Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 313 The joys and sorrows of people are not connected

Some drinkers left cursing one after another, some jumped into the bar, trying to snatch the barrels containing the fake wine, and some rushed up with anger, surrounded the strong man's boys, and treated them Fist and kick together.

In a short while, the tavern was more than half empty.

Chen Yan sat back at the bar, staring blankly at the fake wine in the glass in front of him.

Ohgami sat beside him, quietly accompanying him.

Chen Yan said:

"That man, I saw that when he drank, his hands were shaking all the time. Before the last drink, his eyes were protruding outwards, and his temples were also swollen. These are signs of shock."

"I knew at the time that he was going to give up."

"I also knew at the time that he didn't even know that the wine sold here was fake."

"Maybe he doesn't even know what fake wine is.

Or maybe he didn't have the concept of "fake wine" in his head at all. "

"He really thought that the wine was drinkable, and he really thought I was messing things up."

"How ignorant."

"Ogami, tell me, are most of these ignorant people in Yanan City?"

Ohgami affirmed: "Yes, and... there are many more people like this than you can imagine."

Chen Yan said: "Isn't it a kind of sadness that there are so many people like this?"

Ohgami still affirmed: "Yes."

Chen Yan said again: "Why would a person like the director build the Internet?"

Ohgami didn't know about it, so he was noncommittal.

Chen Yan didn't know whether he was thinking wildly, or was anesthetized by the alcohol volatilized in the air, so he said to himself:

"You said, so a person who has made such great achievements, if he wants to build the Internet, doesn't he have any desire [to make society and mankind progress] in his head? Doesn't he have any idea [to make society enlightened]?"

"I think there will be more or less."

"No one can define it with a simple concept, and the same is true for the director."

"But his steps are too big, how many eggs will be torn off, he can't hold on, if there is no one to restrain him, if he steps into the air, he won't be able to pull back."

"I don't simply want to restrain him. I'm not such a noble person. Things like saving the world have never been what I want to do-my initial thought was just to gain benefits from him."

"I just want to make money in a low-key way, just hang out in a small corner and live my life well, that's enough."

"But I saw these people today - these idiots who don't even know what fake wine is, I feel very sad."

"It's like you're walking down the road and you see a dog eating its own vomit and you think, what the hell is that dog so disgusting?

You will think again, the dog must be sick when it has been reduced to this point, how pitiful it is.

You also wonder, does it eat it because it doesn't know it's vomit, it just knows it's food?

Do you feel uncomfortable after thinking about it so much? "

Ohgami replied earnestly, "I'll give that sick dog a treat."

Chen Yan asked back: "Nine out of ten stray dogs are sick, can you kill one if you see one?"

He went on to say: "I know the analogy is wrong, but when I saw that guy drinking fake wine by bottle, it was all in my head."

"I pity him, I feel like he's like the dog that ate his vomit and did something disgusting because he didn't have anything in his head, sadly he didn't even know it was wrong. "

"But I hate him again. I don't think people should be so ignorant. Didn't he think that the wine was too spicy than ordinary wine? Didn't he think that the wine was not as fragrant as normal wine? Didn't he smell the pungent smell in it?" Smell? Is he a fucking dumbass?!"

"How should I treat such a person?

If you knocked him down, I'd feel like I'd bullied a poor fool.

If you let him yell, I'll feel sick to him again and want you to wring his head off. "

"I was entangled and uncomfortable in this kind of violent contradiction, as if I was caught in quicksand and couldn't extricate myself."

"I'm so fucking hypocritical."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, his eyes became dull again.

After a while, most of the people dispersed, and the various sounds in the tavern quieted down. A cold night wind passed through the open gate, and a few pieces of blowing snow were drawn in, blowing away all the smells in the tavern.

Chen Yancai shivered as if he had come back to his senses.

Ohgami patted him on the shoulder: "Pitying the weak is the exclusive qualification of the strong."

Chen Yan looked lonely: "Ogami, you don't know what I'm thinking, the sorrows and joys of people are not connected."

Ohgami scolded: "You are so fucking hypocritical."

Chen Yan didn't care, stood up and walked out of the tavern.

The two left the tavern side by side, and the not-so-fresh air in Mouse Alley made them feel extremely comfortable.

Walking on the street without street lights, Chen Yan whispered:

"there's one more thing."

"I originally thought that the Aiir people were barbarians who didn't know morality—in my original understanding, their living environment determined that they must be fierce, and they must ignore a large part of the morality I defined. nationality."

"The first thing that changed my mind was Marina. No matter what she was before, her child gave her salvation. I saw the best side of human nature in her. That's when I thought the world was still alive. Salvageable facts.”

Ohgami didn't know what he was trying to express.

"The second thing that changed my mind was Gottlind, she showed a beautiful character that I can't imagine - a good character defined by my values ​​- trustworthiness, which is almost the most difficult thing to do one of them."

Ohgami reminded: "But you still lied to her just now."

Chen Yan shook his head: "Really not."

"Before today, even with Mr. Mogwyn's will, I was not in a hurry to save Vivienne. I even wanted her to stay in the zoo temporarily. After the network is turned on, she will become a part. It is one of my trump cards for invading the director's Internet world."

Although Ohgami didn't know the specific incident, he probably guessed the meaning of his words, frowned and said, "But I don't think you are as...ruthless as you said."

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, Ogami, I made such a decision, and I feel guilty because of such a decision.

In an opportunistic way, I skipped Mr. Mergwynn's undead will and did not rescue his daughter in time. This is my selfishness, and I feel deeply guilty for it. "

Ohgami had nothing to say.

Chen Yan continued: "This morning, I did another thing, and that thing made me no longer need to use Vivienne, so I can save her, and I can count it as Mr. Mogwen An explanation."

Ogami felt that Chen Yan's state was very wrong, he put his hands on his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "If you continue like this, you will drive yourself crazy sooner or later."

Chen Yan lowered his head, snowflakes fell, and the top of his head was soon dyed white.

"I always do things I don't like to do in order to survive, against my own heart."

"Ogami, it's painful for me to live like this."
