Extremely close to death, yet difficult to escape... What kind of hopeless terror is this? And in the face of death, what choice will human beings make
Gao Ying once thought about this question.
He once remembered that in 2005, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the world's anti-Fascist victory, his father was invited to appear on TV many times to preach the history of World War II. As a native of country Z, the focus of my father's research was naturally the bloody war between the Chinese nation and country R on the eastern battlefield. He was deeply impressed by his father's words.
"In that era, every son and daughter of country Z did not have the right to escape the war and live in the world. I once heard a saying that if country Z and country R go to war again, many young people today will become traitors, but I don't Don't think so. Because at that time, they will realize that many things are more important than being alive."
Gao Ying didn't fully understand his father's words. Therefore, he wants to understand what is higher than death and higher than life. Therefore, his biggest dream is to become a documentary writer on the history of World War II and write a detailed history book about World War II. He wanted to know why human beings killed each other more than 60 years ago, at the expense of so many innocent lives. World War II, especially the Anti-Japanese War, was one of the most tragic wars for mankind in the era of hot weapons. And so many soldiers, facing the inescapable death, with what mentality did they set foot on the battlefield? The main theme is mentioned in the textbook, but is it really just like this? What kind of will do they use to overcome the fear of death that can make the whole nation sacrifice their lives and pay the price of so many lives
Gao Ying looked at the hut outside the window, and he felt that the god of death was waving to him there.
"I… "
Gao Ying couldn't understand what was higher than life and death. After all, he is only 18 years old. Although he is knowledgeable and can be called an encyclopedia of human figures, he cannot find standard answers to many things from books. From childhood to adulthood, the extremely glamorous life made him fully feel the beauty of life. He felt that it was because of this that he had the idea of longing for an eternal and immortal life.
Coveting the life of immortality... Is it really such a heinous crime? Gao Ying looked at the rising sun in the sky, he was very confused. This exam is a completely contradictory existence. Those who yearn for eternal life are here to welcome death earlier. And if you want to live, you must walk with death at any time. However, the extremely contradictory existence of life and death doesn't exist in every living individual? Only creatures can die, and conversely, only those that will eventually die can be considered a life. Gao Ying realized that his will had rebelled against the law of life, and because of this... he also suffered from the curse of the contradiction between life and death in this exam.
After intense psychological struggle, he finally made up his mind.
This is the price he must pay for his greed for eternal life. He has no possibility of turning back, either he will be buried in the exam scene, or he can live the same life as the world! There is no other way!
He went outside and glanced at the map again.
Staring at the red five-pointed star marked on the mountain on the map, he pondered in his heart, what did this village named "Yinmen" do to get retribution? For some reason, Gao Ying suddenly felt sympathetic to them. Although they were the source of the curse, they... were also just tools for this exam. Even after death, he could not get freedom and rest, and was still controlled by this curse like a puppet on a string.
After Gao Ying walked out of the gate, she looked back at everyone. Finally... this time, no one disappeared.
"I decided to go to that house."
Gao Ying stretched out his hand and pointed to the house not far away, on a higher ground.
At this moment, Lin Jia and Cheng Ge changed their faces the fastest. On the contrary, apart from Ji Yixuan, Shen Junhao and Jiao Chaoming didn't react too much.
"We...really going there?" Lin Jia's face became extremely pale, and she waved her hands again and again, "I... I don't want to go!"
As for Cheng Ge, he really doesn't have much sense of presence in the team, so he said with a bitter face, "Why... why did you go there?"
Gao Ying had expected this a long time ago, and replied: "Because that's where we are most likely to find clues."
In fact, the truth is not difficult to understand, but it is self-evident how dangerous it is there. Gao Ying himself almost died there.
"I agree." The person who said this was Jiao Chaoming. He agrees with Gao Ying's idea, and at the same time, he also knows that he cannot escape now. Escape will only bring greater disaster. He... had such a miserable experience before.
"Don't... I don't want to go in!"
Lin Jia didn't have the guts, even though everyone would go in, but thinking of Ma Jun who disappeared without anyone noticing, she couldn't help but be terrified. As for Cheng Ge, he is a man after all, since everyone decided to go in together, and Gao Ying also acted swearing, then...he might as well give it a go!
Now, Gao Ying raised his head.
If one wants to gain eternal life, one must first have the consciousness of giving up one's life...? Those who do not have this awareness will only face death.
Gao Ying knew that this was the most crucial one.
It is very possible... One careless step will usher in the end of his life. Every step he took, he had to be extremely careful. If he made a slight mistake in his judgment, he might never have the chance to start over again.
This is life, a life once lost and never revived.
"In that case, Lin Jia stays, let's go."
For Gao Ying, it was extremely difficult to say the three words "Let's go". Every time he uttered a word, it was like cutting his own soul. But this time, Ji Yixuan still silently expressed his support for Gao Ying. This gave Gao Ying great comfort...and peace of mind.
In fact, it's not that Gao Ying hasn't considered that there might be a better choice... Maybe the key to getting the clue to the final solution lies somewhere else, which can be obtained with less risk. But the problem is... time is running out. What Gao Ying was worried about was that when the exam was coming to an end, the devil was very likely to start a frenzied killing. At that time, if he came here again, he would be courting death. The two powers harm each other whichever is less. Risks are uncontrollable, and Gao Ying can only reduce the foreseeable risks as much as possible. Only by making the final argumentation questions can you increase your high score and get a new chance to draw a lottery.
They are getting closer and closer to the house.
At this time, looking at the obvious bloodstains on the ground is shocking.
At this time, Gao Ying suddenly heard Cheng Ge talking to himself: "Don't be afraid... don't be afraid... I've even seen the devil, isn't it all right? It'll be fine, it'll be fine..."
Cheng Ge's voice talking to himself was originally very soft, but after all, the surrounding area was too quiet, and because of this, Gao Ying heard his words clearly.
"You said..." Gao Ying stopped, turned around, walked up to Cheng Ge, and asked, "Have you seen a devil?"
Originally, he was worried about cheating and dared not discuss this information about devil sightings with other candidates, but... now it has been proved that moderate discussions are allowed, so he wants to ask.
"Yes...a devil in a black dress and a black dress. The night before yesterday, I was staying with Ma Jun and Lin Jia, and then I saw a woman walking past the window holding a paper that looked like an exam paper..."
"Like a test paper?"
"Yes... I thought she was an examinee, so I followed her out to remind her not to go out at night. As a result... I found out that she was actually a devil!"
Obviously, Cheng Ge still has lingering fears when talking about this experience.
Gao Ying immediately asked: "What happened later? Didn't that devil kill you?"
You know, Gao Ying was almost killed by that black skirt devil! He obviously didn't speak loudly!
"No... I found out that she was a devil and ran away in fright, but... she didn't chase me down... Seeing that I hadn't come back, Ma Junlin Jia thought I was dead, and even fled the house where I lived."
"Yes," Jiao Chaoming nodded and said, "The two of them met me after they escaped."
Why
Gao Ying was puzzled, what is the black skirt devil's killing criteria
