283. Desire for change
The caramel snail's eyes glowed green, but after a few seconds of flickering, they returned to their original color, and his will seemed to prevail over some kind of existence, and he insisted on asking:
"Why, when they're protecting people, they're making people more miserable?"
Click.
Li Oz put down the camera and waited for the film to come out, then looked up and looked back at the caramel snail.
He saw the confusion in the other party's eyes, and he knew very well where the doubts in the other party's heart came from.
"Actually, you should know it in your own heart."
Li Oz Says:
"Such a world is not a world in which people can live."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Long journeys are a bit too much for used bikes, and there are plenty of problems along the way.
Fortunately, with Igor's ability, she earned a lot of travel expenses along the way and also learned the ability to maintain.
"You say the idea of the church is good? Hmph, maybe, but that's not the life of a mortal. β
Xia Beiluo repaired the spokes of the bicycle, and when he heard Igor say this, he immediately raised his head and asked in confusion:
"Huh? What does that mean? β
Igor Choi leaned against the fence of the road, looked up at the sky, and said lazily:
"Mortals have seven emotions and six desires, they have warmth, they will grow old and ugly, they are kind and gentle, and they can also be cruel. But the church does not recognize this. β
"You have to understand that you live on a planet where you can manipulate souls and master the art of spirits, and since that is the case, then the dead themselves are a resource."
"The Church wants people to be as clean and blank as ghosts, and to follow their plans, so that although the world is boring, the number of people and spirits must be strictly matched, not too much, not too little, and at the same time, psionic technology must slowly improve."
"So ......" Xia Beiluo seemed to understand a little, "so the church, is deliberately controlling the population and spirits?" β
"You're not too stupid."
Igor put his hands behind his head:
"Guess what, why would the church do that?"
ββ¦β¦ Because they want people to live better? β
"It's that they think people can be better off in this environment. They are like a parent who refuses to communicate with you, hoping to use their absolutely correct experience to erase your individuality, disintegrate your independent will, stifle your imagination, and make you a so-called happy child who lives a peaceful life - this is the church. β
Igor explains:
"They don't want you to have joys and sorrows, they want to turn you into a pure living machine to use to build their earthly kingdom of gods to please the weird trio of faith. But where does the God of heaven care? For God, even if our creation is completely destroyed, I am afraid that it will not be much sad. β
But the church doesn't say...... Does God love the world? Xia Beiluo hesitated and said, "If God doesn't love us, why did he create us?" β
"Would you love canned food, or meat in canned food? Will you carefully love every can that is mass-produced from the assembly line? β
Igor asked rhetorically:
"You love the delicious taste of the moment you enjoy the can, but you are by no means the very existence of the canned food."
Xia Beiluo opened her mouth, and Igor could always destroy her conventional thinking with these magical metaphors.
"Igor, since you also know that the existence of the church is necessary," Charbelo asked, "and what are you spreading rock music for?" β
"For what? In order to liberate people from this oppressive world, so that they can truly live by their own strength and not by God's charity. β
Igor stood up, walked over to the bicycle, was silent for a moment, and said:
"You should understand the fact that children will only grow up if they are separated from their parents."
"But I haven't heard that children need to kill their parents in order to grow up." Xia Beiluo retorted: "You are too extreme, Cui, your idea is too ideal. β
Igor glanced at her and said:
"Aren't you? Without your parents, you will suddenly stand up to the sky, a mature and sensible girl. β
"It's different!" Xia Beiluo bit his lip: "If I have to lose something important to grow, then I'd rather stay in swaddling clothes forever." β
"It's because of your cowardly thinking that people have been trapped in the church's birdcage,!"
Igor went toe-to-toe with her:
"You pedantic unlucky bastards, who are always giving up your power little by little, are accustomed to relying on the power of the church, and you have never thought about how wonderful the outside world is! How romantic the starry sky is! The church says that the universe outside is dangerous, and you don't dare to raise your head. β
"Then how do you know that the sky must be beautiful?" Xia Beiluo said unceremoniously: "The church has various cases, histories, and ancient relics that tell us that the universe is full of dangers, and it is not enough to be able to settle in a corner?" β
"Of course I do."
Igor Choi took off his sunglasses, he pointed to the guitar case on the side, and said:
"Because it comes from that abyss."
ββ¦β¦ What? Xia Beiluo was at a loss. What does that mean? β
"The guitar is called 'Soul Casino' and it's a social institution. It is the handicraft made of the monsters and beasts that fought with the gods and made of their body fragments. β
Igor Choi guided Xia Beiluo forward and stroked the guitar case:
"This guitar comes from a being called [Outlander] Pergara, and it is not only capable of playing uplifting music, but most importantly, it can bring wealth and good luck."
"What? This, this can't be, right? Xia Beiluo was surprised.
"There is a price." Igor said lightly: "Every time you play, your soul will be consumed, and the way to bring wealth is to take out a part of your soul and use it as a bargaining chip for gambling." β
"The better the outcome of gambling, the better your financial luck, and conversely, the worse the outcome, the worse your financial luck will become."
But even so, it was a creation beyond the imagination of the church. This is the power of [society], and the power of each [society] is different. β
ββ¦β¦ According to the Church, in the astral plane, the gods and society are still fighting. Xia Beiluo raised his head and looked at Igor: "Doesn't that mean that such a treasure still has traces of gods......
"Well, that's pretty much what you think." Igor nodded: "You can guess with your toes - there are many wonderful places in the universe." If you just stay on this planet and stagnate for fear of the gods and society, then you are doomed to be abandoned as well. β
"Igor, I seem to understand your purpose......"
Xia Beiluo stood up and said in a deep voice:
"I'm afraid there are many, many aliens with such power, if we don't work hard to step into the astral boundary, then we will inevitably be broken through the canopy by the powerful astral existence one day."
"But what if we stepped into the universe and found enemies on all sides?"
"I don't know."
Igor said calmly:
"All I can say is: what I am after is not war, what the future holds - heh, only God knows."
"But even so...... Do you still want to rebel against the church? β
"No, you're wrong, I'm not rebelling against the church, it's a world where divinity kidnaps humanity."
Igor Dao:
"I've seen Church soldiers block the barren sea, their corpses piled up in mountains β and I've crawled out of those well-dressed graves. I understood their ideals, and then the church used that name to expand their power. β
"After a while, I retired from the Salvation Army and was assigned to boil water in the boiler room, and the work was repetitive and monotonous, just like this world, where everyone has their own duties, and they have been assigned a fixed position, a predetermined destiny - I can't help but start thinking, what is the point of living like this for the rest of your life?"
"So I went to the diocese again, where it was orderly, peaceful and peaceful, but even in such a well-planned and clear church city, you can see destitute homeless people, and you can also see pet dogs eating steaks - God loves the world, but some people are more pampered, in this world, there is no equality, if you want to rise, you can only continue the path they give you, monotonously fighting and fighting."
Charbelo fell silent and listened to Igor's account of his experience. But when Igor said this, he suddenly changed his words and asked:
"Do you know how the rules of the church come about?"
Before Xia Beiluo could speak, Igor explained:
"I'll give you an example - in the beginning, the church forbade you to drink raw water because of people's low level of education, probably to prevent parasites, but then it became a religious taboo."
"A few hundred years later, they saw drinking raw water as a sign of demonic possession."
"Later, they even attacked all the people who drank raw water, and even started a fight! To them to call them demons and bad seeds? Is this what the gods want to see? Is this the goal of the Church? β
"From the spiritual realm to the secular. The church is always abiding by the bottom line, but it is only the bottom line - if it is stagnant forever, then when disaster falls from the sky one day, how will people fight it? At that time, those who have been domesticated by the church will be reduced to a flock of lambs to the slaughter. β
"I'll tell you why I'm fightingβthe church has changed from an organization that educates the people to a tool for serving a few, and it draws blood nutrients from the bodies of the violets to feed a few top church personnel."
"They have betrayed their original noble ideals and have become slaves to the desire for pleasure. This is not a church, and I want to free people from such a church and return them to their original path. β
"Xia Beiluo, I am not rebelling against the church itself, I am declaring war on rigidity and backwardness, this world must be big, and there is not only our planet that exists alone - yes, we need the spirit of resistance."
"That's what fucking rock 'n' roll is all about β if you can, I hope you never need rock 'n' roll one day."
"When I plucked the strings, a fire lit up in my chest, and everywhere the song went, people shouted the same cry β 'Change,' I remember very clearly, it was what they told me."
"Remember, chick, never compromise with the world."
