Chapter 908 Fearlessness is the first step towards a miracle
The blind boy crawled backwards shivering, and did not stop until his back touched the table candlestick.
The burning candle rolled down from the edge of the table, and when the hot wax was about to drip onto his face, No. 3 stretched out his hand to block his head.
"Answer my question."
No. 3 felt no pain. His ordinary face was very close to the boy. No matter what the boy did now, it would not be under his eyes. escape.
"Ah, ah..." The boy faltered, reaching for his throat. No. 3 opened the boy's mouth and discovered that the back half of his teeth were connected to an iron block that could block his throat.
The children working in this "Hope Pharmacy" do not need eyes and mouths. Even if they hear the "boss"'s instructions, they cannot reveal the secret.
After taking off the iron block, the boy lay on the ground gasping for breath. The first thing he did after regaining his strength was to crawl towards the middle-aged man's body, pick up the knife and stab it into the man's body. Chest.
After taking revenge on the other party, he also touched the middle-aged man's wound with his hand, "appreciating" his "work" in this way.
Spitting out the blood in his mouth, the boy threw away the knife. He stood in front of the clay sculpture blankly: "My name is Xin. Of the nine children who were deceived, I am the only one who survived."
It seemed that because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was broken and uncomfortable.
“My parents and younger brother were both survivors who fled to the new city. We thought this was a paradise, but after we took root, we discovered that this was only a paradise for some people.”
“My father and My mother lived a cautious life, and I often looked down on them. I used to think that he was embarrassing, but now I realize what a disgusting bad boy I am for my brother and I to be able to enter the city. District, they went together to steal cursed objects from a building occupied by ghosts."
"A lucky success doesn't mean anything. They left one morning and never came back."
< br>“The members of the escort team who arranged for the survivors to go out to scavenge knew about my family’s situation. In view of the contribution made by my parents, the deputy captain took us into Zhongcheng District.”
"But the beautiful life he imagined did not begin. He sold my brother and I to a 'store'. After the 'store' lost its value, we were sold into a 'pharmacy'."
"I I lost my eyes in the drugstore. What happened next? Everyone has also seen that I became a clerk in the drugstore, responsible for preparing the sacrifices needed for the sacrificial ceremony in the dark cave."
The boy's voice became more and more fluent, even after encountering such a terrifying situation. However, he still did not give up hope of living.
“You still have one question you haven’t answered me.” No. 3 wiped off the solidified wax on the back of his hand, and then locked his fingers on the boy’s neck: “What is the most regretful thing you have ever done?”
"What I regret most is that I didn't stop my parents that morning a few years ago. If they were still here, the tragedy that followed probably wouldn't have happened." The boy had no intention of struggling at all, so he just Like a fish left to be slaughtered on a chopping board.
"Are you sure?" No. 3 asked again, as if this question was very critical.
"Of course." The boy nodded hard.
Seeing that he was so sure, No. 3 took out the notebook from his pocket: "You regret not stopping your parents, but don't you regret that you have always made them sad? Do you regret selling your brother to the guard? A businessman who doesn’t regret sacrificing his soul to the evil god in the drugstore? To survive in the store, he killed eight other children with his own hands?"
Every time No. 3 said a word, the boy's face turned livid. He thought that after the middle-aged man died, he had done it before. No one knew about it. Unexpectedly, No. 3 and No. 2 would investigate everything clearly.
"The harder you struggle, the more fate will lead you into a darker place. You are the most pitiful, despicable, desperate, and least worthy of sympathy child." No. 3 closed Notes, turned to No. 2 and said: "We found it."
"That's right, I can't see clearly the fate of this child. In the memory world of the shrine, only people related to happiness will be in this situation." No. 2's hand touched the boy's eye socket, and all the invisible chains on the boy's body broke. , his original destiny trajectory was forcibly changed by No. 2.
“I don’t know what you are talking about? I admit that I have done some bad things, but it was just because I wanted to live! How can you young masters who live in the sun understand the outer city? The life of a street kid?" The blind boy became emotional after being exposed.
"Are we children living in the sun?" No. 3 and No. 2 both laughed: "The simulated sun in the test room is indeed dazzling, and almost every child's eyes have been burned."
“I really don’t understand what you are talking about! I don’t understand why you are targeting me. I have no value to you. My organs were used by him. They stole me, my body was modified, and I can only survive underground. I have given everything, and you still refuse to let me go?”
“Maybe you don’t even know your own value? "No. 3 twisted the boy's deformed legs, pulled his feet out of the big black locks, then blocked the blind boy's mouth again, tied him up and put him in a sack.
Dragging the sack with one hand, No. 3 picked up No. 2 and walked out of the pharmacy.
The people around them seemed to be completely invisible to them, and no one stood up to stop them. They walked through the dark alley and walked into the crowded night market, disappearing amid the noisy sales.
"Notify others that the happy soul has been found, and ask them all to gather at the predetermined location."
A member of the escort team passing by No. 2 heard No. 2 seem to have After speaking in a soliloquy voice, his eyes slowly changed. After a brief hesitation, he immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.
Ten minutes later, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. No. 3 dragged the sack to the junction of the middle city and the inner city.
When they entered within a hundred meters of the inner city, two members of the escort personally opened the side door of the inner city for them.
Everything seemed to be arranged. The eyes of the escort members along the way were strange, numb and absent-minded, as if they were puppets being manipulated.
It was not until the next shift that their eyesight gradually recovered, but No. 3 and No. 2 had already entered the heavily guarded inner city.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here anymore." No. 2 said to the two escort members who were leading the way. After listening to the two people, they all pulled out their sabers without hesitation. Stab towards the opponent's chest.
"Ahem!" No. 3 coughed, and then the two escort members stopped, and they turned around and left in a daze.
"Everyone will die, why bother?" Just listening to No. 2's voice, it's impossible to judge his mood when he spoke.
"There is no reason, I just did it subconsciously." A smile appeared on No. 3's ordinary face: "In life, many moments are done casually, and I think it is precisely these Unconscious behavior constitutes a destiny with countless tributaries."< br>
"It's just the sophistry of losers. They always blame fate for everything. I don't want you to become such a person." No. 2's attitude towards No. 3 is completely different from that towards other children. In his eyes, it seemed that only No. 1 and No. 3 existed equally with him.
This kind of equality does not have any special meaning. It just means that in the eyes of No. 2, No. 1 and No. 3 are not the ones to be protected. They are the ones who have to stand up to protect other children.
“I have no idea about controlling my destiny, I just don’t want to be changed again.”
Hearing what No. 3 said, No. 2 didn't speak again. No. 3's personality and ability were very special, and his words seemed to have another meaning.
The inner city is obviously more prosperous and tidy than the middle city. Almost everything produced by human society in the past can be found here. I hope that the inner city of the new city is the last seed of human society, at least here. The people who live there think so.
Walk all the way to the end of the clean and tidy road. In the inner city where land is at a premium, the independent building in front of No. 2 also comes with a large garden.
At the end of the courtyard full of flowers, there is a billboard for the Hope Pharmaceutical Main Store.
“I also want to save many people, but is it worth it?”
No. 3 entered the building and other children were cleaning up the blood. They covered all the blooming flowers with black cloth and blew out all the candles in the pharmacy.
“We are all ready and can start at any time.” No. 4 pointed to the clay sculpture placed in the center of the main store: “It took me a lot of effort to move this statue out of the cellar.”
"Thank you for your hard work." No. 2 nodded, and he signaled No. 3 to release the blind boy.
The boy with his eyes gouged out and a severely deformed body lying on the ground, whimpering helplessly, would make anyone look at him very pitiful.
"Is this the child? He does look miserable." No. 4 walked to the child and frowned: "But there is no death intention in him. He has a strong desire to live. , if we don’t intervene, he should be able to live in such misery.”
"I have changed my destiny. Let No. 1 come over and do it according to the original plan." No. 2 does not seem to have the complex emotions of ordinary people. Everything he does is to finally be able to rewrite his destiny.
"What on earth do you want to do!" The blind boy lying on the ground suddenly spoke, and he spat out the iron block and two teeth in his mouth.
The blind boy was not as honest as he appeared. He never gave up on escaping from the drugstore. In order to be able to speak smoothly, he secretly smashed his own teeth back early.
“What we have to do is very simple, kill you in advance, make all the hatred around you go crazy, disrupt the steps of your blood sacrifice, and accept all the sacrifices for you.”
"You madman! I don't know what hatred and blood sacrifice are! What does this have to do with me!" The blind boy has never been so desperate as now, and No. 2 gave him an unprecedented sense of threat.
"Stop struggling, Gao Xing." After No. 2 said the name Gao Xing, the necrotic flesh in the dark eye sockets of the blind boy turned a bit, and then blood flowed out, and he covered his eyes in pain.
"Impossible! I have never done those things! I just want to live! I just want to live well like other people!"
The bad flesh in the eye sockets appeared There was a crack, and he grabbed the dirt on the ground with his fingers, trying to stand up.
“In reality, you should also have spent such a day, with anger and fear torturing your mind, enduring heart-rending pain, unwilling to surrender to fate, even if you end up becoming a person that everyone fears Monster." No. 1 opened the door and walked out from behind the clay sculpture. His tall body gave all the children a sense of peace of mind.
Seeing No. 1 appear, No. 2 also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have nothing! I'm not born with a personality like you freaks! I just want to live! Did I do anything wrong?" Blood slid down the eye sockets, and the bad flesh was slowly torn apart, and two pieces The stinky black pupils were rolling.
"Those people you killed, did they do anything wrong?" No. 1 raised his arm. At that moment, all the faceless clay sculptures hidden inside Hope New City began to tremble, one by one invisible. The chain was wrapped around No. 1's wrist.
Those fate chains are very similar to those used by No. 2 before, except that they are completely made of dead souls, with dirty blood flowing on them.
“When the fate of the majority can be determined by the minority, the fate itself loses its original meaning. My existence is to break it.” Dragging all the chains of dead souls, No. 1’s belief Converging on the right fist, getting closer to the boy's eyes.
"Fearless personality?" As the pupils opened completely in the bad flesh, another person's voice appeared in the boy's mouth.
The chain of fate tightly bound No. 1's arm, and cracks began to appear on all the clay sculptures on the other end of the chain!
"Fearlessness is just the first step toward miracles." (End of Chapter)
