Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Player
Under the dim street lamp, looking at the handwriting on the note that Eri Yi slowly wrote, Mu Qingtong's face began to become more and more solemn.
…… Mentor?
Among the fierce ghosts, there are only a few famous people she remembers, the king general played by Herzog, the dragon king played by Gen Zhinu, and the dragon horse played by Sakurai Twilight, and then they are gone.
Now Herzog is suspected of having become a Deadpool, Gen Zhinu is honestly staying in the Snake Eight Family, and Sakurai Twilight was cut off by her in advance, where did this mentor come from?
…… Someone sent from Bondarev's side?
Frowning slightly, Mu Qingtong continued to look at it.
In Eri's description, the tutor is a very beautiful woman, although she has not seen her much, but every time she will patiently chat with her and tell her stories, she is her psychological pillar who can't even sit up when she is lying in bed at that time.
Later, she was better and was able to sit up in bed, but she still couldn't stand up, except when the tutor came to accompany her, most of the time, she sat alone in bed and watched the yard in a daze or played the games brought by the tutor.
The tutor has left her a nanny in the yard to take care of her, but unless she rings the bell, the other party will never show up in her room at other times other than delivering food.
She could feel that in addition to the nanny's fear of her, there was also a faint disgust hidden in her heart, and that unprovoked malice made her more and more silent.
So when she waited for her body to get better and she could barely get out of bed and walk around, she no longer needed a nanny to take care of her daily life, she tactfully expressed to her mentor that she wanted the other party to leave.
In fact, her idea was very simple, since the other party hated him, then it would be good to let the other party not come, but what she didn't expect was that after seeing the note she wrote, the tutor touched her head, and then called the nanny in front of her with a smile.
After asking the nanny a few questions, the tutor pulled out a gun and shot the other person in front of her, then hugged her comfortingly and told her that he would not let her be wronged again...... But she just looked at the babysitter who fell on the ground in a daze.
- Because of this incident, she never let anyone else take care of her for the next few years.
In fact, when living alone in the yard, Erika had thoughts about the future, but the premise of those thoughts was all based on her having a healthy body, and she didn't.
I thought that her body would gradually get better over time, but I didn't expect it to get worse and worse.
…… At this time, the tutor specially brought her a special game.
The mentor tells her that reality is actually a game, and the mentor tells her that she can get everything from the game, and the mentor tells her that she is qualified to be a player......
So, following the instructions of her mentor, she re-established a character card called Player.
When she logged into this role, her previously weak body left her, and she came to the courtyard for the first time with her own strength, and breathed the air called freedom.
…… She didn't want to give it all up.
Thus, an existence called [Player] was born.
The player is like another her, who doesn't care about anything else, only about mission objectives and mission rewards, indifferent, cold, and unfamiliar......
The stranger made her ...... Afraid.
After that, the tasks that followed closely around these were the tasks that came again and again, and the task rewards that came with the missions, and by increasing the level and obtaining these task rewards, her body not only regained her health, but also possessed extremely powerful power.
Although these things can only be owned when she logs into the player's account, the mentor tells her that once she completes the main quest in one stage, everything on the player's account will be fully synchronized to her real body.
"Everything is just a game, the dead will be resurrected, it's not a big deal."
- the mentor told her with a smile.
She resists the idea, but the player agrees, and she wants to stop the player, but she can't because it's herself.
〖…… When I woke up that day, the player seemed to disappear from her body, but I was scared when she would reappear. 〗
- As she wrote this, Eri subconsciously clenched her fists.
"Don't worry, it's okay, she won't show up again."
Sighing, Mu Qingzhi reached out and touched Painted Liyi's head.
…… Gamer?
Before, she had always thought that the name was an insulting name given by Bondarev to Eri, but she didn't expect it to be a name.
Just like the relationship between Gen and Ruri Kazama, so does the relationship between Eri and the player, Bondarev almost really cultivated an extremely evil ghost like Ruri Kazama.
But now, with the infusion of the recovery serum, Eri's personality called the player merges with her...... After all, they were all the same.
It is also for this reason that Erika feels panicked, after all, the player's memory is her memory, and the player's actions are also from her subordinates, and the two are not separated from each other.
And judging from the performance when facing Eri Yi alone that night, in Mu Qingtong's opinion, the ghost named [Player] in Eri Yi's body should not have really taken shape, after all, Eri Yi's situation is not as good as that of Yuan Zhinu.
- Before the ghost named [Player] takes shape, Eri's body will definitely collapse due to being overwhelmed.
〖…… But I killed a lot of people. 〗
Lowering her eyes, Eri Yi's expression was gloomy.
No matter how much I try to excuse myself, saying that a stranger killed those people in the name of the game reward, those people died at my hands. In that building today, many people in the building looked at me with great desire...... 〗
"Alright, you don't have to write anymore. It's not all your fault, it's down to the people who turned you into a player. ”
Reaching out to hold the trembling pen in Huiliyi's hand, Mu Qingfang shook his head slightly at her.
"Since you have done something wrong, then try to make amends, I will not say such words as forgiving you for the families of those people, but you can ask for their forgiveness."
…… Why did Uesugi Goe, after learning the news of Eri, not choose to call on the resources of the Eight Snake Families and choose to go to the meeting alone?
The reason, in particular, is actually very simple.
Uesugi is using his own way to atone for the sins of those mistakes committed by Erika...... He was even mentally prepared to die on the battlefield like this.
"Alright, let's go back."
Stretching his arms and standing up from the chair, Mu Qingzhi smiled at Eri Yi, who was sitting in the chair.
"In a few days, it will be the funeral that the Eight Snake Families will hold for those deceased."
