Chapter 35 Hell is empty, the devil is in the world
Dong Xie looked at the rather muscular figure of the man in the gray mask, but he had some doubts about his words.
If he was really hungry for that long, what would he do?
Dong Xie pulled up a chair, sat down, and said to the man in the gray mask: "Tell us about the current situation on the ground."
"Um……"
The man in the gray mask held the piece of compressed biscuit in his hand and said nervously: "You, can you help me? Most of the people are dead now. If you can help me and help me reach the finish line and complete the race,
When I put on the red mask, I will definitely thank you very much. You should know that as long as I put on the red mask, I can obtain the mining rights of minerals, and the land I live on can become my private property.
It’s all the power given to the red mask by the code written by the King of the Golden Mask!”
Dong Xie also discovered this early in Reeve's report that he read.
When people were first inside the black wall, as long as the color of the mask was one class higher, they could give any order without a bottom line. As long as the other party disobeyed, they would become a Splitter. However, if a person wearing a mask of a higher class issued a command,
Opposite orders, regardless of the order in which the orders are issued, will invalidate the orders of the lower-level masks. Once the masks can issue orders without a bottom line, war will inevitably result.
Therefore, in order to ensure the order of society within the wall to the greatest extent, the King of the Golden Mask established a code. According to the provisions of the code, the obligations and powers of each mask class were formulated in detail, and the bottom line for the masks to issue orders was also defined.
The code established by the King of the Golden Mask is his order. Even though the King of the Golden Mask no longer exists, and even the golden mask has been lost outside the wall, the code he established is still an absolute order. This order is aimed at
All masked classes, even those born after the King of the Golden Mask disappeared outside the wall, must abide by this order. This is the absolute authority of the Golden Mask.
Therefore, even if a commoner wears a mask, the land he owns will immediately become privately owned. As Dong Xie, who understands China's modern history, naturally knows very well that in such a farming society where about 80% of the population is agricultural,
What does it mean to own private land? For people with gray and black masks, owning their own land is simply an extremely distant dream. But as long as you have the red mask, you can own your own land!
"Please, help me..."
Dong Xie glanced at Mu Ziyi, and then said: "Where is the so-called end point?"
"Exit N4 of Karen Division. As long as I get there, as long as I get there among the first ten people, I can at least get a red mask!"
When he mentioned the "red mask", he simply fell into a high degree of madness, and his body even started to dance.
"Sit down!" Mu Ziyi pointed the gun at him and said, "If you dare to move again, you should know the consequences."
Mu Ziyi was always ready to shoot him if he dared to move. The reason why she didn't use the black mask to give orders to scare him was because she was worried that it would attract the alien spirit of the Face Melter.
"You... don't do this..."
"I'm sorry, the most we can do is provide you with a little food and water." Dong Xie refused to give in on this issue, "As corpse exterminators, we cannot intervene in the competition."
"But……"
"Nothing but."
Dong Xie felt very uneasy when he saw this guy's strong body. Even if he had a gun in his hand, he couldn't relax at all. As a corpse exorcist, if he wanted to go out, he must wear a high-level mask. Even if he wore a high-level mask, he could
To intimidate the other party, if that guy wants to get the mask for his family, even if he becomes a Splinter and wants to rob it, the consequences will be disastrous.
In this bloody mission, the threat level of humans and evil spirits is actually very great. Even in Dong Xie's view, humans are much more terrifying than the supernatural spirits.
Then, Dong Xie said: "The alien spirit has left. You can go out. We can't keep you any longer. If you stay here for a long time, someone may surpass you and reach the finish line."
The gray masked man sighed and walked to the door.
"Are you sure the alien spirit is gone?"
"We are sure." Mu Ziyi said, "Whether you believe it or not, if you don't leave, I will have to shoot."
The man in the gray mask opened the door a crack and looked outside. Of course, this didn't make much sense, and he couldn't see the evil spirit at all.
At this moment, he suddenly rushed over, grabbed Dong Xie, and clamped his neck with one hand!
"Don't move, or I'll break his neck immediately!"
Mu Ziyi immediately pointed her gun at the man, but he blocked Dong Xie in front of her!
"With this strength...have you really not eaten for a long time?" Dong Xie was very surprised.
At this time, Mu Ziyi took a step forward and said, "You just said you were lying for your family, right?"
"You..." The muscular man was a little surprised: "How do you know?"
"Only ten people can win this competition, so is it too unreasonable that you are the only one in your family to participate? The more people participate, the greater the hope of getting the mask." When Mu Ziyi held the gun, she was also very excited.
Nervous, the gray masked man completely blocked Dong Xie in front of him. She was not confident that she would not hurt Dong Xie when she fired. At this time, she felt a little regretful. She should have asked the gray masked man to take off his mask immediately when he came in.
, but the matter of killing Reeve made her feel a little tormented. In the past, she killed people because of a battle of wits with the residents who were hostile to her in the apartment, but Reeve and she actually had no grievances, and killing him was actually a crime.
It is helpless.
If you can't see his face under the mask, you can't kill him. And now it's impossible for him to take off the mask.
The foreign spirits have no desire to hunt the white mask. With just a gray mask, it may be difficult to attract the foreign spirits in a short period of time.
"My family is all gone." The man in the gray mask said with a grim smile: "Our family has no food for a long time. Even if we want to rob it, it is useless. There will be people in black masks guarding all the shops."
Speaking of this, he even fell into madness.
"In the end, I had no choice. I could only discuss it with our neighbors. We would send our respective families to each other's house to be guests on an agreed date."
He didn't say anything else.
However, Mu Ziyi understood it instantly.
"You...you..."
"Such things also happen in urban areas. Our village is one of the poorest villages and towns within the wall, and people starve to death and freeze to death every day! Finally, I survived until the snowfall, and by eating snow, I finally survived until James was elected.
Hold this competition! I want to live, I must live!"
Looking at his strong figure, both Dong Xie and Mu Ziyi understood why.
"Don't the people in the government... give any relief?" Dong Xie asked this question in a trembling voice.
"Relief? Impossible. Everyone knows that the food stored by the government cannot allow everyone inside the wall to survive this winter. They just want us to die, so how can they help us! If we go to marches and riots, they will
Either send out higher-level masked people to give orders, or use machine guns to fire! They just need to ensure that all corpses can remove their masks in time after death!"
Then, he said in a ferocious tone: "I want to live, I want to get the red mask! In this way, I can have my own land, and as long as I pledge the land, I can get enough food to survive this winter!"
I can, I can live! Do you know how painful hunger is? Do you know how terrifying a corpse that has been tortured to death by hunger is?"
Neither Dong Xie nor Mu Ziyi could imagine it.
Since they were born, they have never experienced the despair and pain of extreme hunger. So much so that it can completely dehumanize people and turn them into demons worse than beasts.
The real evil spirit is not outside the black wall, but inside it!
"You guys help me reach the finish line! I can promise you anything!" The gray masked man grabbed Dong Xie's neck, "Otherwise, I will break his neck right away!"
