Central Government Building, tallest building, lobby.
Lin Guang sat on the chair, closed his eyes and seemed to be waiting for something.
A robot moved in and spoke with a godly voice: "Linguang, I'm being held back. I'm using the robot to pass a message to you. Su Mingan is heading your way. If you want to keep him here, this is your last chance."
"Of course." Lin Guang looked at the lilies in his hand: "I have to stay."
The god said, "What are you wearing? This kind of clothing is not suitable for fighting. Where is your defensive clothing?"
Through the robot's visual acquisition device, the god saw that Lin Guang's dress was particularly strange. He was wearing a black Hanfu with patterns of white cranes and bamboo branches embroidered on it. The length of the Hanfu dragged down to the bottom of his trousers, making it very inconvenient to move.
"What do you care about me?" Lin Guang said.
“…”
It was rare for a god to be scolded, so he said no more and turned away.
"Wait." Lin Guang called him.
The robot turned back, and the voice of the god came out coldly: "What's the matter? I said that after invading the ruins world, I will not kill you and Lewis. I am not a person who easily breaks a promise."
He saw Lin Guang sitting on the chair in a somewhat decadent posture, his back slightly bent, his eyes still with the usual confusion, and a lily in his hand lying listlessly next to his Hanfu.
Lin Guang drooped his eyelids and was silent for a while before speaking.
"No, I want to ask you a question." Lin Guang said, "If you want to show flowers to your friends, you have to pick them from the flowerbed. If you want to show a bird to your friends, you have to lock it in a cage, and you can only show the imperfect side of the gift."
"If you try to be a good person as Lewis said, the end result will be that all your paintings will be burned. If you try to take back the painting tools, you will end up killing a child who has them."
At this point, Lin Guang's eyes were particularly confused: "But why can others easily understand what feelings and love are?"
"Why was Xi able to smile and give Lewis a silk ribbon on the Fuyuan Festival? Why were they able to make Lewis play the piano with a smile, and why was Luo able to dance with him at the dinner?"
After decades of traveling and practicing smiling in front of the mirror privately, he can now smile like any other person.
He wants to make his friend happy, so he tries to put on a practiced smile, even though he can't actually detect what "happy" means. He can't relate to any positive emotions.
If it was not born as a lotus, the plant in the mud could not be pure white.
The god heard this and said, "Then let me ask you, if you can save the world by killing one person, will you do it?"
Lin Guang said, “Yes.”
"What about killing 10,000 people?"
Lin Guang affirmed: "Yes."
"Killing a million people, or even ten million people, will save the world? Will you kill them?"
Lin Guang still said without hesitation: "Yes."
"What if Lewis was among the 10 million people killed?"
Lin Guang immediately changed his words: "No."
The god said, "Really? Didn't you want to kill me just now?"
Lin Guang replied: "Because Lewis is one of the '10 million people', I won't do anything."
The god said, "So, this is what makes you different from others."
Lin Guang was confused and asked, "Is there something wrong with my answer? Even Tretia and the others would come up with the same answer as me."
The god sighed, as if he had some pity: "What I said was not about the answer at all - but that you did not hesitate for half a second during the answering process, and you immediately gave the answer as my question changed. If it were someone else, they would at least ask some other questions, such as who was the person in 'Kill One Person', and whether it was Lewis. This kind of question contains many hidden conditions, but you can't find them."
……Yeah?
Lin Guang was slightly startled.
“That’s what makes you different from everyone else.”
The god seemed to laugh a few times, and then there was a sudden flurry of sounds. Lin Guang listened carefully and there seemed to be the sound of burning fire.
Five seconds later, the god's somewhat complaining voice came: "Asking you these questions almost made my hair burn off. I don't want to comfort you anymore. Think about it yourself."
After a pause, the god said, "By the way, you can start now, as soon as possible."
"Is Beilissel dead?" Lin Guang said.
"...Xiao Bei is dead." The god lowered his voice and said, "That's it."
With a "click", the robot hung up the communication, leaving Lin Guang alone sitting in the hall, twisting the wilted lily in his hand.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while, the flower in his hand spinning with his fingers. The warm light around him focused on his pale hair, and his slightly long eyelashes blocked the haze in his eyes.
After a moment, he whispered:
"[The arrest of the two leaders who were directing the strike was enough to put an immediate end to it. What dominated the soul of the group was not the need for freedom, but the need for slavery.]"
"[They are so inclined to obey that they instinctively submit to anyone who claims to be their master.]"
“…”
"……Yeah?"
He placed his hand on the scarlet hose beside him, and his eyes were like two swimming fish, sliding across the embroidered white bamboo on the cuffs.
On the virtual screen, the scenery is still as beautiful as spring.
…
Strips of air trembled in silence, and thunder flashed a blinding white light.
There was a violent storm outside the window, like countless whips hitting the glass. Su Mingan dragged his bloody right leg up the stairs, leaving a blue and red bloodstain behind him.
