Chapter 2020 Different Starting Points

Shota knew that he couldn't stop Duran, so he said nothing more. But Kuroshima hadn't agreed to cooperate with Duran yet, but she didn't know how to refuse.

Knowing Duran was really bad luck, and Kuroshima was now thinking about how to kill Duran. But this time her imagination was different from before. Every time she fantasized before, she killed someone else. But when she fantasized about killing Duran, in her illusion, Duran seemed to be alive and out of control. As a result, she reaped the fruits of her own labor and was killed by Duran every time.

How terrible it is that her own fantasy is not under her control?

This was the first time Kuroshima encountered such a situation. She couldn't even kill Duran in her fantasy, let alone in reality. Just like a wild animal will stay away from danger, Kuroshima now thinks Duran is a huge danger.

She wanted to escape, but Duran sucked her in like a black hole.

However, Duran's happy smile now does not mean that he can keep laughing. Everything he said just now fell into Conan's ears through the eavesdropping device.

Conan hoped that his suspicion was wrong, but the facts proved that he was not wrong. And he also confirmed Duran's motive, which was to test the theory that crime can make the world a better place.

Conan admitted that sometimes crime can indeed lead to good results, but this is just survivor bias and cannot be generalized. Duran wants to study and even verify special cases as inevitable events, which is wrong in itself.

I really don't understand why someone as smart as Duran would have such a stupid idea.

Conan felt that it was time to stop Duran and not let him do whatever he wanted. So he came to 302 and pressed the doorbell.

Everyone was stunned, and Shota was even more nervous. If an innocent person came in this situation, he might be killed to silence him.

Duran opened the door and let Conan in.

"Conan?!" Shota said it was dangerous here, but he found that Conan's temperament was not something a child could have. He was calm, wise, and even a little calm.

Duran said, "Did you hear all that?"

Conan nodded, "I heard it. Your idea is too paranoid. If everyone thinks like you that crime can make the world a better place, then there is no hope for this world."

But Duran said, "Then what is the use of the law you believe in? Can it really stop criminals? Can it give justice to the dead? You must know that in the past, it was natural to pay for a murder and pay for a debt, but now because of the existence of the law, the murderer does not have to pay for his life, and the debtor does not have to pay for his debt. Does the law protect the victim or the perpetrator?"

"What you said is all specious. Without the law, the world would have become chaotic long ago. It is precisely because of the protection of the law that ordinary people can live the current life and enjoy the progress of this industrial civilization. Without the law, all this is just a mirage." Conan knew that the law was not omnipotent, but no one could deny the usefulness of the law. Moreover, the law is the only fair and just standard that cannot be changed by personal will. It is a rule that humans have established with great difficulty. He did not allow Duran to say that.

"Have you forgotten Noah? Without crime, it is impossible to change the future." Duran said that Noah's example has clearly shown that even if human nature is kind, it cannot be shown without external coercion.

"That's just an exception. There will be people who can be just regardless of poverty or wealth. You must have faith in humanity."

"The idealists you mentioned are also exceptions. There are only a few people in this world who can fight for the cause of human liberation all their lives without regrets. More people will get used to privileges, enjoy privileges, and slowly develop a natural sense of superiority. This is the reality. They will not fear the law, so we must create a force they fear, so that they can't sleep in the dark and face the enemy in broad daylight."

After listening, Shota said that these two guys like to use special cases as examples. If he, a civilian, speaks, he is of course willing to accept the law, and of course he hopes that the Knight of the Night will protect the fairness of the law. He thinks that civilians must be protected by the law, and the law must be protected by the morality of the upper class. Conan is right, the law is very important.

As for who will demand the morality of the upper class in the end, this is an eternal problem. It can be said that no one can guarantee that the upper class morality will last forever. If the upper class morality disappears, the law will no longer work, and then the masses will naturally teach them how to be human.

Now the upper class morality still exists, so Conan does not allow Duran to use any criminal methods to warn, because this is just to strengthen the contradiction between the upper and lower classes, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

If the contradiction is too sharp, it will lead to social unrest, people's livelihood will be in dire straits, and accelerate the demise of the country and dynasty.

Conan is not stupid. He is not blind to the problem, but some problems have no solution. What can be done is to set a good example and influence others as much as possible. For individuals in history, this is the only thing they can do. It is small and humble, but it is good if it can influence even one person.

So Conan will not waver. He wants to learn from his father, learn from his mother, and strengthen his beliefs. At the same time, he and his friends and comrades firmly believe that there is justice in the world. Conan's path is not lonely, which also strengthens his attitude against Duran.

"Duran, I understand how you feel, but please trust us." Conan also knew that Duran wanted the world to become a better place, but he couldn't do it by any means necessary.

"As we speak, someone is devouring everyone's wealth legally and destroying the lives of ordinary people." Duran said.

"There is no way. If they really committed a crime, I will find evidence to send them to prison. But if it is just a normal economic activity, it is allowed." The law is Conan's bottom line. He will never let off easily for illegal crimes. But he can't do anything about those financial behaviors that are not stipulated by the law.

In fact, it is not just financial means that he is not in charge of. He can't control the Middle East war and famine in Africa. After all, the Middle East war and African famine are caused by national crimes, not individual crimes.

Anyway, Conan does not approve of murder to change the world, because murder is a method that can be easily learned by people. If everyone uses murder to solve problems, the civilians will suffer in the end. After all, killing and robbing can make money faster than using financial fraud. If murder becomes a regular method, then some people will completely tear off the mask of hypocrisy and kill and rob directly, and no longer have to cheat.

It can be said that Conan and Duran seem to be a faction of order, but what he is worried about is that the most vicious side of human beings will be activated. Duran believes that everyone has a fearful heart, and wants to use crime to maintain their fear and achieve his goal.

It can be said that they have the same goal, but different starting points, which leads to different behaviors.
