Chapter 802 Those Unchangeable Facts No Longer Make Him Desperate(1/2)
"What you do is meaningful. In a competitive and inferior society, your actions constitute the last conscience of society. If there are no people like you to do such things, the entire society will
Gradually it will rot until it rots to the core and becomes a piece of shit. Then war will break out and everything will start over again... In that case, everyone will suffer."
"So, what you do is meaningful."
What Chen Yan didn't expect was that after he said these words, the level of emotional confusion in the air increased, which meant that Little Wolf's loss of control was even more intense than before.
"Mr. Chen, I can't see such a distant future."
Wolf Ribot's eyes swayed.
"People don't understand..."
Wolf Ribot braced himself to avoid complete chaos, and thus fell into his own confusion and struggle:
"People don't understand right and wrong... Maybe people understand more or less, but they have to accept everything because of practical reasons. The same is true for the workers in Yanan City and the same for the miners on Gaki Island. They have adapted to life...
...They changed themselves in order to adapt to the desperate life, as if...as if they were forced by the world..."
His face turned red and he couldn't say anything more than his age could accept.
Chen Yan looked at him, as if he saw himself in a trance when he just entered society.
Wolf Reibert is still telling his inner confusion:
“What I want to do is to make people have a better life and make the world a better place.
But if what I do is not accepted by others, it means nothing!
People simply don’t understand what I do... It’s the same in Yanan City, and it’s the same in the island chain!
People don’t need people like me!”
A trace of ferocity appeared on his face:
"Or...people like that, people who have been completely alienated by society, are not worth saving at all?!"
He is on the verge of losing control, but the eye in his skull has not yet been opened!
He looked at Chen Yan. At this moment, on the verge of losing control and going crazy, he calmed down:
"Is everything I insist on completely meaningless from beginning to end?"
"Those lives like mine, those who are in trouble but don't know how to save themselves, aren't they worthy of being saved?"
He has even used affirmative sentences.
Chen Yan looked at his clear and trembling pupils and sighed with complicated emotions:
"Good boy..."
Chen Yan answered the boy's question in a very serious and affirmative tone:
"I don't know the answers to these questions."
When he said these words, Wolf Ribot's brain short-circuited for a moment.
Out of control surge.
After following Wolf here, Nuomiguo and Messiah stood outside Chen Yan's cabin and were stunned.
Having stayed up all night due to mental anxiety, Osmandis, who was lying on the bed in the first-floor bedroom and peeking at what was happening on the third floor, was stunned.
Thomas Gilbert, who woke up early due to business pressure and was hiding at the end of the corridor on the third floor eavesdropping, was confused.
A thought appeared in their heads at the same time:
It’s over! This child is going to die!
What no one could have expected was that Chen Yan’s next words would pull Wolf Ribot back from the brink of complete loss of control——
With his spiritual vision turned on, Chen Yan looked into Wolf Ribot's eyes and asked him:
"Your father must have encountered this problem before. How did he solve it?"
Questions generate thoughts.
Thinking produces reason.
Reason defends the last bottom line before losing control, Wolf Ribot's eyes tremble:
"Dad...my dad...he...he is a good man..."
Chen Yan said in a positive tone:
"Yes, Mr. Ribot chose to be a good person - even though he had seen bad things and worse people in his long life, he still chose to be a good person."
Reason carried the mental bottom line and moved forward, and Wolf Ribot was suddenly pulled back from the edge of losing control!
Chen Yan called in a low voice:
"Wolf."
Wolf Ribot subconsciously covered the position of his eyes between his brows and his skull, and responded:
"yes!"
Chen Yan's tone was very calm, and the sermon-like remarks completely turned into a chat between friends under his calm tone. He just wanted Little Wolfe to understand some objective facts:
"Mr. Ribot believed that the world could be a better place, so he dedicated his life to defending justice——
This has nothing to do with the ugliness of most people or those dirty things. It is just because of his own pursuit and his own ideal.
He firmly believes that with his efforts, the world will become better.
For him, having such an ideal is enough.
He is a reporter, and his profession is destined to expose him to far more filth than ordinary people. You are his son and you understand his state best."
Wolf Ribot's distorted face underwent some subtle changes, memories of the past kept coming to his mind, and his father's words from the past kept swirling in his ears.
He remembered what his father had heard when he took him to work, and he could even recall the relaxed and solemn tone in his father's voice when chatting with his colleagues.
He remembered that his father expressed helplessness about those things but did not give up, and his colleagues’ advice to his father and the warning hidden in the advice.
He thought of his father secretly telling him behind the back of his colleagues that those things were bad and bad things must be exposed in order to be corrected.
The memory of the past is so clear, just like the moment he wakes up completely every morning, Wolf Ribot feels that his perception has been extended, extended to the depths of his memory, so that everything in the past becomes as clear and visible as what happened in front of him.
.
He saw his father running around in the market, and he seemed to be following his father as if he were a child. He remembered the whole piece of toast bread and a few pennies that his father had given to an informant. He suddenly saw clearly that
The cysts on the informant's hands were a sign of terminal illness from some malignant infectious disease, so he was very frightened and clutched his father's trouser legs.
The father listened to the informant's complaints about life, his fear of changes in his body, and his perception of everything being chaotic.
The father quietly listened to the other party's complaints and fears, and gave his own suggestions from time to time, but the informant always scoffed and retorted with his own narrow worldview and deformed values.
When he was young, he couldn't understand how his father could know such a person, how he could talk to such a person, how such a person could make friends with a person like his father, wouldn't they feel inferior?
They must be just for their father's bread, they must be just for the pennies in their father's hands.
The father must know that they are like this.
But my father didn't look down on them.
Now that he is a little older, he gradually understands that these people can help his father not only because of the pennies given by his father, but also because of his respect for them.
He didn't know if that was respect.
All he knew was that his father regarded them as human beings.
Now that I think about it, they seem to be no different from the old miners on Gaki Island...the big brother miner.
My father comes into contact with people like this every day.
But there are others.
Pictures appeared rapidly in Wolf Ribot's head, becoming increasingly clear until he was immersed in the scene.
My father was not only exposed to people like the miner brother.
There are also some...good people, some who deserve to be saved, and some who work hard to live.
What impressed him most was an old worker - the most notorious old man in the city of Yanan. They did nothing but cheat, kidnap and steal, but it wasn't like they didn't all have good people.
He remembered that old workers often secretly wrote letters to his father, telling him some things that happened in the factory. They were just words on paper, without photos or videos, so they could not be verified.
His father would reply to him every time and carefully record the clues he provided - his father would often use a small notebook filled with all kinds of clues that may or may not be traceable.
Until one time, the old worker said that a shooting incident had occurred in Xiacheng District, and provided the exact location and the list of dead persons...
Wolf Ribot thought of his father's letter.
He thought about it again and determined that his father must have been forced to leave his hometown...
My father must have really been forced to leave his hometown! He will definitely come back!
Chen Yan's voice echoed in his ears:
"He chose to be an idealist who was not understood by others. He believed that the fairness and justice he longed for would be achieved - he chose to take action and do it with his own hands."
"What makes him better than ordinary people? I think their strongest point is that they firmly believe in their ideals and practice them without being understood by others."
To be continued...
