Chapter 1273: Seven Deadly Sins [Arrogance]
The poet nodded and said, "I think so too, the seven deadly sins that are generally talked about are all derived from Dante's "Divine Comedy", since the virtual world borrows from various art forms of the entire human race, then this purgatory is likely to be constructed according to Dante's "Divine Comedy".

As he spoke, the poet seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Dante, a super-first-class American master, and said with a smile: "I didn't mean you!" I mean Dante, the famous poet in Italian history. ”
"I know!" Dante nodded and took over the topic of the poet, "I like Dante's poetry so much that I chose his name. What you just said actually knows that according to the Divine Comedy: Purgatory, the seven deadly sins are arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and **. However, the form of atonement for 'arrogance' in the Divine Comedy is that the soul carries a heavy boulder on its back, bends over, and loops along the mountain path of Purgatory Mountain. We're different here, there are no trails in the city, and the spirits don't carry any boulders. ”
The poet pondered for a moment and said, "The way of atonement for sins in the Divine Comedy corresponds to sin. Take arrogance as an example, arrogant people are proud and conceited, arrogant, with their heads held high, and no one in their eyes, so the punishment is to make them carry boulders on their backs, bend over, and walk in a low voice. Since our city is used to atone for the sin of arrogance, it is very likely that the atonement is also carried out according to this idea, and we may be able to solve the mystery by observing these souls and acting accordingly. ”
After listening to the analysis of the poet and Dante, everyone immediately felt reasonable. They returned to the street outside, and stood in the middle of the street, observing the spirits who came and went again, and pondered the meaning of their actions.
The souls still walked quietly, one by one through their flesh and blood, and gradually faded away, like puppets, never resting, never getting tired.
"Do you feel that we are standing here, as if we are ...... How so? It seems to be very discordant. At this time, Tiandao suddenly touched his chin and said.
"Of course there is disharmony, we are flesh and blood, we are living people, they are souls, we are dead people, we stand with them, can we be harmonious?" Thor shook his head and smiled, and reached out to pat the ass of a woman who was wearing with him, and the palm of his hand penetrated through the ass without the slightest touch.
"I don't mean that!" Tiandao shook his head, but it seemed that he couldn't clearly describe the feeling in his heart, so he had to mutter: "I mean something else, that is, where the feeling is wrong, disharmony, if we walk in a normal street, it shouldn't be like this, but I can't say where it is." ”
"I feel that way too!" Suddenly, Huang Yi also nodded, took a step, walked back to the door of the previous church, and said, "You all come here, stand here, and carefully observe these people on the street." ”
Hearing his words, the crowd left the street and returned to the door of the church, observing the spirits that came and went in the street outside.
After observing for a while, Huang Yi stared at the souls on the street with a faint gaze, and said, "Do you feel that as soon as we leave this street, these souls walk on the street by themselves, and suddenly it becomes much more harmonious?" ”
"Yes, I feel that way too!" The little bad immediately nodded his little head, and then frowned slightly, as if he was thinking of a word to describe it, "It's like, it's like, how to say it?" It's like ......"
"Orderly!" Suddenly, the dragon thorn, who had always been silent, popped out of his mouth with a word!
As soon as he heard this word, Xiao Bad's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately grabbed the arm of the dragon thorn affectionately, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" That's how it feels! It's orderly! ”
While observing the souls coming and going on the street, everyone put on the "orderly" description of dragon thorns, and suddenly felt very appropriate.
Those souls on the street, walking on the street one by one, are orderly and look very harmonious.
At this time, the pharaoh also nodded with deep feeling, strode to the middle of the street, inserted himself into the souls of people coming and going, and said: "If we go out into the street and mingle with these spirits, it will be like a calm river, and suddenly a few boulders are dropped, and the originally calm and gentle river is blocked, breaking the peaceful order. ”
"So, what does this have to do with arrogance?" The Pope asked thoughtfully.
The little bad guy walked back to the street, stared at the souls who kept coming by, and said, "I only know that these souls have very arrogant expressions, and they all walk swaggeringly, and they don't look at us properly, and they don't think we don't exist!" In the end, the little bad wrinkled his little nose, stretched out his little hand mischievously, and slapped a soul walking towards him!
The little hand pierced directly through the soul's head, but the soul still swaggered forward, without looking at the little bad guy, and directly penetrated her body.
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in Huang Yi's mind, staring blankly at the souls who passed by with the little bad, and muttered the words she had just said, and her eyes slowly lost focus-
"Treat us as if we don't exist...... Treat us as if we don't exist......"
"What's wrong? Killing God, did you find anything? As if sensing Huang Yi's changes, the poet suddenly turned his head and asked expectantly.
Countless viewers around the world who were watching the live broadcast also looked at Huang Yi from the poet's perspective, looking at his pensive expression, and looking at his eyes that lost focus.
The rest of the super-first-class masters, including the naughty little bad guys on the street, also stopped and turned their heads to look at Huang Yi!
They held their breath and did not make a sound, trying not to disturb his musings!
The whole world was quiet, all waiting for Huang Yi's thoughts!
The result of his thinking will be the key to the whole world!
After a while, Huang Yi's eyes finally lit up again, and the focus was gathered again, as if the two dead planets were suddenly rejuvenated!
He stared at the little bad, shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not that they treat us as non-existent, but we treat them as non-existent!" ”
"Why do you say that?" The little bad asked with wide eyes curious.
Huang Yi immediately walked to the middle of the street, stretched out his hand to touch the people who were coming one by one, and said: "Since we entered this city, we have always habitually ignored these souls, not to say that we have ignored their existence, but to ignore their dignity, and it can even be said that we have not regarded these souls as human beings at all!" In our eyes, only flesh and blood like us are human beings, and they are just souls that have been dead for an unknown amount of time, no different from rats, bugs, and dogs. ”
When everyone thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, but from the bottom of their hearts, they actually did not treat these souls as normal people. These souls are nothing more than background elements in a virtual scene, and their flesh and blood are the real people.
"Even if that's the case, what does it matter?" Dante asked, clasping his hands over his chest and leaning against the church door.
"That's the sin of arrogance!" Huang Yi stared at a soul walking over in front of him, and said eloquently: "Since psychologically, we don't regard these souls as people like us, so our actions will inevitably be arrogant. The most obvious thing is that when we walk down the street, we never avoid these souls, and we pass through them as if they don't exist! ”
Speaking of which, the oncoming soul happened to pass by him!
Huang Yi glanced back at the soul that penetrated him, and said, "And this is also the reason why we feel discordant when we walk on the street, because if we walk on a normal street and see pedestrians walking on the opposite side, we will definitely avoid each other and will not treat them as if they don't exist!" ”
Everyone was stunned, looked at the souls that passed by Huang Yi one by one, and began to think about Huang Yi's words just now.
At this time, Huang Yi took a step and walked back to the door of the church.
The little bad and the Pharaoh also came back from the streets, giving up the streets completely to the spirits, and the streets became orderly again.
Huang Yi stared at the orderly souls on the street and continued: "After we left this street, the reason why this street looked harmonious and orderly was because they would not penetrate each other! It's like being on a real street! ”
Everyone looked at the spirits who came and went on the street, and sure enough, they noticed this.
Although the souls looked up, walked in a swaggering posture, and looked like no one in their eyes, they would not penetrate each other, and each soul would walk in an orderly manner and would not interfere with the other souls.
This was originally a very normal scene, but they didn't care about it before, and it wasn't until they were broken by Huang Yi that they finally paid attention to it!
Huang Yi laughed at himself: "We always feel that the expressions of these souls are arrogant and arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes, but in fact, it is us who really have no one in their eyes." Their arrogance is nothing but expressions, but ours is behavior! ”
Huang Yi's words, like a hammer, hit everyone's hearts heavily!
Oh, yes! Ever since they entered the city, they have been treating these spirits with arrogance, never avoiding them when they walk through the streets, treating them as air!
They always feel that their behavior is normal, and the behavior of these souls is abnormal!
They don't realize that it's not the souls who are really arrogant, it's themselves!
"So what should we do?" At this time, the little bad asked subconsciously.
"It's easy!" Huang Yi smiled, "Treat these souls as normal people, when we walk on the street, whenever we encounter oncoming souls, we must avoid them, don't pass by them, just like walking on a normal street." That way, we should be able to get out of the city! ”
