I write about collapse in my daily life

Even if I have to distract myself and chat with the audience, and need one hand to suppress my evil sister, I, Luo Yu, will still be invincible in the world!

Mashiro, save me! (No)

Back to the game, when Mei, Kiana and Bronya reunited, inside St. Freya Academy, the doctors of Anti-Entropy were also discussing with Theresa how to deal with the Stigmata Project.

After making judgments based on the existing information, Einstein and Tesla came to the conclusion that the Cocoon of the End might be hidden in the deepest part of the human dream complex.

But judging from the current situation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to get people in dreams back to reality.

Because they found that people in the dream state were all having beautiful and happy dreams, and they would subconsciously resist the reality they were originally going to face.

In other words, the reason they cannot leave the dream is not because they cannot, but because they do not want to.

However, the solution that Anti-Entropy has come up with now requires ordinary people to pay an unbearable price.

Since people in dreams don't want to wake up, they only need to locate the most stable dreams and break them one by one. The remaining dreams will naturally disintegrate due to the instability of the system.

But... the price of doing so is that those whose dreams are shattered will suffer a heavy blow to their hearts.

Their memories, emotions, dreams... even the emotion of desire itself will be shattered along with their dreams.

For the owner of the dream, this is no less than a tsunami in the spiritual world.

Even if we return to reality, even if we think about it more optimistically, I am afraid it will turn into a situation similar to depression.

Faced with such a result, Theresa didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not long ago, she still firmly believed that she could contribute to the future of the world.

But when these costs did not belong to her, she could no longer make any answer.

She cannot bring down the final nail in the coffin of life for those who cannot be counted.

Tesla slammed the table angrily. She naturally understood Theresa's hesitation, because if they really did that, then what was the difference between them and the World Snake?

This is exactly why the plan was shelved before, but it is the only solution at the moment.

As a result, their actions came to a standstill, and there were actually not many worlds left for them to consider other options.

This is, without a doubt, a trolley problem, only more extreme.

On one side is the fall of all mankind, on the other side is sacrificing the lives of a small number of people in exchange for the lives of all people...

This is a very difficult decision for any person of conscience.

Because we are not qualified to decide the fate of others.

Perhaps if Theresa and the others just needed to be a little more ruthless and decisive, they could easily break the current deadlock.

But they are not, they are all idealists, so they are destined to not make the 'right' choice.

But Theresa understood that the current situation was not Kevin's mockery of them, and that man would not do such a thing.

This is more of a question than a mockery.

If they are destined to give up something for humanity and civilization...what kind of answer will they give?

Obviously, Kevin gave his own answer - the Stigmata Project.

What about them?

Suddenly, Theresa thought of her own experience. She remembered when she was set on fire by the Stigmata Project and was in a dream, she realized that she was in a dream.

Even if it was an accident, it also shows that the dream is not unbreakable.

So, after a while, Einstein came up with a new plan.

That is to sneak into the spiritual Adam, crack the closed dreams one by one, and when the dreams loosen, let these people return to reality. At the same time, try to locate the coordinates of the cocoon of the end in this process.

But this brings up a new problem, which is how to decipher the dream from the inside?

In this regard, Theresa gave her own answer.

At the beginning, she realized that she was dreaming, which gave her the opportunity to break through the dream.

Since the solidity of dreams comes from the rejection of reality, then as long as the dreamer accepts reality in some form, those solid dreams will begin to loosen, right?

"You have to know that, at least for some people, dreams are far more attractive than reality."

Tesla pointed out the flaws in Theresa's idea.

But soon, she suddenly realized something and excitedly confirmed Theresa's idea.

Since people who are addicted to dreams are because dreams are more attractive to them than reality, they only need to help them dream outside of the Stigmata Project, and they will realize that dreams have become a cage that restricts them.

In other words, if people have new desires in their dreams, but this dream cannot be realized, then these people will naturally form a confrontation with this dream collective.

However, this plan is actually not stable, because everything ultimately depends on humans themselves.

If those people didn't want to be saved, then there was no doubt about what Theresa did.

So this plan is also verifying whether human beings are worth saving.

In the end, Anti-Entropy and others agreed to Theresa's plan because they were always willing to believe in the goodness of human beings.

After that, it is time to decide the specific people who will enter the dream world.

This person must not only have enough tolerance for the stigmata space and not get lost in the dream, but also have convincing speaking skills in the dream...

Needless to say, Theresa directly volunteered and decided to enter the dream world of the Stigmata Project to awaken those people's perception of reality.

After all, she also has the ability of Vishnu, and among all the combatants, no one is more suitable for this job than her.

"However, compared to these objective reasons, haven't you forgotten one thing? Although I haven't attended the class..."

Theresa suddenly smiled and said,

"——But I am still the principal of St. Freya's school after all."

Chapter 654: Childhood Dreams

"Why do birds fly?"

After the meeting at St. Freya's Academy, the game's perspective returns to Kevin.

This was a memory of his past, a story about his encounter with a philosopher in the early days of modern civilization.

This question, which has made Kevin think for thousands of years, was also raised by this philosopher.

This philosopher certainly knew that birds are able to fly, just like all the instincts of human beings, which is a gift from God.

But even so, they could only explain why birds can fly, not why they want to fly.

After all, flying is like all human instincts. They are born to see, to hear, to go far away, and to conquer everything.

But this is a kind of power, and there are many people who choose to give up this power, but why, have they never seen birds give up flying?

"So here's what I'm saying, folks - if we were lucky enough to go back to the beginning of the world and see the first bird, it would not have had wings."

Under Kevin's indifferent gaze, the tired philosopher loudly expressed his thoughts to the crowd.

"At that time, what it possessed was not the wings it obtained by praying to the gods - but a heart as noble as the moon that wanted to touch the zenith."

[Come on, it’s time for Lao Zei’s favorite philosophy talk. ]

[Why do birds fly? Because they have a heart that wants to touch the sky. This is another new answer. ]

[The first bird that flew into the sky in the story just now, in reality, should refer to Kevin. ]

[So is Kevin destined to fall to his death like Icarus? ]

[Probably. After all, according to the current plot development, Kevin doesn't look like he can survive in the end.]

[Why do birds fly? Because they are born to fly, because they want to fly, because they must fly! These ideas all seem right. ]

[Realists’ answer: Birds are born to fly; Romantics’ answer: Birds want to fly… and Kevin, he is probably the bird that has to fly. ]

[Perhaps, that's why he hopes someone can surpass him, fly higher than him, transcend the civilized childhood, and witness the real sky! ]

[By the way, didn’t Kevin not even graduate from high school? Why does he seem to be talking about philosophy in a very complicated way? ]

[After all, even if he was in hibernation, Kevin has lived for thousands of years. Time is the best teacher.]

That being said, when did he become so clear about philosophy?

Luo Tianyi couldn't help but wonder, if Kevin could understand these things because he had experienced life insights over a long period of time... then what about his brother?

Are these the feelings he should experience at his age?

Could it be that my brother is also a genius in the field of philosophy?

Luo Yu: Yes, yes.

In the game, as the memories ended, the perspective shifted to the real Kevin, who was standing in a dark space with doors emitting white light.

He came to the inside of the spiritual Adam, and after entering here, the memories that he had forgotten before returned to his mind again.

This led to the audience seeing the memory he had just recalled.

Kevin came here just out of habit to take a look at this world that passed through his hands.

But what Kevin didn't know was that not long ago, another uninvited guest also came here, that was Theresa.

From the players' perspective, they can freely switch between Kevin or Theresa's perspective, and watch human dreams with them as the protagonists.

On one side is watching the dream normally, and on the other side is Adam who is deciphering the spirit.

Watching the development of this dual-threaded story, Luo Tianyi switched perspectives back and forth several times, and decided to look at the dream world from Kevin's perspective first.

Kevin observes human dreams, and Mo Yuruo lives happily in an unchanging world. Even though such a world has no future, it is the tranquility that people of their time longed for but could not obtain.

While Kevin was lost in thought, he didn't realize that he was standing in line at a ramen truck.

When he was about to leave, the boss had already handed him a bowl of popular ramen.

"Kevin still likes eating noodles so much."

Seeing this, Luo Tianyi sighed subconsciously.

If this isn't because he likes noodles, then he will subconsciously go to the noodle stall even when thinking.

But Kane fell silent. He knew that he should take it. In fact, everyone who knew him had imagined what he should do after he finally drove Honkai off this land, no matter what means he used.

Some people think that death would be the best outcome for him because he is too lonely.

Some people think that maybe he can finally let it go, hide his identity, sit in front of his simple home every night, eat a bowl of ramen, and recall the smiling faces of certain people.

Some people also believe that he can still become a mentor in the new era and once again escape the status of a sinner.

Kevin himself admitted that these futures were not illusory...and even briefly became his hopes at certain moments long ago.

But since the moment the Stigmata Project was completed, he had not planned any future for himself.

He did look for a place to bury himself, but he had other intentions. The life that existed in other people's imagination was indeed peaceful...

"...No need, sorry. The noodles are delicious."

The man turned and left the dream.

Peace belongs to him who brings everything to an end, not to him who becomes the end himself.

[From here we can see that Kevin has always been unable to integrate into the modern civilization like Fu Hua, mainly because he himself can't forget the past. ]

[Kevin always holds on to the past, which makes him seem out of place in this civilization. If he could completely forget the past like Fu Hua did, it would be a blessing.]

[But if we forget the past, will Kevin still be the Kevin we know? Maybe just like the ramen that the boss handed to him just now, someone did reach out to him, but he rejected it.]

Players are not fools, they can still see through such a simple metaphor.

Kaiwen's refusal of ramen, in a sense, also represented his rejection of modern civilization.

He is a person who has left the world, a bird destined to fall to its death. Among all the endings he had imagined, perhaps death is his best destination.

And Kevin has already gone to the next dream.

At this time, he recalled a memory.

It was after 'Why Birds Fly' that Kevin once again came before the tired philosopher.

This time, the philosopher's statement that "a man's character is his destiny" was questioned.

Then he threw out the classic sentence - I have a friend.

In response to Kevin's questioning, the philosopher asked another question: he asked Kevin if he had ever seen a hero.

The philosopher then explained to Kevin his understanding of heroes.
