Chapter 1611: 2

"No! I don't want to! I don't want to be scolded by my boss anymore! I don't want to work overtime anymore! I don't want to wake up with work as the only thing on my mind! This is still work!"

"Do you know how I fell asleep? A missile landed in my home! I watched my family members being killed, my hands being blown off, and my life slipping away."

"I can't wake up, I really can't wake up, I'm seriously injured and unconscious! If I wake up I'll be dead! I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!"

"Wait! I beg you! I beg you! Don't wake me up! My grandpa passed away last year! I didn't even have time to see him for the last time."

"I've always regretted it! But in my dreams, I can see him! My grandfather is still here! So I beg you not to take him away from me again!"

"My daughter is seriously ill! If she wakes up, she will have to face the pain of the disease again! The pain of chemotherapy! Really! She will die~!"

"I have a terminal illness and I am waiting to die every day! I am afraid that I will die suddenly every day! I am sorry to my parents! I am sorry to my wife!"

"You keep talking about tomorrow and the future, but there is no tomorrow for me! I am only alive in my dreams!"

Some were in pain, some were wailing, and some were even kneeling on the ground begging.

But no one lied, they just told their own reality.

Reality is not kind to them. Some of them even wake up just to wait for death.

I remember once, there was a simple question.

There were six people and one person tied to each of the two railroad tracks.

At this moment, a train is speeding towards you, and you can change the train's track by simply turning the switch at hand. So, will you save one person or six people?

This question is really meaningless now.

I think many people might say, I don’t make a choice, as long as I don’t make a choice, the deaths of these people have nothing to do with me.

Yes, removing yourself from the picture may be a good outcome.

But Bai Mo now has to make a choice.

What, then, is the essential difficulty of this problem?

Are you afraid of revenge from the family and friends of the person you killed, or of ingratitude from the person you saved?

Actually neither.

The problem itself is much closer than you think,

That is whether you can make a choice.

Can you bear the fact of killing some people to save others?

Hatred itself is not actually scary. After all, even if the world hates her, it cannot cause any harm to Bai Mo.

Bai Mo is not afraid of anyone or any possible retaliation.

Even if Bai Mo didn't say it himself, they wouldn't even know who to blame, and they wouldn't remember it after waking up.

So what is really scary is the inner level.

Countless people knelt in front of her, begging her not to destroy everything she had and not to take away her loved ones.

You know clearly that your choice will ruin countless people, kill countless people, and cause countless tragedies.

You can or must choose.

So... can you make this choice in order to continue civilization?

This is what Bai Mo faces, being a hero of civilization and a sinner of humanity.

So... Tang Yue might understand.

If she were in Bai Mo's position, she might really collapse.

Seeing so many people crying, wailing, and praying.

They didn't do anything, and they didn't do anything wrong, but I wanted to take away everything from them, even...

life.

You obviously know everything. You even understand better than they do what it means to wake up.

But you still have to do it.

Carrying the tragedy of the world, passing on the flame of civilization.

This kind of pressure can really crush a person.

but……

Bai Mo didn't.

She turned around, without stopping, walking neither hurriedly nor slowly, as if she didn't care about anything. Those people who cried and despaired because of her seemed to have never caused any ripples in their hearts.

But Tang Yue knew that under the mask, the girl must be able to hear every wail, plea, and curse.

But she couldn't stop, her back was strong and majestic.

But the mask that symbolizes the hero and the only light in the darkness has now become the last piece of the puzzle to make up for the darkness.

It took away the last hope in people's hearts and also obscured the girl's inner fragility.

Just like what I said at the beginning, it is precisely because she knows that she needs to be the bad guy.

Wow~!

As the flames dissipated, Taixu Sword God disappeared.

At some point, the sharp blade had reached the heads of the suffering people.

But in the end, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

People looked up in confusion, but heard the gray snake's voice slowly coming out.

"You see, even if their lives are threatened, they still make this choice."

Yes, even though Bai Mo has threatened them with their lives, these people still haven't given up their obsession with their beautiful dreams.

Gray Snake is right.

No one wants to give up the beauty in front of them, even if it means losing their life.

"Failed?"

Tang Yue's eyes never left the people present. She saw that they were forced to compromise, but still couldn't muster the determination to wake up.

Because everyone has a sense of luck, their inner unwillingness and luck make their will not seem so firm.

So, failed?

"Do not."

But at this moment, Bai Mo shook his head.

She had left the space and returned to the top of the cathedral.

At this time, the sound was like that of a gray snake, naturally resounding in everyone's ears.

"I was just surprised that the final choice turned out to be so... smooth."

The reason why Bai Mo remained silent was not because 2% of the people were not enough, but because it was enough, but that 2% did not come from his threat.

They really want to wake up.

It is a voluntary choice.

At the beginning, Bai Mo thought it would be difficult when she saw that everyone chose to compromise under her threat, but still had illusions and their wills were weak.

But the result was unexpected. Most of these tens of millions of people chose to wake up voluntarily, rather than being forced.

Some of this must be due to the fear of Bai Mo, which gave them a strong will.

But that's only a small part.

Bai Mo's threats were just icing on the cake after all;

So what Gray Snake said is actually correct. Under the threat of death, most people still cannot forget their beautiful dreams.

But accidents are accidents precisely because they happen beyond expectations.

Gray Snake, or most people would not have thought that there would really be millions of people who would choose to return to reality.

Because of this, Bai Mo was able to barely gather these 2% of people.
