Chapter 62: True and presumptuous
"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other."
After Chen Mo drank the mellow black tea, he opened his mouth flatly.
"Young man, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. I'm for the sake of falling in love with you, and I'll say a few more words to you. ”
"You should be able to feel it, I didn't mean to hurt you."
The old man's face remained as usual, as if he were indeed stating a fact.
"But I don't think so."
Chen Mo responded again.
"You see, I'm not arguing with you about right or wrong. In fact, I just haven't seen anyone in a long time, so I'm in the mood to bring you some good tea. Nothing else. ”
The old man boiled a pot of water again and said with a normal expression.
Chen Mo nodded.
It seems that he is too excited?
Sure enough, I'm still too young.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper. But why are you in this hellish dungeon? ”
Chen Mo's expression was slightly apologetic.
"I owe Li Mei a favor."
The old man said after taking a sip of tea.
Chen Mo keenly captured a little detail.
Is it really appropriate for you to say the name Li Mei so naturally?
It seems that he just said who Li Mei is, right?
"Can you tell me what kind of human affection makes you willing to be trapped in this space?"
Chen Mo first asked tentatively.
In fact, he had already thought of what was most vulnerable in the other person's heart.
"Sleepy? I don't think so. I'm willing to stay here. ”
The old man shook his head, the look of remembrance in his eyes dissipated, and there were many things he couldn't actually say.
"Forgive me for taking the plunge."
Chen Mo looked directly at the other party.
"From the moment I stepped into that wood, I felt a peaceful atmosphere, which conveyed to me a sense of tranquility, indisputability, and pride, full of yearning."
"That's why when you want to talk to me, I'm going to come up with a place where you need a coffee table, sunshine, and greenery."
There seems to be nothing wrong with this.
This kind of demand is the enjoyment that human beings want to have the most.
But the question is, the other party is not human at all, why would he enjoy this need?
"So what's wrong with all this?"
The old man still poured tea as usual, and his expression did not change.
"Yes, there is no problem, but we are born on the Death Cruise, and there is such an abnormal scene here, it can only be said that you have a desire in your heart."
"But this desire is contrary to your cognition, does this mean that in fact, the yearning in your heart is also contradictory to your cognition?"
Chen Mo's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing the old man's heart.
"People are contradictions...... old man seemed to want to refute.
Chen Mo pondered for a long time before he couldn't bear to speak.
"The question is, are you human?"
When these words were spoken, the old man's complexion changed strongly for the first time.
His expression became hideous several times, and he suppressed it to death.
He wanted to maintain an elegant look, and he wanted to face the boy who dared to resist the twist with the same peace as ever.
But he had a hard time doing it.
"Chen Mo, do you want to continue to be obsessed?"
The old man said this sentence was not a calm gesture.
Rather, it was a look that bordered on madness.
Chen Mo had a feeling that this kind of look might not have belonged to the old man originally.
But none of that matters.
Because I am in it, I can't help myself.
"Nope. It's not up to you to say that. ”
"Obsession means clinging to a wrong perception without waking up. But do you really think that I was born wrong in this conversation? ”
"Although I also admit that in addition to right and wrong, black and white in the world, there are also gray and excessive, but there are some ironclad laws that cannot be resisted, black and white."
Chen Mo's tone was suddenly tough.
He could already feel the subtle changes in the old man.
In the pure human breath, there was occasionally a faint smell of pollution.
"Since he exists in the Heavenly Ghost Dungeon, there is no doubt that what can sustain his existence is nothing more than the polluted breath." Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.
The old man drank delicious tea, and after hearing Chen Mo's words, his emotions couldn't help but be driven.
"You're presumptuous."
"How do you tell I'm not human? Even though I'm not human, isn't it the same that I retain all human habits? ”
"As you can see, I don't even have a polluted breath in my body, and I've lived in a peaceful place for decades. Isn't that my salvation? ”
The old man's words are more like a kind of self-talk and self-doubt.
"No, as the saying goes, one misstep becomes a thousand hatreds, I don't know what happened to you, but what is wrong is wrong, and there is no room for recovery."
Chen Mo didn't give up, and his words were really a little ugly.
What he means is that now that you are a ghost, you should exist as a ghost, and you can no longer expect to be a human being.
"Presumptuous!"
The old man slapped the table angrily.
The boy's words really hit his pain point.
For so many years, the reason why he has lived with such a posture is because of his unwillingness.
He is not willing to become a polluter, but also feels that incarnating pollution is the mainstream of the world.
"The juniors are really presumptuous, I'm sorry."
Chen Mo's eyes showed sincere apologies.
At this moment, blood-colored words appeared on the bronze ancient lamp.
[What a good debate.] But is it really good for you to do this? If you want to get through the second level of the Celestial Dungeon, you still need one thing to do......]
Chen Mo frowned.
A must?
What is it?
The old man waited for a long time, but did not wait for Chen Mo to continue to speak.
So he took that apology as sincere.
And he gladly accepted.
"There was a time when I had the opportunity to fight as a human being, but the truth was far stronger than the ideal. Eventually, I confess, I gave in. But what about that? I'm just a different way of surviving in the world. ”
The old man pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
After Chen Mo heard this, his brows furrowed.
What is this theory?
A plausible excuse for your own submission?
This is equivalent to relying on the old and selling the old.
He sighed and didn't say anything more.
Everyone has the right to choose and know, and this right cannot be changed by the words of the outside world.
Just like Chen Mo himself, if he wants to implement the concept of being a human being, then he must put an end to all pollution.
Otherwise, you will never recover, and even lose yourself.
It's a terrible thing.
When you try your best to do something, it doesn't end up being done.
Actually, it's not terrible.
What's really scary is that you fail and then deny what you were trying to do at the time.
Just as Chen Mo's thoughts were drifting, a key bell rang.
He quickly turned his head to look, only to find that the office door had been opened.
He actually knew the people who came.
