Chapter 624 The Disappearing People

The secret keepers got off the carriage one after another, holding a variety of cold weapons in their hands. These weapons have been modified and seem to be able to undergo two transformations. There are rough-looking meat saws, regular axes, and gentlemanly demeanor. Sword and staff.

Each secret keeper is equipped with different firearms. Four of them are equipped with rifles, and more people choose shotguns. Only Yinghuode and Daniel use pistols.

Chen Ke also got down from the carriage and glanced around with his spiritual vision to confirm the situation.

The secret keeper planned to establish a temporary position in the abandoned small square. After having a foothold, he would search for the whereabouts of the saw-knife badge hunter.

As soon as they got off the car, they started to get busy. Chen Ke looked on, not knowing how to help, and there was no need to help. It was just a small oil lamp inserted next to the fountain in the center of the square.

This oil lamp exudes a white halo, and it is unknown what kind of fuel is burning. It is exactly the same as what Chen Ke saw on both sides of the path in the Forbidden Forest.

In addition, they also used some kind of white viscous liquid to draw something similar to runes around the square. The secret keeper smeared the white liquid in the small test tube on his hands, and then smeared it directly on the ground with his bare hands.

Chen Ke was very curious about the composition of this liquid, and even if the white water was applied to the ground, the smell was very strong. It smelled very salty, wet, and sweet, which made people feel sick.

However, what worries Chen Ke even more is the characters they scrawled on. I carefully compared the photos on my phone and found that these characters were the same as those in the pattern I saw when I met Little Jack.

He took a few pictures with his mobile phone, then sat by the fountain, leaning the REC7 assault rifle aside, thinking about sending these pictures to Laura when he returned to 2009.

Chen Ke's modern rifle caught Ying Guode's attention. He stepped forward to chat with Chen Ke, staring at the gun and looking at it.

"Is that... a gun?" Ying Guode asked boldly.

"Yes, it's no different from what you are using." Chen Ke put the gun and mobile phone back. These things should not be seen by people of this era.

Seeing that Chen Ke didn't want to talk to him any more, Ying Guode also wisely stopped asking and moved to other topics.

"What is your relationship with Ms. Maria?" Yingbode asked curiously.

"She and I have a bad relationship." Chen Ke said perfunctorily.

"Well... don't say she is your lover..." Ying Guode laughed.

"Should we be more attentive? Can you still make such a joke here?" Chen Kedao said.

"Oh... he is a not very interesting young man... Well, I just lost my temper. In fact, I am here to remind you that if we encounter something strange later, I hope you can take care of yourself." Ying Bao Morality.

"I can." Chen Ke said.

"I don't doubt your ability, but...those things require blood to defeat, and we don't have any extra blood to give you." Ying Guode said.

"I don't need your blood." Chen Ke said.

"Well, you have your own way? Yes, I'll wait and see." Ying Guode said.

"What are you talking about here?"

Daniel came over, holding a different saw blade in his hand. It had a spike on the tip and was straighter than the other secret keepers' saw blades. It felt like a folded spear.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about how he will fight those beasts." Ying Guode said.

"Chen should have his own way, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back from the delivery room." Daniel said.

"Don't you find it strange? Old Dan? Chen seems to have never been here before. He also showed curiosity when walking through the forbidden forest." Ying Guode said.

"Isn't it too late for you to start doubting me now?" Chen Ke said coldly.

"I know you are doubting him, but I think there is no problem with Chen. His target is only Ms. Maria, and let me tell you, he doesn't know much about Maria." Daniel said.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Ying Guode asked.

"Everyone has their own problems. Sometimes... it is helpless to throw yourself into it without knowing anything about it. Am I right, Chen?" Daniel looked at Chen Ke.

"Thank you for your understanding. I have nothing to do with the secret keeper. I just want to find Ms. Maria. She has something that belongs to me. That's all." Chen Ke said.

"Well...then I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get it back." Ying Guode shook his head.

"It's just difficult, but it's not impossible to get it back. Let's continue..." Chen Ke said, and suddenly heard a faint ringing from the distance.

"Ding...ding...ding...ding..."

"Shh... listen." Ying Guode also heard it, and other secret keepers present also heard it. Everyone immediately put down what they were doing, stopped talking, and all stood on guard.

"What does this mean?" Chen Ke asked softly.

"They're coming..." Daniel replied.

Daniel gently opened his saw blade and turned it into a long-handled spear, and Yinghuode also took out the sword staff in his hand.

Chen Ke took out the REC7 automatic rifle and loaded it lightly, making a crisp clicking sound. Ying Guode glanced sideways at the gun in Chen Ke's hand, looking curious.

"Who are they?" Chen Ke was also curious. His vision could not detect anyone coming, but the inexplicable pressure had already hit him. The killer's instinctive reaction told him that they were surrounded.

At this time, Brown came over with a big axe. Although the three old men looked very thin, Chen Ke didn't think they were much worse than the young people. They might not have enough strength, but judging from their steps and eyes, their attacks must be quite sharp and experienced.

"They... the residents who live here." Brown whispered.

"Isn't this place between... illusion and reality? How could anyone live here?" Chen Ke asked.

"Back then, the keeper used the forbidden forest to separate Old Langdon and New Langdon. Do you think it was just a piece of land..." Daniel said.

Chen Ke understood instantly... This is a story of a hero cutting off his arm.

"We had to do this. There was no choice at the time. Either watch everyone be infected by the filthy blood, or give up some people and save more people." Brown said.

"I don't mean to blame you." Chen Ke nodded.

He thought of a popular puzzle: the trolley problem.

A madman tied five innocent people to the trolley track. An out-of-control trolley drove towards them and was about to crush them in a moment.

Fortunately, you can pull a lever to drive the tram to another track. However, the problem is that the madman also tied a person on the other tram track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever?

This problem was once a very famous thought experiment in ethics. The core question is whether the interests of a small number of people should be sacrificed to save more people?

However, Chen Ke did not think there was anything to think about this problem. If there are enough resources, take them all. If there are not enough resources, save more people. It's that simple.

The root cause of this problem that has caused people to be entangled is whether you are the part that is sacrificed.

"Those people were pulled into the illusion... In any case, this is our responsibility." Daniel said.

"Don't worry about ethical issues now... Show your own abilities, this is their territory..." Yingguode reminded.

At the same time, the surrounding bells disappeared, replaced by manic roars. At the street entrances around the square, a large group of Langdon citizens wielding axes and kitchen knives were rushing towards the secret keeper frantically.

This month's updates are pretty poor, so you can wait and see.
