"Are you a human? Or an animal?"
People live not for happiness, not for money, not even for desire.
In Li Fugui's eyes, people live because of faith.
In the dark ages, Li Fugui did many things he had to do to survive, including killing people, stealing food, stealing, and eating food that was simply unpalatable.
Li Fugui told himself many times that he had no choice but to do these things because of survival. In essence, he was still a person who belonged to society.
This belief supported Li Fugui as he lingered in the darkness, allowing him to choose the latter without hesitation between cannibalism and excrement, because Li Fugui believed from the beginning to the end that he was still a living person, not an animal.
From being frightened at the beginning to being indifferent later, Li Fugui has gradually numbed himself, like a butcher who is used to slaughtering, killing 11,000 animals without any emotion.
Suddenly Li Fugui realized that no matter how he deceived himself or paralyzed himself, he was getting farther and farther away from human beings in what he did and even mentally.
Now he can almost be described as an animal in human skin.
"Are you a human? Or an animal?"
The voice rang in his ears again, like the last straw that broke the mule's back, breaking down Li Fugui's riddled psychological defenses.
Salty liquid flowed across the corners of his eyes. Li Fugui held the pistol with all his strength and aimed at the woman with blurred eyes.
"Please, go die!"
Li Fugui struggled to hold on, trying his best not to pull the trigger in his hand.
This is an unanswerable multiple-choice question, just like a question in the Sunshine Age. If your wife and mother fall into the water, who will you save first?
On one side is the person you love most, and on the other side is the person closest to you. No matter how you choose, the person you lose will always be the person you don’t want to lose.
Li Fugui had never wished or prayed for someone to die as he did now.
Only when that person dies will Li Fugui not pull the trigger, and Li Fugui will not kill himself as a human being, and all dangers will disappear with the death of that person.
As long as that woman dies before Li Fugui's floor, everything will be solved.
However, the woman didn't know what Li Fugui was thinking, nor did she know how many people in the building wanted her to die quickly. She was still climbing just to survive.
The bug followed closely, like a wild animal playing with its prey, taking its time but not straying away at all.
One after another, Chongzi and the woman were about to arrive at Li Fugui's floor.
On the next floor below Li Fugui's floor, the insect seemed to be tired of the hunter game and stretched out its giant pincers to grab the woman.
The woman's face turned pale, and she screamed crazily as she looked at the giant pincers reaching towards her.
The woman is finally going to die, and with everyone's expectations, she will finally have a doomed but tragic ending.
Regarding the woman's impending death, Li Fugui closed his eyes in pain, but there was no secret joy in his heart that he should have for the rest of his life.
Suddenly, Li Fugui felt a heat on his back, as if something was burning, burning his skin.
Li Fugui opened his eyes and saw that the scroll originally contained in his clothes was floating in the air. The ravines outlined on the scroll were glowing with a faint blue light.
Under the dim light of the scroll, Li Fugui felt a familiar yet unfamiliar strangeness arise in his body.
Li Fugui vaguely felt that the "self" he once tried to catch was reflected without a trace under the illumination of the scroll like a ghost in the sun.
Li Fugui unconsciously grabbed the "self" in his heart. The "self" that would disappear immediately at this moment in the past was easily held in his hands.
That "self" dissipated the moment it was touched, but it was different from disappearing without a trace. Instead, it spread throughout Li Fugui's body like the broken lenses of the Wanhua Mirror.
In an instant, Li Fugui felt that his consciousness was connected to a huge world, with countless blue lines rolling and surging.
There was an extremely abrupt light group in this world. Li Fugui felt a sense of fear in front of it, feeling as small as an ant in front of a mountain.
As if he noticed Li Fugui, the light group surged, and a vast force came over him like a flood.
Li Fugui's consciousness couldn't hold on for even a second, and he was squeezed out of this huge space by this force.
The moment his consciousness returned to his body, Li Fugui heard a sharp and piercing cry.
Under the horrified gaze of the woman, the previously terrifying and arrogant bug actually retracted its giant pincers reaching towards her, quickly retreated downstairs and fled into the darkness in the distance faster than it could kill a big man.
In just a few seconds, the insect's huge body was already hidden in the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
The woman's mind had obviously not yet reacted to the scene just now, her jaw was open and her expression was dull.
It wasn't until a stream of warm liquid floated out in the wind that the woman reacted and cried bitterly for the rest of her life.
With the help of the residents on that floor, the woman returned to the building safely, and the sound of wailing came from that room.
Li Fugui closed the curtains again and realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The scroll that was originally floating in the air fell to the ground at this moment, and the blue light it emitted just now disappeared without a trace, becoming as silent as a mortal thing.
When he took off his clothes, the clothes on his back had been burned through, leaving a big hole.
After touching his back, Li Fugui felt no tingling sensation. The scroll only burned through his clothes but did not hurt his skin.
Putting away the scroll on the ground, Li Fugui was even more sure that the scroll in his hand was an extremely precious treasure.
If the scroll hadn't suddenly emitted a blue light to scare away the bugs, the woman would have been killed on the spot, and the bugs would have rushed into the building to start another massacre after killing the woman.
In other words, without everyone knowing, the scroll had saved the lives of the entire building residents and Li Fugui.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Li Fugui to talk about this matter to the outside world. Li Fugui understands this principle very well, not to mention that the scroll is an artifact that can save lives in the dark!
Looking at the silent ravine on the scroll, Li Fugui suddenly had a whim and tried to practice according to his previous feelings.
As if he was born with it, Li Fugui felt a strange force pulling from all over his body, and finally turned into an extremely weak transparent blue gas and appeared in his hand.
Through this feeling, Li Fugui discovered that his previous cultivation and attempts were basically all wrong, and there were considerable discrepancies in their essence.
If the scroll hadn't suddenly awakened, I might not have been able to touch even the slightest threshold of cultivation in my life. It's no wonder that Li Fugui spent so long doing useless work.
The blue gas appeared for less than a second before suddenly collapsing, followed by a sense of weakness, and Li Fugui's legs weakened and he fell to the ground.
However, Li Fugui didn't feel any sense of frustration. On the contrary, Li Fugui suddenly felt excited, as if he had a breath in his chest and couldn't help but want to shout out.
"Those who can!"
Even though Li Fugui didn't show any abilities, even though this wisp of blue gas didn't seem to have any power, Li Fugui understood that he had changed from a useless ordinary person to a real person with abilities!
Ability person, a synonym for strength.
Even though the threats to people with awakened abilities and those with weapons are the same, they are essentially different.
Because abilities belong to oneself and exist in real terms, rather than relying on the external force of weapons, they can be used anywhere, not to mention that the ability of the ability user can be improved by relying on one's own efforts.
In his previous life, Li Fugui heard about an extremely powerful person in the Dark Ages who could kill ten insects with just a long red sword! The power of a sword is unstoppable!
A single bug can block pistol bullets and slaughter them at will. If ten bugs are dispatched collectively, even using tanks and artillery may not pose a threat to them!
The excitement passed and sleepiness soon came over. Li Fugui, who had not had a good rest for several days and nights, couldn't help but close his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
