Chapter 10: The Three Demons Who Prey on People's Lives
The voice of the person who spoke was too faint to notice. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe she'd said it a long time ago, but no one paid attention to herβbut that's the norm for airmen. There was a hint of reproach in the eyes of many people.
- Since we know Latin, we should have said it out loud earlier, or we wouldn't have been disciplined by the doctors.
People do not see the pressure exerted by doctors as the fault of doctors, nor do they think that the situation of "no one admitting" is a consequence of doctors' incompetence. They cast their resentment elsewhere. I sat in the corner of the class all the time, so I could see it all from the perspective of a bystander. I was back in a class group and became the air man in the class again.
But these people did not speak out about the blame.
The doctor turned his head and looked at the bespectacled girl beside him in surprise. She leaned against the wall, bruised and bruised. As if to make it easier to speak, she removed part of the bandage wrapped around her face. A mixture of saliva and blood flowed from the glasses girl's mouth, which ran down her jaw. Her originally upright face became miserable, one eye was swollen high, and her eyelids were tightly wrapped around her eyeballs to prevent them from bursting out. Her other eye was only half open, and she looked at us with that half.
"I, I know Latin. I can't speak, but I can understand it. β
I'm sure you almost all have a similar look of embarrassment on your face. After those of us who participated in the trial entered this hall, it had become a closed world. Willing or not, people in this world compare themselves to each other. Just like the man in black showed his ferocity from the beginning, the girl with glasses was also defined as a "weakling" from the beginning. It's not just that she's weak, but more importantly, she doesn't seem to have a good brain. The moment she fell to the ground dripping bloodied and convulsed, she seemed to have lost something. Of course, the people around her will sympathize with her, but on the other hand, they will also involuntarily feel a little glad - because it is not she who was beaten. Therefore, when she explained that she could speak Latin, everyone had this kind of embarrassed look.
"Is the so-called gun shooting a bird in the head?"
Riko muttered beside me.
"Huh?"
"When teachers solve the problem of bullying in students, they always think that the person who is beaten is also responsible." Riko's side face looked unusually cold, "'Why does he just bully you and not others?'" 'Why don't others have this problem?' βγ There are those who have a similar view when dealing with aggravated crimes. Women are attacked by mobs because they are scantily clad, so women should dress more conservatively to be safe......"
"Something like that......"
I subconsciously felt that this statement was a bit inappropriate, but it seems that I did something similar without realizing it. I think the girl with glasses was beaten by the man in black because she herself couldn't perceive the atmosphere here, and she couldn't notice that the man in black was abnormal. In other words, she's stupid and doesn't know how to judge the situation. However, now that she has become the key person who can solve the rules of the trial, such a gap is the reason for everyone's embarrassment.
I turned to Riko, but she didn't seem to have any desire to continue. The doctor quickly moved on from that embarrassment as well, dragging his injured leg over to the glasses girl.
"Can you tell me what that's written on it?"
At this moment, the man in black who seemed to be sitting in the corner from a distance looked over. The girl hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly. One of her eyes was completely swollen, and the other was also in tears.
"I know Latin, but now I can't read clearly. Can you read it to me? β
"Read it out?"
The doctor looked at the LED screen in the distance. Although everyone knows the letters above, the meaning of the specific words is completely unknown. In this way, you can't read word by word to the girl with glasses, you can only repeat the letters. However, the text on the screen scrolls in turn, and the speed is very fast, and I am afraid that I can't finish reading the letters one by one. If you have paper and pen, maybe it's fine. But the trialists here only have a piece of clothing on them.
The girl with the ball cap, who had previously reported to the doctor, also seemed to understand the problem, and she offered her own advice.
"How about we get a few more people, each looking at a different part of the screen, and then reading it out?"
The girl's suggestion was eye-catching, but the male high school student who had answered the doctor's question with her before made a counterargument. The two of them have always been active in interacting with doctors, and this time is no exception. However, male high school students were not assigned the task of looking at LED screens before, and now they seem to want to highlight their presence more.
"What if someone pronounces a word wrong? Isn't it a serious matter if you mispronounce it and misunderstand the meaning? The male high school student said.
"If the meaning is wrong, the big sister over there should be able to detect it."
"What if you don't notice it? If something really goes wrong here, someone dies in the trial...... Who bears this responsibility? β
"That ......"
The word "death" had been raised, and the atmosphere between the two men suddenly became tense. The male high school student saw that he had the upper hand, but he still did not give up.
"Besides, who is going to do such an important job?"
"Let's do ...... together"
"Isn't it confusing for a lot of people to report letters together?"
"Alright." The doctor interrupted the conversation that bordered on an argument between them, and the two immediately fell silent, and the doctor turned to the male high school student, "You think it carefully. It's amazing that a kid your age can think so well. β
The girl's face in the baseball cap turned pale all of a sudden, and a smile appeared on the face of the high school boy. But he heard the doctor's next words and quickly stopped smiling.
"But it's better to put forward your own point of view when you deny other people's opinions, otherwise the problem will not be solved."
After a moment of silence, an office worker in a suit and tie spoke. His tone seemed a little hesitant, and he seemed to have mustered up considerable courage to speak this time.
"Doctor, doctor...... Living, Doctor Lord? The office worker struggled to consider what to call the doctor, "So what should we do now?" Should the letters be reported? β
"Actually, there is one more question about this matter." The doctor shook his head slightly, "Even if we report the letters in their entirety, does this girl really remember?" Will she be able to translate successfully? β
Realizing that everyone's eyes were on her again, the glasses girl shook her head.
"Sorry, my Latin skills aren't that high. If you report letters, I can still handle a set of 30 letters, and it will be very difficult to have more. β
"Then we ......"
The office worker's eyes showed a somewhat disappointed expression, and the face of the girl with glasses was not very good-looking. The doctor thought for a moment, then turned back to the girl with glasses. He waved at the girl.
"Can you see my hand now?"
ββ¦β¦ OK. β
"Then I'll move my hand a little further away so you can still see it?"
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, but it's blurry if it's farther away. β
The doctor nodded in satisfaction.
"Then we're going to take you to the LED low, so you might be able to see it."
The doctor's words provoked a whispered discussion. The previously active baseball cap girls and high school boys didn't say anything, and they still seemed to be lost by what had just happened. The office worker faintly noticed that there were several eyes condensed on him, and it seemed that he had unconsciously become a new "messenger" to communicate with the doctor.
"Doctor, isn't it too close for her to see?" The office worker said cautiously, "This distance is not enough even if you stand directly under the LED screen." It's about two stories short of ......."
"You're right." The doctor nodded, "So I'm going to let her do that." β
The doctor pointed to the metal cylinder that had caused a dispute between the girl with glasses and the man in black. I don't know if it's because of a coincidence or the arrangement of the gods, there is a cylinder not far under the LED light. The cylinder is about two people tall, and if the glasses girl sat on it, she might be able to see the LED screen clearly. But when the glasses girl heard the doctor's plan, she pursed her lips. The man in black had kicked and punched the metal cylinder before, which seemed to prove that these things were harmless. But for the girl with glasses, the metal cylinder may symbolize pain and humiliation.
"Since they are props given to us by the agency, these cylinders may have their own purpose." The doctor said this, and then gently stroked the girl's shoulder, "How's that?" Can you do it? Everyone...... But I'm looking forward to you. β
As if in line with this sentence, everyone looked at the girl with glasses. I knew it was the doctor subtly putting pressure on her, but I couldn't help but look at it. I really want to know the rules of this trial, I don't want to repeat the chaos of the last trial, I want to know what the purpose of the trial that made the senior die. The girl with glasses was facing everyone's gaze, and finally bowed slightly.
"I'll try ......"
In the end, the office workers were given a very honorable task, which was to stand under the metal cylinder and listen to the glasses girl's whispered translation, and then tell the content aloud. The girl with glasses has an injured mouth and is unable to speak loudly, so such a microphone is needed. The responsibility for this task is second only to that of the Girl with Glasses, but there seems to be little disagreement with this arrangement. The Medic assumes that he will not do any labor or participate in any tasks. As a leader, or rather a ruling class, he will never allow his identity to be tarnished. The girl in the ball cap and the high school boy, who were the "messengers", were too proactive, and the girl in the ball hat even gave advice to the doctor, and seemed to have plans to enter the leadership class. As a result, people think that their desires are strong and untrustworthy. On the contrary, some cowardly office workers became the best candidates.
Before you know it, a small society is taking shape.
Riko and I watched from the sidelines as we approached the LED and the metal cylinder underneath. Although it is not easy to see clearly when lying on the ground, there seem to be small wheels underneath the metal cylinder that can be dragged around. Two men hold the metal cylinder to keep it stable, and the office worker stands next to the metal cylinder. Because the top of the metal cylinder is not very large, the girl with glasses is already sitting on it. There are also a few people below on standby who will deal with some contingency situations, such as the glasses girl accidentally falling. The Bag Hat Girl is in the midst of this, and she seems to want to make a comeback. However, the high school boys watched from a short distance along with other "civilians". There was no one around him, and everyone was clearly avoiding him. The high school boy kept his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.
The girl with glasses looked at the LED screen for a few seconds and seemed lucky to find the beginning. Soon, her translation reverberated through the halls through the retelling of office workers.
--The outlier, fearing being pierced by the light, swapped 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.
The flickering text on the screen seems to be some kind of wacky poetry. However, it seems that it is impossible to use Latin to refer to objects that only appeared in later generations, such as "monitors" and "suits", and it is understandable that they are written as obscure poems. I tried to decipher it, and if I was not mistaken, the outliers represented the "air people". Airman is afraid of sunlight, so it is said that he "swapped places with his own shadow". But what does the black and white balance mean?
"I think I'm talking about the tendencies of this trial." Riko said, "It's like an exam, it's divided into different subjects, and those who are good at math may have sparse results in the Chinese exam. The phrase 'giving wisdom and strength is equal weight' should mean that both strength and wisdom are important in this trial. β
I couldn't help but nod. Although the trial has not yet begun, I am already vaguely aware of it. The representative of wisdom is like a doctor, who is now the leader of almost everyone. Representatives of power, such as the man in black. Even if he had done such an excessive thing, the doctor still wanted to invite him to join him. The knowledge of the glasses girl may also be considered a strength, and she is now surrounded and protected by many people. On the other hand, I am afraid that I have nothing.
But before I was lost, the follow-up translation came again.
-- All things should be in their rightful place, and the judge must complete a migration. It is only when they recognize themselves that the door opens and the migration begins.
-- But be careful, there will be difficulties and obstacles on the way to the 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.
-- 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.
- 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.
"The sun goes down?"
I subconsciously looked around and couldn't find any windows or clocks. In this way, this trial is different from the last time, it has a time limit. The girl with glasses clutched her head in pain, as if it was a chore for her to distinguish the words on the LED screen. I can understand that, because she was suffering quite a bit, both physically and mentally. The girl with glasses snorted, as if she was carefully interpreting the meaning of the Latin. At this moment, the sound of an argument suddenly came from behind.
