"Answer my question, Colonel Lome." Without waiting for Luo Wei to speak, Major General Cass took the lead in asking, "Have you ever been afraid?" ”

Luo Wei was silent for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Yes." ”

Major Cass would continue to ask, "What's that?" ”

Luo Wei's mind came to mind more than three years ago, the Dawn Defense, in the 98th wave of Collapse, the epic Nidhogg descended over Dawn City without warning, and endless black fire and red lotus fell from the sky, as if the entire sky had collapsed, that was the first time Luo Wei had tasted the emotion called fear since the collapse came.

Luo Wei didn't hide it, and still answered truthfully: "Epic creature, Nidhogg." ”

"Well... I've heard of a black dragon that covers the sky and the moon. Major General Cass was in a calm mood, without the reverence that epic creatures should have, and seemed to have looked down on everything in the world, and he continued to ask, "Second question, who are you most afraid of?" ”

Luo Wei thought for a long time and shrugged his shoulders: "I don't have anyone to be afraid of. ”

A hint of mystery appeared in Major General Cass's blindness: "Think again, really not? ”

Luo Wei nodded: "I've thought about it, but I really don't." ”

At this moment, Major General Cass finally smiled: "So, you have found the answer." ”

Luo Wei was confused, and asked suspiciously, "What is the answer?" ”

"About fear." Major General Cass's eyes were blank, but from another point of view, they were clear, "Colonel Luo Wei, I haven't seen as much of the world as you, but I dare to say that there must be an evolutionary in this world who is not weaker than that black dragon." But why are you afraid of this black dragon and not of any of the evolutionaries? ”

Luo Wei thought silently, his heart was shrouded in fog, he tried to clear the fog, to grasp the answer after the fog, but he never succeeded, he could only stand in place in confusion.

"Because they're human." The moment Major General Cass gave his answer, Luo Wei felt that something had been struck in his heart.

Luo Wei's eyes were a little discrete, the fog in his heart seemed to be stirred by some force, fluctuating, undulating like a cloud, but it was still shrouded, it never faded, his lips trembled slightly, and he muttered: "Human..."

"Yes, you are not afraid of any evolutionary because you know from the bottom of your heart that these evolutionaries are all human beings, and in essence, you are no different from each other, and the other may just have a little more strength than you, that's all. But that black dragon is different, it's not your kind, you don't know it, and all our weaknesses often come from the fear of the unknown. ”

Now, do you know the answer? In the eyes of the soldiers on death row, you are no different from them, except that you are more powerful than them. Done something brutal? Then you're just a brutal human. Doing something cold? Then you're just a cold human. Always their kind. Major General Cass smiled, like an elder teaching children, and said earnestly, "Want to compete with the beast to deterrence? You can never compare. It's like you're afraid of black dragons, but you're not afraid of any evolutionary. Between you and the beast, the death row soldiers will always fear the latter. ”

Luo Wei's eyes flickered, and there seemed to be some kind of fierce struggle in his heart, and he said faintly: "But many people say... I'm a monster..."

Major General Cass showed a deep smile, and instead of directly answering Luo Wei's words, he asked instead, "Do you have someone you love?" Colonel Lome. ”

This time, Luo nodded worriedly and replied without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

"Then you will always be a human being." Major General Cass stretched out his old hand, gently took Luo Wei's hand, and said kindly, "The reason why people are human is because they have love in their hearts, whether this love is family, friendship, or love, as long as it is still there, people will not become monsters." ”

Luo Wei slowly closed his eyes and smiled helplessly: "We seem to have deviated from the topic." ”

"No, that's the answer I want to tell you, why you can't control the death row." Major General Cass withdrew his hand, sat back in his seat, and said deeply, "Tell me, Colonel Lowe, how many people have died in the death row camp in the past six months?" ”

Luo thought for a while and said silently: "The previous ones and the new ones behind are about two thousand people. ”

"How much more than two thousand?"

Luo Wei shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"What's their name?"

Luo Wei shook his head again: "How can I remember this." ”

"See? In your eyes, these soldiers are not people, they are just strings of numbers, even numbers that you don't care about from the bottom of your heart. Major General Cass's godless gaze was colored with deep colors, and he said earnestly, "But you forget one thing, they are not numbers, each of them is just like you, with their own name, their own story, and their own loved ones, amorous and colorful." ”

Luo Wei seemed to have something in his heart that was about to come out, and a scene appeared in front of his eyes, it was a face, the face of every dead death row soldier, most of whom Luo Wu didn't recognize, but for some reason, their faces appeared so clearly in front of him, as if they were engraved in memory with a knife, lingering, he muttered in confusion: "Then what should I do?" ”

"Colonel Lowe." Just as the picture appeared in front of Luo Wei's eyes, the voice of Major General Cass pierced through the picture, and a faint voice came, "Will you die for your country?" ”

From one quagmire of doubt to another, Luo Wei's eyes were shrouded in fog again, he felt that he was standing on a wasteland, he wanted to run, to go to the place he wanted to go, but everywhere was empty, he didn't know which direction to run, and he took a step, maybe to get closer to that place, or maybe he was going the other way and going farther and farther.

I don't know how long it took, Luo Wei closed his eyes and shook his head slightly: "It shouldn't be." ”

"Is there anything or someone in this world that is worth giving your life to?"

At this moment, Luo Wei nodded firmly: "Yes!" ”

Major General Cass stopped talking, just smiled.

In an instant, the picture in his mind changed like fireworks, and the scene in his memory appeared in front of him, but it was no longer a human face, but the pocket watch he had seen when he executed a deserter in Syracuse three months ago.

It's strange that Luo Wei didn't pay attention to this pocket watch at that time, just glanced at it and knew that it was a family of four, but at this time, in the memory that appeared in front of his eyes, his eyes seemed to penetrate time, and the still pocket watch began to jump, the husband hugged his wife, and the children naughtily lay on their backs, laughing and shouting to their father, forming a warm and charming scene.
