First Player

 Chapter 1067 Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Five · “Map, reflect, gaze, intersect.”

 "Su Lin" protected Su Ming'an, and the fire was flowing.

"Since you already know that you are a butterfly, don't think about disobeying the person who raises the butterfly. Su Lin-2918, your life or death does not depend on you." Su Wensheng said.

Su Mingan looked at Su Lin. His back was still straight, and golden-red fire was surrounding him. But even if this Su Lin tried his best, he would still be far inferior to the real Su Lin. The imitations couldn't compare to the gods.

 “Then let’s try it.” Su Lin’s expression remained unchanged and the tip of the sword pointed forward.

The firelight traced his profile, and his eyes were filled with deep gold. When he stared ahead, the light in his eyes seemed to burn away all obstacles.

Su Mingan saw a brief confusion in his eyes, but the confusion quickly subsided. Whether it is an implanted "personality" or a fake "life", "Su Lin" has always been firm. Perhaps in his heart, he just regarded himself as a "replaceable soul" again, just like the mentality of the gods in Yunshang City back then. It's just another step back from being a human being to being a god.

Su Mingan stared at the two confronting each other, sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

 The Tenth World has been replicated into 42,293 copies, with 10,000 players in each copy. Among the 1 in 42,293 copies that Su Mingan is in, it has been "disassembled" into 10,000 copies. There is only one real player in each copy. The other 9,999 players seen by this real player are all fake.

 "Dismantling" means real dismantling. It cannot be described in simple words. It is not cutting pudding. For example, a complete cell is divided into 10,000 parts, and each part will have a nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm.

 10,000 players are divided into 10,000 eras, and they become the "protagonists" of their respective eras. The behavior of the "protagonists" can be "mapped" to other eras. As for people other than the [Protagonist], their behaviors are derived from historical relics or the reflection of the [Protagonist] from other 9999 eras.

Just like Noel, he was first born in the Witch Era, and he is the [protagonist] of the Witch Era. His behavior in the witch era will be "mirrored" to other eras: for example, Noel once met the fake Su Ming'an at the seaside in the witch era. At the same time, Su Ming'an in the modern era will also meet the fake Noel at the seaside - just like a kind of [Mirrors of each other].

 —The "him" you see is fake and a "reflection" of his times.

　　—The "伱" he saw was also false, and it was also a "reflection" of your era.

 However, if you break this mirror, you have actually met.

 Map each other, reflect each other, watch each other, and intersect with each other.

 …

 Su Mingan felt as if the dimensional wall had been broken. Speaking of which, he has encountered scenes similar to those in the game several times. 】

　　【In the present world, a young man named "Black Magpie" established the Huomuli'er Kingdom. At the same time, "Girls' Dream Project" also has a country of Huo Mulier. 】

　　【News that "the alien king is about to resurrect" appears in this world. At the same time, the main mission of "Kill the Alien King" of "Girls' Dream Project" appeared. 】

　　【In the modern world, due to the dual identity of the shadow as a qualified person and a foreign species, people surrounded and suppressed the shadow on the execution platform. This situation and scene are almost the same as when people surrounded and suppressed the eldest prince in "Louyue Kingdom". 】

 …

“But not every move will be reflected in other eras.” Su Mingan thought.

 As the degree of integration becomes higher and higher, the mapping will become more and more real - when he hears the shouts of teammates from all eras. The degree of integration at this time is already very high.

Mizushima Kawa Sora thought she was killing the fake Yamada Machichi, but she did not expect that her action of "killing Yamada Machichi" would be reflected in other eras, and the fake Mizushima Kawa Sora in the other 9999 eras would also try to kill them. As a result, the real Yamada Machichi will be harmed by the fake Mizushima Kawakora.

This kind of "mapping" will be fine-tuned according to the degree of integration, the plot of the era, and the character of the protagonist. If it is the fake Mizushima Kawakawa in the steam era, she will try to kill Yamada Machichi through church burning. If it is Lou In the fake Mizushima Kawakawa of the Moon era, she would try to kill Yamada Machichi by cooperating with powerful warriors. If it were the fake Mizushima Kawakora in the real world, she would pass the coalition government's demon hunting order and try to kill Yamada Machichi. The processes may be different, but the actors are the same.

 Final point: The length of history in which the Old World was divided was only 1,000 years. But the 1,000 years have been divided into 10,000 eras, so there will definitely be "overlapping eras".

The gods threw Noel into the distant era of witches, but threw Mo Yan, Yamada Machichi, Lu, Burris, and Isabella, all the players who were familiar with Su Mingan, into a "world-like" era. They all experienced similar real-life plots, but there was a slight deviation - in Mo Yan's world line, Su Mingan was brainwashed by the gods and became an archangel. In Isabella's world line, Yamada Machichi stayed behind in Ina Castle. Aside from these minor differences, the teammates encountered similar situations.

When Su Mingan decides to go to Jiuyou, it will have the most profound and similar reflection on these "world-like" eras - all teammates will know that Su Mingan went to Jiuyou at this point in time, and they will take the initiative to go to Jiuyou , until everyone gathered in Jiuyou on different world lines at this moment.

—And whose territory is Jiuyou?

 —Su Wensheng.

When all Su Ming'an's teammates are gathered in Jiuyou at this moment - who can leave Jiuyou, cross the edge of the world, and help the real Su Ming'an on another world line?

 They are all trapped here.

 Isolated and helpless, unable to gather on the same world line.

 This is the guidance of "destiny" - the reflection from the other 9999 eras, which is the subtle [destiny]. When all the teammates rushed to Jiuyou to help Su Ming'an, they were no longer able to help him.

Because the correct way to rescue Su Ming'an is not to go to Jiuyou on your own world line, but to decisively cross the edge of the world and go to the world line where the real Su Ming'an is...

 …

   【A.】

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Machiichi Yamada was sitting in a pool of blood, holding a blood-stained machete in his hand. A head with loose blue hair was tilted beside him, and the neck bones were chopped into pieces.

 Yamada Machichi’s eyes were bloodshot, as if shouting could only relieve the depression and pain in his heart. The sanity value in the upper left corner had dropped to the bottom line.

…why why.

Just now, Lu walked behind him and dropped his sword on him. If he hadn't seen the sword light through the reflection of the surveillance screen, he would have died. He never imagined that the road accompanying him these days would be fake.

"Fake, all fake..." Yamada Machichi held his blood-stained head, his vision completely distorted. Who else could he believe? He has suffered too many assassinations in the past few days, but he has never suspected Lu...

 Is he still awake? Still in a dream?

 Is what he killed a fake? Or did he miss the real path? How does he identify the people around him?

Yamada Machichi almost collapsed.

 Believe in one person and get stabbed in the back. Trust the next person and get stabbed in the back. And so on.

 He stood up holding on to the wall, his body covered in blood. Lu's sword almost cut off his neck. There was a **** piece of skin hanging on his neck, hanging on his chin, and he felt severe pain even when he made a sound.

He held the head of the road and walked out step by step... He didn't know where he was going. He has fallen deeply into the trap of fate and walked to the most dangerous place alone.

　　When he walked to the door of the central control room, his robe was already soaked in blood, and his arms were deep vermilion. He stumbled forward, leaving **** footprints every step of the way.

 A figure stood in the corridor, like a touch of pure white, unsullied, never-melting snow.

“Yamada Machichi.” The spirit said, “I caught you.”

 …

　　【E.】

Su Mingan is still thinking. Therefore, crossing the edge of the world is not only crossing the era, but also equivalent to crossing the world line, and at the same time superimposing the concepts of [time] and [space]. When Noel came to the present world from the age of witches, it was not only equivalent to him coming from 328 to 830, but also equivalent to him going from "a world line where Noel is the protagonist" to "a world line where Su Ming'an is the protagonist."

There is another point, which is just Su Mingan’s guess.

 The cause can lead to the effect, and the effect can also turn into the cause. There is no obvious order of cause and effect because time is flat.

  —Then there will be a situation where cause and effect are inverted. Suppose that if you fiddle with the causal line at end A, end B will tremble accordingly. Then when B on the other world line trembles through mapping, A will become the object of the tremor.

For example, if A kills B, there is a small probability that B will kill A on another world line. If you kill others, you may also be the one being massacred.

 You are the executioner.

 In another world, you were among the 9,999 people he killed.

 You are a priest.

 On the other world line, you are also the 9,999 people he saved.

 Everyone is you.

 You are also becoming everyone.

 …

　　【B.】

"Lu... you believe me, I am Zhen Yamada. I didn't want to raise a knife to you just now..." Yamada Machichi begged for mercy.

Lu's expression was struggling fiercely. He stared at Yamada Machichi who was dying under his sword, gritted his teeth, and cut him off with one sword.

The boy's head fell into a pool of blood. Lu picked up Yamada Machichi's head and stared closely at Yamada Machichi's last bloodshot eyes, unaware that two lines of tears fell from his cheeks.

He once discussed with Yamada Machichi how to rush to the rescue of Ina City, how to implement tactics, and even imagined where to go to relax after the end of the tenth world.

 But how did he think... Yamada was fake.

Standing quietly for a moment, Lu held Yamada Machichi's head and walked out step by step, leaving **** footprints.

 The gods are also blocking the corridor.

 …

　　【F.】

 Burning fires, broken bodies, flying mechanical balls, and broken bones.

Isabella dismantled the fake Su Mingan's body, skin, bones, blood vessels... She was sitting in a pool of blood, with a long sword wound on the right side of her abdomen. But she seemed to feel no pain, and her expression was almost intoxicated.

She glanced at the extremely low sanity value, then slowly sank her head into a pool of blood. Her expression was no longer that of a normal person, and her skin was filled with an alienated light.

"…am I crazy."

"I don't."

 …

　　【G.】

Buris stood with his head bowed.

 He kissed a broken hand: a short piece of skin and fine bones, and a blood-stained mechanical ring on the finger.

 The situation on the ground was even more tragic. The skin and flesh were all messy, as if they had been run over by a large crusher.

Buris did not expect that God the Father would suddenly take action against him. As a magician, he has hypnotized himself in advance. During the dungeon, he will regard Su Ming'an as his **** wholeheartedly. Only by deceiving yourself can you influence others. So when he saw the fake Su Ming'an drawing a sword towards him, he almost felt like the sky was falling.

 But soon, he realized that he had never disobeyed God the Father, and God the Father would not disdain him.

Hypnosis makes him paranoid and morbid. He will always side with Su Ming'an, but when Su Ming'an does not conform to the **** in Burris' heart, he will instantly rebel.

He tried his best to kill the fake Su Ming'an, and then crushed the fake Su Ming'an to the ground like crazy, leaving only a complete palm.

Rolling up his blood-stained blond hair, Burris raised his head and looked at the door of the central control room.

 The spirits appeared there and seemed to be counting.

"…Four."

 The fourth person trapped by the gods.

 …

　　【E.】

When Su Lin and Su Wensheng were confronting each other, Su Mingan let go of the puppet thread. Black Magpie is no longer an enemy, and there is no point in trapping him.

Black Magpie stood up with a sad smile:

“I said it from the beginning, Su Mingan, you are the [protagonist].”

"But in the old world, you are finally no longer the only [protagonist]. There are ten thousand players, and each player has become his own [protagonist]. You can't save them, and they can't save you. Do you think Are you still Asa Akto? Do you think you can still save the whole city with one person - no more, you are not on the same world line at all, and your personal heroism has expired."

"What are you going to do now? You are trapped in Jiuyou. Who can save you? Who can you save?"

Su Mingan did not answer.

Black Magpie also knew the truth for the first time. Before, he only knew that he was Jiuyou's security guard. But he suddenly realized...he was not even a security guard. So who is he?

His life has always been like this, with no miracles like the protagonist's, nor the beauty of surviving a desperate situation. Now Su Ming'an seems to be in dire straits, but Black Magpie knows that Su Ming'an will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties in the end, because Su Ming'an has always been like this.

 But he is different. What will be his end?

Erased by Su Wensheng?

Or will his memory be purged and he will remain in the Nine Netherworld as a brain in a vat again?

Su Mingan suddenly remembered that Black Magpie once lost his memory and walked out of the black mist, carrying the Sword of Destiny, and established the Huomulier Kingdom...

"That's the only exception." Su Wensheng guessed what he was thinking and said frankly: "I didn't expect that after Black Magpie had his memory cleaned once, he actually escaped from Jiuyou with the Sword of Destiny. Fortunately, he came back. "
