181 Lost
"I know you're a little relieved about the two newcomers I brought, but you're here to give me a face, and let these two newcomers submit a petition, and this matter will be revealed, how about it?" He said to the demon sorcerer, then at me and Zhu Dark, "You two, go and burn those three undead on the ground to ashes." Don't tell me you don't know how to burn it, the most basic runes like 'igniting a flame' will definitely be used. ”
The demon warlock stopped talking, but took two steps back, examining our attitude. Not only him, but several other demon sorcerers stepped back, giving us room to play while staring at us without saying a word. Despite their different expressions, they all have a checking gaze, and each of them has a warlock with advanced awareness. As long as we have the slightest abnormality, they will be keenly aware of it.
The three piles of "flesh and blood blocks" on the ground that were still alive were struggling and twitching in pain, but I couldn't do anything.
The immortals of the second stage will not die even if they are burned to ashes by the flames formed by the spiritual power, but will continue to live in pain as ashes. Once it is flushed down the drain or thrown into a river or lake, it can never be collected again. Even just standing on the rooftop of a tall building and splashing in the wind is enough to leave anyone at a loss. In other words, no one can seek relief for the undead in that situation. The suffering of the undead will continue forever.
However, if I don't, I will lose the approval and trust of these demonic sorcerers, which means that I will lose the opportunity to find and kill the missionary. And as Zhu Ming said, if he can't take advantage of this opportunity to kill the missionaries, then it is very likely that there will be a city-scale destruction in the future, and the tragedy of the mirage will be staged again.
What if you use the power of the true spirit to drive the "Ignite the Flame" rune and burn all three undead to real ashes? That still doesn't work, whether the ashes that have been burned out are alive or lifeless, it is impossible to tell with the awareness of a demon sorcerer.
With three undead people no longer humanoid on one side and the living people of the entire city on the other, it seemed as if I had to make a choice.
"What's the matter, what are you hesitating about?" Lost the voice to me in secret, and probably also transmitted the voice to Zhu Yin, his voice was full of obvious malice, "Your purpose is to save more people, in order to save tens of thousands of lives, how can you not even cross this small barrier in front of you?" Several of the demonic sorcerers here are the eyes and ears of the Red Glove, and the premise of the success of this infiltration plan is to gain their trust in order to deceive the Red Glove's perception. On the other hand, if they completely label you as distrustful, even if they try to gain the trust of other ears and eyes, they will never be able to deceive the Red Glove perception again. ”
As he spoke, his voice became more and more instigated by the temptation of darkness, "I can assure you that as long as you do this, it will be an easy road to the Red Glove and the missionaries. The city will be saved, and your mission will be accomplished. What are you waiting for? Or would you rather sacrifice an unknown number of lives in the future than these three hopeless souls in front of you? ”
His promise is genuine, and it means that the methods he designed for us are indeed working. If he's lying, then Zhu Dian will definitely see through it. But Zhu Dian didn't make a code to remind me that "he was lying".
Even so, I didn't want to pay attention to him because I had a very definite feeling that he was enjoying the situation immensely.
More than anyone here, he wanted to see me and Zhu Dian personally knock the souls of these three tragic victims into hell, and he wanted to watch us sink into unquenchable remorse afterwards.
Yet his words hit the nail on the head with such precision and brutality. It is true that the three undead in front of him were all victims of those demonic warlocks, and they were likely to live ordinary lives before this, but they were transformed into a painful posture of eternal doom by the sudden evil hand. But compared to 10,000 times their human lives, they are so insignificant.
In order to get a chance to save the entire city, even throwing a few innocent people into hell seems to be a good thing to do.
Frankly, I have a feeling that there must be something wrong with this, but I can't put it into words. It's like when Qiao Licorice told me, "Even if hundreds of people have died at my hands as of this year, I just need to save thousands more next year," I also thought it was unacceptable, but I didn't have the ability to refute her. After all, I used to be a serial murderer only halfway through my studies, and it was difficult for me to expect me to have any strong critical thinking skills now.
I'm not even sure if I really think it's wrong, or if I'm just wishful thinking and trying to believe it's wrong.
I don't think I'll be able to tell if I'm going to do what I'm going to do in the end. However, I caught a glimpse of Zhu Di's reaction with my peripheral vision. She looked extremely shaken, and despite the wavering, it seemed as if she was about to convince herself. Seeing this, I quickly made my own decision.
If she does it here, Zhu Di will definitely get farther and farther away from the shadow in her heart, so for her, it is not the pain of life as death.
From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to see her fall into the mire of endless remorse. Or maybe it's just because I don't want to make this evil choice of sacrificing the few to save the many, so I use the beads as an excuse in my heart. I can't tell which side it is.
If you can't come up with a better solution, you have to obey the existing plan, which is the mature approach.
I still don't seem to be mature enough.
"Siren, is the Red Glove watching through his eyes and ears?" I recited it in my heart and confirmed it at the end.
"I didn't sense his gaze, he wasn't looking." The siren said with certainty.
I reached out and shook it, summoning the Siren's Blade. Several of the surrounding demon warlocks suddenly realized the danger, and most of them could not quickly comprehend the current situation in their minds, but their bodies reacted honestly and quickly fled in all directions. But their speed is not much worse than that of a snail in my eyes. I grabbed my weapon and "slowly" walked towards everyone who fled.
In less than half a second, they didn't even have time to run out of the living room before they were all crushed by the siren's blade, and all the spirit fragments were recovered.
One of the demon sorcerers was holding a syringe with "contamination" in it, and I took it in my hand when he was dead and let go. The black liquid "contamination" contained in the transparent syringe was in an unstable state, constantly trying to turn into a fog, but it was firmly contained in a glass tube. I've only seen this thing in the memories of those demon warlocks yesterday, and it's the first time I've seen the real thing, and they only received it from their superiors, so they don't know the specific production process.
I took one look and went to free the undead, and I watched from the sidelines, not surprised, just disappointed.
"You've screwed it all up." He said, "You've blatantly killed so many Red Glove Eyes and Ears, and even trying to gain the trust of the other Eyes and Ears will no longer be useful." ”
"You didn't say you would ask us to do that kind of thing. We will not continue to use this solution, and we will have to take another approach in the future. I said it categorically.
"I don't have other options, but they definitely won't work as quickly as this one, and if you're unlucky, you won't even be able to achieve your goal in four or six days. The safest plan has gone bankrupt, and it's all your fault. He said coldly.
"No...... Li Duo was right. Zhu said suddenly.
"Right? Where? Losing sneered, "A few people or millions of people, which side is more important?" ”
"Only people who don't care about human life will count human lives like you do, and will choose to push a few people into hell here. Human temperament is determined by experience, if we really do what you say and go to the end step by step, do we really care about more human lives? "Zhu Dian seemed to figure something out, and then sided with me.
"I don't need you to take one step at a time, just take this step today, and then you will have a chance to save the city right away. In the end, if you just forget what happened today and become your 'righteous law enforcement warlocks', will all be all right?" "Lose to say.
"If we can accept this kind of thing this time, how can we have a reason not to accept it next time?" Zhu asked rhetorically.
"Speaking of which, aren't you just unconscious?" He sarcastically said, "You only have small love, not big love, and truly enlightened people will not stick to this kind of thing." ”
"If you just have to endure pain, you may only see enlightenment, but if you want to ask whether you can stick to your heart in a special experience, you need to see ......" Zhu Dian seemed to be a little dead-eyed, and he really wanted to debate with such a demonic sorcerer.
I don't think it's good to be wrong with people, and I don't rule out talking about love and enlightenment. Maybe there really is a theory of love and enlightenment, and it may still be a very correct theory, but this kind of humanistic theory is different from scientific theory, and everyone has a different opinion on it. Even if he loses, he can't believe in the so-called love and enlightenment, and the private opinions about love and consciousness that he has revealed after digestion do not contain the slightest credibility.
More important than that is what we do now. The premise of the infiltration plan has collapsed, and we must conceive and execute the next one as soon as possible.
After thinking about it alone for a while, I didn't come up with a reason, and Zhu Di and Lose were still arguing. I was about to speak to them when the sirens suddenly made a noise.
"Wait, I've got some information from the memories of those demon warlocks just now." She said, "Losing is hiding something very important from you. ”
Hearing this, I immediately asked silently, "What is it?" ”
The Lie Detection Bracelet can help her see through all the lies she makes, but if she doesn't lie, but just conceals it, that's a different story.
"Do you remember when a demon sorcerer said that the Red Glove sent a message to everyone last night?" She asked.
"Yes. But because of me and Zhu Dark, he stopped in the middle of the conversation. I said.
"The message is that Red Glove intends to hold a rally this afternoon to turn all the Eve Demon Warlocks who are now active in Puqing City into eyes and ears with whom they can share their consciousness." She said.
"What ......" For a moment, I thought a lot, "Why did the Red Glove do this?" Increasing the number of eyes and ears is equivalent to increasing the chance of being directly attacked by me, and it is impossible for him not to understand. ”
Of course, if he really wants to give up the advantage of perception sharing, he will not be able to continue to compete with the Puqing City Security Bureau, so would he rather risk being killed by me than increase his ears and eyes?
"He has privately explained to his eyes and ears for two reasons: First, because the Puqing City Security Bureau has more reinforcements from you, Red Glove must also further integrate the forces on his side, and for this reason, he must increase his eyes and ears a lot." "Second, he intends to drastically reduce the strength of the shared perceptual connection between himself and his ears and eyes, and in the future, the perceptual information exchanged will be greatly simplified so that it will continue to be used as material for his behind-the-scenes command." For example, if the information he exchanged with his eyes and ears was a video file in the past, the information exchanged in the future will only be a text file. In this case, even if he is killed by you while maintaining the sharing of consciousness, the damage transmitted to his body along the connection will be greatly reduced. ”
"I see......" I thought about myself.
If Red Glove was planning to hold a rally for this purpose, then Zhu Di and I would not need to win the trust of those ears and eyes at all, and we would have had the opportunity to meet Red Glove directly.
However, because my strength was strong enough to threaten his life, I couldn't have had time to get close to him. As soon as he comes within a kilometer of him, he will run away. But in that case, you can also use the plan proposed by Zhu Dark last night, first let her who has no combat power approach the Red Glove, and then use spatial transfer to summon me at close range, and I will kill the other party as soon as possible.
"Loser must have received this message as well, but I don't quite understand, why did he hide it from you and Zhu?" Siren said suspiciously, "The condition for him to join the Security Bureau is to help you find the Red Glove, why do you want to do such a thankless job when there is such a simple and direct method?" ”
I recalled his previous actions and reactions, and finally came to the conclusion, "Because ...... He wants me and Zhu Di to fall, he wants us to be like him. ”
At the same time, I also figured out how to deal with the loss.
Since he wanted me and Zhu to burn the undead into ashes and flush them down the sewer, then I will use the syringe in my hand to transform him into an undead first.
