The psychologist wearing a black Gothic dress simply announced the rules, so simple that one wonders if this is a death game. Because regardless of winning or losing the croquet game, as long as the game is played, there are no additional conditions, it is a normal game.
In an ordinary croquet game, it doesn't matter if you don't understand the rules, as long as you persist until the end of three rounds.
"Then let's start." The psychologist said. She was very curious about all people's hearts. In her opinion, no matter who they are, they don't know where to stop. No matter what social status people are, they are limited by conditions. Although their behavior
They can exercise restraint, but their hearts are definitely never satisfied, so the world is full of all kinds of complaints.
As long as people don't know how to stop, then she will definitely win. So she is not nervous at all. If the world doesn't know how to stop, she will win. If someone knows how to stop, she will also win. Because she has finally seen a brand new psychological phenomenon, and she is not at a loss.
To a certain extent, she didn't know how to stop. She wanted to see if human beings could stop, so she killed one player after another, just like opening a blind box, hoping that the players would have the psychological phenomena she needed in their heads.
Arisu Ryohei didn't say a word, which made the psychologist very strange. You must know that this boy had always wanted to know the truth before. Why didn't he ask now?
"Don't you want to know the truth?"
Arisu Ryohei said: "I think, but now I must grasp the main contradiction. The main contradiction is to clear the game first, and the secondary contradiction is to accumulate experience and let future generations explore the truth."
"??" The psychologist was dumbfounded. The other person was too objective and completely different from the other person. Suddenly she realized something and said, "It must be Dulan."
"Yes."
It seemed that he was going to lose at the hands of his life mentor in the end. The psychologist sighed, and sure enough, Dulan's efforts had paid off.
Once a person controls curiosity and does not ask questions here and there, the psychologist's little tricks will be useless, and the effect of the medicine will be useless. She has prepared many stories, such as the one built by aliens to study human thoughts.
For example, humans have actually reached the future era, technology is very advanced, and human brains live in the mother earth. However, some people developed the Kingdom of the Dying because they were bored. In order to make everything more exciting, they sealed their memories.
Come here to endure hardships.
Although she doesn’t know the truth about the Land of Dying, she can make it up, and she can make it up seriously. She will tell those who seek the truth that the truth can also be a lie.
The Mad Hatter said that he was familiar with this. Duran had also said before that faith, spirit, truth, goodness, beauty, etc. were all lies.
In fact, lies don't matter. What's important is to have a certain anchor point in the uncertainty. Even the simplest thing like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west is a precious certainty, and a lie that can be believed by everyone is equally precious.
After all, Trisolarans cannot envy simple sunrises and sunsets. The certainty of Trisolarans is the connection of consciousness. Everyone can read minds and reduce social uncertainty through mind reading.
In short, whether Trisolarans or humans, they all need to find certainty in uncertainty.
Knowing the truth is also a kind of certainty, just like knowing why humans live. Countless people are asking, but unfortunately everyone's answer is different. With a meaning, everyone will clearly know why they live, and they will be much more stable.
The psychiatrist's determination is to observe people's hearts. Now she is very satisfied. He also admires Dulan's ability to change Arisu Ryohei and admits that Dulan is indeed a more powerful psychologist than her. She still needs to cooperate with medication, and Dulan
Tulan relies entirely on talking. Arisu Ryohei, a middle school boy, is the strongest result of Tulan's education.
Dulan will not take credit, not only for his own efforts, but also for the example set by others in the Land of Dying, and even less for the beautiful girl's favor for him. If the beautiful girl hadn't given Arisu Ryohei an anchor, it wouldn't have been the case.
It's easy to change him.
Arisu Ryohei is of course curious about the truth about the Land of Dying, but he is no longer in a hurry. He does not expect to complete the exploration of the truth by himself. Instead, he considers leaving the information and doing what he wants to do. His main contradiction
It's just a matter of clearing the game. So I patiently played croquet with the psychologist.
Even though I didn’t understand the rules at all, it didn’t matter. I played from dawn to dusk, and the three rounds were over.
The psychologist is very happy. It has not been so peaceful for a long time. It is really satisfying to observe a human heart that does not explore the truth. This is a person who can control curiosity. Such a person makes people feel at ease.
"Then I wish you all the best." The psychologist's game ended, and a laser fell down and took her away.
Boom! The last airship slowly falls, and all surviving players have to choose whether to stay in the Land of the Dying or return to reality.
"Then there's no need to ask? Let's get real." Arisu Ryohei and the beautiful girl looked at each other affectionately: "No matter where you are, I will find you."
"I'll wait for you!" Both of them have made a lifelong commitment.
At the beginning of the return, those who made the choice saw a Grim Reaper, a Grim Reaper holding a clown card, which seemed to be telling them: You have chosen a more difficult death game. The Grim Reaper will be waiting for them and they will meet soon.
Joker card?
Arisu Ryohei had no time to ask. He seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool and quickly lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling, and his perfect brother was looking at him happily.
"You finally woke up, but you were worried about us." said the younger brother.
It turned out that the fireworks they saw were actually meteorites. A large piece of meteorite fell in the city center, causing a large number of casualties. Arisu Ryohei and three others were also affected by the meteorite.
"Father, he went to work, and now it's a mess." said the younger brother.
"Sure enough, work is more important in his heart." Arisu Ryohei said disappointedly.
"No, he has been by your side before and only resumed work after you were out of danger." The younger brother wanted to say a few words for his father: "Actually, my father has always cared about you, but you can obviously do better.
, but he always cares about you and is not even willing to work hard, so he is so angry. This does not mean that he does not care about you."
My younger brother is much more sensible. He knows that as a son, he just needs to do well and does not need to worry about his parents.
After Arisu Ryohei heard this, he was also a little moved. Suddenly, various memories of the Land of Dying seemed to come to mind, but they were not real. Everything seemed to be a dream. There seemed to be a voice in the dream telling him that it would not work without changing and that he must make progress.
In the real sky, a girl with disabled legs is covered in green light. She has a question: "So the purpose of The Last Kingdom is to implant a progressive subconscious in the hearts of survivors?"
Duran said: "Why not stimulate the original truth, goodness and beauty in the heart? Why is human nature not inherently good? Why does it need to be implanted?"
"Human nature is neither good nor evil. Isn't it affected by the environment?"
Du Lan smiled and said, "If you say that, you will be hunted down by Mencius."
Mencius believed that human nature is inherently good, and goodness is inspired by the heart, not instilled by the outside world. The reason is very simple. If it is instilled by the outside world, you can choose to accept it or not. Some people are even born with kindness. Education is like wood.
Carved into a statue, the education of kindness becomes a carving knife, and kindness becomes a hurtful thing.
Mencius would not agree, so he believed that kindness does not need to be instilled from the outside, everyone has it inside, it just needs to be guided out.
Therefore, Mencius would definitely not agree that kindness is implanted and can only be activated from within.
Human nature is inherently good. In fact, it is to prove that kindness can only benefit people and not do any harm to people, so as to reduce everyone's rejection of kindness.
Goodness means restraint, evil means no restraint.
The psychology of restraint must be present in everyone, to varying degrees. Mencius was also very keenly aware of this. No matter who you are, there is always a time for restraint.
Arisu Ryohei also has restraint and motivation in his heart, so he was indeed activated. He asked his brother: "If I start studying now, will I still have a chance to go to college?"
The younger brother didn't know what his elder brother had dreamed about while he was in coma, but he was happy to see his elder brother working hard and said, "It's never too late to learn."
