Chapter 842:
It could be seen that he was angry at Ye Ji's unauthorized killing.
"Why are you angry?"
"What's wrong with these people?"
"That's right." Ye Ji said.
"Then why do it?"
"They are innocent, and I kill them. There is no necessary connection between the two. If you are in a bad mood, of course you have to find something to vent. This is the power of the strong."
"Demon. You are more evil than mother."
"As you say, you really want to save these people?"
"Yes."
"But I have a question that I don't understand. If you can answer it, you will win this game." Ye Ji threw the bait.
Immortal Six Paths frowned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.
"I won't talk about it from afar. Take the three ninja wars as an example after the first Hokage Senju has established the system of one country and one village. When the five countries launched wars recklessly, countless people died. Why didn't you condemn them at the beginning? Now you condemn me for killing these people? Are these people heavier than those who died in the Ninja World War?"
The Six Path Immortal opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything, and was silent there.
"I can't say it. It's easy for you to stop those wars, but you stand on the sidelines and let the world fall into war, leading to all kinds of tragedies in the Warring States Period. In this era, there are more innocent people who died because of the ninja war. Ten million. Is this the 'love' you have always advocated? Use the so-called understanding to establish world peace? Then you can go to Huangquan and ask if the souls of those innocent people understand what you are doing."
The corners of Ye Ji's mouth slowly rose, revealing a mocking smile.
"As a comedian on the stage, you are already a qualified clown. Your Excellency Otsutsuki Yui."
Immortal Six Paths wanted to refute Ye Ji's words, but found that she always felt that she couldn't stand any reason here, and fell into contemplation.
Could it be that... I have been... wrong all along?
No, not right.
This woman is just shaking his beliefs and can't be fooled by her words.
"Okay. Since you can't answer, then use my way to decide the attribution of life and death. Don't worry, my game is fair. Since you advocate educating the world with 'love and understanding', then I I decided to tear down all human disguise and let them see their ugliness as human beings clearly in the face of life and death. Fair enough."
Ye Ji ignored the Six Path Immortals, and once again faced the thousands of people under the cliff, her voice slightly raised, and she said the rules of the game:
"Listen to you people. I'll give you a chance to live..."
Deliberately paused, trying to create a more terrifying atmosphere.
"Survival is not easy, and life is more precious. Your belief in your desire to live has really made me feel it. In this case, I decided to let you choose for yourself. From now on, within five hours, you have to choose 200 people. Staying as hostages, one more will not work, one less will not work. After five hours, except for the two hundred hostages, the rest can leave here safely. Otherwise, everyone will be executed. Well, you can negotiate on your own. Now, the means are not limited. In five hours, I want to see the two hundred hostages."
After that, Ye Ji looked at the Six Path Immortals again and smiled: "This time, there are two choices. First, some people are willing to sacrifice themselves and stay as hostages. Second, they choose to use 'violence', Force election of two hundred hostages. Let you choose first."
In fact, there is only one choice left to the Six Path Immortals.
He guided the development of the world in a way of advocating 'love' and 'understanding'. Naturally, he hoped that some of these thousands of people would be willing to sacrifice themselves and stay as hostages.
but……
Is human nature really capable of temptation?
It's just that if he stands on the second option, then it proves that the idea he has adhered to for thousands of years is now completely denied by himself.
"I choose the first one." Immortal Six Paths looked solemn, and decided to strengthen his belief in himself and still choose to believe in the human beings in this world.
"Actually...you already have the answer, don't you? For the so-called persistence, which eventually led to thousands of deaths, is this persistence really necessary?" Ye Ji didn't quite understand the persistence of the Six Path Immortals.
Just like in this world, she doesn't believe that love exists.
Nor do they understand the so-called 'love', 'understanding' and the like.
These things are not necessary for her.
"I believe in the light of humanity at all times."
This sentence represents the position of Immortal Six Paths.
"I don't believe it. I will look at thousands of people and slowly tear off their disguise. In order to survive, they will use violent means to force others to stay. In the face of death, anyone is ugly. If you don’t want to die, you can only let others sacrifice.”
"People like you have no humanity at all. What's the point of your persistence to the end?"
"Meaning? What you said is really strange. Life has no meaning at all. Look at them, they have been dominated by 'death'. This is the ugliness of human nature. The love you insist on does not exist at all."
Ye Ji pointed at the person below.
The crowd below was silent for a while, and then many people looked at each other with strange light flashing in their eyes.
In the choice of life and death, everyone expects to live and let others make sacrifices.
This is the selfishness of human nature, and in the face of death, this selfishness will gradually expand.
Who would be willing to stay?
What are the consequences of staying?
It may be death, or life may be better than death, and no one wants to stay.
As for resistance? They don't dare, and no one knows how much explosives are buried under their feet. If they resist, everyone will die together.
"Who... is willing to stay by himself?"
someone asked quietly.
No one answered, and in front of this question, many people fell silent.
Ye Ji is undoubtedly torturing their hearts, life and death are in their own hands, whether it is her or the immortal of the Six Paths, they can only watch from the sidelines.
As time passed, the panic and depression in the crowd reached the extreme.
"I think...the old people can stay, anyway, they have a lot of days to live."
This sentence made many people glared, but more people had such thoughts in their hearts, especially young people.
Compared with the elderly, they have healthier bodies, are the head of the family, and can do more farm work.
It seems reasonable to sacrifice the old and let the young live.
But they don't know that the key to this breakout is not who should stay as hostages, but two hundred people to stand up voluntarily. Apart from this, two hundred hostages cannot be selected in any form.
There is only one way to live, but there are countless ways to die.
