First Player

Chapter 997: Nine hundred and ninety-five

Su Mingan opened his eyes, and in front of him was Chao Yan lying on the beach.

 …Returned.

 The return has reached such a close time point, almost close to the death line.

Su Mingan turned his head and saw Su Wensheng very close at hand. Su Wensheng put his right hand into a fist against his chin, as if he was thinking, his thick eyelashes were slightly drooped, and his pupils looked a little dim.

 “What do you want me to do?” Su Wensheng met Su Mingan’s gaze: “Chaoyan just defeated the tentacle monster, why don’t you cross the edge of the world?”

Su Mingan said: "What are you thinking about?"

 While speaking, his fingers touched the palm of his hand.

Su Wensheng lowered his eyes, as if he had seen through Su Ming'an's immediate death rule, and remained silent. He kept looking down at the sea, seeming to be thinking about something.

Su Mingan drove the wheelchair to turn around. He already knew from the last episode that Su Wensheng wanted to kill him. So this week he would take Chaoyan back to recover from his injuries, call Xiao Jamel over, and cross the edge of the world with complete preparations to prevent being stabbed in the back by Su Wensheng.

As soon as Su Mingan turned around, Su Wensheng's cold voice came:

“—You really don’t worry about me retaining the memory in the retrieval.”

There was a strong sound of wind behind me.

Su Mingan was not surprised and immediately activated the Ring of Time skill.

 …

  【Ring of Time (Purple Level, lv.8):

 Special skill (time loop): Consume mana, select a space within a certain range around you, and return everything in that space to the state three hours ago. (This skill cannot be used on living creatures)

 The people currently recorded in the Ring of Time: Tredia, Xiaobi, Yaowen, Noah, Sen Kelstia, Beilisel, Linguang T-0321]

 …

This was the first time Su Mingan used this skill in battle. For a moment, he felt a dark blue color filling his vision. He was instantly in the sea, and the golden sand around him was covered in sea water.

 —Where he was three hours ago, the tide was rising.

The state of all the items around him was reversed by time, the dry sand became wet, and the sea water swallowed up everything on the beach, including Su Mingan and Su Wensheng on the shore in an instant. Black cats and white cats suddenly jumped out and carried Chaoyan away like a fire brigade.

 Su Wensheng’s moon arc was deflected by the water waves and passed by Su Mingan. In an instant, Su Mingan activated the full speed of the wheelchair, and white steam suddenly spurted out, following the waves and diving into the direction of the edge of the world.

Su Ming'an had already expected that Xiao Su's reversion would be triggered. Since both the gods and Xiao Jingsan could retain their memories in Xiao Su's reversion, it was not surprising that Su Wensheng could retain his memory. As long as the situation is not irreversible, triggering Xiao Su's reversal is more beneficial to him, because he does not have to explain how he learned the information from the previous week.

Xiao Su's rollback is a weapon given to him by the dungeon to clear the level. Otherwise, the difficulty of the tenth world would be too difficult to pass.

He held up the wheelchair barrier and shouted to Su Wensheng who was chasing after him: "Why on earth do you want to kill me. Since you want me to become stronger, you shouldn't stop me."

Su Wensheng’s voice came through the deep sea: “You seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding.”

“I want you to become stronger because I want you to kill the Alien King. If you don’t listen to me and insist on rejecting the power given by the gods, then I will kill you.”

They chased and escaped at a fixed distance. Under the full speed sprint of the wheelchair, Su Mingan saw the endless water waves dragging backwards, and were shattered by Su Wensheng's sharp arc.

"If you insist on acting arbitrarily, then give me the Eye of the Past on your body and cut off all the white tentacles on your body. I will complete the next actions for you." Su Wensheng said coldly: "I am right You don’t have any good feelings, so don’t be pretentious.”

Su Wensheng's words have made it very clear. In his eyes, Su Mingan is just a tool to kill the alien king. If Su Mingan disobeys, Su Wensheng will kill Su Mingan.

"I have heard your words from a certain Yunshangcheng Yuan." Su Mingan raised his hand with difficulty, pointed it at Su Wensheng, and activated the power-in-power skill.

 …

 “Ding dong!”

  【The person in power failed to use the skill. 】

 …

Su Mingan frowned—the favorability level was full, the other party was not a human being, and the other party had no favorability level. Which of these three conditions will make the skills of those in power fail, does Su Wensheng satisfy?

The sharp arc of the moon struck, Su Mingan held up the wheelchair barrier, and quickly raised his hand to build a lamb barrier. Layers of transparent defenses were set up behind him, and he only heard a "squeaking" sound like a stone breaking glass. With the sound, the barriers were being destroyed layer by layer.

Until the moment when the arc of moon scraped onto the wheelchair, Su Mingan rushed to the edge of the world, and white light covered him.

 …

  After a short period of blurred vision, Su Mingan and his wheelchair overturned on the ground. The scorching sunlight pierced his eyes, and he could not see the scene around him clearly for a while.

 According to Chaoyan, if you cross the edge of the world, you can reach a new world, so here is...

He felt that his stiff limbs were regaining their flexibility, and the control mark planted by the gods on him was finally eliminated.

 He slowly raised his body, like a frozen man.

“…Young man, young man?” There was a cry in his ear, and someone seemed to be helping him stand up.

Su Mingan rubbed his eyes, and his senses gradually returned. He gradually saw the scene in front of him clearly - an old man wearing a brown and black felt hat, holding a pipe, wearing a light gray woolen coat, and holding a metal staff about one meter long. He has deep eyebrows and dark brown pupils, and is about sixty years old.

Behind the old man is a golden wheat field. As the wind and waves blow by, the wheat ears collide in the sun, like a golden tide that is gradually scattered.

Su Mingan was speechless for a moment, and then a name blurted out: "—Morgan Maxey?"

"Eh? Do you, a young man, know me?" The old man said in surprise: "You suddenly appeared in my wheat field and you could call me by my name. Could it be that you are a knight from Fort Court City who came to ask for help? But I heard that there It has already fallen due to the war..."

Su Mingan’s heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest.

 “Borrow it!” Su Mingan got into the wheelchair and rushed towards the familiar direction in his memory.

"Hey, you young man, there are wars going on all over the world now, don't run around..." Morgan called a few times.

Su Mingan quickly arrived at Baoting City.

 However, this originally peaceful city has become devastated. Thick smoke floated in the sky, dyeing the blue into smoky gray. Fire and ruins filled every corner, and he could barely recognize the city.

Based on the images in his memory, Su Mingan could barely identify the lake he had visited with Alice. The lake was full of vermilion, whether it was filled with blood or poison. As he walked along the streets, the streets were strewn with corpses of those who had died of plague and war.

 There were some survivors huddled together in a dark alley, watching him warily.

Small characters kept appearing in the lower right corner of Su Mingan's field of vision.

 …

 Wilder: Who is that young man? New soldier? 】

  【Dana: He is sitting on a very novel device. He must be another guy who comes to rob civilians. The looting around the ruins will never stop, this is a Pandora's box...]

Cromway: Mother, when can we have bread? 】

  【Tony: I'm so cold, so cold... (sound of fabric rubbing)】

  【Nora: Many people died yesterday, go pick up their bodies, and maybe a few pieces of moldy bread...】

 …

Su Mingan followed the familiar route in his memory, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at the street intersection that he remembered most.

The ceramic bird still stands on the door plate, the crisp sound of wind chimes comes from the window, and the ivy covers the wall, with faint green vines hanging down. There are several paintings on the door, all of which Alice has painted.

 —She really exists.

 —In this world, everything is real.

Su Mingan stepped forward and accidentally kicked a corpse. The body lay on the side of the road with an iron spear stuck in its chest.

 When he lowered his head, he saw small words jumping out:

 …

  【Matthew (age: 36) (deceased)

 Occupation: Vegetable vendor

Character: Simple and hard-working

˜Strength value: half a star

 Intelligence value: half a star

 Skills: Medium planting, vegetable selling skills

 Comprehensive evaluation: E

 Favorability: 40 (friendly)

 Note: An ordinary vegetable vendor who likes strong liquor and growing vegetables. He was killed by enemy soldiers because he was protecting his children. 】

 …

Su Mingan closed Matthew's eyes and opened the door of Alice's house.

The door was unlocked, but it was covered with dust. It looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time. Su Mingan opened the closet, and Alice's Bihe skirt was still hanging in the closet. The headdresses, clothes, and shoes that he had taken her to buy were all neatly stacked in the cabinet.

The small dolls, decorations, and stickers also remain in their original positions. How Su Mingan decorated them in the game, they are all in the same position here.

There was a foul smell coming from the kitchen. Su Mingan looked into the kitchen and saw a stack of rotten spring cakes on the table.

   …”

Su Mingan stood at the door of the kitchen, silent.

He knew yesterday that when he returned to the game, the war would destroy the town. But he didn't expect that he would not come here through the Dream Patrol helmet, but actually step into this world. Everything is exactly as it is in the game, and nothing has been changed.

It turns out that in another world, there really is a girl named "Alice". She grew up with him across a long distance until she grew up.

  …Hand over the Eye of the Old Day, Su Ming’an.”

 A cold voice came from the door.

Su Mingan turned around. Su Wensheng was standing at the door, blocking the sunlight outside. A shadow was cast on Su Mingan's face, and his eyes were lowered.

     Su Mingan: It was obviously you who paid a huge price to pull me over and ask me to save the world. Now you want me to accept the power given by the gods. 】

                                                     ‖                                              ‖ by Su Wensheng: It's very simple, because I have now discovered that the gods are trustworthy, so you'd better cooperate with the gods, otherwise the probability of you defeating the alien king is very low. 】

 Su Mingan: The winning rate is very low, but not impossible, as long as the winning rate is not 0%. 】

 He raised a finger:

 Su Mingan: For me, the winning rate is 100%. 】

 Su Wensheng (sneering): Sorry, you can't convince me. In my opinion, you have the greatest success rate if you cooperate with the gods. If you can't do it, then give me your Eye of the Old and replace it with mine. 】

  【Su Mingan: You can't convince me either. Because I am a player, and from the perspective of a player, I absolutely cannot give my hope to the gods, nor can I easily pass the level just by obeying the gods. Therefore, no matter how you emphasize to me that the gods are trustworthy, I will not follow your instructions. of doing. I'll do it at my own pace. 】

 Su Wensheng: So none of us can convince anyone. Even though we have the same goal, we are all trying to kill the alien king. But I can't convince you, and you won't trust me. 】

  【Su Mingan: Of course, we are this kind of people. 】

  【Su Wensheng: Then I will kill you. 】

 Su Mingan: I have a reply, and you know it. 】

  【Su Wensheng: -I know, so I will kill you until you give in! 】

 …

Until this moment, Su Mingan realized that this Su Wensheng did have similarities with him.

 Neither of them will give their hope to the other party.

 —But how could Su Mingan obey the gods?

 I approached the gods once before, and was marked with a control mark, almost overturning my car. No matter what Su Wensheng tried to persuade him this time, Su Mingan would not take the shortcut of the gods. In the world game, if you pursue a small profit for a while, it will lead to a big mistake that is irreparable in the end.

 “Don’t fight here!” Su Mingan realized this.

However, Su Wensheng did not care about Alice's home, and a strong cold wind suddenly broke out from his body.

 “Boom—!”

A violent explosion sounded, and the energy erupted from Su Wensheng's body flipped the roof over. In an instant, the lighthouse statue on the table, the doll on the bed, the detective's ancient books and newspapers - were all lifted into the sky by the air current.

 …

                           eloquent detective, I bought this lighthouse statue for you. Can I put it here? 】

 …

The tables and chairs turned into splattering sawdust, and the green lotus leaf skirt was blown up from the closet and torn into rags.

 …

                                eloquent detective, you don’t have to buy me such a nice dress, you’ve sold all your cigarettes...]

 …

 The pictures on the wall were torn to pieces, and the flour and black tea leaves in the kitchen were turned into powder.

 …

                              eloquent detective, I bought flour and black tea leaves today. I want to try making you some spring cakes to eat. What do you think of the black tea? Will you like it...]

 …

 Everything familiar and in the game was torn apart by the strong wind. This warm home with countless memories was instantly turned into ruins.

Su Ming'an had a lamb barrier built around him. He stared at Su Wensheng with extremely cold eyes.

"Do you know why Mizushima Kawakora is willing to cooperate with the gods?" Su Wensheng's hair fluttered in the strong wind, and dark blue waves seemed to rise around him.

 His shadow was lengthened by the sunlight among the flying gravel and bricks.

 “Because she wants a golden ring?” Su Mingan said coldly.

“Because the gods promised her to have a ‘sister’ again.” Su Wensheng said.

“What an unsurprising answer.” Su Mingan held the space with his right hand to vibrate, took a few steps back, and avoided the photo of Alice on the ground.
