NFBE Chapter 677 Desire and Despair
Chapter 677 Desire and Despair
The dormant consciousness gradually awakens.
In a trance.
Cheng Xiaoyu opened his eyes, but what he saw was not death, but a return to the beginning of the altar.
He was dragged and leaned against the side of the altar, his broken right leg was bleeding, and the pain from the broken part told him that all this was real.
Seong Xiao-Woo's chest heaved as he gasped violently, "What's going on...was everything just now fake? But why did it seem so real?"
Fear and doubt were intertwined in his heart.
It was not until the stone statues in the hall began to move again and heard the heavy footsteps that he came to his senses.
Look at everything in front of you.
He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly shouted to the people around him who were already engulfed by fear, "Don't be afraid! As long as you are inside the altar, you will be fine!
The blue flames outside the altar are the countdown, and as for those stone statues, they cannot move as long as they are within our sight!"
After hearing the reminder, several people tried to look at the stone statues in front of them, and those stone statues were indeed frozen in place.
Several people also got a moment to breathe.
However, as the captain, Ma Fu did not have time to think about it and immediately asked, "When all the blue flames are extinguished, the three commandments will all come true.
Then can we leave here?"
And several people present also looked in the direction of the sound.
Facing the questions and the gazes of several people.
Cheng Xiaoyu was analyzing the current situation. At this moment, his broken right leg became the biggest obstacle to his survival.
Perhaps all he could do now was to deceive.
But when the words came to my lips, they felt like a thorn in my throat.
His eyes were fixed on Guanyue's face which was crying because of fear, and he was ultimately unable to utter those lies.
"If I'm not mistaken, the door will be opened next to test our faith, but it could also be a trap that will lead to certain death."
The voice just fell.
The closed door was then opened.
The hope of life appeared in front of several people again, and everything happened again, even if that hope was false.
But it still couldn't stop the few people. After all, instead of staying and waiting for the countdown to end, the door might close again.
They will all die here, too.
But if you leave now, there is still a glimmer of hope!
under this temptation.
The vast majority of people cannot stand the test.
When someone takes the first step, others will follow suit. In just a moment, only Cheng Xiaoyu and the other two are left on the altar.
Faced with this unique desperate situation.
He finally lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at the two of them, but he still said, "Uncle Ma, please take Guanyue away from here."
As the words fell, Guanyue was also taken away by Mabuchi, leaving him alone to face this inevitable death.
Everything is back to square one again.
Cheng Xiaoyu also laughed at himself in his heart.
But at this moment.
A low voice echoed in his ears, "I gave you a second choice, but the result is still the same?"
Listening to the whispers in his ears, Seong Xiao-Woo nodded and immediately looked up at his surroundings with a serious expression.
On the altar in front of him, dark mist suddenly gathered out of thin air and turned into a ball of mist. A pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him.
Looking at the fog that came into view, Cheng Xiaoyu clenched the sharp blade in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "You are the one who gave me a second chance? But why did you do this?"
Can face questioning.
Ajuramaru ignored it, but asked calmly, "Who knows, but why didn't you trick them into staying?
If you trick them into walking out of the magic circle before the door opens, they will surely die. If you wait until the time is up, you might be able to survive.
So why didn't you deceive them?"
These words hit home.
Cheng Xiaoyu also fell into a brief silence, and he was struggling with this issue in his heart.
If he could trick a few people into staying, he might be able to survive, but there was also a possibility that everyone would die here together.
And he couldn't guarantee it.
Those people will definitely not leave. After all, human nature cannot stand the test. After those people leave, we will face such a situation.
The only thing they could do was let Ma Fu take Guan Yue away.
After all, he cast the last vote.
At the same time, he also had a final hope in his heart, that is, maybe there is still a third chance...
Ajuramaru, who sensed his inner thoughts, said in a deep voice through the black fog, "The desire to live is so strong.
But in the end, is it because of others that you put yourself in this desperate situation and gamble on that slim third chance?
It is a strong and complex desire.”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the time and space around him that seemed to be frozen, and asked cautiously facing the fog.
"So there's a third chance?"
Even now, he still hasn't given up hope of living, after all, he has a mother in the hospital and a sister who is about to go to college.
Everyone needs him, he must not die here!
In this regard.
Ajuromaru under the fog raised his mouth slightly and said temptingly, "I can give you a third chance, and even give you strength to heal your broken leg.
But the price is that you have to kill those people with your own hands, so what will be your choice? Don't forget that your family is still waiting for you. "
While talking.
There is a ghostly aura behind him.
She transformed into the figure of his mother. She should have been lying unconscious on the hospital bed, but she sat up and said, "Son, what are you waiting for?
Are you planning to leave me to die?"
Even his sister was condensed again by the ghost power beside her mother, and she was crying and shouting with tears pouring down her face.
"Brother, do you really want to let mother die? If that's the case, then I won't go to college and become a hunter to earn money to support mother!"
The words of the two, even if they were false.
But it still pierced Cheng Xiaoyu's heart all the time, but he was still struggling in his heart.
Until the few people who had escaped earlier gathered on one side again, the middle-aged uncle sneered and said, "Sorry, it's thanks to you that we can survive."
"Although you are useless in normal times, I didn't expect that we still have to rely on you at the critical moment for us to survive." The young man behind followed closely.
The two seemed to have escaped death, expressing false gratitude in a hypocritical manner.
Listening to the words that kept coming to his ears, Cheng Xiaoyu's inner conflict of desires also reached its peak at this moment.
On the one hand, by killing others you can survive and gain power to give your family a better life, but the other option may only be death.
But all of this may be false.
The desires were intertwined and suffocated him.
Ajuramaru was hiding under the fog, overlooking everything in front of him. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice.
"Seong Xiao-Woo, what is your choice?"
Faced with this problem again.
Seong Xiao-Woo also got the answer in his heart, and gave his response with a firm look in his eyes, "Sorry, forget about the third chance.
My family would never allow me to do such a thing..."
As the words fell.
The surrounding space is fragmented like a mirror, revealing the reality behind it.
That is where the sky and the sea meet.
Surrounded by this beautiful world, Cheng Xiaoyu, who was slumped on the ground, was unable to react for a while until he saw the fog in front of him.
Suddenly it disintegrated, revealing a beautiful figure hidden inside. Under her long purple hair was a beautiful face.
She was wearing a purple and white evening dress that fluttered in the wind, and her red eyes, as gorgeous as gems, were staring straight at me.
And Ajuramaru was also at this time.
Raise your right hand and slightly raise the corners of your mouth.
"Despite such strong desires, you stayed true to your heart until the end. Seong Xiao-Woo, I like you very much.
So I am willing to sign a contract with you, but if you waver even for a moment in the future, I will take over your body without hesitation."
But looking at everything in front of him that seemed like a dream, Cheng Xiaoyu came back to his senses and still found it hard to accept, "Sign a contract? Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Ajuramaru, and I am the sword in your hand!" Ajuramaru responded directly without any nonsense.
"The knife?"
Seong Xiao-Woo's expression changed slightly, especially when he heard the name Ajuramaru, which reminded him of the well-known god in mythology.
But now he didn't want to think too much, and immediately responded in a deep voice, "I have no choice now, I agree to this contract!"
This is the end.
Ajuramaru also released his ghost power, surrounding his body while making that sweet voice, "The contract is done, my name is Ajuramaru.
If you want power, call upon this name!
I will be your strength and help you realize your desires!"
The words fell.
Cheng Xiaoyu's consciousness also reached its limit.
at the same time.
In the hall outside, Cheng Xiaoyu's broken body was still lying on the altar, with the huge sword hanging in front of him.
But also at this time.
His eyes, which had been closed in despair, opened at this moment, revealing red eyes as gorgeous as gems!
