Chapter 52 Let's Play
"It was really hard for him."
A group of people gathered on the green lawn, some sitting and some standing, their eyes all fixed on the bright yellow blanket in the middle where Lin Han was lying.
He rested his head on Su Fu's legs, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quietly, with an unresolvable gloom between his brows.
No one who heard this said anything, and everyone remained silent.
Su Fu's hand was placed on the side of Lin Han's face, his palm was slightly shining, and the sunlight above his head shone on Lin Han's face under his guidance, which should have warmed his body, but Lin Han's face was still pale and his lips were bloodless.
He was like this because of fear, tension and confusion. Although his body was out of danger, his mind was still trapped in the cage of fear and unable to escape.
Maybe he'll feel better after he wakes up, but everything he encountered in the first two copies will not be erased from his memory so easily. It will always leave deep scars that will hurt from time to time.
Jiang Xuchen sighed, took two steps forward and sat next to Lin Han. He reached out, pulled up his cold hand, and grabbed two of his fingers.
“I actually just wanted to give it a try.”
Jiang Xuchen had long taken a fancy to Lin Han, but Lin Han had never been interested in the new world, and he couldn't force him to come in. After waiting for a long time for Lin Han to enter the game by himself, he couldn't wait to take action without telling anyone.
He gave Lin Han a special hidden identity, brought Lin Han to the academy and kept him by his side, ignored the rule of "you only have one life" in the new world, sent Alfred to protect him all the time, and blatantly opened a backdoor for him, but he could not overcome the most fundamental problem - Lin Han has a very weak soul.
A kind soul that is too weak to bear violence, blood and killing, and cannot afford illusory guilt and self-condemnation.
The crow came out from under the black veil covering Anna's face, tilted its head and cried hoarsely, "Ah ah", also bringing out the voice of its owner.
"The people here are all very gentle. Some are foolish, some are intelligent, but none of them tend to harbor bad thoughts or evil intentions. Even if they do, they only exist in their imaginations, never put into practice." Anna's nails were also painted black. She pulled a corner of the black veil over the crow, then pinched its beak maliciously. "They make a very clear distinction between fantasy and reality, and they have a set of moral codes that are universally accepted. Because so many people agree with them, even the gossip and persistent public opinion have become a force for good."
If Lin Han is given a direct choice, to kill the other player in front of him, or he will die, he will definitely think about how to kill the other person, but he will definitely not be able to pick up the knife in front of him.
He would blame the creator of the game for being too cruel and setting up such a choice that would make him feel guilty. If another player really attacked him, he would also blame the other party for being cold-blooded and ruthless and being able to do such a terrible thing as killing someone.
Knowing that this is a game, he will waste time until the countdown ends.
"People who grow up in such an environment cannot pick up the knife to do evil, nor can they catch the blood of innocent people."
They are all such people.
Just like the player who was granted four game chances by the New World as an exception, because he clearly knew that the New World was just an illusory game, he had no scruples when saving people. Even if it was beyond his ability, he still had to try, and he would die every time he saved someone.
They were forced to stop immediately.
Alfred, who was standing aside, remained silent. He agreed with what Anna said.
He personally brought Lin Han out of the two copies and saw him at close range as he was on the verge of death.
Alfred saw Lin Han's pupils gradually dilating. The wounds that he didn't care about made the young man in front of him weak and dying. His skin was covered with blue spots due to blood loss, as if it would break if he exerted more force.
But even at that time, there was no hatred or hostility in his dim eyes. He probably just felt that he was too weak, and was full of regret that he wished he could become stronger.
Lin Han has become what he is now because he is a good person in the general sense.
He's a good guy recognized by everyone. He can't accept killing others, even if it's just in a game. He can be called a coward, a coward, or just ordinary without any shining points, because...
"It's all so real," Alfred said.
Unable to distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion, Lin Han's consciousness forced himself to treat everything he faced with the same standards as reality.
Jiang Xuchen didn't say anything. He lay down next to Lin Han and rested his head on his chest.
He shone brightly in the sunlight, but his face was expressionless, his eyes were drooping and dark, so the light around him became cold.
He is the culprit who caused Lin Han to fall into this situation.
In fact, being selected is a good thing. Every one of them, including other students who are still unaware of the situation and are active in various places in the college, wants to be selected, but the qualification to be selected has not fallen on them.
Now it seems that only Lin Han can do it.
Besides, the journey has already begun and there is no way to change people midway.
Vivian sat on a rattan chair. The adult chair was too high for her. Even when she stretched her legs, it could barely touch the ground. Her teddy bear fell to the ground, and she didn't want to get off, so she picked it up with difficulty by picking it up with her toes.
After brushing off the grass debris on the little bear and holding it in her arms again, she propped up her face and asked, "Are all the people here really that weak?"
She was still a child, and her tender palms pressed depressions into her chubby cheeks, making her look innocent and cruel.
You Lin: "No, that depends on the environment they are in. In times of crisis, they become extremely resilient, unburned by fire or blown away by the wind. Almost all of them are like this."
You Lin was not in the academy before. He had just returned when he encountered this incident. He contacted the Blue Star officials several times and expressed his opinions based on his own views.
Everyone is like this, including Lin Han.
"He thought it was safe here." Su Fu, who was holding Lin Han, spoke and made a conclusion.
A sense of security is a valve.
When Lin Han's emotions reached a peak and were about to explode, he remembered that these horror stories happening around him were just a copy in the new world, a fake game, and the overwhelming emotions would flow out from this suddenly opened valve and return to the safe threshold.
Lin Han's emotions stabilized, and he became the ordinary Lin Han again. He could continue to go to new copies. He seemed normal, but from time to time he would feel scared because of the "aftereffects" left by the previous copy.
But for a person like Lin Han, no matter how powerful he is, he will never use it to hurt others, and he will never be able to pass the dungeon alone without help.
Knowing it was fake, Lin Han was overly immersed in it. Under the premise of safety, he got himself into a quagmire.
After so many times, it became difficult for Jiang Xuchen to achieve his wish.
Alfred moved closer, squatted down, touched Jiang Xuchen's head, and then covered Lin Han's eyes with his hand.
He could feel his eyeballs moving under his thin eyelids.
Lin Han was dreaming.
Alfred sighed, feeling as helpless as when he caught Lin Han from the copy just now.
The people in this world are different from those in other places. They advocate peace and do not take the law of the jungle for granted. They classify everyone into the camp of companions, which is the good promoted by the entire society.
They would risk everything in danger and would do anything, and they would be as imaginative as they could be in their fantasies and dare to do anything. But Lin Han was caught in the middle, making him unable to do anything and thinking about something but not daring to think about it.
The new world is just a game, and all dangers become data under this premise, so Lin Han will never be forced into a desperate situation.
Alfred: "Young Master, it's too late to let him think that everything is real and that he will actually die if he fails."
If Lin Han knew all this was true, he would never have entered the new world in the first place.
He remembered too well that the new world was just a game and nothing could be changed.
"He's here to play games, so let him play games freely." Alfred stood up.
He stood so close that he blocked the light that originally fell on Lin Han, Jiang Xuchen and Su Fu.
Jiang Xuchen nodded, leaned back and closed his eyes.
Everyone present fell silent.
From the very beginning, it was Jiang Xuchen's fault.
Those two copies were just trial and error, and it turned out that he was really wrong, so no one blamed him.
Unlike Lin Han, they have never been good people and will not feel guilty for hurting others.
The reason they gathered here at the moment was essentially to oppress Lin Han and make everything develop according to Jiang Xuchen's ideas.
At this moment, before Lin Han wakes up, they have to make changes.
Lin Han will not know all this for a long time in the future.
…
Lin Han was indeed dreaming.
He remembered that he had already completed the "Haunted House" copy. He should have left, or he might have fainted, but at this time he was still in front of Wen, looking at Wen with unclear vision through the thick frosted glass.
Wen's eyes seemed to be black, but to Lin Han at this moment, there were only four black blocks with slightly red edges.
He was clearly aware that Wen was looking at him.
Wen was looking at him and talking to him, but not a single word was said to him.
Not even the word "goodbye".
Lin Han quickly thought of Yin Yue, the person who had nothing to do with Wen, but they were suddenly connected at this time.
They were all looking at another person through him, and all their kindness was not because of him, but because of the person they wanted to see.
But compared to Yin Yue, Wen never really had any intention to kill him from beginning to end, and he helped him pass the level in the end, using quite brutal means.
When recalling this, Lin Han's gaze could no longer stay on Wen. He looked down uncontrollably, and then discovered with horror that he was still tightly holding a corner of the clothes in his hand.
He gasped and was almost stunned by his own discovery.
Lin Han had seen many corpses and terrifying ghosts, but this was the first time he had witnessed a living life disappear before his eyes at such a close distance, in an unacceptable way.
Death is so close, the whole world is red...
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened. At his feet was a huge, shattered and flattened cabbage.
Lin Han: “?”
