The sound was like a broken gong, as shrill as the cry of blood.

"Ahh——"

"ah……"

…

It was like he was watching a silent movie with no meaning. One thing kept happening, but he had stopped thinking because of alienation.

It's just that these images are constantly pouring through his numb eyes and into his brain that has paused to think, and are engraved in his memory.

Like a puppet being manipulated, his thoughts were hazy for a long time, and he almost forgot who he was.

He only vaguely remembered that during this period, there seemed to be a figure with a mantis on its shoulders, rushing toward him, and then being engulfed in blood.

And he just watched.

Already alienated, he just opened his eyes and watched desperately, numbly, and unable to move.

Beside him, someone whispered:

"……it's over."

And he could only remain silent.

Outside the live broadcast room, the audience watched this scene in despair. They believed that the number one player would never be able to return to the previous number one player.

The first player has become the puppet of the NPC.

He permanently lost his mind in the dungeon, he was alienated, and he stopped at the pinnacle of competition in the eighth world. This was a sad ending.

And Noel, the only one who knows how to break the situation, has been killed by the tentacles early, and can no longer help him go back and change everything.

…

An hour after Su Mingan lost consciousness, a broken white fragment suddenly began to twist in his heart.

It closed and spliced ​​together, and within a few seconds, as if time had been reversed, it gradually turned into a pure white square solid.

"Adventurer, look, our world is very sad."

In front of him, the white-haired woman who controlled the tentacles to engulf the world was talking to him.

She didn't get a response, but she didn't care.

She touched the bright red cursed fire flower on her head, tied the loosened flower into her hair, and then turned her head slowly.

She originally thought she would see the same alienated version of him as before.

As a result, she saw a white square solid bulging from the fabric of his chest.

It tore through the fabric, protruded from the chest, and gradually began to turn red and warm.

She smelled a smell of gunpowder, her expression changed dramatically, and she was about to pounce.

"boom--!"

The explosion happened suddenly.

Su Ming'an's body was torn into pieces by the explosion. The suddenly formed explosive exploded, tearing his heart directly from the chest and abdomen.

The bomb, which was recalled by Michael in freeze-frame, finally exploded as scheduled one hour after he lost consciousness.

The white-haired woman looked at this scene in shock. She rushed forward and cried loudly looking at his broken body.

At this moment, when he was about to die, a moment of clarity flashed through Su Mingan's sluggish mind.

All the scenes after he was alienated began to replay in his mind.

He remembered most of what would happen next.

Death returns.

Alienation ends.

After the darkness passed, he opened his eyes again.

In the sky, there are figures of several players coming to investigate. At this time, the world mission of slaying the evil god has just been released.

"Evil God! Today is the day of your destruction——"

In the sky, Mizushima Kawakora, holding a blazing white sword, shouted loudly, his voice like thunder.

The wind on the rooftop of Shibao was a bit strong, and it blew his sweaty hair.

Beside him, the tentacles lay quietly, and the strange heartbeat sound had not yet appeared.

……came back.

He stretched out his hand, as if he could still see the alienated fluid material covering his whole body. He seemed to have become an unconscious corpse in an instant, a stone statue deprived of the ability to think. The alienated pain that lasted for a full hour, at this moment

It seems extremely clear.

He has complete vision, smell, pain and perception, but cannot speak a complete sentence. As long as he opens his eyes, he seems to be able to see the pair of pale eyes staring at him.

"——Su Ming'an, why are you standing among the tentacles...I see, is your identity this time the evil god? Are all these strange phenomena caused by you?" Mizushima Kawakora, who had just arrived, discovered this place.

The movement immediately locked his eyes on him standing on the rooftop of the stone castle.

Su Ming'an turned a deaf ear to her words. He just lowered his head and looked at his hands, which were as intact as new, as if he were looking at some cherished treasure.

In the last week, he was alienated and watched them turn into pitch-black mucus bit by bit, inch by inch. His melted fingers were mixed with the chaotic substances on his body. At that time, he could not control his fingers or his palms.

He couldn't speak, couldn't move...as if he had been trapped in a shell made by his body for the rest of his life. Everything became strange and bizarre in his eyes.

The endless fear made his whole body tremble even now, his eyes moved stiffly, and for a moment, he had a self-destructive desire to tear his chest apart.

...just to curb this fear that continues to this day.

In the past, he could use his body and emotions to do anything that could advance the progress of the level. As time goes by, he no longer sees himself as a full human being, but more like a creature transformed to achieve his goals.

Detachable props. He can split his expressive ability, his emotional contagion ability, his emotions towards everyone, his thinking, beliefs and philosophy, and his tolerance for pain.

, emotional feedback, breaking down his basic logical reasoning and empathy abilities.

...Constructed as a qualified "first player".

Because he is fully aware that he is inherently deficient and incapable, he needs to carry out these "splits".

Because he is weak and because his virtue is not suitable, he wants to use everything available. And the most suitable one is the few power he has control over, which is his death.

...If his death can extend his future path, then let him die.

If his death can reveal the truth about clearing the level, then so be it.

Therefore, in order to obtain clues after alienation, he could put himself in the alienation for one hour in the previous week to look for opportunities to break the situation.

He originally thought it was no big deal. He had done this kind of thing to live towards death many times before. Whether it was death by being pierced through the temple, draining blood to infuse the magic circle, or being torn apart by explosions, or being crushed alive.

He was turned into a meat pie, pushed down from a thousand meters high and fell to death... He had experienced many such pains.

His mental points are high enough, and he is confident that he can adjust his state after the alienation is over, just like he did in White Sand Paradise.

He is not as smart as a demon, nor can he punch the organizer or kick the boss rabbit. He cannot chop melons and vegetables all the way like a hero and easily win the victory.

Therefore, he could only open up a path by stepping on his own corpse.

Human beings travel on the road from birth to death throughout their lives, and they just go back a few more steps between the starting point and the end point. If you don't even have this kind of awareness, let alone win back your homeland in a desperate game.

He just couldn't enjoy this gift of fate called death with peace of mind, and indulged in high status and wastage.

No matter how painful and torturous it is.

but now,

After experiencing death and experiencing the unspeakable pain of alienation that is dozens of times more painful,

The string he had been holding on to was somewhat broken.

Human physical pain,

It can easily spread to a mental breakdown.

"——Su Mingan, does your silence represent acquiescence?"

Mizushima Kawakora looked at Su Ming'an, who was hanging his head and said nothing, and raised his eyebrows: "Your identity is the evil god, and the players and their guides are compatible. From this, it seems that you are also——"

She raised the flaming sword in her hand and became excited.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you - my missing Qing - you have seen her, right? She has been missing since the sixth world. She mentioned to me that she went to find you.

However, there has been no news from her until now. If she comes back, she will definitely come to me...

——Only you, only you can force her to lose her player identity. You two have a grudge, and you are the only person in power who can change the identity of NPC and player——

——You killed her!"

…

【Evil God, today is the day of your destruction.】

…

Above the sky, a dark-haired woman who looked like a god loudly pronounced the crimes of the evildoers.
To be continued...
