Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 314 Unceasing Cutting 【Immortality】

At 07:30 in the evening, Mouse Lane was noisier than usual. The drinkers who used to gather in the tavern came to the street in one brain, and the news of "everyone has no more cheap drinks" among the crowd was enough to stir up excitement among the crowd. The terrible truth about the riots.

The moonlight tonight is as dim as last night, and there are many more bonfire pits on the street than usual, but people did not dance around the bonfire as usual, but sat around the bonfire, either in a daze, or staring blankly Looking at the flames without saying a word.

Chen Yan and Ogami walked through the streets lit by bonfires.

"I thought before that most of the people are ignorant, and the reason can be attributed to low productivity and backward production relations.

The industrial revolution has just started, and the productivity is not enough to supply so many people with literacy, and there is no way to feed everyone. "

He shrank his head to avoid the snow falling into his neck.

"But I have learned a lot recently, and those things have subverted my view of the world.

I know that people in this realm have begun to explore the future, and have continued for decades.

The total resources of the society are certain, so they use so many resources to develop technology?

Naturally it comes from other people.

I know that there are people in this country who have advanced agricultural and animal husbandry technology, no matter whether those technologies come from the so-called [outer gods].

I know that they have the ability to change everything, but they still regard those abilities as authority and play with the world like a worthless toy. "

Ohgami knew whom he was talking about:
"Actually, I am also very puzzled, what is the purpose of Leonardo's actions?
He is clearly a businessman and a politician at heart, but what he shows is just a kind-hearted philanthropist. "

Mentioning this person, Chen Yan frowned:

"Believe me, what he has done is much worse than you can imagine. The inconspicuous favors he bestows on people are nothing compared to the benefits he can obtain."

His eyes are lonely:
"But even if I know, what's the use?
Someone like Leonard Adams will come along sooner or later, and even if I let you kill him, someone else will take his place. "

Ohgami said:
"That said, the kind of people that Leonard Adams represents, they're actually immortal—they're going to show up anyway, and they're doing the same thing."

Chen Yan replied: "Yes..."

After he gave an affirmative answer, he suddenly thought of something, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Ogami.

The bonfire illuminated Ogami's side face. The face with many scars was so resolute, and the bright eyes reflected the burning flames.

"Ogami."

Chen Yan's eyes also reflected the bright flames from the bonfire.

"Is this the [Immortal] you want to cut off?"

Ohgami said nothing, seemed to be thinking.

The two walked forward for a long time, and when they were about to leave Mouse Lane, Ogami spoke again:
"It's a type of [immortality] that I want to cut off."

Chen Yan grinned, he seemed extremely happy:
"What you want to cut off is actually [the objective law of social development]!"

His joy turned to excitement:

"Ogami, that's impossible!

[The objective law of social development] Eternal existence, which cannot be cut off no matter what! "

Judging from his tone, it is obvious that he has great interest in the matter of [cutting off the objective law of social development].

Ohgami knew why he was excited, thought for a moment, and said:

"Any form of [immortality] will turn into ugly corruption.

I have confronted monsters like that, and learned their greed and sorrow.

Just like the supernatural beings of the empire, once they lose control due to possessing too much supernatural power, a phenomenon called corruption will appear out of control.

What I call "corruption" is to distort the meaning of human existence.

I have encountered all kinds of enemies who want to be immortal. They paid a huge price for [immortality]. All of them ended up very miserable, and most of them turned into monsters that were neither human nor ghost.

Until the day after I killed them all, I suddenly understood that the beauty that I used to live on, and the morality that I regarded as the creed of life, all came from "immortality".

I understood everything that day, thinking that I was about to usher in a new life, and that the beauty in my heart would last forever.

But I was wrong.

The person I was loyal to died, and the morality I insisted on became a joke in front of [Undead]. After completing the almost impossible achievement, we still have to repeat the path of the pioneers.

Presumably, my successors will do the same. "

Ogami marched against the wind and snow, and the cold of the winter night seemed to have no effect on him who was only wearing denim clothes.

Or maybe his heart is calm enough, even the impact of the severe winter cold in the empire on his body is not enough to affect his mind.

Under the dim moonlight, Ogami seemed to be talking about some ordinary daily life.

"So, Nuomi Guo and I left our hometown, wanting to go to the source of immortality and find a way to [return immortality]."

"We've been to many places, following poor leads."

"We went to the mythical continent of Rhodeland, traveled all over Dolan Gureg, which only exists in unofficial records, until we reached the end of the journey, the city of Yanan..."

He walked against the wind, his tone firm.

"The experience of so many years has strengthened my thinking:
Any form of [immortality] should not exist.

Humans should have joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys, not monsters who live in the world just for [immortality]. "

Chen Yan took the words firmly:
"People should have more pursuits, not greedy people who exist for money and resources—just like the 'immortal' Leonardos."

Ohgami nodded.

Chen Yan said:

"There is a concept called [Alienation of Capital to People]. For example:

When the Leonardos lowered their bottom line more and more in order to earn more benefits, they always believed that their idea of ​​"making more money" and their life pursuits were correct, so they made more Bottomless behavior.

Leonardo and the others have become insatiable monsters, monsters who only live for the purpose of [gathering capital]. "

Ogami's eyes were clear: "That's right."

Chen Yan went on to say: "The productivity was gathered together by Leonardo, and the means of production were gradually mastered by them, so a monopoly emerged."

He pointed behind him.

That's in the direction of downtown and industrial areas.

"For many years to come, the monopoly will give the bosses more power, and they will have the final say on the whole society. People at the bottom of the society will rebel because of their greed. Their rebellion has success and failure.

Regardless of success or failure, it is a transformation of the world, and that is something to be awe-inspiring about.
