Chapter 72 The Curse
Chapter 72 Curse
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit silent, and both parties looked around in silence.
It wasn't until Rourou came skipping from outside that the silence was interrupted.
"dad!"
"Hey, big brother, you are back!"
Rourou said with a smile when she saw Su Sheng and others.
Su Sheng nodded, he was about to say something.
The drunk man suddenly said: "Rourou, you should be having lunch at Aunt Su's house at this time, why are you back so early?"
Rourou responded in a soft voice: "I'm here to ask daddy to have dinner with you."
The drunk man shook his head and said softly: "There are still things to do here. You go ahead and I'll come back later."
"Oh!" Rourou nodded, looked at Su Sheng and the others again, and simply blinked.
Even if the cursed lost people reach the outside world, will they be recognized by people? Are they still human beings like this?
At first, they were very motivated, thinking that they could correctly find the exit from the maze with the passion of themselves and others.
For the contestants, this may be just a game world.
The drunk man looked at Su Sheng and others in front of him and said slowly: "When we reach the age of knowing our fate, we will degenerate into terrible orcs, lose their minds and run wild, lose all humanity, and can only get lost in the maze."
The drunk man was extremely bitter: "The moment we pushed open the stone door, the entire maze began to shake violently, and the walls of the maze closest to us began to collapse."
"I found that alcohol can anesthetize my nerves and delay my decline. I have been drinking in the past few years just to watch Rourou grow up. She has lost her mother. I don't want her to grow up again at such a young age.
Losing Dad."
"Unlike you, we lost ones were born in this maze, and there is a curse belonging to this maze in our bodies."
Go and stay.
Not to mention, Su Sheng also has Qi and Blood Pills to replenish his energy.
Having said this, the drunk man laughed at himself.
For so many years, the lost people have been hugging each other for warmth. In their hearts, everyone is part of this big family.
"We have to admit the fact that opening the exit of the maze is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it is closely connected with the lives of countless people."
It's so painful and so dark!
The despair and fear in their hearts made them lose their initial hope.
"Any one of us can do it just by leaving the maze alone, but if this condition is based on the collapse of the maze and the lives of everyone else, we...can't do it!"
When the people they cherish and love pass away one after another, this maze will fall into eternal loneliness and darkness, with no way out.
In front of the exit, they must make a difficult choice between their own freedom and the lives of others.
"It was within these ten seconds that the most despairing thing happened to us!"
Su Sheng smiled back: "We're not hungry."
"The maze of choices, everything requires choices."
Now, they are just living numbly in this maze.
"Aunt Su made vegetable soup for lunch, and we can eat it together."
But maybe it's also because of Rourou's arrival.
Hearing this, the drunk man nodded.
Generally, it doesn't hurt to go without food for two or three days.
"The orcs you encountered are actually what we, the Lost Ones, looked like after they fell."
Xiao Ruge stepped forward to check on the drunk man.
The drunk man responded: "I am the oldest among the lost people. Originally, I should have degenerated into an orc, but I can't worry about Rourou."
At this time, Xiao Ruge said: "Can you let me see your arm?"
As soon as these words came out, Su Sheng frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
As practitioners, Su Sheng and others actually have a relatively large appetite.
"Don't you want to ask us what we eat?"
From time to time, Xiao Ruge frowned: "You should have passed the age of knowing your fate. Why haven't you degenerated into an orc yet?"
Just imagining that kind of scene made Su Sheng feel suffocated.
"But then we discovered that the exit of the maze was a wall made entirely of boulders. It weighed no less than a thousand kilograms, and it was difficult to push it open with human power!"
"Even if we try our best to open that door, it can only last for ten seconds."
Su Sheng stared at this scene with his eyes widened and his pupils constricted.
They have made many choices in the past, so this is not a difficult problem for them in the maze of choices.
Just listen to him say in a low voice: "This maze is actually an eternal curse for us lost people."
But relatively speaking, the ability to resist hunger is also very strong!
The next second, the drunk man pulled up his sleeves and exposed his arms.
"We can't get out at all!"
"But……"
After saying this, the drunkards closed their eyes, their hearts filled with despair.
Without freedom, hope, and dreams, life has no more meaning for them!
The lost people now are just living with the last trace of warmth among everyone.
The drunkard continued: "Once upon a time, we thought about whether escaping from this maze would solve the curse."
Dead or Alive.
"For us lost people, we also longed for true freedom and wanted to find the exit out of the maze."
If it weren't for Rourou, he would have committed suicide long ago.
"Such a picture frightens all of us."
Speaking of his daughter, the drunk man's eyes were full of reluctance and love.
"Brother, have you eaten?"
Suddenly, the scene became a little quiet again.
Suddenly, an arm covered with black hair appeared in everyone's sight.
"Before we become orcs and lose our minds, most of us will commit suicide and use our bodies as fertilizer to grow food."
Su Sheng rubbed her little head: "There will be a chance."
The age of knowing your destiny is fifty years old.
As soon as these words came out, Su Sheng and others were shocked.
Hearing Su Sheng's words, Rourou said in despair: "Okay, I originally wanted to hear more about the outside affairs from eldest brother."
Right or wrong, life or death, leaving or staying, are all in your mind, your thoughts determine everything here!
Su Sheng always thought that this sentence was an introduction to the decision maze, meant for him and other contestants.
"Even if we become monsters, will there still be a place for us in the outside world?"
The little girl is innocent and extremely curious about the outside world.
"Three years ago, we explored the maze for the last time and finally found its exit. For a short period of time, we were so surprised that we couldn't help ourselves. We cried with joy, thinking that we could usher in a new hope!"
Under Xiao Ruge's observation, the drunkard was already in his fifties.
Immediately afterwards, the little girl left.
But this is not a true portrayal of the lost people over the years!
Right and wrong.
"But, we lost!"
The matter has come to this, everything has been explained, and he has nothing to hide.
But for the lost, this is their real world!
Finally, the drunk man relented.
In my ears, I heard the faint voice of a drunkard.
Years of drinking make a drunkard's body worse than before, or in other words, he looks miserable.
But in order to watch his daughter live a good life, he persisted until now with great will.
This is the only paternal love that he, as a father, can give to his daughter.
It's his only weakness.
