Chapter 252: Free Will

As the days passed, Schwarronsen, who had not been able to see Lin Zaishan, became more and more agitated. In the early hours of the morning, just as he was about to take the plunge and make a big fuss, two guards approached him and asked him to go.

"I'm trying to find someone to be angry, and count you two unlucky." Schwallonsen thought to himself, and obediently followed the two guards to a wooden house.

"Get in! There are big people looking for you inside. The guards pointed their guns into the door.

Schwarronsen glared at the two guards proudly, activated the petrification ability to its strongest state, and strode into the house.

In the room, two thin people, one black and one white, stood on the left and right, and one of them sat facing in a chair.

"Which of the so-called big shots are you? What's the matter with me? I'm very busy. Schwarronsen said.

The man sitting turned around leisurely, but it was Lin Zaishan, "Idol, it looks like you're doing well these days." ”

"Zode...... Old friend Lucifer, what have you been up to these days? I thought something had happened to you. ”

"In the past few days, I have been forced to prepare Lucifer pills for some company commanders and battalion commanders, and by the way, I have done some 'scientific experiments'."

"I'll go! The Lucifer pill turned out to be your handiwork. Schwaronsen was surprised and delighted, "The guards didn't care about the miners anymore, and everyone's life was much better." ”

Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "I plan to use pills to control the guards, and then take the mine bloodlessly." So far, at least, the plan is going well. Now, with the exception of a few ruthless people, most of the guards have become my servants and obey me. ”

Schwarronsen vigilantly glanced at the two people standing on the left and right of Lin Zaishan, "Are these two slender brothers reliable?" Can such a confidential matter be interviewed in front of them? ”

"Rest assured, they're as reliable as Mira, Billy, Jack, Rose, etc. By the way, let me introduce them, they are called Suke and Pete. ”

Schwarronsen grabbed Sucker and Pete by the collars, raised them in the air and threatened: "If I find out that you two have done something that you two shouldn't have done or said something that shouldn't have been said, I'll break you into 6 pieces!" ”

"Roger. Dude, let us go quickly. ”

Schwarronsen turned to Lin Zaishan, "Old friend, what are you going to do next?" ”

"I beg your brother to send a telegram to the Knights of the Last Days, asking them to try to cross the Colorado River and come over to receive this mine."

"Are you really sure you have to control this mine?" Schwarronsen still couldn't believe it.

"All I have to do is snap my fingers, and the mine will change in no time."

"Zalin, it's not that I doubt you, but this matter is really high, and I will only believe it if I see it with my own eyes."

"No problem." Lin Zaishan shouted to the guards outside: "Inform everyone to assemble on the flat ground, and if Galen and Thorpe refuse to cooperate, ignore them." ”

"Yes!" The two guards immediately split up.

A few minutes later, there was a commotion of people gathering outside.

The miners, who did not know the truth, worriedly asked, "What happened?" Is it going to execute us en masse? "I think I'm going to play that perverted and terrifying game again." "No, I heard that the guards have been hiking these days, so I guess they want to invite us to have a good time." "You dream. Do you know how expensive a Lucifer pill is? You may not be able to afford 1 grain for a week's worth of mining. ”

Compared with the miners' discussions, the guards, who have always been arrogant and domineering, seem much quieter and more restrained this time. On the one hand, they maintained order, and on the other hand, they all looked at the hut where Lin Zaishan was located with anticipation and excitement. In the past few days, a series of miraculous and even frightening stories have taken place in this hut, and it is said that a large number of company commanders and platoon commanders have rushed into this hut with great vigour, and then come out respectfully. The owner of the hut is named Lucifer, and it is absolutely shocking.

In fact, Lin Zaishan used the opportunity of dispensing medicine to conduct a large number of controlled experiments on consciousness projection abilities. He realized a basic truth from the last information shock: the so-called ability is actually just a more advanced symbiosis or resonance state between the individual star soul and the external world, and the key is the individual star soul's capture and marking of the star soul symbol (particle combination) from the external world. The more Star Soul symbols an individual captures and marks, the higher the level, and the better the quality, the more powerful the ability becomes. Marking different Soul Symbols and activating different (multiple Star Soul symbols in a specific order) command will activate and cast different abilities.

Compared to abilities that spawn spontaneously or are activated with spells, abilities that are obtained through Star Soul symbols and statement commands are closer to substance and fundamentals. To use an analogy, a naturally occurring ability is like a pie in the sky, the result of serendipity, and often cannot be replicated; Abilities activated with spells are like a short-term loan, they don't really belong to you, and they can be easily thwarted and interrupted, and you have to practice and grind in repeatedly before you can solidify into your inner ability. However, the abilities obtained through the Star Soul Symbol and Statement Instructions are the result of the operation of the internal laws of the system world, just like the system administrator uses program instructions to control the computer, and its authority and effectiveness are far higher than that of ordinary and temporary users.

Lin Zaishan can be said to be a natural coder, he has mastered multiple level 4 star soul symbols in a short period of time, and the void color with a life energy level much higher than him is far inferior in this regard.

Because he was going to use pills to control the guards, Lin Zaishan's main attention in the past few days was focused on the mind control ability. He found; There are two basic paths to mind control (and in fact most abilities rely on them), one is to use energy as a medium and the other is to use matter as a medium, and the two are actually one and the same. He used drugs to mentally control the guards, and of course he took the path of matter as a medium; But he doesn't use hallucinogenic drugs, but drugs that enhance physical strength, and the real factor of mind control is the consciousness energy projected into it, so it is a path with energy as the medium. Drugs are nothing more than an optional material vehicle for the transmission of his conscious energy, and in fact he can achieve the same effect through water or food; Of course, the latter option requires him to find access to the cafeteria first, and perhaps to use his cooking skills.

Unlike others, Lin Zaishan did not get ecstatic after mastering the consciousness projection ability and mind control ability, and used it indiscriminately; Instead, he became more cautious and cautious. In addition to his own personality at work, he also knows that free will is a kind of almost sacrosanct natural right in many cultures, and even in some cultures, God is omnipotent, but cannot control people's free will. Since free will is so important, there is no doubt that mind control, a brazen violation of free will, will be accompanied by certain unintended consequences.

This can also be seen in the changes in positive energy in recent days. With the enhancement of Lin Zaishan's mental control over the guards, his positive energy reserves did not increase significantly. The positive energy reserve is the foundation for Lin Zaishan to stand in the last days, and others can not do it properly, but he has to pay attention to it.

Ten minutes later, all the miners and guards were gathered on the level, even the people on the watchtowers. Of course, as Lin Zaishan expected, the battalion commander Galen and the company commander Thorpe did not arrive. The negative energy in their bodies was too strong, and Lin Zaishan couldn't eliminate it through pills in the short term, and of course, it was difficult to achieve mental control over them. However, these two people were influenced by Lin Zaishan, and their anger was greatly reduced, and they saw that the miners and their subordinates were no longer as arrogant and brutal as before - and because of this, Lin Zaishan left them a way to live, instead of killing them directly.

Schwarronsen looked at everything that was happening outside the house and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Zha Lin, you really have to control them?" ”

"Rest assured, this control is only temporary. After a period of time, they will regain their free will. ”

"Zarin, if you can save so many coolies without bloodshed through mind control soldiers, then I suggest you continue to strengthen this ability."

Lin Zaishan sighed, "Although the mind control ability is strong, it is not beneficial for the growth of positive energy, and excessive use will be punished by God." ”

"Do you believe in damnation?"

"If you don't believe it, this is the system rule of the galaxy world."

"No matter what, I believe that you have good intentions, as long as we do our best, the result will be good."

"While some abilities can predict the future, free will is unpredictable. Not even gods can sway people's free will, let alone mortals? ”

"Leave the hell out of the gods." Schwarronsen said: "As long as the end is right and the result is ideal, why bother with the means? ”

"Idol, you're really pragmatist."

"Old friend, I already believe that you can control these guards, you take out the telegraph, and I will send the report now." Schwarronsen skillfully operated the telegraph and asked, "What are you going to do next?" Do you want the guards to disarm immediately? ”

"I'm afraid not yet."

"Why? Is it more reassuring for you to have a weapon in the hands of the guards than in the hands of the miners? ”

"A Matter of Human Nature." Lin Zaishan sighed: "The more I study the ability, the more profound my thinking about human nature becomes. Idol, if we disarm the guards now, do you know what terrible things will happen? ”

"What?"

"The miners will take advantage of the opportunity to kill the guards or retaliate. The miners will inevitably fight with each other, and their methods will be more brutal and bloody than being suppressed by the guards. ”

Schwarronsen paused for a moment and sighed, "Zhalin, you're not bad at all. From what I know about these people, they will definitely do it. But can't you mind control the miners? ”

"We're here to rescue the miners, not to control them. If the mind control ability is applied to the miners, wouldn't the point of salvation be greatly diminished? How can the rescued miners start their post-apocalyptic lives like good people? ”

"You can control the miners for a short period of time, just like you do with the guards."

"Let's have a meeting first, see how the miners are performing, and then make a decision." Lin Zaishan said: "If they are very tolerant and cooperative, we will be very worry-free; On the other hand, if they are violent, we may have to use some means. ”

Suke next to him chimed in: "I bet the miners will definitely be more violent than the other. ”

Pitt retorted: "I believe most miners will make an informed choice. ”

"It's called free will, isn't it?" Schwarronsen sneered disdainfully, "Of course the free will of good people is valuable, but it is better to give those fools free will, they will only do stupid things and cause trouble for us." He gestured to wipe his neck. Schwarronson has been spending time with all kinds of miners in the past few days, and has experienced all kinds of problems with them, and he himself has almost killed several of them on several occasions.

"Idol, your point of view is not quite in line with the spirit of the Knights of the Last Days."

"I'm just verbally and conceptually, after all, I also have free will, don't I?" Schwarronson argued with a smile.
