Su Ming'an and Xie Lude came to Lin Yin's mouth, and it was said that they had seen his sister's East District.

​​

Sherrod is still writing in his notebook.

​​

Su Ming'an glanced at it and saw a small line of words on the top of it, "The seventh day of meeting a traveler from another world".

​​

"This notebook of yours, I'm afraid it's not going to be written for hundreds or thousands of days," he said.

​​

He wasn't kidding.

​​

Becoming a player also means having the qualification to leave the world game completely. If Zhai Xing can be redeemed in the end, Xie Lude may really be able to write for decades.

​​

Xie Lude turned the pages of the book: "Probably, no, this book is almost finished."

​​

He turned to the penultimate page, and his notes have been recorded here.

​​

Su Mingan took a cursory look and found that various words were recorded on it, such as "ice cream", "air conditioner", and "Lu Xun". Each word was followed by a full explanation, and there was even a passage of Xie Luther's own views and insights.

​​

It can be seen that he is really looking forward to the new world.

​​

"It's okay, the price of the Lord God's world is very low, you can buy a new book for you to remember." Su Mingan said.

​​

"Um..." She Luther rarely replied immediately.

​​

His recording movements stopped slightly, and he continued to write sideways, not letting Su Mingan see what he was writing.

​​

"What did you write?" Su Mingan said.

​​

"I'm writing..." Sherrod said, "... Praia's straw candy."

​​

"Straw sugar?"

​​

Xie Lude suddenly raised his head.

​​

"Captain, the refuge point is here," he said.

​​

Su Mingan raised his head.

​​

This is the refuge point in the East District, responsible for the placement of the injured and their relatives. It stands to reason that if Xie Lude's sister is still alive, she will most likely be here.

​​

The venue here is quite lively. When they saw him coming, many people got up from the ground excitedly, and were about to kneel and thank the hero of Praia.

​​

Xie Lude stopped their behavior, turned to ask the person in charge of the refuge area, "Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl like this?"

​​

He took off the necklace with the photo on his neck, and showed the girl with the smile like a sunflower to the person in charge.

​​

"Let me see..." The person in charge suppressed his excitement, recalled it carefully, and tried to help the hero who saved Praia before him.

​​

But after thinking about it, he still shook his head regretfully.

​​

"It's a pity. I haven't seen her."

​​

"Some people say that she has seen this girl here." Sherude said.

​​

"Impossible." The person in charge shook his head: "All the refugees were placed here. If the girl you mentioned appeared in the East District, she would definitely be brought over by the patrolling soul hunters, and it was impossible to let her run around."

​​

Shelude frowned.

​​

"Lin Yin said that she had seen it before, but she said that she just felt a similar breath. Maybe she felt wrong." Su Ming'an said.

​​

"Then where should I look for her..." Shelude clenched his fists.

​​

Su Mingan glanced at the task bar.

​​

The task of delivering the necklace to Sister Shelud still hasn't failed.

​​

Logically speaking, she should still be alive.

​​

"Let's look for it in the East District." Su Ming'an said, "Maybe who is taking care of her?"

​​

Xie Ruud nodded.

​​

As they were leaving, he heard the exchange of the injured.

​​

"...I heard that even if the barrier is established, the group of sea monsters are still blocking the outside."

​​

"Then what should we do? We rely on that route for foreign trade. If the Kraken keeps stuck there, our relatives who go to sea will also..."

​​

"Yeah, and our island's resources have always depended on trade. If this route is cut off, then we..."

​​

"Is the resource disaster of decades ago going to happen again. But, what should we do this time? Will Su Rin bring half of the people up?"

​​

"I don't know... I'm also very confused. I miss my father who went to sea. I hope he will come back slower, otherwise it will be sent to the mouths of those sea monsters..."

​​

……

​​

Su Ming'an and She Luther did not participate in the celebration held in the center.

​​

The cheers, music, and songs floated over there through the faint white snow, and the splendid fire could vaguely be seen, jumping in the pale sky.

​​

In silence, he walked all the way through the quiet East District, through the streets full of sunset, from the beginning to the end.

​​

During the period, they heard a lot of discussions about the siren disaster from the houses on both sides.

​​

Su Ming'an knew why the group of sirens didn't leave.

​​

Before, it was the princess siren who brought the group of sirens to Praia.

​​

I want to lead these guys away, unless the Siren King appears again and takes them away.

​​

but now,

​​

The princess died, and the soul energy of the Kraken King on him was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, unable to suppress the group of Kraken at all.

​​

When passing by the Eastern District Soul Hunting Department, he heard the roar of Christie, the newly appointed Eastern District Minister.

​​

"—What are you doing to eat! Can't drive those sea monsters away? Praia has not found a way to suppress the sea monsters for so many years?"

​​

"Minister." A helpless subordinate said.

​​

"The only one who can suppress the siren is the siren king," he said.

​​

"—Then what do you want us to do? Most of the soul hunters killed and wounded, not to mention the soul clan that is about to move, our route is cut off, and the surrounding area is surrounded by sea monsters - do you want us to build another airship and take half of the people with you Shangyun Shangcheng?"

​​

"Minister, calm down..."

​​

"--me!"

​​

A crisp sound rang out, Christie, who had smashed something, walked out of the gate of the Soul Hunting Department, just in time to see Su Mingan and Xie Lude passing by.

​​

He quickly suppressed the angry expression on his face and squeezed out a smile.

​​

"Oh, it's you. Why don't you go to the celebration of the Central Committee? You are heroes." He scratched his face and smiled unnaturally: "If you go, I don't know how crazy those girls will be. "

​​

Obviously, he didn't want to pass on his negative emotions to the heroes who just came off the line of life and death, he just pretended to smile.

​​

"..." Xie Lude looked away.

​​

"We are looking for his sister." Su Ming'an said.

​​

"Okay. Okay." Christie scratched his head: "Call me anytime you need, I can help."

​​

"Soul Hunter is quite busy right now." Su Mingan shook his head: "No need."

​​

He turned around.

​​

The sunset fell in an instant.

​​

As the snow was fading away, some sunlight fell from the sky.

​​

In an instant, the red and bright colors filled the entire sky that was still covered with snow. Sunshine and heavy snow coexist, and it looks like a different world.

​​

Xie Lude stared at the photo in the necklace clip, his emotions were visibly low.

​​

"Xie Lude, do you have anything else to explain these days?" Su Ming'an said, "After you become a player, you can't come back."

​​

"..." Xie Lude put away the photo.

​​

Even at this moment, he covered up his suppressed emotions.

​​

"Captain, I don't have anything to worry about anymore." Shelude said, "I'm looking forward to your world of travelers from other worlds. I heard that your world prohibits all direct killing and no war?"

​​

"Yes." Su Ming'an glanced at the bullet screen: "People in my live broadcast room also like you very much. We have a platform where everyone can see what we talk about, called 'World Forum', you can try it then, it should be There are a lot of people who will chat with you."

​​

There was anticipation in Xie Lude's eyes.

​​

He opened the notebook and wrote this record.

​​

[...The cross-sea operation is over, the barrier was successfully established, and we... should be considered a victory.

​​

The red rose that can turn me into a player is already in my hand. When I find my sister, I will put it on.

​​

In this way, I should no longer be a so-called NPC.

​​

The captain said that travelers from another world have a platform where they can communicate, and they also like me very much.

​​

If I become a player, I should meet many new friends...]

​​

He closed the notebook and showed a tired smile.

​​

"Captain." He said with a smile, "In this way, I can taste the lemon that Laken said, right? I heard that it tastes much better when you eat barbecue with it..."

​​

The smile on his face gradually stiffened.

​​

On this road with celebratory music, a woman with a hunched back came across her face.

​​

Her expression was stiff, her eyes were dull, she dragged her legs as if she had lost her soul, and behind her back was a large broom with a height of one person, but it seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds of iron scales.

​​

She was holding a small mahogany box in her arms and walking in the snow, like a warm stove in her arms.

​​

The cheerful celebration songs floated in her ears, and she seemed to be numb, as if she had no response to the outside world. Even when she met Praia's two heroes head-on, she was still like a walking corpse, rubbing their shoulders.

​​

In her mouth, a name was murmured, as if she had been bitten and read it out, it echoed repeatedly on this deserted street.

​​

"Yongzhi."

​​

"Yongzhi."

​​

Her steps were slow.

​​

Under her white hair are a pair of turbid eyes, like a frozen lake. The eyes have lost focus, and bloodshots gradually spread upward, as if reason and instinct are completely separated.

​​

The red urn hugged her tightly. She drooped her eyes and used all her strength to hold it tightly with her extremely thin and hunched skeleton, like a dead fire in her arms.

​​

"Yongzhi..."

​​

The hoarse, almost non-existent call echoed on this street, and gradually froze in the fading wind and snow.

​​

"..."

​​

The forced smile on Sherude's face disappeared.

​​

He stared blankly at the woman who seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and his fists gradually clenched.

​​

"Captain." He said softly, "If I leave, our world..."

​​

"It will continue." Su Ming'an said.

​​

The status of the person in power gave him the opportunity to return to the world. Even if Shelud left here, the world would continue.

​​

"We..." Shelude said, "really NPCs?"

​​

"Yes." Su Ming'an said, "But who said that I am not an NPC?"

​​

He stared at Xie Lude's firefly eyes: "...As long as you believe in yourself, you understand that your current thinking is the result of your deep thinking, and you will not regret all your decisions - you must Believe, you are an independent person."

​​

"Don't regret all your decisions?"

​​

"Yes."

​​

"..."

​​

Xie Lude stood there for a long time.

​​

The light snow and ice stained his golden hair, and the saber around his waist had been broken in the battle just now.

​​

The notebook in his hand, opened and closed, opened and closed, novel words danced in his field of vision, and his eyes were dazed, as if they had lost their brilliance.

​​

"Hey--!"

​​

A call came from behind, Su Mingan raised his eyes and saw a fiery red figure.

​​

Naraku, who appeared suddenly, limped after them.

​​

"Bright Knight, are you looking for your sister?" Naruo asked.

​​

"Yes." Shelude reluctantly regained his strength.

​​

"..." Naruo sighed softly: "I have seen your sister, she came to me."

​​

Su Ming'an felt as expected, the red-level necklace giving task called "Immortal" had not been completed, and the younger sister was definitely still alive.

​​

"Where is she?" Sherude said immediately.

​​

"..." Rarely, Naraku's voice was slightly hesitant.

​​

"Bright Knight." She said, "Be mentally prepared."

​​

She took out a jar of sea blue.

​​

Inside the jar, a group of curled up sirens could be vaguely seen.

​​

……

​​

South Wharf.

​​

The celebration in the center seems to have nothing to do with this place.

​​

Joy belongs to those who rejoice, and sorrow is left to the friends and family of the victims.

​​

Because it is the closest to the battlefield, this place has become a mortuary for the remains. The Kraken has retreated beyond the outermost barrier just established, and the white bridge is safe.

​​

People stepped on the city wall, stepped on the white bridge, and began to collect the bodies of the dead. Some people have been bitten to the point of indistinctness, some people are missing arms and legs, and some people are only left with a puddle of meat foam, which can't even match anyone.

​​

The white bridge was covered with blood, and the mourning of the wounded resounded throughout the area. Medics are carrying out emergency rescue.

​​

The old man Cliff, whose arms were wrapped in gauze, seemed to be a few years older in this battle. His face became more wrinkled, the spots scattered like chess pieces on his stiff old face, and even those eyes were a lot numb.

​​

"Minister." A soul hunter reported the casualties to him: "A total of 1,065 people, the dead... 769 people, and the injured 238 people. Among them, more than half of them are seriously injured, and almost all of them will be disabled in the future."

​​

Cliff listened to this number numbly.

​​

Of the 1,000-strong team, the dead accounted for more than two-thirds, and almost everyone who survived was injured.

​​

"Furthermore, Minister." Soul Hunter said softly, "Since most of the dead are Soul Hunters and ready Soul Hunters with combat power, our number of personnel... is already extremely short. If the Soul Clan..."

​​

"The soul clan won't take action at this time. Lord Su Rin can take care of them." Cliff said.

​​

"Yes. However, the biggest danger now is those sea monsters in the outer layer. If they don't leave for a day, our residents who go out to sea may be at risk of being killed at any time... And, our route is also..."

​​

"……understood."

​​

"Minister, if this continues, the island's resources will soon..."

​​

"understood!"

​​

Clifford blew his beard and stared, his old face flushed red: "Little young! Do you think this old man doesn't want to expel those sirens? Do you know what the cost of expelling the sirens is? It's the siren king who awakened Su Rin! ——If awakened, do you know what the price of awakening her is??”

​​

The young Soul Hunter immediately lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

​​

Cliff closed his eyes slightly.

​​

In the wailing of the wounded, his voice was almost non-existent: "...Let's do this first, let's see. If the resources are really insufficient, go to open up a new route. Although the north is far away, it is not impossible..."

​​

"Minister. But the Krakens have already surrounded the north..." Soul Hunter endured and recounted the bad situation: "Just now, without the control of the Kraken King, Praia has been harassed by them. We are surrounded by a circle, no matter which direction we come from, we can't get out."

​​

Cliff took a deep breath.

​​

He knew that if it continued like this, he could only wake up the Kraken King on Su Rin, and let the blue Kraken King help them drive out the group of Krakens that surrounded them.

​​

However, even Praia's little brat knows what it takes to wake up a siren.

​​

The Siren King fell asleep because his energy was exhausted.

​​

If you want to wake her up, you can only feed her the energy she needs to replenish.

​​

And the energy that the siren needs...

​​

is human.

​​

It's the body, it's the soul.

​​

Because she is the king of sirens, she needs far more life than normal sirens.

​​

...they need to use the lives of countless Praia residents to fill this hole.

​​

Cliff clenched his fists.

​​

His whole body was shaking with anger.

​​

He felt his body, like a stake driven into the soil, the heavy guilt and responsibility weighed down on him.

​​

There was a smell of blood in his throat, like a brain hemorrhage caused by gas.

​​

He suddenly collapsed ~lightnovelpub.net~ and punched the side wall, smashing a cobweb-like crack.

​​

"Bang!"

​​

A loud bang resounded throughout the area.

​​

"—God! You treat me unfairly in Praia!" Clifford howled miserably, tears streaming down his vicissitudes-stricken old face, and his eyes were almost cloudy.

​​

"Why - why the **** do you want people on this earth to go through such pain again - isn't what we've suffered enough? There are still so many innocent lives, to fill it up for you !?"

​​

He threw out a fist, suddenly collapsed and squatted down, covering his face with his hands, his voice broken.

​​

"So many—so many corpses of young children who once stood there alive..."

​​

His tears fell to the ground and mixed with the pale snow.

​​

And at this time,

​​

A dark shadow, carrying the light of the setting sun, appeared in front of him.

​​

In that person's hand, he was holding a can of azure blue bottle.

​​

"Minister." The man said softly, his voice always stable:

​​

"You don't have to sacrifice so many lives."

​​

"I am coming."

​​
