The Big Picture
Hearing Jiang Chaoan's question, Lin Heng thought for a while.
But it's not because he hasn't thought about this issue.
It's because he is worried that his ideas will cause misjudgments.
"Master of Yan Temple..."
Finally, he began to speak in a low voice.
"...He bestows power on the world and sends divine envoys to choose extraordinary ones, without any need or asking for anything in return. From this point of view, it can be seen that the power He bestows is of great significance to Himself.
It should be said that it should be an extremely small thing with little value."
Jiang Chaoan said "hmm". It seemed that he had thought about what Lin Heng said above.
Lin Heng continued:
"So... this raises a question - since the 'Lord of the Yan Temple' has no needs or wants to ask for anything, then why does he allow some humans to become extraordinary?"
"Why do you think this is?"
Jiang Chaoan looked directly into his eyes and asked earnestly.
"The reasons I can think of are probably the following:"
Lin Heng stated expressionlessly:
"First, because the gods will eventually return to the earth, he must choose a spokesperson among humans to seize the opportunity to be ahead of his own kind."
"But this is contradictory to the fact that the 'Yan Temple' has no precepts and no demands."
Jiang Chaoan raised questions.
Lin Heng nodded, but then shook his head:
"...Yes, the 'Yan Temple' and the 'Palace Master' don't seem to expect his 'disciples' to accomplish anything, but it is also possible that the selection of the 'disciples' itself is already some kind of metaphysical 'completion state'.
"
"——In other words, what the extraordinary person wants to do is not the goal, but the existence of the extraordinary person is the purpose itself?"
Jiang Chaoan wrote down this passage in the notebook in his hand and asked Lin Heng thoughtfully.
"That's right."
Lin Heng nodded.
"Officer Lin, you said 'the following points' just now, so... what are the other possible reasons?"
"The second reason - the 'Lord of the Yan Temple' may not be aimlessly looking for extraordinary people. Maybe among the current extraordinary people - whether it is me or Yang Luo... there are some rules. Although the 'Yan Mysterious Medicine'
'It was released by the divine envoys, but the actions of the divine envoys in releasing the 'mysterious medicine' may also follow a certain pattern."
After hearing these words, Jiang Chaoan's expression became more serious.
"Officer Lin, what do you think the pattern will be?"
Lin Heng was silent for a moment, thinking about the past clues he had searched for Yang Luo, and everything that happened to him. After a long time, he murmured:
"I don't quite understand it either... But if we look at the current situation, the common rule among extraordinary people... maybe it is - 'the fate of sudden fall'?"
Jiang Chaoan understood the meaning of his words and breathed out gently:
"If you put it this way...it really feels like that..."
The smile on his face was a little awkward, but Lin Heng ignored it indifferently:
"...Finally, according to my speculation, there is another possibility——
"The reason why the 'Lord of Yan Temple' selects extraordinary people among humans is not because he wants to rely on these extraordinary people to achieve his goals. Agents, rules, etc. don't matter... in the final analysis, maybe it's just because of one thing - "
"...What is it?"
Lin Heng's eyes suddenly became extremely cold:
"...just because He wants to find some fun."
As soon as this sentence came out, even Jiang Chaoan frowned.
"...In other words, the god himself may not have any foresight. Does he just let his own interests arrange everything?"
"That's right——"
Lin Heng finally laughed, but it was a weak and bitter smile.
"——Perhaps for God, everything in this world is a game. Our human existence is an ant nest. He just curiously put a red-hot stick into the ant nest and looked at the things inside.
The ants are just running away."
Hearing this, Jiang Chaoan also fell silent.
After a long time, he showed the same wry smile:
"Ant's nest... isn't this statement a bit too nihilistic?"
"After all, we have never seen that god, we don't know his hobbies, his personality, or even what he looks like - so for us, no matter what god wants to use us for experiments
, still want to use us for fun, or want to build us into an ant kingdom... To humans who can't understand, it's actually the same.
"...Gods are too far away from humans."
Jiang Chaoan had a wry smile on his face for a long time, and finally shook his head slightly:
"——Officer Lin is indeed right."
He took a deep breath, as if to clear up his mood, and the bitter smile on his face instantly changed into a strong smile that became sunny again:
"I've almost finished asking my questions...Does Officer Lin have anything else to ask us?"
The bitter smile on Lin Heng's face also disappeared.
It's like those expressions just now were just disguised by him.
Staring at Jiang Chaoan.
Not long after, he had already spoken:
"Excuse me...has the country confirmed its cooperation with Yang Luo?"
Hearing this, there was no surprise on Jiang Chaoan's face, as if he already knew that this question must be the first thing Lin Heng asked after he opened his mouth.
He thought about it for a long time and finally replied:
"Officer Lin, did you know that a transcendent person recently appeared in Japan?"
"Is he the protagonist in that video?"
"That's right...according to the information we got from Japan, her name was Ito Mio, and she was originally just a female high school student. After she gained abilities, she killed nearly ten thousand civilians and caused the death of thousands of soldiers.
Rivers of blood flowed everywhere - but do you know what the Japanese government did in the end?"
Jiang Chaoan stared closely into Lin Heng's eyes.
Lin Heng lowered his eyes a little tiredly. He understood a lot just from Jiang Chaoan's question.
"So...the Japanese government finally chose to cooperate with that girl?"
Jiang Chaoan nodded with a serious expression:
"Not only is it cooperation... He simply wants to put her on a pedestal. The Japanese Prime Minister is preparing to make her a god in Japan's new era and an object of faith for the world. He also wants to rely on her ability to shake the world situation and turn Japan from the United States.
The subordinates became independent.
"If they succeed...then even though Mio Ito killed tens of thousands of people, the changes and progress she subsequently brought to Japan could not be achieved even if she sacrificed the lives of millions or even tens of millions of people. This
This is the existence value of extraordinary beings. Their power can bring about fundamental changes in this world!
"...In today's world, apart from Mio Ito, there are only two extraordinary people that we know that can be identified - one is Yang Luo, and the other is you. In the world-level changes,
In front of us, if we can integrate the power of extraordinary people as soon as possible and conduct in-depth research on the results related to extraordinary power, we will be able to take advantage of it earlier. Officer Lin, not only Yang Luo... but also you, are opportunities for the country. Some things...
…You still need to focus on the overall situation.”
At the end of the sentence, Jiang Chaoan's head hung slightly, as if he was pleading.
Lin Heng's face was still expressionless.
After a long time, he finally spoke:
"……I see.
"But...can you allow me to meet Yang Luo?"
This sentence made Jiang Chaoan raise his head suddenly.
He seemed to be making a difficult decision in his mind. After a while, he nodded slightly, neither affirming nor denying:
"Please wait a moment... Officer Lin, I need to ask for permission on this matter."
