First Player

Chapter 410: four hundred and eight

 Chapter 410 Chapter 408 · “She can’t tell.”

Su Mingan knew that the moment he entered the Demon King copy, he had become a cog in the future and history.

 In previous actions, he has always had a bystander attitude, inevitably advancing the Demon King's actions in order to complete the so-called "established facts."

 As it should be, what has happened before cannot be changed.

 But while he's dealing with the future—does he have a chance to change it?

 After all, things in the future haven’t happened yet.

He watched the brave man's original fearless aura gradually fade away, watched as the tide of puppets surrounded the opponent, and watched the opponent struggle to move forward in pursuit of the puppets, until a dialog box popped up above the hero's head -

[Devil! Seeing you, you're really playing a big chess ... It seems that I didn't guess wrong. 】

 The dialog box floated above the brave man's head, and Su Mingan frowned slightly.

Although I have already guessed that the Demon King is the God of Yunshang City. The brave man is the despicable one in the kingdom of heaven. He is the future self who will ascend Yunshang City tomorrow, but he will not show mercy for this.

 His night mission is to kill the brave. If the hero is not killed, he will die immediately and the mission will fail immediately, with no room for retreat.

 So, even if he knew that it might lead to "I kill myself" situation, he could not let go and not kill.

 However, looking at his future self's words, he felt a little strange.

  Immediately afterwards, another sentence popped up on the head of the brave man:

  【The way forward and the way back, there is no way to retreat... Demon King, you are really good at calculating. 】

  【This brave man...whoever likes to be one, just go for it, I'm tired. 】

Su Mingan wanted to try to communicate with the brave man, but found that he could not speak.

It was like entering a CG cutscene, and he could only watch the battle.

 Suddenly, he found that dialog boxes began to pop up above his head.

 The "Devil King" is communicating with the "Brave Man".

 Demon King:【You are here. 】

  Brave: [Demon King, I can help you escape. 】

Demon King: […Only in my eternity can human beings have desires and learn to fight. I gave them all this. 】

Demon King: [The Knight of Light in the Oracle and the Great Ghost King who can destroy everything are both dead. No existence can suppress me. Brave, do you still want to pass through my soldiers and kill me? 】

  Brave: […]

  Brave: [Mobius strip...]

Demon King: [You should understand me. 】

  Brave man: [Forgive me for refusing, I have no way out. 】

Demon King: [Is this your will? Or is it the result of your successful "dungeon" creation, a player from another world? 】

Su Mingan, who was watching the conversation between the two parties with interest, was stunned for a moment when he stared at what the devil said.

  Brave: […]

  Brave: [No. 】

  Brave: [I will defeat you, Demon King. No matter how well-preserved your soul is, it has already decayed. 】

  Brave: [Goodbye, Immortal Demon King. 】

Demon King: [...then kill me, I will give this right to you, if you can. 】

  Brave:【…】

  Brave:【But if I kill you...】

  Brave:【No...】

Su Mingan watched the exchange between the two parties and suddenly heard a crisp sound.

                                                                

This crisp sound did not come from a fallen puppet, nor did it come from this magma-like land.

 …is the brave man who is still hesitating whether to kill the Demon King.

In the brave man's hand, the sword blade covered by the black shadow suddenly broke. Then, countless attacks hit him. The next moment, his body was shattered like glass.

With a crisp sound of "ka ka ka", the hero's body was torn apart, and strange black fragments fell to the ground.

 The puppets retreated and lowered their weapons.

Looking at this scene, Su Mingan saw the death of the brave man very clearly.

 The brave man died extremely simply, like a torn rag, so weak that it made people cry.

   …”

Su Mingan stared at the corpse of the brave man, staring at the corpse of his "future self", but suddenly smiled.

 “It seems that I guessed right.” He said.

 He already understands everything that will happen tomorrow. Who the Demon King and the Hero are respectively is already very clear in his mind.

 Then, this copy is almost over.

 The excited voice of the system sounded in his ears at this moment:

  【—Congratulations to the Demon King! Killed the evil hero! 】

  【You are the great demon king guarding the castle, and you have successfully won another epic victory! 】

Listening to the system’s embarrassing performance, Su Mingan couldn’t imagine how this crushing game could be called “epic”.

He didn't even move, and the hero simply lay down. He was not as powerful as he had boasted before.

 Of course...it may also be because he has been doing well these days.

  【You can continue to pour your anger into this world! Let darkness cover the world, endless flames burn the entire land, and the world becomes a **** prison...]

 The voice of the system gradually faded away.

Su Mingan heard the inorganic system voice, which came from the overall system of the world game itself.

 “Ding dong!”

  【You have cleared the night dungeon "The Demon King and the Brave". 】

  【Comprehensive evaluation: SSS! (Highest!)】

  【The evaluation has been recorded and will be settled at the end of the world. 】

 【You get professional evolution gems (large)*3】

  【With this gem, you can advance your career by one level. 】

 …

 The rewards for career evolution gems are very good. They are hard currency everywhere. They can be encountered but not sought. They are one of the main ways for players to improve their strength.

 He upgraded his professional skills to lv.15. The three types of specializations in the light state have been upgraded to lv.11, while in the shadow state, [Light Resistance], [Dark Resistance] and [Water Resistance] appear again.

A closer look shows that he can basically ignore the attacks of the Master in his shadow state. It is estimated that when his professional skills reach level 20, he will be able to ignore the attacks of the Master.

If possible, he hopes to upgrade his professional skills to level 20 in the eighth world. Players speculate that this will be a huge watershed that can fully reflect the true characteristics of the profession.

His career points are now eight. This thing is actually quite difficult to obtain. It must be a good or evil act that "both he and the other party agree on" to be effective, and there must be a complete process of doing it.

Back in the third world, he could just pull a dog over and beat him up to gain career points. This was because the opponent was essentially the boss in the dungeon and had a certain weight. If he goes to the player group now and pulls out a player to beat him up, he will not actually gain career points.

 Only through clear events such as saving Garder, killing the princess, and preventing the Kraken from attacking the city can he gain career points.

As for why he knows that beating a player will not gain career points...

 Because of a very simple saying, “Practice brings true knowledge.”

 …

 Returning from the night copy, Su Mingan sat up from the bed.

The slanting morning light fell outside the window, and he knew it was eight o'clock in the morning.

Now is the last day for the dungeon to be opened. At noon today, he will board the city in the clouds.

 He checked the gold-level equipment "Noah's Chain" and found that its second skill had been unlocked.

 He opened the equipment interface.

 …

  【Noah's Chain (Gold Level): "Death can conquer the entire world,

 Our love will last forever and our lives will never die. "

 Charisma + level one (the maximum cannot exceed ss)

 Spirit +5

  Durability:10/10

 Equipment requirements: None.

 Special Skills (Long-lasting Glory):

 Effect 1: You can select any player and let him or her share any hostile damage you receive in the next 3 seconds. The cooling time is one hour.

 Effect 2: You can select any player to share any damage received in the next 10 seconds with him/her. The cooling time is fifteen minutes. 】

 …

In addition to the first skill that transfers damage, the second skill is similar, but the effect is to help others resist damage.

 Furthermore, Effect 1 says "hostile damage", which means that it is not advisable to jump into lava to deflect damage. You can only deflect the enemy's attack.

 Effect 2 is "any damage", which means skill 2 will be more applicable.

 He put away Noah's chain and suddenly noticed that the white-haired girl was no longer in this room.

The carving knife stained with sawdust lay quietly on the table, with a thin layer of sawdust accumulated on the ground.

 He had some premonitions in his heart.

 Naraku's condition was deteriorating rapidly. When he entered the dungeon last night, she was already blind, which was a symptom of losing her five senses.

 It was also the last symptom of her life.

 It would be normal if he woke up this morning and never saw her again...

 He opened the door and walked out of the temporary soul hunting club built by the central river.

 Morning light shone into his eyes.

After the snow stopped, the temperature in Praia has not yet returned to the previous high, and it is not as warm as summer, showing the attitude of warm spring.

Flowers as red as fire, like kapok, bloom on the branches with new buds.

Stepping on the soft soil, he saw blossoming sleeping lives, quietly gestating in this warm hotbed, showing the changing posture of life after the disaster.

 He saw the girl standing on the hillside.

What surprised him was her long, flame-like hair, which was like flowing fire, still conspicuous among the fiery red kapok, like a red rose blooming in the wind.

The morning light shone on her red hair, vaguely showing a touch of white in it. She suddenly turned her head, and the light in her exceptionally clear eyes seemed to be dancing, flickering and dancing vividly when she looked over.

She has a natural and confident beauty like the heroine of a novel. Her eyeliner is extremely long and narrow, her eyes are like hooks, and her eyelashes are so long that they can be curled. Like a fire that ignites in an instant and burns extremely brightly.

 In her hand, she held a bouquet of freshly picked flowers.

 When she saw Su Ming'an, she smiled, and her eyes seemed to have been recolored, unlike last night's dimness.

“Good morning.” She smiled and said, “I didn’t expect you to come back.”

 Her tone of voice is normal, without stammering or dementia, and her hair is the same red as before. She looks like a normal young girl who will have a long life.

 But Su Mingan was not happy about this.

 He knows that there is a word called "returning to the light".

"The night before yesterday, a man named Laken read a poem to me." Naraku said, "I know I have no literary talent, but so what? If I can't write, why don't I learn from others?"

 “Who am I...you all know?” Su Mingan said.

"Well, a traveler from another world." Naraku put the paper with the poem in his hand: "If, if you can leave here, please put this poem together with the wood carving I gave you... .”

 “Okay.” Su Mingan accepted it.

 Suddenly, Naraku turned around, his eyes becoming a little distant: "Did you see it?"

"What?"

 “Someone has come to pick me up,” she said.

   …”

 He saw an empty space with no one around.

The girl in front of her was clearly standing there, but she seemed to be melting into the wind.

Even if she barely made it to the next day, her time had already entered a countdown that could not be reversed.

Naraku stared blankly at the open space, her long bright red hair flying behind her.

 “A traveler from another world.” She said, “What is your name?”

 “Su Mingan.”

“…” she said: “I will always remember you.”

 She did not finish her sentence.

 The extremely strong feeling of weakness was torturing her nerves.

 She closed her eyes.

 She was going to die, and she knew it with the utmost clarity.

 So, there are some things that she will keep in her stomach and will never say anything.

—She wouldn’t say that she initially approached Su Lin only because of the family’s orders.

Before boarding the Yate, the Yate Empire had already become suspicious of the viscount and wanted to lure him to a ship without the help of knights.

 The Mir family she belongs to is a special family responsible for assassinations. It is precisely because of this that she, a seemingly pampered eldest lady, has such accurate marksmanship.

As Su Lin's friend, she deliberately acted like an admirer like "no one will love you except me" just to confuse Su Lin, determine Su Lin's conspiracy, and then kill her as appropriate.

It was precisely because she came here with a mission that she took the initiative to track down the traces of the soul clan late at night when the soul hunter was explicitly prohibited from going out, and that was why she almost died in the cabin on the same day.

 She won’t say.

 She wouldn’t say it—in the subsequent battles, she gradually discovered that the At Empire also lurked worms, and she was just a **** that could be abandoned by the empire at any time. On the contrary, on that ship, the later "Su Lin" saved her again and again.

  She would not say that it was on that ship that she really fell in love.

She wouldn’t say that her 70-point initial favorable impression of Su Lin at that time was just a friendship line.

 She won’t say... What turned her friendship into love was always the "Su Lin" who saved her time and time again, not the previous mission target "Su Lin".

 She won’t say.

 She can’t say any of this.

 Because she is going to die.

 So just keep this misunderstanding and don't let this visitor from another world bear anything for her.

She could see that he was much more tired than she was, the burden on him was too heavy, and he had no feelings for her at all.

 She will not impose her feelings due to the suspension bridge reaction on the other person. Nor will I achieve a meaningless "dying love".

 So, before she died, she pushed him away and remained silent forever.

 And these,

 She can’t even say it.
