"Ahh ”

The young priest, with the appearance and voice of Li Lin, said:

"It's not the adult's deity, it's just a dream projection based on your memories and personal impressions, which is something like a puppet suit. ”

Sloss spoke lightly, but Roland's defense did not relax in the slightest.

There is no point in using a sword in the world of dreams and spirits, and the rules of the real world do not apply here - these Roland have long known that actions such as holding a sword are just to maintain vigilance.

Sloth is good at mental attacks, and he is also good at lying, and he is the kind of super advanced fraudster who can sell you and help you count the money. The world where language can be lethal weapons is a playground for him to do whatever he wants. If you follow Sloth's pace, God knows what traps await.

"Worried about traps, although this is an inevitable reaction, but the game hasn't started yet, and if you get into the state too early, it will be very uncomfortable to follow. ”

"Games?"

"That's right, the ultimate game of fortune called 'The Faustian Trial'. ”

The corners of the priest's mouth contorted, and his upright face smiled like a demon.

"Faust" is the representative work of the German writer Goethe, and it is the crystallization of his lifelong thinking and artistic exploration. Faust was conceived and written throughout Goethe's life, beginning in 1768 and not being completed until 1832, 64 years before Goethe's death. The whole play is based on the German folk legend of Doctor Faustus and the devil Mephistopheles, and is a great poetic drama that combines realism and romanticism.

As for the suffix test, it is derived from the infamous or famous "Stanford test".

Two groups of volunteers play the roles of "prisoners" and "guards", respectively, and violent assault is prohibited, but any form of mental abuse is allowed. As a result, the experiment, which was originally planned to last for two weeks, had to be stopped on the sixth day, because by this time everyone had become too involved in the drama and considered themselves real "prisoners" and "guards". The "prisoners" have become lambs who do not know how to resist and obey, and the "guards" have become demons who take pleasure in torturing the "lambs".

What is the game of fortune that combines the two......

"The rules are simple. ”

An extremely cruel smile appeared on the priest's lips.

Li Lin wouldn't have that kind of smile.

Humans don't have that kind of smile either.

However, only humans can smile like that.

The cloudiness of blasphemy and lust was too human, too far from Li Lin's bottomless depth—that's why the pupil was so disgusting.

"You're going to go through all sorts of things, and as long as you shout 'Stop!', I'm going to win. In turn, it will end in a big win for you. ”

"What about the time span, I don't necessarily have to play with you all day, right?"

"The six hours of 'over here' will only pass in a few minutes in reality. ”

"Where's the referee?"

"The space itself is the referee, and the confrontation between us creates pressure that builds up over time, and the moment you decide the winner, the pressure that builds up will flow towards the losing side. It's like a dam, isn't it?"

"There is no proof, no guarantee, no unilateral rules. ”

"That's right, you can't be sure if what I'm saying is true or not, or if you're hiding information that is not good for you. ”

Sloes flipped his right hand, and there was an extra dice between his fingers, and he saw him playing with the six-sided dice and said calmly:

"Do you want to continue, then, and decide with me in this unpredictable gamble, and decide here whether to stop here or move on, it's up to you. ”

“......”

"Of course, if it's a waiver, I'm warmly welcome. ”

The dice arced through the air and fell into the boy's palm, his thin red pupils silently saying, "Give me the answer."

“...... Even now, I won't believe you. ”

The boy said without hesitation.

"But you are not wrong about one thing, it is my choice to go forward or give up. ”

Life is like dice, and you have to roll your own life.

Life is a big gamble.

The various endings are like the six sides of the dice, showing different futures with their own choices and actions.

Successful;

Go down in flames;

The family has a lot of money;

Flat broke;

The boy is proud;

The evening scene is bleak;

Different choices paint a different picture of the future.

Giving up is also one of the choices. And it's the choice chosen by most normal people.

Compared with options with high returns and high risks, it is more realistic and easier to go with the flow and be an ordinary person.

Not to mention the unattainable task of changing the world, which seems to be less difficult to touch the stars with a bamboo pole.

Regardless of whether or not there is such an extremely abnormal existence as a divine will agent, it is extremely difficult to reform the way of existence of society by relying solely on individual strength. Not to mention if it is premised on minimizing bleeding deaths.

In this way, it is much easier to match his ideas with the values of the society to which he belongs, and Roland asks himself that he has no position to insult how despicable and timid this practice is.

The rules are indeed beautiful, and Roland believes that the rules themselves are not wrong, just like those words of Li Lin, correct and philosophical.

But being right isn't everything.

Life should not be a slave to the right, nor should a creature with intelligence be a puppet of the rules.

Even if you are deprived of everything, even if you are beaten into a honeycomb, even if you die on the side of the road, even if you become food for wild dogs-

How to live.

How to die

These things –

"The path I want to take, only I can decide, only I can decide. ”

In ancient times, a general who was determined to challenge rules and authority once commanded his army to cross a river that would be considered a rebellion if crossed.

"The dice have been dropped. ”

The hexahedron fell back into Sloth's hands, and the two beasts smiled fearlessly as they watched their prey.

“......？”

Valrhona stared at the hollow face in the gap.

Stopped.

The girls, who had been pulling at the armor plate a second earlier, stopped moving.

The girls in the hull of the ship also stopped their aggression at the same time, and maintained their last positions, motionless as sculptures, while colorful phosphorescence spilled from their bodies, floating and swaying in the cabin.

"What the hell is this ......"

"Good chance!

Through the microphone, you can hear the roars of the crew members who have come back to their senses, and the anger and the pleasure of revenge that had been rubbed against the floor before swelled and spread in one breath.

But Valrhona, who came to her senses, stopped them.

Without knowing what the luminous phenomenon is, it is too dangerous to approach it rashly.

What's more-

The other party is a biological weapon under the control of the Seven Deadly Sins.

If anyone can intervene in "their" movements.

“...... To win, Roland. ”

Looking at the white armor that fell silent and continued to shine with colorful light, Valrhona whispered.
