The cemetery in the south is a place shrouded in black fog. To reach this cemetery, one must pass through the Heart of Well Four.
As the evil creatures around continued to die, the air was soon filled with a strong fishy smell.
However, during these days, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu experienced various ways of dying, including being killed by some disgusting slime lake faces.
So the two of them didn't feel much about the smell.
On the way, Wujiu saw that Baiwu was unusually depressed and said:
"History is like this. Heroes die. Maybe one second he was thinking about saving the world, and the next second he slipped and died in the toilet."
Bai Wu frowned:
"Captain, these words are not what a person like you should say."
Wujiu said:
"The hooligans at the bottom of society all aspire to become heroes, because heroes are powerful enough. But the history I know is like this, heroes rarely die in a spectacular way."
Walking on the ruins and the huge, evil corpses, Wujiu stopped and said seriously:
"If you feel regretful and unwilling, then always remember those who died and live on in accordance with their will."
Bai Wu smiled and felt much better:
"That sounds like what the captain said."
The war was over. Although we had experienced the heavy event of killing Tao Xingzhi, we felt relieved after the rain.
Bai Wu quickly cheered up, but Wu Jiu became serious:
"These days, I have gained a lot of strength. Not from fighting, but from Li You."
Wanxiang Jiexing, Bai Wu also envied this imba ability.
Although the power at the origin level is very strong, distortion is something that will always have great uncertainties no matter how well it is controlled.
And the consumption is too high.
You can't just use your ultimate skill when you encounter a battle. If possible, Bai Wu would also like to have more fighting methods.
Of course, Wujiu's goal is not Versailles. He said seriously:
"This means that Li has experienced a lot of battles again. Is it possible that... the scene you saw in the revelation is happening now?"
Bai Wu's expression became serious:
"You mean, the monsters on the farm started attacking the tower?"
"Yes."
Wujiu was worried, but he could only sense Li You when Li You sensed him.
When Li cut off his perception again, they could no longer communicate with each other.
Bai Wu nodded:
“It’s not impossible.”
"Aren't you worried?" Wujiu looked at Baiwu.
Bai Wu observed the captain and was sure that the captain must be feeling some anxiety and guilt.
The Tower was a place he cared deeply about, even though it had once been very dilapidated.
But that was Wujiu's original intention. Bai Wu knew that if the tower was destroyed... he must have hoped that he could stay by the tower.
"I am naturally worried, but what I am about to say may be cruel."
Bai Wu walked in front of Wujiu, then turned around and looked at Wujiu.
During this period, the two of them lived and died together more than a thousand times, so naturally there were no secrets in their hearts anymore.
"what do you want to say?"
"We are not God, and there is no God in this world. Maybe we can save many people, but we cannot save everyone."
"I know… "
Bai Wu shook his head and said:
"Lin Wurou, Shang Xiaoyi, Wang Shi, Qin Lin... these former comrades may be fighting bloody battles at this moment, or they may have been swallowed up and torn apart by the tide of evil."
When these familiar names were mentioned, Wujiu's expression changed.
"I say this not because I don't care about them, but because I have experienced revelation and realized one thing: perhaps the things we try our best to avoid are ultimately unavoidable."
"What's the meaning"
Bai Wu turned around and saw that the captain was still in a stable mood. He said as he walked:
"It literally means that when we make certain choices, we also give up certain choices.
If we blame ourselves for the choices we gave up, we will never be able to make choices again.”
"The revelation may not be completely correct, but at least it points us in the right direction. We are heading to the tower now. Perhaps what we can do is to make a few of our subordinates die... a little later. But it won't change anything."
"I don't know if the tower has been attacked, but I know that day will come."
"When the distortion concentration reaches a certain level and the tower disappears again, Farmer Jingyi will definitely attack the tower frantically."
"If I were to be in the same era as Jingyi and fight together for seven hundred years, I might be able to avoid this scene."
"But Jing Yi and I are not from the same starting line. I believe that this opponent that Bai Yuan mentioned as worthy of fear must have accomplished more than Jing Liu in the past seven hundred years."
"If we can prevent the tower from being destroyed with only what we have now... I believe that the one who gave me the revelation would not use such a covert method."
“I also believe... Bai Yuan and the first generation, the enemies they are facing will not be stopped so easily by us. We need to have more trump cards.”
Wujiu looked at Bai Wu's back, feeling a little strange:
"So if you were given a choice, even if the tower was attacked, even if your former companions were facing death, you would still choose to come to Denglin City?"
Bai Wu did not respond to this sentence, but the decisiveness in his steps made Wu Jiu know the answer.
Wujiu said:
"Does this make you feel calm?"
Bai Wu turned around again:
"I'm not saying this to calm myself down, I'm saying this to you, Captain. I'm very grateful that you came to Denglin City alone for me."
"When I learned that the captain would have a heavy future and joined the farm, I vowed to change this future."
"It's great that friends who are worth my life are also willing to risk their lives for me."
"But the captain and I are two different kinds of people. To me, the trolley problem is the simplest problem in the world. Between saving the minority and saving the majority, I can easily make the choice, but you are different, captain."
Bai Wu continued:
"Captain, you are the kind of person who will blame yourself for giving up another choice no matter what choice you make."
Wujiu didn't like this, but he also knew that Baiwu was right.
"Only after we get the seven deadly sins will we be truly qualified to fight against the people on the farm. Maybe we showed up too late, and the situation will be disastrous. But it's better than a complete failure."
The two fell into silence.
Only after reaching the cemetery did Wujiu say:
"I can't do what you do. If I knew in advance that Wu Rou and the others would be in danger, I might not have come to Denglin City."
Bai Wu thought that the captain probably couldn't get around this problem, but the captain's next words warmed his heart:
"I can't make the trade-off between human life and human life, but I believe that the choice you give must be the best choice."
Bai Wu nodded:
"I am not a businessman who can weigh the pros and cons of human life. If possible, I will make sure that the captain never has to make a difficult decision. But I also hope that the captain... can understand that if someone dies one day, it is not your responsibility."
After the words fell, the two men put away their serious expressions, smiled at each other, and did not talk about this topic anymore.
The two's eyes soon fell on the most conspicuous tombstone in the cemetery.
It's not the appearance of the tombstone that is eye-catching, but its location, especially the aura emitted by the two weapons, which makes it impossible for Wujiu and Baiwu to ignore it.
There are no words engraved on the tombstone, but Bai Wu can still observe the information on the tombstone through his eyes.
A tombstone is used to commemorate the two close friends of a madman, one whose name he knew and the other whose name he didn't.
Of course, the madman is not so crazy now.
The one who leads the madman is naturally Jing Si, the one whose name is known is Professor Tao, and the one whose name is not known is the first generation.
Wujiu knew that the next identification work would have to be handed over to Baiwu.
He said nothing and waited patiently.
Bai Wu was a little dazed. In Wujiu's opinion, he might have seen some moving news.
Indeed, when Bai Wu saw the information on this tombstone, he suddenly thought of the saying “It’s lonely at the top.”
Jing Si, with his powerful fighting ability that is difficult to control, is a monster in everyone's eyes.
Every scientist is afraid of such a monster.
But until his death, Professor Tao believed that Jing Si was kind by nature.
In the end, although the first generation was seriously injured by Jing Si, he also forgave Jing Si.
Bai Wu gradually understood what Professor Tao said before he died: Jing Si was not the savior.
"This tombstone was erected by Jing Si for Professor Tao and the first generation."
Bai Wu began to narrate:
"Jing Si's power is too strong. If he goes berserk, a catastrophe will befall him. He will go crazy from time to time. When he goes crazy, no one can control him."
"His power has also cost Jingsi some things. He has no friends. Professor Tao and the First Generation are the only ones who consider him a friend."
"The first generation and Professor Tao, one looks wild and the other looks serious. But they are actually the same kind of people."
Wujiu asked:
"who?"
"He who never wavered, never changed, and never looked back, faced Jing Si, and the first generation remained the same until his death, never regretting his choice."
"It's the same with Professor Tao. The scientists in the Denglin Science and Technology Building deserve respect. It's not shameful that they were defeated by reality, but reality did not defeat Professor Tao. When he died, Professor Tao had only calmness in his eyes."
"These two people are truly great... It can be said that they both died for Jing Si."
Bai Wu had a little doubt on his face:
"They are the closest thing to a savior, although they are working in different directions."
"Jing Si... was really deceived by a prophecy. He waited for the savior, but killed the savior with his own hands again and again."
"Professor Tao told me before his death that Jing Si was not the savior. Now I understand that both the first generation and Professor Tao had such expectations for Jing Si."
Wujiu understood:
"It's just that Professor Tao finally... saw it clearly?"
"Well, it's not Professor Tao's fault. When I learned that Jing Si's power might be able to shake the monsters in the tower, I also thought that maybe Jing Si was the savior."
Bai Wu slowly shook his head and said:
"But now I am sure that he is just a monster with power. Maybe he has a kind heart, but that's all. I will no longer have any expectations of him."
Wujiu nodded and said:
"Let's change the subject and talk about these two weapons."
Bai Wu nodded and began to explain the properties of the two weapons based on the notes.
"These are two genuine items that are almost impossible to destroy."
"This knight's sword represents pride among the seven deadly sins, and this dagger represents greed among the seven deadly sins."
The hilt of the arrogant sword has a pattern of the sun and the moon. The short sword is greedy, and the blade seems to be covered with a layer of scales.
The real Seven Deadly Sins.
One is Jing Si’s weapon, and the other is the weapon of the first generation.
When Jing Si created the fake Seven Sins weapon, his reference was the real Seven Sins weapon, Pride.
The dagger Greed was found by the first generation through revelation after the seven-day catastrophe in Baichuan City.
When the first generation left Jingsi, Professor Tao was also dragged into the depths of the earth by Jingsi's Heart. After he disappeared without a trace, Jingsi erected a tombstone for his best friend with a stone tablet and two weapons.
Bai Wu was not surprised by the lengthy description of the Eye of Prell, nor was he surprised by the powerful powers of the two weapons.
What surprised him was... that these two weapons were made of the same material as the pieces of the Doomsday puzzle.
As I am about to discuss the performance of the two weapons, as a qualified weapon consultant, I must tell you that the biggest difference between the real thing and the imitation is the material -
Their materials are Doomsday puzzle pieces. You can think of the two weapons as a collection of pieces.
A single doomsday fragment already possesses powerful capabilities, and when the fragments are aggregated, their capabilities are naturally even stronger.
But the introduction of the Eye of Prell is quite simple—
A greedy person demands without limit, and his greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
Each attack has a chance to absorb some of the opponent's strength. These strengths can be the opponent's basic combat values or some special abilities.
It is worth mentioning that everyone has a tolerance limit. Once it exceeds a certain limit, excessive intake will bring backlash.
It's like a python devouring a stag and eventually being strangled to death by its horns.
Therefore, the ability gained through greed needs to be "digested", otherwise it will bring disaster to oneself.
The ability of greed is very similar to the Dharmakaya. When Bai Wu saw the ability of this weapon, he felt the power of the weapon.
It’s pretty much a top ten sequence.
The introduction of another weapon, Pride, is also very special—
The arrogant person is self-willed and isolated.
After reading the detailed description, Bai Wu understood the special features of this weapon.
Extreme arrogance makes it impossible for people to cooperate with others, and once used, they will find themselves isolated and helpless.
When the realm of arrogance is unfolded, all non-self-attack methods will bring benefits to the opponent.
But all of your own attack effects will be greatly enhanced.
That is to say, if arrogance is used, then when a friend deals with an enemy, it will actually bring a benefit to the enemy.
But if you have no friends and are helpless, arrogance will bring a huge increase in power.
The two Seven Sins weapons have distinct characteristics. Bai Wu is very curious about what abilities laziness, lust, gluttony, and rage are.
Bai Wu didn't think too much about the thing he couldn't figure out. He was ready to give the dagger to Wujiu, but Wujiu refused.
“When you find the real weapon of jealousy, you can give me the imitation you have, but before that, you can just keep these weapons.
The scattered seven deadly sins may not be so scary. Although these abilities sound very powerful, they are not enough to save the world. Maybe they still have other secrets.
Until this secret is uncovered, you will be the only one to carry these weapons."
Bai Wu did not want to be overly polite to Wu Jiu and agreed. However, he had not yet thought of how to use three weapons at the same time.
Wujiu said:
"Next, we should go back to the tower. We have been here for more than 20 days. We need to at least find out what happened outside."
