First Player

Chapter 62 Chapter 61 · "He is God."

[White Machinery City·Inner City]

The sky screams and the earth cracks, like a spectacular scene of death.

The magenta glow was like thick blood sinking into the sunset, and thousands of chaotic colored lights surged, reflecting the images of people fighting and shouting on the broken glass.

"Bang bang bang——"

There was continuous gunfire and artillery fire, rivers of blood flowed in the streets and alleys, and the war had entered a white-hot stage.

Countless soldiers passed by the corner, blood splattered and footsteps loud and clear.

Dingyue was injured and leaned against the ruins, breathing heavily.

"I believe in the leader, he will definitely be able to kill Bai Xiong..." she said softly.

A player is helping her add blood: "If you are the first player, you will definitely win."

"Well, if it was him..." Dingyue thought of the young man playing the piano in the daylight. It's hard to imagine what kind of surprise she saw at that time.

The powerful, wise and charismatic leader plays pure music in front of the piano. That music soothes everyone's soul.

It would be nice if that moment was frozen, as if an invisible god waved its hand in the air, the leader's eyes looked clear and gentle, and his heart seemed to encompass everything in the world.

She trusted him, respected him, even... believed in him.

He is like a...god who leads everyone to freedom.

"If it were him." Dingyue looked steadily at the flames of war outside the wall: "We will definitely win. On that day, children don't have to be afraid. They can write, read, play the piano, and see the blue sky. The sky and the white clouds..."

…She believed he was a god.

…

Suburbs.

The rain kept falling.

The night was so dark that it was almost impossible to see the way forward. Residents clamored to stop Su Mingan.

"Let's go!" Su Mingan threw Alyssa high into the distance.

The white light in the space lit up, and he initiated spatial displacement. When he reappeared, already tens of meters away, he caught Alyssa who had fallen and rushed out of the circle of residents.

Her body was light and her bones seemed hard.

The angry and lamenting voices behind him became farther and farther away. Su Mingan carried Alyssa on his back and rushed out in the pouring rain.

The rebel army is attacking the inner city. What he has to do is to kill Shiro and stop the operation of the mechanical army - he is the most critical person in the war.

He broke through the rain and rushed towards the wilderness. The surrounding scene became increasingly desolate, with only fallen weeds, broken bricks and tiles, and desolate building ruins remaining.

The barrage keeps flowing:

【Too dangerous! Too dangerous! 】

[It turns out that dungeons can be so exciting. This is a big war. Will there be a war involving hundreds of thousands of people in the future? 】

[I want to watch Western Fantasy, I want to see the Pope King, the Dragon Princess, the Demon King and the Hero, Atlantis and the Siren, woo woo woo...]

[These residents are so rotten, why do they even want to kill the people who saved them? 】

[Alas... Times are different, and the three views are different. 】

[The first player's condition feels so bad...can he really make it to the end? 】

[Just a student, sooner or later someone will replace him. The real boss hasn’t shown off his power yet! 】

【……】

Su Ming'an heard the upgrade prompt for level one and nine. It should be that Ming's side gained enough experience and upgraded.

"Cough... cough cough..."

As he ran, he actually started coughing.

The pollution in his body became more and more serious, which was related to his fatigue. In the past few days, he had only slept for eight or nine hours in total while discussing the war route with Vincent and others.

"Go forward... Bai Xiong should be over there." Alisa said: "I remember that there is an abandoned church over there, and that is the only place that can be repaired."

The night is thick and lingering.

Alyssa tugged on his cloak, and the slightly deformed fabric made a slight friction sound. She lay on top of him, and the skin of her hands became paler, like frost climbing up rocks in winter.

She whispered: "If you kill Bai Xiong, you will become the leader of Bai City."

"I know." Su Mingan said.

"I think..." Alyssa said.

She didn't finish her words, she just stopped here.

They stumbled toward the outside world, and Shiro left footprints in the mud as he ran away.

Alyssa actually wants to say——

She felt,

Su Mingan always watched everyone's actions as a bystander. Like all human beings, in his eyes they are just puppets that move on strings.

Although he showed full respect and equality, his bystander-like attitude was very concerning.

Just like... a god.

A god who participates in it but never indulges in it. He is so calm that he seems to have nothing to do with the world.

…

Is he a god?

…

The rain fell in torrents.

The night is thick and the cold rain is like a cold sword, piercing people's bodies.

Su Mingan carried Alyssa on his back and walked in the muddy suburbs. The surrounding temperature dropped little by little.

His breathing became heavy, and it felt like there was a heavy iron tied to his body. Even the first player was only a human body, and he was not strong enough to ignore heat and cold.

...so cold.

it's too cold.

Alyssa stretched out her hands, and she hugged his cold neck. She stretched her arms and tilted her head forward, as if she wanted to protect him from the overwhelming rain.

She hummed a little tune to help him stay awake.

This is a song she specially learned from the players in the past few days. She originally wanted to sing it at the resistance's victory dinner in the future, but she didn't expect to use it here.

"A witch accidentally wandered into the castle~

She lights up the front with a star~

She is more dangerous than a sharp knife~

But she is very beautiful..."

Su Mingan carried her on his back and walked forward step by step.

The heat she blew warmed his ears, and her clear singing voice was like the wind blowing through the rice fields, full of light and hope:

"The king stared at her intently when he met her~

Don't miss such a good opportunity~

The index finger gently touches the king's heart~

That is exactly the formula needed for the potion..."

"Alyssa." Su Mingan suddenly said.

"Huh?" Alyssa stopped singing and responded softly.

"You said I was always nice to you, so why did you follow me regardless of the risk and be so nice to me?" Su Mingan's voice was calm in the heavy rain.

The sticky darkness engulfed Alyssa's face. She turned her head and looked at him, as if there was a loneliness brewing in her eyes that could keep her watch all night.

After a moment, she smiled.

She is always laughing.

"I want to grow up."

“Wanting to wear something different in color, even a short skirt.”

"I want to be able to look at the stars freely in the dark night without fear of anyone hurting me."

"There should be many people who have dreams similar to mine... I want them to have similar happiness like me - if you live and win the battle, thousands of 'them' like me will also To be happy.”

"I want to help you, even if I am weak. I want you to see that the people you are saving are people like me."

Su Mingan was slightly startled.

He originally thought that Alyssa just relied on him and wanted to follow him all the time.

But he now discovered that her will was far beyond his imagination.

——It turned out that she wanted him to see that there were many children like her who were suffering. Wanting her presence to remind him that there were many children like her who had not been saved.

She wanted him to know that the people he was saving were people like her, and asked him not to give up.

So she will always risk her life to follow him. As long as she exists, he will think of thousands of "Elisas" who have not yet been saved.

——Her ideal at this moment is more like a selfless "god" than his.

"Alyssa..." He said somewhat hesitantly. He was shocked by Alyssa.

But she held her head high, smiled, and continued singing loudly, her voice more sweet than a lark:

"But the witch knows,

The human heart is a very troublesome raw material~

But don't worry,

Because people’s hearts are full of wisdom~

And the witch realized in the castle,

She was loved by the king,

Falling in love with the king..."

…

There was lightning and thunder, and the lightning was like a crack tearing open the night.

In the heavy rain, Su Mingan saw an abandoned church.

That splendid building - it has a tall spire, mirrored stained glass with patterns, and slender columns standing high, making it appear light and slender.

Like a forest-white tombstone silent in the rain.

There was religion in Baicheng before, but unfortunately as the system became colder, people abandoned their faith and the church was abandoned. This church is one of them.

A figure in a white coat fell at the door of the church, soaked in the rain.

Su Mingan suddenly thought - according to the diary, Bai Xiong was in very bad health, the pollution on his body was very serious, and he might die at any time.

That figure was Bai Xiong who had passed out. Bai Xiong kept running away, and was finally intercepted by him.

Alyssa jumped down on her own initiative, and Su Mingan immediately shifted in space and slashed in the direction of Bai Xiong——

"boom!"

A forest-white cross, like a human skeleton, blocked Su Mingan's Arman sword. Bai Xiong barely raised his body, coughing and erecting the cross.

The cross, a symbol of faith abandoned by the cold White City, was actually used by Bai Xiong to protect his own life at the last moment.

…

"Ding dong!"

[Start the boss battle (Hakuo Rokaya), current combat power: 450 (seriously ill, aging)]

[Because you captured the important information left by the chip, Bai Xiong was not protected by the mechanical army, and his combat power was reduced from 1200 to 450. 】

[Comparison of winning odds: 76%]

…

Under the colorful windows, the night is rich.

The leader of the resistance army aimed his sword at the leaders of Baicheng, and the abandoned church became their last battlefield.

"You are... the leader of the resistance, Eleven." Bai Xiong's intermittent voice drifted over. He was supporting the cross, his whole body was soaked and his face was pale: "Although I have never seen your face, I know it must be You. Damn it...who discovered the secret of the underground base?"

"Being a great mother."

Su Mingan said coldly, stabbing forward with the long sword——

"boom!"

Bai Xiong took out his pistol and reluctantly fired a shot. Su Ming'an dodged sideways and the sword deflected, failing to hit Bai Xiong.

Bai Xiong stumbled into the church. Su Mingan coughed and followed closely.

This is a high-rise building covered with dust. Someone has taken away the gilding from the walls. The faint dawn light shines through the colorful windows inlaid with small glass blocks, like traces of bright lace.

The long night will dawn.

In the center of the church - is an empty coffin, covered with rotting roses. Perhaps someone wanted to be buried here not long ago, but it was not carried out and only a rose coffin was left.

Baixiong coughed and was forced to the innermost part of the church - a tall statue stood there, blocking the dawn from the church's stained windows, and he stood in the shadow.

Each pillar is engraved with raised reliefs, like images of the gods.

Su Mingan paid careful attention to the angle of Bai Xiong's pistol.

"Do you really want to kill me, leader of the resistance army?" Bai Xiong leaned crookedly on the coffin, smiling miserably: "If I die, all the mechanical army will be shut down, and the resistance army will control the inner city... you know what will happen What kind of situation is this? No one can reproduce, and Baicheng will become extinct soon..."

"I don't care." Su Mingan finally said his true thoughts.

He faced Bai Xiong with cold eyes.

His perfect mission is to kill Shiro and obtain the mechanical core of the inner city.

Therefore, no matter what Bai Xiong said, he would kill Bai Xiong.

If a human being who is extremely indifferent and observes everything can be called a "god\

,"…He is indeed “God”.
