Chapter 47: All in Vain, Doomed
"I can do whatever I want?"
After eating the ice cream, Zhanyan threw the plate into the clouds without any moral sense. He was not particular at all.
Even if it can't hit anyone, it's not good to kill flowers, plants or small animals, so Wutong let the fallen plate return to his hands.
None of his things are cheap, so it would be a pity to throw them away.
Even if it is cheap, it would be a pity to throw it away. After all, the thing is good, but at first glance, it is not a person who knows how to live.
"Um……"
Wutong handed Zhongyan a piece of dessert, without giving him a plate this time. He pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, because I can't control you, no one can control you.
"But when you want to do something, you'd better be thoughtful and don't hurt others, or... don't go against other people's wishes. This is the conscience and foundation of being a person.
"Think about it, if I forcefully do something against your will, will you be happy?"
"..."
She may not be happy if there is no answer in the end, but she shouldn't be too sad either, because her emotions are quite indifferent and it is difficult for her to empathize with humans.
All the pre-civilization events have led to her being too rational in the end. Not only does she have no sympathy, no care for others, and no sense of responsibility, she has no interest in most things other than Wutong, and she also maintains distrust and dissatisfaction with Wutong. manner.
However, she can understand what Wutong means. Human beings do need moral and legal regulation and restraint. "Restraint" can maintain human social order and stability, allowing one person to trust another person, and the development of human civilization. We cannot do without restraint, and restraint is one of the means by which human beings protect themselves.
Freedom is of course very important, but constraints are even more important. Without constraints, there would be no freedom.
If the "superior" have no constraints to regulate their behavior, can the "lower" still be human? Is there any dignity left? If you don’t even have human dignity, how can you talk about freedom?
Freedom is based on constraints.
However, it is true that humans need restraint, but what does it have to do with her end?
She has been restrained by Wutong and herself for too long. Is it wrong to want to taste "freedom" now?
She would not hurt others because humans are too weak. In her eyes, the value of humans is too low and not worthy of her persecution. At most, she will make Wutong temporarily unhappy.
It may also make Wutong unhappy but happy.
But then again, Wutong has made her "unhappy" for so long, what's wrong with her "revenge"? Is there a problem?
She just wants to be able to trust Wutong in the future. Wutong now is too unworthy of her trust.
Finally, I don’t think I was wrong. Besides, what if she was wrong? Who dares to mess with her? Who dares to say she is wrong?
If you feel that what she is doing is wrong, then you can come to her and talk to her, whether it is a person or a god.
Why doesn't anyone stand up?
How to do it?
Since no one came forward, she was right.
You still have to fight for your own rights and dignity. At this time, perhaps only Wutong can stand up and correct the mistakes of the end for himself.
Zhongyan's deep and emotionless golden eyes made Wutong a little uncomfortable.
“There’s something wrong with your thinking.
"It doesn't mean that once our relationship reaches the level of husband and wife, my attitude towards you will change drastically and I will be worthy of your trust.
“I admit, my attitude towards Sakura and Mebius is indeed different from my attitude towards you.
“But this is because they are worthy of my trust, so I am 100% worthy of their trust.
"Moreover, they and I didn't trust each other because we became partners, but we first trusted each other and went through countless ups and downs together, even fighting each other, before we became partners.
“You should first understand the relationship between before and after, rather than just looking at the results.
"The conclusions drawn from the observation results are not necessarily correct. Human emotions are too complex. The correct answer cannot be obtained by analyzing them with the ability of the logicians of previous civilizations."
Wutong paused, thought for a moment, and continued: "Besides, forceful melons are not sweet. If you want to do something against my will...even if it becomes a fact, we cannot be partners.
"Furthermore, from a human moral perspective, you are committing a crime.
"Of course, I know this can't restrain you. I just hope you can think carefully before doing anything and don't let the fragile trust between us be directly broken."
Sometimes, Wutong feels that it is too difficult for him and is tiring.
Zhongyan is too cold, taciturn, and has always looked aloof and expressionless. It is difficult for people to guess what she is thinking and no information can be obtained.
Wutong could only guess at the end of her thoughts and what she wanted to do, and determined a possible "answer" through countless speculations.
Then think about how to convince her? Can you convince me? Are words alone useful?
It's probably useless, but I still have to say, what if it succeeds?
"I know that in your eyes, when we met again after more than 40,000 years, my appearance made you feel very surprised, strange, and... longing for me?
“But it’s not because I have a partner that I have a relationship; it’s because I have a relationship that I have a partner.
"Think of all your observations of all my words and actions,
Think about Eden, Eden and I are not partners, but she still trusts me.
“It’s not because she’s sweet, nor because she’s stupid, she’s smarter than most people.
“Eden and I are close friends, so I can make some verbal jokes with her that sound outrageous.
"Eden and I have a deep friendship, so we trust each other.
“I trusted her, so I risked my life to save her from you twice.
"She trusts me, so she can support me without reservation and unconditionally, and she can resolutely sacrifice her life for this.
“Trust does not have to be based on a relationship between husband and wife, it can also be a relationship between friends.
"The relationship between friends is not bad, and you won't take unnecessary risks because of it, right?
"I suggest you think about it carefully and don't do something wrong because of impulse or because you don't want trouble."
After saying that, Wutong took out a drink that he felt had the best taste and texture, took a sip, and thoughtfully handed a bottle to Zhongyan.
This is all beautiful stuff and shouldn't be ruined.
Wutong is very reasonable, and so is Zhongyan, so his words are more convincing to Zhongyan. If it were someone else, he might be convinced by him.
Unfortunately, she was not convinced in the end. She was very sensible. She had considered everything Wutong said over a long period of time.
The reasons why Yan Yan wanted to get Wutong were not only the ones he just mentioned. Wutong only chose the reasons that were easier to convince her to "resist". He didn't know whether he could guess the other reasons.
But even if you guess it, it doesn't matter anymore, because Wutong should know that even the most promising "viewpoint" cannot stop the end, and it is useless to say anything else.
Furthermore, Wutong said it nicely, but that was not what he did.
Finally, she understood that it would be great if she could become friends with Wutong, but the fact was that the two of them still didn't trust each other after being together for so long.
The relationship between the two is antagonistic, how can they trust each other? It's not bad if you don't live to the death.
Why do you ultimately believe Wutong's words? Can they really become friends in the future?
The probability is too low.
Wutong once gave Final Yan a chance, but due to suspicion, Final Yan failed to grasp it, leading to Kiana's death.
Finally, Wutong was given a chance, but what did Wutong do? Let her sleep.
Even if she wakes up, Wutong still wants to keep her in this world and "lock" her.
Are you stupid after all? She is not stupid, she understands Wutong, so she can analyze the reasons behind Wutong's words and actions.
Is Wutong stupid? He's not stupid. Doesn't he know what the consequences of his actions will be? Definitely know. But he had to do that because he didn't trust Zhongyan, let alone trust Zhongyan. He always stood on the side of mankind and wanted to protect mankind and be responsible for mankind.
For the development of human civilization, one hundred and thirty years is a short time, but it is also a long time. A "moment" of peace is also peace. The only regret is that during this period, human beings have not grown up to A point that can compete with the end.
Otherwise Wutong will not lose.
Yes, Wutong thought he had lost.
There is nothing wrong with Wutong and Zhanyan. The only thing wrong is that they are both sensible.
In ancient times, when two "countries" were in opposition, how could they ease the conflicts between them?
One of the ways to try to improve it is to "marriage" to deepen the bond between the two countries.
The solution is for the strong party to destroy the weak party.
However, Wutong's help is ultimately needed.
"I'll give you one last chance." Zhan Yan said indifferently while drinking the bottled drink through a straw.
"..."
Wutong hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
As expected, she couldn't be convinced by just "talking".
In fact, Wutong has another useless method, which is to make Zhongyan and Mei become "good friends".
After all, he has a partner, and Mei and Kevin are only a couple and not married yet.
To be honest, Wutong felt that Mei was more suitable to take care of Zhongyan than him. The person Zhongyan was most familiar with was him, and the second was Mei. Moreover, leaving aside the use of force, Mei is no worse than Wutong in other fields and in all aspects.
Dr. Mei is definitely capable of helping Terminus on his behalf.
Zhongyan and Mei were not only former rivals, but Mei was Zhongyan's creator.
Wutong believes that besides him, the only human being who may eventually accept it is Mei.
But Wutong still gave up this plan. The reason was very simple. It was "not fastidious" and I felt sorry for Mei and even more sorry for Kevin.
If Mei and Zhongyan were allowed to be together, would Kevin agree?
meeting.
Even if Kevin had been single all his life and watched his crush and his former enemy become "good friends", he would still agree.
Will May agree?
meeting.
Even if the person Mei loves deeply is Kevin.
Will you finally agree?
30% of people may agree, this probability is already quite high.
In the end, I still hope to get Wutong.
"Choose a location. It's not a good place to fight here." Wutong said helplessly, "You don't want to see this beautiful world and my hard work die because of your fight, right?"
"You choose, I'll give you another chance." Zhongyan is very confident about his own strength.
confidence.
A strong person will not feel unfair because of trivial things.
If you can't win, you can't win. If you lose, you lose. Will making so many excuses change the facts? No, cowards will always lose.
"Haha, okay." Wutong chuckled, "How about this, how about we teleport to a random place within the Quantum Sea?"
"Can."
"Haha, let me see how strong you are."
"I hope you have the strength to find out my depth."
Zhongyan was a little surprised by Wutong's choice. In her understanding, Wutong should choose an environment that is particularly beneficial to her, and might even find helpers to deal with her. Unexpectedly, Wutong chose an environment that would be beneficial to both parties. Fair place.
This battle is not only related to dignity, success or failure, and purity. It is also a battle between "restraint" and "freedom." It is also a continuation of the battle between "civilization" and "collapse" in the past. It also determines the fate of countless people. destiny.
Wutong's choice made Zhongyan very unfavorable to him.
Is it a tactic?
Or should we say... break the pot and break it?
Or...you don't mean what you say?
If it is the first possibility, it will feel a bit boring in the end.
And based on her understanding of Wutong, the second possibility was unlikely.
If it was the third possibility... she would eventually find it very interesting, and she would be very optimistic about her future with Wutong. However, this is unlikely.
The most likely one is the fourth one, which is that Wutong has changed again and become more "charming". This change and a certain "characteristic" about him are very attractive to him.
Sure enough, human nature is very complicated, and I finally think that she may need something from modern civilization, something that can take her to a higher level.
