Chapter 293: Storm Ten
Zi said: How to repay virtue? Repay grievances with directness, and repay virtue with virtue.
And in Western philosophy, there is also an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
The development process of human society is not a process of repeating "zero-sum" between good and evil, but a process of "good and evil disappearing".
Chen An has emphasized more than once the principle of life that no one will offend me and I will not offend others, but his relatively passive attitude has been misunderstood as weakness in the eyes of some people, and as a result, blind forbearance will inevitably lead to the other party's gain of an inch, thus creating a situation that no one wants to see today.
Once upon a time, he would risk the lives of others for his own selfishness, and detonate a nuclear bomb in the most prosperous big city.
As a result, he was tormented by human conscience, and his spirit was close to collapse, and he almost went crazy.
At that time, he could avoid comforting himself, it was not my fault, it was all the subtle hypnosis of "it" in his mind.
Is he really not wrong? Can everything be blamed on "it"?
After reawakening from the deep subconscious of the original owner Chen Ping, Chen An has been thinking and reflecting in a long period of loneliness, from childhood to adulthood, especially after encountering "it" after a series of experiences of shuttling through the world, looking back on his mental journey is like a K-line chart in the stock market futures market that suddenly fluctuates violently, all the time in the change of emotions, until the successful escape from "it" tends to stabilize the situation.
He was free, and so were the problems.
If he had to do it all over again, what kind of life would he choose?
Perhaps he was alerted by the lessons of the previous car, his thinking and mentality have changed, and clinker fate once again played a joke with him, no matter what kind of person you become, there will be countless new troubles in life.
Happy, troublesome, sad, hateful.
As long as people live, they have troubles.
"You are here, please be seated. ”
Out of the host's courtesy, Chen An brewed a pot of hot tea, poured seven points of tea and handed it to Jiang Chou and the three who had just arrived from the sky.
"Is there coffee?" Virginia was the most open-minded of the three, he stepped forward, pulled out the chair and sat down generously, picked up the teacup handed over and took a sip of tea, and then asked Chen An with a smile. "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Virginia, a bad old man who is not worth mentioning. ”
"I've heard of your great name in the inner world, so you don't have to be overly modest. Chen An took out a coffee cup out of thin air and smiled. "I only have instant coffee at home, does it suit your taste?"
"I don't mind the taste. Virginia said casually. "I just love the taste of coffee. ”
"I'll help you club. Su Yingsleeve, who was standing beside her, hurriedly said.
"Then I'm sorry for you, little girl. Without waiting for Chen An to speak, Virginia smiled first.
Since the guest said so, Chen An directly handed over the coffee cup and the newly taken out bag of coffee to Su Yingsleeve, and a burning honeycomb coal stove was placed near the corner, and the kettle was slowly burning on it, making it very convenient to make tea and coffee.
"Chen Ping, you must also know our intentions, let's get straight to the point. ”
Jiang Chou sat precariously and stared at Chen Andao.
"How exactly can you change your decision?"
"Are you scared now?" Chen An said casually as he held the teacup and blew lightly. "But don't you think it's too late?"
"Chen Ping, we must admit that the way we treat you may be rough, but please be lenient and understanding, after all, your existence makes none of us feel at ease, and we have to take relatively radical actions, in fact, we are only out of self-protection, and we have no ill will towards you. Andrew said in a deep voice.
"What's going on with the International Club?" Chen An asked as he took a sip of the hot tea in his cup.
"The initiators are behind the scenes of the island chaebols, who quickly weaved a plot to blame you after their failure to win you over, intending to provoke a conflict between you and our Eagle Country, if you are not fooled, they will immediately expose your identity to stir up the situation, and fanned the flames behind your back to provoke you again, when we realized their plan and decided to push the boat to try to force you to compromise through this matter, but the direction of the clinker is out of our control...... Andrew explained slowly. "Chen Ping, I admit that we are at fault in dealing with you, but we are not the ones who really provoked this incident, if you really decide to end the psionic era ahead of schedule, doesn't it mean that you are playing into their hands?
"And then?" Chen An picked up the small teapot and filled his teacup.
"As a sign of our sincerity in this mistake, we will remove all bad influences about you, get your life back on track as much as possible, and we will help you eliminate the masterminds behind this matter, and we promise that we will never disturb your life again, and that all countries will send the best scientific scholars to guide your academic research, and if we disturb you again, we will not complain even if you are determined to destroy the world. Andrew said in a sincere and solemn tone.
"What do you think, old man?" Chen An didn't answer, but turned the conversation to Virginia, who was drinking coffee by himself.
"I? I don't have a problem. Virginia smiled as he ignored Andrew's wink. "Besides, don't you already have the answer in your mind? In fact, I would like to talk to you about each other's psionic research. ”
Andrew subconsciously closed his eyes, this was the first time he felt what a serious mistake it was to bring Virginia.
"Chen Ping, if you are still not satisfied, you can put forward other suggestions, as long as we can do it, we will definitely be able to satisfy you. Jiang Chou saw that the opportunity was not good, and directly turned back to the topic.
"Sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't have exposed myself if there was no psychic power in this world, and wouldn't my life be disturbed by all this mess?" Chen An said, still diverting the subject. "Actually, I always thought that the appearance of psionic energy belonged to the characteristics of your civilization, but more than 10,000 years have passed, and I have seen that instead of becoming a characteristic of your civilization, psionic energy has become a parasite of your civilization to some extent. Except for using psionic energy to divide territory and occupy mountains as kings, and stepping on the heads of ordinary people to enjoy the privileges that psionic energy brings, it seems that you can no longer see what benefits you have brought to civilization. ”
"There is no fairness in life and in the world, even if there is no spiritual power, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. Andrew was silent for a moment. "And we are born with spiritual powers, so should we be blamed for the original sin of unfairness in life and the world?"
"There is nothing wrong with psionic powers, but those who are at fault are those who abuse psionic powers. Jiang said crumblingly. "Chen Ping, you have seen our database, there are a lot of psionic offender files, one of which is a case, the prisoner Zhu was originally a young man with an unsatisfactory life, belonging to the three nos with no education, no background and no specialty, every day doing low-income jobs with meager salaries, and his perverse and withdrawn personality makes him even have few friends, for which he often anonymously publishes cynical remarks on the Internet as a channel for venting, he once confessed that he hates the unfairness of life and the world, why he whispers every day and works hard all day but gets a meager salary, while some people drive luxury cars with beautiful women, spend all day long without doing business, drink and be chic and happy!...... Because of the atavism caused by an electric shock, he gained psionic power, and I don't think I need to say more about what he did. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with psionic energy, in addition to the people who abuse psionic energy to do misdeeds, there are also those of us who maintain order, once the people who abuse psionic energy are not restrained and controlled, I am afraid that human civilization will not come to this point. ”
"But you've been confusing the concept from beginning to end. Chen An shook his head and said. "No amount of whitewashing you may disguise your prerogatives can be concealed by the Psionic Powers. If from the very beginning your civilization has been closely integrated with the psionic energy, and has evolved a different path of civilization for this purpose, and I will not point fingers at you at all, but you cling to the spiritual energy and stubbornly believe that it is a gift from the heavens, not from the people of the world, then is there still a need for the spiritual energy to exist?"
"It's your idea, it doesn't mean that the whole world will agree with you. Andrew couldn't help but say. "What's more, you are not from our world, and you are not qualified to interfere in our world!"
"You're right. Chen An looked at Andrew with an indifferent expression. "The problem is that you are also not qualified to represent the people of the world. ”
"Chen Ping, do you have to provoke a war between us?" Andrew said with a deep breath. "That way, you won't have a place in our world!"
"War? No, you're wrong. Chen An said calmly. "This is not a war, this is a one-sided sanction. ”
"Chen Ping, please think about it again. Jiang Chou, who had been unable to interject, said miserably. "If they know that you stick to your opinion, they will stop you at all costs, and the whole world may be ruined because of your decision!"
"Without psionic energy, are you sure you still have the ability to threaten me?" Chen An said with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
"Don't forget, even without psionic powers, we still have the power of the state to back us up! I don't think the country wants people like you to exist in the world!" Andrew said stubbornly.
"Really?" Chen An said indifferently. "Then tell your country that I don't mind helping them get a new leadership. ”
"We, the people of the Eagle Country, will never succumb to power!" Andrew roared angrily.
"Then I'll keep changing you until I'm satisfied. ”
