Why do you always wear this dress? Do you like wearing it or…Oh, I see. Here, let me find you some clothes. You know what I like. They're all mid-range and durable goods. There aren't any bright colors. If you don't mind…Don't say that. Why won't my clothes be disliked? These clothes are all old, but they are not damaged. You can pick a few. Is what you said true? It's really rare that they are all your favorite designs. However, I can't let you take them all. It's not that I can't bear to part with them, but every piece of clothing can bring back a piece of my memories. People are different, and I'm glad that our tastes are similar, proving that I didn't choose you wrongly. Did you know? Actually, you're not the best. The other two who came in with me that day were faster than you and had better writing skills, but I chose you over the others. The reason is very simple. Your eyes are the same as mine when I was young. In any job, it was never the smartest person who achieved the best results, but the most loyal person, especially in this work that required hard work. Your heart was similar to mine. Don't thank me. Thank your life for not changing your innocence, modesty, and loyalty. Your mother must be a good person too, because a mother has the greatest influence on her daughter. I also had a good mother, but unfortunately, she didn't live to my age. She raised me like a mother, no matter how difficult life was. She said that before I was born, she lived to seek love. After I was born, she lived to let me find love. Because her love has been found, I am her love.
His father slammed the table and flew into a rage. " I want to tell you," the little prince said with tears in his eyes," I love my country, and I love you too. I am willing to sacrifice for you, and I want your love." Dad, I've hurt you. Can you forgive me? Do you still love me?"
None of the ministers said anything. They looked at the prince in surprise.
The father's eyes were filled with tears as he reached out to hug the child who was pouncing on him. He sobbed and kissed his hair. I love, I love, my good child! Daddy loves you more than Daddy's life!
The ministers happily told the king,"Glory to our king. You have already completed one of the most important things for the next 50 years!"
……
Later, the prince got love and a pony. Although the change was so arduous and long, neither the prince nor his father gave up. The father was loved and forgiven, and many years later he died in peace and contentment.
A brand-new kingdom was soon full of vitality. This was because the new king was filled with the spirit of change and love for the country. He was also a brave warrior, riding his vigorous warhorse and displaying the heroic demeanor of a king, making his country gain the respect of neighboring countries and long-term peace.
I finally heaved a sigh of relief. The golden-armored zombie had turned into a middle-aged man in his forties with a curly reddish-brown beard. Everyone cheered happily. Another fortress was broken through.
The soldiers returned to normal. They started a bonfire and sang and danced to their hearts 'content. The beauty saw that they were shy and clumsy, so she taught them to dance. First, it was the waltz, then the Indian dance, then the Mongolian dance, and finally the Hawaiian hula. Everyone liked to tap dance, but the dust raised made them give up. The beauty's dancing skills made everyone very envious and fond of her.
Leo and the King sat by the bonfire and chatted. Leo: How does it feel to be king?
"The pressure is great, but it also feels sacred. Every move, every word, and every action had an impact on the entire country and the people. You could only pray that God did not bring bad effects, but did you know that it was difficult to distinguish between them, and it was not easy to hear the right opinions from others.”
"Aren't there so many ministers helping you?”
"Ministers have always been divided into two sides, one on the left and one on the right, or three sides, but they never stand on one side. He had to judge everything by himself, whether it was left or right.”The King made a gesture.
"What about the third side?"
"Silence. When they couldn't guess what you meant, some people chose to remain silent, even if they had a clear faction.”
"Why?"
"Protecting yourself is the most important secret of work and also the secret of battle.”
"They should be loyal to the country. Isn't it unfair to you and disadvantageous to the country to remain silent?”
"I thought so too, but then I understood. Too many foolish kings could not tolerate different opinions. Loyalty often meant being killed, exiled, or imprisoned for no reason.”
"Therefore, only by protecting yourself can you serve the country for a longer period of time and not be wasted.”
"You are very smart, but there are also some ministers who are incompetent or have ulterior motives. A king must always suspect all his ministers and find such a person.”
"Is that tiring?"
"Of course. However, after a long time, he was not tired anymore. On the contrary, it became a form of entertainment. You would find that you could see through their thoughts behind their clothes with every word they said. You would feel that you were very smart.”
"Is that very difficult?"
"There's nothing that a smart person can't master. It depends on whether you want to or think it's worth it. If you saw through one thing, you could see through another. It was the same for people. Everything was related to people. This is like a complicated game."
"Another game! Why did adults like to use games as an explanation?”
"Did anyone else say that?"
"It's the God of War that we're going to destroy.”
"Everyone who runs the big picture has this feeling. I will only tell you one thing. The most important thing is that when you play any game, you have to be completely in the game and completely out of the game. This is the secret of victory."
The swindler leaned over and said, Leo, let me tell you the secret to guarding against swindlers.
"I got two secrets in one day.”
"The secret is that you must never have greedy desires or excessive needs. Also, you have to rely on yourself for everything. Don't expect others to bring you anything.”
"For example?"
"If you want to get a treasure but only want to buy it for half the price or less, there will be many fake treasures. If you want to do something that you think is illogical, if others say that they can do it for you and the price is not high, you will definitely be deceived. Ideals were the pursuit of everyone, but if one thing was too idealistic, it was mostly a scam. Truth and good things were never cheap. Everything was worth it. It was not impossible to find gold in the trash, but you have to remember that the probability of this was as low as being hit by a meteorite. And you don't have to worry. There are countless heads on Earth, and a gold-like meteorite will never hit your head.”
"I don't understand."
"Liars are like this. They usually hide their emotions and rarely get angry. Her voice was gentle and magnetic, and her words were clear and flawless. He often made big things small and small things big. They made friends with everyone and left a good impression, but they always got in their way and made things difficult for those who saw through them. They were not greedy for small benefits and often gave small favors because they wanted to obtain greater benefits.
At first, they kept you at a distance, making you feel that they had no intentions towards you. Then, he would find an opportunity to approach you, pay attention to your details, expressions, and actions, capture your inner thoughts, and attack your fragile side, making you feel that he could make up for your shortcomings. Or cater to your preferences and unknown hobbies, making you feel like you're bathing in the spring breeze, and it's hard to find a soulmate. Once you develop emotional trust in them or relax your guard, they will design a trap for you. These traps were often reflected in details that ordinary people did not pay attention to. By the time you discovered their conspiracy, they would usually have disappeared long ago.”
Leo: Can you give me a specific example?
King: Isn't he a concrete example? Haha!
Liar: Don't make fun of me. I'm fierce when I'm angry!
Beauty: You don't have to worry about him anymore. You don't have to listen to any secrets.
Liar: But I can't be with you forever. You have to identify it yourself.
I said,"It doesn't matter. I'll be with him forever and remind him."
The King smiled and said,"You can't talk nonsense. There will be consequences!"
Beauty: Hey, hey, okay, don't mislead young men and women.
I said,"What are the consequences?" He will never abandon me, right?
The Mirror Demon quietly reminded me not to ask, silly.
Everyone laughed. Leo also understood and looked shy. I was the only one who didn't understand.
……
The king called the beauty to the side and wanted to talk in private. The swindler stopped him and said,"Do you still want to occupy a lady's time like a king?" I have the responsibility to protect her.
The king smiled and said,"Then you have to ask this lady if she likes power or handsome looks."
Beauty: I like both, but I prefer to live well.
The three of them laughed.
King: I just want to apologize for what I said at the party.
"You didn't say anything wrong. Sister's talent is indeed more important than my beauty.”
"I thought you were angry with me."
"That was in my previous life. Why are you still bringing it up? Do you still want to pursue me again?"
"But I have nothing."
"Right now, I only value loyalty. Which warrior would be willing to keep watch for me? That would be so…"
The swindler and the king both raised their hands.
[Beauty: Two people on night watch, double the sense of security!]
The liar and the king looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
……
At daybreak, they packed up and set off. Walking in the dense forest, Leo felt like he was being observed by many eyes in the dark. He hoped to leave the forest as soon as possible. The beautiful woman was thirsty and asked the cowboy for water. The Cowboy sent a soldier to fetch water not far away. Not long after the soldier left, he heard a scream. Everyone rushed to the rescue.
When he got close, he saw a large pack of wolves tearing his clothes crazily. The soldier's weapon had long been thrown to the side. He used his hands to cover his body weakly, and his body was covered in blood. The cowboys led the soldiers to fight the wolves, and many soldiers were injured.
Leo saw that the situation was not good and ordered everyone to retreat. Everyone retreated and fought at the same time. They retreated to the river below, and there was no way out. The wolf pack gritted their teeth and came menacingly. The beauty almost fell into the rapid river. Fortunately, she was pulled back by the king and the swindler, and her skirt was wet.
There was no way out, and the hungry wolves were still pressing on, no one could do anything. Everyone realized that a life-or-death battle was inevitable, and the outcome was uncertain.
Leo raised his scimitar and was about to shout " Charge " when he heard a loud roar from the forest. Everyone trembled in fear. Leo looked over and saw a huge black bear running towards him. Everyone was in complete despair. Their legs were weak, and their arms were trembling.
The black bear pounced forward, and the wolves turned around to surround the black bear. The black bear stopped in its tracks, stood up, spread its arms, and roared again. Both sides glared at each other, neither willing to give in, and they were in a deadlock.
Suddenly, the wolves attacked the black bear. The black bear swung its arms and fought with the wolves. Leo's confidence increased and he ordered everyone to charge. The pack of wolves was immediately at a disadvantage. Many wolves were thrown to the ground by the black bear and were seriously injured. Then, they were stabbed by the boy scouts and immediately died. The remaining wolves saw that something was wrong and limped away in panic.
After the battle ended, Leo looked around. The soldiers were all injured, and the severity was different. Dark red blood dripped from the black bear's fur. The black bear lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Leo bandaged the black bear's wound and fed it a large piece of wolf meat that the soldier had cut off. He smiled and touched the black bear's face affectionately. The black bear blinked its eyes tiredly and chewed the meat slowly, looking at him in a daze.
Later, the black bear recovered its strength and stood up in pain. Everyone bowed deeply to it. Leo knelt down on one knee in front of the black bear. The black bear picked up the wolf's leg and carried the dead wolf on its back as it walked into the forest.
Everyone rested by the river and felt that if they had not let Black Bear go back then, they could imagine the outcome today. Everyone had more respect for Leo.
Gong Gong and Viper came to inspect the camp, and the children stood in a messy square formation.
Viper: Your Majesty, do you have any instructions?
Gong Gong smiled mysteriously and said,"Why do human beings struggle all their lives?"
Viper thought about it and said confidently,"To satisfy material desires and lust."
Gonggong smiled and didn't say anything.
The snake timidly said,"To prove that I'm smart or more valuable?"
Gonggong shook his head and said,"For the child."
Viper said unwillingly,"But many people don't care about children at all. They only know how to enjoy themselves and even abandon their children."
Gong Gong said," Don't talk about your own kind. Do you know how to make humans despair?"
Viper said confidently,"That's easy. Let them starve until they can't walk!"
Gong Gong laughed and said,'No, the only way to make them despair is to destroy their children.' Do you know how to destroy a child?
Viper looked at the miserable scene in the concentration camp and said," Isn't it enough to lock him up here?
Gong Gong laughed,'A miserable life can destroy the weak, but it can also make the strong.' There was a type of destruction that no one could resist, and that was corrosion.
" Biological weapons?!" Viper looked at him in confusion, wondering if he was that fierce.
"You remind me. Destroy all biological weapons, including nuclear weapons. This was a dangerous thing created by stupid humans. If they were not careful, they could destroy the entire Earth. Do you remember?"
I'll definitely do it. Viper was relieved. Then, he asked," What does corrosion mean?"
"Cold, numb, harsh, lonely, spoiled…"
Viper cried out in surprise,"Great!"
"None of us can do it!"
Viper swallowed his saliva and asked,"Then what do you mean?"
"Alcohol, drugs, tobacco, violence…"
Why didn't I think of that? Viper suddenly realized and shouted. Then, he smiled wretchedly and whispered," There's also eroticism."
Gong Gong angrily cursed, Shameless! Was this not enough?
Enough! Enough! Viper was scared out of his wits, blinking his eyes and pretending to be pitiful.
"If it's not enough, use hypnosis to brainwash them.”
" Listen up," Viper shouted to the children." His Majesty has mercy on you. From tomorrow onwards, we will distribute liquor, cigarettes, and drugs for free." Your lives will be rich and colorful from now on!
The children looked at each other and then at the poisonous snake, feeling puzzled.
Viper asked in confusion,"Don't you understand?" Haven't you tried? Those who have tried, raise your hands!
Many people raised their hands.
Viper cursed,"You tried but still pretended not to know!" I'm not a teacher or a parent. Don't give me that. Hurry up and express your gratitude to the almighty and merciful God of War!
The children shouted in unison,"God bless our king, long life!"
Gonggong asked Viper in surprise,"Have you rehearsed it?"
Viper replied obsequiously,"When a leader is inspecting, he has to rehearse in advance. Didn't you always say that you want to learn from humans?" I've been reading a lot recently.
"I hate fake formalism the most. Why don't you learn something good?”
"Oh, Your Majesty, it's time. It's time to go to the next place, the excavation site of the Heart of Darkness.”
Let's go. Gonggong turned around and left.
The children shouted,"Congratulations to our king, Fu Tai!"
Gong Gong frowned, shook his head and gave a long sigh.
……
They came to the altar behind the palace.
An unfathomable hole was dug out in the center of the Earth Altar. Hundreds of prisoners were busy with construction. Mud and muddy water made the entire historical site dirty.
Gong Gong stood on the altar and took a deep breath of the air here, imagining the scene of the emperors worshipping the gods.
"Do you know why the Earth Altar is square?”
Viper scratched his head and thought, Square?
Gong Gong sighed and said,"The ancients believed that the sky was round and the earth was square. The round altar of heaven was used to worship the sky, and the square altar of earth was used to worship the earth. The two altars echoed each other from afar."
"Your Majesty is really knowledgeable!"
"Do you know why humans respect the heavens so much but not the earth?”
The viper tried to say: the sky is above, people have to look up; And the ground was below, so people had to look down, so…?
"The sky is fickle, but the earth is eternal. The sky was filled with thunder and lightning, and the earth was silent. The sky is far away, and the earth is in it. The more changeable, violent, and distant it was, the more humans would feel that it was mysterious and worship it. The serene, quiet, and close ones were despised. Just like how a father's love was appreciated, a mother's love was often pitied.
To rule mankind, one must understand human nature. Human nature was lowly. They despised simple and peaceful lives, but they liked to pursue impetuous and changeable illusory dreams. On the other hand, humans were naturally inferior and lazy. They liked to be controlled and oppressed by some kind of power, but they gave up on the simple freedom of life. Because freedom meant many life possibilities, loneliness, hesitation, uniqueness, and confrontation. Reliance gave people a sense of security. That is why we were able to rise and rule the world.”
"Your Majesty has spent a lot of effort studying humans.”
Gong Gong looked at the creepy bottom of the cave and growled with resentment and grievance," I did all this to prove to Fuxi that I, Gonggong, am the best successor! He denied my talent and ignored my existence! He had to pay a huge price for this!
I've got a new toy for you. Viper wanted to calm Gong Gong down, so he took out something from his pocket and gave it to him.
Gong Gong's eyes lit up as he asked,"What is this?"
"It's a strange human toy called the Rubik's Cube.”
"How?"
Six sides, six colors, mess it up like this…The viper took the Rubik's cube and messed it up, and then it was completely messed up, and then it was restored.
"Restore it for me."
"This subordinate is useless. I haven't recovered even after playing for a few days. That's why I think it should be suitable for you to play.”
"Is it over just by recovering?"
"After passing this stage, you can still challenge the speed record.”
"What's the record?"
"You can play with it first. I'll go back and look for it for you.”
Gong Gong fiddled with the Rubik's cube and followed Viper back to the palace.
Leo came to a canyon. The cliff was tall and covered in moss. Looking up, he saw a narrow strip of sky. The ground was filled with rocks, and there seemed to be many struggling monsters in the darkness, making people shudder. A pair of giant pincers emerged from behind the rock and quickly drilled into the crevice. A small piece of stone rolled down from the cliff. The crisp sound echoed continuously, as if it had fallen into a dry well.
Everyone held hands and supported each other as they slowly moved forward. The Cowboy walked in front and heard the sound of friction and panting. He looked up, but he was so scared that he fell to the ground. A huge black shadow was jumping back and forth on the cliff. It was vigorous and agile, like a monkey, but three times bigger than a monkey.
The black shadow realized that he had been exposed. He snorted and jumped up to the top of the cliff. The Cowboy whispered to Leo,"Boss, I saw a big monkey with black fur all over its body. It's watching from above." We have to be careful.
Leo: Tell everyone to hurry through the canyon. Don't stop.
Leo opened the map and saw that the fortress was in this canyon. His heart was beating fast and his face was pale. He did not tell anyone that the fortress was in front of him. He had an ominous feeling. After all, the terrain here was too dangerous. Not to mention an evil spirit, even if a person wanted to defend, it would probably be very difficult for them to pass through.
Everyone's skin was itchy, and some pink bumps grew out. The canyon was too long. He could only endure the water. He did not know how long he would have to walk in this dark and humid place.
There was a big rock blocking the way, and the vision was dim, so the Cowboy didn't pay much attention. He leaned on the stone and wanted to go around it, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was the stone soft? He looked carefully and realized that a pair of red eyes on the stone was also looking at him. The Cowboy immediately ran back and shouted," A monster, a living stone!
Leo hugged him and shouted, Are you an evil spirit?
The stone didn't speak, nor did it move. Leo used the back of his knife to knock on the stone. The scimitar was grabbed by a pair of black hands and snapped in half.
That's too rude. You should always give me a small gift for the first time, right? Stone's arms shook, and a lot of black skin fell off his body, turning into small and black sticky worms that quickly drilled into their exposed skin. It was extremely itchy.
Leo quickly asked the Mirror Demon,"What is this?"
Mirror Demon: This is the wet bug magic. Let me check. Oh, I found it. It's the wet bug magic. It burrows into the skin and itches unbearably. It will cause the victim to scratch their skin and die from blood poisoning.
I said,"Hurry up and think of a way."
Mirror Demon: The solution is to shine a strong light, but there is no strong light here.
Cowboy: Don't you glow?
Mirror Demon: Why didn't I think of that? I'll give you the sunshine of the equator.
Suddenly, a scorching sun appeared above their heads, about to scorch everyone. The sticky worms on his body instantly turned into ashes. The moss on the cliff had also dried up, rolling up and falling down in large patches. The stone evil spirit closed its eyes and covered them with its arms. The black skin peeled off, revealing a deformed body that was half human and half horse.
The deformed monster spat out a spike and shot it into Leo's left chest. He fell to the ground, foaming and rolling his eyes.
I shouted,"Oh no!"
" Mirror Demon: Let me check. Flesh Arrow Magic. Anyone who gets poisoned will die." The victim would fall into a deep coma and be unable to extricate himself from anger. After a long time, he would die.
I'm ready. Let's begin. I entered Leo's consciousness.
Leo: The adults don't believe me. They blame me, scold me, and say I lost the genealogy.
I said,"If it's lost, so be it."
"It records our history, and there is only one. If the genealogy is lost, our ancestors will be forgotten, and there is no need to record our history. We will all be forgotten.”
"What does that matter? We're not great people."
"No, we will lose our identities. Our children will not know who they are or where they came from.”
"Why did they say that you took it?”
"Because my father said that he did something bad and became a bad person. They hate him."
"What did he do? Why do they hate him?"
"The children can't go to school. The school is gone, and the teacher is gone.”
"What happened?"
"The chemical plant discharged sewage into the sea. My father reported it and shut it down.”
"Your father did the right thing. Why don't they understand him?”
"The sea belongs to the country, and the school belongs to us.”
"If the seawater is polluted, the fishermen will also suffer.”
"The sea is very big and there are many fish. I can't see any effect.”
"Can contaminated fish still be eaten?"
"Fishermen don't eat, they only sell."
"Then won't the people who buy fish get sick?”
"People will always get sick."
"Isn't this very selfish?"
"People who buy fish also sell us pork and vegetables that will make us sick.”
"Fainted! Then your father can reason with them.”
"It's useless. They didn't break the law. They didn't allow the children to play with me, saying that I was the child of a bad person and that I was a thief.”
"Didn't you not take it?"
"I only gave it to Uncle Madman. He used it to play with fire and burned it."
"Then you really are a thief."
"I didn't burn it?"
"You were the one who gave it to him. You shouldn't have done that."
"But my father was right, but he was written as a bad person.”
"These are two different things. It was their fault that they did wrong, and it was your fault that you did wrong.”
"I don't know what to do. I just think it'll be fun.”
"Are you happy?"
"I'm not happy. I feel like I'm a bad person like them.”
"You're not a bad person, and neither are they. It's just that they've all done something wrong, and they have to correct their mistakes.”
"There's no way to change it. The genealogy has been burned."
"You can apologize to them."
"Never!"
"You must apologize. Only then will your mistake be corrected.”
"Why didn't they apologize to my father? Why didn't they apologize to me?”
"These are two different things. Apologizing is to save yourself."
"I won't be able to raise my head in the future.”
"Only in this way can you be free, can you be yourself again, and can you be happy.”
"Can I?"
"You can. This was a chance in life. Seize this opportunity to change.”
"What will others think of me?"
"You don't live with others, but with yourself. You are not living in history, you are living in reality. As long as he did it right, it didn't matter what others thought.”
"But how do I tell them apart? What was good and what was bad? Wasn't it everyone's evaluation?”
"No matter how many people there are, they will still make mistakes. You have to act according to the truth and judge right and wrong.”
"If the truth exists, why can other children go to school but we can't?”
"There is a distance between reality and truth. That is why we must strive to change reality and strive for reality to be consistent with truth.”
"How? We can't go to school."
"As long as you have faith, anything is possible. He could study on his own, or he could ask the country to invite teachers back.”
"The country is too far away to care about this place. We have long been abandoned.”
"Every person is a country. Every inch of land and grain of sand is a country. The country is us. If he didn't fight for it, how would he know that he couldn't get it? Everyone has the right to learn."
"We are the country? We can change fate?"
"Didn't your father change the fate of the fishermen and stop evil?”
"But he was very sad and somewhat regretful.”
"Everyone has their moments of loneliness and uncertainty. Humans are fragile animals. It is precisely because of this that we have to encourage each other and not let the light be swallowed by the darkness.”
"I understand. I'll ask my father to write again and fight for our return to class.”
"I'm glad you understand, you're smart.”
"I still have to apologize to my clansmen. I still have to re-record the genealogy."
"Remember to write your father as a good person.”
" I won't comment on anything. I'll only write down the matter word for word. As for what others think, I think history will give a fair evaluation.”
……
Leo woke up and ordered everyone to retreat to a hidden place far away.
I entered the evil spirit's past and repeated," He was born deformed and ugly. He was abandoned by his parents and grew up in an orphanage. Men laughed at him, women avoided him, and children were afraid of him. He could not go to school to study, so he self-taught and invented many strange scientific results. Oh, so he was a genius! He wanted to enter the university laboratory. The principal had sent someone to tell him that there were many elites in the university. An ugly freak like him with strange knowledge would be laughed at. He was deeply shocked and lived alone in the laboratory.
Later, he fell in love with a poet. He invented a machine that could cure mental defects. He also invented a dream drug and sold it to a swindler. In the end, the swindler was killed as a test subject. It was an accident. The genius was later captured by the soldiers, and the bishop declared that his invention and science violated the will of God and killed people, so he was executed.
I said,"Beauty, why is that poetess exactly like you?"
Beauty: She is my twin sister.
Leo: How can a bishop judge? Wasn't it the King's Judgment?
King: The bishop has the Inquisition. I try criminals, he tries heresy. I rule actions, he rules thoughts.
Cowboy: Who are the heretics? Someone who looked different?
King: A person who goes against the teachings of religion and goes against God. Geniuses who came up with strange scientific research were not good for religious dominance, especially that machine that healed the mind.
I said,"Help me find the key."
King: It would be fine if he didn't build that machine. That machine is the key to his fate. It should be the key.
Leo: You should start from his childhood. All three of your keys were found in your childhood.
King: Let me teach you another secret of the game. There are no absolute rules in the game. We have to act according to the situation. Experience is sometimes the most unreliable.
Beauty: Let's see why he made this machine.
I said, Mirror Demon? Alright…He had originally built a machine to treat physical defects. Later, the poetess told him that even if the physical defects were cured, ugly people would be discriminated against. Even if everyone was beautiful, those who were averagely beautiful would be discriminated against by those who were more beautiful. You can't make the world perfect, because the standards of perfection are endless. The key was to get rid of this discrimination. Healing the defects of the mind was far more important than healing the defects of the body. Therefore, the genius figured it out and invented a machine to treat mental defects.
This was what the genius said to the scammer." I don't have the antidote for the dream drug, but I have a machine that can make you happy and stop you from cheating." The swindler was very happy to hear that and did as he said. Then, something happened.
King: Try to stop him from building this machine.
Mirror Demon: This is the end of the conversation between the genius and the poetess.
I entered the past of a genius.
I said, What are you doing?
"So this machine is used to treat the body. I plan to change it to treat the mind. It'll be done in two years."
"Is it that valuable that you have to spend so much time and energy? Wasn't his previous efforts in vain?”
"It's very worth it. I can use it for a lifetime.”
"The Inquisition will try you. Aren't you afraid of the death penalty?"
"My life is worthless. It's only valuable if I build this machine well.”
"Why do you despise life? Life was so precious. It only came once in a lifetime.”
Genius raised his head and smiled, Precious? Being looked down upon, having no one to talk to, being hated and feared, living in loneliness and despair, waking up every day with a cold heart, did you want such a life?
"You have a poetess. She loves you."
"She has long lived in another world. Her heart has long been cold.”
"Then…"
"Stop talking. I'm very calm. I know the consequences. You should talk to someone else."
"It seems that I can't make him stop. He's very stubborn. He still had to go to his childhood to take a look. Mirror Demon?"
"Yes, Princess."
"He was never happy. He had no companions in his childhood.……Let's see when he started scientific inventions. Okay, he had been playing with all kinds of things since he was two years old. He often broke and repaired them.……Oh, I forgot. He's a genius.……Although he didn't communicate with others, he was having fun alone and wasn't that stubborn. Mirror Demon, look at when he started to be unhappy. Well, one day, he met a doctor. Not long after, he left him. And then…"
Leo interrupted," Wait, Doctor. Look at his experience with the doctor. He might be the key."
I said,"Okay, Leo." He met the doctor at the grocery store. The doctor was amiable and sympathetic to his plight, and invited him to work in his laboratory. He was in need of a small laborer. However, there was no salary, and food and accommodation were included. Genius happily agreed.
The genius had been working happily in his laboratory and got along well with him. He often asked his wife to make good food for geniuses. The genius was not unhappy. Alright, stop. Mirror Demon replayed.
The doctor had a beautiful daughter who was about the same age as a genius. The doctor did not allow her to go to the laboratory, saying that it was not safe there. Her daughter was originally afraid of geniuses, but geniuses often made many little things for her to play with, and slowly accepted geniuses. Not long after, Genius left and became very unhappy. The Mirror Demon played it too fast.
One day, the genius gave her a piggy bank made of plaster. She accidentally broke it and saw a small note inside. She gave the note to her father. Dad stormed into the lab and said,"You're not allowed to talk to my daughter again, do you hear me?" The genius was so aggrieved that he cried.
A few days later, her daughter came to Genius and asked him to make a glass butterfly for her. Genius made one seriously, but when he handed it to her, the doctor found out. The doctor roared at him. Genius felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. The daughter tugged at the corner of her father's clothes and told him that she had asked for it from a genius. The doctor said that it wouldn't do! Her daughter could not enter the house. Genius returned to the laboratory and cried. Then he left and became unhappy.
The swindler sighed,"Sigh, there's no other way. Who asked him to look so scary!"
Leo: Why won't the doctor let them talk?
Liar: It's all because of that little note! Let me guess, he must have said something like," I like you, you're my little angel, I want you to marry me when I grow up."
I said,"Let me see…Yes, you're amazing!"
King: The doctor will not allow such a relationship. Not only the doctors, but no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.
Leo: They're too young to call it a relationship.
King: " But there's a possibility of it developing into a relationship. As a father, I'll always be on guard against such risks and protect my daughter." The doctor was very cultured. He did not express it clearly, afraid that it would hurt his self-esteem.
Leo: The doctor is also very good to him.
King: A doctor needs a genius and sympathizes with him. He also needs to understand what it feels like to be a good person, but he will never be unable to distinguish between being a good person and being a saint.
I said,"What boundary?"
Liar: Saints have to sacrifice for the truth, but good people can be a little selfish.
Cowboy: I've always heard that no one is a saint. Doctors can't be wrong.
Leo: But what he did ruined the life of a genius.
Liar: It's not entirely his fault. He just took the pass from the crowd and made a beautiful shot. Unfortunately, the ball went in!
I said: Who would think so much?
King: So there is no end to the tragedies in the world. We can never be sure which words and which things will be passed, let alone when the final kick will be kicked.
Beauty: What if he turns a blind eye? After all, it was just a child's game.
Liar: Doctor, you have to know how rational people in this profession are. Their logical thinking will think ten thousand years in the future.
I said, well, we can't change people's behavior. It was better to enter the consciousness of a genius. Mirror Demon, you and I are getting more and more coordinated."
Mirror Demon: Of course, I'm ready for your call, Your Highness.
Alright, let's begin. I said to the genius, what are you doing?
"Leave this place. They don't like me, so I have to go.”
"It's not that they don't like you. It's just that the doctor felt that the note you wrote was very dangerous. You are growing up, you are in an unstable phase.”
"I just said what I thought. I didn't expect her to see it so quickly.”
"You still want her to see it. Otherwise, why would you write a note?”
"Is it wrong for me to like her?"
"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that it's not appropriate to do so.”
"I know what you want to say. Do you want to say that I still want to fantasize about the doctor's daughter?”
"No, no, that's not what I meant.”
"Do you think I haven't thought about it? Do you know how determined I was to put the note in? You will never understand my feelings. I thought that I would be happy living alone. I didn't need anyone to accompany me. I had my own little world. But ever since I met her, I realized that it was impossible. I need her to chat with me, I need her to let me make gadgets for her, I need her to push open my door and tell me to eat. I even need her to be mischievous and bully me. My world is no longer peaceful. Because of her, I felt so empty, as if I had never lived. But when we grow up…"
"Then why did you write a note?"
"It's like buying a lottery ticket. Do you think you can win the big prize?”
"The possibility is very small, but most people will try. After all, it was just a small price to pay to try out a very, very big dream.”
"That was how I felt at that time."
"I understand you a little now. But you know that it's impossible, so there's nothing you can't let go of. Why must you leave?”
"I'm in despair."
"There are always opportunities in life. Never give up hope!”
"Except for my life."
"Don't be so pessimistic. It was impossible for the doctor's daughter, but it might be possible for someone else.”
"I'm in despair not because of anyone's daughter, but because of myself. I am an abandoned person. No one needs me, no one likes me, no one thinks that I still exist in this world. I made a very serious mistake! I shouldn't have come to this world and suffered these cold gazes and merciless ridicule. I just couldn't make up my mind to die. I hated myself for not having the courage. I want to return to my small world and live a life of peace and contentment.”
"But you are a genius. You have a gift from the heavens, but others don't.”
"What else can I do besides making some weird stuff?”
"You will make many inventions in the future that will change the lives of humans. You are a very valuable person.”
"Is that so? I can invent many things?"
"Of course. Didn't you learn a lot of experimental methods and techniques? You can use it in your own experiments.”
"So what if you have those inventions? I'm still a person that no one wants.”
"Must there be someone to accompany you to have the meaning of life? Besides, you're a child. You still have a long life ahead of you. Who can say that you definitely don't have one?"
"I've already seen my entire life. Loneliness, eternal loneliness.”
"You're too pessimistic. Not everyone valued appearance, but a pessimistic person would never be liked.”
"I still have a chance?"
"You're not good at communicating with people, and you're not good at expressing your feelings and thoughts because you've been avoiding them. You've set the conditions there. This guy, look, he won't like me.”
"Isn't it? Has anyone ever loved me?"
"Then let me ask you, do you love yourself?”
"I hate him. I love the smart half and hate the ugly half.”
"Then have you ever thought that many people are like this?”
"Don't joke around like that. I'm not an idiot.”
"I'm not joking. Many people are half beautiful and half stupid. Do they hate themselves too?"
"They are beautiful, so why do they hate themselves? If it were me, I wouldn't think so."
"They're thinking the same thing-they're smart, why would they hate themselves? They also hope to have geniuses like you. They can use such geniuses to create value and get rid of mediocrity.”
"Is that so? I've never thought about it."
"Does the world change because of beautiful appearances?”
"Of course not, but life is different. A beautiful appearance was very important in life.”
"A beautiful but stupid person, others will first be attracted by his appearance and then quickly abandon him because of his stupidity. The body was just a bottle that carried the soul. Would you drink stinky water because of a beautiful bottle? Also, whether he liked it or not depended on what it was used for. Of course, they had to choose decent and beautiful decorations to show off and decorate. The tools used for work and labor, of course, had to be sturdy and durable. Friends who could comfort one's heart should be honest and trustworthy. As a lover who knew each other well, of course, he had to choose someone who was considerate and long-lasting.”
"If anyone can love me, I will definitely be considerate and long-lasting.”
"It's good that you're prepared, but you've never closed your heart and mind, so you've never let anyone understand you. They can't see your heart, so they don't want to associate with you because of your ugly appearance.”
"How can we communicate and understand each other?”
"Does the doctor know about your genius? Does her daughter understand your heart? Have the children in the orphanage made friends with you?”
"I've never talked to them, I'm afraid they'll look at me pitifully.”
"The problem lies with you. You reject others, and when you want to accept them, you're afraid to try to communicate with them.”
"No matter how I change myself, some things are still impossible, right?”
"Some things don't have to be forced. You're not in love, you just like him. You haven't even communicated with each other, so how can you love each other?”
"Yeah, I just like her.”
"Liking and loving are different. Although I couldn't say exactly, I had liked male classmates before. It couldn't be compared to the feeling of loving my parents.”
"I've never had the feeling you mentioned. I don't have parents.”
"Then go and find it. Enrich your life experience and feel the beautiful things.”
"Can you find the love of your parents?”
"Being an orphan is already a reality, but if you love your child well, won't you experience the love of your parents?”
"I can still have children?"
"Of course. Is this a very high goal?”
"Not high for me either?"
"If you continue to seal yourself off, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.”
"If I had a happy family, I would cherish it very much. However, what I want to do the most is to cure my abnormality. I'm willing to pay any price for this, even my life.”
"Of course, this is also a dream, but you can't fall into the trap of fate.”
"You mean I can't be bound by my body's defects, right?”
"No wonder you're a genius. Come, do it with me. Close your eyes and think of something you like the most.”
Genius closed his eyes and smiled.
I said, What did you see?
"I'm flying."
"Where are you flying to?"
"I flew towards a grassland. I felt like an eagle, flying very high.
So I fly, fly, plateau, land, mountain, lake, sea
I became the sail, the reef, the waves, the wind, the island,
I turned into fish, coral, sand, seaweed, conch…"
I was about to say something when Leo stopped me. The evil spirit had disappeared!
I said, I don't know what happened to him after that. He looked again. Later, he invented a hot air balloon aircraft and sold the design of this aircraft to a company, earning a lot of money. He traveled around the world and met a blind girl during his travels. They fell in love and got married, giving birth to a pair of cute twins.
The blind girl said to others,"This man has a house, is rich, can take me around, and is good to me. I'm not worried about others snatching it from me." Where could he find such a marriage?
Genius changed back to his original appearance and came over to greet everyone. His back was high, his eyes and cheekbones were high and angular, his skin was rough like sandpaper, his head was covered in scabies, and his limbs were unnaturally bent like dried branches.
King: No matter how good life was later on, it was a pity that no one could experience it.
Leo: What's going on? Didn't your lives change?
" I forgot to tell you. I'm sorry," the Mirror Demon said." They won't be able to experience the rest of their lives. They've already entered a wandering state."
I said,"Then who is experiencing their changed lives?"
Mirror Demon: It's them too, but not the ones sitting with you. In other words, when they were chatting with you, there was another one of them in the past, experiencing their changed life. Because they had already experienced death, which was the result. They were the result of the influence of their past experiences. If you changed their experiences, you would change their results, and they would no longer exist. Their painful lives in the past were inevitable trials, and the effects of them becoming evil spirits on you were also trials. Everything was a trial, so they were all on the same chain. Once a link in the chain changed its trajectory, everything below would change. Therefore, when they changed their lives, another one of them appeared to replace them so that their destiny could be fulfilled. And the new one would also experience the complete process of life, including death.
The more they listened, the more confused they became.
" Mirror Demon," he said." Just remember that they were given special permission by God. Don't worry too much. Human logic doesn't work in front of God." When the time was right, he would naturally understand.
I said,"Genius, how do you feel now?"
Genius was being caressed by the scammer on his deformed back. Very good, better than ever. When you experience death, the meaning of life is completely different.
The Cowboy told him everything and asked, Buddy, what do you plan to do in the future?
The genius thought about it and said,"Since there's nowhere to go, let's fight together." I will make many weapons.
Leo: That's great, but it has to be something the kids can use.
Genius: At your service.
Everyone laughed.
Suddenly, a big monkey blocked the way. The soldiers unsheathed their swords and loaded their bows.
