Su Mingan walked deeper into the corridor.
He first needs to find his fellow doctor, the guy who inexplicably wants to tell him stories.
He knew where the other party's room was, and the other party was a player he could identify. As long as he asked him, he would most likely know the cause of Lin Jiang's death.
He needed to know what happened during the time she was on the second floor.
But as he moved forward, he stopped.
As always, the round, dying light was approaching him.
He has not yet obtained the status of a doctor and will die if he is not immune.
Last time, it was the impostor player who used a clone-like skill to divert the light spot away.
But this time, the impostor player was already dead.
Su Mingan stretched out his hand.
White light condensed in front of his eyes, and after a moment, Ying cast his gaze towards him.
"Go and lure it away." Su Mingan said.
"You are really merciless." Ying said.
Su Mingan knows that the current shadow is very strong.
Unlike him who switches to the shadow state, the image is naturally good at absorbing the malice around him to improve himself.
He at least has the leeway to switch between the light and shadow states, and the shadow has always been the shadow.
In this environment where malice is pervasive all the time and people may fall into madness at any time, the image is at home like a fish in water.
Su Ming'an himself just [used] this power, while Ying was more of a [adaptation] and [fusion] to this power.
In other words, Ying is very "adapted" to this dark environment.
Although he complained, Ying still couldn't disobey his order.
After seeing the shadow leading the light away, Su Mingan continued to move forward and walked to the doctor's door.
He stretched out his hand and saw the door opened by itself before he knocked on the door.
"coming?"
The young man, who was smoking a cigarette and whose dark circles seemed to be getting worse, leaned against the door and took the initiative to open the door for him.
"What happened before?" Su Mingan asked.
"Ha... I haven't held you responsible for revealing my identity yet, Su Mingan." The young man laughed: "That Lin Jiang just now was very aggressive. He came straight to the ground to find me and wanted to kill me. He just wanted to get something. A [doctor] guy.”
"Then what?"
"Click." The iron box made a crisp sound when knocked.
The blue flames rose up in the darkness, smearing the young man's features. Between his brows, his expression sank slightly.
"Then, let me think about it, what happened after that..."
The young man lit a cigarette and seemed to be thinking, but soon, the deep look on his face turned into sarcasm.
He leaned against the doorframe and smiled sarcastically:
"Su Ming'an, has anyone ever told you that you are rude?"
"..."
"Look," the young man said, "you listened to my story, called it hypocritical, sold my information, and asked Lin Jiang to kill me. When she died, you came over again and asked me what happened during this period. thing……?"
He slowly and leisurely took out the cigarette from his mouth, as if he wanted to blow out a smoke ring: "Su Mingan, my fellow doctor, my respect for you has dropped countless levels, from the moment you decided to let Lin Jiang replace me.
Frankly speaking, I don't think you have such a low emotional intelligence, but you don't hide it at all and don't even care about me... Obviously, it seems that I have been underestimated by you.
You are not willing to waste even a little bit of time on me, and you are not willing to deal with me - you don't even ask my name, and you are not interested in knowing it. You are too purposeful, player number one.
So, even if you come to me now, I don’t want to tell you the complete story of what just happened..."
"Bang!"
Invisible gravity appears instantly.
A pair of big hands seemed to be suddenly pressed down in the air, and they suddenly pressed down on the young man's back, pressing him completely to the ground. His knees buckled on the ground, and the floor left cracks.
Under such suppression, the invisible flying mechanical ball that was originally suspended around the young man fell to the ground in an instant, making a shattering and cracking sound.
"cough!"
The young man seemed to be choking on the ash he had spit out, and coughed hard several times.
"Hey, you..." He was so pressed that he couldn't move.
"I have never admitted that you are my companion." Su Mingan stretched out his hand, which was ironed with a layer of blue light.
This is the skill of the equipment [Future Heart] he obtained in the fifth world, energy suppression.
This skill is similar to what Hui Shuhang possesses. It is a form of invisible pressure and is particularly effective when facing enemies with protruding faces.
Although his current mastery of this skill is limited and he cannot specifically suppress a specific person like Hui Shuhang, but it is still no problem to simply suppress the circle around him.
"Compared to students, killing a doctor is less burdensome for me." Su Mingan said: "The rules stipulate that doctors cannot kill innocent students, but there has never been a rule that doctors cannot kill doctors."
"..."
"Tell me what happened just now." Su Mingan said, "You'd better hurry up. I'm very irritable now."
"..." The young man whispered something.
The voice was so low that Su Mingan didn't hear it.
He squatted down, got close to the other person, and listened to the other person's voice.
"...My name is Ryan."
A soft, murmuring voice sounded, and the young man who was pressed to the ground spoke in extremely low voices.
"I'm not interested in your name." Su Mingan said.
"I just... want you to remember my name, player number one." Ryan smiled: "You know? I have a chance to win now."
"...Although I learned a lot in the fifth world, what impressed me the most were the various torture methods in the laboratory." Su Mingan looked at the young man on the ground: "You haven't practiced it yet, you I am actively trying to become my first guinea pig."
"Su Ming'an." Ryan said suddenly: "Do you know whose file I drew on the second night?"
"..."
"Yours." Ryan smiled.
Su Mingan's eyelids twitched, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly.
The overwhelming darkness instantly overwhelmed his clear vision, and he kept his eyes steady: "The rules say that doctors can only extract students' files, not doctors' files."
"——What if the student the doctor wants to execute has been killed by another doctor?" Ryan showed a smile on his face. His tone was mixed with an upward tone: "Then the target of the doctor's execution will become another doctor who violates the rules.
Su Mingan, player number one, do you know what I saw on your file? What a surprise. To be honest, I never thought that your past would be like that..."
"boom--!"
The suppression suddenly increased, and Ryan's face, which was still smiling, sank to the floor in an instant.
Blood slowly flowed down his hair. Su Mingan reached out, pulled his hair, and pulled it up violently.
Ryan gasped, blood slowly spreading down his pale cheeks, but he seemed not to be afraid of the pain, and his eyes were as bright as fire.
When he looked at Su Mingan, he smiled even brighter:
"Su Ming'an, I was born in California. Although I worked in the dark, I was fortunate enough to attend a high-level concert.
At the concert, I saw a pianist from the Dragon Kingdom...she played really well.
Although she lacked a certain amount of emotion, her technique was impeccable, and people said that if her hands could give emotion to the music, she would be the best pianist in the world.
Su Mingan, do you know who that woman is..."
"Bang——!"
Su Mingan pressed his hair and pushed him to the floor again, causing a loud noise from the ground.
"You are already crazy." Su Mingan said: "When you were telling me the story, your state was already wrong, and now it is even worse. No need to thank me, I will send you back now."
"...Su Mingan, are you so afraid of facing your past?"
Ryan's dull voice came through the floor, with a hint of hysteria.
"I'm not afraid." Su Mingan said, "It's just that no one wants their private past to be heard by the whole world."
Ryan gasped and suddenly exerted force to stand up.
The strength value in the shadow state was pitifully low. Su Mingan instantly let go of his hand and took a step back. The space vibration in his hand was already brewing.
Ryan stood up slowly with his hands on the blood-covered ground.
Sawdust and blood were all over his hospital gown. He wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes and smiled with his bloodshot eyes.
"Don't you want to know what happened just now?" Ryan said, "Turn on the live broadcast and let me finish. I will tell you how Lin Jiang died."
"Open a live broadcast and let people watch you talk about the content on my file?"
"Yeah." Ryan nodded with a smile.
"Your bad taste goes well with your guy who delivers stories." Su Mingan said.
His expression has gradually become colder, as if he is not very angry.
"I hate giving orders from anyone the most." Ryan lit another cigarette, the butt of the cigarette burning with orange light in the darkness: "Su Ming'an, in this copy, I am destined to be killed by you, why not let Before I die, I let out a bad breath - you have to let me take a small revenge."
Su Mingan was silent for a moment.
In his field of vision, the barrage was scrolling crazily:
[Let him speak, let him speak! ! ! 】
[I want to hear it, let me hear it! 】
[No, you guys, why are you going so far? Brother Ming'an even said that he doesn't want to be heard...]
[It’s none of my business, why don’t you eat the melon? 】
[...Actually, I am also very curious about the past of the first player. 】
【ah? Isn't he an ordinary student? 】
[Honest man, isolate him. 】
【Brother Ming An! If you don’t want to hear it, don’t listen! It doesn’t matter if you turn off the live broadcast room! Anyway, Ryan doesn’t know, we understand you! 】
【right! Everyone has a past that they can't face. It's okay if they don't know the cause of Lin Jiangda's death. Could it be that without this information, he still can't pass the level? 】
[If the first player has any dark history in the past, the World Forum will immediately kill the board... I'm used to it. 】
[Player No. 1, don’t worry about him, just turn off the live broadcast! 】
【……】
"you say."
In the silence, Su Mingan spoke.
"Originally, I didn't really resent that past. If you could help me learn to face it head-on, it would be okay if you said it in front of the whole world." He said.
Ryan put out the cigarette in his hand.
"...It really surprises me." He leaned on the wall and said in a very calm tone, "It's hard to imagine how you, now, could watch your mother's blood dripping on the ground with cold eyes in the past."
The barrage was detonated instantly.
They were shocked by the amount of information contained in Lane's short sentence.
"Are you finished?" Su Mingan asked.
"...Don't look at me like that. I actually don't mean to torture people that much." Ryan raised his hands: "I just want to ask what you think of your mother - I saw in the file that your My mother once cut her wrists in front of you, begging you not to leave... but you just looked at me. I am personally very curious, what were you thinking at that time?"
"Are you here for a blind date, or are you interested in reading and understanding other people's files?" Su Mingan said, "You still want to ask me what I think?"
"It's just that Burris guy keeps mentioning you and always wants me to tell you a story. Now that the story is here, it has aroused my personal curiosity." Ryan said: "I am naturally interested in all unknown things. Full of curiosity, but now this thing includes you, the first player - can I know what you think? That's it."
"If you are naturally curious, you can explore the mysteries of the universe."
"...Don't joke at this time, Su Ming'an."
"..." Su Ming'an was silent for a moment: "I don't have any thoughts. She is just like this, extremely ridiculous. She likes to use this trick to win my sympathy."
"Huh?" Ryan suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Thanks to her, I had no expectations for this world." Su Mingan said: "She wanted me to teach her how to integrate emotions into the music, so that I could stay with her in the piano room for a long time. . But unfortunately, I also have my own life, I am not a toy raised by her. I love art because of my father, not because of her."
"No, no mother would use this method to win sympathy in front of her children..." Ryan smiled and raised his gaze.
He suddenly saw a silence like the setting sun in the other person's eyes.
"Now she is in a mental hospital and I am in the World Game. We have both found a suitable place and we don't have to torture each other anymore." Su Mingan looked at him and said in a frighteningly calm tone: "Are you done asking?"
Ryan couldn't help but cough.
He felt like he was firmly locked in the other person's gaze, as if the air around him had been squeezed out, leaving no room for him to give in at all.
"...finished asking."
"Tell me what happened just now."
"Just, it was probably Lin Jiang who came to kill me, and then I ran to the light spot in the corridor and used a precious prop that swapped places to make the light spot kill her. Then...her attack also fell. When it reaches the light spot, the copy will be reset..."
"that is it?"
"Yes, that's the process." Ryan nodded.
"Bang!"
His body was smashed against the wall behind him, his throat was tightly locked by the opponent's hand, and his whole body was lifted high into the air.
"I know." Su Mingan said, "You can go and die."
