Chapter 44: Cruelty
Grouchy first removed the heavy long case, and then picked up a shovel to dig in place, only digging a thin layer, a mottled stone slab was exposed, Vidum's eyes widened, he came to the elder's tent I don't know how many times, he could always see the elder sitting behind the long case, he didn't expect that there was such a mechanism under the inconspicuous desk.

Grouchy threw away the shovel in his hand, moved the slate away with all his might, and picked up the shovel again and began to dig. As a few shovels went down, everyone found that there was a mystery underneath, and a large box full of rust and rough style was presented in front of everyone. Grouchy let out a snort, mustering up all the strength to move the box out.
The elder walked over and opened the box, and removed a large piece of fur from the cover, only to find that the box was neatly stacked with bones of different sizes.
The elder cautiously picked up the first bone in his left hand, which occupied one of the four winds in the large box, and motioned for Al to come over and look, "Be careful, this bone is thousands of years old, and it is very brittle, don't touch it at will." Although carefully preserved, the bones still appear a little damaged, the bones are very large, it is estimated that they are the skulls of snow bears, the original snow-white color is yellowed as a whole, and it has been dyed with vicissitudes of life for a long time.
Al nodded, knowing in his heart that this was left by the ancestor of the orcs, and it was estimated that it was a record similar to the nature of the oracle bone inscription.
Al didn't move, just leaned over and slowly checked, although the handwriting was a little blurry, but he could barely read it clearly, and he read it in his mouth as he looked.
"We leave a record here, if all of us die on this earth, if the truth of history is covered up, if people have forgotten this sin, I hope that someone will see this text and know and remember this terrible tragedy and unspeakable sin. ”
"We have changed from human appearance to beasts, and some of us have the mind of a beast while maintaining the appearance of a human being. ”
"The war began, no one cared about the lives of the common people, those mages recklessly captured the living for experimentation, and the nobility and royalty not only did not do justice, but aided in the abuse, not just in one country, but in all five countries. ”
"War has turned all men into madness, and the powerful into beasts. ”
"Those mages painted strange patterns on us, gathered people together for mysterious rituals, and the most terrifying thing was that they dissected the living, and the terrible screams and wails we will never forget, and we will be awakened in our sleep. ”
"They also injected the blood of wild beasts into the human body, and no one was able to survive, and all those who received the injection were covered in blood and died in agony. ”
"Then they implanted something strange in our bodies, and the bodies of the remaining survivors slowly changed, our bodies became taller and taller, our faces became more and more ugly, and parts of our bodies gradually became beasts. ”
"Many people could not stand this despair and committed suicide, only a few survived, even this darkness could not stop the beautiful love, and soon the first little life was born, which was the gift given to us by the Father and the Mother of the Earth! ”
"Then the abominable mages were gone, and it was a long time before we escaped, and then we knew that the war was over. ”
"Everyone feared us, hated us, banished us, and some of our companions were brutally killed. No one wants to help us, no matter how much they pray, no matter how they explain, no matter how they beg, no sympathy and pity, no generosity and fraternity, there is only prejudice, indifference, contempt, and disgust. In the end, we couldn't survive anymore and fled to this uninhabited bitter cold land, which may be the only place for us. ”
"O Father and Mother, why do we suffer like this, why do we receive such punishment, why do we lose all love, why is there no place for us in the great heaven and earth, why we are deprived of our qualifications to be human beings. ”
"We obviously didn't do anything wrong, why, why did we do this. ”
"We curse the mages who have no humanity, the ones who condone all the powers, the cruelty to our humanity. ”
"Humanity will not allow us, we will not be human, from this day on, we are orcs, a new race. ”
Al struggled to read, overflowing anger and sadness, pain and despair. The words were small, but heavy, and Al's voice trembled, and the emotion called "sadness" enveloped everyone present, making it impossible to breathe.
As the first human to enter the orc tribe, Al stood here, as if to represent all humans being tortured, and his ears were full of orc soul cuckoos crying blood, roaring, questioning:
Why.
Why?
Why!
Why, because this is human beings, this is the paradoxical, complex creature of human beings.
It can be so beautiful, and it can be so ugly. It has all the virtues and all the vices. can be cruel and cold-blooded to be unbelievable, but hide the kindness of cherishing and guarding in your heart. Able to treat fellow citizens with love and warmth, but without hesitation to raise a butcher's knife to his fellow citizens. It can develop technology that makes the world a better place, but it can also create more efficient and terrifying weapons of killing.
The Qing army entered the customs, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three slaughters, every family is plain, every household is white, "pile up corpses, hand and foot pillows, blood into the water and blue ochre, turn into five colors, the pond is flat, front and back, burning everywhere, the corpses in the city are like chaos", what is the difference between the Qing army and the beast at this time?
The Japanese army Nanjing Massacre, ** captivity, all evil, to slaughter for fun, to not kill for shame, the city of corpses everywhere, crying and shaking the sky. At this time, how could the Japanese have the progress and civilization that they flaunted during the Meiji Restoration? They only showed their animal nature, barbarism, and violence, and vividly embodied their own "evil."
The massacres of the Indians in the Americas exterminated the indigenous people of the entire continent. Bloody and greedy black slaves plundering and trading, every bit of money is soaked in tears and blood and sweat, isn't that trade route a road to death? Not only do they sell their bodies and souls for money, but they also wantonly trample on the dignity of others and sell their lives.
The Nazi Auschwitz concentration camp not only carried out genocide, but more terrible was that they believed that what they did was legitimate, just, and sacred. Cognition is distorted, morality is defied, it is not the loss of conscience of one person, but the madness and pathology of a group of people, a society, and a country.
......
And many, many more. Turning over the history of mankind, the thick smell of blood came to my nose, and I couldn't cover it, and I couldn't cover it. That is a history of blood and tears, a history of war, a history of killings.
We human beings are far more cruel than we can imagine.
