Chapter 54: Weight
Charles and Eric are good friends.
The friendship between the two has been formed more than ten years ago, and the world has changed dramatically from now, but it seems that there has not changed much at a closer look, which is for the two people who are also deeply hearted, when they start talking after really meeting, there is a feeling of finally meeting a soulmate in life.
And it's more coincidental.
Li Lin is an indispensable and important role in the life path of these two psykers.
In the conversation between the two people in their spare time, they inevitably mentioned Li Lin, and their attitudes towards Li Lin were obviously a little different at first sight, which also directly affected the attitude towards the formation of the follow-up psionic team, as the two strongest in the team, this team is basically the era of the two kings.
That is, there are two captains.
And the measures of the two captains actually happened to be able to make up for the character flaws of these two people, and Miss Moira, who made this arrangement, did not expect that her unintentional actions were right in the heart.
Charles and Eric are playing against each other.
Outside at the moment, it was the time of the thunderstorm, and the electric snake that flashed through the sky from time to time made Eric frown, his psionic energy expression was in the form of a magnetic field, and he was very sensitive to magnetoelectricity-related changes.
On a thunderstorm like this, it was as if a part of his body suddenly jumped on its own, which was a terrible thing for a person who could completely control himself.
Another thunderclap streaked across the sky.
Eric, who picked up the chess piece, gritted his teeth and cursed a word that began to be pronounced.
"No, this chess game is not fair, except for the damn thunder, you can still drill into my head and look at my thoughts at any time." Eric threw the chess pieces away, and his fingers hooked the metal chessboard and instantly flipped over.
"Eric ......"
Charles looked at the mess of chessboard with some speechlessness.
"First of all, even without this damn thunder, you won't necessarily be able to beat me, and secondly, I never read other people's minds casually, that's the rule I set for myself."
In the European and American chess master competitions, Charles won four consecutive championships.
The reason why there are only four consecutive championships is that he has only participated in four times, and when the fifth time the tournament reached the final, Charles, who felt bored, directly stopped playing. He had never opened a plug-in in such a brain game, i.e., read his mind or use psionic energy to win.
Because it's a fair versus game!
It's really cool to have a big kill, but you won't feel the slightest bit of fun in the first place, because everything is too easy, and the unchallenging game will be tired of being a small human or a chaotic evil god.
"Other than that, Li Lin and I have never won a game of chess."
Charles made up for Eric by the way.
Eric was obviously surprised when he heard this, the lord of subspace couldn't win against Charles in chess.
"It can't be." Eric subconsciously denied that Li Lin was an omnipotent master in his mind, as long as what he wanted to do could definitely be done, but in a different way.
"That's true, Eric, because Li Lin only played chess at the level of ordinary people, just like he did when he faced us psionics, he didn't reject us." Charles said intentionally or unintentionally.
"Aha, are you going to start lecturing me?"
This little bit of caution is easy to see through to Eric, who has been wandering since he was a child, and Charles obviously wants him not to mind the formation of the psionic team, and he should also join in the fight for the future of the psionics.
The erosion of the physical world by subspace is intensifying.
One thing is obvious.
After World War II, there were more and more psykers who formed an army of one-man people, and the explosive rise in the number of such psionics was obviously about to become a trend of racial problems in the future, representing that chaos was becoming easier and easier to enter the world.
If not handled properly......
Pushing all the psionics to the side of chaos is an absolutely catastrophic future.
Think about it, not much, just a few hundred hateful psionics, run to the capital of a certain country and lurk, and at some point suddenly sacrifice themselves to the gods of the subspace. These hundreds of subspace cracks were instantly linked together, forming a passage large enough to accommodate the Great Demon crossing the border.
This is an absolute nightmare for human civilization.
Discrimination undermines the creation of hatred and fear, and fear and hatred exacerbate the bad status quo, which is an unsolvable cycle. And with the aggressiveness of governments in the Cold War, it is likely that psionics will be the scapegoat for chaos in the future.
On the European side, some dead psionics are already being burned.
The devil knows how many psykers have taken the path of worshipping chaos under the high pressure of the Inquisition, and then waited for an opportunity to seek revenge.
Neither Charles nor Eric want to see the future of psionics, and it's hopelessly mad.
As new-age psionics, they all want to change.
It's just that they don't do it all the same way.
Eric is a Jew, and a poor Jew, who has experienced the deep malice of the Empire in Judah as a child, and has not lived a normal life since he went on a frenzied hunt to kill the Black Emperor, let alone some extravagant emotions, and he is very cold and pessimistic, believing that psionics should fight tirelessly to create a Garden of Eden of their own.
It's hard to say that Eric's mind wasn't poisoned by Judah's struggles and my struggles at a young age.
But at least he doesn't have the slightest illusion about the world.
And Sebastian Shaw's influence on him is second only to Li Lin, and the worldview of this powerful psyker is in some ways as dangerous as Chaos.
Charles is different.
Noble background, wealthy family, good education, and good teachers and friends, recognize the world and choose to love the world, which causes him to integrate into the world well, and more often choose to choose solutions within the framework of common sense, rather than tearing up the framework.
It stands to reason that they should be incompatible.
But fate made them confidants and friends.
Perhaps because he hadn't had a friend for a long time, Eric cherished Charles' very much, and after careful consideration, he agreed to Charles's request.
Perhaps it was this sentence that touched him.
"Eric, Xiao and Li Lin all have friends, they can all live a normal life, and so can you."
Charles's words hit Eric's heart.
He stood behind the window for a long time and stopped to gaze at this stormy world, the swaying branches like the heart of this lonely boat. Every lonely boat has its own port, and maybe he can also have a good life, just like Charles and Li Lin.
"Charles, I promise you, but you also have to promise me one condition."
"What kind of conditions."
"That is, don't betray us."
Eric turned around and stared at him, and even if he didn't have to read his mind, Charles could understand that he was talking about us here, referring to psionic beings. It's not easy, but it's worth conquering, Charles suddenly thought of Li Lin.
Li Lin when he is fulfilling the wishes of others.
Also feel so heavy? If the weight of one man is like this, what about all mankind?
