The boyfriends I picked up in the horror game looked weird

Bai Yao said in a panic: "This shouldn't be the case. He clearly knew that there was something wrong with that tower. He shouldn't have walked in!"

Anna: "He really shouldn't have walked in, but something happened."

In the Forest of Silence twenty years ago, gaps appeared on the ground and spread rapidly outwards. A large amount of dark energy surged out, and the towering white tower was about to collapse.

The magical power was unbalanced. The first person to feel the pain was Sophia. She lay on the ground, and the pain like tearing her body made her face distorted. "Gerald, you must walk into the tower with a heart to save the world! Only you are willing to become Only through sacrifice can the curse of the forest be stopped!"

Hejin lay weakly on the ground. He had many wounds on his body, which were injuries sustained while fighting Gerald. "Gerald, if you don't go in, everyone outside will die."

Gerald asked: "Why me?"

Anna stood in front of a crack and said with a sarcastic smile: "Gerald, don't you understand? People outside have spent twenty years building you from an ordinary person to a brave man who saves the world. , just so that you can walk into the tower today, complete the final sacrificial ceremony, and calm the anger of the forest."

The people of the empire saw the benefits brought by the magic stones, and these magic stones only existed deep underground in the forest. Human beings, who could never be satisfied with their greedy hearts, tried their best to mine the magic stones under the forest. One forest after another was transformed by machines. It collapsed with a roar.

The animals are displaced, and the air is filled with exhaust dust brought by magic machines. Under the bustling appearance, in hidden corners, more and more people and animals have been transformed into mutated monsters by irreversible industrial pollution.

In the end, only the Forest of Silence was left in the empire.

In a huge empire, only the Silent Forest was left, but this was not enough for them to reflect on their unsatisfied greed.

So "the world" cast a curse.

People in the empire will one day die. This is a punishment for their disrespect for life. The only way to resolve the curse is for the people in power in the empire, the royal family who allows all "massacre" actions, to have the blood to save the world. , are willing to sacrifice themselves and get the "world" to witness, and the curse can stop.

Gerald is not an orphan of the common people. He is the blood of the king, but he is also an unimportant blood.

In order to make him convinced that he is the savior and the belief in saving the world, he was raised in the small town of Orton, which is closest to the Forest of Tranquility, from birth. All the residents in the town are just pushers. He is just an actor who "became a brave man".

They weaved a golden dream about a brave man for Gerald for twenty years. His thinking, his personality, and his consciousness were all shaped into what others wanted, but these were all It has nothing to do with him personally.

For twenty years, Gerald lived a huge lie.

There are no dragons, no princesses, and no heroes.

Even the teammates he once thought he met by fate and should be cherished were just pawns sent by the royal family to push him towards the established path.

After being in a daze for a long time, Gerald surprisingly found that he didn't have much emotional fluctuations. Even the moment he learned the truth, he felt more relaxed than ever before.

He is not a brave man.

He is not the savior.

He can throw all those hopes and expectations behind him.

Sofia and Hejin kept praying for him to enter the tower and complete the sacrifice, otherwise everyone would die. But soon, the cracks in the ground expanded, and Sofia fell into the gap filled with magma, while Hejin fell. The trees were smashed to death and even the body was crushed.

The roar of collapse continued, but Gerald felt that the world was so quiet for the first time.

He walked out of the Silent Forest. He couldn't wait to find Miss Honey and share the good news with her that he was not a brave man. But when he entered the town of Orton, the scene in front of him stopped him in his tracks.

Houses in the town collapsed and the ground was turbulent. People who wanted to escape with the help of an airship also fell from a high altitude because the airship lost power.

All magic stones have lost their power. Without these magical tools that rely on convenience, human beings are as small as ants in the face of disaster.

The cries of pain were mixed with the sounds of fear, and the town had lost its apparent happiness and peace.

Not just the town of Orton, but the entire empire. Everything is collapsing with the cracks spreading on the ground. Those who fall into the cracks where the magma rolls are so weak that they are not even as strong as a reptile.

Gerald didn't care about the life or death of these people, and even when someone was kneeling on the ground holding his legs and asking for help, he could coldly kick them away.

It was at this time that he suddenly realized that he was indeed no different from those in the royal family. They were equally indifferent and did not care about the life or death of others.

Indeed, he has never been a child of light, nor a good person. It turns out that when he accepts his true self, those so-called moral senses are abandoned, and he feels that his steps are so relaxed.

The dark-haired couple hurriedly avoided the collapsed house with their child in their arms. The woman accidentally bumped into Gerald. The child in her arms was about to fall into the cracks when she let go. She shouted: "My child!"

A strong arm caught the swaddled baby.

The half-year-old baby girl opened her dark and moist eyes. She blinked gently, her long eyelashes moved slightly, as if a butterfly was flapping its wings. She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the bright young man. Her golden eyes were like sunshine, and then she showed a big smile, as if she was unaware of the danger.

The child was quickly taken back by his parents. The father quickly said thank you and grabbed his wife's hand to continue running for his life.

Gerald suddenly asked: "What is your child's name?"

The young parents paused slightly, and the mother replied: "Bai Yao."

They ran away, but the town of Alton was surrounded by mysterious forces. They seemed to have hit a wall of air, holding their children in despair and crying.

Not only the town of Orton, but also other cities are in the same situation. It seems that everyone is trapped, and they will eventually die in the angry magma.

The mayor was a middle-aged man. He dragged his injured body to Gerald, fell to the ground, and said with difficulty: "Gerald, the curse, the curse will take away the lives of everyone in the empire... You must, must return to the tower..."

Gerald didn't pay attention to the people on the ground. He just stared at the family of three over there almost obsessively. To be more precise, the infant girl. He suddenly figured out a lot of things.

He suddenly laughed.

Her golden hair is more beautiful than the color of the sun, the smile on her face is warmer than the sun, the waves rippling in her green eyes, and the light shining in them is brighter than the spring in April. .

So, he turned around and faced the opposite direction of where the others were fleeing. Alone, with his broken body, he resolutely walked into the forest riddled with holes.

He chose to rush to the tower not to save the world like a brave man.

He chose the established path of death in exchange for a world that allowed her to live.

When the definition of "sacrifice" truly emerged in his soul, the tower accepted him, the curse stopped, the cracks in the ground closed, and the world returned to peace.

In order to cover up the scandal, the royal family continued to portray him as a brave man who died heroically to save the world after his death.

No one knows that the reason that finally made him willing to accept the fate of a victim and die was that a girl needed a stable world to grow up.

This world should have blue skies, warm sunshine, and -

One day, by that stream, she would fill her basket with purple flowers.
