Chapter 044: Seven Lives, Seven Days
Go over the fence and out of the cave.
The light outside the cavern was a little harsh, and Ludon raised his hand slightly, squinting, slowly adapting.
When he fully opened his eyes, he appeared outside a palace.
The gate of the palace did not need to be pushed by Luden, he just glanced at the door, and the door slowly opened.
Ludon walked in.
He stepped on the red carpet under his feet, and the red carpet spread all the way forward, and he didn't know what was at the end.
On both sides of the red carpet, like an exhibition, there are all kinds of strange things.
The first thing Lutdon saw fell silent.
It was a corpse.
To say that it is a corpse is a bit far-fetched.
To be precise, this is a corpse bone, the flesh on it has been eaten cleanly, even the bones are not complete, and a piece of the thigh bone is missing, which should be used as a weapon.
The skull has a pronounced crack.
Even if Ludon was not a medical examiner, he could have guessed that the cause of death of the corpse was a blow to the head.
Well, that's how Ludon died in the first simulation.
He walked further on, and sure enough, he found a second body.
This corpse died in an even worse state, he was crucified and burned with fire, even if it was charred, and only a human figure remained.
Compared with the first death, the progress of human society is very obvious.
However, the method of killing Ludon is even more cruel.
I don't know whether this is a progress or a regression of civilization.
The only thing that is certain is that the savage bestiality of human nature has never left.
The appearance of the two corpses illustrates a simple truth - Ludon is the original Eternal.
Every time he dies in a simulation, it's a real death.
Every time he exits the simulation, he is reborn.
There is no difference between him and the empress.
After verifying his conjectures one after another, Luden's pace gradually increased.
He continued to walk forward and saw a third corpse.
It was a rudimentary gallows with a corpse hanging from the gallows.
Ludon takes off his hat and pays his respects to his dead self.
He remembered that the Empress had said that she would not be able to find her body anyway.
Now, the truth is revealed, and the corpses are here, like exhibits, in this palace.
In the fourth corpse, Ludon was stabbed into a hornet's nest, and the group of despicable fellows in the Senate made the most courageous decision of their lives to collectively murder the emperor of the Divine State
The fifth corpse.
Corpses walked in front of Ludon like a marquee from life to life.
Luton saw his last body.
No, to be exact, it should be cinders.
He embraced the sun with the ship of Theseus, and before the simulation began, he was doomed.
Since it is a bet with life, whether you win or lose, this life must be handed over.
Among the cinders, there was something white shining, and Ludon couldn't tell if it was a relic or a diamond.
On second thought, a person like him deserves to burn relics?
Ludon smiled.
He looked back, seven simulations, seven corpses, seven different ways to die.
In the first life, Ludon died by stone.
It is the most cruel and real competition, natural selection, survival of the fittest.
In the second life, Ludon died in the fire.
This is the most civilized and barbaric reckoning, and heretics are far more hateful than infidels.
In the third life, Ludon died of greed.
He died in the torrent of the times, listening to the music played between heaven and earth!
In the fourth life, Ludon died in the fear of others.
The Senate feared him, fearing that the Divine State would fall into the hands of others, but his death untied the emperor's shackles, and a person died in exchange for the birth of an emperor!
In the fifth, Ludon died wandering.
Above the waves, upside down, any civilization and individual have such an experience, in the face of their own irresistible forces, they can only struggle, resist, and fight against the wind and waves! A person can be killed, but not defeated!
In the sixth, Ludon died of hope.
After gathering enough information, they have a new understanding of the world and explore the cave to find the world outside the cave.
He was on the road to find this hope until the end of his life.
In his last life, Ludon still died of greed.
Greedy, he longs to know the truth, and this truth is not only a quick knife, but also a poison that kills.
He died seven times.
It stands to reason that Ludon should cherish his life more.
But he is still like a gambler, once he is on the top, he can't wait to bet everything on the table, and the first thing to press is his own life.
Before he knew it, Ludon was on the other side of the palace.
Here, an empty gallows is placed, and there are no corpses.
Looking at the empty gallows, the hanging noose, Ludon stood for a long time.
He tilted his head, and the more he looked at this gallows, the more he liked it, there were traces of time on it, obviously it was not the first time he had used it, he had hanged pirates, he had hanged villains, he had hanged dignitaries of honorable status, and he had hanged insignificant townspeople
If he were to find one of the many ways to die, Ludon would not hesitate to choose to be hanged.
Therefore, he stopped in front of the gallows, unable to move.
An absurd thought came to Luden's mind,
"Perhaps, I should sleep here."
He shook his head at first, then nodded slightly, and felt like mad that this thought was very reasonable.
He had died more than once.
Death was not torture for him, but it would be a relief to be able to drown in eternal rest, as on the Sabbath.
This gallows is placed here to help Ludon be decent.
If nothing makes sense, if light cannot be surpassed, if all he has experienced in this life is just a game, a dress rehearsal, an insignificant experiment
Well, at the very least, Ludon can choose the ending of the story.
A decent ending.
What's more, it's not that he hasn't died, if the people behind the scenes still need him to live, even if Lutdon hangs himself here, a new Lutden will appear and continue his mission.
I have to say that the temptation of this gallows is beyond imagination.
Lutten was almost moved.
Just as he was about to take that step, a note fell out of Ludon's pocket.
He bent down, picked up the note, and read the words on it:
"Take this check to Ludon to cash nine pounds and fifteen pence"
It's an interesting IOU, and the pound is written incorrectly.
Lu Deng remembered that he still owed money to the Qiyun Empire!
They wanted to hang themselves, and they had to sell the noose to Ludon, and they dared to sell it for nine pounds and fifteen pence!
Of course, Ludon didn't lose either.
Because he made a white strip and bought the noose.
The IOU reminded Ludon that he had already bought a noose for himself.
In that case, he had a better choice, and there was no need to die here.
I bought my own noose and didn't use it.
What a waste!
As we all know, Mr. Ludon never accepts waste!
Eventually, Lutdon shook his head and said no to the tempting gallows,
"I may have been hanged, but not now."
