Chapter 180: "This is the world you want to save"
Su Mingan leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
Even those people in his field of vision who always liked to meddle in other people’s affairs were advising him:
[It’s better not to go. This is obviously a trap for someone with this identity…]
[Judging from their uniforms, this army is a regular army. They are obviously coming for you.]
[Is it because the townspeople have collectively awakened? Or has someone leaked the news? I don’t think these people are selfless, and there are some who repay kindness with enmity.]
[Yes, it is better not to go. Run as far as possible. The tenth day is definitely crucial.]
【……】
He knew what the barrage said was right.
But from the perspective of the game process, it is impossible for something to suddenly happen in front of him for no reason just to make him escape.
The game process is linked together, and each link leads to the next one. If he chooses to skip one of the links, he may fail when entering the next process due to missing clues.
He thought about it, sighed, and moved forward.
…
The bright red blood from his heart spilled onto the snow, and the crowd was in chaos.
Panic spread quickly. Some children cried out, but their mothers covered their mouths tightly, fearing that they would be the next to be killed.
These regular army soldiers who suddenly appeared did not care about taking care of the elderly, the weak and the sick. They killed anyone they caught without any reason.
…They are looking for someone.
A god-like person who suddenly appeared in their town, awakened their abilities like a god, and opened up a bright road for them.
"Momo."
The old mayor whispered to the bearded man in the crowd, "He was at your house yesterday. You should know where he is. Find him out quickly."
Mo Mo hugged Qing Qing, with a struggle flashing in his eyes.
Qingqing's body was as cold as ice.
As the townspeople were suddenly driven out of the town early in the morning, many of them did not even put on thick clothes. Standing in the large square in the wind and snow, it was cold everywhere.
He held Qingqing in his arms, passing on his warmth bit by bit.
"I don't know either." Mo Mo said softly, "He left yesterday afternoon. It seemed that he went to the tower, but I didn't see him later."
"Besides, Grandpa Mayor." Qing Qing suddenly spoke up, looking at the old mayor with her bright eyes: "Even if we knew where he was, we shouldn't have pushed him out. He saved us yesterday..."
"Nonsense! How can the nobles be the same as us!" The mayor tapped the ground with his cane, frowning: "It's okay for these noble lords to be found, but if we can't find them, we will be dead."
A timid young man was also saying:
"Yes, Qingqing, you are still young and don't understand these things. Even if that noble did a good thing yesterday... it was just compensation from the noble. With this method, they should have benefited the mainland long ago. They just used us as test subjects. Those noble lords are not good people..."
"I've said long ago that there can't be no problems. How can such a good thing happen? They give away their abilities and then leave. It must be another power struggle that involves us..." someone nearby said.
Qingqing blinked.
She didn't understand why these elders were so excited about gaining powers yesterday and worshipped him like a god, playing drums and gongs and holding banquets, but today they treated him like an enemy and wanted to drive him out.
The attitude changed so quickly that she still hadn't reacted.
Just as she was thinking, the crowd suddenly became panicked again. Then, she felt a big hand suddenly pass through the crowd, reach out to her, and pinch her shoulder.
“Qingqing, Qingqing——”
Momo screamed, and the next moment, she felt herself being pulled out and facing a blood-stained spear.
“The countdown begins.”
The armored soldier said.
The spear tips were shining coldly. Qing Qing looked at the needle-like cold light and the townspeople who were afraid of angering the soldiers. There was no trace of fear on their faces.
When she was suddenly chosen and was about to be killed suddenly, she suddenly laughed.
"Big brother is right." She smiled happily, her eyes like mirrors, reflecting the panicked and confused expressions of the group of people:
"...Uncle and aunt, your behavior is indeed ridiculous enough."
Obviously everyone has the ability.
Obviously, they are not really powerless, some hunters are even as skilled as soldiers. Even her father, Mo Mo, is a person with great abilities.
But because they were not the ones being killed, because the flesh was cut by a blunt knife, they could pray that they would not be the next one, and that someone would really come to save them. So they could not even gather together to resist. Even if someone stood up, it was just an isolated case and would soon be killed as an example to others.
…Even though they have awakened their abilities and have power in their hands, civilians are still civilians. They are not soldiers, they have no courage, and they have not received training in real combat. Even if such people see blood, they will only retreat - because they have long been accustomed to having their living space squeezed, and then retreat silently.
Her words caused a commotion, and then more people looked at her as if she were an alien.
In that look, in addition to the complex expressions of envy and jealousy, there was also an added layer of fear.
Mo Mo, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't bear it anymore. When he saw Qing Qing so close to the spear, the energy in his body burst out instantly and he rushed directly towards the group of soldiers surrounding them.
