[Doomsday City·Wartime Command Hall·Side Room]
Yueyue looked at herself in the mirror and buttoned up her combat uniform.
"Enemy forces appear at 35 degrees east-southeast, requesting help from the Guard Department." A very fast voice sounded in her right earphone.
Yueyue responded immediately: "The security department will arrive within an hour."
The next moment, another "click" sounded in her left earphone: "32 degrees west by south, the 2,000-man Originium search team was attacked by a wave of alien beasts and may be wiped out. Requesting help from the Inner City Guard."
Yueyue put her hand on the headset.
She closed her eyes and remained silent for five seconds before speaking.
"Give up," she said.
There was silence on the other end for a while before the call was hung up with a click. There was no call for help, nor any reprimand.
Soon, the communication channel went dark.
Yueyue glanced past the hundreds of humming computers in the room, and hundreds of people wearing different military ranks walked past her.
The end of the world is imminent, and everyone is like a gear running at high speed, and everyone is a drop of water in a great river. The hundreds of thousands of people evacuating from cities are like blood flowing in veins, jointly nourishing the beating heart of "human civilization".
People carried guns on their backs, the city was filled with icy white and azure light, millions of soldiers and civilians moved between the inner and outer city areas, and the lights were brilliant at night, shining like glass lamps.
——This scene that Yueyue saw from high above makes people feel that human beings are as small as ants, but they are also great enough to support huge rocks that are several times their own weight.
The night breeze blew her black hair as she climbed into the truck.
Hundreds of soldiers were crowded on a modified manned truck. Her brother Che was sitting in the driver's seat, waving at her.
The truck started, and Yueyue watched the scenery outside the window rapidly receding. She deeply realized that from the ninth world onwards, everything was different.
In previous copies, there was a situation where one person dominated the world. However, in this world, if there were no millions of soldiers and civilians on the battlefield, and if there were no experts and scholars who stayed up all night in the laboratory, even Su Mingan would not be able to reverse the situation.
If Noah, Sen, the sacrificed Xia Sheng and Luna were missing... the situation would become uncontrollable.
As early as the return dinner, she noticed Su Ming'an's transformation. He became more and more like the city lord Actor himself. He was gradually blending into the role he played, which was something he had to do in every copy.
——He must spend decades of this world in just a few days and uncover the world's deepest secrets.
——She had lived for twenty-three years without discovering the secret of the world, but he only had a dozen days to figure it out.
His understanding of Dongxue, his friendship with Shelude and Naraku, his empathy for Siber... He must discover secrets through constant communication with NPCs, and this kind of emotion is expendable. Wouldn't he become more and more indifferent?
——And in this ninth world, who will he empathize with?
She and Che Celstia were siblings, and they had lived together for 23 years before they developed a deep bond. However, Su Mingan had developed a deeper alliance than siblings by just chatting with Che a few times. Sometimes, she even saw Che shouting "Lovis" at the portrait of the city lord, and then standing in front of the painting blankly for a whole night.
——How can Su Mingan control such rich and intense emotions?
The crazy love from Tretia, the twisted feelings from Lin Guang, the eager expectations from Xia Sheng, the sacrifice of Luna...
All these emotions from so many people—how could he possibly bear it?
Where is his "self"?
Yueyue gradually realized that he seemed to be fanatically pursuing something - why was he living for?
Maybe it was some things, maybe it was some people. But the answer was definitely not "himself".
A kind player once showed Yueyue the game forum, and many people liked to take screenshots and photos of Su Mingan. However, she found that these images of Su Mingan might be the image of Su Lin comforting the heroic spirits before the siren attacked the city, or the image of Yang Xia wearing a hospital gown in Baisha Paradise, or the image of the high-looking Qinwang with silver hair and golden eyes in Minghui, or the face of the current Lord of Akto with black hair and gray eyes - but she rarely saw his own appearance.
She could hardly see his original face, his appearance as a nineteen-year-old student.
A copy is a mask, and she gradually loses sight of him.
"Ms. Celstia, you are expected to arrive at the battlefield in half an hour." The voice of the Intelligence Department came.
"I understand." Yueyue stopped thinking. At least until he ended the war, she would guard this most dazzling city of mankind for him.
Success doesn't have to be hers.
But she must be part of the success.
…
"Look at your fireworks!" Yamada Machiichi, who was taught by Lu Shu, cursed and slashed forward with the blade without mercy.
Noel kept smiling as dozens of people walked out behind him. They were all players from the God camp who stayed in the City of God. They included Tamer Violet, Measurer Chrissie, Clue Insight Locke, Tai Chi Master Wu Yu, Rose Heavy Artillery Hou Li... They blocked the entrance like a city wall.
"The Peak Alliance actually started fighting among themselves, and Luna died. I think your world is about to end and fall apart." Player Doris laughed so hard that her body shook.
Yamada Machichi grimaced.
The next moment, there was a loud bang!
“Buzz——!”
The boiling air vibrated violently, and the body of the player in front was torn into pieces in an instant, and bright red blood spilled all over the ground.
Su Ming'an had no expression on his face and put his hands down. Even though most of his body was paralyzed, his hands were enough to kill these people in seconds.
“Ahhhhh——!” Several players fell to the ground and screamed. Many of them were forced here by Noel and did not want to face Su Mingan directly.
