Chapter 1558 The World is a Big Matryoshka
In this regard, Lei Zhen can actually empathize.
For example, Olivia is his woman, but if she uses his name to cause trouble and satisfy her own selfish desires, she will be killed.
From a man's perspective, he was cheated on; from an interest perspective, he can be replaced.
Besides, emotionally, there is not much depth to it. It is totally incomparable to the women at home. At most, he is just a valuable toy?
A bit grim, but true.
Not to mention Olivia, even the ones he loves most in the family would be killed if they cheated on Lei Zhen.
Of course he didn't know what the prophet was thinking, but if you look at it from a man's perspective, it's probably the same.
"Prophet God, perhaps my actions have saddened you, but I can make amends." Lei Zhen said solemnly, "I once told Jawaharlal about the cybernetics of the 10,000-meter beast. You are the dominant beast at the bottom of the ocean, and I want to be the 8,000-meter-deep sea beast. In fact, you have been training me, haven't you?"
Now that it’s open, why not speak openly?
"I like raising pigs. After fattening them up, I can slaughter them and eat the meat. My mouth is full of grease! And I'm raising pigs now. I raise pigs all over the plateau. I wait patiently until they're fat, and then I feast on them."
"At first, I thought I was being treated like a pig, but after careful consideration, I don't think that's the case. Even if you raise pigs, there's no reason to raise a wild boar like me, right? Because I'm completely different from them, and it might not go smoothly when it comes time to kill them. But what if you raise a knife? I'm definitely the most suitable candidate!"
Lei Zhen was saying what he was thinking. He was not a pig. If someone raised him as a pig, the biggest possibility was that he would become pig feed.
"So I guess you need a stronger enforcer, rather than raising pigs for meat. After all, at your age, you should have lost interest in meat long ago, and of course, women as well."
"Then the question is, why did you keep me so fat? I can't guess for now, but I'm sure you must have some use for me."
"I don't know if what I said is right. If it is, I will prepare the 8,000-meter sea beast and strengthen your control over the world. If it is not, please let the prophet know."
Be an 8,000-meter sea beast, not a 10,000-meter-deep monster.
I would rather be second to one person than above ten thousand people.
This is Lei Zhen’s true thought and also his principle.
Being above thousands of people is good, but few people can truly hold the real power; being under one person may seem bad, but in fact it can maximize benefits and influence the one above thousands of people.
Sometimes it is not appropriate to prefer being the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, because the head of a chicken can never be separated from the chicken, and the tail of a phoenix is still a phoenix after all.
A small leader in an agency is no different from an imperial envoy when he goes to the grassroots level.
What Lei Zhen wants to do is to be able to control the people above him and check and balance the people below him, and become the most critical link in the entire system.
It's just like dealing with the affairs of prominent families. In the end, through a series of means, he becomes the most critical link. No matter which family has problems, they have to see his opinion first.
"You've done a good job cracking down on population crime." The prophet smiled and said, "It proves that you have a deep understanding of the situation. Although you are not in the game, you can see inside."
"Prophet God, please don't laugh at me. I just wanted to see you as soon as possible. Now that I have seen you, I will naturally not go any further. No matter what you need, I will help you with it." Lei Zhen said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I don't actually need much." The prophet waved his hand and said, "I've reached my limit. My body can't handle the frequent replacement of parts."
"Prophet God, I said I would celebrate your 200th birthday."
"Lei Zhen, your words make me very happy, but they are totally unrealistic."
"Perhaps?"
The Prophet smiled and raised his arms.
People on both sides immediately stepped forward to support him and helped him put on his shoes and get out of bed.
"Lei Zhen, do you want to truly see this world clearly?" asked the prophet.
"I do, but sometimes I don't." Lei Zhen spread his hands and said, "I feel like this world is not friendly to me. Every time I see more, I feel like I'm being trapped again."
They are all nesting dolls. The world is a big nesting doll, without exception. Unless you are born in a mountain village, you can never leave the village in your life. You herd sheep, get married, get married and have children, and then herd sheep again after having children.
Anyone who wants to climb up will be trapped in a nesting doll.
I am not satisfied with a monthly salary of 3,500 yuan. After working hard, I am still not satisfied with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. I continue to work hard to reach a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, but will I be satisfied?
Human desires are like a world of nesting dolls. In the end, you find that no matter how many steps you climb, you are still just cattle and horses.
The same is true for being an official. If you become a deputy section chief, you want to be a section chief. Above them are deputy division chief, division chief, deputy director general, director general, deputy minister, minister general, etc. The positions are even more varied.
Every threshold is a new world, layer upon layer, with no end at all.
"Your description is very apt, but you really don't want to see what the last layer is?" The prophet smiled.
At this moment, his face was filled with kindness, and the strange light in his eyes was replaced by warmth. He led the way like a true prophet, helping the lost children to solve the mystery.
"I do!" Lei Zhen nodded.
Of course I want to see it, just like in Poker, after playing for seven or eight rounds, even if I know my cards are small, I still have to show them to see what my opponent's cards are.
It doesn’t matter how much money you lose, you have to look at the cards.
This is especially true for dying people. They must know why they are dying, otherwise they will not be able to close their eyes.
"Come with me."
"good."
The prophet walked forward slowly, his old body swaying as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but after all, he had eaten too many people and did not need any support.
There is a long passage in front, with relief murals on both sides, including figures, landscapes, objects, etc. As you go deeper, these murals change and begin to trace back to history.
This is first reflected in the changes in the characters' clothing styles and hair, which transition from the modern era to the steam age, and then from the neat era to the Renaissance.
Science and technology, culture, industry, agriculture...
Finally reaching the bottom, the relief murals were frozen in the Age of Chivalry.
"arrive."
As the prophet spoke, the attendants who followed him bowed and left, leaving only him and Lei Zhen.
"What is this place?"
"Open the door."
In front of him was a closed wooden door, which was very heavy. Lei Zhen had to use a lot of strength to push it open.
“Squeak…”
The friction of the wooden pins was extremely harsh.
When the wooden door was pushed open, a warm breeze blew in from inside.
At the same time, the originally dark space suddenly became bright. In the huge space, there was nothing else but an extremely huge wall stone and a huge oak tree carved on it.
Walk so far to see the trees?
"Come, let me explain it to you," the prophet said softly. "Through this Tree of Life, you should be able to see the true face of the world."
Tree of life?
Lei Zhen frowned slightly and followed him to the oak tree relief.
