It is a luxury to keep human beings sane all the time.

This is a truth, but also a nonsense, or a nonsense that borders on the truth.

What is the difference between the above meanings?

Of course, the most universally recognized truths are to some extent equivalent to common sense that everyone knows, such as the difference between men and women, such as the death of a person, such as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west...... These are all truths, but they are also all nonsense, because everyone understands them, and there is generally no need to say them.

Is it a luxury to keep humans sane all the time? Definitely, yes.

As long as you are an emotional person or an emotional person, you will not dare to say that you can always or forever keep your sanity.

But when you think about it seriously, it's a bit more subtle.

What is "sanity"?

Basically, reason is reason and wisdom, the ability to discern things and make wise judgments, but the meaning varies depending on each person.

And the most authoritative judgment of whether a person is rational or not is not the final say of another person, nor of a group of people or all of them, but depends on the facts, more precisely, the reality, including the future.

That's the problem.

In many cases, it is impossible to predict the future with 100% accuracy, so it is impossible to judge with absolute accuracy whether a person is rational or not, or whether a decision is made in the current situation.

All authoritative judgments about sanity are made by looking back at the past in the present!

People in the present can lament how stupid and irrational people in the past were, but no matter how much they learn from it, there is no way to be 100% sure whether people in the present are rational or not, because no one can predict the future with 100% accuracy.

It is true that human beings cannot always be sane, but depending on the time, occasion, and situation when they say it, it will become pure nonsense or even.

All in all, reason is precious, but it is often not easy to judge whether it is rational or not, as in the case of the spiritual court today.

Sacrifice thousands of people to lock down the current location of the cherry blossom realm...... Sane?

Just looking at the number of people sacrificed, it can be said that it is not rational, but considering that greater damage can be avoided, it is really "rational".

Yumeng hates such "sanity", but he can't resist it.

Because she also had to admit that this decision was "correct".

Sacrificing a small part to keep the majority, this is how the human order works, and there is nothing wrong with the decision of the Spirit Court.

If you are in a bad mood about this, it is a personal problem, so you can only close your emotions and do what you have to do.

However......

"Is this true?" asked Harumi solemnly after telling the information he had received from Kamiya.

Yumu was hard to answer.

There is only silence.

The silence at this time is acquiescence.

Harusa apparently understood, and was silent for a moment.

"Is there really no other way?" he asked again, "the way to not die." ”

Yes.

At all costs, it is possible to sacrifice no one, but no.

Some of the costs are heavier than the loss of thousands of lives, because that could mean tens of thousands or more lives in the future!

Yumeng didn't want to answer, but in the face of his brother's eyes, he still spoke.

"Yes, but it is not adopted. ”

When she speaks, she tries not to allow herself to show any emotion as much as possible.

"Because it will lead to greater losses, won't it?" said Haruji's eyes flashed.

"Yes. Yumu replied, and at the same time a subtle feeling arose in his heart.

She didn't know where this subtle feeling came from, it was like déjà vu, or something else.

"Let me guess what this 'bigger loss' is. Harusa looked at her, "It's something that the Spirit Court judges can't be lost at this stage, such as a Zhenguo artifact, right?"

Yumeng's eyes widened suddenly.

"Kamiya told you?" she asked.

"He didn't. Harusa said calmly, "I have other intelligence channels, plus a little intuition, I guessed it." ”

Is it ......

A certain national idol appeared in Yumeng's mind.

"The Spirit Court sealed the Eye of the Cherry Blossom Realm, relying on this artifact, right? It's cheaper to sacrifice thousands of lives than to use the artifact too much and cause it to be damaged or unusable for a long time, isn't it?"

Although it is a question sentence, it is completely true.

Weimeng nodded: "That's it." ”

"What exactly is this Zhenguo artifact?" asked Harusa.

"It's an eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade. Wei Meng replied simply.

The three major Zhenguo artifacts of Sakurajima are things that ordinary people know, namely the Tiancong Cloud Sword, the Eight Mirrors and the Eight Feet Qiong Hook Jade, and the appearance rate of various works is needless to say.

In the psionic realm, they are the top-level spiritual weapons, and they are currently jointly kept by the Seven Families, which is also one of the manifestations of the top status of the Seven Families. It is no exaggeration to say that these three Zhenguo artifacts are the crown of Sakurajima's psionic realm!

Whoever controls the three artifacts will be able to take over the world...... Not really.

But if anyone really has the ability to get all the three artifacts jointly managed by the seven families, then his or her strength should also reach the first level of Sakurajima.

A Zhenguo artifact, thousands of ordinary lives, which side is more important, this question may be felt by many spiritual people who don't need to think about it at all.

The decision of the Spiritual Court was "correct".

At least on the surface.

"If you can save the eight-foot Qiongyu by giving up thousands of lives, it may be said that it is worth it. Harusa continued, his tone still calm, "But is that really going to be the case?"

Yumu blinked.

"What do you mean?"

"Sure there will be no hindrance to this plan of the Spirit Court, will the Emissary Organization do nothing?"

"We're ready. ”

"Are you sure you're ready to deal with it?"

"Nothing is sure of everything. ”

"I know, I just want to know if the envoy does something, if the spirit court has the confidence to stop it, and if there is any guarantee to prevent the situation from getting too bad. Harusa stared at Yume's face.

Wei Meng gave birth to a subtle feeling again, and couldn't help but look away.

"You don't need to worry about that. ”

"I don't want to be nosy, but I have a bad premonition. Harusa's tone became a little lower.

"Kamiya told me this information, why is it portenting something, or is it trying to lure me into something?"

"I feel like he's working on something, and I could be part of it, or maybe it's just a needless distraction. ”

"In any case, the hunch is quite bad. ”

"Sister Weimeng, are you sure that there is nothing left out in the preparation of the Spirit Court, such as something that I didn't think of for a while, or someone who didn't think of for a while......

Listening to the other party's words, Weimeng quickly re-examined the plan of the Spirit Court, the relevant information, things, and personnel......

The plan cannot be said to be perfect, but everything that can be done should be done well.

Unless......

A young man with short orange-red hair, a pale face, indifferent red eyes, and heavy dark circles came to mind.

If it's him...... If he is liberated......

Thinking of this possibility, Yumu felt uneasy.

It's less likely, but ...... Kamiya ...... Maybe......

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Harusa quietly looked at Yume's face, a deep glint flashing in his eyes.
