【Daytime Mechanical City·Inner City】
The sky wailed and the earth cracked, like a spectacular scene of the extinction of all living things.
The magenta glow seemed like sticky blood sinking into the sunset, surging with countless chaotic colors, reflecting the fighting and shouting of people on the broken glass.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
The sound of gunfire and artillery fire continued, the streets and alleys were filled with blood, and the war had entered a white-hot stage.
Countless soldiers passed by the corner of the wall, blood splattered, and their footsteps were loud and noisy.
Dingyue was injured and leaned against the ruins, gasping for breath.
"I believe in the leader, he will definitely kill Bai Xiong..." she said softly.
A player was helping her to heal: "If I were the first player, I would definitely win."
"Well, if it was him..." Dingyue thought of the young man playing the piano in broad daylight. It was hard to imagine what kind of astonishment she saw at that time.
The powerful, wise and charismatic leader played clear music at the piano, and the music soothed everyone's heart.
If only that moment could be frozen, it would be as if an invisible god waved his hand in the air. The leader's eyes appeared clear and gentle, and his heart seemed to encompass everything in the world.
She trusted him, respected him, and even... believed in him.
He is like a god who leads everyone in their struggle for freedom.
"If it's him." Dingyue stared at the flames of war outside the wall, "We will definitely win. On that day, the children won't have to worry about anything. They can write, read, play the piano, and see the blue sky and white clouds..."
…She believed he was God.
…
Suburbs.
The rain keeps falling.
It was dark and the road ahead was almost invisible. The residents shouted and tried to stop Su Mingan.
"Go!" Su Mingan threw Elisa high up into the air and into the distance.
The white light in the space lit up, and he activated the space displacement. When he reappeared, he was already dozens of meters away. He caught the falling Elisa and rushed out of the encirclement of the residents.
Her body was light and her bones seemed strong.
The sounds of anger and wailing behind him were getting farther and farther away. Su Mingan carried Alyssa on his back and rushed out in the pouring rain.
The rebel army is attacking the inner city. All he has to do is kill Bai Xiong and stop the operation of the mechanical army - he is the most critical person in the war.
He rushed through the rain and headed for the wilderness. The surrounding scene became more and more desolate, with only fallen weeds, broken bricks and tiles, and desolate ruins of buildings.
The barrage continues to surge:
[Too dangerous! Too dangerous! ]
[It turns out that the dungeon can be so exciting. This is a big war. Will there be wars involving hundreds of thousands of people in the future? ]
[I want to watch Western fantasy, I want to watch the Pope King, the Dragon Princess, the Demon King and the Warrior, Atlantis and the Sirens, woo woo woo...]
[These residents are rotten to the core. Why would they kill even the people who saved them? ]
[Alas...different times, different worldviews.]
[The first player's condition seems to be very bad... Can he really make it to the end? ]
[He is just a student. Sooner or later, someone will replace him. The real boss has not shown his power yet! ]
【……】
Su Ming'an heard the upgrade prompt to level nine. It should be that Ming had gained enough experience and upgraded.
“Cough… cough cough…”
As he was running, he actually started coughing.
The pollution in his body became more and more serious, which was related to his fatigue. In the past few days, he discussed the war route with Vincent and others and only slept for eight or nine hours in total.
"Go forward... Bai Xiong should be over there." Alyssa said, "I remember there is an abandoned church over there. It's the only place that can be repaired."
The night is thick but lingering.
Elisa tugged at his cloak, and the deformed fabric made a slight friction sound. She lay on top of him, and the skin of her hands became paler, like frost climbing up the rocks in winter.
She whispered, “If you kill Bai Xiong, you will become the leader of the White City.”
"I know." Su Mingan said.
"I think..." Alisa said.
She didn't finish her words, but just stopped here.
They stumbled towards the outside world, and Bai Xiong left footprints in the mud as he fled.
What Alisa actually wanted to say was—
She felt that
Su Mingan always watched everyone's actions as a bystander. It seemed that all human beings were just puppets that could move in his eyes.
Although he showed full respect and equality, his bystander-like attitude was very worrying.
It's like... a god.
A god who participates in it but never indulges in it, and is so calm that he seems to have nothing to do with the world.
…
Is he God?
…
The rain came down in torrents.
The night was dark and the cold rain was like an icy sword, piercing into people's bodies.
Su Mingan carried Elisa on his back and walked in the muddy suburbs, and the temperature around them dropped little by little.
His breathing became heavy, and it felt like a thousand-pound iron was tied to his body. Even though he was the number one player, he was just a human body, and he was not strong enough to ignore the cold and heat.
…It’s so cold.
It's too cold.
Eliza stretched out her hands and put them around his cold neck. She stretched out her arms and leaned her head forward, as if trying to shield him from the overwhelming rain.
She hummed a little tune to help him stay awake.
This was a song she had specially learned from the players in the past few days. She had intended to sing it at the resistance's victory dinner in the future, but she didn't expect to use it here.
"A witch happened to wander around the castle~
