Chapter 29: Past Verdicts (2)
Bai Chu stood beside Lan Ye, and the place where they stood was in the Colosseum, although they were on the edge and not in the center, but surrounded by various clans of Shimmer, and they could hear the rebuttals and insults one after another.
He looked at the phantom of the white night, and then swept away the degenerates who looked terrible, and who were eager to kill your whole family, and cursed wildly, and then looked back at Lan Ye, who was close to him and pondered.
He knew that he was a student, he was the one who rescued her from the garbage dump in the city of Night, her growth, every bit of her past years, he was all too familiar with it.
When Lan Ye was young, he also thought that Lan Ye would grow into a woman who was as cold as ice and would not care about the life or death of others.
What she never thought was that people's thinking and psychology are the most complex and changeable, after she grew up, she has traveled a lot of places, seen a lot of human suffering, she hopes to change the world, to create a fair, just, harmonious and beautiful pure land.
To be honest, Bai Chu was not optimistic about her, but he never said that her dream was empty and unrealistic, but helped her and encouraged her, he felt that people with dreams were better than people without dreams!
Yes, in the eyes of many people, her dream is not realistic, but if she doesn't even have a dream and dare not chase it, how different is a smart life from a salted fish?
In order to realize her dream, she willingly went with her classmates to a border town in the west, where they developed industry, amassed strength, and used all means to form alliances with small nobles and merchants to fight for their ideals.
It wasn't a long time for her, but it was perhaps the most unforgettable memory of her life!
Later, a series of changes and stories, they rose all the way from a border town and went through ups and downs. Built a country of its own.
However, the environment is changing, the status is changing, and people's hearts are constantly changing with the world, at any time, and with things.
Many of her classmates have changed, and the sense of power and wealth in their positions has gradually led them to lose themselves. Forgetting their original dreams, they became the nobles they used to be ashamed of and wanted to rebel against.
They have become a class of interests, people who are no different from the rulers of the past!
She began to get confused, wondering why all this was going on? When one of her female classmates was murdered, she was even more confused.
At that time, Bai Chu appeared and told her that if there was no strength. Then look at this world, see how this country changes.
She did, thousands of years later, and she found it more and more difficult to accomplish her dream.
In the world, as long as there are paranoid desires and human hearts in wisdom, then absolute fairness can never be achieved.
She followed the white night to the glimmer. Not only to seek the power to achieve her dreams, but also to see if the Shimmer civilization has reached her ideal state.
But the herd of the void beasts spoken of by the Lord God. She now saw the split verdict of the Glimmer Fallen and the Progressive, as if to tell her clearly: Your dreams are impossible!
As she pondered, Bai Ye, who was standing in the center of the Colosseum, looked up and waved her hand, albeit only as a phantom image. But it seemed to have a magic that shook the audience.
But he did not speak, and on the judgment seat, a Terran forward, a young woman, stood up and began to state: "We acknowledge the glorious past of our ancestors. We acknowledge that they have shed their heads and shed their blood for the sake of civilization as a whole. Yes, they were pioneers, and without their struggles, we would not be where we are today. ”
"We can't forget the people who died when the Blue Lotus launched the spacecraft, we can't forget the tens of thousands of scientists who sacrificed their lives in the experiment of cold fusion miniaturization in March, we can't forget the geomagnetic device that was out of control, who was not afraid of sacrifice and shut down the entire base, we can't forget the madness of the moon beasts, and the blood of millions of soldiers spilled on the frontier!"
"Yes, they are our ancestors, the pioneers of our civilization, we are their descendants, the torch of this civilization was passed down to us by them, we cannot forget, and we dare not forget!"
The young woman said one after another, Lan Ye raised her head and listened quietly, almost everyone in the entire Colosseum listened in silence except for the roars of those degenerates.
But what are we inheriting from our ancestors? Is it the status and wealth that they pass on to us? Is it a reason why we can stand on the fallen bodies of our ancestors and start being lazy and start drinking the blood of our ancestors? ”
The woman's expression was heavy, and her voice rose sharply, startling some of the still rampant degenerates a little weaker.
"No, we inherit the blood of our ancestors, we are the continuation of their lives, and we are the eyes of their eyes who want to see a bright future! What we inherit is the spirit of our ancestors who dared to open up the territory and work hard to protect civilization, protect their families, and strive for the future! ”
The woman's voice was low, telling eloquently, touching the hearts of countless people.
"The achievements of our ancestors belong to them, and we commemorate them and dare not forget them. However, this does not belong to the status and wealth of our descendants, because we are independent individuals, although we are connected by blood with our ancestors, we are also independent intelligent beings, and each of us is an independent and special existence in civilization. The achievements of our ancestors are glorious and worthy of our pride in commemorating them, but after all, they belong to their era, and we need to open up our own glory. ”
"Some of you may say that this is the wealth left to us by our ancestors, we can use it as we want, and our ancestors sacrificed so much for civilization, can't we?"
The woman's eyes scanned the circle, and many people lowered their heads, many held their heads high in disdain, and some degenerates cursed "human rape, bitch/son, bitch, mongrel".
"But who isn't?"
The woman suddenly smiled, with a little sadness, and some of her classmates had also become degenerates, and were scolding her for the fiercest and most ruthless.
Her sudden question left many people speechless, and they understood the meaning of the woman's question.
Yes, they are all equal lives, and their ancestors have contributed to the entire civilization, and many people have even sacrificed their lives.
Your ancestors were glorious and dedicated to civilization, but so are ours, perhaps more than you, and sacrificed more than you.
But now, you are trying to stand in the shoes of your ancestors and say that we can be lazy, that we can be degenerate, that we can lie in civilization, that we can openly stand on the backs of others and suck blood.
Why? Why can you do that? Who gave you that power?
"Why? Why can you be lazy and enjoy the results of others? Why should you be arrogant and indulgent, and enjoy yourself doing nothing? ”
The woman held out a finger and pointed to the group of degenerates, some of whom bowed their heads, some of whom remained fierce and stubborn.
After the woman asked, she sat down, her eyes closed, and her virtual body trembled in position.
On the side of the degenerate, some people want to continue to argue and plead, but suddenly find that their biggest basis is self-defeating in the woman's words.
Another blue-haired moon elf stood up, she didn't smile, she looked at the parents in the camp of the Fallen, "I understand your feelings for your children, but it doesn't mean understanding. You say you want the fallen to stay in civilization and redouble your efforts to repay this debt. ”
"But you have to understand that you are not in debt to civilization, and civilization does not owe you anything. Even though you are parents, you do not have the authority to make decisions for the Fallen, so you are not qualified to take the place of the Fallen. ”
After the Moon Elf finished speaking, he sat down, and many parents in the Fallen camp looked at each other and smiled bitterly helplessly.
What they don't know about the words of this moon elf, it's just the deep love for their children, even if they are moved in the night.
Bai Ye thought of Huang Rong again, if she put herself in her shoes and became a degenerate, I'm afraid she would be the same, right?
Understanding and understanding is not the same as understanding and accepting! The punishment of the fallen is for them, not for their parents.
This is actually a very ruthless and cruel thing.
Another snake man stood up, his face expressionless and very indifferent, "The fairness you just shouted about is actually only fairness to you, not to us, and not to everyone. And absolute fairness in the true sense of the word is ruthless, cold, and cruel. We cannot guarantee absolute fairness, but, as far as the Supreme Archon is concerned, the very existence of our civilized rules of law is to serve the majority of its members. And unfortunately, today, because of your own selfishness, you are no longer the majority of people. ”
Hearing this, Lan Ye raised her head suddenly, combining everything she had seen and heard in the Colosseum, and had a kind of enlightenment.
"You say, 'What will happen to our children after them if they fall?' I can tell you very clearly, the same punishment, the same banishment, will not be tolerated! ”
After the snake man finished speaking, he sat down, and Bai Ye said at this time, "Those who advance may not always advance, and those who fall may not fall forever, and the banishment to you is not all punishment, and those who have dreams of climbing will climb along the ladder given to them to civilization again." ”
"You can hate us, hate us, and even develop technology beyond us to destroy us, but we are not afraid if you can. We are here, waiting for you! ”
Bai Ye's indifferent words represent firm determination.
There were many people speaking and debating again, and Lan Ye listened with relish, listening and thinking at the same time.
It's a pity that this page of history will finally be turned and the final vote on the verdict of the fallen begins!
"Teacher, is there really no such thing as absolute fairness?"
At the end of the virtual video playback, Lan Ye asked Bai Chu.
"Don't you have an answer?"
Bai Chu chuckled and looked at her, and she smiled back, she had completely gotten rid of the confusion about the future at this moment. (To be continued.) )
