Chapter 4 · “I love your soul.”

【Fifteen minutes ago】

"Wait... Tredia, I have something to ask you." Su Mingan said.

"Um?"

"Why did you announce that I was a bionic body before?"

Tredia: "Only by betraying you like this can I gain [Tavi]'s trust and successfully enter the City of God. Only then can I successfully rescue you."

"What exactly is [Tavi]?"

Tredia patiently explained: "[Tavi] are invaders from other civilizations. They cannot invade our world directly. They can only confuse agents like Lin Guang through whispers and trigger internal strife among humans. I guess, if When human beings are internalized to a certain extent, they may actually intervene in the world.”

She knew that her teacher, Asa Akto, was dead.

Those who came after him were all bionic bodies of Akto.

She was mentally prepared, knowing she would never see him again.

But the moment she first met Su Ming'an in Catastrophe 32, she was confused. He looks so much like Akto. He is also calm and determined, wise and courageous. He plays every one of the few good cards just right, leading the crumbling human civilization to its current situation.

"...The moment I saw you, I suddenly understood that the teacher will not die at all." Tredia smiled: "The obsession he had before his death was engraved into this world. Just like his immortal soul. No matter how many deaths there are and how many bones are accumulated, as long as there are people like you around, the fire of civilization will never go out."

Number of deaths…

Su Mingan's expression remained unchanged.

The floor-to-ceiling glass at the left end can see the snowy scene. From the height of the 107th floor, you can already see the firelight rising in the distance. If you have observation skills, you might be able to see Su Lin and others fighting in the air. The ground is full of blood. Millions of troops.

Walking along this corridor, Su Mingan suddenly felt something similar to "destiny". Although it was only seven days after the start of Kaiwusta, he felt that he had really experienced this vigorous dawn battle. The bell of fate is ringing at the last moment, and all the actors on the stage are moving uncontrollably towards the final outcome.

Will there be a winner in this war? Or will everyone perish together?

Tredia, Rongyuan, Xi, Sen, Xia Sheng, Cheng Luohe, Yaowen, Noah, Xiaobi... In these short seven days, he met countless people living in the past and history. Each of them does not look like an NPC, but like a living, real creature.

Tredia's beige hair fell down and brushed beside his ears. Her eyes were like amber, reflecting his figure intently:

"——I will help you realize all your wishes, whether it is overthrowing the god's camp. Whatever you want, I can do it."

This is an oath.

Her eyes were firm and fanatical. If Sibor was a giant iceberg lurking under the sea, Tredia was an active volcano that could erupt at any time. The extremely high heat and scalding lava could even cover her.

But Tredia doesn't have the chance of Sibor's reincarnation. She only has one life. What makes her desperate to help him? The City of God is full of dangers. Once she dies here, she will bear the name of "traitor" and be unable to stand up.

"I don't understand why you helped me. I am not the teacher you are familiar with." Su Mingan said.

"It doesn't matter, it's all the same to me."

Su Mingan frowned and emphasized: "But Actor and I are not the same person."

"What I love is your soul. I love the never-ending spiritual symbol of civilization. You have such a soul, and I love such a soul. It has nothing to do with who you are. As long as you always have such a soul." I will love you with all my soul.”

Her words stunned Su Mingan.

This unique and weird "love" was something he had never heard of before.

It penetrates appearance, money and life background, and only loves a person's most essential characteristics. This kind of love can be so broad that it can fall in love with anyone who has the same soul. It can also be extremely selfish and do anything for the soul that it just loves.

Tredia loves a soul so thoroughly... This kind of love that is vast and can be extremely selfish reminds him of the "love" of God.

At this moment she suddenly looked like a god.

"We're here." Tredia stopped suddenly. Inside the glass door was a white room, with a quiet cabin lying on the ground.

Lin Guang fell asleep in the recovery cabin, with a peaceful expression on his face, without any of the usual gloom or distortion on his face. When he closed his eyes, he looked exactly like Lu Shu, with a warm and calm aura about him.

...But this is a demon, a demon who sacrificed millions of lives and devastated the world. While the demon appears peaceful and harmless now, the demon only bares its fangs when awake.

"Why does he have to enter the rehabilitation cabin every year?" Su Mingan asked.

"Maybe it's to repair his memory." Tredia began to arrange the bomb. This is a pulse current bomb that can sweep through the room in an instant: "Lin Guang wakes up and is most vulnerable the moment he opens the hatch. We want to kill he."

Su Mingan turned his head and saw the heavy snow falling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows in the corridor. The snowy scene unfolded before his eyes like a movie curtain, almost within reach, with white epiphyllums reflecting the distant firelight.

It turns out that the City of God cannot maintain spring all year round.

In this world, there is no spring at all.

…

Time passed little by little.

The moment Lin Guang opened his eyes and stood up, Theredia detonated the bomb in an attempt to kill Lin Guang.

"boom--!!"

Explosions and explosions.

The fire swept through the room instantly like a tsunami. The floor-to-ceiling glass in the corridor, which was only two meters away, expanded due to heat and bent like tissue paper. In an instant, heavy snow poured in through the gap, turning Su Mingan's hair white instantly.

"Huhuhu——!"

One side was filled with flames, while the other side was filled with ice and snow. In an instant, the 107th floor was as bright as day. Su Mingan took a step back and clearly heard the screams coming from his body.

Old bullet wounds, the residual effects of anesthetics, side effects of mental stabilization capsules, lack of physical energy... A series of negative effects surged out at this moment, and the cold intensified Su Ming'an's senses.

He instantly added another 4,000 mana worth of space vibration into the room. With a loud sound that almost shattered his eardrums, everything in his field of vision was trembling and steaming——

"Teacher!" Tredia came to help him.

"Kill Linguang!" Su Mingan shouted immediately.

Tredia did not hesitate and rushed indoors.

This level had begun to shake, and Tredia rushed straight towards the recovery cabin, her pupils almost dyed blood red——

She saw the glimmer of light in the fire.

His body was scalding hot, as if it was disintegrating under the light, with half of his body scorched, revealing large areas of charred, cracked flesh. He seemed to be saying something, but the voice was too fragmented for her to hear clearly.

"Squeaky-!!!"

The ceiling cracked, and several awakened robots stood firmly in front of her. She fired away with a single shot. The combat power of up to 3,000 made her feel like a tiger among sheep.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The fire exploded, and black fire rose up. Her hands turned into metal arms, and she punched the robot. The interface of the robot was cracked, and the body and head were separated. With her long hair flying, she struck with a knee, her knee hitting the chest of the flying robot.

"Bang!"

Metal pieces were flying down all over the sky, she opened and closed her palms, and the sharp metal thorns pointed directly at Lin Guang——

At this moment, she finally heard Lin Guang's voice.

"Tredia, humanity has lost a long time ago. You and I are both struggling ants in the world." Lin Guang looked desperate. The recovery of his memory reminded him of a lot of things. He already knew the nature of this world.

"It's you who deserve to die!" Tredia couldn't help shouting.

But Lin Guang just looked at her:

"Tredia. D-R-E-A-D."

next moment.

Tredia's fingers stopped in front of Lin Guang's neck.

Her expression turned from anger to confusion, then disbelief, doubt, sadness... Finally, only despair remained on her face.

Lin Guang's words were like a switch. At this moment, a large number of memories emerged in her mind.

…

Su Mingan waited at the door for a while, but Tredia did not return. He sat down holding on to the wall, his body almost freezing.

The wind and snow met his face, and the fire was soaring into the sky in the distance. It was now eleven o'clock at midnight, the war had entered a fierce stage, and countless lives were lost every second.

"Da, da -" footsteps came from the right end of the corridor.

A red-haired woman came slowly. Her face is youthful and beautiful, and a shell necklace hangs around her neck.

——Su Mingan knows her.

She died sixteen years ago, when Doomsday City was first established. Her name was Feisi and she died from a bottle of poisoned milk. Why is she here?

"Hello." The red-haired woman's words were rigid and rigid, like a running program:

"It's too cold. Please drink some hot milk." She reached out and handed him the milk bottle in her hand.

"Who are you?" Su Mingan asked.

"I am Feisi, a mother." Feisi said.

"Aren't you dead?"

Feisi handed him the milk again: "Drink some hot milk. At your age, drinking some milk will help you grow taller."

But Su Mingan didn't answer.

He looked at the silk thread that looked like a program, and suddenly he vaguely realized the truth of the world, even though there was still a layer of paper that couldn't be penetrated.

At this moment, a strong sense of absurdity and rupture rose in his heart.

He heard Lin Guang's voice.

"Luvis." Linguang said:

"You usually play games, so when you control the characters to fight, you let them get beaten and injured over and over again. Have you ever thought about how sad it would be if they were conscious but couldn't control themselves and were always controlled by us?"

"I don't understand what you said." Su Mingan said.

Lin Guang just smiled miserably.

There was no light in his eyes.
