"You've gone crazy." Su Ming'an said, "You were already in a bad state when you were telling me the story, and it's even worse now. No need to thank me, I'll send you back now."
"...Su Mingan, are you so afraid of facing your past?"
Ryan's dull voice came up through the floor, with a hint of hysteria.
"I'm not afraid." Su Mingan said.
Ryan was panting, and suddenly he exerted force to stand up.
The strength value in the shadow state was pitifully low. Su Mingan loosened his hand instantly and took a step back. The space vibration in his hand had already been brewing.
Ryan supported himself on the blood-stained ground and slowly stood up.
His hospital gown was covered with sawdust and blood. He wiped the blood from the corner of his eye and smiled with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't you want to know what happened just now?" Ryan said, "Turn on the live broadcast. Let me finish what I want to say. I will tell you how Lin Jiang died."
"Start a live broadcast and let people watch you talk about what's in my file?"
"Yeah." Ryan nodded with a smile.
"Your bad taste matches the guy who tells your story very well." Su Mingan said.
"I hate orders from anyone." Ryan lit another cigarette, the cigarette butt glowing orange in the darkness. "Su Ming'an, I'm destined to be killed by you in this instance anyway, so why don't you let me vent my anger before I die - you have to let me take a little revenge."
Su Mingan was silent for a moment.
In his field of vision, the bullet screen was scrolling madly:
【Let him speak, let him speak!!!】
【I want to listen, let me listen! 】
[No, you guys, how could you be so excessive? Brother Ming An has already said that he doesn't want anyone to hear it... No one wants to make their dark history public, right? This is like exposing someone's scars in a bloody way.]
[What does it have to do with me? Why not eat the melon? 】
[…Actually, I’m also curious about the past of the first player.]
[If Ming An doesn't want to listen, then don't listen! It's okay to close the live broadcast room! We understand you! ]
[Yes! Everyone has a past that they cannot face. It’s okay if you don’t know the cause of Lin Jiang’s death. Can you still not pass the level without this information? ]
[If the No. 1 player has any dark history in the past, the World Forum will immediately wipe it out... I'm used to it.]
[First player, don't worry about him, just turn off the live broadcast! ]
【……】
"you say."
In the silence, Su Mingan spoke.
"I don't really object to that past. If you can help me learn to face it, it's okay for you to tell it in front of the whole world," he said.
Ryan put out the cigarette in his hand.
"...I'm really surprised." He leaned against the wall and said calmly, "It's hard to imagine how you, the person you are now, watched your mother's blood dripping onto the ground in the past."
The barrage exploded instantly.
They were shocked by the amount of information contained in Ryan's short sentence.
"Are you done?" Su Mingan asked.
"...Don't look at me like that. I don't really mean to torture anyone." Ryan raised his hands. "I just want to ask what you think of your mother. I saw in the file that your mother once cut her wrists in front of you and begged you not to leave... I'm personally very curious, what were you thinking at that time?"
"Are you here for a blind date, or do you have a hobby of reading and understanding other people's files?" Su Mingan said, "You also want to ask for my opinion?"
Ryan said: "I am naturally curious about all unknown things, but now this thing includes you, the first player - can I know your thoughts? That's all."
"If you are naturally curious, you can explore the mysteries of the universe."
"Don't joke at this time, Su Mingan."
"..." Su Mingan was silent for a moment: "I don't have any feelings. She just likes to use this trick to win my sympathy."
"Huh?" Ryan suspected he had heard it wrong.
"Thanks to her, I no longer had any expectations for the world." Su Ming'an said, "She wanted me to teach her how to put emotions into the music and to keep me with her in the piano room for a long time. But unfortunately, I also have my own life. I am not a toy cultivated by her. I love art because of my father, not because of her."
“No way, what mother would try to gain sympathy in front of her own child in this way…” Ryan smiled and raised his eyes.
He suddenly noticed the silence in the other person's eyes, like the setting sun.
"Now she is in the mental hospital and I am in the World Game. We have both found a suitable place and don't have to torture each other anymore." Su Mingan looked at him and said in a frighteningly calm tone: "Are you done asking?"
Ryan couldn't help but cough.
He felt that he was firmly locked in the other person's gaze, as if the air around him had been squeezed out, leaving him no room for even the slightest retreat.
“…I’m done.”
"Tell me what happened just now." Su Mingan said.
"Well, it was probably that Lin Jiang who came to kill me, and then I ran to the light spot in the corridor and used a precious item that could exchange positions, so that the light spot would determine that she was dead. Then... her attack also fell on the light spot, and the copy was reset..."
"Just that?"
"Yes, that's the process." Ryan nodded.
“Bang!”
His body was smashed firmly against the wall behind him, his throat was firmly locked by the opponent's hand, and his whole body was lifted high into the air.
"I understand." Su Mingan said, "You can go die now."
