Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

[His miserable state is deserved.]

[March 7th: This means that if you're even willing to abandon your child, you have to bear the consequences yourself.]

"If he gets caught, will the hounds let him off the hook? The answer is no. They can't bear the consequences, and naturally they won't risk helping him."

(Another option: the man became wealthy, and when he was arrested for usurping power, he was asked about his children, and he replied, "What children...")

"I deeply regret this decision once again. This will be the third and final decision I make—"

"And this story... belongs to me personally."

This story takes place on the very day I assumed the position of head of the Oak family. By then, Gopherwood had become the current Dream Master, and at his request, we had a private conversation.

To my surprise, the dreamer only sent me a letter. He asked me to read the contents of the letter, and that letter... was from my sister.

In the grayed-out scene, Sunday's brows furrowed and his face showed anger.

The letter contained nothing more than everyday pleasantries, along with snippets of her travels and observations from various realms. Just as I was wondering what the letter had to do with the meeting, the dreamer spoke.

Do you know who wrote this letter?

On Sunday, in a cheerful mood, I thought, "Of course it was my younger sister's doing. Why would the dreamer visit me about our daily trivial matters?"

"To make you understand this, do you know where the robin is right now?"

Sunday: "Judging from the contents of the letter... it should be No. 8 Caspelling, right? She's patrolling there..."

"Yes. Did she mention being hit by a stray bullet?"

Sunday's tone changed noticeably: "Stray bullets? What..."

"A war broke out on that planet. That's why the robin chose it as her destination... In order to spread harmony and save life on the planet, she went to the front lines herself."

"She hoped to soothe people's pain with her singing and was willing to use her own flesh and blood to provide support for the company's relief supplies delivery... Unfortunately, stray bullets are merciless."

[March 7th: My goodness, Miss Robin is so brave! This is true harmony!]

My poor little bird, she truly lives up to her reputation as our favorite singer.

[I'm just a casual observer, but at this moment I'm a huge fan of Miss Robin.]

[Yao Jiayin: As a singer who rushed to the front lines to save lives, I will also strive to use my music to help everyone.]

[Robin: Thank you for your support. I was just doing what I was supposed to do, practicing the philosophy of harmony.]

On Sunday, she asked anxiously, "How is she now?!"

"If the surgery was successful, he should be recuperating in a field hospital now."

"By the Star God, the bullet went straight into her neck... However, perhaps as a reward for her usual acts of kindness and harmony, the bullet did not wound her vital organs. You should reply to her as soon as you have finished dealing with your trivial matters."

[Teresa: I can't imagine how worried and scared I'll be on Sunday. What if... no, that will never happen.]

[Ying: This is family.]

[Bluebird: It pierced right through... its neck, how terrifying! Luckily, the robin is alright.]

Sunday, filled with hatred: "Those... damned barbarians! I'm packing my bags right now... Thank you for telling me this, Mr. Gopher!"

"Now you know why she often wore such an elaborate necklace, right?"

March 7: "How could this happen... Miss Robin..."

"That's all in the past, so please don't worry about it. I'm sharing this story only so that you can understand the limitations and dilemmas of Tonghe. No matter how grand the vision of the strong helping the weak may be, it is often just wishful thinking."

Wendy: It seems Mr. Sunday only decided to return to order after this incident.

Family members are often a person's Achilles' heel.

[Nasita: He believed that harmony was merely spiritual support, without any real change.]

"Similarly, I have prepared one last task for you, one last choice. But rest assured, this choice will not bring any heavy consequences."

"In reality, nothing will happen. Because it's just wishful thinking, a nightmare that has haunted me for countless nights—if you all had the chance to make the same choice as me..."

"Will you still support the robin's journey to harmony?"

Of course we have to stop it; we can't just stand by and watch them get hurt.

Wendy: You should ask Miss Robin what she thinks. Is choosing a path for someone else really freedom?

[The Robin: I never regret embarking on the path of harmony, bringing hope to those in need, and practicing the meaning of harmony—helping the weak with the strong.]

[Ring: Miss Robin is truly amazing.]

Xing spoke with several people about their opinions, but none of them gave a definite answer.

[Kafka: When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it.]

After pondering for a long time, Xing finally made her choice—

Support the robin's journey.

"Ah... I see."

When I opened my eyes on Sunday, everything was back to how it was when I first arrived.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at the four people out of the corner of her eye.

“I understand your positions.”

Turning to face the group, he said, “I’m raising these questions to clarify one thing: Pinocchio’s predicament cannot be saved by harmony. The only way to truly build a dreamland is through an order that forces the weak to submit.”

[Hu Tao: Yay! I support Miss Robin too!]

Even though you're her brother, you shouldn't make the choice for her.

He didn't choose it; he just thought about it. If your loved ones knew they would get hurt, could you remain indifferent?

[Fireworks: Let's believe in the God of Fun! Joy is the most important thing!]

With his right hand on his chest, Sunday looked on with pity.

“I know how painful it is for people to suffer, how lost they are when they are disoriented… even desperate. All of this makes me suffer, because it cannot be called happiness.”

His expression hardened.

"We must teach the weak how to live happily. And this is not the kind of life that celebrities and nobles talk about, but the way of life that belongs to human beings in the absolute sense."

After listening, Liu Ying asked, "In your opinion... what constitutes a happy life?"

Sunday nodded: "Good question. Human consciousness is essentially an illusion, a series of prisons called self-worth. People are led astray by this illusion, make mistakes, and the consequences are borne by external things."

"When one mistake after another fills the crowd, becoming impossible to trace... these prisons together form a prison, a natural law called survival of the fittest."

"Nature is always accompanied by plunder and sacrifice... Its opposite is called order."

Chapter 87 Seven Days Off

On Sunday, a confident smile played on his lips.

"What I want to do is precisely this: to bring the happiness of all beings under a single order. Only when people no longer have to make bitter choices, no longer have to confront the weaknesses of human nature, and abandon the habits of beasts can a paradise belonging to humankind be established."

“Simply describing the idea is too abstract, so let me give you a simple example. As you may know, there is a social operating mechanism in some worlds called the two-day weekend or the three-day weekend.”

On March 7th, Xing and the others exchanged glances.

What does order have to do with weekends?

Two days off a week, three days off a week? Sorry, we've never even heard of that. We work 24/7!!!

[Scott: Seriously? Do you guys even have enough to live on? Do you have any savings? ...You want to take a break.]

On Sunday, ignoring the reactions of the others, he continued talking about his ideal system.

"On the hard-won days off, people are able to escape the pressures of life and return to peace of mind."

"Only on such days can people live happily without having to face the law of the jungle. It's just a pity that two or three days are still too short compared to a long life."

At this moment, Sunday, with his blue-gray hair, golden eyes, and a halo above his head, seemed to be bathed in divine light, reciting the Bible.

"In my view, the ideal social system should be a seven-day weekend. The day after Sunday is the second, the third, and even the eternal Sunday—this is the face of the new world, a day of eternal peace and inactivity."

"Thus, everyone can return to their original place. Some gaze at the Milky Way, intently calculating the distance between us and the isolated world of Pegana (the starting point of the galactic orbit), while others embrace each other in a corner, free from unnecessary responsibilities..."

"Only by no longer having to endure the suffering of reality can humanity face its destined end with the highest purity and live a life full of dignity. This is what it means to live happily."

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

[Yuzhen: Seven-day weekend, this is amazing! I don't have to figure out how to ask for leave anymore.]

[Sunday Bro, I admit I spoke a bit too loudly earlier.]

[Hu Tao: But if no one works, how can society function? Who will handle matters related to the dead and the living?]

[Qingque: Who could resist this attraction? That would mean playing Qiongyu cards all day long, how wonderful…]

[Robin: Seven-day weekends are wonderful, but...brother, everything comes at a price...can you bear it?]

[Long live Sunday! I can't take this shift for another second. Heading to Pinocchio.]

[Star: Sounds good, too bad I don't have a job... hahaha.]

[Sunday: It was a wonderful paradise, but the price... was simply the sacrifice of me.]

[Zhe: Goodness, you actually created Sunday!]

Brothers, if Order is truly resurrected, what's there to worry about? That's the power of the Star Gods. Protecting Pinocchio isn't easy; we must support them!

[Fufu: It's wonderful, but I still hope to live in reality, with my people.]

[Seriously, don't you feel empty if you're always happy?]

[Praise be to the Zhou emperor!]

After saying that, Sunday looked at Firefly and said, "Miss Firefly, you who suffer from entropy loss syndrome must understand what this means, right?"

Liu Ying clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply, a hint of struggle showing on her face.

Her wish is to live like a normal person.

March 7th scratched his head: "It sounds... like it's flawless..."

Himeko sighed softly but did not respond.

Firefly: "Then... what is the price for all of this?"

On Sunday, he shook his head, turned his back to everyone, and left.

"The price is negligible, just a personal... permanent martyrdom. If this paradise is to be maintained for all, someone must remain in solitary lucidity until the end of the universe."

[Rin: Being alone forever, that's something a person can definitely endure.]

Greatness needs no words.

Walter: ...

[Robin: That was just a dream. It's too cruel to everyone, including you.]

Liu Ying frowned, her eyes sharp: "Sober... that means the paradise is still a dream. Stepping into the paradise means abandoning reality, right?"

"This is not giving up, but transcending. Flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable. If material things are the root of spiritual suffering, then we should overcome them."

[That's right. Material things, in the end, are just what the body needs to maintain. If we just give up our flesh and blood and keep only the spirit, wouldn't we be able to achieve immortality and enjoy spiritual pleasures?]

[Fireworks: That's not true pleasure!]

[Flesh and blood are weak and vulnerable, while machinery ascends to immortality. Does that count too?]

[Yuzhen: I agree with the seven-day weekend, but I can't give up on reality.]

Stepping forward, Firefly said, "But in such faith, people have never overcome suffering, and have forever lost the opportunity to overcome it. In other words... it's escapism."

Yu Guang glanced back and said, "You can think that way, but there's nothing shameful about running away. On the contrary, everyone has the seed of running away in their heart."

Escaping is shameful, but it's useful.

[Qingque: But I can't run away from everything. Even when I slack off, I finish my work early before I do.]

Wendy: There will come a day when it's unavoidable.

"Don't you think so too, Miss Firefly? Why does life sleep? It's because people are afraid to wake up from their dreams."

"But this does not conflict with a great cause. Only by acknowledging this can we understand the weakness of human nature, and thus embrace and protect it."

[Bai'er: He possesses divinity, compassion for humanity, and not only has ideas but also abilities. Compared to him, what do I have? Intelligence, strength… I am inferior to him.]
