MTL - Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits-Chapter 221 Destruction and Humanity

"It's the same. The Chinese text of Bayi Festival W≈W≥W≥. ≠ 81．W.COM" Wen Jiubai said calmly.

"Is it the same?"

"Whether it is planning or impulsive, killing is killing. There is no excuse. When you decide to kill a homogeneous one, it doesn't matter any reason, the rest ... only instinct."

"The killing is, instinct?"

"It's instinct. That's killing intention." Wen Jiubai lowered his eyebrows. Although he talked eloquently, from the look of his expression, he was not very happy. "The mood to kill a person, and the desire to kill The mood of a group of people is the same. There is no reason to just kill it. If you quarrel with someone, you are angry, angry or sad, this can be said to be emotional. Even if you want to slap someone, you want to stab him Half-dead, that's also emotion. But if you think of 'ah, I can kill this person' when you're halfway through, the moment this thought comes into being, it has nothing to do with emotion. "

"Yes, it's just pure killing."-Wen Jiubai said.

I listened to Wen Jiubai's words and fell into confusion. Although confused, I gradually reluctantly understood.

"That ’s why I said that whether it ’s the motive for killing or finding a job, it ’s an excuse that human beings have to think of in order to maintain social stability. Only after the killing will the motive be found, whether it is the police or the killer. Will be treated as a lunatic. "

Being treated as a lunatic ... indeed.

If one thinks that killing is unnecessary, it is an instinct, and it will indeed be seen by others as a lunatic. Because his worldview is incompatible with society.

"Then, let's go back to the original topic of destroying the world." Wen Jiubai adjusted his posture to make him look more lazy. "Now you still think that there can be no purely destruction in the world. Who destroys the world? "

I started to feel uncertain. I tried hard to think of everything Wen Jiubai said, and tried to find an argument against him from his words.

After all, I still don't want to lose hope for the world so early.

"No, I still insist on what I said at the beginning." I said.

"Oh?" Wen Jiubai narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't expect me to say so, with some surprises, "why?"

"You said it before. Society is born of human selfishness, because everyone wants to live in the world, right?"

Wen Jiubai nodded.

"That said, selfishness of human nature is the root of everything. Many things that seem unthinkable, including murder, are actually just human instincts covered by social morality. I can agree with this. But destruction The world is different. "I said," Destroying the world is not the same as killing. Even if the murderer doesn't get the life of the victim, he won't get any more benefits, but he doesn't lose anything-- Er, if you are caught, you will say something else. But destroying the world is different, is it at the cost of the culprit's own life? Then, will human selfishness, or the instinct to ask for life, allow him to do this? "

"Gu Yu." Wen Jiubai looked at me with a smile, "Although I just said those things, you can't just treat humans as animals just like that."

"Hey?"

"Humans are animalistic, but they are definitely different from ordinary animals. If there is any difference, it is thinking. Only creatures in nature can think, recognize time, think about the future, and think about themselves. Where did it come from. "

I frowned. "But the monsters ..."

"Monsters are just extensions of humans." Wen Jiubai skimmed my question and continued on the topic just now. "In nature, only human beings can take the initiative and selective suicide behavior. That is, It is said that only humans, such as animals, can reach the conclusion that they should not live in the world through thinking. "

This is true ...

"So, why do you think that no one can think through it and conclude that the world must be destroyed?" Wen Jiubai looked at me.

"Will such a conclusion be reached?" I was surprised.

"Of course I do. Humans are such creatures. Although this ability to think gives people a lot of advantages, they sometimes lead people astray." Wen Jiubai said, "For example, in the process of thinking, it is very easy for humans to use Partial. "

"To be partial?"

"Take an example. Is this often the case around us? Isn't it? Young girls were originally passionate about life and had high hopes for love. But shortly after falling in love, she was split by a beloved boy. What will happen to her at this time? "

"Probably ... will feel disappointed."

"Then soon after, she finally got out of the shadow of broken love and fell in love again. However, when she was expecting the boy to release her from the sea of ​​suffering, the boy broke up with her on the grounds of incompatibility."

"Ah, so poor." I can't help but sigh.

"I'm not asking you to comment on her pitiful, do you think, what would the girl think at this time?" Wen Jiubai asked.

"Well ..." I hesitated a moment, and said, "It should feel very desperate. You might think that none of the men in the world is a good thing. Honestly, my mother thinks so."

Wen Jiubai nodded, "Yes, that's true. But you see, this girl is just meeting two bad men, but she can draw the conclusion that there are no good men in the world. This is what I said , The limitation of human thinking. Although the world is huge from a macro perspective, there are also many human beings in the world. However, no matter how the society develops and how the earth is informatized, the world everyone knows is nothing but It's a world centered on yourself. "

I nodded, and there was nothing wrong with that.

Although many people like to say something about the world, most people only describe the world they have experienced in their lives. People do n’t know about areas they have n’t touched, even if they do, they have only heard about them.

"However, the arrogance of humans makes them like to generalize through one-sided information." Wen Jiubai said leisurely. "When you meet one or two bad men, you will judge that there are no good men in the world; one or two jobs. When dismissed, you will consider yourself a useless waste person. Such extreme thoughts are spread throughout human society, so people will continue to commit suicide. Gu Yu, what is called the idea of ​​suicide is actually the end of the world of self Now. "

"What do you mean?"

"There is no hope, it's impossible, it's too useless to survive." Wen Jiubai said, "I will choose to commit suicide, and generally have such a point of view. The reason why people have such a point of view is Because his 'small world where he is' has come to an end and collapsed. In fact, for the world, there is no such thing as hopelessness, collapse and despair. The collapse is just a personal small world. That's it. "

I nodded.

"However, human beings often have the illusion that their life can affect the world." Wen Jiubai said lightly, "'I'm so sad, why isn't the sky still excited?' I'm so sad, why Is the sea still so calm? 'When this emotion deepens, it will become an anger. When this anger reaches its limit, I am afraid it will become an impulse to destroy the world. "

I looked at Wen Jiubai in surprise.

"Despair of myself, then despair of human race, and then despair of this world. Without destroying this world, I cannot express my anger, I cannot express my despair, I want to be like this The culprit should be that way. It is pure impulse, pure desire to destroy and kill. But even so, the hypocritical creature of humankind will still give itself a layer of explainable excuses. He would say I am to purify the world, to make the world no longer evil, to eradicate the evil monsters for the world, and to clean the world. In order to achieve this, someone is necessary to sacrifice. "

Wen Jiubai's eyes were dim and inexplicable, and he continued: "I don't know how small and weak human beings are for the world. Killing someone will only destroy that person's family and friends, and will have no impact on society. Even if he has the ability to destroy the entire society, there are other creatures on the earth that will multiply without human beings. Even if he takes out human nuclear weapons and destroys the entire planet, what about the vast universe? Say, it's like the sea lost a drop of water, and it has no effect. "

I stared blankly at Wen Jiubai and asked tentatively, "What you are talking about ... is not the original topic anymore?"

"No, on the contrary, we are finally back to the original topic." Wen Jiubai smiled. "You asked me what I and Bai did, and I answered you, I went to save the world."

Suddenly I realized, "So, you who said you want to destroy the world ... Could it be, that Taoist Ling Xiao?"

Wen Jiubai nodded. "We've been talking about him."

About this Taoist who has been working behind the scenes, I always have a curious and fearful mood. It is said that he is the only one who has sealed Wen Jiubai, but no matter how I make inquiries, Wen Jiubai has never mentioned this person.

It seems that this time he intends to tell me clearly, I am like a child who finally found candy, his heart beating with excitement.
