25. Dead line (twenty-eight)

Don't take it lightly at any time, especially if the opponent is human.

Li Lin would set such a precept for himself, which is somewhat inexplicable. As the guardian of the planet, the agent of the gods, and the strongest apex in this world, how could an ant-like human touch him, let alone defeat him. Why should we be cautious about this?

If it had just been completed, maybe Li Lin would unconditionally agree with this logic. After all, no matter which formula is used, the probability of a human being standing on the same horizon as him is infinitely close to zero, and even his back cannot be seen, let alone touched by hand.

On that day, however, this absolute legal principle was shattered.

A human being, leaving a scar on Li Lin's face.

Even though it was a trivial injury, it would disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye. But how could an absolute, unrivaled absolute, who should be absolutely perfect, be injured by a humble human being? The moment Dilandar crossed his cheek, Li Lin was no longer absolute, no longer perfect. No amount of reason or excuse can change the fact that "humanity touched God at that moment."

From that day on, Li Lin never despised human beings again. After receiving the task of "managing the world" from the mother goddess, he has been thinking about how to deal with the "collective human unconscious", that is, the biggest potential opponent of Alayya.

Alaya is troublesome.

Not strong, but troublesome.

Judging from the comparison of pure strength levels, Li Lin still has an absolute advantage, and he can maintain his advantage for a long time. But there is only one way to completely solve the problem of alayya, and that is to wipe out all intelligent beings – the only way to eradicate the collective unconscious that intelligent beings are connected by the common idea of "living" is to physically destroy all intelligent beings. This price is obviously unbearable, so Li Lin can only choose one of the less violent options.

In the end, after repeated arguments, Li Lin chose the "early cancer treatment plan".

Cancer is a product of the failure of cell replication in the body, and a normal and healthy human body can be kept healthy by eliminating diseased cells through the immune system. However, when the body's immune function is weakened and carcinogenic chemicals accumulate too much in the body, the immune system cannot eliminate the cancer cells, and the cancer cells quickly absorb nutrients and begin to multiply, forming diseased tissues in the body, that is, tumors. This is when the cancer breaks out.

From a purely theoretical point of view, cancer cannot be cured, and all people can do is to detect it as soon as possible, suppress the disease through surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, gene-targeted drugs, etc., and curb the disease as a chronic disease, and finally cure it in the long process of conditioning. This can only be done in patients with early-stage cancer, i.e., benign tumors. Once it enters the advanced stage, the cancer cells metastasize and spread throughout the body, and the only thing people can do is to try to alleviate the pain of the patient and let the patient die a smooth and dignified death.

If the planet is compared to a giant life form, then Alaya can be regarded as a cancer in a way. It is still in the early benign stage, and it has not deteriorated or grown in troublesome places such as the pancreas. Minimally invasive surgery can be used to remove the lesion, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, and the disease can be stabilized and finally cured by gene-targeted drugs.

The battle is an operation, the first stage is to remove the diseased tumors - the church and Charlemagne, and the second stage is the adjuvant chemotherapy stage, which exterminates potential cancer cells in the body by injecting a powerful drug into the world.

In order to ensure the efficacy and minimize the side effects, Li Lin carefully chose a drug called "showing the ugliness of human nature".

Since ancient times, there have been countless literary works that praise the beautiful side of human nature, and there are relatively few works that describe the darkness of human nature. But it is also a great work, but the works that depict the evil of human nature are always more impressive, and those expressions that are so profound and straightforward that they are almost cruel are like nightmares, lingering in the minds of generations of audiences.

It's not that audiences have any weird fetishes, or that people are always obsessed with negative aesthetics. Everyone loves to bask in the sun, and no normal person likes to be in a dark, damp sewer ditch. It is only because of the needs of mental health and the constraints of the moral standards necessary for collective life that people will more or less subconsciously avoid the ugly things in order to put themselves in the position of "normal people" and "good people", not the other way around. If there are guys who like to be mavericks, who claim to be "rebellious" and "non-mainstream", who want to deny this mechanism and are keen to do the opposite, then those who go against the trend of society will end up either being eliminated by society or by violent institutions.

The fundamental reason why works depicting the darkness of human nature can give people a strong impact and deep impression, can break through the public's disgust with dark and ugly things, and become an enduring topic, is actually very simple - as a key nerve signal directly related to life and death, pain is stronger than any kind of sense. Confronting the impact of the dark side of human nature is equivalent to a spiritual sense of pain, which is of course much deeper than the fleeting happiness and happiness.

How would people feel when a work that depicts the darkness of human nature can make such an impact, but when it is replaced by a more direct and straightforward reality show?

I'm afraid that it can't be called an impact anymore, and it would be more appropriate to call it a spiritual poison.

No one can remain calm after seeing such a vile and dirty thing, to see that human beings can be so easily turned into beasts, loyalty, faith, friendship, mercy...... All virtues can be so easily discarded and trampled on, and people can be so cruel to a hero whom they once admired. Even onlookers are unlikely to remain calm.

Don't know, don't understand, don't understand?

These excuses and justifications are just a pile of pale words in the face of the facts, and everyone knows how despicable people can become, and what kind of beasts are housed in everyone's hearts. It's just that everyone pretends to forget and tries not to dwell on it, so as to ensure that they don't degenerate into beasts. When everyone can no longer turn a blind eye and is forced to face these problems, can anyone still point to the crazy and bloodthirsty two-legged beasts in the picture, those who are exactly like themselves, and say things like "human nature is good" and "there is still hope for mankind"?

No way.

Even if adults can manage to justify themselves and hypnotize themselves, what about children who are blank sheets? What will become of the next generation when they have seen the darkest parts of human nature unleashed, and the depraved and crazy decadence of adults?

As long as the seeds of "there is no point in resistance" and "there is no hope for mankind" can be planted in the hearts of the people through this spiritual baptism, the initial stage of treatment can be considered complete. Although there is still a risk of recurrence, the cancer can be brought under control with the removal of the most dangerous lesions and adjuvant chemotherapy continued. This is followed by a long period of conditioning and control, and it is believed that through long-term and persistent combination treatment, it should be able to be finally cured.

That's the core purpose of this fight.

The church, Charlemagne, and even Roland were sacrifices prepared for this purpose. As for what kind of struggle they will make, will they be able to reproduce the previous miracles...... Who cares about a thing whose outcome is already certain? Even if there is a so-called expectation, it is only a matter of whether Roland can overcome this desperate situation and grow further.

Believing in humanity, believing in the world, believing in possibilities - only to be betrayed by everything he believed in, will Roland be able to collapse or will he be able to cross this hell and grow into a greater person.

If he survives...... If you cross the dead line.
