Chapter 623 Human Heart
When I saw it, I felt dizzy. You know, there is a distance of more than four meters between these two trees, and the height is about ten meters. It takes courage to jump over like this.I weighed it up, and found that I didn't have the ability, so I could only give up a wry smile, gave up the idea of ​​following up, and lay down in the distance, ready to observe the lazy guy's next move.

His movements were soundless, like a ghost, because the forest here was dense, so his feet didn't touch the ground at all, he jumped from tree to tree, and went all the way forward.Since the lazy guy has no lights, his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, and I couldn't see it either. The only thing I could see was the bonfire at the campsite.

I know that sloth is bound to end up in that place eventually.

What is he trying to do?Inquire about the movement of the enemy?

While I was puzzled, in the darkness, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the two guards.I recognized it as a lazy guy. He had already got off the tree at some point and walked around behind one of them.The man didn't realize it, but the man sitting opposite him playing cards looked up and noticed it.

However, before the man could make a sound, a black knife flew straight over. This time I could see clearly that the knife went straight into the throat. People fell down.

And at the moment when the knife was thrown, the lazy man grabbed the other man's neck with his wrist from behind, and then twisted it hard. The man's neck turned 180 degrees and fell to the ground.

I squatted on the tree and felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured all over my body.

It's not that I haven't killed people before, but I have never seen such a murderous person, and I killed two people in an instant without blinking an eyelid.

At this time, Lazy raised his head and glanced at where I was, with a weird smile on his face, but he didn't continue, and his figure sank into the darkness.And this silent murder did not wake up the rest of the people sleeping in the tent, everything was quiet.

At this moment, I finally knew what kind of ruthless character Bai Sanye sent.I couldn't help but think of the conversation I had with Master Hu that day, and my heart skipped a beat: Could it be that lazy guy is the executor of this task?He wants to kill all the members of the Guo family?
But why didn't he continue after killing two people?

After a while, I heard footsteps under the tree, the sound of feet on dead leaves, and then the lazy guy climbed up the tree where I was again.There wasn't even a trace of blood on him, the only thing with blood was the knife.

The knife was sheathed, and since we were now squatting on the same tree fork, we were so close to each other that I could see the blood on the scabbard by the moonlight.

The lazy guy sat on the branch of the tree, his legs hanging lazily at his sides, his hands resting on his head, and his eyes began to close.I suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in my heart and said, "In the middle of the night, you got up...just to kill those two people?" As soon as I said the words, I realized that my voice was very hoarse.

I thought I had controlled my emotions well enough, but as soon as I uttered my voice, I realized how much the night had been impacted.It was the first time that someone killed someone in front of my eyes so easily and calmly. Even this person has started to doze off now, and I have no idea what he wants to do.

Time passed by, and I looked at the camp. Since no one added firewood to the campfire, the light gradually dimmed. The two people who died silently did not disturb the sleeping people in the tent. Everything was silent in the dark. Quiet passing.

I know that the lazy man must have his own reasons for lying on this tree instead of going straight back to camp.

What is he waiting for?
About half an hour later, in the darkness, I suddenly remembered a distant howling sound, and I realized it was a wolf howling!

The howling of wolves was very close together, one after another, and they seemed to be gathering together. If I guessed correctly, the wolves were heading towards the camp over there!In an instant, I understood the lazy man's intentions, and I only felt cold hands and feet.This man first killed two people silently, and lured some ferocious beasts with a strong smell of blood.Among the ferocious beasts that hunt at night, wolves are the most important. This kid deliberately used this method to lure the wolves to attack their camp.

Hearing the howling of wolves, the lazy man lying on the tree sat up straight, staring at the camp in the distance without blinking, with a meaningful smile on his ordinary face, he said: " The fun is about to begin.”

As the howling of wolves intensified, the people in the camp were naturally woken up, and they got out of the tent in a panic. At first sight, they saw two people lying on the ground, and immediately surrounded them. When they found that the people were dead , The group of people shouted and looked around, obviously thinking that the murderer was still nearby.

By this time, the wolves had arrived.

The wolves were afraid of the fire, so they didn't approach for a while, but judging from the defensive posture of the group of people back to back, holding guns, they should have been surrounded by wolves.At this moment, the young lady of the Guo family gave some orders, and one of them got into the tent, and after a while, he began to add things to the fire.

The firelight instantly illuminated their faces. A group of people looked gloomy, and their faces were blurred under the beating firelight. They should have added solid fuel or something. Immediately afterwards, there was a series of gunshots.The sound of gunfire was endless, and it was fired towards the source.

I calmed down at this moment, and after analyzing it, I felt that the lazy man's plan was going to fail, and I said: "They have enough fuel, and the wolves dare not approach. Now the wolves are basically being targeted by them. It won't be long, sure." If you want to use the wolves to destroy them, you will be miscalculated."

The lazy guy yawned while observing the battle situation, and said lazily, "You think too badly of me, don't you? I'm saving them."

I froze for a moment, thinking that this man was talking nonsense. He killed two people without changing his face, and attracted wolves to besiege him. Every move was putting people to death. Now he is ashamed to say that he wants to save people ?Do you really think I'm a fool?
I couldn't help sneering, and said, "Really, how are you going to save it?"

Lazy said lightly: "Wolf is an extremely patient animal, and it is a firm monogamous system. They have a strong desire for revenge. If they continue to fight like this, they will consume a lot of fuel and weapons, so there will be no ways to support future actions.”

I immediately understood the meaning of the lazy man, and continued: "Even if the wolf pack retreats tonight, many wolves in the wolf pack will lose their other half under such killings. Wolves are loyal and extremely vengeful. The wolves who lost their mates are likely to form a new revenge team."

The lazy man squinted his eyes half-closed, staring at the group of people who did not want bullets to slaughter wolves, and said indifferently: "When the time comes, there will be insufficient fuel, insufficient ammunition, and wolves will retaliate. If it were you, what would you do?"

I immediately understood Lazy's intentions, and felt heavy in my heart, and said: "Under such circumstances, for the safety of the team, I must give up this operation and can no longer follow us."

The rascal yawned, and said, "They have been following us, Mr. Hu will kill them sooner or later, if I let them stop now, wouldn't they save their lives?"

I didn't know how to finish my sentence for a while, the gunshots continued, accompanied by the howling of wolves, the sound changed from aggressive at first to painful later, and even from the howling, I could hear loneliness and howling.For this plan, Lazy planned this operation meticulously, playing with the lives of human beings and the lives of wolves in his hands.

Those wolves will never know why their partners died. They just follow the smell of blood to find food to satisfy their hunger, and then suffer an unequal killing, get injured, die, and lose their partners...

As animals, they are only terrified by the terror of human beings, but cannot understand the human heart.

Listening to the miserable howling of wolves, I deeply felt that the human heart is such a terrifying thing.I've done bad things, and I've seen others do bad things; I've killed people, and I've seen others kill people, and even then, I didn't feel the way I do now.

The shrill and mournful howling of wolves and the sound of dense gunshots chilled my blood all over my body.

At this time, the lazy guy suddenly asked me: "Are you sympathizing with these people?"

I thought about it and said, "No, I'm sympathizing with those wolves."

Lazy finally opened his eyes, looked at me with surprise, and said, "Sympathize with those wolves? They're just animals. What's there to sympathize with? I thought you couldn't bear the sight of me killing the two of you."

I felt as if a heavy stone had been pressed in my heart. Looking at the lazy man's lazy expression, thinking of the man and wolf who died at the first thought of him, I said: "After going through this night, I feel that man is really too powerful, and the human heart is too strong." It's too disgusting. There are too many disgusting people in this world, and I have nothing to do with how many more people die. In comparison, those wolves seem to be more innocent."

The lazy guy suddenly laughed out loud, and said, "Hahaha, how many more people die has nothing to do with you? If you say this on the street, everyone will point their noses at you and scold you."

I said: "Why should I go to the street to say it? Historically, the truth is kept in the heart, and the lie is spoken."

Lazy said lightly: "Aren't you human?"

"Of course I am, so I'm pretty disgusting too." I couldn't be bothered to watch this fight anymore. The sound of the wolves had become weaker and weaker, and they were obviously starting to retreat. Even if they were far away, I could still smell them. To the strong smell of blood.

These beasts may not understand until their death why they have to sacrifice the lives of so many companions for a single meal.

Their heads will never be able to figure it out, because someone is manipulating all this.People don't have sharp claws, sharp canine teeth, or huge bite force, but they have wisdom.Their wisdom, along with their desires, changed the world, but at the same time they slaughtered.
