First Player

Chapter 103: One hundred and one

  Chapter 103 One Hundred and One · “Have we met the organizer?”

Su Mingan stared at the black card in his hand.

 In the first coffee shop—before anything happened, a woman who claimed to be a staff member slowly pushed a similar black card to him on the table.

 The woman smiled and said to him—

 “We have a new game.”

 “Why don’t you take a look?”

 But Su Mingan refused.

At that time, he plunged headlong into the unknown future and embarked on a road of no return that was paved with his own corpse and ashes without hesitation.

Now, at the end of Qianfan, at the moment when he was stabbed in the back by his own compatriots and was about to become the leader, the organizer handed him a similar black card.

 The organizer said to him in a low voice——

 “Become the one in power.”

 “We don’t want to see you suppressed by humans.”

 Today and in the past.

 It seems to overlap.

 He couldn't help but feel that time and space were intertwined.

Su Mingan lowered his head and looked at the black card in his hand. The bright red lines on the card were outlined like flames, and the texture was warm, like touching human skin.

"The organizer." He couldn't help but ask: "Did we... meet in a coffee shop before the game started?"

The smell of burning paper money became stronger and stronger.

The shadow slanted slightly, and then, the metallic sound came from all directions.

“Dear ruler,” He said, “we have not met before the game begins.”

 The organizer changed his name.

 From "Zhai Xing Humanity" to "Dear People in Power".

This difference between before and after made Su Mingan vaguely aware of something. Those in power seem to have a very high status and are different from ordinary players.

He was still about to ask questions, but the black shadow gradually faded away like the tide, leaving only an empty throne.

 The organizer left.

                       

Su Mingan put away the black card and heard the slight sound of armor clashing.

 Three "people" kneeling on one knee suddenly appeared in front of him. They all wore armor and held long swords engraved with special marks. Their faces were hidden under their iron helmets, and a thick shadow cast over their faces, making them look like the ruthless assassins who only followed silently in ancient times.

Su Mingan noticed the mark on their equipment. He had seen the pattern on Boss Rabbit, which was a blood-red scale pattern.

 【New NPC followers*3 (the organizer allocates "people in power")】

  【Note: Followers can only move in the main god's space and cannot be brought into the game world. Followers obey the master's orders and cannot attack freely in the main god's space. They can only passively counterattack and cannot be resurrected after death. 】

 …

 “Tsk.” Su Mingan tutted softly.

 After revealing the secret that "the main god's space is not an absolutely safe place", the organizers seem to be very keen on provoking infighting among players. After knowing that he was in a situation where he was being targeted, he assigned himself three extremely powerful NPCs.

 But the organizer does not allow these followers with extremely high combat power to take the initiative and can only passively counterattack and act as his bodyguards.

 In this way, the "Lord God Space" can at least maintain basic tranquility and will not allow these followers to do whatever they want.

 Obviously, the organizer wants to establish himself as a "game organizer" and force himself to be opposed to all players.

Su Mingan could not refuse.

 With the goal of “dominating Zhai Xing”, he should not refuse the help offered by the organizer.

"Owner."

Three followers wearing armor knelt down on one knee, and the armor made a crisp collision sound.

Su Ming'an's body lit up with a teleportation white light, which was a sign that he was about to be teleported back.

 Next, he saw the dark room.

 He smelled an extremely clear smell of gunpowder.

 “—He’s out!”

With a mental score of 61, he heard the excited shouts of people in the distance.

 Next, three white lights appeared around him at the same time.

Luke and Nina rushed out like swords, breaking open the iron door in an instant and rushing out.

Su Mingan looked at the explosives on the ground—he thought for a moment that this scene was just a scene made up by the organizers to make him "the one in power."

He didn’t want to think the worst about his fellow citizens, only to find out that it was all true.

 …People like Edron really want him to die.

  Not in the playful setting of high-dimensional creatures, not in a game world full of dangers, but in what should be a resting place, the safest and most reassuring place, on the territory of one's own compatriots.

 Humanity does not lack heroes, but it also does not lack villains who only value small profits.

 He has no need to show mercy to those who want to kill him.

His hands clenched and unclenched, and then he put on a pair of pitch-black gloves for himself to hold on to the annihilation.

 The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger.

Lin Xiao’s guard skills are instantly enhanced. He was guarding Su Ming'an in front of him like a mountain. The organizer's lines on the armor were blood red, which was particularly bright in the darkness.

 “Boom—!”

 The explosion roared for a moment.

 …

The first guild residence has been planned at this time. There are shops along the road and residential houses of various styles behind it. The fountains in the square are tinkling and glowing white under the sky.

 A pitch-black figure passed by like the wind, with a green mantis dancing on his shoulder.

His fists were clenched and his dark eyes were full of anger.

Lu Shu originally wanted to clear the way for Su Ming'an to leave first, but he didn't expect that Su Ming'an would return so slowly this time, so he had no choice but to leave first.

 But he didn’t expect that,

Edron and the others actually...

Lu Shu once thought that they at least had a certain perspective on the overall situation, and at least they should not attack good people.

 But he heard through his Xiaohong that they wanted to kill Su Mingan.

 He immediately rushed to the place where Su Mingan was being held.

—He wanted to save Su Ming'an. Su Ming'an was a good person that he recognized. He would not change anything he believed in. He would not allow a good person to die there.

 Before rushing to the hall, he heard a violent explosion.

 “Boom—!”

 His steps stopped for a moment.

 In the center of the hall, Edward and others were standing there, holding a screen that had turned into a blurry screen.

 “Killed?” someone said.

"Probably, the space barrier didn't respond, and Su Mingan probably didn't have time to release the displacement." The scholar pinched his chin and said.

“But I’m very concerned about why he returned so much later than other players…”

"If he really has contact with the organizer, wouldn't we be asking for death..."

“No, don’t worry, I don’t think he has anything to do with the organizer. No host would push their employees to the forefront. This is just a means of manipulating public opinion, as long as the audience feels that way.”

"Regardless of this, even if he is not killed, it should not be much worse. If we stay here, his blood volume will not be able to come out." Edward glanced at a few people around him: "Although I don't think I can stop it. Keep that guy in check, but Adolf, Andre, and Ani, if he releases that clone and wants to cut off his tail to escape, it's up to you to stop him."

 “Where are Mizushima River and Lu Shu?”

"There is no need to tell them that they are not from the same faction as us, and Mizushima River's recent state is not right, so there is no need to cause more trouble. Edward is more suitable. After all, they are all perfect passers. In short, Su Ming'an absolutely cannot Get out of here alive, we can't go back..."

“—You’ve gone too far.” Lu Shu clenched his fists and walked quickly, appearing in front of everyone.
