Takakawa knows that it is difficult for him to convince a female officer, she has a decisive will, a strong executive ability, and a self-enriching outlook on life and beliefs. The thoughts and actions she showed did not seem to be the result of being instilled by anyone, but the rules that she thought "should be like this" that she had distilled through her own life and knowledge. She doesn't mind listening to other people's opinions and ideas, but, to a certain extent, she strictly separates "listening" from "receiving". She will gently admit that she will "consider and consider", and Gao Chuan even feels that her so-called "consideration" is definitely not lip service, but has been carefully considered, but her thinking mode can finally come to the conclusion that she still "insists on her own thoughts and actions".

It is even possible that a female officer will not think that other people's thoughts are wrong against her, but she will not think that she is wrong because "that is not wrong". She will think dialectically, and then, dialectically, admit that she is "not completely without merit, nor completely wrong", and then, if she has enough time, she will adjust what she thinks is "wrong" one by one, and if she does not have enough time, she will stick to her own thinking principles.

If there had been no mysterious incident, the situation would not have been so critical, and Takakawa felt that he would have regarded the meek vase-like appearance at the beginning as the true face of a female officer. On the other hand, it is precisely because of the sudden attack of the enemy, and the sudden turn of the situation, that everyone must show their most serious state, so the words of the female officer, the actions she makes, and the character and thoughts that she embodies at such a time are the most true.

Female officers are not docile at all. It's not a vase at all, and her sharpness and hardness are very rare among the mysterious experts that Takakawa knows.

The flames in the eyes of the female officer seemed to burn more and more fiercely as the sacrifice ceremony progressed, the battlefield environment deteriorated, and even the critical steps approached.

"Death is terrible." She stared at Takagawa and said, "But." Everyone who gets on the boat should have been enlightened long ago. On this death route, there is a 99 percent chance that everyone will die. Only you, Mr. Takakawa, must live to the end. No one but you, including me, is one who has to survive - to die, if anyone is unwilling to do so, if someone has difficulty accepting the fact that this is true. Then I have to make them understand this. Fortunately, most people now understand this, and those who need to be educated should only be a small number of people, I think, some of them should also understand. ”

"I don't agree with you." Takakawa said very clearly: "Although I also think that there are very few people who can survive in the end on this boat. And everyone who boarded this boat should be prepared to face this mortality. But I don't think so. It is the right thing to do to put this mortality rate at the heart of all actions. At the end of the day, odds are just a game of numbers, and other people's efforts and deaths should not be taken for granted, let alone a trap that will cost the lives of the deliberate majority based on this taken for granted. If most of the people on this ship will die, then it is the enemy who will kill them. And it shouldn't be a trap for your own people. ”

"And then? With all due respect, Mr. Takakawa, your statement is full of the brilliance of human morality, but it does not correspond to the current situation. The female officer said: "Facing the crisis of the world. In fact, we are not so comfortable with the crisis of humanity, and we can fight the enemy while emphasizing individual will and freedom. In peacetime, any collective action can be compromised by human thinking and norms, but in times of war, everyone must be prepared to sacrifice and be sacrificed. ”

"What you do does not give them the right to choose self-sacrifice." Gao Chuan said solemnly: "You and I both know that last time or this time, they didn't make their own choices once, but you made the choice on their behalf." ”

"Because, they just need to be ready, they don't need to have the power to make choices." The female officer also stared at Gao Chuan with the same sharp and serious gaze: "Listen, Mr. Gao Chuan, in fact, you don't have the right to choose. When you step aboard this ship, you have only one option: make it to Australia alive and let humanity emerge victorious in this damn war and let the apocalypse roll as far as you can. Others have only one option: to use death as a bargaining chip, and the only bargaining chip, to advance the plan. Everyone, including me, had to put their lives on the line, and no one was exempt. You know? The female officer said word for word: "No one can make an exception except you." ”

"Are you trying to say that I'm special?" Gao Chuan asked rhetorically.

"No, quite the opposite. You are not alive because you are more noble and important than others, but simply because you are in a different division of labor from those of us in the plan. Therefore, you do not need to be upset that other people's free will and right to choose cannot be asserted, because when your division of labor requires you to die, you will have no escape, and you will have no choice. I think if you are surprised and unprepared, then be prepared from now on, whether you live or die, you are equal to everyone else - there is no injustice because of the chronological order, and there is no injustice because of whether you end up living or dying. The female officer smiled, but that smile was full of something penetrating, and Takakawa felt that what she was looking at was not her current self, but her future self.

"It's like now, everyone will be sacrificed, but it's not completely out of the blue." The female officer said to Takakawa: "Mr. Takakawa, I tell you clearly, in your life, at some point in the future, you will face such a chance - the difference between you and us is that we must face this chance now, and you will be late, but only later. ”

The female officer's statement made Gao Chuan feel a little awkward and weird, as if she was hinting at something, and it made Gao Chuan feel that this hint was related to some of the things he had decided - did she foresee something? Gao Chuan couldn't help but think. A possibility looms out of Takakawa's mind.

"You're a prophet?" When Takakawa put forward this hypothesis, he was not even convinced. Strictly speaking, in the past. It is true that there have been cases where prophets possess mystical powers other than "prophecy", but they are often exceptions that arise under very special circumstances, even in the midst of multiple doomsday visions.

Prophets are ordinary people except for prophecy - this is common knowledge in the occult world.

The female officer quietly looked at Gao Chuan for a few seconds. Undisguised, he replied, "Yes, I am a prophet." I am a prophet, a consciousness walker, and other mysteries - the rarest compound mystical expert in the world. I can see the fate line of each one. Saying this, she gently leaned into Takakawa's ear and said as if biting his ear, "Especially for people who are close to my skin." No matter how deep and complex his fate line is, it will also be revealed to a certain extent after the exchange of bodily fluids is completed. I know your future. Your fate, knowing the little secret between you and another teenager, Takakawa. When everyone is speculating about your relationship, they haven't thought that the current you and that he are actually incomplete, and only when you are one is the real Gao Chuan. And you will be one. ”

Takakawa finally came to his senses. Why do you feel that female officers give themselves an awkward and weird feeling? I also have a clearer understanding of her previous words and behaviors. The woman in front of her is not based on the numbers game of "chance". In her eyes, there is no "chance" of taking those tough actions, but only "necessity", because the prophecy of the prophet will definitely happen. It's the same perception that "I don't think there will be many people on this big ship who will survive". There is a fundamental difference between Takakawa and a female officer.

For Takakawa, this is a probabilistic speculation, but it is variable. Even if the possibility of change is so small that it is almost negligible. Moreover, both sacrifice and death should be the result of self-selection, and emotionally, it is more inclined to be death caused by the hands of the enemy.

However, for female officers, this is the future that has been predicted, and it is the ending that has already been decided, so all the sacrifices and deaths become taken for granted. In her eyes, people's seemingly self-choices are not the result of their own choices, but the result of being determined by fate. In a given destiny, everyone is equal, whether they die or live. Because, it is not people's choices that determine their own survival or death, but fate, when they will inevitably live and when they will die, and there is no difference between being sacrificed and self-sacrificing, because it is not something that is decided by others, nor is it something that is decided by oneself, it is not that subjective will is dominant, but the manifestation of objective facts.

Takakawa has always been clear that the future in the eyes of the prophet and the future in the eyes of others are presented in different ways, and for the prophet, the "future" is already the "present" in a sense. But even so, just like Mayne Prophet clearly predicted the end of the world, but formed a cyberball to fight against the fate of the apocalypse, she is still willing to try and reverse some things that are destined.

Therefore, the female officer said: "We should, it is necessary, and we must exert our own subjective initiative to make our due contribution to this great war that will determine the fate of mankind, and only when we have done this can we say at the time of death that I have devoted my whole life and all my energy to the most precious cause of my life -- the struggle for the survival of mankind." "That's the case.

When she said this, the gaze that was like a flame burning, and the hardness, stubbornness, and determination embodied were actually a kind of desperate, hysterical struggle. She armed herself with her will to face an enemy that was both Shinrikyo and the Nazis, but rather, a doomed fate. She wants this battlefield to burn, and forcibly uses everyone's will and life as bargaining chips to try to pry something.

Takakawa understood.

The plan on the shoulders of this new Titanic is indeed not required to be done in advance, as long as it successfully reaches Australia, no matter how many people survive or how many enemies are contained during the period, it can be regarded as a successful plan.

However, for female officers, this is an opportunity.

"An opportunity to try to change something within the scope of the plan." Gao Chuan whispered to himself, his expression calmed down, "I don't know, what exactly do you want to change?" ”

"I don't know." The female officer smiled, and that smile was full of hunting hideousness, "But I know that in the face of fate, if you have to give a little, if you don't give more, nothing can be changed." What I did and what changed can only be determined after the fact, but maybe I won't live to that time. If I die, the reference will also be observable, and no one will know what will change in the end. ”

Takakawa was silent. He couldn't help but think that if he were an ordinary person, he would definitely regard this female officer as a madman, but to a certain extent, he felt that he could actually understand her.

Although there is no clear goal, there is no clear outline, but there will be some people, like her, who feel that they have to do something at some point, and they can pay a huge price in order to do this, but before they do it, they are not very clear about what kind of result they want, and they are not sure whether they will succeed. However, I still did it, although the beginning and the end were hazy and unpredictable, but I still went through the process step by step, and tried to lift the veil that I didn't know very well and couldn't tell on the way to the process.

What female officers are doing is something similar. Her explanations are sincere, her determination is genuine, she believes that she is sincere, she decides that she is sincere, but there are some things that even she is not quite sure about. She just believed that she had to do it. It doesn't matter how many reasons you find, no matter how much you distinguish between what you look like, no matter what you look like in the eyes of others, because since you have decided what to do, you will definitely have a reason, a determination, and an awareness.

And just that, she still has the ability to do it. (To be continued.) )
