Is it really the Ark of Tomorrow?

Education

“On terms? Are you saying you’re openly antagonizing me, shaming me in the media, calling me a tyrant and dictator, an enemy of the infected, and then planning to invade my lab, take my people, and Colombia The Bureau of Investigation sealed off my property together, in this case, are you going to negotiate terms with me?”

Looking at the little rabbit in front of him who had taken off his waterproof hood and kept shaking his ears, Li Lin showed a subtle smile, and said softly to the fearless little girl in front of him:

“Did you think too much of me, giving you the illusion that I wouldn’t do anything to children? Do you really think that the things they slandered me are all fake?”

“Yes, I think so. Because I don’t think Mr. Li Lin is the kind of person in the rumors.”

“…Just to say this to you, we can indeed communicate.”

Looking at the resolute little rabbit in front of him, Li Lin curled up a faint nostalgic smile, which disappeared in a flash.

How should I put it, it feels like watching my own daughter grow up. Although I have told myself many times that Amiya is not the character in your game, and Rhodes Island is definitely not the good thing you imagined, but for this kind of thing, it is not simply to contain it. of.

Although it is said that if there is a hostile scene, Li Lin will indeed mercilessly defeat the entire Rhodes Island, at most he will not watch those familiar operators die in front of him. But if it’s just a platform for communication, some words that he wants to express, Li Lin is still very happy to talk to these former operators of Rhodes Island. After all, he used to like such a world so much, and also liked the characters here.

When the character I used to like the most appeared in front of me, even if I experienced something like Jianlei, even if I witnessed the unusual side of the former operators of Rhodes Island, I knew that this was definitely not the world I was familiar with. But Li Lin still had a vague expectation for the little rabbit in front of him. Looking at this little rabbit holding her chest and taking a deep breath, and being rated as having to wear a crown, I hope she can say something that will shock me.

Of course, that’s all. Because Rhodes Island’s halberd sinking here was not decided by him, but by everyone.

“What kind of coffee do you want? Bitter? Sweet? Or a cup of hot milk for you?”

Looking at the two warring shop owners, Li Lin snapped his fingers and looked at the little girl who was not afraid at all with a smile.

“In your eyes, what kind of person should I be? What do you want from me? What do you Rhode Island want to express to me?”

“……I have no idea.”

“Huh? Don’t you know?”Hot milk, thank you.

Seeing that Amiya didn’t intend to order, Li Lin ordered a cup of hot milk for Amiya to the waiter on standby, and then looked at this little girl who seemed a little bit lost.

According to his impression, although Amiya is only fourteen years old – it is not difficult to see that the organization in Rhodes Island is actually quite inhumane, and there are minors going to the battlefield everywhere – but in terms of emotions and abilities She is relatively mature and has her own thoughts and ideas. It’s really rare to directly say that you don’t know like now.

Maybe it’s because there are still two years before the plot. After all, the time between the age of twelve and fourteen is also a huge growth. Looking at the Amiya in front of him who seemed to be in a state of confusion and just ran out, but didn’t think about what to say, Li Lin took the steaming milk, put it in front of Amiya and pushed it. Tweeted, watching the girl who seemed to be in distress give her hint.

“First of all, when negotiating, think about what you can accept and what you must not accept. What the other party can accept and absolutely cannot accept. Only by finding common ground between the two can the negotiation continue. The reason why the transaction is called Trading, that is because you need to exchange some of your own things with others to make up for your respective losses and even go further. So, what do you want from me, and what can you give?”

“I… don’t know very well. I just know that Rhodes Island shouldn’t continue like this.”

“Well, as a leader, you have really worked hard to think, but this is not the idea of ​​a leader, it is the idea of ​​an idealist. Although there is no conflict, the former should clearly list their reasons .”

Taking a sip of the steaming coffee, Li Lin looked at Amiya who sneezed a little while sipping hot milk, and looked at the misty drizzle outside the window.

The interior of Colombia’s mobile city is filled with forests of steel and concrete. When the drizzle falls, it is not as poetic as imagined, but renders the world into a muddy gray-brown.

The dim lights of the signal lights, the crowd with umbrellas, and the office workers with briefcases who are cursing are bustling forward outside the window. Of course they don’t know what will happen in this city. All they want is their own basic necessities. .

But when the basic necessities of life are satisfied, people will want more things. A capable person will use his own ability—whether it is real power or rhetoric—to deprive or oppress other people’s right to choose, to make themselves stronger, and even become a small social individual by themselves.

Rough stone craftsmen exist like this. They have powerful abilities themselves, but the ontology of society is limited. In the case of excess productivity, or when the vast majority of people who master productivity think it is enough, then the not-so-high-quality productivity will naturally be screened out. . Those patients with Originium disease are extremely unstable mentally and have certain risks, so they will naturally be listed as inferior property and oppressed.

Now, with the birth of rough stone technology and the increase in work and production requirements, patients with Originium disease will return to the public’s field of vision.

This is a cycle, a reincarnation in Terra. This is not a status quo that can be broken with words.

“So, why are you looking for me? Amiya. What is your identity to face me? I have no doubts about my path, but what about you? What is your Rhodes Island like?” ?”

“…”

The torrential rain fell, and amidst the noisy rain, the girl sipped her hot milk and lowered her head to think about her own, Rhodes Island’s, and the future of the infected.
