Chapter 43
Tick-tock, the bell rang.
Tick-tock, I saw the death of God.
Tick-tock, the devil is drinking blood.
Tick-tock, the flames are burning humanity.
Tick-tock, you and I are all devils.
After waiting for a few days, Kugavina finally saw the scene she wanted to see the most.
She didn't like to watch boring, bloodless, battle-less, conspiracy-less, and daily life of surviving on a deserted island without mutual calculations.
Who is she?
A dignified Fatui executive [servant], an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of countless people, a demon who kills without blinking an eye, a demon who regards human life as worthless.
Did she run all the way from Fontaine to the border of Liyue and Inazuma just to watch these little brats playing house games?
What she wanted to see was these 427 children fighting to the death for those 90 flags and the only chance of survival.
Counter-espionage, beauty trap, luring the tiger away from the mountain, feinting to the east and attacking in the west, poisoning, assassination, night attack, joint attack... these are what Kugavina wants to see.
Fighting for the flag is just a trigger. What Kugavina wants is to draw out the deepest malice buried in the hearts of these children.
Appreciating the ugliness of children is one of the few things she loves.
Moreover, the training of [King] is still going on. Kugavina wants the future owner of [House of Hearth] to inherit her mantle, not only inherit her family business, but also her thoughts.
Humans are not demons, nor immortals, demons and monsters.
Humans are extremely weak. Even though Kugavina now has the gift of the God of Ice and holds a divine authority, this is also a reward from her own queen, temporarily lent to her, not her own.
Compared with the demons with almost infinite life, or the immortals, demons and monsters, human life seems extremely small.
Under the glory of these two, humans are fragile.
Even if Kugavina has a lot of things now, she will not be able to take anything with her when she dies.
Time is the fairest, but humans are the greediest.
Kugavina is now second to none. Is she willing to give up such a noble position?
Of course she won't, but humans have their limits, and how can human power compete with time.
Man will conquer nature, and destiny is constant, which has never been an empty talk.
Desire is both a devil and a wheel that drives human progress.
To defeat time and become immortal is the deepest, most primitive, and most impossible desire buried in the human heart since the birth of mankind.
Therefore, compared with the slicing immortality method of her colleague [Doctor], or the polluted curse immortality of [Clown], Kugavina chose a different path.
That is...
Spiritual inheritance immortality method!
Kugavina used her own educational method to cultivate a [king] who inherited her will, and then let the [old king] continue to cultivate the [new king], so as to achieve the ultimate ideal of letting her ideas continue to flourish in Teyvat.
Compared with the eternal survival of individuals, Kugavina obviously noticed the truth revealed by thousands of years of human history.
Everything will be submerged in the long river of history. The power of individuals is so weak in the face of time. Only inheritance can avoid the end of mankind.
Teachers teach students knowledge, parents teach children how to be a human being...
Since the birth of mankind, inheritance has never been cut off.
Although in this way, she will become the nourishment for the growth of the [new king], but Kugavina doesn't care, as long as the next [king] is the successor of her will.
Otherwise, she will die with regrets.
After all, she, Kugavina, is also an educational scholar!
...
On Huludao Island, the current situation is similar to what Peruvili expected.
Around the night of the seventh day, the teams that had similar ideas to Peruvian finally couldn't hold back, and almost half of the hidden teams came out of the hidden and comfortable shelters under the cover of night.
They carefully, under the cover of darkness, killed the teams that had obtained the flags in the forest these days.
As the end of the [Assessment] was getting closer and closer, many teams were in the mood to sleep at night, but now all of them were gone.
After all, if they were not careful, they would never wake up again and sleep forever on this island.
No one dared to be careless when it came to their own lives.
The method of night duty also changed from the previous strategy of two people taking turns to keep watch and let one person stay in the best condition to three people taking turns to keep watch, trying to keep the team's combat power even and avoid the emergence of shortcomings.
Seven days ago, the smart and cautious people hid, and the confident people took the initiative to attack.Now, the situation has reversed.
Those who chose to hide before took the initiative to step forward, while those who took the initiative before were eager to hide themselves in order to keep the flag in their hands.
Somewhere on the island, three figures wearing black cloaks were overlooking from a high place.
They saw that from time to time, there would be fire and explosions somewhere in the forest, and the sound of weapons could not be heard because it was too far away.
However, they could imagine the scene of the fight.
In order to survive, they must fight for everything. And in order to prevent the flag from being taken away again, if they can't hide, they just have to kill everyone they see except their teammates!
"How many brothers and sisters will die this time?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Krevy's eyes.
"Well... it's hard to say. Originally, [Mother] gave us 90 places, but if we keep killing them like this, some of them will definitely lose their minds and will probably keep killing people before [Mother] takes action."
"These people were either killed by others, or died of exhaustion, or were lucky enough to survive to the end, with teammates and flags, and then pass the level."
Sophia spread her hands and said nonchalantly.
"This [assessment] is too cruel, with traps everywhere. It seems that we were given 90 places to live, but in fact, we were forced to fight each other for these 90 false lives."
"And in order to prevent cheating, [Mother] split us up and made us wary of each other. From the beginning, [Mother] planted the seeds of suspicion in our hearts."
Peruvian said coldly.
"If it were just like this, it would be fine..."
Krevi suddenly sighed and said.
"In that case, as long as one of us or a small group uses force to integrate everyone, we still have a chance to eliminate suspicion. [Mother] has already considered this."
"That's why she divided us into teams of three, so that we can focus on our teammates, so that most people can avoid the idea of uniting."
"When a person's desire is satisfied, he will ignore the previous immature ideas."
Hearing this, Peruvian and Sophia were silent for a while.
