Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1258 Ragnarok of the Gods (36)

Cheng Mo stared at Xiyuansi Aoi in the frozen time and space, but didn't speak immediately.

At the time of the pause, the huge searchlight on the top of the tower just swept across the window behind Xiyuan Temple Aoi, and the solidified beam of light was like a passage from the earth to the sky.Xiyuanji Aoi's somewhat illusory figure overlapped with the beam of light, as if she was an angel standing among them.

It was supposed to be an abrupt stop, but it didn't seem so abrupt, it was quite natural, and it seemed that the plot should be arranged like this.

"Maybe "Asura" is not a movie, but a game, a game that requires you to make constant choices. So my choice just now was wrong?"

Cheng Mo's heart was a little vigilant, and then he thought that there was a high probability that he was thinking too much.This kind of thinking made him break away from identity and plot, and returned to the identity of "Cheng Mo", which is higher than K00's identity.

So the feeling of incompatibility suddenly came to my face.The viscous sweat in the high-voltage protective clothing, the normal syllables that just drifted in his ears, the still wind and snow outside the window, and the Aoi Xiyuanji who was out of tune with the surrounding environment all reminded him that all this was just a test .

Looking back at the moment when he aimed the gun at the king of spades, the emotions that surged in his heart were like a raging flame.He could clearly feel that his heart was cold, but his emotions were boiling to the extreme.He also clearly knew that this was just a fictitious story.He can even understand that the purpose of this story is to ignite his soul, make him unable to control his emotions, indulge the rampant killing intent, and enjoy the pleasure of hatred.

The towering tower, the hazy weather and the K of Spades, which resembles Napoleon VII, all hint at him.He still hadn't let go of that Christmas Eve in Paris many years ago.

Although he did some crazy things afterwards, it didn't help.The anger in his chest was still piling up, pressing heavily on his heart, they were gradually rotting, slowly corroding his internal organs.

It was probably this kind of emotion that led to his perfect fit with K01's mood.It is also because of Xiyuanji Aoi's promise that he is unscrupulous.In short, he just now clearly knew that he shouldn't do this, but he still wanted to throw himself into the frenzy of killing.

Even if the ending will destroy the world.

The world is virtual, but feelings are real.As long as feelings are real, the boundary between virtual and real is blurred.Anyway, he had to admit that the power of hatred was far stronger than he imagined.

Cheng Mo secretly took a deep breath, calmed down the ups and downs in his heart, and replied: "According to the general story plot, of course I should kill him and liquidate those who work for tigers. For my sister, and for those innocent victims The poor battery people imprisoned here, but also the people who are suffering in this terrible world. This is impeccable justice, right?" He shrugged, "There is a better choice, lock him in the coil In the cage, let him be pumped day and night to undergo labor reform. This is also a good ending."

Xiyuan Temple Aoi said meaningfully: "This story is called "Asura". In Buddhist classics, you become an Asura because you have seen what hell is, so your heart is broken. When you can see through hell and come out of hell, became an Asura."

Cheng Mo said indifferently: "Anyway, you can pass the level, so there is no need to think so much about how to do it. What's more, Asura uses the way of killing and stopping killing. I will kill him, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But he has maintained the continuation of human civilization. And he said that only he can save the world, even so, do you still want to kill him?" Xiyuan Temple Aoi paused, watching Cheng Mo's face with a half-smile expression Eyes, "If you say it's because he is doing evil, he caused countless people's suffering, but he also saved so many people. Look at the people you meet along the way, everyone is sinister, cunning, greedy and vicious, except for a very few No girl as innocent as your sister is a good man. Not even Shakespeare is a good man, to him no one's life matters, he just wants to collect more books, for a book he can It is easy to kill anyone, no matter who that person is. And the Thunder General you adopted, she is not a good person, she was so bloodthirsty before she met you, she did not trust anyone, and wanted to destroy the world Everything. She obeys your orders, regardless of right and wrong, she is just a killing machine in your hands. And those who follow you, the bounty hunters are to enter the sky, burn, kill and loot, and the rebels are to become heaven. People are still out for revenge, and your believers are desperate bottom people. They believe in you only because you can keep them alive and give them food. Look, most people in this world are You are ignorant, selfish, disgusting and dirty, and you can do anything for survival and profit, so do you have to kill everyone to clean the world?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "Your question is wrong. There is no definition of good or bad in this world. Before there is no definition of good or bad, you can't simply judge everyone here according to the morality in reality. For them, surviving That's the most important thing. I don't feel that King of Spades can be judged as good or bad or righteous and evil. I killed him just because he caused my sister to suffer. I feel the pain. So I want to He paid the price!" He looked down at the ace of spades pointed at by him with a gun, "As for cleaning the world? That's not my responsibility."

Xiyuanji Aoi pursed her lips, maintaining a smiling expression, but remained silent.

Cheng Mo put down the gun, smiled and said: "Of course, if I didn't know that Miss Kui could help me pass this test, I would definitely choose other methods. I know that Ace of Spades has no choice. He imprisoned so many battery people. It is for the survival of more people, for the continuation and development of human beings, and it may even be for a breakthrough in some kind of technology, so that human beings can return to normal order. This kind of implication is already obvious. I don’t understand, Spade K They represent the rulers, people like C2 and old D represent the elite, the residents of Tiandu represent the ordinary people who are tied to the interests of Tiandu City, and the battery people represent leeks. Those poor outsiders are not even leeks. , it can only be filthy soil. Maybe we can divide it more finely, but this is not a particularly important thing. In short, I understand that everything I have experienced is a projection of reality, but it is more primitive and cruel." He said, "I have to say that this is a good story. It did stir up my emotions, but it wasn't enough to make me sink in and couldn't extricate myself in order to taste the thrill of revenge. When I wanted to pull away , I can still do it.”

Xiyuanji Aoi looked at Cheng Mo's face as if seeking an answer, "If you need to save this world, save this evil world, what should you do?"

Cheng Mo sighed and said, "Isn't the plot over here?"

"It's almost over." Aoi Xiyuanji said, "I'm just asking you to satisfy my personal curiosity."

"What kind of answer do you want to get? Or what kind of answer does the system want to get?" Cheng Mo stared at Xiyuan Temple Aoi and said lightly, "I think maybe it should be like this. In the story of "Asura", I need to be a great saint. I know that the people I save are not the kind people at the bottom, nor are they all hardworking and brave people. Even the vast majority of them are ugly, barbaric, numb, and depraved. They have done all kinds of bad things, They are rascals, they have no qualities, and it would not be a pity to even wipe them all out. And I must be a saint who understands the world, accepts it, and is still willing to use great love to change the world. Completely cut off all sensual pleasures, get high scores, and pass the test."

Xiyuan Temple Aoi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, and said softly: "As expected of someone my younger brother also admires. To pass "Asura", one must have the wisdom to recognize reality, and must also have the courage to face the cruel world. Courage. Only by achieving these two points can you pass, and you have said everything."

Cheng Mo smiled, "I'm a well-known essayist."

Xiyuan Temple Aoi also covered her mouth and smiled, "I was a little worried just now, it seems that I was unnecessary, and you can easily pass this level."

Cheng Mo shook his head, "I know the correct answer to this question. But I don't think this is the correct solution to save the world."

Xiyuanji Aoi was slightly surprised, "Oh?"

Cheng Mo sighed and said: "The saint will weaken and die. When the saint is weak, those selfish people will show their fangs. When the saint dies, the order he established will gradually collapse because of losing control. .Saints can usually only save people for a while, but not forever. Then, human beings fall into a cycle of misfortune.”

Xiyuan Temple Aoi squinted her eyes and stared at Cheng Mo, like a cat staring at a ball of thread, "Then what should we do?"

Cheng Mo replied without hesitation: "History has given the answer, hope, faith, and enemies are indispensable!"

"enemy?"

"Yes." Cheng Mo pointed to the Ace of Spades and said, "It's like every story needs a villain. Without a villain, it is not enough to constitute an attractive story. To see that even the Creator needs Lucifer as an enemy, this That's what hatred and fear are all about. It brings people together. It's not enough to set an example. If I were to save this messy world, I'd make gods, not just gods, but human beings. We also need a powerful enemy. How about we make up a story, the name of the story is "Sacred Classic", this story tells people that the reason why human beings fall into eternal winter disaster is because a person named Di Shitian sent down punishment, Let the world become a hell. If the dark clouds in the sky dissipate and the sun returns to the earth, we must believe in Lucifer. This is not enough just a story, we also need to formulate what people should do to be a believer. For example, the Ten Commandments. You shall have no other gods besides Lucifer; you shall not make for yourself any idols and worship; you shall not take the name of Lucifer your Creator in vain; keep the Sabbath day holy; honor your father and mother; you shall not murder; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not be false Do not be greedy for other people's wives and property, but also tell human beings how terrible Di Shitian is, and how evil Di Shitian who controls hell is. To show signs of his real existence, for this we also need to sacrifice some evil people, lead them to believe in Indra, execute them in public, use fear to make people unite, such tricks have been used countless times in history as long as there is a common With beliefs and a common enemy, human beings can get rid of disorder and build a lawful world.”

"But history has also proved that God cannot save this world."

"That's because Lucifer, the enemy of God, poses no threat to human beings. People can't feel the horror of Lucifer, so they naturally lose their belief in God. Lucifer is like a 'nuclear bomb'. Why can the 'nuclear bomb' give human beings Bring peace, because people know how terrible it is." Cheng Mo said coldly, "But people nowadays don't know how terrible Lucifer is."

Xiyuan Temple Aoi stared deeply into Cheng Mo's eyes, and said in a low voice, "This is just a very simple fact, but I don't know why, but when you say it from your mouth, there is a chilling taste." She lowered her head. Eyelid, "Maybe it's because your thinking is too clear."

"I'm just repeating history. It's easy to say, but it's more difficult to implement. The main reason is that it's too difficult to be a god. I don't like to carry a heavy cross and be a moral model." Cheng Mo took a breath, "Let me Choose, I would rather be that big villain that everyone fears. This world has too high requirements for good people, and too much patience for bad people. If a good person does something wrong, he will be criticized by everyone, and if a bad person does a good thing, the prodigal son will never return. Even Buddhist scriptures bully honest people. Tang Seng had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to become a Buddha. As long as you are bad and powerful, you just need to put down the butcher knife. To be a good person, you have to be pointed at by a gun. Cut open my stomach to show others how many bowls of noodles I ate. I don’t want to be pointed at by a gun, and I don’t want to be wronged and have to prove my innocence.” He said blankly, “I’d rather be a bad guy. It’s like being a nuclear bomb.” The bad guys, at least no one dares to provoke me easily."

Xiyuansi Aoi covered her lips and smiled lightly again, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, "Cheng Jun is really an interesting person." She paused for a while, and said word by word, "I like it."

"I'm glad Miss Kui said that." Cheng Mo replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Ben Wan-chan didn't misunderstand the person."

"And I hope he's not mistaken."

"When you go out of the Functional Theater and continue walking, you will meet Master Charlie."

"Master Charlie! I once had a relationship with him on Penglai Island."

Aoi Xiyuanji nodded, "I guess he won't stop you, but only asks you to think carefully before entering the Labyrinth of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres."

Cheng Mo was taken aback, and said with some surprise: "The labyrinth of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres?" He remembered the metal pipe that locked the "God's gene" on the shore of Lake Baikal that year.On the lid of the metal tube is the "Maze of Notre-Dame Cathedral of Chartres". Only by letting the steel balls inside go out of the maze can the lid be opened and the "God Gene" taken out.Recalling that scene now seems like it was still yesterday, he tremblingly opened the metal tube, and injected the boiling foaming "God Gene" into Xie Minyun's body, that was the brightest moment in his life.It is by no means a coincidence that he now faces the "labyrinth of Notre-Dame de Chartres".

"how?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Mo came back to his senses, "I've encountered this maze before, if it's just walking through the maze, it shouldn't be difficult for me."

"I don't know if the maze is difficult or not. I only know that the big trouble you are facing is that you are about to face Astaroth, Baimon's group, Samikina, and Agares' group." Xiyuanji Aoi Said, "Only one can pass through the labyrinth to meet Lord Nebuchadnezzar, and they are competitors with you."

Cheng Mo frowned, "Have they all passed the functional theater?"

"Not yet. Samikina and the others came in more than five hours before you, and the group of Astaroth came in more than four hours before you. They have not yet passed the functional theater. But Astaro, Baimon, Samikina, and Agares should be able to pass, strong people like them will not indulge in sensory stimulation for a long time, and sooner or later they will find the correct answer and break free."

Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "What about my companions? Can you help them get out of the functional theater early?"

"Yes. But your wife has already come out." Xiyuan Temple Aoi smiled wryly, "I have never seen someone like her relying on unparalleled strength to directly break open the sensual theater."

"She is really not too interested in movies and games that stimulate the senses. If she chooses a warmer family soap opera, maybe she will stay longer."

Xiyuanji Aoi sighed and bowed deeply, "Next time I will definitely prepare some scripts with such a plot."

"If there is a next time. I also hope that you can prepare a more interesting plot for me. Such a hell plot is really embarrassing."

Xiyuanji Aoi smiled and said, "Next time."

Cheng Mo didn't know if Xiyuan Temple Aoi was playing tricks or what, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I can go out now?"

Xiyuanji Aoi blinked and said, "You still have to choose whether to kill him or not."

Cheng Mo saw Xiyuansi Aoi waving that slender white hand again.Inexplicably, the sound of neng flute and clapper sounded in the air like weeping, like the sad ending of a tragedy movie.Along with the music, Xiyuanji Aoi's beautiful figure slowly disappeared into the beam of light pierced by the searchlight, and the cold beam of light started to move again like the one-eye of a god.

The double-barreled shotgun in his hand was still pointed at the forehead of Spade K, and his movements remained unchanged.

The deep breathing of Spade K also echoed in Cheng Mo's ears, like a broken drum. "Kill me, kill me! It doesn't matter if I die. In fact, I'm already dead. But I'm about to succeed, I'm about to succeed, I'm really not reconciled."

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "What is going to succeed soon?"

Spade K rolled his throat and said in a low voice: "This Tongtian tower is a divine tower in ancient times, it can gather energy." He described in a hoarse voice, "When it gathers enough energy, it can Pierce the clouds that cover the sky. The sun will come out." He smiled, and said with infinite longing, "You know! The sun will come out! At that time, not only spring, but also summer and autumn. Feifei, the birds sing, the green trees sprout. In summer, there are cicadas singing, golden beaches, coconut trees, and cold cola. You must not know what cola is, it is the currency issued by us every day.”

"I know." Cheng Mo said.

"Do you know? I didn't expect that there are people in this world who know Coke, so have you ever drank it?"

"Drink."

Spade K swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "What does it taste like?"

"I can't describe it. If you don't know what summer is, you don't know what Coke tastes like."

"It's a pity. It's a pity that I will soon know what Xia Tian is like. I finally managed to gather so many super-level battery people. Our family has worked hard for so many years and sacrificed so many people." Spade K closed his eyes silently, and tears fell silently. When he opened his eyes again, he said sadly to Cheng Mo, "But you ruined it! You ruined this world! We... see you again The sun is gone!"

Cheng Mo stared at the king of spades, leaning against the railing of the observation deck, behind him was the endless dark abyss and endless snow. "It's okay." He pulled the trigger, and the fire burst out, "I will help you fulfill your wish."

Spade K tilted his head back, and his whole body fell off the railing. His tall and thin body fell straight into the endless blackness. The snow floating around him was like flying white paper money.

Cheng Mo looked down at the K of Spades falling, until it disappeared, and then he said to himself: "So... I killed another me? This is really a horrifying reversal."

"Bang~~" There was a muffled light sound from the distant depths, which penetrated the sound of the flute and clapper.

Cheng Mo turned and walked towards the stairs, suddenly recalling a passage from "The Three-Body Problem": "In the last 54 minutes of 10 years, Luo Ji still stood by. But now humans are going to judge him. Luo Ji said a word of thanks for his 54 years of work. Human beings do not thank Luo Ji. Human beings want to try him. He has been accused of committing the crime of world extinction, and he is currently detained by the International Court of Justice and will be investigated.”

The beam of the searchlight turned over his head. He stood on the steps, looked up at the dark sky, and said in a low voice, "Humans don't thank Luo Ji. Humans will judge him." He threw away the double-barreled shotgun, bowed his head and continued. Go down and say in a voice only you can hear, "This is the price of being Lucifer."
