readx;?“ Serial number?" the office worker asked confusedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's right, serial number. The girl in the baseball cap nodded, "Haven't you noticed yet, this game has a time limit." So, even if we succeed in sacrificing only one person in each metal cylinder, we may not be able to reach the final destination on time. If we go too slow, we can't do it – so we have to make sure that the survivors are fast enough. ”

"That kind of thing can't be determined by you just talking about it. Xie Dingnan said, "How do you know who will survive to the end?"

"Let me put it another way. The girl in the baseball cap held her forehead, as if she felt sad for the stupidity of the man, "Have you heard of the barrel theory? The amount of water a barrel can hold does not depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank. Now everyone has to march together, like planks tied together. Only if we throw away the shortest planks can we go faster. ”

If you want to pass through the metal cylinder together during the stiff period of the metal cylinder's cannibalism, it means that everyone must be together before they reach the metal cylinder, which means that no one can be left behind. In this way, the slowest person in the team represents the speed of the whole team.

But people are not planks.

"So we have to put out a serial number, so as to ensure that people who run fast and have good physical strength do not sacrifice, so that the mechanism of survival will be higher. "In the pack, the sick and the old are the reserve food for the other wolves when things are scarce. Ants roll over in clumps when surrounded by fire. I think we should also learn from their sacrifices. The slowest runner sacrifices himself to help everyone move forward. Otherwise, maybe no one will be able to pass this trial. ”

"Are you going to let the slowest runner die?" asked the office worker, with a pale face.

"It's not about dying, it's about making the final contribution to everyone. ”

"That's not the same. Do you want to decide the life and death of someone else with your words?

"Don't make me think like a wicked person, I'm doing this for everyone's good!" said the girl in the baseball cap impatiently, "haven't you figured out the situation yet? I think it's a good thing if they use their mortal lives to make some value for everyone. ”

The crowd fell silent.

"Besides, it's not my fault. The girl in the baseball cap shrugged her shoulders and said, "If you run slowly, shouldn't it be your own fault? I don't rely on my likes and dislikes to decide the lives and deaths of others. ”

“…… However, no matter how you say it, it is life. I think at least let the person decide for himself. The office worker said hesitantly. Having lived in modern society for more than 30 years, he has deeply engraved the concept of human rights in his brain. All people enjoy the right to freedom and equality in life, person, political, economic, social, cultural and other aspects, and the right to life and health is inviolable.

"I don't want to see anyone die. The girl in the baseball cap spread her hands helplessly, and I couldn't tell from this action whether she was sincere or not, "Don't blame me. It's this damn rule, this trial, this god that makes them die. If you have to resent anyone, hate God. ”

She was right that the source of all this was not any one person, but a damned God. No one has to carry anything for this, because we can't protect ourselves. But of course, we trialists can't go to God's trouble, and we don't even know where it is. The girl in the baseball cap approached the office worker and gave an uncomfortable-looking smile.

"You don't have to worry too much, I see that you are still young and in good health. You won't be the first to sacrifice yourself. ”

"You ......," the office worker hesitated, "what about you?"

"I was in the middle of the pack in school. However, the students who have physical education classes every day are better than the others. Besides, I'm in charge of ordering everyone, so I can't die so early. So I'm not the first person in line. Actually, don't we have people hurt here?"

The girl in the baseball cap turned her gaze to the girl in glasses.

"Do you mean to let me be eaten by that metal monster?" Glasses Girl spoke out as she noticed that everyone was staring at her. She looked rather calm.

"That's right. ”

"Even if I read the rules for you before?"

"We're all grateful to you for reading the rules. The girl's face in the baseball cap remained unchanged, as if she had long thought that the girl with glasses would ask such a rhetorical question, "To be honest, from my selfish point of view, I really don't want you to be the first to sacrifice." But actually, your eyesight is pretty bad right now. Can you run in this state? I think it's hard to walk. ”

“……”

"Even if we really thank you for wanting to take you forward, the end result is just that everyone dies together. Do you think that's appropriate?" said the girl in the baseball cap, "It's not that I'm going to let you die, it's everyone's wish." If you are willing to think about it, when you find that you are injured and cannot complete the whole process, you should offer self-sacrifice. ”

The glasses girl's body trembled, but she didn't make a sound. Ever since she was beaten by the man in black, the girl with glasses hasn't argued for herself. Did he finally wake up to the fact that in this cruel trial, all doctrine and etiquette were ineffective? In society, the disadvantaged groups can show their pity and helplessness, win sympathy, and gain an advantage in public opinion. But exposing one's vulnerability here can only lead to destruction.

At this moment, a voice that had been silent for a long time sounded.

"Leave her alone, let me try. ”

The person who spoke was a doctor, and there was an uproar in the air, and I didn't expect the doctor to take the initiative to stand up. Did he really want to sacrifice himself?" the glasses girl narrowed.

"I was also injured in the previous fight, and according to you, I took the initiative and offered to sacrifice myself. The doctor said indifferently, "And I just happen to have something I want to test." ”

"Is that good?" the girl in the baseball cap looked around at the people around her, "There are a lot of people here who want to rely on you." ”

"But I'm going to walk very slowly, and I don't know how much time I'm going to waste. ”

"But you've done a lot for everyone. ”

"Then it's the same with this girl with glasses, I can't be special. ”

"Isn't that like I'm going to let you die?"

"It's not that you want me to die, it's that people want me to do it. I myself feel that something should be done for everyone. ”

The conversation between the two of them left me dumbfounded.

What's going on, the girl in the baseball cap, who had been forcing the glasses girl to sacrifice herself for various reasons, was like a different person, and began to constantly dissuade the doctor. And the doctor refuted the baseball cap girl's previous reasons one by one.

The girl in the baseball cap, who had ended the conversation, nodded as if relieved.

"So this is your voluntary sacrifice?"

"Exactly. The doctor nodded and said, "And I'm not going to die." As I said, I just have something I want to experiment. ”

"If you think that the metal cylinder will stop eating people after eating a person, I advise you not to be so naïve. ”

"Anyway, I want to try. That meets your requirements, doesn't it?"

The girl in the baseball cap looked at the doctor with cold eyes.

I suddenly understood her intentions. Although she had always been vicious to the glasses girl before, in fact, she was really afraid of the doctor. If the glasses girl can be killed, then the doctor will be the next one to die. The baseball cap girl was now in charge of the thirty-six men, and if she could maintain that position, she could arrange for the others to die one by one. The person who is responsible for the sorting, the person who leads everyone can live to the end, and the baseball cap girl naturally does not want to give up this position. Although the doctor did not say that he wanted to compete with her for this position, the girl in the baseball cap decided to prevent it.

I couldn't help but frown. I didn't expect to see the ugly posture of the feudal dynasty vying for power and profit here. The crown prince who was named **** will also kill the emperor of the previous generation for the sake of power - the baseball cap girl is doing the same thing now. I now understand why I was so disgusted with her claims. Although her words are reasonable, it is all based on the premise that the first person to die is not her. It's like a senior officer who sends a young soldier into battle: no matter how righteous their call is, it's someone else who actually fights, and the officers just have to stay at the headquarters and give orders.

The crowd that remained at the starting line began to move, and the doctor walked first with his chest held up and his head up. He walked hard, but he seemed very calm. The girl in the baseball cap looked closely at the doctor's back behind him, not knowing what she was thinking. The rest of the air followed, but no one dared to walk within three steps of the doctor. The girl with glasses looked at us, and she didn't move. I thought about it and thought to myself, if she followed, she would be the next to die. However, she never set off, and when the trial was over, she was naturally the last one, or she still had to die.

It's just that she can live a little longer without us.

I couldn't help but smile wryly. What the hell, it turns out that what is more dangerous for the girl with glasses is not the trial, not the metal cylinder, but those of us who are like her. I felt as if I had grasped something, but I didn't think of anything. At this time, Riko handed over the coat I had put on her. It seems that her clothes should have dried during this time in the hall. I thought it would be hard to exercise in semi-dry clothes, but Riko was indifferent.

"You can throw this coat on the ground, I think it's just a burden to run for a while. ”

My hand that took Riko's coat stopped in mid-air.

"Sulfona?"

"That ......" I just felt a tingling in my throat and could barely form a complete sentence, "how are you feeling right now?"

"How's it going?" Riko tilted her head in confusion, "I think it's okay." ”

"Then you'd better put your clothes on. Anyway, we don't have to run even if we set off, and if you don't exercise, you'll still be cold in wet clothes. ”

Riko took the coat and looked at me for a while.

"Strange Sulfona. ”

I watched as the coat covered Riko's back, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. You can see her skin directly through the cracks in Riko's back clothes. It wasn't a big deal, it didn't matter if I walked in such a life-and-death place, but I went and saw that inside the crack was a chaotic thing mixed with various colors.

That's where Riko was illuminated before.

At first, it was just about the size of a cherry, like a sticky tattoo, but now it's not something so cute at all. The colorful foreign object was quietly growing before Riko knew it, and now it was the size of a palm. Riko herself doesn't seem to know that she has such a thing behind her, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable, but I know in my heart that this spot of light is dangerous. As long as the air is illuminated by the sun, people will die, and what if this spot of light spreads all over Riko's body?
