"Actually." Lu Shu said.
His usually calm face rarely showed a smile, as if all the brilliance was spreading in his eyes.
"...I am a little sick, psychologically. I was like this before the game started. I have always known this, and many people have said so." Lu Shu said, "It is to cure the disease and find inner peace that I have persisted until now - this is why I want to stick to it. But it's strange that now that I have done these things, it seems that the disease has suddenly healed."
“Su Ming’an.” Lu Shu said, “For this world… we have already gone crazy. You are crazy, and I am crazy too. Madness is the theme of human beings. We cannot stop ourselves from going crazy…”
"This game teases us so much. As firewood, we can only fight against it... or rather, adapt to it." Lu Shu said: "But you are different. You are different from all of us. You are a torch."
"Su Ming'an." Lu Shu said: "I have been able to judge people very well since I was a child. I think... you have always been the most suitable for this world."
"You are, the best."
Su Mingan: “…”
"I actually heard what Noel said a few days ago. He said that I followed you for ulterior motives." Lu Shu said, "Now I will prove to you... I didn't, and never did."
"Okay." Su Mingan said, "You proved it."
The moment Su Mingan said this, the light in Lu Shu's eyes gradually dimmed.
He took a quick breath, and the black energy around him paused for a moment before rapidly spreading out.
Like ink melting into water, his body leaned back, his eyes still fixed firmly on Su Mingan.
…
[NPC (?) Favorability: 100 points (close friends)]
…
NPCs die and cannot be resurrected.
Su Mingan's emotions had never been so suppressed. It was as if a pair of hands reached out from his chest and violently tore his chest apart, leaving blood all over.
"Immortality." He activated the skill immediately.
As a red light flashed, Lu Shu did not rot and die immediately.
But once this skill is activated, it means that a person's life has come to an end.
If possible, it is best not to successfully activate this skill.
As Lu Shu fell, Su Mingan heard the system prompt:
[You defeated the black-robed man.]
【Castle Exploration Mission Completed.】
【You become the winner. 】
News of victory.
But it just made him feel irritated.
As the white light emerged, the remaining players all disappeared and they lost the qualifications to continue participating in the war.
Looking at the empty castle hall below, Su Mingan suddenly laughed.
“Ha, hahaha, hahahaha…”
He smiled in relief, helpless, and thankful. Emotions collided in his chest, like a heavy pressure on his heart.
He had no choice but to go this far.
He was glad that he still had room for recovery.
"...Then there is only one choice left." Su Mingan said.
"Lü Shu, I'm quite impressed." He said, "Become my 'Follower'."
Lu Shu's expression was slightly sluggish.
"To be honest," Su Ming'an said, "For the first time, I am glad that I have become a person in power."
…
[You activated the power holder skill: Follower.]
【(Lü Shu) agreed to your invitation. 】
…
Followers are different from observers. Their types are similar to those in power and supervisors, and they are people who can participate in the game.
Its essence still belongs to the players.
Becoming a follower and not occupying Su Mingan's teammate position means that from now on, Lu Shu does not have to bother anyone and can openly and forever become Su Mingan's most trusted teammate.
...But is this really what Lu Shu wants?
Su Mingan wasn't sure, but Lu Shu's expression seemed to tell him that it was.
He gave him the loyalty of a man who had never had faith.
Some people are very stubborn and inexplicable. They will never regret anything in their entire life and never look back.
Su Mingan didn't understand why someone as ordinary and selfish as himself could be liked by so many people, whether it was Naraku and Xie Lude whom he met by chance, or Yueyue and Lu Shu who he had been with for a long time.
But their lives are all dazzling at the moment they make the choice. The light and heat never leave them.
In a world full of disasters and sufferings, they are born because of a certain belief, die because of belief, exert their will because of belief, and find their way home because of belief.
On this road of no return,
Some people see the world as a way home,
Some see him as a way home.
…
“Su Ming’an.” Lu Shu coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his eyes were bright: “…That’s great.”
…
…
