Chapter 699 Chapter 697·“Initial consonants and finals.”

 Noel was once deeply involved in a contradiction.

 Most people think that children should live in a greenhouse, away from crime and war, and stay there peacefully until the end of the year.

Noel glimpsed the darkness behind this view - if they are not disturbed by sin, it means that the children will not grow at all this year. Once the year is over, there is a high probability that the child waiting for him will be affected by the war and die.

But no matter what his purpose is, once his experiment is made public, there will definitely be a large number of people who will criticize him. These people will not care whether the children will die in a year. They are all moral pacesetters and only think that children cannot be involved. Come in.

Whenever he dreams at midnight, he will ask himself whether he is a devil holding a scalpel. Until he finally couldn't bear the pain and his vision turned into black and white.

 He had hesitated to confess this “experimental plan” to Su Mingan—the two of them did not trust each other at first.

Until the seventh world of Praia, Noel guessed Su Mingan’s ability to go back in time.

 Until Su Ming'an's birthday, they took a bath in the hot springs together and made a wish.

Until the Ninth World Measurement City, Noel further introduced Su Mingan’s death reversion ability.

Noel wants mankind to win to ensure the survival of the children - and Su Mingan's time authority, like a god, gives mankind a great chance of victory, which no one else can do.

 So, he will do his best to help Su Mingan win.

Whether this ability is a gift from a higher dimension or the self-rescue of Zhai Xing's consciousness, Su Mingan must be a "chosen one". This reason is enough.

 —He will do his best to help him.

　　　…”

He hugged Su Ming'an tightly in the wind and snow, his brilliant golden hair and flying black hair dancing in the air. The robot's gun was pointed at them, but it was unable to fire due to the order not to harm Su Ming'an.

"...Let's go." Su Mingan's voice came.

 His voice was a little fragile in the wind and snow.

Noel could feel Su Ming'an's body shaking, and his body was as stiff as an icicle... He didn't know how many times Su Ming'an had died to get to this point. The ability of "death rewind" was far better than "fixed point retrace" and "free save and load". "Ability like this is hundreds of times more painful - death is a fear that humans cannot control, and the pain caused by death is far beyond the upper limit of normal people.

—How painful must it be for "Player 1" to reach this point?

  Dozens of times of pain are enough to overwhelm a person, not to mention the maliciousness of the plot, the targeting of Edward and other villains, the numbness and indifference of the audience, the snooping and inducement of large groups...

 Noel asked himself if he could endure it if this ability to revert to death was given to him. He thought about it again and again, but the result was "no".

 He couldn't die dozens of times in extreme despair just to save one person. He will only bury the deceased in his heart, and he will not torture himself until he has hallucinations.

Perhaps only a "lunatic" like Su Mingan who doesn't care about himself can regard death and pain as costless and reach this point.

  He will only ever hurt himself, seeing himself as a time-resetting triggering machine, or a piece of painless flesh. Noel couldn't be as cruel to himself as he was.

"Okay, let's go." Noel let go of Su Mingan, and with the black crow flapping its wings, they flew towards the night from the 107th floor.

Their figures became more and more distant, like two stars, one black and one gold, disappearing in the thick wind and snow.

"Su Mingan, you..." In the corridor, Yamada Machichi was already dumbfounded. He didn't expect that when the red-eyed Noel appeared, Su Mingan's first reaction was to hug him, and then the two of them ran away together!

Yamada stood among the glowing glass shards, with only the cold robot beside him, and he clenched his fists.

He was obviously the one who helped Su Ming'an first, whether it was killing players from the God camp, delivering wheelchairs, or protecting Su Ming'an in front of Lin Guang. Why, why did Su Ming'an go with the invaded Noel... Why did things turn out like this...

 …

 After rising into the sky, Su Mingan began to cooperate with Noel.

Noel took out a Chinese Pinyin booklet - "Longguo Chinese Pinyin Learning·4-Year-Old Infant Edition".

"Initial consonants like 'b' are represented by a gesture of slightly bending the thumb. Final consonants like 'ang' are represented by a short poem. There are also 23 other initial consonants and 24 finals. I have thought about them all. Corresponding gestures and poetry..." Noel held the pen.

Su Mingan watched Noel write the words.

  There are 63 Chinese pinyin for Dragon Kingdom. Among them, there are 23 initial consonants, 24 finals, and 16 syllables for overall recognition.

Among the finals, there are 6 single finals, 8 compound finals, 1 special final, 5 front nasal finals and 4 back nasal finals.

Noel marked all the 23 initial consonants and 24 finals with the corresponding relationships of code words, regardless of the overall recognition of the syllables, because the overall recognition of the syllables is zhi, chi, shi, ri, zi, ci, si, yi, wu, yu , ye, yin, yun, and ying can be expressed even with the combination of initial consonants and finals. As for the remaining two syllables of yuan and yue, Noel chose to express them in short poems.

 Initial consonants are mainly actions, such as bending fingers, making fists, waving, hugging, etc., which correspond to 23 different initial consonants. The finals are mainly based on words and poems, such as "say hello", "talk about the organizer", "talk about the dungeon boss", "talk about Noel himself" and other topics, which correspond to 24 different finals.

 There are a total of 49 correspondences. Noel wrote them in the pinyin book, and Su Mingan memorized them.

 This week, Su Mingan used to learn these code words. Until the next episode, he and Noel will communicate with each other using these code words that only he and he can understand.

Before meeting Su Mingan, Noel had already thought about the corresponding content of pinyin and code words in his mind. If Su Ming'an says the code word in the next episode, Noel will understand it instantly - they have already figured out the code word.

If Su Mingan wants to say "Last week, I knew the clue to North Lisel", he only needs to show the pinyin structure of "北" - the code for the initial consonant of "b" is a hand-raising gesture. The final codeword of "ei" is the topic of "say hello".

Su Mingan only needs to raise his hand and say "good evening" when he sees Noel. Noel could understand instantly that Su Mingan knew the clues about Beiliseer in the previous week.

If Su Mingan wants to say, "Last week, I went to the valley to get clues to the Dawn System", he only needs to express the pinyin structure of "Li" - the code for the initial consonant of "l" is to bend the **** of his right hand, and the code for the final of "i" is " Lighthouse Theory”. Su Mingan just needs to bend his right **** and talk about the lighthouse theory. Noel could understand that Su Mingan had already been to the valley.

Noel has been thinking about the correspondence between these code words and pinyin for a long time. During this period, he could not write down every word, read it orally, or recite it, otherwise the organizer would find out that he was making up code words. He could only recite it silently in his mind over and over again, constantly deepening his memory.

 He learned all the pinyin and recognized most of the Chinese characters in just a few days. He used his spare time to pretend to be interested in the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, so that he could read the dictionary for a while and slowly memorize the Chinese characters completely.

Until this week, the information between the two people matched up. Noel poured out these correspondences in his mind, told Su Mingan, and asked Su Mingan to memorize them.

 …so that they can understand the information more concisely next week.

 “Remember?” Noel asked.

"remember."

Su Mingan closed the pinyin book.

 —Noel is a genius.

 A genius who possesses the pinnacle of human wisdom and is as wise as a demon.

Before Noel came, he had given himself multiple layers of psychological hints, from shallow to deep, layer upon layer. One layer of psychological hints can trigger another layer of hints. Only in this way can he introduce more and more psychological hints in the cycle of cycles. Much information.

 The exchange of information between the two of them will only become more concise and more obscure as the week progresses.

 —This is pure mortal wisdom.

 Crossing eighteen deaths, crossing deception and lies, crossing the long river of time, breaking free from one's own thread.

 …until it was finally completely codified into a language that only the two of them understood.

Noel will continue to update these code words in the future, making the code words more and more obscure, and they will even be able to match each other's information in daily chats, without the need for specific gestures and hugs.

He crossed the long river of time and, as a human being, spoke to a death returner.

 This is a bridge between isolated islands.

Furthermore, Noel's behavior is almost impossible to replicate - only one person who guesses Su Ming'an's time-traveling ability purely by himself and gives himself a strong psychological hint can confront Su Ming'an with information. Otherwise, if Su Ming'an takes the initiative to inform others and then turns back, until the next episode, that person still doesn't know anything.

 Only Noel has done this.

 “Is the word Long Guo interesting?” Su Mingan asked.

Noel raised his lips and smiled.

 “Interesting.” He smiled happily: “I haven’t had such fun studying in a long time.”

 “Thank you.” Su Mingan closed his eyes.

Before turning back, he vaguely heard Noel’s voice:

“…Su Mingan, although I am very happy now, I hope you understand that we are your companions, not a burden. If you really can’t save people, it is better to let us leave and reduce the burden. You are not obliged to save everyone…”

　　“You must take care of yourself first before you can have room to take care of others.”

 …

 Next week.

Su Mingan opened his eyes and stood up.

Like every week, he turned aside the light, took Yamada Machichi's wheelchair, and then waited for the red-eyed Noel to arrive.

The moment he saw the white-robed magician, through the broken glass, Su Mingan raised his hand and smiled:

　　　　—Good evening, Noel."

 …

　　【Raising your hand corresponds to the initial consonant "b", and saying hello corresponds to the final "ei". 】

 …

 For a time, the two of them understood. Light and dark light and shadow mixed in Noel's scarlet eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

 He turned around and flew in the other direction - he knew that Su Ming'an had already exchanged code words with him, and since he did not reveal his identity as a puppet master this time, he could still deceive information from the gods who invaded him.

Su Mingan grabbed Yamada Machichi next to him, and relied on the displacement effect of "Daisy Song" to leave the robot encirclement in an instant.

 The two of them acted separately, with a clear division of labor, and everything was done without saying a word.

 The first and second human beings are on the same path at this moment.

"Okay, Yamada, do what you want to do." Su Mingan took out the teleportation pocket watch and called out the name of the teleportation target: "North Lisel."

In an instant, the scarlet pocket watch bloomed with a blood-like color, reflecting Su Ming'an's expression - Yamada Machichi saw Su Ming'an's expression, which was soothing and relieved, as if he was relaxing after a thousand sailings.

 "Su Ming'an..." Yamada Machichi called softly.

"Um?"

"...Come on." Yamada Machichi said this for some reason.

"Um."

Su Mingan responded.

Almost over.

Go to Beilisel to learn the clues about the dawn system, then rescue Yue Yue, end the Dawn War, and end Kaiusta... It's almost over.

 The final outcome of the Ninth World... After learning the truth about the three-dimensional time flow, this ending is no longer far away from him.

 The important thing is that he is no longer alone.

The teleported white light bloomed, and he landed in a paradise-like valley. In an instant, the warm spring breeze blew through his black hair hanging with frost.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The surrounding bamboo forests are green and towering. Wooden sheds, streams and grape trellises are scattered throughout the valley. Doves and butterflies coexist side by side. The beautiful environment here is incompatible with the apocalyptic world outside.

 With a "click" sound, Su Mingan closed the pocket watch, her eyes bright.

At this moment, he remembered a sentence from the Yuguo poet Rene Charles.

　　　【The more you understand, the more painful it becomes. The more you know, the more you tear apart.

 However, he has a clarity that is balanced with pain, and a tenacity that is balanced with despair. 】

 He thought of the blond boy hugging him in the snow.

Perhaps, he and Noel both possess this kind of clarity that is balanced with pain, and a tenacity that is balanced with despair.

 …

 How lucky.
