Chapter 406: Chapter [-] · "The Unseen World, The Unfinished Journey"

At night after the snow stopped, it was extremely cold beside the city wall.

People walked in the dark like waves, like boats bumping on the waves.

Su Mingan turned around and saw a black umbrella at the entrance of the alley.

The cold wind poured into the collar, and the necklace with the photo on his neck jingled.

Under the umbrella, the silent red-haired girl was holding the wood carving in her hand, watching him calmly.

"One of the knight's virtues is sacrifice." She said, "And after killing the devil, the hero cannot go back to hermitage safely."

She stared at him with unprecedented peace in her eyes.

"Everyone is mortal," she said. "Instead of rotting in the future, or walking on an endless road without end, it's better to stop here. At least...someone will remember."

"Turning other people's memory into your own tombstone is the most meaningless behavior." Su Mingan said.

He walked past her and heard her very quiet voice.

"Rin, the person who has walked through your life should not be your regret." Naraku said, "Remember her, remember her forever, and then continue walking."

"Who are you talking about?" Su Mingan was keenly aware of the deviation in her words.

But Naraku was like a still tombstone, not meeting his gaze.

"Sadness and regret for the person who passed away...don't need to accumulate in your chest. I don't want you to forget her completely, nor do I want you to endure the sadness." Naraku said: "She just... wants to go home."

"You didn't wake up?"

Su Mingan has already noticed that her state is not right.

The red-haired girl suddenly turned her head.

The thin moonlight after the snow sprinkled on her face, she stretched out her hand, holding a small wooden carving in her hand.

It was a wood carving in the shape of a young man. It could be seen that it had been carefully carved, and every corner was just right, comparable to a masterpiece.

She stared at him blankly, and suddenly showed a bright smile.

"Give you."

As if she had suddenly changed into a different person, a child-like joy danced in her eyes that were still indifferent and sad just now.

Like the sun suddenly falling into her eyes, dispelling the haze in it, she smiled purely, like a piece of white paper that has not been painted with color.

She raised her hands, like holding a child's favorite teddy bear, and presented the small wooden sculpture to his eyes.

"Here you are." She grinned widely.

Su Mingan was a little dazed, he didn't understand how Naraku became schizophrenic.

He was still saying some eulogy-like words in front of him, but suddenly a childish and silly smile appeared behind him.

He took the wood carving, and a system prompt popped out.

【You get props (Naraku's woodcarving)】

[(Naruo's wood carving): There are no props with any special added value. It can be seen that they have been carefully carved by her and can be placed in personal space for collection. 】

A small message is engraved on the wood carving:

【When you wake up in the silent dawn,】

【You will see me spread my wings and fly high. 】

……

"Thank you." It was a prop after all, even though it was worthless, Su Mingan still took it.

When he was about to turn around and leave, the smile on Naraku's face was even brighter.

"Rin." She said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will teach you how to practice a gun."

"it is good."

Su Mingan passed her by.

As he passed her, he noticed a strand of white hair at her temples.

"Nai Luo, the snow is no longer falling, you can put away the umbrella and be careful at night." He gave a symbolic warning and walked towards his house in the East District.

"it is good."

Naraku turned around, looking at him with a pair of confused eyes.

"but,"

she says:

"...Who is Naraku?"

……

When Su Mingan returned to the East District, the streets here were still quiet.

As the residents had all moved out, it was still a dead street right after the feast.

The cold wind poured into the collar, Su Mingan opened the door of the room, and walked towards the bed with a clear goal.

"Ding ding--"

The necklace around his neck jingled, Su Mingan took off the necklace and glanced at its properties.

……

[Pendant of Immortality (Red Level): "Captain, please take it... to see the world I haven't seen, and complete my unfinished journey."

Durability: 0/0 (Due to the "immortality" feature, this equipment will not lose durability.)
Equipment Requirements: Player Su Mingan (the only one).

Active Skill (Immortality): Use it on any dying NPC or player to forcefully extend their life for ten seconds.The cooling time is half a day, and it can only be used once by the same person. 】

……

This is a special skill equipment that does not have combat characteristics. In some special cases, it can be used as a "battle continuation" skill that can be used repeatedly.

"..." Looking at the message on the equipment interface, he looked away.

After sorting out the harvest, he suddenly felt extremely tired.

Every time he passed a copy, he felt that he was gradually losing something, and after Sheld's death, this sense of loss became more obvious.

It seems that every second of being alive, something flows like fine sand. It is a feeling of panic that makes people a little confused but can't be stopped.

In the upper right corner, the barrage is still noisy as always. They seem to feel very sad for Sherwood's death, and it is difficult to understand why Su Mingan didn't forcefully save the other party.

In their view, life is the most important thing, what is the knight's will?There was no need for Sheld to sacrifice his life for a group of NPCs.

Su Mingan didn't look at the barrage anymore.

He lay down on the bed.

……

The blood-red sky was as dull as ever.

Golden sparks float in the air, and this place is like a hell on earth that has been ravaged by magma.

Su Mingan opened his eyes, and walked onto the scarlet land, the small sand table at the door of the church was floating in front of his eyes.

Thousands of puppets of different shapes appeared in front of his eyes with the "shua shua" white light, and the formation was extremely spectacular.

Now it is the fifth level of "The Devil and the Brave", and he continued his previous actions.

He properly arranged the battle situation and deliberately provoked the war, so that the armies of both sides could fight meaninglessly, and collected the energy generated by their hatred and death to strengthen his Demon King City.

But now, he already knew,
This is not a playful little game of resource placement.

Floating in front of you is a toy-like sand table,

...that was a cruel and bloody war that took place in the real history of Praia.

On the sand table, armor model soldiers like red and blue chess pieces,

...that are real lives sacrificed in war.

He watched the armies of both sides fight, watched the number of both sides decrease little by little, and then increase a little bit... Old soldiers continued to die at the forefront, and new soldiers continued to join them.

[There is always soul hunting and death. 】

[But there are always people who have been becoming soul hunters. 】

……

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what the old grandma had said when he first came to Praia, holding his hand and persuading him.

All the unreasonable phenomena gradually became reasonable in the battle in the small sandbox.

This is a world where we have to hurt each other in order to survive.

Humans and souls, souls and souls, humans and humans.

In this morbid way of life, people deviate from their original intentions and gradually coexist with pain.

Bear the dirt and humiliation, drag out an ignoble existence.

...However, there will always be people like Sherwood.

Su Mingan stretched out his hand to adjust the situation of the battle between the two sides, sparking the flames of hatred.

……

[Their deaths must not be meaningless. I command them and carefully arrange the ending of each of them. 】

【——I let everyone work hard for a tomorrow. 】

……

On the sand table, there are two armies facing each other, one army's armor is red, and the other army's armor is blue.

In the midst of the fight, a golden chess piece appeared.

——[Hero].

A brave man appeared on this land.

On the head of this chess piece, there is a line of small characters.If you don't look carefully, you will really miss it.

[The Despicable Ones of the Betrayed Heaven and Their Companions]

The wretched of heaven rebelled anyway.

Unavoidable.

Because this is a fact that has already happened in reality.

……

The high-pitched system voice rang out, with a strangely passionate tone:
【——My respected Lord Demon King! 】

[With the passage of time, the "brave" and his partners appeared! 】

[I believe that after such a long time of operation, you already have the strength to fight against it! 】

[You are the great demon king guarding the castle, please fight to the death with the brave man who will come to challenge you later! 】

[Please kill this "brave" who tried to overthrow your rule in vain! 】

[To this world, pour out your anger!Let darkness cover this world, burn the whole land with endless flames, and turn the world into a bloody prison...]

……

Hearing the high-pitched system voice, Su Mingan only felt irony.

"I kill myself?" he said.

The system voice completely ignored his meaning.

It just kept shouting on its own, and its hot-blooded emotions seemed to only infect itself.

That is the battle report from the sand table:

[The battle situation has reversed! 】

[The appearance of the brave man united the armies of both sides!Your soldiers (Golden Rose), (Black Lover), (Holy Radiance) have lost contact. 】

[As a devil, you play in the world, and you control the armies of both sides in the world - you need to provoke them to war and cause them to die to get evil points! 】

【However, there is a truce between the red and blue armies, and the death toll has decreased on a large scale. Your source of strength is failing. Please get the crime points as soon as possible! 】

[Sin value from target: 87980 (paused)/100000 (If the target value is not collected before the end of this level, your level will fail.)]

After saying this, the system's voice faded away, and a blue option appeared in front of Su Mingan.

The blue light was beating, as if tempting him to press it as soon as possible.

He stared at the blue option, motionless, as if he had fallen into a permanent stillness.

On the sand table, the armies of the two sides have stopped the bloody war, and it seems that they have fallen into a state of truce.

Behind the sand table, among the simulated city buildings, the lights are brilliant, and gorgeous fireworks bloom in the sky.

Red and green Christmas lights are strung together in a cuboid-like simulated city, and the sound of singing can be heard faintly.

……

“Where the tree tops glisten (bi tree is shining)~”

“And children listen (children stop and listen)~”

"——May your days be merry and bright (——May your days be merry and bright)"

……

He had heard this piece in Playa, on a snowy night, when the feast at sea began.

At that time, when Noel walked in from outside the house, this Christmas song came in through the crack of the door like a flowing stream.

It is an inescapable fact that the devil represents the gods and the sand table represents Praia.

At this moment, there is no room for chance.

He closed his eyes and held out his hand.

The red sparks danced in his ears, and when he stretched out his hand, he heard the ringing sound of the pendant of immortality on his neck.

"Ding-ling--"

He clenched the shaking photo folder with his left hand, and pressed the blue option in front of him with his right hand.

The blue light flickered, and the moment his finger pressed down, it was instantly stained with a layer of blood-like red.

Through the sand table that was suddenly stained with blood, and the fallen soldiers, he seemed to see the blood-red heavenly road spreading across the southern district... and the bridge of corpses that could not be seen at a glance .

The bright red font is beating on the options, like flowing blood.

……

[In order to obtain enough crime points, create a large number of deaths to meet the final brave——]

[Great Lord Demon King, do you choose to invest a part of the evil value,]

……

【——To launch a sea monster to attack the city? (If you don't initiate it, your level will be declared a failure, and you will immediately lose the qualification to play in this world.)]

……

【Yes. 】

Su Mingan clenched the pendant in his hand.

……

Bright blood, at this moment, unfolded on the sand table battlefield with Christmas music floating.

"Bam—!"

There was a shot that pierced through the chest, as if someone had blown the horn to declare war on the sand table.

at this moment,
He heard the bang of the flintlock,
The crisp ringing of sword-to-blade clashes,
The sound of the collision of the armor and the siren's energy was a small but one after another whine.

In front of his eyes, a small, pale energy, like a rainbow after rain, gradually extended and formed from one side of the sand table city, like a white line drawn by a brush, gradually drawn to the other side of the battlefield.

Its color ranges from light white to pure white, and from pure white to crimson.

Countless small armored men charged on this white line, shattered and disappeared, leaving behind a pool of bright red blood.

Like a blood-red banner unfurled in white.

Like a giant snake with a white back, it gradually became wide and bloated, as if wrapped in blood-red clothes, and gradually stretched into the blue sea far away.

A moment later, in the blue ocean, a figure model wearing golden armor leaped out.

Behind him, the sea monsters that followed him were like stars rolling down on a sand table.

Such a scene is very childlike, like a nonsensical children's fairy tale.

However, only those who have really experienced this tragic war can understand what happened in this seemingly absurd drama.

—he himself initiated the catastrophe.

Su Mingan lowered his head.

He opened the photo folder inside the necklace.

At this moment, he discovered that the necklace that Sheldore gave him had a different photo inside.

This is not the original photo of my younger sister Xie Changying with a bright smile.

It's a group photo with warmer tones.

Under the warm interior lights, there is an invisible, white building in the distance.

In the dim night, there are faintly lit soft lights.

Inside the window, heat rises.

Facing the camera, the blond knight smiled and held up the engraved gemstone in his hand, and took this somewhat blurry photo.

In the photo, Noel, who sent out the long amber knife, is standing on the left side of the photo.Su Mingan, who received the long knife, is the center of the photo. With his head down, he is intently looking at the introduction on the weapon.

The grilled meat was golden, and there was a fuzzy heat floating in it.

The face of the blond knight, close to the camera, is pasted on the right side of the photo, and the face is secretly shot secretly.

In the lower right corner of the photo is the date it was taken, which was just a few days ago.

There are also a few lines of neat small characters below, the font is small, and the writing is very concealed.

……

【team leader. 】

[When I give this necklace to you, we and Changying, shall we have another barbecue? 】

[Even without lemon, Praia's barbecue is delicious. 】

【Right? 】

……
