Chapter 2972 Surrender
In the interrogation room, Endo angrily accused Duran of not understanding humans, let alone Ultraman. Ultraman cannot be the same as humans, but when Duran confidently pointed out the existence of Dark Ultraman, he was shocked although he didn't know.
In the past, Endo believed that all good things belonged to Ultraman and all bad things belonged to humans. He couldn't imagine a world full of darkness.
But in fact, darkness and light coexist like yin and yang. They are the unity of opposites. No one has no darkness in their hearts, not even Ultraman. So the Ultraman in Endo's mind is a beautified belief and does not exist in reality.
Originally, Duran was asked to assist in the investigation, but Endo was hit hard in the end. However, the case still needs to be investigated. So many retired elderly people in the anti-alien force were suddenly assassinated. There must be something wrong.
Endo suspected that someone was killing to silence them. Now the confrontation between aliens and earthlings has become more and more obvious. Aliens are looking for various excuses to start a war against humans. So the anti-alien force will also become an excuse for invasion. Perhaps someone will kill them to cover it up. Of course, alien revenge cannot be ruled out.
Both earthlings and aliens have reasons to kill them. Endo just thought it was ridiculous. They killed aliens back then, and now they are not human inside and outside. I wonder if they will think of today, the killer will always be killed.
As for Duran, Endo thinks he has a motive for the crime, but Duran is very cunning and has means, and it is not easy to deal with. But solving the case requires evidence. Now they just ask Duran to assist in the investigation, not to arrest.
Endo thinks Duran is very suspicious. This guy doesn't even believe in Ultraman. The darkness in his heart can be imagined. It is not surprising that a person with only darkness and no light in his heart does any cruel thing.
Duran said he was wronged. He also has light in his heart, but he thinks that light and darkness are not separated, and light and darkness can be transformed, just like Yin and Yang Tai Chi. Ultraman can be blackened, and humans can be noble. There is no eternal light and no eternal darkness.
Light and darkness cannot be independent. Without darkness, how can we understand light?
It's like saying that if you want people to forget the elephant, then you must first remember the elephant. Then how can you forget it when you remember the elephant? Because there is darkness, there is light, and it is impossible to separate.
Endo also gave Ultraman more light because he had seen too much of the dark side of human beings. He did not deny the existence of light because of the darkness, but just thought that the light was concentrated on Ultraman.
But Ultraman was not unaware of the darkness, but he had not experienced it many times and had not encountered the conditions that stimulated the darkness.
Darkness and light are one and will not be separated. When a person realizes the light, it means that he has understood the darkness, and vice versa.
Duran has light in his heart, but he does not deny the darkness. Darkness does not matter, as long as it is not practiced. There is nothing wrong with thinking about it in your heart, but it can only be maintained at the stage of thinking.
Duran has an alibi, and he really has no reason to kill people. These are all clients, and he has no need to go to the past with the clients. But Endo still kept him for 24 hours.
The news of Ultraman's blackening made Endo very uncomfortable. If even Ultraman cannot be trusted, what should he believe in? Can this universe still be good?
Of course, believe in the kindness in your heart, because everyone has darkness and light, and there is no need to ask Ultraman for it. It's just that humans are too weak. Once implemented, they will definitely prioritize their own interests rather than the good and evil in their hearts. After all, good and evil are not worth eating or drinking, but interests are necessary for survival.
So Endo thinks that the world is really not worth it. No one talks about kindness at all. Everyone is protecting their own interests. Criminals are like this, officials are like this, and ordinary people are like this. It seems that only a few aliens are conscientious and feel life wholeheartedly, and truly show kindness, and will not start from their own interests.
For example, predecessors, such as Ultraman. He needs time to understand that good and evil are one and the same, and they are all in his heart, but when he acts, he often cannot respect good and evil, and can only choose interests.
Just when Endo was overwhelmed by the case, the murderer took the initiative to find him and confessed everything. This is a young man and a member of the anti-alien force.
"I killed them to protect Ling Qianjin. I killed all those who made mistakes. I have no malice." The murderer said that he was executing the kindness in his heart. Although the means were a bit fierce, his original intention was good, and he was to protect the secret of Endo's daughter.
"Is the anti-alien force still running?" Endo was shocked.
"It can't be considered an operation. Since the peace agreement was signed with the Star Cluster Council, our main job is to monitor the aliens on Earth, not assassinate them." The murderer said: "Of course, I killed these retirees with the consent of the top leaders, because they don't want the things that happened back then to be exposed."
Is it the top leaders again? However, this murderer seems to know the truth about his daughter, but he didn't report it, but chose to conceal it. It seems that he is indeed a conscientious killer.
The anti-alien force killed the seniors, and Endo wished that they all died. At this time, as a criminal policeman, he did not act according to the law, but chose to protect his daughter and cover up the murderer. He did not think that the victims should be given justice because they did not deserve it.
Besides, if the murderer is arrested, the truth about his daughter might also be exposed, and he has to protect his daughter. The last point is that he believes that the murderer is really repenting, and the murderer is just a victim of the evil system. It's all the high-level people who are trying to protect their own interests. The high-level people think it's necessary to kill the aliens, and the high-level people think it's necessary to kill people to silence them.
The high-level people don't care about civilians at all, they only care about themselves. The high-level people don't care about the murderer at all. Endo believes that if he arrests the murderer, the murderer will be just a victim of the high-level people, and the law cannot be advocated, and justice cannot be promoted. In this dark world, protecting his relatives is the only thing he can do.
In the end, knowing the identity of the murderer, Endo did not arrest him. Anyway, the high-level people don't talk about the rules first. If the high-level people don't talk about it, why should I talk about it? In this era, just take care of yourself and protect your family.
Obviously Endo can't protect his family. If there are no rules, no one can protect his family. The rules are a contract for everyone to take their own interests. If there is no such contract, then everyone can take the interests of others, and then no one can protect themselves.
Just like casting a punishment on a tripod, Zichan's rules will be challenged from all sides, and it is impossible to defend against them.
Without a social contract and rules, when everyone only cares about themselves, they will face temptations and attacks from all sides, which is definitely impossible to resist. Simply put, it is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking about it. In an era without rules, you either become a thief who thinks about others, or become the target of thieves. There is no third choice.
If the top leaders break the rules, it is suicide. Endo broke the rules and was also unable to protect his daughter. Therefore, after breaking the rules, new rules must be established, so the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon. If there are no more advanced rules, then the old rules can only continue to operate. Because having rules is more stable than having no rules, even if the rules are backward, it is more stable than having no rules. This is an objective fact.
