Chapter 463, The Despair of the Human Heart
When I walked out of the room, I felt a little reluctant. I've come to feel more and more the attraction of the City of Despair to me. This should be reflected from Zhao Mengmeng.
The living environment on each floor of the City of Despair will be much higher than the next floor. From the first floor to the present, our life has been close to the aristocratic life.
This kind of life. The attraction to people is immense. And this kind of life. You don't have to give anything, you don't have to work, you don't have to do anything, you can get it.
This is exactly the way many lazy people dream of living. It is also what many people pursue all their lives. Even I am not immune to this. After all, the pursuit of happiness is the instinct of human beings, and material happiness is of great help to people.
It can be said that at this point, the City of Despair is truly fair and just. Lots of room though. It is in the hands of some big forces. But there are countless rooms, and there will still be no one to use.
these rooms. Each room can be lived in for a long time. Whether it's materials, or all aspects, it's crazy. It can be said that the whole city of despair, for some people, maybe life will be happy.
In the outside world, for example, as of 2015, one-third of the world's population was still struggling with poverty, and nearly a billion people did not have enough to eat.
And in China, although the rise of a great power is shouted every day, the national strength is expanding every day. But in fact, only a few of the 1.3 billion people live happily, and the majority of the people live only food and clothing.
The average salary of 2,030 yuan can only meet the average expenses. It's just enough to survive. And at a time when I wasn't exposed to paranormal events. So do I.
This 100-square-meter room is fully equipped with modern furniture, so you don't have to go to work every day, and you can enjoy everything you want. Both material and other conditions can be met.
It is definitely the life that countless people dream of, although they may die. However, the appearance of props has made the mortality rate continue to be lower. City of Despair, so to speak. has been turned into a fortress. A place to live.
From the first floor to now, I can feel it deeply. The City of Despair is no longer relying on death threats. It is the temptation of various material conditions that makes countless people willing to stay in the city of despair.
Zhao Mengmeng, this person who is not firm in his mind. He was already holding my arm, and his voice pleaded, "Let's just stop breaking through and go rest for a few days." We've just arrived on the tenth floor, are we in such a hurry? β
"yes, you can actually stay for a few days." Red Lotus also said.
"No, we're going now." I said with a serious face.
"Do you really have to go? Just rest for another day. Zhao Mengmeng looked at me pitifully.
"Not for a day." I said.
In the hall, many people had already discovered our situation, and a man looked at us and laughed wildly: "I said little brother, you have come to the tenth floor, you don't want to enjoy life, you have to go to death?" β
"Yes, seeing that you have broken through to the tenth floor at such a young age, you definitely have a bright future. Why do you have to go. You should have enough time. One of the people next to him also mocked.
"yes. In such a hurry, you are so confident in yourself. Why don't you spend a few days here? It's bustling on the entire 10th floor. β
"yes, you don't know. The levels from the 10th to the 11th floor are a watershed. The difficulty will be several times higher than that of normal levels. β
"Don't you prepare for it, it's like dying?"
"I saw this kid last night, he just came up from the ninth floor, and it's only been a long time, and he has to break through. Do you think he's crazy? β
"yes, it's a pity for these girls."
Hearing their words, I frowned, then turned my head to look at the group. The group sat in the middle of the hall, with several chairs on the floor, apparently intending to play mahjong.
"Don't you want to go out at all?" I looked at them and asked. I didn't expect that my words would be exchanged for laughter.
"Haha, get out? You even want to go out? β
"Do you know how many floors the City of Despair has?"
"yes, and I don't want to go out even if I have the chance."
"Yes, even if I have the chance, I won't go out. I've heard that after reaching the fiftieth floor, there is no time limit. You can stay for the rest of your life. β
Hearing their words, Zhao Mengmeng couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you want to go out, no matter how good it is here, it's just a prison after all." Someone will die at any time. β
"Haha, little girl. You're so naΓ―ve. You look at our lives now, so carefree. Why go out? A fat man said.
"Yes, my salary outside is only three thousand a month. After paying the rent, plus the utility bills, there were only eight hundred left. All that's left is to save money all day. When you get here, you can eat and drink spicy. The ghost is going out. β
"Yes," said one of them indignantly, "as for dying at any time, it's not the same outside." A friend of mine was hit and killed by a rich second-generation drag racing car, and he was fine just after losing a little money. Which do you say is more dangerous. β
"That's right, I really don't want to stay in that garbage society outside. I'd rather die here for the rest of my life. Don't go outside either. One said indignantly. Looks like I've been through something before.
Zhao Mengmeng was stunned for a while, not knowing how to refute. I grabbed her arm and said in a muffled voice, "Let's go, leave these guys alone." β
"Hmm." Zhao Mengmeng said. Then we walked into the middle of the level. None of us spoke along the way. My eyes were sad. Their words had a huge mental impact on me.
I know that the City of Despair has succeeded, relying on powerful material temptations that make everyone who enters it happy. Even if they had the opportunity to go out, they didn't want to go out.
After all, compared to the harsh reality, this place is not as scary as imagined. Especially after a few floors, then it's not worth being afraid of.
So they are willing to be ants one by one, even if they will die, they will not complain. This terrible method is the most inexplicable part of the City of Despair. When the bird is unwilling to leave the golden cage, then any resistance is powerless. This is the despair of the human heart. Many people have already regarded this desperate city as a peach blossom source.
Zhao Mengmeng took my arm and said in a sad voice: "Zhang Wei, I think what they said is very reasonable. But I have an indescribable sadness. β
I patted her on the shoulder, and then laughed at herself, "yes, it's a lot of temptation here compared to the outside." For a grass farmer who works hard for three meals a day. It's a paradise, of course. We are not in a position to condemn them. But we are different, we have family, we have friends. We have to get out. Even if we lose it all. β
"Hmm." Hearing my words, Zhao Mengmeng clenched my arm.
Walking into the level, it is an empty snow-white space with only one table. And on top of the table, there is an object. It was a long, blood-red whip glowing black and covered in blood, and it was placed on the table.
And in the snow-white space, a mechanical voice sounded, like a robot: "You will now face a test, and in front of you, a whip." Only those of you who have this long whip will be able to go out. β
When I heard his words, my face changed dramatically. If it's as the voice says. Then only one of the four of us will survive. Honglian and Zhao Mengmeng were extremely panicked when they heard this voice.
Only Duanmu Xuan said calmly: "There's no need to be too afraid, that voice may be lying to me." Don't forget that we have the Buddha seal on our bodies. The difficulty will be much lower. That is, it could have been mortal. But that's not the case anymore. β
Hear him say something like that. Zhao Mengmeng and the others breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Honglian walked silently towards the table. The service clip is carried.
"Red Lotus, what are you going to do!" I frowned, and at this time I noticed that Red Lotus seemed to be in a bad mental state.
Red Lotus didn't speak, but staggered towards the table. Those eyes had become glazed, too.
