Chapter 16 The Meaning of Existence

Burying himself in his study like a bedbug, Fan Li talked to him for three hours, telling him everything that had just happened, until his mouth was dry, and Brad offered the good tea he had treasured for many years.

When Brad went to visit Jiao Yang, Fan looked up at Brad's study, he picked up a book on game theory, and found that it was densely packed with many small characters. It seems that this Brad's usual hobby is reading, and he is the kind of person who likes to work hard and not seek fame. During the three-hour conversation with him, Fan also learned that Brad was the first member of the old knights to leave the "Ant Nest", and the purpose of his departure was simply not to see the wounded again. As a doctor who does not seek fame and fortune, he can't stand the huge number of wounded people in the "ant nest" every day. Especially after the old knights entered the leadership class one after another, before the new knights like Xie Ling and Wu Meiyan entered the battlefield. Before leaving, he spent a year teaching his medical skills to the brilliant Justin, who later developed his theories and invented some novel treatments.

Fan Li needs someone to guide him patiently, he has always felt that he is a lamb waiting to be fed, grandpa, Ye Yuning, Pan Mingyue, Qin Ziyang and Ni Ziqiong are all his teachers, but Brad is completely different from them.

"In fact, before Ye Yuning joined the organization, there was also a weapon master, which was Shak. Grace. Brad came back from the hospital room and sat down in front of Fan. took a sip of bamboo leaves. "You may be surprised that Ye Yuning can produce such feats, is it not the same as Shaq. Gray's way of teaching is related. In fact, it is a complete coincidence that the master and apprentice met together. Although I don't work at the 'Ant Nest', Shaq. Gray often asked me questions, and I learned that Shaq. Gray still retains a trace of rejection towards Ye Yuning. Because he knows very well that the consequences of such a crazy invention may bring bad luck to the development of the 'ant nest' in the future. After all, Ye Yuning at that time was young and vigorous, full of inspiration and passion. ”

"Although Ye Yuning is a playful girl. He likes to ignore the regime and joke unscrupulously in front of the top, but he can become conformist in an instant. Or become a dull and stubborn person. Truth be told, Shaq. Gray doesn't like Ye Yuning, compared to Qin Ziyang and Martha, Ye Yuning in his eyes is full of loopholes. Not suitable to be an agent of the 'Ant Nest'. But he still did not refuse Lan Pa's request, and even offered to become Ye Yuning's teacher. ”

"Could it be that he later discovered Ye Yuning's shining point?" Fan Lixi was curious about Shaq. Gray's contradictory choice.

"Because Shaq. Gray is a gambler by nature, and before he became an agent, he was a ranger-like figure. He felt that no one in the 'ant nest' could control Ye Yuning, and instead of making her trash, it was better to take a gamble and see how fate should choose. I didn't expect him to be right, Ye Yuning, who had been trained. Even better than Qin Ziyang and Ni Ziqiong, you have also seen Ye Yuning hit the 'ant nest' more than once. These are not just coincidences. ”

"But sometimes, I think Yu Ning is a very cruel person, such as to the youth in the lost city, such as the defenders of the 'ant nest', she seems to be very impulsive, and if she is impulsive, she will cause massacre."

"Don't forget that Ye Yuning is an out-and-out 'master of disguise'." Brad squinted and smiled. "Shaq. Gray once made a report, saying that Ye Yuning has become mature in a year of outdoor training, she understands the preciousness of life better than others on the dark battlefield, such a person will inevitably have a period of rejection after entering the organization immediately, and needs the guidance of a psychiatrist, and Ye Yuning is very lucky, her psychiatrist is Qin Ziyang, Qin Ziyang did not guide her to become an excellent soldier, but taught her to dare to find the purpose of life, dare not be afraid of the strict high-level of the 'ant nest' to resist. Ye Yuning was like a baby, she immediately absorbed Qin Ziyang's essence, and thus became a fighter who dared to openly oppose Lan Pa, which also brought her death, but at the same time, she exposed the dark side of the 'ant nest', so that Lan Pa had to have a showdown with investors in advance. ”

"I don't understand, teacher, did Yu Ning plan all this, or did she hit it right by mistake?"

"It's a complicated issue. Do you know the neutral mutation theory? ”

Fan Li shook his head.

"Shisei Kimura proposed the stochastic drift hypothesis that at the molecular level, most evolutionary evolution and most variation within species is not caused by natural selection, but by genetic drift of mutant alleles that are neutral or nearly neutral to selection. This is different from Darwin's theory of natural selection, but at the molecular level. Ye Yuning is a very peculiar person, if she uses her wisdom to cooperate with Qin Ziyang or Lan Pa's ambition, she will definitely become a historical figure, but she doesn't have so many ambitions, and the bloody storm she set off was completely random. It could be that she overheard Shaq. Gray's sigh may have been her impulse, in short, she didn't have any plan, but she inadvertently saved the 'Ant Nest'. ”

"Save?" Although Fan Li couldn't understand the theory in it, he was surprised by the latter sentence. Where is salvation? In his impression, the brilliance of the old knight created the "ant nest", and Lan Pa's insight also created the "ant nest", if it weren't for Ye Yuning's fuse, there might be room for negotiation between Lan Pa and Qin Ziyang, and it would not be broken as it is today, let alone bury so many outstanding warriors.

Seeing Fan Li's surprise, Brad smiled again, there was no ridicule in his smile, only the teacher's tolerance towards the same as a student, maybe subconsciously, he had already regarded Fan Li as his own student.

"Then I want to ask how smart Ye Yuning is in your heart?" Brad asked rhetorically.

"Hmm...... Using magic energy to create a plastic surgery machine counts as one, designing to snatch the 'depriver' and copying it counts as one, using the spiritual realm to create an army of female policemen counts as one, and converting the 'ant nest' soldiers to one when saving Qin Ziyang, she is really smart. Oh, and her quirky inventions, which might be something you don't think is good. But I think it's a sign of her intelligence, after all, she only has three months. ”

"Haha, that's right, you're bold, but not arrogant. You're right, you're right, Ye Yuning deceived you with emotion. With a group of inexperienced female babies who are also inferior in numbers, they defeated the elite of the 'ant nest'. I learned that she had devised this plan after she was rescued by Ni Ziqiong. After a year of design, she memorized the layout of the entire base of the 'Ant Nest', so that the 'Dispossession' instantly abolished the defensive deployment of the 'Ant Nest', such a prescient person. Don't you know that Qin Ziyang has already been released by Lanpa? ”

"What? Do you mean ......" At this time, Fan Li's eyes were already wide. Looking at Brad nodding frequently, he was a hundred sures in his heart. Ye Yuning's madness of wanting to blow up the "Ant Nest" base couldn't help but appear in front of her, as if at that moment, her target was not Qin Ziyang, but the "Ant Nest" itself.

"I think you've got it, but I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Fan Li stared at Brad, he unhurriedly picked up the tea in his hand, and he suddenly noticed. Brad has said so much, the tea is gone. And I didn't drink a single sip of it.

"I want to ...... Further, Yu Ning had calculated everything, she wanted to attack the 'ant nest' under the guise of Qin Ziyang, so she would rather not know about Qin Ziyang's disappearance. She didn't seek Xie Ling and Wu Meiyan's help at the beginning, because she was afraid that they would destroy this original intention, but later she found out that Xie Ling and Wu Meiyan had no intersection with the 'ant nest' at all, and the suddenly resurrected Pan Mingyue and her life-saving benefactor Ni Ziqiong had already seen their purpose, but they coincided with her own acting, so she was relieved and boldly summoned them. Because of Xie Ling and Wu Meiyan, she has a good chance of success, but in this case, why did she listen to my persuasion and give up blowing up the 'ant nest'? ”

"Then you must know why Yu Ning chose to blow up the 'ant nest'. You never knew how Yu Ning lived twenty years ago, and you didn't know that the 'ant nest' was a rebirth of her parents, and it took a lot of courage to kill her parents, and it also required an endless disappointment, and such disappointment did not come from a very evil enemy. ”

"You mean...... Qin Ziyang? ”

"That's right. Qin Ziyang is the source of Ye Yuning's outbreak, so it is not so much that Ye Yuning is the fuse of Qin Ziyang's revolution, but that Qin Ziyang is the fuse of Ye Yuning's war. Her disappointment in Qin Ziyang came from her admiration for Qin Ziyang and her hatred for Lanpa, she wanted to make Qin Ziyang awaken by sacrificing all this, and then she did it, and she didn't make a real sacrifice. ”

"Then she chose to quit, and left the rest to Qin Ziyang?"

"That's right, I said before, Ye Yuning doesn't have much ambition, all she wants is to let Qin Ziyang return to her former path, she needs to make Qin Ziyang ignite her fighting spirit, she feels that her mission is this, which comes from her inferiority complex."

"So when she saw that Qin Ziyang did not resist but chose to withdraw, she thought of destruction, because she felt that only Qin Ziyang was the key to the rise of the 'ant nest', whether it was war or negotiation, she had to explain her point of view to Lan Pa, but when all this hope was in vain, Ye Yuning was completely disappointed, and she wanted to destroy the 'ant nest' in a fit of anger."

"You're half right. Ye Yuning was indeed disappointed, but not because of impulse, when she saw that Qin Ziyang and Lan Pa had gone astray, Sha Ke. When Gray and Justin opt out, she discovers that the only way to save humanity is to destroy the Ant Nest. Rather than handing over the 'ant nest' to some unclear investors, it is better to destroy it. However, later, she saw the renewed hope, so she gave up the purpose of destroying the 'ant nest' and chose to live in seclusion. ”

"What did she see? Could it be that she guessed Qin Ziyang's underground castle under the Tengger Desert? ”

Brad shook his head.

"How can there be such a smart person, she has always been on the matter, don't forget, who is the person who stopped her from destroying the 'ant nest'?"

"Me? No, didn't you say she already knew all about it? ”

"I never said she could foresee everything. As I said, you are like a thread that implicates these sinful geniuses together. You were the one who gave her hope, and now, do you understand what the Regents really mean? (To be continued......)
