Great God collection system

The story of the middle-aged cowboy is very old-fashioned. The foreign trade war in the past few years led to poor income. After selling the farm, the originally agreed job lost its job. His wife got a chronic terminal illness and needed care. The grandson, the eldest son went bankrupt and divorced in a mess, and the youngest son still works three jobs a day in a big city trying to realize his dream of being an actor.

"Just like many Americans, the American Dream." The middle-aged cowboy said with a smile, "However, dreams are not something everyone can have. God probably doesn't like me very much."

"Fuck, this is too miserable!" The barrage expressed sympathy, "It's still laughable, uncle can."

"So what if you don't smile? Can reality be changed?"

"It's easy to say, you're the one who can't stand and talk. I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh when you are in trouble. You won't be able to cry."

"I've been through hardships, but I can still smile now"

"Of course, you can laugh without being heartless."

"Is it okay? I feel that there are more and more barrage quarrels now, and the atmosphere is getting worse and worse. In the past, everyone guessed the chief examiner's brain hole to see who was embarrassed and looked for a breakthrough. Now It’s really boring to fight each other.”

"I don't think the atmosphere has changed, it's the awakening ceremony that makes people feel bad."

"Indeed, I always feel that there is no good person, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that these people are very pitiful. There is no innocent person and no bad person. It's a contradiction."

"What's so contradictory, the chief examiner did it on purpose."

"Why on earth? Isn't it good for everyone to take the 'college entrance examination' together?"

No matter how the audience guessed, the seven participants facing Anubis couldn't hear it, and even if they had internet access, they didn't have time to watch it, and they all stared at the middle-aged cowboy.

"I want money, a lot of money." The middle-aged cowboy's first request was not unexpected. When he mentioned the situation at home, everyone had this awareness, "enough for my wife, The two sons don’t have to run around for money in their lives. I also want three places in the Whitsundays, one for each of them. On this basis, I hope that if some of you can become awakened and take care of my family, I don’t know How far your credit can go, but that's all there is to it."

The six participants remained silent, not because the demands were too high but too low.

"That's it?" Xiao Yang asked in an unbelievable tone.

"What else?" The middle-aged cowboy took a puff of his cigarette, threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground and stomped his feet, "As a human being, I can only do so far, what happens next depends on what God thinks .”

The six participants looked at each other, and Ma Wenda spoke first: "I want to promise you but I can't. I'm still poor and have no money."

"You can also sell your life for this price." Lu Tao was addicted, "Sell?"

Ma Wenda flinched, avoided Lu Tao's sharp eyes and stopped talking.

"Wait a minute, how do we know that your heart will definitely pass the test?" The black aunt asked suspiciously, "What if you are not an innocent person?"

"Then you can at least leave." The middle-aged cowboy said calmly, "Or if you are willing to sell a heart, I will be happy to ask the price."

Go around and around, and go back to the original point.

Among the people present, only Xiao Yang and Lu Tao were qualified to accept this "price". Everyone else looked at them, and Lu Tao looked at Xiao Yang again.

The quota of three Holy Spirit Islands is nothing, and it’s okay to take care of them after becoming an awakened person. If it fails, there is a high probability that they will die, so I don’t mention it. Only money, Xiao Yang doesn’t think he can afford three Americans have a worry-free economy for life.

Xiao Yang didn't want to find Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu's promise to get him out in danger was already "cheating", and he didn't want to go through more back doors.It's possible to ask Awakening to do it, but the middle-aged cowboy's words are too general. "Worry-free life" can be hundreds of thousands of dollars, or hundreds of millions of dollars, depending on how the other party spends money.

Xiao Yang carefully looked at the appearance of the middle-aged cowboy. Although he was not young, he looked more energetic than the young Ma Wenda. With a large body and a huge luggage, he easily portrayed the image of a man in his prime, but , he always felt that something was wrong, it seemed that there was something wrong...

The sun has changed, the shadows cast by the buildings have become longer, and everyone has a wider space to rest.

No one spoke, and the situation fell into a stalemate. People gradually dispersed and found places to sit down. This time, it was different from before. Everyone sat very close, talking one after another, and exchanging information with each other. A taste of precaution and caution.

Xiao Yang casually approached the middle-aged cowboy, and said softly: "There are traces of indwelling needles on your wrist."

The action of the middle-aged cowboy playing with the rope paused, and then he resumed his dexterous knot-tying action. He said casually, "When you get older, you will always feel sick sometimes."

"I heard that if it is not a serious illness, Americans generally do not go to the hospital to see a doctor, not to mention that the indwelling needle is for those patients who need repeated injections." Xiao Yang's voice was very soft, and at the same time, he was paying attention to whether anyone nearby could hear him. The conversation with the middle-aged cowboy, fortunately, other people seem to have been prepared, far away from them, "Your belt buttons are not on the usual ones, and your shirts are wider. You are fatter than ordinary people, but you Used to be fatter, all of you ate a lot when we came in, you only drank some water and ate very little. Thin, loss of appetite, indwelling needle just taken off your wrist, I'm not a doctor, but I know people with cancer."

The middle-aged cowboy finally rolled up the rope and put it in his backpack. His movements were solemn and slow, as if he was holding some kind of ceremony.

"Are you going to lower the price?" The middle-aged cowboy asked, looking directly into Xiao Yang's eyes.

"No." Xiao Yang said subconsciously, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Can your disease be cured?"

"Okay, but I don't have enough insurance. Insurance companies always have a thousand ways to avoid paying medical bills for both spouses at the same time, and American pharmaceutical companies are always good at developing new drugs. Hey, you know what? When it started to face the public, the votes of most pharmaceutical companies in the United States fell into the bottom of the pit!" The middle-aged cowboy laughed, as if something happy had happened, "However, people later found out that Whitsunday Island is just a lucky few. It’s just rewards, for us ordinary people it’s still bills, money, loans…that’s it.”

Xiao Yang was silent for a few seconds, and asked: "If you didn't get sick, would you still be willing to...'make an offer'?"

"Maybe, maybe not." The middle-aged cowboy gave a vague answer, "I think there must be someone who does the same thing as me, even if he doesn't get sick." He looked at Xiao Yang, "What about you? You are a Chinese soldier, right? I saw you on the live broadcast, you are already a successful person, why did you come to the awakening ceremony?"

"Because I'm a Chinese soldier." Xiao Yang almost blurted out. After he finished speaking, he hesitated and repeated in a low voice, "Because I'm the Chinese People's Liberation Army."

"Chinese soldiers, well, I know something about it." The middle-aged cowboy nodded, "Young man, let me tell you something, as ordinary people, we should be small and true..."

"Shen Wei, it's press-shen."

"Okay, be careful, Chinese characters are too similar and too troublesome." The middle-aged cowboy raised his eyebrows and scratched his hair under the hat helplessly, "From the day we survived, we have to bear a lot of things, so little happiness and so little desire. So many, people sell their souls for something insignificant, and also make sacrifices for 'nothing', just because someone has to do it." He paused, looking straight into Xiao Yang's eyes, "There is always something Something has to be done by someone, maybe this person happens to be me or you, don’t underestimate ordinary people too much. My end point is probably here, I made my choice, it’s not the best but it suits me, what about you?”

Xiao Yang didn't understand, or was too young to understand the state of mind of the middle-aged American cowboy. He has passed the age of black and white, but the position between him and the middle-aged cowboy is too far away to find out Cooperate, but he can feel the firmness.

The phone vibrated twice, Xiao Yang picked it up and glanced at it. The Awakening Office has agreed to give him a quota of 100 million US dollars. Regardless of whether he becomes an Awakened person or not, he needs to pay it back in installments. The only exception is that there is no need to worry about it .

This is an acceptable condition.

"I accept your terms." Xiao Yang turned to the middle-aged cowboy and said.

The middle-aged cowboy still nodded calmly: "Very good, I will tell you the account number."

Xiao Yang was taken aback: "Transfer the money on the spot?"

The middle-aged cowboy cast a strange look in the past: "Otherwise? Wait until I die to see if you have a conscience?"

Xiao Yang: "..."

It makes sense, and it's impossible to refute it.

The process of waiting for the transfer of money is very boring, but the quota of Holy Spirit Island is very convenient, and Xiao Yang already has it.Lin Qiu usually used the Holy Spirit Island quota as pocket money at every turn, and scattered a lot of it. Sandroya has not protested so far, which can be regarded as kind and tolerant.

Seeing his wife's reply with his own eyes, and knowing that the 100 million US dollars and the three quotas have all been obtained, the middle-aged cowboy sighed: "100 million is a bit small."

Xiao Yang looked around: "I don't think anyone here will bid higher than me."

"Not necessarily, that New Yorker." The middle-aged cowboy raised his chin at the handsome Bai Tian, ​​"he should be rich, his watch is not cheap."

Xiao Yang glanced at him: "How do you know he's from New York?"

"I don't know, we just call people in the city that." The middle-aged cowboy said nonchalantly, "And you are an honest person, so I trust you even more."

Even though he knew that this was due to the endorsement of the live broadcast and the status bonus of the chief examiner's bodyguard, Xiao Yang was still a little moved.

The middle-aged cowboy packed his luggage, placed it at Xiao Yang's feet, and said, "Bring it to my family for me." Then, he walked towards the ancient Egyptian god standing under the sun and said, "Hi."

Anubis lowered his head slightly, and the eyes on the jackal's head were as gentle as jade: "Mortal, are you willing to put your heart on a scale?"

"I want to ask, is it possible to let a few people out alone? You see, it is like this, someone offered a suitable price." The middle-aged cowboy explained, "So, can I be qualified in my heart? Finally, designate certain people to go out?"

"No." Anubis said succinctly and straightforwardly, "Mortal, who is willing to put their heart on my scales."

It's always easy to say something, but it's not so easy to get out when things come to an end.

The middle-aged cowboy inhaled and exhaled repeatedly, pretending to be calm for a long time before saying the crucial sentence: "I am willing."

Anubis replied calmly: "Very good, Lennon Coy, your life is over at this moment, and all sins and merits will be liquidated, as long as your conscience stands above the truth. He raised his hand, and an ordinary feather slowly condensed in the air, and slowly floated down to the tray on the side of the scale.

The strange thing is that the scales have not changed in any way and remain in balance.

"WTF..." the black aunt scolded, "is this feather weightless?"

"Normally speaking, it should be a little bit." Lu Tao clenched her fists anxiously, "This scale is not very sensitive anymore! Fake scale!"

"Liar!" the Japanese girl whispered with red eyes, "Anubis is a liar!"

"That's the feather of truth!" Ma Wenda said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

The three ladies in the line glared at Mavinda at the same time. He shrank his neck and moved aside wisely, avoiding the contempt from the opposite sex.

The middle-aged cowboy stood still, or could not move, his body seemed to be fixed, as stiff as wood.Anubis came over, squatted down and stretched out his fingers, his sharp nails scratched lightly, without touching the real body at all, a scratch deep enough to show bone was broken on his chest.

The human body is very wonderful. The heart is protected by the ribs. Sometimes, in order to save the dying human beings, the heart compression first aid will break the ribs. This is a necessary sacrifice.

After cutting off the ribs and pulling out the left lung, Anubis dug out the fresh, bloody heart amidst the screams of the middle-aged cowboy.

The rupture of the heart artery caused blood to spurt out. The blood seemed to be attracted by some force, chasing the heart that had been dug out, and built an "arch bridge" of blood in the air.

Anubis seemed to be accustomed to this vision, and walked back to the scale with ease, and put the still beating heart on the tray at the other end of the scale.

The participants stared wide-eyed, staring at the position of the scale tray, and the barrage was full of panic.

"I dare not look at it!"

"Fuck, don't sink! Don't sink! Don't sink!"

"Who can tell me who weighs the most?"

"I don't think the result is very good, the milk is over."

"Speaking of which, what's the ending? I didn't read it before..."

As soon as the heart was placed on it, the tray sank suddenly, and the blood from the middle-aged cowboy's chest chased here, surrounding the heart like a crown, forming a blooming blood flower.

"No—" the black aunt cried.

The Japanese girl covered her face with her hands and didn't dare to look at it.

Lu Tao's expression was distorted with anxiety, and he no longer cared about the effect of the live broadcast.

Of all the people, the handsome white man was the calmest, but he only tapped his right foot on the ground from time to time to reveal his inner anxiety.

The scale tray containing the heart is lifted up slowly, slowly, as if held by an invisible hand, gently but firmly exerting upward force.

Above the heart, a small phantom reveals a middle-aged cowboy and his wife, still young, dressed up at their prom, embracing and dancing, whispering and laughing.Soon, they are growing older in the vision, holding a newborn in their arms, kissing his wife on the cheek.During the festival, he drove the car and took his three children to Disneyland, making a fuss all the way and blowing his head.

Suddenly, the scales fell heavily, and the illusion changed.

He and his wife rushed to the morgue, uncovered the white cloth and claimed the body of their daughter and son-in-law. At the funeral, his seven-year-old grandson asked him, "When will Mom wake up?"The elder son sent a short message to tell him not to worry, but there was no news from him since then, and the younger son told him that everything was fine, but his face was exhausted.The doctor told him to be mentally prepared, and when he walked out of the consulting room, he saw his wife's forced smile and asked him, "How is it? Can we catch this cruise?"

He was home alone, kicking the trash can hard, throwing everything on the desk on the floor, cursing with his head in his arms.He sent off the people who had bought the farm, and then hurled insults at the stupid foreign buyers on the land that would soon change ownership.He threw his daughter's belongings into the cardboard box without even a trace of emotion, and left another empty box in which he threw his wife's old things in ahead of time.

Life is so hard, it always has been.

The camera in the live broadcast room turned to look at the face of the middle-aged cowboy, with tears running down his cheeks and his weathered skin, he murmured softly: "No, no, no...it's just...it's just life, I resent it But I won't give up, it's not fair." He squeezed out a painful cry from his broken chest, "I love my wife, we have supported each other all our lives and never turned our backs on each other, we are oppressed by life but we will never give up hope for you! You are not a mortal, how can you understand? You can’t use God’s standard to demand mortals!”

Anubis stared at the scales, and replied lukewarmly: "Don't get excited, mortals, gods are fair."

"No, you are not, neither are gods, nor are people, this world has never been fair!" The middle-aged cowboy staggered a step while clutching his chest, "We are still alive, I and many people in this world are still alive! You are not God, you are just an ordinary person who has gained a little ability. You use these tricks to test us, but you want to satisfy your twisted psychology! Look, look at us! I have never been ashamed of the emotions of mortals! Never! Look ah!"

In the vision, he is painstakingly painting the house, hoping that its new owners will treat it well.He arranged the large and small agricultural tools in different categories, and gave the dogs to kind neighbors. The seriously ill couple no longer had the spare time to take care of the pets.He explained the precautions to the new owner of the farm one by one, and was happy to hear that the new owner said that the layout of the house would not be changed.

"FUCKYOU——!" The middle-aged cowboy tremblingly raised his middle finger and shouted word by word, "Master-test-officer!"

The blood suspended around the heart suddenly exploded and splashed onto the dry ground like fireworks. The original heavy heart tray suddenly tilted upwards, and finally, it stopped at an ambiguous position, only bigger than the feathers. slightly higher.

Lu Tao stared at Anubis nervously, and finally couldn't help asking: "Have we passed the level?"

Anubis looked away, and said in the same tone as before: "Pass the test, mortals, accept the map, this will lead you to a peaceful future."

The cheers of the group of six almost overwhelmed the blazing sun, and there was a barrage of congratulations in the live broadcast room. People watching the live broadcast hugged on the street, and some parents lifted their children high, like a heart that was lighter than a feather.

Xiao Yang walked slowly in front of Lennon. He kept the posture of shouting, leaned forward with his upper body, opened his legs, stretched out one hand to Anubis, and covered his empty chest with the other hand.His eyes are wide open and his pupils have dilated, but his appearance has not changed a bit, like a frozen statue.

Lennon Coy was dead, and after careful consideration he thought it a good idea to sell here for a good price.He did it and successfully won the right to life for his wife and children.

As a human being, he worked hard to the last moment.

"You are crying." The voice of the system sounded in Lin Qiu's head.

"I don't." Lin Qiu knew very well that his dry eyes didn't have anything full of emotion like tears, "This is the inevitable end."

"You have never believed in fate."

"Sometimes, human beings always have to learn to bow their heads before starting."

This time, the system took a long time before saying in an extremely disgusted tone: "I really, really hate that you always say 'human', 'human', don't be too self-righteous, you are just a kind of Carbon-based life."

Lin Qiu felt that the sudden emotion of the system was a bit strange. It was different from the previous sense of contempt, with subtle hostility and hatred.

"I see, thank you for reminding me." Lin Qiu stared intently at the live screen and responded casually.

The system did not answer.

Anubis sent six maps, which were engraved on parchment, with a trace of black ink in the center of the map, and the words "Heart Weighing" placed in the middle of a square frame.

Obviously, this is where the player is currently.

The six-member team left at this point, but the Japanese girl repeatedly begged to go with Lu Tao and Xiao Yang, and even though she was rejected several times, she still followed behind tirelessly.It's just that there are many forks in the maze, and choices happen all the time. After a few turns and forks, there are no acquaintances in front of her eyes.

When Lin Qiu designed this awakening ceremony, he asked the participants to prepare for a long-term struggle, but for a single person, the fastest time to pass the level is actually 5 minutes. The longest is only about nine days.The reason why it was put on for such a long time is to ensure that anyone who wants to enter can enter, so as not to miss it because of the entrance time and so on.

Xiao Yang and Lu Tao, who got the map, escaped a lot of troubles smoothly. When Lin Qiu woke up after a nap, he found that the two had entered the last big checkpoint. The first batch of awakeners is about to be born!
