night.
After the heavy rain in the day, the stars in the night became brighter.
As Suli lay on the bed in the hotel, looking at the starry sky outside the window, he couldn't help but think of what Aigber had said that night.
——"The so-called right is only you from the beginning to the end."
Such words are hard to find in daily life, whether in normal or abnormal situations.
But not only did these words appear, they were spoken in a very deafening voice.
How to say it?
It's probably a feeling that makes one's scalp tingle, but at the same time one feels that there really is someone in the world who trusts another person completely.
As a person who is trusted, Suli is not panicked, but he still feels...
…
This is indeed a different world.
Those who traveled through the previous realm would not be so straightforward.
Then, accept all of Egbert's performance calmly.
And using this mentality, we can start to infer that our reluctance to point out certain truths is really just because, once we put something that others are unwilling to accept in front of them, are they bound to become hysterical?
The moment the question came into being, Suli had a negative answer in his mind.
He was unwilling to point out everything, perhaps because he did not want to see other people's disbelief. But more importantly, it was because he had never gotten the sense of security he wanted in this world.
The sense of security in modern society is relatively simple.
A small house of your own where you can live and avoid being evicted by the landlord.
And a kitten with a good temper who can definitely make people who live alone feel accompanied.
Furthermore, what is needed is only the basic wealth for daily consumption.
All of this has been achieved during the years he has worked hard.
Life is supposed to be like this, flowing slowly and peacefully like running water.
The sudden time travel and the position of a beggar forced him to change his originally peaceful way of thinking and turn it into a radical one in order to break away from the status quo.
Just like when Roy first met Sully, he wanted to kill him. When Sully first met Egbert who gave a gold coin to a beggar, he just thought that he was a sucker who could help him.
Cyril? The original definition was that of a child who could lend a hand and try to lend a hand.
Euphia? Kind landlord.
Others who came after him had more or less similar labels.
but.
None of these people can give Suli the sense of security he wants.
This lack of security is not because of not having a house, a pet, or money, but because of this world.
The world is not stable enough. Houses can become ruins at any time. There are no rules for protecting pets. Even wealth and what it can bring are extremely uncertain.
Will die...
Will die suddenly.
Everything you own will become insignificant in the tide of the times.
Although it was the same before the time travel, the self-choice and the passive choice are completely different.
Therefore, reason told Sully not to be so self-righteous as to tell others what he saw from his own perspective with a negative and wrong attitude.
Then, with the superposition of multiple moods, everything became something he could handle on his own.
After Egbert finished speaking, Sully's only reaction was to drink the water in the glass in one gulp, and then returned to his room in the hotel in silence.
But now, Sully thought, he needed to have a talk with Egbert.
But when he opened his door and knocked on Egbert's door, Roy, Mavis, and even Rook inside the house all froze at Sully's voice.
"Is Egg asleep? I have something to say."
The two of them came to Egbert's room with the intention of jointly warning this increasingly outrageous man. As they spoke one after another:
"What do you mean you like to hear the young master scold you?"
"You really don't feel embarrassed when you say this?"
And, "Even if we all know that what the child did was right, don't you think that your words would put too much pressure on him?"
Before Egbert could respond, Sully knocked on the door.
Egbert's eyes lit up on the spot. When he wanted to sit up from the position where he was being interrogated so that he could open the door to welcome Sully in, he was held down by Roy and forced back to his seat.
Roy said with an unhappy look in someone's eyes: "Do you know what will happen if you open the door now?"
Egbert's eyes said, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation as to why I couldn't open the door for Lord Sully the first time."
Roy was too lazy to care about his look and said directly: "Tonight, in your room, two people and a crow."
"Do you understand the situation? If the young master takes a look at you, he will definitely think that the three of us are teaming up to suppress you."
Egbert looked at him disapprovingly and said, "Isn't it?"
Roy's expression was serious: "Of course not!"
Mavis raised her hand and added, "If that were the case, we wouldn't even give you a chance to talk right now. Instead, we would just drag you out of the hotel, put you in a sack and beat you up in a secluded place."
Egbert: ???
The crow was in human form. He scratched the corner of his eye with his fingertips and said, "That's right, that's right."
"So what are you going to do?" Egbert's eyes became increasingly unhappy. "You don't look like you're going to jump out of the window and escape. Don't tell me you want to eavesdrop on my conversation with Lord Sully."
Roy sneered: "Do you have any opinion?"
Mavis: "I'll make sure he doesn't have any opinions."
The crow finally killed him: "If you have any ideas, then I will tell Suli that you hung dozens of Cyril's paintings of him in the basement of the red brick building in Sardina, and you also offered fruits and burned incense every day."
"Such trifles are no threat to me," Egbert said dismissively.
"And if Sully knows about this, he will definitely ask you to destroy all those paintings."
Egbert: …………………………
Finally, the crow turned into a little crow and stood on top of the closet.
Roy took the clothes that Sully had to put on every time the Raven transformed and went into the closet.
Mavis thought about it for a long time, and finally hid behind the curtain.
Egbert then got up and opened the door.
Sully entered the room, and before he could say anything, Egbert naturally picked up the cold tea on the table, heated it up using the light element, and poured him a cup of steaming hot tea.
After staring at the tea for a long time, Suli decided not to say those polite words and said directly: "I'm sorry that I haven't told you what I really think before."
Egbert said matter-of-factly: "Of course you don't have to tell me everything you think."
"If I can't understand your thoughts, it just means that I haven't done enough."
Sully: Thank you. Suddenly I feel that the thoughtfulness of the hot tea is nothing compared to the suffocating feeling brought by these words.
But he still wanted to say: "Thank you for your abnormal trust, but I hope you can be more normal."
Egbert showed an innocent expression.
Su Li held his forehead helplessly, lowered his head and said: "The reason I apologize is that I am sorry that I did not give a reasonable response after you said such an important thing before, and went upstairs directly."
Just when Egbert was about to say that it was okay and that Lord Sully had his reasons for everything he did, he was interrupted by the person involved who already knew him very well.
"Don't say anything. Let me speak."
"In my opinion, ignoring what others say and acting in a self-righteous way is inherently disrespectful, so that's why I did it."
"Likewise, I'm sorry that I haven't told you my true thoughts before."
Suli held the warm teacup, looked at the patterns on the wooden table, exhaled softly, and then said: "For me, I think this world is terrible."
"It's so bad that I've questioned countless times in my heart, is it really necessary to live in this world?"
As soon as he said this, Egbert's eyes turned red: "Why do you have such an idea?"
Su Li said in a tone that was not in line with his own characteristics: "This is just a kind of thought that I can't explain, but it makes me question it, a thought that comes from my heart."
"I can't get this thought out of my head. Maybe that's what pessimism is all about."
"But the important thing is not this, but that I have never told you, never told you, why I thought I couldn't survive in this world."
Sully pressed his neatly trimmed nails hard on the texture of the table, and the two fit perfectly.
After a pause, he said, "I cannot accept that danger is everywhere, nor can I accept that death, something that should be feared by people, is treated as normal."
"But what hurts me the most is that even though people wouldn't easily put a life-or-death situation in front of me, they never think that being injured is a big deal."
Suli admitted that he was arrogant and did not hesitate to label himself with this label.
If he kicked the corner of the wall with his big toe, his face would turn as green as a melon rind for a whole week.
But the people in this world are different.
Those fights on the outskirts of the city ended with broken ribs at the least.
"Becoming stronger is necessary, because this is how the world works. If you are not strong enough and do not have a say, you will inevitably be oppressed. I understand this. But it is precisely because of this understanding that I hate why I exist in such a world."
The nails pressed into the lines and dug into the palm.
"I feel suffocated by this world and all the rules that people take for granted today," Sully said.
"I thought that after the Pope's death, Ophelia, who had not yet taken the throne, would be restricted by the sober king. Someone who has been on the throne for many years must understand the responsibilities of a king better than the highly egoistic Ophelia."
"I also think that after the death of the Pope, from a certain perspective, Dietz, who also recognizes human rights, may slightly reduce the oppression of theocracy on the people's minds."
"I still think that time will always change everything from bad to good."
"But the result is..."
Sully suddenly found that Egbert had walked over and sat down opposite him. He grabbed the hand that his nails had dug into his palm and forcefully pried it open.
Egbert said nothing, and Sully understood that this was a sign that he was listening quietly.
Suli smiled, a smile without any emotion.
"Everything I thought was going to get better, in essence, led us to a deeper abyss."
"Are these derived answers to the question you asked before, whether the division of power among humans was given by monsters?" After Egbert flattened Sully's palm, he silently withdrew his hand.
"Yes." Suli nodded affirmatively.
"The division of strength that humans are using now is the level of plants."
"Because I don't have elemental power, I didn't have any idea about this level division."
Because it doesn't matter.
"But after the Pope gave the answer, I suddenly realized that the order of kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species is from large to small in terms of size and subordination."
"This is equivalent to..."
