"They said that you are always ranked first, your route to clear the game is always the most perfect, and you will use props, tasks, and NPCs to the utmost, never leaving any room for error."
"They say that 'Player One' should lead them and should be their leader."
"Logically, this shouldn't be the case. The captain shouldn't be responsible for these people. The captain can make mistakes and sometimes he isn't the strongest."
"But, as far as I know, you, the captain, have always done this. You have always remained the strongest and have never let these people down. Even if you have been reviled and misunderstood, you have never given up and decided to leave this position."
"You, of course, stood at the forefront of the war, and of course, became the commander of the battle. It was so natural, as if it was destined, that you gave a speech as a leader in front of everyone."
"team leader."
"——You are also bound by the system setting called 'First Player'."
Su Mingan's pupils shrank slightly.
The wind and snow hit his face, making it icy cold.
"But what does it matter? We all know, Captain, you are a human being. Not an NPC." Xie Lude smiled.
The wind blew his golden hair, and his voice became more and more firm.
"Just like the speech before the cross-sea operation, Captain, I can hear the emotions in your words. You are not completely calm, and you are not just saying those words to 'attack' us.
...While trying to impress us, you are also being infected by the 'love' you speak of.
- So, can I conclude that this restraint is not composed of purely mechanical elements, but also a decision made by your own thinking as a human being? - Then."
The setting sun shone on his shoulders, blood-red fell on his eyelashes, and his smile was like a gorgeous flower blooming.
"...As a 'human' like you, I am willing to be bound by the system settings of 'Knight of Light'."
"I am a human being. I am... I cannot sit back and watch so many residents die in my place, human being."
"I am a 'person' set up as a 'Knight of Light'. I am an independent life that can think for itself, and I am a life that is willing to be a miniature of the image of a 'Knight of Light'."
"I am a character in the story, a microcosm of the image of the 'Knight of Light' on this land, and a 'victim' of the mission spirit."
"...I am also a free soul, one who can communicate with you independently."
"What prompted me to say this is - the so-called 'personality' and 'system' at work, and also because I have a brain that can organize these words."
“My mission, my spirit, my affinity for light, my talent, these are all things I was born with.
"I am like a living being made up of everything that was given to me by nature. People say it is destiny."
"I bear this, I accept this, I think about this."
"I am willing - and even now, I am still troubled by the emotions that stir in my heart - and the chivalry I uphold."
"If someone must die for the greater good."
"——I am willing to be this 'Yongzhi'."
"Captain, this is the result of my careful consideration and proper decision."
Su Mingan stared at him.
The snowstorm gradually subsided, like a thin layer of fog, stretching between them.
The other person's eyes, which had been firm from beginning to end, were now full of light, reminding people of shells reflecting sunlight on the beach.
Sheridan turned around.
He walked down the stairs step by step, very quickly, and then stuffed the blue jar in his hand into Su Mingan's hand.
He knelt down.
With his blood-red cloak dragging behind him, he lowered his head and knelt in front of Su Ming'an in an extremely humble and pleading posture.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I failed you. I...can't go to eat barbecue with you anymore." He said softly, "...please, please help me."
Su Mingan sighed softly.
"Have you thought about it?" He said, "What you saved might just be a group of NPCs controlled by the system. They are completely different from you, the precious one."
"No. I have gradually understood... In fact, there is no difference between me and them." Xie Lude said softly: "Whether they think for themselves or are controlled, they are all living beings... Just like my sister Changying. All of them are just like me. They can cry, laugh, get hurt and feel pain, be killed and die, and have their own thoughts and beliefs. I... can't sit idly by and watch so many of them die for me."
Chivalry.
It's the so-called chivalry.
It created a Knight of Light who was extremely upright and humble, gave him space for self-reflection, and made him willingly walk along the predetermined path.
But at this time,
It is no longer possible to define the "destiny" of such an ending.
"Lemon, TV, chocolate." Su Ming'an asked: "If you don't care about them and only think about yourself...are you unwilling to go with me to see a world without war?"
Sheridan smiled.
"Captain," he said, "A world without war could also be here."
