Doomsday Jigsaw Game - Chapter 530
[Chapter 501 True Courage]
During the flashes of thunder, Tao Xingzhi loomed in front of him.
The aching eyes, stabbed by lightning, gradually adapted to the light in front of them.
For seven hundred years, he was submerged in black blood vessels, and what he saw was what another consciousness wanted him to see.
Maybe it’s the collapse of the scientists, or maybe it’s the gradual strength of the evil ones.
Everything is departing from his original intention, but his mind is filled with the consciousness from the heart of Jing Si—
these incompetent wastes, these bastards who deceived me, they will pay the price for their incompetence and deceit.
In the Science and Technology Building of Denglin City, the scientists believed that immortality and death would make monsters strengthen these two characteristics, both of which were Tao Xingzhi’s curses.
But in fact, immortality is Tao Xingzhi’s obsession and gift.
Under the influence of Jing Si’s heart, his obsession created a realm of human immortality.
He hopes that he can make these former partners have unlimited possibilities.
It is Jing Si’s heart’s curse to allow evil to evolve when human beings die.
A simple curse may not be the despair that cannot be broken for seven hundred years.
But the immortality of human beings gave this curse infinite vitality.
Watching these human beings finally die in Denglin City is not the most painful thing for Professor Tao.
What really hurts him is watching them raise hope little by little, and then watch them give up on themselves little by little.
Although he couldn’t see what was going on inside the building, he knew that it had been a long, long time… no scientist had tried to get out of that building.
“White mist… I don’t remember you… I don’t know you…”
Professor Tao’s breath was very weak.
With the distorted field of white mist and the destruction of Jing Si’s heart by means of karmic fire, big sword of jealousy, etc., the current Professor Tao has become extremely weak.
“I’m just a small person, it’s normal that you don’t remember me.”
Finally seeing this Professor Tao, Bai Wu was a little excited.
Perhaps because of his preconceived impressions, he always believed that Professor Tao was not a villain.
The curse of Denglin City was not what Professor Tao intended.
The Eye of Prell also quickly replied to Bai Wu, but it also made Bai Wu feel the cruelty of reality.
[There is only one way to disintegrate this heart and release the curse and obsession – kill this poor guy in front of you.
It will make you feel bad, because he is indeed a hero. Also because you have promised to save him.
But reality sometimes cannot accommodate our promises. 】
This passage is a bit out of date, but Bai Wu understands everything.
The big sword in his hand suddenly became heavy.
The brave man slayed monsters all the way, and came to the deepest part of the dragon castle. He saw scales and sharp claws growing on the previous brave man.
It is not uncommon for dragon slayers to become evil dragons, this is almost the law of history.
But this time, the dragon in front of him still has the soul of a hero.
He is not the former brave who has become a dragon, he is a brave who has been misunderstood because of the body of a dragon.
Bai Wu’s mind turned quickly, looking at Professor Tao’s eyes, and the last sentence of the note – he knew that this person hadn’t changed in seven hundred years.
It was just the huge beating heart behind him that made Professor Tao a sinner.
He was hanged on the gallows by Jing Sixin, who was transformed into evil thoughts, just like the one in the bible in Bai Wu’s previous life.
But he is worse than that one, because what awaits him is not resurrection,
For seven hundred years of captivity, he was cursed by the heart of Jing Si and hated by the scientists of Denglin City.
Bai Wu observed Tao Xingzhi, and Tao Xingzhi also observed Bai Wu.
Both men share similar traits.
Of course, Bai Wu still remembers that it was written in the file that appeared in the heart of Jing Sizhi, who was kind, that
Tao Xingzhi was a person with a dull temperament since he was a child. .
The same is true for Bai Wu after a certain year.
With just a few glances, Bai Wu could feel the despair and pain, torture and suffering that this professor had endured for seven hundred years, even more so than the scientists in Denglin City.
And Tao Xingzhi also knew that his time was running out. He heard Bai Wu’s answer
, “Who did you… promise? Whose entrustment did you accept?
” When the thought was eliminated and collapsed, in the game scene where everyone was pixelated, Bai Wu received a mission-
to go to Denglin City to rescue the scientists.
In a sense, he accepted Jing Si’s commission.
But when the words came to his lips, Bai Wu smiled, and suddenly changed his words:
“It’s Fu Lei, Hou Haiyan, Bi Yunxia, and Xie Yingjie, all the people who have worked with you before.”
Suddenly there was light in the weak eyes , Tao Xingzhi suddenly raised his head.
Like the reflection of a dying man.
“They never gave up. Maybe in your opinion, Fu Lei and the others haven’t walked out of that building for a long time, but they never stopped fighting.
” Get in touch.”
“My partners and I have experienced more than a thousand deaths and failures… We almost gave up, but it was all because of their encouragement that I finally… finally came to you.”
“Professor Tao, they didn’t give up. Human beings never gave up. Like you, they endured hardships and waited for the day when they could return to their homeland.”
They never gave up.
What an idealized lie, Bai Wu has told countless lies in his life.
But never for a moment, has there been such a desire for this lie to be true.
There has never been a moment when people who hope to be deceived can believe this lie.
The light in Tao Xingzhi’s eyes became brighter and brighter, he knew he was going to die.
His ability to feel his own death is the key to breaking the curse.
So he is also very clear that this young man is doing his best to make himself have no regrets, maybe this is salvation.
Bai Wu is still talking about many things.
“Xie Yingjie has a descendant named Xie Xingzhi. Xie Yingjie has never forgotten what happened back then, and he dare not forget.”
“Humans who hid in the tower, under the leadership of several rulers, dared to open up, seven hundred They have never given up exploring the source of distortion for many years.”
“They have always maintained vigilance against the tower, and they have always yearned for one day to return to their homeland.”
“Everyone in the tower has an unyielding soul. They Never compromised with evil.”
“They live in a tower, free and equal, and everyone is working hard for the happiness of mankind as a whole.”
When Bai Wu told this, his expression was unprecedentedly focused, as if to Deceive yourself.
Professor Tao looked at him and smiled. There was regret in the smile, but also relief:
“It’s really beautiful… But all of this… is fake, right?”
Still telling lies The white mist suddenly stagnated.
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
It seemed that even the heartbeat behind Professor Tao became quiet at this moment.
In fact, Bai Wu had thought of it a long time ago, and was parasitized by this heart for seven hundred years in despair—
he should be very aware of how cruel the reality is and how difficult the living environment of human beings is.
He understands everything.
“Thank you, Bai Wu, thank you for telling me this. Although these things have not yet come true, I am very grateful that there will be someone who will tell me this.”
Tao Xingzhi’s figure looked so lonely.
Bai Wu was suddenly at a loss, how could he be so lonely?
Seven hundred years ago, he had a group of like-minded subordinates.
I have a confidant who is indistinguishable from my own academic level in their respective fields.
If there is anyone in this world who is most like a savior besides the first generation, then in Bai Wu’s view, it must be such a person.
But now this man is going to die.
Before he died, his former best friend, who was the ruler in the tower, might have remembered him, but Denglin City did not wait for the ruler’s salvation in the end.
He is wary of the tower, fearing that the tower will kill the human desire for the homeland. In fact, this is indeed the case. The rulers tried to clean up again and again to hinder human exploration outside the tower.
None of his like-minded subordinates understood him, and they cursed him countless times in seven hundred years.
He is the last defender of mankind, but he stands on the opposite side of everyone.
This is reality.
Bai Wu didn’t want such a reality, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
“You are really a…unlovable person. At the end of your life, can’t you pretend to be deceived by me?”
“Why do you have to die with such a huge regret?”
The black blood vessels tried to get close to the white mist, moving like an earthworm, but when they crawled to the side of the white mist, they were instantly reduced to ashes by the karma.
Facing Bai Wu’s questioning, Tao Xingzhi just said plainly:
“You don’t understand… Bai Wu, the prosperity of human beings… is indeed what I want to see, but it’s not what I want to see the most.”
“My pain is not from being misunderstood, tormented by evil thoughts, or watching the homeland of mankind being occupied by monsters.”
When the beautiful illusion in Bai Wu’s mouth was punctured, the light in Tao Xingzhi’s eyes did not change. Dim, but brighter and brighter:
“I’m just miserable and they chose to retreat.”
“The science and technology building in Denglin City is inaccessible to evil, and the materials for research are inexhaustible. In essence, it is actually another tower.”
” There are many distorted rules in this building. There may be no such rules in the tower, but I know that people’s hearts… are not so beautiful.”
“The appearance of the tower makes human beings think there is a way out. The endless tower, perhaps It really saved the flow of people for a while, but it also replaced the backbone of our mankind.”
“Peace and prosperity are good, but who knows, will the world become dangerous again one day? If one day… the tower Is it collapsed?”
Bai Wu was silent and did not answer, but she was respectful in her heart.
Tao Xingzhi looked at the white mist, as if he saw himself when he was young.
He wanted to reach out to touch the white mist, but was firmly bound by those black blood vessels.
In the end, he could only convey his beliefs with his eyes:
“The so-called courage, in my opinion, does not mean seeing death as home in a dangerous situation; it does not mean not changing face when facing thousands of troops or monsters; nor does it mean daring to be the first in the world. Be independent.”
“True courage is when disasters and catastrophes come, you can work hard to live without wavering, changing, or looking back.”
Every time a sentence is finished, the flesh and blood seem to be dried up, but every word in Tao Xingzhi’s words has a powerful force.
Bai Wu finally understood that Professor Tao’s obsession was not to let the scientists drive out the evil here.
Instead, I hope they can always maintain a fighting mentality.
Even if they fail, in the constant rebirth, they can always have hope.
Don’t waver, don’t change, don’t look back.
It was only then that Bai Wu really understood this person – the unity of knowledge and action.
Courage to him does not mean seeing death as home, because death in this place is just a kind of escape.
Nor is it the calmness in the face of distortions. In the face of distortions and the unknown, timidity is not terrible. What is terrible is that you lose yourself in timidity, or even deny yourself.
Nor is it a maverick trying to perform some kind of feat.
What Tao Xingzhi said was what he did——to live hard.
Don’t waver your will, don’t change your beliefs, never look back before fear.
“I remember. Do you have any other words that you want me to… bring to them?”
Bai Wu knew very well that the last moment had come.
Tao Xingzhi shook his head with difficulty:
“I may have sympathy for them, but I have no guilt. If they choose to leave, I will not keep them, but if they want to stay, they should know what kind of fate they will bear. If they have grudges against me, then it will be reckoned in the next life.”
Bai Wu nodded with no trace of sadness or joy, like a professional executioner, listening to the last words of a prisoner before his death.
In spite of his heart, he has nothing but respect for this unwavering, unchanging, and unrepentant professor.
“Where is Jing Si, do you have anything to say to him?”
“Jing Si…”
Professor Tao’s eyes were complicated, and countless thoughts emerged, but he did not hesitate for too long:
“He is kind after all, but he is not a savior. If one day, you have to fight with him, make the right choice, just like what you are about to do to me.”
Bai Wu heard this sentence The voice behind the words looked at Professor Tao in surprise.
Professor Tao’s eyes were still bright:
“Your name is Bai Wu. I have been waiting in this world for seven hundred years. For seven hundred years, you are the only one who can see me…”
“If this world really There is also a savior, so this savior must be you. I hope you can live without compromise, without wavering, and without looking back.”
Tao Xingzhi stopped talking, and on the gallows formed by black blood vessels, the thunder light illuminated his face calmly.
It’s like a god about to be resurrected.
Bai Wu raised his sword and saw Professor Tao’s calmness at the last moment of his life. The calmness and indifference that he tried to maintain was finally broken by the sadness in his heart.
Thunder shines.
At this moment, this evil heart seemed to feel the threat of death, all the black blood vessels, and even the tentacles all over the entire Denglin City began to frenzy.
Countless black blood vessels seemed to complete new parasitism at this moment, frantically flocking to the white mist, trying to use the white mist as a new host.
At the moment of being touched by the black blood vessels, distorted memory struck, and the clues of the two seven deadly sins emerged in the memory.
Powerful negative emotions seem to want to swallow the white mist –
but everything is meaningless.
Negative emotions did not make Bai Wu lose his mind.
On the contrary, the red karmic fire and cold blue cold wave became more intense, following the trajectory of the great sword, a gully was cut in the huge heart chamber.
With Tao Xingzhi’s death, all the black blood vessels began to shrink, and the tentacles all over the city…the eyes on the body slowly closed, and the scarlet flowers slowly withered.
After dozens of thunderbolts blasted down from the thunder cloud, the thunder cloud actually began to dissipate slowly.
The scorching sun pierced through the thunderclouds and shone down on the city.
The dense black blood vessels turned into black smoke under the sunlight and slowly dissipated.
Professor Tao’s body had been reduced to ashes, white mist stood among the ruins, and golden rays of light fell on him.
After a long time, Bai Wu still didn’t leave, and he didn’t wake up from his trance until Wu Jiu arrived.
“What’s the matter with you?”
Wu Jiu looked at Bai Wu with a somewhat lost look, extremely unfamiliar.
Bai Wu was a little tired:
“Killing someone who worked hard and never lost himself is a bit uncomfortable.”
Wu Jiu didn’t speak, and patted Bai Wu’s shoulder.
Although Bai Wu regained some emotions, he was not a sentimental person. He quickly cleared up his emotions, and the tiredness on his face disappeared:
“By the way, there are two clues to the Seven Deadly Sins. In a cemetery.”
(This is to make up for zero o’clock yesterday, and there will be more at twelve o’clock tonight.)
