I really only stop

"Luci?!"

After waving his hand to silence the scream of the holy spear girl, Lucy stared closely at Themis' eyes:

"—However, it's not all like that."

There was a soft snap of the fingers, which marked the weight of "obtained" suddenly doubled, easily destroying the delicate balance of the balance, and leaning into the abyss on one side.

"Themis, you probably noticed it too."

Noticing that Themis' eyes began to flicker with massive data streams again, Lu Xi's mouth slowly evoked a smile:

"Different from what you imagined, this is the [truth] after fairness."

Chapter 484 The Breaking of the Wall of Logic

"What, what are you talking about?"

Her eyes flicked back and forth between Lucy and Themis very quickly, because the Holy Lance girl, who was completely confused by Lucy's explanation just now, tilted her head in confusion.

balance?weights?

I remember when we first entered Sky City, we seemed to find three weights from that stone tower, but does that have anything to do with this?

"...You are right, Commander Lu Xi."

After a large amount of data flickered, Themis's face was no longer as relaxed as before:

"However, unless you give an order, the center will not actively provide you with unfavorable results."

"That's right, then I will explain it for you and Cocoa based on my own understanding."

Knowing that Themis could not attack him at this moment, Lu Xi turned to look at Cocoa:

"Cocoa, in your opinion, what is the limit of human desire?"

"The limit of desire?"

Cocoa, who was completely confused, said subconsciously:

"Don't you all say that human desires have no limits? Even the great sages in the sanctuary who seem to have no desires and desires have feelings such as curiosity in their hearts. Just for this alone, I once asked my master , The old man said that the word "desire" is absolutely neutral, neither commendatory nor derogatory, and told me not to dwell on this too much."

"On this point, the great sages of the sanctuary are quite reliable."

Finally hearing a decent sentence from the great sages whose childcare level is zero, Lu Xi nodded in satisfaction, and then changed the subject:

"It's just that the first half of his sentence is not absolute. Human desires may not have a limit to the big, but they definitely have a limit to the small."

"Xiang Xiao?"

"Yes."

Lucy hummed:

"Even a person who has no desires or desires must have his own [desires] to some extent. This problem is difficult to define, but if you add a unit, maybe it will be easier to understand in a certain aspect .”

The balance of joyful creation quietly disappeared in the flip, and a silhouette-only human figure appeared in Lu Xi's hand:

"Using the number of people as the unit, the lowest desire of a person happens to be something that can be accomplished by [one person] alone."

Cocoa's little face was wrinkled into a ball:

"What does it mean to be alone?"

"Exactly, let me give you an example."

Noticing that Themis was recording and analyzing his own words, Lu Xi pointed to Cocoa:

"Just now, you fell into a mode of no desire and no desire similar to [Dache Dawu Buddha Life], and what did you want to do at that time?"

"Hmm... go back to your own home and lock yourself up?"

A momentary emptiness appeared on the face of the Mushroom Holy Spearman:

"It's good to be a mushroom."

Why hasn't this silly girl come out of that weird fantasy.

"Well, look, this is similar to [things that can be done by one person]."

After coughing dryly, Lu Xi continued:

"On top of that, what if your desire is even more? For example, you are too lazy to do it yourself, but you still want to eat mushroom soup?"

"Ugh...!"

Holding his head tightly, Cocoa urged himself to keep up with Lu Xi's train of thought:

"Go get someone to help?"

"Well, in this way, the so-called 'desire' that needs the help of [the second person] arises. If the desire becomes bigger and bigger, more and more people are needed, and in the end, it will directly point to [infinity] .”

Having said that, Lu Xi looked at Themis calmly:

"How? Come and judge what I have to say."

"Completely correct."

Themis bowed respectfully to Lu Xi:

"According to a certain study recorded by the central, [desire] will arise in the hearts of all intellectual beings, and the reason why desire is called desire is that it [cannot be accomplished by itself most of the time]. A person The realization of desires must be paid by more than one person, this is not a psychological problem, but a proven [Law of Reality].”

Lu Xi was not surprised by this:

"You can come to such a sure result, I'm afraid it's through your own observation?"

"Yes."

Themis gave a definite answer:

"However, the final conclusion is still up to you to say it yourself."

"--Etc., etc!"

The question-and-answer conversation has reached this point, even the autistic Mushroom Holy Spearman has noticed something is wrong:

"If, if it is true as you said, the above is not a speculation but a [law], how does the current society of Themis achieve the equal number of people in the suffering group and the pleasure group? If the energy extracted by the suffering group is not enough If the desires of the pleasure group are supplied, isn’t fairness impossible to achieve anyway?”

"—So, Themis looked for a supply source that has been in the [suffering group]."

Tuchong Dagger saw that Lu Xi's finger pointed straight at the direction where Hiyera was:

"So, Themis society is not really [fair]."

------------

"... very exciting."

The stream of data flowing around Themis was so huge that it almost concealed her body, but her voice was still clearly heard by Lu Xi and Cocoa:

"According to the research direction of the Tinder operation, the center originally wanted to build a perfect society with equal equality and absolute fairness. But when it was actually implemented, it found irreconcilable mistakes."

"If you want to adjust the environment [Between Pleasure] to a level that is completely suitable for the life forms of the Holy Light, if the number of people in the suffering group is only equal to that of the pleasure group, it will be impossible [in any case]."

"[Two] - the energy generated by two people's suffering can provide one person with enjoyment. This is the optimal solution obtained after the center tries its best to compress. It is not a philosophical problem, but a [mathematical problem]."

"Intellect is a very complicated variable. Once the issue of [rotation] and [grouping] is involved, there will be new social problems that are very different from [fairness]. It can be said that since the discovery of [1=2] Once this mathematical law begins, the Center's attempt has already been declared a failure."

"However, the holy light contained in the current leader of Themis is astonishing. Unlike the researchers who have transformed into holy light life forms and have almost absolutely equal energy in their bodies, the energy that can be activated in her body can be independent Provide half the number of people, so that the ultimate goal of Operation Tinder can be implemented—"

Themis' originally fluent words suddenly repeated disorderly like a jammed shell. At the same time, a bright red warning lit up inside the originally desolate and quiet sky city:

[Warning, the calculation amount of the center has increased abnormally, and the complete isolation cover is unstable. 】

[Warning, the preconditions required by Operation Code Tinder may be broken.Sky City Themis is very likely to have contact with the outside world without permission! 】

[Processing...Processing...There are ten and seven seconds left before solving the anomaly of the central calculation amount. Please suspend movement of all members of the facility and wait patiently for the anomaly to be processed. 】

"—How can you wait patiently!!"

Lu Xi grabbed Cocoa, who was still a little at a loss, and ran towards the exit of the egg-shaped building:

"Quick! Start running!"

PS: (→)

Chapter 485 The Strongest Spear

"Run, run?! How to do it?!"

Although I don't understand what happened, Cocoa's mentality has not yet fallen into blind optimism because of Themis' logical error:

"Even if Themis' authority over the protective shield temporarily disappears, the indestructible nature of the protective shield itself still remains?"

Cocoa remembers very clearly that depriving Themis of control can only prevent it from making the best decision when the protective shield is attacked, but this only gives a negligible possibility of defeating the protective shield. encounter more difficulties.

"—And, wasn't Themis' confusion just now faked?"

Fearing that Lu Xi would lose his mind due to the temporary victory in front of him, Cocoa hastily reminded:

"She also knows that Themis society is not absolutely fair! If so, why is she collapsed by what she knows?"

"Because we [agreed]."

Taking a meaningful look at the egg-shaped building, Lu Xi pulled Cocoa to stand in an open space outside:

"Answer me, Cocoa, what would be the one that can penetrate the strongest shield?"

"This is this-"

Cocoa's eyes rolled in circles:

"The most, strongest spear!"

"bingo."

Lu Xi grinned, and then he raised the wing-shaped beacon on his right hand high:

"You heard that too, Nova? Now, as the supreme commander of Sky City Osiris, give an order to break through the formation and the protective shield with all your strength, and open up a way for us to return to the ground!"

[It is a pleasure to hear your order again after 12 hours of signal loss, dear Commander. 】

The next moment, Nova's clear and pleasant voice sounded on the commander's beacon as promised:

[Osiris, get out. 】

--------------

On the outskirts of Rhine.

It's an excellent day.Since the opening of the trial tower, a little vitality has gradually recovered in Sky City.Although the highly mobile adventurers are far from being able to fill up the huge Osiris, they have brought the long-lost excitement and prosperity to this place.

"Lu Xi's trial tower is really a good thing!"

In exchange for the desired material from the BP system at a price far lower than that of the outside world, Cupid nodded in satisfaction:

"I don't know how this guy is doing in the sanctuary. If I were the supreme pope, and I saw Lu Xi, a male vixen who dared to attack the saint, I would definitely throw him to the last place." Going to a dangerous trial—huh? Why did the ground tremble? An earthquake?"

Looking down at his toes for a while, the pink-haired knight laughed:

"How is it possible, this is heaven—"

[Regard all citizens and outsiders who are active in Sky City Osiris, Osiris is about to undergo an out-of-range space transfer, please be prepared to deal with dizziness, vomiting and other discomforts that may be encountered next. 】

what what?Space transfer?

At some point, the super-cowardly Fenmao grabbed the street lamp at hand, vigilantly guarding everything around him.

Ordinary, no change.

Could it be that this is an Easter egg deliberately made by that fellow Lu Xi, who is afraid that the adventurers will live too comfortably in the trial tower?It's like the guild's annual fire drill, which is stinky and long, but still counts in adventurer points?

Hmph, I've seen through you a long time ago, what kind of space transfer, if such a big city can space transfer, I, Cupid, will eat this street lamp on the spot——

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

——It wasn’t that Cupid gave up halfway through his harsh words, but that Osiris, which was originally floating smoothly, suddenly trembled violently as if he had taken a stimulant.

Following this convulsive movement, the sixteen giant towers surrounding Osiris accelerated their rotation.The originally clear sky around suddenly became dim. In contrast, a huge star map composed of stars spread out around Osiris in an instant, and approached Cupid's position at a slow but firm speed.

No!It's not approaching me, but the entire Osiris is sinking towards the center of the star map!
