Chapter 19 The end of the novice teaching
"What if the current situation is also a part of the novice teaching?"
The stake man, who had been forgotten by everyone, suddenly spoke, and this sentence made everyone's eyes light up.
"But we don't have a choice now?" Qian Xiao looked at the stake man expectantly.
The Stake Man is once again in the Stake state.
Qian smiled, "......"
Qiu Yu said in a gloomy tone, "Isn't the choice obvious?" It's just that we all ignore the preconceived selectivity. ”
Qiu Yan hurriedly said, "No." ”
"Why not?" Although it was a questioning tone, Qiu Yu's eyes contained a determination that could not be questioned. Qiu Yan was not given another chance to speak. Qiu Yu said to himself to the place where the TV appeared every time, "If this is really part of the novice teaching, then you can conclude that the earth civilization will not retreat, and we will wait for those lizardmen here." ”
As soon as Qiu Yu's words fell, the TV broadcast the scene of countless people jubilating again, "It seems that there is really no need to continue, the fourth stage is over." ”
The television screen flashed past the people who had run out of the hall and lost in the white world.
"The third stage is a stage of free choice and development of civilization, where there is no right or wrong in any action, and the only goal is to reach the fourth stage alive. The fourth stage is to determine whether a civilization is qualified to participate in this game involving the entire universe. Kill wild animals, use his threats to speed through, and face the threats of other civilizations to qualify for the game. ”
"But a civilization that voluntarily gives up its own life, no matter how gorgeous and noble the reason, will be disqualified."
"A civilization that kills each other for trivial interests shows that this civilization is not worthy of being called a civilization at all, and that the only way to develop is to destroy, or eventually become a wild animal that acts on instinct. And in order to avoid threats, the civilization that takes the initiative to end its own life is not noble, but cowardly, and any civilization can only continue for a long time if it keeps facing challenges, and the result of always retreating can only be destruction. This is the most basic law in the game and in the entire universe. ”
Therefore, at the last moment, the earth civilization barely qualified to participate in the game. At this point, the novice teaching ends. ”
"It's over...... It's over? Qiu Yu's brain was once again stalled by the sudden turn of events.
"Do you think that at the end of the novice teaching, each person will be given a spaceship, and then find a target to fight a gorgeous battle, and then teach you how to use dimensional cannons, sub-energy bombing mines, etc.?" With a chilling laugh, the Overseer said, "Get out of your slow thinking of humans deceiving yourselves, in the universe, it doesn't take a single second for a civilization to go from prosperity to destruction. Moreover, the development of civilization and the growth of anything must be fought for by oneself, which is what this teaching has been telling you from beginning to end. ”
"Excuse me." Qian looked at the TV with a flattering smile, "This hurt ...... of mine"
"Your injuries? Isn't it already good? ”
"Huh?" Qian Xiao touched his waist, where the skin and flesh seemed to be more delicate than before, and looked around again, Qiu Yan had already stood up from the chair and was moving his hands and feet...... But that's all, only the two of them recovered from their injuries. The others were still in pain, watching the TV with anticipation.
Qian Xiao said cautiously, "Why haven't you healed their injuries yet, you see, they are also full of pain." ”
"Their injuries?" The overseer seemed to have heard something funny, and the TV showed countless people laughing out loud, "What does their injury have to do with me?" What do you think this game is? Is it a stand-alone game that can be read and restarted countless times, or an online game where you can return to the city after you die? Every action you do here is about the future of the entire civilization, but before that, it is about your own survival. Do you know why Doom Games has a distinction between civilization points and survival points? ”
The regulator's last sentence obviously did not change the slightest from the previous tone, but Qiu Yu felt a suffocating breath of death.
"Wait." Qiu Yu uttered a strange tone that even he had never heard before.
Before the others could quickly understand why Qiu Yu suddenly called out these two words, the answer appeared on the black and white screen.
The people on the screen who were looking for traces of monsters in the snow suddenly slowed down, as if all their strength was rapidly draining, but it was not only their strength that was lost, but also their time...... In less than ten seconds, they had gone through a long life, turning into a pile of fly ash of the same color in the white snow.
Then, the people in the hall let out a desperate exclamation. In just a few seconds, these voices went from shrill and high-pitched to hoarse and deep, then as thin as mosquitoes, and finally, all silent......
"No, I can't let him die in vain, I want to live, I live ......"
Qiu Yan quietly hugged the last girl in the hall who was starting to grow old. The girl did not calm down because of Qiu Yan's gentleness, and her withered branch-like hands kept scratching Qiu Yan's body, drawing faint blood marks.
"I'm going to live, why...... Why ......" The girl turned to ashes in Qiu Yan's arms, and until the last moment of her death, she always regarded Qiu Yan as a murderer who took away his time, desperately struggling and questioning.
"Why?" On the TV screen, a pair of emotionless eyes looked at the girl's ashes, and replied playfully, "There are only two paths, survival and destruction, since you have stopped in place and have not taken the initiative to take steps towards the road of survival, then the only thing left is destruction." ”
The images of Qiu Yu, Qian Xiao, Qiu Yan and the stake man appeared on the TV screen.
"This is the last thing you who are still alive to learn in the beginner teaching."
