First Player

Chapter 849: eight hundred and forty seven

 Chapter 849 Chapter 847·“His lover.”

Su Mingan went to many places.

 The changes in Praia are subtle but pervasive.

The tavern is no longer as dark as before. Due to the strict control of the royal city, there is little human trade anymore.

 Under the city wall, the soul hunting registration office was still overcrowded.

On the hillside, the people who died in the Kraken siege set up tombstones here. Dark tombstones are scattered throughout the wilderness, and people come to lay flowers all the time.

The Church of Light still stands in Fountain Square, and many people go in and out to pray for the gods of Yunshang City. Although Yunshang City has been shattered, some people still devoutly believe that the gods just left the city and are still protecting them somewhere.

Su Mingan also saw many familiar people.

 Since Lele never married, Lele’s mother and Lele have always lived together. The aroma of Teni tea came from the window, attracting many customers.

 When Su Mingan asked, Lele said that she once met a man when she was young. That man saved her grandmother Garde and the whole of Praia. Since then, she suddenly didn't want to get married. She felt it was better to devote all her career to Praia.

"I live a happy life, that's enough. It doesn't matter if my neighbors point fingers at me. I don't think I have to marry anyone and have children in my life." Lele raised the basket in his hand: "Guest, Would you like a cup of tea?"

"I do not have money…"

"It doesn't matter, I invited you." Lele smiled honestly: "You remind me of when I was young. This cup of tea is my invitation to you. The scenery in Praia is beautiful. I wish you smooth sailing in your future journey. Have a safe journey!”

Su Mingan took the tea, thanked him and left.

He saw the female pirate Elena, who is now a wealthy businessman in Praia. As an experienced captain, you can thrive in the waves of maritime trade.

 He saw Kassan and Xiaona, who were living in the soul tribe gathering place. Although the range of actions is not large, they seem to be living happily. Love has become the most perfect additive in their lives, and a baby is learning to talk.

 He saw a white-haired old man with a cane in his hand, who looked like an English gentleman. The old man stood under the shade of the locust trees in the outer city, staring at the lively flow of people in Praia, with a kind and peaceful expression.

When Su Mingan passed by the old man, the old man seemed to feel something and said softly:

  “...are you back?”

The voice was hoarse, but full of expectation. The old man held a pure white mask in his hand. He seemed to have been waiting under the tree for a long time, waiting for someone to come back.

“…” Su Mingan didn’t respond and walked away slowly.

The old man stood quietly under the shade of the tree, straightening his top hat. He raised his hand and compared the pure white mask on his hand with Su Mingan's back.

"Although the faces are different, the breaths are similar." The old man said softly: "...Welcome back next time, this is your world."

Su Mingan went to the royal city.

Around the royal city, sophisticated electrical equipment is being produced. It seems that Praia is trying to produce electric steam. Presumably, a more prosperous life is not far away.

 In the royal city, there is a new king who was elected by the electoral system. She is discussing foreign trade issues with the ministers. After the storm disappeared, the island trade of Praia was in a state of rapid development.

"The ships of the Art Empire are about to arrive. The batch of Art Stones that have been counted in the treasury today will be distributed to the soul hunters within three days. The safety of the civilians must be protected." The queen looked majestic and kind, and Every word and deed is taken into consideration for the people.

Su Mingan did not disturb the new queen. He covered the space and left quietly.

 In all the corridors and art galleries of the royal city, the portraits of Princess Tulip have been smashed, and people are trying to erase all traces of Princess Tulip.

When Su Mingan walked past the city wall, he heard the sound on the city wall.

"Everyone, today the Art Empire will send the Pearl of the Sea for trade. We must protect the safety of the Queen and cannot slack off, do you understand?"

The strong sunshine in Praia shines on their golden armor, the swords on their waists, their tall and straight postures, and their firm eyes, all showing that they are qualified knights of the royal city.

The team members shouted:

“Captain, we will defend the Queen to the death and will not allow the Soul Clan to take advantage of her!”

Su Mingan looked at the heroic young people on the city walls. He stood there for a moment, the sea breeze blowing his black hair.

 Three seconds later, he raised his hand, covered the space and left silently.

 …

 As the evening approached, Su Mingan subdued several robbers on the street and got some gold and silver. I bought two bottles of wine at a roadside tavern.

 He arrived at his final destination, the hillside.

Tombstones are like a forest. There are tombstones of different heights all over the mountains and plains, made of stone, wood, covered with cloth, or even just a crooked cross, a tomb, and a few wilting flowers.

 Under the blood-red sunset, the words on a standing stone pillar were clear. It stands at the front of the hillside, like an oath for the war dead:

【we hope,】

  【There will be no need for raging wars, and the pain and suffering will disappear in the wind. A world without war could be here. 】

   In this scarred land, ‘our’ souls will smile. 】

 …

 Everywhere you look up, you'll see a dense collection of names and years.

Su Mingan poured the wine in his hand and sprinkled it in front of a tombstone. In front of the stone monument, the golden knight's medal shines brightly.

He wove flowers he picked along the way into bracelets and placed them in front of a girl's tombstone. The poem on the monument is still clear, and many wild flowers have bloomed around the land.

He passed by the tombs of many soul hunters and saw many former names - Clifford, Eske, Kalocha, Deputy Minister Doya, and S-class soul hunter Christie. Ed.

The lifespan of a soul hunter is very difficult to last. Almost none of them die, either due to excessive soul trauma or from tragic night battles. Even though it was Duo Ya who was once young and beautiful, Su Mingan still saw her name on the tombstone. She had intended to make Ying her boyfriend back then, but when Su Ming'an came back this time, she was no longer here.

Su Mingan looked at these cold names, opened a pot of wine, sprinkled the clear wine in front of their tombs, stood up and left.

 He finally put himself in his shoes and realized the extreme realism of these copies. Even if he leaves, Praia's time keeps moving forward day and night. This is a civilization saved by his hand.

 The setting sun approaches the hillside. He walked through the vast and spectacular tomb forest and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The blood-red sunlight gradually shrank into a straight line, and the figure was like a dividing line, dividing the sky and the earth into two halves. Against the background of the setting sun, the man and the setting sun gradually merged.

Su Mingan didn’t see this person for a whole day, and now he finally found him.

 “Su Lin.” Su Mingan shouted.

Su Lin didn't look up. He seemed to have been standing here for a long time, with some locust flowers falling on his shoulders.

His eyes were bright, different from the previous sloppy look. There were actual reflections of flowers and leaves in his eyes, instead of a constant dark color.

He just stood here, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth here. The sun and sea breeze favored his figure, and even the wild flowers, grass, and earth at his feet were connected to his still figure.

If you are not aware of it, you may not even be able to see his figure. You can only look past him and see the sunset and the earth over the mountains and plains.

 At this moment, Su Mingan's breathing paused slightly. What he seemed to see was not an independent person, but the embodiment of an entire island civilization. There is a heart-stopping sense of harmony and integration between that figure and the setting sun and forest of steles over the mountains and plains.

 “Su Lin.” Su Mingan took a few steps closer. He saw the light in Su Lin's eyes. He knew why Su Lin's eyes were shining.

 That’s love.

 The love in his eyes has transcended the boundaries of human species and will not be fixed on any one person. It has been with him forever in the long years and changing times.

Su Lin’s lover is Praia. When he meets his lover again, it is like being in harmony with this love again and inseparable from his soul.

Su Mingan waited for a while before Su Lin turned his head.

 “Go back.” Su Lin said, her voice a little hoarse.

"Have you finished everything in Praia?" Su Mingan said: "My power-holder skills can only allow us to temporarily stop here. After we go back, we have to wait until the next break before we can come back."

 “Well, let’s go back.” Su Lin said.

Su Mingan saw the tombstone in front of Su Lin. There were some flowers and rice wine in front of the tombstone. It seemed that Su Lin had just put them on it. As the last ray of sunset disappears and the sky gradually dims, the sunlight on the tombstone is like the dividing line between yin and yang, gradually fading from left to right.

Through the sunlight, a line of small words is reflected on the tombstone.

 【Inhabitant Garder Storrance (287-368)】

 …

Su Mingan suddenly felt sad.

 He knows. Decades have passed and it is unlikely that very old people are still alive.

Su Lin stared at the clear rice wine in front of the tomb, squatted down, smoothed the petals of the wilted daisies, and placed them neatly in front of the tomb.

 “She is as old as me this year.”

 “…Let’s go, Su Mingan.”

 …

 【20:00 p.m., Area 12 of the Lord God World, Core Area, Central Joint Conference Hall】

The red carpet starts from the door and extends all the way to the square portal. A large banner was hung in front of the door of the Central Joint Conference Hall, which read [Warmly welcome all perfect passers to attend the meeting and discuss the future of mankind].

 On both sides of the road were staff and buses responsible for welcoming guests. The cars were bright and decorated with flowers.

"On the afternoon of February 7, the Human Self-Salvation Alliance announced the 'Rules Deduction for Perfect Clearances'. Minister Li Jianyi pointed out in the document that the wishes of perfect clearances may follow three fixed principles. The rules of the universe are self-contained, and the upper limit of human beings may be It’s been locked.”

"On the morning of February 8, Dr. Xu Changying of the World Independent Society issued a report, believing that the rule of 'all perfect passers can make wishes' follows the 'conformal cyclic universe', and this rule is likely to be related to the 'Return of Poincaré' connect."

"On the afternoon of February 8, Abner, the leader of the Alliance Watch Group, gave a speech, pointing out that all perfect passers in the human race should unite and work together to sound the clarion call for common progress, gather positive and friendly energy, and complete a mission. The perfect answer to the world game of the year.”

"On the morning of February 9, the Lighthouse Alliance claimed that it would continue to safeguard the best interests of all perfect passers and the Peak Alliance so that the rights and interests of every peak player are not infringed. They claimed that if a conflict of wishes occurs, they will use the Lighthouse's Desire comes first and suppresses other factors that might lead to the demise of the human race.”

“On the afternoon of February 9, the NPC Protection Association issued a statement. President Buz declared that they support Su Lin’s action of destroying the villa and believe that all entertainment buildings should be demolished to return mankind to a wartime state and isolate all entertainment activities.”

  “February 10th…”

 In the conference hall, the radio broadcasts the news.

 Such major events, such as a certain force issuing a statement, a certain alliance issuing an important report, etc., happen almost every day. The World Forum also has a special news area dedicated to these documents of human internal organizations.

Now, the joint meeting of all perfect passers has begun, and these news are pouring into people's ears.

The live broadcast has already started, and the popularity of the official live broadcast room of the United Group has reached 800 million.

 Since the end of the ninth world, the number of perfect passers has dropped again, with more than 60 people remaining.

 When Su Mingan arrived, the whole place was silent.

Lights converged in front of Su Ming'an, and all the greeters, service staff, recording staff, drivers, soldiers, and adventurers looked this way. As if with a "click", an invisible spotlight shone on this place.
