First Player

Chapter 1058 Chapter One Thousand and Fifty-Six · "Leverage the other to live together."

 The moment the conditions for resurrection are met, a brilliant, golden light comes to life.

 An ancient, powerful, and familiar coercion emerged from Alice.

The starry sky was washed with blue-purple brilliance, and misty, viscous, blue-green semi-liquid energy appeared around him. The buzzing in his ears was like the breathing of a giant beast in the deep sea. Every vibration sounded like the beating of a heart, which made people feel uneasy.

"Wait for one day, and the alien king will be revived." Black Magpie pressed Su Mingan's shoulder: "Follow me."

"I'll wait here..." Su Mingan looked at Alice.

"The Alien King is the synthesis of all negative emotions. If you are not afraid of becoming a madman, then you can wait here." Black Magpie shrugged indifferently, but the strength of his fingers showed his concern.

 “...Okay.” Su Mingan could only turn around.

 The black magpie took him to a room. The room is located on the highest floor, overlooking the entire mechanical city.

"You rest here for a day." Black Magpie warned: "This door can isolate pollution, you stay here, don't go out, especially don't enter other locked rooms. Wait until the alien king wakes up, then go up .”

 “Where are you going?” Su Mingan said.

"I'm going to another room that can isolate the pollution. Remember, don't run around." Black Magpie closed the door.

Su Mingan sat on the bed and stared at the back of his left hand.

  —There is a white streak here.

Its texture is very similar to the texture of perfect clearance, but it is much shallower than the texture of perfect clearance. This is likely to appear after clearing the third game "Girls' Dream Project". That was the moment the disc shattered.

“Is it the ‘perfect clearance pattern’ of the Dream Patrol game?” Su Mingan stared at a faint pattern on the back of his left hand, and then looked at the seven perfect clearance patterns on the back of his right hand.

At this time, the door was opened again, and it was Black Magpie. He held a stack of muffins and coffee and handed it to Su Mingan with a smile: "I brought it to you considering that hot drinks will help you sleep."

Su Mingan thanked him but didn't eat it, just put it aside.

Black Magpie did not leave, but stared at him for a long time.

It was... like jealousy, like envy, like awe, extremely complicated eyes, looking extremely gloomy.

When Su Mingan raised his head as if feeling something, Black Magpie immediately put on a smile again:

 “Sometimes I envy you.”

 “Oh.” Too many people envied Su Mingan, and Su Mingan had no idea.

"You are the 'protagonist'...how enviable..." Black Magpie said softly, clenching his fingers slowly.

His voice was too soft and Su Mingan didn't hear it.

Hei Que stroked the cross necklace on his chest and looked at Su Mingan for a few seconds before closing the door and leaving. That look in his eyes seemed to be longing for an untouchable figure.

 The room returned to silence.

"Su Ming'an, there's something wrong with Black Magpie's eyes when he looks at you, like he's jealous. But I don't know what he's jealous of. It also feels like longing..." At this time, Chang Ge spoke out.

 Chang Ge has said a lot recently. This time the battle of the lighthouse was mainly about Changge thinking about tactics, so that Su Mingan could convey instructions to the resurrected people in time. If this battle is won, Changge will definitely be the first success.

Su Mingan is very grateful to this player with excellent military abilities. There is always no shortage of geniuses in the world, but there are really not many who can keep up with Su Mingan's ideas. If Changge hadn't had bad luck in the past, the players at the top of the list would definitely have a place.

 “I always feel very uneasy...” Chang Ge said.

Su Mingan didn’t speak.

Jiuyou is isolated from the outside world, and even the white and black cats left on the ground have lost contact. I wonder if Yamada Machichi and the others can locate and teleport here. He looked out the window, and saw the sticky blue-green light escaping from the rooftop, spreading throughout the Nine Netherworld, and the alien king's heartbeat was getting louder and louder.

 Dong, dong, dong.

Every time it sounded, it seemed to resonate with Su Mingan's chest. It was an unusually harmonious... sense of fusion. It's like the hearts of Su Mingan and the Alien King are one.

 This made him feel flustered.

 …

 【TE1·Perfect clearance progress: 97%】

 …

 “You go to sleep, this is a hard-earned rest time.” Chang Ge said.

Su Mingan suddenly said:

 “I’m very grateful to you, Changge, but I don’t want to lose trust in you either.”

  Sometimes when he wakes up from a nap, he will find that his shoes have moved slightly. Black Cat told him that sometimes Changge would use his body to go out, but he basically didn't do anything. He just went somewhere to look at the wind, look at the sky, or write, play a musical instrument, talk to himself, or just Moving some items meaninglessly and smashing some harmless props. Because he didn't do anything bad, Su Ming'an didn't take any action to imprison Changge. The kid Changge must have been depressed, meeting someone like him who rarely sleeps.

In the past few days, although Chang Ge didn't talk much, he was really reliable. Su Mingan didn't want Changge to suddenly change his face and do something treacherous after he fell asleep. After all, the black cat and the white cat are no longer around.

"...No, Su Ming'an." Chang Ge's voice was still clear: "So many audiences are looking at you. If I still want to hang out in the future, I will not abandon you. Besides, we are friends, and friends will not harm you. Yours. I know you’ve been betrayed by some of your friends, but I’m not them and I won’t.”

Su Mingan’s eyes flashed.

 In fact, he was already very sleepy and wanted to fall down on the soft bed. If Changge can protect his safety, it will be one of the few heart-warming aspects of the game mechanism.

"I... will take a nap. If an accident happens, wake me up with pain." Su Mingan said.

No matter what, he can't sit here for a whole day, he must rest.

 “Okay.” Chang Ge said.

 After Su Mingan fell asleep, he woke up once within half an hour.

Chang Ge is playing the piano next to the bed, which is a song "For Alice" that Su Ming'an has hummed.

"It's okay, you continue." Seeing that the situation was normal, Su Mingan fell asleep again.

Chang Ge’s eyes were a little deeper.

His fingers pressed the hard lump in his abdomen, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, and he quickly resumed his playing posture. A smooth song "Female Elise" flowed out, like a vivid and rolling stream in the cold mechanical city.

 …

Black Magpie closed the door of Su Mingan's room. He never left, but stopped at the door for a long time. Hearing the piano sound that was as sweet as flowing water, his eyes became deeper and deeper. His fingers touched the cold cross pendant, he kissed it and stayed at the door for a long time.

 “You haven’t come back yet? Black Magpie.” Suddenly, a young voice came from Black Magpie’s headset.

Hei Que then left the door of Su Mingan's room, pressed the headset and responded: "I'm back, I'll see you right away."

Black Magpie walked to the end of the corridor and opened a locked door.

 Inside the door are the same furnishings as Su Mingan's room. The bed, the blue window screen, the piano by the bedside, and the music score on the table.

 The most surprising thing is—sitting on the bed is a person with the same appearance as Su Mingan. With black hair, black eyes, and wearing pajamas and slippers, it was obvious that he had been living in the room for a long time. He was meditating on the music and learning to play the piano.

Hei Que held a stack of muffins and coffee and handed it to the young man: "I considered that hot drinks will help you sleep, so I brought them to you. If you are tired, please take a rest."

 The size of the waffle, the temperature of the coffee, the angle at which Black Magpie leaned, and the arc of the smile on his face were all exactly the same as when he had just given the waffle to Su Mingan. It was as if the scene had been recreated all over again.

However, the young man on the bed had a completely different reaction from Su Mingan. He looked at the muffin in Black Magpie's hand and took it with a smile: "Okay, I'll eat it right away."

 The next moment, Black Magpie's expression suddenly changed, and his respectful attitude completely changed.

 He stretched out his hand, pressed the young man against the wall, and said coldly: "—As 'Su Mingan', how can you eat food given by others! No! Where is the error in the data?"

The young man's face turned red and his voice became a bit robotic: "But according to...'personality'...I am...very tired now...I really want...to eat some sweets. Moreover, your favorability level has been raised to the full value. So. ,'Su Ming'an' accepts your food...is...reasonable..."

Black Queke shook his head and repeated like crazy: "That's not right - originally I thought there was no problem. According to common sense, 'Su Mingan' should accept the food I gave you. Your reaction was not wrong. But in fact, he himself just You didn’t act to accept the food, so it’s wrong, wrong! Your reaction—it’s wrong!”

Black Magpie's fingers tightened due to anger, fear appeared on the young man's face, and his inorganic voice became a little emotional: "I... was wrong, let me... figure it out... I... will not deviate from the 'set' again. …”

 The disappointment on Black Magpie's face was even heavier.

“How can you show such an expression of fear?” Black Magpie seemed to have seen an extremely ugly work of art.

The next moment, he increased the strength in his hand, and the young man in his hand suddenly exploded and turned into a point of light and penetrated into his body. It's like a black magpie "eating" the young man.

Black Magpie took a step back, gasping for air, and half of his exposed face was red with emotion. He rubbed his fingers, which were still warm.

“Record No. 3018 failed.” Black Magpie muttered to himself, took out the tablet and wrote: “Write down the last data of the failed product and start fine-tuning. Until the similarity is closer...”

 “The wish of a thousand years of mythology…The wish of a thousand years of mythology…”

 …

As the sky grew brighter, Yamada Machichi looked at the compass-shaped prop in his hand.

 “Road! This thing doesn’t work!” Yamada Machichi shouted.

Seeing that Su Mingan had entered the Nine Netherworld, the positioning props kept failing, and they were unable to teleport into the Nine Netherworld.

“It seems that Jiuyou can isolate the teleportation props, so there is nothing we can do.” Lu touched his chin.

"Then we will form an elite team to break through. Now that Su Mingan has entered, the defense line is much looser." Rimusheng suggested.

Lu nodded: "We just need to let the elite go. Su Mingan doesn't need combat help, we can help him. The key is not to hold him back."

 After everyone discussed it, a four-person group consisting of Yamada Machichi, Lu, Li Yuxuan, and Yi Zhongyu went. Their combat strength is generally between 3,000 and 4,000, and they have the ability to protect themselves.

The black cat on Yamada Town’s shoulder moved.

 “What’s wrong, Black Flame?” Yamada Machi tilted his head.

 "Meow meow meow! (Su Mingan wants you to come over quickly! Black Cat's words were translated by summoning players.

 “What should I do to prepare?” Yamada Machichi asked.

 “Meow! Meow meow meow! (Bring on the Immortal Talisman and Seal Script!)”

Yamada Machichi has an immortal talisman seal in his hand called "Copy", which he obtained by completing a mission. Seeing this, they went to Yamada Town with their talisman seals.

“Tell me, will Jiuyouhui be like MC, full of magma and obsidian?” On the way, Yamada Machichi joked: “Before, Su Mingan said he wanted to play computer games.”

Lu, however, had no expression on his face, just staring at the map in his hand.

Yamada Machichi stopped smiling. He sometimes felt that his teammates were a little unhappy. Mingming Lu should have smiled to save face, but Lu didn't.

 …Are my jokes so boring? Yamada Town thought.

 “Let’s go, try to arrive within an hour, hurry up.” Lu closed the map and said calmly.

 …

 Manzhu and sandflowers are in full bloom, and the stream is as deep as ink.

 A young man held a long pole and crossed from the stream, gradually approaching Jiuyou. The ghostly wind blew up the corners of his clothes, and every time the oar crossed the water, there were waves of deep black ripples.

Wearing a long robe and a bamboo hat, he drove towards the mouth of the Nine Netherworld, which was bright red like lava. The only sound around him was the sound of swaying flowers and leaves.

"...He is in Jiuyou?" the young man suddenly said, with a pair of golden eyes under the bamboo hat.

 “Meow. (Yes).” The white cat was lying on the stern of the boat.

“There has been no sound, and now it suddenly ran into Jiuyou.” Su Lin said, “I know, I’ll go in and have a look...it’s a place on the journey.”

 “Meow. (Thank you).” The white cat meowed.

One person and one boat, drifting into the secluded world.

　　A lone boat crossing the water, with dim figures.

 …

When Su Mingan woke up again, the sky was already turning towards afternoon.

 He slept for more than eight hours, and there was a smell of waffles in the air.
