The artifacts of the heavens on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 186 The Meaning of Living

When someone of the same kind is in danger, to save or not to save?

This is a problem for many people.

Because they have to consider many things, such as their own safety, whether there will be trouble after saving someone, whether there is any benefit, and so on.

For Luke, this wasn't a problem at all.

Even if he still hasn't figured out whether he is a human being, even if he was betrayed by the human he saved and almost died, the radiation pollution from the nuclear weapon detonated by the person he saved still remains on his body.

He didn't even feel that if he saw human beings in danger, he had the right to stay out of it.

Now, his only question is whether the little girl is a real human being, or an illusion created by a monster.

There is no problem if it is a human being, but if it is a monster, it is a big problem for him to save it.

Soon it became clear to Luke that he didn't have time to ask questions here.

Whether to save or not, he had to make a decision within three seconds.

Because, around the little girl, many monsters, attracted by her cries, have found her, and will soon rush to hurt her.

What's more, the little girl walked closer to the edge of the display case step by step with staggering steps. In the next step, she would step into the air, fall 15 meters, and fall into the middle of countless monsters.

Want to help?
A voice in my heart is asking.

save!
Another voice replied, in case, even if there is a one in a million chance, the little girl is a real human being, so it is necessary to save it!

Without any hesitation anymore, Luke jumped off the roof of the shopping mall more than 20 meters high.

He holds a handful of silk thread in his hand, which will cushion him as he approaches the little girl, so that he can successfully catch the falling little girl.

Maybe he will be entangled by the monsters and there will be no chance of escape, but he can be sure that he will definitely be able to send the little girl to the small room where he stayed just now before being killed by the monsters.

It might not be safe there, but it was the best way Luke could think of right now.

Three, two, one!

Luke successfully rushed to the little girl's side just before the little girl fell, and successfully caught the little girl.

However, the facts did not develop as he expected.

The little girl he received was not a real human being, but a monster with a hideous face.

In the next moment, Luke's heart was pierced by the "little girl" in his arms, and he barely felt any pain. His vision began to blur, and it was impossible to see the true appearance of the "little girl".

In the next moment, Luke screamed and gasped, surprised to find that he had returned to that ordinary street again, and once again saw that tired and desolate young man in the water-stained vanity mirror.

This, what's going on? !
Don't mention how surprised Luke was.

Didn't he already die just now? He clearly felt the weird feeling of being pierced through the heart, and the painful feeling of his whole body being pulled out instantly.

However, how could he come back to life without any injuries, even the place where his shirt was punctured had completely recovered.

Could it be that because he didn't complete this survival mission, the system made an exception and restored his time, allowing him to return to the few minutes before his death?

With this guess in mind, Luke used the dim lights around him to observe the seemingly normal pedestrians around him, and he found something unusual that he hadn't noticed before.

The bustling street, the quiet and indifferent crowd, and the black lines gradually emerging on their faces, as well as the eyes staring straight at him.

Sure enough, the time was answered.

So, will the monster that turned into a little girl still be in the same place in the mall?

With deep-seated hatred, Luke speeded up his pace and rushed towards the familiar shopping mall, completely ignoring the changes that were about to occur around him.

One minute later, a shrill and strange cry came from the place where Luke had been. The changes among the pedestrians quickly unfolded, and it would soon develop into a battle like the last time.

At this time, Luke was no longer shuttling through the crowd of monsters like last time. He had successfully reached the third floor of the mall, standing above the display cabinet he had seen before.

The cardboard box containing the little girl was indeed here.

Luke raised the lightning-flashing Clear Sky Hammer high, and he could strike down at any time to kill this damned monster that cheated his feelings.

However, before actually making a move, he hesitated.

What if, even if there is a one in a million chance, the little girl is a real human being?

Are you really going to kill her?
The next moment, an extremely sharp light pierced the carton and Luke's heart, killing him again and sending him back to the moment when he first appeared in the original world.

How to do?
Want to kill her?
Are you ready to kill a real human little girl?

Luke, who was bent on revenge, hesitated again when he appeared at the entrance of the mall for the third time.

Forget it, don't go in, it doesn't matter if she is human or not, as long as she doesn't die by my own hands.

The second voice sounded immediately, are you really going to give up, have you forgotten what you promised me to do?

forget? !
The word terrifies Luke.

He seems to have really forgotten something, such as that blurred but clear figure, such as the strange but familiar call, such as the bursts of deja vu but indistinguishable fragrance...

When Luke was still very weak, he took a huge risk to devour the huge energy contained in the mutated Fifteen Ton Ant warrior.

That huge energy turned into a majestic dark purple dragon, fighting in his body with the colorful mottled dragon left over from the nuclear radiation, making him recall some memories that seemed to be sealed by the system.

In the memory, there is a beautiful figure asking him, "Do you still remember your unwillingness, do you remember what you promised me to do, remember, remember, me?"

After waking up, these memories were sealed by the system again. It was not until he entered the Origin World and died twice that he regained these memories.

However, he still couldn't recall what he was unwilling to do, and what he had promised to do for that beautiful shadow, as well as the true identity of that beautiful shadow and the relationship between her and him.

However, he understood some problems that he hadn't figured out, about why the system arranged for this survival mission.

The system wants him to think clearly about the meaning of life.

If he could figure this out, it's likely that all the problems he's facing now would be solved.

Such as the little girl transformed into a monster, such as the beautiful figure in the fuzzy memory, such as more...

Because he was too focused on thinking, Luke died again. This time, the cardboard boxes on the display cabinet on the third floor did not move. It was the mutated monsters around him who killed Luke.

Time, once again returned to the moment when Luke appeared in the original world.
