Chapter 302: Consumption

β€œ...”

The pit worm was silent for a moment, allowing himself to recover from the shock just now, and said slowly: "Do you think it is so easy to pollute a dragon?

Even though the mirage has been trapped for thousands of years, it has been polluted by demonic breath, and it has long been weakened, and can only rely on the crown of the moon god to maintain its sanity.

But a dragon is a dragon after all, how can it be controlled without giving more.

If there was another way, we didn't want to do it.

It's a pity that the situation is urgent, and there is no more time to prepare,

After all, no one has seen real dragons for hundreds of years, and no one knows their characteristics, so they can only follow the inherited scriptures and perform the rituals step by step..."

"Who said that? I've seen it,"

Li Ang said eloquently: "Before I became a player, I was served by a dragon in a foreign country. ”

The pit worm looked confused, "Huh? ”

"Funeral dragon."

Li Ang added: "I was invited by the Nordic region to be the ambassador of the European funeral culture experience in the new era, and I enjoyed a three-day Nordic funeral tour in the past.

As a result, I found that the funeral culture abroad is similar to ours.

As soon as the song sounded, the cloth was covered, the whole village waited for the food to be served, walked and walked, and carried it, followed by a piece of white, the coffin was lifted, the soil was buried, and relatives and friends cried.

Finally, there is a couplet: sighing and howling in the throat, tears spilling rivers and seas,

Heng Pi: It's too late to die. ”

??? You're talking about stand-up comedy.

The pit worm barely resisted the urge to complain.

Calm, calm down.

In fact, according to the classics left by the Yueyang faction, they still have a backup plan.

Even if the combination of the sacrificial wine lord and the resentful demon did not take the palace lamp to the bottom of the demon cave as previously planned, and open the fog gate that closed the mirage,

They can still break through the barrier of the fog gate by expanding the ritualsβ€”

That is, let the pit worm and the other two presiding over the ritual join themselves in the ritual, make sacrifices, increase the power of the ritual, and then complete the contamination of the crown of the moon god.

Only in that case, the Epiphany Organization would have to send additional people to the bottom of the Demon Cave and pay more sacrifices to gain control of the mirage.

The ants are still stealing life, and as a player with a big future, pit worms certainly don't want to die here. In any case, you have to get the palace lantern in your hands.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Ang, who was looking at the long pole, and said in a deep voice: "You are so unwilling to cooperate, presumably because the organization rejected your opinion before." ”

Leon turned and looked at the pit pitter.

The pit worm said slowly: "The dragon can be big and small, and it can rise and hide; The big one is the clouds and the fog, and the small one is hidden and hidden; The rising is soaring between the universe, and the hidden is lurking in the waves. Fang is deep this spring, and the dragon changes with the times.

And the mirage, as an alienated dragon species, can cover tens of thousands of miles in the fog realm at most. With a special conductive fog formation, it can completely cover most of the civilization areas on the earth.

In other words, if you have a mirage, you have a future.

Just like other covert organizations, Epiphany is not monolithic, and there are many factions within Epiphany. There are quite a few people who just want to use the mirage to maintain their position.

They are afraid of the impact of the killing game, the danger and death brought by the killing game,

They are even more afraid of the thousands of transcendents who attribute their power to themselves that have arisen from the game of killing. ”

The pit worm paused for a moment, and then continued: "They, or the magnates represented by Epiphany,

It's not that they're afraid of the power that transcendents wield – from a probabilistic point of view, the elite are more likely to become advanced players.

What they fear is the collapse of the social order of the old era that the player represents. ”

The pit worm looked at the sacrificial wine seriously and said, "I have read your files, including your psychological test and the policy propensity test, and you seem to be as distrustful of capital as those people in Whale Song.

I would like to ask you a question, why has capital and capitalists not perished since the nineteenth century, but have continued to maintain their vigorous vitality? Not overthrown or replaced? ”

"Hmm."

Leon thought for a moment and replied, "No form of society will perish until all the productive forces it can contain are brought into play; And the new and higher relations of production will never appear until the material conditions of their existence have matured in the womb of the old society. ”

"Conservative answer,"

The pit worm nodded and said slowly: "Capitalism still has room for the development of productive forces, and it can continue its life through local adjustments to the relations of production.

Among them, the two major weapons used by capital to maintain the social form are hedonism and consumerism.

Through marketing brainwashing, capital distorts the concepts of 'beauty', 'freedom', 'individuality', etc., binds concepts with materials, gives birth to people's consumption needs and impulses, and then consumes the wealth produced, completes exploitation, and realizes the perfect closed loop of consumerism.

In the superhero literary works before the killing game, the transcendent comes from ordinary people, whether he can go to heaven and earth, move mountains and reclaim the sea,

As long as he is not completely detached from human society, he cannot leave the closed loop of consumerism generated by the brainwashing of capital for a long time.

Traditionally, transcendents need bigger houses, better cars, better living environments, and higher social status.

In short, the transcendent in superhero literature and art is still human, and it is impossible to survive without human society.

Even if they have special powers, they cannot be completely isolated from capital consumption.

They will use their supernatural power to make class leaps, to enter the upper classes, to cooperate with the inherent elites, or to share power.

And the inherent magnates can transform themselves into a transcendent class step by step through marriage or bribery.

In this process, the original social form will not be turned upside down, and the superior is still the superior, but from the economic advantage to the economic plus personal force advantage. ”

Pit Worm paused for a moment and pointed to himself, "However, the killing game is different from the traditional superhero literary and artistic works, and the script task once every two or three weeks determines the transcendent produced by the killing game, and the speed of renewal is extremely fast.

They have a higher sense of crisis, and their demand for consumerism and hedonism has dropped to a freezing point.

This means that for the transcendent of the killing game, the value of the existence of capital is not so great.

They don't need a bigger house, a better car, a better living environment, or a higher social status, and in the face of the two-to-three-week scripted mission, the first thing they have to consider is their own survival.

The fanatical quest for power dictates that the existing social order becomes an obstacle rather than an aid to the transcendental, who can do whatever it takes to gain power.

As the game progresses, the power of the transcendent will become greater and greater, and the existing social form will eventually fall apart.

Such a future development direction is absolutely unacceptable to the elite class represented by Epiphany.

They can tolerate some of the lower classes to share power with them with the help of supernatural powers.

But it is unacceptable that the transcendent completely destroys the social order, including the power base that carries them. ”
