Mecha and God

I jumped up, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Then do you dare to tell me exactly what happened that day?!" Daedalus asked me loudly.

I gritted my teeth bitterly, "I've said everything I should say! I'll say everything!"

Daedalus sneered and turned his face away, "It doesn't work for me to act like a baby."

"Do you have definite evidence for what you said, or is it all based on your conjecture?" Long Yin asked him.

"The Hilos did have collusion with Lucifer. You can go and check the investigation report I submitted to the principal. The Hilos have received mecha flight training, and they also have a mecha system independent of Isis-this can explain Lu Mino's actions on the day of Qi's death."

Long Yin turned his head and looked at me.

"I swear it's not what you imagined it to be. I don't know what Daedalus said about Lucifer colluding with the Hilos!"

Xilou also weakly raised his hands.

"What's the matter?" Daedalus raised his lips while knitting a sweater.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, "That's what I said in court."

The usual mocking smile appeared on Daedalus’s face again, and he ignored me, “Colonel Long Yin, if you still have a sense of responsibility to your compatriots, you must deploy a defensive force tomorrow. Standby on the outside. Otherwise, if you gather everyone here, it’s hard to say who the hunter is.”

My heart skipped a beat. If the mayor and the others really had armor, they would definitely choose to attack the manor tomorrow. After all, they thought all the conquerors would gather here.They won't know it's just a trap waiting for them to fall into it.

"Are you always only concerned about who is the hunter and who is the prey? Is that right or wrong? They rise up because they are oppressed."

"I also feel that I have been oppressed by those gentlemen who are called nobles." Daedalus glanced at Long Yin, who was pulling a ball of thread beside the bed, "My monthly military salary can only make ends meet, and Earl Shazuo came here The desolate land can still be equipped with luxurious manors, just because his ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago have done meritorious service on the battlefield. I can only knit a sweater on the sick bed, and I dare not imagine that my descendants can do it because of me today. My subordinate Lu Qi died for no reason, and Colonel Longyin became a beauty in anger, and the murderer's crimes could be wiped out, and he was at large, just because he was born in the noble blood of Storm Harbor. The murderer Even stand here and ask me what is right or wrong. There is no right or wrong in this world. Some people rule and more people obey. The rulers provide protection and serve with sticks when the people below are disobedient. .If Colonel Long Yin and Earl Shazuo have any objections to this, then I plan to rise up."

Long Yin's face turned black.Sha Zuo touched his face subconsciously, how painful their faces must be.

Long Yin finally issued an order to Sha Zuo, "Tomorrow, let the Laser Guard and the Rose Knights guard the military academy and monitor the armed forces around the manor around the clock. As for the Shadow Stream Legion and the Fearless Pioneer, let them all come here to drink and dance."

Long Yin thought for a while, and then said, "This order must be kept secret, and no Hilo people should know it. Declare to the Hilo people that we will all be here tomorrow."

"You will thank me, Hunjun." Daedalus teased Long Yin with a rare relaxed expression.

"We'll have to wait until tomorrow to decide."

Long Yin stood up, walked to the door, and took my bracelet away.

I have a sense of melancholy that as a favored concubine, I can't beat the big house.Dafang is still knitting sweaters while fighting in the house, by the way.

"Hey, Hilo," Daedalus called after him.

I turned my head, and he turned his face away in disgust, "I didn't call you."

Xiao Xilou turned around with a face of "Why the hell is it me again", "Yes, what's the matter?"

Daedalus shook off the sweater, raised his tail and pointed at the neckline, and said in his usual cold and hoarse voice, "This is called a bow."

******

As soon as I went out, I dragged Long Yin into the room.

"What did you take my bracelet for?! You don't believe me at all..."

"No, on the contrary, I trust your goodness. You would not want to start a war, and neither do I. Now we have a chance to get rid of some unstable elements before it is too late. Some are your people, some are My compatriots, I am determined to get rid of the Rashidaimon people who killed innocent people indiscriminately for peace, are you determined to stand with me and resist the too radical Hilo revolutionaries?"

"The Lacedaemonians who killed innocent people deserved to die, but the Hilo revolutionaries didn't. They just wanted equal rights!"

"No matter how legitimate their reasons are, once the war starts, they will also kill people. Among the people killed, there may be me and Sha Zuo. Do you think me and Sha Zuo are Laqidaimon people who deserve to die?"

"No, of course not..."

"A sword has no eyes on the battlefield." Long Yin put his hands on my cold face, "So this is a very complicated question, isn't it? Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. If—I mean if ——Tomorrow they attacked the manor, and we controlled the situation. I can promise not to hurt the Hilo revolutionaries, start peace talks, and guarantee their equal rights with the greatest compromise. But if they control the situation, we may all die. According to Daedalus, there is Lucifer behind them, and they still don't know that using Lucifer's power is drinking poison to quench their thirst."

"I don't know... I can no longer tell right from wrong."

"Then let me do the right thing." Long Yin kissed my hair.

******

After Longyin fell asleep that night, I called Michael and Gabriel out and told them what had happened.

"From a moral point of view, I think it is completely understandable for the Hilo people to start a war to pursue national independence. But Long Yin is also very reasonable. The bloodshed and sacrifices brought about by the war will harm everyone. Who should I help? Next step What should I do? You two AIs have lived so long and accompanied humans through many ups and downs, do you have any good suggestions?"

Gabriel hugged his baby bear, and happily scribbled on Long Yin's face.Once we enter the virtual world, time is relatively static, and no one can hear our conversations, Gabriel often makes fun of Long Yin so unscrupulously.I tried to stop her, but she cried, so I just let her go.

"Do nothing," she replied.

"wtf?!"

"You listen to us, and our opinion is to do nothing. We were not created to interfere in a civil war."

"Civil War? What a novel word."

"It's indeed a human civil war, for our AI. We can help kill aliens and kill codes, but we can't do anything about civil war." Michael stood by the window, looking through the glass at the still rainwater outside. "Humans have never stopped civil wars in history. I think this may be because the earth's conditions are too good, so they lack natural enemies."

"I dare say it's not because of this reason." Gabriel raised his head to argue with him, "During the Age of Discovery, the entire human world was only the size of the cabin of the 'Morning Star of Light', and the population was less than [-] at the time. ...but they still have a power struggle all day long. I've seen the losers thrown into interstellar space countless times, their stomachs explode and their intestines float around. I can cure every injury and disease known at the time, but I can't Cure the viral idea of ​​'people killing people'."

"Thank you for your vivid description." I shook Gabriel's little hand.

"It doesn't help you, does it?" Gabriel hugged her baby bear tightly.

I didn't intend to disappoint the little girl, but I really couldn't tell a lie, "What I want to know is, what should I do tomorrow? Should I send a message to the mayor and the others not to attack the manor, so as to delay the outbreak of the war?" Or are you just waiting for Long Yin to bring everything?"

"You also know that the former is just delaying the outbreak of the war." Michael interjected.

I hugged my head, "...Damn it, it's obviously a war, why is it actually justified! If only one side was completely scumbag! Fuck!"

Michael wondered, "Why do you think a civil war would be justified."

"For you, it's a human civil war, but for us, it's a war of independence for the Hilo people!"

"What happens when you become independent?"

"Of course I don't have to be bullied by Laqidaimeng anymore!"

"But you have also lost the protective force field, the mecha unit, and the people who can reach out for help at critical moments."

"We will protect ourselves!"

Michael laughed, "Based on your technology level?"

I blushed, "Are you accepting the rule of a foreign race in order to seek protection?"

"If you are independent, can you rule yourself?"

"Of course!"

"Then who will rule?"

"Of course the mayor."

"The mayor doesn't even belong to your village, why should your village accept his rule?"

"He's a good guy. He's fair, he's upright, and he takes responsibility."

"Long Yin is also a good person, equally fair, upright, courageous, and more experienced than the mayor. So why is the mayor of the next village able, but not Long Yin of the next planet?" Michael asked me.

Damn, I can't get better in an instant.

"...the mayor never hurt us, but the Lacedaemonians, they're good at it."

"Bad governments are indeed good at harming the interests of the people, but Long Yin has already shown you the possibility of everything getting better—to put it another way, let's eliminate all other interference and choose one of the two. Long Yin is still the mayor."

"The mayor..."

Michael was thoughtful, "Why is it the mayor, not Long Yin? Long Yin is your lover."

I'm a little confused: "Of course because the mayor is the same Hilo as us, we speak the same language, have the same customs, and belong to the same culture... If Long Yin is allowed to rule, then we will be very uncomfortable .”

"Uncomfortable?" Michael laughed. "Ah, that's the crux."

He and Gabriel looked at each other: "Human beings are full of fear in their hearts. They are afraid of everything other than themselves, so they declare war on the world all the time. But they are very small, so they always want to be in a more Find a sense of belonging in a large group. Members of the same group will share a certain commonality, sometimes blood, sometimes culture, sometimes religion, sometimes even just because they superficially like the same thing. They are in Other members are constantly confirming their own understanding of the world and thinking that is the only universal standard in the world, which forms a prejudice."

I fiddled with my fingers: "I... I didn't understand. Can you explain it again?"

"Humans continue to divide their own races, ranging from nation-states to cute CPs. They are very good at separating themselves from others with a very fixed wall, and they have no cognition-as human beings, they share The difference is much greater than the difference. So they often declare war on each other, massacre, and enslave each other, as if the other party is not human. In fact, they are also good people, and there is not much difference between the mayor and Long Yin."

"Why does the nation have the same degree as the cute pair cp!"

"The concept of nation was invented very late. It is not formed naturally. It can be said that it is another Tower of Babel created by human beings. The history of mankind is a history of fusion, but the emergence of the concept of nation makes this fusion change. It’s even more difficult.” Michael flipped through the book, “Do you want to hear examples? The Chinese say they are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but in fact the Yellow Emperor annexed the Yan Emperor’s tribe; I don’t know how much of the British royal family came from Normandy; American blacks used to be slaves… ...You see, history is invasion, enslavement, annexation, and assimilation."

"Then what are the grievances we have suffered for hundreds of years?!"

"It's the price of history." Michael closed his eyes, "You hate Longyin's race, but you will have children with him. Many Lacedaemonians will have children with Hilo people. Then times change , your descendants are slowly forgetting these two old terms. They speak the same language, build the same form of government, enjoy the same equal rights, and finally build the same country. They will say, ah, I am an earthling, One of the embarrassing things that happened in my family back then was that my mom and my dad got into a fight, trying to get ahead — that's how things usually go."

"It sounds like nothingness." I suddenly wanted to cry, "It's as if everything I do now is meaningless. I've shed blood for my country and it's become a joke..."

Michael grabbed my shoulder.

"The nation-state is a very important invention in a specific historical period. It once allowed all mankind to unify and progress. However, after 2 years have passed, mankind should not stop at the stage of the nation-state. Progress must not only be reflected in In terms of technology, it should also be in terms of society, philosophy, and concepts. Whether you are willing to let go of hatred, let go of the ego, and promote the greater self is entirely up to you, Messiah."

My outlook is completely ruined.I feel like I'll just feed pigs for the rest of my life.

"But even if you don't do anything, I think the war between the Hilos and the Lacedaemons will end soon."

"Eh?"

"Human natural enemies are about to appear. The existence of natural enemies will make them let go of their prejudices."

"Is it AI? Lucifer?"

Mijiale looked out the window where the wind and rain were dark: "It's far more than that."
