"I'm not like Lin Guang who would let people go. Now that you're here tonight, don't even think about leaving." Noah closed the door with a "click" sound and the door was locked.
"I just want to chat with you." Su Mingan said.
"chat?"
"That's right." Su Mingan smiled: "Talk to me for an hour."
"Okay." Noah said, "I want to hear what you want to say after flying all the way here. Humans can never defeat gods, you have to understand that."
When they sat down, Lu Shu poured tea for them. His movements were still the same as before, but his eyes had turned blood red.
“…Thank you.” Su Ming’an took the teacup handed to him by Lu Shu and tried to meet his gaze.
Lu Shu turned around without saying a word. In the past, when the two of them met, Lu Shu would basically not look away, but now he didn't even look at her.
"My new colleague is pretty good, isn't he? His tea-making skills are top-notch." Noah took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "By the way, what's your real name?"
"Real name?" Su Mingan raised his eyes.
"Not Asa Ak-To, not Lewis, I mean... you who come from another world, what's your name?" Noah said.
"How did you know that?" Su Mingan did not hide it.
"If Actor really came back, he would never come to talk to me. I broke up with him a long time ago - you are a visitor from another world." Noah said: "I have heard a lot of gossip these days. Some people say that people like you are called 'players'."
He tilted his head back and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, his eyebrows slightly tilted, his movements carefree and unrestrained.
It was clearly tea, but he tasted it like red wine, like a well-educated young master, not a warlord.
"Noah, since you know the existence of players, you should also know that you are an NPC. We usually call people like you 'awakened NPC'." Su Mingan said.
Noah listened and smiled.
"NPC or player, whatever you like." Noah said: "Whether it is a fictional or real person, I have lived to this day and have memories, so I am just Noah. I just want to live comfortably."
Noah raised his hand and pointed the empty cup at Su Mingan: "Guest, I want to know - your name?"
"I invaded Akto's body and replaced him. Aren't you angry?" Su Mingan said.
"A guest is a guest." Noah smiled carefreely, "Akto and I have broken up. We parted ways when he disagreed with my ideas. You possessing him is also an opportunity. Perhaps we can put aside the past and work together to create a new century."
Noah raised his hand, and Lu Shu beside him poured tea stiffly.
The blood-red tea flowed into the cup like flowing blood vessels. As Noah drank the tea, his lips became stained with bright red, as if he was tasting a cup of human blood.
...Su Mingan had never seen Lu Shu brew this kind of tea before.
Lu Shu said that the state of mind of a tea maker is similar to the tea. The calmer the state of mind, the clearer and longer the tea fragrance. He always brewed bitter tea with a strong tea fragrance for Su Mingan, without any smell of smoke, let alone blood.
Su Mingan stared into Lu Shu's eyes silently.
"I am always very polite to guests," Noah said. "I realized very early on that the defeat of mankind is inevitable. We must surrender to him. Otherwise, the endless internal fighting will lead to a nuclear war and mankind will be pushed back to the primitive age. If the world is in chaos, the residents will suffer."
"——So you chose to join him?" Su Mingan said.
"District 11 is very prosperous, isn't it, my guest?" Noah spread out his hands, his azure eyes bright. "Even if we choose to embrace his vision, we can still live well. At least we have left behind a legacy. In this way, perhaps in a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years... mankind may still have a chance to stand up again."
Su Mingan understood Noah's approach.
Noah chose to seek refuge with the gods in order to stop the internal fighting among humans and preserve the flames of humanity. Many years later, perhaps the remaining humans would be able to stand up and defeat him.
At that time, Noah will offer everything he has to the future of mankind.
How selfless, how great, how brave.
"I would like to form a team to fight against the gods. Would you like to join us?" Su Mingan asked.
"Now? You are not enough." Noah said: "Humans cannot compete with God. Your capital is not enough."
“…”
"Guest, you haven't told me your name yet," said Noah.
Su Mingan glanced at Lu Shu. He wanted to awaken Lu Shu's memory:
"My name is Lu Shu."
After he said this, he glanced at Lu Shu, who still had no reaction to the name.
"Yeah." Noah smiled and said, "My colleague who knows how to make tea is called Theodore. But, I think I heard you call him Lu Shu before?"
"..." Su Mingan directly changed the subject: "Noah, what do you want to do now?"
Noah put the cup of tea on the table.
"Since we are not yet capable of fighting against the gods, I must arrest you. Otherwise, everyone in District 11 will be wiped out as traitors." Noah said, "Besides, how can I hand over the future of mankind to an invader like you?"
"You just said that you wanted to work with me to create a new century," said Su Mingan.
"Ah, really?" Noah tilted his head, his smile a little cunning: "That's just to comfort you, afraid that you would run away, otherwise, how can the space barrier here be set up?"
Su Mingan stood up, and a cross of light suddenly flashed around him.
[The space barrier is rising, space displacement is disabled, duration (countdown): 1 minute 39 seconds, 1 minute 38 seconds...]
