Chapter 95 [Player]
Chapter 98 [Player]
Under the dim street lights, Mu Qingzhi looked at the words written slowly on the note by Eri, and her face began to become more and more solemn.
... Mentor?
Among the ghosts, she only remembered a few famous characters, including the king played by Herzog, the dragon king played by Gen Chinu, and Ryoma played by Sakurai Kogure, and then there were no more.
Now Herzog is suspected to have become a deadpool, Gen Chinu stayed honestly in the Snake Eight Family, and Sakurai Kogure was intercepted by her in advance. Where did this mentor come from?
... Someone sent by Bondarev?
Frowning slightly, Mu Qingzhi continued to read.
In Eri's description, the mentor was a very beautiful woman. Although she said that she didn't visit her many times, she would always chat with her and tell her stories patiently every time. She was her psychological support when she couldn't even sit up in bed at that time.
Later, her condition improved a little, and she was able to sit up in bed, but she still couldn't stand up. Except when the tutor came to accompany her, she sat on the bed alone most of the time, staring at the yard in a daze or playing the games brought by the tutor.
The tutor left a nanny in the yard to take care of her, but unless she pressed the bell, the other party would never take the initiative to appear in her room at other times except for delivering meals.
She could feel that in addition to being afraid of her, the nanny also had a hidden disgust in her heart, and that kind of unprovoked malice made her more silent.
So when she waited for her body to get better and could barely get out of bed and walk around and no longer needed the nanny to take care of her daily life, she tactfully expressed to the tutor that she wanted the other party to leave.
In fact, her idea was very simple. Since the other party hated her, she would just 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 smiled and called the nanny in front of her.
After asking the nanny a few questions, the instructor took out a gun and shot the other person in front of her, then hugged her and comforted her and told her that she would never let her suffer any grievances again... But she just stared at the nanny who fell to the ground in a daze.
——Because of this incident, she never asked anyone to come and take care of herself in the next few years.
In fact, when she lived alone in the yard, Eri had ideas about the future, but the premise of those ideas was that she had a healthy body, which she did not have.
Originally thought that her body would gradually get better over time, but she did not expect it to get worse and worse.
... At this time, the instructor deliberately brought her a special game.
The instructor told her that reality is actually a game, and the instructor also told her that she can get everything from this game. The instructor also told her that she is qualified to be a player...
So, according to the instructor's instructions, she re-created a character card called Player.
When she logged into this character, her weak body left her. For the first time, she came to the yard with her own strength and breathed the air called freedom.
... She didn't want to give up all this.
So, an existence called [Player] was born.
The player is like another her, not caring about other things, only the mission objectives and mission rewards, indifferent, cold, strange...
Strangeness makes her...scared.
After that, surrounding these, there are missions again and again, and the mission rewards that come with the missions. By upgrading the level and obtaining these mission rewards, her body not only recovered health, but also possessed extremely powerful strength.
Although these things can only be obtained when she logs in to the player account, the instructor told her that as long as she completes the main mission of the first stage, everything on the player account will be completely synchronized to her real body.
"Everything is just a game. The dead will be resurrected. It's no big deal."
-The instructor told her with a smile.
She resisted this idea, but the player agreed very much. She wanted to stop the player, but she couldn't do it at all because the other party was herself.
〖...After waking up that day, the player seemed to disappear from her body, but I was scared, afraid that she would appear again. 〗
-When writing this paragraph, Eri subconsciously clenched her fists.
"Don't worry, it's okay, she won't appear again."
Sighing, Mu Qingzhi reached out and touched Eri's head.
...Player?
Before, she always thought that this name was an insulting name given to Eri by Bondarev, but she didn't expect it to be a real name.
Just like the relationship between Genji and Kazama Ruri, the relationship between Eri and Player is the same. Bondarev almost cultivated an extremely evil ghost like Kazama Ruri.
But now, with the injection of the recovery serum, Eri's personality called Player merged with her... After all, they were originally one person.
At the same time, it was also for this reason that Eri felt panic. After all, the player's memory was her memory, and what the player did was also done by her subordinates. There was no difference between the two.
From her performance when she faced Eri alone that night, Mu Qingzhi thought that the ghost named [Player] in Eri's body should not have really taken shape yet. After all, Eri's situation is not comparable to that of Genji.
——Before the ghost named [Player] takes shape, Eri's body will definitely collapse due to the heavy burden.
〖…But I killed a lot of people.〗
Lowering her eyes, Eri's expression was unbearably gloomy.
〖Even if I make excuses for myself, saying that a stranger killed those people in the name of game rewards, those people died at my hands. In that building today, many people looked at me with eyes that hated me...〗
"Okay, you don't have to write anymore. These are not all your fault. It should be attributed to those who turned you into a player."
Reaching out to hold down the trembling pen in Eri's hand, Mu Qingzhi shook her head slightly at her.
"Since you have done something wrong, then try to make amends. I will not say forgiveness on behalf of those people's families, but you can ask for their forgiveness."
... Why did Uesugi Yue choose to go to the meeting alone after learning about Eri's news instead of using the resources of the Eight Snakes?
The reason is actually very simple.
Uesugi Yue is using his own way to atone for Eri's mistakes... He has even prepared himself to die on the battlefield.
"Okay, let's go back."
Stretching his arms and standing up from the chair, Mu Qingzhi smiled at Eri who was sitting in the chair.
"In a few days, the Eight Snakes will hold a funeral for the dead."
