Twenty-one floors, twenty floors, nineteen floors.

   When stepping onto the eighteenth floor, Su Mingan saw Noel.

At night, under the burning candlelight, Su Mingan saw him at a glance—wearing a white sacrificial robe with ribbons, and the golden decorative metal on the cuffs glowed brightly. Been through a lot here.

   "—Noel!" Su Mingan shouted.

  Noel pressed the guard to the ground and smiled sideways. A stream of blood slid down his forehead, staining the corners of his eyes with blush.

   "Here I come," Noel said.

  Su Mingan sent the black cat out when he arrived at the ruins. He had long believed that he could not pin his hopes on Xiao Jingsan alone, so he had been looking for the third key person—Chaoyan.

  With the cooperation of the watch, A Du, Su Mingan learned the location of the camera where Chao Yan last appeared—it was at the edge of the world. He ordered Feiniao to lead the way, and the black cats attacked wildly. They found Chaoyan in the early hours of this night.

  Finally, after contacting Zhao Yan, the black cat rushed back in time, and according to the order Su Mingan set in advance, helped Su Mingan, who had lost his memory, activate the "Dawn Immortal Life" skill to forcibly improve his mental state.

   No matter how strong the cognitive shielding method of the gods is, it still belongs to the world game and belongs to the category of debuff skills. However, the buff skill of "Eternal Dawn" could compete with it. After activating this skill, Su Mingan quickly recovered his basic cognition, and relied on his own strength to pull himself out of the quagmire.

  He has long been prepared to deal with difficulties.

   It's just that Nuo Er's arrival was unexpected by Su Mingan. Su Mingan didn't know what Chaoyan was going to the edge of the world when he arranged everything, and he didn't know that she would die at three o'clock in the morning. He thought that it was Chaoyan himself who came to save him at this time.

   "Nuel? Why are you here? Where's Zhao Yan? She's really dead?" Su Mingan supported the wall, looking down at Nuoer through the height difference of the stairs. Now he can't be sure whether Noel is true or not, and he can't be sure whether he is completely out of cognitive control.

  Noel leaned on a blue rose cane, pierced the forehead of a guard with one stick, turned to look at Su Mingan, smiled and said:

   "It's me, I'm real, trust me... Su Mingan."

"Chaoyan is dead. She was killed by the tentacle monster by the sea, and she failed to open the passage to other worlds. Therefore, she asked me to rescue you. Even if the control mark on your body cannot be lifted, I will take you away." rescue."

   "The gods were led down by me, and the movement on the first floor was caused by Mo Yan and the others."

   "I know that you must have experienced many hallucinations these days, including that you are likely to be confused by many cognitions now. Many things you see may be false, but... at this time, I am real."

  Su Mingan frowned slightly, he didn't dare to "recognize" Noel in front of him. Noel's appearance was totally out of his plans.

  Noel quickly cleared the guards on this floor and walked up the stairs. He stabilized the crooked brim of his hat, and the blood rolled down the stairs, like red roses blooming on his body.

He walked towards Su Mingan quickly, smelling the blood in the air, his blue eyes turned red for a moment, and his eyes were dangerous for a moment, then he suddenly smiled and said: "Su Mingan, you can't be sure if I'm real, but I can Make sure you are real, the smell of blood of you, a qualified person, is really very recognizable."

  The movement below the floor gradually subsided, and the gods were about to return.

  Su Mingan said: "...There is a piano room on the twelfth floor, we can leave through the window there."

  His fingers have been clenched tightly, and he can pinch the space vibration in seconds at any time. If Nuoer's answer is half wrong, the space vibration will be thrown out immediately.

  However, Noel smiled lightly and gave Su Mingan a hug.

"…OK."

  Su Mingan's fingers relaxed slightly.

  —The code words are matched.

   Mention the piano, give a hug—always the highest priority confirming code word.

This is a code word that only they know, this is a character that can't be simulated by endless illusions, this is a reality that even gods can't shape, a conversation buried in countless discarded archives—all the billions that are either true or false Among the tens of thousands of people, Su Mingan only dared to confirm the existence of Noel.

  In Nuoer's smiling expression, Su Mingan said in a low voice:

   "Noel—I invite you to the tower."

  The blue barrier spread, covering them under the barrier. At this time, the **** appeared at the bottom of the corridor. He raised his head and looked at the two of them calmly.

  A sharp white light emerged from the hands of the gods and bombarded the barrier of the tower, but the barrier was extremely stable and did not stir up any waves.

  Invitation from the High Tower—It seems to be just an inconspicuous mandatory 1v1 duel skill without any attribute bonus, but in a sense, it is the skill with the highest personality that Su Mingan has mastered. Just because it is a "rule-based" skill, no matter what, as long as the tower invitation is established, the 1v1 duel between the two parties cannot be interfered by anything. Unless the enemy also has skills that override this rule.

  The gods stand outside the barrier and cannot enter.

   "Boom-boom-boom!"

  The sound of violent bombing rang out, and it was the first time that Su Mingan saw the gods attack. In the past, the gods were gentle and calm, and even if they shot, they were limited to pinching Su Mingan's wrist, but this time it was completely different.

  Pure white brilliance rose from behind the gods and condensed into characters that Su Mingan couldn't understand.

-What's this? Rule attack?

  Su Mingan looked at the overwhelming white brilliance. Just looking at it, I feel a sense of coercion like a waterfall hanging upside down and a tsunami coming. Under these countless words and patterns, tiny human beings are like ants facing the waves of water.

  However, these waves of light were blocked from the barrier of the tower invitation, unable to move forward.

  Su Mingan roughly estimated that if the gods make a move like this, the combat power can soar to more than 6000 points. The previous bionic bodies of the gods were all relatively weak individuals.

   "Su Mingan, step back a little." Noel said.

  Su Mingan nodded.

  He knew why Noel had come, and Noel had come here not to take him away—but to kill him.

   Nuoer knew the news that Chaoyan was dead, and Nuoer also knew that Su Mingan would not be satisfied with such a result. As early as the moment Chaoyan died, Noel understood that if the time he saw was still running normally, and if the result of Chaoyan's death was not reversed, it meant that Su Mingan had not been able to achieve self-death so far.

  —So, he needs to come.

  Su Mingan let go of his hand, ending the hug brought by this code word. He looked at Noel calmly. The blue rose cane in Noel's hand had a sharp point, which was very suitable for ending a person's life.

  Under the faint candlelight, Noel's pupils were still as blue as the sea.

  The barrier that the tower invites is like a swaying water wave, and no one can interfere in this peaceful world. Su Mingan thought of the phrase "to live to death" for a moment, and he felt a peaceful sense of departure in his heart.

  He turned to the death given by Noel for the next life.

  Noel held the blue rose cane tightly, and he was about to send Su Mingan to the next journey.

  "...Rule-based skills?" The **** stood outside the barrier, looking at the unbreakable tower invitation barrier: "...Yes, you do have such skills. Then this time, you will be considered successful."

  Su Mingan heard "this time" keenly.

  Before when he was unconscious, he also heard the conversation between the gods and Xiao Jingsan.

  …

  【"Yes. So, your struggle failed this time. Su Mingan can't get out of my control, he belongs to me." The gods laughed. 】

  【"—Before the world is reset, can I ask you to set him free?" Xiao Jingsan said. 】

【"—You should know that the winner of the game is entitled to all the loot, and I will not let him go. Moreover, I am not going to reset the world this time. I am very satisfied with this worldline." The voice of the gods. 】

  …

  Su Mingan looked at the gods. The invitation from the tower lasted for three minutes, and he still had three minutes to think before he died.

  He believes that it is impossible for the gods to know the death rollback. If the gods knew about it, then the organizer would probably know about it too, and Su Mingan would no longer be able to stand here.

  So, obviously, the "reset world line" mentioned by the gods did not refer to Su Mingan.

  Su Mingan quickly judged calmly—it should be that in the tenth world, someone has a skill similar to resetting and can reset the world line. This kind of reset can only be limited to the world, and cannot affect the organizers and audience, just like Jiushen reset reincarnation in the eighth world. Although the time in the dungeon is reset, the time outside the dungeon is running normally, and players can remember this past.

  So, in the tenth world, who has the ability to reset the world line?

  Su Mingan quickly figured out who it was—

Own.

  The gods once said that "self-harm is prohibited". At that time, Su Mingan almost thought that the death retracement had been exposed, but later he realized that it was impossible to be exposed, otherwise the organizer would have come to the door.

   It can be inferred from this that the gods believe that it is not Su Mingan who has the ability to reset the world line, so who could it be?

   Obvious.

  —is the character possessed by Su Mingan.

  This character whose true background is not yet known, who has the dual identities of a qualified person and a heterogeneous person, and who has inherited the emotions and memories of fifty fire passers-by.

  The character possessed by Su Ming'an has the ability to roll back after death.

  At this time, Su Mingan has two death rollback powers - his own death rollback, and this character's death rollback.

   "..."

  Su Mingan suppressed his beating heart. Although it was only a few words from the gods, he quickly released the result.

  The character Su Mingan is possessed by doesn't know the name yet, so I will use "Xiao Su" instead.

  Judging from the dialogue between Xiao Jingsan and the gods, they can all retain the memory in Xiao Su's death file.

  So, even if Nuoer kills Su Mingan, the gods don't care, because even if Xiao Su dies and rolls back, he will still be under the eyes of the gods. The gods will retain the memory after Xiao Su returns to the file, and the time outside the tenth world is also running normally, and the players will also remember that the world has been reset once.

   In other words, it should be such a level—

   Su Mingan’s death replay > organizers and players > people like God and Xiao Jingsan who can retain memories > Xiao Su’s death replay > people in the tenth world

   Those arranged in front can cover the time and memory of everyone behind.

  For example, once Su Mingan triggers the death replay, including the organizer and players, the gods, Xiao Su, the tenth world and even all creatures, will be recalled without retaining memory.

   But once Xiao Su triggers the death rollback, only those who are behind him, such as people in the tenth world, will forget their memories. And those in front of him, such as the gods, the organizers and players, and even Su Mingan himself, will remember that they have been backtracked once. The time of the organizer and the audience cannot be traced back by Xiao Su.

  —Obviously so.

  When Su Mingan's eyes met Noel's, Nuoer quickly understood what Su Mingan was thinking. Under Su Mingan's line of sight, Noel nodded slowly.

   "I think... your deduction is correct." Noel said.

  Cold sweat rolled down Su Mingan's forehead.

  So, the most critical and most dreaded question comes soon—

  Once Su Mingan dies in the tenth world, will it trigger Xiao Su's death reversion, or Su Mingan's own death reversion?

  Su Ming'an's death recovery is undoubtedly much higher than Xiao Su's death recovery, and can even include the organizers. But which death retracement is triggered first, exactly—what is used to determine it?

  At this time, Su Mingan had to trigger his own death rollback, not Xiao Su's death rollback. Otherwise, the time outside the copy will not be reversed, only the time inside the copy will be traced back. The gods will remember this past, and even if Su Mingan reverts, the gods will quickly restrain him and cut off the possibility of him committing suicide again.

   Only when Su Mingan's own death rollback is triggered, the gods will be recalled, and no one will remember this past.

  Under the azure blue barrier, Noel was very quiet. He patiently waited for Su Mingan to think. The problem Su Mingan was thinking was too complicated to convey in code words, so he just waited and trusted.

   "...I'm a little scared." Su Mingan said.

  He was a little scared... If it wasn't his own death rollback that was triggered this time, it would be very difficult for him to find another chance to die, and everything would be irreversible.

  Noel shook his head, he didn't say anything, and didn't interfere with Su Mingan's thinking. He polished the blade on Blue Rose's staff until it was shining.

   "...I didn't realize it until now..." Su Mingan said.

  ...It was only then that I realized that there were actually two death rollbacks on my body.

  ... Only then did I realize such deep fear.

   "You have noticed it very quickly, faster than me. I just noticed it when you said it just now." Noel said: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are smarter than most people."

  They were playing charades, but they could understand each other's meaning.
