Chapter 2 The choice of life
Canon was completely immersed in his memories, darkness was still dark, but there seemed to be some changes.
He remembered the album that his father showed him when he was seven years old, which contained pictures of ancient sites from all over the world. Little Canon was completely attracted by the mysterious world. He was deeply obsessed with it, and in the next few decades, he went to every place in the album when he was seven years old.
He remembered his beloved dog, Hani, and accompanied him through many places, and was his most loyal partner. In the end, in order to save himself, he died in the mouth of a python in the jungle of South America. Canon suddenly felt sad in his heart that had not been sad for a long time.
He thought of the only girl he loved when he was young, but because he was obsessed with archaeology, he did not come together in the end. He thought of the Kowloon Pan discovered from Chinese archaeology, who regarded it as life, but was bombed to pieces in a war and Kanon's home.
Canon's memories one by one, and at some point, his heart became extremely soft and his eyes seemed to become wet. He was wondering whether his life was a wonderful life or whether he had any regrets. Perhaps the only regret in his heart at this time was that he failed to investigate the Egyptian pyramids, one of the seven holy places, and he lost the opportunity to save mankind.
No, no. Karnon is far from that great. He just feels that human beings should seek ways to survive through a kind of effort. Not only is Karnon's life, but also the living of all mankind. Only in this way can human civilization be passed on. Only in this way can a group of new young people who love archaeological science appear after endless years. They uphold the belief in their hearts to explore the history at this moment and restore the truth of history.
However, at this moment, no one knows whether they have a chance to go out alive. Perhaps the next lighted flashlight is theirs, and the next unlucky guy who laughs wildly is themselves.
Only one person's heart is full of hope. This person is Canon. Canon is the only professional archaeologist among everyone here. His research and understanding of the ancient Egyptian pyramids even exceeded his own understanding. It is precisely based on this that the upper class of L asked Canon to lead a team to investigate a holy land. Moreover, Canon discovered many secrets through more than five years of investigation and solved many questions in his heart. If he could be allowed to go out alive, even if these discoveries were published in the public, Canon could be recorded in history. However, in the years before the arrival of the doomsday, who would care about his discoveries? Even he himself didn't care so much.
Such a strange and unpredictable thing happened in this underground pyramid, which did not make Canon feel anything unexpected. Instead, it made him firm his thoughts. The power to save the earth and mankind must exist in this mysterious underground pyramid. The fanaticism in his heart gradually turned into helplessness, because with Kaon's knowledge and everyone's wisdom, he could not find a breakthrough point at all. He would never succeed if he had no idea how to start. He discovered the power but could not find the source of power. This way of missing out on success is the real reason why Kaon's powerlessness.
Waiting for death, the helplessness of the remaining eight people is a portrayal of the remaining eight people.
I don't know how long it has passed
Canon sat up suddenly and his eyes swept around. Although it was dark, Canon had been doing archaeological work underground for many years, and even in a dark environment, he could see the general outline and appearance. He looked at his friends lying around him one by one. No one stood up. I don’t know if he was asleep or just closed his eyes to rest, or he opened his eyes and looked forward to the arrival of God’s gift in the endless darkness.
The reason why Canon sat up so fiercely was because he had just heard someone talking to him, clearly and clearly, even in this deadly quiet environment. Canon thought it was his companions talking, but after getting up and looking around, he found that the companions around him had no reaction, neither they said nor heard it. Then, if it weren't for his hallucinations, it would be that a new person appeared in the pyramid except for his own people. Or it wasn't a human or a ghost. But Canon no longer cared about whether the thing he was talking was a human or a ghost. Since there was a new discovery, there would be new hope. This is the old guy's always believed and had never disappointed him for decades.
Karnon waited quietly, keeping his mind clear, waiting for the sound just now to appear again, waiting.
In such a space, the passage of time flows into nothingness, and there is no way to feel the concept of time. Just as Canon was waiting quietly, he did not let down his waiting. The voice appeared in his ears for the second time. He didn't know what strange language it was, and he didn't know at all. But he just understood the meaning of it. It was a very weird thing, but it didn't seem so funny when it actually encountered it. The meaning of that voice was very clear.
A contemptuous "Hey, old man"
Canon looked around again in shock. The voice did not disappear again, but it really existed in Canon's heart. Yes, it was in his heart. The voice that Canon heard seemed to be in his ears, but his friends around him did not hear it. He only heard it. The inexplicable language he knew, but he really clearly understood the meaning. All of this made Canon know that the voice was from his "heart". As for who did it and how it was done, Canon was too lazy to think about it.
Canon was stunned for a moment and replied with a vague saying "Yeah", which seemed a little angry at the title of old man.
After Canon finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, because, as he had just said, there was no sound at all, but his own "heart" seemed to have heard this sentence, and he understood this sentence, which was a very weird feeling, and Old Canon thought to himself.
Sure enough, the voice in the "heart" started to speak again. Although it was still a strange language, it really did not affect communication. Old Canon could really understand. This time he said, "Old man, I know who you are, who you are, and what organization you belong to, and what purpose of your trip. Canon also make an exchange?" Canon was full of curiosity when he heard it. He knew his own voice so well, but what was the sound, Canon himself must not know. Just when Canon hadn't digested the words just now, the voice spoke again, "Let's have an exchange, okay?"
There was a hurried smell in the voice, but Canon didn't care about it. He heard the tempting tone of the voice. Canon responded: "What exchange, who are you, who are you??" The voice seemed to smile and did not answer Canon's question. After a while, the voice said: "You don't need to know who I am. I just want to make an exchange, and this exchange can achieve the purpose of your trip." Canon's heart beat suddenly, and the exchange that the voice said could actually achieve his goal. However, Canon was cautious and asked again: "Do you really know the purpose of our trip?"
The voice said disdainfully: "Of course, I just want to save this broken planet, it's more than enough."
Canon was really excited this time, with endless disappointment, and finally waited for a glimmer of hope. Of course, old Canon had to hold on tightly. He asked tremblingly: "So, what do I have? Can exchange such a great thing?" He said disdainfully: "It's not because you have something, but because I've been here for too long and too boring. I just want to see some interesting things. If you can do it, I can get you that thing."
Canon finally felt relieved. He was worried that he could not afford to exchange at all, but he forgot about the environment he was in and all kinds of strange things. He was now completely blinded by joy, just thinking about replacing the power to save the earth. So he asked boldly: "What do I need to do?"
"It's very simple, you just need to kill all these people," the voice said with a smile.
Canon's original joy instantly solidified. He wished he had heard it wrong, but it was impossible. His voice clearly told himself that he wanted to kill the close comrades who had the same ideal as him and had fought with him for more than five years. Before he could save humanity, he had to kill a few living lives. Canon fell into the inner demon. On one side, he had hopes and dreams to save humanity, but on the other side, he was killing his partner's selfish desires, killing people first and then saving people. Is this right? Canon couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He was in chaos.
The voice did not make another sound, as if he was interested in watching the battle between Canon and the heavenly beings.
After a while, Canon asked weakly: "Why should I believe what you said? What if I kill them, what should you do if you can't give me the method and strength to save the earth?" After saying this, Canon seemed to have grown old twenty years old.
The voice quickly said: "Old guy, you don't need to believe me. Without me, you will still die here and still have no way to go out to save the earth. But I appeared and I gave you one ten thousand hope, but the hope in despair, even if it is only one ten thousand, is still the most precious hope, it depends on whether you dare to bet on this one ten thousand hope."
The voice said, Karnon understood everything, but understanding did not mean that he could make a choice. Karnon was a person who loved life. It was a good explanation for his ability to choose to join L. However, letting a person who loved life so much kill seven people was to save the humans in the whole world. No one knew what kind of torment Karnon was experiencing at this moment.
He suddenly remembered many young people. His mentors said to him that life is the noblest and the most solemn. No one can defile the power of life for any reason. If humans realize the power of life, then perhaps any disaster may become unremarkable. He suddenly realized that the choice of life is life. You can make more people live through you, but you cannot let anyone die because of the stereotype. But at this moment, he is the Bible in Canon's heart and his redemption.
Canon finally mustered up the courage and said, "I refuse!"
The voice made a strange scream as if incredible, and then said, "Reject? Why did you refuse? You don't go to save your humanity? Do you want to refuse the hope of living for all humanity?"
But Canon smiled, "I can't refuse their hope of living for anyone, and it's because of this that I want to refuse."
After hearing the voice, he laughed wildly, and then said to Canon, "You have seven humans who have experienced the same choice as you. They all chose to listen to me, so I refused to let them live." After hearing this, Canon felt deeply saddened. These people who gathered together for the same dreams have been working together for more than five years, but died here because of one choice. Maybe their choice is not wrong. They die in a small number of people in exchange for hope for more people to survive. The only thing wrong is that they do not have such power. No one has it.
Canon did not resent those people. Their crazy laugh before their death might be their best ridicule for themselves. Canon had no regrets, closed his eyes and lay on the ground again. His heart became so relaxed for the first time.
But the voice did not let Canon go, "Old man, you have realized the choice of life, and I can give you the power to save mankind." There is no frivolity in the voice, no longer contempt, but only respect and seriousness.
Canon closed his eyes, as if he knew things would go like this, then his lips raised and said, "Okay."
