Looking at the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Dongfang Ruo quietly listened to the rest of Lin Sen's story.
…
Is the mysterious successor really dead?
Of course not, not only did he not die, but he also accidentally broke into a paradise-like village on his way to escape.
At first, he just went to find a place to hide from the world, but he didn't expect that he would witness a whole new level of human civilization here!
And it was this discovery that completely changed the future of this successor and even the entire human world.
…
"You don't want to tell me that this guy who was originally used as a chess piece ended up being a hidden third person, right?" Dongfang Ruo heard a problem.
Lin Sen smiled slightly and replied: "It's very close, but maybe even he himself doesn't know what he has brought to this world."
Dongfang Ruo was startled and thought: 'No way? Is this the truth?'
At this time, I heard Lin Sen continue to talk.
…
This so-called new level is described in Lin Sen's findings as a social state that has no explicit regulations and laws and is completely dominated by customs and literacy itself.
This is very similar to the ultra-high-quality society in the utopian concept.
Generally speaking, there is no law in this village, but everyone lives according to a fixed guideline. Everyone respects and maintains this atmosphere, which makes the village achieve the ideal of a utopia to a certain extent.
state.
Everyone here is very hard-working and very satisfied. Everyone helps each other and is good neighborly. Although they seldom communicate with each other, they can still bring progress in civilized literacy to the village itself through observation and thinking, and pass on from generation to generation.
According to legend, the complete body is like a pure whole that cannot be desecrated.
…
"This... this is a bit false..." Dongfang Ruo listened more and more bizarrely, and she became more and more doubtful about the credibility of the story itself.
However, Lin Sen did not explain anything and just said lightly: "This is the crux of the matter. What we cannot understand and accept often does not exist in the current world, we have not experienced it, or we only have longing for it."
The things in the world, these are our awe for reality, and at the same time, we face our own evil."
Dongfang Ruo: "Isn't it right to face one's own desires? Is it possible that the people in this village are all monks?"
"A monk?"
"That's right. Otherwise, how else can we understand the so-called utopian world that transcends levels by following the direction of the wind and eliminates all evil? Isn't that just the penance of suppressing desires?"
Lin Sen was stunned by the question, but he shook his head and smiled: "Maybe you are right, these people are indeed no different from ascetics at the spiritual level, but I think if you continue to listen, they won't
I think so."
Dongfang Ruo frowned: "Oh?"
…
Facing such an unreal world in their eyes, the successors mistakenly thought for a long time that they were dead and that this was the kingdom of heaven.
But when he recovered from his injuries, he began to discover that this was not a kingdom of heaven, but a group of people who actually existed in this world. It was just that their way of living and thinking was so strange that it was difficult for the successor to accept it immediately.
.
The village, which was also wary of and ostracized the successor, decided to expel him after discovering that he had recovered from his injuries.
However, the successor believes that this is a rare opportunity to save himself and the world. He needs to understand and recognize this concept to help him complete the evolution of his thinking and consciousness, and then bring this gain to the world, and try his best to
to create a better world.
Perhaps this is the difference in philosophy between ordinary people and royal heirs.
If it were Lin Sen, he would probably have stayed away from here long ago and tried to find a way to go home. How could he try to stay here?
But it's not that easy to stay, at least the successor failed at first.
However, in order to give himself a chance to try, he locked himself in a special meditative state, used silence to relieve the people here of being wary of him, and then used what he gained from thinking to obtain the possibility of staying here.
This method sounds weird, but it really works.
The heir really stayed and lived here for three years.
However, within three years, the successor discovered an extremely serious problem, that is, although he could see the ordinary actions between these people, he was still unable to understand the beliefs behind this harmony.
The silence made him even more miserable, so he began to ask questions to the most respected elders in the village, and every question was extremely harsh.
His first question was: "Why are everyone so satisfied? Instead of fighting and hating each other for surplus value?"
The answer the elder gave him was a morning of waiting, and a glass of water after waiting.
After the thirsty heir drank the glass of water, the anxiety in his heart disappeared. When he looked at the elder again, the elder said: "This is water from the well in my yard. You can drink as much as you want, but you will
Do you hate me because you don’t have your own yard and well yet?”
The heir was stunned for a moment, and then he said in a deep voice: "The hatred is not there, because you generously shared all your things with me, but in order to make my life better, I may feel envious because of this, and
Motivate yourself to work hard to earn your own yard, and then build yourself a well."
The elder smiled after hearing this. He nodded, then stood up and said, "Then, if I give all this to you now, will you still work hard?"
The successor did not expect that the elder would give such a reply. He shook his head and said: "Thank you, but all this belongs to you. I can't get it for nothing."
The elder laughed again: "But my house was built by people who are good at building, and the well was dug by people who are good at drilling. Every plant and tree is left by others. I am just what you call something for nothing. Now I
There’s nothing wrong with forwarding it to you, right?”
The successor was slightly startled. He obviously did not understand the meaning of the elder's words, so he asked: "Then you must have helped these people who are good at construction and drilling, otherwise how could they be willing to build for you?"
What about digging a well?”
The elder thought for a while and then replied: "I understand the exchange you are talking about, but what I am best at is observation and thinking. I will share these things with everyone. Maybe this is why I can live here.
Bar."
After hearing this, the successor understood. He originally thought that the elder had escaped from the world he was familiar with. In fact, feelings are still the same social form in the final analysis, but the value of exchange itself is blurred.
After eliminating the concept of currency, there is nothing to say about the elders who exist as professors living in mansions.
But if this village is really that simple, it would be too ordinary.
The elder paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, I only moved in recently. Before that, there were a group of people who were good at singing and dancing living here. They liked the big room here so that they could
They played and danced to their heart's content, but unfortunately the air here was too humid and their instruments were damaged, so they moved out. I wanted to change my environment and think, so I moved in."
After hearing these words, the heir felt different again.
Because what seemed like a casual and simple sentence was actually what the elder was telling him. What was being eliminated here was not just money, but also a kind of estrangement and wariness between people.
This magnificent manor seems to be a prize reserved for those who have made outstanding contributions, but it is actually a work of art left by those who are good at construction according to the elders. However, unlike ordinary works of art, its own attributes have not been changed.
Disappeared, anyone can choose to live here and take what they need, but surprisingly, no one really does it. Even in the past three years of observation, the successor found that most people are used to living in the place they like.
place, instead of following the common thinking and blindly pursuing luxury.
As the elder in front of me said, the air here is too humid, which actually makes all this luxury less attractive.
At least those people who were good at singing and dancing left here to protect the instruments.
This feeling is very strange...because it is very familiar, so familiar that everyone has had fantasies, but they also all know that this is unrealistic and empty talk.
Co-produce, co-own, and co-share.
This is an idealized world.
But it is a pity that when the labor force is abundant enough.
When surplus value appears, some people will always start to be lazy, start to be greedy, and start to figure out how to make themselves richer.
This is an inevitable pattern.
Because we are smart, sooner or later we will invent a machine to take over the land that was originally cultivated by tens of thousands of people, and farmers who fail to rise to a higher level in time are destined to be "annihilated" by progress itself.
This is a very subtle upward force, and in order to ensure fairness and justice, it is inevitable that something like currency will appear to measure the value of personal production.
They may not be the fairest, but they are the most effective proof that has been proven in practice.
But in the village that the successor is looking at now, they have no such thing as currency, let alone a clear measure of individual value, so why don't they generate jealousy and anger?
Wouldn’t the builder feel that his work is hard and his contribution is greater, and he should be respected more, instead of being on an equal footing with those musicians who sing and dance all day long?
The heir came with doubts, expecting to get answers.
But when he left, he was even more confused...
…
Dongfang Ruo yawned when he heard this and said: "You said it is still a huge social problem that has no boundaries. Can this kind of thing be understood in just a few words?"
Lin Sen smiled: "I am only stating the details of this story. In fact, its focus is on the day when the last successor left."
"Then skip the details and go straight to the key points. Unlike you, I don't like to study Capital or anything like that."
Lin Sen nodded: "Well, okay, I'll just talk about the key points."
…
The silent heir who still gained nothing slowly began to suspect that what he saw was just an oil painting frozen in a picture frame, which showed an expectation but was lifeless.
Is it the high quality that maintains the harmony, or are invisible threads controlling this puppet show?
The heirs began to rationalize everything they saw.
Until one day, his whereabouts were finally discovered.
The empire did not forget this successor with royal blood because five years had passed since the coup. They finally found him.
It's just that at that time, he was already half crazy and half stupid, unable to speak, and seemed to be completely out of his mind.
In view of this, the captain of the imperial royal guard who came to arrest him decided to take him back to the imperial court first, but before leaving, he did something that he should never do, that is, he ordered the entire village to be wiped from the world.
remove.
The reason for the massacre of the village was actually just because the villagers gathered around curiously to watch this group of heavily armed imperial guards.
…
Dongfang Ruo stiffened when he heard this: "Hey, isn't this too cruel? It's just a fugitive caught, but can he massacre the village?"
Lin Sen also smiled bitterly, and said: "One of the two most notorious armies of the Zansbol Empire is the Royal Guards, known as the Hand of the Empire. They are the most loyal eagle dogs under Queen Zansbol.
Style has always adhered to the ruthless principle of eradicating the roots, not to mention that what they mobilized to find is the main bargaining chip of the rebel army that once attempted to shake the imperial power. Who can guarantee that there is no relationship between this village and this successor?"
"So? Just because one of them couldn't prove that this existence had nothing to do with this heir, they concluded that they were related, and then massacred the village?" If Dongfang hadn't seen it before, he would still find it puzzling.
Lin Sen nodded: "Well, at least in this story, there are no survivors in this village."
Dongfang Ruo: "Then this story is over?"
Lin Sen shook his head again: "On the contrary, this is just the beginning of everything. As I said, the focus of this story is when he left this village."
"Oh? Then keep talking, I'll listen."
…
The massacre of villages is completely routine for a group of imperial eagle dogs.
But they never imagined that it would be this move that would ultimately ruin the empire and even the entire human society.
…
"Stop, stop, stop! Such a big stunt again? Do you know how to tell stories? Can you be more specific? Be clear?" Dongfang Ruo looked at Lin Sen dissatisfied.
Lin Sen smiled awkwardly: "Okay, okay, then I'll talk from the perspective of the successor."
…
The successor was not directly executed after returning to the imperial court. After all, his body was filled with the blood of Her Majesty the Queen. However, he was not forgiven for this, even though it was not his fault.
He is also a victim.
But in the end, in order to maintain the supremacy of imperial power, he was put on trial and sentenced to life imprisonment. He would spend the rest of his life repenting for the numerous crimes he had committed against the empire by facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes.
This sounds very ridiculous to the successor, but it is the best result.
He already hated this world, so it was a relief to be able to hide away and think quietly.
But if things ended like this, everything that followed would not have happened.
One day ten years after the successor was punished, due to the accession of Queen Tarasha to the throne, a large number of serious criminals received reduced sentences to a certain extent, and the successor who had been forgotten in the corner for ten years was kicked out inexplicably.
Prison and become a free man.
The heir who returned to the free world had already realized a lot through these ten years of thinking, but he still wanted to understand the world more deeply, so he left quietly and disappeared since then.
But another ten years later, the Tarasha dynasty ushered in the first round of restructuring while reaching its peak.
Known as a legendary figure, Rusty Steven Lowe showed his talents and participated in politics as a businessman. In just one year, he rejuvenated the empire.
But few people know that there is a teacher behind Luo'er, and this teacher is the successor to the man who was used as a weight and sentenced to ten years of punishment, and then lived in the world for ten years.
…
"This... how is this possible? Are you saying that the main reformer behind the reform of Queen Tarasha, which was a sensation in history, was a person who was forgotten as a traitor and was operating in secret?" Dongfang Ruo only now began to understand Lin.
There is something to be explained behind this bunch of scattered stories.
Lin Sen nodded: "Well, and I am now very sure that this man abandoned by history is the leader of the third force that is dormant behind all this."
"Hmm!??!" Dongfang Ruo was shocked when he heard this. This was no joke.
…
But it is a pity that the restructuring of Lusteven Loer ended in failure. After the end of the Tarascha Dynasty, the empire has since entered an irreversible decline.
As for how the empire collapsed after the decline and how the coalition rose, I will not go into details.
But it is worth mentioning that behind the whole incident, a long-dormant seed of destruction bloomed at the same time as the empire fell, and brought about the Dome Age of mankind. Humanity did not prosper again because of the emergence of the United Government.
On the contrary, in just fifteen years, a series of disasters have struck one after another.
Looking back on this now, if there is no one behind the scenes, it is obviously impossible, but who it is is always a huge mystery.
…
"It's impossible, right? How come we never noticed it?" Dongfang Ruo expressed doubts in his eyes, because it all sounded too far-fetched.
Suppose that whoever has made it to today step by step cannot be overthrown just because you suddenly mentioned a story that has no empirical evidence, right?
However, Lin Sen's words left Dongfang Ruo speechless.
"The reason why we didn't realize it is very simple, because we are all in the game, or... you and I are both followers of this successor in disguise, and we ourselves are the third force!"
Dongfang Ruo was startled after hearing this, then frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head suddenly as if he wanted to refute.
But when the words came to his lips, Lin Sen suppressed them all.
"Don't believe it? Then why don't you think about it carefully, what is the purpose of establishing the genius class in the first place? Is it to save the world? Or is it to accelerate the destruction of the world?!"
Dongfang Ruo was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lin Sen with a blank look on her face.
