Interlude "After shaking hands with Noel (Part 2)"



"Little Su Ming'an" is wearing a high school uniform, as if standing on the other side, looking at Su Ming'an.

"Are you my future self?"

"……Um."

"How will my future self be?"

Su Mingan thought for a moment and said, "You still save people like before. You have saved many good people who are grateful, and you have also saved many bad people who are ungrateful."

"The fire in your heart burned you and made you feel extremely painful, but even so, it still burned and did not stop."

“You regretted it, but in the end you didn’t regret it.”

"You have reached an ending that is not perfect, but also very good. But there is still a little regret in your heart."

"But, this is good, this is also very good."

After listening, the boy nodded slightly.

Su Ming'an looked around and found that Wuyi was gone. In the pale void, only he and Xiao Ming'an were left.

A system interface appears:

[Please complete the task "Let 'Xiao Ming'an' become 'Su Ming'an']

[Task content: Please follow the journey you have taken in this life and let Xiao Mingan walk the same path and witness his ending. Finally, ask him a question:]

[“——Do you accept this ending?”]

What kind of mission is this?

Su Mingan frowned, and the boy looked at him calmly.

"Well, it seems that it won't end until the mission is completed..." Su Ming'an sighed.

The training has begun.

Time passed quickly in Su Mingan's perception, just like spending a thousand years in the tenth world. In the blink of an eye, little Mingan grew taller, and in the picture, he entered university.

A month later, a turning point in my life occurred.

The world game began. When Xiao Ming'an walked towards the third floor of the Central Hospital, Su Ming'an hesitated for a moment. As if by telepathy, Xiao Ming'an did not go up to the third floor.

Afterwards, Aini took the lead in achieving a perfect clearance.

[If the training fails, please start over. 】

Xiao Ming'an disappeared, and a new Xiao Ming'an walked out of the screen, looking at Su Ming'an calmly.

Su Mingan was silent for a while and started to cultivate again.

However, because of Su Ming'an's momentary hesitation or soft-heartedness, Xiao Ming'an would always go in the wrong direction. If he deviated an inch, Xiao Ming'an would disappear.

Until Xiao Ming'an finally reached the eve of the eleventh world, he sat on the bed, raised his head slightly, and looked in the direction of Su Ming'an.

"...I can't hold on any longer." Xiao Ming'an said, "Do I have to follow your pace?"

Su Mingan was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Yes." If you don't follow my pace, you will disappear.

Xiao Mingan was silent for a while and nodded.

He picked up a crystal piano, which was one of the few things that deviated from Su Mingan. There was no crystal piano in Su Mingan's personal space, but Xiao Mingan bought one for himself.

He looked at the crystal piano quietly and kissed it gently.

At the end of the eleventh copy, Xiao Mingan stood under the World Tree.

Facing Noel's scythe, he closed his eyes, made no defense, and was about to stab to the right -

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and shed two lines of tears:

"I don't want to... I don't want to die, I don't want to be a tree..."

"clang!"

His sword blade blocked Noel's scythe.

Under Su Ming'an's shocked gaze, Xiao Ming'an attacked with all his strength. At the cost of being seriously injured, he used emotional resonance to pierce Noel's body with the sword of words.

In the silent white torrent, Xiao Mingan looked in the direction of Su Mingan and smiled with tears in his eyes:

"You don't want to die, do you?"

"You resist this ending that you can see at a glance."

"In that case, 'Farmer', why do you force me to go to the end of this story..."

His figure gradually disappeared.

The new little Ming'an appeared and looked at Su Ming'an calmly.

Su Mingan just stood there quietly.

"Got it now." Wu Yi appeared at this moment: "This is the arrogance of the 'farmer'."

"What just happened seems to be a memory, but it is actually a blank simulation of a person who is experiencing everything you have experienced. This is what we usually call - 'implanted character'."

Su Mingan said slowly: "And at this moment, we are just 'farmers' and 'turkeys' compared to him."

"That's right." Wu Yi said, "You can guide the direction of his life, you can change his future, you are the 'farmer'."

“Have you ever heard of IF lines?”

"For example, in the IF line where the world game did not come, what would you be like? A powerless, ordinary person who couldn't even save the homeless man under the bridge."

“But in IF, where the world game comes, you can shine with a brilliance that shakes the whole world and even the universe.”

"Sometimes, the 'farmer' can only watch the 'turkey' that should have been brilliant, but can only move towards mediocrity. For example, a child who could have won the Nobel Prize ended up marrying and having children in the mountains because of a lack of innate education. A child who could have solved the world's problems had his brain damaged by a truck when he was young."

"So, the IF line has endless possibilities. You can become a world tree, you can sink into dreams..."

"But aren't these endings still IF lines?"

“As long as it is ‘observed’, it is always an IF line, not true freedom.”

"We are to these kids what the farmers are to the turkeys. And the awakens are to us what the farmers are to the turkeys."
