"The ship of Theseus?"

Listening to this obviously somewhat Western name, I subconsciously felt that this organization was a Western organization.

So I asked Sun Deming this question.

Sun Deming shook his head lightly: "No, this organization is a local organization, and it has only come into contact with the West in the last hundred years. ”

"Before that, the name of this organization was called 'Grafting Trees', and it was not until the people of this organization came into contact with the West and learned about the allusions of the West's 'Ship of Theseus' that they changed its name to the ship of Theseus."

The ship of Theseus, in essence, is a philosophical question, that is, there is a "ship of Theseus", every plank on the ship will be replaced if it is damaged, so when all the planks on this ship are replaced, is this ship still the previous "ship of Theseus"?

If not, then when was this "Ship of Theseus" not the original "Ship of Theseus"?

If so, then every plank of this "Ship of Theseus" is not the original plank, why is it still the original "Ship of Theseus"?

Moreover, if the planks of the original "Ship of Theseus" were to be reassembled into a single ship, which of the two ships would be the real "Ship of Theseus"?

The story sounds like a philosophical question, but in essence it has the meaning of "exchange" and "substitution".

In addition, Sun Deming said that the previous name of this organization was "Grafting", and the black heart industry chain of this organization in the hospital before......

Could it be ......

I looked at Sun Deming: "Is this tissue of theirs a tissue that can replace its own organs at will?" ”

Sun Deming's eyes lit up, and he nodded in admiration: "It's really you, you guessed right." But it's not a replacement, it's a transformation, an organization that can transform itself. ”

"But if that's all there is, I wouldn't be afraid to be like this. The most terrifying thing about this organization is two words - immortality! ”

Phoenix!

My pupils flickered.

These two words are not ordinary!

...... throughout the country No, in the whole world, these two words are pursued by all those with great power, great power and great power.

Whether it is the emperor or pope in the West, or the emperor and minister in the East, there are many people who are intoxicated with these two words.

I don't dare to say anything about the West, it's just some emperors in the East, and I know that many of them died on these two words.

No!

With this organization, it may not have died on the word "immortality", but because of "immortality" and "died" in the history books, but lived in reality in another way.

As if to confirm my thoughts, Sun Deming continued: "These people practice the supremacy of the soul, and the body is only a container for the soul, just a very sophisticated machine. ”

"The reason why it is difficult for people in this world to live for a hundred years, and it is impossible to live forever, is because the body is a machine with a limited service life."

"But a machine is a machine, and the soul just needs a machine to hold it, and it doesn't matter what the machine is, so they are like the 'ship of Theseus', as long as something is wrong with the body organ, they will immediately replace it."

"In this way, they can constantly update the 'parts' of their body and keep their body in top condition at all times."

"And because only a few 'parts' are replaced each time, this 'ship of Theseus' of the body after the replacement of organs is almost equivalent to the 'ship of Theseus' of the original body, and there is almost no resistance to the soul, which is far better than the rebirth of the soul."

He talked so much that at the end of the day his voice changed back to swallowing sand, which forced him to look for water to drink.

And I stood in place, everything that Jing Haiyu Sun Deming said.

I thought what I had thought was terrible enough, but now it seems that this organization called the "Ship of Theseus" is even more terrifying than I thought.

Immortality with almost no side effects, and at the cost of simply sacrificing an innocent victim.

This is almost a surefire deal for those who crave great power, great power and great power for eternal life.

Especially the emperors of ancient times who sought eternal life......

So, if I keep going against this organization, it's very likely that I'll meet some emperor from a previous dynasty who pursued immortality?

And they have accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years......

I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of smearing.

It's horrible.

Sun Deming watched my expression change, and laughed twice: "You guy is not yet twenty years old, why do you have so many thoughts, I just said a little bit of news, and I seem to have thought a lot of things when I look at you." ”

I smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to be less thoughtful, you don't understand me, if you want to live, you have to think so much." ”

"Want to live?" Sun Deming was attracted by me, "What's the matter with you?" Hearing you say that, as if you were in constant danger of your life? ”

This gave me a blank look - this guy is middle-aged, but in this way he looks like a slut who likes to eavesdrop on gossip.

And the scratch on his face turned his lewd expression into a slightly terrifying obscenity.

Can I say that?

This imperial destiny cannot be said casually, and it is difficult to guarantee that others will not publicize the matter of my imperial destiny.

And once the emperor's order is proclaimed......

I don't know how much trouble I'm going to have.

After being given such a blank look by me, Sun Deming seemed to know that I didn't want to continue to talk about it, so he didn't ask more, and said: "There are two kinds of signs for the people of the ship of Theseus, a hundred years ago there are peach wood tattoos on their bodies, and a hundred years later people have tattoos on the ships of Theseus. ”

This thing is divided into a hundred years ago and a hundred years later......

However, in this way, it is better to determine the importance of the membership of the organization.

Ordinary people don't live for more than 100 years, so people with mahogany tattoos on their bodies must have been transformed.

That's kind of information that is a little bit of a good thing for me.

When I was at the crematorium before, I seemed to have seen a ship-shaped tattoo on the crematorium employee, and I wondered if it was the so-called "ship of Theseus".

"I see, do you have anything to add?"

I closed my eyes and digested this not a large amount of but absolutely heavyweight news, opened my eyes and folded Sun Deming and continued to ask.

Sun Deming smiled: "I thought you would be so frightened that you just wanted to run away after hearing these news, but I didn't expect you to still have some concentration." I don't know more things, I just know that their organization seems to have a greater purpose than immortality. ”

"But I guess some of their low-level personnel don't understand this purpose, and I don't understand it even more, so you can only find it yourself."
