The Spirit World

Chapter 512 Paranoia
Chang Yufeng didn't want to get an ambiguous answer, so he answered for Chun: "If it wasn't Xun Huangying, I don't think I could think of anyone else who could rely on you to do this. Chun. Did Xun Huangying say anything else to you?"

Chun was really surprised this time, because Chang Yufeng was already certain that the old human man was Xun Huangying.

Who is Xunhuangying?
The Supreme King.

It is easy for Xunhuangying to do such a thing.

"You will know if you try... why bother asking me... if you already have the answer in your heart." Chun spread her hands indifferently. Sure enough, if she continued to ask like this, the answer she would get could only be an ambiguous response.

Chang Yufeng looked at the dragon bone and the dragon bone crystal. There was nothing unusual about it at all. Or rather, the crystal dragon bone itself was absolutely unusual.

This keel is very regular, not a skull, but a rib. It doesn't look like a rib in human structure. This rib looks like a "real rib" connected between the sternum and cartilage, a rib forcibly pulled out from the keel of human structure.

It is crystal clear and radiant. Obviously, it is because of the powerful power contained in it that this dragon bone is as crystal clear as crystal, rather than its bright and beautiful color, which makes it present its current state.

Chang Yufeng was silent for a long time. He had a lot to say, but he really couldn't say it. He really didn't have much feelings for Elaine... He only knew about Elaine, an ice dragon, in his own vague reincarnation. It was hard to say that he would risk his life for Elaine, right?
If this is really the case, I really don't want to be coerced by the three forces. It is basically impossible to escape unscathed from the three forces, and what awaits me is most likely endless escape.

I'm sorry, because any harmful magic or swordsmanship technique can easily cut off the neck of any child, so the laws of both the Empire and the Principality are more focused on punishing the perpetrators, and the victims are basically only compensated financially, and even the perpetrators' guilt can be settled with money. The easy-to-understand explanation is that money can offset jail time, and as long as the public outrage is not particularly serious, the perpetrators will only be sentenced to jail, and there is no such thing as a life for a life.

So, when money is at work, minimizing the number of prison sentences is the most effective way to reduce sentences, so that only those who actually die, or those who are brutally killed by the perpetrators, or those who are children, will die in vain.

If the perpetrator is rich, powerful and well-connected, then the victim's death is largely in vain.

This is why Rajel and Aminna repeatedly told Chang Yufeng to protect himself.

This was cruel, and not just because the Nieman name was a lowly peasant name - no history, no honour attached to it.

Chang Yufeng certainly didn't want to fight alone, or die in vain among these three forces.

If he only knew about Elaine's situation, or was not involved at all, he would probably only make a tentative rescue, rather than absolutely rescue Elaine. This also meant that everything about Elaine had nothing to do with him.

There was nothing wrong with this, because Elaine and I didn't know each other. Let's not talk about whether we could save her, even the subjective willingness to help her was entirely up to Chang Yufeng. It was nothing more than a stranger who was suffering. How could a weak child like me save an ice dragon?

It is not too easy for an adult to simply pick himself up. If a cruel shadow hunter caught him, he might stab the child with his swords one by one, making him suffer excruciating pain. No, it is certain. Also, there is the pure evil organization Hatulin who never has any mercy on women. They would hang him up, dig out his heart and stomach, and he would die without a burial place in just a few minutes.

Don't you feel scared just thinking about something like this?

But what's the point of being afraid? If their target is me, I have no power to fight back. Fortunately, their target is not me.

Should I be thankful now? I am thankful that the three forces were not targeting me. If it was me, I would have been wiped out by the crows just now, silently, without leaving any trace.

This despair, rooted in great power,
It's just...

Common sense in the world...

Because the weak will surely be slaughtered completely in the dust of history, leaving only second-hand history recorded by others.

Good and bad are determined by heaven, while strength determines people’s hearts.

A lot of fallacies.

It is impossible for there to be no fallacies in this world and for there to be no one to defend them.

Profit is the basic analytical element that runs through the motivations of all human behavior.

Whether it is material benefit, spiritual benefit, or illusory benefit, it can all be analyzed by following the clues. Those seemingly absurd behaviors, as long as they are done, there is no such thing as no "benefit" that is lingering in their minds.

Chang Yufeng grabbed his thigh and squeezed it hard.

It’s difficult... Ice dragon, a female ice dragon.

Once captured by humans of any force, no matter whether they are forced to give birth to Ice Dragon hybrids or to cut apart all of the Ice Dragon's precious bones, skull, flesh, blood, and even various nervous systems for research, there will be no so-called cruelty.

Of course, you can condemn, but it is not necessary, because an apology will not bring you back to life, a life for a life will not bring you back to life, jail time will not bring you back to life, and a sentence of bad luck and innocence will not bring you back to life!

The best possibility is to not get hurt!

The most important thing is to learn from yourself and be more careful. You said that you won't die if you lose your arms and legs, but that means you will only live in the sorrow of disability for the rest of your life. If you live like that, you will be miserable even if you don't die.

No matter how much you say, it's all useless, because it is impossible for people to protect themselves all the time, and it is impossible to stay away from danger in the true sense. There are also things that are scary about unexpected misfortunes and other people's unprovoked disasters!
Then, this world is a circle of pessimism. Those who can escape from the circle of pessimism have beautiful thoughts, but they can only be deceiving themselves without any scruples.

Because being hurt is being hurt. You can't just say that you got slapped well and let others slap you again. You think you can make others angry, but in fact, this behavior will only make those who look down on you look down on you even more, and they will also say you are stupid.

In the end, the way to protect yourself is nothing more than tying yourself up in knots, because it is impossible for a human being to truly protect yourself in this world. In the end, if you can't figure it out, you can only leave this world. You can't get along with yourself, and you can't get over it in your heart. The only word you get is death.

Some people say that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Then Chang Yufeng's initial state was like this, an orphan, without parents, without friends, without future, without anything, only the usual darkness. The meaning of life may lie in the people he has to face every day - those people in the orphanage who are exactly the same as himself.

How should they live? Which of the following is the most important in living a good life as defined by others? Is there anyone who lives simply for the sake of living?

Some people, like Elaine now, have never met me, but I know that this person exists! Now she is suffering, waiting for her malice, leaving her no reason to live...

Simply because she is! The Ice Dragon!
If she were an ordinary girl, would anyone deprive her of the right to live? Yes, because in some countries, the status of women is not even as high as that of a dog. It may be incredible to say something absurd, but when it really happens, you will feel that it is so magical and realistic. It turns out that there are such things in this world... It's just that I don't know. The non-existent world has changed, but "I" didn't understand it. Elaine's death has become so important to me, so important... Whether Elaine recognizes me or not, whether Elaine is an ordinary woman or not, if I know it, I will save her without hesitation! This is in line with my life values. Once upon a time, I never felt that I was weak and had to die, and I never felt that I was strong and had to kill and crush the opponent, because no matter who I am, I am a person named Chang Yufeng.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is too difficult to understand, or even too boring, but what Chang Yufeng is concerned about is not whether to save him or not, but how to save him.

It is a life-saving rescue, even if it means fleeing to the ends of the earth, it is worthy of one's conscience. It is a rational rescue, starting with the solution to the problem, looking for more solutions, finding a way to save Elaine and prevent oneself and Lin'er from falling into despair.

He was more rational and put Elaine's life first.

This is not an either/or decision.

This is a choice that could have a better solution.

Chang Yufeng was thinking, but not just thinking. He might not care at all that his every step was calculated. What he cared about was why the person who calculated him was so sure that he had made a decision for him before he made a decision.

Select the dragon bone, use the dragon bone, gain strength, and rescue Elaine.

He is Chang Yufeng, not a hero who can save anyone.

He is just Chang Yufeng. In this reincarnation, his name is Chang Yufeng, pronounced as Chang Yufeng, and written as Chang Yufeng. All his actions were done by Chang Yufeng.

This self! Is making his own decisions, not others. His awakening of self-awareness has always been born from his own in-depth thinking. No one can impose the consciousness of others on others. Only others can accept or reject it, never both.

He still has to accept this "gift".

This is not out of helplessness, because I do not desire the power given by others. This is a choice made from my own heart.

If the person to be rescued was not Elaine, but someone else, he would definitely make this decision.

Because it doesn't depend on him at all, but on his heart.

He was never a saint.

Looking at the dragon bone, he seemed to know how to use it.

This feeling is neither good nor bad.

Seeing that Chang Yufeng was silent for a long time, Chun asked Lin'er: "Has he always been like this?"

"Yeah... yes... Brother Yufeng is always silent when he's thinking about something. Sometimes he'll suddenly fall into deep thought. I don't know what he's thinking about, but whenever he does this, I feel like Brother Yufeng must have been through a lot... telling himself in his heart what he should do instead of making a decision casually."

Lin'er looked at Chang Yufeng. There was a gleam in Chang Yufeng's eyes. Under the sun, he was sweating a little. Those beads of sweat were like the wisdom from meditation, making Chang Yufeng feel energetic.

His doubts and sadness are like a living person.

He doesn't need to hide himself at all. He is just thinking and doesn't need to tell anyone about his thoughts.

Of course, this may give others a bad impression, but it is inevitable. Chang Yufeng wants to be himself, which is extremely difficult in itself.

Come to think of it, it doesn’t really matter to other people.

Because just thinking is useless.

“Hahaha, isn’t this putting me in a dilemma where I can’t listen to other people’s advice? If I continue like this, I’ll easily become self-paranoid…”

Chun kindly reminded: "If a paranoid person possesses great power, it's okay if he is a little kind, but if he is not kind, many people will probably suffer."

"Paranoia..." Lin'er said the word Chun said. Seeing that Lin'er didn't understand, Chun touched her head and smiled: "It's just that you are too self-centered and completely reject all different opinions, and even do something out of line." Chun also smiled and said: "It's that even if your brother Yufeng is wrong, he won't listen to your advice... That's it. It's a terrible thing."

Lin'er was a little shocked. What she was thinking was that Chang Yufeng had his own independent thinking. Brother Yufeng obviously had his own kind persistence and smart behavior, but if paranoia occurred, all of this was based on the behavior of paranoia, then, wouldn't it be exactly the same as before?
Brother Yufeng, even if he did something wrong, he didn't have any regrets. Under the slap of the deputy dean, in this spiritual world full of suffering, under the gaze of Lin'er, the kind-hearted brother Yufeng did not change fundamentally.

It's just that his heart is now inclined to be kind, but his character of thinking that he is right has been retained from the beginning to the end. Although he is not paranoid now, but now such hidden thoughts, thoughts that are suppressed in his heart, things that he does based on his own thinking, and actions that he takes, are all up to him...

If he does what he thinks is right, isn't that just paranoia?

Lin'er really couldn't tell if it was just alarmist talk, but when it comes to paranoia, Brother Yufeng does show signs of this.

Always do what you think is right.

His, the right thing.

Lin'er felt a little lost. Looking at this boy who completely ignored what other people were thinking and focused on solving the problem on his own, she seemed to feel a little scared again.

Brother Yufeng, it turns out that you haven't changed at all...

Analyzing the problem, one would definitely think that it is a bit watery… Actually, it is not watery… Because the emotional foreshadowing under the general definition needs a beginning, a middle, a middle, and an end. Alas… I am really writing it with a heavy heart. I am actually afraid of such chapters that are hard to define whether they are watery or not. Of course, if the plot does not advance, it is watery, and I have nothing to say.
