Pick off the boring leaf
"Right is right, it doesn't matter what it is."
While considering whether to strangle Ji Yunding to death, it tried to explain something for the first time, but gave up after explaining one sentence.
“Why is it incorrect about the snail and the fish?”
Ji Yunding did not want to pursue these abstract concepts or engage in philosophical discussions at such an inappropriate occasion, so he seized on two examples and continued asking.
It pointed at the splashing water at the bottom of the waterfall. Ji Yun looked at it carefully, then was stunned.
If Ji Yunding's memory was correct, then the position of the splashes that Ji Yunding had observed before seemed to have changed slightly.
Fortunately, Ji Yunding did not rashly destroy anything here, but just turned over the soil where there was nothing. Otherwise, these zombies might not be so "friendly".
“But they always show up.”
It said, looking into the river through the current, and tried for a while before catching the new fish, squeezing it to death.
"They're going to come back again and again, and we know they're going to come back again and again."
"I'm curious, why don't you want to crush me to death?"
Ji Yunding looked at it with some genuine doubts.
"Humans are not special creatures. There should be no difference to you."
There was no answer, it seemed to have lost interest in Ji Yunding, and just continued to catch the fish, crush them to death, and throw them back into the river.
"Why did you choose the human form? Will you have more similar consciousness towards humans? Do you have self-awareness? You..."
After realizing that the zombies on the other side were trying to strangle her again, Ji Yunding quickly reached into the water several times and caught four or five fish. He held several lively fish between his fingers and looked at it.
"Answer me, so you can get rid of these things more efficiently, that should be correct."
Ji Yunding had learned an irresistible negotiation skill from Ji Liuxing - starting from the other party's perspective and making offers that were considerate of the other party.
It looked at Ji Yunding's efficiency in silence for a moment, then slowly shook its head.
"have no idea."
“Actually, I’m quite similar to you guys.”
Ji Yunding sighed, crushed the fish and threw it back into the river, then reached out again and quickly caught another one.
"Honestly, I didn't expect to encounter a creature here that looks so much like what I experienced in high school. It feels... very subtle."
In addition, through this comparison, Ji Yunding suddenly realized that she had really been influenced by humans and became very human. Maybe she could not integrate into the society yet, but at least she looked very human.
"junior high school?"
"What? You didn't receive compulsory education either? Never mind. I haven't met many people who have received compulsory education since I started working here. It feels like I've entered another world. It was hard for me to imagine that the same world people encounter at different stages can be so different."
Ji Yunding kept catching fish, killing them, and throwing them back into the river.
"So-called compulsory education is to teach you to understand the world, feel the world, and how to interact with the world and with others. Probably, Nono said, I don't know, I only remember the exam.
If you try to interact with other people, your life will become very difficult, but I highly recommend you try it - just a personal suggestion."
After saying this, Ji Yunding paused, grabbed a fish irritably, and crushed it.
"It's really annoying. My speaking habits have been polluted."
Although no matter who it is, the other party should be more mentally polluted by Ji Yunding.
It looked at Ji Yunding quietly, as if it understood and didn't. Ji Yunding knew that she should use more beautiful words to describe this beautiful creature, but she only had one idea.
It feels like talking to a tree stump, which is like talking to a cow.
"I'd rather go to Sister Tang and smash ten sandbags than talk so much... I'm so tired."
Ji Yunding’s social energy was exhausted, and he began to catch fish in silence under the gaze of the zombies.
She was rarely forced to talk to people she didn't want to talk to. With the perfect team-building mechanism and system guarantee for investigators, she had someone to help her with chores for all the tasks she had taken on so far, big or small.
Look within for the answer... dig up the soil and you'll see snails, put your hand into the river and you'll see fish, both of which are "wrong" in the eyes of the zombies.
Ji Yunding felt that this place was very depressing - it was like a changing unchanging, with a staggered and orderly arrangement, and even where the next leaf would fall was predetermined.
As she caught the fish, Ji Yunding suddenly realized that her movements, speed and frequency of catching fish were becoming more and more fixed without her noticing.
If you live in such a place for a long time, you will blend into the so-called "order". Once you come into contact with the normal world, your body will not be able to withstand the disorder and will collapse and die.
It is probably similar to people who have been in an information cocoon or a single group for a long time, and can't help but curse when they see a slightly different opinion from their own.
Ji Yunding stopped, stood up, and waved at the zombies.
"Excuse me."
It was stunned, hesitated, raised its hand stiffly, and waved to Ji Yunding - although it didn't seem to understand.
Ji Yunding strolled to a corner where the zombies couldn't see him, stretched out his hand, and quietly released a little negative energy with the tip of his little finger.
Negative energy almost does not exist in this space, and bloodlines like Ji Liuxing can only use negative energy, but they do not have much negative energy themselves. On the contrary, they all seem to be born with a lot of spiritual energy to repair the damage caused by negative energy to the body.
The difference between Ji Yunding and him is that she is truly weird, and has two polar energies, and the two seem to have reached a wonderful balance. Therefore, it can also be used in this situation.
The direction of the wind changed.
Ji Yunding felt a little relieved and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but he found that the zombies in the distance seemed a little uneasy.
However, this degree of imbalance soon became part of the new balance. Ji Yunding felt that as the new wind direction was fixed, the zombies settled down again.
Okay, blowing you all up... That's definitely not going to work. First of all, Ji Yunding doesn't have that much negative energy, and secondly...
"'Don't go to either end,' is that what you mean?"
She whispered to herself, sitting down to think and feel the overwhelming positive energy.
Uncomfortable and depressed, but at the same time, his body uncontrollably felt "safe" and "comfortable." Ji Yunding looked at his reflection by the river and found that his facial features had begun to undergo subtle changes.
If this continues, he will probably become a zombie. The negative energy that Ji Yunding carries can only keep him alive for a while. If he uses up all of it, perhaps Ji Yunding, as a weirdo, will "die" here because he cannot get the negative energy replenishment.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunding stood up and walked towards the woods, carefully examining the tree trunks. Finally, she found a subtle, irregular hole on a tree trunk, which seemed to have a borer inside.
Ji Yunding placed her hand on the tree trunk and finally found a weak negative energy. She tried to absorb it and wrapped it around her little finger.
The slight tingling sensation is just like the itchiness on the body after sweating in the summer, as if it can be washed away by taking a shower.
It was magical. Ji Yunding remembered that in a fairy tale told by Wei Qianqiu, barren mountains, dead trees, dark clouds and heavy rain were used to set off a quiet bird's nest in the bushes behind a waterfall. At this time, in the chaos, order seemed so desirable.
But when he was really in such a place full of positive energy, Ji Yunding felt that the tingling on his finger was particularly soothing.
Just a little bit is not enough, we need to collect enough to push the order here to collapse.
Seeking answers from within... It seems that Ji Yunding will be busy for a while.

Zheng Nuo was sitting at the administrative liaison office, completely stunned by the news.
"A method to open a different dimension channel without a team leader?"
Leviathan moved again.
In contrast to the research team led by people from the aristocratic families, the group sent by the civilized world to study the aristocratic families and monsters is collectively called the analysis group.
The main task of the analysis team is to study the people in the aristocratic families who possess special abilities. Through the data recorded by the logistics team and communication with the research team, they conduct fundamental research on the principles of the mysterious power.
In other words, patch up materialism in this world.
Each person in a group is assigned an analysis team of more than ten people to conduct research on their personality, habits, abilities and even thinking in all aspects.
The dozen or so people that Ji Liuxing introduced to Ji Yunding last time were the members of his analysis team - unlike the others, Ji Liuxing was actually doing research work, and he was also the leader of his own analysis team.
These dozen people can be said to be the ones who know the most about bipolar energy, and they also have the specific method data that Ji Liuxing mentioned, which allows them to open the extradimensional channel without him.
Every time it is fired, three thousand lives are lost.
In his last few days, Ji Liuxing said, "The fate of mankind should be decided by mankind," which has caused these dozen people to be troubled until now.
Due to Ji Liuxing's special nature, he has always had a great degree of tolerance and freedom. Both his research group and analysis group are relatively independent and do not need to cooperate with anyone except for routine work.
If these source data are destroyed, their future will be over. Turning it in is the easier option, and then just cover your ears, close your eyes, don't look, don't listen.
Faced with such a choice, this group of top geniuses could not figure out the correct answer.
What is right for them, what is right for the world, what is so-called "right".
"What should I do? Did the team leader really not leave any hints?"
A member of the analysis team held his head in pain.
"He said we can hand it over, but he is just passing the buck to government officials and letting them make the judgment, and they may not necessarily implement it."
"But what if it is implemented? No, the so-called "may not be implemented" should be the team leader comforting us."
Someone who was a little calmer analyzed,
"Do you remember? The bomb in the leader's hand just now... was activated in an instant. Once it is handed over to the higher-ups, the decision is not made by humans, but by a system that runs like gears."
Everyone was silent, at a loss. The sultry summer air seeped through the cracks in the window into the air-conditioned room, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
——————
On the other side, Ji Yunding was looking at the black energy spreading to his wrist and frowned.
Not enough, far from enough.
Ji Yunding looked around. The fish were gone, the snails had disappeared, the woodworms in the trees were silent, and the apples that occasionally grew between the leaves had shriveled up and fallen to the ground, blending into the soil.
Behind the waterfall here is a rock wall, and there is no bird's nest hidden. Ji Yunding squatted back by the waterfall, wondering where else there is disorder.
Inward.
When he was out of ideas, Ji Yunding would take two steps back and then look back to see if he could find another angle.
"The correct choice...is divided into three sentences."
Ji Yunding looked at the water drops splashing on the river bank and thought.
Make the right choice; always make the right choice; and when the right choice is not possible, try your best to make the right choice.
Objective, subjective, procedural justice, consequentialism, materialism, etc. ... The change in thinking angle will lead to a huge difference in the so-called "correct" judgment.
Before, Ji Yunding successfully used "correctness" to convince the zombies, but...
"This is correct, but it is incorrect for you."
Ji Yunding looked at the crystal clear river and muttered to himself - there are no fish here anymore.
I’m so annoyed by this world that forces pragmatists to think about philosophy.
Ji Yunding rubbed her solar plexus, stood up, and prepared to continue walking. She really didn't like staying where she was, and always felt that she would only feel at ease if she had something on hand.
Suddenly, Ji Yunding heard a sound, very close to her, moving with her.
She turned around and saw that the zombie she had communicated with had walked away from her and was not at a safe distance. She immediately took two steps back.
Ji Yunding sighed - something without footsteps was really troublesome.
"Why are you always jumping up and down?"
It looked at Ji Yunding and took the initiative to speak, with a very slight doubt in its tone.
"What are you doing?"
Ji Yunding moved his gaze to the left side of its chest. He did not answer its question, but just listened attentively.
An organ was attached to a blood vessel, struggling and beating in its body, and its movement was slightly disordered. Ji Yunding was sure that there was no such sound when the zombies approached before.
Once you interact with others, things always become troublesome, even yourself. It seems that they are the same.
"No way... does this also count as internal?"
Ji Yunding rubbed her ears and looked at it, feeling a worse headache. It was as if the question she had just thought about had hit her like a boomerang.
If Ji Yunding can kill the fish, why not let it turn back into the walking corpse it once was?
Hypocritical correctness, with human arrogance and prejudice, has a higher degree of sympathy for t-humanoid creatures. Or, it is just empathy for people who are similar to themselves.
Fortunately, Ji Yunding was not the kind of person who would dwell on such issues. She just waved at the zombies and took a few steps back.
"I'm clearing the negative energy here, please stay away from me. This should be the 'right' thing for you guys to do."
Ji Yunding is not interested in such questions at all. She just does whatever she wants, and can be kind or cruel as she pleases. After all, her standard is her absolute self, and any other standards can only stand aside.
It looked at Ji Yunding, its tone still calm, but one could vaguely hear a hint of panic.
"I just picked a leaf."
"What did you say?"
Ji Yunding turned around and stared at it in a daze. Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to be able to vaguely see its appearance.
It seemed less beautiful, at least not in the sense of "beauty" that was instilled into the mind, but something had grown on it.
"Why did you do that?"
Ji Yunding couldn't help asking. And it handed the leaf to Ji Yunding, looking a little helpless, like a child who had done something wrong.
"I don't know, I just suddenly didn't understand why I couldn't pick a leaf, and I did it."
Ji Yunding looked at the leaves he had picked, and from the petiole he saw that they were densely packed with borers, gnawing at the leaves. Because there was a lot of positive energy here, the leaves were still able to feed these insects and remain green.
Under Ji Yunding's gaze, the little black dots continued to gnaw on the leaf flesh.
