[…I grew up in Praia and saw a lot of things. 】

​

[Many people, since they were born, have not become an independent 'person', and they do not regard themselves as people. 】

​

[A symbol, a name, a mark engraved on a stone tablet. The sacrificed soul hunters understood themselves in this way, like firewood and firewood. From the moment they fired the first shot, they regarded themselves as a brick of this land. 】

​

[The princess said, you only treat us as mechanical gears, and treat us as something that can be used, swords or spears in your hands, and do not regard us as independent creatures...]

​

[...But Captain, you don't seem to be the same—it seems that I have become a soul that can communicate on an equal footing in your eyes. 】

​

【…】

​

[Then I gradually discovered,]

​

[—It turns out that I am also a 'human'. 】

​

……

​

[npc (Xie Lude) favorability: 95 (stand together through thick and thin)]

​

……

​

Looking at the number in front of him.

​

Su Ming'an's eyes slowly moved down.

​

In front of him, the young man who raised his head with extremely earnest eyes stared at him with great concentration.

​

The almost crazy barrage floated past from the upper right corner.

​

They are discussing fiercely:

​

[Is this really an NPC? You call this the 'self-aware NPC'? 】

​

[But it is indeed the first NPC that I have seen since watching the live broadcast and said that it wants to become a player. It is quite rare. 】

​

[In this way, buddy, we can also be called NPCs. Our personality is 'an NPC who thinks he is a world gamer', I think this is very reasonable. 】

​

[What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about? I think it's pretty good. It doesn't matter if he is an NPC or a player, wouldn't it be good to be a helper? 】

​

[But, everyone. If NPCs can become players and players can become NPCs, does that mean that we are no different from these NPCs? 】

​

[—Of course it is different! ! ! 】

​

[Everyone should remember that these dungeon worlds have all been copied. There are many NPCs, but we are the only one! 】

​

[When did this live broadcast room become a philosophy live broadcast room, I just came here, can anyone who is handsome can explain it? 】

​

[—Thinking this way, everyone, to get rid of the distinction between players and NPCs that we currently recognize—then the ‘world game’ itself, can it be used as an independent dungeon world? Is it possible for us players who claim to be free in various dungeon worlds to be the 'npc' of this largest independent dungeon world? 】

​

[Indeed, why do you think that we are one-dimensional higher than these NPCs, and why do you think that we cannot be products defined by 'personal design' and 'system'? Why do you think we are the only one? Maybe there is something that is one-dimensional higher than us where we can't see it, and dominates our "personality" and behavior in a special form, but we don't know anything about it? 】

​

[Are you kidding me? I'm living here thinking, my thoughts are clear, can I not know that someone is controlling my thoughts? 】

​

[Then isn't Xie Luther the same? How does he know if something else is manipulating his mind? 】

​

[You can't argue this, anyway, I know that I must be an independent person, and there must be no thing that can control my words...]

​

【…】

​

The discussion on the barrage was extremely heated.

​

At first, it was just a normal discussion, and later it gradually turned into a battle of gangsters and trolls.

​

The barrage in the live broadcast room was densely packed, like snowflakes flying up, no one knew who was arguing with whom, and some people were already scolding and going to make an offline appointment.

​

Many people said that they would go to the World Forum to discuss this situation.

​

——Because they were compared to NPCs, this group of people felt extremely angry and could not wait to pull this possibility away from them immediately.

​

"..."

​

Su Ming'an withdrew his gaze and looked at the system taskbar.

​

At the moment when Shelude made a request to him, he heard a "ding dong".

​

……

​

"Ding dong!"

​

[Character change detected... arranging the world line...]

​

"Ding dong!"

​

[You have unlocked the Tier 3 player quest, character plot. 】

​

[In this type of task, you can influence the actions of a specific character through arbitrary actions, so that the other party achieves different endings. 】

​

[When the opponent reaches the ending, you will get the task reward. 】

​

[Character plot missions are equivalent to side missions with higher rewards, and have nothing to do with the progress of perfect customs clearance. 】

​

……

​

[You have triggered the mission, character plot type]

​

【Did you choose to give Noria's red rose to Sheruther?】

​

[(The ending of the character Shelud: he·immortal/te·endless road/ne·decay, your actions will affect the ending he can achieve.)]

​

[Quest reward: No matter which of the three endings is achieved, the second skill of the golden equipment "Long Stay" will be activated. 】

​

……

​

Looking at the series of quest prompts that jumped out, and then looking at She Luther who was kneeling on his knees...

​

Su Ming'an suddenly felt that the word "character ending" was extremely ironic.

​

...It seems that this system has already expected that She Luther must reach three kinds of endings, and expected that he could not escape from one of them.

​

Maybe Shelude did the right thing.

​

In exchange, no one would be reconciled, and he was suddenly restricted by an incomprehensible existence, which suddenly restricted the possibility and future, and became something like a program.

​

Players who are fighting for the liberation of their homes actually have more or less such thoughts.

​

Looking at the row of bright red [Are you going to give Noria's red rose to Shelud? (Your actions will affect his ending)].

​

Su Ming'an thought for a moment.

​

He remembered that when he brought back Minghui's Qingqing before, the system prompted the "Follower" quest to be triggered, but he didn't say that he needed any red roses.

​

But this time seems to be different.

​

Maybe it's because the system doesn't like this kind of NPC who wants to leave, and he has to pay for taking away Xie Lude.

​

He suddenly turned his head and looked at the open space beside him.

​

"Boss Rabbit." He said, "Come out and ask you a question."

​

Above the open space, there was silence.

​

The "crack" of the flames exploded in the quiet room, and the warmth flushed his face.

​

He took a bite of the chocolate, only to find that it had melted a little.

​

The barrage looked a little stunned:

​

【What is this doing? 】

​

[Summoning the Boss Rabbit? It's useless. Many people have tried it, but the boss rabbit doesn't care at all. 】

​

[I tried it, but it was useless to call anyone, and it was useless to call God. 】

​

[The first player is a little naive, how could the Boss Rabbit come out after being called by him. Edward, the third-ranked member of the list, tried it all, but he didn't respond at all...]

​

……

​

Su Ming'an called out and didn't speak again.

​

His eyes have been fixed on that area, very safe, as if he had decided that the boss rabbit would inevitably appear in front of his eyes.

​

Just when the audience gathered to ridicule and persuade him not to waste his energy.

​

The pink brilliance suddenly erupted in the silent room.

​

"..." Shelude looked at this scene in shock.

Above that clearing, a bright pink light like a star suddenly lit up.

​

A snow-white body is looming among the fluttering pink colors, and the glittering brilliance is embellished on its body, vaguely revealing a blood-red balance on its chest.

​

Like pink peach blossoms blooming, dreamy colorful foam floats on its body, and a pair of red crystal-like eyes are clear and clear.

​

It looks so cute, it belongs to the kind of cute rabbit that can be called "change it for me!".

​

The big white rabbit, like the appearance of a magical girl, popped out a pair of fluffy ears, which were dyed translucent in the twinkling of pink light.

​

"Kiss—the first player!"

​

Boss Rabbit, who had changed into a cute white rabbit skin, opened his big fluffy white hands, and his tone was still the same as always.

​

"Long time no see - ah, it's really been too long, in your words... 'It's like every three autumns'! If it wasn't for you to call me, it would be a while before we met..."

​

Those red crystal eyes were staring at Su Ming'an leaning on the sofa with incomparable "affectionate".

​

Its appearance looks much higher, like the kind of plush white rabbits that are displayed in shopping malls and attracts people to dive in. It doesn't have the weird and disgusting feeling of the opening ceremony at the beginning, and it looks very confusing.

​

Su Mingan realized that either Boss Rabbit likes to play this game and change his skin. Or... Boss Rabbit will actually evolve himself.

​

...although I don't know where this evolutionary direction went wrong.

​

He was not surprised that he was able to summon the Boss Rabbit. In the previous episodes - the death in the basement of the first world, the death in the rain in the sixth world, he successfully saw the boss rabbit.

​

It will not interfere with the player's actions, nor will it interfere with the dungeon process. At most, it will appear in front of him and answer some questions to see if it responds.

​

So, he summoned it this time just to ask some questions.

​

At this time, the live broadcast room was already full of "66666".

​

They didn't expect that, as the "first player", they still have this skill.

​

And the active viewer who just said, "Edward can't even be called out, Su Ming'an is so naive...", who has been stomping on one in the live broadcast room and whose id is "Edward Fanatic Fan", suddenly stopped moving.

​

Not only her, but many viewers who are still kindly popularizing science, saying that Boss Rabbit doesn't care about the players at all, are also instantly dumbfounded.

​

...It turns out that it wasn't that the boss rabbit couldn't hear the player calling it.

​

It's the players like them who don't care at all.

​

On the World Forum, there have been many videos of trying to summon the Boss Rabbit. Those players either bathed and burned incense, or knelt down and shouted, using various pompous means to try to attract people's attention and call them out, but there was no response at all.

​

As a result, the first player shouted casually, and the rabbit appeared, with a more attentive attitude than anyone else.

​

"The description of the props is not clear, I want to ask a question."

​

Su Mingan took out "Noriya's Red Rose".

​

This red rose is still as delicate and beautiful as when he got it, bright red like fire, it is an invincible flower.

​

……

​

[Noriya's red rose (red level): a one-time item, when pinned to the chest, it will automatically leave the player's membership and become the observer of the current dungeon world]

​

……

​

Boss Rabbit squinted at him.

​

"The item description says that when you pin it to your chest, it will automatically leave your status as a 'player' and become an observer of the current dungeon world." Su Ming'an said, "So, what happens when the NPC uses it?"

​

At the beginning, he was the only one in the world who completed the Hidden Line dungeon in the copy of Daylight Floating City, that is to say, he was the only one in the world who obtained this item.

​

So much so that he has no way of knowing how this item will be used on NPCs.

​

"Hey...? This kind of question... I didn't really want to answer it." Boss Rabbit scratched his head, looking naive.

​

"However, this is the description of the prop..." Su Mingan had already prepared.

​

"—But because you are the number one player of the kiss! You are the dear 'in power', then—the people will pity you, and reluctantly answer it!" The boss rabbit's voice rose in an instant, like a boil The water was like water, which directly interrupted Su Ming'an's attempt to reason.

​

It opened its arms and said in a very pleasant tone:

​

"NPC - of course the same thing! Kiss's number one player, why don't you think about it the other way around?"

​

Su Ming'an was slightly taken aback.

​

Think back.

​

Players who wear Noria's red rose will become NPCs.

​

Then, if an NPC wears a red rose, it will...

​

He looked at Sheruther on the ground.

​

Xie Lude was looking at the big rabbit that suddenly appeared in the pink light in shock, his face was so shocked that it was stiff, as if he was looking at an alien.

​

"...The organizer?" He asked softly, somewhat incredulous.

​

However, Boss Rabbit just glanced at him from the corner of his eye, as if he saw ants on the ground, he didn't care at all, and continued to look at Su Ming'an with a smile.

​

"The answer is over, then they're leaving—" it called out, and as soon as the pink light appeared, it was about to leave.

​

"etc!"

​

Su Mingan turned off the live broadcast in seconds, stepped forward, and grabbed it.

​

I started with a piece of warm, fluffy white fur, and it felt really comfortable.

​

But his attention was not on that.

​

Boss Rabbit didn't disappear, just looked at him with a pink glow around him.

​

"Then." Su Ming'an said, "...Where's Yueyue?"

​

"..."

​

Boss Rabbit's twinkling crystal eyes were still looking at him.

​

Through those cold eyes that seemed to be inanimate, Su Mingan could vaguely feel some emotions passing quickly.

​

"What Yueyue?" It blinked and continued to say with a smile.

​

"She is an observer now, is she an NPC?" Su Ming'an stared at its eyes.

​

"This kind of question..." The snow-white big rabbit shrugged: "Your authority as a person in power is not enough - people can only tell you that the rose in your hand is invalid for her."

​

Its implication is that ~lightnovelpub.net~ will be promoted well, and the level of those in power will be improved. It will consider answering this question.

​

But Su Ming'an's hand was quickly released.

​

"She is a special observer." He had already come to this conclusion.

​

Ordinary observers stay in a fixed world and cannot travel through the world.

​

But Yueyue is different.

​

She has a different identity in each world and can travel through the world like a player.

​

She is definitely not ordinary, trapped in an identity in the world of a single virtual copy.

​

Boss Rabbit's smile did not change.

​

The brilliance of pink suddenly lit up on it, and the color saturation and brightness were extremely high, which could be called light pollution.

​

It's still a familiar routine, it can almost blind people's eyes in an instant.

​

Su Ming'an quickly closed his eyes, avoiding this sudden attack like revenge.

​

When he opened his eyes again, the figure of the huge white rabbit had disappeared.

​

The shadow of the flame danced in that clearing, and the room seemed extraordinarily silent.

​

Holding the red rose in his right hand, he suddenly found that his left hand was empty.

​

When he raised his hand, he found that the half-melted chocolate that he had held in his hand suddenly disappeared.

​

……
