The three people present looked at each other.
Ding Yan was probably the first to object: "Impossible!"
He looked at the oath-breaker and said sternly: "No matter who you are, you are playing with fire now! I will not believe anything you say. Do you think I am stupid to believe you, the guy who tied up the prophet? "
Rather than choosing to trust this guy who didn't look like a good person, Ding Yan would of course trust the prophet who had been with him for several months! Looking at Ding Yan, the oath-breaker smiled.
"Yes, of course you will choose to believe what you want to know," she said slowly, "This is normal. After all, whether it is humans or monsters, subjective emotions always override objective facts. Even if always warns us to 'stay rational', when things really happen to us, people often lose the ability to think calmly because of various entanglements."
Patting Bai Ling on the shoulder, the Oathbreaker whispered in his ear, facing the other three people: "The same is true for you."
"Yes, of course you can choose to believe in this guy you think he is," she grabbed Bai Ling's hair, "but this may not be a truly useful method and theory for you."
"Have you seen the movie?" The Oath Breaker suddenly asked this question.
This question made the other three people slightly stunned.
This thing is almost nonsense.
In this world, unless you have not yet gained a special understanding of modern society, you should have at least some exposure to film and television works.
Looking at the other people, the Oath Breaker said gently, "Oh, it seems you have all seen it. That's great. Movies are a good thing. Although they didn't exist in my time, in your time, they are a tool for interpreting philosophical thoughts or a form of entertainment that provides audio-visual experience."
"I think those of you who have watched the movie probably always wonder why the protagonist in the movie looks so...stupid, right?"
Taking two steps back, the Oath Breaker pushed his nonexistent glasses and said, "Just like in horror movies, characters often use all kinds of ridiculous methods to push the plot forward. The mental journey of each character completely exceeds the audience's imagination. 'Why did she do this?', 'Why didn't he find someone?', 'Why didn't these people close the door?'... It can be said that the plots of some movies are simply the greatest challenge to a person's IQ."
"But you know, the people who make the movie don't know that?"
She looked calm. "Of course, they may not know. After all, it is undeniable that some people's IQ is not high enough. But in many cases, it is not because they want to do it, but because they have to do it. The plot needs a logical chain, just like the bullet of a pistol must appear within three acts. If you want the gun to go off, how can there be no gunman in advance?"
"So, everything is because the characters in the plot see too little, too little. Including you, it is the same. It is because you know too little that you are deceived by the so-called 'prophet'..."
A smile gradually spread across the face of the oath-breaker: "Information, information is the factor that solves most problems in this world! As long as one has the information, then one person will have absolute initiative over the other person during negotiations!"
Grabbing Bai Ling's collar, the oath-breaker couldn't suppress his smile anymore: "That's what he is like!"
"Do you think his predictions are accurate? No, no, no, it's only because what he said is predetermined, it's black characters framed on white paper that won't jump out! How can you expect the white paper to look up and see what's engraved on its body? All you can do is passively accept it!"
The oath-breaker shouted, "That's why you can't know that what he did to you is right and worth obeying?"
This sentence made Ding Yan and others silent.
This is probably a question that most "prophets" cannot avoid.
The so-called "prophet" is a guy who can see the future when others cannot. However, because others cannot see it, there is a lot of room for maneuver - how do you know that the future the prophet wants you to go to is better for you? The prophet is also a human being, he also has tendencies, and it is impossible for him to be omniscient. Since he sees things that others cannot see, he will inevitably take the initiative to choose a result. But is this result good for the chosen party?
It is easy to be suspicious when you know something that others don't, not to mention something as illusory as the "future".
Wang Weizheng, for example, did not believe it at first, and even now, he still does not fully trust Bai Ling's words. This is because he knows that what the prophet sees may not be the perfect ending, but only the "optimal solution" in his eyes.
A person is limited by his own knowledge and literacy, so it is difficult for him to give a perfect answer to a question, and the same is true for a prophet.
That's why oath breakers would say that.
She wanted to pry open a hole in these people's hearts and sow the "seeds" of doubt.
She had seen clearly that the two little guys in front of her had great trust in Bering, and this trust was almost blind faith - just like a believer in God. This was a very troublesome situation, because if an enemy who could predict the future had a few more people willing to believe in him at all costs, it would become quite troublesome.
So she needs to break these guys' trust in Bering as much as possible.
While thinking this in my mind.
The next second, Xun Mo said impatiently: "Who the hell cares so much about you?"
"It doesn't matter if the prophet is human or not, or if he makes mistakes or not, as long as he still stands on our side and stands firm, it doesn't matter!" he said calmly. "Who doesn't make mistakes? Unless he is God, how can he not make any mistakes? As long as we can reflect on ourselves after making a mistake and avoid making similar mistakes next time, isn't that enough?"
"I'm not so arrogant as to think that so-and-so can win all the way. If that were the case, I would doubt that guy, not his ability, but his mentality. Such people are often the first to collapse when they encounter difficulties that they cannot avoid. The key is that they have won too much and stood too high before, and no one can help them, so they can only bear it by themselves."
Scratching his ear, Xun Mo said in boredom: "No matter what kind of prophet or something else, as long as he is on my side, I will trust him conditionally. Even Director Wang, who is like my father, I have never trusted him completely. What does it matter? It doesn't stop me from treating him as a friend, nor does it stop me from carrying out his mission. Of course, it doesn't stop him from trusting me and letting me mess around."
Patting Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin on the shoulders, Xun Mo said with a smile: "Companions are something you trust. If there is a problem, we can discuss how to solve it later!"
Hearing his words, Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin both nodded at the same time.
The previous communication with Xun Mo made the two people fully understand that Bai Ling was not a statue to be worshiped on the stage, but a person who might need their help and a companion who was worthy of their trust.
Therefore, the oath-breaker's words did not cause much waves in his heart.
But they were calm, while the oath-breaker became angry.
"Ha, companion, ha!" she said sarcastically, "don't tell me that the means of your union are trust and friendship!"
"In this world, nothing can be relied upon except absolute power."
She suppressed her anger and tried to make her voice sound less agitated: "All trust is just putting your emotions as bargaining chips in front of others, exposing your weaknesses to others. In peacetime, of course, it's good for you and me, but once you encounter an unsolvable situation, then this bargaining chip will be targeted by others and will become a shackle that will trap you."
"Just like an undercover agent would not expose his family and friends to the enemy, once you are insufficiently powerful and turn to rely on your so-called companions, then all the so-called ties will become your weak points."
"That's what emotion is! Although it's worthy of praise and a noble sentiment that can be recorded in literary records, it's actually a complete weakness for human beings!"
With the oath-breaker's voice echoing in her ears, Ji Qianqin suddenly laughed.
"I see," she said, "you are a person who lacks love."
She was all too familiar with the feeling.
After her mother attempted to end her own life, Ji Qianqin was cautious and didn't want to trust anyone for a long time.
But during this time, she slowly underwent some changes.
Although Lin Ju has an expressionless face and looks fierce, she actually has a very good personality and can be frighteningly soft at times; although Ding Yan is stupid, he is very reliable at critical moments; although Li Jingwen looks timid, she is quite cute and a bit like Ji Qianqin when she was a child, which makes Ji Qianqin subconsciously want to rub her head.
Not to mention… a prophet.
He was the only one who, even after knowing something about Ji Qianqin's situation, still chose to respect her and not ask any more questions.
Not to mention that all his arrangements for Ji Qianqin so far can be considered appropriate. He neither held her back because of her status as a "preliminary member", nor excluded her because her goals were not exactly the same as Ming Zhou's.
Ji Qianqin had every reason to believe that if the prophet wanted to, then she probably had no secrets in front of him.
However, he never broke the last window paper and just maintained the utmost respect for Ji Qianqin.
This feeling is quite rare for a modern person.
Just like maintaining social distance is a difficult thing, especially not making people feel too uncomfortable or too alienated, the same is true for exploring secrets. If you appear too curious, it will make the person uncomfortable; and if you don't care at all, it will also make the person feel uneasy.
Not to mention the sense of security that the prophet has provided to Ji Qianqin so far.
For Ji Qianqin, Bai Ling was like what she said before, a "parent"-like existence, who could provide shelter and a stable sense of security, and also bring her complete preparation.
So after hearing the words of the oath-breaker, Ji Qianqin thought a lot and felt that this guy might be similar to himself and Li Jingwen.
A love-deprived guy.
This sentence is so light and has almost no impact on most people.
However, for some reason, after hearing this, the oath-breaker suddenly became furious! "Lack of love?!" Her smile was twisted and her laughter was piercing. "Love? No, no, no, I don't have any extravagant desire for such a thing. This is the biggest lie of others. To believe that 'love' can solve all problems is to overemphasize the power of the individual and the mind, and to deny the objective reality."
"Besides, even if you are willing to love someone, how do you know that person loves you as well?"
Grabbing Bai Ling's hair, the Oath Breaker looked at the other three people: "For example, right now."
She finally said the question that had arisen in the beginning: "He is a despicable thief who disguised himself as a prophet and seized your false trust. It's like a castle in the air. Once it's freed from the constraints of paper, everything will fall apart!"
"Because his prophecies were all stolen from real 'prophets', not things he saw himself!"
At this point, the Oath Breaker finally stopped suppressing his smile. "Don't you have any doubts? How can one person see so many things? How can he see the so-called 'future' without any influence? Everything in this world is equal. There is no such thing as unreasonable demands. The same is true for predicting the future - peeking into the future often requires paying a price that ordinary people cannot accept!"
"So he is the same. The so-called prophet is completely false. The person in the past was the prophet, and he is just a despicable, shameless, vicious and despicable thief, a robber who occupied someone else's body..."
The Oathbreaker said word by word: "All the prophecies you have listened to come from the prophet of the past. And the man in front of you is just a guy who is enjoying the gift of the 'legacy' of the guy in the past!"
"He is not even from this world, but an invader from another world!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Bai Ling on the ground moved slightly.
at the same time.
Following Bai Ling's action, Xun Mo, who was originally standing in place, suddenly jumped up.
Without hesitation, he pulled out a black pistol from his back and shot the oath-breaker in front of him twice! The oath-breaker did not even look at the bullets shot at him, but directly deflected them and continued, "Yes, the prophet you think of is just a pitiful scapegoat. The real prophet is not him, but someone else!"
"The real prophet left a prophecy, and this guy carried it out, and that's all!" she said. "You are just puppets, dancing on the hands of the former prophet and the current guy, dancing for his own selfish desires, with blades and bullets all over your face."
"The evidence is also very simple. We just need to take out the notebook this guy kept and decipher it, and we will know everything that happened! The symbols left by a person can be easily deciphered as long as we spend some time!"
Listening to the words of the oath-breaker, Xun Mo's face was as gloomy as water.
He just pulled the other two people into the bunker, and then "bang bang" two more shots were fired, pressing the heads of the other two people down.
"Listen," he said, pulling out two guns from his pocket and handing them to the other two men, "Don't worry about what that guy says. The most important thing right now is to rescue your boss."
He glanced at the Oath Breaker who was still chattering, and retracted his head again: "Now that guy is finally angry enough to lose his mind, this is the best opportunity for us. You must seize this opportunity..."
Before he could finish, Ding Yan nodded quickly: "Understood!"
Xun Mo glanced at him unhappily: "You know nothing!"
After reloading his pistol, he said calmly, "She may not be able to vent all her anger in such a short time, so I will be the main attacker and you will be the support. I will focus on causing trouble for her, and all you need to do is..."
The handle of the gun hit the wall, and Xun Mo said, "Look at your boss, and shoot all the bullets in the pistol!"
"I understand... Huh?!" Ding Yan was stunned.
He first glanced at Xun Mo, then at the pistol, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "I understand, this pistol is just like the bullets that stimulate potential in the animation, it can unlock a person's potential, right?!"
Bullshit! Xun Mo patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "This is just an ordinary pistol. Oh, it may be very lethal."
He said lightly: "It will just make a big hole in your boss's chest, but the rest is fine."
Are you kidding me?!
Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin looked at Xun Mo at the same time with the same expression.
Xun Mo stuffed the gun into the two men's arms again and said, "Why are you talking so much? Do you still want to rescue your boss? If you do, do it now!"
"I've said before that you should trust someone with reservations, but you have to trust others unconditionally in special situations," Xun Mo said, "Just like now, you just trust me, because I'm higher than you and hold a higher position than you, so don't talk so much nonsense!"
"Remember, you only have one shot!"
Xun Mo said softly: "You have to hit your boss accurately. If you miss or deviate, then that guy might notice it. In my opinion, she might also be a 'prophet'! But unlike your boss, she is not proactive."
"But this doesn't mean she has no ability at all. Once your first shot misses and she realizes what you are going to do, it will be impossible to hit her again! So be sure to watch out for the bullets!"
"I'll try to hold this guy as far away as possible. You guys take this opportunity to give your boss a good shot!"
Hearing this, Ji Qianqin was stunned: "Wait, since she has the ability to predict the future, then we can't even shoot a single shot..."
Xun Mo said unhappily: "It's not that easy!"
"There are currently three prophets in the world, and each prediction requires a huge price to be paid, which means that their predictions are not absolute," he said. "It is strange that your boss can make predictions without any pressure. I have doubted it before."
"In short, she definitely can't use the prophecy here directly, because she can't bear to do it!"
After pushing the other two people, Xun Mo quickly said, "Anyway, go quickly, don't dawdle!"
After being pushed by him, the other two people stupidly pushed out of the shelter and dispersed to other shelters.
After watching the two men leave.
Xun Mo glanced at his cell phone and sighed.
"S/L, svae\load," Xun Mo said to himself, "You asked someone to send this to me. If there is any problem, don't blame me."
"Anyway, I'm just following my own understanding. If you really die, the most I can do is put two more paper wives in front of your grave during the Qingming Festival."
After saying this, Xun Mo put the phone directly in his arms.
On the phone screen were a few simple letters: "SL".
In addition, there was another relatively long email that was sent later... It was a scheduled email! The signature came from a special number. Xun Mo remembered that the owner of this number was a little girl in District A.
