Perhaps at the beginning, he had felt the excitement of being the most capable "savior". But since when, the motivation that supported him to move forward had nothing to do with his own emotions.
His actions were no longer motivated by personal emotions, but gradually by responsibility.
——Ming once told him that this was a kind of "growth".
When did this "growth" begin?
Su Mingan thought carefully and suddenly found that his memory before the start of the world game had become blurred.
In his memory, he may have had many memories that he missed very much.
The hard work of studying in middle school and high school, the excitement of having my composition published in the newspaper for the first time, the relief of locking the piano in the room...
But thinking back now, these images suddenly seem like the memories of another person.
They floated in his mind but did not arouse any emotional resonance in him. It was like watching a movie full of other people's lives.
If the first player is becoming more and more qualified.
... Then maybe this is an exciting growth. In order to create a presence in the spotlight that a group needs, he is becoming more and more "competent".
He put aside these useless thoughts and took a step forward.
Seeing him approach, the people below went even crazier, holding up their glow sticks and torches, their eyes sparkling, like the enthusiastic audience sitting around a concert, or the devout believers waiting for the Pope to speak under the prayer stand.
Even though the shattered bodies of Carter and others were still lying on the ground and the smell of blood was lingering on the land, this group of people were jumping around beside the corpses as if they were having a party, their eyes fixed on Su Mingan, like a group of fans picking up a star at the airport.
Even though they themselves knew that standing in such a place might be dangerous, no one ran away or hid. Instead, they held up their glow sticks and waited there with an attitude of not giving up until they caught the person, as if "it's worth it even if they died."
Su Mingan didn't want to waste time on this group of people. This was just a bad case and he needed to collect clues quickly.
He wanted to move around this group of people and leave, but he found that the distance of spatial displacement was not enough. Even if he moved here, he could only move into this group of people. That was like a wolf walking into a tiger's mouth, and it would waste his time.
Now there was only an hour left, and he still had to visit two important places, the Central Library and the Royal City. If time was insufficient, he would even have to go back again...
For a moment, he even thought of killing all of them.
Su Mingan changed his state and raised his hand.
When people saw him raising his hand, the festive atmosphere was interrupted for a moment.
"…Why did the first player raise his hand?"
"I know! He was shaking my hand remotely, aaaaaaa——"
"Wait, this gesture looks familiar to me. How does it vibrate with space..."
White energy light gradually appeared in Su Mingan's hands.
His sight was completely focused on the crowd below that was blocking him. The crowd began to buzz, some people were still screaming in surprise, and some people had already started to retreat silently. They had already noticed that Su Mingan's attitude was not right.
A white cross light began to appear in Su Mingan's hands.
“Hula——”
A gust of wind suddenly blew past where he was standing, and for a moment almost blew him into the sea.
The pitch-black crow was like a skyscraper pressing down on the snow. The blond boy sat on the crow and looked at him seriously.
"Want to come up?" Noel asked.
He patted Inke's head, and the crow immediately descended to be level with the giant ship.
The sea breeze blew Su Mingan's black hair, and he took a deep breath.
He gathered the energy in his hand, climbed up the edge of the boat, and jumped onto the crow's back.
"Where are you going?" Noel turned around and asked him like a taxi driver.
"The Central Library." Su Mingan said.
"Well, okay, I've been to that place before." Noel whistled, and the crow immediately flew forward, passing through the crowded crowd.
Upon seeing this, Su Mingan realized how many people were gathered below. It was so densely packed that almost half of the participating players were gathered here.
If he had made his move just now...it might have caused a chain stampede.
Bright red fireworks exploded beside him, and Su Mingan looked at the young boy sitting in front of him.
"Su Ming'an." Noel spoke.
"Um?"
"Let me confirm whether your attitude towards me has changed fundamentally?"
"Yeah." Su Mingan nodded.
Noel laughed.
Even in this period of time when he had never experienced anything, he could still discover the information that Su Mingan already knew through his understanding of himself.
Moreover, this time the information exchange was completely encrypted, and even the organizers could not hear it.
As the number of rollbacks increases, the communication between them will only become smoother.
Su Mingan relies on his experience and experience.
...and Noel relied entirely on assumptions and guesses.
These are two people on different timelines, communicating information about different time periods through coded language.
"Just now, you really wanted to kill those people." Noel turned around.
"Yes." Su Mingan said.
"Don't start this." Noel said, "No matter what, you have to leave yourself a way out. Otherwise, if you fall into an irreversible situation, it will be terrible."
“…”
Su Mingan understood what the other party was saying.
In fact, he gradually realized the danger he was in.
...If he were to gain the ability to rewind time and possess abilities that are completely different from those of ordinary humans, his way of thinking would change irreversibly.
He would... subconsciously regard others as NPCs in the game save file, and would even kill them directly for the sole reason of "trying to see if the other party will die, since the other party will still be alive in the next file anyway."
Now, knowing that the organizers will not directly interfere with the game, he will become even more unscrupulous in the bad gear.
Because there is a chance to start over again.
...He became the only person walking on the edge of the long river of time.
As he walks on the multi-dimensional road, his way of thinking will inevitably become different from that of ordinary humans.
In the dimension of time, everything will become his chess piece.
Abandoning chess pieces, destroying chess pieces, capturing chess pieces, for the ultimate goal, he can do anything he can with these people who are destined to be traveled back in time.
Except for himself, no one else will have the memory of this recollection.
Humans are not purely rational animals; they will change, their ambitions will expand, and their original intentions will gradually be lost.
As a fellow traveler, Noel saw this easily.
Su Mingan looked at Noel in front of him.
His golden hair swayed slightly in the wind and snow, like a little shining sun.
"Here we are." Noel said with a smile.
The height of the crow gradually decreased, and the building of the Central Library became visible.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Su Ming'an asked.
"Looking at your current situation, I'd better hurry up and enjoy the food in Praia." Noel waved his hand: "Good luck."
