Rebel Demon King

Chapter 887 Seven Sins - Judgment Day (2)

Cheng Mo saw Ms. Delorme pushing the poor girl away from her arms in order not to drag her daughter Anna down.He clearly heard Ms. Delorme say loudly with tears in her eyes, "I don't know you, get out of here", and then rushed towards the cage that imprisoned her with countless punches, kicks and saliva flying across the body.

The unfortunate Ms. Delorme, for the sake of her daughter, couldn't wait to become a "heresy" in people's eyes.

However, the turbulent tide formed by the crowd was not calmed by this tender scene. Instead, the masses living in the fear of the plague and the oppression of the upper class turned their anger on the innocent Anna. They did not hesitate to tear the tearful Anna from the ground. , calling her a "bad bastard", a "bad star", a "slut", and a "cousin".
In the Middle Ages, witches were always associated with sex, so in people's eyes, causing the plague was not the biggest sin of witches, but seducing men and prostitution.The obscene language overwhelmed Anna. She was terrified and wanted to struggle and escape, but attracted even greater malice.

Some people were indifferent, some turned their faces away, and more people, especially women, continued to abuse Anna verbally, physically, and spiritually.

Even the dissuaded Crusader soldiers wanted to dissuade them, but they couldn't stop the crazy people from continuing their crazy actions. Ms. Delorme ran back again. Ms. Delorme, who hadn't cried all this time, shed tears and used her body to protect them. After killing her own daughter, she chanted while punching and kicking: "I shouldn't be a doctor, I shouldn't be a doctor's creator! Punish me is enough, save my daughter! My God, I My God! Why did you forsake me? Why did you stay away and did not save me, and did not hear my groaning words? O my God, I cried by day and you did not answer, and I cried by night and you were silent.”

This earnest pleading penetrated the clamor, but it couldn't stop the tyranny from continuing.Standing in the dark, Cheng Mo saw various expressions, indifferent indifference, pity indifference, numb indifference and irrational anger.He also saw a chosen person like him, standing on the ridge, watching this scene of human tragedy like watching a movie.

In order to prevent the mother and daughter from dying on the spot, the soldiers of the Crusaders could only stuff the poor mother and daughter into the prison car.

Cheng Mo watched off the cheering crowd with a blank expression as they followed the prison car away, as if the parade celebration had reached its climax.He thinks that sometimes the world is ironic. It used to be a cage of confinement, but now it has become a barrier of protection;
However, Cheng Mo, like those aloof and chosen ones, exists only as a god-like bystander.Just like playing a game, do you care about the life and death of an NPC?

will not.

All we care about are our tasks and the rewards we deserve.

Even if at this moment, being in it, everything in front of you is so real, so what?

This too is but a story about Madame Delorme and her daughter Anna.In the long history, how many similar tragedies are there?Human sorrow is far more than joy, and human sacrifice and deceit are far more than consummation and justice.

Cheng Mo always thought that he was a selfish person, but at this second, he had the idea that the mission doesn't matter and he should save the mother and daughter.This kind of thought is just about to move in Cheng Mo's heart, but it's just about to move, and the rock-like rationality presses on it, preventing him from overflowing with sympathy.Cheng Mo thought that he would never become a vicious person, but he could not become a good person either, or even any kind of template-like character.

In fact, he is just an ordinary person, who can neither be a bad person nor a good person, neither a villain nor a gentleman, nor a hero nor a trash.If there is any difference between him and ordinary people, then most of them always yearn to become a certain kind of person, such as becoming a powerful person or becoming a famous person or a person with high morals.

Cheng Mo is different, he does not aspire to be anyone, but he has the ability to be anyone, but he only wants to choose to be an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a long life.

Cheng Mo never wanted to be a hero. He knew that being a hero meant self-sacrifice. He thought about the "Lord of the Plague" he just got and the "Horn of the Singer" he hadn't got yet, and stood in the shadows and chose to return to the original .He looked at the prison van, surrounded by the tumbling crowd, moving forward along the narrow streets, like a flood rushing into the city.

Anna in the tide was shivering in her mother's embrace. The day before yesterday she was still living a carefree life, but today everything that is happy and happy has become out of reach.The life of a mortal is like a dandelion, so fragile that a gust of wind or a rainstorm can easily destroy it, perhaps blowing it into a cold and muddy wilderness, or burying it in an unknown cemetery.

-------------------------

Cheng Mo got up from the bed, and Xie Minyun, who was sitting in front of the desk when he got out of bed, asked, "Are you okay just now?"

"what happened?"

"I feel your heart beating faster, your blood flow accelerating, and your body temperature rising a lot"

"It's okay, I just saw some uncomfortable scenes." Cheng Mo put on his shoes and walked to the bathroom, he stood at the door of the bathroom and turned around and asked, "By the way, do you feel sympathy for NPCs? Or, do you think that these killing games are a manifestation of the cruel nature of human beings?"

"I don't play games very much. But the question you asked is very interesting. You go wash your face and brush your teeth first, let me think about it." Xie Minyun said with a half-turned body.

Cheng Mo let out a "hmm" and went into the bathroom. After washing up, Cheng Mo came out and saw Xie Minyun standing up. She opened the curtains to let the sunlight in, and suddenly the room was as dark as dusk. It becomes bright.

"Want a cup of coffee?" Xie Minyun asked, she walked to the cabinet at the entrance, looked at the electric kettle and said, "But there are only instant ones."

"Okay." Cheng Mo nodded.

Xie Minyun scalded the white porcelain cup with boiling water, picked up the Nestle coffee bag and started to make coffee. After a while, the aroma of coffee wafted in the room. She brought the two cups of coffee to the coffee table and put them down, then sat on the sofa , Stirring the coffee with a silver coffee spoon, he said: "The question you asked just now, I thought about it seriously. I didn't feel sympathy for those NPCs in the ruins, even if the opposite was the carrier, I I will not feel guilty when killing them. After all, I know in my heart that NPCs and carriers are just tools. In essence, the competition in the world is similar to sports competition. Although it is cruel, it is not cruel. The round table council formulates This is the embodiment of civilization. Of course, there are also many games that exist just to let us feel the thrill of killing, and some people enjoy killing. But I think, can put your heart It is a good thing that the evil is released in the game instead of in reality. This is the power of civilization and morality. The meaning of the game probably lies in this, giving us the space to relieve pressure and release our desires space."

Xie Minyun stopped, and Cheng Mo looked at some white foam swirling on the milk coffee, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of 'civilization', I think of a joke, Malinowski (the anthropologist of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) home), chatted with the local cannibals in Papua in the Pacific Ocean. He mentioned the First World War to the cannibal patriarch, and told the patriarch that "Europe is at war now, and tens of thousands of people die every day." The cannibal patriarch was puzzled Solution: "How can you eat so many people?" Malinowski explained, "Europeans don't eat human flesh." The patriarch was shocked: "Why do you kill people if you don't eat meat? You are too barbaric!" The survival of human beings forms a society, and the society develops civilization and morality, but with the development of society, it is inevitable that one society will start a war with another society because of resources or prejudice. It is more bloody when it exists. In order to let everyone live a better civilized society, it runs counter to the aspirations when it was formed.”

"But now human beings are progressing! It is undeniable that with the advancement of technology and the development of economy, human beings are becoming more and more civilized."

"Only superficial phenomena," Dostoevsky said in "Notes from Underground": What has civilization softened in us? Civilization has only cultivated the diversity of human feelings... Others. It is precisely because of the variety of feelings cultivated that people probably develop to find pleasure in bleeding. It is also because of this variety that human beings can get entertainment from a variety of entertainments today, such as Fantasy novels that kill Yingcheng at every turn; such as games that sell extreme crimes; such as some movies that deliberately sell bloody violence. In fact, the nature of human beings has not changed because of civilization. If it were not for the existence of nuclear weapons, perhaps the explosion of World War II is a bigger war." Cheng Mo said a little seriously.

Xie Minyun shook his head and said: "I think 'cruel' is the embodiment of human animality, and civilization can make intelligent human beings empathize, so they will sympathize with creatures weaker than themselves. In fact, the word 'cruel' is not The opposite of "kindness" is the mirror image of civilization. It is only with civilization that human beings can realize what is "cruelty". Animals will not know what cruelty is. Indeed, human animality exists deep in the genes, but education It can build a moral barrier and restrain the animal nature inside." Xie Minyun picked up the white porcelain cup, took a sip of coffee slowly, and then looked at Cheng Mo and said softly, "Of course, the current world is not perfect, and this is also true. It is the motivation and meaning of our efforts.”

Xie Minyun's answer can't relieve Cheng Mo's confusion. He knows that according to the agricultural production capacity of the United States, it can completely feed the remaining poor people in the world and completely eliminate hunger on the earth, but Americans do not do things that are not beneficial; I know, and many people also know that the world will move towards a better future when Huami cooperates, but for their own interests, the world can only fall apart.

Humans are so selfish.

Cheng Mo couldn't see the possibility that the world would be better.However, he did not speak again to continue the discussion with Xie Minyun, because he knew that Xie Minyun also knew this, but she believed that everything would become better through human efforts, while he maintained a pessimistic attitude towards everything.

Cheng Mo also picked up the warm white porcelain cup and took a sip of coffee. When the warmth reached his heart, he thought: "The world has nothing to do with me, as long as I can protect the people I care about."

----------------------

At 2020 pm on December 12, 20, Cheng Mo turned on his computer and checked his private mailbox. At this time, Xiyuanji Benimaru still did not send him any information to exchange information with him.Cheng Mo believed that Xiyuansi Hongwan already knew that the "Singer's Horn" was of great importance, and he probably didn't want him to confirm that Chen Fang and Chen Shaohua were his pawns if he didn't speak up.

Cheng Mo knew that the cunning Xiyuanji Hongwan was the one he could win over, and he was hesitating whether to take the initiative, when he received a huge amount of information from Nuwa.This included the progress of the Stargate and Sunflower Banner raids. Cheng Mo took a quick glance and saw that the Stargate had already captured 666 witches and was about to set off for Gisfield Monastery.He immediately put down what he was doing and activated the carrier to return to Asgard.

Back at Christian Field in the ruins, Cheng Mo went straight to the prison without hesitation. At this moment, his activation time was less than half an hour, and he had to find Ms. Delorme as soon as possible.

It took Cheng Mo more than ten minutes to sneak all the way from the square to the prison. At this time, the prison was queuing up to count the number of people. After observing, I found that there were star gate chosen ones around, but they didn't pay special attention to guarding work. Some people stood on the roof chatting, and some people were bored looking at something in the air. Cheng Mo guessed that they were looking at the sky. The interface of the elector system.

Cheng Mo did not hesitate much, and teleported into the dungeon, only to find that Ms. Delorme was no longer here, nor did she see Anna, only the water spider strolling leisurely on the dark water.He hurriedly left the dungeon filled with the smell of water, ran to the first floor of the prison, found a room facing the courtyard, hid in it and began to look for Ms. Delorme, but after searching carefully two or three times, Cheng Mo failed. Seeing Ms. Delorme, at this moment, Cheng Mo saw several priests enter the corridor from the arch of the main hall of the prison, including the cardinal.

It was obvious that something had happened, which made the bishop's face a little serious, and he walked very fast. Seeing that there was no star gate person in the yard, Cheng Mo walked out of the room and followed.

Soon a group of people walked to the end of the corridor on the first floor of the prison, and turned into a cell with two crusaders in the handle. Before Cheng Mo followed, he heard the bishop's angry voice coming from inside: "Tell What's wrong with me?"

"We just didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn in the morning, and she committed suicide after receiving such a small punishment." Someone defended in a low voice.

"You bastards, you can't even look down on anyone!" His Excellency Bishop reprimanded.

Shocked, Cheng Mo rushed into the cell, and immediately saw Ms. Delorme lying on the haystack in the cell, with a strange smile on her pale face and a deep red strangle mark on her neck. A gray cloth sash hung over the beams in the house, dangling in the airless room
