The criminals were only focused on escaping, so they did not look back at Shan Liang's back, otherwise they would see an incredible scene.
After passing all the criminals, a knife suddenly appeared in Shan Liang's right hand. Hot blood kept dripping from the blade. Dan Liang's left hand was already holding a knife downwards at some point. Heads gushing blood.
At the same time, a headless corpse flopped down and fell into the dust, and the corpse was wearing a white prison uniform.
Shan Liang cut off a criminal's head with one knife, but his expression remained unchanged and his eyes were firm. He held on to the bloody knife, held the head, and fearlessly ran towards the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake with its mouth open.
"Roar!"
A roar came from the tiger's head, and a rich fishy smell spurted out from its throat, mixed with the strong wind, making people almost nauseous. Shan Liang's expression changed, and he immediately put up a green shield covering his whole body.
"Step to the sky!"
Green light bloomed from the soles of his feet. Dan Liang jumped up in front of the snake's head, kicked his legs three times in mid-air, and his body rose up, as if he was constantly jumping on the air. He jumped to the silver-scaled tiger in a few breaths. The top of the snake's head.
The bleak cold wind blew up the skirt of his clothes. Shan Liang immediately jumped up and slashed hard at the center of the tiger's head with his sword!
"Clang!"
When the bloody knife struck the tiger's head, it broke into two pieces, while the flesh on the head of the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake, covered with gray-brown hair, remained unscathed.
The silver-scale tiger-headed snake immediately straightened up half of its body, and its head suddenly appeared in the air. It shook its head violently, trying to throw the uninvited guest on its head thousands of miles away.
Dan Liang hurriedly stretched out his right hand to grab the hair as thick as a tree branch, and held the bloody head tightly in his arms with his left hand. As the tiger's head shook violently, Shan Liang's body was like a flag fluttering in the wind, as if it would be thrown away at any moment. Open it, but hold on tight.
The silver-scaled tiger-headed snake shook for a moment and then stopped. The tiger head continued to crawl on the ground, twisting the snake's body and moving forward quickly.
The human on the head is like a louse to it. It cannot get rid of it for the time being, so it has to leave it alone. No matter how fat the "lice" is, it can't bite it. The "ants" slowly trying to escape in front of them are the targets that should be dealt with.
The silver-scaled tiger-headed snake followed its instinct, ignored Shan Liang above its head, and continued its "cleaning activities."
Shan Liang still held the tiger's hair with his right hand, and slowly sat down, looking down at the ferocious-looking head in his arms, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I can't save everyone."
Shan Liang looked up at the night sky where meteors streaked across from time to time, and sighed: "Sacrifice one person and save a dozen people. This kind of justice is correct, right?"
The night sky will not answer, the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake will not answer, and the lifeless head will not answer.
"Yes."
Shan Liang had no choice but to ask and answer his own questions.
The silver-scaled tiger-headed snake moved really fast, and within a few breaths it was approaching the fleeing criminals, its screams of fear echoing throughout the night sky.
"Death in a dream!"
Shan Liang sighed and said these four words softly.
Before he finished speaking, the head in Shan Liang's arms suddenly smiled sternly, rose into the air, and suddenly exploded with a "boom". At the same time, a huge phantom with a human head poked out from the sky, and a pair of ferocious eyes stared at the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake crawling on the ground.
"Roar!"
The silver-scaled tiger-headed snake roared, and suddenly its body fell to the side. The eyes on the tiger's head slowly closed, and calm and regular breathing continued to spray out from its nose.
Is the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake actually asleep
... ...
Shan Liang is a supernatural being. He has a power called "whimsical ability", and his power is called "Death in Dreams".
At the moment when his power was fully awakened, Shan Liang understood the meaning of the name of the power and what kind of life he would have.
Like all abilities, "Death in Dreams" has three major elements: effect, conditions and restrictions.
Its effect is very powerful, and it can hypnotize its target in a very short period of time. Although the hypnosis result is only a light sleep that will wake up at the touch of a touch, it already has an extremely terrifying effect.
But the conditions for using "Death in Dreams" are even more terrifying than its effect - death is the only condition for triggering this ability, and it is not an ordinary death, but the recently dead head must be sacrificed in order to activate "Death in Dreams" ".
With such a power, one is destined to walk with death.
"Kind Dan Liang? Oh, my hands are already stained with sin."
Shan Liang laughed to himself, lying on his back among the hair of the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake, staring at the dark night sky where there were no stars, but there were meteors streaking from time to time, and he was lost in thought.
Of course he had killed people, more than one, more than ten, or even more than a hundred. Fresh heads can be the triggering condition for "Dream of Death", and "Dream of Death" is the best way for him to improve his hero ranking.
Therefore, he was promoted from the lowest F-level hero to C-level. His wealth, fame, and status were incomparable, but the sins in his hands had already accumulated into mountains. Betraying his companions, cutting off the heads of other heroes to complete the "death dream", and then faking the illusion of heroic sacrifice of his companions, all of this became the entirety of his life, the only meaning of his life.
Until, he met a woman, who clearly saw through his true face, but still stood in front of him at a critical moment. She had a chance to escape alone, but she resolutely ran to rescue him who was injured.
Before she died.
He asked: "Why save me?"
She replied: "We are heroes, and it is our responsibility to rescue the suffering people, isn't it?"
He continued to ask: "Even if he is a scumbag, do we still want to save him?"
She nodded slightly, said "Yeah", and slowly closed her eyes.
Then he cut off her head and lived.
"You are really, really stupid and naive."
Dan Liang smiled tenderly at the sky, "But I like it."
Any ability has effects, conditions, and limitations. The restriction on the use of "Death in Dream" is - it cannot be more than three meters away from the dreaming target, otherwise the target will wake up.
So even if the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake wakes up at any time, Shan Liang cannot leave immediately.
"The feeling of risking one's life to save a group of scum is so fucked up!"
Shan Liang complained harshly, then smiled softly and said almost as if he was dreaming: "But if you don't do this, I will feel worthless for you."
... ...
... ...
Shan Liang thought he had saved a dozen criminals. When the criminals discovered that the star beast did not continue to chase them, they thought they were finally saved. However, if they looked down from the sky, they would discover a cruel truth.
The direction in which the dozen criminals were escaping was colliding head-on with a Chimera. In a few minutes, they would meet!
Of course, the criminals didn't know that they were running towards death. They just ran wildly, thankful that they survived. They felt a little grateful to Dan Liang in their hearts, but not much. Maybe they would mention such a self-proclaimed hero when drinking with their brothers in the future. Fool, and then shout long live the fool.
The people who were fleeing did not notice that a black cloud hidden in the night was floating in the mid-air. There was light hidden in the black cloud, covering the two figures.
In fact, the two people in the black cloud have appeared in this sky for a long time, and they have a panoramic view of everything, whether it is Shan Liang's "kind" sacrifice, the ugly struggles of the criminals, or the ruthless separation of Ding Yi and Hongmei. Go, they all see it.
But when things have developed to this point, the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake will wake up at any time. At that time, the silver-scaled tiger-headed snake cannot see the damn "ants" and will inevitably get angry at the "lice" on its head. Dan Liang is in a very dangerous situation. And those criminals will soon bump into the Chimera waiting for them. Tragedy is about to happen, and one of the people in the black cloud can no longer stand by and watch.
"Can you help me..." The young man's voice sounded in the dark clouds with some hope.
"Help, help... who? The hero? Or the criminals?" The girl's voice, unable to hear any emotions, interrupted the boy's words.
"Of course..." The young man suddenly stopped mid-sentence, took a breath, and seemed to be lost in thought.
"The hero who sacrifices himself and the criminal who selfishly escapes for his life should naturally choose the hero, but what if one life is compared with a dozen lives?"
The girl said: "So the question is, if you were given enough power to save one party, one hero and a dozen criminals, who would you choose to save?"
Justice may be based on personal emotions or awe-inspiring justice, but the question is when the quality and quantity of life conflict, which side will you choose to save
"Which side you choose, I will save. So, choose, Shi Xiaobai."
(ps: Choices are everywhere. The choices Shan Liang is making at this moment and the choices Shi Xiaobai is about to make are all some fucking concepts I want to convey. They all say that a good writer must do three things well: create characters, Write good stories and convey values. I want to be a good writer, so I won’t settle for just the first two!)
