"You two, please don't be formal. If you have any needs, just ask us and we will try our best to meet them."
"The only requirement is to stop monitoring us. It's not good to rest when others are watching you."
"Ms. Mi, please rest assured. There is no need to do this now. Of course we will stop monitoring."
"How do I confirm that you have stopped."
"Ha~ I think this trust should be given to Miss Mi. Otherwise, how can the subsequent cooperation proceed smoothly?"
"That's right. After all, I can't sign a contract with you. I can only blindly trust you."
"Miss Mi, please rest assured that I will always keep my word and will do my best for my allies."
"Well, you go and do your work."
"Then you two please help yourself."
The middle-aged man's voice disappeared from the speaker.
"Is he gone?"
"We should go, but we must find someone else to keep an eye on us."
"Do you really believe them?"
"Of course I don't believe it. How can such an organization that does bad things have any credibility? Even if it keeps its promises, it's because the situation doesn't allow for breaking the contract. But we have no other way now. We can only hope that they will get some manpower for us."
"Can't we go find those bounty hunters?"
"Where to find it? Just ask on the street? Even if you find it, can you guarantee that it is more reliable than these guys?"
"Then let's hire some from both sides~"
"Don't be ridiculous, how can I have the money to hire someone?"
"Use gold~"
"Do you think we are not conspicuous enough? You want the whole city to know that two strange guys suddenly appeared here and paid with precious metals in the digital age?"
"Uh...there seems to be this problem~"
"So don't think too much. I can only hope that they are not so unreliable and can at least hold on until we produce enough antibodies... Wait a minute, it's over. I overlooked an extremely important issue!"
"What's the problem?"
"What will happen after the antibodies are produced? Who will spread them? What's the point of just relying on the two of us? Isn't it the same as before?"
"Ah! Why didn't you think of it earlier?"
"I forgot about it after putting it on!"
"What should we do now? Continue to make conditions with them for help?"
"No, you must not mention the specific situation of the world over there to these people, otherwise it will lead to wolves entering the house. These guys set up this kind of organization just to fight for power and profit. If they see the undeveloped world, they will definitely move there. Who will do it?
After all the hard work here, you don’t think they are fighting for the citizens here, do you?”
"What if their ideals are higher?"
"You really don't understand human nature, Yanghua~"
"Why is it human? Human nature has a dark side and a bright side~"
"That's true, but these two sides will only be fully expressed in adversity. Once the environment becomes mild, the dark side will gain the upper hand, and all lofty ideal goals will fall. The dragon-slaying warrior will be defeated after slaying the dragon.
Then he will turn into a dragon."
"Wait a minute, this isn't right! A good environment can make bad people good! Why are you doing the opposite now?"
"You have to understand a premise, Yanghua. A 'good environment' that can turn bad people into good people is a place like the Dream City where bad people who don't want to be good can be beaten to the ground. It's not like that world where there is nothing.
.The wolf turns into a dog because of the existence of people. If there are no people, what will be the consequences if you throw a wolf into the sheepfold?"
"Ah...this..."
"Human nature is very complex, but it has been studied thoroughly for a long time. This thing can only be done through observation and induction, and there is no way to experiment. You can't always use experimental situations to apply them to reality. It's completely different."
"It seems I'm still not good at studying~"
"You are much better than me, but you are too far away from reality. Research results are often unreliable because there are problems with the experimental settings, and the conclusions drawn are naturally wrong. You have to try multiple methods and cannot rely too much on the data.
.Human thinking is chaotic and cannot be described accurately using mathematics, not even the goddess can."
"Ah? Then the goddess can't predict what a person will think?"
"Yes, in fact goddesses cannot predict anything, but they can deduce the future based on existing conditions, even if the future possibilities are too many for us to imagine."
"This is really different from what I thought..."
"So don't believe in fatalism. The future can be changed, unless your destiny is arranged by a goddess, like me."
"Ah? Amy, your fate... has been arranged? Wouldn't that be very unfree? You are called the Statue of Liberty!"
"Yet I feel free."
“Can an arranged future still be called freedom?”
"But this future is what I want~ I don't need to pursue freedom, freedom comes to my door on its own initiative, isn't it good?"
"Uh... I can't understand what it means to have freedom delivered to your door..."
"To put it simply, my dream is to live with a large group of beautiful girls. This kind of life is the freedom I want. So my sisters arranged such a fate for me, and I will inevitably encounter it constantly in the future.
All kinds of beautiful girls and deceive them to go home and realize my dream. If they don't arrange it this way, then I will not be able to realize my dream, and I will become imprisoned by reality like a mortal. How can I still do it?
Is that called freedom? Being able to realize your dreams is freedom~"
"Well... you seem to be right in saying that. Why do you always refresh my outlook on life..."
"Take you for example. Before you met me, no one restrained you. Do you feel free?"
"Well...it's pretty free, right?"
"You're free ass. How many things have you done that you don't want to do in order to survive? You don't have any idea?"
"Woo..."
"But after meeting me and being raised by me..."
"What does raising mean?"
"Then support?"
"Let's keep it..."
"In short, after I take care of you, you have the opportunity to do what you really want to do, and you don't have to waste your life on meaningless things in order to survive. Freedom is not about doing whatever you want, but not having to do what you don't want to do.
This is what Lingmei and the others told me from the beginning. Whether it’s a kite or an airplane, you need a guide or a navigation system to fly higher. Without navigation, there’s nothing else but hanging on a tree and crashing into a mountain.
Result?"
"Oh~ I'm convinced by you..."
"So you don't need to doubt my identity as the Statue of Liberty. I am the freest person in the world. If you become my family, you can be as free as me."
"Then I can use my power to bully others and do bad things freely..."
"Okay~ If you want to do bad things, just throw you into the Paradise. It's hell for good people, but it's heaven for real bad people~"
"Let's forget about that place! I still want to be a good person!"
