Chapter 646: The Main Tone

This is a war whose end has long been predestined.

Although the parasitic beasts are strong, they are not invincible, their bodies are still human bodies, and when they die, they will also die, and they will not be able to reproduce.

In the face of an overwhelming numerical superiority of humans, even if the parasitic beast can kill hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands, but in the face of a heavily armed army that has learned how to distinguish between parasitic beasts, the defeat of the parasitic beast is a matter of time.

In the battle with Goto, Xiao You and Shinichi ambushed Goto, but they miscalculated, Goto was too powerful, and they failed to sneak attack.

In this sneak attack plan, Koyou separated from Shinichi's body to interfere with Goto's induction. In this way, you can't fight for a long time, otherwise Xiao You will also die because he has been out of body for too long.

After the sneak attack failed, Koyou and Goto were at a stalemate.

Shinichi rushed over in order to save Xiaoyou, but Xiaoyou asked Shinichi not to come over and let Shinichi escape. Only by dragging Goto can Shinichi have enough time to escape.

As a staunch egoist, the parasite has always had the primary goal of ensuring its own survival, and will not hesitate to attack anything that hinders its survival, even if it is its own kind. At this critical moment, Xiaoyou actually chose to sacrifice himself to protect the new one.

If it was just when he was parasitic, Xiao You would not have made such a choice at all, and even said that he didn't understand such a choice at all, and when Tian Gong didn't run away in order to protect his child, his surprise and shock at this behavior still echoed in his ears.

In its judgment, it will die regardless of whether Shinichi comes over or not. For a parasitic beast. If you are destined to die. It doesn't matter if the new one comes over and fights back desperately, maybe he can still win a glimmer of life.

However, he chose to die by himself, leaving his life to Shinichi.

It no longer thinks only for itself, it learns to think for others.

"Goodbye, Shinichi, we're here forever, Shinichi. Luckily, the first one I met was you. Thankfully, it didn't take away your brains, so we could be friends and share all kinds of happiness......"

"The consciousness is getting farther and farther away, so sleepy, and the loneliness is getting stronger and stronger, is this death?"

Xiao You's increasingly weak voice is sad.

In this war between humans and parasites, about survival.

Tamiya was born, who was a parasitic beast, but received the greatest maternal love in human nature.

There is also the appearance of being human. But it has already exterminated human nature, and the perverted murderer Urakami is more like a parasitic beast than a parasitic beast.

Born though a parasitic beast. But it is on the small right side of the human standpoint.

The mayor who was a human but stood in the shoes of a parasitic beast was also born.

At the same time, a new one hovering between humans and parasitic beasts, neither humans nor parasitic beasts, was born.

The difference between humans and parasitic beasts is first reflected in the choice of self-interest and altruism, parasitic on the small right right of the new one, the instinct is absolute rationality and the individual survival as the criterion of judgment, the irrational sacrifice behavior that human beings sometimes make, and gradually understand human nature in the time of living with the new one.

"It scared me to death, I thought Xiao You was completely dead. ”

Xiao You and Shinichi's body are completely fused, and it is 70% of it that splits out, and the unconscious part of ZĂ i's body remains, and he seems to talk to it in his sleep, feeling that Xiao You is not dead.

finally soothed the delicate hearts of fans.

Psychologist Maslow proposed the hierarchy of human needs, which are: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs. This theory can be said to be an explanation, but it can also be seen as a result, a conclusion reached after a large-scale survey of people.

"It is true that after thousands of years of evolution, human needs are not satisfied, and it is also true that when there are more needs, human beings will inevitably grab more from their surroundings. My take on this fact is that it has been saved and cannot be reversed, so accept it. ”

"I can accept the self-satisfied nature of human beings. However, human beings seem to prefer to cover up some cruel truths with some beautiful arguments, such as that it is moral to protect the environment, and that it is justice to remove the factors that are not good for oneself (whether living things or others). I don't like that. I think it's unreasonable and hypocritical to simply satisfy a desire to make oneself better, but to pretend to be superior. ”

However, denial or whitewashing is also a kind of human psychological defense mechanism, which has been developed for a long time, and people are really complicated. I know it, but I still don't like it. ”

"For me at the moment, I prefer to understand my actions, act on them, and then take responsibility for them. For people around me who have the same idea or two-dimensional characters, I will identify more. ”

In "Parasitic Beast", I will unconsciously like Xiaoyou more, its cognition of itself and its surroundings and the whole world is very good, and it will continue to learn, to update its knowledge base and deepen its understanding of the world; For example, the schoolgirl who poured sulfuric acid on the parasitic beast, such as the dead second female Kana. However, it may also be because he knows the whole picture of the matter, and the people in the play don't know much information. ”

I started to like Xiaoyou because of its novelty - Hu Lai's right hand, as well as its fun and cuteness.

However, as the story deepens, as a parasitic beast in his life with Shinichi, he gradually understands human beings, understands human nature, and has human nature, making people rethink about biology, survival, human beings, nature, etc.

"The most touching part of the story is that Xiao You finally knew that he was invincible, but he wanted to run fast while desperately blocking the attacks of the same kind. ”

"This cold-blooded animal, who insists that his own survival is the first element and regards killing for this purpose as a matter of course, eventually has feelings like human beings, and understands the preciousness of emotions and the meaning of sacrifice. In the thinking of the little right. It's inconceivable to think that human beings would sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, which violates the laws of existence. It was even seen at one time as an instinct for the continuation of the race. It's like ants and bee colonies protecting their nests. ”

But in the end, it made this decision because of this unusual friendship, and in the eyes of the master porter, this must be the preciousness of human beings. Unfortunately, the feelings between people are becoming less and less indifferent, and the result of free and open thinking and the development of social pluralism has also made it more and more difficult to communicate with people, and because of this, people are now more willing to pay for all kinds of moving consumption. ”

"Even so, it must be admitted. Although this powerful emotional force is difficult to become a powerful tool to save mankind due to the inability to organize effectively, it at least gives a glimmer of hope to people as individuals, because it allows people to make the possibility of self-sacrifice out of good emotions rather than survival interests, and further understand moderation, so as to reflect on themselves as an individual unit, and implement them into actions that start from the self and start from small things, so as to achieve the sublimation and leap of their own spiritual level. ”

"It would be nice if we could influence each other and gradually produce a difficult reversal of the direction of the whole in the direction of seeking common ground while reserving differences, but considering that the pace of humanity on this path of real meaning is always slow, almost hopeless. So I don't think it's going to be the hope of humanity. In fact, the progress of human beings has always been healed, scars and pains, and they just kept singing a high-profile tightrope walk. ”

"Shinichi's last difficult slash. It seems to me that it is more like slashing at humans themselves, because Goto is no longer a species whose goal is to survive, but has become a real 'monster' that attacks and hunts humans for their own amusement, and this is how similar it is to humans. ”

"Also a parasitic beast, Koyo has gained the good part of the human spirit, while Goto has unknowingly acquired the evil of human nature. It invisibly enhances the depth of the work, and will also bring a stronger shock to the audience. Perhaps with the rapid renewal and development of human material civilization, accumulation and thinking are destined to be forced to a dead end, but I still sincerely feel that human beings have such a master of thought, what a beautiful thing. ”

Philosophers always persuade people to reflect on themselves from time to time, but how many people can resist the torture or even denial of themselves in the process of "reflection"?

Neither Xiaoyou nor Shinichi are philosophers, they only experience real feelings in their daily lives and later in contact with other parasitic beasts, borrowing the classic concept of Marxism, which is "alienation".

Aside from the cumbersome explanations, the real feeling of "alienation" is: "I always feel that something is wrong?"

It was, or should have been, but it turned out to be unrecognizable.

Xiao You is like this, Shinichi is like this, humans are like this, and parasitic beasts are like this.

In the early part of the story, a terrifying world unfolds: parasitic beasts sneak into human bodies, waiting in the shadows for food - humans, who only become food for their mouths without knowing the truth.

But in the middle of the game, the situation changed, and the humans, who realized that the parasitic beasts were alive, began to rebel in a big way, and the parasitic beasts at this time hid in the crowd, one by one to be examined, and when one was found, they were shot.

The strong become weak, and the weak become strong, and in the mutual transformation of this position, both parasitic beasts and humans begin to have to think about the meaning of this situation.

The overall opposite, but there are also some symbiotic companions, and a rare parasitic beast like Tamiya, because it gives birth to human life, also begins to think about the meaning of its own existence, after all, the parasitic beast is to devour humans, not to give birth to humans.

Parasitic beasts like Goto take the ultimate approach, merging with each other to form a powerful individual, but completely collapsed under the attack of garbage toxins created by humans. One can't help but think of what Tamiya said at the time: "We are very vulnerable." ”

Strength and vulnerability, rationality and animality, symbiosis and devouring, conflict and reconciliation all form the tone of this work. (To be continued......)
