Paul's face became more and more painful, and he waved at us vigorously, telling us to stop talking.

"Paul, now that the safety of the people is in our hands, we must face this problem. I said.

Paul didn't speak for a long time, just buried his head in his knees.

"Qingyang is right, there are only three of us men, and we have to face it. John said.

Paul finally raised his head slowly, his eyes full of sadness.

"I just can't figure out why, why can I eat people?" said Paul, shaking his head.

"When I was in college, there was a classmate who couldn't fold quilts or do laundry, and there were always some people in this world who basically didn't have the ability to take care of themselves. I said.

"But even then you can't kill people, eat people?" Paul said.

"They don't have the hunting tools we have, they don't make traps, and they basically don't have the ability to get food, so the people around them have become the easiest food to get. I said.

"Isn't it all the more important to help each other in such a hostile environment?" Paul said.

"You forgot how we got out of the coconut grove? You forgot how we got out of the caves, and the harsher the environment, the more obvious the ugliness of human nature. I said.

Paul stared at me blankly, as if it wasn't me in front of him.

"Paul, Qingyang is telling the truth, although the truth is cruel, but this is what we have to experience. John said.

"I know, I know, I'm just a little hard to accept. Paul said with a wry smile.

"What would you do if another group of people were going to attack us, if they were going to kill us?" John asked.

Paul froze, he didn't expect John to ask so directly, as if the little kindness in his heart had become a sin in this jungle.

"I will protect myself, maybe I will kill them, but I will not kill people for the sake of cannibalism. Paul said through gritted teeth.

"He kills people to eat, and if we kill people, it's to protect ourselves, in fact, we all want to live, but we haven't lost our humanity. I said.

Perhaps Paul listened to this, and the expression on his face was no longer so painful, and his brow gradually relaxed.

"The problem now is that the existence of that person seriously threatens us. John said with a frown.

"Do you want to kill him?" Paul said.

"Paul, it's not that we want to kill him, it's that he could kill us at any time, these women often go into the woods, and if they fall into his hands..."

"Don't say it, I can't do it. Paul said.

There is always a big gap between imagination and reality, and everyone can do it in the face of what is possible and possible.

John and I looked at each other, and it seemed that the two of us had to do this.

The long conversation ended unhappily, and the three of us couldn't sleep all night, and I could hear Paul sigh and hear John turn over and toss.

It wasn't until the stupid bird cried again, that John and I got up at the same time as we stared at the blood-red eyes, and Paul sat up suddenly.

"Are you really going?" asked Paul, grimacing.

John and I didn't speak, just nodded at the same time, and Paul didn't say anything, lying down again, covering his head with a sleeping bag.

I looked at John and walked out with my weapon in hand.

We walked very slowly on the familiar road, because the pace was so heavy, I never thought that one day I would kill people.

We are already moving very slowly, but we are getting closer and closer to the goal, in fact, we are contradictory, we don't want to take this step, so that it seems that if we go slower, things will not happen.

"If you really can't do it, I'll do it. John said suddenly.

I knew that this stout man was not a bloodthirsty man, and I could see the tenderness inside this solid shell on a daily basis, and I knew that he had the courage to say such a thing.

"No, I'll do it, since I brought it up. I said with a wry smile.

John's eyes changed a little more when he looked at me, we all know that this decision is not easy, and it is even more difficult to do this, to say that he only admired me before, then from this moment on, he has respect for me.

Now that they had made up their minds, the two of them quickened their pace, but when they came to the entrance of the cave, they still made us shudder.

The man, covered in blood, was standing at the entrance of the cave, still holding a hand in his hand, and he was desperately gnawing at the moment.

The most terrible thing is the smile on his face, I don't know if the devil really exists, but maybe the man in front of me at the moment is what the devil looks like.

John patted me gently, and I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled my senses back to reality.

I took my bow and arrow, raised it slowly, and aimed it at the man's heart.

But I couldn't let go, and a voice inside me told me that I couldn't do it.

I lowered my arms slowly, the tight bowstring slowly loosened, and I lowered my head and looked at the ground, even though I had made up my mind all night, but I still had a hard time to start.

But at this moment, the man suddenly lowered the rope ladder and quickly climbed down.

The sound of rope ladders and rock walls alarmed me, and I looked up quickly, and John also looked at me, could it be that he had spotted us?

The man quickly got off the ground, and was walking in the direction we were, his eyes already hollow, and he didn't see any emotion.

Seeing the man getting closer and closer, the bow in my hand instinctively lifted again, and the man finally saw us.

I let out a beastly howl from my mouth, waving my arms at me, gritting my teeth, and releasing my bowstring even as the man was five paces away from me.

My arm strength has improved a lot from these days of exercise, and the arrow shot straight through the man's chest.

The man slowly fell backwards, I don't know if he was really slow, or if my gaze was fixed.

I don't know if it was my delusion, or if the man really smiled at me.

I don't know if it was my delusion, or if the man's eyes regained their charm again.

I instinctively stepped forward, the man fell to the ground and did not die immediately, then I saw his face clearly, it was real, he was laughing, not my delusion.

The man's eyes were no longer empty, and now their eyes returned to color, and they saw him move his mouth at me.

I hurried closer, and I finally heard the man's voice.

"Thank you..."

When I heard these two words, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, and when I looked up again, the man was gone, but he still had a smile on his face and his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

I slowly straightened up, tears couldn't stop flowing, I always thought that such a murderous and cannibalistic man, he was a demon, it turned out that he just didn't have the courage to be freed, but he wanted to live.

My understanding of human nature is a little distorted at this moment, and I believe that what I see between life and death is real, but this reality is a little unbearable for me.

I just felt tightness in my chest, I couldn't breathe, and I had to half-kneel on the ground.

John hurriedly stepped forward to help me, and it took me a long time before I gradually regained my senses.

"Let's bury him. I whispered.

"Good. John didn't say a word.

"I think—" I said, looking up into the cavern.

"Forget it," John said.

I already had a picture of the cave in my mind, but I wasn't sure if I really had the courage to face it, so I took John's advice.

The two of us found a place, but we buried the man I shot and killed, and as for the remains in the cave, let's leave them in the cave.

The two of them walked towards the residence with heavy steps, and when they came to the waterfall, I stood under the water and kept letting the current wash over me.

As if the current could take away the sin from my hands, I let the current lap in, but when I closed my eyes, I could see the dead man.

Especially the smile on his face, obviously smiling so innocently, he is indeed a man-eating demon.

I don't know if I'm strong enough inside to withstand this, but for now, I'm a bit too strong to bear.

Faintly I heard the call of a silly bird, and the sound of something entering the water, pulled me back to reality, and I hurried out of the waterfall.

It was already dark, and John was swimming towards me quickly.
