Chapter 408: The Price

Although Su Ming wanted to analyze it carefully and record something, his brain wouldn't allow him to do so.

Maybe it was because of overfatigue, Su Ming felt that his brain had become a puddle of paste, he just wanted to be in a daze and didn't want to do anything, he would think about Xia Xiaoyu when he was in a daze, and he also dreamed of Xia Xiaoyu when he dreamed last night, it was really a long-lost dream.

He dreamed that Xia Xiaoyu came to the City of Molten Iron, and then the gift promised by the other party was to wrap himself as a gift and give it to him, although this kind of play is a bit old-fashioned, but it is still very happy in the dream...... It's a pity that happiness is always so short-lived, and I suddenly wake up before the main event begins.

The more difficult and difficult the environment is for human beings, the more they will be paralyzed by their fantasies, and this sentence may be justified.

The three people who had eaten the corpses, their minds had been completely led away by the voices in their heads, although they still looked somewhat normal now, Su Ming believed that as time went by, their thoughts would deviate more and more from ordinary people, and in the end, they would definitely become monsters like the people before.

If this theory is applied, as soon as you hear a sound and your mind follows the sound, you have actually become a "monster" at that moment, and monsterization is not a sudden physical change, but a mental change trend.

Assuming this idea is correct, then ......

Then it is no longer possible to continue to delay the length of time for screening, and execute the monsters one after another to select the last surviving people, and it is very likely that the last surviving people are those who have already started, or have already carried out half of the spiritual transformation, and it is meaningless to take that kind of person out of the devil's realm.

So he wants to kill not only those who have symptoms of monsterization in the flesh, but also those who are starting to be mentally abnormal, and he must also kill them as soon as possible.

The longer it drags on, the fewer people will be able to persevere, and in the end, only a group of people with physical and mental mutations will be left...... He must not let that happen.

'Hehe, this is just your guess, if this monstrous trend is not as irreversible as you think, then aren't you going to kill many people by mistake? ’

"You're right, if I'm wrong, I'm doing something wrong."

Su Ming knew very well what he was going to do.

What he is about to do is actually equivalent to the police shooting a person who has thought about committing a crime in his head, but has not committed a crime at all.

If Su Ming's theory is correct, then this person who has thought about committing a crime will eventually commit a crime, and there is no problem with shooting.

But if his theory is wrong, then he may have shot a person who committed a crime of sexual immorality.

So you decided you wanted to do it? Your invincible super-intuition, why don't you help you figure it out now? ’

"Since you can see my heart, you should know my thoughts, right?" Su Ming replied casually.

The voice in my head stopped speaking again.

Su Ming's idea is very simple, in the end, only thirteen people can live, then everyone except the last thirteen people, whether they become monsters or not, must die.

The difference between killing people who have become monsters and killing people who have not become monsters is only whether or not they are morally and ethically.

No matter what, Su Ming will not run away, he feels that doing so is the best result, so he will do it, even if this matter is wrong in the end, he will not regret it, at that time, he will carry this guilt.

However, if he didn't do it because he was afraid that what he was about to do might be wrong, and then it ended up with a tragic result, then Su Ming would definitely regret it.

There is also a trade-off between guilt and the possibility of survival of the thirteen, and this trade-off is too simple for Su Ming.

After Su Ming's voice disappeared in his head, he sat on the chair for a while, then got up and walked outside the house, when he walked to the door, he happened to hear footsteps approaching outside the door, and it happened to stop outside his study, open the door, and it was Zhou Xiaoxiao who stood outside.

Zhou Xiaoxiao stood outside with a straight posture, and was slightly surprised to see Su Ming come out, and immediately smiled: "Want to go out?" ”

"Hmm...... It's to get out. Su Ming was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's face with some surprise, the other party's energetic appearance made Su Ming feel a little weird.

"What are you going to do? Can I follow? Zhou Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes, come here." Su Ming said.

Before, Su Ming chose Zhou Xiaoxiao to be the first person to share secrets, not on a whim, but because he knew people and judged people, and felt that Zhou Xiaoxiao was a person with a sense of justice and a rational and realistic enough.

Su Ming felt at that time that if Zhou Xiaoxiao could help him find a way together and be his assistant, then many things would be much easier.

Although it later proved that Zhou Xiaoxiao's spirit was not as strong as Su Ming expected at the beginning, the other party did help him do a lot of things, but there were many things that Su Ming couldn't hand over to him, for fear that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

However, since Zhou Xiaoxiao now took the initiative to understand something, Su Ming didn't mind letting the other party understand, and ...... The current Zhou Xiaoxiao's temperament has changed somewhat.

"You haven't encountered anything, have you?" Su Ming asked.

"Well, nothing." Zhou Xiaoxiao replied briskly.

Su Ming, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around, stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao's eyes, and frowned: "You are lying." ”

This time, it was Zhou Xiaoxiao's turn to be surprised, his expression froze, he laughed twice, and said generously: "You can see it, in fact, ...... I met God. ”

"God?" Su Ming frowned and repeated.

This word, Su Ming usually has no good feelings, and in the realm of the devil, he has even less good feelings for this word.

Intuition told Su Ming that this god was definitely not a good thing.

"What god?"

"God Tyr, the god of steel, I have been redeemed by him."

"Do you have a voice in your head?" Su Ming frowned and asked.

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile: "Yes, it appeared before, but now it has disappeared." ”

Su Ming sighed, turned around and walked towards the study, Zhou Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Tell me about the God of your mouth first, and leave the rest later."

Su Ming felt that Zhou Xiaoxiao's current situation might be more urgent, and it was more important to figure out the reason for the change in Zhou Xiaoxiao's temperament than to observe the three corpse eaters.

……

Ten minutes later, Zhou Xiaoxiao told all about the torture he suffered from the devil and the redemption of the gods.

After listening, Su Ming fell into deep thought.

There will be no mistake, that god must be a guy, it was made up of this weird world according to Zhou Xiaoxiao's imagination, and Zhou Xiaoxiao looks ...... Su Ming glanced up at the other party again, Zhou Xiaoxiao was squinting, looking at the purple moon outside the window behind him with a smile, this guy was obviously not as normal as before.

But it's hard to say what is not normal, and if you want to know the answer, you have to do a specific test.

In addition, according to the information in the archives of the Investigation Bureau, all the power obtained here is conditional, and the unknown existence here will not give you power for no reason, and you will always have to pay a price, and sometimes those costs are tangible, and the worse ones are like killing people and the like.

And in some cases, these costs are intangible, even very outlandish.

According to this law, Zhou Xiaoxiao should have also paid the price for that bird god.

"Old Zhou, did that god ask you to follow any conditions when he traded with you?" Su Ming asked cautiously.

Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly: "It's really stubborn, why don't you believe in the existence of gods?" Isn't it enough to prove that God is different from the devil when God gave me the courage to face everything, but he didn't ask me for the slightest qualification? ”

Su Ming stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao's face, his brows furrowed even tighter.

The other party is not lying, but the problem is that the transaction cannot be without conditions, you know, the devil will not give gifts to humans.

"Can you repeat to me everything you say from the beginning of your encounter with the god Tyr?" Su Ming demanded.

He felt that things were not as simple as they seemed, and since Zhou Xiaoxiao had already made a deal with the "god", he must have paid something.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed, feeling that Su Ming was too cautious, but he didn't mind, he also wanted Su Ming to believe in God - pious enough, that is, to fight against the devil's power in the devil's territory.

"Then I'll start from the beginning, I remember everything God Tyr said to me, when I was praying to the Book of Origin Iron and was in despair. It was at that time that suddenly a compassionate voice appeared in front of me, and you may not understand it, but it felt like-"

"I understand, just say what the conversation is about." Su Ming interrupted Zhou Xiaoxiao's words, he nodded perfunctorily, indicating that he understood God's mercy very well, and also motioned to Zhou Xiaoxiao to say the main point.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed: "He said, 'Poor boy, raise your head. That's the first thing God said to me......"

In Zhou Xiaoxiao's memories, time passed quickly, although there were many subjective emotions in his description, but because the Rausch god didn't talk too much nonsense to him at all, Zhou Xiaoxiao finally repeated the conversation between him and that god within five minutes.

"I see!" Su Ming tapped the desktop with his fingertips, looked up and said firmly, "There will be no mistake!" The price you pay is fear! And the other party's condition is to let you live! ”

"Haha, this, this doesn't count, right?" Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled dumbly.

Su Ming didn't say anything, tilted his head and touched his chin, staring at him with a serious expression.

"Hey, you don't think God is the devil, do you?"

Su Ming still didn't speak, he felt that the problem was very big, and Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't notice the problem at all at the moment.

Living and losing fear seem to have no negative effect at all, but in fact they are no different from ordinary people losing their sense of pain, ordinary people who lose their sense of pain will lose part of their ability to perceive danger, and if they lose fear, they will also lose their ability to stay away from danger.

As for surviving...... This condition is the same as the demand that you should strive to be the strongest in the world, both of which seem to be inspiring words, but in fact they both deprive the former of the freedom to choose death, and the latter of the freedom to settle for nothing.

In an ordinary environment, it may be nothing to lose these two freedoms, but in the current extremely harsh environment, in order to achieve that condition, there are many bottom lines to give up.

Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't realize that he had been shackled by the so-called "god" he believed in, and that was the problem!

Although Su Ming wanted to tell him the problem, he couldn't do it...... Because maybe Zhou Xiaoxiao has become an enemy.

Do you want to pretend to believe him so that he is unwary of himself?

This kind of thing shouldn't be done, although when they first met, Su Ming was able to disguise himself as Xia Ming and completely deceive Zhou Xiaoxiao, that was because he had long expected this kind of thing, so he practiced Xia Ming's identity in his mind, and his skillful acting skills combined with super intuition deceived Zhou Xiaoxiao.

But now there is no time for him to practice again, perhaps from just now, Zhou Xiaoxiao has already seen that he no longer trusts him.

No, not probably, it is.

"Su Ming, you are so stubborn." Zhou Xiaoxiao's smile disappeared, and his face showed disappointment.

He sighed, got up from his chair with his hands on the armrests, and walked towards the door without looking back.

Su Ming looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao's back, and in just a few seconds from the other party standing up to walking to the door, he experienced a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart.

Finally, the sound of the door closing sounded, and Su Ming let out a sigh.

For the time being, if the situation is really not right, then the only way to do it is to do it.

……

"Brother, that person came to you."

Bai Yu flew into the room and shouted at Bai Chifei, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

"Oh? It came so fast, I thought it would be slower. ”

Bai Chifei slowly opened his eyes, yawned lazily, and sat up straight.

Zhou Xiaoxiao followed Bai Yufei into the house, he swept everyone in the room, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Chifei.

"I'm willing to join you." Zhou Xiaoxiao got straight to the point.

Bai Chifei raised his head and stared at Zhou Xiaoxiao in a daze, until Bai Yufei reminded him, he didn't react, and hurriedly asked, "What made Mr. Zhou change his mind?" I didn't plan to work with us before. ”

"I follow the right people."

"Hah! Don't you think Su Ming is right? ”

"My previous judgment may have been a little wrong, Su Ming is indeed determined and his strategic thinking is also very clear, but there may be some problems with his judgment, he is too stubborn, I can't continue to follow him." Zhou Xiaoxiao said regretfully.

Bai Chifei nodded, he felt that Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to have changed a lot, obviously they met half an hour ago, Zhou Xiaoxiao at that time looked like he had a nervous breakdown, and he looked like a waste, but looking at him like this now, he didn't look like a waste person at all.

Compared with before, Zhou Xiaoxiao is now calmer, calmer, and more calm, which even makes Bai Chifei subconsciously become very nervous.

He felt that the other person's eyes were like a sharp scalpel that could cut his skin and peek into the inside of his body.

He's not the same person at all...... What did he experience in less than an hour?
