Chapter 156: Set sail(1/2)
Zhen Jin, who was in a desperate situation, was still full of doubts.
"They don't have a core, but they do. Why? What exactly caused it?"
"What is the reason for the formation of the heart core? Is it poisoning? Is it because the injury is more serious and there is a lot of fire poison in the body? Is it luck, will? Or is it a combination of strength, luck and injury."
In addition to doubts, Zhen Jin also had many fears in his heart: "Will one day I turn into a beast like this? I fell into complete rage and madness, without any sense, even
Will all my companions kill?"
"Is my character really not affected by the core of my heart?"
As Zhen Jin continued to reflect, the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper.
"No, I'm afraid I'm deeply affected!"
"I used to be so worried and afraid of the core, but due to the situation and using it more times, I began to accept it unconsciously. Now, I have become deeply dependent on it. If I hadn't kept introspection in the middle, I'm afraid
Already obsessed with it.”
"Whenever I use my core to transform into a monster, my temperament seems to become arrogant, and I despise all life that is weaker than me from the bottom of my heart. It absorbs and transforms. I have been immersed in this power, and gradually I can't control myself."
"My behavior and my thoughts have actually gradually deviated from the path of the Templars!"
"I seem to...be...becoming...depraved?!"
"O God, my Lord, the great Holy Emperor. Please give me a response, please have mercy on me, and please save me. Here is your lost lamb..."
Zhenjin once again knelt half-kneeling on the deck, facing the direction of Shengming Continent, bowing his head in prayer.
Like all previous prayers, there was still no answer.
And the prayer this time is different from the night prayers of recent times.
Zhen Jin could no longer find any peace or comfort in her heart.
Because he was aware of his own depravity, and also realized a possibility - the reason why Emperor Shengming didn't respond to him was because he had already degenerated?
"Could it be that I am a despised fallen knight?"
"What on earth should I do?"
"Should I confess? Tell my companions that I am also a mutated person. In fact, I am also...a beast-turned-monster?"
"No, I can't do that."
As the leader, Zhen Jin is very clear that the current situation of the team is very dangerous, and collapse is likely to happen at a moment's notice. Before, there was hope of launching a new ship into the sea, but now everyone is in a desperate situation.
"Even if I have fallen and am no longer a Templar, even if I am actually a beast-turned-transformed Warcraft, I should still play the role of the leader."
They need leaders, they need Templars, they need support, they need new hope.
Even Zhenjin himself has no support and no hope.
This is the burden that leaders should bear!
Zhen Jin gradually felt out of breath.
After experiencing various hardships, his state of mind has changed many times, and it is no longer what it used to be. However, this heavy feeling that made him unable to breathe came back again.
Once again he realized his naivety.
His fear does not only come from the surrounding environment, but also for his own future, and he is not only worried about the safety of his companions.
Now...he is still afraid of himself!
"What if at some point, I completely transform into a beast, lose my mind, and hurt other people?"
"I might even kill Cang Xu, Cyanobacteria or even Zidi with my own hands. What should I do if such a thing happens?"
"Can I control all the changes?"
"In a short period of time, it seems so. It seems that I have a heart core. The core core should allow me to perfectly control mutations... right?"
There was no way for Zhenjin to skyrocket, and he couldn't even determine how the core of the heart was formed.
Perhaps, he is not far away from completely turning into a violent beast, and is not far away from being completely crazy. Maybe in a few days, it will be the next time?
"Perhaps I'm not the only one with such hidden dangers."
"There are others too! These companions who turned into beasts and died violently are just the first batch. Next, there will be a second batch, a third batch... and even the last survivors, who will become what we see on this island. One of the monsters. They will hate all outsiders and only regard themselves as a monster, with no humanity left and no memory."
This picture of the future is so cruel that it makes Zhen Jin feel cold every time he thinks about it.
He suddenly thought: "Wait a minute, could it be because of my amnesia?"
"Why did the beast-turned-companion fall into madness? Perhaps it was the intense conflict and contradiction between the inherent memory and his own life form that was unacceptable, so he became crazy."
"Why am I the only one who can control the mutation? I am the only one who has the core? Perhaps amnesia is the main factor."
"It is precisely because I lost my memory, but I persisted in my faith and the way of chivalry, that I was not violently conflicted between the two and retained my humanity to the greatest extent."
"How did the Lord of the Island turn people into beasts? Perhaps the environment he transformed was to make people lose their humanity continuously. If we stay here for a long time, our humanity will be eroded by beastliness and gradually be swallowed up. The higher the degree of dehumanization. , the deeper the animal nature becomes. In the end, it completely loses its humanity, is fully covered by the animal nature, and becomes completely crazy?”
"And every time, I stick to my principles and bottom line, it is the victory of human nature over animal nature. The accumulation of these victories has given me a core, allowing me to control mutations rationally, but others cannot. .”
"If this guess is true, then if I use my mind to absorb the beast-turned-companions, will it absorb their animal nature and restore their sanity?"
"No, my heart core absorbs blood. The companions who transformed into beasts are a mixture of Warcraft blood and human blood. I will absorb all these bloods!"
"I actually have those monster bloodlines now. But I don't have human bloodlines. Will adding these bloodlines stabilize my human nature? Will it prolong the time before I can go completely crazy?"
Thinking of this, Zhen Jin's body trembled suddenly and his face turned pale.
"Damn it!"
"What happened to me?"
"I actually want to attack my companions and humans?!"
However, another voice sounded in Zhen Jin's heart.
"Stop restricting your actions. You should be more bold. We are now in a desperate situation. If we let ourselves be restrained again, it will be too late when death finally comes! You can't do it again, can you?"
"Besides, I'm not asking you to kill living people with your own hands. It's just asking you to absorb those dead companions. They will be buried anyway. They have no other value at all and are completely used as waste!"
"Hurry up and take action. It will be too late if you don't take action. These people have just died. If you absorb the transformation now, you will gain far more than doing so later!"
"Don't forget your family. You are also thinking about other people. If it weren't for these people, you could have mutated and escaped from the island by yourself."
"It's because of them that you're here, isn't it?"
"Don't stick to unnecessary things carelessly. Think carefully, how many times have you regretted it? What did you think when you were almost killed by the Gun Scorpion? Didn't you regret it just now?"
"Do you want another tragedy to happen again?"
"This time it's the old shipwright, what about next time? Blue algae? Cang Xu? Or Zidi!?"
"No, stop talking! Stop talking!!" Zhen Jin was in so much pain that he changed from half-kneeling to kneeling on both knees. He lowered his head deeply and buried his face in his two palms.
His thoughts were so flooded that he suspected that he had fallen, and most of the self-confidence that had always supported him was gone.
He couldn't tell the difference at first.
He couldn't tell which of the thoughts he was thinking were rational advice and which were depraved temptations!
Zhenjin fell into an unprecedented wavering and chaos.
The next moment, I was really shaken.
Rumble!
Amid the huge roar, the heaven and earth shook.
Once again, the earth shook!
The sleeping survivors all screamed in terror and desperately ran out of the cabin.
The earthquake came again, and the scale was even bigger than the last time!
Right before people's eyes, the ground suddenly cracked.
As the island moved, the cracks became larger and larger, extending from the direction of the volcano, directly splitting the beach and forming an entrance to the sea.
The sea water poured in, and the waves were turbulent.
It lasted for more than twenty breaths before the earthquake slowly subsided.
A brand new river appeared in front of everyone's eyes. People looked at the spacious river and were shocked and speechless.
After a long time, the people who were still in shock gradually came to their senses.
Que Fan knelt directly on the ground and cried softly: "Can we really hold on? Can we really escape from here?"
No one could answer her question, even Zhenjin was silent.
"Even if we can persevere, I'm afraid this island won't be able to persevere for long!" Heimaran sighed.
Everyone was in despair, and there was a sense of gloom among the survivors.
"Perhaps, I have another solution here." Zi Di suddenly said.
These words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Zidi's face showed hesitation.
