- Still, the world is beautiful.

Being able to say this sentence makes the concept valid, provided that there is still an expectation of the world and all beings.

The world may be cruel and harsh, but it is still beautiful, and as long as you persistently improve and make up for it, you will definitely be able to become more colorful, and the people living in the world are the same, although there are still many problems, but as long as you don't give up hope, accumulate bit by bit, in the end-

But is humanity really worth looking forward to? Will humanity change itself and change the world by repeating the same mistakes?

No way.

The so-called human beings.

The so-called life.

In the final analysis, it is a ruthless and ugly existence, whether it is a thousand years of watching, ten thousand years, or even the end of eternity, in the end, all you can see and feel is hopeless despair.

"You're just overwhelmed by your own desperation!!"

"Despair? That kind of thing didn't exist in the first place. ”

Beautiful red eyes, glittering with a cold glow like jewels.

"From the very beginning, there was no expectation of goodwill and justice for humanity and the world, so there was no disappointment or despair at all. ”

If you don't have hope, you don't care if you're desperate or not.

"As long as we still have ideals, we still hope that human beings can change, and we still hold on to the so-called hope. You will constantly be in conflict with reality, constantly being worn away from the edges and corners, and at the end of the day, you will be deprived of everything, after losing everything. Thinking that you were once happy, that human beings were once good, that the world should have been like that—then one day you will hate the world that is not what you are doing, and fall into an existence as inferior as it, even if you want to destroy yourself to destroy this abominable world. That's what idealists ...... And your end. ”

When idealists find that the revolution they have set off has finally become completely different from their ideals or even unrecognizable, they will either corrupt and degenerate into the object of their own incomparable hatred, so as to paralyze and escape, or in order to hold on to the last trace of pride in their hearts, they will hate the unsatisfactory and despair in front of them, and become cynics, or they will die alone away from the crowd, or they will become a bomb that will involve everything around them with their resentment against the world......

This is the end of the road for idealists, the tombstone of those who believe in the world and in humanity.

Rather than facing the end of the road, which both myself and others sighed about, there was no expectation at the beginning, and there was not even the slightest glimmer of hope in my heart - which was obviously much more reasonable.

The same is true at the moment.

It is destined that no one will lend a helping hand, and there is no hope, so we can only keep repeating resistance and retreat. In the end, even life and dignity became playthings in the hands of others, fiddling with them at will, until they were discarded like garbage after getting tired of playing.

"Answer me, so that you can still say, 'The world is beautiful in spite of this,' and can you believe in ideals that are more empty than fantasy?"

"Maybe you're right, the world and human beings are really incorrigible......"

Roland squeezed an argument out of his throat, and a simple sentence almost suffocated him.

He does not deny Li Lin's claim, because it is also a kind of truth, whether it is the experience so far, or the conclusion of the transcendent viewpoint above all things, it is a truth that cannot be denied.

The world and humanity do have an ugly and despicable side, and if we look back in history, we will lament why we have never learned from the countless lessons of the past, why we have always made strikingly similar mistakes, and then question why the gods created such a tragic creature.

However.

Even so, humanity has not perished, and is still trying to improve itself and the world. ”

History is not a circular circle that spins in place, but a spiraling ladder. As familiar scenes continue to be staged, civilization, society, ethics, and technology are also constantly improving. Ignoring these advances, focusing on what has not improved, is either selective forgetting for a certain purpose, or another form of cynicism – believing in nothing, not wanting to change oneself and others, and blindly empty.

The latter can be said to be Li Lin's personal portrait.

He doesn't trust anyone, he doesn't expect any change, and the movement of all things, history and personal progress is just a passing moment for him. The whole world is nothing more than a test paper that has already been filled in with the correct answers, and there is no need to change and improve.

As he himself said, as a substitute for the divine will, as an emperor, he is only a container that carries the will of the gods and the will of the people, and will only show the appearance that the supplicant wants to see according to the will of the injected container, and take the only reasonable action according to the will of the infusion.

In that "reasonableness", human beings can only be inferior beings from beginning to end, and there is no room for change, and there is no need for that.

In the face of this suffocating despair and nothingness.

"I can tell you out loud – 'The world is beautiful despite this!!'"

The moment the answer was blurted out, the pressure on the throat suddenly increased, and the consciousness that was barely holding on was almost broken again.

Why–

Barely holding the grip to the edge of Roland's neck that would not break it, questions suddenly swelled up, but he didn't say it.

Roland is not unaware of the cruelty of war, and how despicable and indecent human beings in dangerous situations can be, and he should know this better than anyone else.

In order to survive, people can easily trample others under their feet, and even those who have been trampled under the feet of others have also stepped on others before and lived in this world.

This is true everywhere.

If you don't do that, you can't live.

So.

What is the difference between humans and monsters?

He saw all these in his eyes and remembered them in his heart, and now he has been reduced to the point of wandering between the edge of life and death.

But why, didn't he give up hope in humanity and the world?

Why does he still choose to believe that the world is beautiful, that he believes in those naïve ideals? why is he able to do so, why does he still have hope, why does he still yearn for dreams that could have been abandoned.

Is it fanaticism, is it strong, is it paranoia, or is it simply rebellious for no reason?

Why-Question is constantly amplified in a network of intertwined intelligence and programs, and Li Lin, who is supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent, cannot sort out acceptable answers.

Obviously, he has been in contact with Roland for more than ten years, and he has planned a detailed life for Roland, and he has been observing Roland's growth and changes all the time. Roland's every thought, every action, every movement, every sigh - Li Lin knew it all out.

However, for the first time, Li Lin realized that he probably didn't know anything about Roland Dalk as a human being.
