Chapter 52: Rebirth in the Fire
He Jing Yayoi was afraid that Morobushi Keimitsu could not bear it, so he had to divide the memory, which was not very long, into three parts and waited quietly for Morobushi Keimitsu to digest it. In He Jing Yayoi's view, humans are very fragile. Many humans will go crazy for various reasons even if they have not come into contact with things beyond their own level. He was very worried that Morobushi Keimitsu would have a mental breakdown because of this.
He stared at Zhu Fu Jing Guang's painful and twisted expression without blinking, and after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and hugged him, gently patting his back. He saw that humans all expressed comfort in this way, and although Zhu Fu Jing Guang was not a human now, he should still think of himself as a human.
Zhu Fu Jingguang felt the embrace of He Jing Yayoi, and couldn't help but reach out to hug him back, with his head lowered on He Jing Yayoi's shoulder. He had become a soul, and could not feel the warmth from the place of contact, but the natural influence of the god of death on the dead still made him feel comfortable.
He controlled himself and didn't use too much force, not even wrinkling the hem of his clothes. After a while, Zhu Fu Jing Guang sat up, blinked, and gave He Jing Yasheng a forced smile, "I've finished reading it, um... Do you feel okay? It's like reading someone else's story, it doesn't feel real at all."
Kazukage Yayoi looked at him in confusion, but did not expose this obvious lie. Kazukage Yayoi tried to divert the attention of Morobushi Keimitsu, "Bourbon, um... Zero, I see him almost every day. He should be looking for the bomber with Conan now, do you want to go see him?"
Hearing about the bomber, Zhu Fujingguang, who had just calmed down, frowned, "Bomber? Will Zero be in danger?"
When Kazukage Yayoi was transmitting his memories, he also informed him of the news that Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji died in the line of duty while defusing the bomb, as well as the news that Date Kou and his fiancée had passed away. So when he heard about the bomber, Morobushi Keimitsu's first reaction was that Amuro Toru would be in danger. But then he thought again, the god of death was right in front of him, and it didn't seem like a big deal if he died. As long as Kazukage Yayoi wanted, Amuro Toru could become a soul like him and float around.
"Bourbon's life span is not over yet, so he'll be fine. As for the others, well... the seven people I saw, I've extended their lifelines. It's a small experiment." Of course, Kazukage Yayoi would not change the lifelines of every deceased person. It can only be said that the people this time were particularly lucky.
"Is this possible? That's amazing." Zhu Fu Jingguang exclaimed, is this the power of gods? It is something that humans cannot understand at all.
"It's nothing special." He Jing Yayoi's eyes turned to the sunset outside the window. There were so many joys and sorrows under this beautiful sky. "If I can't change the world line, things like life lines are useless garbage. I can change life lines because they are not important to this world, so the world allows me to modify them. But you are different. You have connected to the world line, and it won't let me revive you."
He could feel that this world would not allow Zhu Fu Jingguang to be resurrected, so no matter how many lifelines he gave, it would be useless. Gods are not omnipotent, even if he is the only god in this world. To humans, the power of gods is unpredictable, but in fact, what they can do is very limited. Humans think that the power of gods is powerful, but it is only because gods know more rules than humans. After all, aren't we all creatures subject to the same restrictions?
Seeing the obviously dimmed eyes of Kazukage Yayoi, Morobushi Keimitsu, who was originally still sad, came over. He wanted to pat the other's shoulder like Amuro Toru, but felt it was not polite. He hesitated and chose to put his hand on Kazukage Yayoi's hand, trying to comfort him, "Humans cannot control their own destiny, what does it have to do with Yayoi. If humans want to change their destiny, they should work hard themselves, instead of asking Yayoi to work hard."
Kazukage Yayoi looked at Morobushi Kagemitsu's serious expression and felt quite amused. It seemed that the other party had some overly embellished imaginations about him because he was saved by him. In order to gain an ordinary friend instead of a spiritual believer, Kazukage Yayoi couldn't help but correct the other party's mistakes, "You may have misunderstood. I don't want to change the fate of mankind. Besides, I have joined the organization, the organization where you are undercover." So don't think I'm a good person.
Obviously, this sentence was a critical blow to Zhu Fujing. He was obviously stunned, and his eyes revealed confusion and emptiness. He stumbled and said, "Why, why?"
Why would a god want to join the organization, or is it because of the gods that the organization can do whatever it wants? Did he mistake the villain boss for a benefactor, or is the organization really acting as a hero of the night, doing things that only gods know and humans don't?
"I'm still in a very high position now~ um~ Gin and the others can't order me around." Kazukage Yayoi looked at the CPU overload on Morifushi Keimitsu's face, blinked and said something that made Morifushi Keimitsu's heart and lungs stop, "I need human souls to restore my energy, and the organization has many souls that can restore me."
Zhu Fu Jingguang withdrew his hand from Kazukage Yayoi and took a step back with a dull expression. He originally thought that Kazukage Yayoi was passively accepting the soul, but he didn't expect that there would be one who took the initiative to attack?
"You...you killed someone...?"
"From your human perspective, it is." Kazukage Yayoi nodded. Amuro Toru had asked the same question before, so he naturally gave the same answer to Morofushi Kagemitsu.
Zhu Fu Jingguang stood up directly this time, his expression was even uglier than when he accepted the memory just now. A bloodthirsty, ruthless god, he can make people live if he wants to, and kill people if he wants to. Humans have no ability to resist. This is more troublesome than the organization! Calm down, if Kazukage Yayoi is really bloodthirsty, he won't save people. Zhu Fu Jingguang forced himself to think, "Human perspective? What about your perspective?"
This is indeed the key point. He Jing Yayoi used his hand to indicate a length of half a meter, "Their lifeline is only that long. Whether I kill him or not, he will die. So in my opinion, it has nothing to do with me. As for what the lifeline is, it is what I have been feeding you."
Zhu Fu Jingguang recalled the white silk thread he had eaten, which turned out to be the lifeline. Was it a new lifeline or the lifeline of someone else that had been deprived? Zhu Fu Jingguang was a little afraid to think about how many lives he had eaten. Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness, and knowledge can also bring destruction. His expression was even uglier than before.
"I...Is the one I'm eating new or someone else's? If you don't feed it to me but give it to someone else, will the others not die?"
He Jing Yasheng hesitated for a moment. He could vaguely feel the emotions coming from Zhu Fu Jingguang, pain, depression, and regret. What happened suddenly? Although he wanted the other party not to rely on him too much and not to place his emotions on him, he had never thought of asking the other party to give up his life.
"Did I do something wrong? It's new, I just spun it. Well... even if I don't feed it to you, I won't give it to anyone else. But if you insist that you don't want it and let me give it to other people, they really won't die, but I won't do such a thing." Kazukage Yayoi reached out to touch Morobushi Jingguang, but the other party hesitated for a moment, and still came back and stood obediently by the bed.
"I don't know what you're angry about, but as gods, generally speaking, they won't take the initiative to change the lifeline of the other party. Moreover, it's not that humans are completely incapable of changing the lifeline. It's just a game between humans, and I won't stop it. Just like humans won't care about two little birds fighting over food, right?"
Although this metaphor seems somewhat arrogant and full of discrimination to humans, it makes Zhufu Jingguang feel relieved. In any case, although the gods in front of him are a bit willful, they have no intention of actively harming humans. Moreover, it is not his self-consolation, but it is true that he cannot control and Jing Yasheng to extend the lifeline to others. Don't waste your energy on things that you can't do anything about.
"I'm afraid you will kill people on your own initiative. After all..." Zhu Fujingguang was a little hesitant whether to talk about the organization. For Kazukage Yayoi, the organization should be a very beneficial existence.
"Because I joined the organization? Well... I'm sorry, in my opinion, there is no essential difference between it and the hospital." In the eyes of Kazukage Yayoi, one of them is a cook, and the other one is also a cook... The organization killed those whose lifelines were broken, and those who were not saved by the hospital also had their lifelines broken. Is there any essential difference?
These words left Zhu Fujing speechless. He had never thought that the hospital would be reduced to the same level as the organization. Although both were dead, one was wantonly depriving others of their lives, and the other was helplessly trying to save them. How could they be the same?
“Yayoi, this is different for humans. Even though it is the same death, the death is different.”
He Jing Yayoi was confused by this paragraph, what was the same, what was different. He tilted his head and looked at Zhu Fu Jingguang, motioning him to continue.
"Human life is not about length. Some people live for a hundred years and commit crimes such as burning, killing, and robbing. Their lives are not worth envying. Some people live for less than twenty years, but they can still help others and save many innocent lives. When the former die, people will cheer, and when the latter die, people will be sad. You should have met many people. Haven't you seen their stories?"
Kazukage Yayoi inevitably thought of Konishi Narimi, who seemed to have said something similar about using his life to exchange for a possibility of change. However, shouldn't this be purely out of the other party's interest in oneself? If the other party bullies oneself, then one must want him to die, and if the other party helps oneself, then one must want him to live. What does this have to do with human life?
“I don’t really understand. Humans seem to be very particular about moral nobleness, but gods don’t care about this. And I don’t think it’s any use for others to cry when someone dies... At that time, they were all taken away by me... uh, they were all absorbed by me. Even if they were not absorbed by me, they would have dissipated into basic energy..." He Jing Yayoi carefully used more considerate words to express his thoughts, and looking at Zhu Fu Jingguang's brows that were about to be wrinkled into a 川 shape, he spoke more and more quietly.
When Zhu Fushi Jingguang saw Kazukage Yayoi's reaction, a trace of helplessness flashed in his blue eyes. He sighed softly, "Well, you have a point, but humans need morality to maintain society. After all, humans are too weak. If everyone does whatever they want, they will perish soon. If Yayoi is a god, then naturally there is no need to consider these things."
Without moral shackles, how can humans survive if they fight and fight every day? No one dares to look forward to tomorrow, everyone is selfish and enjoys the present, and it will be destroyed soon. Moreover, humans with better group consciousness are more likely to win than humans fighting alone. In the evolution of tens of millions of years, most of those who survived are humans who are more inclined to cooperate and stabilize.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the moral level of human beings is getting higher and higher with the development of the times. However, this is simply unimaginable for gods, after all, gods have always been solitary and will not gather in groups.
"Then... were you sad for others just now?" Kazukage Yayoi felt that Morifushi Jingguang was no longer sad, and asked tentatively. His golden eyes were clear and pure, shining with curiosity. Compared with most people, Morifushi Jingguang was the one who should cry for fate, so why was he worrying about the fate of others first?
Zhu Fu Jingguang thought of his oath to the cherry blossoms, and he smiled helplessly, "Because I am willing to sacrifice myself in exchange for the lives of others, rather than live because of the sacrifices of others. I have my own persistence, even if I have killed people with my own hands, it does not affect my practice of my own path, but hundreds of people were exchanged for only me, and now I am just a soul and can't do anything. I can't accept it."
It's not like he hasn't killed people in exchange for his own life, because he believes that if he stays alive he can save more people. But now no matter how many people are sacrificed, he is just a soul. Even if he is resurrected, he is still an illegal resident in society. What else can he do except follow Kazukage Yayoi? Why should a person who can't create value let hundreds of people sacrifice?
Kazukage Yayoi, who had only a half-understanding, spoke hesitantly, "...Well, then, let me ask you to do something?" Looking at the phone in his hand showing an incoming call, isn't this just something he can do?
