Chapter 178 Chapter 170·"I will go to a grand death"

Su Mingan was slightly taken aback.

"You just said that these children are going to die today..." He asked Qingqing.

"Yeah, probably before the extreme night today." Qing Qing pouted: "Brother, you came here by accident. Today happens to be the annual dedication day in the town. It's not a good day."

"What is Dedication Day?"

"Here, probably... the other side of the other side of the mountain?" Qing Qing tiptoed, pointing to the other side of the town: "Dad said, there is a very scary, big, cannibalistic giant over there." monster."

She opened her hands and gestured in a big circle, as if she really wanted to describe the scary monster: "It can eat people! If it is hungry, it will eat people. If it runs into the town...we will all eat it." to be eaten.

So the big guy thought of a way. The big monster is lazy and sleeps for a long time every year, but it can eat people before going to sleep.We give it the unawakened children...so it won't come and eat us! "

Her hands drew a big arc, her tone was playful, and her movements were cute, like a child standing on tiptoe trying to grow taller.

But Su Mingan understood the extremely cruel content in her tone.

"The unawakened child..." Su Mingan glanced at the place where the children played.

After being taken away by the adults, the surroundings were completely quiet, and there seemed to be no sound at all.

The best time for children to awaken is five or six years old. After that, if they still have not awakened their abilities, it will be difficult to have another chance.I can only be an ordinary person with low strength for the rest of my life.

And the people in this kind of town don't have much blood inheritance ability, and the talent awakening magic circle has not been researched, so they are almost powerless to resist the man-eating monsters.

However, if you choose to relocate collectively, in such a harsh environment, the only way is to freeze to death.

Apart from sending worthless children and elderly people to World of Warcraft, praying for it to eat and hibernate, and not disturb their hometown, people have no other way.

Qingqing is lucky, she has awakened her ability, even if she can only light a flame now, it is still an ability.She has the basic qualifications to live.

You don't have to be sent to the mouth of a monster by your own blood relatives at a young age, and die in the most cruel way.

...to exchange the lives of a few children for the survival of the entire town.

"It's another balance with life as the [chip]." Su Mingan said in a low voice.

It's just that this balance, in his opinion, is more bloody and obvious.

"What balance?" Qing Qing didn't understand.

Although Qingqing is lucky, life is not easy.

Those children who are chosen and destined to die, even if they don't know their future fate, will subconsciously stay away from Qingqing amidst the sighs of their parents.And those parents whose children were selected were even more sad and painful, but for the sake of the overall situation, they had no ability to refuse. They could only push their children out with their own hands and watch them die.

When seeing Qingqing who is alive and well, those parents who have suffered the pain of bereavement will inevitably feel unbalanced, even if they know that the [value] of capable people is far higher than that of their children.

——Why, you will be the awakened one?
——Why, the one who died was not you?
——Why, just because of a simple awakening ceremony and a result, let their children die?

Usually, they are angry, indifferent, and stay away, because all capable people are [heresy], and behind every capable person are the lives of countless children.

But once the moment of disaster comes, they will rely on the capable person again, because they know in their hearts who can save their lives.

Survivors will be the bearers of suffering, and they will struggle forever in the future.

Great righteousness always wears a sacred cloak, making everyone coerced in a kind of silence-and when all this has not happened to them, people only feel that the future is bright.

"I have thought about helping Uncle Tom and Aunt Meiyin who live next door." Qingqing said softly, "But when I went in with firewood and saw the empty crib in the corner of their room, I didn't dare... ...I always feel that I owe them, no matter how much I make up for them..."

Su Ming'an didn't speak.

"I always feel that everyone is looking at me in the wrong way... I used to have a few good friends, but they were all sent to the mountains soon." She pinched the side of the wooden bowl with her fingers, as if she was in a bad mood Tranquility: "...I still remember the look in Alan's eyes that day, she looked at me with red eyes, grabbed the corner of my clothes, and said she didn't want to be separated from me...

The grown-ups lied to them, saying they were just out for a picnic, to see the other side of the mountain.

But Alan is precocious and has heard the conversations of adults, she knows that she will not come back this time..."

"Ridiculous." Su Mingan said softly.

"Big Brother." Qing Qing tilted her head: "What are you talking about?"

"I said...the seemingly tacit understanding of righteous words is actually the cruelest thing." Su Mingan said: "Qingqing, when everyone thinks that a rule is reasonable, the person who is suddenly sacrificed seems insignificant." .”

Qingqing blinked.

Her little brain didn't seem to be able to react yet, why did this noble elder brother suddenly start talking nonsense.

She turned the bowl over and held it firmly in her hand.

"Big brother... How about, why don't I go and cook some medicine for you." She said, turned around and left, slipping like a rabbit, as if she was afraid of him.

The barrage is already laughing like crazy, they jokingly said that this time Lori has a future, but she has not been brainwashed, it is really gratifying.

But Su Mingan was clearly saying these words very seriously.

He sometimes tries to convey his meaning in the live broadcast room through some words, but the barrage always seems to be meme, focusing on some meaningless things.They paid much more attention to the girl for nothing than to the task itself.

"--grown ups."

There was a sound of stepping on the snow nearby, and Momo came over pushing a cart loaded with various kinds of firewood.

"It's cold outside, if you haven't recovered well, you'd better go back and rest..."

"Where are those children?" Su Mingan asked.

"what?"

"The ones that were taken to die, those children."

Mo Mo's face froze for a moment, and he immediately wanted to explain: "We don't want them to die, but there is no way..."

"It's okay, I understand." Su Mingan said, "I mean, get them back—from now on, you don't need to send these children over there anymore."

The bitterness on Momo's face froze for a moment.

But soon, his facial muscles began to shake, and his emotions seemed to be very excited:
"You... what do you mean..."

"Call people to the square in the center of the town, everyone." Su Mingan said, "Your town should have a relatively large square. Go and call people."

This time, he wanted to try from a different angle.

He remembered that it was written in the task prompt that in addition to studying the magic circle by himself, he could also help others awaken to push the final progress bar.

So, if the entire town can be awakened, will it help his final progress?
Anyway, there are infinite opportunities for trial and error, and the key save points have been fixed. As long as he chooses to revert before the tenth day, he will not be afraid of the time point passing and the phenomenon of dead files.

Before Xu Anna arrives, this period of time is absolutely safe.

"Okay - I'll go right away!"

Maybe it was because of the excitement, or maybe it was the absolute trust in the legendary nobleman. Momo didn't think carefully about the meaning of Su Mingan's words. He just thought that maybe the nobleman wanted to pick a few more children back.

Su Mingan went to the center of the town first.

The square here is a bit like the one in Terry Town, except that the ground is a dirt road, a little uneven, and there is snow of varying thickness.

He took out the dagger and cut open the palm of his hand, because the area to be awakened this time was very large, so he made a few more strokes, and the blood flow slowly transformed the soil surface of the square into a pattern of a magic circle.

According to the description in Qinwang's notebook, after finishing the painting, he carefully revised several places according to the terrain and orientation, and then raised his head.

There was a crowd of people, people who had just rushed back from the outside and were still carrying all kinds of farm tools, looking at him eagerly, not daring to make a sound.

"Those who want to wake up, come in." Su Mingan said, "There should be about the same number of people, and you can all stand in."

This group of people obviously still has a strong rejection of the nobles, even though he has drawn the magic circle so clearly, no one dares to come in.

Maybe these people haven't heard much about the talent awakening circle, after all, they have to do their best to survive.

But soon, Mo Mo was the first to stand in.

He didn't really believe that a magic circle could change the fate of this continent for thousands of years, but he had no choice, after all, he was the one who called everyone over in a hurry.

But soon, he no longer regretted his choice.

After the magic circle emitted light, and his originally dim tattoo gradually lit up again, he covered his chest, suppressing the shock in his heart.

...it worked.

He had originally awakened his ability, but this time he couldn't awaken another ability. However, he could clearly feel that his own vitality, which had been dissipated little by little, was gathered together.

...in other words, he lived longer.

He can have safer and longer-lasting abilities.

At the same time, Su Mingan also saw the progress bar representing the overall progress, and it jumped to 99.2%.

"I didn't expect that I was quite talented in research." He smiled.

The magic circle, which originally only worked on the incapable, unexpectedly had the effect of prolonging the duration of the ability.And this effect is essentially no different from dispelling impurities in the blood.

This also means that it is completely feasible to transform the magic circle into a magic circle that dispels the dragon's blood.

The road of admiration... Finally, it was considered the right one.

The idea of ​​this proud scholar was confirmed by Su Mingan on the ninth day after his death.

Su Mingan wrote down the few points that had just been revised, but still felt uneasy, so he took out his admired notebook, copied a few of the contents, and added them at the end.

While he was recording, other townspeople rushed in as if they had been slapped with chicken blood, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to stand inside the magic circle. , are the desire for life.

...is indeed the hope of life.

Awakened ability, for people like them, is the capital to survive.

This magic circle is no less than a salvation for them.

Red light comes on.

"Ding dong!"

[Personal identity task completed]

——"Before the final moment, you successfully brought the future of this continent."]

……

The magic circle exudes red light, covering everyone who steps in.

Amidst the joy, tattoos of various colors emerged on their bodies—this was their salvation.

"—Success!"

"Really successful?"

"I'm awake, I'm awake! My God, this is really not a dream..."

Some people laughed loudly, some people wept with joy, and in the middle of the crowd, several children were lifted high by their own adults—they escaped the tragic fate of being buried in the belly of the beast.

Su Mingan saw the clear smiles on their faces, saw the child stretching out his hand to give him candy, saw someone knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed heavily to him, and saw the old people so grateful that they burst into tears.

He saw children singing around him, they should be singing local folk songs, their mouths opened and closed, and their smiles touched people's hearts.

...but he was almost out of hearing.

Such a large-scale awakening circle hurt his mind far more than simple bloodletting. At the moment when the second red light came on, he almost couldn't breathe, and his whole body was about to fall into the ice and snow.

His body was unprecedentedly heavy, and his tinnitus sounded intermittently. When he was sucking in the dry and cold air, he heard almost tearing whines coming from all around his body.

...He didn't expect that a simple awakening would weaken this body to such an extent.

It's like, if you close your eyes, you won't be able to open them again.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky.In the distance, the starlight like torrential rain, congealed like ice particles, seems to be brewing a blizzard in the polar night period.

He felt himself being hugged, and a warmth came up.

Qing Qing hugged him and held his hand, her eyes held a seriousness that he had never seen before.

Looking at the somewhat blurred scene of people dancing wildly in front of him, Su Mingan suddenly remembered a sentence Qin Wang said.

"...【I will go to a grand death.】"

As he thought about it, he couldn't help saying this sentence.

Qing Qing held his hand.

Seemingly self-taught, a warm heat slowly spread from the place Qing Qing held, hot and scalding.

Su Mingan suddenly understood - although he looked up to this guy, although he was a little proud, what he said was actually true.

All the posthumous fame he wanted seems to be really coming true now.

One magic circle, one life, 18 years...and people from one continent.

These two things seem to have been put on the scale without a sound, and the weight on the right side seems to be much heavier than the left side.

The exhaustion hit like a tide, and the body was cooling down a little bit.

Su Mingan closed his eyes.

"... what death, what grand."

He heard Qingqing's extremely thin voice.

She held his hand, which seemed to be tighter.

"Don't always be like a child and say some shameful and strange things, big brother. Qingqing is more mature than you."
