I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 592 Two Sides

Mo Ling looked at the strange doctor in front of him vigilantly. The teleportation frame had already quietly aimed at him. As long as the doctor made any move, Mo Ling would immediately initiate the teleportation.

However, the strange doctor did not seem to have any hostility. He just stood there and looked at his body.

"Healing power is such a powerful ability..."

"This is the ability with the most questions we have encountered. Even the doctors themselves do not know some of the relevant knowledge. They do not seem to know the nature of this ability, nor do they know its origin and evolution. They just use this ability instinctively, and regard this power as a simple tool to 'cure diseases'."

The doctor said to himself as he felt the medicine on his body.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with the Eternally Thirsty?" Mo Ling couldn't suppress his curiosity and questioned the doctor.

"I?"

The light on the doctor's head flashed, and he extended his tentacles, sweeping across and arranging the books on the table next to him neatly.

"I'm the librarian here."

"If you want to ask more carefully, then I can only answer you that I am also an eternal thirster..."

Hearing this answer, Mo Ling became even more nervous. If this strange doctor was the Eternally Thirsty, then who was that straw creature just now?
Seeing that Mo Ling didn't seem to fully understand, the "librarian" continued to explain:
“There weren’t originally so many books here…”

"At first, there were only a few books here, and he would often come here to sort them out himself, but later, he acquired knowledge faster and faster, and he had no time to sort them out, so these books were thrown everywhere."

"When books become cluttered, knowledge will also become cluttered..."

"Knowledge of different races and types was completely mixed together. There was no system or classification. There was even a lot of wrong and repeated knowledge filling his mind, so his thoughts became more and more chaotic."

As the doctor spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the bookshelf above.

"The Eternal Thirst are a race with a sense of community. Their knowledge and thoughts can be interconnected, so the chaos of their thoughts can affect the entire group."

"Under the influence of this chaotic thinking, he, or 'they', sometimes even get lost in the vast amount of knowledge and think they are another race."

"So, he needs a librarian, an independent person who is not connected to the group consciousness and can help him organize this huge amount of knowledge with clear thinking."

"And I was born like this. I am also a member of the Eternally Thirsty, but I do not belong to the Eternally Thirsty. I am not responsible for acquiring knowledge. I am only responsible for organizing knowledge and managing this library."

"However, when I sort through the books, I am also influenced by them. The knowledge I have acquired often transforms me into another race... just like what you see now."

The doctor opened his arms and completely displayed his body in front of Mo Ling.

Only then did Mo Ling discover that this doctor not only had the characteristics of a doctor and an eternally thirsty person, but also some characteristics of other creatures, but these characteristics were not obvious.

"Then why did he ask you to heal him?"

"Because of guilt." The doctor replied calmly.

"Guilt?" Mo Ling was a little puzzled.

"Yes, you should be able to understand that if you want to acquire the knowledge of a race, you must absorb the history, culture, thoughts, and beliefs of that race... and these things will allow the Eternal Thirst to be 'assimilated'. Once assimilated, empathy will arise." "He will naturally feel regret for the demise of this race and feel guilty about his own actions. This is unavoidable, so he will never kill them all. When facing the avengers of those races, he will hide if he can."

"In the process of conquest and destruction, although he has been gaining knowledge, his guilt has been piling up. He has collected so much knowledge that he certainly knows how abominable it is to destroy a race. He also understands why the Eternal Thirst has become so notorious."

"But the Eternal Thirst's thirst for knowledge is insatiable. This desire can even surpass all compassion and empathy. When the desire comes, he will destroy a race without hesitation. But after the destruction, he will hide in the library and repent, repenting how much harm his actions have brought to those races."

"He even tried to lock himself up and trap himself with a powerful seal, but when the desire erupted, no obstacles could stop him from acquiring knowledge."

"So, after discovering the healer race, he was so excited. He wanted to obtain healing power and all the knowledge about it. This was also the first time he acquired knowledge for the purpose of 'applying' it."

"But as you can see now, the cure was successful, but the basis for the Eternal Thirst's existence is gone. When desire disappears, the Eternal Thirst no longer thirsts, and there is no meaning for its existence."

"However, he had anticipated this a long time ago. He could finally become an 'Avenger' and help the races that he had destroyed before and kill his enemies with his own hands..."

Having said this, the doctor looked at the empty seat.

"In the process of acquiring knowledge, he also collected a lot of stories about other races. In those stories, the villains often came to their senses and committed suicide. He liked these kinds of stories very much. Sometimes when he came to the library, he would sit at the table and read these old stories over and over again."

"He may have already thought of his own ending..."

“Sometimes, after reading these stories, he would ask me questions.”

"Now that the villain is dead, is everything over? What about those destroyed races? Do they have no choice but to forgive? Or will they choose to continue to hate? Hate the villain who no longer exists..."

"How can the villain make up for what he has done? How can he make up for it so that everyone is satisfied? If he can really satisfy everyone, then can everything he has done be forgiven?"

"He has no answers to these questions, and neither do I..."

"But now, he still leaves the problem to me."

The doctor looked at the empty seat and said helplessly.

He held out his hand and looked at his fingers.

"My time is almost up."

As soon as the words fell, the fingertips suddenly shattered and turned into countless smoke and dust.

"Will you die too?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

"Of course, I am also an eternal thirsty person, and of course I will die."

The doctor didn't seem to care about his own death. He walked in front of Mo Ling while emitting smoke and dust.

"You smell like a human."

"Well, let's leave it to them... After all, humans like to read books just like us."
