Chapter 2709 The Brainwashed Colonel
"Colonel Song Guanghyuk is by no means insane—it is impossible for the Holy League to let a mentally ill person be the ground commander of a resource planet. His memory is very clear, his mind is very clear, and his logical thinking is perfect. He firmly remembers the past everything of."
Zhuge Jinglun explained to Li Yao, "He remembers his youth and youth in the empire as a nobleman, his wife and three children, and even the whole process of the Holy League manipulating him, but he is Wholeheartedly converted to the way of perfection, completely separated from his past self, and became a "good family".
"Talk to him, it's very interesting, I believe it will give you a clearer understanding of the Holy League."
Li Yao met this "Colonel Song Guanghyuk" in the deepest secret cell of the third research institute.
The colonel's first impression of Li Yao was quite good. He was a handsome, well-behaved, clean and simple middle-aged man. The hospital uniform that was crumpled on others was as straight as a military uniform on him. Even the most All the buttons on the top are buttoned properly.
His expression was not as cold and heartless as those members of the Holy League above. Instead, he wore a delicate and warm smile, which gave people a very... warm feeling.
However, this is only an illusion.
Zhuge Jinglun told Li Yao that a nurse and a researcher were deceived by this warm smile and died at the hands of Colonel Song Guanghyuk.
No one thought that he would be the killer - nurses and researchers are not important people, even if he kills them, he can't escape, and they didn't abuse him, but took good care of him, God knows why he didn't have a chance Kill without reason.
Since killing two innocent people in a row, Colonel Song Kwang-hyuk's cell has been completely sealed, and even the air he breathes has to be filtered through layers before it can be transmitted in. The cell wall is made of one-dimensional glass, so people outside can have a clear view. But Colonel Song Guanghyuk couldn't see what was going on outside.
When Li Yao saw Colonel Song Guanghyuk, he was putting his hands neatly on his knees, watching a soap opera projected by a huge light curtain - it was specially for housewives and three aunts and six wives, full of chattering parents' gossip and extremely childish Love-hate entanglements, life-or-death, ghost-roaring things.
He has no choice, this is also a part of the research, Zhuge Jinglun will regularly play these things with strong emotional stimulation to him every day, hoping to detect abnormalities in his brain waves.
It's a pity that Colonel Song Guanghyuk was clearly concentrating on watching, but his brain waves didn't change at all, just like staring at a blank wall.
On the bed next to it, there were also some novels and poetry collections—Zhuge Jinglun didn’t want Colonel Song Guanghe to get in touch with Jingnao, so the novels and poetry collections were all very rare paper products. The smell of books and ink gave this small room The prison cell brought a few wisps of antique flavor. .
This is also a test.
It is a pity that although Colonel Song Guanghyuk read these novels and poetry collections with great interest, they did not touch his calm mind in the slightest.
"Colonel Song, I have brought a guest, a real big shot."
Zhuge Jinglun said to the cell through the sound transmission talisman array, "He wants to ask you some questions. If you can answer them well, maybe I can consider improving your living conditions and help you change to a bigger cell."
Colonel Song Guanghe continued to watch for more than half a minute, until the two women with teeth and claws in the three-dimensional light curtain finished arguing, and then he looked away, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, stood up slowly, and put his hands on the one-way door. degree glass.
Even though he knew he couldn't see what was going on outside, the eyes that were as clear as water still seemed to seep through the sealed cell and wrap around Li Yao's body.
"Dean Zhuge, just call me 'Song Guanghe', the name is just a code name, and I haven't been a 'colonel' for a long time."
Colonel Song Guanghyuk smiled and said, "I am happy to answer all the questions of the distinguished guests, but there is no need to change the cell-you will not change the cell for me, you just want to see me angry.
"Besides, this place is very good. We humans were originally just a speck of dust in the vast universe. For dust, this cell is big enough."
Zhuge Jinglun and Li Yao looked at each other and signaled with their eyes: "You see, the Zhishan clan is so weird."
Li Yao thought for a while, and said straight to the point: "Colonel Song Guanghe, hello, I am very interested in the Holy League and the way of perfection, and even want to find other ways other than war to resolve the...conflict between the empire and the Holy League , thank you for being open and honest with my questions.
"I saw that you were watching a series about love between men and women and emotional entanglements. How is it? How do you feel?"
"Very well, my honored guest."
Colonel Song Guanghyuk still smiled and said, "It's a very good shot, very interesting."
"Interesting?"
Li Yao was surprised, "Why is this interesting, can it touch your heart?"
"For example, we all know that ants can release some special substances through the waving of their antennae, communicate with each other, and form a tight social system."
Colonel Song Guanghyuk said, "If we are ants, we can feel a lot of information from this substance. I can feel the love and hatred of ants, and I can feel the heroic unyielding, passionate and furious of ants. The confrontation between two ant colonies is like a war between two countries. Countless heroes and despicable villains will emerge, leaving countless moving legends and even a magnificent epic.
"Unfortunately, we are not ants, but human beings. Therefore, when we see the confrontation between two ant colonies under a big tree, we only feel 'very interesting', but it is impossible to understand, and we don't care about the love of ants at all. Love and hatred, heroes and villains of ants, legends and epics of ants, right?
"In the same way, now I watch these so-called emotional series composed of seven emotions and six desires. Watching these two female human beings fight for a male human being is like watching two groups of ants fighting, or two female orangutans fighting,' It's fun', that's all."
If the other party could not hear the voice, Li Yao really wanted to whistle for Colonel Song Guanghyuk.
Sure enough, the Zhishan tribe is different from the lower-level members of the Holy League. They have very clear thinking and have their own set of logic, which is not so easy to be "corrected".
"So--"
Li Yao pondered for a moment, then asked, "These emotional dramas can't touch you in the slightest, what about you in the past? Dean Zhuge said, you remember everything in the past very clearly, remembering your wife and children, even they can't Does it touch your heart? How do you see yourself in the past?"
"Ah, the old me."
The exquisite smile on Colonel Song Guanghe's face remained unchanged, like some kind of deeply engraved brand, he slowly shook his head and said, "It was really a dark period that I can't look back on. Influenced by extremely crazy people, they are immersed in the quagmire of sin and cannot extricate themselves.
"At that time, I was greedy for power, addicted to desire, flattering and begging for the strong; intriguing and deceitful with my companions; cruelly oppressing and even killing the weak for no reason.
"I can kill my best friend without batting an eyelid in order to compete for the command of the family war group; I can also marry a woman I have never met in order to climb up the ladder; Vanity, used the most extreme methods to train my own flesh and blood, let them participate in the most dangerous survival trials, and killed my youngest child as a result.
"I was indulging in the aura of power and the coercion of power, and I was completely reduced to the slave of the 'Desire Demon'. The most evil time, I even killed 500 innocent villagers and pretended to be a member of the Holy League. I had to do this to gain military exploits, because almost all noble officers on the entire front did so.
"Sin, that is really boundless sin. Just thinking about it makes people tremble and breaks my heart. I really don't know how my past self was soaked in the black mud without knowing it, and even felt like a fish in water. !
"Fortunately, all the sins have passed, and the supreme master made me realize the true Dao, and gave me the opportunity to wash away the sins of the past, so that I finally found my own peace.
"My honored guest, no matter what your identity is, you must be an immortal cultivator. Then you must be like me in the past, immersed in the quagmire of sin without knowing it. I sincerely hope that you can wake up to your own sin as soon as possible. , get rid of this life in the dark quagmire, and find... your ultimate peace.
The corners of Li Yao's eyes twitched: "Ultimate peace? Could this be the reason why you killed a nurse and a researcher?"
"Yes, I feel the guilt in them."
Colonel Song Guanghyuk said indifferently, "More importantly, I saw that their consciences are not lost, they are struggling in the dark mire, and they want to wash away their sins but don't know the way, so I helped them, took them out of the sea of suffering, and returned to the world. Eternal peace."
"Don't you think you are forcing others by doing this?"
Li Yaodao, "Including when you were captured by the Holy League, you were also brainwashed by coercion. What do you think of this coercion? Don't you think people should have the right to freely choose which path to take?"
"If a person wants to cut his own artery, don't you go up and 'forcibly' kick the knife from his hand?"
Colonel Song Guanghyuk asked, "If you saw someone going to hang himself, wouldn't you go up and 'forcibly' hold him down? If you saw someone struggling in a fire pit, wouldn't you ask him politely first? Did you rescue him after getting permission?
"Freedom, what exactly is freedom? Should human beings really have the freedom to harm their own bodies, the freedom to take drugs, the freedom to waste resources unscrupulously and kill each other?
"In the past, I was like struggling in an abyss full of flames and poison. While taking drugs, I was waving a sharp knife, hurting myself, hurting others, and hurting the entire universe. The supreme master saved me and 'forced' me Pulling out of the abyss is certainly a compulsion, but isn't this compulsion beneficial and necessary?"
