Chapter 165: Disaster Strikes [Ask for Subscription, Ask for Recommendation!] 】
"Demons are probably the closest biological clock to humans that can communicate...... Originally, I thought so, but then something happened that made me change my mind.
Those who make deep contracts with demons and end up being consumed by demonic forces may still have human traits at first, but in the end, these traits will eventually disappear, and these traits will disappear quickly...... It's a process I've witnessed firsthand.
A devoured deep contractor is bound to become a demon, and from the time he was a human who couldn't see me, he was slowly able to see the impact I had on reality, and then gradually he could vaguely hear my voice, and finally, until he could see me when I forced him to attract attention.
I witnessed the whole metamorphosis of a man from a human to a demon, and then I also learned a bad conclusion.
It's true that the demon is not human, and although it looks very similar to a human, it actually has no human characteristics at all.
I can't understand his thoughts, and he can't understand my thoughts, and I'm not just talking about the three views, but that those demons have almost lost their ability to empathize with humans, and they don't understand human desires at all.
I told him that I was sad, and that although he would echo it verbally, he only thought of it as a cockroach with a broken leg rolling on the ground, and that he would help me when I was useful to him, but he would never help me if I was useless. ”
"Why don't you use a dog or cat as a metaphor?" Su Ming interjected.
"Because a dog or a cat is injured, humans can feel it, but when you see an insect hurt, you just think, 'Oh, this insect is hurt, it's in pain,' and you can make judgments, but the final mood doesn't affect because you don't care.
I don't even care, let alone understand the idea of insects, I am a thing like an insect in the eyes of the other party, or even less worthy than an insect, just a machine with laws of operation.
Of course, it's not just me, but humans are like that in the eyes of the demons.
I think that when I get along with demons, I actually get along with a group of talking cats and dogs, and talking to them can send loneliness, but they can't understand it after all, and then I even like dogs more.
That's when I was looking for a human? Find a human who can see me.
Then, I met you.
At that time, I really thought, I will do whatever you do, I will help you? No matter what kind of person you are? I'm going to be like you, because you mean something so much to me.
That feeling is indescribable? It's like someone locked in a dark room suddenly slamming open the door, and countless possibilities are unfolding in front of you? Many things that can't be done can be done at once.
But then? I find you to be a good person...... And if you end up being a heinous murderer? I really don't know if I'll continue to like you, and then I will probably keep in mind you now, and then continue to live alone.
Of course, I'm not sure? It's possible that I'm also going to be the big bad guy with you? After all, two bad guys sound much more comfortable than one good guy. ”
Xia Xiaoyu lowered her head and said intermittently, the logic was intermittent and the expression was messy, she didn't seem to care if Su Ming understood what she said? It's more like reminiscing about your own life, as if you're meditating on yourself.
Su Ming observed Xia Xiaoyu with interest? Xia Xiaoyu gave him the feeling before, as if she was born to exist to meet herself.
Su Ming didn't know why he had such a domineering idea, maybe it was because Xia Xiaoyu was inseparable from him and was so good to him.
But after listening to what he said just now, he realized that Xia Xiaoyu was a person with her own independent life, and before meeting her, she had also experienced many, many incredible things.
Although hearing Xia Xiaoyu's answer, Su Ming felt a little lost in his heart, but he was more happy, Xia Xiaoyu should be like this, she should not be her vassal.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu also came back to her senses from her contemplation, she looked at Su Ming, looked into the other party's eyes, and recalled the answer she had just gotten.
She wanted to ...... If Su Ming really became a heinous villain, if Su Ming treated her like she is now, then she would definitely still be with Su Ming.
She couldn't tell the reason, she only knew that she enjoyed the feeling, and before entering the white mist, when Su Ming told her not to follow, she felt very uncomfortable, but she was also very happy.
If Su Ming had insisted on not letting her in, she would have been very sad, but if Su Ming hadn't been indifferent in the first place, she wouldn't have been so happy.
This psychological effect is very contradictory in behavior, and even Xia Xiaoyu can't tell why she is like this.
She only knew that she liked the feeling of being cared for by Su Ming, and when Su Ming asked her not to follow up, she was very happy, although he only said a trivial "not allowed to go in", but it meant that he wanted to protect her.
It was the first time she had been protected, which made her want to be protected by the other party all the time, and never touch anything that might hurt her again, but on the other hand, she wanted to give everything for him and prove to him that she loved him the same.
Later, when Su Ming insisted on not letting her in, she was so sad that she was about to die, and she felt that Su Ming didn't know how much she cared about him...... He didn't know what she could do for him, and at that time she just wanted the other party to understand her, and nothing else mattered.
So Xia Xiaoyu knew the answer to the question just now, and she figured it out, if she was loved, it didn't matter if she was a good person or a bad person, she would be with Su Ming.
"I'm not going to be a bad person." Su Ming looked at Xia Xiaoyu and said with great confidence.
But this was not the answer Xia Xiaoyu wanted, she opened her mouth to ask the question she cared about, suddenly hesitated, and said with a smile: "Well, I believe you!" ”
At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the house, Su Ming's expression changed suddenly, and he got up and walked outside.
Opening the house, he saw people running outside towards the wooden wall on the outskirts of the village, and Flora followed out of the house and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Looks like something happened!"
Su Ming followed the crowd in the direction of the wooden wall, followed the villager gate to the wooden wall, and looked into the distance.
He looked far away, and saw a black carpet moving towards him on the plain, far away.
The black carpet was overwhelming, like a tidal wave, and the tumbling swarms of insects were stacked on top of each other, eroding the bushes and trees in their path.
The beetle's hard shell reflected in the sunlight, revealing a metallic texture, like a jet-black iron stream, and the friction of their feet and limbs and the humming of their wings vibrating could be heard from a great distance.
The earth seems to tremble!
"Plaguebringer! It's the Plague Bringer! Run, everybody! ”
The villagers around them shouted hoarsely, and then the village was full of shouts, and the others ran out of the houses in a panic to lead the horses in the stable.
They all packed their bags early, and each one was very lean, and they hung it on the sides of the horse's neck, and they could go immediately on the horse.
It can be seen that the matter of changing the place of residence is a very common thing for them, although everyone is a little flustered, but they all know what to do, and they are not headless flies.
Su Ming retracted his gaze and returned to the direction of the plain, the pitch-black carpet was closer than just now, and it was still approaching rapidly.
All the able-bodied men of the village remained, and Sara stood on the wooden wall, shouting something in the local language, and the men responded loudly.
Some of them picked up bales of straw and threw them down the wooden walls, while others brought buckets of fuel oil and poured them down the edges of the stakes.
Su Ming looked down and saw that the fire oil poured from above poured into the ditch at the door, the long ditch extended to the side and left and right, not to mention the length of a hundred meters, it is conceivable that as long as there is a little fire, the door of the village will immediately pull out a hundred meters of fire line, and if the plague messenger wants to cross the fire line, he must detour a hundred meters.
They were going to burn the wooden village to stop the plaguebringer from moving on, and Su Ming understood their intentions.
"It's amazing how much wisdom only the weak can grasp."
Su Ming sighed at the decisiveness of the people in this village, and gave up the entire wooden village to escape, which was tantamount to a strong man breaking his wrist!
"Su Ming, what should we do?" Flora asked.
Sara also came over and said, "Take this little girl with you, get on the horse with me at once, and go to the next village!" Leave it to the High Priest! ”
"High Priestess, he wants to stay here too?" Su Ming looked suspiciously at the high priest not far away.
The high priest put his hands together on his forehead and said something in his mouth.
"There are high priests in other villages, and the high priests and high priests can communicate with each other spiritually, right?" Su Ming boldly guessed.
Sara stared at Su Ming in surprise, stunned for a few seconds, and nodded heavily in acknowledgement.
"That's right, it's the power that the God of Hope has given to the High Priest! Although it is weak, it can keep the spark alive. Sara said.
"What about Anthony? The god you spoke of who could control the flames, will he leave with us? ”
"He's on his way! Anthony can only deal with the infected, and cannot be an opponent of the Plaguebringer! Stop it! Let's go! This plaguebringer is very different! His speed...... Looks a little unusual! ”
At this moment, Sara had already understood that their previous guess was wrong, and it was not two plague bringers who attacked those two villages, but a special case of an ordinary plaguebringer with an unusually fast speed!
He is also a very special superior among the plaguebringers!
"Let's go!" Sara looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming nodded, thinking that since the key people left, then they should also leave.
Su Ming led his men down the wooden wall and rode away with Sarah.
Their horses ran out of the back door of the village, and in the blink of an eye they swept hundreds of meters until they could no longer see the village behind them.
He had never tried to ride a horse by himself, so he didn't feel easy to try, and finally chose to ride with Xia Xiaoyu, Xia Xiaoyu followed Sara closely, and Su Ming hugged Xia Xiaoyu's waist to stabilize his body.
Beside her, Flora rode a horse and put Alice between her arms, reminding Alice to cling to the horse's mane.
Su Ming was in the bump and looked back in the direction of the village, where thick smoke rose and the village was set on fire!
