First Player

Chapter 1078 Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Six · "If you are on a distant seashore."

 In the middle of the night, snow fell from the sky.

 The overlapping shadow stands in the sky, with hair floating in the sea of ​​stars, as if looking at the stars.

Su Mingan opened his eyes and lowered his head. There was nothing in his arms.

 It’s a pity that we have reached this point in time. Alice has integrated into him, he will still become a god, and the bright red python will take away his consciousness.

 The time when it got stuck.

 He could no longer retreat.

 …

Su Mingan suddenly said to himself: "The **** is pretending to be the red-robed boy in "Destiny Simulator"."

 This is the answer he had in mind. If the **** wants him to guess wrong, he will definitely choose an answer that is very critical but appears so rarely that it is almost impossible to guess.

The next moment, the task column [Indicate the key figures played by the gods within ten days] was completed. Before day and night turned, he ended the bet and took the initiative to take off his protective armor.

 Three seconds later, the spirit appeared beside him. The gods sensed that the bet was over and came immediately.

 In the silent falling snow, the overlapping shadows, the gods, and him form a triangle, standing silently with each other, but also seeming to be in confrontation.

Hung high in the starry sky, scenes of the world are reflected. Fighting on the battlefield, refugees wandering in the wilderness, believers praying in the camp, dream patrolmen who have fought in various eras, the anchor girl crying in pain, the old man laying flowers in front of the tomb...three "gods" stand here - the old world a thousand years ago. Gods, usurping gods, high-dimensional beings above the stars. Together they overlook everything in civilization.

Responsibility, destiny, and civilization are things that are extremely far away from the nineteen-year-old young man. But at this moment, with frost and snow tightly covering his eyebrows, he suddenly understood that there are some things that cannot be escaped at all, and the critical time point is fixed here. moment.

 The two "gods" looked at Su Mingan at the same time.

Duoying smiled and said: "Su Mingan. You completed the bet at this moment and gave up the protection of the bet. Is it because you have already gone back once on the other side of the long river of time?"

Su Mingan felt the crisis. He could even smell the smell of burning paper money.

 —If he triggered the Xiaosu retracement, then he should answer "yes", otherwise he would be admitting that he had a death retracement.

—If he triggers his own death retracement, then he should answer "no", otherwise it will be exposed that he cannot distinguish between the two retracements, and he is still admitting that he has a death retracement.

 Once he answers wrongly, the consequences will be disastrous. The organizers will probably take him away for investigation just like they did with Noel.

So he raised his lips and smiled, as if he was joking:

“…You are telling me this now, are you worried that the gods will take me away?”

 It is hard to tell whether he has turned back once or not.

White snow fell between his brows, and he could faintly see a shadow of a rabbit in the shadow of the distant sky. The smell of burnt paper money and plant ash lingered on the tip of my nose, and the smell was shuddering.

 Duoying smiled:

 “Okay, smart answer. Let’s not talk about it then.”

“Do you want to know what bet the gods made with the organizer? Long before you came to the old world, the gods made a bet with the organizer. I can tell you.”

The god's gaze moved to Duiying, his gaze revealing a bit of threat, like a warning.

Su Mingan looked at the overlapping shadow calmly.

His fingers trembled unconsciously for a while due to the pain of contamination, and the warmth faded away little by little.

“...Do you want to know?” The shadow came closer, and the starlight shrouded Su Mingan’s eyebrows.

Su Mingan moved her lips slightly: "You can say it."

　　Although these two "gods" have a very high level of life, one is trapped in the starry sky, and the other can only use words to induce others. None of them could harm him directly. What brought him to this point was not their powerful power and crushing violence, but their induction of human beings, words, and wisdom.

 They never killed him personally, they only used side methods.

Duoying leaned over and whispered in his ear: "The bet between the gods and the organizer is - [Whether someone can reach the highest status within twenty days]. There are two ways to reach the highest status: one is to get through the six There is a Dream Patrol game, one is to clear three towers. The principle is just like after you clear all the dungeons, those who complete the level perfectly can make a wish."

 …It turned out that there were three towers in total.

Su Mingan remembered that the condition for clearing the second tower was to seal the Alien King. If he had not tried to awaken the Alien King, the second tower would have been cleared. By completing the third tower, his status will be improved and he will be able to maintain his sanity when becoming a god.

“What’s the difference between these two methods?” Su Mingan said.

"In the words of you players - one is the 'spiritual line' and the other is the 'double shadow line'." Duoying curled his eyes: "The Dream Patrol game is the handwriting of the gods, and the tower is my handwriting. You Whichever one is completed first is equivalent to which party you are helping."

 …No wonder the gods have been preventing him from accessing the tower, but they have no objection to his access to the Dream Patrol game.

Su Mingan discovered very early on that the nature of the Dream Patrol game is very similar to that of Tower. One is a game played in the Dream Patrol helmet, and the other is a game played in reality. The techniques of gods and overlapping shadows should be similar, both of which deepen the integration between world lines. But their purposes should be diametrically opposed.

For Su Mingan’s world line, there are only six dream patrol games, namely the ancient era, the army era, the witch era, the steam era, the Louyue era, and the present world. But for players in other world lines, their Dream Patrol game will be six other eras, such as the primitive era, the martial arts era, the electrical era, etc., presenting a ring as a whole, and each era will eventually be covered.

 The form of Dream Patrol will also be slightly adjusted. For players who lived in ancient times, the technological Dream Patrol helmet may be adjusted to "be able to play ancient artifacts from all eras."

 “So?” Su Mingan said.

"The gods believe that [someone will reach the highest level], while the organizers believe that [no one will reach the highest level]. They are betting on the source of the world." Duiying said: "Did you know? At the age of twenty According to the player's panel, it is almost impossible to reach the highest rank within a day because the difficulty is too high."

Su Mingan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Under the overwhelming snow, the warmth on his skin faded little by little, and even the cold left him.

 “Unless, with special authority...”

 The words of the overlapping shadow stay here, as if they have a final note full of charm.

"ha."

Su Mingan exhaled white air, and his mouth began to lose temperature.

His soul seemed to have escaped from his body: "So the bet between the gods and the organizer is actually - [Whether Su Mingan has authority], right?"

 He tried his best to make his words smooth, like a joke after dinner. His usual tone made it sound like he found the possibility hilarious.

 …but how can it be funny.

 Obviously.

 The organizers had long suspected him, and Noel was only a short-lived blocker. The conclusion has basically been drawn, all that is lacking is evidence.

Either, let him admit with his own mouth that he has authority.

 Either, by creating an extreme dilemma that is “almost indestructible without authority”, he will inevitably reveal that he has. And Noel must be separated to prevent Noel from wearing his identity from happening again.

 So, the old world was simply the best environment.

—Ten thousand world lines separated him from his teammates, leaving him in a situation where no one could help him.

 —The extremely difficult Dream Patrol game and towers induce him to keep backtracking to pass levels. As long as he exposes even a little bit of his little tail, it's all over.

　　It has been recognized that the organizer cannot interfere with the game. Otherwise, as long as they put all the perfect passers in the same copy, they can kill the game directly.

 But what about induction? What if the person in the copy takes the initiative to make a request to the organizer?

 Eria, the Nine God of the Sky, became a pink fox and left the dungeon. What did she say? - "I made a deal with the organizer, and I was able to leave the dome and leave the power of reincarnation to Sissi." This proves that it is feasible for the leader of civilization to make deals with the organizer at the expense of civilization. But it is limited to transactions, and the organizer cannot intervene more.

 So, if the leader of the old world, the gods, made a deal with the organizer, it would be a bet...

"If the organizer wins, the source of the world in the old world will belong to the organizer. If the gods win, the gods will receive a source of the world given by the organizer, which will help the civilization of the old world continue to live for at least a thousand years. "Dieying smiled: "And even if the organizer loses, the organizer will still make a profit - because the organizer will know that you have authority. So, this is a win-win situation."

Su Mingan’s face was expressionless.

 Don’t the gods know what kind of situation he will be in? But He made the bet anyway.

 Calculation, coldness, exploitation...this is everything he encountered. But that's as it should be. Sacrificing him alone would benefit the entire civilization, and the gods made their choice.

 So the gods played a big game - civilization was on the verge of destruction. He deliberately used the source of the world to bet, attracting players in the world game to bet that Su Mingan's status could reach the highest level. When the players arrive, their dream patrols will help him consolidate 10,000 world lines, reduce resource consumption, and extend the precarious lifespan of civilization. Even if he loses the bet and loses the source of the world in his hands, civilization can still continue for hundreds of years, which is better than being destroyed immediately. If he wins the bet, it's a win-win situation. He can not only obtain the source of the new world, but the organizer can also find out Su Ming'an's authority.

　　　→The gods take the source of the world, and the organizer finds out the authority.

　　Losing→The gods successfully closed the world line, and the organizer got a source of the world.

 Whether you win or lose, neither party will lose. The **** has been invincible from the beginning - players help him to close the world line. The old world can still live. If they win and get the source of the world, the old world can live better. .

As long as the invasion of the overlapping shadows is firmly blocked, the gods cannot lose at all.

 …

[Su Wensheng laughed softly: "However, the only place where we may fail is - if Su Mingan has to go to Jiuyou one day. When the time comes, he must be stopped. Once the alien king wakes up, the double shadow can succeed, You lose."]

 …

 This is the only way to lose - Duplicate successfully invades. In addition, there are thousands of possibilities, and the gods cannot lose.

 …This is the calculation amount of "God".

 The civilization plan conceived by rulers spanning tens of thousands of eras.

—Why does God care about what happens to 9999 world lines? His vision is too vast, and he only cares about the concept of "civilization" itself. As long as integration can save resources, he will not care about the pain of human beings who are about to disappear. As long as it lasts for thousands of years, what will happen to the pain of just one generation? His vision and nature are simply not here.

 For God, this perspective is the correct one. From the perspective of future generations, He is the savior. But from the perspective of Su Ming'an and the audience, he is the great villain.

The soul hunter and the soul clan have fought for generations for false hatred. If they knew that all this was controlled by the gods of Yunshang City, it was to extend Praia's life and establish a storm barrier. Although they can accept it, how can they not suffer. Could this prove that the actions of the gods in Yunshang City were wrong?

 This is the vision of “God”. Once your eyes are fixed on civilization itself, nothing else matters. If they don't do it, there will be no chance of continuing civilization.

Su Mingan’s view of gods.

 …just as the Tawi gods of the ninth world view Aktor.

It's all for the sake of the continuation of civilization, and we will use every possible means to plot against each other. It's just that Akto sacrificed himself, and the gods sacrificed Su Ming'an.

 …

The Milky Way in the distance stretches across the sky like a ribbon, and the nebulae exude rainbow colors.

 The spirit stood quietly next to Su Mingan, with fine snow falling all over him.

His eyes are pale and cold, like endless snow.

 “Su Mingan.” The spirit said.

"I really like the story you once told me. After the destruction of civilization, the only remaining humans boarded an ark and sailed in the distant universe. They fell in love with each other in the dim cabin. For a moment, this story made me feel... A touch similar to tears.”

 “I don’t understand what this feels like.”

“But I like this story. Even if there are only a few people left, civilization still has a new life.”

 “It makes me feel hopeful.”

Su Mingan’s eyes froze.

Even if there are thousands of words, he can't say them out - how do you say seductive words to a **** who is like a civilized computer? How can you arouse the human morality and conscience that He does not have? How do you "defeat" an inorganic life?

 So the favorability of the gods never exists. In His essence there is nothing that belongs to humans. Su Wensheng's feeling is correct, even the gentleness of the gods is a product of imitation.

 The frost and snow that persist all year round will not turn into flowing water, and dead branches will not bloom.

But the **** has no explanation for his behavior. He can clearly use verbal skills to refute Duoying's words or beautify his actions, so that Su Ming'an will not be so disgusted with him.

 But He didn’t.

This adds something else to the frost and snow, but the snow is still snow.
