Chapter 331 The pressure is great
Real time AM01:36
Mo Tan, who took the initiative to disconnect, returned to the living room at home from Misha County. He put on his slippers and used the weak light on the game cabin to The bright light walked to the door and flicked the light switch...
A warm orange-yellow light bloomed in the center of the ceiling. , it was a bit dazzling, but the adaptation process was not as difficult as expected. Mo Tan blinked his eyes that he had subconsciously narrowed just now, walked slowly to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of happy water from it, and drank it. After drinking more than half of the bottle, I didn't feel any happiness as expected. Instead, I shivered from the cold, and an urge to hug the heater arose spontaneously.
He walked into the bathroom silently, went to the toilet, washed his face, and then stared in the mirror in a daze...
His dull eyes, messy hair, slumped shoulders, and unnaturally pale face all looked like he was half-dead. It had obviously been a long time since he had slept through the night, and he was in good shape before logging into the game today. But at this moment, the young man standing stupidly in the mirror looked like a seafood that had been squeezed out of the water, standing in front of the sink in a daze like a dried salted fish.
To be honest, it sucks.
[Obviously I just want to play games leisurely, fight monsters, gain blood, look at the scenery, do tasks, etc. Why is it like this...]
< br>Mo Tan gave himself a limited smile that was better than crying. He tried his best to smooth out a strand of hair on the left side of his head, then shuffled back to the living room, not even three points behind Cordoba. One's broad shoulders slumped even more.
“If you keep talking with such a face, no wonder you will be comforted in return.”
Mo Tan fell on the sofa in a posture commonly known as 'B city paralysis', and laughed dryly: "It turns out that my endurance is not as good as that of two girls. This is no longer a matter of emotion." The reason can be used to excuse him. He is obviously a loser with extremely poor psychological quality..."
There is still plenty of time before making an appointment with another group of people, so he slowly closed the door. He opened his eyes and tried to calm down his emotions as much as possible, as if he wanted to prove that his psychological quality could still be saved, but with little success.
An unpleasant negative emotion lingers in my mind, which cannot be let go or suppressed.
Although Mo Tan never thought that he was a sentimental person, he still couldn't help but think of Cordoba's plain-spoken messages, and thought of the scenes that he had not witnessed in person. The corresponding scenes I witnessed...
Thousands of living dead were wandering, hunting, and killing in the city. The panicked crowds were praying, crying, and running away. Those who stepped forward died, The desperate and trembling people died, the powerful people died, the ordinary people died, the martyrs died.
Men died, women died.
The old man died, the child died.
The leader who was full of humanity and noble character died, and the conscientious old city lord may be nailed to the pillar of shame in the future, paying for a mistake for which he was not responsible.
Unknown fear surged toward Mo Tan like a tide, squeezing him until he couldn't breathe...
[So what am I afraid of? 】
Lying on the sofa tiredly, Mo Tan scratched his hair angrily. He was angry with himself.
Afraid of death?
Maybe in reality, but not to mention that he is not so cowardly that he would not dare to die in the game, not to mention that Mo Tan's current location can be said to be the safest place in Misha County One, so it is absolutely impossible to have such a ridiculous reason.
Because it was too cruel a sacrifice?
Maybe a little bit, after all, this kind of tragedy that is almost close at hand is really enough to move people. After the last living person left, the whole city was turned into a curse in the blink of an eye. The resentment of the ground is simply unimaginable, but at this moment, Mo Tan somehow feels that he can understand, 'if this kind of thing happened to me', just thinking about it will make him feel some unreal grievance and resentment It echoes in the mind, but this is not a rare thing. It is just like the feeling when watching a terrorist's live broadcast of execution. Even though those who were brutally killed are not themselves, many people will inevitably have a feeling that does not belong to them out of thin air. Desperate, but this still doesn’t make sense...
The current Mo Tan is not a person with excessive sympathy, not even under the 'Lawful Good' personality. He will feel sad and unfair for those people, but this emotion will never evolve into being difficult to control. A sense of fear and oppression that almost suffocated him.
In this way, the answer seems to be ready.
"What scares me is responsibility..."
Mo Tan turned over and murmured with a wry smile, as if he was wondering why he didn't realize this until now After a while, I realized with hindsight that this was not something difficult to guess at all.
Yes, that is the responsibility he bears now.
After Xia Lian sent Mo Tan to the seemingly prestigious position of 'Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Forces', the mountain-like pressure never subsided, especially when he found that every thought he had would be reflected in the first place. After time is put into practice, each of your arrangements will be implemented without reservation, and your requirements will be completed without compromise, this pressure will become more real.
Unknowingly, Motan has become an axis, whether it is a paladin, an adventurer, a mercenary, a player, a commoner, or a revered saint. , an eccentric alchemist, and an emotional assassin all revolve around him.
And Mo Tan did not disappoint everyone, at least until now, so others began to believe in him and rely on him more and more.
After satisfying his vanity in a small way, the pressure that was several times greater than the former also followed...
But now Mo Tan, the 'black man' of Misha County Fan' is definitely not a person with strong ability to withstand pressure. In fact, just like himself As lamented, his psychological quality is so bad that when he was first wanted by the Internet in the name of BLACK, he would be so nervous that he couldn't eat when he switched to his current personality. Even if this concern is almost worthless compared to the means of self-protection. Even mentioning it couldn't completely put his mind at ease.
Taking half a step wrong will lead to immeasurable bad consequences. One mistake will destroy the trust of others. Any failure may make the situation that was finally put together in vain, and the soldiers may die in vain because of their own mistakes. , civilians may be massacred due to their own mistakes, and if there is the slightest mistake in any link, the tragedy in Fair City may happen again. God knows how it got to this point, but there is already too much life, trust, and hope. How could Mo Tan, who had a bad mentality and was forced to put his trust on him, not be afraid.
But the current situation in Misha County is not optimistic. Cordoba fed back the worst news that Mo Tan could think of. Based on the known intelligence, the number of monsters in the southern border seems to be huge. It has exceeded 10,000, and the combined force of the joint forces only has a few thousand people, and some of them are civilian volunteers who have never even touched a sword.
The source of the plague has not yet been revealed. The number of enemies far exceeds ours. Although some people have been integrated into the joint force, the quantity and quality are difficult to expect. The problem of frequent disconnections is even more unsolved...< br>
Even if they are the same person, it is difficult for 'Mo' and 'Tan Mo' in the world of innocence to help in this regard, so when the most trustworthy 'self' cannot be relied on , the feeling of being out of breath became even more obvious.
But this responsibility cannot be shied away. If you want to play as effective a role as possible, Mo Tan must continue to sit in this position. At least so far, his role is irreplaceable.
So, a bad vicious cycle...
Even if he could divert his attention intentionally or unintentionally before, the news of Fair City's destruction made Mo Tan seem to see the scene after his failure, and he even couldn't It needs to fail. As long as there is a slight oversight or the pace is just a little slower, this situation will happen a second or third time, and they will all become Mo Tan's responsibility. That's why he was afraid because he had already subconsciously deduced the outcome of this incident, and thus became one of the first people to know about the situation in the southern border with the ugliest expression. Recalling the expressions of Yuchen and Yuying when they looked at him before, they probably It's not that ugly.
Mo Tan smiled self-deprecatingly and sat up slowly. He had other things to do. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he couldn't help but look like this. Lying here in frustration, he was stupid. Thinking on the bright side, after switching personalities, his thoughts will be completely different from now. Although there is some suspicion of cheating, relieving stress in this way is the only thing he can do now. It's over.
Then, just when Mo Tan was about to let himself go, his phone suddenly vibrated.
I opened my eyes in confusion and looked down subconsciously...
'If you are in a bad mood, don't force yourself to work. Should you consider going to bed early today? And ah, and ah, Mo Tan, don’t think about letting yourself bear everything alone. I feel that you have pushed yourself too hard recently. It will be very hard if you push yourself too tight for a long time. This is true. It’s based on medicine (`)~~ Hey, although I don’t seem to have the qualifications to tell you, in short, it’s not right to take all the troubles on yourself (well, I said handsome words seriously, if I guessed wrong It’s so embarrassing Σ(っ°Д°;)っ, so even if it’s true, please pretend to be stupid! ), let’s work together (ω)! ’
The sender is someone who has exchanged contact information during the Chinese New Year, and who has been separated for less than ten minutes strictly speaking.
“Huh...really, what’s going on with this subtle frustration?”

……
Tianzhu Mountain, the Seventh Outer Mountain
Mo Tan appeared behind a cedar, or a cedar-like tree. He leaned out half of his body and took a look not far away, and sure enough he found Jadeka Three NPCs, Yaya, and Lu Wei were chatting with the two...a half-female player was standing near where she had logged off before, chatting about something. Next to her was a particularly familiar thing that looked like a warhead, talking to everyone. The "Absolute Safety Express" that I had boarded before, although it was a vehicle, had a strange "attack power" value, was no different.
[Bad premonition, but it should be an illusion caused by the previous psychological shadows. 】
After making a very rational judgment, Mo Tan walked out from behind the tree, raised his hand and shook it at the four people who looked back at him, and said apologetically: "Sorry for being late~ ”
Then there was a scene that everyone loved to see. Accompanied by a long ‘moow~~~’, Ya Ya’s signature flying attack hit Mo Tan straight away.
"I've been barking you for a long time!"
The excited dog girl hung most of her body on Mo Tan's shoulders, and while sniffing his ears affectionately, she said with a smile: "But barking is not barking late, barking Jiang. Just here too!”
“Hey, I skipped school and came here to see you off. Everyone." Lujiang, who didn't plan to go to Anka Market with everyone, smiled sheepishly, pinched the corner of his skirt and whispered: "Actually, I really want to go with you, but there are still Brother's matter..."
'I think Lujiang is almost more feminine than me. ’
The news about Ji Xiaoge’s friend flashed before Mo Tan’s eyes.
Lu Wei glanced at Yaya with some confusion and muttered in a low voice: "Why do I think this dog is atavistic?"
Jadeka nodded with deep sympathy: "What the master said is extremely "Yes."
"There will definitely be a chance in the future." Mo Tan smiled at Lu Jiang, and quickly gave Ji Xiaoge a sweaty expression, and held the back of Yaya's hand. The girl tore it off from her body, and finally walked to Lu Wei and bowed slightly: "It's so troublesome for you."
The latter rolled his eyes: "If you want to thank me, just thank Xiao Gezi. , If she didn't have to go with you, I wouldn't care about it."
Mo Tan turned around and bowed to Ji Xiaoge: "Thank you very much."
"Flat body." The girl stuck out her tongue playfully, then flapped her wings and flew to the cannonball next to Lu Wei...the vehicle, and knocked on the metal shell on it: "Not just the teacher, but also me. Part of the credit is in it.”
Lu Wei nodded solemnly: “Indeed, your sticky beans. Bao has indeed made some progress, but he must guard against arrogance and keep working hard.”
Motan/Lujiang/Jadeka: “…”
Ya Ya: “Ouch!”
When she just got next to Ji Xiaoge, she accidentally stuck her tail on a patch on the express and couldn't pull it off.
Ji Xiaoge's sticky bean buns have indeed improved a lot. Anyway, Mo Tan and Jadeka tried their best to save Ya Ya's tail. In the end, Master Lu used the epic quality [Super Super Super Super powerful instant solvent] allowed the dog girl who was on the verge of rage to successfully escape from the sea of suffering.
Then Mo Tan had time to take a good look at the thing in front of him that took Master Lu and Ji Xiaoge most of the day to save——
