"I...I still don't quite understand, what are you talking about?" Han Wensheng's thinking was really too fast. He was completely immersed in thinking and entered a state of forgetfulness.
But from his conversation with Lanshan, it is not difficult to see that this kind of selflessness is accompanied by a certain degree of clarity. At least for Han Wensheng now, this kind of clarity is necessary when he still needs help.
So Han Wensheng raised his hand to signal Lanshan to wait, then he fell into deep thought, and then he had a flash of inspiration and said happily: "Shall I tell you a story?"
"story?"
"Yes!" Han Wensheng obviously did not intend to wait for Lanshan's response, he directly told the story.
"I remember reading a story about a soldier who had been fighting for days. After arriving at the front line, he followed the troops to station on one side of the river. The enemy was on the other side of the river, so the river was clearly marked as a dangerous area and it was strictly forbidden to go there. But this
A soldier who loves cleanliness, during the continuous battles, the sound of river water made it difficult for him to fall asleep. The same note finally made him choose to take the risk and bathe in the river. He went there with luck, because the moon was high and the wind was dark, as long as he chose
The river section was secluded enough and the bathing speed was fast enough, so he could sleep comfortably. This kind of self-anesthesia was too fatal for a person with a clear goal. But he was lucky, he succeeded
When I came to the river, I took off my dirty clothes, hugged the river like a newborn child, and enjoyed the comfort.
It's all so wonderful, can you imagine?"
Han Wensheng paused intentionally, looked at Lanshan and asked.
Lanshan listened very carefully, and gradually became lost in thought. After hearing the words, she was shocked and replied: "Probably, I don't know much about war, but I haven't showered for several days, and my body is very dirty. It feels really uncomfortable.
"
"Hmm, it would be best if you can feel it! Then..." Han Wensheng's tone began to sink, and a bad premonition was tumbling in Lanshan's heart.
"When the soldier was happy, he suddenly discovered that there was a person taking a bath in the water near the other side of the river, and that person seemed to have discovered him. In an instant, all the identity and responsibilities returned to the naked soldier.
He swam to the shore as fast as he could, and then got the gun, which was faster than the one on the other side! But... when he aimed at the man on the opposite side who was as naked as him, he suddenly thought of why two people were on the other side of the river.
After stripping naked, just like the mortals who first arrived in the Garden of Eden, they still pick up weapons and kill each other? Huh? Why?"
Han Wensheng paused again when he said this. He looked at Lanshan and asked with the sincerity and piety of a student eager to get an answer.
Lanshan was at a loss for words. She had vaguely understood what Han Wensheng wanted to express when he went crazy at first.
yes……
Death puts a dagger between you and me, and then makes us kill each other. Why? Is it because we want to live? Or is it because we are afraid of death?
Some people may think that there is no difference between these two questions.
But if you think about it carefully, are fear of death and wanting to live really the same concept?
No, this is definitely not a concept.
Han Wensheng used a story to describe this concept, which is not easy to describe in words, but is extremely scary when you think about it carefully.
Lanshan failed to give the answer in the end, and she waited for Han Wensheng to finish the story.
Han Wensheng was a little disappointed when he saw this, but the story did not end there, he continued.
"When the soldier began to have such unrealistic, even hypocritical, even ridiculous and meaningless thoughts, gunfire rang out on the other side of the river."
story……
It ends here, an ending that is easy to guess. At least for many people, for your enemies, your kindness is irresponsible to yourself. When you tolerate others, you must sacrifice yourself.
.
So what exactly does this story want to convey?
What does Han Wensheng want to express through it?
"I read the story, not wrote it, but I remember it deeply. From the day I read the story, I began to constantly question and reflect, trying to understand the truth behind the story.
"Han Wensheng's emotions were a little out of control again. It's just that this time Han Wensheng didn't express himself in such an extreme way as self-mutilation.
"Two naked people, put aside their nationality and honor, we are just two mortals in this world, but we are still hurting each other and killing each other. Who gave us this sense of honor for killing?
?And this concept of the necessity of killing?" Han Wensheng was as melancholy as a poet drunk in the rain. He had forgotten the existence of other people in the world, and sang like the god of gods, I am a mortal.
, but loves freedom.
"Perhaps, everyone involved in the war is guilty." After pondering for a long time, Lanshan finally gave her understanding by borrowing the thinking of a little girl.
When Han Wensheng received the answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell into long thought.
This process was very long, so long that Lanshan even thought that he no longer existed, because he maintained the same posture from beginning to end, silently and silently.
until.
He suddenly opened his eyes, clapped his hands and said, "You are very smart. I think what the teacher appreciates is your intelligence that dares to speak out. So can you help me again? Just once!"
Han Wensheng's pleading tone surprised Lanshan. Her memory system was accelerating its recovery at this time, and many words were sensitively stimulating her mind, such as the teacher Han Wensheng mentioned just now.
But before that, Lanshan still gave priority to helping Han Wensheng.
"Okay, you can say it."
Han Wensheng thought for a while, but he was a little hesitant after receiving a positive reply.
But soon he stopped, looked at Lanshan seriously and asked: "How do you understand trust?"
"trust?"
"Yes, trust!"
"Why do we need to understand it? I think this is a feeling. Vocabulary judgments with strong opinions alone are not enough to fully understand and describe it." Lanshan found it a bit incredible. Han Wensheng's thinking was really too fast.
Han Wensheng said disapprovingly: "No, this is very important. It is more important than everything now. It is more important than thousands of people dying every day and wantonly insulting human nature itself like making garbage, because I just
Discover, it may be the golden key to unlocking the shackles of original sin!"
"Fetters of original sin?" Lanshan was already a little sleepy after listening, but she chose to persist.
"Well, if I have to use words to describe it... I think... maybe it's family, maybe it's self." Lanshan answered naturally without much hesitation, but she was still conscious while perfunctory.
Two representative ones were selected.
"Family and self..." Han Wensheng fell into silence again, but this time he suddenly understood. He patted his forehead and was so happy that he couldn't control himself.
"I understand! So that's it! So that's it!" Han Wensheng said and left happily, completely ignoring the questions from Lanshan.
Lanshan, who was left alone, was already very tired. Even though she had not exercised, just the mental cognition had exhausted him.
…
February 1, 1990.
With her memory revived, Lanshan saw her current appearance for the first time.
Being bloody and ugly is no longer what Lanshan cares about the most. What is most difficult for her to accept now is that the plan she proposed ultimately fell on herself.
"What is the original purpose of Project Turaya?" This was the question asked by Lanshan's teacher when she participated in the final interview in Aisinvar.
"Solving the problem of loss of continuity of progenitor-like cells." Lanshan answered fluently, but the teacher looked troubled.
This made Lanshan very nervous. She had just graduated, and she didn't want to marry into a wealthy family and then gradually forget what she had learned, because it went against her original intention of studying at the highest school in Essinvar.
"Then, do you have any unique understanding of the problem of loss of progenitor cell continuity?" The teacher did not raise his head. He looked at Lanshan's qualification report. The scores in the report were very high, but his expression seemed a little disappointed.
.
When Lanshan saw this scene, she immediately woke up. This was not an ordinary job interview at a large company within the coalition government, but the recruitment of personnel for "Turaya", a project co-ordinated by the Supreme Defense Agency of Mankind and the Supreme Academy of Science of Mankind.
This recruitment is not open to the public. Each of the recommended candidates is the cream of the crop from each college. Most of them have completed ordinary courses in a short period of time, and then achieved certain results and been recognized in model projects. Such elites
Only then will people be recommended to join Turaya.
Lanshan is not a nerd. She was born into a noble family since she was a child, so she has learned to observe people's emotions through long-term interactions with others.
Therefore, after a short period of thinking, Lanshan responded in a relatively heavy manner.
"I think this may be a disaster for all mankind, because if a species loses its continuation, then fundamentally they must choose between evolution and degeneration, but no matter which one they choose, it may accelerate the arrival of this disaster.
, but if you don’t choose, the disaster itself will also bring about the extinction of the species.”
Lanshan thought her answer this time was perfect.
As expected, the teacher stopped staring at the report and sighed, and raised his head to look at the beautiful girl in front of him with some surprise.
turn out……
Lanshan became the first candidate to be eliminated from the interview.
Lanshan, who had never expected such an ending, seemed very disappointed, so she decided to indulge herself, took a few friends to some entertainment venues, and then disappeared.
…
"Child, there are two choices before you now. Choose to join us, and I will give you the truth and resources, but from now on, you will likely pay everything for it, including yourself, and for the other choice, we will give you the truth and resources.
If you modify your memory, you will wake up in the bar and have no memory of being secretly recruited. You will not even remember the Turaya project this time, but you can enjoy the rest of your days safely.
." The old man in charge of interviews during the day sat across from Lanshan.
