[Doomsday City·Wartime Command Hall·Side Room]
"..."
The black-haired girl looked at herself in the mirror and buttoned the top button of her tight-fitting combat uniform. She felt obvious restraint when fastening the hat button.
She frowned slightly, picked up the lightsaber at her waist, and smoothed the black hair on her back with one hand. There was an electric buzz, and a blue thunderbolt flashed through. The smooth waist-length black hair was broken from it and scattered like a waterfall. On the ground.
She stuffed the remaining shoulder-length black hair into her military cap and pushed open the door with her sword.
"Click."
"An enemy force of level 10,000 or above appears at 35 degrees east by south. It is initially determined to be a legion from the god camp named [Door Key]. The outer city is requesting help from the escort department." A very fast voice sounded from her right headset.
Yueyue responded immediately: "The security department will arrive within an hour."
The next moment, another "click" sounded in her left headset: "At 32 degrees west-southwest, a two-thousand-man Originium search team was attacked by a tide of alien beasts. The entire army may be wiped out. Please ask the inner city security department for help."
Yueyue put her hands on the headset.
After closing her eyes and being silent for five seconds, she spoke.
"Give up," she said.
The person on the other side was silent for a while before hanging up the communication with a "click". There was no cry for help, no rebuke.
Soon, the communication channel went dark.
Yueyue passed by hundreds of humming computers in the room, and hundreds of people wearing different military ranks walked beside her, like drops of water converging into different pools.
Some people were holding personal terminals, with eye circles so heavy that they couldn't sleep for several nights, and some people had seven or eight different sounds coming from their headsets, like a symphony from the war.
The end is imminent, and everyone is like a speeding gear. At this moment, everyone is a drop of water in this big river, and can only move according to the flow of the river.
The hundreds of thousands of people evacuating from city to city are like the blood flowing in the veins, jointly supporting the beating heart of "human civilization".
People shouldered their firearms and held up barriers. The city was filled with ice-white and azure blue light. Millions of soldiers and civilians were flowing in the inner and outer urban areas. The lights were brilliant at night, shining like glass lamps.
——This scene of Yueyue looking down from a high altitude makes people feel that human beings are as small as ants, but they are also great enough to support boulders several times their own weight.
The night wind blew her black hair as she stepped off the elevator and boarded the truck.
Hundreds of soldiers crowded into the modified manned truck. Her brother Che sat in the driver's seat and waved to her.
The truck started, watching the scenery outside the window rapidly regressing, and countless vehicles traveling with them. Yueyue deeply realized that everything was different starting from the ninth world.
In previous copies, there was a situation where one person dominated the world. However, in this world, if there were not these gathered human elites, if there were not millions of soldiers and civilians on the battlefield, if there were not those experts and scholars who stayed up all night in the laboratory, even Su Ming'an would be able to control the world. There is no way to reverse the situation.
If there is no Noah, no Sen, no sacrifice of people like Xia Sheng and Luna... the situation will become uncontrollable.
"..." Yueyue looked at her haggard face in the rear mirror and sighed slightly.
As early as the return dinner, she noticed Su Ming'an's transformation. He became more and more like Mingming, and more and more like the city lord Akto himself. He is gradually integrating with the role he plays, which is what he must do in every copy.
——He must spend decades in this world and span more than a hundred years of history in just a few days until he reveals the deepest secret of the world.
——He only had a dozen days to figure out the secret of the world that she had not discovered in twenty-three years of life.
His understanding of Dongxue, his friendship with Xie Rude and Naraku, his empathy with Xiboer... He must discover secrets through constant communication with NPCs, and this kind of emotion is expendable, won't he become Becoming more and more indifferent?
——And in this ninth world, who will he sympathize with and understand each other?
She and Che Kelstia were brother and sister, and they had lived together for twenty-three years before they developed a strong relationship. And Su Mingan only chatted with Che a few times and gained a deeper alliance than that between brother and sister. Sometimes, she even saw Che calling "Luvis" to the portrait of the city lord, and then standing in front of the painting all night.
——How can Su Ming'an grasp such rich and strong emotions?
The crazy love from Tredia, the twisted feelings from Lin Guang, the eager expectations from Xia Sheng, Luna's sacrifice...
How could he bear the emotions of so many people?
Where is his "self"?
Yueyue gradually sensed that he seemed to be following something feverishly, reaching a state of self-hypnosis, as if he was living as another soul - what was he living for?
Maybe it's something, maybe it's some people. But the answer must not be "himself".
A well-meaning player once showed Yueyue the game forum and showed her what casual players like to do now. Many people like to take screenshots and photos of Su Mingan. However, she discovered that these images of Su Ming'an may be the image of Su Lin comforting the heroes before the sea monster attacks the city, or the image of Yang Xia wearing hospital clothes in the white sand paradise, or the good-looking Qin Wang with silver hair and golden eyes in Ming Hui. The image may be the face of the current Lord of Akto City with black hair and gray eyes - but she rarely sees him like himself.
As a player, she could hardly see his original appearance, his appearance as a nineteen-year-old student.
A copy is a mask, and she gradually loses sight of him.
"Beep, beep." The headset sounded, and the Intelligence Department provided her with the specific direction of the enemy.
"Miss Kelstia, you are expected to arrive at the battlefield in half an hour." The voice of the Intelligence Department came.
"Understood." Yueyue stopped thinking and turned on her watch. At least until he ended this war, she wanted to protect the most dazzling city in mankind for him.
Success does not have to be hers.
But success must come from her.
…
"Look at your M's fireworks!" Yamada Machichi, who studied under Lu Shu, opened his mouth with swear words and slashed forward with the blade without mercy.
He wanted to wake up Noel. This playful and smiling guy had been doing everything wrong since the ninth world, and now he had become an enemy standing in front of them.
Noel's smile remained unchanged, and dozens of people walked out behind him. They were all players from the God camp who stayed in the City of Gods. Violet the beast tamer, Chrissy the measurer, Locke the clue observer, Wu Yu the Tai Chi master, Hou Li the rose heavy artillery... …They were like a wall blocking the doorway.
"We didn't find Noel until now. It's too late for you." Chrissy said: "Noel has been here for more than a day, specifically to prevent you from escaping. We know how powerful Su Mingan is. If you run away, all of us will suffer. Die here."
"The Peak Alliance actually started fighting on its own. It's so funny. Even Luna died. I think your world will fall apart when it ends." Player Doris laughed so hard.
Yamada Machichi had a sullen face, and many mechanical armies that were not sleeping gradually surrounded him.
The next moment, there was a loud noise!
“Buzz——!”
The boiling air shook violently, and the body of the player in front was torn apart in an instant, and bright red blood spilled on the ground.
Su Mingan had no expression on his face and lowered his palms slightly. Even though most of his body was paralyzed, just moving his hands was enough to kill these people instantly.
"Ahhhhhhh!" A harsh scream sounded, and several players fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Many of them were forced to come here by Noel and did not want to face Su Mingan directly.
When a player dies, the splendid equipment drop special effects flash, and someone's eyes glow red.
"Don't grab it, this is mine!"
"mine!"
"It's his grandma's, you still want to snatch it..."
"..."
Seeing that a robbery was about to begin, Noel raised his hand, and the group of people were pulled back by the thread like manipulated puppets.
He stared at the group of people coldly.
Beside, Violet took a step back after seeing this. She just came to join in the fun and did not want to become the enemy of the first player. Su Mingan seems to be very irritable today.
"You have to be careful, Su Mingan." Violet said: "Noel's state is a bit scary. Before, he hung up a person who offended him and cut and painted on the person's body..."
Su Mingan stared at Noel:
"Would you do this to me?"
He didn't expect Noel to become so perverted now. The same goes for the short-lived red-eyed Lu Shu, who brewed all tea from the underworld. After being invaded, the temperaments of these people will develop towards the cold and bad side.
Noel just smiled. His smile was like a cold mask made of oil painting. His eyes were as red as blood, without any hint of the original clear blue: "What do you think?"
"I guess your vision now is black and white." Su Mingan said, "Can you still see colors?"
"..." Noel's smile gradually disappeared.
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, the player Krissy raised the weapon like a ruler in his hand, and Yamada felt a sharp pain explode in his body, as if someone was severely beating his internal organs. He staggered a step, but still stood in front of Su Ming'an.
"Do it!" There was an explosion, and the muzzle of the gun in Hou Li's hand flashed, and the blue light gunfire solidified instantly and rushed towards Yamada.
Noel did not stop these people, and even took the initiative to block Yamada Machichi's counterattack. The gap in combat power between the two was extremely obvious.
A wave-like shock wave raged wildly in the hall, and blood appeared on Yamada Machichi's body, and the blood instantly soaked his shirt. He gritted his teeth and wanted to kill these players, but Noel didn't give him a chance to fight back.
Several players blocked the door tightly, like puppets controlled by Noel, refusing to give in.
"God - tell Noel to stop, he was invaded by [Tavi], aren't you [Tavi]?" Su Mingan raised his wrist and spoke to the air.
God's voice soon sounded: "No..."
"Why?"
"I'm not the only one in [Tawei]. You have to know this, my dear Lu Shu." The god said, "And this guy named Nuo'er is really interesting. He is actually..."
His tone was a bit intriguing, as if he had seen something interesting.
"Whoa!" Suddenly, a transparent silk thread slashed across and tightened around Su Ming'an's wrist, preventing him from releasing spatial vibrations. Noel stretched out his hand, thin threads stretched across his fingers, his eyes full of indifference.
Su Mingan also looked back, saying that Noel had just lost his mind after being invaded, and there was still a chance to recover. But his time cannot be delayed here...
"Click!!"
In an instant, he felt his height suddenly being lifted up, and a square rising out of thin air below him, sending him towards the ceiling.
A figure with long beige hair swept past him. She was holding a metal remote control. It is this remote control that changes the terrain.
"I'll take the teacher up!" Tredia hugged Su Ming'an. She didn't know whether it was because his body was too light or Tredia was too strong, but it was easy for her to hold him with one hand.
"Understood." Xiaobi's answer was concise and to the point. She and Yamada Machichi stayed behind, holding Noel at the door.
The most important thing now is to send Su Mingan to the rooftop, otherwise the nuclear explosion system cannot be shut down.
"Crack, click, click -" The building was like a Rubik's cube that was constantly changing its squares. A gap opened in the ceiling above. Tredia controlled the remote control with one hand and held Su Mingan with the other, and rushed in smoothly.
There was a "click" and after ascending to the second floor, there was a floor-to-ceiling window directly in front of the corridor. Tredia hugged him and ran forward as fast as she could.
"Boom, boom—" In the quiet ice-white corridor, the only sound left was the sound of her slamming on the ground.
Su Mingan couldn't understand more and more what this woman who suddenly appeared was thinking. She announced in the live broadcast that the bionic body secretly betrayed him, but now she is desperately trying to save him.
"Teacher, I'm going to jump. We have to climb up to the rooftop from the outside." Tredia said.
"Hey..." Su Mingan was weak. He didn't expect that Tredia wouldn't even take the wheelchair, which was a red-level wheelchair! !
But Yamada is down there, so the wheelchair shouldn’t be lost.
"Crash-!"
The glass was broken, and Tredia got into the night and rushed out towards the outside world.
In an instant, countless glass shards shattered like stardust, and a steady line of white light projected from the room fell on their shoulders. The light reflected each other among the transparent and fragmented glass pieces, like jumping into the sky and falling rain during the day. At dawn.
Tredia's long beige hair curled as she jumped, and a chaotic light surged in the snow. Her long eyelashes were as light as butterflies, as if they were disintegrating in the light.
She looked at him intently, staring into his pure gray eyes.
"Great, I caught up." She smiled.
The sharp piece of glass scratched the back of Su Mingan's hand, and bright red blood seeped out. Tredia immediately covered his hand completely with the back of her hand to help him block the flying glass.
Her fingers were thick with hard knuckles, a gun hand. Wounds appeared on her hands, shoulders, and back, and red blood spattered out. She became his shield.
She put her toes on the nearly vertical glass building and jumped directly upwards.
In the night, it looked like fireworks exploding on the glass.
The two broke through the endless night and rushed towards the highest level, which was almost straight into the sky. Shards of glass rained down behind them like falling starlight.
