Chapter 314 Constantly Killing [Immortality]

At 7:30 in the evening, Mouse Alley was noisier than usual. The drinkers who used to gather in the tavern came to the street all at once, passing among themselves that "everyone has no cheap wine to drink anymore". This was enough to cause a stir in the crowd.

The horrific facts of the riots.

The moonlight tonight is as dim as last night, and there are many more bonfire pits on the streets than usual. However, people do not dance around the bonfire as usual, but sit around the bonfire, either in a daze or with blank eyes.

Watching the flames without saying a word.

Chen Yan and Ogami walked through the streets illuminated by bonfires.

"I previously thought that most of the people are ignorant, and the reason can be attributed to low productivity and backward production relations.

The industrial revolution had just begun, and productivity was not enough to provide enough literacy for so many people, nor was there enough food for everyone."

He shrank his head to prevent the falling snow from falling into his neck.

“But I’ve learned a lot of things recently, and those things have subverted my view of the world.

I know that there are people in this country who have begun to explore the future and have been doing so for decades.

The total resources of society are certain, but they use so many resources to develop science and technology?

It naturally comes from other people.

I know that there are people in this country who have advanced agricultural and animal husbandry technologies, whether those technologies come from the so-called [foreign gods] or not.

I know that they clearly have the ability to change everything, but they still regard those abilities as authority and play with the world like worthless toys."

Ogami knew who he was talking about:

"Actually, I am also very confused, what is the purpose of what Leonardo did?

He is obviously a businessman and a politician at heart, but he appears to be just a kind-hearted philanthropist."

Mentioning this person, Chen Yan frowned:

"Believe me, the things he did are much worse than you think. The inconspicuous favors he bestowed on people are nothing compared to the benefits he can obtain."

His eyes were lonely:

"But even if I knew it, what's the use?

Someone like Leonard Adams will appear sooner or later, and even if I ask you to kill him, someone else will take his place."

Ogami said:

"In other words, the type of people represented by Leonard Adams are actually immortal - no matter what, they will always show up and do the same thing."

Chen Yan replied: "Yes..."

After he answered in the affirmative, he suddenly thought of something, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Ogami.

The bonfire illuminated the side of Ogami's face. The face with many scars was so resolute, and the bright eyes reflected the blazing flames.

"Ogami."

Chen Yan's eyes also reflected the bright flames from the bonfire.

"Is this the [immortality] you want to cut off?"

Ogami said nothing, as if thinking.

The two walked forward for a long time, until they were about to leave Mouse Lane, Ogami spoke again:

"It's a type of [immortal] that I want to cut off."

Chen Yan grinned, as if he was extremely happy:

"What you want to cut off is actually the [objective law of social development]!"

His happiness turned to excitement:

"Ogami, that's impossible!

[The objective law of social development] exists forever and cannot be cut off no matter what!”

Judging from his tone, he clearly has a huge interest in "cutting off the objective laws of social development".

Ogami knew why he was excited. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Any form of [immortality] will turn into ugly corruption.

I have fought against such monsters and learned about their greed and sorrow.

Just like the extraordinary beings of the empire, once they lose control due to possessing too much extraordinary power, a phenomenon called corruption will occur.

What I call "corruption" is the distortion of the meaning of human existence.

I have encountered all kinds of enemies who wanted to be immortal. They paid a huge price for "immortality", and their endings were all very tragic, and most of them turned into monsters that were neither human nor ghosts.

It wasn't until the day after I killed them all that I suddenly understood that the beauty I once relied on for a living, and the morality I regarded as the creed of life, all originated from "immortality".

I understood everything that day and thought that I was about to usher in a new life and that the beauty in my heart would exist forever.

But I was wrong.

The person I was loyal to died, and the morality I upheld became a joke in the face of [Immortal]. After completing the almost impossible achievement, we still have to walk the path of the forerunners again.

I think my successors will do the same."

Ogami marched against the wind and snow. The cold winter night seemed to have no effect on him, who was only wearing jeans.

Or maybe his mind is calm enough, and even the physical effects of the harsh winter cold in the empire are not enough to affect his mind.

Under the dim moonlight, Ogami seemed to be telling some ordinary family stories.

"So, Nuomiguo and I left our hometown and wanted to go to the source of immortality to find a way to [return to immortality]."

"We have been to many places based on some poor clues."

"We went to the mythical continent of Lordland, and traveled through Dolanguleg, which only exists in unofficial historical records, until we came to the end of the journey, the city of Yanan..."

He walked against the wind and spoke firmly.

“My experiences over the years have further strengthened my thoughts:

Any form of [immortality] should not exist.

People should have emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and should not be monsters who live in the world just for the sake of "immortality."

Chen Yan forcefully caught the conversation:

"People should pursue more, and should not be greedy people who exist for money and resources - just like the 'immortal' Leonardos."

Ogami nodded.

Chen Yan said:

"There is a concept called [the alienation of capital from people], for example:

When the Leonardos are increasingly lowering their bottom line in order to earn more profits, they always believe that their idea and pursuit of life is correct, and thus make more

Bottomless behavior.

The Leonardos have turned into greedy monsters, monsters who only live to "gather capital"."

Ogami's eyes were clear: "That's it."

Chen Yan continued: "The productivity was gathered together by the Leonardos, and the means of production were gradually controlled by them, so a monopoly emerged."

He pointed behind him.

That's the direction of downtown and industrial areas.

"In the coming years, monopoly will give the bosses greater power, and they will have the final say over the entire society. People at the bottom of society will rise up in rebellion because of their greed. Their resistance will succeed and fail.

Regardless of success or failure, it is a transformation of the world, and that is something worthy of awe.
