Chapter 152 Forum
At the end of the seventeenth chapter of the comic, the spirit He Jingtong slowly emerges from the cover of the illusion.
Interestingly, in the last shot, a certain author deliberately zoomed in. Therefore, from the ghost's inhuman eyes, the comic reader can only see emptiness, without any human figure.
Including the uncle who looked like he wanted to make a big fuss at the funeral.
There was a post on the forum that also soared in popularity at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[The clash between ordinary people and spiritualists finally begins [New]]
[Main post: When I saw my uncle criticizing my grandfather's behavior, the first thing that came to my mind was something I don't know if it could be considered a foreshadowing.
While in the hospital, He Jingtong acted as if he had no knowledge of the supernatural world. His uncle He Wanchen was in a similar situation.
Both of them didn't know much about the supernatural world, and the four sons of the old man also said that the young uncle had already chosen to study medicine early on.
So I personally think that my uncle didn't know about the other world before he faced the supernatural incident.
(Just to be honest, I don’t think this is just my own opinion, but a public setting, it’s just that it’s not described in such straightforward language)
Ahem, let's cut to the chase. After meeting the above unknown prerequisites, my uncle is the only one in the He family who looks at another world from an ordinary person's perspective.
For example:
Before Su Xu invented the glasses that could see spirits, ordinary people could not see spirits, so what they thought of as spiritualization could usually be directly linked to the supernatural.
When people die, they become ghosts, so there is a difference between humans and ghosts. Because they cannot be seen, touched, or communicated with, the boundary between life and death is so clear.
But after the existence of the psychic vision glasses, this boundary will become particularly blurred...
If one day, my relatives were labeled dead in society, but in fact I could see them and communicate with them just by wearing a pair of glasses, then I think I really couldn't believe that they died like that.
Of course, there is also a very obvious premise in the worldview of "Other Spirits", that is, otherness comes from human sin. From this perspective, this is the reason why I wrote the title of this post.
If you have a cute, clever and lovely sister, and suddenly one day she dies and becomes a ghost, and she shows an extremely vicious attitude, especially wanting someone to die...
In this case, can you really distinguish between reason and emotion perfectly?
You know her behavior and thoughts are wrong, but you can't help but be angry at someone. You just think that it's because of that person that your sister is the way she is now.
This is what an ordinary person with glasses that can see spirits would think when faced with the transformation of ordinary people into spirits.
But when other people face the same scene of supernatural celebration, there will be slight differences.
Because his transformation into a spirit was not caused by his own emotions, he just encountered a cruel and inhumane experiment...
In other words, He Jingtong himself did not commit any sin that could cause him to become a spirit, but he became a spirit because he encountered the spirit experiment.
As for the thoughts before spiritualization and the continuous use of the realm, I don't think that is something that can be linked to sin.
I think you all should be able to understand all the above information.
So I opened the title again——
The alien cannot control its instinct and wants to kill humans → The spiritual master kills the alien → The artificial alien is restricted by the contract and cannot kill people → My family member just became "another species" and did not even do anything wrong → The spiritual master who wanted to kill him, after taking actual measures, is it considered murder?
The causal relationship should be clear.
Therefore, the current situation will create a new problem.
If some of the original spirits are good, but are forced to become spirits because of the dark side of society - if they can also be restricted by the contract and not kill people, then should they enjoy basic human rights instead of being killed directly by the psychic? 】
[1: It’s terrifying to think about it, but I don’t know why, I always feel like the OP hasn’t finished.]
【2: I am the original poster. All the posts below and the main post were written in the memo and pasted directly afterwards. Also, I want to say that you are too quick in the first post.
Taking over the main building, I have always been curious about why He Jingtong has such a firm heart, and I think the strange spirit must be an afterimage.
When the prophet's ability to predict can only see one side at first, it may be true. But when he can see multiple lines of fate later, it is not ruled out that there will be a future where all humans in the "Occult" world will eventually become aliens.
If He Jingtong saw such a future and firmly refused to let that future come, there would only be two possibilities.
First, the arrival of that future will inevitably sacrifice the interests of a large number of people, or even their lives.
Extending from this perspective, too many people who knew and were familiar with He Jingtong must have died in that future.
People are selfish by nature. He can pull the gate to let the train go to him alone, but if there are also companions on the track where he lies, he will not have the choice to pull the gate.
Second, in that future, all humans and spirits with individual consciousness will eventually die, commonly known as the destruction of the world, and everyone will be doomed.
This is easy to explain. The spirits are born from humans. If all humans die, there will definitely be no new spirits. Especially between spirits, there is also a situation where spirits devour each other and evolve.
At the end of evolution, there will definitely be only the strongest spirit left. But if there is only one individual, it is no different from being exterminated.
Therefore, if He Jingtong refuses the arrival of that future, he can temporarily eliminate the two and only have one left.
I guess some people will think I'm talking a lot of nonsense now, but there is a key point, that is, the most powerful spirit is He Jingtong.
Having said that, I actually feel there is no need to say any more. Anyone who sees this will definitely understand what I am talking about.
But, just assume that I have a strong desire to perform.
In that future, one and two actually have the same meaning. As long as everyone becomes spiritualized, a large number of spiritualists will die, and those who die will all be He Jingtong's relatives and friends.
Second, the last alien spirit in the world will definitely be He Jingtong.
How do you stop that future from coming?
The answer is that the alien He Jingtong must be killed.
This is the only choice, and it is the absolute choice.
But how to kill him?
I think some people will be curious about the answer to this question, but when I use my logic to deduce the answer to this question, the first thing that comes to my mind is that He Jingtong was already thinking about it when he refused to see the future coming...
How to murder another self.
When he could see multiple destiny lines, he had already suffered an irreversible spiritualization experiment.
Therefore, the biggest problem arises.
Is the murder that my uncle mentioned really the psychic murdering the alien spirit He Jingtong?
At least from my perspective, that was actually him murdering himself—
It's cruel, but it's the truth.
His companions and teachers don't understand, did he become a spirit after encountering a bad experiment?
No one understands it better than them.
Let's put it bluntly, let's talk about conspiracy. Which of the artificial spirits created by Fu Zexun can't be controlled?
Even though it was Fu Zexun who controlled the artificial spirits at the time, is it really impossible for this authority to be transferred?
As the most powerful spirit, its value can be imagined.
Returning to the other set of logic before the reversion, a contract not to kill is equivalent to a contract not to "directly" kill people, so isn't indirect killing enough?
This shows that there must be loopholes in the contract, and if the alien spirit He Jingtong wants to kill the person who controls him, it is definitely not impossible to achieve.
And there is precedent for this.
Is it the first or second time that the alien Su Qing wants to kill the alien Fu Zexun? Although the alien Su Qing did not succeed in the end, it is hard to predict the outcome if the same situation happens to the alien He Jingtong.
And if this authority to control supernatural beings is really transferred to a certain person, then the future where there is only one supernatural being left in the world is basically equivalent to a high-speed rail direct route.
We cannot allow the alien spirit He Jingtong to be controlled by humans, we cannot allow the alien spirit He Jingtong to be pitied by his companions, and we cannot allow the alien spirit He Jingtong to survive...
This is a young man named He Jingtong, who had prepared to kill himself long ago. 】
【3: I’m crazy. 】
[4: Damn, I'm crazy too! I just finished reading episode 17 and was still confused as to why my uncle kept insisting on mentioning the word murder. Now I'm completely stupefied!]
[5: Only when you firmly believe that the world is the real world, can you peek into some of the cruel and inhumane details from the perspective of the masses in another world.]
[6: No matter how atmospheric the fifth floor's words are, it can't change the fact that this is a knife, fuck it!]
[7: If that's the case, then the ghost-seeing glasses that Su Xu made are indeed a double-edged sword. But why didn't He Jingtong stop this double-edged sword from being released? ]
【8: From a factual point of view, He Jingtong may not have known that the glasses were a double-edged sword at the time. Even if He Jingtong really knew that the glasses were a double-edged sword at that time, he would not have been able to stop it.
You also said that it is a double-edged sword, so the greatest benefit of this pair of glasses is to let ordinary people understand the dangers of supernatural beings, so that they can subjectively control their emotions and not go to extremes or do evil.
The old thief is very good at paying attention to details, and you can dig out a lot of Easter eggs if you go there.
For example, when Liu Shuyu and two teammates were discussing the details in the office, a document on the desk showed that "while the supernatural is known to the public, the city's man-made crime rate this month has dropped by 58% compared to last month."
Below this document, there are details, such as car accidents, fights, quarrels, workplace bullying, campus bullying, and so on. 】
[9: Upstairs is truly like reading comics with a magnifying glass.]
【10: Then was then, now is now. The contract of the contractor is destined to not be applicable to everyone.
"Alien" is based on the basic background of our society. For example, the country where He Jingtong lives also has a population of over one billion.
Someone once calculated that if 1.3 billion people sent you red envelopes, and you received one every second, it would take 42 and a half years.
Of course, you can also say that we can directly use group constraints, but I think this is also impossible to achieve.
If this could really be realized, then there would be no way that Third Uncle would become one of the subjects of the Peach Blossom Spring experiment.
Many spiritual masters' abilities, though bizarre, seem to be very useful. For example, teacher Xingqing Xiangli's backtracking is indeed powerful. This power is simply a cheat when applied to an individual, but once it is applied to a group, it is really useless.
To paraphrase the original poster, some people will think that I am talking nonsense. But what I really want to say is that there is only one alien spirit He Jingtong and only one alien spirit Qi Yuan in this world.
Therefore, the double-edged sword effect of the psychic vision glasses is destined to be a short-term conclusion.
At first, some humans may think that ghosts are just relatives in another state. But when those relatives they thought were in another state suddenly raise knives against them, humans' selfishness will surely make them realize that the ghosts must die.
Uncle San's ability cannot be applied to the group, and there is only one alien spirit, He Jingtong, in the world. This conclusion can even be described as survivor bias.
They have no group effect at all.
So I think that the picture that the old thief gave at the end, in which the alien He Jingtong's eyes did not have the shadow of his uncle at all, actually also meant that the alien He Jingtong did not care about He Wanchen's thoughts at all. 】
[11: Continuing from the tenth floor, I am not from the tenth floor. I followed the tenth floor’s conclusion and suddenly came to another conclusion.
I am sure that the statement given by the original poster that He Jingtong was plotting to kill himself is true. Anyone who has watched "The Otherworldly" will definitely not think that this is nonsense.
By the same token, the theories of survivor bias and single-individual uniqueness on the tenth floor coincide with what the original poster said.
Spiritual masters hope that the spirits will die together with them. Even if ordinary people do not hope so at first, they will still hope so in the end.
As for the villain He Yuchen and the mysterious man behind him, isn't their biggest advantage precisely that there must be a stage in life when ordinary people don't want to die with the alien spirit He Jing?
It’s really scary when you think about it!
If, the original poster could also give an if.
If He Jingtong had predicted the present before he became a spirit, how could he make He Jingtong, the spirit who did not die in the academy, successfully die when he was already cooperating with He Yuchen?】
[12: This question, which has a premise, really gives me goosebumps.]
【13: Me too! 】
[14: Does the alien He Jingtong have a self-destruct device installed on him, similar to a contract insurance?]
【15: Go back to the 14th floor. If that happens, it will duplicate the effect of the contract and will be meaningless.】
【16: I can’t imagine this… Is there anyone who can give me some advice?】
【17: I’m not a big shot, I’ll just briefly share my thoughts. Do you remember that in chapter 17, it was emphasized that for the spirits to read the memories of the original body is indeed like watching a movie. Although it’s impossible to empathize with them, after watching it many times, you will also become curious...
What is curiosity? In love, curiosity is the beginning of a relationship. In life, curiosity is the beginning of growth. This emotion will definitely prompt the alien He Jingtong to want to experience the emotion that He Jingtong once had.
but……
Sorry, there is a follow-up to this, but I can’t quite bring myself to say it. 】
【18: Let me tell you.
"but
The following means that since He Jingtong had already prepared to murder another self, how could He Jingtong possibly let that curiosity get positive feedback.
Whether it's the relationship between teacher and student, the relationship between teammates, or even the relationship between family members, the alien spirit He Jingtong can't get what he wants.
The original body's teachers and teammates all want to kill him, and although the uncle can still firmly argue at this moment, the problem is that as long as the uncle is still human, he will compromise sooner or later.
Although we don't know the reason for the compromise for now, in the end, my uncle will still stand on the opposite side of the alien spirit He Jing.
In other words, what the alien spirit He Jingtong wants is destined to never be obtained. 】
[19: He will die, killed by another version of himself.]
[20: He also cannot survive, no matter if it is due to his own murder in the past or the loneliness and despair in the future where he is destined to be the only alien spirit left.]
【21: Isn’t the most painful thing that He Jingtong had already prepared to commit suicide a long time ago?
He should know what kind of existence the alien He Jingtong is. After all, the alien He Jingtong is another him.
That was not a sinful product of extreme emotions; it was simply another him who had all his memories but no emotions.
He wanted to kill himself, how cruel...
How beautiful this is. 】
[22: I know everyone is in a bad mood right now, but I still want to ask, if the spirit He Jingtong possessed all of He Jingtong's memories, would he understand that He Jingtong wanted to murder him?]
【23: Not at first, because there are many things that can only be experienced if you have emotions.
But in the end, it will definitely happen.
Whether spirits have emotions is a question that perhaps no one has ever thought about, but as long as the question arises, it means the answer has also appeared.
The alien Su Qing has never stopped wanting to kill the alien Fu Zexun, and his hatred for the latter has always existed. So in my opinion, aliens must also have emotions.
But that is destined to be in the future...】
【24: My heart aches.】
【25: When I looked at the three words "Piao Ling Pian" again, I suddenly understood.】
[26: "I have been away from home for a long time. Over the past ten years, I have been deeply indebted to my teacher and friend. This sentence in the original work means that Zhongju worked hard for ten years, but his wife still died. He wanted to keep his promise and save her, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do and he could only let her down.
If the Piaoling article here really quoted this passage, then if we reverse it, it would become that all efforts and calculations will not be in vain, that bad future will definitely not come, and the alien spirit He Jingtong will definitely die.
Positioning Piao Ling from this perspective means that this self-murder will ultimately end in success.
But the question is, what is the difference between success and failure?
He Jingtong became the alien He Jingtong, and the alien He Jingtong was plotted against by He Jingtong and died...
In the world of "Alien", is there really a way for He Jingtong to survive?
Also: From a pure reader's perspective, I have to say this: you better come back to your senses, old thief, or I will hang myself at your doorstep! 】!
