Chapter 901 Chapter 890 "You will die before dawn."

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

——Into the eyes is the game opening animation of "Girl's Dream Project".

In the shot, the locomotive of the steam age kicked up dust.A white bird flew across the bell tower and the glass-colored church, and the camera followed the white bird to read the beautiful steam age-until a narration sounded:
"Cultivate her well. Finally, look forward to the birth of the ideal country."

As soon as the picture turned, the camera came to a detective wearing a felt hat, holding a necklace in his hand, followed by a little girl with black hair.

"I'll take care of you in the future." The detective said softly, his voice extremely magnetic.

The little girl nodded.

Su Mingan took a closer look, the detective's necklace was a living eyeball—isn't this necklace [Eye of the Past]?

Before he could think deeply, the animation in front of him quickly edited more than a dozen shots with montage techniques.There are knights who adopt orphans, there are washerwomen who find babies, and there are children who are baptized in the church... Finally, the camera returns to the detective. The little black-haired girl beside the detective has grown into a young girl, and she looks up in the sun:

"Detective. What do you think life is?"

"Detective, are you willing to believe me?"

"Detective, will I kill you myself?"

"Detective, as long as we smile, is that enough?"

The detective didn't answer these questions, but just clenched the Eye of the Old in his hand.

Then, the church bell rang, and the hour and minute hands on the bell tower turned rapidly, as if to symbolize the rapid passage of time.The tone of the animation began to dim, and the originally warm and harmonious rhythm took an abrupt turn, and all the shots were stained with blood.

"—Bright red python! It's a bright red python!" Someone's roar sounded.

"—If I go, can you continue to study antiques?" A pleasant voice sounded.The carols of the nuns of the church sounded faintly, and then disappeared quickly.

"—If one day, killing one person saves the world, are you willing to support me?" A youthful clear voice sounded.

"—Kill...Kill them! Trial—judgment for your crimes!!!" It was a hoarse voice, men and women could not be heard clearly, and the voice was already hoarse.

After countless sounds overlapped, the picture cut faster and faster, and the background music suddenly sounded, with epic solemnity, the sound of orchestral music overlapped with the sound of magnificent horns, and the sound of drums rumbled, as if resonating with Su Mingan's heart.

It was obviously just an opening animation of the game, even if he couldn't understand what these pictures represented for the time being.But he seems to be in it, resonating with every game character whose face can't be seen clearly.

As soon as the picture changed, on the plain covered with yellow sand, swords and magic clashed continuously, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers stared at each other with hatred.

"Kill, kill, kill the witch, kill the witch—!"

As the scene turned, the blood became darker and darker, the village was burning with flames, and a slender figure knelt and cried in the ruins, holding a charred corpse.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Holy Son..."

As soon as the picture changed, a man wearing a mask stood on the edge of the cliff, facing thousands of soldiers holding torches, he laughed wildly and fell into the cliff.

"The top of your head...is too dazzling..."

Then there are scenes of various killings, betrayal, plunder, assassination, fire, war... Countless scenes of blood flashed, and even civilians began to pick up hoes and swords.The world is in a never-ending war.

Su Ming'an gradually became unable to see anything clearly, and blood gushed out of the screen like substance, and he had the feeling that he was also drenched in blood.He was gradually out of breath.

And at this moment-

The distorted and dark background music stopped abruptly, and the picture was extremely quiet.

At this moment, the screen suddenly lit up.

Under the warm, silent, and dim light, the detective was wearing a warm orange velveteen coat, standing in the heavy snow, holding the hand of the black-haired girl, walking step by step into the snow-stained valley.

"Chacha, chacha." The sound of stepping on the snow.

In the whole picture, there is nothing but the two of them.

Those ubiquitous flames, swords, blood, and ugliness did not appear in this picture, as if they had never been contaminated.

"Master Detective, the war has already begun, where are we going?" the girl said.

"To the ends of civilization," said the detective.

"Detective, where is the end of civilization?" the girl said.

"Yes..." The detective was silent for a moment: "...it is my untouched hometown."

"Detective, will you still hold my hand when the time comes?" the girl said.

"I will," said the detective, "this time. Not to say goodbye forever, but to see you again. Not to end, but to begin. Remember our agreement."

"En." The girl nodded her head heavily: "I will, I will definitely abide by the agreement and meet you again. At that time, the war will definitely end."

The footprints stretched all the way in the snow, and the scene of the detective and the girl walking in the snow was played for a long time, the picture was monotonous and boring, only the picture of the two walking on the snow, and the few dialogues were constantly replayed, like a The constantly replaying slides formed a strong contrast with the wonderful war scenes before, and even the audience in the live broadcast room felt bored.

until--

"From then on, you will continue to despair and hope." At this moment, the voice of the narration suddenly sounded.

The picture is still the monotonous picture of the detective and the girl walking on the snow, without any change.Su Mingan even thought the narrator was talking to him.

"After that you will lose everything and gain everything." The voice of the narrator continued.

"Chacha, chacha." The sound of stepping on the snow.

"Thereafter you will redeem everyone and kill everyone," said the narrator.

"You will be the kindest you you can be."

"You will be the most evil you."

"You will write down every name."

"You will erase every name."

"Chacha, chacha." The sound of stepping on the snow.

"No one is with you, no one is your company," says the narrator.

"Can't speak, can't talk, can't trust."

"Measuring all fates and brushing aside the dust of history."

"Experience all destiny and chase the dawn of the future."

"Everyone in the world insults you, misunderstands you, and doesn't understand you. Your love will become obsession, and your pain will become eternal. Only death can make you feel warm and rested."

"Once you set foot on this road, you can never turn back. Even if you turn back, you will be crushed to death by the weight of the world and your own guilt."

"You will be in chains and in pain."

"You will lose many companions, and you will always be alone."

"You will leave many important people behind, and they will die on the eve of dawn for your ideals."

"You will no longer be you, but an obsession named 'you'."

"Until the end of the world and civilization. Where the flowers bloom, there is no way back, no one to meet you."

"Afterwards, you will experience the long years of loneliness to the bone and hundreds of millions of graves. All the expectations of the past will no longer belong to you. Laughter and happiness will have nothing to do with you."

"Your life should have many futures, and each future will be full of happiness, flowers blooming, and countless friends as companions, all of which are far better than today."

At this moment, the epic feeling of the music suddenly intensifies, the tone of the orchestra becomes higher and higher, and the heavy drums rumble, every sound seems to be beating on the heart of a person.

The voice of the narration also suddenly became more serious, and the speed of speech accelerated, as if the waves were coming to the shore one after another, asking the listener hurriedly.

"Even so—" the voice of the narration is very strong, as if asking Su Mingan's heart outside the game:

"—Are you still going to choose this irreversible path of salvation and redemption?"

this moment.

The detective and the girl in the picture suddenly raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction of the camera.The monotonous sound of stepping on the snow stopped, and a dim street lamp light shone on their faces, completely blurring their blurred faces.The animation freezes at this moment.

——"Girls Dream Project".

The game name appeared in the center of the screen with golden lines.

Three lines of text appeared slowly, with blood-colored fonts.

【"Yeah, I will choose this path again and again and again and again. I will never regret it." (Start the game)】

【"I will bring a glorious future to everyone. Whether they have good intentions or malicious intentions." (live broadcast management)】

【"I occasionally want to think about my own happiness." (End game)】

……

Su Mingan was startled, this is the end of the opening animation.As a player, he can start the game.

He looked at the still detective and the girl in the animation. The girl's skin was still fair, but the back of the detective's exposed hand was covered with bruises, making him look old.It should be the change brought about by this burst of snowy road, I don't know why.

He chose ["Yeah, I will choose this path over and over again that I will never regret." (start game)].

Games start.

"After that... the years will be long." The voice of the narrator fades away slowly with an epic feeling, as if a story with ups and downs is about to begin.The solemn background music also fades away...

The bustling sounds gradually entered the ears, and accompanied by the free and easy daily bagpipe music, the game began.

In front of Su Ming'an was a steamy street background.A detective in a shabby robe stood by the side of the street, holding a black felt hat in his hand, and a pipe dangling from his mouth.

Surrounding the detective were some homeless children bouncing past, an old man selling newspapers, a small vendor selling vegetables, and an iron-clad car blowing steam.The detective just stood quietly by the side of the street, smoking a pipe, as if admiring today's night scene.The overall game style is realistic, and the tone style is very bright.It seems that this is a peaceful and peaceful capital of steam, with relaxing and pleasant background music.

A line of text appeared above the detective, with an arrow pointing at the detective, like a novice guide in the game: [The game has begun!This is the character you are about to manipulate, please give the character a name! 】

Su Mingan thought about it and named it [Su Mingan].

[The naming is complete!Please start manipulating your character! 】

In an instant, Su Mingan felt his perspective change, from third person to No.1.There was a heavy coat on his body, and a choking smell of smoke came from his mouth.

Su Mingan coughed, and when he looked down, he had turned into a detective himself, and he was wearing a detective's costume.

[Detective: Cough, cough, cough! (choking on a pipe)]

When he coughs, a line of text will also appear in the lower right corner, indicating that the detective is making the sound.

Game prompts continue to pop up:

……

[Please follow the instructions of the game to complete the main plot of the game! 】

[In addition to the main plot of the game, you can also explore the country of steam and receive other sub-plots.You can even learn extra knowledge, such as cooking, iron forging, alchemy, tailoring, ancient writing, etc., and become a new professional here.You can explore any mechanism. 】

……

Su Mingan threw away the pipe and coughed out the smell of smoke from his mouth.

He still didn't understand what the main storyline of the game was. A green arrow appeared in front of him, pointing to the alley on the opposite side of the street. He should have passed through to start the main storyline.

A white-haired old man passed by him, and seeing his coughing appearance, he burst out laughing.

[Morgan Maxey: Young man, can't even smoke a pipe? (laugh heartily)]

NPCs speak in text, and text will appear in the lower right corner.But there is also sound, so it's okay not to read the text.

Su Mingan put the black felt hat on top of his head, and lowered the brim of the hat, not wanting to communicate with others.

But at this moment, an interface popped up:
