Chapter 51: My hands are covered with iniquity
The criminals were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, so they didn't look back at Shan Liang's back, otherwise they would have seen an unbelievable scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that after passing by all the criminals, a knife suddenly appeared in Shan Liang's right hand, and hot blood continued to drip from the blade, and Shan Liang's left hand was already carrying a human head that was constantly spurting blood downward.
At the same time, a headless corpse fell to the dust, and the corpse was dressed in a white prison uniform.
Shan Liang cut off the head of a criminal with a knife, his expression remained unchanged and his eyes were firm, he held the blood knife, carried the human head, and fearlessly ran towards the silver-scaled tiger snake with its mouth open.
"Roar!"
The roar roared out of the tiger's head, and the rich fishy smell erupted from the throat, mixed with the wind, making people almost disgusting, Shan Liang's face changed, and he immediately held up a green shield that wrapped his whole body.
"Ascend to the sky!"
Green light bloomed from the soles of his feet, Shan Liang jumped up against the snake's head, kicked his legs three times in mid-air, and his body rose one by one, as if he was stepping on the air and jumping, and jumped to the top of the silver-scaled tiger head snake in a few breaths.
The cold wind blew the placket of his clothes, and Shan Liang immediately jumped up high, and slashed hard at the center of the tiger's head!
"Sonorous!"
The bloody knife slashed at the tiger's head and shattered in two, while the flesh on the top of the silver-scaled tiger's head covered with gray-brown fur was unscathed.
The silver-scaled tiger head snake immediately straightened up half of the snake's body, and the tiger head suddenly came into the air, and it shook its head violently, trying to throw the uninvited guest on its head thousands of miles away.
Shan Liang hurriedly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hair as thick as a branch, and with his left hand, he held the bloody human head tightly in his arms, and with the violent shaking of the tiger's head, Shan Liang's body was like a flag fluttering in the wind, as if it would be thrown away at any time, but he bit it tightly.
The silver-scaled tiger head snake shook for a moment and then stopped, and the tiger head continued to crawl on the ground, twisting the snake's body and moving forward quickly.
The human on the head is like a louse to it, and it can't get rid of it for the time being, so it has to be left to stay, anyway, no matter how fat the "lice" are, it can't bite it. And the "ants" in front of them who are slowly trying to escape are the most important targets to be solved.
The silver-scaled tiger snake followed its instincts, ignored Shan Liang above his head, and began to continue his "clean-up activities".
Shan Liang still dragged the tiger's hair in his right hand, sat down slowly, looked down at the head with a hideous expression in his arms, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I can't save everyone." β
Shan Liang looked up at the night sky that crossed the meteors from time to time, and sighed: "Sacrificing one person and saving more than a dozen people, such justice is correct, right?"
The night sky won't answer, the silver-scaled tiger won't answer, and the lifeless head won't answer.
"That's right. β
Shan Liang had no choice but to ask and answer himself.
The silver-scaled tiger snake was moving extremely fast, and in a few breaths it was already approaching the fleeing criminals, and the screams of fear resounded throughout the night sky.
"Death in a dream!"
Shan Liang sighed and said these four words softly.
Before the words fell, the head in Shan Liang's arms suddenly smiled, soared into the air, rose into the air, and suddenly exploded with a "boom". At the same time, a huge human-headed phantom poked out of the sky, a pair of hideous and terrifying eyes staring at the silver-scaled tiger snake crawling forward on the ground.
"Roar!"
The silver-scaled tiger snake roared, and suddenly its body fell to the side, the eyes on the tiger's head slowly closed, and its breath continued to erupt from between its nose and wings.
Is the silver-scaled tiger snake asleep?
......
Shan Liang is an alien who has an ability known as "Whimsical Ability", which is called "Death into Dreams".
At the moment when the ability was fully awakened, Shan Liang understood the meaning of the name of the ability, and also understood what kind of life he would usher in.
Like all abilities, Death Dream has three elements: effects, conditions, and limitations.
Its effect is very powerful, it can hypnotize more than its own target in a very short time, and although the result of hypnosis is only a light sleep that wakes up at the touch of a button, it already has an extremely terrifying effect.
But the conditions for "Death to Dream" are even more terrifying than what it works - death is the only condition for this ability to trigger, and it is not ordinary death, but the sacrifice of a recently dead head in order to activate "Death Dream".
With such an ability, he is destined to walk with death.
"Kind Shan Liang, heh, my hands have long been stained with sin. β
Shan Liang laughed at himself, lying on his back in the hair of the silver-scaled tiger head snake, staring at the dark night sky that there was obviously no half a star, but there were shooting stars from time to time, and he was stunned.
Of course he had killed, and not one, not ten, even more than a hundred. A fresh skull can be the trigger for "Death Dreams", which is his best way to increase his hero rank.
Therefore, he has been promoted from the lowest F-rank hero to the C-rank, and his wealth, fame, and status are not the same, but the sins in his hands have long been accumulated. Betraying his companions, cutting off the heads of other heroes to complete the "death dream", and then creating the illusion of the heroic sacrifice of his companions, all of this became the whole of his life, the only meaning of his life.
Until, he met a woman, who clearly saw through his true face, but still stood in front of him at a critical moment, and had a chance to escape alone, but resolutely ran to help him who was injured.
Before she died.
He asked, "Why did you save me?"
"We are heroes, and it's our duty to help those in need, isn't it?" she replied.
He went on to ask, "Even if it's scum, do you want to save it?"
She nodded slightly, "um", and slowly closed her eyes.
Then he cut off her head and lived.
"You're really, stupid and naΓ―ve. β
Shan Liang smiled softly at the sky, "But I like it." β
Any ability has effects, conditions, and limitations. The restriction on the use of "Death into Dreams" is that it cannot be more than three meters away from the target of the dream, otherwise the target will wake up.
So even if the silver-scaled tiger snake would wake up at any time, Shan Liang couldn't leave immediately.
"The feeling of risking your life to save a bunch of scum is really TM fucking!"
Shan Liang complained fiercely, then smiled softly, and said almost dreamily: "But if you don't do this, I will feel worthless for you." β
......
......
Shan Liang thought that he had saved more than a dozen criminals, and the dozen or so criminals found that the star beast did not continue to chase, and thought that he was finally saved, but if he looked down from the sky, he would find a cruel truth.
The direction in which the dozen or so criminals fled was colliding head-on with a Chimera, and in a few minutes, they would meet!
Of course, the criminals didn't know that they were running towards death, they just ran wildly, glad that they survived, and felt a little grateful to Shan Liang in their hearts, but not much, maybe in the future, when drinking with their brothers, they would mention such a fool who called himself a hero, and then shout Long live the fool.
The people who were fleeing did not notice that a black cloud was floating in the middle of the air, and there was light hidden in the black cloud, covering the two figures.
In fact, the two people in the black clouds have been in this sky for a long time, and they have a full view of everything, whether it is Shan Liang's "kindness" sacrifice, the ugly struggle of the criminals, or the ruthless departure of Ding Yi and Hongmei, they all see it in their eyes.
But things have developed to this point, the silver-scaled tiger snake will wake up at any time, and at that time, the silver scale tiger snake will not see the damn "ants", and will inevitably anger the "lice" on the top of its head, and Shan Liang's situation can be described as quite dangerous. And those criminals will soon run into the Chimera waiting for them, and the tragedy is about to happen, and one of the black clouds will finally be unable to continue to watch coldly.
"Can you save ......" The young man's voice sounded in the dark clouds with a little expectation.
"Help... Who?, the hero, or the criminals?," the girl's voice, unable to hear her emotions, interrupted the boy's words.
"Of course it is......," the boy suddenly froze in the middle of speaking, and took a breath, as if he was lost in thought.
"Heroes who sacrifice themselves and criminals who run for their lives selfishly should naturally choose heroes, but what if one life is compared to a dozen lives?"
The girl said: "So the question is, if you were given enough strength to save one side, a hero and a dozen criminals, who would you choose to save?"
Justice, either based on personal emotion, or on awe-inspiring righteousness, but the question is which side do you choose to save when the quality and quantity of life conflict?
"Whichever side you choose, I will save it. So, choose, Shi Xiaobai. β
(ps: Choices are everywhere, the choices Shan Liang makes at the moment, and the choices that Shi Xiaobai is about to make, are all some of the fucked ideas I want to convey, all of which say that a good writer must do three things well: shape characters, write good stories, and convey values.) I want to be a good writer, so I won't settle for just the first two!)
