Cheng Mo saw that Ms. Delholm pushed the poor girl away from her arms in order not to drag her daughter Anna down. He heard Lady Delholm crying out with tears in her eyes, "I don't know you, get out of here," and rushed towards the cage where she was imprisoned, carrying countless punches, kicks, and flying spit.

The unfortunate Lady Delome, for the sake of her daughter, can't wait to become a "heretic" in the eyes of the people.

The turbulent tide formed by the crowd did not subside because of this warm scene, but the masses living in the fear of the plague and the oppression of the upper classes turned their anger on the innocent Anna, and they did not hesitate to pull the tearful Anna from the ground, calling her a "cheap seed", "a scourge", "a prodigal", and "a cousin......

In the Middle Ages, witches were always associated with sex, so in people's eyes, causing the plague was not the worst sin of witches, but seducing men and ****. Foul language overwhelms Anna, who is terrified and tries to struggle and flee, only to attract even greater malice.

People pulled her hair, pulled her clothes, slapped her. She screamed, cried, she prayed.

Some were indifferent, some turned their backs, and many more, especially women, continued to be violent against Anna, verbally, physically, spiritually.

Even the unsightly crusaders tried to dissuade them, but they could not stop the crazy people from continuing their madness, and Lady Delåm ran back, and Lady Delåm, who had not been crying, shed tears and protected her daughter with her body, and she recited in her punches and kicks: "I should not be a doctor, I should not be a doctor..... It is enough to punish me, save my daughter, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me, why have you stayed away from me, you have not listened to my groanings, my God, I have cried out by day, and you have not answered, and I have cried by night, and you have not spoken.....

This earnest plea pierced through the noise, but it could not stop the tyranny from continuing. Standing in the shadows, Cheng Mo saw a variety of expressions, indifferent indifference, pity indifference, numb indifference, and irrational anger. He also saw the Chosen One like him, standing on the roof, watching this human tragedy as if watching a movie.

In order to prevent the two mothers and daughters from dying on the spot, the Crusader soldiers had no choice but to stuff the poor mother and daughter into a prison cart.

Cheng Mo watched the cheering crowd follow the prisoner van away with an expressionless face, as if the celebration of the parade had entered the climax. He felt that there were times when the world was ironic, where what was once a prison of imprisonment has become a fence of protection, that what should have been judged is now holding high the scepter, and that what should have been admired is now spurned......

However, Cheng Mo, like the Chosen One on high above, only exists as a god-like spectator. It's like playing a game, do you care if an NPC lives or dies?

No.

All we care about is our mission and the rewards we deserve.

Even if this scene is so real at this moment, so what?

It's just a story about Ms. Delholm and her daughter, Anna. How many similar tragedies have there been in the long course of history? Human sorrow adds up to more than joy, and human sacrifice and deception have more than consummation and justice.

Cheng Mo always thought that he was a selfish person, but at this second, he had the idea that the task didn't matter, and he should save the mother and daughter. Such a thought was about to move in Cheng Mo's heart, but it was just about to move, and the stubborn reason pressed on it, making his sympathy unable to overflow. Cheng Mo thought that he would never be able to become a vicious person, but he could not become a good person, and he would not even become a character like any kind of person.

In fact, he is just an ordinary person, he can neither become a bad person, nor a good person, nor a villain, nor a gentleman, nor become a hero, nor a bedbug. If there is any difference between him and ordinary people, it is that most of them always aspire to be a certain kind of person, such as becoming a powerful person or becoming a famous person.

Cheng Mo is different, he doesn't aspire to be anyone, but he has the ability to be anyone, but he chooses to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person who lives a long life.

Cheng Mo never wanted to be a hero, he knew that being a hero meant self-sacrifice, he thought about the "Lord of the Plague" he had just gotten, and the "Singer's Horn" that he hadn't gotten, and stood in the shadows and chose to return to his body. He watched from afar as the prisoner vans swarmed with churning crowds along the narrow alleys like a flood had washed into the city.

Anna in the tide trembled in her mother's arms, she lived a carefree life the day before yesterday, and today everything is out of reach. Mortal life is like a dandelion, fragile enough that a gust of wind or a rainstorm can easily destroy it, perhaps blowing it into a cold and muddy wilderness, or burying it in a cemetery where no one knows.

Cheng Mo got up from the bed, and when he got out of bed, Xie Minyun, who was sitting at the desk, asked, "Are you okay just now?"

"What's wrong?"

"I feel your heart beat faster, your blood flow faster, and your body's temperature rises a lot......"

"It's fine, it's just that I've seen some uncomfortable scenes. Cheng Mo put on his shoes and walked to the bathroom, he stood at the door of the bathroom and turned his head and asked, "By the way, do you feel sympathy for NPCs?" Or do you think that these killing games are the embodiment of the cruel nature of human beings?"

"I don't play games much..... But that's an interesting question, you go wash your face and brush your teeth first, let me think about it. Xie Minyun said half-turning.

Cheng Mo said "um", went into the bathroom, and after washing up, Cheng Mo came out and saw that Xie Minyun had already stood up, she opened the curtains, letting the sunlight outside shine in, and suddenly the room that was originally as dim as dusk was bright.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Xie Minyun asked, she walked to the cabinet at the entrance, looked at the electric kettle and said, "But only instant." ”

"Okay. Cheng Mo nodded.

Xie Minyun scalded the white porcelain cup with boiling water slightly, picked up the coffee pod from Nestle and began to brew coffee, and after a while, the fragrance of coffee wafted in the room, she took the coffee to the coffee table and put it down, and then sat on the sofa, stirring the coffee with a silver coffee spoon, and said, "I thought about the question you asked just now." I don't have sympathy for those NPCs in the Land of Ruins, even if it's a carrier on the other side, I won't feel guilty when I kill them, after all, I know in my heart that NPCs and carriers are just tools, and in essence, the competition in the world is similar to sports competition, although it is cruel, but it is not cruel, after all, the Round Table Council has set rules to restrain the behavior of the Chosen One, which is the embodiment of civilization. Of course, there are also many games that exist to make us feel the thrill of killing, and there are also some people who enjoy killing. But I think it's good to be able to release the evil in the heart in the game, not in reality, and that's the power of civilization and morality. That's probably what the game is all about, giving us the space to unload our stresses and our desires...... "Speaking of 'civilization', I think of a joke about Malinowski (an Austro-Hungarian anthropologist) chatting with local cannibals in Papua in the Pacific. He mentioned the First World War to the cannibal patriarch, telling the patriarch 'There is a war going on in Europe now, and tens of thousands of people are dying every day', and the patriarch of the cannibal tribe was puzzled: 'How can you eat so many people?' Malinowski explained, "Europeans don't eat human flesh...", the patriarch was shocked: 'Why kill people if you don't eat meat, you are so barbaric!' Human beings have formed societies for better survival, and societies have developed civilization and morality, but one society and another society will start wars because of resources or prejudices, and this kind of massacre is bloodier than when human beings exist as individuals. In order for everyone to live in a better civilized society, it is contrary to the desire of the formation....."

It is undeniable that with the progress of science and technology and the development of the economy, mankind has become more and more civilized. ”

"It's just a superficial phenomenon, Dostoevsky said in his Notes from the Basement: what does civilization make of us gentle? Civilization only cultivates the diversity of human senses...... Nothing else. It is precisely because of the cultivation of this diversity of sensations that man presumably develops to find pleasure in the bloodshed..... It is precisely because of this diversity that human beings can find pleasure in the variety of entertainment available today, such as fantasy that kills people at every turn, games that use extreme crime as a selling point, and movies that deliberately sell bloody violence...... In fact, the nature of human beings has not changed because of civilization, and if it were not for the existence of nuclear weapons, a war on a larger scale than World War II would have broken out long ago. Cheng Mo said a little heavily.

"I think that 'cruelty' is the embodiment of human animality, and civilization can make intelligent human beings empathize, so they will sympathize with weaker creatures than themselves, in fact, the word 'cruelty' is not the opposite of 'kindness', but the mirror image of civilization, it is human beings with civilization that can realize what cruelty is, and animals will not know what cruelty. It is true that the animal nature of human beings is deep in the genes, but education can build moral barriers and restrain animal nature in it. Xie Minyun picked up the white porcelain cup, took a sip of coffee slowly, and then looked at Cheng Mo and whispered, "Of course, the current society is not perfect, which is also the motivation and meaning of our efforts." ”

Xie Minyun's answer could not relieve Cheng Mo's confusion, he knew that according to the agricultural production capacity of the United States, it was completely possible to feed the whole world and completely eliminate hunger, but the people of the United States would not do things without benefits; he knew, and many people also knew that the Huami cooperative world would move towards a better future, but for the sake of their own interests, the world could only fall apart.

Cheng Mo can't see the possibility that the world will be better. However, he did not open his mouth again to discuss with Xie Minyun, because he knew that Xie Minyun also knew this, but she believed that everything would be changed for the better through human efforts, and he remained pessimistic about everything.

Cheng Mo also picked up the warm white porcelain cup, took a sip of coffee, and when the warmth reached the bottom of his heart, he thought: "The world has nothing to do with me, I can protect the people I care about." ”

——————————————————————

At 3 p.m. on December 20, 2020, Cheng Mo turned on his computer and looked at his private mailbox, at this time, Xiyuan Temple Red Pill still did not send any messages to him, saying that he would exchange information with him. Cheng Mo believed that Xiyuan Temple Red Pill already knew that the "Singer's Horn" was very important, and he didn't open his mouth probably because he didn't want him to be sure that Chen Fang and Chen Shaohua were his pawns.

Cheng Mo knew that the cunning Xiyuan Temple Red Pill was the object he could fight for, and he was hesitating whether to take the initiative or not, so he received a large amount of information from Nuwa. Including the progress of the strategy of the Stargate and the Sunflower Banner, Cheng Mo glanced at it and saw that at this moment, the Stargate had completed the capture of 666 witches and was about to leave for Gisfield Monastery. He immediately put down what he was doing and activated the carrier to return to Asgard.

Returning to Christianfeld in the Land of Relics, Cheng Mo went straight to the prison without hesitation, at this moment his activation time was less than half an hour, and he had to find Ms. Delholm as soon as possible.

It took Cheng Mo more than ten minutes to sneak all the way from the square to the prison, at this time the prison was lining up to count the number of people, the whole courtyard was full of people, the jailer's shouting and scolding and the women's cries were noisy and boring, Cheng Mo made a little observation, and found that there were Star Gate's Chosen People around, but they didn't pay special attention to the guard work, some people stood on the roof chatting, and some people were bored looking at the Chosen One system in the air.

Cheng Mo teleported into the dungeon, but found that Ms. Delåm was no longer here, and he didn't see Anna, Cheng Mo hurriedly left the dungeon, ran to the first floor of the prison, found a room facing the courtyard, hid in it and began to look for Ms. Delåm, but after searching carefully two or three times, Cheng Mo did not see Ms. Delåm from it, at this moment, Cheng Mo saw several priests enter the cloister from the arch of the main hall of the prison, including the cardinal.

It was obvious that something had happened, which made the bishop's face a little serious, and his steps were very fast, and seeing that there was no one from the Star Gate in the courtyard, Cheng Mo walked out of the room and followed.

Soon a group of people walked to the end of the corridor on the first floor of the prison and turned into a cell with two crusader soldiers' handles.

"We just didn't expect this woman to be so tough in the morning, and then she committed suicide after being punished so little. Someone whispered a plea.

"You shit, you don't look good at any of you!" rebuked the Bishop.

Cheng Mo was shocked, and hurriedly rushed into the cell, and immediately saw Ms. Delholm lying on the haystack in the cell, with a strange smile floating on her pale face, and a crimson strangulation mark on her neck.....

(There will be a change tomorrow morning)

"You shit, you don't look good at any of you!" rebuked the Bishop.
