Chapter 16: Untying the Knot, Akara's Ideological and Moral Lessons

Akara said to Dabao: "You didn't do it according to the experience that countless predecessors exchanged for blood and tears, so there will be problems. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Dabao hurriedly said: "I already know, in the future, I will strengthen self-cultivation and purify the spirit." ”

"Do you think that's it, your mental instability is the cause of the problem, and if the problem of your mental instability is not solved, you will still be abnormal when you encounter a similar situation.

Akara's words startled Dabao, and he continued, "Your fundamental problem is that you have a knot. This incident in the Evil Cave looks like someone deliberately trying to fish in troubled waters, resulting in huge casualties, am I right? As a client, I don't think you feel good about it. ”

Dabao's heart tightened, and he asked weakly, "Do you see it?" ”

"I've lived for so long, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, but in the past, it was the people who created chaos to kill the corpse and take the core on fire, but I didn't expect it to be so tragic this time, and the corpse was on fire and mutated beyond my imagination, and it was beyond your imagination. You must feel guilty for the death of so many people, but you don't want to take the responsibility for the dead, so in the conflict between the left and right, your psychology has been greatly impacted, which caused the abnormality. This seed of chaos has taken root in your heart and will grow and sprout when the right time comes. As long as it exists for one day, you will never have a good conscience, and your mood will never be truly calm. ”

This is the last thing Dabao wants to hear, he immediately retorted: "They died because their strength was not strong enough, I could kill the corpse and get angry, so I lived, this account can't be counted on my head, and the strength is not enough to charter the venue, and it is also looking for death by myself, and it has nothing to do with me." I've figured it out, and I don't have a bad conscience. ”

"That's how you persuaded yourself, and it's hard to find it with your experience. But do you really think what you think is right? Akara said in a deep voice, "Let me teach you again." ”

"First of all, we can survive in Camp Rog not because of how strong we are, but because of the bloody battles of countless powerful professionals in hell, in the eyes of those people, you are just a weak ant, but they are still trying their best to protect us, because they firmly believe that with great power comes great responsibility, unlike you, who only know to laugh at the corpses of your companions for not being strong enough. Secondly, there is also a reason why Camp Rog acquiesced to the nobles' charter, what do you think would be the result of a mutant monster like corpse fire if it encounters a civilian professional with a lower level and worse equipment? How many are dead! Of course, there are exceptions to this for you. When we found out that the monster mutation would be more powerful and the harvest would be greater, we decided to let the noble team take on the task of cleaning up the mutated monsters at the cost of this benefit, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the civilian profession. It's just that later everyone forgot the true purpose of the charter, and only saw the benefits in their eyes, especially some of the more powerful civilian professionals, who were unwilling to miss this opportunity to increase their skills, so they began to cause chaos. For this kind of thing, as long as it does not cause a major incident, we will also turn a blind eye. ”

Akara's words shattered all the reasons that Dabao had found for himself to shirk his responsibility. Hearing Akara's words, Dabao lowered his head in shame. Fantasy is a beautiful bubble, which can't withstand the touch of others, and the reasons that are only considered from self-interest can only be used for self-comfort, and they can't resist what Akara said.

Since this is already the case, stretching out the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, Dabao simply admitted. He looked up, looked at Akara and said, "I see, it seems that I was really wrong." I was so ignorant and naΓ―ve that I didn't think about the reasons for many things I didn't understand, and I just took them for granted. Now that this has happened, how are you going to punish me? ”

"Why should you be punished? As I said earlier, you have a knot. All I'm talking about now is just to untie your heart. Akara laughed. Then she continued, "And your knot hasn't been untied yet." ”

"What!" Dabao was taken aback: "I have already recognized the mistake, why haven't I solved it yet?" ”

"Everything you have just said is just a faΓ§ade, a reason for you to disguise your true thoughts. And the real problem is that you are afraid, when you really face death, you have a sense of fear, so you will be eager to improve your strength to protect yourself, but you don't feel it. Akara said.

"No, it won't!" Dabao was surprised: "I'm very timid, how can I not feel afraid?" ”

"I don't understand either, I always feel that you don't see people as real, but as illusory, so you replace fear with other feelings, so that you know it's fearful but you don't know it exists," Akara wondered. ”

Dabao nodded, he knew that this was a deep-rooted game mentality, and his understanding of the concept of death was not normal. It wasn't until this time that he saw the death of Marchus, no different from the death of a person on Earth, that Dabao realized that he was the same as the people here. Fear had quietly taken over his heart, and if it hadn't been for Akara's revelation, he wouldn't have been aware of it.

Dabao asked Akara for advice: "How can you get rid of fear? Someone told me that as long as you cultivate your self and cultivate your mind, you can purify your spirit. ”

Akara said: "Fear is a human instinct, how can it be eliminated, no matter how strong you are, when you encounter insurmountable difficulties, fear will automatically appear in your heart." Just like that paladin Marchans you said, when the monster is weaker than him, he will fight bravely, but once he finds the monster he can't fight, his courage disappears and he can only run away. ”

"Isn't this just a fight if you can beat it, and run away if you can't beat it!" As if he understood, Dabao said a classic quote he knew, and then said in doubt: "It's better to run away than to wait for death, I think it's better than exercising team spirit and sacrificial spirit." ”

"That's because you're fighting alone, and you don't know it's different to run away," Akara explained. Instinctive flight is the passive choice of the heart of fear, while the retreat of reason is the active choice of the heart of awe. All the exercise that the professional does is to transform fear into awe. Fear makes you lose courage by valuing your own life, and reverence increases courage by making you value and respect the lives of all people. When you understand that fear will not only destroy your life, but also your faith, hope, loved ones, and even everything you are not willing to give up. That's when you have the courage to stand up to your fears and protect what you don't want to give up. This is the triumph of reason over instinct, and no longer doing things according to one's own instincts, but doing things according to rules and principles, and this is having a sense of awe. ”

In this way, if you put your life first, you can only be afraid, and if you find something more important than your own life, then you will have a sense of awe? So as long as I am afraid, I think of faith, hope, relatives and the like to increase my courage to fight, and my heart knot will be untied? Is the danger of going mad gone? Dabao was first happy, and then asked weakly.

Akara said: "As long as you really understand this truth, you can upgrade with peace of mind in the future." ”

Dabao asked tentatively: "But I made such a serious mistake, don't you want to pursue it at all?" ”

Akara said: "How to investigate? Is it handed over to the law enforcement team or to the El family to pay for their lives? Everyone makes mistakes, especially young people like you, if you make a mistake and you are beaten to death with a stick, then how can young people have room to grow. ”

"Is it leniency in confession and strictness in resistance? Or is it to punish the former and the latter, to cure the sick and save people? Dabao shook his head in disbelief.

Akara said helplessly: "You little guy is so smart, let me tell you the truth, what you said is still very reasonable." His strength is not strong enough, and he deserves to die. That paladin Marchands has a higher level than you, better equipment than you, and more importantly, he has cultivated for a year longer than you, he should be much stronger than you, but the truth is that with the help of so many people, he is not as good as you alone, what a bunch of waste, what hope do you have for humans. The current aristocracy is really getting more and more disappointing, indulging in the struggle for power and the extension of life, wasting a lot of resources just to cultivate a bunch of things that can condense a rune after death, or replenish the soul to the inheritance space, and what is the difference between the fertilizer that people pull out after eating. And you are different, skipping the level of combat is all the characteristics of heroes, it is worth cultivating, how can you treat it like ordinary people. ”

This time it was Dabao's turn not to understand: "After doing it for a long time, I still agree with my point of view, so what did I mean by saying it for a long time just now, which made me afraid." ”

Akara seemed to understand Dabao's thoughts, and explained, "What I just said is true for most people, but it doesn't apply to you. In my eyes, there are only seven people who can be called heroes, the growth path of heroes has always been different, they have always been not afraid of hardships and dangers, leapfrogging challenges, wandering on the edge of life and death, it is not enough to have awe, must have extraordinary courage. Your performance in this event is the prototype of the growth path of a great hero, so you will face a tougher training than the average person. ”

Dabao said in his heart: "I thought I was a hero template, so special talents are treated specially, and they must train me well to work hard." But people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, even if I don't, I have to pretend to be yes, otherwise I will really toast and not eat and drink. ”

Akara became a little excited; "You know that people need to be responsible for everything they do, you can recognize your mistakes and take the initiative to take responsibility, which shows that your humanity is still good, which is why I am willing to give you a chance, people who are evil in their hearts cannot grow into heroes. I have seen too many people who have been confused by power, brave hearts, and who have been attracted by power and recklessly stepped into danger, fallen from the path of heroism only because they forgot their duty. ”
