"Humans are trapped in games. Their growth is based on the expansion of selfish desires, wealth, and power. Even for some large organizations, ordinary players are just bricks and tiles to build a new world structure, or cannon fodder in the game... But you are different, Su Mingan. I think you are capable of eliminating these disasters that have been dormant for a year, and you can take everyone home.
“I have always longed to be a valuable person, whether it is exploring the mysteries of the new world or helping those children... I hope I can be a sun to others.
“And you can rest behind the sun.
"You can do what I can't do, so leave the pressure and targeting to me."
At this moment, Noel's bright eyes seemed to be blessed by the sunlight, brewing vitality. His velvety golden hair blended naturally with the ginkgo leaves in the breeze, like flowing gold.
"I will reach out and lift you up high." Noel said something ambiguous: "Su Ming'an."
“…”
Su Mingan stretched out his hand and pinky-pinched with Noel.
A hot touch like a fire stick flashed across Su Mingan's little finger, and at that moment he mistakenly thought he was meeting the sun.
“What are you doing…” Lu felt vaguely strange.
The next moment, Lu suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!”
Several flashes of orange-red flames suddenly burst open, followed by a mushroom cloud that rose and expanded, setting off a natural disaster tsunami composed of high heat. Circles of spreading light waves pierced this side and rushed into this doomsday city in an instant.
The screams of the residents, the cries of the soldiers, the sounds of houses burning and collapsing... everything was engulfed in a scarlet scene, as if the fate of mankind had fallen into hell in an instant. All the buildings, vehicles... were shattered like quicksand, and endless fear surged in people's hearts.
"Why! Why did a nuclear explosion happen! Didn't the frontline army succeed? Could it be that the city lord's plan..."
“Mom—Mom—”
“…”
Fruits fell, baskets melted, women’s headscarves disappeared along with their scorched hair, and the fleeing children had dark black scars all over their bodies, their tiny bodies dissipating like candles in the wind…
The scene of the destruction of the century unfolded before their eyes.
“Swish!”
The golden barrier protected Lu, who was still trying to put up a desperate resistance. Su Mingan, Nuoer, and Lu Shu beside him did not move. They looked out the window, as if they had calmly accepted the nuclear explosion. The flames expanded outside the teahouse in an instant, and the golden ginkgo trees disappeared like a shattered shadow.
"How could a nuclear explosion happen - Su Mingan, Noel?" Lu was stunned. He had originally prepared to win without doing anything, but the nuclear explosion gave him a heavy blow.
Did he trust Su Mingan too much?
“…”
Su Mingan sat on a rattan chair, looking at the people dying in pain outside the window.
The clouds glowed with a blue-green light, and a creamy explosion was heard before his eyes. The entire city was disintegrated by the explosion... He watched as the city area he had planned with his own hands was overturned and destroyed bit by bit, and watched as the statue of Aktor in the center collapsed in the flames...
Let's end it here this time. Although I feel sorry for the people, the road, and Su Lin who is on the front line, they will all be resurrected next time. Next time, next time, let them live well, let them welcome a beautiful Fuyuan Festival... let them spend time with their families...
"Su Mingan, I finally see the happy expression on your face, but it disappears the next time." Noel said suddenly.
"Hmm?" Su Mingan touched his face and found that he seemed to be smiling.
He could clearly feel his curved lips and the upturned corners of his mouth. The upper part of his cheeks was bulging as his smile mobilized his facial muscles.
"But for next time, the next time, or...some time...I hope to see more and more smiles on your face, and more and more smiles on the faces of the children..." Noel's voice became softer and softer, and the flames burned his vocal cords.
His figure disappeared in the red, like a moth blending into the flames.
“Ding Dong!”
[Teammate (Noel) has died. 】
…
In the dazzling scarlet, Su Mingan seemed to be trapped in a sticky pool of blood, and a layer of light wrapped around him. In front of him to the left, the golden defense shield of the road began to disintegrate.
Lu listened to Noel's last words before he died, and suddenly understood everything.
"So that's how it is..." He said softly, his sea-blue hair blending into the scarlet, and the next moment, his figure disappeared in the brilliant flames.
“Ding Dong!”
【Teammate (Lu) has died. 】
…
The teahouse collapsed, making a sound like the friction of a saw. Lu Shu remained silent, not saying a word, until the flames of the nuclear explosion engulfed him.
In this dark brown teahouse that was about to collapse, only Su Mingan was left standing quietly.
He raised his hand and found a charred little finger bone still attached to his little finger. It was the hand that Noel had just linked with him. He pulled the broken little finger bone apart.
"——Su Mingan, what are you doing?" He suddenly heard a familiar voice.
In front of him, a figure wrapped in golden light flashed. Behind that person, golden energy like waves turned into a barrier to protect Su Mingan.
In an instant, neither fire nor nuclear radiation could threaten this area, and a vacuum zone was isolated.
"Su Lin, good morning." Su Ming'an waved.
"Have you lost your composure?" Su Lin asked, "How many pills did you take?"
"I didn't eat much." Su Mingan said.
Su Lin frowned. He was sure that Su Ming'an was definitely not normal at the moment. He was definitely not in a state of calm thinking, otherwise he would not be talking nonsense with him.
"...Forget it. Things are irreversible. I will take you away from here." Su Lin took a step forward, but was pushed away by the Lamb's Barrier.
As Su Lin was stunned, Su Ming'an's Annihilation pierced his temple. His body fell forward, hitting the broken bones of Noel and others, and was instantly engulfed by flames.
Seeing this scene, Su Lin suddenly understood what Su Mingan was doing:
"So that's the ability... But 'fighting to the death' and 'solving by death' are two different concepts..."
"You will lose your fear of death, Su Mingan..."
…
Week 34.
Su Mingan opened his eyes.
He pushed Lin Guang away, walked towards the glass window, and saw the magician who came every week.
…
[Su Mingan, next time you see me, call me by my full name, and I will understand.]
…
Su Mingan raised his head, as if he had handed over a heavy burden:
"Noor Akinni."
He called out Noel's full name, the first time he called him that.
