Chapter 143: Helena's heroine plot

"Yes, I know that theoretically I should continue to investigate, at least it is the 'right thing to do', but I also know how much resistance there will be and how much risk there will be to continue the investigation, and sometimes it is really difficult to do my duty, and my efforts may be meaningless, but I really want to investigate, and the truth should be known to the world, after all, isn't this what we have been pursuing?"

Helena's tone was full of uncertainty and hesitation, looking at Helena's distressed appearance, Chu Ge suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Do you think this is funny? Helena asked angrily.

"Actually, you don't need to be so entangled, the key to the matter is not what is the 'right thing' and what is the 'wrong thing', many times, right and wrong are just different angles.

Americans think it's immoral to eat dog meat because dogs are people's pets, but there is no psychological barrier to eating beef, while Indians think it's immoral to eat beef because cows are their gods, can you say that Indians are wrong? Or are the Americans wrong?

From each other's point of view, both the Americans and the Indians have done wrong, but from their own point of view, neither side has done anything wrong.

Helena shook her head, "I know what you're trying to say, but now it's not a debate about what to eat, it's a living life, human life, I've been told since I was a child that life is priceless, and now several human lives are going to be sacrificed for the ulterior motives of some big people, am I going to do nothing?" “

Chu Gexin said that it was really exciting news, but why wasn't he surprised at all? Well, it must be that there are too many such relationships in Hollywood movies in the past.

Although he knew that he should support Helena's investigation according to the general routine, so as to show that he was a 'good person', he still shook his head: "From the perspective of individual human beings, the value of life is priceless, but from the perspective of human beings as a whole, the value of life is not that high.

Did you know that in the past, when building skyscrapers, an average of one worker died for every floor built? It is considered a miracle that only five workers died during the construction of the Empire State Building, so isn't the lives of these dead workers quantifiable? “

Why do you build these skyscrapers when you know that people will die, and is it true that these skyscrapers are all wrong? Of course not, building these skyscrapers feeds those construction workers.

The key is not the value of life, but the purpose, the purpose is the root of everything, the capitalist built these buildings for profit, as long as the pension of the deceased worker did not exceed his ability to bear he would do it without hesitation, the purpose of the worker's participation in the construction is to support himself, and to live better, even if the risk of his life is worth it, as long as the danger is not beyond the wages obtained.

Rulers will wage war for profit, rebels will wage war for political demands, arms dealers will wage war to make money to support others, and soldiers will fight for all sorts of reasons.

In the eyes of many people, human life and moral right and wrong are just two weights on the scale to achieve their own goals, which are no different from other weights, and sometimes they are lighter.

So the question is, what is your purpose? What is most important to you? Personal accolades? Justice served? Your own safety? Or is it some kind of appeal from the bottom of my heart?

Anything is quantifiable in a way, if the risk outweighs the benefit, then give up, if your desire to achieve the goal outweighs your fear of risk, then stick to it, it's as simple as that. “

After Chu Ge finished speaking, Helena was stunned, faintly surprised and admired.

"I didn't expect you to be a philosopher."

Chu Gexin said that Lao Tzu's connotation was deep, but he shook his head on his face, "It's not a philosopher, it's just a little more understanding than some people, so Helena, why did you choose to be an FBI in the first place?" ”

Helena had a look of remembrance on her face, "I would love to say that I was for justice, or something noble, but no, when I was very young, I once went to see a movie, and I can't remember the name of the movie, but the plot is still vivid.

The story is about a female FBI agent, she discovers a big conspiracy of a consortium, and finally sends these corrupt scum to prison, I like that female agent, not because her actions are just, but in that movie, she is really cool, beautiful, tough, smart, an out-and-out winner, defeats those powerful and seemingly invincible enemies, harvests a perfect love, everything is so perfect, when the movie ends, The heroine and the hero kissed each other outside the headquarters of the evil consortium that had been bombed into ruins, and I am still impressed by that image, and this has always been something I dreamed of, and I dreamed of one day standing on that burning ruin, and I think that's why I ended up being an FBI. “

Chu Ge couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, there are not too many Hollywood movies with this kind of routine.

"So why did you think it looked good? Why do you find this story so appealing to you? ”

Helena looked at Chu Ge in surprise and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”

"Because it's unreal, it's hard for this kind of thing to happen in reality, female FBI agents who are not afraid of power are more likely to be demoted, framed and imprisoned, assassinated, and sent to a mental hospital, and the male protagonist or something is even more unlikely to exist, men always have a good impression of beautiful women, but to fight hard for a woman who has known each other for a few days, believe me, such a person does not exist, at least I have never seen it.

The reason why you think that story is beautiful and wonderful is because that kind of thing has never appeared in reality, and the reason why there has never been such a thing in reality is because reality is reality, not a movie, a small accident can kill the hero and heroine, and if you want to finally complete the goal, you need the aura of the protagonist to do it, do you think you have the aura of the legendary protagonist? So what I'm going to say is, forget it, there's no need to lose your life for these, the chances of you investigating and becoming that heroine are definitely very slim, and it's more likely that you will disappear inexplicably, making your family sad and crying for you, and nothing has changed in the end, if you really want to be the heroine in that movie, you might as well be an actor, you are so beautiful, it's not impossible. “

That Helena looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, but Chu Ge looked indifferent, because this was indeed what he was thinking.

He still has some good feelings about Helena, although he really wants to get a girl to bed, but for life and death, he still prefers to tell the truth.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I'm saying that for the sake of being friends, of course I want the more good people in this world to be as good as possible, but the problem is, if the risk of being a good person is very high, then I don't want anyone I know to do that."

Helena smiled bitterly, "I want to say that you are a bastard, but what you said is right, reality is not a movie after all, I am not the heroine in the movie, and you are not the male protagonist who is willing to die for me, you are just a handsome detective, and you just happened to tell me the truth." “

"What, hurt your feelings?"

"No," Helena shook her head, as if muttering to herself, "You made me realize the reality, forget it, let's eat, I'm already hungry." “
