Mage Adam Chapter 59: Despair (2)
Adam walked on the street again, and there were fewer people in the city, and it was even rarer to have a body like Adam. For the whole morning, there was no one walking on the street except Adam. They Lying numbly in any place where you can rest quietly waiting for death, and then become someone else's ration.
The strong men who recovered a little in the afternoon began to forage again. This time, many people put their minds on Adam. After Adam pushed them back, he still did not choose to kill, but looked at them with cold eyes. Cannibalism.
At night, the exact same scene reappears, siege, mage, evil magic, and then dawn.
This cycle lasted six times. Adam's hunger became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult to avoid the soldiers' capture.
Adam had an illusion in his heart. If he was still not selected and died next time, he would be able to escape from this illusion. As soon as this feeling appeared, it became stronger and stronger, so strong that he couldn't help but believe it. up.
On the seventh day, the soldiers came to Adam, roughly tied his hands with ropes, and drove him out of the city with knives and guns.
Adam is too weak, this weakness has made him unable to resist, and can only let the soldiers capture him.
Adam and the rest of the civilians formed a human wall outside the city. They suffered heavy casualties under the fangs, claws and magic of the beasts. Then the magician appeared for the seventh time. This time, ancient magic brought the civilians together with Adam. exploded to pieces.
"Did you just die like this?" Adam sighed.
But in a blink of an eye, he realized that something was wrong. If he was already dead, how could he still have ideas?
Sure enough, in the next second, the illusion shattered into pieces, and every scene in the seven days quickly reappeared in Adam's consciousness, and then reassembled again.
Adam has returned to the beginning, still the ruined city, still the clothes that can't cover his body, and still the people who are full of numbness.
The active lack of reason is getting more and more serious. This lack makes Adam's consciousness blank. He has no concept of instinct. If one must find one, then Adam's instinct is to survive, but survival is in this There is no use in the illusion, because Adam has no ability to dominate his own life.
So another cycle begins, nothing has changed, people like beasts, soldiers like beasts, wizards who are indifferent to humans, and another death on the seventh day.
After I don't know how many times of reincarnation, Adam only has the last rationality maintained by his psychic power. This rationality controls him not to kill, not to eat people, and not to resist.
It's not that there is any moral bottom line in Adam's heart, it's just that he feels that if he does what the monster of despair wants, maybe he will fall into a situation of doom.
When the exact same ending was repeated hundreds of times, Adam suddenly realized.
Since he wants to observe despair, and then experience despair, since he omits the theory and directly enters the clinical stage with himself as the test subject, then this behavior of maintaining reason is undoubtedly stupid, and he knows that he must make changes.
There is nothing that can be obtained without paying a price. The reason why Adam took the initiative to enter the illusion is to gamble with the monster of despair and tear the soul. The bet is his life. This is the stud he initiated. , is a game that must be broken to win. He must follow the enemy's rhythm, otherwise he will lose without a doubt. At this time, it is stupid to think about keeping his hole cards.
Adam abandoned his sanity.
......
"What are you going to do?"
The man crawled towards Adam, crawling on the ground, with the words in his mouth: "Hungry, hungry, eat, eat..."
"Stand up, I'll take you to find something to eat." Adam lifted him up and said softly.
The man didn't expect that he could hear such words, so he was helped up and looked at Adam blankly, "Eat? Eat!"
"Well, something to eat." Adam nodded seriously to him, and then said aloud to the few people hiding behind the wall: "Come out, I'll take you all to find something to eat."
This is probably the feeling of climbing a high and waving your arms. In despair, people's moods are full of numbness and hesitation, but suddenly a light appears. Even if the power of this light is small, it is enough to warm people's hearts.
Adam was followed by nearly ten scrawny men, and they all walked down the street together. They imitated Adam's example, and they persuaded everyone who was lying on the ground and who was going to be violent: " Stop, come with us, we'll go find something to eat."
So the crowd grew more and more, they either doubted, believed, or followed Adam with expectation. The stuff in the mouth is taken off and gathered to wait for distribution.
Of course some people don't believe it. They viciously stopped the persuaders and tried to kill them, but Adam gathered too many people, and their viciousness could no longer scare people, but Adam prevented the 'companions' from killing them, Let the disbelievers go.
The group of people had no weaklings to bully, no food source, they began to kill each other, some people got food, some died in the fight, and finally the food was gone, they had to join Adam's team.
Adam gathered all the civilians in the city and collected all the food that could be collected. He ordered everyone to cook the food and distribute it equally to everyone. As for whether the food will be mixed with something that challenges the bottom line of human morality, He has no time to care.
Night falls.
The soldiers who disappeared without a trace during the day reappeared. They didn't pay attention to the gathering crowd at all, and still rudely drove the crowd away, but this time, there was a voice of resistance in the crowd.
"You can't do this. We are unarmed and are not opponents of Warcraft at all. You are soldiers, why don't you protect us? Why didn't Master Mage personally fight back the Warcraft." Someone said loudly.
The man walked out of the crowd, and the many companions behind him gave him infinite courage. He said, "Soldier, I think we need to talk about it, we have no ability to resist monsters, why..."
The soldier in front of him looked at him hideously, raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed his face with the back of the knife, "Untouchables, who allowed you to talk to a descendant of knights like this, you untouchables usually Living in the city like a parasite, enjoying the rule and protection of the nobles, shouldn't I contribute my strength now?"
Adam walked out of the team, looked at the companions around him sympathetically, and said to the soldiers: "I ask to see the Master Mage, and I ask for my due rights."
The soldiers looked at Adam in amazement, and then burst into laughter, bursting into tears: "Hahahaha, what did I hear, the untouchables want to see the noble and great Master Master, hahaha, you dirty and lowly scumbags Bastards, why?"
Adam's eyes were still pitiful, he silently waited for the soldiers to finish laughing, and wanted to continue to persuade, but before he could speak, the soldier suddenly changed his face and said coldly: "I only said it once, now, immediately , go outside the city, otherwise," he raised his long knife, cut open the body of the commoner who started talking, and said cruelly, "you will all die."
The crowd began to riot. They all stepped back towards Adam and looked at Adam with hopeful eyes. Adam said, "No, you can't do this, we also have the right to survive..."
"Kill me!"
The soldiers shouted violently, raised their swords and started to kill their kin.
The civilians couldn't resist at all. They screamed and ran away, and then kept begging for mercy. Adam stood motionless, his eyes were still pitiful, and he was still trying to persuade the soldiers, but was beaten to the ground by the soldiers with their guns: "You're their leader, aren't you? You'll regret what you've done."
The blood was pouring into the river, and the soldiers showed no mercy, and suddenly a voice like this came from the crowd: "Don't kill me, I'm willing to go outside the city, I was bewitched, it's him~IndoMTL.com~ everything is His idea!" The soldiers stopped to kill, watching the man pointed at Adam, hoarse.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then they all came to their senses and put all the faults on Adam. In order to show their minds, they rushed forward to punch and kick Adam on the ground, as if Adam was the devil who tempted them to fall.
The soldiers watched this scene with satisfaction. The captain clapped his hands to stop the killing, and then ordered: "Take them outside the city. As for this person, just stay here."
The hatred of everyone was aroused, and they looked at Adam with disgust and viciousness. The intentions of the soldiers were not sinister. This placed Adam on the opposite side of the people.
The captain stayed at the end. He crouched down and said to Adam, "Guess what will happen to you tomorrow? I hope to see you alive in front of me tomorrow night, hahahaha!"
Adam lay down on the spot, quietly looking at the silent night sky, listening to the sound of fighting outside the city, not knowing how to describe his mood. He lay like this all night, and the surviving crowd outside the city returned to the town covered in bruises. Each of them looked at Adam with hatred and gathered around him. Non-existent cuff.
"Kill him, it is because of him that we will be abandoned by the mages and nobles. He is a devil, kill him!" With such a call, all the survivors madly killed Adam. Come, a force far beyond their physical strength erupted.
Adam did not resist, letting them attack him, letting them tear his flesh.
The breath of life is getting weaker and weaker, Adam is still motionless, there are no eyes in his eye sockets, but he still looks at the sky.
There is a dim light in the empty eyes.
Adam's kindness was replaced by despair.
