The black magpie remained silent.

...Is that the only exception in his life script?

A life that was clearly written, a fate that was clearly written. That was the only time he had fought. Perhaps Su Wensheng was busy with other things at that time, allowing Hei Que to escape from Jiuyou, so that Hei Que, under the control of the power holder's skills, gave his only sword of destiny that could turn the tables to Su Ming'an.

He is still being manipulated.

Even though he escaped from Jiuyou, he eventually fell to Su Mingan's power-holder skills.

Freedom was never his.

He suddenly wanted to laugh out loud, to laugh happily for this hopeless life. Su Mingan would not laugh so hoarsely, but "Black Magpie" finally wanted to laugh like this, because he finally lived for himself for two or three seconds.

"...Are you sure you want to laugh, Black Magpie?" Su Wensheng said calmly. A panel appeared in front of him, filled with numbers 0 and 1. As long as Black Magpie behaved in a way that was completely inconsistent with Su Ming'an, Black Magpie would be erased as a mistake, just like those "Su Ming'an fragments".

Hei Que curled his lips. He no longer wanted to live, so what if he smiled once?

However, Su Wensheng's next words ended his smile.

"No, I should call you..." Su Wensheng touched his chin, tilted his head slightly, and a few strands of hair entangled in the petals, as if giving them a gentle kiss:

"...Xiao Jingsan-3030."

In an instant, even Su Mingan's expression changed.

Hei Que is a replica of Su Ming'an, the 3030th one, so he should be "Su Ming'an-3030", but why...

"You don't really think you are a replica of Su Ming'an, do you?" Su Wensheng's voice was like thunderbolt: "Unfortunately you are not. Don't you think your personality is quite different from Su Ming'an? To be honest, Xiao Jingsan is the protagonist of the replica plan, but he was influenced by Xiao Ying and defected. So we can only copy a 'Xiao Jingsan' first, and then make adjustments later..."

The truth fell like a bloody blade in an instant.

The black magpie took one step forward, and then another.

His expression was completely blank, like a bloody piece of white paper, with nothing on it but emptiness, complete nothingness.

Then he took another step forward.

Su Mingan then realized that Xiao Jingsan was indeed more like him than Hei Que. Xiao Jingsan was like Su Mingan's clone, with many characteristics and temperaments being very similar - the most obvious being Xiao Jingsan's face and voice.

At the beginning of the dungeon, Su Mingan discovered that Xiao Jingsan's face was exactly the same as his own. Xiao Jingsan of Louyue Kingdom was the shadow substitute of the eldest prince. Even the character settings were the same.

……No wonder.

No wonder Xiao Ying once praised Su Mingan’s face as “the most perfect face in the world”, and later Hei Que also praised him the same way, saying “this is the most perfect face in the world”.

——Because Hei Que exists in imitation of Xiao Jingsan.

He is a "copy" of a "copy".

"So... I don't even count you." Hei Que looked at Su Ming'an, his eyes like broken black gems.

"…Then what am I?"

There was nothing left in his pupils, the corners of his lips were raised, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and a bitter expression belonging to Su Mingan formed. This was the expression Su Mingan was used to making.

As the fire burned, dazzling sparks shot out from the monitoring screen, and the fire choked people so much that they could not speak. Smoke gradually spread out and filled the entire control room.

The black magpie stood in the fire, as if it was about to be swallowed by the flames.

At this time, he took out a small object from his arms - a lighthouse sculpture. It was made of wood, and there were still some unsmoothed knife marks on the surface. He had carved it out one by one at night.

Then there were the pieces of music in his arms - he wrote them himself. At night, sitting in front of the piano, he thought that one day he would be recognized by the real owner. He knew that Su Mingan would definitely suffer something in the future, so he needed a replica of him to replace his fate.

Su Mingan likes lighthouses, so he must like lighthouses.

Su Mingan likes to play horror games, so he wants to practice playing horror games.

Su Mingan is good at piano, so he also needs to be proficient in music theory.

...How did "Su Ming'an" construct and reshape him, and who did he become in the end? Three identical faces, who is the luckiest and who is the unluckiest?

"Everything I do to you is also based on procedures and scripts." Hei Que and Su Ming'an were separated by a thick black fog, and even Su Wensheng on the high platform could not be seen clearly. His eyebrows showed a similar despair.

"It turns out that there is no soul named Black Magpie in my brain."

“I was never the protagonist.”

Su Mingan opened his mouth but said nothing. Even if he said anything, he would only be looking down on Hei Que from the perspective of the protagonist. This was not Hei Que's fault. The plan was made thousands of years ago, the brainwashing was done by the gods, and what drove Hei Que was Su Mingan's sense of responsibility, but what about himself?

He just wanted to be Black Magpie.

Then, through the thick black fog, Su Mingan heard the laughter of the black magpie in the steaming fire.

It's laughter.

The wild, passionate, ostentatious, wanton laughter definitely does not belong to Su Mingan, but to "Black Magpie".

——He laughed. He laughed against his “personality”. It was a laugh that put him to death. But it was also the only time he laughed freely.

Laughter exploded in the air, like the brilliant bloom of fireworks. Each short laugh was full of power, passionate and free, as if it could stir up the waves and shake the mountains.

"...Will you come with me, Black Magpie?" Su Ming'an asked. According to the advanced skills of the ruler, he can take Black Magpie with full favorability. Black Magpie has always been curious about the player, and now he has got what he wanted.
