The scholar's final blow is delivered without feeling.
This sword had a great impact on Wei Lan, because it plunged the entire Wei Lan into an era of silence.
Extraordinaries were able to grow wildly, while ordinary people became much more indifferent.
They begin to no longer care about things around them that have nothing to do with their purpose.
This situation cannot be evaluated as "good" or "bad" at all, because "human" is actually a kind of life that is very good at living.
Or we can say that "life" is a very tough existence.
What do "people" need to live?
Food, water, shelter, clothing.
enough.
You only need to maintain these things to meet the minimum level of "living".
Really good.
people.
How can people live so simply...
…
“That’s great!”
The old man sat on his favorite sofa and looked at everything in front of him calmly.
He had just finished watching the game between Qianqian and the curator and returned to his residence.
It is said to be a residence, but it is actually a small villa in Haicheng, where the old man usually manages his property.
If Qianqian is the only ordinary person on the blue who has not been affected by the scholar's final knife, then the old man should be the first ordinary person to get rid of the influence of the scholar's last knife.
He was the first among ordinary people to notice the era of silence, and he was also the first to break through the shackles.
At that time, the old man was chatting with all the people who were working under him.
After getting rid of the era of silence, the old man noticed something strange about the group of people in front of him.
He suddenly exclaimed:
“That’s great!”
Everyone was puzzled, but they didn't ask.
Because it makes no sense.
In the era of silence, when the old man's words and deeds do not affect themselves, they will not care about the old man.
This is for sure.
But the old man's soliloquy continued.
"You know? People can live very simply."
"Because to maintain life at a minimum, you don't need much."
Many of the people in front of the old man are elites from all walks of life in Haicheng.
They can play with the old man and even be invited to his home for a small gathering. Naturally, they are a very interesting group of people.
But after the era of silence came, the old man clearly felt that the people in front of him had become "boring".
That does not work.
The old man continued: "But is that enough?"
"Is that enough? Ah!"
The old man's low roar awakened the spirit of the group of people in front of him.
In the age of silence, they didn't know what the old man's words meant. They even felt that these words had no meaning to them.
This is the terrible thing about the silent era.
People become indifferent and turn into horrible creatures driven purely by "purpose".
Not even "life" counts.
The old man lay on his back on the sofa, looked at the ceiling, and said slowly:
"I asked you, would you go out and throw away the trash in your pajamas?"
Everyone was even more puzzled.
The old man continued: "No way!"
"That's right, you are all decent people and you wouldn't do such a thing."
"But you can obviously do it!"
"It's just a matter of wearing a set of clothes that are not very decent, taking a garbage bag, and throwing it away next to the trash can outside. What's so difficult?"
Seeing the people in front of him who continued to be stunned, the smile on the old man's face became even happier.
He waved his hand.
"Actually, I can't do it either!"
"Think about it, can you imagine me going to the trash can on the corner to throw away trash?"
Everyone shook their heads.
The old man lit a cigarette for himself, grinned lightly and said:
"Yeah, I can't do it."
"I have accumulated too many messy things, such as achievements, money, status, success..."
"But those are not good things. It can even be said that they are terrible."
"It's like I'm restrained by shackles."
"I can't do anything."
When the old man said this, he simply poured himself a glass of strong wine on the table.
He looked at the small wine glass in his hand.
"Look, it's my wine in the first place, and I plan to drink it all today, and there's no need to add ice cubes or anything."
"But why can't I just drink from the bottle? Why do I have to pour it into a cup?"
"..."
"Because of this, I like to see everything from the perspective of a bystander."
"That's the only freedom I have left."
"There will be someone who can change everything, there will always be someone who is 'alive'."
Gudu...
The old man drank the glass of strong wine in his hand and murmured at the same time:
“That’s great!”
"Only at this time can I whisper to you."
"When this weird feeling passes, everything will go back to how it was before."
"It's not bad."
The old man opened his eyes.
He sees it all.
He wanted to see everything.
"I never regret, because the life I lived was called 'Shen Yan'."
"I want to witness until the end!"
…
The old man's judgment was right, because there are really people who can break through the limitations of the Silent Era.
Of course that person is only Qianqian.
Above the blue, only the fixed value of "competition" can pull living beings out of the rotten and smelly environment of the Silent Age!
Qianqian finished eating the hot pot and walked on the street.
