[Well~ I have a rather pointed question. You may find it a little offensive, but I’m still very curious. 】
Um?
Raising his eyebrows and looking at Ariana who was sitting next to him with a curious look on his face, Ning Feng stopped writing and looked at her strangely.
If you have something to say, you can't say it directly, you have to beat around the bush... What's your conspiracy?
"If you want to ask anything, just ask directly."
[Exactly...why do you have to worry about protecting ordinary people?]
The original demon, who is inherently evil, can understand the thoughts of mortals, but in her heart, she actually has no understanding of what humans are doing now.
[Looking at the current situation, isn’t it the best choice to concentrate all forces to destroy the invaders? Why should we allocate so much force to protect mortals? 】
[You have also felt it, they are not grateful for the protection given to them, and some even have strong negative emotions. 】
Therefore, she became increasingly puzzled.
[We have already reached such a critical situation, why do we still have to do such a thankless thing? 】
Sacrificing a small group of people is to save more people.
For an individual, this is a difficult thing to solve, but for a group of people, especially when it is facing an existential crisis, this does not seem to need to be considered.
Ariana has seen many similar situations in the past, and mortals have made similar decisions.
No matter what they say or do, the final result is the same.
The continuation of the ethnic group is above all else.
This impulse is almost rooted in their instincts.
But this time, mortals made completely different choices from the past.
They want everyone to live!
This is indeed romantic, but it is not realistic.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Feng completely put the pen aside on the table this time, then raised two fingers in front of Ariana and said:
"Before I answer your question, I want to point out two errors in your sentence."
"First of all, this is not my personal choice, but a decision made by everyone in the Watch Club, or in other words, a judgment made by all the awakened people."
"If there are no awakened ones, ordinary people will be persecuted by extraordinary creatures, and if there are no ordinary people, there will be no adequate supply of awakened ones."
"Ordinary people rely on the awakened ones for protection, and the awakened ones come from ordinary people. The relationship between the two has been inseparable from the beginning."
"In the final analysis, there is no difference between ordinary people and awakened people. Regardless of whether we have power or whether we can master magic, we are all mortals."
"So, we are not saving ordinary people, we are just saving ourselves."
Pressing a finger, Ning Feng continued to explain to the thoughtful devil:
"Secondly, the more crisis comes, the more thankless things have to be done."
"The reason is the same as before, to protect ourselves."
"Or have you ever thought about a question? Have you ever considered how close the relationship between these awakened people is to ordinary people?"
"The purpose of the creation of the Watch Society is to protect ordinary people who are powerless. If now we can't even protect ordinary people, what do we expect to be able to protect?"
"From a certain perspective, what we do is not for selfless sacrifice, we just selfishly want to protect our own souls."
[It’s an interesting angle, but have you noticed it? What you say now is more like convincing yourself. 】
Startled for a moment, Ning Feng smiled and shook his head.
"maybe."
Turning back, he picked up the pen again and continued writing.
Glancing at the story Ning Feng was writing, Ariana blinked before speaking, but in the end she resisted the urge to ask.
She looked at his side face for a long time, then suddenly changed her posture and smiled.
Narrowly, he leaned over and asked:
[So, after all the high-sounding explanations, what’s the real reason in your mind? 】
As his hands kept moving, Ning Feng suddenly laughed:
"Sure enough, I still can't deceive you."
【Of course, I am the woman who understands you best!】
Staring at Ning Feng's gradually brightening scarlet eyes with a smile, there was also fire in her eyes.
He said:
"The real reason... of course is because all of this is a mistake made by the gods, and the consequences should not be borne by mortals."
Rebellion of Saints?
No, all of this was a disaster caused by the gods from the beginning.
【Disaster of the gods】
"If I don't protect them, I will feel like I have lost. This feeling will make me... very unhappy."
Ning Feng laughed, with only coldness and arrogance in his smile.
He said:
"So, this is really not for righteousness, but just for myself."
Staring at the raised corners of her mouth, Ariana suddenly burst out laughing and nodded:
【Since you said so, then I’ll just believe it. 】
Without explaining anything, Ariana raised her hand to touch Ning Feng's cheek, and then asked with a smile:
[So now, my dear director, what are your plans next? 】
"wait."
After writing the last line, Ning Feng gently put down the pen and admired the entire script playfully:
"The script has been written, the stage has been set up, and even the extras are in place. Now...we just have to wait for the shy leading actors to take the stage."
I'm curious……
The perfect stage for this scene is in front of you.
How long can you greedy guys endure this?
…
…
"impossible!"
Under the scorching sun, the monster, with most of its body melted from the inside out, roared crazily upward.
"Do you think you've already won!?"
"No! You will pay for your arrogance!"
This is a saint, a saint who belongs to extraordinary creatures.
As the strongest and most noble existence of a race, it enjoys the support of the race and stands at the pinnacle of the mortal world.
It doesn't accept this outcome.
After waiting for thousands of years in the endless darkness, I finally saw the dawn of the return of the gods. The dawn was already close at hand, but now there are people who want to destroy even this hard-won hope.
Unforgivable.
Absolutely unforgivable!
But no matter how much it rejects reality, the polluted sun disc never lets it go, mercilessly emitting light and heat, burning its body, soul and everything else.
The magic power in the body gradually no longer belongs to oneself, but is forcibly controlled by the other party, burning with oneself as firewood.
"No, it shouldn't be like this."
Death is already close at hand.
When hope is about to come, despair also comes uninvited.
And when death was about to come, at the ultimate moment of despair, it heard a voice that had been away for thousands of years.
The voice of supreme majesty echoed in my heart!!!
