"We are the two strongest players in the world right now. If we work together, we will definitely be much stronger than if we fight alone."
Noel was silent.
"Secondly." Su Mingan pointed to the rectangular building block in the middle:
"You have the [New World] Guild, and so many people support you. And I have the favor of the fifth and eleventh seats of the organizer. I can help you contact the more benevolent higher dimensions."
Then, Su Mingan pointed to the triangular building block at the top:
"Third, public opinion is advantageous. Now people are supporting the top players, and public opinion can be used."
Su Mingan withdrew his hand and looked at Noel:
"Fourth, you and I both have special identities. My identity is [The One in Power]. Maybe the World Game favors me, and this can help you."
Noel remained silent.
But his fingers were shaking, and the castle of blocks in his palms was trembling.
This scene...what a familiar scene.
…
[“Work with me, Player One.” From the grid of the Ferris wheel, Noel took out a pile of colorful building blocks, which looked like the building blocks that children love to play with.
Noel placed a square building block on the table and looked at Su Mingan.
"First of all," Noel said, "we are the two strongest players in the world right now. If we work together, we will definitely be much stronger than if we fight alone."
Su Mingan nodded.
"Secondly." Noel took out a rectangular building block and placed it on the square: "I own the [New World] Guild..."
Next came the triangular building block, which Noel placed on top of the rectangle. "Third, the advantage of public opinion..."]
…
Why.
As to why things have come to this, the answer is extremely clear, yet also extremely confusing.
“Crash!”
The building block castle was suddenly overturned to the ground.
At this moment, Noel overturned the building block castle in his palm.
Triangles, rectangles, squares...cracking and falling piece by piece.
The brim of the hat was raised, revealing blue eyes. The reflected shadow fell into their eyes, and Su Mingan saw pieces of falling birds in Noel's eyes.
A red bird in a triangle, a yellow bird in a rectangle, a blue bird in a square...
——Falling in front of his blue eyes.
The blond boy stepped forward and grabbed Su Mingan by the collar, with veins on his palms exposed.
"——What are you talking about?" Noel still had a bright smile on his face, as if it was glued to his face. He clutched his collar tightly:
"Are you awakening my past memories in order to impress me?"
"What if I'm tired of a world where you're the hero?"
"What if I have to go to the universe to find an answer?"
"If you say——"
…
“What if – I must end the cycle of BE3030!!!!??”
…
If so, what does this number really represent? ? ? If you stay here forever, can you escape from this quagmire! ? ?
Noel's roar caused the black water to surge continuously.
The swimming fish cast starlight, and the whales let out long, high roars.
"Gao——"
With a long cry, all the books shook.
Su Mingan was panting, and suddenly burst into laughter:
“Haha…hahahaha…!!”
"You're still exposed. You can't fool... you can't fool me... you can't even fool yourself... you... you love us... ha, ha ha ha ha——!"
At this moment, a flash of sadness appeared in his eyes.
It felt like a tiny knife was scraping across my heart, and my whole body was aching.
It seems that everyone's survival rate depends on the efforts of the first player. Their happiness, their ending... all depend on him to create it personally, and rely on him to go far away and find a fleeting spark.
But at this moment, looking at Noel's flickering eyes, Su Mingan once again understood the definite answer -
So, that's how it is.
——He is not the only one who needs this kind of dependence the most.
The "star" with a diameter of one kilometer still turned to human nature, just like countless clichéd stories told by planetarium staff - the adventurer eventually went against his childhood ideas.
The soul that is stuck at the age of fourteen puts on adult clothes, wears an adult hat, and tries to live like an adult.
The clothes were too big, so he had to stuff a lot of cotton into them to make himself look like a strong man.
Because he is not tall enough, he has to wear high-padded shoes so that he can look at adults at eye level.
So when he was in pain and about to leave - he had to pile up a lot of smiles to make his eyes so calm.
He lost, he lost the bet he made - Su Mingan did not overturn his building block castle, he overturned his own building block castle.
But he didn't have any strawberry cake, and he was no longer holding any chocolate.
"...I still can't convince you?" After laughing, Su Ming'an looked at the broken building block castle and knew the definite answer.
Noel slowly let go of his hand, and after a brief silence, he returned to his calm smile: “Yeah.”
He stuffed the "cotton" into his face again, and his eyes were like a silent galaxy.
"Okay, then." Su Ming'an stopped his last attempt.
That was enough, Noel had expressed his complete determination in his roar.
So, it would be a bit awkward to continue talking about it.
He wasn't one to cling to an anchor... at least, he didn't think so.
After a long and silent tug of war, he regained his composure and nodded.
"So."
The rough stone in my heart rolled to the ground at this moment, causing a sharp pain.
With a plop.
When he spoke again, his voice trembled slightly:
…
"——That's it, Noel. From now on, we are no longer companions."
…
He must have looked lonely for a moment.
Otherwise, why did those blue eyes reveal a similar moment of grief?
…
…
Lately, Noel has been having dreams about the past.
He dreamed that he was building blocks over and over again in that narrow Ferris wheel compartment.
Build it and then tear it down, build it and then tear it down.
Crash, crash.
Brilliant New Year's fireworks were blooming outside the window, and there was no one opposite him.
Later he looked at the empty seats and discovered.
…
——From the beginning, his guests sat opposite him, not beside him.
