Chapter 220 Deprived Desire

The first suicide occurred at 12:17 New York time.

He stepped out of the window of the Empire State Building, with one foot dangling in the air, and the blue sky above his head. It was supposed to be a pleasant and good weather, but no positive emotions could be read on the face of the suicidal man.

The distance between Zhang Ming and him was no more than fifty meters. Because of the angle, the suicide man did not notice Zhang Ming. He just stared blankly at the ground.

Due to his experience of fighting between big bosses and superstars, Zhang Ming knew what kind of state a person would show when he was mentally controlled. In this man, Zhang Ming did not detect any signs that he was being mentally controlled.

A man is like a desperate office worker who feels that he has lost all hope and cannot see the future no matter how hard he tries, so he decides to end his tragic fate at this moment and tries to use death to fight against the oppression of this society.

The man adjusted his tie one last time and then took another step forward.

"What are you doing!"

The Chain of Absurdity flew out, pulled the suicidal man back, grabbed his collar, and Zhang Ming asked loudly.

"You are..." The man recognized Zhang Ming. He still didn't have much expression on his face. He turned his head and was unwilling to look at Zhang Ming. He continued: "I'm sorry to cause you trouble, but please don't

Save me, I don’t want to live anymore, just let me die like this. I just saw that if you jump from this position, you won’t hurt the pedestrians below.”

Zhang Ming likes to commit suicide. After he came to this world, he ended the lives of many people, but from beginning to end, he never gave up respect for life.

He felt very angry at this irresponsible guy who wanted to end his life easily.

Zhang Ming pulled the man closer and spit in his face: "I tell you! As long as I am here, you can't even think about dying. Since you have the courage to die, then say what you just said to your family,

Say it again to your friends and see if they beat you - "

Poof!

Zhang Ming's words were interrupted by a crisp voice, and he followed the sound and looked over.

A female corpse with twisted limbs and exposed bones created an irregular pool of blood on the ground. He turned his eyes and saw an open window in the middle of the Empire State Building.

Clip!

Time reverses for six seconds.

The man whose collar was pulled by Zhang Ming said: "I'm sorry to cause trouble to you, but please don't save me..."

"Shut up!" Zhang Ming didn't have time to listen to his thoughts on life. He quickly glanced down and found the woman who had jumped off the floor.

She probably jumped from the middle of the Empire State Building.

It is known that the woman is about 100 meters away from the ground and Zhang Ming is about 230 meters away from her. Assume that the air resistance is zero and the woman is in free fall. How many meters per second does Zhang Ming's flying boots need to reach a constant speed to save the woman before she falls to death?

?

"I hate doing math problems the most!"

The flying boots were activated at full power. Zhang Ming grabbed the suicidal man and let him experience a high-speed bungee jump, but the speed was still not enough!

"The Lock of Absurdity!"

The soft chain suddenly became hard, like a dark javelin.

Zhang Ming holds the javelin, the electric current stimulates his muscles, and he throws it with all his strength!

The "javelin" flew past the woman without catching her.

Because the woman fell too fast, if the chain was directly wrapped around her, even if she did not die, her spine would be broken and she would be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

Zhang Ming clenched his fist hard with his left hand, and the chains of absurdity intertwined under his control, turning into a big net in an instant.

The woman landed on the net and fell nearly ten meters, finally losing the inertia of her fall.

Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He held one in each hand and put the suicidal man and woman on the ground like a chicken.

"Is working in the Empire State Building so stressful? Or have you already made an appointment to commit suicide by jumping off the building together?" Zhang Ming put his hands on his hips and scolded two middle-aged men and women who were older than him.

"I just feel that it is boring." The woman said, "I don't want a job, I don't want a family, I don't want a promotion, I don't want money, everything is boring...including living, so I thought of death."

The woman's words sounded exactly like the man's, both of which had lost the meaning of survival. Zhang Ming was sensitive to the unusualness and asked, "When did you start having this idea?"

"Just now." They both said at the same time.

"Host, I suggest you take a look at the mission interface." The small TV in the consciousness space issued a reminder.

"What about the mission interface..." Zhang Ming was stunned after opening the mission interface.

Mission: The Fall of New York. The first requirement is to "protect New York so that the number of deaths does not exceed 100,000." Just now, Zhang Ming was still thinking about how Proxima Centauri would cause such a large-scale death, but now...

The death toll has reached 300 and is rising rapidly.

what happened?

Zhang Ming held his breath and listened carefully. It was very quiet. Except for cars honking and pedestrians chatting, he did not hear any abnormal sounds such as aliens, gunshots, explosions, etc.

Wait a moment……

He closed his eyes and vaguely heard the screams, but the screams flashed past and were quickly drowned in this bustling metropolis.

His intuition told him that there was some connection between the growing death toll and the suicidal man and woman.

"Do you still want to die now?" Zhang Ming asked them.

"I don't know." The man said, "There is no point in living, so the body unconsciously chooses to die. Jumping off the building is the most convenient way. But in order to die, I have to climb the building again and jump again... I didn't do that.

Desire. I just want to lie here. Maybe after a while, I will naturally starve to death."

The woman nodded, and then the strange middle-aged man and woman just lay on the roadside, staring at the sky.

What the hell is going on?

boom!

The sound of impact came from behind Zhang Ming. A taxi hit the wall head-on. A taxi driver smashed the windshield and flew out. He hit the ground head first, and his head and cervical vertebrae were broken at a terrifying angle.

Oh shit!

Clip!

In just a short while, Zhang Ming had already used editing twice without even seeing the appearance of the enemy, but a big living person died in front of him, and he couldn't just let it go.

This has nothing to do with being a hero or not. Anyone with normal moral values ​​will make the same choice.

Time goes back six seconds again.

The taxi was approaching rapidly. The driver should have stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the speed was at least 140 kilometers per hour. As he passed by, Zhang Ming saw the driver half-lying on the seat, staring blankly ahead.

His hands completely let go of the steering wheel.

Another suicide!

Zhang Ming took a step forward, pulled open the door, grabbed the taxi driver accurately, and pulled him out of the car. He threw the driver next to the middle-aged man and woman.

"You are..." The driver also recognized Zhang Ming.

"Yes, it's me, Zhang Ming. You don't want to live anymore?"

"Well, I..."

Zhang Ming interrupted him, "Do you also think life is meaningless?"

"That's right, I don't think it's interesting to continue driving, anyway..."

Zhang Ming interrupted him again, "Okay, there's an empty seat there. Just lie down. You'll automatically starve to death in two days."

This absurd statement did not make the driver feel abnormal. He nodded, walked to the side of the suicidal man and woman, and lay down silently.

"Didi!"

The communicator rang, Zhang Ming pressed call, and Director Fury's voice came.

"What happened in New York! Why did the detectives tell me that in just a few seconds, people all over the city started committing suicide?"

Zhang Ming looked at the three people on the ground and said in a low voice: "I don't know what happened. If there is a possibility, I suspect that Proxima Centauri has cursed the entire city."

"curse?"

"Yes, a curse that turns people into salted fish." Zhang Ming said.

It's just that ordinary salted fish have no desire to fight at most, but these three lying on the ground...

They no longer even have the desire to live.

They have been deprived of all "desires".
