I'm willing to pick up these sharp pieces until they are bloody,

If/that'll/make/it/right.

……

The song is in a loop of non-stop singles.

Bu may and Yao Yayao, after silently listening to the above song in its entirety. The step may have opened up slowly:

"Senior brother, what do you think is the most terrifying extreme situation for human beings, the highest creatures on this earth?"

Yao Yayao still continues to reminisce about all the lyrics of this song. As Bu may have said, this is a song about personal beliefs. Therefore, after Yao Yayao replaced the "YOU" in the lyrics with the word "faith", he could vaguely guess how to answer at this time.

"I don't know. However, the most miserable situation of a person is certainly not because he is poor and has no money on him. Yao Yayao thought about it and didn't answer directly.

Bu may smile faintly and say: "The most terrible thing for a person is that he has lost his pursuit of faith. If there is no faith in the heart, then a person's life is not much different from the walking dead. ”

"The biggest general problem with our college students is that they have been lacking a strong inner faith. They had only one weak faith during their time in school, and that was the diploma paper. In this case, as the lyrics say, those unscrupulous game dealers who aim for krypton gold take the opportunity to leave fragrant morphine at the door of any college dormitory to lure them astray. ”

"And Noah's historical mission is to set things right and leave MD antidote at the door of every dormitory. So far, the results have been immediate. About two-thirds of the country's college students have jumped into our game and re-established their personal belief that knowledge is power. ”

It's not so easy to rekindle a fire about personal beliefs in such an environment. Noah still has a long and difficult road to go in the future. ”

Yao Yayao nodded again and again when he heard this. He has always liked to watch all kinds of news, and he is the kind of soy sauce party that "cares about family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, and everything". Many college students compare themselves with each other and spend money indiscriminately because they are caught in various online games that show off their wealth. Many people even fell into various "campus loan" usury traps, and then tragedies occurred frequently. There is not a lot of news like this, almost every year.

The actions and intentions of the senior brother president in front of him may not be called a big high-spirited festival, asking for the people's lives, but it can be said that he is absolutely well-intentioned. This made Yao Yayao's heart awe when he heard the words.

At the same time, Yao Yayao suddenly remembered another song. That song is Adele's "set/fire/to/the/rain". He also remembered one thing. That day, after he casually wrote the "Book Keeper's Oath", he said that it helped to light a torch in the rain. At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of his words, but at this time, he suddenly had an epiphany.

However, Bu may have suddenly sighed and said a little excitedly:

"Today's society is complex. You must not think that if a person is doing what he thinks is righteous, then he can raise his arms and shout, and the world will respond. Junior brother, if you think so, then you are very wrong. ”

Yao Yayao's eyes widened in surprise, and his mouth couldn't close.

"Copernicus was the first to proclaim the truth of heliocentrism, and then the price of his pursuit of justice was to be burned at the stake in public by the diehards." ”

"Recently, Tan Si of the Sanqing Dynasty is the same as the six gentlemen of Wuxu, who ended miserably and perished because he led the reform of the Restoration."

"Let's take an example today. Ma Yun, who has dug up the net, has made some small financial innovations, moved the cheese of the bank, and shaken the stable black yarn hats of all the governors. Then there is a grapevine that it is said that Ma Yun is not afraid of heaven and earth now, and is not afraid to meet with heads of state, but the people who are most afraid of meeting are the presidents of various banks, because they may beat him up in front of him. ”

"The old-fashioned diehards don't need any new era changes, they just want to keep their current vested interests forever, and they don't need the future to push the front waves."

Bu may have spoken a little humorously, Yao Yayao was listening carefully, and he couldn't help but have some urge to laugh when he heard the words. However, he held back.

Although the senior brother in front of him spoke in a relaxed tone, this topic was not easy at all.

"What Noah is doing, although it is very just, has also received enthusiastic support from many parents. However, because Noah touched other people's fragrant cheese, it is destined to become the common enemy of all game manufacturers, and then usher in countless hostile eyes. ”

"At this point, I have to pay attention to my personal access security for a long time. The so-called high and low, the high place is not cold. The higher a person stands and the farther he sees, the faster he may often die. There have been many precedents for this in history. ”

Step may say slowly. However, in his eyes, he was very resolute, and there was no intention of flinching at all.

Yao Yayao was silent, not knowing what to say.

"You've watched all the Game of Thrones episodes I asked you to watch, right? Among all the characters, which one do you like the most? Step may have asked suddenly.

"Snow." Yao Yayao only said two words. He replied quickly, almost without thinking.

"Why him?" Step may then ask. His expression was calm, and he didn't seem surprised by Yao Yayao's answer.

"Because he is the person who has the most overall concept and the most love in the whole series. He can let go of any love and hatred, just so that humanity can continue to survive. Only he knows best what the most terrible threat to his country and the people in the rear is. He wanted to defend the Great Wall of Ice and Snow in a desperate situation, and keep the enemy out of the country. Yao Yayao replied.

BUT EVEN HIS DIRECT SUBORDINATES DIDN'T UNDERSTAND HIS INNER SUFFERING, AND REGARDED HIM AS A TRAITOR. Without hesitation, they stabbed Snow in the chest seven or eight times, and then the snow was stained red with blood. He didn't blink an eye. Step may have said meaningfully.

Yao Yayao thought about it for a long time this time, and finally said slowly:

"I think I've got some of it. I know which things to say and what to say at the G12 summit in Hanzhou. Noah's company is that Snow, and he wants to successfully convey the crisis information, but he can't openly bring in too much hatred, otherwise he will definitely die. ”

"It's too low-key, and the warning beacon can't burn. If it's too high-profile, it will make countless enemies. Maybe the real enemy has not yet arrived, and maybe he will die at the hands of his own people. ”

Then, Yao Yayao raised his head, his eyes fearlessly meeting the possible gaze of the step. The eyes of the two of them are clearly a little mixed.

Yao Yayao has always been a scholar, and he is also the kind of scholar with strong logical deduction ability. At this time, he synthesized all the conversations before and after tonight, and he already roughly understood in his heart what the ultimate purpose of the induced questioning of the step might lie in the logic.

"It's good that you get it. Similar to the plot in the book, the demon that is thousands of times more terrifying than the atomic bomb, the horror king IC, will sooner or later come to attack our border Great Wall. Noah's historical mission is to issue a beacon fire alarm in time and call on people who understand to defend the Great Wall together. But the way needs to be tactful, and it must not be a stupid way to raise your arms and shout. Step may say.

“IC?” Yao Yayao was slightly stunned.

"INTER/IS/COMING." Step may smile indifferently.

Yao Yayao suddenly showed a slightly ashamed expression, embarrassed by his slow reaction.

"Noah's historical mission is not to specifically smash the jobs of those game manufacturers, but to deal with the future one, the IC horror king. The game makers are just mobs in the way, and Noah has to take them down. Otherwise, when the real IC King comes to attack the Great Wall, he will have no defensive forces available at all. If young people are addicted to all kinds of game worlds and do not seek to improve, they are no different from old and weak soldiers. Step may be meaningfully said.

"I understand. Now I know why the weapon system in "Magic University" is only the only weapon that uses books. This is a metaphor, only this thing can really defend the country. Yao Yayao said with a heavy heart.

"Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. This IC horror king may not be born in our lifetime. It is enough for us to leave a warning message for future generations in time. For the rest, leave it to fate! ”

"If Noah can grow slowly, then it will gradually solidify into a thousand-year-old firewall in the future. If it dies halfway, there's nothing it can do. The so-called plan is in people, and success is in heaven. ”

Step may say, barely showing a smile.

"Let's go, come with me to the third floor, I want you to see something interesting." As if to divert the topic, Step may suddenly suggest.

Then, the two of them got up together, one after the other, and slowly walked to the spiral staircase leading to the third floor.
