Remember to travel together once

In the light encounter, unknowingly, the Mu Tu, the Eye of the Storm, etc. that used to be scary have now become stress-relieving existences. "Let's go to Mudu today" and "Let's do a trial today" are very commonplace. Today it became "Go to the eye of the storm to sacrifice", but no matter what, the eye of the storm is still a more special existence. Perhaps it is because of such pain, as if there is a sense of awe in the end of mankind, even if it is in the game. When I reached the point where "there is no turning back", I hesitated for a moment, and in that moment I discovered that there was another player here.

I actually played the Chinese server for a long time before this, but I always went to the Eye of the Storm alone. I have never met another person in Hongshiyu, and I even have the understanding that "you can only go to the eye of the storm alone." Seeing another person here was a bit surprising, but maybe it was just a passerby, I thought to myself. However, unexpectedly, the passerby suddenly made a "walk forward" movement. Just such a weak communication intention and understanding, suddenly they are no longer passers-by but companions, and it becomes a natural situation to enter together.

I also thought about it later, was this a chance encounter, or was there someone waiting at the entrance of the cave to randomly meet a passerby and walk together? But no matter which one it is, it's not very important. The result was two people walking through a rain of red rocks. I don’t know the name of this passerby, but let’s call him “Big Brother” for the time being. Because even if I offer sacrifices, I am very Buddhist. I never remember the best route and always take care of where I go. The boss is obviously much more skilled, so I followed him on this route. The red stone rain fell intermittently over time. I usually walked around very casually, but this time in order to keep up with the big boss, I felt a lot of tension and courage to move forward. Maybe it’s the fastest I’ve ever run in the eye of a storm~

In such a harsh environment, you can especially feel the original intention of the game designer. Although I am a lone wolf player, the game designers encourage communication and mutual help among players. The children of light cannot replenish energy for themselves, but they can illuminate each other (is this also a metaphor between people?). So on the road with "two people", I was illuminated by many big people, and when he lost his energy, I quickly shouted to replenish his energy; whoever reached the candlestick first could light it quickly and give him energy. The latecomer has a little safe space; even if he is accidentally smashed into Xiao Hei by the red stone rain, another person can help him recover immediately. These are things that one cannot do alone.

Finally, we reached the almost dead-end area. The boss stopped here, waved to me, waved his arms, and bowed. Ah, I understand, this is saying "goodbye, goodbye" to me. In an instant, I understood why I wanted to say goodbye here. When the little prince left the earth, he hoped that the pilot would not look at his appearance, because it looked terrible. Although he was not really dead, it would make his loved ones sad. Further on here is a very tragic, painful scene, leading to death, and maybe it would be better not to see each other. After all, is life the same? There is nothing better than being able to accompany each other for a while, warm each other, trust and help each other in the process. But only death can only be faced by oneself.

After bidding farewell to the boss, I began to stagger in the endless rain of red stones, and was quickly smashed into a small black. There is no best route, just wherever you go. The number of light wings dropped to zero, and they were trapped and turned into stone. The vision gradually dimmed and the sound disappeared. This was probably some kind of "last moment of life".

Then something unexpected happened - to this day I don't know, was this some kind of canned cutscene, or was it something real? ——Beside the little black that my photon turned into, another little black appeared, leaned over and hugged my little black, and together they turned into stone.

Is this why you can often see rocks hugging each other in the eye of a storm? I had some guesses, but seeing such a scene with my own eyes was still very shocking.

After that, the soul in the darkness walked alone, was reborn, and flew to the light again, and the road to rebirth began. While flying, I suddenly heard someone else's cry. Cognition is once again impacted - can there be others on the road to rebirth?

When I looked over, I saw that it was none other than the boss QAQ (obviously I could only see the outline of 233). Then, it was really the posture of two pure white souls, and they started yelling at each other. Ah, I’m really happy to meet again like this. Although there are many things I want to express, I actually don’t know what they are. What's more, the photons can't speak at all, they can only bark and use body language. Then the boss bowed to me and I returned the bow. Ah, this time must be a real farewell.

Then we slid and flew one after another, each completing the road to rebirth. By the time I reached the door of rebirth, he was no longer there. Bye now. I think, in this game, we will never meet again.

What is very strange is that even with such a companion, until the end, we did not apply for friends with each other, and we did not say a word in human language (in the international server, it is difficult to tell which country the other party's language is. ). I'm a little curious whether the last little black man before rebirth was the boss, but maybe the picture he saw from his perspective is different from mine. This is a memory that is unique to me. I think the boss is probably an I person like me, and he is also a player who abides by the lone wolf code more strictly than me. So meeting and parting like this can be done naturally, and I am a little envious of such a free and easy way. Because next time I go to sacrifice alone (and most likely I will be alone in the future), I will probably feel a little lonely when I think of this experience.

However, I am still very grateful to the game. As an I, I will never take any actions in reality, but I can still take a little action in the game, and I have such a wonderful experience. Not my imagination, but actually meeting someone somewhere in this world and walking a short distance together. In the national server, "Light Encounter" is interpreted as "Just meeting is beautiful." I thought it was a bit far-fetched before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed true.

(Perhaps when I look back in the future, I will think it was an experience in a dream, so when I still remember it, I tried to record it in words ~ So it became the first article of this blog. I also thank NS for having a screen recording function, although it is Low blur quality XD
