Chapter 859: Inferring Cause from Effect
"What? Dangerous? She looked at me with some curiosity, "Do you want to confess to me?" β
"Me!" I sighed helplessly and added, "Didn't you always want to know what I'm doing?" Now I'll tell you. β
"Oh......?" She brought a stool and sat down, then looked at me expectantly, "Tell me about it." β
I really need a trustworthy teammate now, and Jiang Ruoxue is a good candidate.
I don't know what the "reverberation" of "cause and effect" is, but at least there is someone who can discuss the countermeasures together.
Jiang Ruoxue and I have completely opposite ways of thinking, maybe there can really be some miracles.
So I told her what happened to me in a few words, and I told her that I was chosen by a "zodiac" to be a teammate, and that the ultimate goal of that "zodiac" was to overthrow the "apex" here.
I then took out the note and showed her the three puzzles that Aries had left me.
"Do you have any clue?" I asked.
Jiang Ruoxue took the note and looked at the three sentences, her expression was no different from mine.
These three things are not something that I can do or the two of us.
"Do you have to do these three things?" She whispered to herself, "Is that why I'm here?" β
"I have to do it, but not for you." I shook my head, "If you have an idea, you can tell me, it's okay if you don't, or if you think I'm too dangerous right now, and I don't have a problem if you want to leave." β
"Who did you learn to chat with?" Jiang Ruoxue asked angrily, "If you have an idea, you have no idea." β
"I ......" I silently lowered my head when I heard this, "I'm sorry, I really didn't communicate with people before, so I like to say all the ugly things in front." β
"Change it when you talk to me in the future." Jiang Ruoxue looked at the note and waved her hand indifferently, "Your question...... I have an idea. β
"What's the idea?" I instantly raised my eyebrows, "Tell me about it." β
"Please."
"Ah......?"
Jiang Ruoxue smiled evilly at me: "Did you see it?" That's how a good sister speaks. In the future, you can use it with whomever you want, but you can't use it on me. β
"Good...... All right. I stroked my hair a little embarrassed, "Say it quickly, then." β
"Aren't you going to beg me, then?" Jiang Ruoxue pretended to look at the ceiling deeply, "It doesn't matter if you don't ask me, it's okay to call Dad." β
"You ......" I was so angry that I slapped her on the arm directly, but I didn't expect to make her laugh.
"Haha! That's it! Jiang Ruoxue said, "If you use a lot of skills and negotiation techniques when talking to me, you may lose my friend." In front of me, you can say whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want. It's not disrespectful to me, it's a show of intimacy with me. β
At this moment, I knew what Jiang Ruoxue meantβyes, I was always careful to guard against everyone, even those who were ready to deliver their sincerity to me.
I always thought that I had learned a lot of knowledge, but I didn't expect that even the simplest interpersonal communication needed Jiang Ruoxue to teach me.
"Zhichun." Jiang Ruoxue pointed to the note in front of her and resumed her serious expression, "You always say that I can't figure out the logical relationship, now you can try it with my way of thinking." β
"...... way of thinking?" I looked down and pondered, "You mean 'causal causes'?" β
"That's right." Jiang Ruoxue nodded, "You can't think of the "cause" after thinking about these three questions for so long, so it's better to start with the "effect" and give it a try." β
"I ...... I don't quite understand. β
I shook my head, Jiang Ruoxue's way of thinking was too abstract for me, and I couldn't use it freely in a short period of time.
"What do you think ......" Jiang Ruoxue thought for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "If a few years later, there is such a team in the 'Land of the End', they go around obstructing others from collecting the Dao, and they have done enough crazy things to make people desperate, and each of them is a "reverberator" powerhouse...... Why is that? β
"Ah......?"
Is this the ...... of "causal cause"?
However, Jiang Ruoxue's suggestion did give me a very novel idea, yes...... If there is such a team operating in the "Last Place", what is the reason?
What are the motivations of these people?
"Not quite right." I frowned and said, "One more condition......"
"What?"
"Because what we're doing is dangerous, these people need a way not to be wiped out by other forces." I thought for a moment and said, "So these people are supposed to be 'fighting alone'...... They don't even know each other, that's absolute safety. Even if a person is caught, even if he is beaten to death, he has no idea where the other teammates are. β
"I see, it's more thoughtful." Jiang Ruoxue nodded, then raised her head and asked, "Then think about it...... What is the purpose of this team? β
I followed Jiang Ruoxue's train of thought quickly, yes...... This team can't work together, so they don't need team spirit......
It's something else that's very abstract, and what they need is......
Faith.
A "faith" that does not need to cooperate with others, is implanted in the bottom of the heart, and is enough to fight alone.
Just like the ancient emperors who were mortals, they had to call themselves "Son of Heaven".
In this way, everyone who sees the "Son of Heaven" will shout "Long live", and they will fight desperately for the "Son of Heaven" at critical moments.
Even if these people have never seen the "Son of Heaven".
That's the power of faith.
As long as you can make up a lie to make them believe, it is logical to make these people work in various places.
But what lie am I going to concoct......?
"Wait......" I reached out and held my forehead slightly, feeling that my thinking was a little narrow, "there is no need to lie at all...... What I need to tell them is the "truth" ......"
"Huh?" Jiang Ruoxue turned her head to look at me, "Have you thought of it?" The "cause" of this. β
"Thanks to you......," I nodded, "I thought about it, this is the best path for me." I don't need to build a team at all, but I need to meet strong people and tell them the "truth" about this place...... As long as you collect 3,600 Dao pills, everything will start again. In this way, they will naturally fall into despair! For this reason, they will also take the initiative to interfere with those who are collecting the Tao, and at some point in the future, if I bring together these people who have the same purpose...... Then they are the strongest "team". β
