Chapter 313 The joys and sorrows of people are not the same

Some drinkers left cursing one after another. Some jumped into the bar and tried to snatch away the barrels containing fake wine. Some drinkers rushed forward with anger, surrounded the brawny horsemen, and attacked them.

Fists and kicks added together.

In a moment, the tavern was mostly empty.

Chen Yan sat back at the bar and looked at the fake wine in the glass in front of him with dull eyes.

Ogami sat next to him and stayed with him quietly.

Chen Yan opened his mouth and said:

"That man, I saw that when he was drinking, his hands were shaking all the time. Before the last drink, his eyes were bulging outward and his temples were swollen. These are all signs of shock."

"I knew at that time that he was about to lose his strength."

"I also knew at the time that he didn't even know that the wine sold here was fake."

"Maybe he doesn't even know what fake wine is.

Or maybe he doesn’t even have the concept of [fake wine] in his mind.”

"He really thought the wine was okay to drink, and he really thought I was causing trouble."

"How ignorant."

"Ogami, tell me, are most of the ignorant people in Yanan City like this?"

Ogami affirmed: "Yes, and... there are many more people like this than you think."

Chen Yan said: "Isn't it sad that there are so many people like this?"

Ogami still affirmed: "Yes."

Chen Yan asked again: "Why do people like the director of the park want to build the Internet?"

Ogami didn't know about this, so he didn't comment.

Chen Yan didn't know whether he was thinking wildly or was anesthetized by the alcohol volatilizing in the air. He said to himself:

"You said that a person who has made such great achievements wants to build the Internet, but he doesn't have any desire [to make society and mankind progress] in his head? Doesn't he have any idea [to enlighten society]?"

"I think there will be more or less."

"No one can define it with simple concepts, and the same goes for the director."

"But his steps are too big. Many of his eggs will be torn off. He can't control it. If there is no one to restrain him, he will not be able to pull back if his foot falls."

"I didn't just want to restrain him. I'm not that noble of a person. Things like saving the world were never what I wanted to do. My initial thought was just to gain benefits from him."

"I just want to make money in a low-key way, just live in a small corner and live my life well. That's enough."

"But when I saw these people today - these idiots who don't even know what fake wine is, I felt very sad."

"It's like you're walking down the road and you see a dog eating its own vomit, and you think, holy shit, why is this dog so disgusting?

You will also think that this dog must be sick when it is reduced to this situation. It is really pitiful.

You would also wonder if it ate it because it didn’t even know it was vomit and only knew it was food?

Do you feel uncomfortable after thinking so much?"

Ogami replied seriously: "I will give that sick dog a good time."

Chen Yan asked in reply: "Street dogs are 9 out of 10 sick. Can you kill one when you see one?"

He went on to say: "I know this metaphor is wrong, but when I saw that guy drinking bottle after bottle of fake wine, these thoughts were all in my head."

"I pity him, I feel like he's like that dog that eats its own vomit and does something disgusting because he has nothing in his mind, and the sad thing is that he doesn't even know it's wrong.

"

"But I hate him. I think people shouldn't be so ignorant. Didn't he think that the wine was too spicier than ordinary wine? Didn't he think that the wine didn't have the mellowness of normal wine? Didn't he smell the thorn in it?

Nasal smell? Is he a fucking unconscious idiot?!"

"How should I treat such a person?

If you knock him down, I'll feel like I've bullied a poor fool.

If you let him scream, I will find him disgusting and want you to twist his head off."

"I was entangled in this fierce contradiction and felt uncomfortable, as if I was trapped in quicksand and couldn't extricate myself."

"I'm so damn pretentious."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, his eyes became dull again.

After a while, most of the people dispersed, and the various sounds in the tavern became quieter. A cold wind at night passed through the open door and swept in a few pieces of snow, blowing away the various smells in the tavern.

Chen Yancai seemed to have come to his senses and shuddered.

Ogami patted him on the shoulder: "Pity for the weak is the exclusive qualification of the strong."

Chen Yan looked lonely: "Ogami, you don't know what I'm thinking. People's joys and sorrows are not the same."

Ogami scolded: "You are so fucking pretentious."

Chen Yan didn't care, stood up and walked out of the tavern.

The two of them exited the tavern side by side, and the not-so-fresh air of Mouse Lane actually made them feel extremely comfortable.

Walking on the street without street lights, Chen Yan whispered:

"And one more thing."

"I originally thought that the Ayr people were all savages without morals - in my original understanding, their living environment determined that they must be fierce and must ignore a large part of what I defined as morality.

nationality."

"The first person who changed my mind was Marlena. No matter what she was like before, her children gave her salvation. I saw the best side of human nature in her. That's why I felt that the world was still there.

Saving facts.”

Ogami didn't know what he wanted to express.

"The second person who changed my mind was Gotlinde. She showed a beautiful character that I could never imagine - a beautiful character defined by my values ​​- keeping one's word, which is almost the hardest thing to do.

One of them."

Ogami reminded: "But you still lied to her just now."

Chen Yan shook his head: "Really not."

"Before today, even with Mr. Mogwen's will, I was not in a hurry to save Vivian. I even wanted to keep her in the zoo temporarily, waiting for the network to open, and she would become a spare part.

It’s one of my trump cards to invade the director’s Internet world.”

Although Ogami didn't know the specific incident, she probably guessed the meaning of his words. She frowned and said, "But I don't think you are as... cruel as you said."

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, Ogami, I made such a decision, and I feel guilty because of it.

I ignored Mr. Mogwen's immortal will in an opportunistic way and failed to rescue his daughter in time. This was my selfish intention and I feel deeply guilty for it."

Ogami had nothing to say.

Chen Yan continued: "This morning, I did another thing. That thing made me no longer need to use Vivian, so I could rescue her and give her to Mr. Mogwen.

An explanation.”

Ogami felt that something was wrong with Chen Yan's state. He put his hand on his shoulder and whispered: "If you continue like this, sooner or later you will drive yourself crazy."

Chen Yan lowered his head, and snowflakes fell, quickly turning the top of his head white.

"I always do things I don't like to do in order to survive, and it goes against my own heart."

"Ogami, it's very painful for me to live like this."
