Chapter 11 Don’t name your cattle and sheep

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The shepherds said, don’t give names to your cattle and sheep.

Although it is an inappropriate metaphor, Li Yue feels that applying this sentence to himself at this time will cause the same trouble - knowing or giving the other person a name, from then on it is no longer an object, but

A "living" existence with personality and characteristics.

"Rockefeller..." Although the girl didn't know that Li Yue had thought so much, she still murmured her name.

Li Yue was silent, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart - if he ignored her and ended up dying here, would she become a little pimple in the future?

So what if I let her out and she died on the way to escape?

Li Yue thought about it and suddenly stopped thinking about it - a brain is a good thing, but it is not beautiful when it goes into a dead end.

This is not the previous life, not human society, this is the Demon King's City.

In the Demon King's City, even "pity"... is a privilege belonging to the strong.

And indifference is also a must-have expression for the devil.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Yue will not save her, but... she will leave the choice to herself.

"Rockfield, you are a thief, aren't you?" Li Yue made a decision, and his aura became much more relaxed, "A thief... should run very fast and have his own ability to survive.

Right?"

"Forget it, I don't want to know." Li Yue patted his head, thinking that he almost got in again, "I will open this iron door in a while, you can make your own choice."

"But... don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if you escape from the dungeon, you may not be able to escape from the Demon King's City. At least I don't know how to get out..." Li Yue did not give Rockefeller a chance to answer, "So once you are

If you catch me, you may die a worse death."

Rockefeller couldn't believe what Li Yue said, her eyes widened, and she glanced at the key on Li Yue's waist.

"Before that... please wait inside." Li Yue said, wrapping Rockefeller with his mind...

When Li Yue completely concentrated his mind and blocked out his reverie about that body, the reminder from the Devil's Illustrated Book came as promised.

[Parsing...50%...]

Very weak and very fast.

[Analysis completed, Demon Manual No. 666 - Human]

Li Yue was surprised. He didn't expect that the species "human" would really be included in the devil's illustrated book, or...in a sense, "human" is also a kind of devil?

And it’s a weird number like No.666.

[Human beings; Distribution: everywhere/diffusion; Lifespan: 40-120 years; Habits: a life driven by desires, with a single starting point, but with ever-changing appearances/packaging in the process of realization; Hobbies: complex; Skills: multiple; Actions

Prediction success rate: 1.356% in normal state, 73.84% in known causes; Weakness: Brain/Heart]

After reading the introduction about "human beings" in the Devil's Illustrated Book, Li Yue's feelings are hard to describe.

First of all, judging from the life span, the level of human development in this world is very strange - you can see muskets and hand crossbows in the Demon King's Castle, so from this point of view... it should be similar to that near the Industrial Revolution?

But he is still 120 years old. Is this the influence of magic?

As for habits... Li Yue wanted to start a fight directly - Li Yue, who had just traveled through time, still had a sense of pride and identity as a human being. Although the Devil's Illustrated Manual used a few more words to describe human beings' "habits",

But Li Yue still subconsciously wanted to say something... Please forgive me for not agreeing.

What is "life driven by desire"? Can human love, kindness, courage...can all be summarized by a word called "desire"?

Uh...it doesn't seem impossible.

Li Yue's head felt a little painful - as a master who has been baptized by the waves of the Internet for a long time, Li Yue still wanted to find a footing to refute, but he had to admit that the evaluation given by the Devil's Illustrated Book was somewhat accurate.

Love is desire, hate is desire, a word from the heart, summarizing good and evil...

Well, I have to sacrifice a great god - Li Yue, as a time traveler, has always had good qualities in common, so he immediately looked for arguments from the sages of the world he came from, and he remembered Lao Tzu from the "Tao Te Ching"

.

Wuwei! How about it?

Li Yue probably only remembers Lao Tzu's basic arguments.

Unexpectedly, the second half of the sentence is "and to cure", so "to cure" is not a desire? Even if you try to classify it, it doesn't jump out of the description in the Demon's Manual.

He still suffered the loss of being uneducated - Li Yue felt uncomfortable all over, but he had the self-knowledge to give up trying to compete with the devil's illustrated book and concentrate on studying the following lines of description.

"There are ever-changing appearances/packagings in the realization process", which refers to things like love, courage, and responsibility. Of course, the Devil's Manual is not denying all the beautiful qualities for human beings, but it is not denying them at all.

It's just an emotional summary. Judging from the number of words it describes, it also affirms the complexity of human beings.

Li Yue searched for a long time on his own before his thoughts took him to another dead end again.

Needless to say about hobbies, skills, and weaknesses, let’s skip it quickly. Li Yue is very concerned about the “action prediction success rate”—after all, this is an important data that was confirmed on Fendis, and now it has a new format.

Description, it is inevitable to take a few more glances.

After a brief analysis, Li Yue felt that there should be no problem with his understanding - the normal state naturally refers to the description of strangers in the Devil's Manual. Obviously, it is more difficult to predict the behavior of strangers than predicting the actions of monsters. He can only follow the instructions of human beings.

Make judgments based on social "common sense".

Known motivation... should refer to the conclusion drawn from analysis after understanding the object's "desire", right?

73.84% is not very high, even lower than the devil wolf and skeleton, but it does not jump out of logic - after all, humans... can be impulsive.

After confirming that he fully understood the description of "human beings" in the Devil's Manual, Li Yue used his mind to wrap up Rockefeller in the cell, and the Devil's Manual also analyzed her condition.

[Current object...Status: Health/Fear; Motive: Survival...]

Is it the same as when he first came to Demon King's City? Li Yue couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Are you ready...how long do you have to wait?" Rockefeller asked cautiously, for fear of offending the skeleton soldier in front of him who suddenly behaved strangely.

"Just wait, it won't take long." Li Yue knew that there wouldn't be any powerful beings in the "vegetable field". Apart from humans, there were only some weak monsters, or even no monsters, so it wouldn't take much time...<

/p>

What's more, we have to go to the vault, so we can't stay here for too long.

Li Yue thought about it and was about to take a step when his mind suddenly flashed and he realized that he had forgotten one thing!

The Devil's Manual includes "humans", so the transformation function should also be turned on, right?

Isn’t it...

Li Yue quickly opened the "Transformation" page and found the "Human" column as expected. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief - although there was nothing wrong with Naoling's body, Li Yue still had the will to be born as a human being.

Of course, I also want to find my body again...

The transformation can be fine-tuned, which is enough to meet Li Yue's expectations. However, to be on the safe side, Li Yue is still prepared to walk deeper into the "vegetable field" and try to analyze a man. Maybe he can change it less...
p>

After all, Li Yue was a handsome guy before time travel, so it’s a pity that he abandoned his body like this.

Nodding to Rockefeller, Li Yue regained his drunken pace and walked inward along the corridor - there was a touch of indifference and a touch of determination in his steps.
