear traveler, she said she would win in the next reincarnation ..."

Su Mingan kept talking, he firmly believed that the aura of missionary work could cure deficiency diseases.

The wheelchair flew between the red rock and the fire, carrying them through the endless hell of death and burning.Leaning on the wheelchair, Yueyue listened to Su Mingan's story about the experience of the nine worlds.

Her long hair was blown by the scorching gale, her cheeks were as red as apples, and her expression was still as soft as a doll.

She seemed to have changed nothing, but also seemed to have changed a lot.The eyes are always fresh and bright, like light and snow.Like the cat ear hat girl who likes to nibble on chocolate bars in the first world.

"Ming An." Yueyue suddenly said.

She stretched out her scorched hand, covering his twisted palm:

"I want to tell you...you're fine, you can't be better. I love listening to your stories. But I'm a little sleepy, so you just put me down here and don't take me, okay?"

She squinted.

"I can sing with you, as long as I sing, I won't fall asleep." Su Mingan said.

She must not fall asleep, otherwise she would abandon her reason and die directly.If a story told her she would fall asleep, but a song would wake her up.

She hesitated for a while, and she said yes.

"There are still 5 minutes at most, you must let me go." Yueyue said.

Su Mingan didn't nod, nor did he deny it.

A moment later, her voice came from the red-black hell like condensed magma.

This is her favorite song.At the high school graduation party, she once wore a tutu dress like a princess and sang on behalf of the class, even though it revealed dozens of scarlet domestic violence choke marks on her arms.

Yet no one thought her scars were ugly.

The pearls of the dance skirt are crystal clear and round, like her soul, and the scars are her golden medals shining under the light.During rehearsals, she practiced it over and over again, just like her thousands of sword swings are medals condensed by her sweat and hard work.

——So many scars, so many medals, finally condensed a soul like her, a soul named Yueyue.

She has always been an independent and powerful woman who dares to fight against darkness.

Her voice is soft, like the world is melting in the corners of her upturned mouth:

"The book of fairy tales under the pillow,

"Privately collected happiness,

"As a young man, what feelings do I want to express,
"The fawn of the lost forest,

"Will you meet a witch,

"The story begins..."

……

The years precipitated in her eyes, like a long time locked.

Su Mingan remembered that Yueyue had practiced this song hundreds of times in private. At that time, he escaped from home and met her who was practicing singing in the soundproof area in the dark. They looked at each other, also scarred, as if two similar soul.

She said, if you are sad, come and listen to her singing.

They once huddled together to keep warm in the cold winter, like two abandoned cubs.Her singing will always heal the wounded.

"Starlight clears the most mysterious fog,

"Twirl on tiptoe,
"I was in a trance and heard who was crying.

"The moonlight tells the plants outside the window,

"When you meet a child, remember to give way,
"Who will redeem my loneliness...?"

The wheelchair rushed out of the blood pool area, facing the wind and snow in an instant, and the snow dyed her withered hair white.

Brilliant fireworks exploded in the distance, the land was as wide as a dream, and the fireworks drooped in the distance, as if stars were falling on the coast.

Two lonely souls sang, as if they were celebrating the coming New Year together, and no one knew that they were both on the verge of death, meeting with despair.

He stared at her face, the red in her eyes was expanding a little bit, the time was almost close to the time of her death in the last week.

The wheelchair was speeding all the way, half of the girl's face was bathed in the dense light, and the fluttering hair was like a flowing Milky Way.The blood in her eyes climbed up bit by bit.

"You are the princess in the fairy tale standing in the light..."

She was still singing, her head held high, revealing her slender, burnt neck.

In the past, he once asked her what was the greatest achievement in growing up, and she said without hesitation that she would be able to play games with you in the future.

Even if you have to travel so far, cross such a deep river, and suffer so much to play games together, this is enough.

enough.

S-class lucky, enough.

In this long and distant life, those children who bloomed like flowers, she saw that he was desperately saving these former him and her.Face the darkness, step into the night, and never look back.

She was lucky enough to have been with him for so long.

"Wow——" High above the sky, a ray of light slowly turned, which was the brightness of the lamps of the distant buildings, as if a penetrating dawn was slowly rendering from the deep night, and the darkness was like a fading sea tide.

"I put on a gorgeous mask and turned and hid in a black dress,"

"Please dance with me while the fairy tale is not over..."

At this moment, she raised her hands high, as if in the midsummer of the graduation party that year.She took off her gorgeous tutu at the end of the performance.

She's not the princess in the lyrics, and she can't even afford a tutu.Before returning the tutu to her classmate, she invites him to dance.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Cinderella will go back home and continue to do housework.

She only has this one time.

Back then he danced a dance with her out of step.

"...Let everything recover after dawn."

The last lyric is over.

"铛——" The ancient bell from the bell tower rang far away, and the night was filled with gorgeous fireworks in the distance.

The new year of 2022 is coming, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone celebrates the new year together.

At this moment, Su Mingan didn't hear her voice again.

He turned his head slowly, and saw her head was slightly lowered, tilted at 30 degrees to the ground, the blade of the sword was held tightly by her, pierced through her scorched hair and raised high into the sky, Like a frozen icicle.

Her sword did not penetrate his heart, she still had reason, so she turned the sword and pierced her own neck.

Her mouth opened and closed slightly, as if to say something, but there was no sound.

"Bright……"

Like a bird that has been pierced, the slender red thread strangles her fragile neck, and anyone who jumps towards freedom will have his head and body cut to death.

The wind brushed her hair and played with her gradually loosening fingers.

He cannot touch her soul.

"铛——" the ancient and melodious bells sounded from a distance, countless cheers sounded from the city, the holy fireworks radiated into the sky, the whole city was bathed in the galaxy, and the faces of the celebrating people were full of red light, as if they were being lifted up ascend to heaven of bliss.

Under the brilliant light, the girl's head fell forward in the cold wind, as if she had died in another unknown world.

Her pupils lost their spirits, the fragile neck skin was torn by the ion sword, and her head rolled off.

Su Mingan stretched out his only remaining hand and caught her head in the cold wind, running through her black hair between his fingers.

"..."

Unable to die, he has become the [Tomb of Memory] for many people.Their names were the indelible tombstones in his mind, like his second death.

He remembered Mizushimagawa Haru's words a long time ago:
【Su Mingan, from the moment you became the number one player and sacrificed to Yueyue, I knew that you were extremely selfish. 】

【You will lose everything, relatives, friends, there is no one around you, nothing in your hands, you can keep nothing. 】

He is indeed selfish.

If at the very beginning, he had let Yueyue stay safely in the logistics and did not let her go to the battlefield, would she not have died?
If he could stop her earlier, if his retracement point could be earlier, wouldn't she...wouldn't have the deficiency disease?

At that time, as long as he kept her and told her not to enter Kaiusta, would she...wouldn't be in danger?
He hadn't done everything in his power to prevent her from going to war—wasn't he a little wrong?

He asked himself, trembling all over.During the long patience, he even heard his own voice asking himself, hoarse, like wet gravel,
"—didn't you use her?"

There's none?
"..."

He gasped for breath.

—Did he not use her?

He has won the most difficult war and cast off the shackles of the old gods. He is a great man in the War of Dawn and a hero who has saved countless people. The Lord of Aktor above.

...However, in the 49-year timeline, he didn't even keep a girl's soul.

If only he could have been earlier, tried his best to talk to her earlier, taken her away earlier, and folded his hands with all his strength in countless reincarnations...

With a soft "cluster", he approached the blade, and the blade also pierced his neck.

He vomited blood, hugged her and crawled down, as if burying himself in the soil.

The white snow and water light blurred his eyes, and he couldn't see her lost eyes clearly, only the fire in his throat was burning, and the skin was torn.

His hands were stretched forward, but he couldn't grasp anything.Ice and snow froze his soul.

Until he felt his head and neck loosen, and his vision rolled forward, as if he could embrace the eternal rest and freedom——

"Gollum..."

Only Xinxi's light and her sword blade shone slightly, and together with his head, they rolled and fell into the darkness.

"..."

If there is no world game...

If it hadn't started... he wouldn't be here dying repeatedly with burns all over his body.She will not suffer from deficiency disease and despair to suicide.

——The girl in the cat ear hat, she should have been a grown white swan.

She can sing and use a sword.She has a novel life, she walked out of the haze of childhood, she grew into a free and glorious soul, she will protect everyone around her, even an unknown soldier.

But she ended up acting like a madman, stabbing herself with the blade and breaking her neck.The blood-stained head rolled into his hands, and he didn't close his eyes until he died.

Su Mingan knew what she wanted to say before she died.

……

"Ming An, let's play games with you in the future..."

……

She once wanted to listen to him play the piano and play games with him. She wanted to witness the future of mankind with him and welcome a more brilliant life.

She knew that when his mother woke up, his mother would make things difficult for him. He no longer had a father, and no one loved him that much.Human beings stared at him, and she wanted to stand by his side.She wants to walk down with him...

But can't.

But she thinks she can't...

……

……

[I seem to see the future a year later. 】

【—Su Mingan won to the end, he became an immortal god. 】
