Chapter 716: The Evil Thought of Loneliness
of course not.
This sentence is obviously the truth, the pure truth.
Reality can no longer be real.
For Li Qi, there is no difference between the Forward Alliance and the bugs that invaded the Forward Alliance. This does not mean that there are no differences between them, but that they include everything in the world.
In the eyes of Li Qi, a wizard, there is no difference between all things in the world, and all living beings are the same.
This is not the equality of all living beings. Wu Jin actually does not agree with the statement "all living beings are equal". Their view is that "all living beings are the same".
Equality is impossible to achieve, because equality means no longer being fair. Everything in the world is inherently unequal, but this inequality should be based on equal conditions.
This condition, which is consistent with all things, is nature itself.
Therefore, there is essentially no difference between Li Qi, the Insects, and the Forward Alliance.
So Li Qi said so directly.
However, considering Suetaki's mood, he still added: "Of course, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that I will help the insect people. After all, they are the invaders and the ones who should fight back. What I mean is, From a life perspective, there is no difference between you and them, including me."
Suetaki just nodded and said in a very tired tone: "I understand what you mean, okay, this topic ends here, I also believe what you said... There is really no possibility of saving these people... …Let’s go in first, there are other things inside, take a look.”
Li Qi glanced at Suetong and said nothing. Since the other party had understood, it was best. Suetong still had a brain and would not be manipulated by emotions.
He could understand Suetaki's current emotions, but he also believed that Suetaki could truly realize what was going on.
The two continued to move forward, but while walking, Suotaki drew out the heat from the fusion engine and ignited the pile of flesh and blood that Li Qi had killed.
No matter what, we can't just leave it here.
Cremation is better than sky burial.
Li Qi stood aside, waiting for Mo Long to finish burning.
After that, the two of them walked into the gymnasium together.
There was no one in the gym anymore.
Yes, there is no one left.
There is a monster that seems to be hatching.
An...egg of flesh and blood.
Suetaki almost vomited. He had just glanced at it from a distance before being chased out by others. Now that he saw it up close, he felt that everything in front of him seemed to be challenging the limit of his endurance.
In front of him was a squirming carpet of human flesh.
There are thousands of people gathered together to form a mass of flesh, and traces of various fusions can be seen on it. Faces, hands, feet, or torsos are all still in the process of fusion. This mass of flesh is connected together by various flesh and blood threads. Hanging in mid-air.
The blood vessels and tumors are constantly beating, just like the heart. The surrounding flesh and blood was swollen and weird, covered with disgusting nerves and varicose veins, and various organs were stuck together. From the aesthetic point of view of the Forward Alliance, it was simply deformed and smelly.
No, it shouldn’t be the aesthetics of the Forward Alliance, but from the aesthetics of most humanoid creatures, this thing is impossible to like.
Thump, thump, thump, the heartbeat kept ringing, echoing in the empty gymnasium.
These heartbeats make one's scalp tingle, as if hearing the never-ending crazy sound, making one's own heart beat accordingly.
The resonance between the hearts made Suetaki feel very uncomfortable. There was a suffocating feeling in his chest, as if he was being swept by infrasound waves, which was extremely painful.
This sound makes people almost go crazy, and after listening to it for a long time, it seems to make people have some kind of hallucination, that is, the eggs of flesh and blood in front of them are getting bigger and distorted.
The disgusting lumps of flesh and hemangiomas are constantly beating with the heart. The huge and fat tumors and blood vessels are even bursting because of this dance, spreading blood all over the surroundings, and then being absorbed into it.
This is the breeding ground where a monster sleeps, a cradle composed of life, death and flesh.
"Destroy this thing... destroy him!" An unknown fire arose in Suetaki's heart, the light blade popped out in his hand, and he rushed forward!
Li Qi did not stop the other party, and in fact it was not easy to stop him.
This thing should be incubating something, perhaps as a node of a large formation, but in any case, destroying it now is definitely the best choice.
Amid the pounding sound of his heart, Suetaki felt his hands and feet were cold, as if there was an inexplicable chill around him that tightly gripped his limbs.
But his chest and forehead felt hot.
The mecha started, the plasma light blade popped out, and the magnetic restraint device bound the heat energy into a small rectangle. It had almost no mass, but could cut all known mortal objects.
This is the blazing heat of the true fire of the great sun.
Li Qi frowned slightly as he watched Suotaki leap out.
His sixth sense felt something was off.
The technology tree of the Advance Alliance is a bit crooked. Although they recognize the 'rational' side of the world, they do not recognize the metaphysical side of the world. Even if they have come into contact with places like the Fantasy Realm, they have always been Using reason to restrain your fantasies.
The reason, Li Qi thinks, is very simple, that is, they don't live long enough.
They progress as a whole civilization, but individuals change very quickly, so the world level is not low, but the individual level is quite low, which limits their sensory way of experiencing another world.
They passed on knowledge through civilization itself, but knowledge itself can be recorded in a relatively clear way, which is why they are destined to be rational. The wisdom of their predecessors can only be recorded in this way.
And the more emotional "subjective feelings", those things that really exist in the world but are difficult to describe, such as "soul", are difficult for the Forward Alliance to obtain through the wisdom of their predecessors, because this is not something that can be described by a simple symbol system.
It is difficult to make up for their backwardness in this regard, which is the overall disadvantage of civilization.
Li Qi watched Mo Taki rush up and wanted to stop him.
This flesh and blood egg is obviously resistant to physical attacks. If you want to destroy the other party, you should target the foundation of the flesh and blood below.
Those insect civilizations are not civilizations like the Forward Alliance, but some kind of spiritual energy, and the degree of utilization is very high. Judging from their appearance, they have not developed technology in the usual sense, and even the civilization itself is still in the primitive mode of the hive, and has become a pirate civilization dominated by plunder.
Their technology is also very poor.
But all their abilities are used to enhance the ethereal things like "God's Will".
God's Will, Soul, various spiritual powers.
This is a completely different path from the Forward Alliance, and even more extreme.
As a cultivator in the world, Li Qi can understand, but Mo Taki can't understand.
So, Li Qi wants to stop Mo Taki——
However, looking at Mo Taki rushing up, Li Qi suddenly found that... Mo Taki in this state and himself seemed to have similar experiences.
It's just that at this time, looking at Mo Taki like that, Li Qi suddenly became absent-minded.
He... was in a daze at this juncture.
When Li Qi looked at Mo Taki rushing up, a certain idea came into his mind——
This idea is: Do I really understand Mo Taki?
So, he was stunned for a moment.
Just at this moment, Suetaki rushed into the flesh and blood egg.
Then, his soul quickly fell into a strange state, even the mecha's mental shielding ability could not isolate such an impact.
Suetaki felt that the weight of the flesh began to lighten strangely, and a pure spiritual nature filled his body.
His soul split, torn, and then exploded into a ball.
But at the last second of mental collapse, he started the self-destruction of the cold fusion engine.
At that second, he looked at Li Qi.
At this moment, Suetaki suddenly realized that he had never known Li Qi.
Li Qi also realized that he had never known Suetaki.
That look swept over Li Qi, and he reacted from his daze.
Li Qi pulled back violently.
With the roar of the fusion engine, Suetaki and the flesh and blood egg were annihilated in the bursting Great Sun True Flame at the same time.
Although Li Qi had evacuated, he was still pushed out by the shock wave for most of the distance. However, he activated the repulsion layer and performed an emergency maneuver ejection, so he was only partially impacted.
The nature of the fusion engine itself determines that the damage range of its self-explosion will not be too large, because without the pressure constraint, the fusion itself will stop by itself, and the explosion is only the damage of that moment. As long as the Great Sun True Flame is avoided, the impact force will actually affect one or two kilometers.
A one or two kilometer block was reduced to ruins.
And Li Qi, after being blown away, sat paralyzed in the ruins.
Mutaki died, but the reaction before his death - plus the thoughts that came up in Li Qi's stunned moment.
Li Qi couldn't help but fall into thinking.
With Mutaki's death, Li Qi immediately realized that the "mortal perspective" he had been looking for recently, as well as the "misunderstanding" between Mutaki and others, seemed to be the essence of this.
The Tao is outside, that is, to interpret the world with the Tao.
The Tao is inside, that is, to interpret oneself with the Tao.
The Forward Alliance is good at interpreting the world, but not good at interpreting itself.
Li Qi seemed to have thought of why everyone's "Tao" is different.
Everyone is lonely in the world.
Everyone is imprisoned in a house that belongs only to him, and can only communicate his thoughts to others through some symbols, and these symbols have no common value, so their meaning is vague and uncertain.
This is a typical Chinese house.
Everyone is very pitiful and wants to convey the wealth in his heart to others, but others do not have the ability to accept these wealth.
Therefore, the Tao-seekers can only walk alone. Although they can rely on each other physically, they are not together, because they neither understand others nor can they be understood by others.
I believe that at the beginning, after each Tao-seeker understands his own Tao, he will express his thoughts to others with joy, but in the end they will find that the object of his chattering is a wall.
They are not actually a wall, they just can't understand you.
Cycle again and again, until the end, when you are discouraged, you find that you are actually a cold stone, and there are other people who are also chattering to you, but you have never discovered it.
This is the end of this process.
Everyone seems to live in a different world, and since the world is different, the interpretation is naturally different.
Although everyone has all kinds of wonderful and profound things to say, they can only be limited to the few stale and mediocre words in the symbol system of "language".
Everyone's mind is full of various thoughts, as wonderful as heaven, full of the most wonderful and beautiful imaginations, and can understand the most wonderful and subtle feelings.
And all they can say is "This sunset is as red as an apple."
Red like an apple, what is this? Can it really describe the truth of things? Are apples all red? Is red also an apple?
The paleness and powerlessness of language is particularly obvious at this moment.
No one can really understand another person.
All living beings are different from all things because of thinking, and at the same time, they are destined to be lonely forever because of thinking.
Everyone can find a beautiful answer that belongs to him and only to him in the chaos of the universe, which is drawn with the tool of thinking, but this answer is so exquisite that any clumsy behavior of describing it is stupid.
It's like if someone wrote a poem, or drew a picture, or made a game, anyway, he created a work that belongs to him.
This work is everything to him. He integrated his thoughts, his soul, and his entire life into the work.
He hung this work outside.
But at this time, most people would only feel weird.
They couldn't tell what it was. Everyone would have different opinions on this work, as if there were different ambiguities in this painting.
But the work has no ambiguity, it's the people who have ambiguity.
The Tao belongs only to oneself.
Even if it is a fellow Tao, it can only barely glimpse a little bit, and it's just to save oneself and others. It's not a real "fellow Tao" at all.
Such an understanding made Li Qi sit there in a daze for a while.
This seems to be right.
Li Qi always felt that something was wrong.
What Li Qi was thinking about was why he couldn't integrate into the perspective of ordinary people, why he became more and more "indifferent", and why he lost his original perspective on the world.
The closer he got to the will of heaven, the more he felt this difference.
Now, the answer given from this perspective does explain why he began to be unable to understand the perspective of mortals, but this perspective also obscures his other possibilities.
He didn't want this answer. People should be able to understand each other, not as this answer said.
But... the matter of Suetaki, and the more than half a year of getting along with Suetaki, seemed to perfectly confirm his understanding.
People just can't understand each other.
With his inability to refute this answer, Li Qi suddenly began to emit demonic energy.
Yes, everyone is unique, people can't understand each other, you can't confirm whether the other person is a "person", or just a wall, or a zombie?
So, as long as you admit that you are destined to be lonely, you admit: there is only "me" in the world-
Then "me" is not...
The devil?
