[Dungeon opens·Ninth day]

In the early morning, the aroma of hot porridge filled the air.

People wore felt hats, carried guns, and wrapped themselves up tightly. Many people had dangerous missions out of the city today.

Su Mingan woke up at six o'clock in the morning and happened to meet a large group of people having breakfast.

"Lovis, don't you feel cold because you are wearing so little?" A pink-haired girl named Stacie stared curiously at Su Ming'an, who was wearing a white coat.

Others heard the movement and looked over.

"It's not cold." Su Mingan shook his head.

He passed people and walked outside.

Not far away, a blue-haired young man walked over. Through the mist of hot porridge, Su Mingan met his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be in the Beacon Fire Shelter, Luvis, let's go out together." The blue-haired young man naturally put his arm on Su Mingan's shoulder: "Let's go."

Su Ming'an recognized who the blue-haired young man was. Those who could do this intimate gesture of arm-in-arm were none other than a few of his player teammates, most likely Lu.

They walked out of the shelter and saw that the loess road outside was somewhat uneven and wide enough for three large trucks to pass side by side. The trucks roared past, crowded with heavily armed mercenaries.

There are some red lanterns hanging under the house, and the store sells some necessities such as wheat seeds, potatoes, salt, and sugar.

"There are still four teammates left." Lu said: "Noel... can't be found for the time being. We can only look for Lu Shu, Yamada and Luna."

"Um."

"There's a festival going on here recently, it seems to be called the 'Fuyuan Festival', and everyone is doing shopping," Lu said.

He looked at the street. The culture here was somewhat similar to that of the Dragon Kingdom. The Fu Yuan Festival was very similar to the Spring Festival. Decorations similar to lanterns were hung in many places on the streets, and people were drying dry goods such as bacon sausages.

"That's quite a coincidence. It's almost the Chinese New Year in the Lord God's World," Su Mingan said.

In the past few days, he saw that the audience had been talking about the New Year's Eve. Since this was the first New Year's Eve for humans in the world game, they felt very novel.

Now beside Su Ming'an, Noel was invaded by Tavi and did not participate in Caius Tower. Lu Shu was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know where he was in Caius Tower. Yueyue... As the battle group's Luo Kelstia

, and I don’t know where it is.

His "Siboer's Tracking Compass" prop can only locate three people in a copy. Now it has located two people, Dong An'an and Lin Guang, and there is another position that he must leave empty to prevent accidents. There is no

The position is reserved for teammates.

No one he trusted is around now.

"Here." Suddenly, a hand stretched out.

Su Mingan turned his head and saw Lu Zheng smiling gently. In Lu's palm lay an oval-shaped candy wrapped in purple.

"My sister likes you very much and asked me to bring you Australian snacks." Lu said: "It is said that sweets can make people feel better. If she sees you eating her candies, she will be very happy."

As the only player on the list who can get along with the audience, Lu is known as the person "least affected by public opinion". He is very high in terms of emotional intelligence, speaking skills and affinity.

"Thank you." Su Mingan said.

He put the candy in his pocket but didn't eat it. He would never eat any food offered to him again.

Lu didn't care, he just raised the camera in his hand.

There are some side tasks in Kaiusta, and you can get contribution points by completing them. I took a side task of filming NPPC actions and events.

"Su Mingan, can you wait for me here for a while?" Lu said, "My task is to conduct an interview, very soon."

"Okay." Su Mingan said.

It is now the early stage of Caius Tower, which focuses on collecting information. He has not received any system prompts, and it has not yet reached the time when major events will occur.

He hasn't decided yet how to restore Acto's actions in history.

...How should he launch the War of Dawn?

In this forty-year-long epic war for freedom and liberation, which is etched in the history books, how should he lead the group of people who respect him like a god?

Lu raised the camera and walked towards an ordinary store.

In a store selling paper flowers and red lanterns, an old woman with gray hair sat.

Her hands are very skillful, and bright red paper cranes and small paper figures are folded out by her calloused hands. She looks focused, like a craftsman in an ancient town.

Su Ming'an was waiting outside. Lu walked in and handed the candy to the old lady. The old lady smiled and said a few words in front of the camera, and then held Lu's hand and gave instructions. After a while, Lu walked out.

"Long wait, Su Mingan." Lu said. He was holding a beautiful paper lantern in his hand, bright red, like the sun.

Su Mingan was not interested in the old lady's affairs and had no intention of asking too much.

They continued walking on the street. After a while, Lu took the initiative to speak:

"That old woman's daughter was forced to be recruited by the gods' camp and forced to listen to the gods' whispers."

Su Mingan tilted his head slightly.

The road’s eyes are far away:

"The grandma's daughter died of [deficiency] disease, and she was still pregnant with her grandson before she died."

"The daughter gave birth to the child, but the child was born with defects. In the end, the old woman had no choice but to kill the child with her own hands."

"Then... the old lady went crazy."

"She only remembers how to fold paper flowers and paper cranes. She spent all day and night folding various gadgets. Because of these things, she used to fold them for her pregnant daughter to play with."

"She will only react to people who give her sweets, because my daughter loved to eat sweets before she was pregnant. So, she just held my hand and kept calling me 'daughter, daughter'."

"My camera just wants to record stories like this. I came here to collect materials in order to expose the cruelty of the Holy Inquisition, the camp of gods."

"I want to take the path of a 'news and public opinion expert'. Since there are media and live broadcasts here, I want to pass on the cruel things done by these gods' camps while protecting the safety of the parties concerned. In this way, even if I don't fight, I

The contribution value of the camp will not be less."

Su Mingan listened and said nothing.

The idea of ​​​​the road is very clear.

However, in this way, Lu will be completely opposed to the god camp. Once the freedom camp is defeated, Lu will definitely not be able to get a good deal.

"——So, do you understand the purpose of me telling you this?" Lu said suddenly.

He stared at Su Ming'an. Although his eyes were soft, they looked firm at this time.

"Well." Su Mingan said: "You want me to start the War of Dawn as Asa Akto, but you don't want me to watch as Luvis, right?"

Such tragic things will only become more and more common in this context and will never end.

"I don't know why you possessed Akto." Lu said: "It can only mean that if there is someone who can save these people, you are the most suitable.

I... don't force you, I just want you to see these things. Even if you choose to continue to be Luvis, I will respect you. After all, you have mechanical technology that is far ahead of the times, which is enough for you to make good contributions.

It’s worth it, there’s no need to take the most dangerous road.”

"..." Su Mingan said nothing.

They walked past a studio, where some children were scribbling green mountains and green waters on drawing paper - it was a scene before the catastrophe of the century.

Although they don't remember what happened in the Century Catastrophe, everyone can vaguely remember that that era was a very beautiful era.

Like Qiu Li, they will have a secret and real yearning for that era, and will try their best to restore the unknown past.

Su Mingan looked away.

His eyes are distant.

"——Run quickly, the people from the Holy Inquisition are coming!"

Suddenly, the people in front who were leaving the city fled back as if running for their lives.

Hearing the words "Holy Inquisition", Lu tensed up. He pulled Su Ming'an and got into the gap between the houses on the side.

The Holy Inquisition is the largest judicial institution in the camp of gods. It is a powerful armed force that belongs only to Lin Guang and can execute residents at will.

In the narrow gap between the walls, there were only some stacked wooden frames and charcoal fires. Su Mingan clung to the wall and looked at the scene outside.

Among the fleeing people, Su Mingan saw a calm figure.

——That is a man walking in steel.

The white-haired young man walked among the machines made of steel. His handsome and handsome face showed a warm blood color, but he seemed to have merged into the mechanical army.

The white-haired young man's robe was blown up by the wind, and his eyes no longer had the tenderness in his eyes when he was walking with Su Mingan at night. Facing the fleeing people, he only said one sentence:

"I suspect there are disobedient people here - go and search from house to house."

Behind him, the mechanical army with blood-red eyes received the order and rushed out.

The mechanical army breaks into people's homes and searches their belongings. If there are items judged to be "blasphemous", the people will be dragged out and tied up.

As for the specific criteria for judging this, no one knows. This is simply like...a massacre without standards, purely for the purpose of reducing the population.

People were escorted to the square, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. And that person was like a god - Lin Guang, the agent who judged people's lives. He stood on a high platform and gestured towards the mechanical army responsible for the execution.

Those extremely cold eyes contained emotions that were not human at all.

Just like... the [Dawn System] of the City of Measurement.
To be continued...
