Chapter 259: BE10: Fall (Reader Alliance Leader Added)
[People just get used to it, and instead of thinking, they become blind followers.]
[When a group is working towards one direction, anyone who turns around or leaves will become an outlier.]
[They are like a dying seedling, seeking a tiny bit of living space downwards, like a fish in stagnant water craving for the last bit of air.]
[They crave order, correct others, heal themselves, correct rebellion, and eliminate ignorance, but they also actively wander, reject alienation, crave reason, and are prone to madness.]
[——They eventually turned the paradise they dreamed of into an endless hell.]
[And in this age where light cannot be seen, some people took the initiative to sink into the gloomy rain. ]
…
Su Mingan waded through the heavy rain.
The crackling sound of rain like drumbeats filled his ears, and the water in the pit flooded over his calves.
Next to the tree, there was a young man lying down as if he had fallen asleep. He was leaning against the tree trunk with his eyes closed, holding a large sword that also seemed to have fallen asleep. He looked very peaceful.
Su Mingan withdrew his gaze.
There was heavy rain on his shoulders, which was slowly solidifying as he moved.
Crystal-like waves lit up around him.
He stared at Mizushima Kawaharu, his eyes as still as dead water.
“——I, I refuse your invitation!” Mizushima Kawaharu spoke immediately.
She had been observing Su Ming'an all the way, and naturally discovered his high tower invitation skill. She knew that as long as she refused, the invitation would be invalid for her, and it would not generate a barrier to isolate her from the outside world.
Su Mingan's expression remained unchanged.
In his equipment bar, azure light of skills flashed.
Special skill [Tower Invitation]: You can select a player or NPC and initiate a verbal invitation to them. If the other party agrees (any verbal or physical acknowledgement is deemed to be "agreement"), you will initiate a three-minute one-on-one duel with the other party, without being affected by other interferences during the period.
Special Skill [Tower Showdown] (Unlocked): When selecting a player or NPC, the other party’s consent is not required.
…
The next moment, a transparent barrier rose from the ground, completely covering the world.
Mizushima Kawaharu was stunned.
...I clearly refused, this is...
"boom--!"
The next moment, the air was surrounded by violent fluctuations.
It was as if countless hands were pulling at her body, and the raindrops around her were violently shattered.
The tremendous force that came from all directions of the world tore at her almost tore her frail body apart.
[HP-1248! (Critical hit! Combat power suppression! Mental suppression! Damage offset for victims!)]
"hiss……"
Her expression was instantly filled with pain, and twisting waves flowed all over her body.
She felt like her chest was boiling. Although there was no bleeding, she felt like all the bones in her body were shattered.
...If it weren't for the damage reduction bonus of the special status of [Victim], this blow would have taken her life.
She endured the pain, gritted her teeth, and immediately stretched out her hand. A golden light flashed like a star.
[You activated (the victim)'s active skill: Invincible Light Shield (can only be used once per instance, lasts for ten seconds, during which time you are not allowed to actively attack.)]
As the light shield appeared, the pressure was instantly reduced, and she immediately said: "-Su Mingan! Don't you care about Dongxue's life or death? Don't forget, her life is still in my hands!"
Su Mingan never looked back, his eyes were calm.
He knew what was happening to Dongxue behind him.
But he couldn't save her.
Even if the barrier of the tower invitation was raised now to cut off the connection between Mizushima Kawaharu and the ruby pendant, he could not save her.
Mizushima Kawaharu has been lurking here for so many years, and she must have done her best. Once the red light of the gem pendant lights up, there will be no chance of reversal. She is not the big villain boss in the story who gives opportunities madly. At this time, she still has to test his determination. Her purpose is just to make him fail here and go crazy.
Therefore, no matter what he did now, he could not prevent Dongxue's death.
Mizushima Kawaharu said this just to give him the final despair and make him think that Dongxue could still be saved.
He has seen too many such methods of torturing people's psychology, giving them hope and then plunging them into despair.
"The pendant is set to explode at a set time." Su Ming'an said in a very calm tone: "Even if I kill you here now, Dongxue will still die."
A smile appeared on Mizushima Kawaharu's face.
She raised her hand, and her fingers fell uncontrollably, and her wrist was also a little out of control - this was the damage left by the space vibration just now.
But her smile remained, and even grew wider: "...very smart."
She said with some regret: "...I was also prepared to make you kneel down and beg me in front of the whole world - just like what I experienced in the Fifth World."
"You had the chance not to kneel down," Su Ming'an said.
If at that time, Mizushima Kawaharu could communicate with him on an equal footing and discuss the exchange of interests properly, instead of kneeling down and begging for mercy and offering to sacrifice herself, he would not have done that.
...Some people can't be brought back.
They themselves are accustomed to living on the edge of a cliff, and it has become their comfort zone.
He had no intention of reasoning with Mizushima Kawaharu.
Although Mizushima Kawaharu is stupid, she is not someone who cannot see the overall situation. She must know the importance of his position to mankind.
But she still chose to attack herself.
