Empty and dark, like being on the silent bottom of the sea.
This is death that is all too familiar.
Su Mingan opened his eyes.
The steady heartbeat returned to his body, and everything seemed to have become real.
The moment Dong Anan cut his neck open, he decisively ordered the clone far away in the Eagle Dog Army to commit suicide to prevent the save point from freezing after his death.
I don't know why, but this death was not that painful, and it even made him feel like he was "taking a nap."
...Is it because I am becoming more and more accustomed to death, or in other words, am I numb to death?
Regarding the concept of [player death], World Games has always been extremely vague. Players can be resurrected to participate in the next copy after clearing all points and strength.
But the rules do not intuitively indicate what the concept of [death] in the dungeon is.
People have learned that at the moment the world game starts, the players' bodies are digitized, and they are no longer their original bodies. It is more like people are in an [online world], playing games with [virtual bodies].
[Death] in the dungeon is more like a symbol of [game failure]. People’s souls and consciousness are still there, and they can still be resurrected.
As for death in the world of the Lord God, it is a [real death]. People cannot be resurrected, and death is real death.
Some people have suggested that [Game Dungeon] and [Lord God World] should have a one-to-one relationship. [Game copy] is like a castle in the air built on the [Lord God World]. If a person dies in the copy, he will return to the Lord God World, and if he dies in the Lord God World, he will disappear completely.
The world of the Lord God is more like a storage room for their souls.
Death in two different spaces carries different costs, and the nature of death is also completely different.
In this way, Su Mingan's [Death] is somewhat intriguing - whether he dies in the game copy or in the world of the Lord God, the rollback will be triggered.
Even if the possessed character in his copy dies, he will not return to the body of the main god's world, but will directly trigger the death rollback - this is very strange.
Logically speaking, if he died in the dungeon, it should not be considered a real death. His soul and consciousness are still alive, but the character's body in the dungeon has entered a state of death.
Therefore, he speculated that his death reversal might be a [judgment].
When you meet certain "failure" conditions, the rollback is triggered. Regardless of whether he dies in the dungeon or in the world of the main god, he will meet the condition of "failed to pass the level".
Therefore, if there is a "truth that can only be seen after the player dies" in the dungeon, it will be troublesome. After all, once he dies, time will inevitably go back.
But this is destined to be a question, and he may never see the world after his death.
He blinked and moved his fingers slightly. The scene around him was bright and spacious. Beside the dining table covered with exquisite dishes, rows of robots stood motionless.
This is...the building in Central City.
The basement of this building stores Akto's ashes, and the top floor is the central control room of the Dawn System. The rest of the floors are in ruins, and there is no human survival.
It seemed that he had returned from the night of the sixth day to the night of the fifth day. That's when he threatened Dawn with the "Dawn Code".
"...You want to use the Dawn Code to shut me down? Just because I proposed a personality change plan?"
A perfect face was revealed in front of her.
The god of the city-state named Dawn was standing in front of him, less than half a foot away from him. The simulated expression actually has a "pitiful" feeling, which combined with the extremely good looks is enough to make most people feel soft.
Su Ming calmed down and gradually suppressed the side effects of death.
"In short, the personality change plan is not advisable and I won't approve it." He turned around and drove towards the room: "Li Ming, don't force me to shut you down."
Dawn watched him go away quietly.
The calculation of a large amount of data flashed in its eyes. This is its way of "thinking" and it seems to be measuring something.
Using passwords to bet against the Dawn System, Su Mingan has to be in disguise at all times. If he is not careful, he will be caught by it.
After entering the room, Su Mingan remained in a highly nervous state. Dawn is a peeping tom, and this building belongs to her alone, and there are definitely cameras everywhere.
This room seems to have been prepared for Dawn for a long time, and has been kept spotless by robots. There are medicines on the table, and the effects of the medicines are written down on the notes on the bottles. In the mahogany cabinet extended by the pure white carpet, there are several brand-new white coats hanging, and on the wall are some warm paintings and photos. The layout style of the room completely reproduces the original doctor's room in Central City.
In such a ruined building, such a room was carefully prepared... What on earth was Dawn expecting?
Do you expect him to move in from now on?
Do you expect him to consider this place his home?
…
He didn't rest, he continued the route from the previous week and explored the building.
As he approached the bronze pocket watch buried in the ruins, he was highly focused——
He finally saw a figure flashing past in the corner.
...This is the person!
In the last episode, when he picked up a bronze pocket watch, he inexplicably obtained a dawn password. The system prompted him to meet the key figure Lu Shu, but he didn't see anyone at the time.
Now it seems that this person was hiding it so well that he even hid it from his observation ability.
At this time, Lu Shu was clearly roasting sweet potatoes in the edge area. Who was this person?
Su Mingan moved towards the figure flashing in the corner.
The cross light in the space suddenly lit up. He shifted his space and approached the opponent. He stretched out his hand with all his strength and grabbed the black robe of the figure.
The figure also stretched out his hand simultaneously to protect the black robe. The two started a tug-of-war with the cloth as the core, and only heard the hissing cry of the cloth in the darkness.
The man's figure was hidden in the black mist, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. There were burn marks on the back of his exposed hands.
"Who are you——?" Su Mingan shouted.
The man didn't answer, but retreated quickly. With the sound of "tearing", the black robe Su Mingan was holding was torn. The man quickly moved away several feet as if he was moving.
Su Mingan wanted to release spatial vibrations, but the man had slipped further and further away, faster than his continuous spatial displacement.
...The other party should not be a player.
At this stage, no player can have such a fast movement speed.
Su Ming'an stared at the darkness in the distance, shifted back to the wheelchair, and picked up the pocket watch from the ruins.
The bronze pocket watch with a gold chain has a metallic luster.
"Ding dong!"
The moment he got the pocket watch, the system prompt sounded as expected.
…
[You have met the key figure·"Lu Shu"]
【Obtain the first ·Dawn password. 】
[Syllable: "Hui". 】
…
Su Mingan didn't notice anything was wrong at first.
When he entered the elevator and was about to go back to his room, he stared at the system prompt and suddenly froze.
He remembered that in the previous episode, the number one dawn code was not the syllable "Hui", but "Moi"...
what happened.
Why, the syllables he found after rewinding... were different?
"..."
He controlled his breathing as smoothly as possible, but his heartbeat was uncontrollably getting faster and faster, like a drum beating desperately in his chest.
His chest felt like a thousand pounds of iron weighing on him, and he didn't want to think about a possibility.
——He suddenly remembered the White Sand Paradise in the sixth world. Yueyue, who had never appeared before, suddenly appeared in one cycle, and then disappeared in the next cycle.
At that time, different events happened at the same time between different weeks.
But Yueyue's sudden appearance should be an hallucination caused by his low sanity at that time... Different Zhoumu, logically speaking, must be exactly the same.
But why, the syllables obtained after rewinding this time are different from those of the previous week...?
He closed his pocket watch, and with a soft "click" sound, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Uncontrollable fear rose, and his heart beat faster.
He doesn't want to believe in the possibility of parallel worlds.
……right.
...This should be due to some mechanism of the copy. This password appears randomly. It will become different every minute and every second, so it will be different in different weeks. This must be the case...
That's for sure...
There can be no other reason...
"Squeaky-"
The elevator rubbed and made a harsh sound. His expression flickered on and off, as if it was split in half by the light from the outside.
He stared at the broken pocket watch in his hand, fingering it unconsciously.
Through the smooth reflection of the pocket watch, there seemed to be a flash of bright red in his eyes.
…
[Dungeon opens·Sixth day]
[Core Area·Conslitin University]
He had a very tight schedule for this day.
The music class in the auditorium lasted from six in the morning to twelve noon. He quickly pushed his emotional value to the full value of 2000 points, leaving no time for himself to rest.
The well-known students originally wanted to come to attend the class in the afternoon, but they learned that Teacher Lewis had resigned.
Reed from the Human Resources Department also wanted to retain Su Mingan, but he refused.
After the emotional value has been pushed to the limit, there is no point in staying here. He cannot be immersed in this kind of campus life, although there is also a Youth Exploration Club and psychology that interests him.
Other players can be obsessed with this city-state that is very similar to their homeland, can cheer for it, and can take a vacation for them...but he can't.
An unparalleled sense of urgency surrounded him - he would do better than the previous week, seize even a little bit of time and opportunity, and strive for even a little bit of progress...
Otherwise, he always feels... like he has lost something.
After finishing what to do with the eagle dog Kaskinen Philo, he quickly went to the biochemistry laboratory of Consilidin University, and before evening came, he pushed the [Biochemistry] skill to level 10.
He used one day to complete the two days of work originally planned for the previous week.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
He coughed, and as he wished, he heard the system prompt that [Biochemistry] had reached level 10.
He gave a tired smile.
In this way, [Mechanical] and [Biochemical] were maxed out at the same time, and he was only missing [Artificial Intelligence]. This module requires returning to Central City to study.
Although the price is that this body cannot support such a large workload. After busying in the morning, he stayed with the piano for a full six hours. Not only did his body become numb, but all ten of his fingers began to hurt.
He remembered that when he was a child, in addition to eating and sleeping, he would also play the piano non-stop from morning to night, playing until his fingers hurt. If you play the wrong note, you will be beaten.
While other children could play outside the window, he could only play the piano indoors.
Neighbors all praised him - this family really raised a piano prodigy, and when he grows up, he will be as good as his mother who gives concerts.
He may have thought so at the time.
However, the most indispensable thing in the world is that things go against expectations. Ultimately this vision was not realized.
But now, he is surrounded by thousands of admiring students—and hundreds of millions of people looking at each other across the world.
They were just like the neighbors before - they were so envious, boastful, and focused on him with admiring eyes.
They said that he would be able to give a perfect concert unique to human emotions in this cold city named after data.
There is no such person who will stand next to him, stare at him feverishly, and hit his hand if he makes a wrong sound.
but……
Now, he will indeed never play the wrong note again.
"Meow~"
The black cat fell from his shoulder, its eyes reflecting his pale face.
After reaching biochemistry level 10, it received new transformations and gained an A-level charm value. Even if it wasn't lying on his shoulders, it still looked very lovable.
"Black Jade." He called softly.
It tilted its head, with a childlike confusion in its eyes.
"City Lord, are you okay..." The researcher next to him asked him who was coughing up blood.
"I'm fine." Su Ming'an smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll be fine here."
He left the experimental building.
Tonight, after meeting Dong An'an, he will go back to Central City to replenish ammunition and medicine.
He raised his head, and the bright stars were shining in the night sky on campus, like a slowly passing light belt.
Glancing at the raging barrage, he was a little surprised to see a topic that people were discussing crazily.
As if sinking into an unreal dream, as if swimming in an invisible sea, he blinked in confusion, subconsciously ignoring what people were discussing.
"Meow~" Black Jade turned over, looked at the cat in his arms, and smiled.
After a moment, his smile stiffened.
After the hazy feeling faded, he suddenly realized the significance of the hotly discussed topic.
It was like a bloody wound, torn open in front of him. Countless barrages flew in front of his eyes - they used overwhelming words to tell him a clear fact.
Although he subconsciously wanted to ignore it and subconsciously wanted to look away,
But there are some things that, once caught in his eyes, cannot be evaded. It sticks into his eyes like a thorn and cannot be pulled out unless his eyes are gouged out.
His vision was trembling and struggling desperately, but it felt like he was nailed to his eye sockets, and his fingers were bloody and painful.

[Player No. 1, there is good news. 】
[Your mother is awake. 】
