Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 269 Andil O'Rigennossen
Chen Yan got up and was about to go out.

But he immediately discovered that his legs were out of control!

He walked step by step towards the confessional room surrounded by dark red jujube wood shutters, his strenuous control over his body had no effect at all, he could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to the confessional room, pushing away uncontrollably The double-opening spring door, sitting on the uneven high wooden chair, faced the priest on the other side of the thin wooden curtain.

"Please read it with me."

The orders of the priest are not subject to any resistance.

"Conscience, tell me, what crime have I committed?"

Although Chen Yan's body was out of control, he still couldn't help complaining in his heart. How could he be praying to his "conscience"?Shouldn't we pray to the Holy Light?
His mouth was uncontrollable, and he followed the priest to say this sentence.

As he spoke, he began to wonder, is it really Father Andil on the other side of the thin wooden curtain?
"Then, sir, please answer this question."

I don't know what kind of magical power his words possessed. The moment Chen Yan heard his commanding tone, the memories of the past exploded in his mind like fragments.

He recalled the mottled past like light and shadow, and blurted out some words uncontrollably.

"I committed a crime of ignorance."

Inexplicable emotions filled Chen Yan's heart.

"I'm not good at learning, and I can't master the knowledge that can change the world, so I can only watch the world run according to its original rules."

The figure on the other side of the thin wooden curtain trembled, as if he didn't expect Chen Yan to say this.

"I don't know how to live better. I can only try my best to get a meager salary, even if those methods are not honorable or even despicable."

"I don't know how to survive in such a society. I can only obey the will of the society with the reason of [social rules cannot be overridden], and I can only be raped by the society."

"I don't know what my future is going to be, so I have to tell lies to everyone that I don't even believe myself. Over time, I even believe some lies."

"I don't know how to live a good life, so I aim at what the world thinks is [live a good life], and beautify any means I have [I must do this to live a better life]."

"I'm already tired of this kind of life, but I have to live like this, because I don't know how to live.

I've had enough of this life, enough of this ignorance, but I can't change a thing. "

"I'm ignorant enough."

"Ignorance is my sin."

When he finished speaking, the priest on the other side of the thin wooden curtain had turned to face him.

"Sir, please proceed."

There were other emotions in the priest's serious voice, like surprise, but also like a little bit of excitement.

Chen Yan's eyes were frantic, and he didn't know why he said these words.

He only knew that it was the first time he knew himself so clearly.

"I committed a crime of incompetence."

"I can't guarantee my three meals a day, and because of the kindness in my heart, I want to entertain those who can't guarantee their three meals a day. Never express such thoughts in front of people.

I humbly avoided those who called me the "Holy Mother", and because of this, I did despicable actions and said things that did not conform to my heart.

I kept thinking in my heart, what is the point of living a selfish life?

Even if you have everything, what's the point?

Does 'owning' make sense in itself? "

"I gave up the life I wanted because of incompetence, and because of this, I was in a state of anxiety day and night, and I couldn't get rid of it."

"I was unable to pursue the life I wanted because I was incompetent, and I lied to myself that I was alive day in and day out."

The priest's voice rose.

"Sir! Go ahead! I want to keep hearing your confessions!"

Chen Yan's eyes were red.

"Day and night I miss someone I've never met."

"He taught me justice and kindness. He told me what the world looks like and what the world should be like. He took the trouble to teach me the truth with various examples and told me what kind of person I should be. .”

"I committed the crime of cowardice because I couldn't be like him. I was too cowardly to look up to him, but I couldn't do a millionth of what he accomplished."

"I committed the crime of cowardice, because I retreated even the moment I thought about what he did, and I could only hide in a dark corner and think about everything about him, comforting my cowardice with such humble behavior heart."

Finally, uncontrollable excitement came from the other side of the confessional.

"Very good! This gentleman! Great! Please keep talking! Please tell me, what do you think is right?! I will judge a due punishment for you!"

Chen Yan paused for a few seconds.

"There are tens of thousands of rooms in Ande Guangsha..."

"Freemen and slaves, nobles and commoners, lords and serfs, guild masters and journeymen... Countless such groups are always in opposition to each other, engaged in constant, sometimes covert, sometimes overt struggles.

And the end of every struggle is that the whole society is transformed, or all the fighting groups perish together.

At the end of every struggle, [true justice] has been granted temporarily.

Until the advent of the industrial age, industrialization swept the world, and all the original relationships were integrated together. Two opposing groups gradually appeared in this world:
employers and workers.

The imperial power of today is nothing more than a committee to manage the common affairs of the entire group of employers. "

The shadow on the curtain kept nodding.

"This new relation, that of employer and worker, converts human dignity into exchange value, and replaces innumerable chartered and self-made liberties by a conscienceless freedom to trade.

This new relation stripped the sanctity of all professions which had been revered and awe-inspiring, and turned physicians, lawyers, priests, poets, and scholars into wage-earners at its expense.

In the past—the past when the emperor still had real power, such a relationship was advanced, and it was the most powerful force to change the world.

But now—when civilization is excessive, there are too many means of subsistence, and industry and commerce are too developed, the productive forces possessed by society can no longer promote the development of current ownership relations.

On the contrary, productive forces have become too strong for this relationship, it has been hindered by this relationship. "

Chen Yan's eyes gradually became firmer.

"Today, when the top rich people have begun to produce intelligent life, when the workers in the downtown area are still unclothed, when researchers have explored the starry sky, and when the material is extremely rich, there must be a new production relationship to replace The old production relations, the whole society can continue to progress."

When he finished speaking these words, the maroon wooden curtains were pushed open, and a vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Chen Yan.

"My name is Andil. I have challenged cause and effect but failed. I am just a person waiting for an answer."
