Miao Zhen was going to take a look near the Butuan tribe.
The cloth ball will not catch fire for no reason. Whether it is set on fire by someone in the world or someone from outside, it is an important clue.
After Miao Zhen told his family about his thoughts, Brother Miao immediately locked him up.
Miao Zhen knew they had good intentions, but he had to go and see.
This world is not suitable for human survival. We can only find out the truth about the world and find a way to leave this place.
Just when Miao Zhen was worried, two heads poked in from the window.
It's Qu Chenglin and Jiang Mingshu.
They recently hooked up and became friends, and they seemed to be on good terms.
"Are you locked up?" Jiang Mingshu opened the window and stared with big eyes, "Why is your brother locking you up?"
"I want to go to Butuan to see the situation."
Jiang Mingshu opened her mouth, "You want to commit suicide? Why are you running so far away? Linlin lent him the rope."
Qu Chenglin had a cold face and hid the rope tightly.
He didn't say anything, and the two went into the house. Jiang Mingshu came to Miao Zhen and talked to him.
"You can't lose your mind just because your father is dead."
"You have to be stronger, after all, your mother is not dead yet."
"Are you unhappy? That's right. It's all caused by that plague. People are dying and they won't be happy."
"Hey, how long do you think we can live? Will we all die in a flash?"
Qu Chenglin, who had been silent all this time, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "In less than half a month, it will be the day of divine punishment."
Jiang Mingshu's voice disappeared instantly, and she said casually, "That is my glorious mission, and I feel very happy."
Although Jiang Mingshu's words were not very pleasant, Miao Zhen would not care about her life or death just because of such a small reason.
The system felt that the timing was good, and was just about to take advantage of the opportunity to throw out the sayings of the Holy Mother Bitch. When it remembered that Miao Zhen claimed to have understood the essence of the Holy Mother Bitch, it decided to give Miao Zhen a chance to show himself.
Miao Zhen didn't think too much. He simply felt that it was wrong to sacrifice living people to gods.
"Are you willing to sacrifice to the gods?" Miao Zhen asked.
Jiang Mingshu thought for a while, tilted her head and smiled: "How could you not want to? That's a good thing."
"Good thing?"
"As long as we worship the gods, no one in the world will starve." Jiang Mingshu said.
Qu Chenglin lowered his head and fiddled with the rope. He accidentally got his hand entangled and was trying to think of a way to break free.
Miao Zhen looked at Jiang Mingshu's smiling face and stretched out his fingers to press the corners of her mouth, "We are all your friends. If you are unhappy, you don't have to force yourself to smile."
Jiang Mingshu was stunned for a moment, and after Miao Zhen took away her finger, she raised the corner of her mouth again, "It is a good thing to worship gods and bring happiness to the world. Of course you will be happy when you do good things."
"What about you?" Miao Zhen looked softly, "Is it also a good thing for you?"
Jiang Mingshu pursed her lips tightly. She was silent for a long time and shook her head: "It must be a good thing to be a great hero in the world."
Miao Zhen didn't say anything else, he just leaned over and hugged her, patting her back like a child.
Jiang Mingshu felt a little aggrieved, she curled her lips and sniffed, "Everyone wants me to sacrifice to the gods, and they all say that is a good thing. Every ten years someone comes out, but it's my turn."
She gasped for breath and said, "I think, I think this is good. Tie me to a sacred pillar and burn me to death. There will be no ashes left, and then the world will have enough food and clothing for ten years."
Miao Zhen patted her, "If you feel wronged, just cry."
Before he finished speaking, crying sounded in his ears.
"I'm only fifteen years old. I haven't lived enough yet. I don't want to die! But I have to die. I should consider the people of the world. I can't be so selfish."
Qu Chenglin finally untied the rope and was rubbing his wrists. He sneered when he heard this, "Even if you die, it's only a matter of time whether the food is enough or not. You died in vain."
Jiang Mingshu cried louder.
Miao Zhen turned to look at him. Qu Chenglin was staring at the two slits and shivered involuntarily.
Seeing that she was honest, Miao Zhen turned his attention to the heroine again.
Jiang Mingshu was brainwashed by the shrine some time ago, and she was forced to wash out some thoughts of self-sacrifice, but her desire to survive is still strong.
She wiped her tears and said, "I was the third one to offer sacrifices. I heard that everyone was rushing to sacrifice to the gods before. I am so reluctant, am I particularly selfish?"
Just as Miao Zhen was about to speak, Qu Chenglin leaned over and said quietly: "Human beings are inherently selfish and will do anything to survive. You don't have to put in any effort, just burn you to death and you will get food. Do you think you are sacrificing to the gods?" I will thank you. In fact, I am secretly enjoying it. It's just that your mother really can't bear to let you go, and others are eager for you to sacrifice yourself to the gods."
Jiang Mingshu, who had just stopped crying, started crying again.
Qu Chenglin thrust the rope into her hand, and Jiang Mingshu cried while holding the rope.
Miao Zhen waited patiently for her to finish crying, wiped away her tears, and said seriously: "You are not selfish, you just want to live, and how can it be right to sacrifice human beings to gods?"
"But this is for the world." Jiang Mingshu choked up.
Miao Zhen said softly, "The value of life cannot be measured by quantity. If one person is killed to save the world because there are fewer people in the world, then what if the gods want more sacrifices? Should they kill two people or three people?" People. Ten people and a hundred people are less than the people in the world. Will we really kill a hundred people to save the world?"
Jiang Mingshu looked at him blankly, "Killing a hundred people is too cruel."
"Then killing you, wouldn't it be cruel?" Miao Zhen asked.
Jiang Mingshu cried out aggrievedly, "Of course it's cruel!"
Qu Chenglin thought about what Miao Zhen said and disagreed a little.
Miao Zhen looked at him, "Let me explain to you this way, replace Jiang Mingshu with the baby from Sister Li's family in the west of the tribe. Now if you kill the baby, you can save the tribe. Do you want to kill her?"
Qu Chenglin's expression looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Our direction was wrong from the beginning. What we have to do is to think of solutions instead of thinking about exchanging human lives for food. I was poisoned and the toxins flowed to my toes. I cut off my toes in order to survive. Because The toes were nothing compared to my life. The poison flowed down the bloodstream to my thigh, and I cut off one of my legs, because people can live without a leg, but if the poison is not eradicated, it will spread all over sooner or later. My whole body, everything I did before was a meaningless sacrifice."
Miao Zhen lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "We are now like the people who were poisoned. If we can't find the antidote, we can only wait for death on the spot. All we do is linger. If one person is sacrificed, If it can really save all people, then I am willing to sacrifice it to God."
Everyone at the shrine was urging Jiang Mingshu to worship the gods, but even her mother just held her and cried, unable to think of any reason to object to the sacrifice.
This was the first time someone told her that it was wrong to sacrifice to gods and that it was wrong to sacrifice her.
Qu Chenglin listened quietly. Although he didn't understand what antidote and poison meant, he understood the truth.
His eyes slowly lit up, "The first thing we have to do is find a way to get food ourselves."
He paused, "But there is no way to produce food in this world. We can only rely on the God of the Sky to give us food."
"But how do you know that this is what the God of the Sky wants? Has anyone heard the oracle? Has anyone seen the God himself?" Miao Zhen said: "Why don't we leave here and find a place truly suitable for human survival."
Qu Chenglin was stunned, "Leave the world?"
"Since this world cannot support life, why don't we leave?"
Jiang Mingshu said hesitantly: "But is there a world outside this world?"
"How will you know if you don't look? It's better than staying here and waiting to die." Miao Zhen stretched out his hand and smiled gently.
"Let's look for a new world together, so we won't have to face the problem of sacrificing one person to save the world. You won't have to sacrifice to the gods."
Jiang Mingshu looked at his smiling face in trance.
The system was calculating the points, and looked at him and said, [Okay, he has hair, but he smiles like a monk. 】
'Five donors, the little monk is originally a monk. '
[Okay, okay, the next world will let you return to your profession. 】
Jiang Mingshu was stunned by Miao Zhen's smile. When she came to her senses, Miao Zhen's hand had already been touched by Qu Chenglin.
Qu Chenglin rubbed Miao Zhen's hand, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Since you begged me, I will reluctantly accompany you."
Miao Zhen's original intention was to correct their erroneous thinking and let the male protagonist transform his ideal of destroying the world into finding a new world.
However, the system beep did not send out the main task completion message.
This shows that although Qu Chenglin held his hand, he still had no confidence in the new world he mentioned.
It's just that the search for a new world is put at the forefront of the plan and used as a backup plan.
Jiang Mingshu firmly believed in Miao Zhen's words, maybe because her own interests were involved, and she was very concerned about it.
There was still half a month left, and she thought that maybe there was a way to find a new world.
Even if the new world is not found, find a way to explain to the shrine that worshiping the gods is a fearless sacrifice, and you may not have to die.
Seeing the hope of survival, Jiang Mingshu became energetic again.
She felt that Miao Zhen and Qu Chenglin had been friends with her for half their lives.
At her suggestion, the three people became sworn brothers with different surnames.
Because I don't have a knife, I don't know the allusion of blood-based alliance.
Jiang Mingshu thought about it, rubbed the charcoal sticks, and put a black mark on each of their wrists.
She pointed to the black mark, "This is the symbol of our friendship!"
After she finished speaking, she felt that her momentum was not enough. She thought hard for a while and shouted loudly: "Our relationship is as precious as this stick of charcoal. It will break as soon as you break it and fall to dust as soon as you wipe it!"
Miao Zhen:?
Qu Chenglin:?
System: [I am totally stupid. 】
Jiang Mingshu took a deep breath and didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Qu Chenglin rubbed the marks on his wrist in disgust, but he didn't expect it to actually rub off.
He was stunned, looked around, and secretly took the charcoal bar to add another one to himself.
In this world, the male protagonist is sixteen and the female protagonist is fifteen, a period of liveliness, youth and energy.
It would be okay if only Qu Chenglin was released. He is just a very frustrated middle school boy.
Jiang Mingshu is also a simple and passionate girl.
But when Jiang Mingshu is placed next to Qu Chenglin, a reaction will occur. The two people's ideas will collide, and eventually a new breed will be born, a passionate young man full of action.
It was not Miao Zhen's turn to intervene in what happened next, and the male and female protagonists made noisy plans.
They have to go to the nearest Central Shrine first, where there are many records about the God of the Sky. They want to understand what the God is.
Then go to the edge of the world and find the tribe of wise men.
Those who live on the edge of the world may know what lies beyond the end of the world.
"I want to go to Butuan first." Miao Zhen raised his hand.
The two said in unison: "No, it's too dangerous over there!"
The system looked at the Holy Mother Bitch and sighed, picked up Miao Zhen from the map and threatened, "What I want is the Holy Mother Bitch. If you use the Holy Mother's Quotes again, I will throw it into the recycling bin." 】
The villain waved the little white flag crazily.
Miao Zhen: '...little monk, you know how to work hard. '
