[Comprehensive fear] Borrow your life

At the last moment of death, the researcher finally remembered one thing: he actually knew Alice Lin, but he never thought that person's name would suddenly appear on that screen...

For things like Line, like many colleagues, he just registered an account, added some people for the novelty, and then left it alone.Only when the research was coming to an end and he was idle, did he order some on the way home bored.

AliceLin, except for this account, the others are accounts of people he knows well.He didn't think anyone could hack his specially encrypted mobile phone, thinking that it must be a moment of pleasure to add someone and forget about others.As a busy researcher, he thought it was possible.

"Good evening." He didn't know where to start, so he could only say so tentatively.He can't just ask who others are.

"Who are you? I'm very sorry. I haven't played Line for a long time, and I don't remember when I added someone to some accounts." Contrary to him, the other party was so direct that it made people feel ashamed.

This was the beginning, they didn't chat much, and the ID AliceLin didn't impress him too much.With the gradual completion of the cooperation project between Will Company and CCG, he began to feel irritable, like a puddle of viscous stagnant water heated to boiling, but restrained and unable to erupt.

His mentor once said: To engage in or study a thing, one should have strong curiosity and enthusiasm for it, otherwise there is no way to achieve perfection.But he has never seen that mentor have such a strong curiosity and enthusiasm for his own career—studying ghouls, but there is only an uncontrollable coldness and disgust.

When he asked, the mentor put it this way: "My career is to study how to exterminate ghouls, not to study ghouls, I hope you can understand this. And, this will be your career too. Of course, I am very much in favor of you changing careers." He was still very young at the time, and he was somewhat rebellious towards his mentor.

I will not change careers, but I will not be so extreme, I will study ghouls, I will dedicate my life to science, not to study for hatred like most people in this world!I don't know if it was out of anger or because he really had such a great wish, but he has not deviated from this path since then, and has devoted enough enthusiasm and... curiosity.

It's a pity that other people are obviously not like this. Those supernatural investigators are obviously capable of capturing alive, but most of the time they only bring a few corpses.At his active request, the number of ghouls captured alive began to increase.The way everyone looked at him changed from "young and promising, with a bright future" to a simple and crude meaning of "abnormal".He didn't care, as a researcher, being a pervert is the best compliment!

He just wanted to communicate with the ghouls, and wanted to learn more about the ghouls, not just their physical structure.Isn't human beings' understanding also based on these two aspects?He didn't feel that this behavior was superfluous at all.He tried to talk to the ghouls, but those ghouls didn't understand his painstaking efforts, they just kept thinking about running away, begging for mercy, or cursing and resenting.

"Why do you hate humans?" He really asked in a pedantic tone, "From the perspective of the food chain, you have an absolute advantage. This kind of behavior is like humans hating food, except of course the popular dieters. .”

He obviously made a bad joke, because the ghoul looked at him like a mental patient and said angrily, "You caught me!"

Oh, indeed, such an obvious thing. "Then, if I let you go, won't you hate people? Will you won't eat people?"

"Forget it." He lost interest, because he knew that there was no result like before.

His relationship with those ghouls is like the relationship between humans and ghouls.He couldn't let them go, he had to dissect them, and they couldn't forgive him, and they couldn't get along with him.In fact, he just wanted to find a balance point, a balance point where both ghouls and humans could coexist.Otherwise, he is just studying extinct ghouls, not ghouls.

It's a pity that human beings don't bother to give him the answer. As a human being, he began to look for the answer that was ignored by everyone.

Coexistence of humans and ghouls is the only way out and the best result.He stubbornly thought so.

It's not kindness, it's just science.Human beings have fought against bacteria and viruses for so many years, but the result is that those bacteria and viruses continue to evolve, but they cannot really eliminate those viruses.They can develop many drugs and vaccines, but what if one day the research progress of these drugs and vaccines cannot keep up with the evolution speed of the virus?

What's more, human evolution has begun to stagnate. Is such an approach really advisable?

Therefore, he didn't think there would be any good results simply by constantly fighting the ghouls.No scientist can unconscionably say that ghouls are not superior to humans and are not at the top of the food chain.He is earnestly seeking a way out for the future of mankind, but he can't get any good results.

The emergence of Cowell changed all that.

He didn't know why CCG hadn't cooperated with the world-renowned Umbrella Company, the predecessor of Weir Company, but the advantages of cooperation were huge.The combination of Kazuko and the virus gave CCG a more powerful weapon against ghouls. This weapon is even stronger than the original Kazuko on the ghouls, and it will gradually eat away at the body of the ghouls in battle. *.Although the details still need to be improved, it is only a matter of time before it is put into production.

And CCG's ambitions don't stop there, the executives are trying to squeeze all the research data of Will Company, and get rid of the ghouls in one breath.

A bit aggressive, but maybe not a bad thing.He knew that one of the joint research projects between Will Company and CCG was to study the manufacture of RC factors.If this research is successful, humans will be able to coexist with ghouls by selling RC factors - ghouls must eat people in order to ingest this substance in the human body.

However, this research has not been a breakthrough.At this moment, Will Company welcomes two test subjects—a crazy investigator Suzune who has Kunk implanted in his body, and a young Kaneki Ken who has been mistakenly implanted with the internal organs of a ghoul and turned into a ghoul.

His interest in the former was relatively high at first, but after a deeper understanding, he was disappointed.Suzune is just a crazy ghoul hater, her idea is simple: kill ghouls.The future of human beings, the future development of human beings and ghouls has nothing to do with her. As long as she kills herself, she may even kill people, just like now she sent herself into the fire pit, and was transformed into such a picture. Ghouls don't look like ghouls.

"No matter how you ask, there is no result. It can be seen that you are the kind of person who has never been eaten by ghouls. How can you understand us avengers?" Lingyin was very impatient, "You do well!" Just do what you have to do."

But after learning about Lingyin's experience, he really didn't know what he should do.

Are humans really at the bottom of the food chain?Then why does Suzune eat ghouls?Why did the ring tone scare him more than those ghouls?Do human beings really have such good reason to say that they are righteous?

He shifted his gaze to Kaneki Ken.

"Have you ever eaten a human being?"

"I've eaten...it's dead human flesh. I don't know how to eat living people."

"You have been a ghoul for a while. If you want ghouls and humans to coexist harmoniously, what model or method would you come up with?"

"Well... I think...we still need to understand each other."

Looking at Kaneki Ken's firm gaze, he felt that he seemed to have gained something: "Like only eating dead people?"

"In fact, some ghouls do this." As a ghoul, Kaneki Ken was more affectionate to him than Suzune.

He thought it might be feasible to improve this method, but it was a pity that he hadn't really understood ghouls so far.Just like Kaneki Ken said, some of the ghouls still want to coexist peacefully with humans. They only eat dead people, mix among humans in normal times, and live normally like ordinary humans.He cannot understand this behavior.Even if Jin Muyan said that this was the wish of those ghouls, and those ghouls liked humans, he couldn't understand it.

May I ask, can he control everything with such infinitely uncertain things as likes and wishes, so that human beings and ghouls can coexist?That's not a scientific approach, although he was moved and admired.

His thoughts became chaotic in the constant memories, but a question in his mind became more and more clear: Why would those ghouls want to live like humans?

Without paying attention, his thoughts were posted on Line.

The chatting partner happened to be the unfamiliar AlinceLin.

The other party seems to be typing very fast, and soon sent a large text:

"Probably because of envy. Although the ghouls are rampant, the world is actually dominated by humans. All kinds of stores have always sold human food that those ghouls can never enjoy, and no store will sell ghouls to eat Human flesh. This world reminds those ghouls all the time: human beings are the masters of this world. And ghouls can only hide in the dark and disguise themselves as harmless humans in this kind of society. It can let them experience the sense of superiority that human beings can't even perceive. They will definitely envy and hope that they can also become the masters of the world. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved in a short time, so they want to live like human beings. What I'm more curious about is, why are you bothered by such a thing?"

Although it is still a psychological analysis, he thinks it is more acceptable: "I am thinking about the survival mode of humans and ghouls in the future. If humans can supply excess dead human flesh, it may be possible to create a relationship between humans and ghouls." balance point."

"Humans and ghouls have only one mode of survival: eating and being eaten. Where does the 'excess' dead human flesh come from? For humans, dead people are never superfluous. Other animals are very indifferent to death, only There are human beings who will erect monuments to pay homage to the dead. So your prerequisite does not hold."

"Then what if we can find a substitute for human flesh so that ghouls don't eat people anymore?" He felt a little regretful as soon as he posted it, which was tantamount to leaking his own research.

"A simple question for you. A bento with vegetables and rice or a bento with only rice, which would you prefer?"

Of course it is the former!He took it for granted that he understood what Alince Lin meant in an instant.If there is such a day, human beings are equivalent to the vegetables in the bento, and the substitute for human flesh is the tasteless bento filled with rice. Most ghouls will want to try the vegetables—humans.It's just like human beings obviously only need to eat ordinary coarse grains, but the food is getting more and more, with a variety of tricks, how many of them are actually necessary?

Ghouls, like humans, will not be satisfied with "necessary".Even if a better-tasting alternative to human meat is developed in the future, they will want to try something new and eat some whole grains—humans, right?

"Unless you can fundamentally change the ghouls and make humans disappear from their diet, there is no shortcut." Alince Lin's words coincided with Will's final cooperation project with CCG.If he hadn't been convinced that the other party was just a stranger he had randomly added, who happened to have deep thoughts and had been popularized by him about a lot of ghoul knowledge, he would almost have thought that he was a spy of some kind.

The medicine given to Kaneki Ken that can restore the sense of taste in humans in one day is not accidental, and that is the ultimate collaborative project - research on viruses that can fundamentally change ghouls.It's not easy, but there have been certain breakthroughs.And this breakthrough was what made him frown. The final result of the breakthrough was to exterminate the ghouls, not change them.As before, he didn't think it was advisable, not to mention that the plan was extremely dangerous: the virus might harm humans by collateral, although there were already a large number of vaccines.

"If there is such a shortcut, but the result is just a simple and rude elimination of all ghouls, should it be done?"

"Up to you." This time, Alince Lin's answer was extremely short, but it made him inexplicably uneasy.

"Such a major matter, does it depend on me? I mean, if joining me can really create such a miracle? Can it really 'follow me'? If I really let the ghouls become extinct like this? Then really Is that right?"

He found that he had been deceiving himself and others. He had dealt with ghouls countless times, especially in the recent communication with Kaneki Ken. He found that he had sympathized with ghouls subtly. As Alince Lin said, ghouls envy humans.As an envied person, he actually had the idea of ​​pity and saving them. He could not exterminate this species that is very similar to human beings.What's more, humans will also be affected.

"If there is really right and wrong in this world, who should judge, or who should judge, will you be convinced?"

"Society's axioms!" When he realized that he was typing this line, he felt a little guilty.

"Society is human. Its axioms do not include ghouls, so you can only choose humans between ghouls and humans. The question is, are you willing? Are you convinced?"

Not willing...he was silent.He wants to say that we should follow the axioms of the world.But what is the axiom of the world?Humans devour all creatures in the world, and ghouls only devour their own unique food. It is obvious which one is more in line with the axioms of the world.But can he just sit back and watch the human race perish?Is this judgment really justified?

"Let's change another example. If you sacrifice yourself, you can save your family. Would you like it?"

"Yes." He replied without hesitation.

"What if adding your family can save your country?"

"Willing to..." He hesitated a bit.

"If a world war breaks out, as long as your country is destroyed, the whole world can be saved. Would you like to?"

"It's not for me to decide!" He could no longer answer, "This is not for me to judge."

"Then let the world judge? Use the rule that the majority obeys the minority. After all, your previous choice was to abandon the minority. Then you should still abandon your small country. May I ask this judgment, right? Are you convinced?"

He can't let his country be destroyed no matter what, but from the standpoint of the world, this is right.

"Yes...but, I can't believe it." He found it difficult to type these short words.

"One last question. If the universe is going to be destroyed, are you willing to sacrifice the little earth to save the universe?"

"it's out of the question!"

"But the comparison is the same. The difference is only where you look at it from."

"I don't want to." He calmed down and replied dejectedly.

"Then what is your standard of judgment?"

For a while, he couldn't answer this question.

"Let me sum it up for you. Your judgment criteria are all unified, namely your family, your country, your world, and finally, your earth. So you abandon the universe, even if the universe destroys the earth The same goes for destruction. Have you found it? Your criteria for judgment are all about you. The only difference is how much you magnify yourself."

"You mean, selfish?"

"Yes, creatures are selfish. Why do humans have to kill ghouls instead of other creatures? Because human selfishness does not allow humans to be in danger of being eaten... Even the world is selfish, for their own survival At the expense of other worlds..."

His heart skipped a beat, and he was a little curious about Alince Lin's novel statement: "The selfishness of the world?"

"Oh. This is just my delusion about the status quo. The world seems to have become chaotic, and various monsters different from most creatures in this world have invaded. I think this is the selfishness of other worlds. The monsters of the world are all thrown into this world like garbage to save themselves. If so, would you judge that this is right? I mean, if you can throw the ghouls into another world and restore stability to this world Peace, are you willing to sacrifice that world that has no connection with you?"

He turned off Line and didn't answer AlinceLin's question, because he had already found his own answer: unwilling.

He is unwilling to obey the selfishness of human beings, maybe this is another puff, but he is willing to bet his life for it.

"Although it's up to you, but if you really face such a choice and choose ghouls, I will deal with you on behalf of human selfishness!" There is a playful smile at the end, so that he never put this follow-up The information was taken as one thing, until that Alince Lin really killed him.

"Are you a god?" At the end of his life, he could only conjecture, and naturally only he could hear the voice in his heart.

However, in a trance, he seemed to see the friendly answer on the line interface again: "No. Even God can't judge right from wrong."

So, up to you.Therefore, AliceLin will not say sorry to the world...
