Chapter 6 Section 6

"A person who is moody is not necessarily a schizophrenic, and a person who loves to dream is not necessarily a paranoid." (Take off the glasses, looking very tired) "Your little tricks—whether I am an audience or not." Well, or actors—I have seen too much by now. What is fact? What is cause and effect? ​​The reason for this is first of all to choose a suitable system. However, a common reality Yes: You are on the other side of subjective idealism mixed with hard-line determinism, and I am on the other side of objectivity, mildness, and free will: just think about it, this fact is more important than a funny, lengthy and ridiculous one-act play. What exactly does that mean?" (slight pause) "In the system I have chosen and firmly established, the answer is really simple, that is - none of us can convince anyone. So let's give up the ideological Concentrate on the specific content.” (Pause again. Since the man was speechless, he had to make some additions) “This point, since the beginning of the interrogation, has been repeatedly hinted at by me and Emphasis——You didn't care, it can only show that you are deeply trapped in your own world view of reincarnation and cannot extricate yourself."

"You hate silence, you hate solitude, you hate being placed on an island. Even if all systems are really subjective, that doesn't prevent you from understanding it as the whole world and believing that all other people inhabit the same world Among them." (Muttering to himself) "No one understands the true appearance of this world. The human eye itself is the limitation. However, we only discuss it in the human field of vision, and we only judge it with your and my concepts. The problem—almost certainly, it's you, not me, who are terribly wrong." "Then, I'll say the same thing to you." (Looks a little annoyed, but manages to hold back and just adjusts his glasses) "Tsk, forget it... such an argument is meaningless. You will say it , go ahead, halfway through the story, the most taboo thing is long-winded preaching." (Weakly gestured to the recorder, ready to continue) "In your philosophy, of course I was very wrong-you just It’s just speaking your mind.”

"I mentioned the black pig that shed its flesh in great chunks and sprayed blood all over the room. This couple who crossed racial lines - ugly enough to be alive ——They still don't want to let others see their ugly appearance after death. As I said before, the thick curtains were hung again, and countless cloth strips filled all the gaps in the room: you can imagine the scene, even a trace No light can get in." "That is to say, the small and fat people who committed suicide are unwilling to be seen..." (The expression seemed to have suddenly realized something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally didn't say anything) "It's nothing. Continue talking Bar."

"However, the corpse itself also has its own life. What's more, the black pig chose such a bloody and horrifying way to adjust the balance of the original fixed pulley structure-even if the room is tightly closed, it can't prevent moisture, mold and those tiny things. Erosion of scavenging larvae: Nature needs to take back the invalid aggregation forms and create other types of aggregation forms. The responsibility lies." (Sighing) "There are invisible demons hidden in the air, seemingly nothing, and Not nothingness—white maggots, crawling out of nothingness. All the weak and damp corners, all the pores, and those dark corners of the corpse are these wriggling, dedicated messengers of nature who are doing their best to work and perform. The stage. An uncomfortable and noisy individual with a short life span of just over two weeks. In a good environment, it can leave nearly a thousand eggs. In this closed room, there are no birds, no dragonflies Predators, praying mantises, frogs, etc. I keep them at a distance, and, because the house is in this house, I also eat seven or eight spiders, and the population--with small families of lizards and geckos-- They have all been driven out of this ecosystem." (Intoxicated with the narration, biting his lips) "Please forgive my nagging. You should know that the explanation of these background knowledge is the motivation for my later actions Analysis is decisive."

"It doesn't matter if it works." (nods) "However, the part about the flies can be stopped." "Exactly as I hoped. In fact, what I want to say is quite simple - this port house is not only the home of the Portuguese tyrant and his sweet pig pet, but also my home. The original house After the Lord hanged himself, I, this black mouse, became the dictator of the entire territory. I don’t want this place to become a fly farm! Of course, the person and the pig themselves don’t want to be surrounded by insects and insects. Rot fungus devoured them, so they used the cotton rope wick I supplied to make a simple timed self-immolation device-the specific settings, because the complicated discussion about the mechanical structure is difficult for people to understand, here is I will skip it. However, the explanation is quite simple: it is a structure similar to the principle of a kerosene lamp, the only difference is that when the lamp is burned out, the pre-prepared fuel will be spontaneously ignited... They have experimented once before , in order to ensure that the whole plan can go smoothly. Ha, when alive, of course, you can rule out accidents and control the situation. However, after you die, even if you watch the plan deviate from the track, there is nothing you can do."

"You extinguished the wick?" "That's right. I've already said that the home we share with the butterfly must be protected." (Showing pride again) "I can give you a guess—well, of course you know exactly what that butterfly looks like , can you imagine it?" "Probably the type with bright colors and beautiful markings." (After thinking for a while, replied) "I don't know anything about butterflies. But even so, I can give some inferences: The butterfly is probably easily regarded as a moth by human beings and killed with one blow. How could the Portuguese accept it as a pet, and specially prepared withered flowers for it, so that it could survive the war years? , can there be a peaceful shelter?...Ah, I understand: these 'flowers' in the previous life, in the series of events that happened in this life, just correspond to the little man who gave the girl to her in order to cover her. A little money. Thinking about it this way, it really is an extremely tight correspondence."

"At least on this point, you are not wrong. The inference about the butterfly species is also extremely convincing." (Nodding his head) "Although it cannot be said that 'a black mouse's eyesight is similar to that of a human species. Compared with words like this, they are so consistent'—you can see that in this correspondence, although you don't want to admit it, the most important thing is the behavior of the Portuguese." (Slight pause) "My A small roommate, the reason why he hired the girl was to seek cover for his love behavior with the fat man; He himself—proves that he still has the aesthetics that can be recognized by the society and the general public. And this butterfly that stays among the withered bouquets every day, and the girl who lives in a big house and is dominated by money in this life , using the same word, can fully summarize their role in this whole incident: 'proof'."

"This kind of dependence is a proof to the world, um...it's a complete correspondence." (Nodding again and again) "Now, I'm more curious about the appearance of that butterfly." "If you don't tell me, I also know: you have no interest in Dongbao's Mothra monster movie." (The expression when speaking seems to be quite frustrated) "Although you definitely know Godzilla, you don't necessarily know Godzilla. Learn about Carmela - the dinosaur and the fire-breathing giant tortoise, which is the basis for many cute monsters in video games."

"Although I am not interested, the pronunciation of the word 'Mothra' sounds somewhat similar to 'Moth'. Therefore, even for the other two words you mentioned, besides Godzilla, I have no understanding of this kind of monster, and I can estimate through reasoning and association that what you are talking about should be a huge butterfly." "Exactly. Notice why I mentioned 'Mothra' instead of directly talking about the peacock butterfly—you know, the peacock butterfly is the prototype of the monster Mothra." (slight pause)" There are two key points. One, it is precisely the association you make from the name of the monster combined with the characteristics of the monster you know and have the same name—indeed, the pronunciation of 'moth' is similar to that of 'Mothra', But the other half of it is 'Mother'. This gigantic imagination has the symbolic meaning of 'maternal greatness'."

"Or your love for butterflies has a certain degree of Oedipus complex. But this is not surprising-because even ordinary love relationships are often explained in this way." "Secondly, it evolved from a small butterfly to a gentle monster that can tear down the Tokyo Tower. Its size has increased tens of thousands of times, and it has produced various abilities, but it is still a peacock butterfly in essence. For the previous life For Butterfly and her in this life, this is precisely a corresponding relationship: her body has become a lot bigger, because she has become a human being, she has enough IQ to speak, write, think about complex problems, and even enter T University. All these facts mean that in the process of reincarnation, due to the huge differences in races before and after, the behavior patterns of the reincarnated will undergo tremendous changes. In contrast, the essence of all behaviors is There is no change—this can be proved from the many correspondences we have discussed before." (Seeing that the audience has no desire to respond, he continued) "Although the whole of Europe, peacock butterflies are everywhere. It is distributed and multiplied, but in the port cities of Portugal, this kind of butterfly is very rare, and the color and appearance are even rarer. One is that the temperature is not suitable, and the other is that there are too many natural enemies. When it comes to natural enemies, It can also explain the appearance of butterflies by the way: I don’t know if you understand the common sense that ‘the appearance of brightly colored animals and plants is a camouflage camouflage to protect their privacy and life’.” (The audience just nodded and did not speak. He then continued) "Sometimes, such as intimidation, is also a protective behavior - bluffing, pretending to be a ghost, in order to scare away natural enemies and protect one's own safety." (Looking at the interrogator who is listening to him attentively glasses) "Peacock butterflies are exactly those huge eyes that do not have the function of peeping on their wings, matching the shape of their forewings, giving the natural enemies the illusion—of course, giving themselves a kind of comfort and hypnosis—letting them get lost in the Among the patterns composed of colorful spots and veins, it was mistaken for a fox or scops owl. During most of the time when it spread its wings and flapped, it did not dare to approach rashly. Then, the compound eyes, antennae, and mouth of the butterfly Only by using the organs can they fulfill their functions, collect nectar and maintain the body's supplies."

"Well, the scene of tits pecking butterflies is really cruel. I often saw the butterfly with eye-shaped stripes as you mentioned when I was young." Interrogation, it seems to be chatting) "I don't like butterflies, their bodies and wings are too abruptly connected, like two animals." "You have no way not to like it." (Speaking voice seems to be mocking) "Things that you think are not beautiful, others may be fascinated by them—just like me, no matter which reincarnation I am in, I will be fascinated by her. Otherwise, why do I have to do so many things? I am already very tired, very tired, according to those legends, it is like not drinking that bowl of Meng Po soup before crossing the Naihe Bridge..." "The memory of endless reincarnation is the same as the burden of eternal life. It is definitely not an easy task." "What we are talking about now is the correspondence of the most important characteristics of the 'butterfly', the carrier of the soul." (Ignoring the interrogator's comfort) "Just like what we are talking about now—whether the butterfly is beautiful or not is a very important matter." Subjective things. For example, I say 'you are beautiful', but you yourself say 'I am ugly'." (Looking at the recorder and saying) "However, for peacock butterflies, from the perspective of us as human beings in this world Looking at it, there is one feature that is obvious at a glance, that is - the eye-shaped markings on its wings." (Slight pause) "It is said that some scholars from Northern Europe have investigated the function of some 'eyes' and confirmed their camouflage In any case, in Butterfly's reincarnation, the existence of these 'eyes' - just like the obesity of the black pig, the mediocrity of the Portuguese players - can be removed from the appearance and viewed as a part of the soul The general characteristics of the general: Therefore, in this world, dark-skinned curly-haired fat people will hang together with inconspicuous little people, just like the girl I protected——she wears black-rimmed glasses." "And you—as a black mouse in the previous life—you are dressed in black!" (holding up the glasses like a conditioned reflex) "The black pig's reincarnation route abstracts the body shape into the main feature; the Portuguese The route of "Butterfly" is marked by "ordinary and inconspicuous"; the direction of butterfly needs to emphasize the camouflage of "eyes"; yourself, you are trying to maintain the unity of color." "Hey, don't you think it's strange at all?" (Looking emotional) "Since you care so much about symmetry, you turn a blind eye to such a big loophole? Selective neglect, contempt, avoidance..." (Looking at each other, For about half a minute, no one spoke) "Very well. You know, how we survived - I invited butterflies into my mansion, which happened to be in the Portuguese and the black pig's hut. As I said before, I destroyed their carefully prepared corpse incineration device. In this dark and almost sealed room, there are coagulated blood clots and minced meat everywhere. I should What should I do? Think about it, what would I do?" "You..." (horrified look on his face) "you ate their corpses, you mouse, and became a ghoul—like those Arabian legends!" "That's right. Interestingly enough, ghouls are pretty much all scavengers." (With a rather ugly smile) "Their prototype is the hyena - as you can imagine, very few ghouls eat live There are probably some moral factors in this phenomenon. It is generally waiting—you must have seen that extremely famous photograph, Sudan in 1994, the vulture photographed by Kevin Carter, waiting for a The girl died so that it could eat. It didn't kill her with its claws, it just waited patiently for death." "He later committed suicide - due to the pressure of photos and life, the South African, in order to stay away from the world, chose to commit suicide by using car exhaust. However, this incident is not surprising, he had committed suicide many times before: in In a country that was once severely segregated, any dissident would have the idea of ​​committing suicide—either the individual is sick or the society is sick.” "You know this very well: suicide is suicide—we've been on the subject all this time, haven't we?" (beginning to grimace) "According to symmetry—you'll know when I'm done—it should be four People die together, commit suicide together. One thing is only half done, which is very bad behavior: Of course, even suicide must pay attention to the order, this is very clear..." (No one speaks, another half minute of silence) "Tsk." (Want to light a cigarette. He took out the cigarette case and found that the only cigarette in it was used up at the very beginning) "This is so strange—there's only the last cigarette, and it's gone after lighting it up." It was an empty box, but I didn't notice it at all." "In the corresponding relationship in the previous life, the cruelest reality—the black pig, the butterfly, and the black mouse, all belonged to the Portuguese. The symbolic meaning hidden in this affiliation has far-reaching implications." (face expression Gloomy, murmuring to himself) "I devoured the dead meat of the black pig, and let my beloved butterfly feed on the corpse's gas. This is another life of extreme distance, isolation, and isolation—corresponding to the behavior of this life: For courage, I drank to the point of sleep - and so on, until the stench of corpses came, my body was rich, hers was thin, still alive, but the situation became difficult - no plan Leaving that house, this is the arrangement of fate and reincarnation. If you want to hear, I want to tell you: we did not struggle in the end, and the house in the port is actually a symbol of the entire human world. The Portuguese and the black pig, respectively Meaning corrupted spirit and matter—you can see that in this position, the spiritual realm rules the physical realm—that rot from the very beginning: the unconventional ethical Romance is a test of our moral cleanliness as an ordinary life—this is not a derogatory term, because the limit of this kind of cleanliness has been so low that it cannot be lowered. If you seriously think about the ability of "phantom vision" itself Symbols, we can understand that all non-human reincarnations are all in a vast human world: and time really does not exist. All immorality, all anti-intellectual evil, are more unbearable than bestiality There are so many grotesques and absurdities, all in the human world. In the end, this corrupted world has nowhere for us to go, and there is no way to survive except to still love each other." "Old-fashioned preaching." (Looks a little dazed) "Let's just say it, you couldn't bear it in the end, and couldn't find a way to escape that terrible world, so you had to kill her in the end—I don't know who the one who escaped? It’s obviously you. The human world view can confine the world to a hut, but there’s still the possibility of burning it up, and at the same time, it’s possible to open the door and go out...Sounds like such a smart black mouse.” "I ate the butterfly." (shaking head nervously) "I ate the butterfly... first the wings, then the tentacles, and finally the body - we ended up being one. I love her, she let me do it .I loved her, so in the end I died too: I chose the most painful way to die, jumping into a rekindled kerosene drum." "You're just comforting yourself, looking for a way to redeem yourself!" (somewhat out of control, moving forward, grabbing the collar of the man's black shirt, but not pulling it too hard) "Totally selfish, No matter which life it is in, it's the same!" "Have you noticed? Once you break through the illusion of this world, you can enter another reincarnation: but in fact, every reincarnation is an illusion. As I have said, time does not exist: and this reincarnation is about to come Crashed." (with an odd smile) "My Miss Butterfly, it's you—are you ready?"
