Chapter 217 Act of Justice
Kang Tainian ran to the center of the city and asked Tomson to gather all the citizens. Then he stepped onto the high platform and bowed his head deeply to the others.
"Please, everyone, please give us a helping hand! Your sacrifice is for a better tomorrow."
"The time when the blood beast has been blocked is when we are about to resist that beast. The time has come."
"Please stand up like you did in the past! Please! Everyone!"
After saying that, he raised his head eagerly, but was shocked to find that people's reaction was not as he expected, or it was far beyond his expectation.
"Why do you do such a thing? Isn't this life bad now?" A middle-aged man with a dissatisfied face muttered.
"The White God will punish us, my child. It's not too late to ask for forgiveness immediately."
An old man bowed respectfully to the sky and looked here with extremely dissatisfied eyes.
"Why don't you die? I want to continue living." A young man stuck out his tongue, his eyes filled with disdain.
Kang Tainian stared blankly at the crowd of excited people who surrounded him. The feeling of everyone working together to face the blood beast in his mind could not help but turn into a deep chill at this moment.
Tomson watched this scene and sighed deeply.
Back then, for the sake of the future of mankind, people voluntarily lost their memories, leaving only a few people in the end able to "awake". That plan indeed saved people from being frightened all day long and allowed them to reproduce normally.
Things change at any time, new people never understand the past, and people who have forgotten the past are also annihilated by life, and the water chestnuts in their hearts have been wiped out by life, becoming 'ordinary', and living as ordinary people.
Since 'don't remember', it can't be called 'betrayal'. Tomson takes this as a matter of course.
They are a minority in this society. Those people are the mainstream in today's world. Even many of them are quite dissatisfied with this and think that they deserve better treatment.
"Xiaokang, I've said it before. It's not good to force others. Facing a path that seems to be extremely twists and turns and full of dangers, if we don't take the initiative to walk on it, how can we make others feel safe to follow us?"
“Isn’t that what the so-called role model does?”
Just when Kang Tainian was at a loss and Tang Xian sighed repeatedly, a clear voice sounded, accompanied by light footsteps, and the two followed the sound.
"I Juexin..." Kang Tainian muttered, his expression a little stunned.
Yu Juexin, the eldest son of Yu Zehao, the famous dean of Qingjing College, has been smart and witty since he was a child. He has been known as a talented person. He has been praised by many elders. His reputation in the college is even higher than that of Kang Tainian, and he is recognized as such. Dean's heir.
He has a square face with a particularly soft expression, and there is a little smile in his eyes, but his face is a little pale.
Yu Juexin walked slowly to the stage, gently patted Kang Tainian's shoulder with one hand, covered his chest with the other hand, and gave Tang Chen a warm smile.
The latter responded with a solemn expression. Kang Tainian stood there blankly, looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but ask questions.
"You shouldn't be negotiating with other regimes outside during this period..."
"It's over." Yu Juexin smiled lightly and turned around with a calm expression to face the people with different expressions.
"Everyone, will you listen to me?" His gentle words silenced everyone. Compared to Kang Tainian, who was obsessed with the law all day long, Yu Juexin, who usually served the people, made them feel more at ease. .
"Brother Yu, let us listen to what you say. Can you tell us why you asked us to die for no reason?"
"That's right, Xiao Yu, please explain it carefully."
People suppressed their anger and looked at each other with solemn eyebrows. Yu Juexin raised his hand, and everyone stopped talking. He had a always harmonious smile on his face.
"This matter has been said to take a long time, but now we don't have that much time, so I will make it short."
Yu Juexin's eyes became serious, and he looked directly at everyone in the audience.
"Shouldn't you be surprised? Why do we support the so-called 'White God' and 'Blood God'? Aren't we supposed to live freely in this world?"
"Every day someone around us dies. Today it's you, tomorrow it's him, it's not surprising even if I die one day."
The expressions of everyone in the audience turned sad, mixed with weak wry smiles.
"This is not normal!" Yu Juexin said resolutely, his eyes very determined.
"I don't want to die, and I believe you don't want to die either. If we face death a hundred years from now, we will have no regrets, because we have lived a good life, but now..."
Yu Juexin looked around at everyone and said coldly: "No!"
"If someone wants our lives, I will just fight with all my strength."
"It's okay to die, but you can't die by its hands!"
"I am fearless. When I don't even care about my life, it is destined that no one can block my way forward."
"It is inevitable to fear death, and it is human nature to cherish the good things, but there will always be a time when you need to die..."
"The result is the same for you?! Are you just like that guy who only tells us to die?!" A young boy cried and roared at Yu Juexin, his voice full of grievances.
"We believe you so much! Is this what you do?!"
The eyes of the adults around him also became cold and solemn, looking at this side coldly, their eyes filled with distrust.
Facing everyone's questioning looks, Yu Juexin turned around silently and looked at Kang Tainian, his eyes full of expectation. He patted the other person's shoulder with one hand, and then smiled at Kang Tainian.
"From now on, it's up to you."
He closed his eyes and leaned back with a satisfied expression. Before Kang Tainian could react, there were exclamations and screams from the audience.
Yu Juexin fell on the stage, with his hands on both sides, and blood was flowing out from his chest. Tang Chen ran to the other party, looking eager to give first aid, but he opened the other party's clothes, but It was found that there were already dense holes inside.
Obviously before the other party came on stage... Tang Chen was filled with shock. Did the other party force himself to the stage?
At this moment, several light screens appeared in the sky, and scenes were revealed on them, which were people from all over the world.
There was a black-haired man dressed as an elite, an honest-looking white-haired farmer, a smiling blonde girl wearing a pink skirt, Schneider, Ben, and... Yu Zehao with a heavy face.
"We will never force others to sacrifice, so you can just watch." Yu Zehao's voice was a little cold, and his eyes were full of sorrow when he looked at the scene here.
Then they began to say goodbye.
The elite man waved goodbye to his wife and daughter, then calmly took out a small bottle, drank it in one gulp and fell to the ground.
The farmer held the certificate of his son's admission to college in his hand. He smiled with joy. Then he took out a sharp awl, opened his clothes, and put it through.
The girl walked on a path, lowered the brim of her white hat, and said goodbye to the empty house behind her. Then she walked farther and farther, and jumped down at the end.
And on the other side.
"The 146th test begins" was a calm and slightly trembling voice-over.
Schneider straightened his tie, put on his favorite top hat, and walked into the distance with a short staff in hand. The screen stretched, and there was a mountain range with lush trees in front of him, and there was a faint high-pitched sound coming from within.
He was wearing a thin shirt and a pair of simple trousers, with his hair shaved off. He looked particularly intimidating compared to his extremely strong body. He caught up with the former in a few steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Then I have to move forward too." The voice-over revealed the figure, and Yu Zehao revealed his face. He was neatly dressed, with white hair and beard, and walked toward the two figures with a slightly heavy pace.
"You're not the only one..." Tang Chen said slowly, looking at Yu Juexin with an expression full of regret.
Kang Tainian stared at this scene blankly, and remembered what the figure said. He couldn't last long, so someone had to help him bear some of the pressure.
"We are in a hurry. We have to kill the blood beast before the peacock reacts, and then deal with each other together. The people from the institute are analyzing the materials left by Agel."
A gentle voice sounded in Kang Tainian's ears. It was Downton's voice, and then came various voices from researchers.
"Listen, their sacrifices are meaningful, Agel, no, it should be said that the white mist can last longer. We need more people to die to maintain No. 1's sanity."
"Dr. Ager is indeed very thoughtful. He believes that since we cannot use technology to replicate the real 'White Mist', then we can imitate the other party's characteristics to create a plausible White Mist. He succeeded."
"He uses himself as an experiment and makes himself a basic structure of the white mist. Then he can use the characteristics of the white mist to infect all substances in this world, which is the reappearance of the white mist!"
"But after all, he is only a human being. Bai Wu itself is an unconscious existence. Being the leader is like a mayfly shaking a tree, which is impossible. Therefore, he will gradually lose his humanity and forget the past."
"Not as Agger, but as Baiwu, that's why he calls himself No. 1, because the moment he became Baiwu..."
"Ager is dead. What exists here is just a fake that has no real form. This is very dangerous because we have no means to stop him."
"Once he gives up his persistence as Agel, he will target us, because he is the unconscious 'white mist', the murder weapon that destroys all biospheres."
"By then, not only peacocks, but also blood beasts and even our world will have fallen, so someone must die to maintain his sanity."
"No. 1 also understands this. Based on Ager's thinking, he proposed a game. Our dead souls are responsible for guarding the living people, and they rely on the game to maintain their humanity and understand the various aspects of life, which is reincarnation. "
"If a soul reaches its limit, it will be reincarnated into the world they are guarding, live a peaceful life, and choose to guard again before death, or die here."
"This mechanism can effectively delay their service life. It can be said that Dr. Ager has considered all aspects, so we cannot admit defeat."
"Our people pretended to be ordinary citizens and then died calmly to inspire the remaining people. This is a conspiracy, indeed a conspiracy we all agree on"
"What we do is righteous, there is no doubt about it!"
Kang Tainian listened to the discussions of the researchers and saw people constantly dying calmly in the pictures, or going to the peacock's location to interfere with the other party. He felt complicated and confused. Can this really be considered justice? !
