Mage Adam

59. Despair (2)

Adam walked on the street again, and there were fewer people in the city, and those who had no physical loss like Adam were even rarer. For the whole morning, there was no one walking on the street except Adam, and they lay numb. Quietly wait for death wherever you can rest, and then become someone else's ration.

The strong men who regained a little strength in the afternoon began to forage again. This time, many people targeted Adam. After Adam pushed them back, he still did not choose to kill, but watched them kill each other with cold eyes.

At night, the exact same scene happens again, siege, mages, evil magic, and then dawn.

This reincarnation lasted six times. Adam's hunger became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more difficult to avoid the soldiers' capture.

There was an illusion in Adam's mind. If he was still not selected and died because of it next time, he would be able to escape from this illusion. Once this feeling appeared, it became stronger and stronger, so strong that he could not help believing it.

On the seventh day, the soldiers came to Adam, roughly tied his hands with ropes, and then drove him out of the city with knives and guns.

Adam was too weak, and this weakness had made him unable to resist, so he could only let the soldiers catch him.

Adam and the rest of the civilians formed a human wall outside the city. They suffered heavy casualties under the fangs and claws of the monsters and the magic. Then the magician appeared for the seventh time. This time, the ancient magic blew up the civilians together with Adam. debris.

"Did you just die like this?" Adam sighed.

But in the blink of an eye, he realized something was wrong. If he was already dead, how could he still have thoughts?

Sure enough, in the next second, the illusion shattered into fragments, and every scene in the seven days quickly reappeared in Adam's consciousness, and then reassembled again.

Adam has returned to the beginning, still the dilapidated city, still the clothes that cannot cover the body, and still the insensitive people everywhere.

The active lack of rationality is getting more and more serious. This lack makes Adam's consciousness blank. He has no concept of instinct. If one must be found, then Adam's instinct is to survive, but survival in this illusion is not It's useless, because Adam didn't have the ability to dominate his own life at all.

So another reincarnation began, nothing changed, people like beasts, soldiers like beasts, mages who were indifferent and not like humans, and death again on the seventh day.

After an unknown number of reincarnations, Adam was left with the last rationality maintained by the power of mind, which controlled him not to kill, not to eat, and not to resist.

It's not that there is any moral bottom line in Adam's heart, it's just that he feels that if he follows the wishes of the desperate monster, he may fall into a situation beyond redemption.

When the exact same ending was repeated hundreds of times, Adam suddenly realized.

Since he wanted to observe despair, and then experience despair, since he omitted the theory and directly entered the clinical stage with himself as the test subject, this behavior of maintaining reason was undoubtedly stupid, and he knew that he had to make a change.

Nothing can be obtained without paying a price. The reason why Adam took the initiative to enter the illusion was to gamble with the monster of despair and the magic of tearing the soul. The bet was his life. This is the stud he initiated on his own initiative. In a poker game where he had to go all the way to win, he had to follow the rhythm of the enemy, otherwise he would definitely lose. At this time, he still wanted to keep his hole cards, which was stupid.

Adam abandoned his sanity.

 …

"what are you going to do?"

The man crawled towards Adam crawling on the ground, with words in his mouth: "Hungry, hungry, eat, eat..."

"Stand up, I'll take you to find something to eat." Adam helped him up and said softly.

The man did not expect to hear such words,

He was helped up in a daze, and looked at Adam in a daze, "Eat? Eat!"

"Well, food." Adam nodded seriously to him, and then said loudly to the few people hiding behind the wall: "Come out, all of you, I'll take you to find food together."

This is probably the feeling of climbing high and raising one's arms. In despair, people's mood is full of numbness and hesitation, but suddenly a light appears. Even if the power of this light is small, it is enough to warm people's hearts.

Adam was followed by nearly ten skinny men, and they all walked on the street together. They followed Adam's example and lobbied everyone lying on the ground, everyone who was or was about to commit violence: "Stop, Come with us, let's go find something to eat together."

As a result, the crowd grew more and more. They were either skeptical, convinced, or full of expectations. They followed behind Adam, from the corner of the wall, from the crevice of the stone, and from every corner that could be reached out and touched. The contents are removed and gathered together to wait for distribution.

Of course some people don't believe it, they viciously stopped the persuaders and tried to kill them, but there were too many people gathered by Adam, and their ferocity could no longer scare people away, but Adam stopped the killing of the 'companions', and let everyone Trustees leave.

That group of people had no weaklings to bully, and no source of food. They began to kill each other. Some people got food, some died in the fighting, and finally the food ran out, so they had to join Adam's team.

Adam gathered all the civilians in the city and collected all the food that could be collected. He ordered everyone to cook the food and distribute it equally to everyone. As for whether the food would be mixed with something that challenged the bottom line of human morality, he had no time to decide Tube.

Night fell.

The soldiers who disappeared without a trace during the day reappeared. They didn't pay attention to the gathered crowd at all, and drove the crowd roughly, but this time, there was a voice of resistance in the crowd.

"You can't do this. We are unarmed and are no match for the monsters. You are soldiers. Why don't you protect us? Why didn't the mage personally repel the monsters?" Someone said loudly.

The man walked out of the crowd, and the many companions behind him gave him infinite courage. He said: "Soldier, I think we need to talk, we are not capable of resisting monsters, why..."

The soldier in front of him looked at him ferociously, raised the long knife in his hand, and slashed at his face with the back of the knife, "Untouchables, who allowed you to talk to a descendant of knights like this, you untouchables are usually like parasites Living in the same city, enjoying the rule and protection of the nobles, shouldn't you contribute your strength now?"

Adam walked out of the team, looked at the companions around him with compassion, and said to the soldiers: "I request to meet the Master Mage, and I request to get my due rights."

The soldiers looked at Adam in astonishment, and then burst out laughing with tears running down their cheeks: "Hahahaha, what did I hear, the untouchables want to see the noble and great mage, hahaha, you dirty and despicable bastards what?"

Adam's eyes were still pitiful, he waited silently for the soldiers to finish laughing, and wanted to continue persuading, but before he could speak, the soldier suddenly changed his face, and said coldly: "I only say once, now, immediately, go to the city Go outside, otherwise," he raised the long knife, cut open the body of the civilian who spoke at the beginning, and said cruelly: "You are all going to die."

The crowd began to commotion, they all retreated behind Adam, looked at Adam expectantly, Adam said: "No, you can't do this, we also have the right to live..."

"Kill me!"

The soldier shouted violently, raised his sword and gun, and started killing his fellow clansmen.

The civilians could not resist at all, they screamed and ran away, and then kept begging for mercy. Adam stood motionless, his eyes still pitiful, still trying to persuade the soldiers, but the soldiers hit the ground with the body of a gun: "You are Their leader? You'll regret what you've done."

Blood flowed like a river, and the soldiers showed no mercy. Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd: "Don't kill me, I am willing to go outside the city. I was deceived. It was him, and everything was his idea!" Soldiers Stop killing and watch the man pointing at Adam and screaming hoarsely.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then they all came to their senses and blamed Adam. In order to show their sanity, they rushed forward and kicked Adam on the ground, as if Adam was the devil who tempted them to fall.

The soldiers watched this scene with satisfaction, the soldier captain clapped his hands to stop the killing, and then ordered: "Take them outside the city, as for this person, stay here."

The hatred of the crowd was aroused at once, and they looked at Adam with disgust and viciousness. The soldiers' intentions were not without sinister, which put Adam on the opposite side of the people.

The soldier captain stayed at the end. He knelt down and said to Adam: "Guess what will happen to you tomorrow? I hope to see you alive in front of me tomorrow night, hahahaha!"

Adam lay down on the spot, quietly looking at the silent night sky, listening to the sound of fighting outside the city, not knowing how to describe his mood. He lay like this for a whole night, and the surviving crowd outside the city returned to the town covered in bruises. Each of them looked at Adam with hatred and gathered around him. After silence, someone picked up the gravel around him, and someone picked up Absent sleeve.

"Kill him, it is because of him that we will be abandoned by the mage and the nobles, he is a devil, kill him!" With such a call, all the survivors frantically rushed towards Adam and broke out. strength far beyond their physical strength.

Adam didn't resist, he let them attack him, let them tear his flesh and blood.

The breath of life was getting weaker and weaker, Adam was still motionless, his eyes were gone, but he was still looking at the sky.

There was a dim light in the empty eyes.

Adam's kindness is replaced by despair.
