Chapter 595 Chapter 590·"I will send you to Lu Shu."

"—Theodore, your treatment has caused emotional overload to many people. The Dawn system has judged that you are not suitable for this job, and you have been fired!"

With a stern sentence, a briefcase was thrown out. Lu Shu left the psychological counseling office with a sullen face, carrying the briefcase.

He wished he could get into the crevice.He originally thought that if he continued to stay in this position, he could at least help Su Mingan, but now he doesn't even have a job...

"Counseling 78 cases, including 56 cases of emotional deterioration and 17 cases of direct emotional overload, you are really a genius psychological counselor." When passing by the tea room, he heard a colleague laughing.

In just five days, the mood of half of the patients deteriorated... He was the first case in a hundred years, and the degree of failure can be recorded in the annals of history.

"Get out." Lu Shu left the tall building in an extremely bad mood—is he so speechless?

Usually, when Su Mingan said to attack those NPCs, he memorized them word by word.In the past few days, he explained the lighthouse theory to the criminals one by one. Why were those criminals not influenced?

He stood blankly by the traffic lights at the intersection, watching the pedestrians coming and going.

The smell of roasted sweet potatoes and fried chicken fills the air, the lights of the CCTV Tower twinkle like stars, and children with schoolbags jumping and jumping on the side of the street... This familiar city scene reminded him of Life on Zhai Xing.

Before his home was destroyed by fire, he lived in a small city. He went to temple fairs and parks, studied in school, walked around shopping malls holding his parents' hands, and saw the bustling lights of the city at night.

After nine years of education, he never went to school again, but he clearly remembers Zhai Xing's world of fireworks, every street in the small city...and every period of life with his family.

He lowered his head and rummaged through the briefcase in his hand, where various psychological reports were stacked together.

...He was in a trance, as if he had seen a notice of illness that the doctor handed him the day he became an adult.

…he once counted his falling hairs in the mirror, like counting the few remaining days of his life on a calendar.

He was not reconciled at the time, he didn't want to die, he wanted to avenge his parents, but human beings were at a loss before this disease, so they could only accept their fate, and he returned to the city where he went to junior high school.

In that huge city, he doesn't know how to use a mobile phone or scan codes to pay. Everything in modern society seems to be out of touch with him who has lived in the suburbs for a long time.

He had no money and no acquaintances. When it rained, he could only hide in the bridge hole and sleep with a black knife in his arms. When the weather was fine, he stood in the open space and practiced with the knife.Later, he found an unfinished building by himself and made money by teaching some rich second-generation children to use knives.

During those days, he was the most confused and hated his powerlessness the most. All night long, he could only dream of his dead parents and the building burning in the wind and rain.After waking up, he could only feel that his body was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't even lift the knife.

Even if he died of illness, he didn't want to stop breathing on the bed like a zombie. If he wanted to die, he would die with a knife.

Why did Measurement City arrange for him to be a psychological counselor? He vaguely knew that he did have a serious mental illness. The teacher approached his parents for this, but the family was conservative and didn’t know much about it, so there was no treat.

The dungeon arranged such an identity for him... Are you laughing at him?Laughing at his fragmented first half of life?Or scoff at his possible subsequent sad fate?
He doesn't know.

All he knew was that such misfortune was not enough to overwhelm him.

When he was about to die, the world game started.

He wandered blindly through the first half of the first world.I plan to wait until the end of the year before continuing with my previous life.

Of course, if he can rise up head-on, find out the truth and take revenge after returning to Zhai Xing...that would be the best.

But can World Game heal his dying body?Can he stick to this rule of clearing everything after death to the end?Can he, a targeted young man, rise up in the eyes of tigers?
If you can't get anything, it's best not to expect too much at the beginning.

……

... Then in the first world, with almost nothing, he met Su Mingan.

Many people told him that that person was called — [The First Player].

[The first player] means the strongest—the strongest player in the world.

Lu Shu suddenly realized——if the other party is the strongest, then his vision, his motivation to live, his purpose of revenge for his family...will he be satisfied in the end?

He heard the grading and spotlight theory from the other party.

That theory...was almost exactly the same as what his most respected elder and his deceased grandfather had said.

His family has almost blind faith and obedience to their elders.

At that moment...he suddenly understood that he had found a way to live.

In such a huge, blind city full of mediocre people.

In such a hopeless, peaceful, end-to-end life.

He found a companion who could walk with him.

No matter how much people say he licks, looks like a dog, or how jokingly they describe him, he doesn't care about the eyes of the world.In this life, people are looking for a reason to live.

He has found it.

In the eyes of him and that person——

Clearly there is a will to die.

[Relax... Su Mingan, the first player.I am fascinated by your theory. 】

【so what? 】

【I decided to follow you. I like people who always have a future in mind. I like you. I think you deserve to be my light. 】

……

Lu Shu took a step forward.

He walked across the zebra crossing and walked out of the city—since he lost his job as a psychological counselor, he was going to find Su Ming'an.

The Ninth World is the world closest to Zhai Xing's scene.This moved many players to tears, and even forgot that they were in the world game, and began to give up the mission and go shopping, reminiscing about this "taste of home".

"...are they all gathered there?"

"Yes, not only us, but also the remote control army... Fengcheng... I heard there are..."

"It's not that... the first player..."

"..."

Suddenly, Lu Shu turned his head.

Through the crowd, he heard these broken words.

Players are hidden in the crowd, and in what direction are they gathering.Most importantly, they refer to "first player".

He is Theodore now, and no one can recognize him, so he simply followed the discussion and walked in a more remote direction.

This is an abandoned construction site, a group of gathered players are sitting on stacked rubber tires, biting the oden in their hands.

...I have to say, this scene is really a bit joyful.

"People should be here." Sitting on the highest tire, a blond man squinted, with a donut in his mouth.

Downstairs in this unfinished business, hundreds of people have gathered. From the grilled sausages, fried chicken chops, plum juice, etc. in their hands, it can be seen that this is a group of players.They ate as they walked, their mouths completely restless.

"Almost, there are only so many people receiving the signal." Next to the blond man, a 1.8-meter-tall Western woman with a long black ponytail whispered in her ear.

She is Natalie, formerly a female agent of the Northland, and the official bodyguard of the Northland. Now she is mainly responsible for keeping an eye on the blond man to prevent him from showing symptoms of insanity.

The blond man was about to speak, but there was still a commotion underneath.

"Damn it! Who's eating stinky tofu and snail noodles! The taste is overwhelming!"

"——Why does it still smell like roasted durian, vomit... Big brother, my big brother, can we eat something human?"

"I'm so happy to be able to return to such a modern city. It feels like going home. It would be great if we were still in Zhai Xing..."

Players are not good at this point, no one will accept anyone, even if someone has a height status NPC, in the eyes of the players, they will be treated equally.

"Ahem." The blond man cleared his throat towards the microphone on the side of his face.

After a while, the players finally calmed down.

They want to see what one person wants to do after putting so much effort into contacting a group of players.

"Everyone." The blond man said surprisingly: "——I found Su Mingan's movements."

As soon as the words came out, the voices below were one after another, with surprise and doubt.Lu Shu frowned slightly.

"Many people know that he is in the fringe area, but they don't know the exact location, right? The lady next to me with radar skills can lock his specific coordinates." The blond man said.

"—Who are you?" someone asked.

"Don't care who I am, I'll just tell you lucky ones his coordinates." The blond man said.

"Heh, do you think that everyone is the same as you and wants to target the first player?"

"...That's right. I don't want to go into this muddy water. I don't know how I will be scolded by the audience."

"I will go to the World Channel to speak now, and tell the first player to stay away."

Some people left the meeting place, and some people spoke on the World Channel. Most of these speeches flowed into the sea. There were too many people speaking on the World Channel, and there was even a lot of false information.

The blond man just smiled silently, looking at all this, with a hint of nervous pleasure in his smile.

He knew that even if someone was unwilling to do such a thing, there would still be someone who would support it.

Human nature, he understands it too deeply, too deeply.Even the people who really liked Su Ming'an, some of them stayed. They wanted to meet the stars and hang out with those who had malicious intentions.

……

【Measurement City·Fringe Area】

The figure outside the door fluttered, and the figure of the mechanical army appeared not far away.

"Come back! You can't go out now, you will run into each other." Xiaomei heard the sound of the search, she immediately pulled Su Mingan up and pulled him back into the wheelchair.

"It's okay, I can go." Su Mingan said.

Suddenly, the unconscious man on the ground opened his eyes, and Xiaomei's father woke up.

The man stared blankly at Su Mingan's wheelchair, and suddenly realized something.

"——Hey, the city lord is——" The man straightened up abruptly, and reported to the outside, shouting so fast and furiously that Su Mingan didn't even have time to stop him.

The next moment, a white light flashed, and a white shadow suddenly appeared.

Following a ray of space-shattering light, the man fell silently, and the sound stopped abruptly.

【HP-198! (Coma! Suppression of combat power!)]

"Meow~"

The white fat dumpling stuck to the ground with a "pop", and it pulled up the sheet to wipe its paws.

... so timely.

Su Mingan realized that he still lacked a concealed skill that could kill enemies quickly.The range of space vibration is too large, and the attack distance of Annihilation is too short.If the white cat hadn't jumped out, the voice would have been shouted.

"Father!" Xiaomei knelt down, she felt the man's pulse tremblingly, and when she found that he was not dead, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if they are no longer human, they are still relatives, and some things are disgusting but they cannot be let go.

"You stay and take care of her." Su Mingan said to the white cat.

Xiaomei is related to TE2, she doesn't want to leave, so she can't let her be bullied.Keeping a white cat with a combat power of over a thousand can at least guarantee her safety, and the white cat is useless anyway.

The white cat frowned instantly, it didn't want to take care of a little girl at all.

"If you don't stay, I won't give you food in the future." Su Mingan said.

The white cat looked indifferent.

"If you don't stay, I will lock you up forever and won't fight for you." Su Mingan said.

The white cat was still indifferent, and even shook its fluffy tail, it was not afraid of this threat at all.

"...I will send you to Lu Shu." Su Mingan said.

The white cat jumped up instantly.

It leaned against Xiaomei's feet, the anger in its eyes clearly said, "Don't give me to Lu Shu!"

...It's so annoying, Lu Shu.

Su Mingan glanced at Xiaomei and pushed open the door.

"You..." Xiaomei stared blankly at Su Mingan who took the initiative to go out.

Su Mingan looked at the approaching mechanical army: "I didn't do anything wrong, let them 'invite' me back."
