First Player

Chapter 54 “It’s so cold.”

The black wall extends infinitely, like a giant black snake crawling on the ground.

A thin layer of ice formed around it, and the frost covered the stationary bus stops and collapsed houses... blending strangely with the sunlight outside.

It’s like all the history and civilization of this modern city are condensed into a moment in the past.

Sibel stepped tentatively closer to the city she had longed for.

"Click, click, click."

Several crisp sounds sounded in succession, and the air was torn like paper. She couldn't tell whether it was ice cracking or bone cracking.

She just stepped forward stiffly, like a machine, wanting to touch the ray of sunlight projected from the outside world.

For her, the doomsday unfolding before her eyes was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The cruel truth told her that everything she did was meaningless. Even though she had succeeded more than once before, she would always return to the original starting point.

...The scariest thing is not that you can't succeed, but that even if you succeed after all the hardships, you know that this road has no end from the beginning.

——It turns out that the HE Eternal Sleep that puts everyone to sleep forever is really the best ending she can do.

"Huh...huh..."

Due to the cold weather, every breath she took would bring out a small piece of hot and humid white air.

Finally, she took one step forward and entered the long-destroyed city.

"clatter."

Her steps hit the ground, crushing a stone that was on the verge of turning into powder.

——She crossed this dividing line that no Skylander could ever cross.

Under the sky, everything comes to life. She once used the body of a "monster" to try to rival the gods and become a "god" among "monsters".

However, when the place where monsters gathered ironically became the last piece of pure land in the world, her expectations, resentment and anger were all chewed up with blood and swallowed by herself.

Looking at this scene of dead bones and devastation everywhere,

She suddenly grinned and smiled almost maniacally.

"The sea——!"

“—The sea!!!”

"Su Mingan!" She turned her head suddenly, her eyes bright and frightening.

Bathed in the bright sunshine outside, her floating white hair was as smooth as a galaxy, sparkling the moment she turned her head.

"——I saw the sea! Su Mingan! Behind me and around my feet, there is the sea——"

Her eyes sparkled with childlike joy.

Her white hair trembled with her manic laughter, and mottled light shone on her pale cheeks.

She took a step back, and the dust from the collapsed black wall danced with her steps. Even the collapsed high-rise buildings behind her were glowing with a golden rim of the sun.

Warm, beautiful, brilliant.

She stood in the sunshine, like a beautiful frameless oil painting.

"——Look, Su Ming'an! Have you seen the sea? It's so beautiful, so wide... and there are flowers. Do you see the flowers? Red, layered... Are they the legendary roses?"

"I heard Teacher Fang say that the white ones with large petals are called lilies. The ones that are small and gathered like stars are called gypsophila. Also, there are bright yellow ones like the cup. ——It’s called Tulip…”

Su Mingan listened to her.

There is nothing here.

No sea, no flowers, nothing.

The ground, the air, and people's bones... are all filled with the smell of curse pollution. It is obvious that the cause of the destruction of the outside world is the leakage of the curse.

Maybe it's because some of them have touched the Pandora's box of curses... This period may be mixed with sectarian struggles, social collapse, technological wars, etc....

But the reason no longer matters.

Already, there is nothing.

She was immersed in her longing fantasy and created a beautiful HE dream for herself.

She cheered, jumped for joy, and jumped around in the ruins, as if she was creating a doomsday carnival for one person.

She suddenly tripped over a raised steel bar and hit the ground face down with a dull click.

"boom!"

She hit the ground.

She stopped moving.

"Xi Boer..." Su Mingan stretched out his hand.

She fell to the ground, face down, her fingers tightened, and she clawed at the rough stone surface, drawing out blood.

"Su Mingan."

She fell to the ground and suddenly let out an extremely calm voice.

It was completely different from her before when she was laughing crazily. Her calmness at this time was not truly calm, but proof that she was extremely crazy.

She no longer regards her emotions as emotions.

"The outside world no longer exists." She still fell face down to the ground.

Blood slowly spread from her face and stained the stone surface.

"Yeah." Su Mingan said.

"No one can come to save us. The curse can no longer be erased. Everyone...is destined to die."

"Yeah." Su Mingan said.

"Cleaning up those of us who will create a curse and killing those of us who will pollute the world...are the best solutions to the problem," she said.

"..."

"In this way, when the era changes, the creatures created after that will still have a chance to survive." She said: "What Master Jiu Shen did is right."

"What's wrong is that we know that survival is a mistake, but we still struggle desperately to stay alive," she said.

She stood up slowly.

Her pale face was stained red with blood, and even her forehead and the tip of her nose were dented. She looked a little funny, but he couldn't laugh.

Looking at Xi Boer's collapse, Su Mingan couldn't help but look away.

Looking at her appearance, he always felt like he was looking at someone who would fail in the future...

Too similar.

so similar.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.

This seems to be the voice of a long-lost god...

…

"——Ah, you are here."

…

Noel opened his eyes and woke up, rubbing his hair, feeling a little annoyed.

He lost in the castle dungeon, lost his qualification, and just returned.

"That man in black robe turned out to be Lu Shu... Huh, no wonder they keep targeting me. The three black beasts all rushed towards me. As for... Such a brainless guy is really stubborn."

He clicked on the live broadcast interface.

The top one is Su Mingan's live broadcast room, with a popularity of 500 million. And below, rows and rows are all live broadcasts of the first player.

"Find a better place to see Su Ming'an." He put on his mask, went out, and found a dessert shop to sit down.

Surrounded by young lovers, the chaos in the world of the Lord God did not seem to affect these people who were passionately in love.

They flirt with each other, you give them a peck and I give them a kiss, as if they have nothing to do with the future of the world.

In the live broadcast, it was Siboer who was desperate. The desolate apocalyptic scene lay behind her, and she smiled like a madman.

...No, I should say, he is just a lunatic.

Barrage followed them like snowflakes all over the mountains and plains.

[The first player deserves to be the first player. Is this perfect clearance almost successful? 】

[It suddenly occurred to me that the title of An Jiang's live broadcast room seemed to be "World Game, Online Vacation", but he was not on vacation, and he was exhausted every time. 】

[Indeed, I feel that this is the most tiring time... Other players at the top of the list couldn't bear it and left early. Su Mingan has been on the most dangerous front line...]

[Refer to Edward for details. 】

[The world has changed, and I really feel that the atmosphere has become much more solemn, and I feel like I am witnessing a turning point in history...]

【Everyone is in history, no one can escape. Maybe we are the last batch of human history. 】

[Bah, bah, bah, what a crow's mouth...]

Perhaps there are too many recent facts that have affected the audience. The topic in the live broadcast room is all about the world of the Lord God, and only a few people care about Siboer's world.

For most people, their own world is almost unsustainable and they have no time to care about others.

A large number of people were keeping a close eye on Su Mingan's mental state, fearing that he would be like the host of the previous live broadcast room, who would go crazy whenever he wanted. If Su Mingan goes crazy, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the current world game.

Noel sipped the strawberry juice and looked at Sibur going crazy.

After watching it for a while, he found it boring again. I just feel that this girl is still too fragile and too crazy. If it were Su Mingan, he would definitely be countless times stronger than her...

Well, it’s not good to step on them.

Noel reflected on himself and clicked on the World Forum, intending to see what kind of trouble these humans were up to.

In the interface of the World Forum, hot posts are arranged according to their popularity, and you can basically tell what the recent situation is at a glance.

[The (Hot) United Group, the Stowe Alliance, and the Human Self-Rescue Research Group jointly issued a declaration on the protection of sanity. Sanitary skills are classified as nuclear weapon-level standards. No player is allowed to use them on other players first, otherwise they will be included in the human blacklist...]

[(Hot) It is rumored that Edward had a mental breakdown. The United Group Kungunilko issued a statement to refute the rumors. 】

[(Hot) Speculations about the Ninth World, top player Lu takes the initiative to disclose information about people with special identities——]

…

When Noel saw that "Edward's mental breakdown was a rumor," he sneered and took a sip of strawberry juice.

The next moment, when he saw a post that he accidentally brushed, his joking eyes suddenly stopped.

His pupils shrank, his heartbeat skipped a beat, and the strawberry juice in his mouth condensed on his tongue.

…

[——Guide and adventurer match? Speculations about the reincarnation of the first player! 】

…

His expression did not change, and he continued to glance down at the original browsing speed. He did not show anything strange, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.

...He should have guessed that this day would come.

He is still unclear about the conditions for Su Mingan's return, but he can vaguely guess some.

Although these remarks are still nonsense, it may not be impossible to say that the current organizers have not discovered it yet.

Who would be teasing the ants at their door and suddenly have the thought - "Will this ant go back in time for me?"

But if there are more and more clues...

He left the dessert shop and stood at the street corner.

On the street, the flow of people was significantly reduced, and the originally lively game watching scene also subsided.

Noel stood for a while and suddenly said this.

"……so cold."

He looked up.

The simulated canopy covered his head like a pot.

The weather in January is very low, and the Dragon Kingdom is about to celebrate the New Year. It seems that the Dragon Kingdom is talking about inviting a group of original great artists to recreate the Dragon Kingdom Spring Festival Gala on Zhai Xing.

He stood quietly at the street corner, the cold wind blowing his blond hair.

"...It's too cold." After a moment, he said again.

Suddenly, he turned around and saw a graceful woman.

She has an approachable aura about her, and her rose-colored hair hangs loosely on her narrow shoulders.

"Dear [Watcher]." The woman said, "We want to invite you to a place."
