Chapter 836 Chapter Eight Hundred Thirty-Five · "I hope everyone can survive."

"Good night."

  The three returned to the villa, and after confirming that Lu Shu and Nuoer were fine, Su Mingan wanted to go back to his room to sleep for a while.

   "Good night, Su Mingan." Lu Shu said.

   "Good night, when you wake up, the villa will be very lively." Nuo Er smiled and waved to Su Mingan who was inside the door.

   "Who are you going to invite to celebrate the New Year?" Su Mingan asked. Noel seems to be very motivated for this new year. He has been preparing since the end of the Ninth World, and he doesn't know what surprises there will be.

   "Of course they are all acquaintances." Noel said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything, and you are satisfied with the process."

   "Okay." Su Mingan smiled and closed the door.

  The moment the door closed, Su Mingan immediately tilted his body and sat down on the ground, covering his face and gasping for breath. He stretched out his hand and patted his dizzy forehead vigorously a few times before standing up against the wall and walking towards the bed.

  …

  After Su Mingan fell asleep, the hall was suddenly extremely quiet, except for the sound of the small stove making tea.

   Nuoer glanced at Lu Shu, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.

  Lu Shu didn't respond, his eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was still thinking about Su Mingan's words.

   Seeing this, Noel wanted to turn around and leave, but he heard Lu Shu say, "Wait."

   Noel turned his head not unexpectedly. He knew that he had said some bad things about Lu Shu, and this time he probably wanted to open up the conversation. There were indeed conflicts between their teams.

  The two looked at each other, Su Lin, who was making tea next to him, raised his eyes, and lowered his eyes uninterestedly.

   "What's the problem, tell me." Noel said.

   "—Do you really have authority?" Lu Shu asked, but the question was this.

   Nuoer was slightly startled, then a little speechless.

   "No. How many times have I said it." Noel would never affirm this point in his mouth. Once he affirmed it, he would be destroyed, even if he really had no authority.

"If you really have authority, people will think you are safer than Su Mingan." Lu Shu said: "At present, such a trend has appeared on the forum. After all, you don't need to dig out the bottom of the copy like Su Mingan. Secret, as long as you complete your identity mission casually, you will be able to pass the level perfectly."

"I'm not a perfect clearer." Nuoer turned his palm slowly, and the perfect clearing pattern on the back of his hand was incomplete: "There is no threat to the organizer. It is not helpful to lead human beings. As long as there is no right to make a wish, it is impossible Dominate the post-war human world. I can't replace Su Ming'an, don't worry."

   "But don't you regret it?" Lu Shu said suddenly.

"What?"

"It's the dungeon of Floating City in the Second World. You lost to Su Mingan, which made you unable to complete the perfect clearance. You are smart, powerful, and have authority. If you hadn't provided Su Mingan with the code of dawn, you would not have exposed yourself. authority." Lu Shu said, "It was because you helped Su Mingan that you were interrogated by the organizer. You could have been on your own and didn't need to assist Su Mingan, right?"

  Lu Shu's words became deeper and deeper.

  Su Lin, who was making tea next to him, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the two of them again. Three seconds later, he lowered his gaze again, pretending not to be interested in their conversation.

   "... I didn't expect you to become smarter after becoming the 'Mu team'." Nuo Er smiled, his eyes were a little sharp.

   "If you live more than ten years, you will always grow a bit." Lu Shu said.

   "It's really a little smarter." Noel stretched out his hand, slightly clamping his thumb and index finger, revealing a gap. There was no malice in the tone, just pure ridicule: "But not much."

  Lv Shu listened, expressionless.

  After the training of time, he will not be easily irritated. In fact, he knew in his heart that he didn't hate Noel, and Nour actually didn't hate him either. They were more like a bickering relationship. This relationship didn't stem from a conflict of interest or some kind of contradiction, but because of their personalities.

  The weird smell of tea and milk lingered in the air. Nuoer raised his head and glanced at the closed door on the second floor. Su Mingan was sleeping inside and could not hear his argument with Lu Shu.

  If this thorn in the team is not removed, it will definitely lead to disaster in the future. Now is the time to speak up.

   "I've been helping Su Ming'an, even assisting him...not because I'm willing, do you understand?" Noel said.

   "...Huh?" Lu Shu was taken aback.

   "Listen well—if I can really be invincible enough to be alone, I won't make friends with anyone." Noel said:

"But Su Ming'an is Su Ming'an, and I believe he has the ability to play alone. At that time, I had already lost the qualification to clear the customs perfectly. After making judgments, I thought that only by helping him and maximizing my benefits, I would always help him fight Auxiliary."

"I think helping him can maximize my goal. Only by helping him can I maintain the status of the 'second player' stably and safely. Only by helping him can I get close to the most precious thing, the 'right to wish' .”

   "If helping him is beneficial to me, of course I will help him."

"There has never been inexplicable feelings and trust in this world. The source of everything in the world comes from interests. Only when there are interests at the beginning will more and more feelings and entanglements be mixed in later. Anyone who says 'because I like it', 'because I have a good impression ’ I don’t even believe in such words.”

Noel said with a smile: "You wanted to make friends with Su Ming'an, wasn't it because... he is very powerful and can avenge you in the future, so you followed him? He dedicates everything. Only your family background, your three views, and your determination can make you judge that following him will help your emotions and interests, so you will follow him. If you were at that time When you met him in the last world, he was not the number one player, but just an ordinary player, would you go up and say you want to follow him?"

   "So you help Su Mingan for profit?" Lu Shu asked after being silent for a while.

"Not at all, at the beginning." Noel smiled, his expression softened: "Later, it was mixed with many other things, such as friendship, such as trust... Don't you too? Or, everyone in our team , that’s how we became friends.”

   "It starts with profit and ends with sincerity."

   Lu Shu stared at Nuo Er for a few seconds, and said, "...I see."

  Su Lin next to him looked up again, then lowered his head pretending not to be interested.

  Noel takes off his white gloves. Reach out to Lu Shu.

"I have been targeting you before because I think you may have other purposes." Noel said: "But now, everything you have done in the Ninth World makes me feel that you are wholeheartedly for the 'first player', So I won't target you again."

  He raised his palm slightly, showing a sunny smile: "From now on, we can become the most trusted team ally and friends without gaps, Lu Shu, do you agree?"

   Lu Shu stared fixedly at Nuo Er's outstretched hand.

After listening to Nuoer's confession, he realized that Nuoer was really different from normal people—Nuur's thinking was extremely rational, with a high level of logic and purpose, and he could even explain things like feelings very clearly. . It's just that Noel's sunny smile on the surface can cover up the coldness, making him quite friendly, making people think that he is an optimistic and cheerful angel.

  In fact, simple, passionate, bright and cheerful—if Noel is really purely this kind of person, how could he be so adaptable to the dungeon world of the underworld, and has always firmly occupied the position of the second player.

The enthusiastic little sun is only a part of him. His rationality draws on his sensibility, and at the same time magnifies his sensibility—making him act with an extremely rational attitude and make extremely emotional behaviors, making him risk his life for a future. He even sacrificed himself to save Su Ming'an.

  This kind of rationality, when it is truly manifested, will be more sincere and enthusiastic than most emotional people.

   "Okay." Lu Shu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Nuo Er, staring into the other's blue eyes: "Let's celebrate the New Year together."

  Lu Shu doesn't dislike this kind of person. Once this kind of person establishes a friendship, he won't give up easily because of changing feelings. In relationships, people like Nuo Er are the most determined.

  Noel smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked.

   "That would be great." He laughed: "We will be good friends forever."

  …

  In the room on the second floor.

  Su Mingan sat on the bed and closed the monitoring interface.

  Before, he placed two followers, Jasmine and Qingqing, in the villa. For safety reasons, he installed surveillance cameras in the hall of the villa.

  So, he listened to the entire conversation between Lu Shu and Nuo Er.

   Leaning on the bed, he stared at the black and white ceiling, his vision was filled with liquefied light, his mind buzzed constantly, and he could still hear vague whispers.

  【Asa. 】

  【…Asa. 】

  …The sequelae are gradually playing out. Emotional resonance is not an easy hurdle to pass. Even Noah and Sen died because of this, which is a pain that can almost tear the soul.

  He got up, walked to a cabinet, and opened the drawer, revealing the boxy scarlet box inside.

  His hand paused on the box, and after hesitating for three seconds, he opened it with a "click".

  The box was opened, revealing fifty roses neatly placed inside, with a layer of lustrous light on the surface, like vermilion gemstones.

  Su Mingan hugged the box, sat on the head of the bed, and stared at the box for a while.

  His eyes wandered over the box, drifted to these solid objects, and quickly drifted away.

  Finally, he dragged his gaze back and fixed on the fifty rose bloods. They were like the alluring snake fruits in the Garden of Eden. Looking at the rose blood, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his fingers pressing on the box became more and more forceful.

   With a "click", he manipulated his palm and pressed it down, closing the box.

   These are the rose blood he brought out in the Ninth World. Considering that this is a mental stabilizing potion, he personally made some and brought them out. Rose blood is a good healing item when it is not excessive, and it is naturally effective for Su Mingan's situation.

  But after hesitating for a long time, he still put the box of rose blood back.

   As a last resort, he does not want to try this drug as long as his mental state is not so incapable of action. Just for a moment just now, he remembered what his clone saw in Eagle Dog...the death of a person who had excessive blood, it was a kind of madness to smear his own blood all over the bathroom.

   "..."

  He fell on the bed, endured the whispers in his ears, and fell into a deep sleep.

  …

   Lu Shu pushed away from the room.

  This room is mainly decorated with wood, with brush calligraphy and Longguo ink paintings hanging on the wall. Dozens of short jackets and Hanfu are hung in the mahogany cabinet, and there is a pot of succulents on the window sill.

   This is Lu Shu's room on the third floor of the villa. Su Mingan's villa is big enough for many people to live here.

  Lu Shu took out a leather notebook and carefully opened it, page by page.

  There are many diaries he wrote in the notebook.

  …

  【Su Mingan and Noel went to the amusement park, they didn't call me (sticky strokes)】

  【The group photo of them in the amusement park was posted on the forum. Perhaps only someone as smart as Noel can become Su Mingan's comrade-in-arms. 】

  …

  【Seventh World Playa, Su Mingan and Luna have reached a cooperation agreement, which has nothing to do with me. 】

  【It is best if more people help him. 】

  …

  【Celebrating the new year with Lin Yin and Su Mingan, soaking in hot springs, watching fireworks, everyone is very happy (happy stick figure)】

  【No one told him that the "Daji" he drew was specially put in by us. In this way, he should be able to have a good mood. 】

  …

  【Su Mingan has joined the Pinnacle Alliance, he called me, not Nuoer (smile stick figure)】

【Very good. 】

  …

  【Forget it, when the Ninth World comes back, we can just catch up with the seventh day of the lunar new year, and we can celebrate the New Year together (sticky strokes with tongue out)】

  【I hope that I will still be alive at that time. 】

  …

  He turned to a blank page, picked up a pen, and recorded:

  【February 7th. Su Mingan said that I am very important. Noel said he would be best friends with me forever. 】

  【Very happy. 】

  【I hope everyone can survive. 】

  …
