Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

Chapter 52 Despair is the biggest enemy in the world

"Where is wrong?"

Su Enxi tilted her head in confusion.

Although she has no emotional experience, she calls herself a master of emotions and feels that her judgment should be generally correct.

Whether it is emotional factors or profit factors, he has taken them into consideration. It would be contrary to common sense if the majestic Dragon King gets angry because of a mere cabbage that has not been raised for a long time.

If you were that stupid, you wouldn't be alive now.

Mai Shutoku also looked over in confusion. Although she raised the possibility, she really didn't think much about it. Su Enxi's words just now had convinced her.

"Have you ever heard of the little match girl?"

Zero did not answer directly, but asked a question softly.

"The little match girl? Ever heard of it?"

Su Enxi nodded. This story is one of Andersen's fairy tales and is well-known to every household.

The general idea is a tragic story about a little girl who made a living by selling matches and froze to death on a cold Christmas Eve because she couldn't sell the matches.

"Does this have anything to do with what I said?"

she asked doubtfully.

Zero shook his head and continued to ask instead of answering her question.

"Why did she light all the matches at once before she died instead of using them one by one?"

Hearing this question, Su Enxi and Jiude Mai looked at each other in confusion.

In the story "The Little Match Girl", the little girl tried to strike a match to keep warm before she froze to death. Every time she struck a match, a warm fireplace, roast duck, Christmas tree and other beautiful things in the world would appear. After the match went out, these things would appear. Just disappear.

After using three sticks, she saw her dead grandma. In order to prevent her grandma from disappearing, she lit all the matches at once, and then followed her grandma to the Kingdom of Heaven. The next day, someone found that she had frozen to death.

This is a simple to the point of lackluster story.

"Is it because she misses her grandma very much, or is it because one match is not enough to keep her warm and she feels cold?"

Mai Shutoku expressed her conjecture from both fantasy and physics perspectives.

The content of the fairy tale itself is that the little girl is reluctant to let go of her grandma. From a physical point of view, Mai Shutoku feels that one match is not enough to keep warm. Maybe she uses all the matches because she feels cold. Is there anything wrong with this? ?

Hearing Mai Shutoku's answer, Zero didn't comment, but just looked at the two of them silently.

Su Enxi shook her head, denying Jiude Mai's conjecture.

"No, that's not the case!"

"From a true physical perspective, neither a single match nor a handful of matches is enough to keep warm in the wind and snow, and the little girl at that time may not have felt cold... She was frozen to death, and people who really freeze to death are dying My consciousness may not have been normal before.”

"People who have been in a state of severe hypothermia for a long time will experience an abnormal expansion of blood vessels, causing a sudden increase in blood vessel flow, and the skin on the surface of the human body will temporarily heat up, and then the hypothalamus will issue wrong instructions, causing the brain to mistakenly think that the body is very hot, and even cause people to If you are so hot that you take off your clothes, this is abnormal undressing.”

"Andersen may not have understood this scientific knowledge, but he must have seen people freezing to death. People who freeze to death often have smiles on their faces because their brains judge that they feel that they are actually warm enough to relax."

"According to the description earlier in the story, being able to get warmth from a match proves that the little girl's brain has misjudged. She only needs one match to be warm enough, so it is impossible to light all the matches for warmth."

"As for missing her grandma, why doesn't she light the matches one by one? This way she can see her for longer. Based on her misjudgment of her body temperature, she might think that she can last until tomorrow. At this time, the matches should be hers. The hope of survival should never be wasted like this."

Su Enxi sputtered out a lot of words.

Mai Shutoku blinked, and after digesting it, she raised an objection.

"Didn't you say that her consciousness was no longer normal? At that time, she might not have been able to stay rational and think that far ahead."

"But what if she really thought that far ahead?"

Su Enxi asked rhetorically.

"Remember that star? She may not know that it is her death star, but she definitely knows that someone is going to die."

Before the little girl struck the third match, she saw a shooting star flash across the sky and remembered that her grandmother had told her that this was a sign that someone was about to die.

"But what does this have to do with her lighting all the matches?" Mai Shutoku asked in confusion.

"She most likely knew that people would die eventually. In her mind, she probably thought that she could hold on until the sun came out tomorrow by saving the matches one by one. But she didn't do that. In the end, she chose a stud and used all the matches. Clean."

Su Enxi looked directly into Jiude Mai's eyes.

"If that's the case, then she didn't freeze to death. She chose to commit suicide before she froze to death. The way to commit suicide was to use up all her hope in one breath."

"..."

Shutoku Mai was speechless for a moment.

"But why did she do this? According to you, even though it was a misjudgment, she should have felt in her hallucination that she could survive until tomorrow. Why did she give up?"

"Because of despair!"

Su Enxi said in a faint voice.

"The boss said that despair is the biggest enemy in the world. The little girl no longer believes in any future, so there is no need to keep hope. She no longer believes in tomorrow."

Ling Jingye nodded, indicating that this was what he wanted to say.

The room fell into a long silence, as if a silent bell was slowly echoing.

After a while.

Mai Shutoku finally came to her senses and shuddered slightly.

"So, what you are saying is that Xiao Longnu will really destroy the world for Xiao Baicai?"

She finally understood what the two meant.

Su Enxi made a conclusion based on a rational framework, combining emotions and interests, and believed that Xia Mi would not spend a lot of money for a mere family member, but Zero overturned her theory.

If the existence of Xiao Baicai is the third match, or the last straw that breaks the camel's back, even if he and the Dragon King do not have a deep relationship, it is very likely to cause the Dragon King to fall into despair.

The desperate Dragon King will not care about the hope of revival. No matter whether there are blood relatives or anything around him, they will turn into flames and burn out together. For dragons, complete destruction is not an outcome they have never thought of.

"No, my previous theory has not been completely overturned, it just has a very small possibility."

Su Enxi shook her head.

"Sanwuniu's guess does have a theoretical basis, but it is basically a small probability event. After all, no one knows which match Xiaobaicai is."

"However, our mission is to avoid this small probability event, so we must pay more attention to Xiao Baicai in the past few days, and avoid his accident without exposing us, so we must-"

Su Enxi was about to talk about measures to strengthen precautions.

Suddenly, Zero's slightly surprised voice interrupted her.

"The target had an accident!"

Su Enxi and Jiude Mai suddenly rushed over, looking extremely nervous.

Room 201, Unit 15.

Xia Mi, who was chatting on the forum, always felt worried for some reason.

The monster mentioned by [Accounting Maid] before made her feel a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, this kind of monster should not appear in this city, but she did find similar rumors on the Internet. Although it was just a fragment of words, it was full of details. It didn't look like a normal animal, but a monster mixed with dragon blood.

After thinking about it, unable to let go of her worries, she picked up her phone and wanted to ask where Su Mo was.

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and it was Su Mo's call.

We've only been away for such a short time, is there anything important enough that we need to call ourselves immediately and not talk about it tomorrow?

Could it be——

Xia Mi's pupils suddenly shrank, and the ominous premonition in his heart reached its peak.

She immediately answered the phone, her hand already on the door handle, ready to break out at any time.

"What, what happened?"

As soon as the call was connected, Xia Mi asked about the specific situation very quickly and nervously.

Then, she heard Su Mo's slightly nervous and trembling voice.

"Let me tell you one thing, you must not be afraid."

"Don't worry, I am the Dragon King, I won't be afraid!"

Xia Mi responded quickly, with his thoughts firmly in mind, he rushed out of the door.

"No need to say more, wherever you are, I'll go over right away!"

As a reliable boss, she never complains.

She had just said in the forum that she would kill anyone who dared to touch her cabbage!

The golden pupils in the girl's eyes were fierce, and the power of the Dragon King silenced the cicadas all summer long.
