Chapter 186: What is a Heart Anchor?
The muzzle of the punishment let out a deafening deafening sound again, and this time the alloy slug emitted by the nitrogen salt charge hit Ren Yuan with precision. The powerful warhead turned the latter's head into a watermelon that had been run over by a truck, turning into countless crumbling (ròu) pieces that drenched the soft earth.
Ren Yuan, who looked invincible in the last second, turned into a headless male corpse in the blink of an eye, and fell weakly in the direction of the bullet (shè).
Haizi opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Fu Li, who was kneeling on the ground and lost his soul, with a complicated look in his eyes.
…
"Did you hear anything?" Yu Qian tilted his head and asked the pilot of the helicopter, "It seems to be a gunshot?" ”
After receiving Ren Yuan's order to check the surroundings, the Zhi-9D carrying Yu Qian circled along the island and did not find any other abnormalities. After a lap, it was back to the front, just in time for Fu Li's second shot.
"Are you kidding?" The pilot smiled and said, "You may have misheard the sound of the engine, at this distance, it is difficult to hear the sound of artillery firing from below from the helicopter, let alone shooting?" ”
"Maybe I'm too careful, but from the beginning, I can't contact Ren Yuan." Yu Qian also knew that eighty percent of it was a psychological effect, but not being able to contact Ren Yuan made him a little uneasy.
"It's not surprising, maybe there was a fight, and it's normal for communication equipment to be damaged." The driver calmly analyzed that for a soldier like him, who has worked on the front line of the disaster department for many years, his heart is much bigger than Yu Qian in the face of these problems.
"Isn't the other party just a D-class alien?" Yu Qian said uneasily, "Can you get closer, I want to see the situation at the scene." ”
"It's a little dangerous to get closer, the weather is very bad today, and the other party is a climatic alien, I'm afraid it's not very safe." The driver was a little embarrassed: "According to the regulations, we can't get too close. When we can see them, they can see us. ”
"Even if you have a home advantage, the other party is just a D-class alien, so you don't need to worry about the body of a false god, right? Let's wait and see. “
"Then raise it a little higher and get closer, I'm not worried about Ren Yuan." Yu Qian sighed and said, "There is also a member of the coyote brigade on the island. ”
…
Although a shot had been fired before, it was more of a means of intimidation. In the final analysis, Haizi is indeed a fugitive, and Ren Yuan is a real soldier of the Thunder Dragon Brigade, Fu Li clearly knows that his behavior is no different from treason.
What he didn't expect was that the body of the legendary pseudo-god would be so vulnerable. For a player at the lowest level like him, he doesn't have much access to classified information. A lot of information outside of authority comes from word of mouth between acquaintances.
And at this moment, the body of the pseudo-god who had been repeatedly mythologized was so easily killed under his own gun, which made him panic, and an indescribable sense of absurdity rose in his heart. Hooking his numb fingers, Fu Li's brain went blank for a while.
Soon, though, Haizi's painful moans pulled him back from his state of distraction. He threw away the punishment, took three steps and two steps to the sea (shēn), and forcefully lifted Ren Yuan's body off the girl (shēn). Immediately after, his gaze locked on the blade of the sword that was inserted in Haizi's shoulder.
From the beginning of Ren Yuan's appearance in shark form, he noticed several blades of varying lengths hanging from the former (shēn). Looking closely, he found that this blade, which was more than a foot long, had never been bladed, and it was like a thick iron bar in his hand, and it was firmly nailed to the ground through Haizi's shoulder at this moment.
Fu Li tore off a piece of his shirt and wrapped the blade of the sword that was leaking outside, and whispered to Haizi
"You bear with it, and I'll pull it out."
"Why would you do that?" Haizi sighed lightly, "Do you know what you did?" ”
"Let's not talk about that yet." Fu Li used all his strength to pull out, but he couldn't pull it out at all, and there was a crisp sound of metal and bone rubbing against the wound, and Haizi frowned in pain.
"Don't bother, you stop first, I have something to say to you." Haizi stretched out his hand to grab Fu Li and said softly
Seeing that he couldn't take it out in a hurry, Fu Li also let go of his hand. Hui (shēn) went to the well and fetched Haizi's clothes and covered her (shēn).
"What do you want to say? I'm listening. ”
"Listen to me, don't waste your efforts." Haizi shook Fu Li's hand with his backhand, "I don't have much time left, you shouldn't offend the Ministry of Disasters for me, what should you do now?" ”
"There will always be a way, don't rush." Fu Li pretended to be relaxed and comforted, "I believe that the ministry will deal with it impartially." No matter how I say that I am not an alien, there is no way that the ministry will sentence me to death because I shot the body of a false god, right? ”
"Why are you so stupid?" Haizi sighed
"I promise you, I will always be with you in the future, I can't watch you die here."
Maybe it's because he finally doesn't have to lie, Fu Li is not as nervous as he was just now. No matter what the outcome of the matter (qíng) is, it doesn't matter at this moment, when the worst thing (qíng) has happened, Fu Li has a mentality of not worrying about debts.
"I estimate that life imprisonment is inevitable, and when the time comes, I will ask the ministry to lock us up." Fu Li said with a smile: "I can't be with you this time." ”
"No, you don't understand what I mean." Haizi said lightly, "I'm going to die soon, if you die at the hands of a pseudo-god, you can still become a hero to the disaster department." Now that it's like this, how can you explain it to the ministry? ”
"What did you say?" Fu Li asked in surprise, "Why do you say yourself..."
"You know, why did I defect?"
"You've just been deceived by the Adventists, and I believe you..."
"No, you're wrong." Haizi shook his head and interrupted Fu Li's words, "I'm real, I'm going to defect." The Adventists didn't lie to me, do you remember when I told you a while ago that the report department was preparing an application form for me? Do you know what to apply for? ”
"This, I don't know..."Fu Li was dumbfounded, "Isn't it a health check?" ”
"No, it's an application form for euthanasia." Haizi said with a smile
"What! Why! ”
"Regarding the alien residence restriction bill, it's not as simple as you think." Haizi explained softly, "You may think that this bill in the ministry is to transform the aliens and let us return to human society. ”
"Isn't it?" Fu Li asked subconsciously
"Maybe that's the starting point, but it's not realistic." Haizi said, "For us, the reality we know and understand is completely different from this world. That's why what we don't do with common sense is also called 'independent reality', you know? ”
"Well, this is the basics."
"When independent reality interferes with reality, it collides and produces abnormal fluctuations, which is the result of the incompatibility of the two realities. So actually, I was ostracized by the world. Haizi said slowly, "So for me, it's only a matter of time before I completely throw myself into another world. ”
"Why can't we throw ourselves completely into human reality?" Fu Li asked suspiciously, "Isn't the ultimate goal of the Inhuman Residence Restriction Act to return to humanity?" ”
"How is that possible?" Haizi smiled and said, "That's it, I want you to recite ten sentences in a row, 'Fu Li will never abandon Haizi', can you do it?" ”
"What's so hard about that?"
"Okay, but I ask you to be absolutely absolute in your heart when you read it, and don't think about the Himalayan monkeys at all, can you do it?"
"What's so difficult about this...."As soon as the words came out, Fu Li suddenly reacted and looked at Haizi in disbelief
"This is the fate of the Inhumans." Haizi smiled bitterly, "To the Ministry of Disaster, this is called pollution, and the Advent faction calls it awakening, in short, the moment you become an alien, there will never be a way back." ”
"And the so-called alien restricted residence bill is not as simple as you think, and the key point is not the physical restrictions." Haizi pointed to his own mouth (xiōng), "but in the anchor of the heart that we have built ourselves." ”
"What is a heart anchor?" Fu Li remembered the conversation between Ren Yuan and Haizi just now, and asked curiously
"Each Inhuman's heart anchor is different, but the function is the same, which is the foundation that Inhumans use to build human reason." Haizi patiently explained, "In order not to completely fall into a different source, we must guard the bottom line of (shēn) as a human being. When confronted with alien pollution, when you can't identify yourself as a human, you become an alien. And when reason (xìng) evaporates and is completely lost in independent reality, it is just a simple disaster for the world. ”
"The heart anchor is a mark of the alien in reality, and we use it to construct a false personality to forcibly recognize the reality of this world and prevent our hearts from being swallowed up by independent reality."
"I don't understand." Fu Li said embarrassedly
"It's normal, and it's only when you really become an alien that you understand what those words mean." Haizi smiled lightly and said, "You can simply understand that the monster deceives itself as a human in order to live with people. But no matter who it is, you can see at a glance that monsters and people are different. ”
"So the monster forcibly found a common ground with humans, such as that he and others both want to drink water, so as to deceive himself into being human."
"Isn't that great?" Fu Li said, "As long as everyone thinks that the lie is true, then isn't it true? ”
"No, you can deceive someone forever, you can deceive everyone temporarily, but you can't deceive everyone forever." Haizi let out a long sigh: "No matter how beautiful a lie is, no matter how strong the heart anchor, it is vulnerable in the face of reality." ”
"It is not one person who rejects us, but the whole world, which comes from a fundamentally different perception of reality. Sooner or later, we will not be able to persevere, and we will completely break with this world, because this world will never allow the existence of a second reality. ”
"That's why the Inhumans in the Disaster Department tend to hold out for less than a decade, while those in the Advent persist even longer. Also rejected by this world, those Advent Inhumans draw strength from their independent reality to stand up to reality. But we have even abandoned our own independent reality. ”
"My heart anchor can no longer support me to resist the erosion of independent reality, which is the fundamental collapse of the three views. If I still refuse to accept independent reality, I will only lose myself in the collision of two realities, and become a monster that is not even as good as an alien. ”
"I don't believe it, aren't you okay now?" Fu Li held Haizi's hand tightly, "I don't believe in monsters that aren't monsters, you are you, you are human, not monsters." ”
"You know what?" Haizi looked at him gently, "Just half a day ago, in order to ensure that you can be with me forever." I've made up my mind to kill everyone you know, your relatives, friends, colleagues. ”
The girl obviously used an extremely gentle tone, but the words she said made Fu Li suddenly feel cold all over her body.
"Do you know why I'm willing to die at the hands of a false god?"
"Why..."
"Silly boy, because she has found a new anchor in her heart, she has reconstructed her human reason in a short period of time." Ren Yuan's corpse next to him suddenly sat up, and said angrily
"If you say it in literature and art, it's called because (ài) (qíng), right?"
