Chapter 11: A Gloomy Past
Seeing Nuo Bai looking at him with a stunned gaze, Su Mo said calmly, "I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, but I don't have time to answer them all right now. ”
"If we start a minute earlier, we have a better certainty. So you immediately replied to me that you were going to be slaughtered in the encirclement? Or believe me once and follow me the other way? ”
This plan cannot be completed by Su Mo alone, and must be assisted by Nobai.
So, be sure to make her make up her mind.
has done so much before, leaving blood stains to attract rescue, and deliberately resisting to cause a comprehensive encirclement and suppression, just to cut off all the retreats of Nuobai and force her to make this determination.
In the game of death, only when you are trapped in the place of death can you survive in a desperate situation!
Su Mo's eyes were hot, waiting for her answer.
For Nobai, this may be the most difficult moment of his life.
Once you take this step, it means that all your previous efforts have been in vain, and you have to pin your hopes on someone who has only known you for a few days.
In the past, she would never have taken such a risk, and she would not even think about it.
But now...
Nuobai gritted his teeth.
Gradually, her psychological defenses were dismantled.
Her fingers pressed heavily on the nine keys, pointing the screen at Su Mo:
[Promise me!] 】
[Guaranteed to have what I want there!] 】
Looking at Nuo Bai, who was cornered by herself, Su Mo couldn't help but be a little stunned, and her past also came to mind.
"Dawn" is a science fiction game, the world has a high level of science and technology, but the human life is extremely inferior, symbolizing the powerful giants and the weak bottom of the people form a sharp contrast, everywhere can be seen class rigidity, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the repression of human nature.
In the original plot, Nuobai is one of Su Mo's favorite and most regrettable NPCs.
Born in a chaotic low-class city, she grew up on the streets, full of pollution, disease, poverty and hunger, full of criminals and persecutors, and human life was no different from rats.
In general, a lonely girl like her is prone to a sudden death, either from starvation or disease, or to being taken away and killed by a mutilated gang.
Even if you stumble and grow up, you can only scavenge for waste, stand on the streets, and if you are lucky, you can enter a factory that works 16 hours a day, all year round, with a pitiful salary, eating inferior food synthesized by machines, and living like a walking corpse.
And Nobai was lucky among those children.
When she was 13 years old, she stumbled upon a blood code syringe left behind by a violent group in a local fire, and through it she gained powerful blood code abilities.
After that, she became a mercenary as a blood code carrier, took commissions everywhere, and made a lot of money over the years.
However, every piece of luck is often secretly marked by fate.
Just when Nuobai's life was just getting better, "Blood Code Dissociation Syndrome" found her.
Due to the fact that she had been enemies of the company many times in her mercenary career, it was impossible for her to defect to the company, and she could only make a deal with a middleman named "Donald".
Donald asked Nuobai to help him complete a series of commissions, and promised that as long as nothing went wrong, he would help her find a "genetically compiled protein" to cure her through his connections.
This was also the beginning of the tragedy of Nobai.
In order to obtain life-saving drugs, she has to perform various difficult commissions, and in the process, she must use blood code ability intensively.
And the more often she uses her blood code ability, the more severe her blood code dissociation syndrome becomes, and the more she needs life-saving drugs.
This vicious circle turned into a death spiral, and she was trapped in it and could not get out, so she could only drag her stump and race against time desperately.
Originally, if Nuobai could get the genetically compiled protein as promised, and retire after curing the disease, it would be a good outcome.
Ke Nuobai offended too many forces in the commission assigned by Donald, and even offended those big people who monopolized the resources of the upper class.
Under the trade-off, Donald violated the rules of being a middleman, and directly betrayed Nuobai after squeezing out all the value.
In the original story, when the "player's" mercenary rating reaches a certain level, the relevant side quest will be triggered.
Donald will contact the player to issue a hunt commission, claiming that one of the mercenaries he is working with has no reputation, is a bad employer, and is the scum of the mercenary industry, and asks the player to purge him.
The hunting target of this commission is Nuobai.
There is no pre-plot for this side quest in the game, and it is difficult to understand the story of Nuobai in a week, coupled with Donald's fame in the mercenary world and the generous task rewards, players often choose to carry out the hunt.
Only after the completion of this quest and the player gets the key to Nuobai's corpse to search her house will the real Nuobai be discovered from the diary.
Nuo Bai is not some discreditless scum in Donald's mouth, she is the youngest legendary mercenary in Crescent City, with a 100% completion rate of commissions in her 8 years in the industry, and she has always been conscientious and has never been sorry for any employer or middleman.
The famous Silent Death, in fact, likes to eat candy in private, because she almost starved to death once when she was a child, and it was a few candies given by passers-by that kept her alive, and every time she ate candy, she would have a feeling of being alive and well.
She also adopted five or six stray cats in her home, one of which was called "Fanfan", in memory of a childhood friend of the same name who died young, and they had spent the darkest and lonely years together.
Over the years as a mercenary, she has made a lot of money by taking commissions, and the money can't buy genetically compiled proteins, and she can't use them up, so she will donate them to charity funds to help children from humble backgrounds like herself.
She also fantasized in her diary that after retiring from the cure, she would go to work as a clerk in the small shop downstairs, because the grandmother's daughter in the store died a few years ago, and the grandmother was very lonely in her old age, and she wanted to accompany the old man more.
That diary was full of Nuobai's life, and between the lines was a passion for life.
But it was such a person who tried to stay alive, and in the end he was betrayed and betrayed by the despicable Donald and died at the hands of players who didn't know the truth.
Nuobai's subplot can be said to be a dark microcosm of the entire Dawn world, and it exposes a bloody reality to players - that is, in this bullshit world, "living like a person" is just a luxury for the people at the bottom.
In the past, when he played the game, except for Zhou Mu who killed Nuo Bai in a daze, Su Mo would never touch this hunting task after playing many weeks, even if he would miss a lot of rewards because of it.
And now, he has crossed over and the game has become a reality.
Nobai, who used to be an NPC, has become a real person standing in front of him.
The old era ruins he was going to go to, was there anything in them that could suppress the ancestral blood code?
Yes, absolutely, this is the plot verified.
So... Is there a genetically compiled protein in it that is needed by Nuobai?
He didn't know...
After all, a game is just a game, and no matter how real the game is, not all objects can be interacted with, there are always some places that can't be entered, and there are always some boxes that can't be opened.
Those who are unable to explore the room may have genetically compiled proteins that could save Noba's life.
Or maybe there is nothing, and hope never exists.
He can't guarantee it.
Looking at Nuo Bai's trembling hands and the four words "Promise me" on the screen of his mobile phone, Su Mo's mood became heavier and heavier, but he did not hesitate.
If it was a game now, he would definitely not deceive Nuobai, but would try to save her in various ways.
It's stupid to say that respecting NPCs in the game.
It's a fool to say that it is a fool to lick a dog for a paper man.
Playing games is happy, he is happy, and he can do whatever he wants.
Anyway, the game.,Dead study file.,It doesn't matter if you die a hundred times or a thousand times.。
But now it's reality.
In reality, he has only one life.
He doesn't mind helping others when he has plenty of energy to spare.
However, the premise of all help is to live on one's own.
You only live once.
Nothing is more important than surviving yourself.
Su Mo met Nuo Bai's eager gaze, and his voice was full of unshakable power: "Take me away." I assure you, there's what you need there. ”
