It felt like questioning Xu Cheng and asking him why he didn't agree with his point of view.
Generally speaking, Xu Cheng would calm down at this time and analyze and judge the flaws in what the other party said through the other party's voice.
But unfortunately, things are different this time.
When Xu Chengjing stopped to listen to the scholar's voice, all he could hear was blank.
【……】
Perhaps in the minds of scholars, even the concept of "blank" does not exist, and all that is left is endless nothingness.
Not "darkness", but "nothing".
Xu Cheng had heard that feeling many times.
The scholar was absolutely right. After he mastered his own link-type ability, the first sword he swung was to cut "his own connection."
As a result, scholars actively cut off all "contacts" between themselves and the outside world.
This is actually a state... that is difficult to explain.
Why don't you come and understand?
…
What changes will occur when all a person's connections are "cut off"?
Pay attention, this man’s name is Xiaoshuai.
Xiaoshuai is an employee of a company. He has parents, a lover, and a daughter.
Xiaoshuai goes to and from get off work normally every day and lives a normal life.
When Xiaoshuai's own "connection" was cut off by scholars, his life actually...
Nothing has changed.
Yes, nothing has changed.
The act of "cutting off contact" is not simply "erasing the sense of existence", so it does not make Xiaoshuai a transparent person.
The real "change" that happened to Xiaoshuai was actually "no change".
To be more precise, it should be "Xiao Shuai will never change again."
Is it easy to understand in this way?
When all the connections between Xiaoshuai were cut off, the connection between him and the people around him no longer existed.
But Xiaoshuai is still here!
As a result, although Xiaoshuai's parents, lover, daughter, and colleagues still have the same relationship as before, their essence is just a "setting".
Let’s use my daughter as an example.
The only connection between Xiaoshuai and his daughter was originally supposed to be that of "father and daughter."
Ever since his daughter spoke out, Xiaoshuai has established a relationship with his daughter.
He grew up with his daughter, and the relationship between him and his daughter gradually deepened.
The relationship between them is called "father and daughter".
But when the scholar's knife was cut off, the connection between Xiaoshuai and his daughter was no longer there, and the relationship called "father and daughter" no longer existed.
Instead, there is a setting called "Father and Daughter".
It's not a relationship, it's a setting.
If the setting is like this, then there is no other reason.
For example, at an ordinary intersection in an online game, we saw a blacksmith who could repair equipment.
You won't wonder why this blacksmith can repair your top artifact.
That was legendary equipment from another world. How could a little blacksmith on the roadside repair it?
——You are not curious.
Because the settings are like this and the rules of the game are like this, then you have to think that this is "right".
Xiaoshuai who has been cut off from his "contact" will actually become such a "setting".
His name is Xiaoshuai and he has a complete character background.
That's all.
…
To sum up.
In short, the scholar's knife can cut everything into a "setting".
The thing that was struck did not disappear, but became a fact that would not change no matter what.
People, things, everything will become a fact.
The scholar's first sword cut himself first.
Ever since, scholars have become a setting.
In the setting, he is the clerk of the Star Chamber of Commerce, handling all the messy documents for the president and the others every day.
Everyone in the Star Chamber of Commerce headquarters thinks so.
The setting of scholars should be like this, so no one will care about an established "fact" at all.
This also explains why no one paid attention to the scholar, and even the little girl, the president, did not make any subsequent probability predictions for the scholar.
We can even say that after a scholar cuts his own sword, the "person" of the scholar no longer exists.
He is a setting.
In this setting, he lurked into the Star Chamber of Commerce;
In this setting, he is waiting for opportunities;
In this setting, he launched a rebellion;
In this setting, he did everything he did with a knife!
…
In this setting, the scholar asked Xu Cheng a question:
"Is it necessary to stop and smell the flowers?"
Xu Cheng fell silent.
He could actually quickly reply: "It is necessary."
Because for Xu Cheng, some trivial things in life are part of what he loves.
Xu Cheng is a human being.
The scholar who asked him this question was a "setting".
For a "setting", is it necessary to do everything that does not exist in the setting?
What does that mean for a "setting"?
If there is no floral fragrance in the setting itself, then there is actually no need to smell flowers.
But like that...
But is that really right?
Xu Cheng's brows furrowed.
He took the initiative and slowly released his hands that were holding the scholar and the flesh-and-blood blade.
Compared to continuing to beat up a setting, Xu Cheng has more important things to prove.
Like the president's girl, Xu Cheng also walked up to an office worker.
The big, muscular body was covered in bloodstains, and there was even a horrific wound that had stopped bleeding.
But the office worker didn't seem to see anything. He moved his steps slightly and walked past Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng took half a step back and stopped in front of the office worker again.
When the office workers walked around, Xu Cheng stopped him again.
No matter how good-tempered a person is, he will probably become angry when faced with such provocations repeated three or four times.
But the office workers kept avoiding Xu Cheng while walking towards their destination.
I think so.
A "setting", if there is no element of "anger" in the setting, how can "angry" actions be born?
Xu Cheng spoke.
He held down the office worker and asked in a deep voice:
"Are not you afraid?"
The office worker was puzzled, "What?"
"I."
Xu Cheng spread his arms.
"Look, I'm covered in blood and there are stab wounds on my body."
"oh oh!"
When the office worker heard this, he suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Ah! You are injured! Let me call an ambulance for you!"
Obviously, there is an element of "sympathy" in this office worker's setting.
But since Xu Cheng had not triggered this setting before, the office worker did not perform this action.
It's like a mission NPC in the game world.
According to the setting in the game, a certain princess is trapped in the castle by the devil, and her life is in danger at all times.
She is waiting for your rescue, time is urgent.
But as long as you don't go to that castle, and as long as you don't trigger the mission setting about rescuing the princess, then the mission will not start.
You can fish all day elsewhere.
This is the setting.
Not a single change.
…
Xu Cheng raised his head slightly and glanced at the humanoid intersection, looking at the inherent settings around him.
