Reborn as a Supervisor

"Angela, you've given me a lot to think about the workings of the human mind."

"The mysterious work that goes on in what we call human beings allows you to peer into us, to read our thoughts like a book."

"After all this, have you not figured out the situation of the people in the city?"

It’s really hard to say what urban people are like, but what is certain is that what we consider to be “normal people” are in the minority.

“What’s something that jumps straight out of their heads as your eyes roll back at every word?”

"desire."

Angela was able to answer this question directly because she got the exact answer from the book.

Whether it's the rat in the back alley or the resident in the nest, they are all driven by desire.

There is a desire to live, a desire to make life better, and a desire to change the status quo...

"Read one book and compare it to another. Look deeply, even study their smallest actions."

"Tell me Angela, can they really work as one?"

“Some people in the city do work together in the same firm…but the question you’re asking should go beyond that.”

Before Angela could continue speaking, Roland, who had been standing aside and listening for a long time, finally took over the conversation. He was familiar with this question.

“I get it…Even if they’re in the same organization, everyone might have a different approach to accomplishing that goal.”

"Different viewpoints, compromises must be made to achieve the same goal. I understand this from my conversations with Netzach, Chesed, and Hokma."

"But there are some things that cannot be compromised. You've experienced it yourself, trying so willfully to become human and be free... er."

At this point Roland suddenly remembered something. The reason why Angela wanted to become a human was because of Chen Fan, and Chen Fan did not interfere too much in this matter, as if he had tacitly agreed.

In other words, all these developments were within Chen Fan's expectations... He even expected the final twist? It turned out that he was the only one who acted recklessly.

“Everyone does something because of their desires, and some desires just can’t be given up.”

“Sometimes it’s the easiest thing to just give it up and try to live, but other times desire is something a person would die for.”

Roland felt that having desires was a good thing. After all, if he lost his desires, what was the difference between him and Chen Fan?

I can't stand the thought of him being neither happy nor sad all day long. I really don't know what motivates Chen Fan to move forward.

“The question then becomes, is the desire for freedom really wrong?”

"Don't tempt the curator again..."

Sister Hong felt that the topic seemed to be going off track, but she couldn't tell exactly where it was going off track.

"No... I understand what Binah is saying. There's nothing wrong with desire itself, it's my approach that's causing the problem."

"If there was another, more generous option that would get me what I want..."

Should I try to change the status quo or let it go? Angela couldn't give herself an accurate answer.

"It's true that our previous methods were a bit too extreme. But if there is a better way to make everyone happy..."

"The thing is... there's no other way, and that's the point, isn't it?"

Neither HOD nor Roland understood the "hidden meaning" in the conversation between the two people, and Sister Hong couldn't explain it either, so a disguised "riddle" appeared.

"There are many ways to approach a goal. Can we continue our potentially fruitless search and find new ways to achieve it?"

“Or is it better to leave the dream behind and focus on other goals?”

“Sacrificing one’s own morals, if any, to achieve one’s own goals, regardless of the cost, is one of the many ways to solve a given problem.”

Suo Ma gave Angela two ways to solve the problem: look to the future and keep exploring, or focus on the present and use tough methods to solve the problem.

“Everyone has a past from which they learn their own way of dealing with problems.”

"Angela, weren't your initial choices influenced by your own past?"

"I can't doubt that his methods influenced my own..."

Angela felt that she could find an opportunity to test Chen Fan's attitude again, but she felt that using force was not feasible.

The cost of either success or failure is too high, and she doesn't want to make things difficult for Chen Fan.

So she chose to avoid this topic and not pursue it. As for the answer, she would think about it carefully later...

"While this explains why everyone might have a different view on how to use light...isn't the confusion caused by this difference what you want to avoid?"

“I’m not sure of the full scope of the plan… but I think the chaos is the point.”

HOD has a unique insight into this aspect and is no longer so nervous when speaking.

“When something new appears in the world, it’s not clear whether every approach is right or wrong.”

“We have the luxury of looking back at history and other people’s stories to take the best course of action, but for the characters in these stories, that option doesn’t exist.”

“They have to guess and stumble into an unknown future.”

The predecessors could only "cross the river by feeling the stones", just like Ain chose almost infinite reincarnations, betting everything on the possibility of a "perfect ending".

Not everyone has a “strategy” and simply copying the formula may not solve all problems.

Chen Fan has confirmed this with his own actions.

“People who don’t know anything can only choose one path and hope for the best.”

“They bravely faced an uncertain future and shaped it with their actions.”

“With all these precedents, the most effective ones will be the most important.”

Sister Hong knows this set of operating ideas too well, the city has always been like this.

"Sounds like how cities will eventually work..."

Although Roland's reaction was always a little slow, he understood the meaning of this sentence. After all, he was also a senior finisher and had his own understanding of the city.

"Will this new power spread, be shared and offer a future different from the present? Or will the urban cycle consume them, causing them to become the very thing they were meant to prevent."

“We cannot predict the outcome of something that has not befallen our world before, we can only observe how such a thing will affect the world and react.”

The reason why the decisive battle with the "leader" broke out in the first place was because the "leader" would not sit idly by and watch things develop in an uncontrollable direction.

The city itself is a pathological way of operating, but it is stable enough that the leaders do not intend to make any changes and do not allow any "variables" to appear.

“But the light gave the residents of this city something they had never had before, a chance to change.”

"So... chaos isn't inherently wrong either... but given how it might perpetuate the cycle..."

Angela always thinks more deeply than others because she is very smart and can think of more things and associate more things.

If the cycle cannot be broken, then what is the point of moving forward...
