Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 779 Superego ([-]): The wind hasn't moved, the sail hasn't moved

Chen Yan asked:
"Another power?"

Ohgami said in a very affirmative tone:

"I don't see where that power comes from, I just know that power exists."

Chen Yan recalled the scene of that day in panic——

It was snowing that day, and Ogami stood beside him without saying a word, while Leonard Adams chattering and pulling his blood pressure above the threshold.

He clearly knew that what the guy said was completely wrong, and he knew that he shouldn't shake the tree, but he also thought that he had to stand up, he had to...kill him.

Kill him, not for yourself this time.

That was something that Chen Yan at that time rarely did not for himself.

As for that force on the bullet?

In fact, Chen Yan's knowledge is even limited, and he is only in his 30s in his two lifetimes. How much can he experience, and what kind of human nature does he understand?
Chen Yan's so-called "theory of human nature" comes from indirect experience...and a part of practice that is almost nonexistent.

I'm not objective at all... I want to believe this purely out of my own subjective emotions, even though I know how hard it is, how...impossible it is.

He really hadn't seen it.

He felt a little lost from such thoughts.

The body of normal people is wrapped by this circle of white light humanity, and they can live normally.

Why did Ohgami ask such a question.

Is he nearing the end of his long journey?

Chen Yan reminded:
"In my forum..."

But people’s lives are not completely good. They are busy all day long and can’t stop. They earn a day’s money for a day’s work. They have to calculate the money in their hands before buying food, otherwise they will have to borrow money because they spend their budget in advance. day, and was even forced to borrow money by gangs and owe usury...

He seemed to know something, but he wasn't quite sure.

I just believe that that future will happen one day. "

If the antagonisms and contradictions between people due to material things are eliminated, although human nature is still there, it cannot be expressed in a morally negative form—human nature cannot be expressed in the form of greed. "

Not so many reasons.

Um?What's so exciting about this?

The other side of the phone was quiet, Chen Yan knew that Ogami was listening carefully.

I want to pursue that future, and I don't have any reason to believe that that future will come, and I have done many things based on it, even though I know that I will not see that future in my lifetime. "

Chen Yan realized that it was unusual that Ogami seldom showed "excitement" about something.

Chen Yan said in surprise:
"This is really good news!"

only……

To a superior who is close to a god...to a demigod, can he understand some of the underlying rules of human society?

I'm afraid I won't necessarily know what's going on in the future.

No wonder he got excited.

He realized that his indirect experience had played its due value, and that itself was also the value of indirect experience. This was the second reason for his joy.

Chen Yan was silent for a while, and then said:
"Why is human nature the same even though everyone is different——

"I killed some damn people, remember, you told me before that the Yharnam City Council was secretly manipulated by some people, I thought they were part of the 'undead humanity', I followed some clues to this point , I bumped into their sacrificial scene by mistake, which made me have a lot of bad memories, so I killed them all.

"There is a price to pay for being undead. Once touched, it will become something else—different from the undead I have come into contact with in the past. Although there are also bug-like things in their blood, the 'undead' The mechanism of action is completely different from what I've seen before."

If this is the case, Chen Yan will also be happy for him.

Ohgami lowered the point of the raised knife gradually.

"I have doubts about my purpose, maybe because this pursuit has been too long, so long that I even forgot my original purpose."

In my eyes, human nature is a ray of white light attached to a person.

In order to stabilize his state, Chen Yan could only bite the bullet:

"I'm just an ordinary person who is not very smart. I don't have the ability to make that future appear, and I can only fight for that future through my clumsy efforts.

"So, now 'humanity' takes second place."

Chen Yan is very frank.

In his view, greed for material things is almost the anchor of human nature, from which most things in the world arise.

Almost 80% of the industry in Yanan City is in their hands. "

Some kind of change has taken place in his spirit, but it seems like nothing has happened. He feels that the world in front of him is more clearly visible than before, but the world in front of him has not changed at all.

Although Ogami's voice was still perplexed, his emotions had calmed down, and his emotions had never fluctuated too much:

Ohgami continued:
"I searched for human nature everywhere, and wanted to see what kind of human nature could not die.

"If you can't even see that future, how can you make me believe it?"

I believe that the day when the contradictions and contradictions caused by matter will be eliminated will definitely come true, and I will work hard and strive for it.

The vicissitudes and dust permeating in his words almost covered that trace of enlightenment.

At this moment, a trance suddenly rose in his heart, and an inexplicable thought emerged in his heart at this moment:

Chen Yan didn't know how much he had accepted this "preaching", but he only knew that he was probably fine now.

Chen Yan didn't know how to tell him.

Chen Yan couldn't hear any response from the phone, and the world where Ogami lived was silent, as if everything had lost its voice.

Ohgami's voice came intermittently from the microphone:
"Everyone dies, everyone's humanity is lost by death, but once it reappears, it's the same as it was before.

Ohgami glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, and felt the killing intent that had surrounded the entire villa—the killing intent came from armed men with guns, and his actions were discovered.

Before that, Chen Yan never thought that he would have such an idea.

When he lowered his head, the Milky Way turned into a blurred light and shadow and quickly retreated. Suddenly he sat back in the restaurant opened by the Slavs, and the noisy clinking of glasses and shouting, shouting from the dining outlet and Ah Wei The sound of answering, the footsteps of passers-by outside the window...

"After this incident, during the few days of your prison life, I wandered the streets, saw many things, chatted with many people, and I found another thing that might not die --human nature."

Even if I can't see such a future, I firmly believe that such a future will definitely appear, because I subjectively hope that the world can become better, so I want to transform society through practical actions.

Ohgami was silent for a while, as if recalling the knowledge he had read in the strike simulator forum.

Ogami used a long and complicated sentence here, and Chen Yan almost didn't understand it.

I see!Ohgami found something very similar to the "undead" he wanted to cut off!

Ohgami's words diverted his attention, and he soon forgot about his loss.

It was Ogami's words that drew Chen Yan's attention back:

He carefully recalled the synesthesia he had at that time, and the answer was nothing—he didn't feel anything from the bullet.

There are many such people in the upper city of Yanan City. "

At this moment, the real world seemed to be infinitely farther away. Chen Yan saw the stars and the moon passing by him. He concentrated his attention and saw the sea of ​​bright trees and flowers emitting an ice-blue shimmer on the moon. His vision turned , above the sea of ​​bright trees and flowers, the broken galaxy drifting in the deep universe passed close to him.

The sound of "no list" from the Slavs after drinking happily, the sound of Swarm licking the plate with his tongue, the sound of Awei thanking him happily after receiving the tip, the sound of traffic coming into the restaurant through the window...

He added a word in the middle of his speech, a neutral word, which made Chen Yan very happy, because it proved that he had gradually recovered his "true calm".

Fortunately, Chen Yan heard it and was very happy.

When he said these words, Chen Yan came to a realization:

From the perspective of earthly morality, both positive and negative humanity are exactly the same as before this humanity died out of the body of other individuals. "

Chen Yan didn't know what kind of emotions he was carrying to say these words:

He followed his own heart and continued:
"But Ogami, people always do what they think is right, even if they don't know whether it is right or not, and they don't know whether it will end.

This is my humanity, my desire—

look!Such humanity is not the immortal humanity you see, is it? "

Chen Yan was calm.

Chen Yan felt inexplicable excitement from Ogami's words.

The white light humanity in some people is particularly strong, and most of them are people who have made extraordinary achievements in human society.

"In this way, isn't the human nature that grows from different people's bodies immortal?"

"Indeed."

What he said next caused Chen Yan to feel a brief burst of heart palpitations.

"Have you ever seen a future like that?"

He was obviously very confused, that's why he was vague - Chen Yan felt that he probably didn't know where he was going and what to do.

It was hard for Chen Yan to imagine such a future.

But synesthesia can only feel "excitement" from Ogami's voice, and there is nothing other than excitement.

Hearing Ogami's joking voice, Chen Yan finally felt relieved.

It's fine.

"Interestingly, I found that their sacrifices were to gain something - they had a means of 'immortality' which made them non-human, and the sacrifices allowed them to achieve this means conditions of."

"I don't see a future like that."

At this moment, the noise from the outside world once again filled his ears:

He got it!
Instead he said:
"But that's impossible...nearly impossible."

Even if you understand it, can you accept it?

"Even though I always want to judge everything as an objective materialist, my most fundamental starting point is idealism——

Most of them are nobles with very old surnames, and the property controlled by the entire family is shocking——

"The so-called greed in human nature - the greed of immortality, is the pursuit of things."

"I seem to have seen this somewhere..."

"People always have to do something."

Ogami's state became unstable again, his mind was disordered and tyrannical, but he was helpless because of unsolvable puzzles. He just wanted to kill at this moment!
Until Chen Yan's voice sounded.

Chen Yan explained tremblingly, searching through the meager amount of knowledge in his head, for fear of saying something wrong:
"From the definition of secular morality, the beautiful side of human nature has pursuits, and the ugly side of human nature also has pursuits. Most of these pursuits are realized by obtaining materials, but the pursuit of goodness is not defined as greed."

Why are some things in human nature, such as greed, exactly the same? "

Chen Yan obviously knew how much he had. According to his thinking, even if he could solve Ogami's confusion, it probably wasn't what Ogami wanted to hear.

People's lives seem to be getting better. They can eat rich food, live in high-tech houses, and enjoy cities built according to mathematical logic.

The confusion in his tone almost overflowed.

"So, I now have a thesis hypothesis to prove that 'human nature is not immortal':

Ohgami said in a low voice:

He became very happy because of such enlightenment. This kind of happiness is pure without any other emotions, like a fish jumping out of the sea, everything grows under the moisture of morning dew, and the sun rises from the horizon...

When a whale falls, everything grows, and the redistribution of benefits will have a huge impact on Yanan City, which is in a period of drastic change... and even the entire Northern Federation!

Is it appropriate to use a sociology that is completely in a mortal society to explain a strong man on the extraordinary side?

It turns out that's what I really think, and it turns out that's one of the reasons why I'm doing everything I do today.

Just because I believe.

"I say that, I don't know if you can accept it."

It was a moment before he responded:
"If the things you said can really be realized, then tragedies and sufferings can be avoided, and the greed in human nature will not have a substantial impact on people...Greed died in another way."

The humanity in my eyes...is not the same as the humanity in your eyes.

But Chen Yan obviously felt that something was wrong with Ogami's situation. Chen Yan didn't know what the demigod would do when he lost control. He only knew that it would be terrible—once he denied humanity, he would deny human existence. In case he loses control because of this and starts killing...

Ogami was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.

"Yan Jun, can you understand what I mean?"

[There are bug-like things in the blood], such a description is a bit strange.

As for this kind of bug-like thing that makes people "undead", it is even more incomprehensible.

Chen Yan couldn't understand this matter at all, but he thought he didn't need to understand it either. The most important thing was that Ogami had found the clue he wanted, and that was the most important thing.

Having said that, Chen Yan probably understood Ogami's mental state today.
