Honkai Biography

Vol 8 Chapter 31: Rational in success, rational in failure

"Why do you think pre-civilizations failed?"

Wutong poured a glass of local wine and handed it to Bella, indicating that she could sit down, have a barbecue and chat with him for a while.

Although Bella is only two months old, she is an adult both physically and mentally.

Even if she is underage, with her physique, drinking a few tons of wine will not cause bad effects to her body.

Urine at most.

"thanks."

Bella did not refuse. After she took it, she habitually stroked the skirt from behind the skirt with the back of her hand, and sat sideways on the bamboo chair beside her.

The breeze was blowing, and the purple flowers rippled, making people feel the refreshing coolness mixed with the fragrance of lavender, which gently lifted her hair.

The aroma of the wine is complex and fragrant. The fruity, wine and mellow aromas tend to be balanced and blended perfectly. This aroma is very different from the pre-civilization wine in Bella's memory.

Maybe different.

Perhaps, the different feelings and tastes are just an illusion brought about by the differences between the two civilizations.

In those years as a "bird in a cage", Bella could also be called a real alcoholic. At that time, she was not less drunk.

Turning around, thinking about the answer.

"There are many reasons why the former civilization lost to Honkai." Bella said slowly, "Inexperience in fighting against Honkai, the strength of the Herrscher itself, and... the infighting between humans."

Wutong agreed: "Well, you are right, but there are two most fundamental reasons not mentioned, that is, the atmosphere of despair and rational will."

"Rational will? Do you mean the broken will?" Bella was a little puzzled.

Bella can still understand the first point that Wutong said. Since the appearance of the Honkai, although the pre-civilized humans have always shouted the slogan of defeating the Honkai "on their mouths", and worked hard and fought hard for it, But in fact, many people have foreseen the complete failure of mankind.

For example: Mebius, Indus, Mei, Apollonia, Yindian... They are well aware of the ultimate fate of mankind.

The more people know about the collapse, the more desperate they are.

And this can easily lead to an atmosphere of depression and despair shrouding the entire Moth Chasing Fire, shrouding this top organization that resists collapse, which is given hope by pre-civilized humans.

It is not terrible to be in despair, but if there is no hope in the heart, the world in the eyes will surely fall into despair.

But at that time, the only hope of mankind was a group of hopeless human beings.

Therefore, the reason why the "incompetent" Padofelis can bear the name of Yingjie is not only because she is a fusion warrior, but also because this ill-fated girl can give people happiness in desperation .

Even if the disaster devoured life and civilization, and the vague happiness turned into dust, she was still struggling to maintain the happiness in front of her.

Because Padofelis is a person who can easily feel and enjoy happiness.

"The will of rationality refers not only to the will of the collapse, but also to the will of human beings." Wutong said slowly, "Don't you realize that the human beings of the pre-civilization are exceptionally rational? Whether it is Mei, Mebius, etc. Researchers in different fields, or fighters such as Kevin and Hua, are extremely rational. Of course, Huaneng is a little better than them.”

Wutong put a pair of marinated chicken wings on the barbed wire, and continued: "As the Herrschers of the pre-civilization descended one after another, the sensual side of human beings were peeled off layer by layer, until it became A rational monster.

"Think about Kevin, when he was still young and immature, he would still have a slight hesitation when choosing between one person and one city, and it was this hesitation that led to that person and that city. people are dead.

"It also led to his 'growth'.

"It's normal to hesitate because that's human nature.

"Look at Kevin now, if this 'multiple choice question' appears in front of him again, then he will kill that person extremely decisively.

"This is not to say that he has no humanity now, but that there is almost only rationality left in his humanity, and the rest is pitiful.

"And Kevin is a microcosm of pre-civilized humans."

Bella picked up a bunch of roasted vegetables and hesitated: "However, I think Kevin is right. If he is not rational and hesitates, then a whole city of people will still die."

Wutong smiled and said: "I didn't say Kevin was wrong, what I mean is that people can't have only rationality, and they can't ask themselves to make only correct 'choices', otherwise, human beings will never be able to overcome the collapse.

"Think about Dr May, did she make the wrong decision?

"Yes, but few and no harm, so why did the pre-civilization humans not go the wrong way, but still fail?"

Bella, who was eating skewers, thought about it for a while, and then said with an ugly face: "Because if people don't 'make mistakes', Houkai will not 'make mistakes'?"

Wutong said with a smile: "Hehe, yes, unfortunately, when we understood this truth, it was too late.

"When a multiple-choice question is left with only correct options, then it is no longer a multiple-choice question.

"The future path of mankind has been set, and accidents and miracles will also lose the meaning of existence.

"People's destiny is easier to be played with and dominated by gods.

"If people are ruthless, the collapse is even more ruthless.

"So, it's better not to be overly rational. If only rationality is left in human nature, it would be too simple and boring.

"Humanity is the essence of human beings, rationality is the foundation of human beings, and sensibility is the wonderfulness of human beings.

"When a person tries to abandon all sensibility, then he loses not only emotion and the qualification to be loved, but also a certain meaning of being human.

"Fortunately, no one can be absolutely rational, whether it is pre-civilization or modern civilization.

"It also proves that humans are not a hopeless species."

"..."

Bella suddenly understood why the three major organizations, Heavenly Court, Destiny, and World Snake, would use countless resources for all human beings, no matter how poor they were and how "eyeing" they were collapsed.

The happy life of human beings is based on material things. If you can’t even eat enough to eat, how can you talk about feeling good and loving others?

Unexpectedly, it turns out that "love" is really a power, a power that can influence Honkai and even overcome Honkai.

"What do you think is the meaning of life?" Wutong asked suddenly.

"..."

Bella also wants to know the answer to this question, but some questions may not be answered.

Bella took a sip of red wine, thought for a while, and said, "The word meaning is invented by human beings, and its meaning is also given by human beings. When human beings realize the existence of "meaning", then human beings will have meaning. Of course, before this, there was an objective meaning for human beings to live, but at that time, people who faced the problem of survival did not have time to think about it. "

"You said it as if you didn't say it, and it didn't sound like a fart."

"..."

Bella was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to live?"

"For fun."

"happy?"

"Well, everything I'm doing now is to live a happy life, and to live a better life day by day. If I want to overcome the collapse, it's just because the collapse makes me unhappy."

"I thought you'd say something...higher, more obscure ideals~www.readwn.com~Isn't what I'm saying lofty enough?"

"……enough."

Bella knew that it was often the easier-sounding ideal that was harder to achieve.

"Why do you live?" Wutong asked with a smile.

"……I do not know."

"Hehe, why don't you know? It's impossible for you not to know that people must have goals to live, otherwise you wouldn't owe so much money to improve yourself."

"...Maybe it's also for...happy?"

"Be specific."

"Well...the world is invincible, immortal, wives and concubines in groups, so much money that it can't be spent...um...wait for it."

Wutong nodded: "Okay, I dare to think."

"Don't you dare to think so?" Bella was a little surprised.

"Don't dare, Sakura's knife is quite sharp." Wutong took a bite of the skewer and said, "When you have a lover, you won't miss wives and concubines in groups."

"why?"

"Because you'll miss being single, man, just like that, always looking for things that you can't get right now."
