I bent the devil

It turned out that I was so afraid of death.

Gu Jiu fell on his back to the ground and moved backwards. Although such a movement would put the broken ribs at risk of dislocation again, he would rather risk the possibility of stabbing his internal organs than the torment he was about to suffer.

He was on the platform now, except for the three people who were already lying on the ground and couldn't even notice the ups and downs of their breathing, the only ones who could move were him and the woman in red who was slowly walking in in a way of teasing mice.

Gu Jiu was pushed out by others.Just a few minutes ago, the thread that originally connected the three of them broke, and the three of them fell on their backs like broken marionettes.Qianqian's jade fingers were still hanging in the air, as if she was puzzled by the sudden breaking of the strings, but the pause was only for a moment, she turned her head gracefully and skillfully, and looked in the direction where Gu Jiu and the others were standing.

"...Is it for me to choose, or for you to choose?" The soft voice, without any trace of blood, seemed to be asking everyone to cut the bouquet of flowers.

That's how Gu Jiu was pushed out by other prisoners who were also prisoners.

Those people were the same as him, their original white clothes were already full of filth and blood stains that had dried up and turned into dark brown. The tattered places were torn by whips, and there were even footprints on them.

But some of these people pushed him out with guilt or insensitivity, their eyes hidden in the condensed hair, like a beast who can do anything to keep himself alive, a beast without a conscience!

Gu Jiu trembled all over, it was a physical reaction to the anger and disappointment of these people.He gritted his teeth, his eyes hidden in the same congealed hair, to keep the tears from falling.

Soon he found that there was no way behind him.With his elbows propped behind him, Gu Jiu could feel that he had reached the edge of the platform, and if he stepped back, he would fall into the water.And the most important thing is that around the platform, there are prisoners lying on the edge and not letting themselves go down.

Even now, there are people firmly resisting his back, preventing him from escaping from the platform.

human nature.human nature!

Only by clenching his teeth tightly, Gu Jiu didn't let the teeth make the sound of bumping up and down when they were shaking.The place where the rib was broken was still painful, but the pain in the chest was more oppressive than this pain.

The woman in red stopped at his feet, clasping her hands together.She looked down at him quietly, with a little pity and sympathy, but her eyes were terribly calm. She has a soft and charming appearance, which is actually more suitable for a quiet and elegant color than a red dress.In the red dress, she was like a ghost who was looking for her life.

"Look." She opened her mouth slowly, looking down at Gu Jiu, "These people are not grateful or moved by your sacrifice at all, they will push you out this time, and they will push out other people next time .In the end, including my own parents, wife and children.”

She paused for a few breaths, as if waiting for Gu Jiu's reaction, and then said, "As long as you turn around now and point at any one, he will take your place."

Take my place... in my current position?Gu Jiu's mind went blank for a moment.He looked at the woman in front of him, and behind him was the person who was still holding onto his back to prevent him from running away.

Excited?heartbeat.

As long as I point casually... Gu Jiu can't see his back, but his eyes can't help but scan the other people who are on the edge of the platform in the periphery of his sight.

When those people met their eyes, they all avoided without exception, flustered, and even some older and stronger people grabbed the little people around them to block them, as if saying: Look, choose him.

"Young...young master, please...we have no other choice." The voice behind trembled and begged in a low voice.Gu Jiu could feel that the man was still grabbing his shoulder blades forcefully while he was talking.Grab it tightly, not letting yourself have a chance to move backwards.

As soon as his voice came out, the others also begged.

"Little Lord……"

"...Lin'er..."

"Yes, brother Lin, your niece is only three years old! Three years old!"

"Cousin! Cousin! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Brother!"

"……elder brother!"

"Young Master!"

It turned out that these people... As these voices continued to sound, their bodies trembled more and more, and in the end they reached the point where they could no longer support themselves.

Actually, is this person's relative?

Tears finally fell from the corners of his eyes. Fortunately, his body was half wet by the lake water, so no one noticed the appearance and disappearance of this tear.

A slight sigh came from the top of the head, followed by the pain of the living creature burrowing into the body.Gu Jiu watched helplessly as the strings entered his body, wrapping around his ribs like a living thing.

So, is this the reason for the broken rib?

Before Gu Jiu's last consciousness disappeared, he seemed to hear a small, barely audible sound of relief around him.

It was another escaped sound from his loved ones and best friends.
