"Player".
Su Mingan was in the cabinet and heard the princess say this word herself.
He felt a little confused.
In different world copies, NPCs have different attitudes towards players.
Some would know that these "outsiders" were players, and even regard them as invaders, while some NPCs seemed to have turned on an automatic shielding system and were not surprised by this.
As for the reasons why these NPCs behave differently... Su Mingan is more inclined to believe that beings like the princess are NPCs who have awakened their self-awareness.
They are special enough to realize that their world is not real.
"This, this I know all." The man spilled out all the stories about the players, "This is it, our hometown was occupied by a group of higher-dimensional creatures, they forced us to become 'players', and made us come to your world to complete tasks... But we didn't do it on purpose, we were just forced..."
The man spoke for a long time, including the initial opening ceremony, and then talked about the current copy. After he finished speaking, there was a long-unseen silence.
"You mean," the princess suddenly said, "our world is just an amusement park?"
"No!" The man immediately denied: "We were also forced..."
"——A sword in someone else's hand is no longer a sword, is it?" The princess sneered, "Invaders, my kingdom does not need you to step into it, and my hometown does not need you to save it. Survival or destruction, that will be our fate. I am the only heir to the royal family, and I declare to you that this land——will never need you."
“Bang!”
Su Mingan heard a dull sound.
The man who was still begging for mercy completely lost his voice.
"Shelude, did you hear that? He said we are just the issuers of tasks and we don't have independent consciousness." said the princess.
Xie Lude's voice followed: "Princess, you don't have to believe their crazy words."
"Really?" The princess said, "Well, after all, it's only two days away from closing the net..."
"What did you say? What do you mean by closing the net?" Xie Lude asked in confusion.
"..." The princess suddenly paused.
"Xie Lude, you are the knight with the best life affinity in decades. I trust you, so I brought you to my private laboratory. If you are willing, I can turn you into a being like me - I can let you have eternal life like me."
"Feel sorry."
Faced with the temptation of eternal life, Xie Lude flatly refused: "You are the only heir, you need eternal life, but I will not enjoy such a gift. I would rather grow old, get sick and die, and stay by the side of the king's city for the rest of my life. I beg you to allow me."
"Do you know what it means to reject me? I have brought you here. Do you think I will let you go safely?" the princess said coldly.
Hearing her threat, Sheldon knelt down calmly.
"Princess, if you want to keep this secret forever - then as a knight of the royal city, I am willing to die for your orders."
The princess was stunned.
A look of confusion came over her face.
She found it hard to understand someone who could die for "chivalry".
"I don't know..." the princess said softly, "Is your loyalty to me driven by your great chivalry and self-awareness, or is it the 'character creation' of the organizers that the players mentioned at work?"
Sheldon did not waver.
His voice remained steady, never mixed with his personal emotions of desire:
"At least now, all I can see with my eyes is that the person standing in front of me is Princess Tulip of the Praia Royal Family, the person I swore allegiance to with the Knight's Code."
The princess sighed.
She didn't continue the topic and didn't want Sheldon to die.
The iron chains jingled, the cage doors opened, and the unconscious people inside were dragged out by her.
"Princess, Princess, please let us go. I am really just a good citizen of Praya." Someone began to beg for mercy.
"No." The princess' voice was cold and indifferent: "You are not the people I love. You are just an alien invader, a player."
"How do you know the players?" a female player asked in shock.
"This should be a dungeon setting. This princess should be an NPC who can detect the existence of players." A fat player next to him whispered.
His voice was soft, but Princess Tulip had sharp ears and her sharp eyes quickly swept over him.
The fat player met her gaze and immediately trembled with fear.
"Instance settings." Her voice was filled with laughter. "Everything is instance settings - then can I say that you guys who think you are 'players' are also driven by the so-called 'player' settings?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
A red-haired woman shouted, "Everyone hurry up! We can seize this opportunity to catch her and escape!"
Before this, several players had been sucked away by the transparent souls behind her and turned into a group of extremely old guys, as if they had lost their souls.
With the experience of the Sixth World, they absolutely cannot be "alienated" here.
Either commit suicide and return immediately, or kill the NPC in front of you and escape!
Light waves appeared on some people's bodies, bloody marks appeared on some people's hands, and even a black and white Bagua formation appeared under some people's feet.
The princess just stood there quietly, and the young knight of light stood up and stood in front of her with a sword.
Looking at the players rushing over, she laughed softly.
