infinite blood core

Chapter 76 Life must go on

"what--!"

"Don't come, don't come!"

Zi Di ran away in embarrassment.

And the needle gold is chasing after the girl tightly.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry!" Zhen Jin has completely transformed into a silver spear scorpion, which has been defeated by hunger, and his mind is full of thoughts of eating.

Zidi was finally forced to the bottom of the cave and tripped over a stone to the ground.

Needle Jin threw a fierce pounce on her body, and the huge cheliped and sharp scorpion tail launched fiercely.

puff.

Zidi was dismembered in an instant, blood splashed, dyed the bottom of the cave red, and also dyed the entire field of vision of needle gold.

The next moment, Zhen Jin suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw the dark night sky.

He gasped for breath, the cold air instilled in his chest and lungs, his pupils gradually dilated to normal size, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Nightmare.

He had a nightmare.

In this nightmare, he turned into a spear scorpion, attacked Zidi, and regarded the girl as food to satisfy his hunger.

Pin Jin quietly sat up.

He broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking around, Zi Di was sleeping peacefully beside him, Bai Ya and Spirulina were lying not far away.

After hearing Cangxu's words, Zhenjin knocked out the blue-green algae and set it up.

As for Cangsu, he was responsible for guarding the middle of the night.

The bonfire is still burning quietly, the flame is half smaller than before, but it still provides a steady stream of warmth.

The firelight reflected on Zhijin's face, and the young knight's expression was uncertain.

"Why do I have such nightmares?"

"Is it because I have been worried and afraid of this magic crystal in my heart?"

This is a normal psychological reaction.

Imagine that a normal person suddenly grows horns, or gives birth to a tail, or has tumors all over his body, can he not worry and be afraid?

No one has a magic nucleus, but needle gold has grown out of one.

And this magic core is very mysterious, weird and powerful, it can turn needle gold into a monster, and can absorb the blood of living beings.

"There is no way to use vindictiveness, I can only use it when in danger."

"Hey... If you can't use it in the future, try not to use it."

"Who knows what the ramifications will be?"

Zhen Jin subconsciously stroked his heart.

He was afraid that if he abused the magic core, he would one day turn into a beast monster and never return to human form.

Needle Jin felt: This magic crystal has begun to tempt him, tempt him to slaughter the common people, sacrifice innocent people, to gain more powerful power and power.

"On the other hand, I'm also afraid of becoming a blue-green algae." Zhen Jin glanced at the blue-green algae in the distance.

To tell the truth, he can understand cyanobacteria.

And this understanding is very profound.

Because needle gold once faced the same choice as cyanobacteria.

Hunger can drive people crazy. Hunger can turn Jinjin into a gun scorpion to steal jinma stone. It can make Zidi feel that the cooled lava is like baked chocolate bread, and it can make Cangsu want to eat a handful of sand.It can make them not let go of anything they can eat, and they can feel that jerboa and lizard meat are supremely delicious.

In addition to understanding, Zhenjin still has fear and fear in his heart.

"If I chose to use white buds as food at the time, would the current state of cyanobacteria be my fate?"

"Although Bai Ya is not my brother, I will always be tortured and tortured by my kindness, morality, and knighthood."

"I will be like a blue-green algae rather than dead!"

Jin Jin's mood is very heavy.

Because he naturally thought: "In the future, will I become such a person?"

When returning to the volcano cave and carrying the white bud on his back, the young knight told himself - I have not fallen.

However, he is very clear: he has many ideas.The selfishness, evil, shamelessness and despicableness in those thoughts made Zhen Jin almost unable to face himself afterwards.

In addition to understanding, fear, and heaviness, needle gold has a spontaneous pity for cyanobacteria.

"He became a beast in order to survive."

"He killed his own brother."

"Afterwards, he came to this oasis again. Such an arrangement is simply a play and mockery of fate."

"The cyanobacteria regretted it. Maybe they found the oasis earlier, maybe if they persisted, the yellow algae would not die."

"Extreme remorse made him unable to believe the death of Huang Zao, and desperately vetoed the fact that he killed his younger brother."

"Even if his vision is normal, he firmly believes that the yellow algae is still alive and there is hope of being rescued."

"He lied to himself, tried his best to lie to himself. He was caught in his own fantasy, and only in this way could he escape the condemnation of his conscience and the torture of his morals."

"This oasis is real, but he's caught in his own mirage."

"But it's all just fantasy after all."

"Our appearance and attitude have burst the bubble of fantasy, and the ruthless reality and truth are once again in front of Spirulina's eyes."

"And this time, he has no way to avoid it, no way to lie to himself."

"As Cang Xu said before, people who survive in the desert will collapse because of the mirage. Spirulina is exactly like that, and the situation is even worse."

Frankly speaking, if Zhen Jin hadn't experienced life and death, he would have despised, disgusted, and hated the current blue algae, and he would probably have taken Zidi's advice.

However, after experiencing so much, the young knight's body and mind have undergone tremendous changes.

"He is our companion. I once said that I will do my best to save everyone, so I will help him." decision made.

Then, he got up and brought half a bowl of coconut water and jerky to Spirulina.

The blue-green algae did not respond at all, and still stared at the corpse of the yellow algae.

In the end, the needle gold can only knock out the blue-green algae.

Why did you make such a decision to help cyanobacteria?
Needle Jin also felt strange at the time.

But now, he understands a little: "Maybe it's because of a desire in my heart. I hope that if one day, I fall into the situation of cyanobacteria, and I hope that outsiders can help me."

But Zhenjin knew very well that he couldn't really help the blue-green algae.

Spirulina's problem is not outside, but inside.

Zhen Jin is even doubting and asking himself whether people like Spirulina should help.

Human society has ethics and morals, so the ethics and morals of the Templars must be higher than the standards of the public.Such behavior by cyanobacteria is undoubtedly anti-moral and anti-ethical.

"Is it right for me to help people like Spirulina?"

"I rescued him because I saw myself in him?"

"Am I making excuses for my possible depravity?"

At this moment, looking at the swaying flames, Zhen Jin felt that he was hesitating and shaking.

He initially controlled the magic crystal in his heart and became very powerful.He got out of this crisis with plenty of food and water.

But the young knight felt weak.

He asked himself inwardly.

"What kind of person am I?"

"I'm afraid of death, can I continue to uphold the spirit of a knight, can I take on the responsibility of the family?"

"Am I a selfish person?"

"If I'm in the pre-cyanobacteria situation, how do I choose?"

"If I choose not to eat, then I will lose my life and I will not be able to walk to the oasis. If I choose to eat, then I will be better off dead than alive."

"Which option is the right one?"

Zhen Jin faced himself bravely, and he did not use the core as an excuse to escape from his true self.

Pin Jin couldn't answer his own question.

Every time he thinks, every time he faces these questions, every time he is tortured, he loses part of the strong self-confidence he used to have, and then loses another part.

Zhen Jin was very clear in his heart: when he rescued Bai Ya, he said to himself that he had not fallen.This is actually just a subconscious denial.Who doesn't want to be brave?Who doesn't want light?Who doesn't want to be upright and have no moral indebtedness?
"However, Cang Xu's words... are indeed not unreasonable."

Needle gold in real thinking.

This kind of thinking forces oneself to face the ugliness and darkness in the deepest part of human nature, which is undoubtedly very painful.

Confidence in himself was lost, and Zhen Jin also fell into deep self-doubt.

Beside the bonfire late at night, the young knight quietly got up and half-knelt on the ground.

He lowered his head, covered his heart with his hands, faced the direction of Shengming Continent, and began to repent.

"God, Emperor Shengming, my great Lord. Under Your eyes, the world is bright and the shadows are fleeing. Now, Your believers, Your knights repent to You, only because I have fallen into the quagmire of my heart. Please The Spirit of God has enlightened me, and the shadows of my corruption, my ugliness, my filth and filth have faded away. I beg you to forgive me for the sins of my mind..."

The long confession is over.

The soft night wind blew in the ears of the young knight.

Everything was as expected by the needle gold - the gods did not respond.

The young man sighed in dismay.

Zi Di slept soundly.

The white buds lay flat in the grass, while the blue-green algae curled up and lay sideways on the ground, like a shrimp.

Both were frowning and looking miserable - they were both struggling.

Time passed, the night faded, and the sun rose, casting a scorching light.

Like countless days and nights before, nature still operates with the same laws.

Any feeling of distress, sadness, pain, confusion, etc., seems to be hypocritical in this vast nature.

Heaven and earth are big, life is the biggest.

Food and water must precede wealth, power, beauty, and honor.

No matter how painful, how confused, how sad, life still has to go on.
