Chapter 2320 Why do you blame yourself
Next, Kirito looked at several possibilities and found that no matter what the situation was, as long as the Moon Night Black Cat Group acted on its own, it would eventually embark on the channel of destruction.
"Why is this happening?" Kirito looked at Wang Dong in a daze and murmured: "Is this...destiny?"
"There is nothing in this world that is a set destiny, there is only a future made by oneself." Wang Dong shook his head with a sigh and said, "Their demise was made by them."
"Why?" Kirito murmured.
"Because there is a joyful and happy atmosphere in the entire guild of Moon Night Black Cat Group." Wang Dong looked at Kirito calmly and said, "Of course, this is also the reason why they attract you."
"What does it mean?" Kirito's face looked quite ugly.
"It's very simple. Having a positive attitude is certainly a good thing, just like you, Asuna, Klein. Because you have a positive attitude, you know what you should do and what you should do. You have set the direction to move forward and defeated one strong enemy after another." Wang Dong looked at Kirito with a smile and explained: "But anything is too much or too little. Although the Moon Night Black Cat Group has a happy and optimistic spirit, they lack more!
For example, you can recognize your own strength and self-reflection ability! The most typical example is that after you join them, they get your training, and after their strength becomes slightly stronger, they begin to expand, and they don’t even know who they are.
For example, as a player's vigilance! Even members of your strategy group need to collect intelligence when facing monsters and bosses, for fear of dying if you accidentally die. After all, that world is not an ordinary game world. At worst, death is resurrection, right?
But what about the Moon Night Black Cat Group?
Their vigilance is too low.
Take your case as an example, a hidden room that suddenly appears deep in the maze, and a treasure chest is placed...
What will ordinary players think?
They will think that there are three possibilities for this treasure chest!
Possibility 1: This is a hidden reward that is triggered by clearing the surrounding monsters;
Possibilities 2: This is a trap similar to a treasure chest monster. When you touch the treasure chest, monsters will appear or treasure chests will directly turn into monsters;
Possibility 3: The treasure chest is an activation device that challenges the level. After touching the treasure chest, a challenge level will appear. Successful challenge can result in rewards.
So, what is the probability of the above three possibilities? The first one is the smallest! Why?
Because the game they are in is Sword Art Online! Kirito, do you think the creator of Sword Art Online, Kayaba Akihiko... is such a person who can place reward chests with kindness?"
"…Absolutely…No…” Kirito lowered his head in pain.
"Yes, he won't be! So the possibility of the first type is very slim and you can hardly think about it! So since the possibility of the first type is very few, the second type and the third type are quite large.
But no matter whether it is the second or third type, the possibility of touching the treasure chest will be that monsters will appear!
And the monster strength of this hidden level is often more than one piece stronger than ordinary monsters!" Wang Dong explained in a deep voice.
The so-called reward level is naturally equivalent to a "challenge level", and since it is a challenge...
To be honest, the challenge is to defeat the strong with the weak. Since the weak defeat the strong with the weak, it is naturally a very difficult map!
"So..." Kirito murmured.
"So, the main reason for the death of the Moon Night Black Cat Group is themselves! The kind of person who has no vigilance, and even the candidates who serve as shield guards force a timid girl to take responsibility..." Wang Dong leaned on the stone and closed his eyes and said, "You have seen it too. Even if you don't join them, their death will be inevitable."
"..." Kirito smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, thank you for your comfort, but... this does not mean that I can be free from any psychological burden."
"I didn't let you completely forget this." Wang Dong shook his finger. After all, [they would have died, and I joined them and prompted the subsequent series of events to cause them to die], although the result is the same, but...
You can't say [Anyway, this cancer will definitely die in the late stage. I will have no psychological burden if I kill him, after all, he will definitely die]?
"I just hope that your psychological pressure will not be so great." Wang Dong smiled and patted Kirito on the shoulder.
In fact, Wang Dong had some possibilities not told Kirito, for example...
If Kirito revealed his level from the beginning and then passed on other experiences besides his skills to the Moonnight Black Cat Group...
With the warning of the "strong" and the experience of the strong, the Moon Night Black Cat Group has a little chance of [surviving].
However, Wang Dong knew that this incident had caused great psychological pressure and trauma to Kirito. After all, Kirito was just a child of a junior high school student at that time.
Kirito joined the Moon Night Black Cat Group without any malice, and he taught them wholeheartedly, so Wang Dong felt that he could not blame all the deaths of the Moon Night Black Cat Group - as he said, the unvigilant nature of the Moon Night Black Cat Group was the biggest murderer that caused the tragedy.
The mysterious treasure chest in the maze actually ran away as if it was not brain-free. I was really not afraid of death.
Therefore, Wang Dong's purpose this time was to try to reduce the shadow of the death of the Moon Night Black Cat Group in Kirito's heart - or in other words, it was the damage caused to Kirito and reduce the burden on Kirito.
Kirito was wrong, but if he threw all the mistakes on his head, it would be unfair to him.
"Thank you." Kirito smiled gently. In fact, after so long, he had become accustomed to carrying that kind of pain, but in the face of other people's concerns, Kirito was still very moved.
"Then the next topic is the second topic, Smiling Coffin." Wang Twisted his head and said, "To be honest, this is one of the things I cannot understand the most - why do you feel guilty for the death of the person who Smiling Coffin?"
"..." Kirito was silent.
"Because you are a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations, right?" Wang Dong scratched his head and said with a wry smile.
Yes, a good citizen who abides by laws and regulations.
Or, it is strange that any human who grew up in an orderly society who is normal in his heart will not be afraid of killing people, right?
For example, Shino knew that he was killing a bank robber, and he didn't deliberately kill someone, but was shocked and shot him in a broken mood...
It also caused a psychological shadow that lasted for several years.
"How to say, I can only say that your thoughts are... the society you are in is different." Wang Dong scratched his head.
If you put your time in troubled times, in a society where you don’t kill people and people kill you, then in order to survive, let alone killing two people, even if you kill twenty people, there will be no psychological burden.
To put it bluntly, it is people from that world who have successfully shaped the inner heart of teenagers - it is also too successful.
Killing is bad, killing is wrong, even if the other party is a murderer, killing him is wrong...
Such education will cause a huge psychological shadow when a person kills.
(Not only Kirito's society, but also in our side)
"Ah, in our society, murder is an illegal act..." Kirito sat beside Wang Dong, hugged his legs with his hands, and smiled bitterly: "Even if the other party is a criminal who is extremely guilty, he must be handed over to the police for handling, otherwise what is the meaning of the existence of the law enforcement agency?"
"So this is the trouble of ordinary society." Wang Dong shrugged his shoulders. If it were any fantasy world, as long as you didn't kill people in public, there would be no problem.
"So, Lord God, don't persuade me." Kirito raised his face that looked quite haggard. Just thinking about the smile coffin and the past when he killed people, it brought him a lot of mental pressure - even greater than when he was in the Moon Night Black Cat Group.
After all, the Moon Night Black Cat Group was considered a death caused by him [indirectly], but the people in the smile coffin were killed by him [directly].
"Hi..." Wang Dong scratched his head a little depressed. This is related to people's values!
What to do?
It can't be said that it is forcibly changing Kirito's three views?
Can Kirito still be called Kirito? You can't call him Kirito a manga artist, and then draw that full of comics, right?
"Then what, I'll show you something." After thinking about it, Wang Dong had no choice but to do this.
He reached out and rubbed his hand and said, "This is a statistical data."
"What?" Kirito was stunned.
"The two smiling coffin players you killed." Wang Dong pointed to one of the information and said: "Before you killed, he killed seven players, one of the seven players, one was 17 years old, one was 27 years old, one was 40 years old, one was 32 years old, and one was 20 years old. The 17-year-old boy's parents both died. The elderly in the family rely on him for care. Due to his death, the elderly were hit and died one after another within a month, while the 40-year-old man was..."
Wang Dong little by little told the harm caused by the two smiling coffins players. The family was broken one by one, and even though they killed the players, the death of the players caused more deaths...
"This...this is..." Kirito's fists tightly clenched - it turned out that it was far more than those I saw?
"The other player has developed symptoms of murder addiction. He has killed nearly 20 players, causing it directly or indirectly..." Wang Dong lowered his head and said calmly, "More than fifty people died."
