The black-haired young man's voice was loud:
"But I soon discovered that this was not enough. There are more and more people suffering from black fog, and more and more people are being judged as 'heretics' by the gods. You have no place in normal society, and you have fled to There is no peace anywhere.”
"This absurd world will not allow you to live."
"You can only laugh, you can't cry. You can only smile when you face the death of your loved ones, and you can only laugh when you face the bloody corpses - this kind of world where even emotions cannot be expressed freely has alienated human beings into ' Eyes don't need to see, ears don't need to hear' madman."
"Sober people, I am happy to see that you do not succumb to the gods and choose to stand up and no longer indulge in superstition. As your leader, I will establish a country here. From now on, we will have common beliefs and common interests. ideals, a common atmosphere of equality, common agreements and conventions.”
"The new country is called the 'Huomuli' country. The name of the country comes from the history that was covered up a hundred years ago. At the same time, we will cooperate with the 'official history faction' to excavate the human history that has been covered up by the gods, and human beings have lost it for hundreds of years. history—take it back bit by bit!”
"As we all know, the history of mankind has been buried for a long time. Except for the ten years that are very close to us, the previous history cannot be traced. This must be the handiwork of the gods, and He must make us forget a very shocking fact , will do this deliberately. My intention is to find our history! To find our era!"
"We still have a long way to go, the problems of human disunity and inequality, the contradiction between the emerging Dream Patrollers and the old aristocratic class, the contradiction between the excessive lack of resources and the needs of the Dream Patrollers - but I believe, We are walking on a correct and wise path. We use freedom and equality as the founding principles of the country, and are committed to realizing the equality of all citizens, ensuring citizens' emotional freedom and freedom to cry, and granting you the right to cry loudly even in public places .”
"so--"
The black-haired young man said loudly.
The long wind blew up the robe behind him, and the pure black national flag flowed like ink:
"Laugh loudly, cry loudly! No one can restrain you anymore!"
"We are free! Humanity is free!"
In an instant, the audience, which had been suppressed for a long time, burst into a sea of laughter and crying. People who have been subject to emotional control for a long time can finally laugh out loud and cry out in the sunshine.
People waved the cloth, wheat ears, and silk scarves in their hands, like a sea of rainbows. Men, women, old people, children, all shouted loudly.
"Huo Mulier! Huo Mulier!"
"The Pioneer Era! The Leader Era! The Official Era!"
"Lord Black Magpie! His Majesty Black Magpie!"
They chanted the name of the newly established kingdom and the name of the black-haired young man. The enthusiasm in their eyes was beyond imagination.
Black Magpie looked at the fanatical people with mockery in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed.
He raised a golden sword. The blade seemed to be made of jade. The hilt was a pair of holy white wings raised upward, like the wings of an angel. This sword looked like a holy sword.
"I have found a way to break fate." Black Magpie shouted words that people could not understand: "If you want to break, you can only awaken. I want to build a mirage independent of the human world and take you away from the shackles of the spirit of words. Land, to save you from the fate of obliteration, for which we need blood and conquest."
He raised the long sword high, and instantly, the long sword reflected a layer of breath-like rhythmic light, as if resonating with his words.
Under the sun, he was bathed in golden light. The golden color of the sun and the golden color of the sword both favored him. In the eyes of the people, he is like a holy son.
"This sword is called the 'Sword of Destiny', and it is one of the three elements of becoming a god, [energy]!" Black Queke's voice became slow and solemn at this moment, as if he was making an oath: "I swear to protect you with this sword to the death. Glory to humanity.”
People can't understand what Black Magpie says, and they don't understand some of the nouns in Black Magpie's words. But this did not prevent them from shouting loudly. The enthusiasm of the crowd was transmitted from top to bottom. They were like a drop of water in the river, shouting wildly and loudly.
"Huo Muli'er! Huo Muli'er! Huo Muli'er!"
Under the strong wind, Black Magpie held the pure black flag and looked at his people with a smile. Then, he looked far away, as if he was looking at the gods in the sky, but there seemed to be nothing there.
The wind blew up the cross necklace around his neck, glowing golden white in the sunlight.
"The fate of this world has officially begun, the moment you step out of the small town." Black Magpie murmured to himself in the direction of the sky:
"Welcome back, Lord Angel."
…
[Girl: Welcome back, Detective. 】
After loading the game, Su Mingan saw Alice with a smile as soon as his feet landed.
She seemed to have grown taller, her black hair had grown to her shoulders, and her figure was healthier. She was holding a stack of biscuits in her hand, next to a steaming cup of black tea.
Su Mingan looked around. There were many more knick-knacks in the house than before, such as doll ornaments and bow hairpins. There were also more seasoning bottles and vegetable bags in the kitchen, which gave it a strong sense of life. If the previous home was more like a temporary resting place. The current home has been decorated by Alice to make it more like a home, making people feel that they are really living here.
"Dingling bells--" The wind blew the wind chimes by the window, and Su Mingan looked out the window. Pink petals passed through his sight. People wearing thin clothes were selling summer vegetables and waving cattail fans in their hands.
…It’s summer now. It's really been half a year.
Su Mingan reached out and touched the girl's head.
…
[Detective: Alice. 】
[Girl: Detective, half a year has passed. I haven’t let you down, have I? 】
…
Su Mingan glanced at the lower left corner of his field of vision. In addition to [Attributes], [Message], and [Schedule], there was also a [Summary of the previous semester].
He clicked on [Previous Semester Summary], and a panel appeared:
…
[Last semester, Alice’s schedule was: Helping at the nurse’s station
Patients helped in total: 978
The favorability of Aunt Jenny at the nurse station has been increased to: 40 points
Get paid: 10 grams
The child's attributes are improved to:
Constitution +2

Emotional intelligence +4
Medical skill +20
Acquire new skills: Elementary Medical Skills
The reputation of Castle City has been improved to: Friendly

Note: Because Alice likes to run around in her spare time, she makes new friends: Issy, the inheritor of medical skills from the Baron family, Wendell, the light knight responsible for patrols near the royal city, Rita, a nun from the church, and the unidentified wild child Pat. . 】
…
Su Ming'an asked about the situation on Su Luoluo's side and found that the attributes of Su Luoluo's children were improving at about the same speed as Alice. There is nothing special about Alice at all, her learning speed is only at the level of ordinary people.
Looking at Alice, Su Mingan still praised.
[Detective: Yes, I had a good first semester. 】
[Girl: Hehe, I study very hard. 】
[Girl: Detective, I have learned the art of making biscuits. Can you try the biscuits I made and the black tea I made? 】
…
Su Mingan took a bite of Alice's biscuits and felt a floral fragrance blooming in her mouth. It was delicious. Black tea also has a spring flavor, like peach blossoms blooming on the branches.
Alice said that this is called "Spring Heart Biscuit", which is a kind of biscuit that people like to make when they are yearning for spring.
"Every time I think that after spring, the detective will come back. I have been looking forward to it." Alice said:
"I thought of what you said to me at the beginning, that you will come back in just half a year. So, these days I have been making spring cakes and making black tea over and over again, just for the moment when you come back, you can eat them freshly made Chunxin cakes and hot black tea.”
“It’s so nice to see your smile now.”
Su Mingan was startled, and then he realized that he was smiling. Every time he enters the game, he feels very relaxed, like he's back home.
Alice sat across the table and looked at him with her chin in her hands. She is thirteen years old and has a round face. She must have been fed well by her neighbors in the past six months.
…
[Detective: What happened in the past six months? For example, what important policies, what famous brave men, what kind of monsters emerged? 】
[Girl: Nothing big happened recently. I just heard that a certain force seems to have established a country. 】
[Detective: Jianguo? 】
…
Su Mingan glanced at the world map hanging on the wall. The world background of this game is very large. In addition to the Western country where they are located, there are also dozens of other countries. It’s just that the main plot of the game will take place in this country, and other countries are more like background boards.
…
[Girl: Hmm... It seems to be a new country called Huo Mu or something, right? The new nation claimed to be in rebellion against the gods. No one pays much attention to this newly established small country. This emerging small country basically cannot last long. 】
[Detective: It turns out there are gods here too. 】
[Girl: Yes, the gods often send oracles to tell His Majesty the King how to behave. Everyone will also listen to the orders of the gods. 】
[Detective: It sounds like the gods have a good reputation. 】
[Girl: Of course. The churches in the city are often overcrowded, and the streets are full of residents who go to pray. Everyone believes in the gods. The nun sister in the church told me that she would welcome me to go to church and become a nun in the future. 】
[Detective: Alice, what do you think of gods? 】
[Girl (thinking for a moment): I am not a fanatical believer in God, but I believe in all the goodness in the world, and I long to see happy smiles on people’s faces. If gods can make people happy, I am willing to believe in gods. But I won’t believe in a god if he’s secretly a bad guy. 】
[Detective: A rare sanity. 】
[Detective: If one day, the gods ask you to oppose me, Alice, what will you choose? 】
…
Alice was obviously startled. She didn't understand why Su Ming'an suddenly asked such a question.
…
[Girl: I...will choose you. 】
[Detective: Why? That is the omnipotent god. 】
[Girl: The vision of the gods is too big. He can see all the suffering humans on this land. This order of magnitude will be in the billions, and it cannot be specific to the joys and sorrows of a single person. And you, Mr. Detective, your vision is only for me. You only care about my fate. Your eyes can see me better. Therefore, if I have the opportunity to choose, I will choose you, because you are the person closest to me. You are not a god with a vast vision. We are the only ones who can rely on each other. 】
[Detective: Even if you are an enemy of the world? 】
[Girl: Even if you are against the world. 】
…
Su Mingan sighed.
Although Alice was only thirteen years old, when he thought about the prospects of this game and the original name of the Eye of the Old, he could vaguely see the cruel future.
"destiny".
She has been chosen and cannot escape.
It's like he was chosen by death.
"...Why are you so nice?" Su Mingan whispered.
Alice's face showed confusion, and she didn't understand why Su Mingan was so emotional.
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Detective, I also learned to grow flowers from Grandpa Morgan across the street. Come to the backyard with me!" Alice suddenly remembered something and pulled Su Mingan back.
Opening the curtain of the back door, Su Mingan looked up and saw a sea of lilies.
The white flowers sway in the late spring wind, as if they were carved from white marble, or like crystal clear crystal flowers. Alice walked to the sea of flowers in a few steps, opened her arms, and the warm wind blew up her floral skirt, dancing among the white flowers.
"These are the flowers that Grandpa Morgan left with me. He asked me to help him raise them. When I grow up, he will take the flowers away." Alice shouted: "Detective Sir! I have always taken care of these. Flowers, do you think they are beautiful?"
"...Yeah." Su Mingan nodded.
"As long as you like it." Alice laughed.
"I want to send this pot to Dr. Weiwei, and this pot... This pot will be left to Aunt Jenny. And this pot, Knight Wendell said he likes lilies very much, and will give it to him next time he comes to inspect... …”
Su Mingan raised his head and looked at Alice who was busy.
How long can such an ordinary life last?
Suddenly, he saw a new icon appear in the lower left corner of his field of vision.
…
[Pre-game questionnaire. 】
…
Su Mingan clicked on it, and a panel appeared:
[This questionnaire is a questionnaire issued by God to all Dream Patrol players in order to explore their game satisfaction. There are ten questions in total, please answer them truthfully. There will be a small reward after filling out the questionnaire. 】
【Question one:……】
…
This familiar game questionnaire makes Su Mingan feel like he has returned to the era of playing computer games.
"God?" Su Mingan whispered.
In addition to the anchor platform manager, forum pin administrator, forum post deletion administrator, and psychological counselor witness, God has another position - game satisfaction investigator?
The gods of this world really have an... indescribable sense of cyberspace. The End of Cthulhu is actually science fiction.
