Chapter 410 The Essence of the Game
Su Ming didn't know how he managed to reveal the secret. He only knew that after he finished speaking, the whole place was silent, without any discussion. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes, with shock on their faces.
Su Ming said everything that needed to be said.
He told everyone the temptation of becoming a monster, the number of people who could survive in the end, and other detailed information without leaving out anything.
Although this was a temporary decision, Su Ming knew that he was right to do so, or rather... that dream made Su Ming wake up.
In the crowd, Bai Chifei looked at Su Ming with fire almost spitting out of his eyes. He was furious in his heart. He could never have imagined that Su Ming would actually make this secret public.
Once Su Ming reveals this secret, wouldn't it be like telling everyone: The only way you can get out alive is to turn into a monster?
How can they safely reduce their population then?
"Is this guy...crazy?" Bai Chifei said gritting his teeth.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also had a blank expression on her face, staring blankly at Su Ming who was standing on the highest step.
"Why would he do this? Isn't he going to screen? ... Is he giving up?"
Su Ming looked at the heads gathered below, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I've decided! I'm going to challenge the master of this world!
If you are willing to come with me as a human, then let’s do it together! If you want to compete for the last thirteen spots and survive even if you have to turn into a monster, then come and challenge me!
Anytime! Anywhere! I will accept the challenge! "
After saying that, Su Ming looked at the old butler beside him and ordered: "Elton, distribute all the remaining food to everyone. There is only this much left."
"Yes." The old butler bowed respectfully. His gloomy heart suddenly became clear after Su Ming's speech.
Even he himself did not understand why this happened. Clearly every sentence and every word Su Ming announced was proving that they were in a desperate situation and there was no hope of a reversal, but he felt that the insecurity he had felt before had dissipated.
Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was because he had been following the master all the time. Although the master always looked calm, rational and wise, the pressure the master was under and the hesitation he occasionally showed made him, as a butler, deeply aware of the hopelessness of the current situation.
But just now, the feeling of hesitation and confusion in the old man completely disappeared, as if he had already identified the only path he could take.
Su Ming looked at the desperate people below, but a smile appeared on his face. Suddenly, he heard Elton beside him speak.
"It's really strange. Humans are really strange creatures. Sometimes confusion is more terrifying than the unknown. Although I know we are on a dead end, I am not afraid at all... Don't you agree?"
Su Ming turned to look at Elton in surprise and found that Elton was looking at him with a smile on his face. Perhaps it was a tacit understanding, Su Ming instantly knew what Elton was referring to.
"Yes, confusion is more terrible than the unknown. Sometimes, only by discarding some things can we see more important things!"
After saying that, Su Ming turned around and walked into the main house. Cao Fengling saw Su Ming walk into the house and quickened her pace to follow him. She had to ask Su Ming clearly!
The heavy wooden door closed behind him. Su Ming climbed up the stairs step by step, holding onto the handrail. Cao Fengling chased after him, asking, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Mad?"
Su Ming stopped, turned around, lowered his head, and looked at Cao Fengling.
"You think I'm doing something wrong?"
Cao Fengling frowned, stared at Su Ming warily, and asked in a deep voice: "Su Ming... could it be that he has been bewitched by the voice in his head?"
"Then what do you think is the right thing to do?" Su Ming asked back.
“…”
Cao Fengling pursed her lips tightly, unable to answer. How could she possibly know the answer to such a question? If she knew, she would have done the right thing long ago .
"Let me tell you!" Su Ming stood on a high place, opened his arms to Cao Fengling, his eyes sparkling, as if emitting light, "The right thing to do... is to show the devil the courage of human beings!"
Su Ming suddenly raised his head, looked towards the void above, and shouted loudly: "Just watch! I will prove to you! Humans are not such weak creatures ! Whether in desperate situations or prosperous situations, humans are equally great!"
Cao Fengling stood there staring at Su Ming blankly, and couldn't help but smile: "You are really crazy."
"Cao Fengling, I want to kill the next game referee who comes here. Are you willing to help me?" Su Ming asked with a smile.
"Tsk! You bastard, you always push these troubles onto me!"
…
“The bigger the goal, the easier it is to lose sight of the road ahead, so no matter what happens in the future, you must keep your eyes clear.
I once had students who had the same ambitions as you, but in the end, because of some sad things, they entered a dead end of thinking and defined the world with their own presumptuous logic, and the end result was to bring disaster to others.
You can't be like him, you have to look around at all times.
Remember that the world is changing, and it is impossible to try to interpret the world with one set of thinking methods.”
Liu Lingshan's words echoed in Su Ming's ears. He had recalled these words countless times after entering the devil's land, but it was not until the dream this morning that he suddenly realized the true meaning of these words.
The more ambitious the goal, the easier it is for people to lose sight of the road ahead...Su Ming had always thought that his goal of striving for the survival of thirteen normal people was to see the road ahead clearly, but now he realized that at that time he was actually staring at the distant goal and was unwilling to see the road ahead clearly.
He has always been concerned about making choices, has always been measuring the criteria for making choices, has always been thinking with his own ideas, and has always been trying to get the fairest and best possible results.
He thought about it over and over again, seemingly jumping out of the framework of secular standards, trying to judge everyone's value based on whether they can save more people in the future. But in fact , this is just another form of the law of the jungle... Violent people want to use force to determine who lives and who dies, and smart people use strategies to determine who lives and who dies. What about people like him?
Is it fair for him to be like this?
Su Ming had always known that this was unfair, but he thought it was the best solution, but now, he knew he was wrong.
The devil, which exists nowhere, constantly throws bait of fratricide to their group, stirs up the most selfish desires in people's hearts, and lures everyone into depravity.
Just because some people want to survive, should those who cannot resist temptation and fall be regarded as enemies by them as a matter of course?
