In the past, in Africa, bison that ran slower in a bison herd would be eaten by lions.

Now, in the realm of the devil, those who cannot withstand the temptation will be devoured by the devil, just like the bison that are eaten.

Before, Su Ming thought that those people couldn't do it, but now Su Ming knew that there was nothing wrong with them, they just ran slower than others, not that they were evil by nature.

No one does not fall...... It only takes one chance for all to fall, and that's what the devil wants to see.

Humans always laugh at the bison for their great strength but dare not fight back against the lions, in fact, the same is true of humans, when the devil is devouring his own kind, who can stand up to the devil?

The funny thing is that now Su Ming has found out that he can obviously lead the herd to counterattack the lions, but he is just using his own standards to single out those old, weak, sick and disabled skinny cattle to sacrifice to the evil lions.

Since the devil wants them to give up their dignity as human beings, they should also show it human courage.

Since the other party can use those ridiculous baits to make people willing to fall, then he can also find a way to use something to reawaken everyone!

That's the essence of this game, it's not a race for survival, it's a clash of faith between humans and the devil!

Su Ming looked down at the list of the only remaining people in front of him, and with a stroke of his pen, he circled the names of the elderly people in it.

"If the lord of this world is wrong, then please prove it to me!"

……

The next day, Su Ming found the first old man.

"Old man Xu, I want to discuss something with you."

The old man surnamed Xu glanced at Su Ming, stood up with his weak body, and walked towards Su Ming, and the son and daughter-in-law beside him hurriedly got up to support him.

"Dad, I'll help you!"

"You don't need the two of you to help, you just stay here, Mr. Xia has something to say to me alone, right?" Old man Xu looked at Su Ming with cloudy old eyes, his eyes meaningful.

Su Ming nodded slowly, his son and daughter-in-law looked at his father, then at Su Ming, and finally slowly returned to his place and sat down.

Su Ming stepped forward to support the old man and walked to a remote place, he helped the old man Xu to sit down on the decorative stone bench in the garden, and the other party just sat down, and then said: "Mr. Xia, are you going to use the old man's life?" ”

Su Ming was slightly stunned, and nodded slowly: "What I said yesterday is true, have you ever thought about it later?" ”

"Of course, how could you not want to!" Old man Xu smiled bitterly, "It's not just me, we've all thought about it...... Young people may not know who is missing now, but we who are old and immortal know it very well. ”

Old man Xu sighed, his face worried.

Among the missing people, the elderly account for a very large proportion, why so many elderly people will disappear, the reason is unknown, but the elderly are more likely to be murdered, but it is an indisputable fact, as one of the priority targets of murder, Xu Old Man naturally understands very well in his heart.

"Mr. Xia, what are you going to do? Is there really no way? ”

Su Ming was silent.

Old man Xu sighed and said slowly: "I'm just an ordinary blacksmith, I don't have any brains, but I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the overall situation, I just hope you can tell me the real situation now, so that I can be mentally prepared." ”

"You don't speak like a brainless person, if only everyone had the same awareness as you." Su Ming let out an emotional sigh.

He had already seen that this respectable old man would finally accede to his request...... Even now he hasn't mentioned it.

"Old man, what I said is true, only thirteen people survived in the end.

But I don't think it matters who survives in the end, what matters is how those thirteen people survived in the end, by robbing other people of food and murdering other people's lives? Or was it protected by others and survived?

This is important. ”

"I don't quite understand what you mean, I hope you can make it clearer."

What a sincere old man, Su Ming thought to himself.

He reorganized the language and said it again:

"This other world wants us to kill each other and hurt each other until the last thirteen people are decided, and it is a doomed result that thirteen people will survive, but how these three people survive can be decided by us."

After speaking, Su Ming paused and changed to a more understandable statement again.

"Perhaps, there really is a devil in this place, and that devil wants us to kill each other and intrigue with each other. But we can also choose to fight it, although then there is only a dead end in the end, and everyone will still die, but I think ...... That doesn't mean we've lost. ”

Old man Xu was stunned for a moment, his somewhat dim eyes slowly brightened, and he had a little more inexplicable look.

"You mean, we're going to choose our own way of dying now, right?" He raised his hand and trembled in question.

"That's right." Su Ming nodded deeply and slowly.

Old Man Xu took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and looked at the purple moon in the sky, his chest was no longer stuffy.

Soon after he came in, he felt tightness in his chest, and he had not thought about the proposition of death countless times.

As a bad old man who has lived for nearly seventy years and has a strong body, he is not afraid of death.

Death is meaningful, although it may not be meaningful to the dead, but it is meaningful to the living.

He had only been an iron striker since he was a child, and he didn't know much about philosophy, but he also knew how it would be better for him to die, especially in this kind of ghost place, and he was more determined than ever how he should meet death...... He hoped that his death would give his son, grandson, and daughter-in-law the courage to remain optimistic, that they would not despair so much, and that they would know that no matter how difficult the predicament was, it would eventually pass.

This kind of idea is whimsical and unrealistic, but it does exist in Old Man Xu's heart.

Su Ming's words just now coincided with his thoughts.

Yesterday, when Su Ming said in front of everyone that he was going to challenge the master of this world, he felt his heart shake as if he had been hit by a hammer.

He felt that Su Ming's words were good!

He'd been wondering what the hell this was here? Let the good people become monsters! Let the neighbors who were originally kind and angry become like enemies!

If there really is a master in this place, then he also wants to challenge that person like Su Ming, even if he is just a bad old man, even if he has no ability, he will spit on the person who controls everything, and scold again-

"You think you're capable of doing this! Do you think this will turn us against each other and fight in the nest? I'm telling you to think too much! Don't look down on people, you can't do anything but hide behind like a turtle grandson! ”

He dreamed of this several times, and in the dream everyone was united, everyone was hungry and had nothing to eat, the adults gave the food to the children and women, he himself gave the food to the young men, and then he died, and the other old people did the same.

The tragic death of them in the dream, although they were all dead, made him feel that this ghost place was not terrible at all, and this strange world seemed to set off the background of their noble personality.

The way to die in his dream is the way he wants to die!

But...... Dreams are always dreams, and when you wake up, you know that there is no such thing.

Self-sacrificing for others is only in dreams, and in reality, who would give up food to others.

Except for mom and dad, who will give food to children? The canned food in the old man's hand was not given out voluntarily, but the person disappeared inexplicably, and the canned food was also gone.

Now it is different from when Old Man Xu was young, when he was young, once the demon broke half of the city, he and a large group of iron ore diggers were trapped underground, and remembered that the last steamed bun was given to him by the old miners of the same shift, saying that he had no strength to hold on, and the last bite of food was left for him.

"We shouldn't kill me and I'll kill you, compare each other to see who has the ability to live, that's too wretched, even if it's death, it's ugly. I want everyone to understand this...... It's not terrible to die, it's terrible that even your own way of dying is chosen by others. Su Ming said softly, as if he was saying to himself, and as if he was saying to Old Man Xu.

"Good! I've wanted to do this, old man! ”

Old man Xu crossed his hands in front of his chest, tilted his head slightly, tears rolled in his eyes, but his face suddenly became arrogant:

"If only they could live like human beings! What's the big deal about dying a few old guys!

There is a good saying! Some people die lighter than a feather, and some die heavier than a mountain! Since they are all going to die! …… That can't die! I'm going to die like a feather and fly into the sky! ”

Su Ming's eyes were slightly red, and Su Mingqiang asked with a smile, "Do you know what I'm going to ask you to do?" ”

"Hahaha!" Old man Xu laughed loudly, "Hey! I guessed it a long time ago.,I guessed it halfway through what I just said.,Last time there was some blood.,This time it's a life! …… No big deal! ”

……

After separating from Old Man Xu, Su Ming wanted to continue to find other old people, but Old Man Xu said that the others were persuaded by him, and after mixing in the manor for so many days, they were all familiar with each other, so it was faster for them to explain it internally.

Su Ming and Old Man Xu only parted in the morning, and in the afternoon, he brought a large number of old men and old ladies to report.

When I walked into the main house, the old men who walked in the front were scolding and scolding, as if they were scolding men, and the old woman was making a lot of fun or something.

Some grumpy old women in the back also scolded non-stop, and the room was extremely lively for a while.

Su Ming heard the voice, walked out of the study, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the groups of old people below.

Old man Xu, who was walking at the forefront, also happened to see Su Ming, raised his hand and greeted him arrogantly: "We are here!" ”

As soon as Old Man Xu finished speaking, another voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Hey, you guys, you wait for me." ”

The old men and women who were walking in front suddenly quieted down, and they all turned to look at the door.

Outside the door, a thin old man with a goatee walked into the antechamber with slow steps.

Old man Xu let out a long sigh and comforted him: "Old Wu, don't be reluctant, it's okay." ”

The old man with a goatee sighed and said in a trembling voice, "You are all gone, so leave me alone...... It's not interesting.

Lao Xu, I've thought about it...... You're right, it's a young man's world outside, and we old bones have nothing to fight about! ”

"So I'm ...... After thinking about it, I think it's better for everyone to be together, and there is a companion on the road. Old man Wu said with tears in his eyes.

Old Man Xu nodded vigorously, and instead raised his head to look at Su Ming.

He touched his thinning hair and smiled shyly: "Xiao Xia, I have something to ask you." ”

Su Ming looked at this group of old people with a dumbfounded expression.

All along, there has been an abstract illusion in Su Ming's heart, in which he is carrying a very heavy burden, alone on the road full of thorns, the burden in the fantasy is very heavy and heavy, so heavy that he wants to let go, but he is afraid that he will not be able to carry it again after putting it down.

But just now, for a moment, he felt as if his shoulders had suddenly become lighter, as if someone had taken the burden from his shoulders.

Su Ming felt that this might not be an illusion.

Perhaps, in the first place, he didn't have to go alone.

"Say it!" Su Ming responded loudly on the second floor, feeling a little happy.

"Haha, that's it...... That's right, we are all rough people, all blacksmiths! I can't read or anything, I want to write something before I leave, and I want to ask Elton to help me write. Old man Xu said loudly.

"No problem, I'll write it for you personally." Su Ming readily agreed.

"That won't do! You can't, you have to let Elton come. ”

"Why?" Su Ming was a little puzzled, he observed the other party's expression and tried to see something, but he only saw some twisting, and there was something meaningful and indescribable, as if this practice was a special care for him, a young junior.

"Call Elton! I said it to him personally! Old man Xu said with a big grin.

"Master, just leave it to me."

At some point, Elton appeared behind Su Ming.

He took a few steps forward and walked to the fence and waved his hand to the people below: "Brother Xu, Brother Zhang!" ”

"Hey, you're here just in time, hurry up! A lot of people are waiting for you to write a suicide note. A rickety old man below who Su Ming didn't know shouted at Elton.

Su Ming turned his head and looked at Elton in surprise.

Elton shrugged his shoulders slightly at Su Ming, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile unique to a mature old man: "Every day when I distribute food, I will say a few words to everyone, it should be understandable that people of the same age have more topics, right?" Don't look at me like this, I also lived in the slums when I was a child. ”

"That's really, really...... Real people don't show their faces. Su Ming nodded stunned, and didn't recover for a long time.

……

Su Ming wanted to put pen to paper, and the scenes of the days spent with Xia Xiaoyu flashed quickly in front of him, and he wanted to write too many feelings, but he didn't know where to start writing for a while.

He didn't want to write too long-winded, like an old lady's footcloth, but if he skipped it directly, he felt that it was inappropriate.

After staring at the letter paper and hesitating for a long time, Su Ming finally put down his pen.
