Although he only took a casual look at the church yesterday, Su Mingan remembered the names of all the students.
…
[“Only studying and taking exams can change your future…If I could become a leader, I would definitely enact laws that would make ordinary people happy.”]
…
This is what Tao Meng said when she took the oath yesterday. Su Mingan still remembers her expression when she said this. She was a girl with a loud voice, and her clear voice echoed throughout the church. She studied very hard, and even when she was bandaged, she was always buried in her books.
She was clearly about to take the college entrance examination, but she jumped down today.
Jiang Xiaoshan looked at the face of the corpse and staggered a few steps with a pale face.
She opened her mouth and called out softly in disbelief:
"Momo...?"
Why do you want to commit suicide?
You can take the college entrance examination tomorrow, right? You can change your fate tomorrow, right?
How many times have you told me at night that you wanted to study hard and get good grades so that you could change the fate of people like your parents... But why did you choose to jump at the first light, on the eve of the college entrance examination?
It's just a little bit away, isn't it?
"Why did this girl commit suicide?" The soldiers lowered their heads and took notes.
"According to the data files, it seems that she failed the review because her grandfather once violated the death arrangement of the gods. Therefore, there is a stain on her resume and she will not be able to take the exam for the rest of her life." said another soldier.
"Is it that serious? It's just that they can't take exams. These kids are just too fragile-minded. They commit suicide at the slightest problem. They have no sense of responsibility at all," said the soldier.
They stuffed her into a cloth bag like a piece of pork.
No one cared about the struggle she had gone through in her heart, and no one thought about how she would live in the future if she didn't even have the chance to take the exam.
Su Mingan stared at the blood-stained cloth bag, and he suddenly understood -
Why did Tao Meng die of starvation at the age of 22?
——Because since she was born, she has never had the opportunity to take an exam to change her fate.
The gods can never be wrong.
He is so cruel that he gives you a little hope, making you think victory will come tomorrow. But he suddenly tells you that your death has already predicted your whole life. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't break your "fate".
No matter how hard you study, how many times you get up at five in the morning to memorize, how many times you work hard to copy notes, your chance to struggle - has been taken away from you from the very beginning.
In the end, Tao Meng chose a bloody resistance.
This was the last and only time in her life that she disobeyed the arrangement of the gods. At the age of eighteen, she jumped down and disobeyed the miserable fate of being starved to death at the age of twenty-two.
If she dies prematurely, the death ending will be invalid. If she gives up struggling prematurely, the gods will no longer be able to watch her suffering.
…This was the last roar in her short life.
She didn't even tell anyone, nor did she cry or make a scene. She just quietly left the church alone in the morning without complaining to anyone. If the students hadn't come out in droves to look for her, her death would not have been seen by any of her companions.
"There's another witness here!" A soldier noticed Su Ming'an next to him and said, "Be careful not to spread negative emotions. Make him laugh."
Several soldiers saw Su Mingan. One soldier walked towards Su Mingan and patted him on the shoulder: "Young man, don't be so sad, smile quickly."
Su Mingan looked at the bloodstained steel bars and broken organs on the ground. He raised his head slightly and hugged the rag doll that had turned red.
Blood dripped down the back of his hand, which felt burning hot.
The soldier stretched out his hands, pulled at the corners of his mouth, and revealed a forced smile, like a clown's funny mask:
"Come, learn from me, laugh, laugh. Child, laugh."
[This world has gone crazy.] Su Mingan thought.
"Laugh out loud, young man! Don't have that expression, you'll bring trouble to the front line, understand? Don't be sad, don't spread negative emotions, laugh!" The smiles on the soldiers' faces began to twist: "Let me tell you, there was a very funny thing a few days ago. When we were dealing with a corpse, the corpse was not wearing any underwear. Hahahaha..."
They laughed loudly, and it was obvious that the laughter was meant to divert attention, but it seemed to have become their true nature.
【Smile happily even in the face of tragedy. 】
The bloodstains on the ground were extremely eye-catching.
【Laugh madly even in the face of death. 】
Deep red blood seemed to seep out of the cloth bag, and a few black hairs leaked out from the tied opening, like swaying water plants.
Through the tied mouth, Tao Meng's face could be vaguely seen. Her eyes were still open, wide open, bloodshot, and there was even a hint of doubt in her eyes, as if she was wondering why everything she saw was like this.
【Even when facing the gods, smile humbly. 】
The refugees in the distance slowly raised their heads, with nothing in their eyes.
…
[The survival of the race...has transformed people into lunatics.]
…
"Haha, hahaha, laugh, boy, you——"
"Is it enough to just laugh?" Su Mingan said.
"Huh?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Of course. Isn't it all we can do to laugh?"
——Of course.
——Isn’t it all we can do to laugh?
"Do you have to laugh because someone died?" Su Mingan said.
"Yes, that's why we laugh so hard because we see dead bodies," said the soldier.
