Chapter 12 Only after we have recognized this
The doctor walked over with some embarrassment, and the rest followed, and everyone gathered around the girl with glasses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you alright? The doctor asked softly, and he was the only one who was better able to speak. I thought that the girl with glasses would spit out something mean, but she only shook her head slightly.
"I'm fine, monsters only attack people in the hallway anyway. I'm in the hall, and that's okay. The girl with glasses said calmly, "Compared to this, we should read the rest of the rules to the end, at least we can't die without knowing it anymore." ”
Everyone was silent, and the words of the glasses girl were correct. Even if I had to die, I wanted to know why I was dead. The doctor stared at the bespectacled girl and paused, then shrugged her shoulders. Once again, the cowardly workers took on the task of preaching. He was forgiven for failing to protect the glasses girl, because everyone had forgotten about the glasses girl at that time. The men in black and the doctor faction all gathered around, and the two factions seemed to have unconsciously formed some kind of consensus and formed a state of alliance.
"At the moment when the first person completes the migration, the judges will naturally reflect their inner order. ”
"There has to be a screening here, and only the top half will be able to complete the trial. ”
"Anything else?" the doctor asked, pushing his glasses.
"No more. There are only six sentences in total, and then they are repeated from the first sentence. ”
After the glasses girl finished saying the final rule, everyone fell silent.
The full text is as follows:
1. The outlier, fearing being pierced by the light, swaps places with his own shadow. This perverted and deranged behavior will surely be judged. The scales of black and white always swing, giving equal weight to wisdom and strength.
2. All things should be in their proper place, and the judge must complete a migration. It is only when they recognize themselves that the door opens and the migration begins.
Third, you need to be careful, there are difficulties and obstacles on the way to migration. Only those who are cautious and careful can go to the end. And don't forget that the three demons who wander in terror and covet people's lives.
Fourth, fairness and justice are absolutely guarded. When outliers embark on the path of migration, no one else can interfere in their path. Everyone must move forward on their own will. The migration is absolute, and the steps that have been sold must not be reversed.
5. God is merciful, but not everyone can be saved. If no one completes the migration before the sun goes down, then everyone will fall into nothingness.
6. At the moment when the first person completes the migration, the judges will naturally reflect their inner order. There has to be a screening here, and only the top half will be able to complete the trial.
The rules of this trial are already obvious by the end - it's a "race". The most important thing in this race is not to catch up with anything, but to run faster than the remaining half. This can't help but be reminiscent of the story of two hunters and bears. When the hunters are chased by a bear, they are not allowed to run faster than the bear, they just have to try to outrun the other hunter. Such indiscriminate tactics such as dragging the feet may be proliferated. In order to prevent this, the trial deliberately made a statement.
- Fairness and justice are absolutely guarded. When outliers embark on the path of migration, no one else can interfere in their path. Everyone must move forward on their own will. The migration is absolute, and the steps that have been sold must not be reversed.
This means that no one can interfere with each other and stop others from moving forward. However, this aspect of the rules is somewhat intriguing.
"What do you mean by interference?" asked Riko in a whispered question.
Yes, different interpretations of the word interference have different consequences. Of course, your desperate attempt to hold on to someone else's foot and not let someone else move forward is a clear interference. But what if you don't use physical contact, but words? If the man in black yells at you and doesn't let you go forward, I think most of the people here will stop. Even if they knew very well in their hearts that the man in black would not dare to really fight, they would definitely be affected in their actions. In addition, if Mr. Yamada, who always says "it doesn't matter", stands in front of us, I will definitely be blocked by his figure, is this also a kind of "interference"?
"There may be interference that is not malicious. Riko said thoughtfully, "For example, if my foot is sprained, and someone pulls me forward, is this considered interference?"
"Perhaps this interference can be forgiven from the perspective that 'fairness and justice are absolutely guarded'. I thought about it and said.
"What about unintentional interference?" asked Riko, "Let's say I ran too fast and fell to the ground. At this time, the person behind me tripped over my body, is this a kind of interference?"
"I think it's an accident, and it would be a shame if it was punished as a violation. At this point, another question suddenly came to my mind, "And there doesn't seem to be any explanation of the penalties for violations." ”
"Is it just elimination? I think this kind of punishment is too absolute. ”
"Maybe it's a punishment for running from the beginning. I said.
"It's almost the same as being wiped out. Riko said.
"Maybe there are a lot of fouls, so it's not a big deal to start from scratch. I stared at the crowd around me and said, "If everybody who runs to the first place can deliberately foul once, then maybe this race will go on forever......"
"That's impossible. Riko shook her head, "You see, the rules say that if no one completes the migration before the sun goes down, then everyone will fall into nothingness. This shows that there is still a deadline for this race. ”
"But how do we know exactly when the sun goes down?"
I looked around, and while there were LED screens and killer robots, there weren't any time-related markers. No clocks, no timers. We don't even know if it's midnight, early in the morning or in the afternoon. The biological clock of every air man caught in this trial is in a state of disorder. So how do we know when this race will end?
Something seemed to flash through my mind, but the speculation made me shiver from my heart. Riko seemed to see that I was not looking good, and she tried to smile at me.
"Don't be in a hurry, Sulfona. Those complicated things can be left to someone else to think about. Like, the doctor. ”
"But didn't you say that doctors can't be trusted? Besides, I don't think it's good to leave these things to someone else......
Riko gave me a somewhat sly smile.
"I mean, doctors are the ones who are most distressed right now. ”
I looked at the doctor and he had wrinkles on his forehead. I've never seen him so bothered before, as if her height has also shortened. No, it's not like, he's really getting shorter. In fact, although he tried to stand, his right leg could not be straightened. I remembered that when he fought the man in black before, he seemed to have suffered a lot of leg injuries. Everyone is concerned about the wound on the face of the girl with glasses, but the doctor may also have a serious injury. However, because the leg was wrapped in clothes and could not be seen, and the doctor himself could treat himself, it was not known whether the wounds would affect the doctor's actions. If the doctor can't run smoothly now, then he may be in a very disadvantageous position.
- At the moment when the first person completes the migration, the judges will naturally reflect their inner order. There has to be a screening here, and only the top half will be able to complete the trial.
The air people here are young and old, but most of them are between the ages of 15 and 45. People in this age group can definitely outrun a person with a leg injury if they work hard. The rules strictly prohibit everyone from interfering with each other. If the doctor's wound is really serious, he may be on the verge of "disappearing". That's what Riko said, and doctors will definitely study the rules more carefully than we do. If he can't decipher something special from the rules, he can say that he is certain to die.
However, the doctor never spoke again. The man in black shrugged his shoulders and began to move, as if he was ready to sprint. At this time, there was also a subtle change in the crowd. As far as the rules are concerned, the man in black with strong physical ability has no intention of being more reliable than the doctor, and coupled with the fact that the doctor is now silent and has no leader's demeanor at all, many people are beginning to favor the man in black. In fact, about a third of the people are now following the doctor, and another third are around the man in black, and the rest choose to be neutral and not fight. Many people were thinking about the man in black laughing and talking, but the man in black didn't bother to pay attention to them. The glasses girl was carefully picked up from the metal cylinder by several people, and the middle-aged man who was speaking for her was following her with a sad face. Riko and I were in a neutral state, and the girl in the baseball cap hesitated for a while, but also chose neutrality. I thought that the male high school student would choose to be neutral or go to the man in black, but I didn't expect him to follow the doctor closely. The doctor didn't care about the people behind him, he was still thinking silently.
At this moment, the metal door that had been closed under the LED lights roared and then slowly opened. Behind the gate is a long corridor, like the one where the tracksuit man died before. The floor of the cloister is paved with black and white tiles, like mosaic frescoes in ancient Rome. Like the previous cloister, there are many metal cylinders that reflect a bright white sheen. The air was silently staring at the scene, and the smell of tension gradually filled the air. Everyone understands that the trial really begins. I knew I should be ready to run now, but I couldn't help but think of a rule that the girl with glasses had decoded.
- All things should be in their rightful place, and the judged must complete a migration. It is only when they recognize themselves that the door opens and the migration begins.
What is it that makes this closed door open? Is it because we recognize ourselves? I try to remember what happened before the door was opened, and what was decisive for us to recognize ourselves. Everyone was transported to the hall, and then the man in black touched the mechanism, and a metal cylinder appeared. No, it was a long time after touching the mechanism, and the door was not opened. Then it was the girl in glasses who began to decipher the rules, and in the process there was an incident of a man in a tracksuit. Is it possible that the door is open because we all know the rules? But the corners of the man in black's mouth kept playing back in my mind.
- There is no "before the trial" at all, the trial has already begun.
We are nothing but toys of the gods, dead things that are not worth cherishing. We know this, but we have never confronted it, let alone recognized it. It wasn't until the sportswear man died that we realized that it would be us who died if we were a little careless. Whether trials begin or not, our lives are worthless. Only when we recognize this will the door open and the trial begin.
