Chapter 75 Chapter Twenty-Five

Mercury C said: "'Evil itself'? Stop talking nonsense. Is that it? Surely not. It's just your 'fear', he calls himself 'evil' just to make you afraid. Hmph, To put it bluntly, that guy is a part of you, or in other words, a large part of you. To put it bluntly, it depends on how you decide, and this explanation is more acceptable to me." I still don't get it? "Do you know how 'Odin' died? He was swallowed up by a giant wolf named Fenrir." As he spoke, Mercury C pressed his thumb against his chest. "Wow, hahaha. Maybe one day you will be swallowed by me too."

After being revived by Mercury C who uttered wild words, I hurriedly cut the world apart. I stretched the two long arms of my consciousness straight between rooms eight and nine, all the way to room 303 in Viharabi Kojima, but there was no longer what I thought would be Morinaga twigs and shoots that will become "pioneers", but that doesn't matter.Fate and revelation are not absolute orders.I continued to extend my arms to the east, inserting into the end of the world in one breath.Then it stretched to both sides with a "creak", and the world was greatly opened up.Even the Pineapple House is fully open.

That was the signal from "End Moment", a huge world jumped out from the section of Pineapple House with a "bang", I only took a sneak peek, and was immediately reborn by that dazzling and fragrant world as a "barrier" = Surrounded by the newly born "End of the World", nothing can be seen anymore. That brand new "barrier" is not white, but mixed with a variety of colors constantly swaying, it looks so beautiful and weird, and its surface is also uneven.It smells a bit weird, but it only takes a moment for the kids to get through here, so they probably won't mind.

I thought of the vast world on the other side of the "wall", and the companions scattered into it.Farewell, detectives.Goodbye, Angel Rabbit.Finally, goodbye to the children I am about to send into it. Because I couldn't find the English equivalent to sayonara, I had to keep repeating Sayonara, Sayonara... But after saying it many times, even I didn't know what I was talking about, so I stopped. Is this also the collapse of Gestalt? Could it be that after a person repeats grief and suffering repeatedly, this kind of gestalt collapse will be triggered? Could it be the same with joy and joy?What about the desire to keep repeating seriousness and living well?

Xiao Zhi said beside me: "Disco, you idiot, you must want to shoulder all the responsibilities by yourself. Although this kind of toughness is indeed in line with your image of a tough guy, you must never really become alone. The world Didn't he create it with others? If there was only one person left, he would become as weak as before. And being weak, although I don't want to borrow the words of that kind of person, I think it can be regarded as a crime. Because a person can become strong as long as there are others. Although it also depends on one's own efforts. Right? So, Disco, you must never leave me."

The weak, evil and strong punishment are words from my "sense of guilt". Although the guy may have quoted this sentence just for a prank, I still chose to remain silent. I have nothing but thanks for this wise twig. As my partner who transcends time and space, Xiaozhi is not the kind of person who will be obediently when left aside. She seems to be protecting Xiao’s safety while following me from the edge of time and space, so as to give me assistance when necessary. . When Xiaozhi restored my severed stomach, she didn't cry like last time. Experience makes a person stronger.

So, with the experience of the old world, will the human beings of the new world become stronger and wiser? Hope they will. As I prayed, I abducted children all over the world with Twigs, and watched as the world we lived in decayed rapidly. Shouldn't the human species last too long? If good things gradually lose their meaning and become covered in bruises while being repeated, justice and ethics will have no chance of winning in the end. Even evil will be weakened in the same way, but it will never lose its original meaning and suddenly turn into good. In this way, in the shit-like system of eternal return, human beings can only be constantly worn out.

If they didn't become wise enough, the new world that started on that twin's ark would one day start to rot. But I also know that human beings create good things too, and I'm even more aware that they sometimes suddenly tap into their inner goodness.If the world is to live in the right direction every day, it has to be injected now and then. Even if I am scorned and insulted by various people every day, there are still people who support my actions, so Xiaozhi and I can keep smiling every day. The so-called other is actually a huge cog. In the chain formed by these gears, the world has brewed a new world, and this world has such a system that can brew a new and better world, which makes me feel that this world does not only exist with bad things.

However, when I am exhausted, I am also full of doubts about the system itself.As the decay of the old world and the creation of the new world are repeated, the cycle of regeneration may gradually weaken, become rusty, and eventually become riddled with holes. But there's no way of figuring that out in the world I'm in right now. There's just a lot of sullen, tired humans here, and I'm inevitably affected by the world. Only the smile on the face of the twig beside me is my final salvation. She is my hope of living every day. Even so, I do have other hopes. Even in the world I live in now, there are still many normal human beings.Like William Edie and Chris Mackay.Chris is a well-known DJ in New York. He is very suitable for William's character, and he has been carrying out anti-Sylvester Stallone movement in Manhattan for a long time. For this reason, many young people "die young", but this is good.Anyway, that island should have been a dangerous city.

Even the scenery is so beautiful.While I've traveled the world abducting children, I can find beauty in very ordinary places even if it's not the Himalayas, Alaska, or Bora Bora.For example, on a certain river bank in Mumbai during the day, beside the small pier built by the owner himself, on the forgotten old enamel washbasin, there is a shiny green frog squatting motionless. Seeing this scene, I will stop temporarily Footsteps, watching it quietly, guessing where it is going to jump in my heart.The midday sun, the mud, the river, and the frog, these small things also have their own beauty and correctness, especially when the frog croaked in a thick Indian accent, "There are no dead ends in the world, some just stop when they are tired." When I saw the frog in the footsteps", I was so moved that I almost cried up to the sky.

I brought the bamboo branch that Kong Kong and Diandian gave me to Lun Lun, and it ate it immediately after taking it. "I'm full." The mother panda bowed deeply to me with tears in her eyes, but I didn't need to comfort her.For there is not only sadness in its tears. I know very well.The hope for the future that the child has is exactly what the mother has always prayed for. I still think of the tip occasionally.Now Sue Inoue, who has become Shuitiangong, is growing up as an ordinary girl. In fact, at that time, when I was about to die in the "End Moment", what I was thinking in my heart seemed to be something superficial, worrying about her future, that mind seemed to have also turned into a reality, and my mind turned Hoshino Masato's body into reality. After recovering, I entered it and took Sue to Hoshino’s house. Hoshino’s mother had been divorced at that time and had remarried with an affair partner, so Sue became Sue Inoue and grew up healthily, and my mind seemed to change from time to time. The face kept dangling around Shao.What are you going to do after becoming her boyfriend? Although I think so, that is no longer my problem. Anyway, I am very happy to see that Shao is safe and sound. In fact, there is another one, which is a secret hope that I haven't even told Xiaozhi. When watching the new world leave in "End Hour", I secretly made a small change in it.Although it might be something that absolutely cannot be done, but there is no way, impulsiveness is the devil. In fact, at that time, I suddenly remembered the structure of the beginning and the end of the old world, and impulsively modified the new world into that donut-like structure.I turn the two worlds into rings and let them intertwine with each other... (See Figure 19) I did this to avoid a situation full of uncertainties where there is only one connection point between the two worlds, Fengliju.I am worried that if the history of Pineapple House disappears under certain circumstances, the new world will go to a place beyond my reach. There is nothing to hide, I just want to abandon this old world in the worst case and escape to the new world with Xiao Zhi, haha. But because I made it into a circle on my own initiative, some kind of cycle similar to "eternal return" may be brewed in the new world, and it will slowly decay. In this way, I am really the chief of all evils. But I'm a small human after all.So please forgive me. Xiaozhi is by my side every day, so I can continue to work hard.Why did I plan to send Xiaozhi to the new world before that "end time"? Now I really can't agree with my thoughts at that time.Even if this world is always next to the new world, it is completely different from the distance you can touch it with your hands, the distance you can see a smiling face when you turn your head, and the distance you can listen to it with one ear. Today I also strictly observe the efficiency of one person per second, planning to abduct 70,000 children. There is no longer good and evil in my actions. I welcome such a gestalt collapse. Also, Xiaozhi and I really think of Mercury C frequently.No matter how many times we reminisce, we laugh out loud because it was so funny. He actually swallowed the "Blackbird Man" in one gulp! I don’t know whether it’s “evil itself” or “my own fear” in my belly. Anyway, Mercury C, who is not a good thing, never appeared again. Where is he now and what is he doing? Those delicious Japanese sweets are being made somewhere, right? "Don't think that I will come back to save you every time you encounter danger." Mercury C carelessly dropped that sentence, and disappeared into a corner of the new world or the old world, but human hope cannot be suppressed. The hope of mankind has created a new world. From this point of view, if the source of all creation is hope and the desire for a better world, then no matter how much evil is brewed in it, no matter how the repetition of history will make things wear away, the world will They will definitely be reborn into a better world, and even if that rebirth will wear down in the process of repeated repetitions, I hope that it will be overcome. In the sound of music like this, Muse and I are still dancing to this day.
