Chapter 439 Chapter 437·【Long time no see】

  【I am the **** who represents reincarnation and incompleteness. 】

  【I love you because I love the world. 】

　　　【The key is in front of that door. 】

  【If you turn around. 】

　　【Please see me, hold me tight, and believe in me. 】

　　　　Time is short, and years are fleeting. 】

　　【Delusional one, I will make time stop for you. 】

  【—"Jiu Shen·Reincarnation Notes"】

 …

Su Mingan, who had just opened his eyes, took a breath and inhaled the smell of dust.

The air had a dryness to it, as if he was sucking in volcanic ash, and a dry, grainy feeling went straight into his throat.

"Cough cough cough..." He coughed heavily, moved his hand to the side of the hard bed, lifted the thin quilt, and brought up the system mirror.

This is still a role-playing world, and his appearance at this time is not his own, but looks somewhat similar to him.

The person in the mirror has black hair and black eyes, which are a little red due to violent coughing. Overall, he looks like a young man. His appearance looks very young, he should be no more than twenty-five years old.

 He noticed a name floating above his head.

 Looking carefully, it is exactly the three characters "Su Mingan". There is a bracket after it: (This name is only visible to the player).

It seems that even in a role-playing world, other players will know which player this person is, and there will be no situation where players impersonate NPCs.

 The barrage has announced the time on time:

　　　　Looks like a medieval background. 】

　　【It's so dark outside the window, and the ambient brightness is not very high. 】

　　【Su Mingan seems to be possessed by a poor boy? It’s really rare that before, he was either a world-famous Saint Master or the God of Yunshang City who once saved the world. I thought he would always adopt this aristocratic tone. 】

　　【Could it be a plot about a down-and-out nobleman getting slapped in the face? I'm starting to look forward to it...]

　　【But this time, there will no longer be a eldest lady who shouts, "There is no woman who likes you more than me in this world", and no one will call him "Rin" anymore. When he woke up this time, there was no one around him...]

　　【No one will call the live broadcast room "Captain" anymore...】

　　【Hey, are you finished yet? Stop, stop, stop! 】

　　【…】

Su Mingan stood up and followed the sound of an object falling to the ground before he opened his eyes.

 Pushing the door open, he saw a rusty key lying on the stone steps in front of him. It must have been the sound of the key falling to the ground just now. I don't know who threw it here.

He did not rush to pick up the key, but first raised his head and looked at the environment outside the door.

 The first thing that caught his eye was a bright red figure. It was a figure covered in red robes, standing outside the door with his back to him.

The sky that the man in red robe faced had a strong sense of foreboding.

It was as if there was pitch-black ink smeared on the sky, with colors of different shades. It looked like some twisted living creature was struggling and rolling in the sky. It looked a little disgusting.

Under the sky, dark fluid material like jagged rocks piled up all around like hills, and even the trees on the side were wrapped in a dark black mist.

 This is a forest. However, those trees were pure black in color, as if they were stained with dirt, and even the leaves were a dead black color, like dead cicada sloughs, without any breath of life.

　　The house where Su Mingan lives is a wooden house in the mountains.

　　It is past twelve o'clock in the morning, late at night, and the light at night is very bad. There is only a black moon hanging in the sky, reflecting a little faint light.

  Judging from the current situation, the environment of this world is definitely not good. Not to mention the weird sludge that spread all over the world, even the air quality seemed to be filled with smog.

 …like a “polluted” world.

He raised his eyelids, and his vision was filled with thick mud. He took steps, as if he was walking hard in a world surrounded by black mud.

 In the darkness, the man in the blood-red robe remained motionless.

The deep black sky spreads behind the man in the distance. Under the darkness of dense dark clouds, the figure looks thin and thin.

However, the color on that person's body was extremely bright, like a beating, bright fire in the dark night, stubbornly shining the most dazzling brilliance in the dark.

 —As if one person is fighting silently against this dark world.

I do not know how it is.

 Obviously it was just an insignificant figure.

When Su Mingan saw the other person standing under the dark night, he actually felt that the other person was fighting against the entire world.

 …

　　【Welcome all players to the eighth world! 】

 【World name: Divine Sacrifice】

　　【Basic mission for all players: Please work with your "guide" and do your best to survive until the last moment of this world! 】

  【Player personal advanced mission: determined according to the role played by the player, and is being issued...】

 …

 “Ding dong!”

 【Task of the person in power: pretending to be an NPC (Boss Rabbit), inspecting the world's venues, current progress: 1/100】

　　【Task reward: Advancement of the status of "the person in power". 】

　　【Penalty for mission failure: The status of "power holder" will be reduced to the second level. 】

 …

 At this time, the shadow-transformed boss rabbit has begun to wander around the venue. There is an invisible barrier around Ying's body that can help him separate from the black mist floating in the air. Perhaps this is Ying's unique understanding of space abilities.

Su Mingan stepped down the last stone step, intending to say hello to the "guide" standing in front of his house.

 He is already prepared and will not go back and choose again if the opponent's ability is not particularly impressive. After all, reselection is no different from blind selection. It is difficult to equate the consequences of repeated deaths with the gains.

 “Are you my guide...?” he asked, walking towards the man in red robe.

However, while taking steps, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with his vision.

 He saw a long, shiny orange-red strip emerging slowly.

“…” Su Mingan frowned, and his originally relaxed mood was instantly disturbed.

…why is it you again.

  【The eighth world includes san value (sanity value) settings. 】

　　【Please note: The san value is closely related to the player's mental state. If it is too high or too low, different events will be triggered, which will affect the final ending of this world plot! 】

　　【Players please always pay attention to changes in san value. 】

 …

  【san value: 90/100】

 …

Perhaps because Su Mingan had a good rest in the past few days, his sanity value at this time was 90 points, which was much better than the start of the sixth world.

The world environment this time seems to be born from the mud. Even the branches of the trees are pitch black, which is reminiscent of a terrifying dark fairy tale.

Su Mingan only took a few steps when he noticed something was whispering in his ear.

 Just by listening carefully, Su Mingan's sanity quickly dropped by 3 points, and he immediately withdrew his attention.

Hearing the sound of Su Mingan approaching, the man in red robe turned his head slightly, revealing a floating strand of silver thread.

 “Are you awake?” The man in red robe looked at him.

 “Are you my guide?” Su Mingan repeated.

"Yes, I am your 'guide'." After the man in red robe finished saying this, he paused for a moment, seeming to be thinking.

The night wind gently lifted the red-robed man's robe, and a low murmur floated out of it.

"Strange." The man in red robe said, "I seem to have forgotten a lot of things..."

The man in red robe stopped talking and seemed to have fallen into a long silence.

Su Mingan waited for a moment and saw that the man in red robe remained silent, so he asked directly:

“—So, my guide, what is your ability?”

 The man in red robe sighed.

"The guides have different abilities... dolls, undead, insight, mirroring, duel, explosion, etc. Most of them have great powers and are almost invincible and omnipotent in their respective fields. Unfortunately, I He is the most inconspicuous among them. Being assigned to me, I can only express... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, adventurer, your chances of winning this time are not great." said the man in red robe.

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

According to the rules, he has learned that "guides" occupy a very important position in the eighth world. Guides will help players fight when necessary. If they are favored enough, they will even teach their abilities to players. .

 If your leader is not strong...

"So, who are you?" Su Mingan still asked. He at least needed to find out the other person's name and abilities.

 The figure covered in red robe finally turned around. White hair floated on the red-robed man's forehead, revealing a pair of exceptionally clear eyes.

When he saw his appearance, the man in red robe seemed slightly startled and didn't speak for a while.

The night wind blew through the bright red hood, and the exposed eyes seemed a little red, as if they had accumulated sudden tears.

"That..." Su Ming'an was about to speak when the man in red robe shook his body as if he had been awakened.

"My name is Siboer. My abilities cannot be used in battle at all, and I cannot win at all. If you insist on walking with me, the only thing waiting for you is death." The man in red robe wiped the corners of his eyes. , wiped away the faint tears: "Sorry, maybe the wind is too strong."

"It doesn't matter." Su Mingan said, "Before that, at least let me know your abilities."

He knew that he was matched with a weak player this time, and he would probably have to replace him, but before re-selecting, he at least had to let him find out the opponent's situation clearly.

“You will only be disappointed if you hear about my abilities.”

Siboer said softly:

 “Just…without any fighting ability…”

This ability seems to be so weak that it is difficult to speak. After Siboer's voice paused for a long time, he gradually continued the following sentences:

“…merely a ‘prophecy’.”

 When he heard this word, Su Mingan, who was already preparing to load the file again, was slightly startled.

 What did he hear just now?

 —Prophecy?

“Give up victory and hide, adventurer. I am too weak. What we will face in the end will be death...”

The man in red robe turned around again, and the excessively pale skin of his hands was exposed in the black mist, making a slight "sizzling" sound.

The extra large red robe fluttered gently in the night wind, like a brightly burning fire.

 …The man in red robe seemed to have returned to the silence of silently watching the night.

Looking at the prophet standing alone and silent, Su Mingan stepped forward and put his arm around the other person's shoulders from behind.

 He is gently embracing the other person with a force that is neither light nor heavy, and his posture is neither offensive nor alienating, as if he is giving a friendly encouragement.

 …O prophet.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

 …This is a perfect combination of abilities.

“But I need you.” He whispered softly, brushing aside his previous thoughts of substitution, and his tone was almost gentle: “Winning with me, okay?”

The man in red robe said: "Adventurer, I must remind you that I am the weakest of all, and I am the 100th-ranked leader..."

"It doesn't matter." Su Mingan opened his arms, as if he was standing behind the extinguished torch and took over the tiny flame.

In the silent night, he leaned down, as if hugging a small fire.

　　…Because I am the number one adventurer.”

He said:

 “…win with me.”

 …

 …

 【Final Sacrifice·15th Day to Last】

 【Remaining Surviving Players: 100】

 …

 【No.1 Adventurer·Current San Value: 87 points】

 【No.1 Adventurer·Current Leader: Sibor (Prophet·Guide Ranking 100)】
