Rihu's Pit Brother's Journey

The author has something to say: High-energy warning: Bai Yueguang kills at the beginning.

The first few chapters are a bit difficult, and I want to experience the bitterness and pain from the perspective of the first brother.As soon as the back edge appears on the stage, it will fly (not vegetarian!)

In the end, it was decided to unify the whole text with one person. After all, Brother Yi is my wife, so of course I should spoil him. ε=(-o-*)

Destiny has always been a philosophical topic.

If you know the future, can you change it?If you play the same role and let people with different personalities participate in it, will there be any variables?To the torrent of history, is a person's life a small piece of helpless pebble that falls into the ocean and cannot even be lifted by the waves, or a butterfly's wings that can change the future of the world?

... He actually has his own views on this proposition.

This comes from his Chinese teacher, Osamu Dazai.

Mr. Dazai likes this kind of "possibility" imagination very much. Rather than saying that he is teaching Chinese, it is more like teaching philosophy.

"There is also the possibility that Osamu Dazai will become a writer, Osamu Dazai will become a mafia, Osamu Dazai will become a Chinese, Osamu Dazai will become a detective, and Osamu Dazai will become a Chinese teacher like me."

The teacher with soft brown hair and auburn eyes said so to the students.

"It's not russet, it's kite, yuan, a kind of eagle, and the color of its wings is like this."

As if he read his mind, he understood the description in his student's heart, and the teacher who approached him commented like this.

When the teacher stares at you with his eyes and says this softly with a smile on his face, even though he knows it’s just his habitual hypocrisy, he can’t help but lose his mind for a moment, falling into the illusion that he actually values ​​you, loves you, and only looks at you alone.

"Like, there might be Iwakatsu who became a samurai, a general, a philosopher, an ogre, and my student Iwakatsu. There are all kinds of possibilities, Iwakatsu-kun, such a world may exist next door to us."

...Thinking about it now, what the teacher said is like a prophecy or a curse.But at that time the listener was not vigilant and took all his words as part of the example.

Soon, Teacher Dazai turned around and returned to the podium as if dancing.He is the only man who can make other people do ridiculous moves, and complete them as gracefully as dance steps.

"So, I'm just giving an example. Everyone has different possibilities, but the essence, the root of things, has not changed. Just because the essence has not changed, the overall historical flow will not change. As long as it is the same Individuals, even if they take the script and try ten, twenty, thirty... hundreds or thousands of times, it may be difficult to change the doomed result."

Pessimistic as always, only this time, Mr. Dazai turned his head and drew many lines on the blackboard, which seemed to be disorderly and messy lines, but formed a huge cup—no, a wonderful shape like something collapsed.

"Using a huge amount of data to clean up, one of them may be a hit after all, right? Judging from the one that hits by chance, it may be a 'variable' that deviates from the inevitable outcome."

... After that he said a lot more, no one can remember, all nonsense nonsense.

Perhaps because of the Chinese teacher, Mr. Dazai likes to use modifiers too much.Listening to him is tiring, and I often have to remove all the exaggerated embellishments and meaningless descriptions in order to grasp the real meaning.

However, after a long time, you will find that those parts that you took off as useless decorations hide important information like prophecies.As if you could see him come to life in front of your eyes, and said jokingly, look, I told you already.

...too far.In short, Mr. Dazai told his students that the past and the future are actually predestined.Because all the variables that are input into the data of 'world' are not real variables, and their core essence has not changed at all.Then the changes that these variables will take place, in fact, all have fixed trajectories, and the trajectories formed by mutual collisions are ultimately fixed.

It's just that, occasionally, one in ten thousand, one in one hundred thousand, one in million, extremely frighteningly small chances, because of factors that are not fixed in variables, by chance, there will be different trajectories.

... However, even so, the torrent of history as a whole remains unchanged.

He calls this, 'historical inevitability and elasticity'.

It's like separating one end of a rubber band from the other. The two ends of the rubber band are fixed. This is inevitability.Pulling the rubber band at will means that there are many different possibilities to get from one end to the other. This is elasticity.Fixed, because our essence remains unchanged; elastic, because of changes caused by variables outside our essence, such as the external environment.

Unless the rubber band is torn off, the initial and final points remain the same.

...very, Dazai-esque pessimism.

Even if the rubber band is replaced with a rope, both ends are still fixed.Because formed by other people, the huge torrent of many tiny water droplets is unchanging.Therefore, a small drop put into it, whether it is water or oil, no matter whether its essence changes or not, it will also move with the torrent and cannot change the direction of the torrent.

"It's like someone thinks that even if Hitler is assassinated, there will still be a war, because at that time, at that point, even without him, there will be another person who will lead their country to that step. At that point in time, there will still be A war broke out. Contradictions between people cannot be reconciled with words, and it is not the world of animation."

Mr. Dazai's views are as pessimistic as ever. He doesn't recognize heroes, and he doesn't believe that individuals can change history.Or according to his words, even if there is such a thing, the probability is one in a billion. Such a good thing will not happen to him, or ordinary people like his students.

"It seems that even if Yoshida Shoyo is not an ordinary person but a very powerful non-human being, he is destined to be killed at that time to protect the students. Well, although it is the plot in Gintama, you understand the meaning."

...How can I use comics as an example.

However, his students finally understood what he wanted to express.

Perhaps the world really has butterfly wings. A small change can affect the future course of the entire world.But unfortunately, most of the time, most of the things, as Mr. Dazai said, the beginning and end are fixed.

just like……

...Yan Sheng himself is related to his younger brother, Ji Guo.

Ji Kuniwakatsu's family is a traditional samurai family.Later, the samurai declined and turned to teaching others how to make a living.Then he won several national competitions, even if only a few, and his reputation grew.Obviously not very rich, but they have regained the airs of the samurai period, trying to find a way to stuff their brothers into this "Ghost Slayer Academy" with a long history of cultivating swordsmen.

Although there are cultural classes here, the focus is on kendo.Training batches of such students in peacetime is logically suspected of raising private soldiers, but it is said that the principal here has a good relationship with the higher-ups, and many of the graduates were selected by state agencies, the army, and secret agencies. It's completely understandable.

Of course, Yansheng's father didn't like these things.

The patriarch of the successor country sent Yansheng and Yuanyi in, not for the simple matter of letting them go to school.He probably hoped that the two of them could establish a friendly relationship with their classmates in school and establish a network of relationships with these future 'national pillars'.

In these days, the supremacy of military force has long been an outdated concept. Everyone relies on relationships, and it's the same everywhere.Twins are sent to school for this purpose.To put it bluntly, even the teachers here have a terrible network of relationships behind them.It's always right to be familiar.

At first, Ji Guoyansheng didn't like this school very much.But later, he found that the teachers here are very good, and they are quite in-depth.Then...something happened and he didn't like the school anymore.

"Brother!"

After class, you can see his brother waving at him with the same smile as his but without gloom, like the sun shining on everything.

Yan Sheng couldn't help but sink his face.

In fact, just to explore the relationship network here, it is enough to send him one.My father asked Yuanyi to be with him.

"Compared to Yuanyi, your force value is still slightly insufficient, Yansheng. It's a pity that he is different from you, he is not good at speaking and does not communicate with people often, otherwise he can be assigned to this task. I have to let you together, just In order for him to make up for your lack of force. Don't waste your brother's hard work, you must get results."

In fact, Yan Sheng knew clearly that his father didn't dislike him, but his father was used to this, praising Yuan Yi in front of him, and praising him in front of Yuan Yi.My father just can't speak, if I put the same words in another way, for example, I let you together because your brothers complement each other, that would be much better.He clearly knew that his father might not have intended it, and the facts were not what his father said.

But now, looking at his younger brother who was walking towards him with joy in his eyes, and the classmates who were walking beside Yuanyi, who flinched and stayed where they were when they saw him, a kind of resentment and grievance still made him Throat tight.

——I don’t need me at all, just send him alone!Doesn't he have a good relationship with those people, like a fish in water?On the contrary, up to now, only the teachers remember my name, and everyone else calls me 'ah, the brother of Ji Guoyuanyi', such a title makes people feel ashamed to admit it.

"Brother, I—"

"The teacher told me that I have something to do. Just go with your friends after school. Also, how old you are, don't come to class to look for me every time, and you will go back after school by yourself."

Contrary to what Yansheng thought, Yuanyi didn't show an expression of relief... He thought that Yuanyi should be happy because he gave Yuanyi a good reason to move freely and play with his friends.

His younger brother looked at him with pitiful eyes like an abandoned animal.

If he had changed his face, even the face of Mr. Dazai, he would probably feel ashamed and regretful with such an expression.

But it happened to be a face just like his.

--Disgusting.

This is his only impression.

He didn't want to see this face, such an expression, it was disgusting.

This is not good for twins. It is easy to take the same face as a mirror image of yourself, and then map it to yourself.Such a sense of substitution makes it difficult for people to feel sympathy and compassion.It's like when you look at an extreme OOC version of yourself and make expressions and actions that you can't do at all, you will never think he is pitiful, you just want to change the channel early and have a look with a comfortable face.

"Yansheng-kun, hurry up, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you for a long time!"

Yansheng turned his head to look at their new teacher Qi Mu Kongsuke. The teacher smiled and waved at Yansheng, beckoning him to hurry up and help.

So he walked towards the teacher without looking back.

This is Ji Guoyansheng's pre-memory before he came to this world.

He didn't know whether it was Mr. Qi Mu's experiment that brought him here, or that he was a soul that went from the future to the past, and the retrograde flow of history, and remembered the memory of the "previous life" about the future in this era.Or, through experiments, Mr. Qi Mu copied the memory of his future into the mind of a certain him in the past, that is, the current person.

...Thinking about it now, I was too careless to agree to participate in the experiment without asking Mr. Saiki about the success rate of the experiment.

In short, the present him, this body, this soul, is one of the successors of Ji Guoyan in the Warring States Period, Ji Guo Yansheng.

Yes, one of them, Ji Guoyansheng, always thought he was the only son, until someone secretly told him that he had another brother named Yuanyi.

The follow-up development is a common comic plot, where two children meet privately and play together and feel very happy.Later, Yuanyi showed his martial arts talent and knocked down Yansheng's martial arts master Yijian.The patriarch of Jiguo immediately changed his mind. He wanted Yuanyi to inherit the family and Yansheng to become a monk.

Are you upset?

not at all.He even understood the patriarch of the successor country.Everyone knows how cruel the Warring States Period was.Force is regarded as the first measure, because in a cruel war, only the strong can survive and preserve family power and blood.When he knows that the two children have the same appearance, but one is far stronger than the other, as a father, how can he choose?

This is like two people drowning at the same time. One is strong and the other is weak. Which one should the medical staff rescue first?

"In theory, we should choose the weak one, but in reality, we should choose the strong one."

If Dazai-sensei, I'm afraid he would answer like this.

Because the reality is so cruel, with the same limited time, if you rescue the weak one, it is very likely that both of them will die in the end.The weak one's vitality was too weak, and he would die if rescued, while the other one who had instinctively survived died without being rescued.On the contrary, rescuing the strong one can at least ensure that at least one survives.This is an extremely realistic probability of survival.

After the Patriarch of the country is right, he must choose a stronger one to be the Patriarch.It is also right to send the other child to become a monk, because the two children look so much alike that they are almost doomed to a disaster, so it is better to separate from the beginning, and send one to the temple to guarantee the bloodline, in case of death One and another backup.

...he understands everything.

But he still felt sad.for himself.

Obtaining the memory of the "future" is just to calm his anger and unwillingness as an abandoned person, but it does not erase his self-esteem as a human being and the humiliation of being abandoned involuntarily.

And other things occupied his mind than that.

Iwakatsu remembered that day when he went to hand in his Chinese homework, he found that Mr. Dazai was not in the office.

In fact, he just put his homework on the desk and left, but he still felt a little uneasy, so he searched around and found him on the rooftop.

He saw the thin man outside the barbed wire fence, found him coming, turned to him with a smile and said, "Do you want to come together, Yan Sheng-kun?"

He said: "After school, I don't participate in any after-school clubs, I have to go."

Teacher Dazai just smiled and said, sure enough, he jumped down.

...jumped down.

He thought... thought, was joking.

He walked over, expecting to see a protruding roof, or something like a net bag, and then that person jumped out like any prank, and said, ha, I tricked you, and finally I can see classmate Yan Sheng change his face Yes!

He thought...

...he always thought.

From that day on, another month passed, and he continued to go to school as before until he agreed to Teacher Qi Mu's experiment.

... I am always so slow, I don't know the importance until I lose it.
