Chapter 62 Chapter 61·“He is God.”

 【Bai Ri Machinery City·Inner City】

The sky screams and the earth cracks, like a spectacular scene of death.

The magenta glow is like thick blood sinking into the sunset, and thousands of chaotic colors of light surge up, reflecting the images of people fighting and shouting on the broken glass.

 “Bang bang bang—”

 The sound of gunfire and artillery fire continued, and the streets and alleys were filled with blood. The war had entered a fierce stage.

Countless soldiers passed by the corner of the wall, with pools of blood flying and loud footsteps.

Dingyue was injured and leaned against the ruins, panting heavily.

 “I believe in the leader, he will definitely be able to kill Bai Xiong...” she said softly.

 A player is helping her increase blood: "If you are the first player, you will definitely win."

"Well, if it was him..." Dingyue thought of the young man playing the piano in the broad daylight. It's hard to imagine what kind of surprise she saw at that time.

 The leader, who is powerful, wise and has great charisma, plays pure music in front of the piano. That music soothes everyone's soul.

It would be nice if that moment could be frozen, as if an invisible **** waved his hand in the air. The leader's eyes looked clear and gentle, and his heart seemed to encompass everything in the world.

 She trusts him, respects him, even...believes in him.

 He is like a **** who leads everyone to freedom.

"If it were him." Dingyue looked steadily at the flames of war outside the wall: "We will definitely win. On that day, children don't have to be afraid. They can write, read, play the piano, and see the blue sky. The sky and the white clouds…”

 …she believed he was a god.

 …

 Suburban areas.

 The rain keeps falling.

 The night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the way forward. Residents clamored to stop Su Mingan.

 “Let’s go!” Su Mingan threw Alyssa high into the distance.

 The white light in space lit up, and he initiated spatial displacement. When he reappeared, already tens of meters away, he caught Alyssa who had fallen and rushed out of the circle of residents.

 Her body is light and her bones appear to be hard.

 The voices of anger and lamentation behind him became farther and farther away. Su Mingan carried Alyssa on his back and rushed out in the pouring rain.

The rebel army is attacking the inner city. All he has to do is kill Shiro and stop the operation of the mechanical army - he is the most critical person in the war.

 He broke through the rain curtain and rushed towards the wilderness. The surrounding scene became increasingly desolate, with only fallen weeds, broken bricks and tiles, and desolate building ruins remaining.

The barrage keeps flowing:

【Too dangerous! Too dangerous! 】

　　【It turns out that dungeons can be so exciting. This is a big war. Will there be a war involving hundreds of thousands of people in the future? 】

　　【I want to see Western Fantasy, I want to see the Pope King, the Dragon Princess, the Demon King and the Hero, Atlantis and the Siren, woo woo woo...】

　　【These residents are so rotten, why do they even kill the people who saved them? 】

　　【Alas... Times are different, and the three views are different. 】

　　【The first player's condition feels so bad...can he really make it to the end? 】

He is just a student, and sooner or later someone will replace him. The real boss hasn’t shown off his power yet! 】

　　【…】

Su Ming'an heard the upgrade prompt for Level 9. Ming probably gained enough experience and upgraded.

 “Cough…cough cough…”

While running, he actually started coughing.

 The pollution in his body is getting worse, which is related to his fatigue. In the past few days, he and Vincent and others were discussing the war route, and he only slept for a total of eight or nine hours.

"Go forward... Bai Xiong should be over there." Alisa said: "I remember that there is an abandoned church over there, and that is the only place that can be repaired."

 The night is thick and lingering.

Alyssa tugged on his cloak, and the slightly deformed fabric made a slight friction sound. She lay on top of him, and the skin of her hands became paler, like frost climbing up rocks in winter.

 She whispered: "If you kill Bai Xiong, you will become the leader of Bai City."

 “I know.” Su Mingan said.

 “I think…” Alicia said.

 She didn't finish her words, she just stopped here.

They stumbled towards the outside world. When Bai Xiong fled, he left footprints in the mud.

Alyssa actually wants to say—

She felt,

Su Mingan always looks at everyone's actions as a bystander. Like all human beings, in his eyes they are just puppets that move on strings.

 Although he showed full respect and equality, his bystander-like attitude was very concerning.

 It's almost like...a god.

 A **** who participates in it, but never indulges in it, and is so calm that he seems to have nothing to do with the world.

 …

 Is he God?

 …

 The rain was pouring down.

 The night is dark and the cold rain is like an icy sword, piercing into people's bodies.

Su Mingan carried Alyssa on his back and walked in the muddy suburbs. The surrounding temperature dropped little by little.

His breathing became heavy, and his body felt like a heavy iron was tied to it. Even the first player was only a human body, and he was not strong enough to ignore heat and cold.

 …It’s so cold.

it's too cold.

Alyssa stretched out her hands, and she hugged his cold neck. She stretched her arms and tilted her head forward, as if she wanted to protect him from the overwhelming rain.

 She sang a little tune to help him stay awake.

This is a song she specially learned from the players in the past few days. She originally wanted to sing it at the resistance's victory dinner in the future, but she didn't expect to use it here.

 “A witch accidentally wandered into the castle~

 She lights up the front with a star~

 She is more dangerous than a sharp knife~

 But she is very beautiful..."

Su Mingan carried her on his back and walked forward step by step.

The warmth she exhaled warmed his ears, and her clear singing voice was like the wind blowing through the early rice fields, full of light and hope:

“The king met her and stared at her intently~

 Such a good opportunity cannot be missed~

 The index finger gently taps the king's heart~

That's exactly the recipe you need for the potion..."

 “Alyssa.” Su Mingan suddenly spoke.

 “Huh?” Alyssa stopped singing and responded softly.

“You said I’m always nice to you, then why do you follow me regardless of the risk and be so nice to me?” In the heavy rain, Su Mingan’s voice was very calm.

The sticky darkness engulfed Alyssa's face. She turned her head and looked at him, as if there was a loneliness brewing in her eyes that could keep her awake all night.

 After a moment, she smiled.

 She is always laughing.

 “I want to grow up.”

 “Want to wear clothes of different colors, even short skirts.”

 “I want to be able to look at the stars freely in the dark night without fear of anyone hurting me.”

"There should be many people who have dreams similar to mine... I want them to have the same happiness as me - if you live and win the battle, thousands of 'them' like me can also get it. happiness."

“I want to help you, even if I am weak. I want you to see that the people you are saving are people like me.”

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

 He originally thought that Alyssa just relied on him and wanted to follow him all the time.

 But he now discovered that her will was far beyond his imagination.

—It turned out that she wanted him to see that there were many children like her who were suffering. Wanting her presence to remind him that there were many children like her who had not been saved.

She wanted him to know that the people he was saving were people like her, and asked him not to give up.

 So she will always risk her life to follow him. As long as she exists, he will think of thousands of "Elisas" who have not yet been saved.

 —Her ideal at this moment is more like a selfless "god" than his.

 "Alyssa..." he said somewhat hesitantly. He was shocked by Alyssa.

But she held her head high, smiled, and continued to sing loudly, her voice more sweet than a lark:

“But the witch knows,

 The human heart is a very troublesome raw material~

 But don’t worry,

 Because the human heart is full of wisdom~

 And the witch realized in the castle,

 She was loved by the king,

 Being in love with the king…”

 …

Lightning and thunder roared, and the lightning was like a crack tearing open the night.

In the heavy rain, Su Mingan saw an abandoned church.

That splendid building—its towering spire is reflected in stained glass with patterns, and its slender columns stand high, making it look light and slender.

Like a forest-white tombstone silent in the rain.

There was religion in Baicheng before. Unfortunately, as the system became colder, people abandoned their faith and the churches were abandoned. This church is one of them.

A figure in a white coat fell at the door of the church, soaked in the rain.

Su Mingan suddenly thought - according to the diary, Bai Xiong's health is very bad, the pollution on his body is very serious, and he may die at any time.

That figure is Bai Xiong who has passed out. Bai Xiong kept running away, and was finally intercepted by him.

Alyssa jumped down on her own initiative. Su Mingan immediately shifted her space and slashed towards Bai Xiong with a sword——

"boom!"

 A forest-white cross, like a human skeleton, blocked Su Mingan’s Arman sword. Bai Xiong barely raised his body, coughing and erecting the cross.

The cross, a symbol of faith abandoned by the cold White City, was actually used by Shiro to protect his own life at the last moment.

 …

 “Ding dong!”

 【Start the boss battle (Hakuo Rokaya), current combat power: 450 (seriously ill, aging)】

Since you captured the important information left by the chip, Bai Xiong is not protected by the mechanical army, and his combat power is reduced from 1200 to 450. 】

 【Odds comparison: 76%】

 …

 Under the colorful windows, the night is rich.

The leader of the resistance army aimed his sword at the leaders of Baicheng, and the abandoned church became their last battlefield.

"You are...the leader of the resistance, Eleven." Bai Xiong's intermittent voice came. He was supporting the cross, his whole body was soaked, and his face was pale: "Although I have never seen your face, I know it must be you. . Damn...who discovered the secret of the underground base?"

 “She is a great mother.”

Su Mingan said coldly, stabbing forward with his long sword—

"boom!"

Bai Xiong took out his pistol and barely fired a shot. Su Ming'an dodged sideways and the sword deflected, failing to hit Bai Xiong.

 Bai Xiong stumbled and ran into the church. Su Mingan coughed and followed closely.

This is a dusty high-rise building. The gilding on the walls has been taken away. The faint dawn light shines through the colorful windows inlaid with small glass blocks, like bright lace traces.

 The long night is about to dawn.

 In the center of the church is an empty coffin, covered with rotting roses. Perhaps someone wanted to be buried here not long ago, but it was not carried out and only a rose coffin was left.

Haku Xiong coughed and was forced to the innermost part of the church - a tall statue stood there, blocking the dawn from the church's colorful windows, and he stood in the shadow.

Each pillar is engraved with raised reliefs, like portraits of the gods.

Su Mingan paid careful attention to the angle of Bai Xiong's pistol.

"Do you really want to kill me, leader of the resistance army?" Bai Xiong leaned crookedly on the coffin, smiling miserably: "If I die, all the mechanical army will be shut down, and the resistance army will control the inner city... you know what will happen. Is this a situation like this? No one can reproduce, and Baicheng will become extinct soon..."

 “I don’t care.” Su Mingan finally said his true thoughts.

 He faced Bai Xiong with cold eyes.

His perfect mission is to kill Bai Xiong and obtain the mechanical core of the inner city.

 So, no matter what Bai Xiong said, he would kill Bai Xiong.

 If a human being who is extremely indifferent and observes everything can be called a "god",

 …He is indeed “god”.

 …

 …
