It was almost late at night, and dark clouds were rolling in the night sky, as if an unknown fate was brewing.
The street lights in the city-state are programmed to light up one after another. People hiding in the house can still see clearly what is going on outside even if they turn off the lights.
They saw a pair of blood-red eyes fixed high in the sky among the rolling black clouds. The blood-red pupils were filled with complex magical patterns, and it seemed to be looking down at them coldly.
Even though it didn't move for a while, just like a sticker in the dark night, this picture has already made the frightened residents extremely panic.
"What is that? Is it his eyes?"
"He's finally meddling in our world? Where's our defense barrier? Where's the firewall?"
"What on earth is going on with this internal fight! Why did the city-state suddenly start fighting? Where is the city lord? Why do some people say there is a fake city lord?"
"Mom...are we going to die?"
There were crowds of people between the houses. People looked at the sky in fear and listened to the ear-piercing explosions everywhere. In a war, people have no control over their own lives.
Under the bell tower, a group of people were discussing strategies.
Since all the signals were cut off by the gods, the soldiers' communication devices were reduced to scrap metal. The underground city's military strength was already outnumbered by the gods, and the current situation was extremely tense.
"...Su Ming'an hasn't woken up yet?" Player Locke wiped his rain-covered glasses. He looked at a tall building in the rain curtain, which looked like a fallen black dragon amid the heavy rain.
"Hey Hey hey!"
Chrissy the Measurer tapped the communicator with his fingers and heard a noise like scratching a blackboard. He couldn't help the violence in his heart and dropped the communicator to the ground, breaking it into pieces.
He spread his hands and said angrily: "What's going on with Su Mingan! We contacted Noel and there was no response. Why are these top players starting to become Riddlers! At least let us know what to do next!"
He walked around in circles and said angrily: "Now I'm soaked to the skin, and the signal is cut off again! I've never been so aggrieved!"
Next to him, Tai Chi master Wu Yu shook his head lightly, with a fairy-like attitude: "It can't be said, it can't be said."
"After all, Noel and the others don't know if there are traitors among us, and our players have no hint of loyalty. Communication has been interrupted, and this city is so big that it will take several days to run." Locke said calmly: "Wait. Let's see, maybe the NPC will take action."
He raised his head and looked at the bell tower.
This city is riddled with holes and has experienced seventy years of changes. The surface of the clock tower is covered with gun pits, like a pitch-black fire stick.
And a group of people wearing red cloaks are standing on the bell tower. In wartime, the red cloaks also have another meaning, that is, a commander-level figure.
On the bell tower, a middle-aged woman with a goshawk on her shoulders and sharp eyes put down the telescope in her hand, her blood-red cloak fluttering slightly.
"This rain is so heavy... I can't even see the blood on the ground clearly, and even the mountains in the distance are covered..." Beside her, a white-haired old man's eyes flashed, and the metal crutch in his hand glowed. A layer of sharp brilliance.
"How is the escape plan going? Fortunately, we moved some of our resources to a safe border town in advance. It's not too late to take some people out now," the middle-aged woman said.
"Anita, do you want to escape?" The old man frowned. He is the lord of Hope City Yalin. He has been fighting with Su Mingan and is one of the allies of Doomsday City.
Anita held the telescope tightly and hummed softly: "I am only responsible for my mercenary team, and I want to lead them to survive. There is obviously something wrong with this situation. I don't believe that the omniscient god interrupts all signals just to see We are like headless flies. If we don't run away, it will be too late."
Yalin frowned slightly and wanted to persuade, but someone next to him waved his hand.
"Then let's go." Borg, the deputy city lord of Antofa City, said, "Anita, you have the freedom to choose to survive."
His words were full of pessimism, the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and even he felt confused.
"I don't advise you to come with me. Thank you for respecting my decision." Anita bowed her hands to them and said her final goodbye. She took a step and jumped down from the edge of the bell tower, taking her elite with her. The team leaves.
In the heavy rain, her figure quickly became blurred. It was difficult to see clearly the dark streets below from high altitude.
Several people on the bell tower looked at her leaving figure, and Yalin bit his lip. "Are we really not going to leave..." Someone said softly.
"Everyone is ready to die in battle." A man in black robe said: "Even if you escape now, you will still be able to survive. Balk, Gurner, Benny, Ying Fei, Molitor... they are all insisting. Even if we can't contact other armies, we can't give up."
"Humanity has not struggled so far just to make our grandchildren slaves." Borg said. "I hope he can lead us to victory..." During the heavy rain, only the ancient and vicissitudes of the bells echoed in the bell tower. .
Su Mingan felt chilled to the bone.
Although there was no mirror, he seemed to see his own gray eyes, which were reflected in his senses. He saw the boundless emptiness of the universe. Chaotic blocks of color were flying in front of his eyes, and his whole body seemed to have been roasted. Generally dry and cold.
Even if he doesn't look, he can still feel the deep suffering. Even if he doesn't listen, someone is always pouring his voice into his ears. Those sharp and spicy emotions pass by his eyes time and time again. His limbs are numb, and the blood all over his body is numb. Gathered to the top of the head.
My vision has long been blurred, I can't see anything, and there is only screaming in my ears, which is the wailing and screaming of countless people.
They pierced him like long cold needles.
He is assigned a role, and although he does not have to play every word or deed of that role, the system's tasks require him to act in line with the character, and the words of people around him will affect his positioning - these will affect him in a subtle way.
He has always been a person who is very good at hypnotizing himself and can understand the ideas of the people he possesses. At the same time, during the performance, he will try his best to become exactly like the character.
He always has the strongest "sense of involvement".
He had never been so... longing for rest. The emotions in his chest seemed to be out of control, leaving only unconcealable pain. He could not distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion, and had no sense of reality.
It was like sinking into the cold sea water. Countless water plants dragged him downwards and drowned. "..."
"...Su Ming'an, Su Ming'an!" "——Su Ming'an!!" In the dark night, a dense crowd of people gathered outside the church.
They surrounded the Baroque-style church and shouted the name like a slogan.
I don't know who spread the news that "Su Ming'an is in the church". It got out of hand. Within this hour and forty minutes, people gathered like crazy. There were players watching the excitement and soldiers who were concerned about the city lord. , there were non-commissioned officers who lost contact and wanted to find the commander, so they surrounded the church.
But there's more to it - an endless mechanical army.
The spontaneous gathering of players pointed the way for the mechanical army. The mechanical army was like a tsunami that continuously rushed towards the island, trying to raze the church to the ground.
"Su Ming'an!" "Su Ming'an! Are you in there?"
"Su Ming'an! You have the ability to steal people, and you have the ability to open the door!"
"Su Ming'an! Your tactics are very modern, but your ideas are quite ancient. Who are you!" Some people even saw the excitement and started to make fun of it. "——It's so noisy!!"
Inside the church, Yamada Machichi, Violet, and Che gathered inside. Yamada Machichi couldn't help but complain when he heard the noise outside the church.
The dome casts a warm yellow light, and the Baroque-style floor tiles shine slightly. Even in the heavy rain, the church is still like a stable and stable golden island. But the crowd gathered outside is too chaotic, and waves of sound come in one after another. Come.
There were too many people outside the church, and the Yamadacho people did not dare to open the door, so they could only rely on Noel's silk barrier to isolate the interior and exterior of the church.
"Buzz——!!"
A cannonball fell from high in the sky, trying to destroy the church. This was an attack by the mechanical army.
But soon, the cannonball was intercepted by players outside the church. The colorful lights in their hands gathered together to form an airtight defense line - the players guarded the church without retreating even half a step.
"Protect Su Mingan! These mechanical monsters don't want to hurt our number one player!" some players shouted.
"Ah hahaha, I want to be on TV!!!"
"You guys just started the dungeon and you still wanted to hand over Su Ming'an, but now you are suddenly united."
"That was just the beginning! Now everyone is in the same camp! The points are the same! Just hand him over and we're done!"
"Legion Commander, don't stop!!" A noisy voice floated outside the church.
But this is also the reason why Yamada Machichi and others do not drive away these players - these players are indeed protecting Su Ming'an.
The strength of an individual is limited, but when dozens or hundreds of combat-effective players gather together, covering various fields such as melee combat, human shields, treatment, auras, and long-range attackers, a powerful elite army can be formed. The power of the Fourth Disaster has begun to show, and even a large mechanical army will not be able to capture this place for a while.
At this moment, a burst of light flashed in the church.
Before Yamada Machi could become alert, a figure appeared in the light. His hair was slightly messy, his eyes were reddish, and his body was covered in blood. Even his black gloves had several cuts.
——This is the first time Yamada Machichi has seen Su Lin in such a miserable state. "...cough."
Su Lin landed and the light dissipated. He wiped the blood from his mouth, took off the broken gloves on his hands, and took a look inside the church.
"Where's Su Mingan?" Su Lin looked at Yamada Machichi, his golden eyes rimmed with blood red.
"Inside." Yamada Machi pointed to the back room: "Su Lin, where have you been hunting in the past few hours? The situation is not good now."
Su Lin didn't answer and walked straight to the back room.
He opened the door and what he saw was a humming emotional resonance machine. The ferocious hose was connected to Su Mingan's slightly drooped head, as if it was gnawing at his soul.
Su Ming'an leaned on the chair, his black hair hanging on the side of his face like withered grass, his face had turned completely gray, his lips were chapped and purple, and his condition was almost the same as that of a dead person.
Xi held Su Ming'an's hand tightly. Her legs were already numb, but she never moved even half a step.
Next to him was Noel, who seemed to be thinking, "How long has it been resonating?" Su Lin glanced at the indoor scene.
Xi glanced at Su Lin and whispered: "One hour and forty minutes." Su Lin said: "Then I probably won't wake up."
Noel suddenly raised his head: "Don't say such things."
Su Lin heard this and said coldly: "If I'm not around, won't you interrupt the resonance? If I don't come now, will you continue to allow the resonance to continue?"
Noel said coldly: "It's none of your business, it's his decision." Su Lin said: "But it's my fault." Noel was about to quarrel with Su Lin, but Su Lin suddenly gave in.
Su Lin put her hand on the machine and said calmly: "In the past hour and forty minutes, I still haven't found the god's back-up plan. There is something wrong with me in this regard."
"So if he doesn't wake up, I will take responsibility."
"He used to like running around alone, so I took him to various places." "He liked white hair, so I brought him all the white hair in the world of the Lord God."
"Probably, maybe he'll wake up."
Noel was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what cooperation agreement Su Ming'an and Su Lin had reached. He only said: "In addition to Praia, you finally see something more in your eyes? Do you finally realize that he is also a human being?"
"There is no conflict." Su Lin said: "If he doesn't wake up, I can't go back." After hearing this, Noel's face became even worse. Seeing the atmosphere in the room becoming more and more tense, Xi suddenly exclaimed.
"Xiao Shuai..." she called in a low voice. On the seat, Su Mingan's fingers moved slightly.
Everyone fell silent for an instant. At this time, Su Mingan slowly opened his eyes.
The color of his pupils seemed to be getting darker and darker, as if covered with a light haze, losing their original brilliance, and even his expression was stiff. When Zai Xi helped him stand up, he even said I staggered and almost forgot how to stand.
"Su Mingan." Noel called his name.
"Su Ming'an! Are you awake?" Upon hearing the voice, Yamada Town and others immediately rushed over and stood at the door: "Brother, you are finally awake!"
"Su Ming'an?" Su Lin stared into his eyes.
Su Mingan raised his eyelids slightly, looking at the gray wall with a blank look. In this look, Su Lin seemed to see countless rivers in the world.
"Su Ming'an!" "Su Ming'an!"
The room was silent, and Su Mingan did not respond to the call, as if he turned a deaf ear to the name.
Yamada Machichi and others were still calling "Su Ming'an", but Su Lin suddenly spoke and called in a tentative tone:
"Asa Akto?" At this time, Su Mingan finally reacted. He slowly raised his head and glanced at Su Lin.
Then, he said softly "Huh?"
