1569 Shadows
Once again, the right river was in front of me, as it had been on the previous ones, on a straight trajectory that would inevitably collide, and under the premise of mystery, as long as it was in a state of rapid sweeping, it was impossible to deviate from this track. Even so, I think this time must be different from the previous ones. I was so powerless to be in the same situation before, and I was reluctant to resist at the last moment, and no matter what others thought of it, it was a "miracle" in my eyes, and it was a situation that should be avoided no matter what. However, what is different from the past few times this time is that I was pushed by the force of the swift sweep, and it was my own choice to gallop on this inevitable trajectory.
I chose this way to complete the final battle, and it was the result that I came up with after thinking about it repeatedly - it is important whether the result is correct or not, but the process is also very important before the result is available.
Have I ever wondered why Youjiang would give me her arm, just to verify something she was thinking? Or is there anything else that means beneath what she said to me? There are many possibilities, but since the other party is defined as a "monster" and is from a hostile position, I think it is extremely inappropriate to consider such behavior as a potential good intention. When dealing with people, the thoughts expressed in the words and actions of the other person can sometimes be complex, and sometimes there are some good thoughts under the surface of malice.
However, as the "monster" himself said, it is ridiculous to speculate on the "monster" from the perspective and thoughts of people. In the same way, raising the complexity of human beings to the complexity of monsters is a way of thinking about human nature. The answer to this way of thinking will only be an answer full of humanity, not the "right" answer in the face of monsters. It is precisely because in this process of thinking that the complexity of human nature is wrong, so what about the simplicity of human nature? Maybe in something simple. It's bound to show the commonality of people and monsters, I think. Because, on the battlefield where the person and the monster are present at the same time and can be observed by the other party at the same time, it can be tacitly assumed that the two sides are in the same system and the same living environment, and there is no commonality at all, and there should be no commonality.
Human thinking must start from the perspective of human nature. In other words, human nature determines how people think, determines the outline and scope of human thinking, it is a mold, how big it is, what it looks like, determines what kind of scope and what kind of trend people think. Suppose that people and monsters must be in a seeming misfit. There are certain commonalities that are not considered to be "complex" in terms of "complexity". Then, we can only imagine it from the perspective of "simplicity".
What Youjiang said before, "I can observe her and I can't be considered a human anymore, but I just think of myself as a human being, so I observe her as a person I think I am", in fact, I don't really care, in such a complex and magnificent adventure. In the race between life and death, in the endless darkness, madness, terror and despair, although I still keep thinking about whether I am a human or a monster, whether I am a normal person or a mental patient, I have always struggled to find a correct answer. But actually, I don't care much about the answer anymore, and I used to be desperate to find the answer, but in the process of thinking, I felt "life without answers".
In this world, there really is a life journey that "does not have a certain, definite, absolute answer". In this journey, you can see questions everywhere, when you try to answer, you will find that seemingly simple things are more complex and changeable than what you know, your knowledge is far from enough, your brain power is far from enough, your vision is far from enough, this kind of deficiency is objective, and you can never make up for it. So, everything that happens on your body, around you, is like a bunch of mysteries, a mess, although you hold a thread and think you can find the end of this line, you will find that this end point is located in a deep darkness that you can't reach no matter what, no matter what, you can't reach, and you seem to see its outline, but you can't be sure that that's what it really is.
What kind of emotions do you have when you feel that your life is like this? I think it's also a good choice not to pursue it. But what kind of mood would it be if you were unable to do it yourself, that is, if you were driven by an instinct, an emotion, an emotion, a reason, or something else that you thought was meaningful, or some reason that you thought you could not give up, and you had to pursue it, knowing that there would never be an absolutely sure and correct result that you wanted?
I knew the feeling, and I chose how to face it. People will say that the result is important, but don't forget the process, and in some cases, the process is also very important, and many famous sayings are born from it, but it is completely meaningless to know these statements, these philosophies, these sentences constructed from words. If you can't see it as a part of yourself, accept it and follow through on it, the meaning of all the words and phrases will not become the meaning that is truly beneficial to you.
In this seemingly short, but in fact extremely long, journey with no end in sight, what I have really learned and gained is those clichés.
Because there is no infallible result in my thinking, and it may be, but it will not appear in front of me, it is important to get used to and accept the "thought process" as the most important thing. Maybe I'm human, maybe I'm a monster, maybe I'm normal, but the world I live in doesn't fit me well, maybe I'm a mental patient, everything is my imagination, but all these are "conclusions that may be reached after thinking", not the results that have been put in front of me. Since my thinking is fruitless, these conclusions are not true. Since the truth will never come out to me, then it is just a mirror.
In contrast to the process, those that definitely produce results, and. The results that are about to produce or have already produced are clearly graspable.
So, when the monster Youjiang communicated with me for some reason and did all kinds of seemingly unbelievable behaviors, I saw it as the result. And look at these results with the simple eyes of "it may have something in common with monsters". So, I came to this judgment - all her actions, put on me, are "malicious".
There is no such thing as thinking about me, or using the mask of malice to cover up good intentions, but it is pure, simple, clear malice, and this malice is directed against me. But it's not that she's a wicked person, it's that this is her way of being, and these malices to me are just "going with the flow", "taking it for granted", "natural" and "natural" right behavior. Just as a "virus" can destroy the human body and make people sick, it is precisely because it causes this bad situation for people. Therefore, people use the word "virus" to describe it.
I think. Youjiang is one such thing. It's not good, it's not bad, but to me alone, it must be malicious.
Actions that are full of malice will not lead to good intentions. Youjiang's right hand is indeed full of power, and I have experienced it myself. It seems like I can control it and make it my own power, and if I trust my instincts, then I can just use it. Sensual. Intuitive, instinctive judgment has always been something I have relied on in the past, and I have never made a mistake, and I have always insisted that I am a perceptual creature. However, only this time, I made a decision that was contrary to intuition, to feelings, to sensibility, to instinct - something that was malicious would not bring good results, because it was important, because it was a simple, simple, rational logic, so it had to be repeated, and I rationally did not think that the right hand transplanted to me, as if it was so in line with "Jiang", that the right hand that made me feel "not too bad" really seemed to be such a good thing, and it was the key to victory.
In contrast, I have more complex reasons and complex emotions, and in those reasons and emotions, there is trust.
It is precisely because of that trust, that emotion, and those reasons that have allowed me to persist until now that I have used my right hand, which has nothing to do with how strong this right hand is, how compatible it is with "Jiang", and has nothing to do with my intuition, sensibility and instinct that it is the key to victory.
In this way, I am much more sober. The thoughts that were surging in my mind like a torrent rushed in a direction that was completely out of my control, but I still felt a lot fresher, because I remembered again, as if Sakuya and Hachikei, who had been silent for a long time in my thoughts, and remembered Dr. Nguyen Li, who seemed to have fought a long time ago and left the battlefield in his own way.
Yes, Dr. Nguyen Lê.
The reason why I chose this right hand as the breakthrough point of victory is not because of the right hand itself, not because of the relationship between "Jiang" and Right Jiang, but precisely because I believe in Dr. Nguyen Lê and believe that her battle is not over. Just as she did her best to heal me every time I was sick, just as she fought in her own way in the face of the apocalypse. On this occasion, before the truly decisive outcome comes, at a time when I am faced with a life-or-death situation, she will surely exist somewhere, nay, I should say, in her own unique way, manifesting her existence - whether she is dead or not.
I trust Dr. Nguyen Li so much that it doesn't matter if the transplant of my right hand is purely malicious in my judgment, and on the other hand, because it is malicious, it will not bring good results, which is the trigger for Dr. Nguyen Li's "appearance".
I was like a moth to a fire, jumping into it knowing that it was a trap, but it was the most decisive and rational action I felt. I have no doubt that on this inevitable collision of straight tracks, I am on the right hand towards Youjiang, who is approaching sharply.
In the observations of others, how fast did I collide with Youjiang? A thousandth of a second? A ten-thousandth of a second? One hundredthousandth of a second? In my eyes, even if I am in a state of rapid sweeping, I can no longer observe Youjiang's movements as slow as before. Because, in my own observation, my movements are also in a slow speed similar to Youjiang - as if I have an eye that can be observed from a third-party angle, and I can clearly see the last moment of the collision between myself and Youjiang, and the series of behaviors.
Youjiang's left hand and my right hand slid towards each other in the same trajectory, and although I was quicker to get up the line, I still couldn't hit her body before she could raise her hand. My right hand was straight, and her left hand was still bent at the elbow, at an angle where the anatomy of the body could not be fully exerted. However, Youjiang does not depend on his own human form, and under the appearance of this human form, there may be no normal human body mechanism. So, when she actually grabbed my fist, I didn't feel at all that I could go any further.
As a result, the fourth-level magic pattern was created, and the sharp blades placed on the hand armor bounced up one after another, shooting straight away at this extremely close distance. You Jiang didn't resist, or rather, there was no need to resist, these curved or straight blades pierced her body in a moment, and even slashed her head, and embedded it on it.
Youjiang didn't die, but she didn't resist, which also meant that there was something more important to her - this humanoid shape that was inserted into her whole body by the blade distorted in my field of vision, and turned into another seemingly humanoid form, but obviously not human, I can't describe what it looked like, although I saw it, but words are difficult to describe, in short, the outline will never be mistaken for a human. Its whole body is so dark, not flesh and blood, not other matter, but the darkness itself, a phenomenon in which some force is observed, it seems to be the most mysterious, the most intoxicating, and the incomprehensible existence of the unknown body, that is, the "mystery" itself, even so, it is only incomprehensible, unclear, not illusory.
The blade stuck in its body was swallowed by its body before a new round of shooting began. (To be continued.) )
