Chapter 700 Six hundred and ninety-seven · "Initial and final."

  Knoll was once caught in a paradox.

   He gave children hope, transformed them, gave them the ability to fight, and let them face a cruel and dangerous world.

   But at the same time, he is also hesitant about his behavior of negotiating transactions with his children - after all, this is an behavior that is not recognized by the public.

  Most people still maintain the original idea that children should live in a greenhouse, away from crime and war, and stay safe until the end of the year.

  Noel sees the darkness behind this view—if not plagued by sin, it means that the children will not grow any more this year. Once the year is over, there is a high probability that the waiting child will be affected by the war and die.

   But no matter what his purpose was, he took the initiative to dye a white paper like a child with cruel colors. Once his experimental behavior is made public, there will be a large number of people who will accuse him - these people don't care whether the children will die in a year, they just think that the children can't be involved.

   This kind of ideological contradiction and pain has been tormenting him, and in the middle of the night, he would ask himself whether he was a demon holding a scalpel. Until he finally couldn't bear the pain, his vision turned black and white.

   He was hesitant to confess this "experimental plan" to Su Mingan - the two of them didn't trust each other at first.

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

   Until Su Ming'an's birthday, they made a wish in the hot spring together.

   Until the measurement city of the ninth world, Nuoer further introduced Su Mingan's death reversal ability, and the isolated island was finally connected.

  Noel wants human victory to ensure the survival of the children - and Su Ming'an's god-like time authority has given humans a great chance of victory, which no one else can do.

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

   No matter whether this ability to shift back is a gift from a higher dimension or a self-help from Zhai Xing's consciousness, Su Mingan must be a "selected person", and this reason is enough.

  —He will do everything in his power to help him.

  “…”

He hugged Su Mingan tightly in the wind and snow, his splendid golden hair and fluttering black hair danced in the air. Countless robot guns were aimed at them from the corridor, but they were not allowed to shoot due to the order not to hurt Su Mingan. .

   "...Let's go." Su Ming'an's voice came.

   In the wind and snow, his voice was a little fragile.

Nuoer could feel Su Ming'an's body trembling, stiff like an icicle... He didn't know how many times Su Ming'an had died at this point. "Ability like this is a hundred times more painful and difficult - death is an uncontrollable fear of human beings, and the pain caused by death is far beyond the upper limit of normal people's tolerance.

   - "The first player" has come to this point, how much pain should he have?

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

   A person is a normal person because he is in a normal environment, not because he was originally a normal person.

  Noel asked himself if he could take it if this death-reversing ability was given to him. He thought about it again and again, and the result was "can't".

   He couldn't die dozens of times in extreme despair just to save one person. He will only bury the dead in his heart, his mental state is already poor, and he will not torture himself repeatedly until hallucinations appear.

   Perhaps only a "madman" like Su Ming'an who doesn't care about himself so much would treat death and pain as costless and achieve this.

   He will always only hurt himself, seeing himself as a triggering machine for time reset, or a piece of flesh without pain. Noel couldn't be as cruel to himself as he was.

   "Okay, let's go." Nuoer let go of Su Ming'an, and as the black crow flapped its wings, they flew towards the night from the height of the 107th floor.

  Their figures are getting farther and farther away, like two stars, one black and one gold, disappearing into the dense snow.

   "Su Ming'an, you..." In the corridor, Yamada Machiichi was already stupid. He didn't expect that when the red-eyed Nuoer appeared, Su Ming'an's first reaction was to hug, and then the two of them ran away together!

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

  It was obviously that he helped Su Mingan first, whether it was killing the players of the **** camp, sending a wheelchair, or protecting Su Mingan in front of Lin Guang, why, why did Su Mingan go with the invaded Nuoer...Why did things turn out like this...

   He watched Su Mingan and Nuoer leave on the black crow.

   He realized that something seemed to happen out of his reach. However, no matter how much he guessed, he couldn't spy on this secret, as if they were separated by an invisible barrier.

  …

   After ascending to the sky, Su Mingan began to cooperate with Nuoer.

  Nuoer took out a booklet of Hanyu Pinyin - "Longguo Hanyu Pinyin Learning · 4-year-old Infant Edition", and wrote a mark on the booklet.

"The initials like 'b' are indicated by a gesture with a slightly bent thumb. The finals like 'ang' are replaced by a short poem. There are other 23 initials and 24 finals, I have already thought about them Corresponding gestures and poetry..." Noel held the pen.

  Su Mingan watched Nuoer write down the text.

  Longguo has 63 Chinese pinyin. Among them, there are 23 initials, 24 finals, and 16 overall syllables.

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

Nuoer marked all the 23 initials and 24 finals with the corresponding relationship of the code words, and did not care about the overall recognition and reading syllables, because zhi, chi, shi, ri, zi, ci, si, yi, wu, yu in the overall recognition and reading syllables , ye, yin, yun, and ying can be expressed even by the combination of initials and finals, while the remaining two syllables, yuan and yue, are represented by short poems.

The initials of    are mainly actions, such as bending fingers, clenching fists, waving hands, hugging, etc., corresponding to 23 different initials. The finals are mainly based on words and verses, such as "hello", "talking about the organizer", "talking about the copy boss", "talking about Nuoer himself" and other topics, which correspond to 24 different finals respectively.

   There are a total of 49 correspondences, which Noel wrote on the pinyin booklet, and Su Mingan memorized them.

   This week, Su Mingan used to learn these code words. In the next episode, he and Noel communicated with each other in these code words that only the two of them could understand.

   Before meeting Su Mingan, Nuoer thought about the corresponding content of pinyin and code words in his mind. If Su Mingan speaks the code next week, Nuoer can understand it in seconds—they have already met the code.

   If Su Ming'an wanted to say "Last week, I know the clues of North Lisser", he only needs to express the pinyin structure of "North" - the initial code word of "b" is a gesture of raising a hand. The rhyme code of "ei" is a topic of "hello".

  Su Mingan just needs to raise his hand and say "good evening" when he sees Noel. Nuoer can understand in seconds, Su Mingan had known the clues of North Lisser in the past week.

If Su Ming'an wants to say "Last week, I went to the valley to get the clues of the dawn system", he only needs to express the pinyin structure of "Li" - the initial code of "l" is the bending of the **** of the right hand, and the final code of "i" is " The Lighthouse Theory". Su Mingan just bent the **** of his right hand and talked about the lighthouse theory. Noel could understand that Su Mingan had already been to the valley.

   The correspondence between these code words and pinyin, Nuoer has been silently thinking about it in his mind for a long time. During this period, he can't write a word, he can't read it, and he can't recite it, otherwise the organizer will find that he is making up the code language. He could only repeat it in his mind over and over again, deepening his memory.

   In just a few days, he learned all the pinyin and most of the characters for the dragon. He pretended to be interested in the culture of the Dragon Kingdom during the fragmented time, so that he could read the dictionary for a while and write down the Chinese characters slowly and completely.

   Until now, in this week, the information between the two was right, Nuoer poured out these correspondences in his mind, told Su Mingan, and let Su Mingan bear it.

  …so they can more concisely match the message next week.

   "Remember?" Noel asked.

"remember."

  Su Mingan closed the pinyin book.

   — Noel is a genius.

   A genius who possesses the peak of human wisdom and is wise and close to a demon.

Before he came, Noel gave 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 push out more and more in the cycle. much information.

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

  —This is pure mortal wisdom.

   Over eighteen deaths, over deception and lies, over the long river of time, and break free from his own thread.

  …until they finally fully codify a language that only the two of them understand.

  Noel will continue to update these code words in the future, making the code words more and more obscure, and even they will be able to match each other's information in daily chats in the future, no longer need specific gestures and hugs.

   He crossed the long river of time against the current, and as a human, he had a conversation with a death filer.

   This is a bridge between islands.

   Moreover, Nuoer's behavior is almost irreproducible - only one person can get information with Su Mingan purely by relying on himself, inferring Su Mingan's ability to go back in time, and giving himself strong psychological hints. Otherwise, if Su Mingan took the initiative to inform others, and then went back to the file, and waited until the next week, that person still didn't know anything.

   Only Knoll did this.

   "Is the Dragon country character interesting?" Su Mingan asked.

  Noel raised his lips and smiled.

   "Interesting." He smiled happily: "I haven't learned so much in a long time."

   "Thank you." Su Mingan closed his eyes.

  Before reversing, he heard Noel's voice in a blur:

   "...Su Ming'an, although I am very happy now, I hope you understand that we are your companions, not a burden. If it is really impossible to save people, let us leave and reduce the burden. You have no obligation to save everyone..."

   "You have to cherish yourself before you can cherish others."

  …

   Next week.

  Su Mingan opened his eyes and stood up.

   As he did every week, he stretched out Lin Guang, took Yamada Machiichi's wheelchair, and waited for the arrival of Red-Eyed Noel.

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

   "—Good evening, Noel."

  …

  【Raise your hand to correspond to the initial "b", and say hello to the final vowel "ei". 】

  …

   For a while, the two of them understood. The light and shadow of light and shadow mixed in Noel's scarlet eyes, and the corner of his mouth was slightly hooked.

   He turned around and flew in the other direction - he knew that Su Mingan had already spoken to him in secret, and he did not reveal his identity as a puppet master this time, he could still deceive the gods who invaded him for information.

  Su Ming'an grabbed Yamada Machiichi next to him, and with the effect of "Song of the Daisy" moving people, he left the robot's encirclement in an instant.

   The two acted separately, the division of labor was clear, and everything was in between.

   The first and second lists of 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 teleporter: "North Lisser."

   In an instant, the scarlet pocket watch burst into a blood-like color, reflecting Su Ming'an's expression - when Yamada-cho saw Su Ming'an's expression, it was soothing, relieved, like the relaxation after a thousand sails.

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

"Um?"

   "...Come on." Yamada Machiichi himself said this for some reason.

"Um."

  Su Mingan replied.

Almost over.

   Go to North Lisser to learn the clues of the Dawn system, then rescue Yueyue, end the Battle of Dawn, end Kaiusta... It's almost over.

  The final ending of the ninth world... After learning the truth of the three-dimensional time flow, this ending is no longer far away from him.

   The important thing is that he is no longer alone.

   sent a white light blooming, he landed in a valley like a paradise, and in an instant, the warm wind of spring blew through his black hair hanging with frost.

   "Crash-"

  The bamboo forests planted around are green and towering, with wooden sheds, streams and grape trellises all over the valley, white pigeons and butterflies running side by side, the beautiful environment here is incompatible with the apocalypse outside.

With a    "click", Su Mingan closed his pocket watch, his eyes bright.

   At this moment, he remembered the words of the poet René Charles of the Yu Kingdom.

  【The more you understand, the more painful it is. The more you know, the more torn.

   However, he has a clarity that is commensurate 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 have this kind of clarity that is commensurate with pain, and toughness that is balanced with despair.

  …

  How lucky.
