Chapter 214: Punishment and Reward
After sending off the helicopter, Lin Sheng walked alone on the street.
I just wanted to take something out of my pocket, but suddenly remembered that my phone had been completely destroyed by Lixia not long ago.
I am now in an extremely "clean" state from top to bottom.
After walking to a relatively hidden path, an inky figure quietly appeared on his side and slowly walked together.
"You're a lot more decisive than I thought."
"Why can negative energy also use 'source decomposition'?"
"The 'source structure decomposition' in your mouth is actually a kind of 'energy short circuit', the focus is not on 'energy', but on 'short circuit', relying on the operation of a specific circuit to cause a 'short circuit', in order to completely destroy the energy veins running in the other party's body, I have seen it so many times, the simulation is not difficult."
"Got it, but why don't you just eat each other." Lin Sheng looked at the girl beside him.
"If I say it's because you're too weak, would you believe it?"
"Faith."
Lin Sheng nodded.
"When I used your ability, I felt a subtle feeling in myself that is difficult to describe, as if the balance was broken, and the simultaneous output of positive and negative energy seemed to have caused some secondary damage to the body."
Lin Sheng looked at his arm, the sleeve of his coat covering the injury inside.
"Almost, you have to increase your energy pool and output strength as soon as possible, otherwise I can only stay at this level in order to survive, and you have to call me as little as possible, for you at the moment, it is not a good thing to use the two abilities at the same time or frequently."
Xiaoying answered, and then changed the topic back.
"So you haven't answered me yet."
"The other party won't give me a lot of time to think, and when I hesitate, it means that I am more inclined to let him go."
Lin Sheng opened his right hand, and in the palm of his hand was a coin.
It was a special coin with two sides, but on one side, there was now an extra scratch from a sharp object to distinguish the front and back.
"Tsk...... Remember how you taught that silly boy a lesson? ”
"I remember, I told him, 'I never believed in luck.'"
"So in the end, isn't it still a contradiction between what you say and what you do."
Lin Sheng suddenly fell silent when he heard this.
"No, I actually threw the back, but I chose the front."
"Oh?"
"Even if the other party kills people randomly, there is a very small probability of killing the person next to me, even if the probability is very small, but it is not zero, that was just my idea at the time, but the words of that person afterwards also verified this."
"Then what's there to worry about."
Xiaoying narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Lin Sheng who was walking slowly beside him.
"That man, I was left with a 'choice,' or rather, a question."
Lin Sheng raised his head slightly and turned to his side, "Do you think I am a good person or an evil person?" ”
"To put it in a cliché, you have too many things on your body, which is both motivation and burden, but at the same time you follow many rules and regulations, so ......"
Xiaoying put her index finger against her chin and tilted her head thoughtfully in reply.
"So what do you think you can do?"
"Good man?"
"That's not right."
"That's a wicked person, but I don't think I'm either."
"That's not right."
Xiaoying shook her index finger from side to side and replied, "You can't do either of these two characters right now. ”
"In other words, as long as you are a normal person, you should not be able to distinguish between pure 'good' and 'evil', complexity and coexistence are the norm, you are just a self-righteous 'ordinary person'."
"I know."
Lin Sheng sighed.
"People like us, to put it bluntly, are very different from other ordinary people who don't know the truth, and we shouldn't use their logic to judge and act anymore, otherwise it's really just a burden in all kinds of dangerous situations."
Xiaoying stopped, staring at the man beside her.
"But you still seem to be trying to strictly abide by the rules of the ordinary world, so it gives people the feeling that you are afraid to do anything."
"So he also wanted to tell me that people like us don't have to adhere to any 'principles' and don't have to take ordinary people's emotions too seriously."
When the girl beside her heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, and then responded:
"The so-called 'people who can't make the right decisions, if they don't have too much desire, they don't have enough consciousness,' and you seem to have both."
Xiaoying pondered, and continued to add:
"The composition of your current code of conduct is too complicated, and if you want to do one well, you want to do both, which is not only too much desire, but also insufficient consciousness, but both one and two things can rarely be achieved, have you ever heard the saying 'you can't have both'? So I want to ask you what do you think is the most important thing for you right now? ”
"Protect the people around you and find Xiaoqian."
"Then there's nothing to hesitate about, is there."
Xiaoying glanced at Lin Sheng beside him again, and then turned into ink and melted back into the shadow.
Lin Sheng paused for a long time, and then took out a black long object from the hidden place in his coat pocket.
It's the wreckage of the remote control in that room.
"Shouldn't I thank you for teaching me a lesson?"
As soon as he killed the boy, the entire realm began to crumble and collapse.
Everything in the room disappeared from view one by one from that moment, but Lin Sheng immediately found ...... The old TV in the corner, and the remote control board on the original desk, still existed.
Picking it up, he realized that this so-called "remote control board" is actually just a shell, in fact, it is an intelligent terminal sending device.
This thing was not generated by the domain, but brought in by the man.
Just as he was looking—
"Zizi" sounded.
"Hey, hey, hey~"
A man's voice suddenly came out of it, like the cry of a bad phone call, and it sounded like the man who had appeared before.
Lin Sheng just wanted to say something.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to say first, this communication is one-way, I didn't want to continue chatting with you."
"Of course, I couldn't have predicted what choice you'd end up making, because if you know everything, the game loses the fun of the game."
"Hahahaha...... Just kidding. ”
The man's voice was still as cheerful as the boy next door.
"I think you should be very clear by now, what exactly is the question I want to ask you again."
"If the 'one who is about to be sacrificed' is yourself, your answer is 'save yourself.'"
"If the 'people who are about to be sacrificed' are the people around you, your answer is 'save the people around you.'"
"But what if the 'soon-to-be-sacrificed' is a 'like-alike' who doesn't know you, but can trigger your compassion?"
"Your eyes already give you the answer."
"The two emotions of 'unbearable' and 'decisive' in your body were entangled at that time, resulting in many contradictions that are difficult to reconcile in a short period of time."
"Actually, you already know the answer from the beginning."
"Although 'people' are not black and white."
"But it's hard for people like us to go on as 'people'."
"Black and white, standing firm and practicing a certain code is the only way for people like us to live."
"It's like at this moment, you made a choice, didn't you, the result of a coin toss was tails, but you still chose heads."
"It's not the same as your previous habits, my Xiaosheng~"
"As a 'human', you have to be constrained by too many superficial rules."
"But superfluous emotions will only lead to the death of yourself and those around you most of the time."
"I hate to say that, though."
"But you're still a little plainly cute."
"I told you before, if you let him go, he'll move away and kill two people randomly, right?"
"Of course, this statement is absolutely true, and I am not a liar."
"But I'm sorry I didn't tell me everything."
"I only said that he would move away, but I didn't say where he would move to."
"In fact, if you let him go, where will his next transfer be...... Well...... I think you know that by that, you already know that. ”
"Do you think you can catch up? Protect those who are important to you before he does it. ”
"Remember, I said 'weakness'."
"Before you can attract the attention of the people above, think about this problem."
"Ah...... I'm sorry~"
The man's tone suddenly became a little mischievous, as if what was happening at hand was extremely interesting to him.
"I forgot~ You're now the 'Mr. Key' who saved the city."
"This game is fun......"
"Big hero."
Just when Lin Sheng thought that the other party had finished speaking, the other party seemed to remember something again, and spoke again after a few seconds:
"Tut-tut...... As I get older, my memory is getting worse and worse. ”
"I almost forgot~"
"Since it's a game, there will naturally be rewards for success and punishments for failure."
"I just said what the punishment is, and I forgot to give you a reward~"
"The reward is a few words, a few questions, to be exact."
"Listen, this is a required question~"
There was also a "knock" sound like knocking on a blackboard in the speaker.
"First question."
"Do you think that the Morpheus that you people call it really started to appear ten years ago?"
"Second question."
"Is it true that the so-called Morpheus only 'parasitize' on living things?"
"Third question."
"Why is it that the same rules and realms, the characteristics displayed by the Divine Interpreters and the Soul Bound are far more 'singular' than the actual events themselves?"
"Fourth question."
Speaking of this, the other party deliberately paused with a full appetite.
"Do you think you ......"
"How long will you live?"
