Chapter 719 Chapter Seven "I'm afraid I'll leave in spring first."

Su Mingan looked at the singing people.

He must have read it wrong and had a hallucination.

Otherwise, how could he see the shadow of a white dove in the reflected pupils of these people, holding a spring green branch.

"Xiaoshuai, you will succeed. When we find new resources, everyone will be rescued..." Xi whispered, pulling at his clothes.

"Okay." Su Mingan promised, he saw the frostbite on Xi's face, wrinkled with her smile, like a blooming rose.

"You promised, you can't cheat, don't leave." Xi said.

"Well, I promise." Su Mingan said.

For the first time, he felt this kind of large-scale war intuitively.

This world is very similar to his world, as if he stepped into a war-torn Zhai Xing.Everyone he saw had his own thinking; everything he experienced contained unrepeatable emotions; what he was in was not like a copy of a game, but like a real large-scale world.

When a group is excited, human beings can rationalize all negative emotions such as fear, panic, pain, numbness, etc., and point the spearhead at a clear goal.But now, people have no goals, and their biggest enemies are their own hunger and cold.

This enemy is almost unsolvable.

There is no means of revenge - people can't even see the shadow of the enemy, they can only feel that their world is being invaded a little bit.The more enemies you kill, the more confused you feel...

—What are they fighting for?

—Who can their weapons be aimed at?

Humans will always die of greed, and Actor will always die of city-states, no matter how many times it is repeated.The gods are always out of their reach, whispering in people's ears high above.

"I feel like I'm trapped..." Before getting drunk, Xi leaned on his body and made a sound like a kitten taking a nap:

"...What are we trapped in, why can't we break free... Xiaoshuai, you are so smart, do you know..."

She leaned to the side and fell drunk on the ground, her cheeks flushed with smoke.

"City Master, I'll take her to rest." Sen said.

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

Sen Kelstia hugged Xi like a young granddaughter, his gray hair glowed with a layer of crystal shimmer under the firelight, if the wrinkles on his face were removed.He still looks like the heroic look Su Mingan had when he first met him 32 years after the catastrophe.

However, when he picked her up and stood up, there was a "click" from his ankle, which seemed to be the sound of bones. His forward spine dragged his trembling body, and he walked forward step by step, with the weight of years on his shoulders. Even the red cloak behind him has faded.

Others came to toast and invited Su Mingan to sing together, Su Mingan shook his head.He passed the drunken people and returned to his marching tent.

He sat for a long time in front of the scattered war sand table.

The barrage was like snowflakes across his field of vision. Today is the third day of the first lunar month, and people are still in the atmosphere of Chinese New Year. The cold and despair here have nothing to do with them.

He squatted on the table for a while until everyone outside fell asleep.

In the early hours of the morning, he left the tent covering the space concealment field without waking anyone up.Many people slept on the ground, some curled up the big leaves, some leaned on the branches and dozed off, the air was warm with a smoky red wine, and the bonfire was still "crackling" at night.

A figure was waiting for him under the tree.

Su Mingan put away the space domain: "What's the matter?"

Noel took off his black robe: "I'm here to give you the latest battle situation, you don't want to go back to Doomsday City for now."

Su Mingan said, "Did something happen to Doomsday City?"

"Yes, Doomsday City is under full-scale attack..." Noel said this, and glanced at Su Mingan's expression: "But I want to tell you...Su Mingan, not everyone is ungrateful, and some people are unwilling to hand you over .People whose loved ones are about to freeze to death, so they can sacrifice a human hero who saved them..."

Su Mingan said: "No need to say, I understand."

He didn't complain about these people who chose to live, nor did he hate them.

"Want to take a walk with me? Talk about clues by the way." Noel said.

"Let's go." Su Mingan said.

He just couldn't sleep.

Walking in the dark without light is not a good walking experience.Surrounded by ghostly dead trees.However, Su Mingan's expression is very relaxed, as long as he doesn't think about anything, it is the best trip for him.

Su Mingan thought that when the dungeon was just opened, Noel pushed his wheelchair and ran around the ruins of the city of measurement, dragging the long dragon that the players were chasing.It rained heavily that day, and it was gray, like smoke and dust floating in the sky.The blond boy bowed his head and said to him——Su Ming'an, let's run away, don't worry about these human beings anymore, let's run away in the game, run far away, run away to a place where no one can see and no one can blame .

Both of them knew it was impossible.

So after that, Noel separated the soul and body with puppet silk, and staged a puppet show spanning 33 weeks.

They all have something that they cannot give up even if they die.

So they can't escape even if they die.

Noel raised a lantern, and the yellow light dispelled the thick night fog, like a bright morning star.As he walked ahead, the rustling sound in the woods seemed to become a musical note.

"Su Ming'an, do you think... when order and law completely disintegrate, the world will be reduced to such an apocalypse?" Nuo Er whispered: "Too many people want you to die, where does the 'justice' come from?" ?”

"..."

"Everything that hinders oneself is regarded as 'a way to kill', and there is no notarization that can judge the correctness of behavior. Every day, a new 'personal law' is generated in people's own mouth, forming a new Code, to maintain this rule by force." Knoll said:

"Everyone holds the code in their hearts and becomes a 'judgment' like Tretia, judges with the naked eye whether a person is sick, and asks these 'judged' to come to an end according to the order in their hearts—【 Bewitched by him, your survival violates the survival and wishes of most people, so you are regarded as a 'survival violation' in everyone's heart code, and your breath and heartbeat are no longer protected by order .”

Noel is a man who lives through life.

His voice floated in the dark woods, as if gradually lifting the fog in front of him.

"in other words--"

Knoll said:
"People have judged your ending instead of a reasonable order and overall situation. Your death has been written in the code of their hearts by them."

Su Ming walked quietly.

"But it's not your fault," Noel said.

"..."

"The Su Ming'an I know is not like this. It's just that in just a dozen days, you are much more silent than the Eighth World." Nuo Er said: "The number one player is the number one player Zhai Xing people hope for. Asa · Akto is the hero in the hearts of the residents of the ruined world. And Su Mingan... is just this Su Mingan who talks to me."

He raised his head.

It's raining.

The night rain was cold, wet the scorched forest leaves, and sprinkled on their shoulders.When this cold rain falls, I don't know how many people will freeze to death.A catastrophe in this world can involve tens of thousands of people in one occurrence, which is incomparable to the number of casualties in the previous instance.

"A long time ago, I had a wish." Su Mingan said, "I hope that my life can really be happy..."

He didn't say any more.

This is his first sincere sentence tonight.

"It's hard to do," Noel said.

"Hmm. It's hard to achieve." Su Mingan said.

The heavy rain at night made people feel sticky and clammy.Noel stretched out his umbrella, but it still couldn't block the slanting rain, and the cold pierced their bodies like thin needles.

"Su Ming'an, I have never seen your end, your future is completely unpredictable..." Noel said.

"We have no ending." Su Mingan said.

Ding, ding, ding.

The rain hit the umbrella, and the torrential rain engulfed their sight, covering them like a hood.The two huddled under the rain, like fish waiting for the tide to come. The fine cold rain outside was like a sharp sword falling from the head, and there was only a piece of heaven and earth under the umbrella to breathe.

Approaching the camp, Noel stopped.

"I'll take you near the camp, I'm going back to the city first." Noel said, "Remember, don't go back to Doom City for now."

"Okay." Su Mingan took Nuo Er's umbrella and watched Nuo Er's figure gradually disappear into the rain.

When approaching the camp, Su Mingan heard someone arguing.

That was the voice of Sen Kelstia, Anjie, Jocelyn and others.Su Mingan approached quietly and saw dozens of people standing under the shade of a tree talking in low voices.

"—He is no longer an omniscient and omnipotent god! In the past three years, he is no longer invincible, he can't save us, why don't we hand him over? When God is no longer God, why should we sacrifice ourselves to hold God? "Jocelyn's voice was very low.

"No, the saddest thing for human beings is to surrender their heroes." Sen responded.

"—Does it have to be that our entire army is annihilated and everyone freezes to death in the snow to prove the strength of human beings? I don't want to hand over the city lord either, but Xiao Ke and the others are dying..." An Jie said .

Sen said: "Maybe what you said is right, but we can't do this, Anjie. I don't want everyone to live, but I really can't do something like handing over the city lord..."

"I can't do it either! How could I do it! He saved me!" An Jie blushed, her eyes were red, and she was in extreme pain: "But if we don't do this, what can we do? My fingers are so cold. I can hardly move, this is the end of the world..."

"..."

Dozens of people talked in low voices for 10 minutes before returning to the camp, pretending nothing happened.An Jie cried as she walked, she could not go against her conscience.

Perhaps, such arguments have happened countless times, but Su Mingan has never seen them.

Su Mingan stood at a distance for a long time until his body became cold.

With a "click", the medicine box opened, and he took out eight pills, stuffed them into his mouth, and squinted his eyes.

"……Ha ha."

In the wobbly, neon-like field of vision, he suddenly smiled.The laugh was light and muffled and didn't wake anyone up.He covered his mouth to prevent the inexplicable laughter from leaking out.

People love Asa Actor, who is always wise and steady. When he loses Actor's wisdom like a god, no one will love him again.

There is no help and love for no reason in this world.

Sure enough.

He hummed in a low voice the tune that Noel had hummed before, and his figure gradually disappeared into the shadows:
"How can I forget his words and believe the sun will rise tomorrow,

"I have made an eternal promise with spring, but now I am afraid that I will leave before spring..."

……

Early in the morning, it was discovered that Aktor was missing.

"Cheng, what about the city lord—I finished all the wine, but he didn't take a sip..." Sen got up with a hangover, and found that there was no one in the largest marching tent.

The bread fell to the ground, and he stared at the empty tent, realizing something.

Beside the war sand table, a few paragraphs of small words were left, and the paper was crumpled, as if it had been soaked in rainwater.On the paper was Su Mingan's handwriting.

……

【goodbye. 】

【Live. 】

……

People looked at the note and realized what the Santo had done.Sen said nothing to the empty castellan's seat.An Jie covered her face and shed tears.

"He still went to the edge of the world..."

"I knew this day would come..."

Everyone was very sad, some people cried bitterly, some wept silently, some were so sad that they fainted.

But no one rushed out.

No one followed the obvious footprints on the ground to stop the city lord from leaving.And no one tried to stop their castellan, hug him, tell him not to jump off the edge of the world, it was too cold there.

It seemed that at this moment, everyone suddenly accepted this fact.They carried the lives of so many relatives and friends on their backs, so they couldn't take this step to stop them.

Fate, like an irreversible torrent, pushed him to the altar of the world.

On the altar, no one stopped him.

……

In a total of [-] simulations,
Humans are not forced to hand over Actor every time,

It was Actor who walked out by himself every time.

……

"Ding dong!"

[You have completed a time node · the edge of the world. 】

[Get Actor's memory*1]

Su Mingan stepped on the mud.

He leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes, and the rain slid down his neck.
