Chapter 37: A Vicious Circle

Dark, cold, damp.

Tintin is back in the Crimson Tower. When she first came here, she was dazed and frightened, but now the uneasiness has faded a lot, maybe it is because of the habit of nature, people are very adaptable creatures, otherwise it is impossible to become the overlord of the earth.

The scene changed too quickly, giving people a dreamlike feeling, and she asked blankly, "So, the game is over?" ”

"Yes."

"Is Major General Bai really a murderer?"

"Apparently."

"We survived again?"

"Of course."

"Wei Liang!" She smiled and said happily: "In my heart, you are Superman, Spider-Man, Ultraman, I really adore you so much." ”

"I prefer you to compare me to a clown or Hannibal."

Tintin remembered the two creepy criminals, shook his head violently, and said, "You are different from them. ”

"At least those two still have a little brain, as for Superman Spider-Man and the like, they are reckless men with brute strength, if it weren't for the aura of the protagonist and the villain's brainlessness, they would have died 10,000 times."

"Well, brilliant Dr. Hannibal, thank you for saving me from the sea of swords and fire again."

"You're welcome."

Stepping on the wet mud under his feet, Tintin longed: "We have already played two games, and if we win one more game, we can advance to the second tier, and according to the instructor, the environment there is much better than this." ”

"Yes."

"I really can't wait, the environment here is so bad, I can bear the darkness, I can barely resist the cold, but the humidity is the worst."

"I also don't like to get wet, it's always sticky, like standing on a piece of poop."

Tintin was amused by his metaphor for this image.

Wei Liang looked at her and said with a smile: "Your mental state is good, keep it up." ”

Tintin asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Wei Liang said: "In the past, you were always gloomy, afraid of wolves and tigers, but now you are much more optimistic, and you have obviously adjusted your mentality." ”

Ding Ding took his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to be with you." ”

Wei Liang was silent for a moment, smiled, and didn't know what to say. He could clearly feel the girl's dependence on him, which was a good thing for most men, representing his charisma, but it also meant an extra responsibility. Wei Liang is not afraid of taking responsibility, he is just used to being alone, like a wolf wandering in the wilderness, hunting alone, surviving alone, and dying alone. To him, Tintin is like a little white rabbit who has no ability to resist, and when they first meet, he teases her, bullies her, takes her with him, and is ready to eat her at any time. But gradually, the white rabbit developed feelings for the wolf, and although the wolf didn't want to admit it, he gradually didn't regard the white rabbit as a prey in his bones.

This strange relationship made Wei Liang feel very awkward, but for now, there seemed to be nothing bad. So, just let it be.

Ding Ding suddenly remembered the matter of the scarlet coins, and said, "Taling said that if we guess the murderer, we will get a reward of two thousand scarlet coins, it won't be a lie, right?" ”

"Of course not."

Ding Ding checked his balance, looked at the four-digit property above, and said in a low voice, "I am also rich." ”

Wei Liang looked at her childlike smile of joy and smiled, "This time the harvest is much bigger than the last time. ”

"What should I buy?" With money, the first thing she did was to shop, open the Scarlet Mall, although there were a variety of goods, but she had no permission to buy, she could only buy some food and daily necessities, it was really useless for heroes, she was discouraged and said: "Why can't you buy so many things?" It's really annoying, since you don't plan to sell it, what are you hanging on the shelves for? ”

Wei Liang said: "Don't worry, every upper layer will unlock some purchase permissions, and the things in the mall will be ours sooner or later." ”

Ding Ding sighed, "That's already a very distant thing, unless we can go up to the tenth layer. ”

Wei Liang asked, "Do you have faith?" ”

Of course Tintin has no confidence, she is already blessed by God if she can survive the first layer, how dare she dare to climb to the tenth layer? In order not to disappoint Wei Liang, he had to say softly: "Have confidence." ”

Wei Liang knew that she had no confidence in what she said, rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "I will be by your side." ”

Ding Ding's eyes lit up, then dimmed, and said, "You said that we will be separated sooner or later." ”

"Now I've changed my mind."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just think it's good to be with you."

"Thank you." The corners of Tintin raised his mouth and a bright smile. When she got along with Wei Liang before, she always felt that there was an indescribable estrangement between the two, but now, she felt that the estrangement had dissipated, and this mysterious man with a mask had finally opened up some of his heart.

In the icy night, the two sat back to back, feeling each other's body temperatures. They were silent, not saying a word, but they didn't feel cold, let alone embarrassed, but felt warm and peaceful.

After a long time, Wei Liang said: "I found a very interesting thing. ”

Tintin asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Liang said: "A lot of people died in these two games, who do you say killed them?" ”

Ding Ding said: "Of course it's Taling, it sets those cruel rules of the game and makes us kill each other." ”

"I thought so at first, but when I think about it, it's not Taling who killed us, it's ourselves. The game designed by Taling seems to be cruel, but there is a glimmer of life, such as the biochemical mode, if we really follow the method of Major General Bai, it will be a happy situation; There's also the Killer Kill Game, where the seemingly naΓ―ve method you propose allows everyone to survive and everyone gets a good income. But we can't do that, because everyone only believes in themselves and only thinks about their own interests, so there will be conflict, there will be betrayal, there will be death. ”

"That's true." Ding Ding sighed lightly: "There is still more trust between people. ”

"I'm not trying to advise you to be good. In fact, in a world full of wicked people, goodness only accelerates ruin, and we have to become more evil, more cruel, and more cunning in order to survive. ”

"Isn't that a vicious circle? We don't want the world to be bad, but we have to do it for our own sake, and that will make the world worse. ”
