Chapter 416: Man is inherently dead
"There are so few clues that this dried corpse can provide, and there are really no obvious external injuries on their corpses...... Wait a minute! What is it? ”
As he spoke, Wen Wen on the other side of the table suddenly bent down and carefully examined the dried corpse on the stool next to him, while Lanaya, who was on the other side of his table, looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”
"Discover something quite interesting...... You see, there is more or less damage on these people's bodies, and I suspect that this may be the damage caused to them by the 'black light energy' that leaked back then, but this is not the point, the point is here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info" said gently, reaching out and tapping the throat of the dried corpse in front of him, and untied the clothes on his chest by the way.
"The point? What's the point? Lanaya leaned over and looked carefully at the dried corpse beside Wen Wen, and sure enough, she found a wisp of inky black from his pharynx to his upper abdomen, and looked up to find that all the dried corpses around him looked like this, "This is...... They were poisoned? ”
"That's right, I'm afraid these people were poisoned...... But what I can't understand is that they were obviously killed, why are they so peaceful and neat? I felt that they didn't even have the slightest resistance, and they were dying. Said gently.
"Could it be that the effect of this poison is too violent? So that they simply don't have time to struggle? Lanaya asked.
"Violent poisons are generally extremely painful to the person who takes them, and even if their technology is very advanced, it should not violate this biological law." Gently shook his head, although the pharmacist's knowledge was forgotten, this basic thing could still be remembered, "And they don't have time to struggle, you look here." ”
As he spoke, Wen Wen raised the palm of the dried corpse in front of him, the front end of his fingers had already torn the flesh on the palm, although the deep wound was probably formed during the dehydration of the corpse, but it also fully indicated the painful state of their death.
There seems to be only one reasonable explanation for this situation...... Are these people voluntary? Lanaya looked at Gentle in surprise and said in disbelief, "Why is this happening?" ”
"Actually, I have a pretty bold guess...... Remember the writing we saw on the black stone wall earlier, and what we saw in the Archives in the Survivor's Notebook? Gentle turned his head and whispered, "The survivor's note mentioned that he had a conjecture that if it was okay, it was the only way to escape this space. ”
"Words on the stone wall...... And notes? Lanaya thought thoughtfully, and suddenly her eyes widened and she said in shock, "Do you think ...... Could it be these people?! ”
"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the only way out of this space proposed by the survivor is to break free from the shackles of this space, and the specific way to break free is ...... It may be that the observer of this world has become one, remember the misplaced broken bridge we passed earlier, although I don't know what the principle is, but I believe that the space in this world is indeed misplaced, and we were able to pass through it, probably because of this. ”
"But what if you open your eyes when you cross the bridge?" Lanaya asked.
"What will happen?" Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It's very likely that it will be directly torn in half by the chaotic space." ”
"Then these of his companions believed in him and ate his poison, right?" Lanaya blinked, "This person is really bad enough to treat his companion like this." ”
"No...... I don't think that's the case, his notes mention that no one cares about his advice, which means that this person probably has no real place on the ship, and in that desperate moment, the only way to reassure everyone may be luck...... I don't know exactly what method they used, but I think it's likely that a lot was drawn to determine the last survivor. ”
"Lottery? How to smoke? ”
Gently licking her lips, she said in a loud voice, "There is the same amount of food on the table as the number of people here...... Although they have all been dried, it can be roughly seen that these things should all be the same, and only one of these foods is not poisoned, allowing people to choose and decide their own fate. ”
"But that's ...... What if someone cheats? Like, the person who serves the food? Lanaya's question was full of incomprehension, and in her mind's mind, this kind of lottery was simply impossible.
"In that desperate situation, people's consciousness will rise to a new level, and I believe that the quality of the crew on this ship is also very admirable, do you remember the mention in his notes of using physical methods to close the emergency valve of black light energy, even he knew that it was a death-like mission, but those crew members still carried out the captain's orders without hesitation...... I even suspect that among those who sacrificed their lives and rushed in to close the emergency valve, there were their captains, sacrificed and dedicated, and sometimes someone needed to take the lead. ”
"It's an incredible act...... Aren't people supposed to do it all for themselves? ”
"Sacrifice and dedication is a rare spirit, and the soul can only burst out when it awakens to a certain height...... Do those people want to live? I believe they want to, every single one of them thinks, but they understand that if everyone is determined to live, then in the end no one will survive; Only when someone dedicates and someone sacrifices, can others have a chance to live. After a pause, Wen Wen continued, "They know what they're doing and what they're going to do, and that's why the spirit of 'self-sacrifice' is so admirable." ”
"I don't understand...... I think becoming stronger itself is a selfish act, although it doesn't sound good, but this is the inevitable law of the development of things, if we sacrifice ourselves in order to help others, give ourselves, then how can we become stronger, what is the point of everything we have done before? Lanaya asked.
"There is an old saying in my hometown, 'Man is born dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather'."
