Chapter 180: One hundred and seventy-nine

Chapter 180 Chapter 179·"This is the world you want to save"

Su Mingan leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

Even in the field of vision, those barrages that always like to meddle in other people's business are trying to persuade him:

  【It’s better not to go, this is a trap for this identity...】

  【This army looks like a regular army by its clothes, and it is coming for you at first glance. 】

  【Is it because the townspeople have collectively awakened? Or who leaked the news. I don’t think these people are selfless people, nor do they always repay kindness with hatred. 】

  【Yes, it's better not to go, but run as far away as possible. This tenth day will definitely be crucial. 】

  【…】

 He knew what the barrage said was right.

 But from the perspective of game progress, it is impossible for something to happen in front of him for no reason just to make him escape.

 The game progress is interlocking, and each link will lead to the next link. If he chooses to skip one of the links, he may fail due to missing clues when entering the next process.

 He thought for a while, sighed, and moved forward.

 …

The bright red heart blood was sprinkled on the snow, and the crowd was in chaos.

 The panic spread rapidly. Some children cried out, but their mothers tightly covered their mouths, for fear that they would be killed next.

These regular soldiers who suddenly appeared would not care about taking care of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and would kill anyone they caught without any reason.

 …They are looking for someone.

 A fairy-like person who suddenly appeared in their town, awakened their abilities like a god, and opened up a bright road for them.

 “Momo.”

The old mayor was in the crowd and whispered to the unshaven man: "He was at your house yesterday. You should know where he is. Find him quickly."

Mo Mo hugged Qing Qing, struggle flashed in his eyes.

 Qingqing's body was as cold as ice.

Since all the townspeople were suddenly driven out of the town in the early morning, many people did not even have thick clothes. Standing in this big square in the wind and snow, there was no place that was not cold.

 He hugged Qingqing, spreading the warmth from his body bit by bit.

"I...don't know either." Momo said softly, "He left yesterday afternoon, probably to the tower, but he didn't see anyone afterward."

"Besides, Grandpa Mayor." Qing Qing suddenly spoke up, looking at the old mayor with a pair of watery eyes: "Even if we knew where he was, we shouldn't have pushed him out. He saved us yesterday..."

"Nonsense! How can the nobles be like us!" The mayor tapped the crutch in his hand on the ground, frowning: "It's okay for these noble masters to be found, but if we can't find him, we will really die."

Besides, a timid young man was also saying:

"Yes, Qingqing, you are still young and don't understand this. Even if the noble did something good yesterday...it is just the noble's compensation. With this method, they should have benefited the mainland long ago, but they are just using us as a test It’s just a matter of taste. Those aristocratic gentlemen are not very kind people..."

"I have long said that there is no problem. How can such a good thing happen? If you leave after giving away your ability, it must be another power struggle and involve us..." Someone was saying next to him.

 Qingqing blinked her eyes.

She didn’t understand—why these elders were so excited yesterday because they had gained the power, treating people like gods, playing gongs and drums, and holding banquets, but today they were like enemies and had to push people away.

The attitude changed so quickly that she still didn't react.

Just as she was thinking, the crowd suddenly started to panic again. Then, she felt a big hand pass through the crowd, reach out in an instant, and pinch her shoulder.

 “Qingqing, Qingqing—”

Momo's screams exploded, and the next moment, she felt herself being violently pulled out, facing a spear stained with blood.

 “The countdown begins.”

 The armored soldier said.

The spear tip shimmered with cold light. Qingqing looked at the needle-like cold light and at the group of townspeople who were afraid of offending the soldiers, without any fear in her expression.

 She was suddenly chosen and was about to be killed suddenly, but she suddenly laughed.

“Big brother is right.” She smiled happily, her eyes mirror-like, reflecting the panic and confusion of the group:

“…Uncle and aunt, your behavior is indeed ridiculous.”

 Obviously everyone is capable.

Obviously everyone is not really powerless, some hunters are even as skilled as the soldiers. Even her father, Momo, is a powerful esper.

But just because the one who was killed was not them, because it was a blunt knife that cut their flesh, they could pray that the next one would not be them, and they could pray that someone would really come to save them, so they couldn't even get together to resist. Even if someone came forward, it was just an exception. Soon the chicken was killed to scare the monkeys.

...After awakening their abilities and gaining power, civilians are still civilians. They are not soldiers, they have no blood, and they have not been trained in real combat. Such people will only retreat even if they see blood - because they have long been used to it. He was squeezed out of his living space and then retreated silently.

Her words caused a commotion, and then more eyes, as if looking at [alien], were cast on her again.

In those eyes, in addition to complex situations such as envy and jealousy, there is also an additional layer of fear.

Mo Mo, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't bear it anymore. When he saw Qing Qing so close to the spear, the energy in his body burst out instantly and he rushed directly towards the group of soldiers surrounding them.

At the same time, Qingqing's hand also lit up with flames.

The flame was very weak and small, like the candlelight in front of the window. Normally it could only be used to light a fire, but when it was lit at this time, it represented her silent declaration of war against this group of fully armed soldiers.

 …It is more like seeking death than a declaration of war.

 Her and Momo's strength was simply not enough, and they couldn't even make a splash. And the crowd that could have been mobilized was frozen in place like wooden piles, with no intention of struggling at all.

 The crowd seemed to be separated from each other and became two groups. Those who stood out rashly became the target of the soldiers to exterminate.

 “Looking for death.”

The little commander gave an order, and the circle of soldiers surrounding the townspeople moved instantly. The spear penetrated through the ring and was about to pierce Qing Qing's body.

Qingqing stood there, looking at the spear thrust towards her with an unafraid attitude, and then, like an egg hitting a stone, she slapped the sharp spear head with her palm.

 She was already prepared to die.

  Even if there is no **** person, if they see a little girl standing in front of them, they will take some action.

 But now, she only saw a group of extremely numb townspeople, townspeople who were used to being oppressed by soldiers, and who were unwilling to die first no matter what.

And in such an environment, she saw her father, who had always been somewhat taciturn, who had always been timid and did not dare to take the lead in resisting, suddenly pushed away the crowd and rushed towards her, picked her up, and protected her tightly in his arms. middle.

 The flame in her hand went out.

The next moment, she heard the sound of spears advancing from all directions, and the next moment, she heard the miserable screams of many people and the dull sound of bodies falling to the ground.

Momo hugged her and did not feel the pain of being pierced through the heart.

 He raised his head, his face covered in cold sweat was covered with blood as if ink had been splashed on it.

 The blood of soldiers.

Blood bloomed like fireworks, flying in the air. Wherever it came into view, there were bodies that had been chopped off and had not yet reached the ground.

And amidst the splatters of blood, a young man with space radiating light around him stood in front of him, holding a pitch-black long sword in his hand. The sword was not stained with a trace of blood.

Su Mingan looked at the townspeople who, even though they were rescued, did not dare to fight the soldiers with him. He laughed, said nothing, and immediately turned around and slashed at the soldiers in the other ring.

  “—Target appears!”

 The little commander did not participate in the battle, but immediately said something to a stone.

A moment later, he looked at Su Mingan, who was walking over covered in blood, with calm eyes.

"Your Majesty the Holy Master." The young commander said, "We are here to find you."

 “Who asked you to come?”

   …”

 “Is it Holy Revelation again?”

Su Mingan raised the sword blade. The long sword was sharp and had a deep black layer on it.

Without exception, the wounds of those who had been slashed before were melted away without mercy, and the armor on their bodies was like paper, not hindered to the point of being destroyed.

 But it consumes mana very quickly. If Su Mingan didn't deliberately save, he only used a few at the beginning, and now the mana bar has bottomed out.

 He did not kill all the soldiers. There were many of them, at least several hundred. The others also seemed to avoid him deliberately and did not kill him. He suspected that this might be a conspiracy to drag him here.

"no."

 But surprisingly, Su Mingan got an unexpected answer.

"It's Your Majesty Hui Shuhang." The young commander said, "She asked us to come to you... and asked you to go back."

“Is this the method she proposed to lure me out?”

"…yes."

Su Mingan's mood fluctuated a bit, but he quickly calmed down.

He didn’t expect that at this last moment, even Hui Shuhang wanted him to die.

 He still remembered what she had said.

  【No one is born to be a victim, but you are the future. 】

 Now, he only feels ironic.

 She still used such a bad method to lure him out.

The town is very close to the main army station, and there is a big movement of collective awakening here, so it is not difficult to find him.

  But what is different from the previous episode is that the person who is looking for him is not Shengqi, but Hui Shuhang.

 But no matter what, he will not go back to die.

"I won't go back." Su Mingan said, "You guys can't stop me."

"Why bother." The young commander looked at him: "Sooner or later you have to leave here."

Su Mingan frowned: "What do you mean?"

 Suddenly, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.

This action... is too familiar. In almost every copy, he has to be pestered by children of one kind or another. They all like to tug at the corners of his clothes.

 He lowered his head and saw Qing Qing with bright eyes.

She didn't seem to be afraid of such a **** scene. It was clear that the ground was full of mutilated limbs and corpses. The damage caused by Annihilation was terrible. Some people were cut off in half by him, and blood and various organs flowed all over the floor.

Even his body was covered in blood.

The townspeople had huddled together in fear, and many began to vomit on the spot. They couldn't stand such a **** scene, and looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Even Mo Mo... stood there without coming over, with a complicated look on his face.

 But Qingqing didn't seem afraid, she just held his hand.

"Since you have to leave sooner or later, why bother dragging down such a bunch of innocent townspeople." The young commander looked at him with a bit of ridicule: "Help them wake up and drag them into the vortex of struggle. Now it has nothing to do with themselves. You have to know that this town is very close to the battle between the two armies. Once there is collective fighting power, everyone will be recruited to join the army."

Su Mingan said nothing.

"It used to be a barren land, but now everyone has value. No matter which side, no one will let go of this transformed town." The little commander said with a smile: "The meaning of the crown of Hui Shuhang is also to let me Everyone was taken back and the changes in their bodies were studied.”

Su Mingan suddenly remembered the laboratory he saw at the beginning.

 The innocent man who was treated as an experimental subject and lost his life on the test platform was said to be a citizen from a nearby town. As for such human experimental products, Zhengjun still has a lot of them in his basement.

 He heard it at the time and didn’t pay much attention to it. He was just still thinking about the contents of the Qinwang experiment diary.

 But now... when he was actually in the [nearby town], he really felt what was needed for the success of this experiment that changed the continent.

 …far more than a few formulas, a magic circle.

"But of course, we can also choose not to do this." The little commander said: "To us, you are far more important than these semi-experimental products. As long as you go back, your significance is far more important than these townspeople." Come...go back with us, and we will let everyone go and let them leave this dangerous land."

Su Mingan smiled after hearing this:

“Hui Shuhang didn’t seem to tell you that such an exchange is meaningless to me.”

"Yes, that's the case." The young commander did not deny it, but continued to ask: "Then do you want to go back with us?"

Su Mingan felt that these soldiers could not understand human speech.

As he looked away and was about to rush out, he saw the eyes of the townspeople looking at him.

 Their eyes were filled with fear, desire and expectation.

 Facing these countless weighty gazes, he felt weightless.

 Physical and psychological weightlessness.

They were silent, but there seemed to be countless people pleading to him.

  【—Please, please...】

  —Please, leave for us! 】

  —Please, sacrifice for us! 】

  【—Please, because you have saved us once, if you save us again...】

 …

"[If I follow my own will, I will be far away from sacrifice and being sacrificed - the environment is extremely harsh, and people's hearts will always be united]." Su Mingan read the sentences of this perfect clearance route with a slight tone:

“[At that time, I believe...the world in which he and they have left will be a paradise for everyone.]”

The townspeople looked at him, their eyes full of expectations for the [alien].

They were begging him to "raise their hands" and begging him to let them go.

Su Mingan looked at them with such sincere eyes:

“Qinwang, have you seen it—this is the world you want to save.”

As he spoke, without hesitation, he struck the head of the young commander on the side with his sword.
