Chapter 73: seventy two

   Chapter 73 Chapter 72 · "The One Who Pays for Everyone"

  【The game establishes a destiny for people, and no one has the ability to destroy it. 】

  【They hate this rule and are eager to benefit from it. 】

  【When a group is working hard in one direction. 】

  【Those who turn around or turn around and leave will become aliens. 】

  【He was a martyr, just too impulsive. 】

  【The first player shouldn’t die here, he still has room to grow. 】

  【He will become more mature, more sensible, more…social. 】

  【—Excerpt from World Forum·“Why Are Martyrs Born?”】

  …

  Su Mingan woke up on the soft bed.

There was a fragrance of roses in the air, and the ceiling was pink. When he sat up, he noticed the delicate bedside table and the bright red roses on it. Not clear.

  …whose room is this? Yu Ruohe?

   He lifted the quilt, but heard a crisp sound. He looked down and found that his right hand was tied to the bedside by a pair of handcuffs.

  …what is this operation?

   His fingertips disappeared for a flash, melted it, and walked to the door to open it, only to find that the door was locked.

   He walked to the window, opened the curtain, and saw a woman in a black dress watering the flowers and plants with a water bottle.

   "Dong dong dong." He found that the window was also locked, and tapped the glass with his fingers.

   Yu Ruohe looked over.

"Su Ming'an... I know what you want to ask. This is my house. The house I bought in the main **** space. Only I know about you here." Yu Ruohe walked to the window and said to him through the window. :

   "Before the start of the third world, you don't want to walk around, I hope... you will stay with me for the time being."

   "It turned out to be the house you bought." Su Ming'an did find that this place is much better than his own personal space environment: "Although I am very grateful for you to keep me here, you probably won't be able to stop me if I want to leave..."

   Yu Ruohe stared at him.

   There was something unfamiliar in her eyes.

   "Your clone is dead, so it shouldn't be resurrected for the time being." Yu Ruohe said, "This is the main **** space. You told me that if you die, you are really dead."

"Yep?"

Her voice paused: "After you passed out, people quickly did a series of experiments. We found that after this update, as long as you don't attack directly, you can use various indirect methods such as trapping, Injuring people in the main **** space."

"so?"

   "I own the mechanical explosives I got in the second instance, but I don't want to hurt you. I just want you... stay with me for a while, and tell me what you think, okay?"

  Su Mingan stared at her for a while.

   He looked very carefully, his eyes were very complicated, as if he was tracing and measuring the growth and changes of a "person".

   "Change" in such a world.

   "You want to put me under house arrest?" he asked.

"It's just that you haven't received the correct education before, and you haven't been in contact with better people. You stay here and I will be your friend." Yu Ruohe begged him softly. He gave a warm smile, but the forced arc was so obvious: "...Trust me, I'll let you understand."

   "You used to be a psychiatrist?" He said, looking at Yu Ruohe's reaction: "...So that's it, I understand."

   She regarded him as a patient who needed psychological counseling.

   She thought that by trapping herself here and talking to him every day, she could appease him and guide him back to the right path she thought...

   He looked at the time displayed on the system panel. There were still about two days before the start of the third world.

   Anyway, he has a space to move, and he can go whenever he wants. Here is just a look at the response of the World Forum.

   "We'll talk later, I'll look at the forum." Su Mingan waved at her.

   "...Don't look." Yu Ruohe tapped the glass with his hand: "I beg you...don't look."

  Su Ming'an pulled the curtain "swoosh".

   He sat on the bed and opened the World Forum.

  【Dear player (Su Mingan), welcome to the World Forum】

  [Following: 0, Followers: 870,630,569, Posting volume: 0]

  …The number of fans has increased, which is unexpected.

  Su Mingan opened the homepage and saw a whole page of posts about him.

  【Genius or lunatic? Sanity or Madness? 】

  【On the meaning and thinking of the first player's behavior】

  【The main **** space may become the most dangerous place! 】

  【Thinking about Su Mingan's Theory Contradictions and Suicidal Behavior】

  【The lighthouse system lives on—but will he come back? 】

  【Lu Shu/Aini/Noel/Adolph... The former players collectively signed a collective name, calling for making the main **** space a place where there must be no fighting, and maintaining the tranquility and peace of the human habitat]

  【The most zealous martyr, the glorious future he has opened up with his life, Mizushima Kawakura will inevitably be pushed to the throne】

  [Track the whole process of Su Mingan's behavior before and after, and analyze the psychological and ideological changes of the first player]

  【He is synonymous with the future, everyone should be saved】

  【Confessions of an audience who is greedy for life and fear of death: I was shocked by his behavior, I decided to end the game and participate in the game, I will become the eternal supporter of the lighthouse system]

  【…】

  The posts in front of the World Forum are all more rational thinking posts, and the latter ones cannot be generalized.

  Some people think his actions will be deified, others think it's not worth it, and they swept the whole forum with all kinds of emotions.

   At the same time, Su Mingan also noticed that his private message column was beating wildly. As soon as I opened it, it was a private message from Lu Shu 99+ - after all, I only added him and Yu Ruohe as friends.

   Just when he wanted to see what this guy said, he heard a constant "banging" from the window in front of him.

   "..." Su Mingan opened the curtains again, and saw Yu Ruohe who had almost his face up.

   Her almond eyes were full of concentration, as if she wanted to "pull him back to the right path":

   "...don't do this kind of thing again."

   "What kind of thing?"

"...Do you really understand or pretend you don't understand?" Yu Ruohe's eyes were fixed on him: "In front of everyone, commit suicide... Do you know how much shock this will cause? Do you know how many people there are? Are you watching your every move?"

   "I know, that's why I did it." Su Mingan said, "So, what does this have to do with you locking me up?"

   Yu Ruohe tilted his head slightly.

   She said somewhat unnaturally: "As the number one player, what you should do is to defeat Mizushimagawa in the ring... instead of doing this kind of thing... In short, in short..."

   She took a deep breath, as if she had a lot of courage. When she turned her head to look at Su Mingan again, her eyes that were separated by a layer of glass were full of determination:

   "...promise me to be a qualified lead player, okay?"

"Do you mean?"

   "Like your doppelganger..." Yu Ruohe put his hand on the glass and gradually curled up his fingers:

"...Doppelganger is also a possibility of your personality, which means that you can become that way, right?" She forced a smile and said, "In private, you can be you. But in everyone in the world In front of you, solemn, gentle, kind, okay?"

  Yu Ruohe has followed the World Forum.

   She found that the audience generally accepted the avatars that suddenly appeared, and said that watching the live broadcast from the perspective of the avatars in the second world is much better than the previous experience. No matter the attitude or the friendly communication with the audience, the avatar seems to be more suitable to be a "first player" than Su Mingan himself.

   They even regretted that it was just a avatar, and some people even suggested that if the two were exchanged, the main body would become a avatar, or the live broadcast would simply be fixed in the perspective of the avatar in the future.

   She did not agree with their proposal, but undeniably, she was a little shaken.

   She, who was finally able to get in touch with him rarely, and even dared to bring him home, thought with some hope.

  …I can play a role in myself, so that…help him become the kind of person everyone likes to support?

  Su Mingan looked at her.

   His gaze changed slightly.

"I remember, at the end of the first world," he said slowly: "You used to tell me that you thought I was just a better student, but now you tell me a very different answer than before, you Persuading me - you want me to be..."

   He did not go on.

  …

  【“—Su Mingan? Why are you here? The one on stage, is your clone?”]

  【“—Yeah, it is said that avatar is also a possibility of my personality. But if you want me to become like that, it is better to kill me directly... Forget it, it is useless to kill me.”]

  …

  【“—but you can become like that, right?”】

  …

   Yu Ruohe's eyes were a little stagnant.

   At this moment, she saw his gaze.

  Across a thin layer of glass, even at such a close distance, she gradually couldn't see everything in his eyes.

   "...I try my best." Su Mingan said.

   She felt a sense of relief for a moment, and when the corners of her lips curled into a smile, what she thought was... how wonderful.

   "Well, then you have to remember - calm down... okay?" she said.

  Su Ming'an's hand closed the curtain.

   "Wait, wait..." Yu Ruohe still wants to talk to him, she still has a lot of things she doesn't understand and wants to communicate with him...

   But at this moment, at the moment when the curtain was about to be drawn, she met each other's eyes.

   There was deep exhaustion in his eyes, and the bloodshot shattered like a glazed ice pattern.

   "Yu Ruohe." He said, "The rules of the main **** space have changed."

   "So, so...?" Yu Ruohe still didn't understand what he meant.

   "..." Su Ming settled down: "...Nothing."

With a    "swoosh", the curtain was drawn in front of her.

   She touched her cheek, and there was a knife-like pain on her face—it was the phantom pain that instantly condensed when the other party's gaze swept over her.

   Although what she said seemed like a moral kidnapping, she really didn't want to see him look like an enemy all over the world.

   She is an adult, several years older than him, and they have different perspectives when looking at this kind of thing, and she hopes that he can reduce the edges and corners a little.

   She hopes that he...will become more and more popular in the future.

  …

  Su Mingan sat on the bed and continued to open the private message box to read the 99+ message sent by Lu Shu.

   He knew that his behavior was a bit extreme in the eyes of outsiders like Yu Ruohe, but this behavior also had his own thinking.

   In previous games, he had discovered that the organizer had doubts about him again. The image he created earlier has become incomplete.

   At present, he still does not know whether the organizer can stumble inside the game copy.

   On the one hand, he needs to make the image of this "first player" less perfect in the eyes of the organizer, and in some cases even take extreme actions to "revenge" others.

   On the one hand, he is also doing an experiment on rules.

  From the current point of view, all feedback is good.

   He looked at the private letter sent by Lu Shu.

   The first one was that when the clone had just committed suicide yesterday, Su Mingan never replied. But over time, the man continued to speak as if to himself.

  【Lu Shu: Su Mingan, I don’t believe you are dead. 】

  【Lu Shu: Your actions seem great, but they are meaningless. You are more suitable for continuing to walk than Mizushimagawa】

  【Lu Shu: They kept your body in the first guild quarters, but I don’t think it was you—it was your clone, right? You have always regarded cost performance very seriously, and you will not do this kind of sacrifice for others]

  【Lu Shu: Humans still need you, the world still needs you, you are the spiritual leader, and you will live forever. 】

  【Lu Shu: Su Mingan, believe in yourself, you are the only beacon】

  […] (99+ private messages omitted)

There was a period of time between   , but the private messages were still one after another.

  [Lu Shu: They called for making the main **** space the safest place, forming a law enforcement team and a joint team, and sanctions will be imposed in the event of a private fight to maintain the tranquility of the habitat]

  【Lu Shu: But I think it’s stupid. This kind of behavior won’t last long. As players grow stronger and stronger, there will always be uncontrollable things]

   [Lu Shu: Mizushima Chuankong withdrew the post that condemned you. She seems to be doing penance. I have to say that you have created a terrible player, maybe your actions are meaningful]

  【Lu Shu: The World Forum almost praised you as a god, did you notice it? Sure enough, people believe that death is the greatest, because in the eyes of all people you are already dead, so everything you did during your life will be deified]

  【Lu Shu: I admit that this behavior is very meaningful. You brought together those who would only condemn and complain, and the players have changed because of this scene. They're always good at putting things on the bright side before you speak up. 】

  【Lu Shu:…】

  【Lu Shu: …but why haven’t you shown up yet? 】

  【Lu Shu: ...but why didn't you reply to me? 】

  【Lu Shu: I’ve been waiting for your reply, maybe you don’t want to pay attention to me, because I have misunderstood you, sorry, but you are a good person, Su Ming’an, I have always read it right, I hope you can live to watch everything】

  …

  【Lu Shu: Those who support everyone should not freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who open the way for freedom should not be trapped in thorns. 】

  …

  【Lu Shu: Please don’t make me wait too long. 】

  This is the end of the private message, the last one is half an hour ago.

   "It seems to be a success?" Su Mingan thought and lay back on the bed.

   He heard a prompt from the system:

  【The honor points have been calculated! 】

  【Get Honor (Deification): Players see you as a martyr and deify everything you do - but are you really worth it? 】

  【Get 40 honor points. 】

  [Achievement (Game World): Although there are doubts about whether it is a clone, players are willing to believe in your drama and plan to organize a funeral for you]

  【Get 40 achievement points】

The arrival of    points was within Su Ming'an's expectations, or this was his main purpose.

  The experiment was successful.

…and many more.

  Su Mingan saw a line of words on the system interface.

   "Funeral??"

   He immediately got up from the bed.
