Su Mingan walked on the street, observing the changes in Doomsday City in recent years.
He glanced at the bullet screen:
[By the way, does anyone know where Edward is going? Why hasn't he appeared since his return? ]
[I have been reading the United Group forum posts, and no one has revealed his location...]
[Recently, a person with red eyes appeared in the Lord God World. Some people said that he was cosplaying the Ninth World and was wearing red contact lenses. I felt something was wrong...]
【……】
He withdrew his gaze. The Lord God's world today was also full of crises, whether it was Nor's authority or Edward's situation... After his return, there was another storm.
The world game is becoming more and more wrong, and has lost the stability it had in the early days. It seems that there are many hidden things that are gradually getting out of control.
Most of the residents on the street had bloodshot eyes. Some kept muttering the name "Asa Akto" and holding red-covered books, like devout believers of the city lord. Some looked coldly in the direction of the inner city, believing that a demon lived there.
The public's attitudes were divided into two extremes. One still worshipped Akto as a god, while the other regarded Akto as a lackey of [Taiwei].
"Traitor!" "Running dog!" "Liar!"
From time to time, there are some such sounds coming into Su Mingan's ears.
There were some protesters on the street, holding signs that read "If we refuse to use other resources, humans will die!" and walking from one end of the street to the other.
An old man howled wildly before being taken to the dungeon, his hand reaching high towards the golden edge of the building, as if he could touch the city lord.
"——City Lord! You from the Dawn War period——Please, come back!"
"Please... come back..."
Su Mingan walked among them silently.
The people's thoughts were complicated and contradictory, as if a sharp knife had split their camp. Some people wanted to curse the city lord with all kinds of dirty words. Some people were still grateful and regarded the city lord as a god.
Suddenly, an unconscious man in the corner grabbed Su Mingan's arm and kept muttering like a madman:
"Please protect this world... You are our God..."
Su Mingan frowned, thinking that the man had discovered his identity.
However, five seconds later he realized that the man was just unconscious, so he grabbed a passerby and imagined the passerby to be the gentle and rational Asa Akto.
The man didn't realize that he had arrested the real person.
"Please... continue to protect us..." The man murmured incoherently: "Please, show mercy to ordinary people like us..."
"..."Su Mingan said: "...I understand."
The man didn't realize who he had caught. He just stared blankly at the distant sky and hummed a somewhat familiar tune.
Su Mingan listened carefully and found that it was the piano piece he had played at the dinner party.
…It’s been so long already.
...but people still remember it.
Su Mingan removed the man's hand. The Ginkgo Tree Teahouse was still open, and he walked into the teahouse quietly. The teahouse was still bustling, and many people sat there drinking tea with tired expressions.
"...Is the Great Purge going to start again these days?" People whispered:
"Last time, more than a hundred people were arrested. How many more will there be this time..."
"An army called 'New Beacon' has appeared outside the city, and they want to overthrow Doomsday City. I want to go and ask around."
"It seems that this Actor is indeed a monster who has returned from the dead. He is so eager to serve him as a dog..."
"Hevi's lackey, a monster, a devil, a demon who has mastered the power of God... Is he really a bionic body? Is it because his immortal life needs human vitality to maintain..."
People used all kinds of extremely unpleasant words to point at Asa Akto. Su Mingan frowned and listened, and suddenly heard a "bang!"
A wooden table was smashed into pieces, and a black-haired girl wearing a fox mask stood up with her eyes red.
"——Enough!" She yelled, and the teahouse fell silent in an instant.
People looked at her in confusion as she suddenly became angry.
The black-haired girl's eyes were red as she screamed:
"—He's not a monster! Not a lackey! Not a demon!"
"——He is not an immortal monster. He feels pain and can get hurt! He will not absorb the life force of others, nor will he kill anyone for sacrifice!"
"——He used to be very gentle. He could sing, play the piano, work all night until he collapsed on the table, and try his best to save every one of his companions..."
"He's just...he's just..."
Her voice trembled and her shoulders shrugged slightly:
"He's just too tired..."
Su Mingan's eyes moved slightly.
People listened to her defense. A man sneered, "What are you talking about? Are you defending him? Defending the increasingly ridiculous CEO of Hewei?"
"——In order to keep humans alive, is there anything wrong with the city lord becoming the [Executive Officer of Hewei]?" The black-haired girl gritted her teeth: "Perhaps, perhaps his methods in the past six years have been too harsh, and the brainwashing and purges are indeed meaningless. But why do you insist on him being perfect? No one can be perfect. He dragged us from the 32nd year of the Cataclysm to the 71st year of the Cataclysm, and now he is just a little lost..."
She was extremely eager to clear Asa Akto's name, facing everyone's cold eyes and spit, like an ant trying to resist the waves.
"I believe..." she said in a trembling voice, "He will definitely wake up..."
