Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 239 Luo Lin's View of Right and Wrong
"He's not an ordinary child. In a few days, he'll be an adult. Even now, his mind is far more mature than that of an average child. So, in this situation, we must not indulge him. Otherwise, if we're not careful, he might be completely corrupted and there's no way back."

Luo Lin shook his head, glanced at Little Amon, and said with a smile:
"But I'm really surprised that you have such a good relationship with Sherlock. It's good that you're willing to do things to make Sherlock happy, but your approach is wrong."

"...Then what is right?" Little Amon suddenly raised his head and looked at Rowling with a serious expression, even a little stubborn, as if he cared very much about the answer to this question.

"Right and wrong are difficult concepts to define, and in this matter..." Luo Lin paused here, probably taking a moment to think about how to explain it to little Amon, before continuing:
"You can give Sherlock some advice, help him do things that will improve our relationship, or use other things to distract Klein so he doesn't think about this anymore."

Little Amon had a thoughtful expression on his face, which made him look not like a ten-year-old child, but like a little adult.

"So the right thing cannot be done against the wishes of others, right?" Little Amon suddenly said after thinking for a while.

"Partially correct. I've just said that right and wrong are difficult concepts to define. Sometimes, due to different standpoints, right can become wrong, and some wrongs can become right under certain circumstances. However, it's really too early for you to grasp this concept." Luo Lin nodded, then shook his head, and finally said with a smile:
"For you now, just remember what you just said."

Little Amon probably didn't fully understand and nodded in confusion. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly said:

"……sorry."

Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, this time he was really surprised. He then raised the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said:
"I forgive you! Little Amon is a good kid. The best kids are those who admit their mistakes and correct them." After saying that, Luo Lin took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to little Amon. He patted his head and said, "Go and have a rest. I have something to discuss with your teacher, Will."

"Oh..." Little Amon took the candy, stood up without hesitation, and ran away.

"...You actually know how to teach a child?" Will, who had witnessed the entire scene, couldn't help but grumble, "I thought with your style, you would directly express that your own wishes are most important and that the wishes of others are unimportant."

"Of course I am like that." Rowling admitted without any embarrassment, which made Will choke.

Luo Lin continued with a smile, "But it's not that I don't know what is right, even though I may not necessarily abide by it. But I'm teaching Amon, so I must teach him in the best way."

After all, Amon's values are already distorted enough. If we don't correct them for the better, what good will he become?

"You are quite honest." Will couldn't help but sigh again.

Luo Lin glanced at Him, smiled, and said nothing more.

Will thought of something, looked at him and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's like this..." Luo Lin didn't keep anyone in suspense and quickly recounted the situation at the biology laboratory. Finally, he said, "So after comprehensive consideration, I want to hand over the biology laboratory affairs to you."

"Huh?" Will was stunned for a moment. He pointed at himself and said in surprise, "Me? But I don't know anything about this."

"You don't need to understand all this. I'll leave the professional stuff to the professionals. Will, you just need to coordinate them." Luo Lin shook his head and said. "But why me?" Will asked hesitantly after hearing Luo Lin's words.

"Because I can only trust you, Will." Luo Lin's tone was very sincere. He looked at Will and said, "The biological laboratory is very important. It concerns the future of mankind. I really don't feel at ease leaving it to others."

"Will you feel at ease if I leave it to you?" Will pursed his lips and said, "We've only known each other for a few days, right?"

"But before we met, I already knew what kind of person you were, Will." Rowling looked at Him with a smile and said:
"I believe that someone who would give up asking Klein to help accommodate uniqueness just because he's not in good condition is a friend worthy of my trust."

Will was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then puffed up his cheeks and said, "Alright, alright, I'll help you out. I'm going to work for you anyway... But let me make it clear, I really don't have any experience in biological experiments. The most I can do is manage the lab for you, but don't expect anything else."

"That's great." Luo Lin's smile brightened. After a pause, he smiled again and said, "Actually, even if you don't know anything, Will, you may still be able to help with the experiment."

"Huh?" Will looked at him in confusion.

"In the field of scientific research, knowledge and strength are important, but luck is also an indispensable factor..." Luo Lin smiled and explained to Will several things that were invented due to luck, and finally concluded:
"So Will, if you can just give those researchers some luck once in a while, it will make a big difference."

Will raised his eyebrows after hearing this and suddenly said, "You haven't calculated this a long time ago, have you?"

"What?" Luo Lin looked at him with a smile.

"You must have calculated this long ago..." Will seemed to have gotten the answer from his smile and said, "No wonder you clearly don't need my luck, but you still... waited for me here."

"...Is Will angry?" Rowling neither admitted nor denied, but just asked.

"Why are you angry? We are partners. Isn't it normal for us to need each other's help?" Will looked at him doubtfully, then sighed and said:

"It's just that I didn't expect you to want me to do this. Tsk, I thought you just wanted to help with the fight... Sigh, I feel the responsibility on my shoulders suddenly become heavier."

Will is a good man, at least he is a lawful person among angels.

Because of this, Will feels a lot of pressure now to take on the responsibility of the biological laboratory.

Rowling could naturally see what Will was worried about, and he didn't feel embarrassed about it. After all, if Will was an irresponsible person, he would not hand over the affairs of the biological laboratory to him.

Luo Lin simply said, "Don't be too stressed. Although the biological laboratory is in your charge, even if the laboratory ultimately doesn't produce anything, no one else can be blamed. Life will find its own way out. Even if the biological ascension route is blocked, we can always find another way."
