Chapter 255: Sixty Seconds, One Life!
Until the greedy red eyes disappeared for a long time, our ears still echoed the words of its departure, standing stunned in place, angry, more powerless, we were in each other's body. It's as hard as a mayfly trying to shake a tree, it's a knife, I'm a fish, let it be slaughtered!
"You want us to kill each other and betray our partners...... How selfish and indifferent does it have to be? Xu Huayan's little temper came up, and she couldn't bear it and said, "It's over, and we want to eat it together!" ”
"Gluttony may be trying to break down the trust between us." The star picker laughed and said: "It does bear the word cunning, if a group of people who are not familiar with each other come, this remark is enough to make everyone on guard in their hearts, and make them suspicious, to prevent being selected to kill or think about killing anyone, just like a game of killing." ”
"Big brother, don't talk like that, don't say it, and don't say that you are not familiar with it. Now as far as we are concerned, it is also medium-rare beef and six-rare, which are not very cooked......" Aoi Shan shrank up worriedly, "I am the weakest, you don't want to sacrifice me to fulfill the gluttony, right?" Although it is said that those who become righteous are not informal, they can ......"
"Shut up, you!" Xu Huayan grabbed the other party's ears, "It's good to be cautious and cautious if you think about us according to your selfishness every day, but once we fortify each other, it means that we will never be truly united, so put away our selfishness, instead of worrying about this and that." It's better to think about what countermeasures can overcome the current difficulties. ”
"Transgender Yeon...... You're fine, I have some understanding. Aoi Shan looked at the star picker and the sword idiot worriedly, "But they, I'm not sure." ”
"Don't worry, I'm the best speaker here." Ning Shuying understood the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "Uncle Pick and the sword idiot predecessors are both legends in the rivers and lakes, and I have dealt with them many times, so they are reliable. ”
"Okay." Aoiyama shrugged his shoulders and asked, "The things that the gluttony has decided cannot be changed and disobeyed, otherwise all of us will die, so we must do what it requires." Let's be realistic, who do we choose to be gluttonous food? ”
Some people may think that Teacher Cang is timid, but in fact, after all, he is the only one present who has experienced the sealing ceremony of the previous era, and how terrifying the gluttony is, only he knows that this feeling is beyond our imagination.
"I think it's inevitable to pick someone. But before that, let me ask. I looked around and said solemnly, "If he finishes eating, not only is his craving not satisfied, but his appetite is hooked up, and he wants to continue eating, what should he do at that time?" Continue to satisfy it or rebel? Gluttonous greed, like a bottomless pit, can never be satisfied. ”
"Niu Er's analysis is very correct." Ning Shuying thought for a moment and said rationally: "But this kind of worry has no substantive significance. Now there are only two ways to choose, the first is to compromise, temporarily abandon the dignity of the human race, meet the needs of gluttony, there is a certain chance of survival; Second, to be a real man for five seconds, to resist the irresistible gluttony, and then all die, there is no point in our gluttonous body, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to give away people's heads. ”
"That's it, Lao Jian and I are elders, so we will be the masters once, and we won't choose, everyone will sit down now." The star picker thought for a moment, and he proposed: "The specific details are like this, I shout to start, everyone has a minute to weigh the time, and then close their eyes, whoever is willing to try their gluttony will take the initiative to stand up." I'll count down, and when the sixty seconds are over, we'll open our eyes together to see who it is, and if no one stands up by then, we'll each take up arms and have a fearless resistance! If you agree with my proposal, do as I say. ”
The sword idiot was the first to say, "Agree." ”
"I agree with that."
"Well, that's better, after all, it can't hurt each other's harmony."
……
We sat down on the ground.
Suddenly, my mind moved and I asked, "Wait a minute, is it possible for the gluttons to peep into our conversation here?" ”
"No, it won't." Aoi Shan shook his head and explained: "A large beast like gluttony can only have five senses when it looks inward, and now its eyes are not there, which means that it is not looking inside, unless we shout very loudly, enough for the sound to reach glutton's ears clearly." ”
"Alright, go ahead." The stone fell to the ground in my heart.
"Let's go!"
After shouting, the star picker closed his eyes with us, "60, 59, 58, 57......"
Every number he reported was like a shocking ripple, although the numbers were getting smaller and smaller, but the power was getting bigger and bigger, which gave me a sense of suffocating urgency that I was about to be separated from my partner, and I was very uncomfortable, especially wondering who I would be separated from, but because I had my eyes closed, I couldn't see it.
At this moment, if I want to stand up and dedicate myself, it is really fake. I didn't have the idea of standing up, I was reluctant to live in the circle, I couldn't let go of the long-cherished wishes of my relatives and friends, including Master, after all, no one wanted to die, and when I died, I had to be eaten by gluttony and my companions. Therefore, the selfishness at the beginning is still dominant, and with a fluke mentality, some people are willing to stand up and carry it.
“39,38,37,36……”
The voice of the star picker continued, and a third of the time had passed, and I passed all kinds of past events with everyone present in front of my eyes, and I was confused at the thought that whoever stood up and took the initiative to give food would be unacceptable, and I believed that others would feel the same way as me.
At this time, the "selfishness" in my heart was finally shaken.
In times of crisis, it is indeed a test of a person's heart, and it is also a great test of each other's feelings.
“24,23,22,21……”
Two-thirds of the way through a minute, there is not much time left, and the "selfishness" in my heart is shaken by friendship, shaking so badly that the roots have been exposed, and they are no longer rooted in my heart. My mind was still struggling, and the scales were tipping.
“8,7,6,5,4……”
Suddenly, my little selfish tree was violently uprooted by the power of friendship, left the heart, and vanished. I won't allow anyone I care about to die in front of my eyes and eat the flesh of the other, and if I have to have one, let me die myself!
“3,2,1!”
As soon as the star-picker's voice stopped, my knees moved slightly, and I bounced up with a "whoosh", standing straight in place, and at the same time, I opened my eyes, Xu Huayan, Ning Shuying, star-picker, and sword idiot were also like me, standing fearlessly, only Qin Ghost Ming and Aojing Mountain were sitting.
We are not angry at all, after all, we stand up to live while sitting, and grasp the only hope to seal gluttony.
The person who chooses to sit is duty, blameless, and perhaps the other party has more considerations.
Those who stand up are willing, not great.
The five of us standing saw surprise in each other's eyes, and then my eyes moistened, as if covered with a layer of mist, it turned out that it was not only me who thought about everyone.
The warm touch quietly melted the heart.
"I'm sorry, I haven't found Uncle Shi yet." Aoi Shan said apologetically: "I belong to hundreds of years ago after all. However, a new question arises, the five of you are all standing, who will you send to let the gluttony cook......"
Qin Ghost Ming didn't open his eyes from beginning to end, a pair of eye sockets were like two pieces of ink that were extremely black, and his whole person was like a corpse with a dead lamp, silent.
I asked worriedly, "Brother Qin, are you okay?" ”
He didn't react in the slightest.
Xu Huayan squatted down, probing the other party's breath, she withdrew her hands: "Still alive, ghost, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare us. ”
"Are you asleep or unconscious?" Ning Shuying stepped forward and pushed tentatively.
At this moment, Qin Ghost Ming opened his eyes suddenly, and it was no longer a slit in the past, but bright and big eyes, bigger than Xu Huayan's eyes, these eyes were as beautiful as stars, and he said in a dark voice: "I knew in my heart when I started to pick up my seniors, except for Teacher Cang, everyone would stand up." However, don't rob it, just let me be a professional who sent me to death. ”
