First Player

No. 7 "Ajinni Church"

【2024/02/01·00:01 am】

On the World Forum, thousands of red-tagged hot posts surged in popularity, instantly sweeping the home page.

"Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!" A series of prompts sounded.

People who had just finished the Spring Festival Gala called up the forum screen and saw the news that shocked them.

…

[(Hot) Emergency situation in the ninth world: Shocking explosion! The organizer personally admitted that Noor Akinni, the second-ranked player in the world, has special authority! ? 】

[(Hot) The organizer turned into a blood shadow and appeared in the game copy! ! Hundreds of millions of viewers poured into the live broadcast room! Organizers really can’t get involved in world games? Are they organizers, observers, or judges holding sharp swords? 】

[(Hot) Top player ‘Skywalker’ Clemmy claimed: It’s nonsense. Human players cannot have authority over the organizers. 】

[(Hot) New World Guild issued a statement: It supports Guild President Noel Akinni. 】

[(Hot) Noel Akinni may become the hope of mankind? Can he use his authority to lead mankind forward? Who will be awarded the title of ‘No. 1 Player’? Will the organizers punish Noor Akinni for exposing his power? Several major joint organizations have not yet expressed their stance, and the incident is still unfolding. Let us pray for the adventure players on the front line...]

[Former player Burris on the (hot) list said that he also has special rights, which are called "telling stories with Su Ming'an anytime and anywhere"...]

【……】

A groundswell of public opinion is forming rapidly.

"...Whether the second player on the list, Noel Ajinni, loves humans or high-dimensional creatures. We don't want the message that "someone has special authority" to break out among humans. This means that human classes will be further divided. , all adventure players may be suspected..."

"At this stage, there are only one out of ten adventurers. If there are high-dimensional creatures that are close to humans and have blessed some human beings with 'authority', we should even be grateful to these high-dimensional creatures..."

The Alliance Watch Group, a large human self-rescue organization, quickly issued a statement, so fast that one wonders whether it was written in advance. The poster, Abner, wrote tens of thousands of words eloquently, calling on everyone not to target adventure players.

However, doubts soon emerged.

The well-known host Daisy danced and shouted on social media: "If these people in authority are traitors to mankind, and they only gained power after reaching a contract with higher-dimensional creatures - wouldn't we all be wiped out? This Maybe it’s a conspiracy! A trap of authority!”

Daisy's worries are not unreasonable. There is no free lunch in the sky, so don't those who receive authority need to pay the price?

It's much easier to blame others than to blame yourself. Everyone fantasizes that they are the protagonist, but now they find that the person with the golden finger from the sky is not themselves - strong jealousy is like a flame, burning through their hearts.

Popular casual anchor Qiao Na said: "I suspect that those who have always been at the top of the rankings all have such special authority. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why they are so powerful."

Joanna is an extremely beautiful and popular anchor, and her words have received many recognitions. Someone took this opportunity to ask questions in Mizushima Kawa Sora's live broadcast room.

In the live broadcast room, Mizushima Kawakawa was fighting on the battlefield. A black hole-like arc was expanding around her, making it impossible for ordinary soldiers to step within three meters of her body.

Her expression was cold and hard, and the black knife wiped out hundreds of meters in an instant, leaving a terrifying lightning-like mark on the red earth.

Seeing the topic in his live broadcast room, Mizushima Kawa Sora sneered:

"What special authority? Ridiculous!"

"Noel has authority, that's his business. Every bit of my strength is earned with my own hands. For every task and every point of my points, I have never prayed to anyone - if you are worried, then You have to become an adventure player to gain weight, and you have to put a hat on everyone, disgusting!"

"I have never felt ashamed of the unfairness of the game or my identity as a human being. You don't blame the ordinary players for being too weak, but blame the adventure players for being too strong? Some people say that intelligence widens the gap between people. This is right. Yes, I have clearly seen the intellectual gap among you people, some are as stupid as pigs, and some are worse than pigs and dogs!"

As soon as her words came out, many people immediately moved them to the World Forum.

Various voices emerged one after another, and the forum fell into fierce debate.

Many people spoke uprightly and said, "Noel is the hope of mankind, and we are willing to trust him." Others said, "There are only eight months left in the world game. If we don't believe in Noel, it will be difficult for mankind to have a future." Others said, "The blonde shota is absolutely righteous. I will always like the adult legal shota, so I will support him" and so on...

In fact, the vast majority of people support Noel, and Daisy and others are just a worried minority. Even if they feel jealous, people still prefer to believe that Noel belongs to the human side.

More and more people are paying attention to this matter.

Soon, some influential people joined in.

Kairosa, a volunteer of the joint group, spoke out and supported Noel: "The situation in the live broadcast proved that the organizers were panicked by the exposure of this kind of authority, and even wanted to punish Noel. This means that Noel Ajinni is very likely On the side of humanity, we should not point the finger at our own heroes."

Chen Jiang, vice chairman of the Joint Government Skills Illustration Compilation Committee, said: "If people are worried, they should take matters into their own hands to fight for opportunities for mankind, rather than being arrogant and instigating from a moral perspective. Moreover, I believe in the concept of 'the chosen one', There is an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom - God will give great responsibility to the people here. Noel Akinni is the hero of our doomsday era, and it was God who gave him the opportunity to save us."

"The future of humanity will not be stopped by anything," said Cole of Gran Vitoria. "We need to have a spirit of unity and not lose our minds in anger and jealousy."

Lu Chunjiang of the Human Self-Rescue Research Group said: "The struggle between civilization and doomsday is extremely difficult. Our theme is only one - survive, and survive at all costs. The authority held by Noel Akini is one of the few human beings to fight back Opportunity."

Top player Derrick said: "I trust Noel's character and he will lead us forward."

Flora, a top player on the list, said: "Even if you have authority, this is the adventurer's own ability and there is no need to separate it."

Lin Yin, a player at the top of the list, said: "rnm, a group of Internet trolls know how to troll their own people. If they are really ruthless, they should be thrown into the cesspool."

"..."

Discussions, arguments, plans, phone calls, joint meetings...

Some people feel superior to others and judge adventurers; some feel jealous and vent their anger like mad dogs; some think deeply and believe that this is an opportunity for mankind; some write long articles of ten thousand words and question the possibility of time retrieval from a scientific perspective.

An intensifying storm is sweeping over humanity. Emergency meetings within the joint regiment are held day and night. Countless people woke up from their sleep.

This night, one billion humans stayed awake all night.

And the ninth world - the center of sight for hundreds of millions of people, the eye of the hurricane.

Under the camera, the blond boy straightened his hat and smiled.

His blond hair was slightly raised, like the brilliant feathers of Phoenix, the legendary Greek Phoenix, coated with a sharp metallic sheen. His expression was as energetic as the rising sun, with no fear at all.

He stood in the center of the layers of blood shadows, raising his arms forward, as if he was flapping a pair of invisible wings on his side, as if he was about to fly high into the sky——

Dozens of blood shadows with deep pressure surrounded him, but Noel Akinni was like a bird flying into the sky, singing loudly to the sky.

He said he would wait until he finished singing the song.

The high-dimensional creature actually didn't stop him, but waited silently for him to finish singing.

“Who can I turn to to get my sharpness back, to show standing to the people who love me?

"I once played the melody for the blooming flowers, but now I'm afraid I hate the music..."

This scene looks extremely strange. The sacrifice is singing loudly on the altar, as if he is the god who wants to be worshiped.

In this scene, people noticed a hint of sacredness, which made people feel a sense of absurdity that was incompatible with the world.

In fact, it was the situation that led to the current situation. It was the pure wisdom of Noel. He does not have any power or authority beyond human scope.

——Wisdom is his only authority.

Su Ming'an stood on the edge of the valley, watching these barrages as if he were the most sober bystander. He had never seen humans become so fanatical. People claim to create the "Akinni Church" and make the powerful Noel Akinni the new generation of gods for mankind. Use the three-element system of faith, energy, and authority to push Noel to the glorious throne.

It is obvious that Noel is a pure human being, and it is obvious that he does not hold any authority from the gods.

[Noel Akinni holds authority. He is a "god" on the human side. This is the decree of the times! 】

[Sister Callement has made a divination, predicting that Noel Akinni will lead mankind to defeat Gaowei. 】

[Yinguo Kaxiu announced that he will change his faith and he will join the embrace of the New World teachings. 】

[Archaeological experts have further penetrated the mysterious murals of the Mayan civilization and believe that there will be a savior beyond human ability in the doomsday era, and Noel Akinni fits this requirement. 】

[Some people claim that the ancient paintings of the Inca civilization have already predicted the birth of Noel Akini...]

【……】

There is a crazy surge in all kinds of opinions that are different from true to false.

The fanaticism of the group spread into a more terrifying fanaticism. Once it breaks out, it will be as overwhelming as an overwhelming force.

Under high pressure, group members often accelerate the emergence of unconscious personalities through hints, emotional contamination, etc. This kind of personality generally manifests as simplicity, absurdity, paranoia and tyranny.

When a crisis occurs, their emotions often overwhelm their rationality, and blind impulse replaces thinking.

Human beings have been suppressed for too long in an environment ruled by higher dimensions, and once regarded themselves as toys and chess pieces without dignity. But they suddenly discovered that there was someone among them who could compete equally with higher-dimensional creatures.

Troubled times are conducive to the cohesion of faith. The current situation replicates the emergence of Asa Akto in the ruined world. The authority displayed by Noel Ajinni made him a "god" in the eyes of the people.

"..."

Su Mingan stared at Noel in silence until he finished singing a song, as if a drama was coming to an end.

A billion eyes converged here, and the valley became a real world stage.

The blond boy lowered his arms, looked directly at the blood shadows, and said:

“Gods, I understand what you want to ask.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the authority."

…

[Your denial is meaningless. 】Like a loud bell, the vague sound of the words turns into clear semantics and pours into people's minds.

"I guessed the five-digit password, so why don't I be allowed to have a brain like a genius?" Noel said with a smile.

…

[...] The blood shadow made no sound, but the pressure became thicker and heavier, and Noel could hardly lift his head.

…

"I have no authority." Noel lowered his head and spoke slowly:

"How are you going to prove that I [violated the rules]? Gods."

"Show me."

His eyes were as determined as razor blades.

Already intending to die.

…

…

[—The Lamb came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp and a golden furnace full of incense,]

[This incense is the prayers of all the saints. 】
