First Player

Chapter 3 · “I don’t believe in the ending.”

"Shao Qing, you must have guessed what an immortal is and what a fairy is, right?" Xiao Jingsan spread his hands. He was wearing a robe that looked like mist, like the wind blowing on the jade tree and the snow wrapping the buds. He was really a bit of an immortal. temperament.

Su Ming'an looked at the fairies around him, and he suddenly realized that in fact, the fairy aura in these fairies was not that awe-inspiring, but just the temperament of ordinary people. It was Su Ming'an and others' admiration for Penglai Fairy Island that made them feel like they had faith in these fairies.

In other words, Xiao Jingsan is doing the same thing as the gods in this world - making people spontaneously develop belief in immortals.

There are no immortals in this world. Only when more people believed in Him did He become a true immortal.

God is the product of human beliefs and expectations.

Once Su Ming'an discovered that there was nothing worthy of awe in this immortal, the halo around them would naturally disappear, and they would no longer be able to arouse the feeling of worship in his heart.

"Xiao Jingsan, I really understand." Su Mingan said: "I felt strange at the beginning. Obviously "Lou Yue Kingdom" is just an ancient game, and even my fifth-level strength can beat all the invincible players in the world. Why is there a The setting of the super-standard 'Penglai Immortal Island'? Now I realize that this is your 'god-making plan'."

"You made up the legend of Penglai Fairy Island and built an ordinary island to look like a fairy island. You put on clothes that looked like immortals. You plated yourself with a layer of gold and put it on yourself. He got the name of 'Immortal'."

"You colluded with the Louyue royal family, causing them to continue to release fictional stories about immortals, so that the people's hearts arose in the hearts of the people to seek immortality. You used seductive words such as longevity and power as bait, spreading them among the people. Rumors make people fear immortals. Even if they have never actually seen an immortal."

"Once everyone truly believes that you are an immortal, you will truly become the 'immortal' you made up."

"——In the world's rumors and yearnings, you gradually changed from an 'apple' to a 'pear'."

Mo Yan was shocked: "Brother is so smart! He can think of all this!"

The corner of Su Mingan's mouth twitched. Isn't this kind of reasoning normal?

Seeing the sparkling emotion in Mo Yan's eyes, Su Mingan nodded and said "Yeah".

After hearing this, Xiao Jingsan sighed: "Wonderful. You have deduced almost all my actions. Shao Qing, people in the world are so stupid - any thing, no matter how outrageous or ridiculous, can only be praised if it is praised If there are enough people, as long as enough people believe it, it will become the unshakable 'truth' in the eyes of the world."

Su Mingan said lightly: "There is no god in this world. It is people's sight that makes a person become a 'god' in the end."

When Xiao Jingsan heard this, he put his hands on his hands and laughed: "That's right. Just like the first player?"

He clapped his hands, and the surrounding fairies gradually gathered around, blocking the path of Su Ming'an and others.

Now, Su Ming'an and others have finally seen the true nature of these fairies - they are not fairy-like fairies, they are just ordinary human beings. They put on white clothes and skirts, and put on some cool makeup like fairies, obviously It's just cosplay, but under the influence of the "collective unconscious" and the spirit of awe of immortals, people will subconsciously recognize that these people are real fairies.

Mo Yan glanced at the fairy who led them before, and he was shocked - this fairy had many wrinkles and acne on her face. Obviously when he looked at it before, the fairy's face was still as smooth as jade.

"We were... affected by the collective unconscious just now." Mo Yan murmured.

He finally realized the horror of the word "approval". In this world, as long as you acknowledge it, you will be confused and you can only see what you want to see.

Fairies don't actually stay young forever, but Mo Yan thought she was a fairy from Penglai Fairy Island from the beginning, so he could only see her perfect face. Now that Mo Yan realizes that she is not a fairy, he can see her true appearance full of acne.

...It turned out to be like this.

The feeling of being exposed made Mo Yan break out in cold sweat and tremble all over. A feeling of fear shot up from his spine and filled his brain.

What the eyes see is not what it is, and what the ears hear is not what it is.

Once you are deceived, you will know nothing about your stupidity until the truth is revealed. "Recognition" and "belief" are like two big mountains, changing your perception unscrupulously and forcing you to continuously deepen ideas that are far from the truth.

——When an apple looks like a pear and society recognizes it as a pear, and most people will say it is a pear when they see it, then it will really become a pear.

The change is real.

Su Mingan finally realized the difficulty of this copy. What you see may not be real, and what you hear may not be real - only your own firm cognition is the only yardstick and anchor for your five senses.

"But you only guessed half of it right." Jamel Xiao said with a smile.

"Half?" Su Ming'an felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He felt that Xiao Jingsan might be about to take action: "Xiao Jingsan, you must pay attention to the current situation."

What Su Mingan said was a hint - Xiao Jingsan, I am a member of the old Holy See, and you want to attack me in the game now?

However, Xiao Jingsan just shook his head: "You may have misunderstood, I am not the Xiao Jingsan in this world."

……Um?

Su Mingan understood clearly - what Xiao Jingsan meant was that he was now the NPC in "Louyue Kingdom", not the dream patrolman Xiao Jingsan in the real world.

This is the NPC in the game acting on his own, not Xiao Jingsan in this world possessing him!

"Let's go!" Su Mingan summoned the mechanical roulette wheel and jumped on it with Mo Yan. The sense of crisis in his heart was already very serious, and he did not want to continue arguing with Xiao Jamsan.

The mechanical wheel is modified from Theredia's mechanical wheelchair. In theory, it can only carry one person, but it can fly with one more person.

"First Meng Xunjia..." Yi Zhongyu called softly.

After Su Mingan jumped on the mechanical roulette wheel, he hesitated for a moment and extended his hand to Yi Zhongyu. With three people, it can barely fly even if it is overloaded.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. The three people moved very fast. In the blink of an eye, the mechanical roulette wheel was about to rise into the sky.

"Alas..." Xiao Jingsan sighed: "Why do you want to run away."

The next moment,

Su Mingan and others saw an extremely shocking scene——

One stick, two sticks, five sticks, ten sticks, fifty sticks...

Tentacles flying all over the sky.

Thin purple-black tentacles sprouted from the backs of the surrounding fairies at the same time, like sprouts breaking through the ground.

"They are all alien species..." Yi Zhongyu murmured.

These "fairies" on Penglai Immortal Island are all of different species.

According to the previous words of the guiding fairy: [It is the fairy who created us and asked us to serve him on the fairy island. 】

So, Xiao Jingsan, who created these alien species, is he——

Su Mingan's heart was beating wildly, and at this moment, he suddenly met Xiao Jingsan's eyes. The young man with black hair and black eyes was laughing, as frivolously as ever. It was like Su Ming'an's smile when she met his eyes when she opened her eyes for the first time.

The ends of his eyes were drooped, his long eyebrows were slightly raised, and the young man's playful pupils seemed to be saying - [Your Highness, do you understand now? 】

"You are the Alien King..." Su Mingan said.

In the present world, rumors spread that the alien king is about to be resurrected.

In "Girls' Dream Project", the main mission requirement is that the alien king is about to be resurrected, please destroy the alien king.

In "Lou Yue Kingdom", the alien king really appeared in front of Su Ming'an.

Although the Alien King still looks like a young man, maintaining an elegant and handsome human shape, he does not seem to be fully revived, nor does he have the powerful power of the Alien King. But this young man's arrogant behavior of deceiving the world and his bold and unrestrained temperament made Su Ming'an understand that this man had the character and ambition to match the alien king.

If this person really wakes up and becomes the king of alien species, he can summon all alien species. It was absolutely a horrific disaster.

"You're not the alien king yet, are you?" Su Ming'an said. No matter how you look at it, Jamel Xiao is still a human being now.

"Well, I'm not the alien king yet." Xiao Jingsan responded with a smile: "So, didn't I lure you here specially?"

Su Mingan understood Xiao Jamsan's true intention in an instant.

——It turns out that Su Mingan's existence can completely revive the alien king.

——No wonder Xiao Jingsan worked so hard to lure Su Mingan to the fairy island.

Although he didn't know the principle, Su Mingan absolutely couldn't let Xiao Jingsan succeed.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah -"

The purple-black tentacles pulled up the mechanical roulette wheel and dragged the mechanical roulette wheel downwards. Su Ming'an immediately turned on the [Jet Mode], and the white steam puffed downwards. The entire mechanical wheel exploded to its maximum horsepower and increased in height crazily.

"Brother, the sinking force is too strong!" Mo Yan cut off a few tentacles and found that the height of the mechanical wheel had not increased at all, and had been maintained at a height that was neither going up nor down.

Yi Zhongyu also kept using talismans to blow up these tentacles, but there were too many.

"Brother, push me down! This roulette wheel is overloaded. One less person can fly higher!" Mo Yan cut off one of the tentacles and shouted back.

He didn't take the initiative to jump down. He was worried that his elder brother would save him and waste time. He could only hope that his elder brother would push him down.

"..." Su Mingan held the sword of Arman, which was as sharp as clay, and kept cutting off the tentacles. He used a floating cannon to explode once, but there were too many tentacles, and one wave broke out after another. Several tentacles brushed against his arm, and blood flowed out.

"Brother!" Mo Yan shouted again, seeming to urge Su Ming'an to make a decision.

Su Mingan was silent, his eyes jumped over the tentacles and looked at Xiao Jingsan.

"Look, what Li Mingyue said back then was right."

Xiao Jingsan's eyebrows were slightly lowered, and the blood-stained Su Ming'an was reflected in the dark pupils. His expression was a bit sad: "Shao Qing. Being locked up in a high tower and bleeding - is this the luckiest ending for you?"

Su Ming'an was speechless. He stretched out his hand to grab Mo Yan who was about to fall, and said calmly: "I don't believe in the ending, nor do I believe in the 'luckiest' thing."

Xiao Jingsan looked at Su Ming'an and suddenly thought of the former eldest prince Su Shaoqing.

...These two people are so similar.

Proud, burning, solemn, devoted to the people, and full of feelings of helping the world.

Holding the hand of the palace maid, reading a book under the vermilion palace wall, with a child-like yearning, one thought is like a day.

Holding the white fox in my arms, I wrote policies for the country and the people in front of the wax lamp. With the most sincere ideals, I wrote all night long.

But the eldest prince didn't know that there were not only great men and ordinary people in this world. Some ideals cannot be achieved by working hard all the time. All the things he expected and wrote with his own hands turned into ashes in the corner of the palace wall, and he became a pile of burned-out wax torches between the bronze stands.

Before the tears dry, the person has passed away.

He seemed to see the eldest prince again, a more idealistic eldest prince.

A hopeless idealist.
