I write about collapse in my daily life

(Audience: Wrong calculation, I didn’t expect he still has it!)

The philosopher told Kevin that everyone else thought Icarus died in an accident because of his arrogance.

But what if, all those years ago, this was what Ikaros had wanted to do?

What if he had intended from the beginning to soar into the sky and then meet his victory by falling to his death?

At that time, Kevin didn't understand why Ikaros did that, so he asked in confusion.

"[Their ideals are completely opposite. They hope that their ideals will be trampled upon.] - He is the other kind of hero you have seen... But what value does this have? Providing a ladder for others to step on, using one's own failure to tell others not to fly too high?"

"On the contrary, what he wanted to prove was one thing - [I flew to the sun, a place no one has ever reached, so maybe someone can surpass me.]"

The dying philosopher smiled and put the question back to Kevin.

"So, why do birds fly?"

Because they had seen the first bird, with a heart as noble as the moon, try to touch the zenith, but fall to the ground and die.

Because they have seen that later birds made similar attempts and flew higher and higher - so at this moment, the birds are still circling in the sky.

So which bird would I be?

Kevin didn't know.

Icarus did not fail; his death was the fruit of flight, the end of another kind of victory.

Even though this is an extremely narrow view, the wishful thinking of a romantic, it may be the only rule that can make the world go around.

Breaking away from his memories, Kevin walked forward with a determined look in his eyes.

"That's right. In order to prevent the sun from setting, I flew up to the sky and snatched away your light. I will melt and fall into the sea. But to take it back, you, you——must fly higher than me. This is the logic of adults after childhood."

Kevin walked through the light gate and looked quietly at the successor who was blocking his way.

He changed to talking to himself, as if he was talking to this person.

"Have you realized this now, man of Tianyuan?"

------

"Oh my goodness, this is the end of my philosophy. If I continue, I'm afraid I really won't know why birds fly."

【Welcome to watch the Honkai Impact 3rd large-scale philosophical series - Why do birds fly? 】

[Whether you understand or not, I understand now. ]

[Do you really understand? ]

[Nonsense! To be honest, this philosophical proposition is actually quite good. The old thief completely reveals Kevin's thoughts to us through the topic of why birds fly. Kevin used to disagree with the philosopher's words, but now he has walked on the path of another kind of hero as described by the philosopher.]

[I didn't expect that Kevin's later soliloquy was actually directed to Yulandel. I didn't expect that Yulandel would come as well.]

[By the way, can Yulandel stop Kevin? This time it's not just a small fight, nor is it a test of each other. ]

[I think it's uncertain. Although Youlan Daier has achieved Tianyuan, Kevin can now be regarded as a final death. ]

[But there is still a chance. Yulandel only needs to hold Kevin back and buy Theresa enough time.]

The audience in the live broadcast room also started to discuss lively. Although many people did not understand philosophy, now combined with the plot, they could understand the meaning.

After all, the discussion of philosophy in the game is really just in service of the profound portrayal of the characters in place.

As long as the players get to know Kevin carefully, they will naturally understand this plot.

Kevin is the 'Ikaros', the original bird, the pioneer of self-sacrifice.

If no one can surpass his height, then he will take away the sun's light and use darkness to protect other birds.

But if someone could cross him, he would gladly fall down and greet his end which was fifty thousand years late.

Surprisingly, Kevin and Yulandel did not fight. Instead, the two strongest people from two different eras stared at each other.

After a long silence, it was the blonde Valkyrie who spoke first. She wanted to have a conversation with Kevin across time periods.

Kevin agreed, and they came to a dream where the original Kaslana and the last Kaslana sat on a fence and began their conversation.

Kevin told Youlan Daier that a comrade once told him that they could not defeat a group of primitive people living in a hole underground. Sitting on the ground, his hands and feet were chained, and he could only see the boring stone wall in front of him by the firelight behind him.

Occasionally, with the help of the firelight, the shadow of something would be cast on the stone wall, and those shadows were the entire world in their eyes.

Upon hearing this, Yulandel told him that if Kevin was just speaking metaphorically, then as he said, Fu Hua had already left the cave he mentioned, so he could do the same.

"Maybe...if there is no Stigma Project. It does require determination to fully integrate into your world, but it is not difficult."

Kevin said in silence.

"What's really difficult is how to let go of everything after doing these things."

Hearing this, the players couldn't help but reveal complicated expressions.

They couldn't help but think of the first dream, in which Kevin refused the ramen handed to him by the boss after a moment of silence.

Just as he said, if it weren't for the Stigmata Project, Kevin would really have the opportunity to integrate into this world like Fu Hua and become a member of the modern civilization.

But in the end, because of Mei's advice and the promise he made to his companions, he embarked on this destined lonely road and gave up everything.

Players don’t know if Mei would have handed over the Stigmata Project to Kevin if she had known that things would develop to this point today.

But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Mei would still hand over the Stigmata Project to Kevin.

Because she understood Kevin, she needed to give Kevin a goal that would keep him alive after she died.

And this is the Stigmata Plan.

Maybe Mei gave the Stigmata Project to Kevin in the first place just to allow the boy she liked to continue living?

Yulandel said Kevin didn't want to be Otto, and Kevin told her that it was unnecessary.

He bluntly stated that his arrogance was no different from Otto's, because he had been playing the role of coffin maker from the beginning.

But Yulandel doesn't think so. She defines your identity as the group of people who planted the seeds.

This surprised Kevin.

"This is beyond my confidence. At least, when we reach the battle soon, we will still try our best to kill each other."

This is an unchangeable fact and the only way to defeat Honkai.

Chapter 656: Dreams of Adults

"I know. After all...your dear friend, Sue - I think he's accepted that."

"Ah......"

When Kevin heard Youlandel mention Su's name, his indifferent expression changed for the first time, and his tone sounded much more relieved.

"So, I think both he and I have grown up."

"Although he didn't resort to words, I think, in his eyes, you were the bravest and strongest person of that era."

Facing this 'enemy' in front of her, Yulandel said from the bottom of her heart,

"You stand in front of us.

Chapter 657 A Difficult Decision

"What's going on? Does this old woman know this is a dream?"

Luo Tianyi was also shocked. She didn't expect that there would be a master in this dream.

The old woman told Theresa and Xier that she was just someone's imaginary family, so she knew that this was a dream.

"Then do you know how to end this dream?"

Theresa asked.

"Well, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort. After all...if she hadn't had this dream, she might not have lived long."

The old woman's words surprised the two of them.

The old woman told them that he had been bedridden for several years before coming here, and the doctor said he would not live past this autumn. Now, almost all the people who share this dream with him are in a similar situation.

"So, I also have a question for you—"

The old woman looked at Theresa and Xier. Her tone was gentle, but her words were like a sharp knife, piercing into the hearts of the two.

"For those who still have hope, leaving the dream is a blessing for the brave. But what about those who have no future?"

Theresa and Xier couldn't help but fall into silence.

Such soul-touching questions made the audience in the live broadcast room fall into deep thought.

Yes, they can help those who still have a future and hope to leave their dreams.

But what if they have no future? What reason or qualifications do they have to deprive them of their right to continue to dream?

[No solution...If Theresa and the others insist on letting the old man leave the dream, it is basically equivalent to killing him with their own hands.]

[I didn't expect that the old thief would really bring up this kind of problem. Now, how are Delisha and the others going to solve it? ]

[No wonder this dream is so real. I'm afraid that for that old man, even such an ordinary life is already a kind of happiness.]

[If it were me, and I knew that I would die if I left the dream, I would definitely choose to spend the last days of my life in the dream.]

[Yes, since he really chose to stay in the dream, no one can blame him. ]

The audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it, and this question completely aroused their desire to discuss, making them unable to help but discuss it.

Is it right or wrong to let happy people leave the dream?

Of course, most people think it is wrong, because people are emotional, and letting an old man suffering from illness leave the dream is really equivalent to killing him with your own hands.

They couldn't do it, and neither could Theresa and Xi'er.

Now there is no correct answer to this question, because no matter what choice is made, the other side will always suffer losses.

If they choose not to destroy the old man's dream, then they will not be able to break through the Stigmata Project and save all the people on the earth.

Choosing to destroy an elderly person's dreams is equivalent to depriving him of his life.

Of course, they could also convince themselves that the old man was dying anyway, and his fate was already determined regardless of whether he had the dream or not.

But, can this really convince themselves?

impossible!

Because they are "good people", a group of idealists, they can't deceive themselves.

So, Theresa and the others were in a dilemma again.

So, the audience quickly watched the plot carefully. They wanted to know what choice Theresa would make under such circumstances.

In the plot.

Theresa and Xier found the owner of the dream, who was a kind old grandfather.

Both of them didn't know how to start the conversation, but the old man entertained them warmly.

Then the old man took the initiative to say that he knew this was just a dream. After all, such a life was really an overly luxurious dream for him.

"When you get old, you realize that what you really want and what you really pursue are the most ordinary and common days. I made many mistakes when I was young and wasted a lot of time. Now I am old and lying in a hospital bed, but the machine is sustaining the rest of my life. I realize how precious the ordinary things that I take for granted are."

After saying this, the old man looked at Dao in a daze and asked her soul-shaking questions word by word.

"I am willing to give up everything I have accumulated throughout my life in exchange for this false dream - even so, are you still going to wake me up from this dream?"

"us......"

Theresa and Xier fell silent for a moment. Faced with such a heavy question, they couldn't continue speaking.

[It’s so difficult! It’s so difficult! How can I make a choice? ]

[I don’t know. I don’t know how to answer.]

[It would be fine if the old man didn't know that this was just a dream, but he already knew it. If Theresa and the others really wanted to wake him up from the dream, they would just tell him to his face and let him die.]

[Yes, the difficult thing is not to wake up a person who is in a dream, but to wake up a person who is in a dream but clearly knows that he is dreaming. ]

[Also, don't forget. This old man is just the master of the dream, and this dream is made up of the dreams of all the people who are similar to him. So it's not enough to just convince the old man. Even if he agrees, what about so many other people? Will they agree? Are they willing to give up their lives? ]

【Now that you say that, I feel even more difficult. 】
