Rama called out in a warm voice, "Come, please come out and bear witness, my great god." ”

He called out to the empty place, and the gods came as if they had never left.

No, no, no, the rhetoric of never leaving is very mild, and perhaps a more direct statement would be appropriate - he never gave up watching.

"You describe order as painting a pie, but you're actually making that pie come to fruition." Nahida said softly, "You don't have to pay anything for this. ”

"Because I'll be sure of your righteousness."

Rama smiled, "It's really my pleasure. ”

Justice, the right thing and the like, always need a standard to measure.

This standard is usually a certain consensus reached by human society for thousands of years, such as the classic righteous annihilation of relatives, father to son, superior to subordinate, this is a righteous annihilation of relatives, a commendable sacrifice. But once the other way around, the son chooses to report his father for the sake of something right, this often does not constitute a righteous killing of relatives, but is regarded as an extermination of humanity, without a manifestation of humanity, and in terms of punishment, the son who made a righteous choice will also be sentenced to a crime.

What determines these criteria for judgment is a certain consensus reached by human society for thousands of years, as well as certain adjustments made by the central court with the emperor as the core in order to safeguard the interests of the upper echelons of the entire country after deliberation, and this is the law.

As for Teyvat, the gods are the absolute core, and he affirmed Rama's justice, which means that Nahida chose to vouch for Rama's actions.

He approved of Rama's choice and rejected any accusation against Rama that he had done what was right and right.

He's not wrong.

And those "volunteers" who died because of Rama's research belong to "the sacrifices that have to be made in order to achieve ultimate justice".

I'm sorry to abandon them, but it's for the sake of justice.

"A lot of people have endorsed my research, some of them have succumbed to my violence, some have succumbed to my power, and some have succumbed to my hope."

"We were doing what almost everyone thought was right, including Farusanne, and her questioning of me was only about experimenting with humans, not the experiment itself."

Rama paused, "Now that I have your approval, the gods themselves have acknowledged that these are necessary sacrifices, and no one will be held accountable for using their lives. ”

"Use life?" Nahida sighed, "I don't like that. ”

"Then change the ······· Well, it doesn't matter, and then think about how their death should be described. Rama waved his hand, apparently not paying much attention to it, "Anyway, now both gods and men think that I did the right thing, right?" ”

"Yes." Nahida was silent for a moment, "I agree with that. ”

Silence, of course, is a trade-off.

At both ends of the scale, on one end is Rama's relationship with Him, Rama's value, the value of experimentation, and on the other end is the lives of ordinary people – as Rama said, not all of them deserve to die, but all of them must be guilty. The part of the unforgivable sin is sloppy, but it doesn't matter, and the part of the sin that does not lead to death, they are just sacrifices.

Apparently Rama won.

"What shall I call you?" Rama's expression was flat, "King of the Great Mercy Tree? Or is it another me? ”

"You guessed it? Is it because of my choice? He looked curious.

"Partly," Rama thought for a moment, "Nahida's acquiescence to my research is indeed because the people I have chosen are all worthy of the death penalty under the laws of Sumeru. ”

"Although there should be a more complete process of life and death, rather than even death becoming a tool that can be applied," Rama said, "there is nothing wrong with being in a hurry." ”

The death of a condemned prisoner should be treated with as much dignity as possible, rather than being dismembered as a tool in the end—for example, since they have been sentenced to death, can their organs be harvested and used to save people who do not deserve to die? Or should they be applied to some scientific research?

The reason why such an act will not be passed is not because the law is sympathetic to some criminals whose crimes are unforgivable, on the contrary, it is preserving a kind of human bottom line.

If the organs of the condemned prisoners are to be used to save lives, if the condemned prisoners are to be used for some kind of inhumane research, then the people sentenced to death may not all really deserve to die.

This is why they cannot be tools, but must be treated as human beings, respecting death, not those who have been condemned to death.

Rama's early research followed this process, selecting the right material from among the condemned prisoners in Sumeru, rather than turning the appropriate material into the condemned prisoners and then selecting them.

This distinction is tolerable to Nahida.

He wasn't really satisfied, but He couldn't be tough with Rama.

"Nahida is not a good god, and he cares more about the stability of the whole than some good decisions." Rama whispered, "If killing one person saves a hundred people, He will choose to solve the problem, but if it can't be solved, He will consider making sacrifices." ”

It doesn't have to be self-sacrificing, though His usual means is self-sacrifice.

But this behavior is essentially a disregard for sacrifice – that He can always make sacrifices for a better outcome, rather than in the face of sacrifice, he must demand that all problems be solved and the best possible outcome can be achieved.

The best outcome is usually a dream, and a good ending is hard to come by.

"I can do it with someone who is guilty enough, and He has endured and endured."

"If I had to continue to strengthen this kind of research, he wouldn't be able to tolerate it."

That's why Rama went to Inazuma.

The war on Inazuma's side is mainly due to the fact that his god can't control Inazuma.

Although Lei Movie also considered whether to stab him when he learned about this matter later, in the end, the general still chose to remain silent.

In his own opinion, it was better to hold Rama accountable for this matter than to hold Rama responsible.

The chaos in Inazuma was almost single-handedly driven by him, and without His acquiescence, Kujo Takayuki would not have dared to make such a big deal.

So in the end, he just gave Rama a small knife as a lesson, which was weaker than the knife that Brother Kong faced in the plot that was blocked by Kazuha.

This was a warning, so Rama simply walked away.

"In the early days, it was the Fatui who supported my research." Rama spread his hands, "So even though the Fatui have done a lot of evil and even stabbed me in the back, I'm not really angry. ”

There is a soft hand, too much is given, and the mouth has to be soft.

After only one or two backstabs, Rama didn't pay attention to it at all.

"So, you deliberately chose some special identity materials to verify my identity?" Nahida bowed her head slightly, "It's a good show." ”

"This kind of plan can be successful, I'm afraid because you don't care about this kind of problem anymore." Rama sighed, "This is just the first step in my planned temptation. ”

The first step was to test Faruzanne.

Faruzan had always had this suspicion, but she couldn't believe that Rama's early research material was really the kind of sinner who matched his claims.

Because Rama has no credibility in this regard.

He means what he says, and only if he makes a very formal commitment.

Guarantees such as this kind of research are carried out at the time······· The first thing Rama did when he entered Sumeru City was to kill the six sages with their surnames, and he didn't judge the crimes of too many people in detail, because of the conflict with the six sages, he simply chose to kill them all.

When doing this unseemly thing, Rama actually has the opportunity to fabricate charges and then arrange it, after all, it is also a normal choice to want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots when he wins the war.

It's not decent to do something abnormal, and that's what Rama said, he doesn't have the idea of fabricating accusations at all.

With this kind of behavior, he has little credibility in this regard.

In terms of unscrupulous means, Rama is very worthy of a new appointment.

But Faruzan, including any of the scholars involved in the study, was not Rama's target.

It was only the first step that came out, and Rama was not happy at all.

A person's level is usually very stable, and you feel that he is a difficult enemy, but you expose him at the simplest temptation, then the problem is very big.

Either his food is surprising, but you think too much about it.

Either His plan has been completed and he doesn't feel the need to hide it from you.

Rama felt that it was the latter.

"Plan?" Nahida tilted her head, "It's not incorrect, I do have a plan. ”

"What do I need to do with this plan?" Rama sighed.

"You also have questions that you want to know, so why don't you ask them first?" The smile of the god carried a certain relief, as if the perennial perseverance had finally paid off.

"Thunderbolt is really fine, right?" Rama thought for a moment.

Rama was impressed by the fact that the villain's words were often counter-killed, and if it were him, he might choose to directly promote the plan instead of chatting slowly.

But in fact, the main reason for being counter-killed is that someone is unreasonable, and in most cases, you are able to tell people about your plan, proving that the situation has stabilized to the point that it is impossible to turn the tables.

And, if you do stick to a plan for a long time, you'll need an audience when it's time to make it happen.

It's not about prudence or not, it's just a simple desire to share in your success.

But it is only to share the success, not the fruits of victory.

"It depends on your specific definition of whether there is a problem or not, at least what He says to you is true, but what He knows is false." Nahida said.

There is no shortage of deception in such words, but Rama is willing to believe - there is not much more he can do than believe anyway.

"I wondered if He was deceiving me." Rama sighed, "But this result is not unexpected. ”

What he suspected at the time was not that Raiden was deceiving him, but that Rama was doubting that Raiden was still alive.

It is of course very difficult to think of the memory of a demon god so that he can't even see a demon god like Balzeb in disguise.

But after thinking about it, Rama still thinks that with the level of Ray's movie and his sister's level, this kind of thing is not without opportunities.

It's not that Ray is easy to deceive, the main thing is that he himself may like to be deceived like this.

My long-dead sister suddenly returned from the sacred cherry tree, and even though he may be fake, I want to believe that he is real.

The best lie in the world can't beat a person who is willing to lie to himself.

And now that it has been verified, there is really no problem with thunder and lightning, and there is no danger in the thunder movie.

"Oh, actually, you don't care if the thunderbolt is real or not, you're worried that the otaku girl will be hurt." The god's smile narrowed, "Then you don't have to worry, I also have this part of the memory, and of course I don't want to hurt him." ”

"So, you really know the plot." Rama's expression was flat, "If there was a time when I didn't notice, but Nahida changed, I'm afraid it was by chance in my golden dreamland." ”

Knowing that the plot is nothing, Rama is now past the stage where he completely needs the plot as a support.

In fact, he was not curious about the truth about Teyvat, and as far as the results were concerned, the truth was far less useful than the power.

"The Golden Dreamland was originally Amon's thing, but after He died, it was my world." The gods did not deny it, "I sent you to Sumeru, and you will definitely choose Amun." ”

"Because I know you won't be willing to be a mortal in a world where there are gods."

Rama sighed deeply, "So, Babel will adopt me, in fact, you are preparing behind the scenes?" ”

"Actually, it's not difficult, this ambitious mistress wants to be the king of the sand sea, and she doesn't mind anyone who has the ability to become her adopted son." Nahida nodded, "When you arrive in the Golden Dreamland, you're in my territory. ”

"So the next thing to do is very simple, I will have someone to save you, but on the other hand, he who arrived alone in the World Tree has become my goal."

"But why do you want to be Nahida?" Rama's expression remained unchanged.

It was as if he was asking someone who had nothing to do with him.

"It's a question that you need to find the answer to yourself, if you still have the time to find the answer." He didn't answer the question, "You always think too much, some of them overthink, and some of them are just planning for a rainy day." ”

"You're thinking too much about this."

He retracted his smile, "Alright, I've answered some of your questions, and now it's your turn to do something." ”

"The experiment has already had a try-out result, and it's time for you to start walking on this Yellow Spring Road and ascend to the throne."

"Is it me or you who ascend the throne?" Rama glanced at Him and whispered.

The god smiled and said, "Who knows." ”
