Chapter 406 Chapter 403 · HE · Immortal

   The snow under the city wall was blown by the wind, as if to bury this mottled brick wall.

   In all directions, I saw white slashes formed by falling snow, falling on the spread out pages.

  Su Mingan stretched out his hand, and Bai Xue fell on his shoulder.

   He ignored the barrages that frantically shouted "Keep She Luther!" "Persuade him!" Instead, he leaned over and put his hand in front of the opponent's forehead.

   The most competent knight of light.

The    setting can no longer control him, and the system can no longer restrict him.

   His soul is noble and pure, of pure divinity.

  The fearless system, character design, and the identity of the fearless NPC, even if it conforms to the so-called plot and goes to the path he should have gone, he still believes that this is the result of his own thinking, and he is willing.

   He is not controlled by the so-called fate, and he is not only alone and forced to be sacrificed on this earth.

   This is the result of his self-selection, knowing that he holds a red rose and that he can survive.

During this period,

   He never had the slightest hesitation and confusion.

   "Thank you, Captain." Sherlock smiled.

   He smiled cleanly and innocently, like a child who had never seen the world.

   It was a smile that was as pure and flawless as a blank sheet of paper.

   "You are the 'first player', Captain."

   "Logically speaking, you won't waste a little time on me until you know that I'm a self-awakened NPC."

"But."

   "…but you and I went to the barbecue, twice."

   "...You saved Granny Garde and Lele, who had nothing to do with you."

   "You...respect me and always regard me as a soul that can communicate with you on an equal footing."

   "Even, that girl named Naraku, you never abandoned her, satisfied her somewhat unreasonable demands, and found a treasure for her to restore her appearance."

   "Why did the 'Number One Player' do so many useless things? Why, the strongest among the travelers from another world, would give up the rare rest time and go with me to find a younger sister who I didn't know?"

   His voice paused for a moment:

   "...Because you are also a 'human', you should be the same 'human' as other people."

   "Captain, you... are also beyond this setting, an absolutely independent creature."

   "…Thank you for respecting my decision."

  Su Mingan stared at him.

   Snow fell on the opponent's golden hair.

   a soft sound.

   "Hula..."

   The azure blue siren soul escaped from Su Mingan, followed his outstretched hand, and flowed into the forehead of the knight who was full of sunset.

  The Siren King gave Shelud the power to expel the Siren and began to absorb his soul.

  Su Ming'an respected the other party's decision.

   "You are no longer an NPC, nor a player." Su Ming'an stared at his firefly green eyes: "—You are a unique 'person' separated from these two identities. Congratulations."

  …

  【NPC (She Lud) HE ending progress: 90%】

  …

  The air began to tremble and rise, and the wind and snow began to spread outward.

  The energy around the knight's body suddenly surged, lifting the roofs of the surrounding residents, sandpaper flying, sawdust and broken stone bricks wrapped in white snow and rushing towards him.

   Violent, searing, majestic, bursting.

   He instantly became the center of the storm.

  Like a sea-blue meteor, the knight raised the broken sword in his hand, no longer looking back, and rushed towards the outermost barrier full of sirens.

   "Sigh—!"

at this moment,

  Whether it was injured and fell to the ground, lost souls, or people singing and dancing, they raised their heads at the same time,

The moment    raised their eyes, they seemed to see the dawn blooming in the snow.

   It was like tearing open the cracks of the night, like scattered neon lights. Under the control of Su Mingan, the knight passed through the barrier and plunged into the siren group.

  The Kraken followed his figure and obeyed his orders.

So, those who followed the blue meteor became a sea-monster. They gathered together from the sea, followed behind him like a transparent storm, and followed him farther away. And go.

   is like a star deep in the universe, lonely and dying.

  He led these ignorant and slaughtered monsters, rushing to the sea, rushing to a farther place where people can hardly see it with the naked eye.

  He ran towards the distant skyline.

   Surrounding this island full of pain, the sirens from all directions were attracted.

   They followed and rolled, like meteors falling from the sky one after another, streaking across the sky, over the sea, and gradually disappeared from people's eyes.

   The cheerful songs and bonfires in the center stopped.

  People stood up straight, and looked at this shocking scene with some daze, looking at the sky, like a scene of thousands of stars falling.

   Ten thousand stars, chasing a dark blue, falling star.

  …they bloomed with gorgeous flowers.

  …

   The catastrophic siren completely disappeared in Praia.

   Those who heard all this have not yet recollected the joy of the festival.

  … It turned out that a disaster that was enough to destroy the entire Praia was suddenly resolved without a sound.

   They were afraid, but they never thought that this disaster would really end here.

   "The Brave", as the myth said, successfully pacified this disaster.

   As it should be, the deceased was cremated and buried in the ground. The wounded were healed. The families of the deceased were compensated and honored.

  The people who are still alive still enjoy the peace and joy that belonged to them.

   The bonfire is lit.

   bright red flames soared into the sky,

   Burned the night Praia red.

  …

   Since sending Xie Lude away, Su Mingan has been waiting by the city wall until nightfall.

  The heavy snow has gradually stopped, and Praia is quieter than during the day after nightfall. At night after the snow stopped, the city wall stretched out into the distant night like a giant white snake.

  He waited here quietly until a blue shooting star returned.

  The body of that figure is completely transparent, and the sea-monster soul on his body is almost empty.

   The returning knight suddenly fell to the ground. His pupils have been dilated to the edge, like dying stars.

  The scorching aura spread everywhere, scurrying around him as if uncontrollably.

  The body was absorbed, the soul was sacrificed, and his life had come to an uncontrollable end.

   "The world has been kind to me." The knight fell to the ground and laughed softly.

   He opened his eyes, blood hovering over his thick eyelashes, like a fluttering spark of sparks.

   seems like a silent fate.

   As if feeling people's gaze, he turned his head reluctantly and was looking into Su Ming'an's eyes.

  The scorched air cooled down a little bit, and the splendid blond hair was stuck in the snow, soaked wet like the feathers of a dead bird.

   "Captain. Help me open Changying's jar, there is still a little energy left, I... want to save her." He said.

"Are you sure?" Su Ming'an said: "After expelling the Kraken, you still have some soul left. As long as you don't die completely and wear a red rose, you can immediately be teleported to the world of the Lord God and become a player. If you are damaged, you will fall into a deep sleep, and maybe there will be a way to repair your soul in the future."

   "…Captain." He said, "It's my judgment, sorry."

   His eyes were red from the blue fire, almost dripping blood, but he still looked fixedly at him.

  Su Mingan opened the jar.

The    was almost transparent, and the girl's figure emerged. Before Xie Changying could recover from his deep sleep, he was embraced in a dusty embrace.

   At that moment, she felt that this embrace was very hot, very warm, very familiar, like walking into the bright summer sun, and her whole body was surrounded by warm temperature.

   "Puff."

   "Puff."

   Through the furnace-like hard armor. She could hear the heart hidden inside, beating enthusiastically.

   The dying knight stroked her head and poured the last of his energy into it.

   Xie Changying understood something.

   She knew that her brother seemed to be saving her.

   Her vision was gradually drowning in water, and the hot liquid slid down her cheeks.

   She uttered broken words, and there was an almost broken struggle in her eyes.

"elder brother."

  “…”

"Happy birthday."

   Her voice choked.

  The knight raised his chin slightly and smiled.

   In his eyes, there is no pain and sorrow of the past, and naturally there will be no love and joy in the future.

   "Changying." He hung the necklace around her neck on her gradually solidified figure: "Happy birthday."

  …

   "Ding dong!"

  【You have completed the red-level mission "Immortal". 】

  【Task evaluation: SSS (perfect!)】

  …

  【You get the Immortal Pendant (Red Level)】

  【Immortal Pendant (Red Level):…】

  …

   In the process of injecting energy, the knight looked at Su Mingan aside.

   "Captain." He said, "I learned a whole poem from your world, can you listen to me read it?"

  Su Mingan nodded.

  The knight closed his eyes.

  Bright red blood dripped from the corner of his eyes, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller.

   This is a poem he once heard players read.

   "I hope...to reach that happy place in no time.

   "It looks like a beautiful fertile soil from afar, a…

   "A fertile landscape with lovely treasures.

   "Such a person is the happiest and happiest,

  "...he can finally get a sweet rest in peace,

   "His little pleasure is enough to dispel,

   "Represses all his painful memories.

   "Therefore, all suffering is insignificant..."

   Reading this, his voice has become smaller and smaller, and it seems that it may dissipate in the wind at any time.

   He opened his eyes weakly.

  The movement of his eyes was very laborious, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

   He let go of Xie Changying and handed the notebook in his arms to Su Mingan.

   "Captain." He said, "The complete poem, I've written it down...Can you...take my notes and go...for my unfinished journey?"

  Su Mingan took it and opened it. Dense small characters appeared in front of his eyes.

   In this diary full of writing,

   has a greasy lemon, a magical TV, and chocolate that is better than straw sugar.

  …Records of romantic love sonnets, colorful Christmas.

  …The magical live broadcast that exists in people's eyes, another world without war.

  …

  The knight had a chance to see it.

  …

  The wind blows over the city walls.

The pages of the    notebook were opened, revealing the last page that was gradually showing blood red.

   [NPC Xie Lude, born in Praia, his occupation is a bright knight, and his belief is the **** of Yunshangcheng. His daily activities: fighting with the soul clan, eating barbecue with the captain, and excerpting the notes about travelers from other worlds. The only relative: sister Xie Changying. Ending: In order to save Praia, he gave up being a player, sacrificed his soul, and died heroically. 】

The words    gradually appeared in print, following the small print of She Luther's record, as if the system was mocking him mercilessly.

  Su Mingan tore off the page and tore it to shreds.

   "I know, I will leave with it." His hand slowly rested on the knight's head, just like the old lady's gesture of farewell that night.

   Under the bright moonlight that night, Garde's hand once lightly stroked the golden hair, the moonlight once sprinkled on her hand, and merged with the brilliant golden hair, as if the mottled moonlight also stirred.

   This is Praia's blessing.

   "You are the most competent Knight of Light I have ever seen," he said.

   "Sincerely bless you." Xie Lude lowered his head and his breath faded little by little.

   In the wind and snow, even though his voice was small, it was still calm and firm, as if there had never been waves.

"team leader."

   "- I wish you a prosperous Wu Yun."

  …

   This scene is like an award.

  The knight plucked off the red rose that he had longed for so much.

  …

  【The honor of knights comes from the recognition of gods and people. God only bestows the honorable title of knight to those who are qualified, but whether his words and deeds in the future can live up to the honor depends on whether the knight upholds his beliefs, and whether he continues to fight for God and the people as always. 】

  【The title of knight is not the end of those with firm beliefs, but their beginning. 】

  【People pay attention to you, so does God. 】

  【—Knight. You must not be the slightest slack. 】

  …

  The knight left with a smile.

  …

  [(She Luther) HE ending progress: 100%]

  …

  【You have reached (She Luther) character ending: HE Immortal】

  【(Immortal): "Captain, thank you, respect all my decisions."

"Thank you…"

   "... Treat me as a 'person' like you."]

  …

   The breeze blew and the pages turned.

   A diary full of densely written small characters spread out in front of Su Ming'an's eyes.

  …

  【The seventh day of meeting a traveler from another world. 】

  【Today, the captain behaved very differently. In his speech, he affirmed the existence of me and the residents. I suddenly realized that I still have people I care about and want to protect. 】

  【He said he loved us. 】

  [Today, the captain also called my name, and he told me—as long as I believe it, I understand that my current thinking is the result of my deep thinking, and I will not regret all my decisions. 】

  【—Then, I have to believe that I am an independent person. 】

  …

  【So, during this period, I kept thinking. 】

  【I saw the sea monster who had not retreated, I saw the sacrificed soul hunter, I saw the mother holding the child's urn, and I also saw... My Changying who was hiding in the jar, dying, waiting to be rescued. 】

  【I also remembered the novel fruits recorded in my book, the magical TV that existed in another world, the romantic poems in another world, and the people who liked me in the 'live broadcast'. 】

  【…】

   [I remembered, Miss Lin Yin said that the knights in their world will say to the object of their oath of allegiance:]

  【"Gun and roses, stand by for the princess at any time."

   "Love and tenderness will last forever for Her Royal Highness."]

  【This is a responsible and extremely romantic sentence. 】

  【Perhaps, in their world, there are loyal and righteous knights who can say such things. 】

  【In every world, there may be knights like me who think like this. 】

  【I think, fighting for this land is my spontaneous wish, not some systematic thinking—I think so clearly in my heart. 】

  【…】

【at this moment. 】

  【…】

【suddenly I. 】

   [Suddenly remembered the long winding river when I was young, the bamboo canopy in the rain on Thirteenth Street, and the newly made rice cake candy that Grandma Garde hid. 】

  【I remembered a barbecue ticket that Minister Eske gave me before taking me to that office. 】

  【…】

  【…】

【I think. 】

  【…Don’t have to try the novel lemon and chocolate. 】

  【Let the old taste continue for the children. 】

  【Playa's straw sugar is also delicious. 】

  …

   The wind and snow stopped.

  Su Mingan opened his eyes and put the necklace on his neck.

   The transparent blue light of the soul gradually disappeared before his eyes.

at this moment,

   He suddenly remembered his first meeting with the knight.

  …

  …

   "Su Rin, welcome to Praia. This is Xie Lude, a bright knight from Yunshang Church. He is the strongest newcomer who has just received the blessing of the gods and showed his A-level soul hunting strength."

   Ellas, whose body was not yet stained with blood, smiled.

   He used to be in the church, repeating Praia’s beliefs with tears and blood, mixed with violent coughing and choking.

   But at this first moment, his voice was kind, even more tender.

   Beside him, Eske, with yellow hair and a fashionable hoop, still had blood on his face, patted the person walking by.

"—He is the existence with the best chance to break through the S-rank. This kid is good at everything, but he lacks combat experience... Su Rin, I know that you don't like those B-rank and C-rank soul hunters, but for the future combat missions, you You can take this child with you, he is trustworthy."

   The warm light in the room reflected on the heads of the four people in the office, there was no cold wind and snow, and there was no harsh siren cry.

  Everything is peaceful.

  A figure in golden armor and a knight's sword came from the door.

   That knight,

   Back straight, eyes bright,

  —He was walking towards him, meeting people’s gaze.

  Room light hovered over his golden hair. Those gleaming green eyes that were as clear as lake water slowly looked over.

  The scabbard and the armor squeaked, as if the metal had a spirit at this moment.

  Beloved by the gods, bathed in bright sunshine, he seemed to gather all the upright and beautiful bright knights in the world, and smiled at him.

   "—Hello, first meeting."

  …

"team leader."

  …
