I also know that you must complete some tasks, such as winning the Sea Feast, joining a certain organization, or hunting down a certain soul clan...
The princess said, you only treat us as mechanical gears, as something that can be used, as swords or guns in your hands, but you don’t regard us as independent living beings...
In fact, the same is true for Laken (the character played by Noel). Even though he was talking to me happily, I could see in his eyes that he was not treating an equal life.
...But Captain, you seem different. You saved Grandma Garde and me. When you talked to me, you also respected my ideals. It seemed that I had become a soul that you could communicate with on an equal footing. "
Su Mingan: "Because I always respect those who think independently and have firm ideals."
"...So I am a 'human'." Xie Lude suddenly laughed.
The sunlight poured into his eyes and he smiled very innocently.
"...I grew up in Praia and saw a lot of things. Many people have not become an independent 'person' since birth, and they don't see themselves as people.
"A symbol, a name, a mark engraved on a stone tablet. This is how the sacrificed soul hunters understood themselves. Like firewood and wood, they regarded themselves as a brick and stone of this land from the moment they fired their first shot.
“…Captain, I envy you guys.
“You don’t need to bear the deep hatred, you don’t need to carry out the ideals of generations, you don’t need to fight passively for the origins of history, and then die on the battlefield that is regarded as your destination.
"—because you are free.
"You can choose to take on the missions you want, you can freely choose who you want to contact, you have the power, the right to travel, you can refuse those burdens that make you uncomfortable.
“…But I can’t.
"Even though I know that my world may have been invaded, and my thoughts may be made up of purely mechanical elements, everything I say and do is just something written down on paper in a step-by-step manner. Even the mission I carry and the chivalry I uphold are things that exist for the so-called 'settings'.
“…I have never even had a life that belongs only to me, but from beginning to end it has only been to greet you.
"In the end, they see me as a character in the story, as a microcosm of the image of the 'Knight of Light' on this land, and as a 'victim' of the mission spirit.
"...or do you see me as a free spirit, someone who can communicate with you independently?
“The difference confuses me.
"Even now, I still don't know whether the reason that prompted me to say this was the so-called 'personality' and 'system' at work, or whether I have a brain that can organize these nonsense.
“Mission, spirit, affinity for light and talent, these are all innate.
"I am like a living being made up of everything that was given to me by nature. People say it is destiny."
His hands were placed on his chest.
"...and even now, I am still troubled by the emotions that stirred in my heart and the chivalry that I uphold."
"But everyone has a mission." Su Mingan said, "You and us."
"Free souls, do you also have a mission?"
"Yes." Su Mingan said, "Because you are also a free soul."
Sheridan laughed.
"Captain," he said, "Is there really no turning back?"
"..." Su Mingan said: "I will deliver your sister's gift."
The smile on Xie Lude's face dropped.
He turned and left.
He finally chose to go back and guard the princess to whom he once swore allegiance.
Perhaps he had saved Garde together with Su Ming'an, but he still couldn't get over this hurdle in the face of the knight's oath.
Maybe it's just human nature.
Maybe it's the setting that's causing the problem.
…
This is exactly why Su Mingan has been insisting.
——Because he was afraid,
If we fail to redeem Zhai Xing and save humanity from this hopeless game,
If the final wish is not fulfilled, if no one reaches the goal in the end,
So,
...Will all of them, including those who haven't even participated in the game, the remaining humans, become the second "Shelude"?
And the worlds he was experiencing now, which had become replica worlds, were they also...
…
"Are you done?"
A lively voice came from behind, and behind him, Naraku walked over with a slightly unsteady step.
The wrinkles on her face have completely disappeared, but her appearance is still bright and beautiful, with a beauty like a red rose.
She walked and stopped, her face turning pale.
Behind her, she carried a fiery red spear. Even though her spear skills were terrible, she had no intention of giving up the spear.
"What's wrong with your leg?" Su Mingan asked, watching her steps.
"Yeah, ah." Naraku looked up at the sky: "Anyway, it's not easy to walk. I'm tired."
"Go back to sleep if you're tired." Su Mingan started walking.
At the South District Pier, there is a group of guys who have taken the worst of human nature to the extreme, waiting for him to deal with.
He noticed that the channel chat was already in an uproar, with many captured players begging for help, and many "righteous people" saying they would go to the South District to rescue them.
