Chapter 644: The sage abandons wisdom, but the thieves stop (600 plus)
"The trickster kills people very quickly. If there are no regular restrictions, maybe the most common trickster can kill a whole street in an hour... Why is there a limit?"
"The existence of strangeness is almost beyond comprehension."
"We can only deduce the reasons from some of the patterns they exhibit."
"The author analyzed 8,729 strange events and finally came to the conclusion..."
"For the scheming, killing is not the purpose, nor is torture. They can obviously be more efficient, but they adopt the lowest mode. Their real purpose is to use terror and horror to permanently reduce a person's rationality value. Harvest reason.”
"They don't need low-level things like flesh and soul. Strictly speaking, human blood and flesh are just a bunch of compounds. They are essentially the same as beef and mutton, and they won't treat them differently... But in There are still bright spots in human beings.”
"The real difference between humans and animals is that we can think, have wisdom and rationality! The combination of many rationalities and wisdom forms civilization! This is the most proud thing of human beings, and our rational crown is also what the weird ones really covet. Things! They terrorize us, torture us, and reap our crowns with death!”
"...But human beings are helpless. No technology can observe or explain the existence of strange things."
"To sum up, we can draw a terrifying conclusion..."
"Our world is actually a huge pasture. All human beings are lambs. The ordinary ones are sheepdogs, and the big ones are shepherds... Only in this way can everything be explained... The author speculates that in ' Above the great mystery, there should be a terrifying existence, perhaps called the 'Rancher'..."
"Lambs are not the property of the shepherd, but belong to the rancher, so they and the sheepdogs can only eat one or two occasionally. This is a welfare allowed by the rancher, but mass slaughter is not allowed... because this is the rancher's Their property is not theirs. So even though weirdos exist, the people they kill are still nothing compared to the huge population. And the various so-called murder laws are just a means of cooking and forcing rationality... …”
"If the above inference is true, it can explain many things, and there is an even more terrifying conclusion..."
"That is, the rancher will one day come and harvest all human reason and civilization... I call that day - 'Judgment Day'. It is eternal despair. I hope it will never come!"
…
Zhong Shenxiu turned over a page of documents and saw the author - 'Ming·D·Tantai'!
"Dr. Tantai Ming?"
"It's an interesting guess."
Zhong Shenxiu nodded solemnly. ,
This guess is very close to some of his research.
And if the rancher really existed, he would at least be at the Dharmakaya level.
Perhaps the other party encountered the same situation as himself, so he used this method to alleviate his own madness?
I have to say, this may be very high.
"Lambs, sheepdogs, shepherds, ranchers... Very subtle reasoning that can explain many things..."
He put down the teacup and rubbed his brows.
There was sadness in Angel's voice: "We suspect that the Sly and the Great Sneak also need a certain rationality value to maintain themselves. This is one of the main reasons why they continue to kill people, and we acquiesce and keep observing."
"Once this balance is broken, it will cause quite terrible consequences! For example - the Guicheng incident!"
Zhong Shenxiu turned to the front and found the incident codenamed "Guilty City", and browsed the related introduction.
Before Shepherd's inference was drawn, the Foundation completely figured out the pattern of action of a 'big conspiracy'.
It was an ancient city where people occasionally disappeared.
As a result, they completely sealed off the area, prohibiting any tourists or scientific researchers from entering, and even used trickery to block all information from the other party, forming a complete seal.
This measure did work in the beginning, and the 'big trick' did not move at all for forty-nine years.
At that time, many senior executives of the Foundation celebrated with joy, celebrating that they had completely sealed a 'big trick'.
Then, the great horror happened!
Guicheng completely abandoned the previous regularity and began to move as a whole, killing people indiscriminately.
The Foundation used almost all the force, including a large number of armed members, armored vehicles, missiles...all technological weapons, but they had no effect on the city that was between reality and fiction.
Then, the strange city directly broke through the blockade and combined with City Z, completely plunging the city with a population of one million into death and terror.
"That incident was the most disastrous in the history of the Foundation. Humanity permanently lost a city. Then, hundreds of tricksters paid the price of being permanently admitted to a mental hospital. However, it was not that the big trickster was sealed, but that Let it become normal and resume its regular activities, no longer just killing people like crazy..."
Angel's mouth was filled with bitterness: "We analyzed afterwards that it was because after being closed for too long and unable to harvest rationally for a long time, it went crazy and went berserk. It completely abandoned the program set by the previous rancher and began to move and kill people indiscriminately. It became A natural disaster.”
"The shepherds in the past may have had sense and would follow the rules of the ranchers, but the crazy shepherds will no longer scruple about anything... After all, you can't ask a madman to abide by the rules..."
"What's even more ironic is that the end of the Creepy City incident was not that we defeated the big cone, but that after harvesting enough rationality, it returned to 'normal'... and began to kill according to the previous rules. Activity……"
"The shepherd falls into madness, harvests a lot of rationality, and then recovers... This is a very strange phenomenon, as if the rancher has set up protection for us. Without this 'protection', a crazy monster will It can destroy the whole world..."
"But He is not out of mercy, just to protect his 'property'..."
…
Zhong Shenxiu listened silently: "So, after the Guicheng incident, you re-established the principle, keep an eye on all the cunning, do not deal with it if it does not exceed a certain limit, and keep the dead within a certain limit...especially for those who It’s a super weird thing, like going to a courier company wherever you go…”
Angel said: "This is a compromise, a helpless compromise. Humans can only try their best to delay...and then wait for the day of judgment..."
There is no use guessing the truth.
Because there is no way to resist.
What can be obtained is eternal despair!
"The sage abandons wisdom, and the great thief stops..."
Zhong Shenxiu sighed, feeling that if understood from another perspective, it would be particularly relevant to the situation in this world.
