441 Shadows
Snook stared at Shirakawa, not understanding where the playfulness in the other man's gaze came from.
He didn't know the plot, and certainly didn't know that this meaning came from the ending of Snook in the canon that Shirakawa knew.
As a user of the dark side of the Force, this little guy is indeed smart, powerful, and capable, quietly in the weak moment, successfully survived several generations of Sith Maharajas, sat back and watched the Jedi Order and the Sith Maharaja die together, and at the most opportune moment, he made up for the fatal sword of the Jedi Order that was being rebuilt in the hands of Luke Skywalker, established the First Order, inherited the achievements of the Sith Maharajas as a new monarch, and completed the inheritance of the dark side of the Force.
Of course, like Darth Sidious, the Emperor of Palpathine, Snook was arrogant and arrogant, believing that he could control everything, and was finally killed by his own apprentice when he tried to brainwash the Jedi.
The familiar plot, the perfect Palpatine remake, the standard Star Wars-style dark lord ending.
Bai He didn't want to complain about the pursuit of power and power, but he felt a little lo, he decided to use his clever tongue to distort Snook's three views when he was young and short-sighted: "I don't mention what the consequences of your sinking will be, according to the history of the Sith, the results of sinking are not very good, what I want to ask is that if you can stay sober and sane forever, to that point, will the so-called power still have any attraction to you?"
Snook was dumbfounded, feeling unable to answer the question.
He is a smart man, and he is not a person who indulges in pleasure (much stronger than Baihe), so it is not difficult to imagine that at that point, he has obtained the power of his hands...... It seems to be a tool.
Is it necessary to be so crazy about a tool? and crazy and fanatical...... It seems to be a dangerous thing in itself, even for the Sith.
He pondered a little sluggishly, and his face gradually became solemn and serious.
He looked up at Shirakawa and seemed to understand, "Mr. Vader, what is your goal?"
"My purpose?" Shirakawa gave Snook a strange look, then laughed, "What do you think my purpose is? power? I seek power just to get better power." Power: Power is always a means, not an end:
I pursue the giant claws of the stars, not to show off my might, but to tear through the haze that hides the secrets of the stars;
I pursued the giant body of the whale swallowing nebula, not for arrogance, but for the sake of looking at the Milky Way.
I pursue immortal thinking, not to linger, but to meet the end and reincarnation with all things.
I pursue the wings of chasing starlight, not to shade the light and block the clouds, but to cross the universe. If I have eyes that are beyond the darkness, I will be able to see the scene beyond the shore, and let me know the root of my fate and fortune.
This little bit of power is nothing to be said of my desires, and when I spread my wings, they are all small and weak!"
Snook's eyes widened, the corners of his mouth were dry, and the white hair in front of him sat there in a not very serious posture, looking not very powerful, but in Snook's eyes, it seemed that those red eyes were burning.
He went deep into it, saw the pair of beast-like erected pupils, the hallucination penetrated into his mind, and the person in front of him gradually turned into a terrifying beast in his eyes, and the deafening roar also thundered in Snook's mind.
He felt so small that he touched the floor and realized that he didn't know when he was sitting on the ground.
......
"Sorry, a little excited. Baihe dragged Snook up and poured him a glass of water: "...... I'm not trying to make comparisons, but what I really want to say is that authoritarianism will be opposed by the majority of the common people, especially those who have reached the level of the planetary system and have basically perfected the consciousness of civilization, and the implementation of a dictatorship will encounter great resistance, and the implementation of liberalism, we will face only a very small number of intelligent people, and this is the power of populism. ”
“...... Goo. Snook slowed down, took a sip of water, and felt that his upper and lower legs seemed to be weak, although he didn't look in the mirror, he also imagined that his face must be very pale, he calmed down, and reluctantly continued to discuss:" Sometimes this few smart people are more difficult to deal with, and the people at the bottom go with the flow and suffer from all kinds of power oppression, from another point of view, this is the breeding ground for autocracy, because the oppressed people are not necessarily against power, they are more often in favor of better rule at the expense of something, in short, in reality this is a worse game......
Of course, it's you who make the decision. But I still want to make my opinion clear – I don't dispute that you say that autocracy will be met with widespread opposition, but the ultra-liberalism you are promoting...... IMHO, the violent destruction it produces within civilization, which over time produces more blood, eventually ...... General opposition is inevitable. ”
"That's what it is, but the means are just the means, and my purpose is to change the missionary strategy of the dark side of the Force. "You and I both know that the dark side of the Force draws strength from passion and pursues powerful explosive power, and this is true of the Sith's swordsmanship, as well as our broken heritage. In the past, the focus of the Sith mission was on the desire for power, but there is a problem with this, they are all people who chase power, and we will not consider the problems of this policy for the time being, let's make a comparison - you see my missionary policy, the propaganda focuses on passion, revenge and indulgence, these three emotions can also bring out the dark side of the Force, you don't object. ”
Snook nodded, seriously considering Baihe's claim.
The use of power to proselytize is the result of almost every Darkside cult in the galaxy following suit, and if anyone questioned this policy before today, Snook would definitely scoff at it and give him a sword.
Now he is seriously analyzing and comparing, keeping up with Baihe's train of thought.
"First of all, these three emotions are less negative in the minds of the public than the struggle for power. Bai He said: "Especially in a less civilized civilization near us, the social atmosphere does not think that revenge is a bad act, and it will be contemptuous of indulgence but only contemptible, and it will applaud those who pursue the passion of freedom, you see, very hidden, right?"
"You have to make the dogma look ...... Less aggressive, and then absorb more followers?" Snook shook his head again, "But the person with abundant these emotions should be...... Rebels in society. ”
Bai He nodded: "That's right, but which do you think the general public will prefer more than an ambitious and power-hungry guy?"
"I don't like any of them. Snook did not hesitate, thought for a moment and said: "The elite will appreciate careerists, but the people at the bottom will probably sympathize with the rebels." ”
"Yes, that's the key, you should know that at this time when civilization consciousness is in the planetary system, the level of trust in the government is extremely low. The results of this missionary approach are definitely much more reliable than the original one, and the important thing is that it is extremely hidden. ”
"And then we can choose among these people who will work for us?"
"No, the point is that we want to make this creed a cultural ethos. Bai He smiled maliciously, "We have to find a way to make our territory full of people who believe in our creed, and they will fight for our sect at any time if they need to." ”
Snook nodded, and finally accepted Baihe's statement, but he was still a little worried: "It's just, it's like this...... These planets will surely ...... gradually Becoming a place of war and violent conflict is an inevitable drawback of pan-liberalism, and we, as propagators of the dark side of the Force, will have the effect of fueling the flames, and we need to regulate it appropriately. ”
"What is the regulation? Just let those who believe in us not die. Bai He smiled even more grimly, and handed a memory chip to Snook: "If you believe in us and you will have eternal life, more people will believe in us, won't they?"
"This is ......" Browsing the chip on the terminal, Snook was surprised: "This technology...... It's incredibly that the human brain transmits information to the machine, and he ...... Does he really exist......? The dark side of the Great Force! ”
"This technology in this world is just layer window paper. "Bai Hadao, able to produce C3PO, an AI with an almost normal IQ, and a cyborg like General Griffith, transfer carriers and process technologies exist, and it is indeed not far from this technology, at least the inferior version is easy to develop - Bai He has not yet restored the full version, and the information of the living person is transferred to the AI carrier through the converter he researched, and the loss rate will probably be higher than the full version, but it is better than death.
"Well, have you ever tried to be a god who controls the life and death of others, which is much better than being a president or emperor or something. ”
Snook looked at the chip repeatedly, and did not continue to ask the question of authenticity, but looked at Bai He: "I have listened to your great wishes, I don't know what your short-term goal is when you master the church?"
"Of course, it's the ...... that rules all the world" Bai He turned the empty water glass and paused: "The Force." ”
He stood up and walked to the door: "I may need a large number of comrades for this, well, it is acceptable to have evil intentions, and it is okay to kill me if you want to." ”
Bang.
The door closed softly, and Snook felt the cold sweat on his forehead, his eyes fixed on his right hand, his body trembling incessantly from just now to now.
