The Trial Game of Life

When the last rays of the setting sun drowned from the horizon, the windmill finally took shape.The signal transmission tower in the small town of Derry is used as the pole of the windmill, and the veins and shapes of the four huge blades are welded out of steel pipes, and then the cloth that can be used in the whole town is collected and sewn on.Black, white, colorful, nylon, cotton, and tarpaulin, a windmill in Baijiayi was built just like that.

From a distance, the windmill looks like a thin butterfly wing, because it can transmit light.When you look closely, it looks like a sail full of patches, which makes people worry about whether it will be destroyed by the next storm.

Even so, some crew members are still full of romantic feelings.

"Zack, don't paint it, come down quickly, we should cook! Lilith will come later, and she will scold you for not doing your job properly!" The yellow-haired boy shouted from the signal tower with his hands in the shape of a trumpet. He raised his head Looking at the people climbing on the heights, they shouted in full spirit.

"I'll be fine soon!" The young man named Zac was graffiti on the blade. He carried a sack of spray paint on his back to compete with the sunset.

In the evening, the wind had picked up, and the poisonous smoke began to spread towards the town.Although the speed is not fast, the panic it brings is unstoppable. Only a romantic young man like Zach would still think about graffiti on ugly leaves at this time.

Many people don't have hope for this inexplicable windmill, they just have to grab the last straw, but Zach doesn't think so.

Under the urging of his companions, he speeded up and used up the last can of spray paint, drawing the last red wave.It's the color of a sunset.

"What did you draw?" asked his companion.

"It's hope." Zach landed, looked up at the windmill again, and said, "I have a hunch that this will become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation."

"Aren't you? Just your painting?"

"No, I mean this windmill."

After finishing speaking, Zach turned around and ran away again.The companion quickly chased after him, yelling behind him to tell him to cook quickly, this is the task they assigned, if he can't finish it, he will be kicked on the ass by Lady Lilith.

Zach didn't care, he ran fast, brushing past the wind of the setting sun.He ran to the switch, and pulled down the switches of the surrounding lights——

light is on.

It was a large searchlight of several kilowatts, located around the square of the signal tower.It turned out to be a very inconspicuous small park in the town, with a wisteria flower corridor and the most common fitness equipment. Aunts who have nothing to do after dinner often come here to dance square dances, so the people in the street Here are some lights.

When the lights are on, you can also sit here, play chess and chat.This small square is the best testimony of countless ordinary lives in the past.

Suddenly one day, zombies came, the end came, life was destroyed, human nature began to be deconstructed and gradually fell apart.Is there any hope?Zach believes there will be.

He looked up at the windmill illuminated by light, and although it looked a little comical, it was always a hope.

The craftsmen began to do the final reinforcement work, and Zach and his companions finally returned to the temporary collective cafeteria and devoted themselves to the preparation of dinner.

But the tent area was noisy, a group of people were fighting for a pig.The only black pig left in Derry Town, even in the apocalyptic era when supplies were scarce, was still raised to be fat and strong.

Everyone is debating whether to kill pigs or not.

Some people think that they will be poisoned to death by poisonous smoke anyway, and they should eat something good for the last meal.Some people think that if they don’t die, it’s a pity to eat them, and maybe they can find a second pig to breed in the future.

"I just said don't kill! Don't kill! Whoever wants to kill Page, kill me first!"

"Yesterday you trampled onions I planted in pots!"

"No one can stop me from eating pork! Damn it!"

"Go away!!!"

"..."

Lilith and Yu Yiyi watched from the three-story building not far away, and Yu Yiyi lifted the curtains and said, "Look, it's better to broadcast "Guide to Raising Pigs" to them than shouting slogans. Cuisine is an eternal subject.”

"Instead of talking about raising pigs here, you should think about how your spells will change. The poisonous smoke has spread in and the windmill has been set up. If you stay here again, they will not only kill pigs, but also kill you." Throw them into the pot and cook together." Lilith sat on the sofa and painted her nails.After so many days in the dungeon, her nail polish almost fell off.

Yu Yiyi shrugged, and went back to the table to continue drawing talismans.The ground, chairs, and sofas were already filled with Yu Yiyi's yellow runes, on which were painted red runes that Lilith couldn't understand with cinnabar.

While waiting for the nail polish to dry, Lilith leaned on the arm of the sofa and watched Yu Yiyi quietly for a while.When drawing symbols, Yu Yiyi was like an inscrutable magic stick, with one hand behind his back, and the other hand holding the pen, writing like the wind.

"You said you used to be a Taoist priest?" Lilith asked suddenly.

"Yeah, I don't look like it?" Yu Yi replied with a smile.

"Have you ever caught ghosts in the world?"

"It's true that I haven't caught a ghost. It's because everyone has a ghost in their hearts. Besides, a little Taoist priest like me who lives in the countryside, I write to the villagers when they want to build a Dabie wilderness. I stick my talisman on the wall, occasionally go to see Feng Shui, and then compete with monks for jobs, and my best job is to count auspicious days for people, and the old ladies from all over the world like me very much."

Lilith always felt that his words were half true and half false, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "Then what is your Taoist name?"

Yu Yiyi was about to say, but thought about it, but swallowed it back.It's not that there's nothing he can't say about his Taoist name, it's just that he remembered that he used to have long hair and braids.

If Lilith found out about this kind of thing, it would always feel bad.

Yu Yiyi, Taoist name Yuquan.Grandpa is a Taoist priest, and father is a Taoist priest, so he, a serious 985 graduate, is also a Taoist priest, wandering around the countryside at the age of 28.

He felt that the most embarrassing thing in his life was not being called back to become a Taoist priest after graduating from university, but that he died in a bloody family dispute.He just went to show people Feng Shui, Feng Shui didn't see anything bad, but he saw a bunch of pickled fish, and finally they fought, and the city gate caught fire and the fish in the pond were caught.

Why is it so miserable?

Dreaming back at midnight, Yu Yiyi often asked himself this question.

Lilith must not let Lilith know about this matter, so Yu thought about it one by one, and while drawing amulets, he told her about other things, "I have never caught ghosts, but the notes left by my grandfather said that when he was a child I seem to have seen it. I didn’t believe it when I was in school, and I didn’t believe it when my grandfather insisted that I go back to inherit the mantle before his death. Later, when I came to Eternal Night City, I began to believe that it was true.”

Lilith raised her eyebrows, "Do you think that ghost might be related to Evernight City?"

"Isn't it?"

"What did you find out?"

Yu Yi looked at the time, "It's getting late, aren't you urging me to conjure spells for you? If you want to know, I'll tell you after I go out."

Lilith was a little disappointed, but it was indeed getting late.She walked to the window and took a look out. The black pig named "Peppa" was still staying in the pigsty, which showed that it had survived successfully.

In the distance, large searchlights illuminate the windmill, and the reinforcement work of the craftsmen is coming to an end.Lilith didn't hesitate anymore, turned her head and said "as soon as possible", and hurried downstairs.

Yu Yiyi looked at her back and touched her nose.There was another reason for him to urge Lilith to leave. When Lilith listened carefully to someone's speech, her eyes were big and cute.

A generation of irascible female devil, who became the leader in the dungeon, would allow some insignificant little NPCs to call her by her name directly, which is also a bit cute.

Love is not necessary.

intolerable.

Yu Yiyi shook his head and continued to draw symbols.

On the other side, Lilith has already walked quickly to a location close to the outside of the town.She climbed up to the roof, looking at the poisonous smoke gradually invading not far away, her eyes were condensed.

"Sound the alarm, everyone will gather at the windmill in half an hour!"

Not long after the words fell, harsh sirens rang throughout the town of Derry.People who were eating dinner couldn't help but speed up their chewing movements, and some people rushed to the cauldron of vegetables like starving ghosts, scrambling for another bowl.

"Don't squeeze! And, and there!" Zac brandished a spatula to maintain order, but the scene got out of control for a while, and the guard in charge of guarding directly drew his gun to warn.

"Bang!" The gunshot frightened the children into tears, and the black pig began to move restlessly.

The sound of sirens, riots and gunshots sounded from everywhere also reached the ears of Ji Ning who was outside the drug circle.Standing on the roof of the car, he saw the nondescript windmill with a binoculars, and frowned slightly.

"Boss, you've been staring at that windmill for almost half an hour. If you're really worried, why don't you just shoot it?" the former partner of the Vaccine Research Institute suggested.

Ji Ning watched the windmill go from existence to nothing, and probably guessed Lilith and Yu Yiyi's intentions.Windmill, isn't it just for blowing wind?But how does the wind blow?

"You let them prepare the shells, but don't rush to fire." Only after the opponent has established hope and then destroys it at the last moment can a fatal blow be given. Ji Ning knows this well.

Only in this way, the people in the town will backlash against Lilith even more.It didn't even take Ji Ning to make another move to force Lilith to bow her head.

That's right, Ji Ning didn't want to kill Lilith directly.He also needs Lilith's blood to make "Angel One" and help him continue to consolidate his rule in this world.

No matter how long the alarm sounded, Ji Ning watched it for as long as possible.About 10 minutes later, Ji Ning waved, "Ready to launch."

At this time, the spreading poisonous smoke has turned into a dense fog and enveloped the entire periphery of Derry Town. With the naked eye, people in the town can't see the outside of the town, and the outside of the town can't see the real situation in the town. They can only vaguely see the bright lights. .

The windmill is very high, it sticks out a head in the thick fog, and the moon is right in front of it.

According to the time in the dungeon, tonight is August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

"call out!"

"Huh! Huh!"

The sudden sound of breaking wind made the nerves of the people in the town tense, the bullets were loaded immediately, and all weapons were ready to go.They thought it was an attack, but when they got closer and took a closer look, they realized that the projected objects were pieces of paper wrapped with stones.

This is a letter of persuasion.

It was also Lilith's crime.

The paper is extremely provocative, depicting Lilith as a traitor who escaped with the hope of all mankind, "Angel One", even if it cannot be immediately believed, it can at least plant the seeds of doubt.

And in this moment of life and death, any trace of doubt is fatal.

As long as someone is shaken.

The embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in the ant nest.

"Surrender, let's surrender!"

This kind of sound spreads from point to surface, like a wave, and it seems to be able to surround people in an instant, as if besieged on all sides.More and more people gathered under the big windmill, and there were more and more voices like this. People panicked, struggled, and restless, seeing the poisonous smoke getting closer and closer, and death had strangled their throats.

Lilith stood on the top of the windmill, cursing inwardly, "Yu Yiyi is dying slowly", and drew out her knife.Everyone knew the leader's violent temper, so their scalps were tense, and they were silent for a moment, but they heard her speak loudly:

"It's me that Ji Ning wants. It's useless if you surrender. If I don't want to surrender, then no one can force me to surrender."

She looked proud, but not arrogant, with a long knife pointing straight at her, and sharp eyes, "If Angel One is the last hope of mankind, then this hope is me. 'Hope' will not be someone's puppet, it is freedom, anyone Anyone who persecutes the same kind of people in the name of it will all, deserve to die."

In the last sentence, Lilith said every word, firmly.It is true that she has a bad temper, but it is also true that she has learned from Jin Cheng for so long, and she doesn't pay attention to Ji Ning's little tricks.

Looking across the audience, Lilith asked loudly again: "Let me ask you last, who of you wants to join forces with people outside? I can't promise to kill you all, but I can promise that I hope I will never favor you."

The audience was silent.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Some people had tears in their eyes, some people gritted their teeth and struggled, but no one dared to speak first.In this apocalypse, if hope is lost, then there is really nothing, but can they just wait here with Lilith to die?

A low air pressure began to spread, and people outside the town had already started shouting from the air, and the gray mist seemed to have gained weight, being weighed down by those words, making people's hearts feel heavier and heavier.

Many people are in a hurry, if they are not allowed to surrender, they must come up with a way, right?Is it just relying on this broken and funny windmill?So after the crowd fell silent, it broke out into a commotion without accident.

Under such circumstances, Yu Yiyi came late, like the protagonist who always appears at the end in movies.

Lilith really wanted to stab him and held back, but Yu Yiyi immediately asked her to make room for him.Lilith glared at him, "If you can't conjure spells, I'll stew you and that pig named 'Peppa' together."

Yu Yiyi rubbed his nose, "Isn't it?"

"Humph."

Lilith jumped off the windmill neatly and gave Yu Yiyi the position at the top of the windmill.The crowd below automatically made way for her, and then all stared at Yu Yiyi, with indelible worry and curiosity in their eyes.

What is he doing?

Lilith also looked up at Yu Yiyi, only to see that Yu Yiyi suppressed the joking expression on his face, closed his eyes, raised his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, countless bright yellow talisman papers flew out of his sleeve one after another.

Countless talisman papers were arranged and combined in the air, gradually transforming into concentric circles of different sizes one after another, rotating, enclosing the windmill.

There are more and more talisman papers, and these concentric circles are getting bigger and bigger, until they expand to the square.

Everyone was amazed, their eyes widened in disbelief.But Yu Yiyi looked solemn, and when he opened his eyes, the last talisman paper flew out of his cuff, and his hands quickly formed a seal on his chest.

"Array!" With a shout, the talisman papers stood upright, and before everyone could react, they turned into lightning and stuck to their backs.

Everyone was shocked, and their expressions froze for an instant.

Lilith, the only one who was not taken care of by the talisman paper, was also feeling overwhelmed. She looked around and found that everyone had the same expression, which was called—empty.

Nothing is called emptiness.

She looked up at Yu Yiyi again, Yu Yiyi's face had turned a little pale, it could be seen that this hand wasted a lot.But his expression was resolute, with a sense of resignation, Jieyin's hands slowly opened to the sides, and then lifted upwards.

The moment they parted, the runes on the talisman paper began to emit golden light, and the people stuck by the talisman paper also raised their hands high following Yu Yiyi.Their expressions are empty but pious, as if they are willing to give something.

At this moment, Lilith finally remembered what she had heard Xiaoming said, the secret method of a talisman master - the talisman control technique.

Beads of sweat began to drip from Yu Yiyi's forehead and temples. He looked up at the sky, as if he was looking for the moon covered by the haze.Raise your hands high and piously call:

"The wind is coming."

At first it was only his voice, but gradually, one voice joined in, two voices joined in, and one voice after another merged into an ocean, constantly circling around, reaching heaven.

"The wind is coming."

"The wind is coming."

"The wind is coming."

Such a grand and shocking scene, Lilith looked at the man standing on top of the windmill, her eyes sparkled.The next second, the sound of "squeak" came, and Lilith showed joy——

The windmill is turning!

Yu Yiyi: Ben Ouhuang relies on his strength to make a living.
