Chapter 698 Chapter 690 BE22 "Meeting You"

this time?
Su Ming'an couldn't accurately understand what Nuo Er said.

The wind and snow lifted Noel's blond hair, and the heat swelled and disappeared on the side of his face, outlining his pale face.His expression is very focused.

"You look down," Noel said.

"Hula-"

The height of the crow decreased, Su Mingan lowered his head, and saw the speeding train on the ground.Through the excellent five senses of Shadow State, he heard the voice below.A train speeds by, and a mother and daughter are chatting.

"Nini, be good, don't put your hands and head out of the car window, you understand?" A mother's voice came from the train, and she pulled the girl's hand back.

"Mom, when will Dad come back from the battlefield?" the girl said.

"After tonight, if we can see the dawn rise, Dad will be back. Nini must give him a big hug then, okay?"

"it is good."

"Not only Dad, but everyone on the battlefield is a hero. Nini will learn from them in the future, you know?" Mother said.

"Okay!" The girl paused, "Mom, what should we do if we don't see the dawn rise?"

"That means that a nuclear explosion happened... It doesn't matter, Nini, you just have to remember that in the 48th year of the catastrophe, everyone fought with all their might to the last moment, whether it was a frontline soldier like your father or a frontline soldier like your mother." Logistics." The mother said softly, her voice choked with sobs: "No one is ashamed..."

"Ah, Mom, look out the window, I see a crow! A living crow, so beautiful—"

Suddenly, the girl cried out in surprise.

Mother looked up and saw a crow like a black island floating in the sky outside the car window.Under the dark sky, it flew to the earth in such a distant and peaceful manner, as if the water was about to melt gently into the water.

During the long war, people hardly saw any live animals, and the air was always filled with a gray smog. The girl had never seen a bird since she was a child.

But tonight she saw it.

On the last night of the war, before dawn, she saw a bird flying free.

"Mom, didn't you say that we won't be able to see birds until the war is over, after a long, long time, when people enter the spring?" The girl said, "I have only seen the foggy sky since I was a child. Could it be that in the cold winter Will there be birds in there too?"

Mother holds the girl in her arms.

She rubbed the girl's head:

"Nini, maybe spring has come."

……

……spring.

Su Mingan heard this word more than once.

In the eyes of people in the ruined world, it represents all good things.Warmth, beauty, light...everything that is not in the winter night, spring will have it.What was lost in the war, the spring will bring back.

For this spring, I don't know how many people died in the 16 years of cold winter.

"..."

The crow continued to move forward, and he saw the lights of thousands of houses in the city. The flickering red car lights were like flowing blood vessels, linking the hearts of all residents on the earth to maintain their lives.

The lights of the Qingtian Building flickered, and the network of "shua la la" in the streets rang like a bell.

He looked far away, and saw beyond the city in the distance—there were corpses lying invisible to the naked eye.Trucks galloped to carry munitions, trains galloped past like pythons, and soldiers who went to the front line held guns to say goodbye to their families.The Fuyuan Festival is perfectly integrated with the last night of the most dangerous dawn war, and everyone is looking forward to stepping into the warm world.

"Whoa-!"

The fire is soaring into the sky, the same color as the fireworks.

In the sky, Nuoer also looked down on this splendid world.

"I often think... the universe is endless, but human beings are so small." Noel said, "Humans are a very strange race—even if they become the overlords on the planet, they cannot solve the problem that animals can easily solve." The problem. Humans do not have absolute rules among animal groups, and some people are born with rebellious bones, which makes them want to resist all the time even if they are ruled, chasing the freedom that can only be reached by sacrificing their lives..."

Su Mingan turned his head to look at Nuo Er with blood red eyes.

"To describe this kind of person in one sentence, it is..." Noel also looked at him: "...it's people like you and me."

"...What?" Su Mingan said.

Noel's voice was too soft for him to hear.

"I said, I admire people who are naturally rebellious." Noel said with a smile.

The other side of the night sky was so far away that even if Noel looked out, he couldn't catch anything but the skyline.Those distant nights are like a safe full of secrets, trapping risk-takers who are as desperate as moths to a flame.

Compared with this vast wind and snow, human's slender body is as small as a tiny particle, reminiscent of the truth of the universe and life and death.

"Puppet master, what do you want to say?" Su Mingan said.

"I want to say... what can overwhelm people the most is a repeated 'feeling of powerlessness'." Noel said: "People who are naturally rebellious lose what they want to get again and again. Once again irreparable...these individuals who are suffering and cannot end their suffering, no theory can reach their hearts and souls, or speak to the despair they feel."

"Then what suggestion do you have?" Su Mingan vaguely felt that Noel was hinting at him: "The puppet master..."

and many more.

At this moment, Su Mingan suddenly thought of a possibility.

Noel's in-game occupation is a puppeteer.

Puppet master, as the name suggests, Noel can control the movements, expressions, and words of the puppets, so that the puppets can perform on the stage and perform every play perfectly.

Noel can use silk threads to control objects around him, he can even control NPCs, control players... he can control almost everything he sees.

But Knoll's thread...

Su Mingan's heart skipped a beat.

——Is it possible to control Noel himself?

If Noel's will can control the silk thread, let the thread run through every bone of his own, control every inch of expression on his own skin, and turn his own body into a puppet that can perform...

Then, behind the body of "Noel Invaded by Tavi" with bright red eyes,

——Is there a soul of a clear-headed Noel who controls his body with silk threads?

Su Mingan suddenly remembered what the god on his body said when he saw Nuoer before:

【And this one named Noel is really interesting, he actually...】

"..."

—he wasn't actually hacked at all.

Nuoer cut his body and soul apart, watched with cold eyes that his body was bewitched by the gods and turned into red eyes, and he did all kinds of vicious and cruel things like a walking dead.

His soul remained awake, manipulating his body with silk threads, performing a puppet show in which he was "invaded by him", in order to obtain important information about the camp of gods.

——This is a perfect performance that only the puppeteer profession can do.For others, it is impossible to separate the body and soul.

That's how Noel tricked the gods.

He tied the puppet silk into his body.

——This is a method that only a lunatic can think of, and he must always bear the double pain of being separated from his body and soul.

The god in Su Ming'an was not deceived by Nuoer, he revealed this cryptically.However, the god in Nuo Er is not so smart, he was deceived by Nuo Er's superb puppet show.

Even Su Mingan and all the audience were deceived.

"..."

Su Mingan raised his head.

At this moment, he seemed to hear the "swish" sound from the silk thread. With the night scene as the scene and the crow as the stage, the blond magician smiled at him.

Nuo Er opened his lips slightly, and described a sentence to Su Mingan——

[Go to the valley of (283, 298), find a man named Beiliser, threaten him with the mechanical products he hides underground, and break the deadlock on the third line.This is the secret message I learned from the god who invaded me. 】

"Ding dong!"

Su Mingan suddenly heard the system prompt.

[You get hidden clues - the valley of North Lyser]

[(Valley in North Liser): North Liser is not afraid of heaven and earth, only the mechanical products he hides underground can make him tell secret clues.It is said that this clue is related to the Dawn system, which can turn the world upside down and restore the missing person...]

"..."

Su Mingan's breathing froze for a moment, and the shocking thunder pierced his heart.

suddenly see the light.

——It turned out that this red-eyed Noel body,

Just a puppet manipulated by Noel's waking soul,
It is the capital he used to deceive the gods to go deep into the dangerous land,

It was he who risked his life to obtain the credentials of an unknown explorer,

It is the thread of his soul that pierces his body.

He is the real—【Puppeteer】.

It's not just his weapons and enemies that Silk Thread controls...even himself.

"..."

Su Mingan raised his head and saw the blond boy standing in the wind and snow.

The fluttering blond hair is as beautiful as the feathers of the golden crow in mythology, and when blown by the cold wind, it looks like a water bird skimming over the lake.

"Okay, you will achieve third-line perfection." Nuo Er smiled: "Happy New Year, Ming An."

Everyone had only seen the red-eyed Noel before, thinking that he was invaded by [Tawei] and lost his mind.No one saw that behind the curtain was the puppeteer who calmly manipulated his own body to perform.

——He is the second player, how could he be confused by whispers?

He just chose the most dangerous infiltration method, handed over his body, and firmly held his soul until this moment.

He didn't know whether Su Mingan's authority was to jump the timeline, and he couldn't even be 100% sure that it was a death rollback. It was very likely that he couldn't even keep his soul, and was truly completely invaded.

But he knew that only this method could truly help Su Mingan, who was at the heart of the crisis.

It's textbook messaging, a perfect Mission: Impossible.

……

[This is the second player of human beings. 】

……

"Su Ming'an, I have already lost all the qualifications to pass the level perfectly, so I will raise my hands high and lift you up into the sky..." Nuo Er didn't say the rest of the sentence.

What he wants to say is that only in this way can the only "first player" who has the god-like authority of time and can truly compete with Gaowei step into a brand new new world where there is no deadlock.

He has always been a daring gambler, a crazy and rational adventurer.

A golden bird flying towards freedom, high above the sky and never falling.

"...Thank you, Noel."

Su Mingan responded.

Noel smiled.

His eyes were filled with bubbles of happiness.

The laughter was weak, as if melting away with the dark world——

"Ming An—I was still a little uncertain about the next clue. I need you to tell me when I go back. Remember, [Shaking your head is a scenario simulation, waving your hand is a timed rewind, hugging is a death rewind, and greeting is to read a file. 】”

Nuoer's words sounded inexplicable, but Su Mingan understood.

"I see."

Noel got up, stopped looking at Su Mingan, and looked at the dark sky.

He opened his arms high, and his laughter was as free as the wind.It was as if a scalding flame was burning his body, like a sunny day slowly blooming in the sky——

"spring is coming……"

……

Su Mingan raised his hand and stabbed at his temple, he closed his eyes.

next week.

Su Mingan opened his eyes, stopped Tretia from detonating the bomb as in the previous episode, distracted Lin Guang, rescued Yamada Machiichi, and then turned back.

Under the rippling moonlight of the upper floors, a blond magician stepped on a black crow and appeared outside the window with blood-red eyes:

"Hello, a guest from the City of Gods, the owner of this place has left, I will take this opportunity to take you away..."

next moment,
——Su Mingan took a step forward without hesitation, and hugged Noel.

[Shaking your head is a scenario simulation, waving your hands is a timing backtracking, hugging is a death rewinding, saying hello is reading an archive]

……

[A hug is a death retracement. 】

……

At this moment, a piece of "information" spanned two irrelevant weeks, reversed the recurring archives, and jumped freely between the long rivers of time.In this embrace, the two isolated islands who could not communicate suddenly understood each other's hints.

"Ah..." Noel responded softly.

He got it.

A few days ago, he had already given himself a psychological hint. If he could connect with Su Mingan, he must control himself to say [shaking the head is a scenario simulation, waving is a timed rewind, hugging is a death rewind, greeting is to read the archive 】This sentence.

He thought that in the last episode, he should have said this sentence himself.

That's why Su Mingan hugged him.

...It turns out that Su Ming'an's power is to revert to death.

He got it.

He knew what to do next.

——Between Zhou Mu and Zhou Mu, gradually improve the information they have mastered each other... As an ordinary human being, he will jump into the time flow of Su Mingan, the death-returner.

No high-dimensional creature can know the meaning of their hug across Zhoumu—this is an "absolutely concealed" information transmission linking different Zhoumu with human wisdom.

With pure human wisdom, defeating the gods... who said it was impossible?
……

Wisdom is the eternal burning torch of human beings.

……

"Shua", Nuoer loosened the soul thread that controlled his body, and his eyes temporarily turned from bright red to blue.

Su Mingan's fingers rested on his back, hugging him so hard, as if pulling his soul tightly.

As if hugging a warm sun tightly, Su Mingan's whole body was trembling slightly, like a frozen survivor who had just recovered from the snow.

He squeezed his fingers tightly, as if he was holding a ball of burning firewood tightly.

The isolated islands hug each other tightly, and the drowning people are desperate to survive.

"..."

Humans are a very peculiar race.

They despise authority, are ashamed of obedience and obedience, and are naturally rebellious and unwilling to be insulted... Some people are born with rebellious bones and will never give in.

——This kind of rebellion makes them go through death and finally get something, makes them frantically save and seek benevolence, makes them go through fire and water to get their wish.

——It made them resist non-stop even though they were ruled by Gao Wei, and made them desperately go back to save those who should not be able to save.

——Even if they know that they may die, they still fearlessly cut their souls across Zhoumu to transmit information...

Even let the pioneers meet each other until the No. 18 week when the winter is over.

Su Mingan fought to the death for eighteen weeks... It was because he was rebellious and refused to accept his fate.He thought that no one should be missing.

He said "I'm sorry" so many times, not to watch her cry and say it's okay before she dies.

"[In this life, we will meet many people, and fate is as fragile as dew.]" Nuo Er talked about the sentence in "Dust Song", as if to sign with him: "[Only with you, like It’s a never-ending river.”

"[When the two rivers converge and merge into the waterfall, even the mist that obscures the vision will fade away.]" Su Mingan responded.

He remembered that on Christmas Eve in Yunshang City, Nuoer clicked the death rewind, so that his soul that was on the verge of erosion would be safely rescued by Su Mingan in the next week.This hand is like a stroke of magic.

At that time, Nuoer crossed the two weeks before and after that were beyond the reach of human beings, and controlled the power of time belonging to the gods in the palm of his hand, achieving perfect self-saving.

Today's New Year's Eve is also a snowy night.

The third-line deadlock, Su Mingan, who could not be rescued no matter what, fell into despair, walked through sixteen weeks, and suddenly looked back in the snowstorm——

The blond boy was smiling at him in the snowstorm, holding the password to break the game.

……

【This time, it's my turn. 】

……

With Nuoer's wisdom, Su Ming'an must have tested all possibilities before turning back to find him.

The two missed the sixteenth week.

But as long as there is one week... Su Mingan chooses to start with Nuoer, the handover will be successful.

This time, it was his turn to help him.

The isolated islands no longer face each other, they have a secret language of communication across time and space.

The teenager will cross time and Zhoumu, and use human wisdom to calculate the gods.

The dead end is broken.

Three lines are perfect.

……

The long night will dawn.

……

……

[In this life, we will meet many people, and fate is as fragile as dew. 】

[Only with you, like an endless river. 】

……
