1219, protect what, girl, what do you mean......
When it comes to so-called 'mysterious organizations', words such as robbery and theft that are 'minor' are not qualified, at least they have to be cases of homicide, DU trafficking and human trafficking. Further, it is not surprising that terrorist attacks, plots to subvert a country, or even the destruction of the world seem to involve a mysterious organization.
But in fact, as far as Levi knows, not to mention how many mysterious organizations there are in this world compared to ordinary people's perceptions, even the hidden gangs that have few circulates among those who are supernatural, in fact, most of them are not as unthinkable as those who are used to watching movies and novels.
The so-called mysterious organizations that ordinary people have no way of knowing are the most common in this world, and they are nothing more than 'associations' between various types of supernatural people. The names of these associations sound quite professional, and even reveal a hint of inquiry, and it is easy to mistake them for solemn places where a group of experts gather to study some special power or ability.
However, when these associations were first established, most of them were just the same as the "fraternities" that ordinary people often hear about. These associations exist to give people of the same type of abilities a simple base to seek help from each other, to hold each other together for security, and to communicate with each other.
Yes, don't think that being a paranormal in this world will allow you to do whatever you want like in the novel. Not to mention how terrible the total number of supernatural people in this world is, there are always stronger among the strong, and it is impossible to imagine that the whole world is a story with superpowers. Even if they are all superpowers, there is a gap between the strength of the ability and the strength of the ability that is no more exaggerated than the unfairness of wealth and power between ordinary people.
Even the most powerful ones have people of similar strength to check each other. However, under the premise of non-interference and non-aggression with each other, these powerful people can indeed do whatever they want to a certain extent within their own 'sphere of influence', just like those rich and powerful people in the world of ordinary people, as well as politicians who hold various powers.
In this kind of world where the power is more wanton than the world of ordinary people, those who are classified as supernatural just because they have a little special power, and are no longer treated by the strong in the way of 'ordinary people', may be worse than the bottom of the ordinary human world.
After all, in a normal developed country, as long as you don't live in peace and quiet, even if you don't receive higher education, you don't have the opportunity for those superior people to pursue success. Even if you don't work hard at all, you can rely on social welfare relief to live a life of starvation and freezing without worrying about food and clothing.
However, it is difficult for those weak people to enjoy the humanitarian protection of the real world in the 'world below the water', or the 'inner world'.
The magician killed an ordinary person, and if the news leaked, there would be a long way· People like T. Takahata who "maintain world peace" will investigate and deal with it. Once a mage commits a crime in the real world, the lowest trigger is also to be locked up in a dungeon like Mafanliang School Park to eat in prison. In the worst cases, he would be sent back to the wizarding world to face trial, or even if he didn't need to be tried at all, Longdao and people like him would be caught and executed on the spot.
However, if the magician killed not an ordinary person without any special abilities, but a person who had also learned a little magic and entered the world of magic. Then this kind of thing will often not be reported to the table of people like Longdao at all, at most, when the situation is already very serious and may affect the world of ordinary people, it will be sorted out and handed over to them to decide.
The world of magicians, the world of other supernatural beings, also largely follows similar 'laws' as the world of magicians. This is why Levi resolutely disagrees that those who are supernatural are 'human beings' who are higher than ordinary people. Given that they have continued the rather naked law of the jungle for thousands of years, it is difficult to say that their social ecology can be compared to the rigorous civilization of the real world.
No matter how much philosophers try to expose the hidden truths of so-called modern society. The fact is that ordinary people who lack ability can more easily find their own living space in a developed modern society. As long as the needs are not high and you control your desires, then you can get a life that you can satisfy if you work a little hard but have no serious defects.
If you take another 10,000 steps back, the citizens of those less developed countries can at least enjoy personal safety in a relative sense, and are far from facing the threat of life if you are not careful.
In any case, all other needs are not as good as their only life for those who have never had it. What kind of freedom to talk about even the safety of life cannot be guaranteed, this is what Levy sees as a beautiful thing that only the so-called scholars who can't see the condition of ordinary people can say from their own point of view.
People in the real world have the state, the law, to protect their own personal safety. The people of the world of the Aliens did not possess these things in the past, especially the 'Sanren' who were not affiliated with large forces such as religion, and they were more desperately in need of an organization that could give them a minimum sense of security. As a result, so many so-called hidden organizations that may not be able to be said are gradually born.
In fact, the Nemesis Association, to which Hiiragi Asuka belongs, also has a similar meaning to exist in Levi's view.
Of course, the original people gathered in that association were victims desperate for revenge on the otherworldly world and the beasts. But these former victims come together not only for revenge, but also for seeking like-minded people to warm each other in a world that everyone 'doesn't understand'.
When people encounter unspeakable misfortune, it is natural that they will have such needs. Just like those who suffer from diseases that are difficult to talk about, they will naturally contact each other to find each other, and slowly form small groups on the Internet and in reality.
"For normal situations, we have tools that can block the detection of alien beasts. However, if the situation is particularly serious, those small props may not be effective, and they can only be protected by associations. ”
Protecting rather than 'solving' is indeed how Levi's envisioned association of Hiiragi Asuka's dealing with those suspected of causing otherworldly problems.
