I'm mentally retarded, who asked me to join Rules Monster Talk?

Chapter 343 Man is the sum of all social relations
"……who!?"

Hearing that voice, Xiao Yi of course immediately became alert.

It was pitch dark inside the tower and nothing could be seen. Xiao Yi could only tighten his nerves as much as possible, improve his perception, and use the five senses other than vision to perceive everything around him.

If something attacks, he can react immediately.

At this moment, the voice sounded again.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, so don't be too vigilant. It will be meaningless except for consuming your own energy and attention."

"...I believe whatever you say?"

"Believe it or not, I won't do anything anyway. After all... you are not someone who needs to be excluded."

"Objects that need to be eliminated?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned and was no longer as vigilant as before, and then asked: "Who...are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am." The voice said, "What matters is...you are here."

"……I am coming?"

"Yes, you are here... However, you are not supposed to be here."

"But I'm here after all..." Xiao Yi's mouth twitched at the moment, and he said helplessly: "And... can you stop telling riddles? I don't have time to waste time with you anymore. , I want to go to the tower, if you want to stop me, stop me quickly, if you don’t want to stop me, don’t talk nonsense and get out of my way.”

"...I see." The voice said: "It is indeed a very common statement that is in line with human thinking. It can be heard from your speech... What is your purpose, and why do you have to come to the tower?"

"........."

Xiao Yi did not answer, but tried to use his own power to blow a hole out of the tower, allowing some weak light to shine through, which was slightly brighter than before.

As Xiao Yi said himself, he didn't plan to talk nonsense anymore, but started to take action directly.

However, the entire city is covered by the tower itself, and there is not much light, so the interior of the tower is still very dim at this moment, which is slightly improved by the pure darkness before.

At the same time, Xiao Yi didn't see anyone, and the guy who was talking to him didn't know where he was hiding.

"Hey...do it directly? It's such a simple and crude action." The voice continued: "This action is quite effective in human cognition, but it is a pity...here, there is no How useful it is.”

The voice paused for a moment, then continued:

"Xiao Yi, the reason why you came to the tower is because you think there are hints in the tower about why Blue Star became what it is today, as well as a way to end it all. That's why you came to the tower, right?"

Xiao Yi said: "If you know, then why do you ask?"

"I'm just confirming. In short... you are actually not sure whether your purpose can be achieved in the tower. You just think that there is a high possibility that you can understand everything by coming here, right? Then... I'll tell you the truth. To be honest, your guess is correct. All the answers are indeed placed in this tower, and it is right at the top of the tower."

"...Really?" Xiao Yi immediately asked: "Is it the top of the tower? If that's the case, where is the elevator? Tell me quickly."

"It's a pity..." the voice said: "Inside the tower, there is no elevator structure that can go directly to the top. It is better to say that there is no elevator structure at all, or even... there are not even stairs to go up. If you want to go to the tower If you want to break through, you can only forcefully break through layer by layer from the inside...

...Of course, don't even think about flying directly to the top from the outside, because any flying object from the outside will be completely destroyed by the light of the tower. Even if you fly close to the tower, you can only fly from the inside. Layer after layer of breakthroughs. "

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi was speechless. "What kind of structural design is this? It's not humane at all..."

"At the beginning of the design, there was no intention to let people arrive easily. If you want to know everything, you can only break through slowly layer by layer, but..."

At this time, the voice suddenly changed its subject.

"Now, here, there is a way that can directly get you to the top. Moreover, there is no need to pay any price. It just requires you to answer a simple question."

"...Is it true?" Xiao Yi frowned immediately, "Can such a good thing happen?"

"Of course, originally... I didn't mean to torture or embarrass you." The voice said: "As long as you can answer my question, that's enough. Then, you plan to break through layer by layer. Or answer my question here?"

"...No way." Xiao Yi scratched the back of his head. It seemed that he actually had no choice at all.

As for the questions that the other party wanted to ask him, Xiao Yi actually had a certain knowledge in his heart, so he couldn't help but become a little nervous.

"Hush...huh..."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and answered:

"Well, if you have any questions, just ask them. Of course, if it's a math question, then I can only answer you... One plus one equals eleven."

"Don't worry, it's not an academic question, I just want to ask you..."

However, before the voice had time to ask, Mr. Xiao hurriedly gave the answer.

"...To be honest! In fact, I did it too!"

"...Huh?" The voice was stunned for a moment, "What did you do?"

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi couldn't help being stunned, "Don't you know? Hiss...wait a minute, isn't that the question you want to ask?"

"...What's the problem?" the voice asked: "You have aroused my curiosity, tell me."

"No...it's nothing. Let's end this topic." Xiao Yi coughed lightly and finally let go of his suspenseful heart. He then asked: "So, what do you want to ask? Hurry up and say it." ..." The voice was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I just want to ask you, why do you...have to come to the tower and go to the top to get all the answers? "

"Huh? What else could it be because of?" Xiao Yi suddenly felt that this question was a bit puzzling, "Apart from wanting to end all of this, what else could it be because of?"

"Then..." the voice asked again: "Why do we have to end it all?"

"Your problem has troubled me." Xiao Yi said: "Do you need any more reasons? This crisis has endangered everyone on Blue Star! How could I not come to end all this? ?”

"But..." However, the voice said: "What does that have to do with you?"

"...Eh?" Xiao Yi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"...With your current ability, this huge crisis that has affected the whole world is nothing to you, right?" The voice said: "The so-called crisis does not pose a threat to you at all, then, Why do you have to spend so much time and energy trying to end it all? "Is it necessary?"

"........."

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth slightly. He originally wanted to say something, but the voice spoke again:
"Moreover, this crisis will end by itself soon. Even if you do nothing, it will still end. So... is there any reason why you have to end it yourself?"

"I..." Xiao Yi paused and continued: "So, do you mean to let me watch people die?"

"Yes... so what?" The voice said: "You... don't mean to say that you care about the lives of those... guys you don't even know, do you?"

"..." Xiao Yi fell silent.

"Your silence is a very good answer." The voice said: "Actually, you know better than me that you are not the kind of person who cares about the world and cares about everyone, right?"

"But..." Xiao Yi said: "There are still people I care about in this world. They are in danger now, and I can't ignore them!"

"...Really?" The voice laughed softly, "So, how many people do you care about? Can it exceed...one hand?"

"..." Xiao Yi was silent. Although he didn't really raise his hand to count, he was counting quietly with his thumb...

Later, Xiao Yi discovered that on Blue Star, the number of people whose names he could remember really didn't seem to exceed one hand!
"...It seems that you already have the answer in your mind."

The voice said softly to Xiao Yi:

"Xiao Yi, you are essentially a rather cold...you can even say indifferent person. In your life, you have also had contact and communication with countless people, but...you have never To have a deeper understanding of them, you won't want to know their stories, hobbies, or even their names, because you don't actually care about those people in your heart, and you even feel connected to these people... It’s very troublesome. What I said is right?”

"..." Xiao Yi was silent. This... he couldn't deny.

"In my entire life of nearly twenty years, on this planet with billions of people, the number of people who can remember their names is no more than one hand. Only if they have to be in contact for a long time, and will not let them You can barely remember the names of people who you find boring, or even people who accommodate you and satisfy your emotional requirements, right?
You remember more people in the dungeon than you remembered on Blue Star. There are even two people you met in the dungeon... Your indifference is indeed unmatched by ordinary people. "

The voice paused for a moment and then asked:

"Xiao Yi, I can assure you that those you care about will not be harmed in any way, but some insignificant people will die. You don't care about this at all, right? So... now, answer me, you Why did you come to the tower to end all this, or should I ask you."

That voice asked the most essential question.

"You obviously don't care about those so-called good names, do you? Apart from the obligations imposed on you by others, you have no reason at all to come here, right? Why...why do you have to be the savior?"

"..." Xiao Yi lowered his head and fell completely silent. He seemed not to know how to answer.

"Ha..." The voice chuckled slightly, and it seemed that he was already convinced of his victory.

However, the next moment, Xiao Yi raised his head suddenly and replied in a deep voice:
"Your question is indeed very profound. It made me ponder for a while, and then I came to the answer. I really still have to save everyone in the world!"

"...Why!?" The voice sounded a little anxious, "Those people have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Who said it doesn't matter?" Xiao Yi said: "The essence of human beings... is actually the sum of all social relationships. In other words, I am closely connected with people all over the world! This is not subject to human subjective will. Interference is an objective fact!”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yi gave irrefutable evidence!
"If almost all the people in this world are dead, and even society itself cannot sustain itself, then who will deliver the takeout when I order it? Who will fry the vegetables? Who will farm the land? No one will make TV series, movies, animations, or be mentally retarded. What should I watch? I usually like to listen to pure music! But if there are dozens or hundreds of people in a band, who will be the one to train them? What’s more, I don’t have a driver’s license and I’m traveling far away. Those who need to repair cars, those who drive cars, those who produce car parts, those who design cars, etc., there are a lot of people! Can you say... I have nothing to do with the people in this world, so what reason do I have... not to save them? "

"Uh..." The voice was obviously choked, and he could not refute Xiao Yi.

"Then, there is another reason for me to come here." Xiao Yi said: "I heard that Lao Xu is also here... Oh~ I see, you must be Lao Xu himself!"

"...Huh?" The voice made a confused sound.

"Old Xu, Old Xu..." Xiao Yi continued: "Stop pretending to be a fool, this really doesn't suit you, your character has completely collapsed."

"You..." The voice was faintly angry, "I am not Xu Yingguang, you admit your mistake!"

"Okay, Lao Xu..." Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously and continued: "Let's go back! Let's go do your favorite job!"

"…………"

"Xu Yingguang speaks!"

"I told you! I'm not Xu Yingguang!"

The voice sounded like it had broken through, and he sighed helplessly.

"That's all... I have to admit that I lost to you this time. Your mental images, thoughts, and cognition are indeed extremely powerful and difficult to defeat, even if a target is set against you. You can still break through the mental dilemma... As promised, I will send you to the top."
